Siheyuan works as a nanny for Shazhu

The result was that the leadership teams of four workshops had to be increased, and leaders at all levels in the factory would also be able to get a piece of the pie. After the meeting, Director Yang took Zhang Jiacheng with him and went to the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry. When the two came back, it was almost time to get off work. They explained the content and necessity of the plan to the top leader, who didn't say anything and asked them to come back and wait for notice.

What I said to Director Yang yesterday, neither Zhang Jiacheng nor Jiang Feng said anything. They had to wait for the approval of their superiors to agree to the establishment of the workshop before Director Yang's wish could come true. On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, Director Yang received a notice to attend a meeting at the Ministry of Metallurgy. This time he brought Deputy Director Wang and Zhang Jiacheng with him. Several deputy directors in the factory have been busy during this period. They have all been using their connections to promote this matter. If it is done, everyone will be happy. If it is not done, no one will have any hope.

The meeting went very smoothly. Not only did it have the support of most of the leaders, but some also wanted to arrange for their subordinates to come to the factory to study as soon as possible. The leaders were all smiling and were very polite to Director Yang.

The meeting decided to implement the plan of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and notify all streets to organize workers of appropriate age to enter the factory. However, the number of people entering the factory to study increased, doubling, and Director Yang agreed with a difficult look on his face.

However, as soon as he walked out of the gate of the Ministry of Metallurgy and got in the car, Director Yang could not hide the smile on his face. Deputy Director Wang and Zhang Jiacheng who were traveling with him were also smiling. When they returned to the steel rolling mill, an announcement was broadcast in the factory, and the entire steel rolling mill was in an uproar. There were 1000 job vacancies and the factory was going to be expanded again.

All the workers in the factory were happy for the factory. Workers of this era really regarded the factory as their home. If they lived well at home, they would be more proud when others said they were from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

This broadcast also announced the New Year holiday time. There will be three days off from the first to the third day of the first lunar month, and the clock will ring on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, so that everyone can have a good New Year.

Director Yang was also planning to broadcast the promotion of Zhang Jiacheng and some technical department personnel to boost everyone's morale, but was stopped by Zhang Jiacheng. His salary was not low to begin with, and after taking on the role of director, it was over a hundred yuan. The same was true for Jiang Feng. Now the workshop had not been built yet, so it would be better to wait until the workshop was built and the corresponding management personnel were arranged before broadcasting it together, so it would not be so conspicuous.

Director Yang agreed, and Jiang Feng felt relieved. In fact, it was Jiang Feng who talked to Zhang Jiacheng about this. He had just joined the factory not long ago, and his salary was raised to 85 as soon as the workshop was established. This was already the highest salary in the courtyard. If it was announced before the New Year, who knows how many people would be jealous. Next year, they would have to launch a "one big, two public" campaign, which would not be good if it was too conspicuous. Moreover, the three-year difficult period would come soon, and life would be even more difficult then.

Jiang Feng felt unhappy when he returned to the courtyard. He thought about doing something for this era, but found that he could do nothing. He had no channels and no one he could trust. He could only take care of the people around him. He Yuzhu and others saw that Jiang Feng was unhappy and didn't say anything when they asked him. There was nothing they could do. Finally, Li Xiaoyan handed the few-month-old He Xiao to him. Jiang Feng then smiled and teased little He Xiao.

After a while, seeing He Xiao yawning, Jiang Feng handed the child to his sister-in-law. When Li Xiaoyan came into the house with He Xiao in her arms, he took out a cigarette and handed one to He Yuzhu. He asked, "Brother Zhuzi, you've been a chef for many years, right? Don't you have any ideas?"

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "What idea? I only know how to cook. I don't know anything else."

"The factory is going to expand next year, so the cafeteria will definitely need to recruit people. This time, the recruitment is not only for the expansion, but your cafeteria should also add a deputy director to strengthen management. Also, you always say that Fengze Garden's business is not so good, so your brothers can also consider it."

"Really? How come there is no news at all? Where did you hear it?"

"Everyone above us knows about it, but we said before the New Year that we would recruit workers, and the logistics have to keep up. It would be great if you have ideas to take it further."

He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, "I need to ask Master about my senior brother's matter. Is the news about the deputy director true? I will go find Director Yang tomorrow and ask him first."

"Okay, but your Director Wang is also very good to you and is always on the move. Go ask Director Wang first. If he can recommend you, that would be great. Ask about recruiting first. Tomorrow morning, go to Fengze Garden early to ask your master. That way you will have a better idea of ​​what to do. It will also help the leader resolve his worries. I guess Director Wang is also worried about where to find a chef."

He Yuzhu nodded and they chatted for a few more words. It was too cold, so they went back to sleep. After helping He Yushui fix the stove, Jiang Feng also went back to the house.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Feng came out of the space, looked at the white snow outside, gritted his teeth, opened the door and walked out. The winter in Sijiu City is freezing to death. Jiang Feng now goes into the space to sleep every day because it is too cold to sleep in the bed outside.

