This year's situation was much better than the past three years. In the first two years, even the worst loose wine was often not available.
It was much better now. Basically, alcohol could be bought as long as one had a ticket.
The supply of food tickets had also increased. The ratio of rice and flour had increased to 40%, and the ration had increased by half a catty per person.
It looked good, but there was still too little non-staple food. Everyone had no money in their stomachs and was far from enough to eat.
After chatting with Yan Jiecheng and the others, Xu Damao returned home.
Dinner was easy. A bowl of Zhajiang noodles would do.
He was stewing two pork knuckles in his space, not intending to let anyone see it.
These days, even the leaders could not eat and drink extravagantly every day. For example, the factory director and the others only ate a sumptuous meal every few days.
Anyway, the soy sauce in bulk did not need a ticket, so he put it into the pot with all his might.
It was just that he could only buy three catties at a time. It was simple. He just had to ask Liu Guangfu to queue a few more times.
There was a limited number of times the soy sauce could be used. Since the student had a lot of time anyway, he could easily settle the matter by promising him two pig tails.
After the pork knuckle was stewed and a bowl of fried bean paste noodles was served, Xu Damao closed the door and went into the space to eat before coming out.
After eating, they had to prepare for work.
At night, he would prepare the pork from the rolling mill and the national cotton mill and go to work safely during the day.
Public Relations Department.
Xu Damao sat in his seat. His days were very free now.
As long as he didn't take the initiative to say that he needed something to do, the department director basically wouldn't assign him any trivial tasks.
For example, he didn't have to worry about writing a script or slogans.
"Cough cough!"
"Everyone, please pay attention. Today, we have a new colleague in our department. Her name is Yu Haitang. She will be joining our publicity department as an intern broadcaster today.”
The Director of the Public Relations Department was not very concerned about introducing the new colleagues to everyone.
The factory manager had seen Xu Damao more times than he had seen the director.
Once the leader didn't take it seriously, he would have no authority.
"Comrade Xiao Yu, introduce yourself to everyone.”
The director of the publicity department said a few perfunctory words and prepared to quickly end this matter.
If it weren't for the fact that the girl's appearance was not bad, and the announcer in the factory was old, he wouldn't have been willing to recruit another person.
Even though she was just an intern, she had to run quite a few times for this internship quota.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Yu Haitang. I'm 18 years old this year and have just graduated from high school.”
The girl's voice was sonorous and powerful as she introduced herself to everyone generously.
"Ahem, let's get to know each other later. Xiao Yu, that's your seat.”
The director of the publicity department casually pointed to a table in the corner, turned around, and left.
Interns either learned their own skills or sought guidance from their masters.
In other words, he wanted to curry favor with some old masters and let them pass on their experience.
There was no need to go through so much trouble to be a broadcaster. He was just recruiting people to take over, so he just had to learn from them.
Moreover, the broadcaster had another office, which was the broadcasting studio. Yu Haitang only came to get to know everyone. Usually, she would stay in the broadcasting studio and learn from the old broadcaster.
At noon, during lunch in the cafeteria.
Xu Damao came to the cafeteria and saw Yu Haitang getting food in front of the window.
"Hey, Haitang, what are you going to eat for lunch?”
Without needing Xu Damao to speak, the workers in the queue took the initiative to give him a spot.
Because he could bring pork to everyone, the workers treated him like a father.
Now, whoever dared to go against Xu Damao in the rolling mill would definitely be beaten up by someone when they went out at night.
"Brother Xu, I'm still watching."
Yu Haitang was smart. In the morning, she had figured out all the personnel in the publicity department.
Knowing that Xu Damao was a popular person in front of the factory manager, he directly addressed him as brother.
"Haitang, today is your first time at our factory. This meal is on me.”
"Two servings of braised pork, four steamed buns, potatoes, and cabbage.”
Xu Damao handed the meal ticket and money to He Yuzhu. When this guy heard that there was a new beauty outside, he quickly ran out to take a look.
He even squeezed out the people who were originally getting food. When he saw Yu Haitang, his eyes widened.
"Thank you, Brother Xu."
Yu Haitang was pleasantly surprised. She had hesitated for a long time just now, but she was still reluctant to buy meat and vegetables.
Although she didn't need a hostage and the price was worth it, she still couldn't make up her mind to buy it.
She was a girl. She would rather eat less than buy more beautiful clothes for herself.
"Haitang, we're not friends. You don't have to be polite with me in the future.”
Xu Damao put down his lunch box and asked He Yuzhu to serve him some food.
At the cafeteria window.
When He Yuzhu saw this scene, he was extremely depressed. If Xu Damao pursued Haitang, then he definitely had no chance.
Riding a Phoenix bicycle and wearing a semi-steel watch on his hand, Xu Damao was the person that the female workers in the factory talked about the most.
"Alright, alright, let's hurry up and leave!"
He Yuzhu said angrily after scooping up the food.
He noticed that the way Yu Haitang looked at Xu Damao had changed.
He was young, rich, and appreciated by the leaders.
Especially now that the price of a bicycle had risen to 650 yuan, it was incomparable.
If it was the original 158, He Yuzhu would have worked hard and taken on more private jobs. The chances were quite high.
But 650 yuan? He Yuzhu could only dream about it.
On the other side, Yu Haitang and Xu Damao found an empty seat and sat down.
The workers tactfully moved aside. Everyone was counting on Xu Damao to continue getting pork.
Even if Xu Damao asked them to teach a few people a lesson at night, it would be a simple matter.
"Brother Xu, why didn't you buy two servings of potatoes? Cabbage is much cheaper than potatoes.”
Seeing the cabbage in Xu Damao's lunch box, Yu Haitang was puzzled.
This was also the reason why everyone bought more potatoes. Cabbage was cheaper than potatoes, so everyone usually chose potatoes.
"I've been eating too much meat recently. Didn't the books say that I have to maintain a balanced diet? This is called replenishing vitamins.”
It should be in the book. Xu Damao thought about it and didn't care.
As he spoke, the sharp-eyed Yu Haitang noticed the watch on his wrist.
"Brother Xu, is that a semi-steel watch? This is the first time I've seen it.”
Yu Haitang was shocked. A half-steel watch now cost 160 yuan.
160 yuan. Her monthly salary for her first year of internship was only 18 yuan.
"I was lucky. I bought it before the price went up and spent 60 yuan.”
Xu Damao explained patiently. He couldn't reveal too much money.
All men had small vaults, not to mention that he had a big one. He could not let Haitang know too much.
