Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Ever since the technical workers supported by the department arrived, Chen Changan no longer has to worry about production issues.

Entering March and April, the days of spring flowers blooming have arrived.

The matter of building a single dormitory as promised to Chen Changan was finally put on the agenda.

Chen Changan was too lazy to care about this kind of thing. If he had time, he might as well stroll around the workshop and make his presence felt.

It’s just building a house, and the motorcycle factory doesn’t have to worry about all the materials.

Chen Changan just needs to wait for the construction to be completed and inspected, and arrange two people to supervise it and pay attention to the quality.

As the tasks of motorcycle factories increased, the tasks of many supporting factories also began to increase slowly.

For example, opposite the motorcycle factory is the steel rolling mill.

After all, no matter what kind of motorcycle it is, it needs steel, especially the handlebars, beams, etc., which need to be provided by steel mills.

However, compared with the treatment at the motorcycle factory, the steel rolling mill's planned tasks have also increased, but the treatment has not changed at all.

For example, in the motorcycle factory, braised pork can be eaten frequently not only during the Chinese New Year period when people work overtime.

Now that the production has returned to normal, we will have meat to eat regularly.

This makes many workers in the motorcycle factory feel that their motorcycle factory is more important than the steel rolling mill.

After all, in this era of food shortage, the workers in the motorcycle factory not only had enough to eat, but also had meat to eat from time to time.

This treatment is much better than the cabbages and radishes that people eat in the steel mill.

How could the workers not be proud? In addition, the factory gates were opposite each other and the working hours were the same.

It was normal for people who knew each other to chat casually. But after a few words, the workers in the steel mill began to look gloomy.

What do you mean? Your newly built motorcycle factory is better than our steel rolling mill?

Your factory has only been built for a few days? Our steel rolling mill existed before liberation.

You guys are trying to jump on our heads after just a few days? Without our steel mill, could you have built your motorcycles?

Eat better than us? Isn't that normal? Asking me to work overtime during the Chinese New Year, but not giving me good food, who would come?

Your factory leaders and cooks are amazing. They have saved up the overtime benefits given during the Chinese New Year and still have them today.

But as time goes by, the motorcycle factory still eats meat or hairtail from time to time.

This makes the workers at the motorcycle factory even more arrogant, and they are also arrogant on their way home from get off work. What's the matter? Our motorcycle factory's contribution is higher than your steel rolling mill.

Otherwise, why do you eat radishes and cabbages every day in your factory? Why don’t you eat meat? Is meat not tasty?

This made many workers in the steel rolling mill furious, and they began to report the inaction of the factory leaders.

Is the work of our steel mill unimportant? Or is it that our workers are not doing their job well?

Why is it that the motorcycle factory often eats meat, but our factory doesn’t even see meat once in two years?

The news was reported to higher levels and finally reached Li Huaide, the deputy director of the steel mill responsible for logistics.

At first, Li Huaide didn't care much about it. After all, the motorcycle factory was a foreign exchange earning unit, and most of the factory leaders in the city knew this.

So it was normal for him to be treated better, and Chen Changan was a strange man. My father-in-law had also mentioned Chen Changan to me.

It seems that some big shot strongly recommended Chen Changan to be the director of the motorcycle factory, and Chen Changan is also very hardworking and really understands the technology.

So Li Huaide didn't want to offend Chen Changan, after all, he had worked under his command before.

Afterwards, Li Huaide became a little uneasy, and the heads of various departments under him came to talk to him about this matter.

This is not good, some workers have started to cause trouble in the factory because the food is not as good as that in the motorcycle factory.

Even Director Yang mentioned this matter several times in the factory leadership meeting. This made Li Huaide unable to sit still.

But Li Huaide’s many years as logistics director and deputy factory director in charge of logistics were not in vain.

They immediately found a meat processing plant, and after some exchanges of interests, they finally got a few big fat pigs.

This amount of meat is obviously not enough for the number of workers in the steel mill, so there is no braised pork to eat. Pork stewed with vermicelli is not bad.

Eating meat today, the steel mill workers who got the news felt like it was New Year's Day.

They haven't even had a bite yet, but they are already so happy. They must humiliate the people at the motorcycle factory opposite after get off work today.

As a result, when they arrived at the canteen to serve food at noon, the workers saw that it was just a little greasy. This is called pork stewed with vermicelli? They immediately refused to work.

"I saw with my own eyes that the big fat pigs from the factory were brought to the canteen this morning. And this is how you cooked for us in the canteen."

Those who arrived earlier had already ordered their food and were planning to keep silent, but when they saw someone speaking up, they said, "That's right, everyone, look, this is pork stewed with vermicelli? I can't even find a piece of meat."

"Or you could just say it's vermicelli stewed in lard and we wouldn't say anything. But you have such a big pot, and it looks like there are only a few pieces of meat. Did your cook steal all the pork shipped from the factory?"

Suddenly, the workers at the steel mill started making louder noises in the cafeteria.

This scene reminded Sha Zhu of the time when he was flipping the spoon in the cafeteria.

Today's scene is so similar to the time when I was beaten before.

If this continues, I'm afraid I'll be beaten again today. I hurried back to the kitchen.

At this time, the canteen director saw the situation and hurried over. He quickly called a few kitchen helpers and carried out a large basin of meat together.

This dish was originally prepared for the factory leaders and heads of various departments.

Now that we see that the situation is not right, let’s carry him out quickly and calm the workers first.

Seeing so much meat being carried out, the canteen director also came out and gave each person at least two slices of meat.

Although there were still many workers cursing, they finally started lining up for food.

This made the canteen director breathe a sigh of relief, at least this hurdle was finally passed.

As for the factory leaders, at least there is still a chance to explain, and they don't mind it.

The workers are pretty satisfied, at least it’s better than the daily rations before, right?

As for the motorcycle factory, it has no shortage of money because of its recent surge in production and good overseas sales.

The meat is indeed hard to buy, but with Director Huang from the aquatic product supply company here, it is easy to get hairtail.

We had hairtail fish at the motorcycle factory today. Each person got several pieces, all of which were large and thick.

The workers were very happy to eat, and they were all smiling and in a good mood. They worked very hard.

What's more, after get off work, I can find people at the steel mill across the street to brag to.

It’s still comfortable to work in a motorcycle factory. The work is not as tiring as in a steel mill, and the food is okay.

The most important thing is that after get off work, I can still find people from the steel mill to brag and make fun of the mill’s food problem.

This is now the fun of most motorcycle factory workers after get off work every day.
