60s Splendid Life

After the spring plowing ended, their new factory started construction. They first built the factory buildings, and Lu Jin also planned to build offices and staff dormitories, but now they don’t have much money. After the building is built, they must recruit people from the village first, and the dormitory building will not be used for the time being, so it will be hard to say in the future.

Many houses built by people in the village do not have foundations, but their factory buildings have dug deep foundations, filled the bottom with big stones and cement sand, and filled the surrounding with pillars, so that the houses built will be stronger , Of course, the cost of building a house will be higher.

There are big rocks on the mountain on their side. These big rocks were found by members of the village on the mountain, and they were pulled back by carts.

When it comes to building houses, apart from the invited master and two small workers, the men in their village will also come to help with the work when they have time. Few men in their village can't build houses now, and many People's houses are built by their own families, so these men's crafts have been practiced, not to mention men, even some women can build walls with bricks.

Therefore, after the busy farming period is over, as long as the members of the village are not so busy, they will come to the new factory to help with work. The new walls of the new factory building are increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye every day.

Lu Jin followed him for a few days at the beginning, but then he handed over the building of the factory to Lu Bowen. He had more important things to do on his side.

Seeing that the new factory is already under construction, it won't take long to complete it.

When the new factory is built, they will definitely sell things, but what to sell, the first thing he thinks of is to sell their fermented bean curd, which is low in cost and high in profit, and the most important thing is that they can make it themselves. There are also raw materials, but a little labor is needed to make them, so he went to the glass factory in the county to order a batch of glass bottles, just to use them to hold fermented bean curd.

And he doesn't plan to sell Sanwu products. Since they want to sell them, they have to be an enterprise and a brand, so that others will think of Qingcheng Foods when they see the trademark printed on the product packaging, just like the people of later generations When you see soda, you will think of XX Le. When you see hamburgers, you will think of Grandpa K and Mr. M. He wants to build a national enterprise.

He even thought of the full name of their factory, it's called Qingcheng Food Processing Factory.The reason why Lujia Village was not used as the beginning is because Lu Jin felt that the village was too small. If someone had a look at the food processing factory in a certain village, the first impression would be whether the food produced in a village was edible or safe. There will be doubts about the safety of the food produced by this factory.But using Qingcheng is different, at least the area is large, and there is another very important point, that is, the word Qingcheng is also nice, and if they start with Qingcheng, they will need government support in the future. no.

After he analyzed the various benefits, the cadres of their commune also agreed with the name Qingcheng Food Processing Factory.

After confirming the name of their new factory, Lu Jin went to Qi Yu to help him design the outer packaging and trademark of the product.

It happened that Qi Yu had nothing to do these two days, so he wrote and drew at home and helped Lu Jin design the trademark. When he saw Lu Jin came back from the outside, he called someone over and showed the design he made to Lu Jin Jin Kan, "Look at the drawings I drew, which one do you like better?"

"Let me take a look first." Lu Jin took the drawings and looked at them. There are three drawings in total, and two of them have complicated logo drawings. They look good, but he thinks the printed effect may not be so good. There is one It was written with a brush, a bit like an ink painting, with the word "Qingcheng" written in artistic style inside, and a semicircle circled by a wheat ear. Although the last one looked simple, it gave him the feeling It is the best, he showed this one to Qi Yu, "What do you think of this one?"

Seeing the picture selected by Lu Jin, Qi Yu smiled and said, "I like this one too, but it's a bit simpler. How about I add something more to it?"

"No need, it's good just like this, simple and easy to remember at a glance." The two agreed, and Lu Jin chose the one with wheat ears.

In addition to the trademark, there is also the design of the appearance. Qi Yu also made several designs according to Lu Jin's meaning. Lu Jin chose a design with several deer. The deer and "Lu" have the same pronunciation, and the deer represents them. In Lujia Village, he felt that it was better to use deer than other animals.Just like the red pandas and squirrels of a certain brand in later generations, people will think of their products when they see these deer. He thinks the impression of the outer packaging is also very important.

The other unused trademarks and drawings were invalidated. Lu Jin only took the two selected ones to show Captain Lu and the secretaries, and told them that there was such a thing.As for how useful these two things are, these village cadres didn't realize anything at the moment, they just thought it was a blueprint.

Considering that the time to pick up the bottle was coming, because the village didn't have a telephone, he couldn't call the factory to ask, and the factory should have produced the bottle, so Lu Jin called Lu Enhua to open it. The tractor went to the county town with him to pull the bottle back, and Zhang Kai was also traveling with him.

