Chapter 75 Rules for traveling to the capital

"It's all for my colleagues to buy things. The old rules are that people who come to Beijing on business trips are responsible for purchasing for everyone. I'm just taking fewer people. In the past, our colleagues came to Beijing and carried 23 bags when they went back." Feng Fei said with a smile.

"Why do I think this seems to be noodles?" Feng Xiaochen said.

The travel bags are neatly packed, aren’t they just the noodles sold on the market? In the late 1980s, people who went abroad brought a whole suitcase of instant noodles, but they were going abroad after all. This second uncle ran to the capital and carried a bag of them thousands of kilometers away. No, Feng Fei said just now that he had more than 20 bags of noodles back. Are you planning to open a store?

Seeing that his nephew felt it was fresh, Feng Fei simply opened the travel bag and showed it to Feng Xiaochen. It was a total of forty or fifty tubes of noodles. In addition, there were sausages, canned lunch meat, candies, biscuits, etc. The grades of the things were not too high. At least Feng Xiaochen did not see chocolate in it, but the number was amazing, which was simply the rhythm of moving the side food company.

"What are you doing when you buy such noodles, and sausages?" Feng Xiaochen asked.

Feng Fei sighed softly and said, "It's not possible to buy it from us. Our factory is dozens of kilometers away, with a population of less than 500, but we are a large factory with more than 2,000 people. Even the family members have four or five thousand people, and they can't buy things even if they have money. Fortunately, we often go out on business trips, so this rule has been formed. People on business trips are responsible for bringing things to others."

Feng Xiaochen felt a little distressed. He had heard people talk about these things Feng Fei said in later generations, but they were all taken as stories. How could he feel like this now? He pulled the things in his travel bag and asked, "Is this what you usually eat?"

Feng Fei said: "I can't bear to eat this on weekdays. Sometimes it's too late to work overtime and I cook it for lunch. As for sausages and lunch meat, it's mainly for the children at home. You see, I bought this for myself, and I let your younger brother eat it when I go back, but we adults are reluctant to eat it."

Feng Xiaochen said, "Second uncle, then you can buy more. If the money is not enough, I still have some money. If you buy a large bag of sausages, won’t the whole family be able to eat it? You and my second aunt are both middle-aged and need to strengthen their nutrition."

Feng Fei patted Feng Xiaochen's head and smiled and said, "Your aunt and I are nutritious enough. We both raise chickens and can eat eggs every one or two days. The main reason is that Lin Tao is growing, so he has to eat more."

"Second uncle, don't be polite to me." Feng Xiaochen said. As he said that, he was going to pay money from his pocket. He is now a big money. The foreign exchange exchange for Liu Yanping and others is worth more than 4,000 yuan. Liu Yanping did not let him suffer a loss. Compared with the price of the domestic black market, he gave him more than 2,000 yuan, which almost made Feng Xiaochen become a household in 10,000 yuan. This time he went to the city to see Feng Fei. Feng Xiaochen was preparing to invite Feng Fei to dinner, so he had more than 200 yuan in his pocket. If he used it to buy sausages or something, he could buy a lot.

Feng Fei held Feng Xiaochen's hand and said, "Xiaochen, be obedient! Actually, I also brought money with me when I came out this time, but it's useless to have money. I have to have meat tickets to buy these meat products. I bought these with the help of the comrades in the department. I couldn't buy any more."

"Meat ticket?" Feng Xiaochen was stunned. Of course he understood this thing, but after he arrived in the capital, he had never seen meat tickets. This was not that the Metallurgical Bureau deducted his meat tickets, but because they were single employees in the canteen, the meat tickets were collected by the canteen. His mind was not fully adapted to the lifestyle of the era of shortage of materials. He always thought that he could buy things with money, but he forgot that there was such a big killer as meat tickets.

"Okay, Xiaochen, I'll take your kindness. Let's go out for dinner. I'll tell you, you are not allowed to rush to pay. I'm your uncle, and there's no reason to ask you to pay me for dinner." Feng Fei said, pulling Feng Xiaochen out. He was very pleased that his nephew had the same behavior as before.

When he came back to the capital, he called Feng Xiaochen to meet him. He just wanted to see his nephew, and even had the idea of ​​giving him a red envelope for a while. He never thought about asking his nephew to do anything. In his opinion, it was not easy for Feng Xiaochen to be noticed by the leaders of the capital and to be transferred to the capital. After he came, he must have been doing errands at the unit. He is the lowest-level employee. What energy can he have to help him?

Feng Xiaochen felt that he was in a state of confusion, not only for Feng Fei, but also for the thousands of employees and family members of the factory in the deep mountains. Indeed, people's lives were not luxurious at that time, but these people were even more miserable.

These are a group of people hiding in the mountains to forge swords. Shouldn’t they enjoy more benefits than others?

