Chapter 229 Ranch Production Team

In the morning, I ate Wowotou made of stick noodles.

They ate with pickles and nothing else, and everyone got a bowl of boiled water to drink.

According to Secretary Lu, only the driver's supper at night was noodles.

At other times, they eat steamed buns, and there are fried potato shreds and fried cabbage at noon and evening.

The food here is better than that in the factory. After all, it's a business trip, and deputy factory manager Qian came here to guarantee the logistics in person, so it shouldn't be too bad.

Regarding the matter of letting Jiang Ping'an come to stay permanently, Deputy Director Qian raised his mouth, and then stopped talking about it.

Purchasing and publicity are two units. Even if Jiang Pingan is wanted to come over, Zhao Dabao will persuade him.

In the morning, he ate three buns and drank a large bowl of hot water, which was not enough for Jiang Ping'an to get between his teeth.

But there is no way, other people eat like this, too much.

Even the pickles are counted, a few pieces per person, salty to death.

After Secretary Lu ate one bun, he took the remaining two buns and got up and left.

"He went to arrange the convoy first. The warehouse where the farm stores cotton is a little far away from here."

Seeing Jiang Ping'an's confused appearance, deputy factory director Qian explained.

"Qianchang, how long can the factory produce the cotton we got this time?" Jiang Ping'an asked curiously.

In fact, the cost of pulling cotton by car is very high, after all, there is too little fuel these days.

In the past, most of the cotton used in textile factories was directly pulled to the factory area by train, and then transported by car.

But there is no way, there is no train here at the ranch, so we can only use cars to pull it.

If there is a choice, the cotton in the pasture is not economical, but it is just that there is no cotton and it has to be used.

Deputy Factory Manager Qian pondered and said, "It's hard to say, just two workshops will resume work now."

"In the future, other workshops will definitely resume work one after another, and the time is hard to say."

"The factory plans to resume work within a year, so we also hope to find more sources of raw cotton."

After a pause, he glanced at Jiang Ping'an and continued:
"Actually, next year, I want you to come here as a permanent resident. It is based on various situations and comprehensive consideration."

Jiang Pingan nodded lightly and said, "If the factory manager thinks it's suitable for me to stay here, I will definitely come."

"Forget it, twisted melons are not sweet, let's talk about it next year." Deputy Factory Director Qian shook his head.

After talking for a while, Secretary Lu ran back and said, "Leader, the convoy has been arranged and can leave at any time."

"Okay, then don't delay, let's go." Deputy Factory Manager Qian got up and said.

The three of them left the cafeteria and walked to the road on foot.

A team of nine vehicles was parked on the side of the road, the tires were all chained, and Deputy Factory Director Qian's jeep was at the front.

The driver of the car came over after dinner, so Jiang Ping'an hadn't seen him before.

The personnel of the security department also gathered with their guns on their backs and stood in a row.

"Let's go!" Deputy Factory Director Qian said to the team leader of the security department, and got into the jeep.

The team leader held his whistle and blew a few times vigorously, the personnel dispersed and boarded the car separately.

Secretary Lu sat in the passenger cab of the jeep, and deputy factory director Qian and Jiang Pingan sat in the back row.

The vehicle started slowly and swayed forward in the snow.

Speechless all the way.

More than 20 minutes later, the vehicle stopped in a village.

The [-] mu of cotton fields are connected together, but the planting and harvesting are the responsibility of each production team.

Then it is stored and kept by each production brigade in a unified manner.

So every time the cotton is pulled, it is not in the same place.

"Here is the seventh team, which raises many horses and sheep." After getting out of the car, Secretary Lu told Jiang Ping'an.

Jiang Pingan nodded and looked around.

A convoy came, and the herdsmen all came out of their homes. There were hundreds of people, big and small, and it was very lively.

Many people wore clothes made of white sheepskin, and most of the herdsmen's faces were disheveled, obviously malnourished.

