Yang Weimin had been working overtime for the past few days in order to take the sixth-grade bench work exam. He was a little tired, so he didn't go out and stayed at home to rest.
The next day, Yang Weimin woke up refreshed.
"Sign in."
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining 100 bottles of Arctic Ocean soda, 30 catties of white flour, and 30 catties of rice.”
Although there was no meat, Yang Weimin was overjoyed. There was a limited amount of white flour and rice, and he rarely ate them. Most of the time, the rice was used to make porridge, so he could eat more meals.
Yang Weimin was a southerner in his previous life and mainly ate rice. He also liked to eat noodles, but he was still used to eating rice as his staple food.
Thinking of the canned red braised pork in the System Space, Yang Weimin planned to cook some rice at night and heat up the canned red braised pork. The rice was sprinkled with the fragrant red braised pork soup. It was a perfect match!
As for the Arctic Ocean Soda, it was even better. Yang Weimin rarely drank a bottle of it. The main reason was that it was a little expensive. It cost 10 cents per bottle, and there were tickets.
At this moment, the pork was only 681 cents per catty. Few people could drink a bottle of Arctic Ocean that cost 10 cents.
However, Arctic Ocean was currently the best-selling beverage. Arctic Ocean Food Company's trucks lined up from the factory in Anlelin outside Yongding Gate all the way to Shazikou, almost 300 meters away.
The 300-meter line was not lined up by people, but by trucks. One could imagine how popular the Arctic Ocean Soda was.
On a hot summer day, a bottle of Arctic Ocean could offset the heat. Although it was late summer, the weather was still a little hot, especially in the workshop.
Without air conditioning or electric fans, Yang Weimin relied on the Arctic Ocean to spend the hot summer. It could be said that the Arctic Ocean was his favorite summer.
However, Yang Weimin didn't drink it often, and very few people would sell tickets for Arctic Ocean Soda. He would drink it alone or when his friends gathered together.
One hundred bottles were enough for Yang Weimin to drink for a long time. Without hesitation, Yang Weimin took out a bottle and pressed the cap on the bed. The bottle opened with a bang.
He didn't need a bottle opener. He could open it with his teeth, chopsticks, or two bottles of soda.
Anyway, Yang Weimin was very experienced in opening bottles.
After drinking a bottle of Arctic Ocean, Yang Weimin got up and brushed his teeth. Soda wasn't good for his teeth, so it was better to brush his teeth after drinking it.
After eating a can of red braised pork, Yang Weimin took out a cloth bag and filled it with ten bottles of Arctic Ocean before setting off for the factory.
Yang Weimin met Yan Bugui on his way out. He nodded and greeted him before walking out.
Yan Bugui's ears were sharp, and he heard the sound of the bottles hitting each other in the sack.
"Weimin, what's in your bag?”
"It's nothing."
Yang Weimin didn't plan to give it to the people of the Siheyuan. In the past, when he was in trouble, no one took the initiative to help him. Moreover, Yan Bugui loved to take advantage of him.
Giving it to Yan Bugui was like beating a dog with a meat bun. Don't expect Yan Bugui to give you anything in return. At most, he would just smile and say," Thank you!”
Yan Bugui didn't give up." Why does it sound like a glass bottle to me!”
"Yes, it's a glass bottle. It's used in the factory. Third Uncle, I have to go to work. See you later.”
"Hey, hey..."
Seeing Yang Weimin leave without looking back, Yan Bugui couldn't help but mutter," He ran so fast. He must have done something shameful."”
"What shameful things? Third Uncle."
Yan Bugui was startled by the sudden voice. He turned around and saw that it was Jia Dongxu.
"Ahem, it's nothing. I just saw Yang Weimin carrying a bag out. He didn't say anything when I asked him.”
Jia Dongxu nodded." I think you're right. Yang Weimin must have done something shameful!”
" Cough cough," Yan Bugui hurriedly said," No, I was just saying." I have to go to work too."
Jia Dongxu watched as Yan Bugui rode his bicycle into the distance and sneered. He had also seen him from behind, but he didn't like Yang Weimin, so he waited for a while before leaving.
She had heard Yan Bugui's words and had wanted to use this as an excuse to criticize Yang Weimin in the courtyard. However, she had not expected Yan Bugui to be so timid and not dare to take responsibility.
After this encounter, Jia Dongxu was also curious about what Yang Weimin had brought.
After arriving at the factory, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but look in the direction of Yang Weimin. The two of them were in the same workshop, and not far from Jia Dongxu was Yang Weimin's work station.
The bulging sack was placed at Yang Weimin's feet. Although Jia Dongxu was curious, he didn't dare to take the initiative to flip through it, or he would be treated as a thief.
In this era, reputation was too important. Thieves were looked down upon by everyone. They would even be sent to the security department. In serious cases, they would even be sent to the police station and detained for a while.
Jia Dongxu didn't find anything in Yang Weimin's bag until lunch time.
Yang Weimin also brought a cloth bag with him to the canteen with his familiar colleagues.
The canteen of the Red Star Rolling Mill was very large and could accommodate thousands of people dining at the same time. There were long tables and round tables.
There was a pool at the entrance. The employees in the factory could bring their own food or eat directly with their meal tickets.
The tickets here were actually issued by the factory. They also cost money, but it was cheaper than outside, so most of the employees ate the food directly from the factory.
Those who were from wealthy families brought better food, or those from poor families brought two servings of cornbread.
Yang Weimin didn't like to spend too much time cooking in the morning. He preferred to sleep a little longer, so he always ate the food from the canteen directly. Sometimes, he would pack some more and bring them back.
The food in the canteen was not very delicious, but there was one good thing about it, which was that there was more oil. Most people would save as much cooking oil as possible at home, and there was a limited amount of cooking oil.
There were a total of four windows, and each line had a long queue. There were not many dishes, nor were there any fish or meat. Basically, there were potatoes, cabbage, tofu, cornbread, and white steamed buns.
It was already a very sumptuous lunch to order a steamed bun and a potato.
Yang Weimin saw that there were so many people in line, so he took out a meal ticket and a lunch box and handed it to Er Gang.
"Help me get a portion of cabbage and two steamed buns. I'll go out for a while.”
"Okay, Brother Yang, you go."
Yang Weimin counted the seven people who were eating with him. He quickly returned to the workshop and placed the two bottles of Arctic Ocean in a corner of the equipment.
Then, he went to the open-air pool outside and washed the eight bottles of Arctic Ocean under the water.
The tap water was a little warm at first, but it became very cool later on.
Yang Weimin had brought it to the workshop in the morning. The Arctic Ocean was a little warm, so Yang Weimin preferred to drink cold water.
However, if he washed in the canteen pool, it would inevitably attract gossip. With so many bottles of Arctic Ocean, it was easy for people to be jealous and report him for wasting water or being too extravagant.
