Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 1018 Barbecue

Speaking of Song Silang, several others immediately became interested.

One said: "Don't underestimate Song Silang, he is living a comfortable life now! He eats chicken, duck and fish every day, and instead of drinking local wine, he drinks bottled wine from the supply and marketing cooperative. What does he have? Skill? It’s just marrying a wife who can make money.”

Another said: "It is Song Silang's ability to marry a good wife. Otherwise, why would Third Sister Xi look down on you? Song Silang has a fat head and pink face. He has a face like a crown jade, eyes like shooting stars, and a belly." He has a good figure with a wolf waist, and a woman will fall in love with him."

"Well, actually speaking of it, Sister Xi, apart from being a bit fatter, is actually pretty good." Another person drank tea and shook his head.

The previous one said: "Hey, seeing how well Song Silang is doing, even you are tempted."

After saying that, he laughed.

Due to limited means, the textile factory looks like a large factory on the surface, with unified procurement and marketing, and unified external management. But in fact, the company is divided into branch factories with about a thousand employees, which are managed separately. Each branch factory has several particularly important leaders internally, who are responsible for worker production management, technical management, factory housekeeping, and worker logistics management. Sister Xi moved from Xiangyang to Luoyang with the factory. She worked hard and worked hard. Now she is the leader of production management of a factory, earning more than ten thousand dollars a month.

These are cadres who have been promoted bit by bit from the lowest level and play an important role in management. If they can get a salary of more than ten thousand dollars a month, they are very satisfied and work hard.

The management of these factories cannot copy the officialdom and has its own management logic. When Wang Xiaolie spoke, he often used words that were used by later generations. Gradually, words such as leader and cadre, which were common in later generations, penetrated into factory management.

"cadre" is originally a Japanese word, which was borrowed from Chinese. Leadership is a word created by Chinese people in later generations based on the meaning of words commonly used in the world to adapt to the new situation. These words are widely used, which shows that the Chinese system lacks similar words. Introduce Chinese to adapt to the new management system.

While the three people were laughing, suddenly a person came into the teahouse. He said loudly: "In the freight yard in the north of the city, there are two hundred loads of goods that need to be unloaded. One load of goods is ten cents, and whoever arrives first gets paid first."

The three people quickly stood up from their seats, raised their hands and said, "I'm going, I'm going!"

The person who came in glanced at the people in the teahouse, then led the three people and strode away.

Lu Yihao said to Li Guang: "A load of goods costs ten cents. The stevedores here are very expensive."

Li Guangdao: "There are many factories here, and there must be a lot of goods needed. With more work, the price of unloading goods will inevitably rise."

Lu Yihao turned his head, looked around, and said: "We passed through four cities just now, and they all have the same layout. How many factories are there in this area!"

Zeng Mao said: "According to Chen Qiudao, there are more than a dozen large factories here with 60,000 to 70,000 employees. If their families are included, there are at least 100,000 people. Currently, Xuanfu Division is building some factories that require male workers. factories to complement the textile mills.”

Lu Yihao said: "It's a pity that I don't know how much the Xuanfu Department charges in each factory. I think it should be indispensable. Just these factories, how much money does it give to the Xuanfu Department every year! Wang Xiaolie is in Luoyang, and he does not need any money or food from the court to support 300,000 people. Bing, it’s really incredible!”

After saying that, I looked at the pedestrians in twos and threes on the street, feeling very emotional.

There are not many people on the street, that's because the people working are in the factories, and they are busy from morning to night. How much food can a place with more than 100,000 people, equivalent to a state, provide each year? I dare not even think about it. The three of them sat in the teahouse until the sun was about to set before they got up and left. The factories are about to get off work one after another, and there are more and more pedestrians on the street, which adds some life. Following the flow of people, the three of them came to Luoshui.

At this time, the Luoshui shore was already bustling with people, barbecue stalls were set up one after another, and black smoke was rising from the charcoal fires.

Lu Yihao was surprised: "There are so many people on the shore of Luoyang! Maybe this is the fireworks that Chen Qiudao said."

There is an avenue near the shore of Luoshui, and both sides of the avenue are crowded with stalls. In addition to the barbecue stalls that are found every few steps, there are others selling clothes, shoes, socks, children's entertainment, and adults' entertainment. The stall owners shouted loudly, creating a lively scene.

After watching for a while, Lu Yihao said: "The night market here is ten times more lively than at noon! There are many more vendors, and more importantly, here are barbecue vendors, not snack vendors at noon. A barbecue meal costs a lot of money. That’s a lot.”

On a whim, he said to Li Guang and Zeng Mao: "It's not getting too late, how about we have a meal?"

The three of them walked along the bank of the Luo River and looked at the names of the barbecue stalls. They were nothing more than "Li's BBQ", "Zhang's BBQ" and the like. Not far away, he saw a barbecue stall called "Human Fireworks". Lu Yihao smiled and said: "This one is owned by Xuanfusi. It is said to be delicious and attract many customers. Let's eat here."

The "Human Fireworks" was surrounded by tarpaulins in winter. Now that it is mid-spring, many of the tarpaulins have been removed, leaving only a few rooms.

The three of them approached the barbecue stall, and a boy hurriedly greeted them. He said: "Guys, hurry up and sit inside. What do you want to eat tonight?"

Lu Yihao asked: "What are you good at? It's our first time in Luoyang and we came here because of its reputation."

The boy hurriedly said: "The most famous one is the grilled fish here. We caught about three kilograms of catfish and kept it in a clear pond for a month. It is absolutely clean. Others such as roasted lamb loin and roasted mutton are famous, fresh and tender. It’s delicious. If you want to eat shabu-shabu, there are tripe shabu-shabu and tofu skin shabu-shabu, which are all old techniques.”

Lu Yihao said to Li Guang: "This barbecue restaurant has been open for less than two years at most, so it can be said that it has old skills."

Go to the Luo River and sit down in a small pavilion surrounded by bamboos. Lu Yihao and others ordered a grilled catfish, three skewers of grilled lamb loin, thirty skewers of grilled lamb skewers, and fifty skewers of boiled beef tripe. Li Guang smiled and said: "I've eaten enough, but I'm afraid I won't be able to eat anymore."

The waiter took the menu and ran quickly to inform the chef. Fortunately, there are not many people now, and the food is served quickly.

Lu Yihao said: "This place is on the shore of Luoshui River, and the scenery is great. To open a shop here, the owner is really good at choosing a place."

At this time, the painting boat on the shore of Luoshui raised its anchor and sailed into the middle of the water. Under the moonlight, it looks like a fairyland. The sound of silk and bamboo came in waves, which was pleasant to the ear.

Lu Yihao sighed: "It is said that the people who work in the factory are rude and unmannered. Look at the place where they eat, but the environment is quiet. Stop talking about being rude and unmannered!"
