Old days (1o)

There must be a shortage of people in the cafeteria.

But Lin Yutong didn't plan to do it in the canteen. It's so hard to do it. In the morning, we have to prepare the meal before everyone has breakfast. There are so many big factories, we have to get up at least three or four in the morning. Even boiling water is the same. If we don't hurry up, can we get over? If we catch up with overnight shifts, we can work three shifts in other positions, but you can try the canteen?

Sleep between two meals. If you have good skills, you can make small meals for your leaders. If you do it, you will do it. If you obey orders at any time, you will have to drink until what time you spend. Who can stand it? Not to mention that only the canteen can be better in winter all year round. At other times, it is really a sweat to exchange for a meal.

She had to be too impatient to think about it, so she looked for work in the cafeteria?

She didn't come here to compete for the canteen position, but just wanted to talk to these people and build connections?

Don’t underestimate these people in the canteen. They are actually the group of people with the most people in the factory. And they are accessible to all kinds of people.

Just like now, I threw down my life and came out to catch fish.

Fish is so important? It is so important that it delays so many people's meals? It even complains that there is not enough manpower and fish. It is certain that there is not enough manpower, but, the less manpower, the more you cannot come out, right?

But they came out.

Why?

Can every employee eat the fish? No! Just those pairs of hands, how many fish can be collected? This fish must be eaten by entertaining the leaders.

In other words, they spend their energy to serve their leaders.

They can't speak, but it's possible to eavesdrop on a word. Therefore, their news must be more informative.

Originally, it was to inquire about the news in the future, so now I just called someone to say this.

But don't say it, ordinary units are still afraid of being so stubborn.

Lin Yutong was about to speak, but the older sister who was talking to her just now, known as Sister Dai, said: Whose wife is this? What are you talking about? We don’t know what kind of teacher is not a teacher. Why do you say such a comrade, speak nonsense?

Guilan was also moving quickly and said hurriedly: I have only known her for a few days, but I don’t know what the commander is not? Isn’t this what she said? As she said, she pointed to Cheng Meini, who said that they are from the same village, and they know the roots and the daughters of all the commanders were all told by her just now.

It scared Cheng Meini a little at a loss.

Sister Dai and Sister Chen, who had just spoken, looked at each other, and then Sister Chen said: What this girl meant just now is that she wanted to find a job. It's OK! Our canteen lacks two temporary workers, which costs ten yuan a month. If you two do it, then stay.

Do it! Guilan hurriedly said: It must have done it. She looked at Lin Yutong embarrassedly, smiled awkwardly, and then turned her face and said: Then do you think you still want people? This Jin Laosi family is quite capable. They can also weave mats and settle accounts very quickly. They can also pull abacus beads to buy things on the donkey cart, and she helps everyone settle accounts

After a stir, she felt sad again and wanted to pull Lin Yutong.

This person is not good or bad, he is just a person who refuses to suffer losses.

If you are calculating with her, you will lose weight. That is a little bit of temper.

Sister Dai said: It only takes two people. If you are willing to do it, you will be two. Go to the cafeteria immediately. My surname is Dai, and I said I asked you to go there. But we have to put it all in. The factory is now more than a thousand people? It is not an easy job to supply hot water for so many people. Then I will assign you two laborers, a total of four people, responsible for everyone's hot water. No problem.

Cheng Meini shook her head: No problem, no problem, I will definitely do it well.

Lin Yutong thought to himself that this leader is easy to offend? Now the workers who are starting to recruit are all formal workers. What temporary workers? That's nothing! But now they have agreed, and the leader puts on his shoes. It's really hard to say when he is a temporary worker. I won't say what the hardest and most tiring work is, and I'll just lose half of my salary in a month.

Why do you think this is a problem?

It’s not good for Lin Yutong to stay here for too long, and she won’t be able to take care of her anymore. She just said: Let’s do your best, I’ll go back first.

If you stay, what should people say to her?

I obviously wanted to inquire about the background, but it was not good to ask people to look at it. So, she avoided it.

But I didn't really go back, so what did I do?

I went to the tent set up in the square. All departments and offices were in the tents that were distributed. She either went to find the Fourth Master or wanted to be familiar with the environment. She also wanted to see if the delivery person here was here, so she had to buy some food, preferably vegetables.

As a result, when Lin Yutong arrived, there were quite a lot of family members coming. They were not satisfied with the things on the donkey cart and felt that there was nothing to pick, so they came down and touched them.

There was a big truck carrying potatoes and cabbage, and they were surrounded by now.

I don’t know if it was a staff member of the logistics and procurement department who stood in the car and shouted: Our family members should not squeeze here. The people in the car are not sold, they all go to the east, and the ones provided to the family members have been unloaded.

Lin Yutong stopped rushing, hurry up and buy more early.

When she arrived, there were really few people. She picked two cabbages, then used a bag of potatoes to buy them, and then took them over to wait for the weighing, and then gave them money.

Before the person arrived, he heard the two parties arguing.

Why?

Because I paid the seller a bill of 1,000 yuan in denomination to buy a house, and it was not enough. The man said: The man in front bought more than me, but you only received 1,200 cents and I gave 1,000 yuan. If you don’t ask me for money, you still said it’s not enough.

As a result, the quarrel started.

Lin Yutong laughed. The currency is now in chaos. Some people have silver dollars and copper coins in their houses. When G was in the Democratic Party, some people hid it secretly. Now that their families go out, they take out their money and bring them all. Some come from the border area with border tickets. They are not from the same place, but you can't ignore it. If you remember correctly, in December 1948, the first set of RMB would have been available. But the denomination is large. The smallest is one yuan, the largest is 50,000 yuan. There are also coins printed by the factory for workers in the liberated areas.

