Chapter 256: Want to install electric wires in the factory
When Wu Xianglan sent the things over, Shen Meng was a little surprised. These things were like plucking feathers from an iron rooster. However, seeing her sincerity, Shen Meng did not refuse and accepted them directly.
The night before, I took a few children to eat hot pot. The little guys were very happy. They wanted to eat it again tonight. They sat at the table one by one, looking at Shen Meng with bright eyes.
It was impossible to eat hot pot. After all, it was not prepared in advance. There were some rice noodles brought back from southern Yunnan at home. I could boil a bowl for each of them. It was convenient, simple and quick, and I didn’t have to make anything else.
After soaking the rice noodles, I started preparing the side dishes, bean sprouts, green vegetables, kelp, bean curd, bone soup, and a spoonful of chili oil. It was delicious.
"Let's have rice noodles tonight. If you want to have hot pot, wait until your father comes back. It's not good for your body to always eat such strong food. It's easy to get angry."
"Mom, today we went to the Touhua Factory to see the construction of the house. The construction there is really fast. My third aunt has hired a large group of people. However, some old men in our village are scolding you and the cadres in the village, saying that so many people come to work to make money, which will delay the planting of crops in the future."
"I heard it too. I think that old man, hiss~ so hot, just saw me and said it in front of me on purpose. Humph, I guessed his intention at once."
Mingfang saw that her two brothers had finished talking. She opened her mouth but said nothing. They were all children. These things were just nonsense said by adults. Those who talked about mom behind her back, didn't they all have no one working in the hairpin factory at home? Seeing others making money, they couldn't make any money, so they must be jealous in their hearts!
"They may say bad things, but they may feel sour in their hearts, mom, don't be angry."
Shen Meng listened to Mingkai comforting her and was a little surprised. This child seemed to have become much more sensible in recent days, and every time he said something, it made people feel surprised.
"My mother is not angry, but if the villagers say these things, you should just pretend you didn't hear them. Some older people have a very deep love for the land and crops. A few decades ago, people basically didn't have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear, and there were especially many people who died of starvation. So seeing so many people go to the flower factory, I feel very complicated. On the one hand, I am happy to see that everyone can make money, but on the other hand, I also feel that everyone goes to make money, and these people who work on the crops are not happy. It's less, and they're afraid that there will be no one to do the work when both of them are competing. This is very understandable. "
Even though Mingliang was thirsty for soup because of the spiciness, he still finished the soup in the bowl. He put down the bowl and looked at Shen Meng and said, "Mom, after hearing what you said, I won't secretly scold the old men and women in the village when they gossip in the future. They are so pitiful."
Shen Meng: "........"
Come on, next time we see you, you might not be able to resist and scold others!!!
After dinner, before Shen Meng had time to put away the dishes and chopsticks and take them to the kitchen, there was a knock on the gate. Director Guo was holding a stack of information in his hand, followed by Lu Debang and Zhang Hongfa.
"Xiao Meng, hehe, we are here to tell you good news. Oh, did you just have dinner?"
"Look at what you said, what do you mean by reporting? I just had dinner. Have you eaten? There are still some rice noodles in the pot. If you haven't eaten, I will boil two bowls for you. I will also let you try the specialties that Zhenping brought from southern Yunnan."
"No hurry, no hurry. Let's talk about business first. Sit down."
Lu Debang said so, so Shen Meng had to put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands. She took the information handed to her by Director Guo and looked at it carefully.
"These are the workers who have just joined the factory. They are making the most basic styles. The more complicated ones are made by our people who have already mastered the craft. The heavy-duty headbands are made by our skilled workers and team leaders. Now everyone is working overtime to catch up. The next few pictures are the types and quantities of headbands that have passed the inspection. At this rate, we will be able to complete the orders before the end of the month."
"Yes, the new factory building has been built, and we don't have to gather in the yard to work anymore."
"Everything is stable at the moment, we just wait for the goods to be delivered after the order is completed!"
Shen Meng took a look and put the information on the table. She nodded. It is said that people born in the 1970s are the most hard-working generation. Their mobility is amazing.
"Very good, thank you all for your hard work during this period. I have a question that I would like to raise, and a few leaders would like to discuss it first. I will go and boil some rice noodles for you. You will be able to eat soon. It's time to order. You can't skip a meal. Man is iron and rice is steel. You will feel hungry if you don't eat for a meal."
"What?"
Shen Meng picked up the bowl and chopsticks on the table again.
"It's like this. The official document for our factory construction will be issued in two days. I think we have to install power lines. Our orders will only get bigger and bigger in the future. Although the current factory has been expanded, if we don't install power lines, if customers suddenly increase orders in the future, we won't be able to make it in time just by working during the day."
When the leaders heard that they had to install power lines, their brows were furrowed so much that they could pinch flies to death. For so many years, the commune has only installed one power line. They were given one because the harvest in Lujia Village was good in recent years. They never used it unless there was a major incident. It cost several cents per kilowatt-hour. Who could afford it?
If a factory installed power lines, it would have to buy light bulbs. Is it really necessary to install power lines just to do needlework?
Shen Meng took the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen, reheated the stove, and started to boil the rice noodles.
Everything was ready. Three large sand basins were filled with side dishes and seasonings. A bowl of hot soup was poured over them, and the boiled rice noodles were put into the sand basins. Onions and coriander were added, and the rice noodles were ready.
She brought the 30,000 rice noodles to the main room, and also brought the vinegar and chili oil on the stove to the main room.
"Add some chili and vinegar if you can eat it, and think about it while you eat. There is no rush. If you think it's okay, mention it to Director Feng and see what he says. You can put this matter in your mind for now. After the first batch of goods is delivered and John pays the balance, you can bring up this matter again. It will be more convincing."
"Not bad, not bad. What we have now is only the down payment. We can bring it up after we get the final payment at the end of the month. I think what Xiao Meng said makes sense. Once the news of Chuangwaihui gets out and is published in the newspapers, I don't know how many companies will scramble for our first batch!"
Director Guo took a mouthful of rice noodles with chopsticks. No matter what was mentioned, she was very supportive. After all, it was for the good of the factory and the village. Wow, are these rice noodles so delicious?
Lu Debang and Zhang Hongfa also nodded frequently. The smell was so delicious. How could they have time to think about factories? The most important thing in the world is eating!
