Chapter 170 Taking Popsicles

Once the license is issued, tool preparation is officially on the agenda, and it needs to work overtime to complete it as soon as possible.

Zhang Qingzhi took the task and started to work.

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains depends on the water to drink water, and the workers in the factory rely on the factory for anything.

Popsicle carts, welded in the factory.Boxes, nailed in the factory.

This is a common phenomenon, there is no right or wrong.

For the entire generation of workers in Benxi Iron and Steel, if you carefully calculate the various living tools and materials that each worker makes with the things in the factory and the materials they take home, it is estimated to be an astronomical figure.

Reinforced iron pipes, iron plates, galvanized plates, wood belts, ranging from wall cabinets to shoe racks, railings, and washboards.Needless to say, other paint gloves, hats and masks.

Hundreds of thousands of workers.

Popsicle carts, wooden boxes, small quilts, everything is ready.

Liu Guixin sewed the white coat and hat by himself.At this time, there is a requirement that selling popsicles must wear clothes and hats like doctors.

There is also an apron with a string of pockets on the chest, which is used to hold small change.In this era, steel rollers are still widely used and are the mainstream currency among the people.

Liu Guixin took the certificate from the street, went to the People's Bank to exchange 20 yuan coins, and came back for pocket money.

At this moment in 81, there were only Bank of China, the Agricultural Bank of China and the People's Construction Bank of China.

The Bank of China manages foreign currency, the Agricultural Bank manages agricultural funds, and China Construction Bank manages construction funds, all of which are not open to ordinary people.

The storage business is the People's Bank of China, which is not yet the later manager.

Everything is ready, Liu Guixin is full of fighting spirit and energy.

There is just one thing that is dissatisfied. The small cart that Zhang Qingzhi welded is square enough to hold a box of popsicles. It cannot be fitted with big wheels, so I had to install four small rubber wheels.

It is about ten centimeters in diameter, and it is cut out with a steel wire belt. It is definitely durable, but it has no elasticity, which makes the cart a bit heavy and laborious to push.

Really can't find a suitable small pneumatic tire.

The procedures are completed, the tools are ready, and the next step is to load the goods.

"You don't have to worry about it, I can do it myself, and it's not too far away." Liu Guixin wiped the inside and outside of the popsicle box clean, put the small quilts neatly inside, and watched happily speak.

"But pull it down. It's a few kilometers longer, and you have to climb a big slope. How close is it? Let me go with you, and let the child help you when you get familiar with it. You can't do it alone, so don't get tired."

"Waiting for you? You have to go to work, and you can still accompany me every day? It won't be the case sooner or later, forget it, don't worry about it."

"Don't delay, you have to get up early to get the popsicles. I'll help you get them back and set up a stall before going to work. I'll get up and make dinner. After you finish eating, let's push the popsicles. When I come back, I'll fix the three of them and go to school before going to work. "

"Oh, what about the third child? Can he do it alone at home?"

"..., how do we do it? How about asking Mrs. Sun to take care of it for a few days?"

"It's not a matter of a day or two. After picking up the popsicles, you can send him to my stall. I will take him with me, and it won't affect the sales."

"Alright. How about the kids for lunch?"

Liu Guixin stretched out his hand and pinched Zhang Qingzhi: "Why don't you ask me what I do for lunch?"

Zhang Qingzhi hid for a while with a smile: "Aren't you guarding the grain station? You'll have to deal with it at noon, fried dough sticks and twists. After I'm done, I'll go to the factory to make arrangements. I won't bring any food in the future. I'll come back at noon to get you some food." deliver.

The third child will follow you, and the eldest and second child will ask them to eat at your stall after school at noon. "

"It will cost money." Liu Guixin hesitated.

"You earn more than you spend. Let's talk about it first, let's see the situation when we get to work, there is always a way."

"Well. I hope we will go well, don't worry about it." Liu Guixin leaned into Zhang Qingzhi's arms.

"Mom, I want to pee, what are you doing? Oh hahaha, Mom, you are so ashamed to lie in my father's arms. What are you doing in my father's arms?" The third child woke up and sat up, seeing the two Individual hugs.

Liu Guixin blushed, pushed Zhang Qingzhi away and took a canned bottle to the side to catch the third child's urine: "You are so lenient, and you can take care of adults."

The third child rubbed his eyes and peed: "Hmph, don't hug me, hug my dad."

Liu Guixin was a little ashamed and angry when his son saw it, so he raised his hand and slapped the third child on the ass: "What's the matter? You still want to turn the world upside down?"

Zhang Qingzhi stood up: "Lie down too, I'll get the pig food."

"Together?"

"No, you are not a stove. Go to sleep and get up early tomorrow."

……

Early the next morning, after four o'clock, Zhang Qingzhi, who went to bed after twelve o'clock, quietly got up, got dressed, washed up and started to make breakfast.

After breakfast was ready, Liu Guixin was quietly woken up, and the two of them squatted in the kitchen and had a bite, sealed the stove, put the food in the steamer on the stove, and went out.

It's not yet bright, and it's foggy, and you can see white when you breathe.Cool morning.

"Will you wear more clothes?" Zhang Qingzhi looked at Liu Guixin.

"No, just go for a walk, or you'll have to take it off soon." Liu Guixin tightened his clothes.The temperature difference between day and night in the Northeast is too great.

The two of them closed the door, came out and pushed the brand new popsicle cart on the road.

"You said that it took a lot of effort to make this thing? Why didn't you try to get some inflatables?"

"Let's make it together. I can't find a suitable one for a while. How can the factory have such a big wheel? I will change it later when I have it."

Pushing is indeed quite strenuous, since the road surface is not hardened dirt.

"If it rains a little, it may not be able to push."

Zhang Qingzhi was pushing the cart, while Liu Guixin was walking beside him, muttering.

"I'll push, okay?" Zhang Qingzhi promised with a smile.

The way out of the house is a steep path, and the popsicle cart cannot be pushed up. It has to go around between the dormitory and the army compound. Although this side is also a slope, it is a hardened driveway.

The two of them worked together to push the popsicle cart uphill, but Zhang Qingzhi didn't make a sound, it was indeed a bit strenuous.

Passing by the gate of the factory, pushing the dirt road on the edge of the ground, it is much easier to wait until the asphalt road below.

From Guo's house, follow the Shendan road all the way to the popsicle factory in Jieli, Nanfen Town, and drive for nearly four kilometers.

Sweat was already on Zhang Qingzhi's forehead, and the front of his clothes was opened, and Liu Guixin was also hot all over after walking all the way.

After going through the formalities, paying the money, and then waiting for the baskets of popsicles to be pushed out at the small shipping window, they are neatly stacked into boxes covered with popsicle paper, and then carefully covered with a small quilt and tucked tightly .

Popsicles cost two cents sixty-five cents a popsicle, and sell for three cents.One earns three cents and five cents.

The first time I didn’t dare to buy more, I heard that the workers of the popsicle factory opened [-] popsicles, and they could earn two yuan and ten cents if they sold them. After deducting the expenses, they could earn almost two months’ wages of Zhang Qingzhi.

After Liu Guixin calculated this account, he began to be happy with the popsicles.

With popsicles installed, it was more difficult to push the trolley, but both of them were full of energy, and the push was even easier than when they came here.

"Can it be sold out?" Zhang Qingzhi asked after walking back for a while.He was a little worried.

"Yes. Certainly."
