In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed.
On this day, the rolling mill suddenly became lively.
"Comrades of the Red Star Rolling Mill, I am Yang Dayan. I am reporting a major event. All staff in the factory, except those who cannot leave their important posts, please come to the field for a general meeting.”
Factory Manager Yang shouted directly on the radio that he wanted to hold a factory meeting.
The workers of the rolling mill were discussing animatedly, not knowing what had happened.
All of a sudden, there was no news at all.
"Hey, what do you guys think is going on with this Factory Manager Yang suddenly holding a factory meeting?”
"If you ask me, who should I ask?"
"Could it be that someone in the factory has been found out again?”
"I don't think that's possible. If they were to be found out, the security department would have known about it long ago, and we would have known about it too.”
The confused crowd rushed to the field.
After almost everyone had arrived, Manager Yang announced the reason.
"Comrades, last year, our rolling mill produced ten more tons of steel because it exceeded the mission of the higher-ups.”
"Therefore, the higher-ups specially rewarded ten pigs. As a reward, all the comrades in the rolling mill can get pork.”
"Everyone, go to the canteen and line up later. Everyone will get a meal voucher. Tomorrow, all of us will eat pork together.”
Manager Yang shouted the good news.
When the news came out, everyone was silent for a moment, unable to believe it.
Immediately after, a huge wave of cheers erupted.
Resources were scarce these days. Even if one had money, they would need a meat ticket to buy meat.
Moreover, everyone's annual meat intake was limited to less than one catty.
Those from ordinary families would only be able to eat a few mouthfuls during the holidays.
As for those who were in a more difficult situation, they would not be able to eat any meat all year round.
There were ten more pigs in the factory all of a sudden. Everyone could get a meal voucher to eat meat. Naturally, it was good news.
One had to know that this was free meat.
One pig was estimated to weigh about 200 pounds, and ten pigs would weigh about 2,000 pounds.
Although there were tens of thousands of workers in the rolling mill, everyone could still get two taels of meat.
For a moment, the entire rolling mill was immersed in joyful cheers.
Not long after, Manager Yang gathered at the door with a group of factory leaders. Everyone had a big red flower on their chest.
The entrance of the factory was decorated with lanterns and streamers. A group of workers who had been arranged in advance held banners and pasted welcoming slogans.
They were ready to welcome the arrival of their ten-headed second senior brother.
This was more than 2,000 catties of pork. Even the rolling mill had never had so much pork during the New Year.
The leaders of the factory naturally attached great importance to it.
Not long after, a few military trucks arrived at the entrance of the rolling mill.
Factory Manager Yang quickly ordered people to set off firecrackers.
After the crackling of firecrackers, ten large iron cages were carried down.
Looking at the restless Second Brother, the workers 'eyes were shining.
Soon, these ten fat pigs were sent to the warehouse of the rolling mill, ready to be slaughtered.
Manager Yang found the canteen director and asked him to arrange for people to kill the pigs early tomorrow morning so that all the workers could have a good meal.
"Factory Manager Yang, to be honest, there are indeed people who can cook in our canteen, but there are no people who can kill pigs.”
The canteen director looked troubled.
The cook in the rolling mill was good at cooking. After all, it was not difficult to cook in a big pot.
However, killing pigs was not the job of a chef.
Slaughtering pigs was also a skill. It was usually done by the butcher in the slaughterhouse.
"There are so many chefs in the canteen, but none of them know how to kill pigs?”
Manager Yang frowned when he heard that.
The canteen director shook his head.
There were more than ten cooks in the canteen of the rolling mill, but none of them knew how to kill pigs.
This time, even Factory Manager Yang had a headache.
He had already said that the whole factory would eat pork together tomorrow. He could not go back on his word.
......
At noon, all the workers received their meal coupons in the canteen. Each person only had one.
One meal voucher could get one serving of pork.
Of course, if anyone didn't want to eat pork, they could also give the meal voucher to others.
But no one would be so stupid.
After receiving the meal coupons, the workers had lunch and gathered together to discuss. They began to imagine what good dishes the factory would cook tomorrow.
"Guo Dapeizi, please be kind and give me your meal voucher this time. I'll give you my meal voucher next time.”
In the workshop, Qin Huiru found Guo Dapizi.
She kept throwing flirtatious glances at him, trying to get the meal ticket from Guo Dapizi.
"Qin Huairu, don't give me that. The rest is fine, but don't even think about getting a meal voucher. Who knows when you'll get another one?”
Guo Dapue flung Qin Huiru away mercilessly.
Such a good thing had never happened to the rolling mill in a year.
Even if he wanted to take advantage of Qin Huairu, he couldn't bear to give her a meal voucher.
Qin Huairu gritted her teeth and stomped her feet. She could only hate him.
......
In the factory manager's office, Factory Manager Yang had gathered all the factory leaders for a meeting.
"There's no butcher in the canteen now. The workers are all waiting to eat pork. What do you think we should do?”
Manager Yang tapped his fingers on the table and asked.
"There's no one in the canteen who knows how to kill pigs?”
"No…"
"Why don't we go to the slaughterhouse and ask a few masters to help?”
"You make it sound nice. If you invite someone over, who would be willing to come if you don't pay and give benefits?”
"We've already distributed the meal coupons. Everyone has two taels of pork. If we invite outsiders to kill the pig, won't we have to give a lot of it to the butcher? If the workers were dissatisfied, how would they explain it?”
In the meeting room, the discussion was endless.
There had always been a rule for killing pigs. The butcher could take some pork as payment.
