Chapter 154 The general trend
jingle……
A bell rang.
Passionate music came from the loudspeakers, singing praises to the motherland.
Bai Baoshan took Qiao Yun out of the factory.
"Brother, what are we having for dinner?"
"Well... let's go to the vegetable market."
The car arrived in Dongdan in 20 minutes.
A complete depression.
I guess they are hoarding the goods and waiting to release them after the Chinese New Year.
Although there are not many dishes, there are quite a lot of sea fish, and the key is that they are cheap.
Went over to check out the price.
带鱼3毛5 、海蟹3毛5、 咸鱼3四4。
No tickets are required.
Hairtail fish are four fingers wide.
It looks delicious. Each crab is as big as an adult's palm. It looks alive, but a little numb from the cold.
Salted fish is just a fish I don’t know what kind of fish it is.
"Comrade, please give me five hairtail fish and these four sea crabs."
The salesperson was very efficient, weighing and packing the items.
”带鱼16斤,5块6;海蟹5斤3两,1块8毛6,同志一共7块4毛6。” 售卖员说着用宽大的芦苇叶给带鱼捆一下,海蟹用细麻绳捆住。
Qiao Yun took out some money from her small bag and counted it out, "Comrade, here's the money."
Bai Baoshan had already put the things into the bamboo basket.
I walked over to the tofu store and saw that there was still some, but the ration for this month had been used up.
I can only sigh and look at the tofu.
As for the rest, there are only radishes, cabbages, potatoes, sweet potatoes and so on. There is really nothing else.
The vegetable market did not become prosperous until around 85, when mature greenhouse cultivation appeared in the surrounding area.
Nothing to see, let’s go home.
When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Xi Luoluo and his group of people were smoking with their hands tucked in.
When Bai Baoshan arrived at the door, these people stood up.
Bai Baoshan frowned.
"Director Bai, you're back."
Bai Baoshan looked at the person who had never spoken in the courtyard. This person was from the Intermediate Court. His name was Chen Zhenbei. He was a level 3 fitter in the steel rolling mill. His wife was unemployed and his son was the same age as Qiao Yun. They were in the same school but not in the same class.
Next to him was his younger brother Chen Xingbei, who worked as a warehouse manager in the street supply and marketing cooperative, and his wife was said to be a salesperson.
What does this family want from me?
"What's matter?"
"Director Bai, it's like this, I, Chen Xingbei, work in the warehouse of the supply and marketing cooperative.
I found out something and reported the matter, but ended up offending someone.
We don’t know many people, so we have no choice but to ask you for help.”
"Well... I work at the steel rolling mill, and I'm just a canteen director. I have nothing to do with the supply and marketing cooperative. If it were people from the factory, I could still have a say, but for people from the supply and marketing cooperative, I don't have the ability or the skill to do so. So I'm sorry, I can't help you." Bai Baoshan shook his head.
"Director Bai, that person is not only trying to make my brother lose his job, but my sister-in-law's job is also being squeezed out every day.
You are a leader, you know more people than we do, please think of a way, if they both lose their jobs, how will the family survive."
“My advice is that if you really find something wrong in the warehouse, since you have reported it, you should make it bigger and get rid of those who want to deal with you.
Either everyone will be killed or the net will be broken. They are high-ranking officials and must be afraid.
You cannot be timid when encountering things. Once you report it, you must bear the consequences.
This is how it is when citizens sue officials.
Your brother has been working in the supply and marketing cooperative for quite some time, right? No one has explained the ins and outs of the business to him, or is he being used as a tool by others?
If you really say that your brother doesn't know the twists and turns here, I don't believe it.
I really can't help you with this matter, I'm sorry." Bai Baoshan pushed the cart and let a few people pass into the yard.
The clean and fair-skinned man behind them also sighed.
"Brother, it's useless. They have already patched the loophole in the warehouse. Even if we check, we won't find anything."
"What should I do? Just watch you lose your job?"
"It's okay. At worst, Xiaoting and I can apply for transfer. We can't be expelled. Even if we are transferred, it will definitely be to a remote place. I'm just worried about Hongxin. She's still young."
