Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

When Chen Changan went to work the next day, he saw a lot of people pulling carts gathered in front of the processing plant.

They had obviously already looked for Old Man Lu, and immediately surrounded Chen Changan when they saw him.

Everyone asked Chen Changan how he transported the goods, and several people even took out a pack of freshly opened cigarettes.

Chen Changan also understood what they meant. He didn't take their cigarettes. After letting everyone be quiet, he said, "Everyone is here to find a job. Let me make it clear that you should all know each other. From now on, line up in the order of first come, first served. Then."

Chen Changan paused, pointed to Yan Jiefang next to him and said, "When there is work, he will find you and give you tickets in order. There are addresses and names on the tickets. Go and find the person directly. If there are people who can't read, you can ask them. Let them tell you the address and the name of the household owner. Then you go to the warehouse and start loading the truck according to the quantity on the ticket. Count them clearly when loading. If there are not enough when you get there, you will be responsible for it. Do you understand?"

Seeing that many people were still thinking about the process, Chen Changan ignored them and continued, "After the factory gets back to work the next day, we will settle your wages for the previous day. You will be paid based on the distance and quantity of goods you transport. Go to the finance office to find Accountant Wu to settle the bill."

If you don't understand the process yet, follow him, go through the process, and then learn how to install a chimney. Then start queuing.

He turned around and said to Yan Jiefang, "Do you understand what I just said? Let their car stay outside first, and take this group of people from the accounting office to the warehouse. Then you and your brother Yan Jiecheng will teach them how to install the chimney. It's so simple that you can basically learn it after just a few glances. Then let them line up.

You can also wait at the door of the accounting office, and put the cart at the door of the warehouse first, and put it against the wall in the order of queue. After getting the ticket in the accounting office, go directly to the warehouse to move things.

After you finish all this, let your brother Yan Jiefang go to the warehouse. According to the number of tickets, he and the other two people in the warehouse will load their carts with goods.

In this way, there will be four people loading goods each time, including those pulling the cart. Also, let your brother write down the records of entering and leaving the warehouse every day, and give him an extra two dollars in subsidy per month.

That's all. Just take them through the process."

After Yan Jiefang remembered Chen Changan's words, he nodded and said, "Brother Changan, I've got it." Then he turned around and went to greet the people pulling the carts.

Chen Changan breathed a sigh of relief. He finally got rid of these people. No wonder they all like to talk to smart people. They can understand everything in a few words.

Just after lighting a cigarette and preparing to go to the office, Chen Changan was stopped by Wu Haiyan who had just arrived at the factory. "Changan, hurry up and arrange someone for me. I was almost exhausted yesterday. If you continue to squeeze me like this, I will go back to the street office."

Chen Changan thought, you don't want to do such a small job, let the people of the future try. They fight for it and still say it's an easy job. You have never seen what 996, 007 is. You work eight hours a day, six days on and one day off, and you are still complaining about being tired.

However, the formal workers are so expensive these days that Chen Changan had no choice but to say, "Sister Wu, I've arranged it for you. It's Yan Jiefang. You collect the money and he issues the invoice. You can arrange for him to do anything he can do, and you just collect the money and count it. Is that okay?"

Wu Haiyan frowned and asked, "Just one person?"

This guy is not happy? Chen Changan said directly, "Sister, you are in the finance department. Yan Jiefang is at least a junior high school graduate and has some education. He can help you write a few words. How can I let those who haven't graduated from elementary school and can't even write their own names help you?"

Wu Haiyan shook her head after hearing this. It would be better not to have such an uneducated person. He would only cause trouble and she would be the one who would be busy in the end. She could only compromise helplessly.

After seeing Wu Haiyan off, Chen Changan was about to take another puff of his cigarette, but when he raised his hand, he saw that the cigarette was almost burned out.

I could only throw away the cigarette butt, walk into the office, sit on the chair, and then smoke a cigarette happily.

Today's factory sales are not as good as yesterday's. Yesterday, the first group of people who got the news from the street office and the steel mill came to see it. Then there were the residents in the street who were not short of money.

All we can do is wait for the news to spread, after all, it takes time for the news to spread. The stove I bought yesterday also needs time to show its excellence.

The whole morning meeting passed just like that. Unexpectedly, just after Chen Changan and his friends finished their meal, a lot of people suddenly came to buy stoves, and they specifically asked for those with chimneys.

Chen Changan was confused. It was supposed to be his rest time, but when he saw so many people queuing up outside to buy things, Chen Changan had no choice but to start working.

The few cart pullers who came late in the morning were very disappointed. They thought they came late today and didn't get any work, so they thought they would come earlier tomorrow. The food in the processing plant was good, so they paid for lunch and prepared to leave if there was no work.

After finishing the meal, I came out and saw that there was such a long queue. I immediately smiled.

In their eyes, they are not afraid of hard work or fatigue, but they are afraid of having no work to do and no food to eat.

Those who bought stoves and honeycomb coal today were obviously well prepared. They just paid the money, took the ticket and left.

As a result, there were not enough people to pull the carts, so there was no choice but to arrange to deliver it tomorrow. After confirming what time someone would be home, Yan Jiefang put the tickets that needed to be delivered in each time period together.

Chen Changan looked at so many people queuing up and felt that word of mouth shouldn't spread so quickly. This was a strange thing. And judging by the way most people were dressed, they should be from well-off families.

Chen Changan also saw several middle-aged women who were obviously wearing cadre uniforms. So out of curiosity, Chen Changan walked over to an old woman who was wearing cadre uniforms.

Then he said, "Hello, Auntie. I am the director of this honeycomb coal factory. I would like to know from you how you heard about us?"

The old lady looked at the young Chen Changan and said, "Didn't you read the newspaper?" Seeing Chen Changan's puzzled look, she continued, "Young man, you are still a factory manager, you should develop the habit of reading newspapers. This morning's Sijiucheng Morning Post and Guangming Daily both reported this."

Chen Changan finally understood what was going on. Seeing that the middle-aged woman in cadre uniform was still trying to educate him, Chen Changan ran away immediately.

Reading newspapers? What is that? There are only a few people in the office. When it is busy, Chen Changan has to do it himself. How can he have the leisure to read newspapers?

What does national affairs have to do with a small citizen like me? Praise the good ones? Cry the bad ones? What's the point? I'm not in that position. At most, I can just say a few words. It's not even empty talk that harms the country.

But this doesn't look like something done by the Street Office. Director Wang shouldn't have that much power. The District Office? It's even less likely that they would help me. It looks more like something done by Mr. Xiao. It seems that this old guy still hasn't forgotten me.