Especially for the ten pigs, they had to work for a long time. They probably had to pay a hundred catties of pork before they were willing to do this job.
There was only so much pork. If he gave it to others, it meant that he would get less meat.
When that time came, the workers in the factory would probably cause trouble.
The meeting lasted for more than an hour, but they still did not come up with a proper solution.
......
It was unknown who leaked the news that no one in the factory knew how to kill pigs.
For a moment, everyone in the factory seemed to be in an uproar as they discussed this matter.
Originally, everyone was full of joy and prepared to eat pork tomorrow.
But now, you're telling me that because no one knows how to kill pigs, I can't eat them anymore.
Aren't they playing us like monkeys?
...
In the toilet, Silly Zhu, who was sweeping with a broom, also heard the news.
Silly Zhu's thoughts became active.
He knew how to kill pigs.
He had done it once before.
Although Silly Zhu was only He Daqing's assistant at that time, he had helped him before.
It was much better than those chefs in the canteen who had never participated in the competition.
No one in the factory knew how to kill pigs. Even the heavens were helping him!
"My chance to go back to the canteen has come."
The smile on Silly Zhu's face was almost uncontrollable.
Silly Zhu was also thinking of a way to return to the canteen. He was not willing to do the cleaning of the toilets.
After thinking for a while, Shazhu threw down the broom and went to the workshop to look for Yi Zhonghai.
He asked him to help spread the news that he knew how to kill pigs.
Yi Zhonghai nodded and agreed.
He had always wanted Silly Zhu to return to the canteen, and this was the perfect opportunity.
If Silly Zhu kept cleaning the toilets, who knew who would take care of whom in the future.
Soon, with Yi Zhonghai's intentional promotion, many people in the factory knew that Silly Zhu knew how to kill pigs.
In just one afternoon, it had reached Manager Yang's ears.
Factory Manager Yang couldn't wait to find Silly Zhu in the toilet.
"Silly Zhu, do you really know how to kill pigs?"
Manager Yang held Shazhu's hand and asked him seriously.
"My father and I have killed pigs before…" Silly Zhu nodded.
"That's great. You have to perform well when you kill the pigs in the factory tomorrow morning.”
Factory Manager Yang heaved a sigh of relief.
Who knew that Silly Pillar would pout and shake his head,""Manager, I'm just a toilet cleaner. You should find someone else to do this job.”
Manager Yang's expression turned ugly when he heard that.
He knew that Silly Zhu wanted to raise conditions with him.
However, what Silly Pillar said was right. He was a toilet cleaner. Logically speaking, he had no obligation or right to be responsible for killing pigs.
However, in Manager Yang's eyes, this idiot did not care about the collective interests at all. He only cared about his own personal interests.
However, Factory Manager Yang couldn't do anything to Silly Zhu.
He could go to the slaughterhouse to find a butcher.
But if that was the case, Factory Manager Yang would have to consider how to appease the workers.
If things went wrong, the workers might riot and blow up the matter. As the factory manager, he would have to take the blame and resign.
"Tell me, what conditions do you have? As long as it's not too excessive, I'll agree to it.”Manager Yang said.
Silly Zhu also knew that his chance had come, so he stopped pretending.
"It's very simple. Transfer me back to the canteen to be a cook.”
Factory Manager Yang shook his head." That won't do. It's the consensus of the entire factory's leaders to let you clean the toilets."“
"Silly Zhu, you should know that the factory originally planned to fire you. I only gave you a chance because you didn't do anything wrong.”
Letting Silly Zhu clean the toilets was already being magnanimous.
Factory Manager Yang didn't dare to let Silly Zhu return to the canteen so easily.
Otherwise, there would definitely be people looking for trouble with him.
"Factory Manager Yang, take care. I still have to clean the toilet.”
Shazhu grinned and started to chase them away.
Factory Manager Yang was also very angry with Silly Zhu's attitude.
However, he had no choice but to agree."Go back to the canteen and be a temporary worker first. I'll decide to make you a permanent employee in the future depending on your situation.”
There were temporary workers in the factory, such as the aunties who washed dishes and picked vegetables in the canteen.
Temporary workers could be fired at any time.
As long as the workers in the factory did not make any big mistakes, even the factory manager had no right to fire them.
An iron rice bowl was not something that could be casually said.
Silly Pillar's background was also very good, three generations of poor farmers.
If it wasn't for the detention center incident, which tainted Silly Zhu's reputation, he wouldn't have been fired for causing trouble in the factory.
The wages of temporary workers were also lower than that of formal workers.
It was only a few dollars higher than the salary of an apprentice.
However, this was still much higher than the salary that Silly Zhu was getting for cleaning toilets.
Silly Zhu weighed it in his heart and agreed.
He felt that as long as he returned to the canteen, he would be able to become a regular cook sooner or later.
...
Then, Shazhu threw down the broom and ran to workshop 3.
"Xu Damao, Grandpa is going back to the canteen. You can stay here and slowly endure.”
Silly Zhu's first thought was to look for Xu Damao to show off.
Xu Damao's face darkened.
Xu Damao and Silly Zhu, one went to the workshop, the other went to the toilet.
The two of them had been secretly holding back their desire to return to their posts first so that they could mock each other.
Seeing his arch-enemy return to the canteen, Xu Damao was about to explode with anger.
"Bah, I'm proud of myself. What are you talking about? Sooner or later, you'll have to go to jail.”
After Silly Zhu left, Xu Damao cursed in his heart.
