Chapter 201 Second Recruitment
Song Hong wanted to refuse, but was pulled to sit by Shen Xiangxi and Shen Xiangnan. Song Hong really didn't expect the Shen family to be so welcoming.
"Brother, let me tell you, Ruoqing's sister-in-law cooks delicious food. She used to work in a state-owned restaurant!" Song Feifei saw that Song Hong was also pulled to sit down, and chuckled twice, hoping that her brother would not blame her.
After a few drinks, Song Hong had become close friends with the four brothers of the Shen family.
"Brother Song Hong, what do you think of the taste of our bacon?"
"You know what, the smoked meat in your brigade is really delicious. We can't eat such delicious smoked meat in our army."
"Brother, do you have money? Let's buy some food to take back." Song Feifei also likes to eat it.
"I have to buy some and bring it back for my mom to try. I also want to buy some for my comrades to try."
"If it tastes good, I'll give you some. You can take it back and let them try it." Shen Xiangbei said with a smile.
"That won't do. We must not take even a penny from the people." Hearing this, Song Hong's expression became serious.
"It's not free, it's a tasting." Shen Ruoqing also laughed, "Brother Feifei, aren't you in the army? Didn't you just say that the food in the army is average? My fourth brother wants to ask you to bring some bacon to the army for free tasting. If it tastes good, your army will definitely order it, and we won't suffer any loss."
"Tasting? This term is new." Song Hong was a little sober at this time. He finally understood that the Shen family wanted to sell the smoked meat to the army.
"Well, I'm afraid..."
"Brother Song Hong, we don't have any other intentions. Don't rush to refuse. You also said that the food in the cafeteria is average. I am also thinking about improving the food for the soldiers. I just want you to take it over and have someone try it. Let the cafeteria cook two meals for the soldiers to try and see if our smoked meat is popular with the soldiers. If the response is average, it doesn't matter if you don't order it. It's just to taste it and give it a try."
Song Hong was still a little hesitant. Although this matter didn't sound like there was any big problem, he just felt that something was weird.
Later, after being persuaded by the Shen brothers, Song Hong agreed.
Finally, Song Hong and Song Feifei carried a big bag of bacon and were taken away by Shen Xiangxi on a tractor.
If they can get the order from the army, then their food factory will be stable. Therefore, initial investment is necessary.
The effort was rewarded. When Song Hong returned to the army, he took the smoked meat to the logistics department. Everyone responded very well to the smoked meat. In addition, Shen Xiangbei said that this was for the army and the price was favorable, so the matter was settled. Zhongxing Food Factory also signed its first long-term and stable large order.
It was also a double blessing. Huang Lili, whom Shen Ruoqing met in the provincial capital, whose father worked in a steel factory, had always kept in touch with Shen Ruoqing, and the two often sent stamps to each other. But this year they hadn't sent stamps for a long time. Shen Ruoqing suddenly remembered her and sent Huang Lili some bacon.
Supplies are scarce now, and the steel plant is a large factory. The smoked meat tastes good, so they don’t mind the higher price, so they decided to place a large order.
With these two large orders, the non-staple food factory seemed to be short of staff.
This requires a second recruitment.
The enthusiasm for recruiting this time is even higher than last time.
Because the factory had only been in operation for two months, each of the first batch of employees received a salary of at least 18 yuan per month.
Who wouldn’t be jealous? After two months, he was already thirty-six, and some people even made over forty after two months.
Who wouldn’t be moved by this?
Working in the fields, you may not earn more than a few dozen dollars in a year.
But the second recruitment had a much higher requirement, requiring at least a junior high school education and the ability to write and calculate. This was also done to make the villagers pay attention to education and let everyone know the importance of knowledge. Not only the brigade recruited, but also other brigades. Of course, the brigade had priority.
Why recruit people from other brigades? Shen Ruoqing told Shen Xiangbei that this was for the commune to see.
"Are you saying that your brigade is going to recruit workers from other brigades?" The commune secretary was writing furiously, but he couldn't help but put down his pen when he heard this.
Shen Xiangbei nodded and put the details they had discussed in front of the commune secretary. "Please check if there are any mistakes or omissions, and give us some suggestions."
The paper was the letter paper distributed by the commune. On the thin paper, a dozen requirements were neatly copied, and below it were the benefits and treatment after successful application, which were written in great detail.
In addition to recruiting, Shen Xiangbei also reported to the commune secretary on the current situation of the Zhongxing Non-staple Food Factory. In fact, these things can be simply reported at the collective meeting a week later by writing a report. Shen Xiangbei just wants to show his achievements so that the commune can allocate more resources to them.
After hearing the report, the commune secretary smiled and praised them a few words.
Shen Xiangbei took the opportunity to hit the snake with the stick: "Secretary, our brigade's pig farm is doing well now. The boars have grown meat very quickly after being bred. Now they weigh more than 100 kilograms. The breeding pigs have also given birth to many piglets..."
This time, the commune secretary did not agree with him. Instead, he asked cautiously, "What do you want to say?"
Captain Tang on the side laughed twice: "Secretary, these pigs need pig feed to grow fat, and we want to buy some oil residue."
Well, here comes another difficult problem for him.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Oil residue is also in short supply now.
The oil residue from the oil mill had already been divided up, so how could there be any left for them? When the commune secretary told them about the problem, Shen Xiangbei asked, "The oil residue from the oil mill is not enough because the oil is limited. If our brigade also grows oil, does the oil residue belong to our brigade?"
The commune secretary thought for a moment and said, "That's fine, but where do you get the oil seeds?"
Shen Xiangbei blushed and looked at the commune secretary again.
Commune Secretary: “…”
"Okay, next year I'll find a way to get a batch of oil seeds for your team." It turned out that after going around in circles, he was waiting for him here.
Oil seeds are scarce, and all the brigades need them. But there is no other way. It's not good to refuse now. "Secretary, it would be better to buy rapeseed seeds. Rapeseed stalks are also nutritious for feeding pigs."
"It would be great if it could be approved next year. Are you still choosing?"
"Hehe, isn't this the best? If not, it's not impossible to get some peanuts, soybeans or something like that."
"Okay, okay, I'll try my best."
After getting a satisfactory answer, Shen Xiangbei and Captain Tang left contentedly.
The second recruitment was open to a wider range of people and received more applications.
Shen Xiangbei handed the registration list to Shen Xiangdong, who has been very busy recently. Shen Ruoqing was also not free, as she had to go to the clinic to help whenever she had time.
There is only one proper doctor in the clinic, Doctor Li, and the other two people who came here have no medical knowledge at all.
