Two nights later, Deputy Factory Manager Li personally led the team to complete the transaction with Batu.
There were a total of 4,000 pounds of pork, 2,000 pounds of beef, and 1,000 pounds of mutton. According to the black market price, each pound of meat was about 1.5 yuan.
After the transaction was completed, Yang Chen received 10500 yuan.
The next morning after this batch of meat was brought back to the rolling mill, the high-spirited Deputy Factory Manager Li found Silly Zhu and took out 3000 catties at once. Finally, he let Silly Zhu and the other canteen employees show their skills.
On this day, the 8,000 employees of the rolling mill were in an uproar.
During lunch, almost everyone took out their money and ordered a delicious meat dish.
If it wasn't for the rule that each person could only get one portion, even doubling the amount wouldn't be enough, let alone 3,000 pounds of meat.
After getting the meat dishes, many people only ate one or two mouthfuls. It wasn't that they didn't want to eat, but they wanted to take them home to eat.
Simple, kind, and thrifty, these were the most precious virtues of this era.
This was also one of the reasons why Yang Chen took out meat to trade with the rolling mill, just to let the employees open the meat from time to time.
The remaining meat was marinated into bacon by Shazhu and the other canteen staff, and then stir-fried with vegetables every other day.
In this way, the workers would have a lot of money in their stomachs, and their enthusiasm for work would naturally increase. Their work efficiency would also increase, and the production of the rolling mill would also increase.
That morning, Yang Chen took the initiative to find Tang Dashan.
During this period of time, the First Transportation Brigade, led by Tang Dashan, had been running around in almost every province.
Even when they returned to the rolling mill, everyone stayed at home to recuperate.
Therefore, Tang Dashan did not have enough time and energy to teach Yang Chen how to drive.
What Tang Dashan didn't know was that although he wasn't there, Yang Chen had already mastered the driving skills and the repair skills.
"Captain, are you busy?"
"Xiao Chen, sit…I'm sorry. I have a lot of work to do and I can't find the time to teach you.”
"Captain, is there another mission? Are you going to lead a team out of the country?”
"Every summer, the convoy's tasks are particularly heavy. This is something that can't be helped. However, Xiaochen, when winter comes, we will be free…"
In the rolling mill, the hardest and most tiring job was burning the boiler.
Although the transportation team was tired, they had extra subsidies during the journey.
It could be said that after a month of running, almost every driver could get double the salary.
In addition, he could also take on some private work while he was out.
This was also the tacit agreement of the factory leaders.
"Captain, I've been so free recently. I've been going to work and going home almost every day. If I were in my fifties or sixties, I would be free, but the problem is that I can't stay idle at all now…"
Huh? How about this, I have a mission tomorrow. It will take three days one way and a week to go back and forth. The destination is Lu Province. If you are willing to follow me, I can give you a ride.”
"That's good. After
settling Tang Dashan, Yang Chen went to find Deputy Factory Manager Li and Factory Manager Yang to explain his thoughts. After repeatedly promising that they would take care of him, the two did not make things difficult for Yang Chen.
Not to mention Yang Chen's excellent performance since he joined the company, just this time, acting as a middleman to contact the rolling mill to establish a stable meat channel was enough to prove: "Yang Chen is very reassuring."
After work, Yang Chen accompanied Silly Zhu to Xu Honest's processing restaurant.
Silly Zhu had been working for two days. On the first day, he earned 2.5 yuan, and on the second day, he earned 3 yuan.
Not only was the average salary higher than the rolling mill, but the working hours would not exceed three hours.
"Brother Zhu Zi, other newlyweds want to stick together all day long, but you go out early and return late every day. Don't you miss your wife at all?”
"Who says I don't want to? But Wenwen has her own opinions on everything, so even if I go home now, your Sister Wen won't let me touch her.”
Although he was complaining, his eyes were filled with happiness and warmth.
From this, it could be seen that Feng Wenwen was not only good at managing the family, but also good at controlling her husband.
"Brother Zhu Zi, how does Uncle Xu feel?”
"Very good. Uncle Xu is proficient in all kinds of cuisines. Not only is his cooking superb, but he is also tactful. There is almost an endless stream of people looking for him to cook
..."
"It went very well. It feels better than being in the steel mill. It's not that I earn a lot every day, but there's no restrictions here. The customers bring all kinds of ingredients, so it's just right for me to show off what I've learned.”
As a chef, Silly Zhu was still lacking.
In the past, due to the lack of ingredients, Silly Zhu could not cook many dishes. As a result, his culinary skills had been stagnant.
Now, the ingredients were basically satisfied, and Silly Pillar's cooking skills were improving day by day.
Arriving at the processing restaurant, Yang Chen handed over the hairy crabs he had brought to Silly Zhu.
After waiting for Silly Zhu to finish, Yang Chen used the lunch box to leave.
When Yang Chen returned to the courtyard house, it happened that Qin Huiru went to find Feng Wenwen.
"Xiao Wen, I really can't make a living at home. They haven't even had anything dry these past few days. Can't you lend me 10 yuan?”
"Sister Qin, to be honest, the expenses for my marriage with Zhu Zi were all borrowed. Now, our family still owes a fart. What about the debt? In order to pay off his debts, Zhu Zi has to go out to do odd jobs every day after work…How about this, we can still give you five catties of cornmeal at home. You can take it back and make some dry food for the children.”
Qin Huairu's family was short of food, but she wanted to borrow money more.
Because she enjoyed using this method to continue tricking Silly Zhu.
To put it bluntly, once Feng Wenwen lent the money to Qin Huairu, the money would go down the drain.
"Xiao Wen, the school has already urged them several times, but they still can't pay the tuition fees. You should pity Sister Qin…"
Feng Wenwen, who was at the door, took the initiative to stand aside when she heard this.
"Sister Qin, if you don't believe me, you can go in and search. You can have as much money as you can find.”
On the surface, there seemed to be no one in the middle court, but in fact, many people were focused on silently watching.
"Then, I'll take five catties of cornmeal first.”
The main point was that Qin Huairu did not say she was borrowing, but taking.
Feng Wenwen didn't hesitate and decisively went to the room to get five catties of cornflour for Qin Huiru.
"Sister Qin, there are still two weeks until the end of the month. When you go back, make sure that the children have enough to eat. "As long as we get through this month, when your mother-in-law gets her salary next month, your family will definitely get better…" It
was indeed different to have ink in one's stomach. At least, no one could find any fault with Feng Wenwen's words.
In other words, Feng Wenwen hinted to Qin Huairu, saying,""I can lend you food this month, but I won't do it in the future because your family is getting double wages.”