Arriving at the Pigeon Market, at this time, there were fewer people buying things in the market, as the New Year was approaching, and all the good things were saved for the New Year. Only some things that were really hard to come by were bought with some money from their family savings, so that they could have a good New Year. Jiang Feng hadn't been here for a while, mainly because it was too cold. While walking slowly, Jiang Feng was also looking around, and everyone was wrapped up tightly, and a puff of white steam came out of their mouths when they spoke.

Stopping beside an old farmer and looking at the two ducks in the cage, Jiang Feng asked, "How do I buy ducks? Are they a pair of male and female?"

When the old farmer saw someone asking for the price, he stamped his feet and said, "One dollar and a half for each, a male and female pair."

Jiang Feng saw that the prices were about the same, so he said, "I'll take it, but can you give me the cage as well?"

As Jiang Feng spoke, he handed over a cigarette. The old farmer thought about it, took the cigarette, and nodded. Jiang Feng paid the money, picked up the cage, and asked again: "Uncle, I think you look like a country boy, I want to ask you something."

The old farmer became alert when he heard the question, took two steps back and said, "I'm from the countryside, what do you want to know?"

"Uncle, don't be nervous. I just want to ask, I want to buy some seeds, I wonder if you have any?"

"What seeds? What do you want seeds for? You seem to be a city person and you don't farm." The old man asked in confusion when he saw that the man was there to buy something.

"You don't need to worry about what I'm going to use it for. I need grain seeds, either wheat or rice. See if you have any. I don't need a lot, half a pound to a pound will be enough."

"Yes, I do, but not now. I'm only here today this year, so I'll hand it over to you then."

Jiang Feng thought for a moment and said, "It depends on when you come again. We'll meet here again. Not only seeds, but also living things. I want anything."

When Jiang Feng said he wanted something alive, the old man came up to him and said, "I want anything. How about a rabbit? I also want a calf. We'll also have a wild boar when the new year comes."

"Yes, but how are you going to get here by yourself?"

The old man looked at Jiang Feng and said, "Come with me."

Jiang Feng's body has been strengthened now, so even if he has not learned any tricks, he can still use brute force to keep several people away. He followed the old man and walked forward. The old man came to a man with a bag in front of him and said a few words. The man looked up, put away the bag in front of him, turned around and walked into an alley. The old farmer and Jiang Feng followed him in.

After entering the alley, he saw several figures standing and squatting inside. Jiang Feng stood at the entrance of the alley and did not go in. The old farmer saw this and said to Jiang Feng, "They are all young men from the village. The things you want are in the car." Then he said to the men, "Get out of the way and take out the things for people to see."

The first person who came in lowered his head and lifted the cloth on the cart. Jiang Feng then saw that there was a calf tied up on the cart, as well as a few rabbits. Seeing that they were from the countryside to buy things, he walked in, looked at the things on the cart, and said to the old farmer, "Uncle, how much do you sell these for?"

"The rabbit is 1 yuan each, and the price of beef is based on the meat price, which is 5 yuan per pound. I weighed this beef at home, and it weighs 7 pounds. The total is 63 yuan, so I'll charge you 44 yuan."

"The price is right, but it's hard for me to carry it. Can you help me deliver it?"

The old farmer exchanged glances with the people beside him, nodded and said, "No problem, where do you want it to be sent to?"

"No hurry, let me see what else you have for sale. Bring them all out and let me see them. I'll take them all, so you don't have to wait here any longer."

"That's great, but we've met a big customer, Sanzi, take out all your things."

The man who had been guarding outside went to the corner of the wall and brought out two or three bags and a basket, and opened them in front of Jiang Feng. There were duck eggs in the basket, sweet potatoes in the bag, and a small bag of white flour. Jiang Feng squatted down, reached out and touched the white flour. It was not bad, better than two-grain flour, but still had a rough feel. It should have been ground by their own mill.

He stood up and said, "Tell me the price, I want all of them."

The old farmer was happy to see that all his things were sold out. He calculated and found that duck eggs were 2 yuan, white flour was 5 yuan, and sweet potatoes were not valuable, only 5 yuan for more than 4 kilograms. Together with the ones he just bought, the total was 40 yuan.

Jiang Feng calculated and it was not expensive, so he said to the old farmer: "Uncle, load everything on the truck. I will pay you when we get there. Thank you for your hard work. I will make it a round-up, 58 yuan. It's not easy for you to come out here."

The old farmer was also very happy when he heard this. With a few more cents, he could buy more corn flour. He said to his third son, "Go, call Tieniu and Tiedan to come over and load the truck quickly. Get the stuff ready for me."

Jiang Fengzi stood aside, watching them put all their things in the car, and said, "Follow me."

Several people were pulling the cart behind them. Jiang Feng turned around and found a deserted house. When he got to the alley next to it, he said to them, "Let's all park here."

After that, he took out the money from his pocket, counted out 60 yuan and gave it to the old farmer, saying, "Uncle, this is 60 yuan, the extra two yuan is my deposit. Can you come back sometime after the new year and bring me 2 kilograms of seeds?"