It's very difficult to convert each other. Everyone comes from all over the world and has all kinds of coins in their hands. Now that I'm here to buy vegetables, my god, how can I do it? I haven't seen some money at all. But you can't ignore it.

For example, if you take out this first version of RMB, how much does one thousand yuan cost? One hundred can be almost converted into one cent, and one thousand is equivalent to one cent.

Your cabbage is said to be two cents and five pounds, but the one who bought vegetables there was a young wife from the countryside who took 1,000 to be a rich man, but people here refused to recognize it.

I don't understand the two sides.

Lin Yutong said: Hurry up, take our factory’s own salary first.

This is right!

The young man immediately shouted: Those who bring our own money first, otherwise they won’t collect it first!

After a long quarrel, many people went back to get the money, but the rest of the progress may not be fast.

Those who come to buy vegetables are all family members, and most of the people who can come from the countryside are from the countryside. The illiterate ones account for the majority. Then you say, buy vegetables, cabbage costs two cents and five cents and two pounds, and potatoes cost five cents and two pounds.

Where can I find the dishes I choose from?

The worker occasionally puts a clove of garlic or adjusts the scale, but he doesn't understand it.

Another girl said: One is two cents and five kilograms, and the other is five cents and two kilograms. Then I will give you seven cents. Don’t care what food I put on, just let it go if I get enough seven kilograms, right?

The young man selling vegetables was stunned: It sounds like it makes sense.

He nodded, and the girl left with a bag of potatoes.

Lin Yutong said: You should chase after me quickly. You sold seven kilograms of potatoes for seven cents, how can you pay the bill when you go back?

The young man slapped his head and said, "A penny per pound of potatoes?" Ouch! He walked around! He pulled the person back quickly, and the two began to break up again.

The young man pulled Lin Yutong over, "Sister, come here to judge. Is this reasonable?

Lin Yutong sat down to scatter the abacus beads: Hu Niu himself can also use the abacus. The old man at home is a craftsman, but in fact he is also a businessman. Don’t look at the old lady, the old lady can work hard to scatter the abacus beads clearly. The old man said: I can’t read, but I can’t figure out the abacus. Therefore, the children in the family can use the abacus. Even if they don’t calculate quickly, they will definitely do it.

And what about Lin Yutong? Calculating accounts is your job, right?

Pulling the abacus beads with one hand is faster than the three or five of them.

She sat there, pulled her hands, calculated her mouth, then looked at the grocery shopping expressionlessly, signaling the young man to collect the money according to her own calculations.

This is a pretty foolish move.

In fact, those who are uneducated are a little awe of those who are educated and capable from the bottom of their hearts. When you put this attitude towards you, don’t say it’s right, they dare not question even if they are wrong.

The quarrels disappeared.

After picking vegetables and weighing them, Lin Yutong settled the score and then the young man put them aside to collect the money, and suddenly he became orderly.

Looking at the flying hands, many of the people who bought the vegetables were not in a hurry to leave, so they just put them aside to watch it.

This says: It is faster than the accounting in our village.

It's pretty accurate. Then I just said, I didn't suffer any loss by giving me a clove of garlic.

The dishes here were sold for less than two hours and they were empty.

Lin Yutong paid his money, but the young man pulled him away. Sister, come with me quickly. Our section chief has come just now and waved to me to take you over.

Looking at the "Caising and Accounting Department" branded on the tent, Lin Yutong was quite satisfied.

Now is not an era of looking for diplomas. As long as you have a skill, there is a unit willing to ask for it.

Lin Yutong actually wanted to go to the procurement department before, but let’s just catch up. Looking at these departments, which department is more comfortable than the accounting department?

But equally, this place is a relatively technical place. If you can calculate it, you can calculate it. If you can't calculate it, you can't calculate it, and you can't do it at all.

If you have skills, you are very polite.

Section Chief Yu Youguang personally welcomed him: Our department has always been short of people, and I am asking people everywhere to second a few people. But I didn’t expect that there are big experts in our factory. Look, I almost missed it! Please come in quickly.

The conversation is an old procedure. As long as you say you are willing, you will fill out the form immediately and they will immediately take it to the factory's personnel department and enter the file. At the beginning, the salary I received was more than the Fourth Master. I gave twenty-three yuan, which was three yuan more than the Fourth Master.

I agreed to go to work on time the next day. When I went out, the young man named Li Qinlao gave Lin Yutong a pig's trotter. If it weren't for Sister Lin, I wouldn't know how to end it today.

The young man not only thanked him, but also bribed Lin Yutong in advance to ask for help.

Lin Yutong knew the meaning, but when she saw the young man blushing, she generously accepted it: I will make delicious food for you tomorrow.

In fact, pig trotters are not very expensive, they are just not easy to buy.

When I lived in the military compound, there were also pig's trotters in the cafeteria, which cost nine cents a braised pig's trotter. Nowadays, people don't like to eat pig's trotters very much, and they think this thing is "dogs eat more, but people eat less". So the price is really not high. Compare that if an egg costs eight cents, you will know how valuable this thing is.

When I went back with my things, I met many families who had caught fish. The woman named Sun Xiufang, who lived behind her house. When I cleaned up the ground nest in her house, I saw Lin Yutong coming back. She also specially sent a bowl of fish with a packed meal.

Before leaving, he asked again: Seeing that Zhang Baozhu's family and Qian's women were burning hot water, saying that they were temporary workers, have you gone?

Lin Yutong said: There are only two women.