“Hongxin, don’t worry, your sister-in-law is fine at home, doesn’t she take care of her every day?
It's just so unclear, and I feel a little aggrieved. "
"Ah..." Several people returned to the central courtyard in low spirits.
They didn't even think about the fact that the two families had no connection at all. How could they stop the road with nothing in their hands?
It doesn't mean that you have to be polite, but at least you have to have the attitude of asking others to do something for you.
Bai Baoshan felt a little puzzled. Are all the people in the compound like this? They always come back empty-handed when they ask others to do something for them?
But when they ask others for help, they never come back empty-handed. Are they so worthless?
It’s a bunch of mess, whoever wants to take care of it can do it.
Bai Baoshan had just entered the house and sat down when the door was knocked again.
When Qiao Yun saw Bai Baoshan's expression, she ran out and opened the door.
"Brother Shouxin, is there something wrong?"
"Qiao Yun, is Director Bai home?"
"at home.
Brother, it's Brother Shouxin from the Central Court."
Bai Baoshan heard it, took a sip of water, and went to the door.
"What's up?"
"Director Bai, although I'm in the Propaganda Department, don't worry, I'll still be yours from now on." As he said that, he handed over the paper bag.
Bai Baoshan waved his hand and said, "Comrade Song Shouxin, we are all working for the development and growth of the factory. No matter where we are, we must work hard. I am the director of the cafeteria, not the director of the propaganda department. Your propaganda department director is two levels higher than me.
There is no need to engage in these empty talk, down-to-earth work is more important than anything else. You have been busy all day, go home, have a good meal and have a good rest. "
"Director Bai, this is just a small token of my appreciation. It's not worth much, so please accept it."
"Comrade Song Shouxin, this is not a question of money, this is a question of principle."
Bai Baoshan closed the door after he finished speaking.
These people are thinking of crooked ways every day. Can't they just work properly?
Eat it like hairtail fish and sea crab.
Bai Baoshan only knows how to steam.
Fried hairtail is too extravagant and may easily arouse jealousy.
Just keep dinner simple. If you can’t finish a whole hairtail fish, just eat half of it.
There are also 4 sea crabs.
By the way, cut some bacon and steam it.
Some mutton too.
There is a fat sheep and a half hanging at home.
I can’t finish it even before the Chinese New Year.
After washing it, Bai Baoshan secretly took out some steamed fish cooking wine from the space and sprinkled some on the hairtail.
I steamed another bowl of rice.
Mutton is not easy to cook, and rice also takes half an hour.
After the pan is hot for 15 minutes, put the hairtail and crab in.
Just put the lamb and rice in.
There was a knock on the door again.
Qiao Yun ran to open the door.
“Brother Damao, Sister Xiao’e.
Brother, Brother Damao and Sister Xiao'e are here."
"Let me in."
Xu Damao pulled Lou Xiao'e and carried a big bag of things.
"Hey, brother, I'm here to eat, but not for free, I brought gifts.
Authentic Daoxiangcun’s Beijing Eight Pieces.”
"Haha... just come if you want to. I won't let you in if you don't bring anything. Even so, my sister-in-law Xiao'e has to come in too." Bai Baoshan smiled at Lou Xiao'e.
Qiao Yun told her what he had done during the days he was away from home. He stayed at Lou Xiao'e's house for two days and gained some experience.
"Hehe... let's not talk about this, brother, why did Song Shouxin of the Intermediate Court go to the Propaganda Department?"
“It’s nothing, the situation is such that there’s no need for the purchasing office to stay.
The factory has a regular supply of meat, so what is the point of maintaining a purchasing office that is just for show?
These days, if you buy three to five eggs a day, what can you do with them? "
"Well, that's true. Let me tell you, the villages my brother went to were all... Hey, never mind. Let's not talk about that.
What delicious food is made.”
"Steamed hairtail, sea crab, steamed mutton, steamed bacon, and a bowl of rice.
The fact that you two are here is not enough.”
As Bai Baoshan spoke, he cut the other half of the hairtail into pieces, marinated it, and placed it on the plate.
Cut some more bacon.
There are exactly 4 sea crabs.
Bai Baoshan looked at Xu Damao. Did this guy come here because of the smell?