The children were in groups of three or four, shouting loudly, laughing and playing high, turning around the car, looking at it and touching it.

Some of the brave ones were about to climb up the car to play, but they were stopped by adults.

The surrounding houses are mostly mud brick and tile houses, and there are a few stone-walled thatched huts, crooked and leaking everywhere.

Every household stores a large amount of pasture, as well as horse pens and sheep pens.

Horses not only eat grass, but also grain, such as corn, sorghum, bean cake, black beans and so on.

Some have to grow by themselves, and some have sold horses from the ranch and bought grain outside.

Just like the [-] mu of cotton planted, according to Secretary Lu, it is all grain.

Textile mills naturally have a share of grain. These days, grain is more expensive than money, and it is a proper hard currency.

The cadres of the brigade and the buyers from the textile factory who came earlier and lived here stepped forward to greet Deputy Director Qian.

Director Zhu of the ranch came here with Deputy Director Qian yesterday, and had dinner with him, so we are familiar with each other.

After exchanging pleasantries, there was no delay. After giving the bill of lading, the herdsmen helped to load the cotton into the truck.

The warehouse is not on the side of the road, and it takes tens of meters of narrow path, so it needs to be transported by horse-drawn cart.

The cotton is packed tightly in linen bags, which are very heavy, requiring two people to carry them when getting on the car.

After moving a few times, everyone was sweating profusely.

In the courtyard dam in front of the herdsman's house by the roadside, several tables and benches were set up, and deputy factory manager Qian and brigade cadres went to sit down.

Jiang Ping'an and Secretary Lu naturally followed.

He didn't sit at the same table with Deputy Factory Manager Qian and the others, but sat down next door and chatted.

"Did Qianchang talk to you?" Secretary Lu asked curiously.

Jiang Pingan took the cigarette, passed one over, nodded and said: "He said we'll see."

"Hehe, I convince you. You are still picky about such a good opportunity." Secretary Lu said with a smile.

Jiang Pingan smiled, pointed to the distance, then pointed to the house behind him, and said, "Are you used to staying here?"

"That's true, the conditions are indeed a little bit worse." Secretary Lu said deeply.

"Don't talk about staying here for a few months, I've only stayed here for about twenty days, and it's almost like returning home."

"But it might be more fun in autumn. It's quite comfortable to ride a horse and herd sheep on the green grassland."

Jiang Pingan asked with a smile, "Are you uncomfortable in the factory? After get off work, you can still have your wife and children warming up on the kang."

"Haha, you kid." Secretary Lu couldn't help laughing.

"By the way, I heard that you are studying in university by yourself? Is it easy to take the exam?"

Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "You can see whether it is good or not by looking at the number of places admitted to universities every year."

"That's right, that's an obvious thing, I shouldn't ask." Secretary Lu reacted and said.

Then he admired: "No wonder Qianchang values ​​you, educated people, where is it not a golden lump?"

"I'm only a freshman, and I've taken several exams this semester." Jiang Pingan shook his head and smiled.

"Oh? Still have an exam?" Secretary Lu was very surprised, and asked curiously, "How's the grade?"

Jiang Pingan said: "At least one exam every semester, so self-study in college, generally apply for universities in the province."

"You can also take the exam every time. If you get a good score in the exam, the school will send it to the unit."

"Didn't I become a regular a few days ago? In fact, this aspect also has a great promotion effect."

Whether you perform well at ordinary times, in addition to your own work, there are many ways to add luster.

For example, when Jiang Pingan purchases materials for the factory, for example, if he gets good grades in college exams, he can get extra points from the leader.

So he became a full-time member in advance, not because he sent a letter and made a contribution, so he immediately became a full-timer.

If Jiang Ping'an didn't behave well, even if Jiang Pingan mentioned it to Zhao Dabao, he wouldn't respond.

Upon hearing this, Secretary Lu admired, "You are a caring person!"
