Chen Yi's Rest Day, Doomsday of Workshop 1
For the next few days, Chen Yi continued to work at a high level.
Finally, it was his turn to rest!
Chen Yi went out early in the morning and strolled around the walls of the Imperial City.
He had never been to the capital in his previous life, so this time, he went to all the places that he was interested in, including Tianamen, the Forbidden City, the bell tower, and the drum tower.
At this time, the entrance fee for these scenic spots was very cheap, only five cents.
Unfortunately, most people were busy with their lives and did not have the mood to come out and play.
Occasionally, they would encounter a few tourists, and there were very few women among them.
There was another point that made Chen Yi feel very emotional.
At the moment, there was a shortage of supplies and the supply of various commodities. Therefore, everyone wore the same clothes.
Regardless of gender, everyone was wearing the same green military uniform, gray tunic suit, and blue liberation suit.
For people who grew up in this era, this was very normal.
After all, in the current society, the atmosphere of collectivity and hard work was strong, emphasizing the sacrifice of personal interests to serve the collective.
Everyone consciously believed that labor was the most glorious and simple fashion!
Therefore, those kinds of clothing that emphasized personality and beauty were not recognized by the mainstream.
For a special soul like Chen Yi, this was a pity…
Today, he was going out to play, so he specially wore the latest blue liberated outfit at home. This was supposed to be the original owner's wedding dress.
In the end, because of the cold weather.
No matter if it was a man or a woman outside, they were all wearing black cotton coats. There was no difference at all…
There were no beautiful women or young ladies in the scenic spots. There was simply no soul!
Chen Yi complained in his heart. He didn't want to continue visiting the scenic spots. He planned to eat something good to soothe his disappointed heart.
Suddenly, a fragrance attracted his attention. Chen Yi felt his hunger increase several times as he smelled the fragrance.
Hence, he quickly walked forward. Since he was out to play, eating was of course an important part.
"Yo, Quanjude!"
Suddenly, the gilded signboard of a restaurant came into Chen Yi's sight.
"The golden furnace will not extinguish the thousand-year fire, and the silver hook will be hung with a hundred flavors."
Looking at this couplet, Chen Yi instantly thought of this famous roast duck restaurant in the future.
"Hehe, I'm going to be extravagant today. I'll eat roast duck!”
It wasn't nonsense. A roast duck in Quanjude now cost eight yuan. Of course, one could also buy only half a duck.
Compared to the wages of this era, this place was definitely not something that ordinary people could afford.
Chen Yi wasn't short of money, so he naturally wanted an entire one.
The cooking process of the roast duck was transparent. Chen Yi looked curiously at the chef inside. He skillfully inflated the duck and hung it on the oven.
With the heat, all kinds of sauces were brushed on, and then that familiar fragrance came out.
"Tsk, you live up to your reputation!"
The roast duck, duck cake, side dishes, and tofu soup cost Chen Yi 10 yuan, and it made him feel especially good.
Although he usually ate a lot of meat, the other party's skills could make his mouth full of oil.
At this moment, Chen Yi once again experienced a famous saying in the future:
Generally speaking, there was nothing wrong with expensive things other than being expensive!
"As expected, the happiness of the rich is something that ordinary people can't imagine…"
"Burp ~"
Chen Yi burped as he strolled out of the roast duck restaurant.
It was already very cold in the winter months of the 49th city, but there were still many farmers selling vegetables by the roadside.
Most of these people came from the nearby rural communities. They could not finish the vegetables grown at home, or they simply wanted to exchange some money to subsidize their families.
Generally speaking, large machine canteens would cooperate with the supply and marketing cooperative. The vegetables collected by the supply and marketing cooperative from the countryside would be sold directly to the canteen in bulk. The excess would also be sold to the citizens.
However, buying vegetables in these places required a ticket.
This was the tragedy of the planned economy era. They had no choice but to monopolize the purchase and sale of all commodities.
People in the city had food and non-staple food. They usually had money and all kinds of tickets. People in the countryside had goods but no money and no tickets.
Therefore, under such circumstances.
Naturally, there would be a "pigeon market" that came from afar, so that everyone could get what they needed.
Of course, the market supervision department knew about this situation, but they usually turned a blind eye.
"Comrade, do you want some fresh vegetables?”
"There's no need for tickets…"
When Chen Yi was strolling by the roadside, an uncle suddenly called out to him and enthusiastically promoted his dishes.
Chen Yi stopped in his tracks and flipped through it carefully.
This uncle was selling some of the common reserve vegetables in winter in this era, such as red-skinned potatoes, cabbage, and radishes. They were all very fresh.
When Chen Yi heard the other party's offer of two cents per catty, he was a little stunned.
"Fellow villager, how about this!"
"I want all these vegetables. I'll pay three cents per catty, and then you can help me send them home, okay?”
When he thought about how he had just spent eight yuan on a duck, and how these high-quality vegetables could only be sold at such a low price, Chen Yi felt that it was really a sin...
"Alright! Alright! No problem!"
Hearing Chen Yi's good words, this fellow villager was overjoyed and immediately agreed.
"That's great. Thank you, comrade.”
Even at the end, after delivering the items to Chen Yi at the entrance of the courtyard, this fellow villager was still constantly thanking him when he left.
Because when he took out the money just now, Chen Yi said that he could send vegetables to his family once a week in the future.
There were quite a lot of things, but they had already been transported to the door. Chen Yi also moved them to the backyard one by one.
When he passed by the middle court, he saw that the door to Shazhu's house was open.
Chen Yi then remembered that Liang Ladie seemed to be resting today too, but this had nothing to do with him.
This woman was very " powerful ". Although they would usually exchange pleasantries when they met, the two families rarely interacted.
Not to mention treating each other to a meal.
Speaking of which...
A few days ago, Silly Zhu went to the police station to sign a forgiveness letter.
This was the result of Qin Huairu taking out 20 yuan and saying a bunch of nice things to apologize.
Because only in this way could the one-year juvenile detention center's " package " become three months.
Because it was the north.
Therefore, in the courtyard, every household had their own vegetable cellar.
Chen Yi went back and forth and stored the vegetables he had just bought in the vegetable cellar. For the next week, he did not have to buy vegetables.
……
Unlike Chen Yi who was enjoying himself today, the atmosphere in the first workshop of the rolling mill was very tense.
Chen Yi was a worker in the first workshop. It was just that he was on rotation leave today and was not on duty.
However, it just so happened.
This afternoon, the higher-ups happened to come to the factory for an inspection!
This kind of thing was not a big deal. It was not like everyone had not seen it before.
But today.
The workers in the first workshop realized that something was wrong.
"Faster, faster, faster…"
Not far away, a large pile of parts to be processed was waiting for them.
However, they discovered something terrifying:
According to their speed, they would definitely not be able to finish all this work before they got off work today.
"Usually, everyone can complete this amount of work every day. What's going on today?”
The director and deputy director looked at each other, both anxious.
They were originally here to take a look at the workshop. Usually, they could complete their tasks with quality and quantity, so they brought their leaders here to take a look.
In the end, the efficiency of the workshop surprised them!
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon. Anyone who wasn't blind could tell that these people definitely wouldn't be able to finish the work by five o'clock.
He looked at the frowning leader and the two factory directors who were sweating profusely.
These workers who were used to slacking off were almost going crazy at this time!
