Reborn in the 60s and adopted

Haha, Chief Li has told me about your difficulties. This is a good thing for our factory.

After all, we are in this remote mountain area, and it is not convenient to buy anything;

Not to mention the fruit, you are helping me in my time of need. So, how do you want to exchange it?"

The deputy factory director said with a gentle and kind look.

"I don't have any experience in this. Deputy Director, you are very knowledgeable. Why don't you help me figure it out?

Let’s see what method is more appropriate.”

It’s not that Tang Yongli really didn’t think about how to do it, he just wanted to leave this opportunity to make money for the deputy factory director.

The deputy factory director smiled even brighter. How could he not understand the implications of the words if he could be promoted to this position?

So, he pretended to decline and said, "Oh, Deputy Secretary Tang, how can I be so embarrassed to be asked to give advice on this matter?"

Tang Yongli looked at the deputy director's eyes sincerely

"Deputy Factory Director, please really help me with this. I really have never done anything like this.

This time, the leader arranged it and forced me to do it. I have to do it."

The deputy factory manager nodded, showing his understanding, and then responded

"Okay, since you, the deputy secretary, have said so, I will definitely help you.

It's almost time to get off work, so I asked my colleagues in the publicity department to publicize the event through the loudspeaker.

Do you think it is feasible to ask colleagues and their families who want to eat fruit to come to the factory gate?"

"Why not? It's really great. Your idea is great."

Tang Yongli readily agreed. This method was better than squatting at the factory gate as they had previously thought.

There are too many people to summon one by one.

The six tons of fruit behind his two Jiefang brand trucks could be exchanged as soon as possible.

When the deputy factory director saw that he agreed, he immediately got up and went out to arrange the relevant matters without saying a word.

Tang Yongli took advantage of Section Chief Li's inattention and left a basket of fruit and 200 yuan in cash on the table, then took Tang Mei back to the factory gate and waited.

The two of them didn't wait long at the door before a group of middle-aged women came running towards the door with baskets in their hands.

There were so many people that the entrance was soon blocked and some people started asking about the price.

Tang Mei said with a smile: "If you buy them individually, it's one yuan per jin. If you buy a whole basket, it's 16 yuan per box. A box is 20 jin."

After hearing the price, the astute aunties who asked for prices were obviously unhappy. If they bought this box, it would be 80 cents per pound, but if they weighed it by pound, it would be one dollar per pound. How could there be such a big difference between the two?

One of the ladies said with dissatisfaction, "Little girl, your business is too dishonest."

Tang Mei quickly explained, "Aunt, if I'm not telling the truth, I won't tell you clearly.

Just eat your scale, you see, our dragon fruit and mango are newly introduced and planted by the country in recent years, and the price we sell them is the same as that of lychees and peaches,

Do you think you can still buy it at the same price if you go to the county town?

Besides, you know the current fruit prices, they are not cheap.

It is not easy for us to get so much, and the cost must be very high.

We have traveled over mountains and rivers to bring you warmth, which is full of sincerity.

No matter who you give it as a gift, they will praise you for your taste. Isn't it very face-saving?

And these fruits are very durable, but some are not.”

The aunt nodded, saying that she understood their point, but still felt that the price was too high.

"That's true, but your price is still too high. A pound of fruit is almost as expensive as a pound of meat."

Tang Mei had anticipated this question a long time ago, and with a knowing smile on her face, she replied calmly:

"Auntie, you are really joking. Your mining area is famous for its good welfare.

Not only can I get a stable salary, but I can also occasionally eat some meat to satisfy my cravings.

Unlike our village where life is tight, but,

The fruits we brought this time are not available at any time.

This is a special reward from the county to our village, and most people can’t even eat it.”

He stewed the fruit for a while and then said, "Besides, after we sell all the fruit these two times, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to come to your place again and let everyone taste the fresh fruit."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel a little regretful. It was indeed true. Everyone wanted to taste the fresh fruit, but when they thought about the high price, they couldn't help but feel sorry for the money.

Even though most people in the coal mine have a high income, it is still a bit of a loss to buy fruit with the money you would spend on a pound of meat.

At this time, Tang Mei looked at the painful expressions of the crowd, his eyes turned, and he seemed to have thought of a good idea. He coughed lightly, smiled and gave a small suggestion, "How about this, Auntie, can we discuss it?

I know that everyone is reluctant to spend so much money on fruits, so why don’t we do a group purchase?

If everyone buys together, it will be four dollars cheaper if they buy in one basket.

In this way, everyone can taste delicious fruits and save some money. This is the first method.

Another thing is that I've heard that your factory has good welfare and that you often give out new gloves. If you really don't have money, you can exchange your gloves for fruit. How about I give you 10 cents a pair of gloves?"

The welfare benefits for the families of coal miners are good. Every household is given white gloves. People often take them apart to make sweaters, and some take them to the city to exchange for money. Of course, the price in the city is different from the price for fruit here now.

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, and many of them couldn't wait to rush back home to rummage through boxes and drawers to find the unneeded white gloves.

However, one man did not follow the crowd to look for white gloves, but squeezed into the crowd until he got in front of Tang Mei and asked, "Little girl, I don't have many extra gloves at home. It takes 160 pairs of gloves to exchange for a basket of fruit. Can I... can I exchange with something else?"

Tang Mei raised her eyebrows and looked at the man curiously, wondering what other things he would give her in exchange. So she responded softly. "What else?"

"I have a lot of coal tickets left at home, all of which were issued by the company and as rewards. Can I exchange them for this?" The man blushed. These things were already everywhere in their factory.

Of course the coal plant is not short of coal, but it is too far to go to the city to exchange it. Every time you go to exchange it, you have to save up a lot of coal, and you have to do it secretly to avoid being caught or you will be in trouble.

There were many people around who had not yet dispersed from watching the fun, all listening attentively with their ears pricked up, and they agreed very much in their hearts.

Almost every household in their factory has a large amount of coal coupons stored, but how can they burn so much coal?
