Chapter 431 Can be worth one
The train freight car is 15 meters long, 2.8 meters wide, and 2.8 meters high, and can carry 60 tons of cargo.
They have half an hour to unload the cargo from the carriage.
The little girl still drew the number strip solemnly.
Fortunately, the train started from Kyoto, so there were not too many letters and parcels that needed to be unloaded in Tianshi, but they were evenly spread out.
There were more than ninety full big sacks, and each one was extremely heavy!
"Hello, I am Zhang Hongliang from Tianshi Post Office. I have been working in this position for nine years and was awarded Tianshi Model Worker."
An Zhixia's family clapped their hands in admiration.
Comrades who can achieve success in every ordinary position are very powerful and deserve the admiration of everyone. They silently dedicate themselves with their passion for patriotism, the collective and their profession, as well as their perseverance.
Zhang Hongliang smiled naively and said briefly the task requirements, "The train stops for a very short time, and our colleagues have to complete the loading and unloading in the shortest possible time.
And during this process, we must handle things with care, as many items cannot withstand being dropped or dragged.
There are a lot of letters across the country. When we transport a letter or a package, it has to pass through the hands of many colleagues and be sorted over and over again. In order to prevent errors, sometimes a procedure has to be checked twice.
The procedures are complicated and there are many letters and parcels, so the transportation of goods is a bit slower. I hope that people can understand the work of our colleagues in the post office through our meaningful "Speedy Xiahua" program.
We will work harder and improve efficiency little by little..."
He had memorized this passage many times. It took two minutes for An Zhixia to unload the goods with the five children. Each sack was very heavy, and she and Fang Lixi had to use all their strength to transport the sacks to the cart.
Fang Songyan, Fang Gexin, and their younger brother and sister, accompanied by a cameraman and an assistant, pushed a cart loaded with six sacks to a truck parked outside the station.
At this time, the disadvantage of not having strong laborers became apparent. A few slightly spoiled girls couldn't help but start talking about their fathers who went to Country E to mine.
"If dad were here, he could carry two large sacks in each hand and quickly load them onto the truck," Fang Qingyun sighed and said like an adult.
"I think my dad can handle another one," Fang Junzhuo said with admiration when talking about his own father.
"Little fools, our dad can use the car to pull it back and forth. It guarantees that the task will be completed in ten minutes or so," Fang Gexin said with a smile. Halfway through the journey, the little girl suddenly saw a few muscular men walking around looking for work.
She rolled her eyes and asked the cameraman, "Uncle, what do those uncles in blue coats do?"
The cameraman looked in the direction of her hand and replied with a smile, "Those comrades are looking for odd jobs. In the old society, they were called porters. As long as you pay them, they can help carry your luggage.
However, you don’t have any money or tickets, or any valuables that can be exchanged for money, right?”
Fang Gexin pursed her lips and smiled without saying anything. After the four siblings delivered a wave of goods, they walked over to a sturdy man, took out a sandwich that they hadn't eaten in the morning from their backpack, and asked with a smile: "Hello, uncle, we don't have any money, but I have a sandwich. I wonder if you can take our job?
The sandwich has ham and eggs in it, and it costs thirty cents to buy it normally. I have five of these sandwiches, can they be worth a dollar's worth of work?"
The man took a look at the golden sandwich and the filling inside. The shop hadn't opened yet today, and his stomach was empty. Now he smelled the faint aroma of eggs and felt hungry. Thinking of the children, women and the elderly at home, he nodded without thinking.
"Sure. I wonder what kind of work you have?" In addition to helping carry luggage, porters sometimes also do odd jobs.
An ordinary worker only earns more than 30 yuan a month, and one yuan is enough for a family's food and drink.
Fang Gexin simply explained the task, "Uncle, I wonder how much you can do for us for one dollar?"
The man looked at the unfamiliar camera, somewhat at a loss, "Why is there a video recorder?"
"We are recording 'Extreme Summer', you can see it in the edited program. Our program restores the various aspects of life in major cities, and the theme of this season is the glory of labor." Fang Gexin's little mouth is very smooth, and she spoke it out in a babble.
"Can I be on the show, too?" The man blushed with excitement, his whole body full of ambition, "If I really appear on TV, I won't need any sandwiches..."
"That won't work. Everyone's work is not easy. We have to follow the rules when recording the show. How can we take advantage of you?" Fang Songyan said with a smile.
The man struggled for a moment, "Okay, I'll help you unload the goods and then put them on the truck. One dollar is enough for me to stay at the station for a whole day, and I can finish the work in half an hour. I'm still taking advantage of you."
As he spoke, he strode towards the truck. Even such heavy sacks, he just put a little effort into carrying them on his shoulders and put them onto the cart. The six members of the Fang family were so amazed that they kept praising him.
Even the photographers and assistants couldn't help but agree.
Fang Lixi and An Zhixia were responsible for moving the cart full of sacks to the truck. They were too weak to do anything but put the sacks on the ground, which was difficult to lift and put into the truck bed.
By the time they came back, the man had already unloaded half of the truck!
It only took them twenty minutes to complete all the tasks.
In the morning, only Fang Lixi ate two sandwiches, and the others only ate one, so they took out the packaged sandwiches as a reward for the man.
After thanking the man, they got the next task card.
They need to ride the bicycles provided by the program to the newly opened Goubuli Steamed Bun Shop two kilometers away to learn how to make steamed buns. Each person needs to sell 100 steamed buns to earn a basket of six steamed buns and a bowl of rice porridge for lunch.
The six people in the family got three bicycles. An Zhixia took the two children, Fang Lixi took Fang Gexin, and Fang Songyan rode one by himself.
How to allocate staff is not something they need to consider.
Although this steamed bun shop has just opened, it is located between the train station and the bus station, so the customer flow is guaranteed, and this area has become a food street.
However, there are five restaurants selling Goubuli steamed buns alone, not to mention other delicacies. With such a diversion, the number of customers entering the restaurant to eat seems to be less.
Especially since the shop where they were going to work was not on the main road.
