Shanghai is prosperous

Chapter 327 Buy Stewed Fish

It was almost five o'clock in the evening when Wang Liping came out of the flower baking factory.As soon as she walked outside the factory building from the warm flower baking workshop, she was suddenly surrounded by bursts of cold, and Wang Liping couldn't help shivering several times.

In winter in the north, it usually gets dark earlier.Tightening the clothes on her body, she looked up, the night sky seemed to have been washed, without a trace of cloud and mist, and a few small stars were scattered scattered on the cold sky, but they were all gray and not very bright.

On winter nights here, the sky looks clearer and clearer than in Shanghai, and it is also higher.Going forward, the dew floats on the ground, and you can feel the refreshing chill on your legs.

Wang Liping shrank her head, took out her mobile phone from her pocket and called Li Guanglin, but no one answered the call.

Maybe it's because Da Li is coming this way, it's inconvenient to answer the phone while riding a bike?After thinking about it, she decided to wait for him on the main road outside the factory.

The place where the flower baking factory is located used to be a large state-owned building materials factory, but it was closed down because of bankruptcy.The baked flower factory is at the innermost, and it takes a lot of time to walk to the gate.

The whole factory area is gloomy, and there are few street lights. There are only one or two lighted electric lights at the gates of each small factory.Wang Liping breathed on her hands non-stop, while speeding up her pace and walking out.

After leaving the gate of the factory area, it is the trail leading to the Gangyao Road Post Office.If there is time, Wang Liping will usually join Li Guanglin here.

There are many snack bars on this trail, and the two of them can eat here before going home.Of course, because of the large flow of people, there are often stalls selling vegetables here at night.If the occasional mood comes up, the two of them can also buy some side dishes here and cook at home.

During this period of time, because the weather was getting colder, Li Guanglin would drive his motorcycle directly into the flower baking factory to pick her up.But today was different. For some unknown reason, Wang Liping suddenly drank radish pork rib soup, so she came out 10 minutes earlier than usual, ready to go to the roadside to buy vegetables.

While picking out big radishes, a semi-new motorcycle stopped beside Wang Liping with a squeak.She knew that it was Li Guanglin who came to look for her, so she continued to choose without stopping.

Li Guanglin parked the car, took off his helmet and hung it on the handlebar, and said loudly, Li, don't pick and choose, why don't we just eat something here and then go home?
Wang Liping turned around, smiled at Li Guanglin, and said, go over there and buy some ready-made stewed vegetables, and I will make radish soup when I go home, and it will be very fast.go quickly.

After buying side dishes, Wang Liping went to the next stall to buy some steamed buns and some flower rolls.She looked forward and saw that Li Guanglin was negotiating with the owner of a cooked food stall in front of him.

She walked over quickly and saw that it was a temporary small stall selling stewed fish.When I asked, it turned out that Li Guanglin fell in love with the stewed fish here. After tasting it, he thought it tasted good and wanted to buy more, so he asked the stall owner to make it cheaper.But the stall owner insisted that a fish was 15 yuan, no matter how many fish he wanted, the price would not drop.

Knowing the reason for the dispute between the two parties, Wang Liping said with a smile, "Boss, why don't you do this, and I don't ask you to lower the price anymore. If you give us more yellow sauce, it's okay after all, right?"
The boss is a middle-aged man, wearing work clothes, well-groomed and clean, and wearing glasses. He looks like an intellectual, and he doesn't look like the kind of small boss who has been a street vendor for a long time.

Seeing what Wang Liping said, he immediately agreed heartily, laughed loudly and said, hehe, it's still a big girl who is easy to talk to.Well, let's give you some more yellow sauce. It's all homemade. It tastes delicious.

Wang Liping smiled and said, brother doesn't seem to be a businessman?
The middle-aged man coughed, and said with a little embarrassment, um, in fact, I was also laid off from the ceramics factory.This year's pottery work is not good, and I didn't earn much money, so if I have time, I usually cook some fish at home in the afternoon, and set up a stall at night to earn a little pocket money to subsidize the family.

Li Guanglin asked, where are you from?

The middle-aged man replied that these are fish from the reservoir.A relative of mine came to the urban area from the reservoir over there specializing in the live fish business, and I specially mixed them out of his fish.Hehe, stewed fish is very hard. Selling a fish for 15 yuan, even if the cost is taken into account, is actually not much profit.

Wang Liping smiled and said, Master, what's your surname?
The middle-aged man smiled and said, hehe, they are all ordinary people, so you don’t need to be expensive. My surname is Hao.

Wang Liping picked up the spoon, scooped up a spoonful of fish soup from the cauldron, put it into her mouth, and smashed it several times.

She said, oh, it's Master Hao.The taste of your fish is not bad, it has the flavor of our Northeast Nagada.In this way, you leave me a phone number, if I want to eat, I will call you, is that okay?

Master Hao smiled, yes, yes.He gave the phone number to Wang Liping.

Wang Liping saved the mobile phone number in the mobile phone, and said, what did Master Hao do in the ceramic factory before?
Master Hao said, hehe, after I graduated from the Light Industry School, I have been working in the Sixth Porcelain Factory, and later became the director of the firing workshop.Now a private company over there in Kaiping manages the workshop, and this year's export is not good, so it is only half a shift now.

Li Guanglin asked, Master Hao, do you do the firing, specifically plain firing or glaze firing?
Master Hao replied that when he was in Six Porcelain Factory, he mainly did biscuit firing. Later, when he went to the factory in Kaiping, the division of labor was not so detailed. Biscuit firing and glaze firing were also available, and even the baking of flowers was under my management.However, electric kilns are mainly used now, which is somewhat different from the natural gas used in the past.

Wang Liping asked casually, how old is Master Hao this year?
Master Hao said, I am almost 45.I have been working in the ceramic industry for 20 years since I joined Liuci Factory at the age of 25.

Li Guanglin couldn't help but said, after so many years, Master Hao must be very skilled.

Master Hao said, hehe, I think it’s okay to make ceramics.If you think about it for so many years, no matter how stupid you are, you can still see it.Besides, making ceramics now is not like before. All aspects of technology, division of labor and classification are much simpler and more convenient than before.

Wang Liping smiled and said, "We also make ceramics. If you have any questions in the future, you must ask Master Hao for advice."

Master Hao said, it’s not enough to ask for advice, let’s learn from each other.It's just that the entire ceramic industry is still not particularly prosperous now. I didn't expect that as I got old, my job would become less and less secure.
