Siheyuan: Survival Guide for Courtyard No. 95

Wang Gang was also shocked when Yao Decai told him about Zhao Shanhe's performance last month. In this season, if a hens doesn't lay eggs, it's still possible to find them, but those more than 50 eggs are real goods.

"Brother, didn't you realize that you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, are not telling the truth anymore? Are you trying to make fun of your brother?"

"Brother Wang, I haven't had time to say it yet. Besides, I just got lucky and it's not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, both of you. Come to the meeting. After the meeting, I have to report to the logistics department. Don't waste everyone's time."

The conversation between the two was interrupted by Yao Decai, and they stopped talking. Wang Gang blinked at Zhao Shanhe, meaning that this matter was not over yet, and after the meeting he had to honestly explain how he got all these things.

Yao Decai waited until everyone was seated before taking out a notebook and speaking.

"Zhao Chunjiang's mother is ill, so he asked for leave from me in advance. Zhang Li, go and tell him about today's meeting."

"Okay, Chief."

Zhao Chunjiang is the one from the purchasing team who didn't come today. He and Zhang Li both live at No. 33 Nanluoguxiang, so it was appropriate for Yao De to ask him to convey the message.

Seeing Zhang Li nodded in agreement, Yao Decai continued.

"Let me summarize your group's purchases last month. Comrade Chen Lijuan once again completed the purchase task excellently, purchasing 53 yuan worth of pork and a basket of eggs. Let us all give her warm congratulations."

After saying that, he put down his notebook and led the applause. The other team members followed suit. Although Zhao Shanhe had experienced this situation several times, he was still not used to it. He always felt like he had entered a pyramid scheme den in the 21st century.

After about a few seconds, the applause stopped and Yao Decai continued speaking while looking at his notebook.

"Zhang Li 40 yuan, Zhao Chunjiang 37 yuan, Wang Gang 48 yuan, and finally Zhao Shanhe. I won't say much about him. He has made some progress, but not much. He needs to keep up the good work."

These amounts are the amounts spent on purchasing fish, meat and eggs. Because the prices are relatively transparent, no one can cheat. Of course, if someone is willing to pay for the task himself, then we can only say that this person is crazy. How much money can he make in a month? Why is he working so hard?

Zhao Shanhe knew that Yao Decai didn't tell him the amount of money he earned to save his face. He clenched his fists under the desk. Once the small world had output, he would not be the last one no matter what.

"The number of tasks this month is the same as last month. Although the cold weather has made procurement more difficult, everyone can use their brains to think of ways. We don't have to focus on the chickens and eggs of our fellow villagers. Going hunting in the mountains as Wang Gang mentioned just now is a good idea. If all else fails, we can go to Shichahai to dig a hole in the ice and fish.

In a word, don’t be idle. The end of this month is New Year’s Day, and you don’t want your benefits to be deducted at the end of the year, right? "

A factory of this era is like a small society, with a hospital, a clinic, a primary school, and a nursery. It can be said that basically all of these are available in the factories outside. Large factories with tens of thousands of employees, such as steel rolling mills, even have stadiums, but everyone is busy working and has no time to use them.

The benefits distributed by the factory on New Year’s Day and Spring Festival every year are what everyone looks forward to the most. Flour, pork, sausages, and canned food are good things that no one usually spend money to buy. They just wait for the factory to distribute them at the end of the year and take them home to make dumplings with flour and pork fillings.

When they heard about the deduction of benefits, everyone except Chen Lijuan was furious.

"Section Chief, I promise to complete the task this month, just wait and see."

"I was only two dollars short of the task quota last month. I will definitely be able to complete it if I work harder this month. Section Chief, please don't let the logistics department deduct my benefits. I'm counting on these things to show off."

Zhang Li's answer was quite standard, but since he came from the military and made the guarantee, he must have some confidence.

Wang Gang's family doesn't need this little bit of welfare. He mainly wants to take it home to show his parents that he is not messing around outside.

Zhao Shanhe didn't dare to say anything, he didn't know what to say.

If he said he could guarantee to complete the task based on the work he had done in the previous three months, others would think he was bragging. If he said he couldn't complete it, not only would it hurt morale, but it would also make him appear incompetent. It would be better for him to wait until the middle of the month and deliver 30 yuan worth of corn to the factory. This way he could complete the task and shut up other people. As for how much to hand over to the purchasing department in the remaining half month, he would talk about it later.

If it were ordinary corn, the purchasing department might not necessarily accept it, but white horsetooth corn can be considered a high-end ingredient in this season, and it would get extra points even if it was served on the tables of leaders.

"Very good, comrades, you should have this ambition. Then I will wait for your things in the factory. By the way, there is one more thing I want to say. The higher-ups have notified that a national sports meeting will be held in Sijiu City next year. The factory means that those who want to participate can go and register first. The registration place is in the Propaganda Department. However, I heard that the selection will be very strict. If you don't have a certain level, don't go and embarrass yourself. Comrade Tie Chengtong, is there anything else to add?"

Wang Tiecheng saw Deputy Section Chief Yao called his name and shook his head.

"I have nothing to add. I hope everyone can work hard and ensure their own safety. I wish the procurement work will be completed smoothly."

"Okay, let's break up the meeting."

After Yao Decai walked out of the office, Wang Gang continued to ask Zhao Shanhe about the purchase on the last day of last month. It was more than 50 eggs, which was a very wild way of buying.

There was no need to hide this matter. Zhao Shanhe knew that the news that there were eggs in Wang Lizhuang Village would soon spread to the purchasing departments of various factories in Sijiu City. He recounted the entire process from receiving the news to going to the countryside to purchase. After listening, everyone attributed the matter to luck, because they usually only had a dozen eggs to purchase in the countryside.

Zhao Shanhe thought about the sports meet that Yao Decai mentioned at the end. He really wanted to participate. After all, even the leaders of China would go to watch. However, with his small physique, he would probably be eliminated in the selection round. It would be better not to humiliate himself.

After chatting and laughing with Wang Gang, he walked out of the administrative building, got a gun from the security department, and then the two of them went directly to Qinjiatun.

Readers who have read "Qin Dazhuang" know that Qinjiatun is located in the north of Sijiu City. It takes more than 30 kilometers to ride out of Andingmen. When the two arrived at Qinjiatun, it was already noon.

Wang Gang seemed to have a very good relationship with this village. The militia at the entrance of the village let him go when they saw him. The two of them rode all the way to the entrance of a yard before stopping. The yards in the countryside all looked the same, but this yard was much bigger than the village chief's house in Wang Lizhuang Village.

Wang Gang asked Zhao Shanhe to wait for him at the door for a while, and he opened the courtyard gate and walked straight in, and only knocked on the door when he reached the door of the house.

"Uncle Hongqi, are you home?"

Not long after, a middle-aged man in his 40s came out of the house. He had a sturdy build and sharp eyes, and he looked like someone who was not to be trifled with.

When this person saw that it was Wang Gang, his face drooped.

"Why are you here again, little brat? You don't want to go hunting in the mountains again, do you? There is too much snow on the mountain now, and it's hard to walk without taking one deep step and one shallow step. Even an experienced hunter could easily lose his life there. You should wait until the snow melts in the spring. Then I'll ask the young men in the village to go hunting with you."