"Uncle Second, can you call me? I'll call my unit." Feng Xiaochen asked Feng Fei as he walked down the stairs.

"Why, do you want to ask for leave from the unit?" Feng Fei asked back, "Didn't you ask for leave before you came out?"

Feng Xiaochen shook his head, Feng Fei stopped asking, pointed to the service desk with his hand and said, "There is a phone number there, you can call first, the phone bill will be counted in my room price."

Feng Xiaochen naturally didn't care about making a phone call. He walked to the waiter, picked up the phone, and dialed the number of the Metallurgical Bureau's office.

"Hey, I'm Xiao Feng, is Director Liu here?" Feng Xiaochen said to the receiver.

After a while, Liu Yanping's voice sounded: "Hey, Xiao Feng, what's wrong?"

"Sister Liu, I have something here. I don't know if I can trouble Sister Liu." Feng Xiaochen said. This is the first time he has called Liu Yanping Liu Sister Liu. Such things can only play the emotional card.

When Liu Yanping heard this, she felt a little stern, but her mouth became sweeter: "Oh, Xiao Feng, look at what you said. If you have anything to do, just say it. For your Sister Liu, why don't you say it's troublesome?"

"Sister Liu, that's it." Feng Xiaochen said, "When I came out in the morning, didn't you tell you that I went to the city to see my second uncle? My second uncle works in a third-tier enterprise in Qingdong Province, where the working conditions are very difficult. My second uncle wants to bring some meat products back from the capital, such as sausages, canned lunch meat, etc."

"It's so good. Xiaochen, the comrades in third-tier enterprises are indeed very hard." Liu Yanping echoed loudly.

Feng Xiaochen said: "Yes, I think so too. But my second uncle came to Beijing and didn't have meat tickets from Beijing, so he couldn't buy these meat products..."

"This is simple." Liu Yanping quickly took over the conversation, "I'll contact him for how much meat products your second uncle plans to buy. I know a manager of a side food company, who has some mobility indicators. It is also reasonable to support third-tier companies. I'll tell him that there should be no problem."

People who are office directors have always been powerful, which is why Feng Xiaochen asked Liu Yanping for help. In addition, this time in Germany, he took 5,000 marks of foreign exchange for Liu Yanping to distribute it. This is a huge favor for her. Now it is time to take back the emotional investment. People like this focus on reciprocity. If you just give the other party benefits but don’t ask the other party to do things, the other party will feel uneasy.

Feng Xiaochen has been thinking about asking Liu Yanping to help him, but he is a bachelor, and his family is not hungry alone. He really can't find anything to bother Liu Yanping. Now that he is encountering Feng Fei's incident, he can naturally ask Liu Yanping for help, and I think Liu Yanping will not refuse.

"Uncle Second, if there is a way, how many sausages and cans are you going to buy?" Feng Xiaochen asked Feng Fei with his phone receiver covered.

When Feng Xiaochen called just now, Feng Fei stood beside him. He heard him whispering "Sister Liu" and didn't know what Feng Xiaochen was Feng Xiaochen's kid. When Feng Xiaochen asked him to buy meat products, Feng Fei wanted to dissuade him, but because Feng Xiaochen was calling, he was not inconvenient to interrupt. Now when Feng Xiaochen asked him, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Xiaochen, you don't need to get involved in this matter. You just arrived at a new unit, so I would like to ask my colleagues to help you, which is not good for your future development."

Feng Xiaochen smiled and said, "Second uncle, don't worry. The person I begged for is not an ordinary colleague, but our office director and a department-level cadre. Do you think I will beg her casually? I told you that she will naturally have reasons to help me with things. I will have a way to repay the favors in the future. Don't you believe in your nephew's ability?"

I really don't believe it... Feng Fei muttered in his heart. He wanted to say something, but when he saw Feng Xiaochen's calm look, he couldn't help but feel moved: Xiaochen has grown up a lot, and he doesn't seem so childish.

Thinking of this, he stopped the dissuasion and said, "If your director can help buy ten or eight pounds, it would be the best. There are also some colleagues in the factory who take good care of us on a lot, so they have to give them some when they go back."

"Ten pounds and eight pounds?" Feng Xiaochen curled his lips. My nephew, I have been betrayed a lot. I don't want to lose money if Liu Yanping called me, just make 10 pounds and eight pounds of sausage? He ignored Feng Fei, let go of his hand covering the microphone, and said to Liu Yanping:

"Sister Liu, my second uncle means that the more you have, it's better. Their place is dozens of kilometers away from the county town, and there is no one to buy anything in the county town, so I pointed to the Beijing city to buy something back and deal with it for half a year. He couldn't just take it for himself on this trip. There are leaders in the factory, the factory director, secretary, department leader, right..."
