I am Fugui

Chapter 260
After the deputy directors left, Xu Fugui sat on the soft sofa, smoking a cigarette, and fell into deep thought again.

Pig farming is a long-term plan, and it may not be realized. If you want to improve the food in the canteen in the short term, you have to think of other ways.

With the current funding of the cafeteria, there seems to be only one way, that is to spend the same money to buy more ingredients, especially meaty ingredients.

However, the prices of food ingredients in the capital city are basically unchanged. If you want cheap goods, the best way is to go to the countryside or other places.

Other areas are too far away, and Xu Fugui doesn't know the corresponding situation, so the best way is to go to the countryside.

In this way, not only can the food in the canteen be improved, but it can also bring income to the countryside, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

With an idea in mind, Xu Fugui first typed up a few reports by himself, and then approved the note himself. He can decide this kind of thing by himself, no need.

Afterwards, he called some temporary workers from the cafeteria, and in groups of two, starting tomorrow, they will go to various villages to buy ingredients, especially meat and eggs, and they must buy more.

On the second day, Xu Fugui had nothing to do, took Deputy Director He and two staff members, wearing a neat Chinese tunic suit, and drove towards a place called Dachi Village by bicycle.

"Director, it stands to reason that at your level, you can be equipped with a jeep. Why don't you apply to the higher-ups?" Deputy Director He probably understood his temper, and asked half seriously and half jokingly.

Shougang Plant is a big factory, even if it is only a department director, its level is similar to that of the director or deputy director of other factories.

Therefore, the department director is fully qualified to apply for a jeep, but the jeep is a rare commodity, and the application requirements are very strict.

Not only enough levels, but enough relationships and achievements.

Of these, relationships are the most important.

It's not that Xu Fugui never thought about applying for a jeep, but as a newcomer, it would be too publicized if he applied for a jeep.

At present, there are only three jeeps in the entire Shougang factory, which belong to the factory director Zuo Shanhe, and there are also the director of the technical department and the director of the security department.

Because these two subjects are easy to score, the application report is naturally easy to approve.

Xu Fugui felt that if he wanted to apply for a jeep, he still needed to settle down.

Anyway, he is not in a hurry, a bicycle is usually enough.

The bicycles of this era are different from those of the later generations. What is emphasized is that they are practical and durable. Whether it is carrying people or carrying objects, they cannot be compared with the bicycles of later generations.

These are Xu Fugui's true inner thoughts, but he said on the surface: "I am the director of the logistics department, how can I use a jeep? Isn't this a waste of social resources."

Deputy Director He glanced at him in surprise, and then said sincerely: "If you are the director, your ideological consciousness is higher than ours."

Xu Fugui pointed at him with a smile, "You boy, being a deputy director is really aggrieved."

Talking and laughing, after riding bicycles for almost three hours, the wide road turned into a narrow dirt road, and they finally came to Dachi Village.

Xu Fugui pushed the bicycle, patted the dust on the tunic, and suddenly found that the decision he made was not so satisfactory.

The distance between the countryside and the urban area is not far. With only a few staff members, even if the ingredients are bought, it will take a lot of effort to send them back.

If he didn't experience it himself this time, he wouldn't have discovered the problem.

The combination of theory and practice is probably the case.

It seems that after going back, I have to discuss it with Lao Chen from the Ministry of Transportation and ask them to borrow a few cars.

While thinking about this, he told Deputy Director He to ask him to write it down and remember to remind himself when he went back.

After Deputy Director He listened, he flattered him again, but I have to say that it really made people feel elated.

Dachi Village is relatively close to the urban area, so the conditions in all aspects are much better, and it can be seen that it is a wealthy village.

As soon as they entered the village, they were immediately looked at curiously by the villagers, with a trace of restraint flashing in their eyes.

Deputy Director He took the initiative to ask: "Comrade, this is Dachi Village, right? We belong to the Shougang Factory. This is our certificate. Is your village party secretary here?"

It is necessary to introduce clearly. There are many enemy agents these days. Under the propaganda of the radio, every village is very wary of strangers.

"Yes, yes, I'm going to call the party secretary over here." A farmer heard this, and ran towards the village, and brought a village party secretary over after a while.

Xu Fugui took the initiative to stretch out his hand, "Hi comrades, did you disturb your work?"

The village party secretary quickly shook his head, wiped his hand vigorously on his clothes, and then held it up, "The leader is good, the leader is good, no, no, what work does the leader have? Our Dachi Village will definitely cooperate with all our strength."

The following communication went smoothly, and when they learned that they were here to purchase ingredients, the whole village immediately took action and took out all the extra meat and eggs in the house.

They are not willing to eat these meat and eggs themselves, and usually save a certain amount and take them to the market to buy.

At this moment, someone came to collect them, which just saved them a trip, and they were able to see what the leaders of the Shougang Plant looked like up close.

Perhaps because of transportation, the price of meat and eggs in rural areas is indeed much cheaper than that in urban vegetable markets.

It doesn't matter if you buy less, but once you reach a certain amount, the gap will be very obvious.

This is why, in large transactions, a few cents are very important.

After the acquisition in Dachi Village, several people tied the canteen to bicycles and rode away with difficulty.

Deputy Director He smiled, "Director, if you weren't the director, if you bought this at the vegetable market, the money would not be the same, but it would just take a lot of effort."

Xu Fugui hummed softly, "So when we go back, we need to discuss with Director Chen of the transportation department and ask them to lend us a few cars."

"Director Chen will definitely borrow it, and it's all for the workers. Besides, the food in the cafeteria has improved, so the drivers in the transportation department can still eat better?" Deputy Director He's tone was very firm.

Xu Fugui didn't say much, for things that didn't happen, he never easily said what would happen.

Back in the cafeteria, some of the staff members had already returned, their expressions were generally exhausted, and they rubbed their legs and feet from time to time. Some people's clothes were even covered with fallen leaves and dust.

Xu Fugui clapped his hands, "You guys have worked hard, today we have to add meat to our internal meals, so give us a good reward."

"In addition, I will negotiate with the transportation department and ask them to borrow a few cars to assist us. If the negotiation is completed, everyone will relax."

After he finished speaking, the cafeteria burst into cheers.
