"This trash can can process leftover food into fertilizer. Our urban management fertilizer has been inspected by an inspection agency and is proven to be natural fermented fertilizer, or farmyard manure. You can sell this farmyard manure to flower shops for a good price."
"Plastics can be turned into plastic pellets, and packaging bags can be turned into clean paper. These things fetch much more than the price you get for selling your waste. Isn't that impressive?"
"And the government says that the waste after disposal belongs to you. If you sell it, it might even earn more than your salary. Does that count as a blessing?"
Captain Cai's words sparked discussions among the sanitation workers below.
Zhang Shaohua was so happy that she could hardly stand. The snack street she was in charge of had twenty trash cans, and they were always full at the end of the day. Sometimes, when the trash cans were full, there would be a pile outside.
If all these things can be converted as Captain Cai said, then the money from selling them will definitely be higher than my salary, and I should be able to take my granddaughter to eat hamburgers and French fries.
Zhang Shaohua's son and daughter-in-law are both gone. She raised her granddaughter alone. Her monthly salary was barely enough for rent and food, and she also had to pay for her granddaughter's tuition.
My granddaughter was very curious about the hamburgers and French fries her classmates talked about, but she was sensible and never asked for them.
Not only can I take my granddaughter to eat some delicious food, but I can also take her to the oceanarium and the zoo, and even enroll her in an interest class.
While Zhang Shaohua was still lost in her rosy dreams, a loud-mouthed woman protested to Captain Cai, "Captain, can I switch areas with Zhang Shaohua? She has the most trash and must earn the most money. This isn't fair."
Captain Cai frowned as he looked at the auntie, feeling a bit of a headache. This auntie was the most troublesome among the sanitation workers. She could not afford any loss and was the only one who got to take advantage.
The snack street that Zhang Shaohua is currently in charge of was first assigned to this auntie. This auntie started crying and making a fuss within a month of working there.
Captain Cai was so frustrated that she let Zhang Shaohua exchange responsibilities with her.
Captain Cai didn't mince words in response to the aunt's protest: "Why didn't you do that earlier? You picked an easy area yourself. If you don't change it, you'll have to wait at least three years. If you want more garbage, go find it yourself."
"Okay, that's all I have to say. Go back to your assigned areas. Someone will bring the trash cans over shortly."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sanitation workers standing in the yard dispersed and ran to the areas they were responsible for.
Zhang Shaohua returned to the snack street. There was already garbage on the ground, so Zhang Shaohua began to clean it up.
After the cleanup was completed, a tool truck pulled the trash can to the snack street. The silver-white trash can looked very good and attracted onlookers from merchants.
A merchant familiar with Zhang Shaohua said to her with some concern: "Auntie Zhang, this silver trash can looks nice, but it's too difficult to maintain. Your task is already difficult. Why don't you ask your team leader to move you to a less crowded area?"
Zhang Shaohua smiled and stroked the silver trash can, saying, "This is the latest model. It can dispose of the garbage. We won't need the garbage truck anymore."
"Besides," Zhang Shaohua said proudly, "the government has stipulated that the processed goods belong to us. This snack street I'm in charge of is now a great place that no one else can get."
He then shouted to the surrounding businesses: "From now on, you can let me handle the garbage in your store."
"How do you deal with this?"
"It's..." Zhang Shaohua stood beside the trash can and introduced it carefully to everyone.