After leaving Lu Bowen in the village, Lu Jin asked Captain Lu to ask Zhang Kai from the educated youth to be his assistant, but because he wanted Zhang Kai but not Lu Tao, the secretary looked at him with dissatisfaction. He didn't even have a good face.It's just that, what he is looking for is someone who can follow by his side and do things. Of course, he needs to find someone who is capable and able to do things, not an idiot who only knows how to talk. So even if the secretary has a problem with him, he Still chose Zhang Kai.

They went out before the sun rose in the early morning. Together with the tractor driver Xie Enhua, the three of them still ate breakfast at the stall of the tofu workshop. They were afraid that it would be difficult to buy food on the road, so they bought it from the tofu workshop. A bag of baked pancakes to take along.In the past, Lu Jin taught everyone to make these baked pancakes. The children in the village liked to save money to buy them as snacks, and the adults also liked to eat them. Although such a small pancake, it can fill their stomachs and fill their stomachs.

This time, Lu Jin and Zhang Kai are sitting on the back of the tractor together. There is a lot of rain in spring. It only rained two days ago, so there is not so much dust on the road. They can still talk while sitting behind the tractor. If they take a tractor in summer When you go out, let alone talk, you dare not even open your eyes.

They were going to the county seat. Lu Jin chatted with Zhang Kai on the way, and asked Zhang Kai, "You haven't been to our county seat yet, have you?"

"We went to the county town on the day we came, and went to Qingcheng Town after going through the formalities there, and then arrived at your village." Zhang Kai recalled that they went to the countryside and took the train for several days and nights. After several transfers of trains, I arrived at Lujia Village.

In the nearly two years since he went to the countryside as an educated youth, Zhang Kai has changed a lot. He is no longer the flamboyant young man he used to be, but has become more low-key and restrained, doing things down-to-earth, and leading a group of educated youths. Taking root in Lujia Village, some people just arrived in the countryside and still want to go home every day, but gradually they all know that it is difficult for them to go back to the city, so they put their minds to it and live in the countryside. work.

However, compared to the educated youths who went to other places, the educated youths who went to Lujia Village are considered lucky. They only learned later that the educated youths who went to the countryside with them and went to other villages did not have a good life. How good, even many educated youths can't even eat enough.

Although they have to work in Lujia Village every day, either in the field or in the factory, as long as they are willing to work, they will not go hungry, and many of them have saved some money and food during the Chinese New Year this year. Send them back to the city to give to their loved ones.Even Zhang Kai saved a little money himself, but because his family's conditions are not bad, his parents are dual-employed, and there is a younger brother at home who is studying, so life is not too difficult, so in the past two years He only sent food to his family twice, but he didn't send the money to his family, but kept it in his hands for emergency use.

The two sat in the car and chatted all the way. There were several bundles of straw on the car, and each of them leaned on a bundle of straw as a backrest. Except for the bumpy road under their buttocks, the journey was fine.

When they arrived in the county, they didn't go to the glass factory in a hurry. Instead, they went to the paper factory to buy two big bags of paper, hard paper and soft paper. They would use these things for printing the outer packaging, and Lu Jin planned to pack them back. Save some money by printing the packaging yourself.

They went to the glass factory after shopping. Lu Jin took the note and entered the factory gate, and took Zhang Kai and Xie Enhua to meet Director Huang.

We just met each other not long ago. Director Huang naturally still remembers this little director Lu, and he has been waiting for someone to come to pick up the goods. Otherwise, the batch of goods they produced will not be wanted by anyone. How to deal with it, so I was very happy to see people coming, "We have already produced the bottles you want, do you think we are taking the goods away now?"

"Well, yes, let's go and see the goods first?" Lu Jin suggested.

"That's fine, I'll take you there." It happened that Director Huang had nothing important to do right now, so he took Lu Jin and the others to see the goods.

After checking that there was no problem with the goods, they went back to Director Huang's office to settle the remaining payment.Factory Manager Huang also sent two workers to help them move the goods to their cars. This batch of cans was filled with a tractor's back bucket, and a layer of straw was laid underneath. The cans they brought Straw is used for shock resistance.

However, Lu Jin was still a little worried that the bumpy road would break the jar.

"Let's go, drive slowly on the road."

"Ok."

On the return journey, the back of the truck was loaded with goods, and the remaining space for human beings was very narrow. Lu Jin and Zhang Kai could only squeeze in behind, holding the iron plate tightly with both hands to stabilize the body, so as not to be too bumpy on the road , don't let the two of them go down first before the bottle is broken.

Fortunately, Lu Enhua was a mature tractor driver, so he deliberately slowed down the speed along the way, and the driving was much smoother than when he came here.
