082: Complete the task and get reward
While Lin Maosheng was hesitating, the three grilled fish had already been snatched away by others.
Cui Yuejin and Ge Feng, who had just finished their meal, also grabbed one and shared it, half each.
The other two were snatched away by several other educated youth in the same dormitory, put in their lunch boxes, and eaten with the others.
Only Lin Maosheng looked left and right, feeling extremely greedy. Fortunately, there were still a few cornmeal pancakes in the lunch box, and he grabbed all of them.
Everyone was eating the grilled fish, and exclaimed:
"Hmm! Why does this grilled fish smell so good?"
"Yeah, how did you roast it? It smells so good! It tastes even better than meat!"
When the people around heard these people exaggerating, they all turned around and said in disbelief:
"How delicious can it be? Can it be better than meat?"
"If you don't believe me, come and try it."
Someone pinched a small piece of grilled fish with his hands, and saw that under the black appearance, the fish meat inside was white. When he put it in his mouth, it was really fragrant and tender, and really delicious.
Now, everyone in the cafeteria knew that Yu Xiaoye’s grilled fish was delicious.
————
On the other side, at Yu Xiaoye’s home.
Yu Xiaoye did not come out to get food today because she made grilled fish today. She had a good reason not to go out to get food and just stay at home to eat grilled fish.
But in fact, the family had already sneaked back into the yacht to enjoy their lobster set meal!
The family of three happily hid in the yacht and began to cook the big lobster.
Yu Xiaoye also told her parents about her meeting Sai Jinhua and how, inspired by Sai Jinhua, she wanted to use grilled fish to exchange supplies with the company members. She also asked for their opinions to see what they said.
Judging from what Yu Xiaoye described in the original book, there should be no risk.
Although speculation and profiteering were cracked down on in those days and free trade was not allowed, company members were allowed to take their own supplies to the farm headquarters' sales outlets to exchange for some things.
For example, they would collect the eggs laid by their own chickens and take them to sales outlets to exchange for daily necessities such as salt or lamp oil.
Or you can exchange mushrooms, hazelnuts, pecans and other things you picked in the mountains.
Since they can exchange things openly at the sales outlets, then it is also possible for them to exchange grilled fish for some supplies in the company, right?
There is an essential difference between exchanging things and selling things.
As long as there is no money transaction involved, it is not considered speculation.
Moreover, it's just a small amount of money. Don't expand this business or make it too blatant. It shouldn't violate the above regulations.
Moreover, they were just doing it temporarily. Once they had gotten through the difficult period of being penniless and their family conditions improved, they would no longer need to grill fish to exchange for things.
The family discussed it and decided that it was feasible to exchange the grilled fish in the ocean space for some supplies.
The discussion here was almost over when Xu Ying suddenly heard some movement outside. He stood there motionless, listening intently:
"Why do I hear voices outside?"
Yu Jiahui was so scared that he almost dropped the spatula in his hand, thinking that Xu Ying was talking about other people on the yacht.
Yu Xiaoye: "Oh no! Someone might have come to our house. Come on, let's go back first!"
After saying that, Yu Xiaoye pulled his parents back from the yacht to the dim little mud house.
Then she heard Jia Song calling her outside the courtyard, his voice filled with anger:
"Yu Xiaoye, Yu Xiaoye——"
It’s over, it’s over. I guess she just pissed off that rich girl in the office, and now Jia Song is here to cause trouble for her!
Yu Xiaoye didn't have time to run out of the house and responded loudly:
“Here it comes!”
He trotted across the yard and came to the gate.
Fortunately, the fence was repaired, otherwise when Jia Song came to find her, he would have directly broken into the main room and would not have seen anyone at home, which would have probably exposed him.
Yu Jiahui and Xu Ying heard in Jia Song's tone that he was here to cause trouble, so they ran out after their daughter.
Yu Xiaoye untied the hemp rope on the door bolt and asked hurriedly:
"What happened to Director Jia?"
Jia Song's expression was serious, staring straight at Yu Xiaoye's panting face:
"Yu Xiaoye, I have a task for you."
"What mission!"
"That Wu Yanping has quit. If nothing unexpected happens, all five of us will quit. So, we're missing three shows. She wants me to apologize before she's willing to come back to perform. I apologized like a piece of shit. I won't apologize. So, I have an order for you now. Please arrange three more shows for me, okay?"
"ha?!"
"Don't give it to me, Yu Xiaoye. This is all because of you. You must take responsibility for it. Prepare three more programs. I give you the right to select suitable people from the company and conduct part-time rehearsals. We must make a quick decision. May Day is in five days. Arrange all the programs for me within five days!"
Yu Xiaoye: Holy crap!!
Yu Jiahui looked at his confused daughter with distressed eyes:
"Well, Secretary Jia, this is a bit unreasonable. There are only five days left, and there are so many programs to prepare. She is just a child—"
Jia Song ignored Yu Jiahui and continued to say to Yu Xiaoye:
"If you complete the mission successfully, I will ask the captain for a reward for you."
When Yu Xiaoye heard about the reward, his eyes suddenly brightened:
"What reward?"
“——”
Jia Song looked as if he hadn't thought of anything yet. It seemed that this was a sudden idea. However, as the company's propaganda officer and the captain's right-hand man, Jia Song should have this right.
Moreover, Yu Xiaoye believed that Jia Song would do what he said and would not lie to her.
Yu Xiaoye didn't give Jia Song any time to react and quickly started to put forward conditions:
"Well, if there really is a reward, can you give me some cloth coupons? I want some to make clothes."
Jia Song hesitated for a moment and replied:
"How about this, the company will distribute spring and autumn work clothes and a pair of cotton gloves in a while. Originally, your family of three didn't have any, but if you can complete the task, I can make an exception and give each of you three a set of work clothes."
Everyone has a work uniform!
Yu Jiahui, Xu Ying, and Yu Xiaoye's eyes were all wide open. .i.
This is the next step, much better than giving cloth coupons.
Even if they were given cloth coupons, they still had to spend money to buy the cloth, and after buying the cloth, they had to cut and sew it themselves.
But if you directly send out three sets of work clothes, you can skip the middle step and get it done in one step.
The only drawback is that the work clothes are of the same style, regardless of gender, so there is no variety. If the entire company wears the same clothes, it will be too monotonous and boring.
However, they don’t have so many requirements at the moment. As long as they can have new clothes to wear, who cares about the color and style.
No matter how monotonous or boring it is, it is still a decent new piece of clothing. Isn't it much better than the tattered old cotton-padded jacket they are wearing?
