60s Splendid Life

Three days later, Lu Jin brought another sum of funds from the commune, took Zhang Kai with him, and the two of them took the bus to the provincial capital together. The bus was rickety along the way, and they arrived at eight or nine o'clock in the evening. The provincial capital's station.When they came out of the station, it was already dark outside, and the people passing by were all pedestrians carrying big bags and small bags. The two of them didn't know where they lived here, and they didn't even know a single acquaintance.

Lu Jin discussed with Zhang Kai: "Let's find a guest house to live in first, and ask where the machinery factory is tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go find someone to ask, there should be a guest house nearby." Zhang Kai found the uniformed staff in the station, and found out that there was a guest house nearby, and the two of them went straight to the guest house after leaving the station went.

These days, you need your ID card and a letter of introduction to live in a hostel. Fortunately, both of you brought all kinds of documents with you when you went out, and asked for a room at the hostel with your ID card and letter of introduction.In order to save money, two people asked for a single room with only one bed in the room, but both of them felt that they were men, and it didn't matter if they lived in the same room and slept on the same bed.

"You are here, I'll go outside and ask if there is any hot water." Zhang Kai picked up the kettle and found that there was no water in it. He told Lu Jin and went out with the kettle. It didn't take long before he filled it with hot water. the kettle back.

The two of them naturally brought dry food with them when they went out. The dry food was prepared by Lu Jin, because he knew that Zhang Kai also went to the tofu shop to buy a bag of baked pancakes to eat on the way, and he didn't know that this group of educated youths went to the tofu shop every day It's been nearly two years since I ate it, so why haven't I got tired of it? If he saw it, he would feel like throwing up, so when he went out, he said he brought food, so that Zhang Kai didn't have to bring it.

After Zhang Kai went to fetch hot water and came back, Lu Jin used hot water to soak a pack of instant noodles for each of them, opened the package, put the noodle cakes into a tea mug, poured hot water, covered the lid and simmered for a while , Then lift the lid, the whole room is filled with the aroma of instant noodles.

Pushing Zhang Kai's share to the other party, Lu Jin picked up his own cup, picked up the chopsticks and took a sip. Not to mention, I haven't eaten instant noodles for a long time, and I found it to be delicious, "Eat Well, there are pancakes and eggs here." Lu Jin made the pancakes and eggs himself, and the eggs are boiled tea eggs, which taste better than boiled white eggs.

"Thank you." Neither of them had dinner yet. Zhang Kai was really hungry, so he unceremoniously took the tea mug, picked up chopsticks and started eating noodles. Seeing that there were too many eggs, he ate Unceremoniously, I put one into my tea mug, took a bite, it was really delicious, "How do you cook your eggs so delicious?"

"I just put a little spice in it and cooked it. It tastes good." Instant noodles and tea eggs are a perfect match. While eating instant noodles, Lu Jin took a bite of tea eggs and asked Zhang Kai: "If there is such a tea outside Eggs are for sale, you can take them out to eat for a few days, would you buy them and eat them?"

"I will definitely buy it, let alone take it out to eat, I want to buy a few at home and eat it slowly." Zhang Kai has money in his hand and has never treated himself badly, but the question is can he buy it outside? ?Hearing Lu Jin's mention, he thought of their purpose for coming to the provincial capital this time, and asked, "So you want to buy a machine and go back to make this kind of tea eggs?"

"I have this plan. Let's see if there is any. If we can buy a vacuum packaging machine, we can not only make tea eggs, but also make many other things." But this is one of Lu Jin's goals. In fact, he What he wants to buy most is the machinery and equipment for making instant noodles, because he knows that many people like to eat instant noodles, whether it is adults or children now or decades later, not to mention that in this era of scarcity of materials, it is convenient to face many people. They are all luxury goods. If they can produce instant noodles, there is no need to worry about the sales, but he is afraid that this machine will not be easy to buy.

The two had dinner in the room, went to the public bathroom to take a shower, and then went back to the room to sleep.

The guest house near the train station is probably full of people, people come and go, the sanitation is not very good, the room smells musty, and the quilt does not look very clean. Fortunately, the weather in May is already hot , They opened the windows at night, and they would not feel cold without a quilt at night. Lu Jin was covered with his own coat, and Zhang Kai even fell asleep without a coat.

The two of them slept until dawn the next day. Hearing the sounds on the road, Lu Jin was the first to wake up, and Zhang Kai got up as soon as he moved.

