A group of people happily went to buy soda. Children just like to have snacks and drinks. They are thinking about soda even in the cold weather and are not afraid of getting diarrhea if drinking too cold soda.
Wang Xiaolan and her friends didn't come back until five o'clock, bringing back two large pieces of tofu. They were quite happy and talked to everyone about how they made tofu and helped sell it.
In fact, this is a welfare provided by the street office to residents. Not only is there no profit in tofu, but the price is determined by the quantity and price of soybeans, which is averaged to the weight of the tofu, and the labor cost is also included.
But the sub-district office maintains the order of life for the residents by doing this kind of work. Like those match factories, there is no profit at all! But even if it is not profitable, the sub-district office still needs to open these small workshop-like factories because too many people need these manual labors to make a living.
Unlike later generations, there are plenty of jobs and you can easily find a job to support yourself and your family.
I made a pot of salted fish, cabbage and tofu stew tonight. It tasted really good and everyone enjoyed it. Salted fish is a sea fish and has no bones. The salty and fishy taste is also a little sweet, which blends well with the cabbage and tofu.
Sometimes delicious dishes are like this, a pot of mixed stew is particularly delicious. This dish has also entered the Ye family's recipe. Wang Xiaolan also said that when Xiaomei comes over, she will stew it like this for her to try. Although the appearance of this dish is ordinary, she will definitely like the taste.
However, most people can't get this thing. It is called salted fish, but it is actually dried fish. It is not like traditional salted fish. You don't need to add salt when putting it in some dishes.
People living by the sea are definitely better at eating sea fish than them. Although Li Daqi cursed Wang Fugui at that time, he still prepared some good dried fish for Ye Zhiqiu to bring back.
I wonder if he would scold him for being a cunning fool after he learned that Wang Fugui was gone, for digging a trap first and then tricking his old friend again...
After the meal, everyone listened to the radio and chatted. They basically went to work the next day. In fact, many factories were open during the New Year holidays.
Because this time was completely different from later generations. There was no such thing as annual leave. Staying at your post for 365 days was the loud slogan of this era!
Ye Tianya asked, "Boss, you said the factory arranged for you to go on a business trip. When will it be?"
Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and replied, "We can't confirm the time yet. After all, this is a joint convoy of two factories. We need to negotiate all the issues before we can set off with the supplies. This time, our factory doesn't have any supplies to speak of. The Second Textile Factory is the one that provides the cloth, so how much compensation our factory should give them is something we can negotiate."
Qian Dafu smiled and said, "It's not that difficult. Our factory workers also like beer! It's just a matter of how much beer you give us and how much cloth we produce. The most troublesome thing is probably the ratio of food we get in return! After all, our Second Textile Factory has more than 2,000 employees, while your brewery has less than 2,000."
At this time, Wang Xiaolan interrupted and said, "I heard from others today that the steel mill has already set off, but they are not going to Sui County as you mentioned, but to Jiangxi. Jiangxi is a very far place, and I don't know how to drive back."
Ye Zhiqiu explained, "Oh, Mom, you're mistaken. I heard from Aunt Chen that they've already negotiated with the steel mill. We'll directly transport the steel they need by train to Xiangtang, and they'll transfer the grain to the local area and load it onto the train. The steel mill is a key unit, and there's direct coordination between the leaders of both sides. Our brewery can't compare."
Key units are already given special treatment, and this kind of treatment is really not something a brewery can get.
Moreover, steel mills employ the most heavy manual laborers, so if there is not enough food supply, there will be big problems.
So everyone was extremely envious, talking about the benefits of key units, and also mentioned that Chen Yuqing was going to give up her job in a key unit, and everyone felt it was a pity.
Ye Zhiqiu didn't know what Wang Xiaolan had discussed with her that had gotten Aunt Chen to agree to move in so easily, so he asked curiously, "Mom, what did you talk to Aunt Chen about? Why did she suddenly agree to move in?"
Wang Xiaolan curled her lips and said, "Children, don't butt in on adult matters. Why are you so curious?"
Ye Zhiqiu was speechless. At this time, he was already a child! Why didn't he tell Feng Xiaomei that he was still a 240-month-old baby when he was induced to give birth?
She doesn't want to talk, and there's really nothing we can do about her!
It was not until nine o'clock that Qian Dafu and the others went back to rest.
Ye Zhiqiu also ran back to the room, set the alarm clock, turned off the lights, got into bed and went to sleep.
The next morning at seven o'clock, the alarm clock rang on time. After washing up, the three of them had breakfast. As for the second and third children, there was no way they could get up so early. In this cold weather, they would not get out of bed unless they felt hungry.
After breakfast, Ye Zhiqiu put on his warm gear and gloves and set off. Ye Tianya and the other two walked together; walking was actually more suitable in this weather. At least when Ye Zhiqiu suggested taking Aunt Liu with him, she shook her head rapidly, saying that it would take her half a day to recover from a bike ride to the factory, and she refused to ride his bike at all.
There's nothing you can do about it. Riding a bicycle without wind will make it windy, and if there's a cold wind it will be even worse!
However, they also planned to buy bicycles to make it easier for the couple to commute to get off work. Ye Zhiqiu gave them the bicycle tickets and only charged them fifty yuan. They planned to wait until spring when it was not so cold before buying them, because after all, they would not ride to work even if they bought them now.
"Good morning, Captain Ye!"
"Hey, good morning! Lao Li, have Director Chen and Director Wu arrived yet?"
"Director Wu is here, Secretary Liao is here too, but Director Chen isn't."
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to talk to the leader first."
After Ye Zhiqiu parked his bike, he headed towards the logistics department. When he arrived, not many people were there yet. He went to Wu Shengli's office and knocked on the door. It took a while before he heard the response of "Come in."
As soon as he walked in, Wu Shengli was still rubbing his eyes. He probably came here early to catch up on his sleep on the table.
He smiled and said, "You little brat, you come here so early to disturb my sweet sleep. What's the matter that's so urgent?"
Ye Zhiqiu quickly handed him a cigarette. After they both lit it up, Ye Zhiqiu whispered what he had heard.
Wu Shengli was stunned, and after a while he asked, "Is this a joke?"
Ye Zhiqiu said helplessly, "Old leader, I'm not bored, do I need to come and tease you so early in the morning? My elder is on a different level. Just because I cooked too much food for them, he scolded me for a long time.
Then I found out about this, and I came to remind you as soon as I got to work! After all, this matter can be big or small, so we still have to pay attention to it!"