"Good morning." Zhang Kai sat up and yawned, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

"Morning." Lu Jin was bending over to put on his shoes, and said to the person who was still sitting on the bed: "I'm going to the toilet, and you get up and clean up too. Let's go downstairs to find a place to have breakfast, and then ask the machinery factory where to go. Where do we go, we have a lot of things to do today."

"Well, I know, I got up too." Zhang Kai yawned again and got off the bed to put on his shoes.

After the two of them washed up, they left the room together. When they went out to check out, Lu Jin asked the staff of the guest house how to get to the provincial machinery factory. Take a ride and write it down, and after thanking the other party, the two of them left the guest house.

Compared with places in the countryside, it is more convenient to find a place to eat here in the provincial capital. There is a state-run restaurant not far from the guest house. In the morning, buns and soy milk are sold at the entrance of the restaurant. Many people passing by buy them. The two also bought a steamed stuffed bun and soy milk each, and after finishing eating by the side of the road, they found the bus stop and boarded a bus to the provincial machinery factory.

The two asked people all the way and found the entrance of the machinery factory. It happened that they came earlier. Seven or eight o'clock in the morning is the time for workers to go to work. Groups of men and women wearing blue overalls, or walking together in twos and threes , or go in by bicycle.

However, other people went into the factory smoothly wearing overalls. The two of them saw that it was impossible for people from other places to get in. They could only get in through regular channels.

"Hi, sir, how long have you been working here? Do you know the person in charge of the factory? We are from Qingcheng Town Food Processing Factory. I want to come to you to buy some machines. I don't know where to find you. Which person in charge will buy it?" Lu Jin smiled and asked the gatekeeper.

It can be said that he is a person who stretches out his hand without hitting a smiley face. When the uncle saw the two young boys with delicate features and beautiful features, they smiled again. He wanted to use you as soon as he opened his mouth. You are asking the right person. I have worked in this factory for more than [-] years, and there is no leader in this factory that I do not know. Well, this one is Director Liu, the leader of our factory. Ask him." As he spoke, the uncle helped to stop Director Liu.

"Uncle Huang, what's the matter with calling me?" Director Liu was riding a bicycle and was about to enter the door. The young man he knew took a look and asked, "Who are these two?"

"They said they were looking for you." Uncle Huang couldn't remember where the young man said they came from for a while, but only remembered that they were here to buy things.

"Hi, Director Liu. My name is Lu Jin. This is Zhang Kai. We are from Qingcheng Town. Our factory needs some equipment. I heard that the Provincial Machinery Factory has a complete range of machinery and equipment. We just want to come here to have a look." Is there any equipment we want to buy?" Lu Jin not only introduced their names and where they came from, but also flattered the provincial machinery factory.

It’s not that there’s a saying that’s very good, it’s true that people like to listen to good words, and those who are in the leadership are no exception.

This Director Liu looks to be in his forties, which is quite young for a leader.

Director Liu is not tall, with a Chinese character face and dark skin. He is also polite to the gatekeeper. He is a person of good quality at first glance. His attitude towards the two young people who said they came to their machinery factory to buy things It was kind, so he let out an oh, and asked, "I don't know what kind of factory you are, and what equipment do you need?"

"Our factory is a new food processing factory. We don't have any equipment yet. We need a lot of equipment. If our provincial machinery factory has them, the price is right. We want to buy a few more. I don't know. Director Liu, your current time is inconvenient, why don't we go in and have a detailed talk?" Lu Jin didn't say what equipment they need, or else they didn't even enter the gate of the machinery factory when they said no. was driven away.Since they have come all the way to find this place, they definitely can't return empty-handed. Even if it's something they don't have, as long as the machinery factory can produce it, they can order it for money, right?

Of course, it would be the best if they have it, because the price of things ordered by money is generally not too cheap. They are so poor now, they must not be able to order too expensive equipment.

Seeing the other party looking towards him, Zhang Kai smiled and nodded.

"Okay, you can come to the office to talk with me." Director Liu glanced at the two of them, and then asked Uncle Huang if he needed to register here.

Uncle Huang said that he wanted to write a name, so he took a notebook and signed it for two people before letting them in.

Director Liu pushed his bicycle ahead and motioned for two people to follow him.

Along the way, I met people in the factory saying hello to Director Liu. It can be seen that this Director Liu should have a high position in the factory. Anyone who sees him will say hello to Director Liu.Some people looked at the two strangers curiously, but now it was time to go to work, and everyone was rushing to work, so these people all hurried away after saying hello to Director Liu.
