Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 375, Encounter at the beach (5K)

Before the 90s, you had to write a letter of introduction to buy a plane ticket, and not everyone was qualified to buy it. This time there were a lot of people attending the Canton Fair, led by Zhao Zhanqiang, and the only people here were Zhao Zhanqiang and Jiang Yan. I was eligible to buy air tickets, but after considering that I couldn't break away from the masses, I decided to take the train with everyone to attend the Canton Fair.

Of course, Jiang Yan didn't have to worry about buying tickets. It was just a week before going to the Canton Fair. The train tickets had been delivered before get off work this afternoon, which was very fast.

Moreover, Jiang Yan is a soft sleeper, which is the benefit of being a cadre. If Jiang Yan is just an ordinary worker, then he will be criticized if he buys a sleeper ticket when buying a train ticket, even if it is a hard sleeper.

Jiang Yan and the others are the only two people in the entire institute who are qualified to purchase soft sleepers.

Most of the people who participated in the Canton Fair in this institute actually bought hard seats, and there were a few qualified people who also bought hard seats.These people are basically cadres.

The train at this time was still a "green" steam locomotive. Every kilometer it traveled, coal had to be shoveled in continuously to drive it. Moreover, the train had to stop at more than 20 stations along the way, and a trip to Yangcheng took 46 For many hours, the speed of the car is only 50 kilometers per hour, and it is only 20 kilometers per hour when going through the curve. People can climb up by following the car.

The trains at this time did not have air conditioning. Especially when passing through the "big furnace" Hankou, the train car was boiling hot. The drainage facilities on the train were also opened all the way to drain water. "When the wind blows, it will blow to the passengers in the next car." on the face.

Although the conditions were very difficult, everyone who went to the Canton Fair still had bright smiles on their faces.

Since the time on the train was relatively long, everyone gathered four days in advance.

Jiang Yan's train was at 09:30 in the morning, and Jiang Yan arrived at the station at almost [-]:[-].

By the time Jiang Yan arrived in the waiting room, everyone from the institute attending the Canton Fair had already arrived except Zhao Zhanqiang.

When they saw Jiang Yan arriving, they greeted Jiang Yan one after another. Jiang Yan also smiled and found a seat to sit down.

At that time, taking a train was a very luxurious thing and one of the dreams of many people. A hard seat from Sijiucheng to Yangcheng cost 38.2 yuan, and a sleeper berth was more expensive. The upper berth cost 59 yuan, and the lower berth cost 62 yuan. [-] yuan. “This is the entire salary of many people for one or two months.

Jiang Yan sat down and smiled when he saw what everyone brought. He knew that it was not easy to go out these days, so this was not such an exaggeration!Each person brought two large boxes. In addition, each person also carried a military green bag. Looking at the bulging contents, you knew that they contained some food for the road.

Of course, Jiang Yan also brought some food. He Yuzhu specially stir-fried street vegetables with pickles and minced meat. This was a big jar and would not go bad after being eaten all the way.

There was still cooked food in the lunch box in the space, but Jiang Yan didn't take it out.

The backpack Jiang Yan carried was a custom-made backpack. In addition to a dozen packs of instant noodles and some pastries and food, there were only a few sets of clothes. The most valuable thing was the five pieces of flowers he carried with him.

Huazi can also be regarded as an official symbol. People who can smoke this kind of cigarette can basically be regarded as high-end and classy in the eyes of ordinary people. They are more famous than Peony cigarettes.

If others knew that he had brought five pieces of Huazi in one breath, they would probably be shocked. Anyone who knows the industry knows that this kind of cigarette is very difficult to buy. If you can buy one, it is already quite amazing, unless you go to the Friendship Store. But that place accepts foreign exchange coupons or foreign currency. Most people don't have such things, unless you have connections overseas.

Otherwise, if you want to buy Huazi, it is not something that ordinary people can do.

As the saying goes, the King of Hell is easy to deal with. This kid is difficult to deal with. All kinds of accidents may happen when you go out. Bringing these is just to be prepared.

As for instant noodles, they are a rarity in this era. Most of the exports produced by the country are only a small part sold domestically. Those sold domestically are mainly made from coarse grains, but whether they are coarse grains or fine grains, they are all fried Things that are made of oil are good if they are made of oil.

Jiang Yan has a certificate in his hand. He can go to the instant noodle factory to buy twenty packs of instant noodles at a low price every month. Basically, the instant noodles he buys every month go into He Yuyu's stomach. This is what Jiang Yan only brings with him when he goes on business trips. So much.

Jiang Yan, who was sitting there bored, read the newspaper three times before Zhao Zhanqiang and the others slowly hurried over.

Some of the people accompanying Zhao Zhanqiang were superior leaders.

After gathering and counting the number of people, the group got on the train in a mighty manner, and then someone taught everyone a lesson.

Of course, this class mainly talks about organizational discipline and obeying leadership. This is actually a simple explanation. If you are going abroad, you need to train several days in advance.

Anyway, the meaning of this class is to do whatever the leader asks us to do, and if the leader doesn’t let us do anything, then we will definitely not do it.

After finally getting into the car, I realized that the car was shaking!Jiang Yan almost vomited while wandering around in the car. Everything he ate didn't taste good.

At this point, Jiang Yan felt that he was already happy. After all, he was not the kind of person who gets motion sickness and didn't always want to vomit.

An old gentleman came with him. He was so vomited that he lay there unwilling to move.

If he wasn't so hungry that he couldn't bear it, Jiang Yan wouldn't be able to eat.

Jiang Yan's meal consisted of spicy and sour potato shreds and a few slices of braised beef specially prepared by He Yuzhu.The staple food is two noodles mixed with cornmeal, but Jiang Yan's two noodles still have less corn flour and more white flour.

People in the same berth also took out their own things one after another, which were basically some eggs, steamed buns and the like. It was a hot day, so if you didn’t eat them quickly, they would probably go bad quickly.

From the moment Jiang Yan opened the lunch box, the alluring aroma overflowed, making the people inside envious. Since he was not familiar with other people, he was too embarrassed to eat and drink. Naturally, Jiang Yan had a good meal by himself. After eating, he went to wash up. After picking up his lunch box, Jiang Yan lay on his bed, picked up Water Margin, and started reading.

It took more than 40 hours on the road!If you don't find something to do for yourself, wouldn't it be boring?

As for the other people in the same room, Jiang Yan had no intention of making friends.

This journey was full of ups and downs, but anyway, my group finally arrived at Yangcheng safely.

When we arrived at Yangcheng Railway Station, the hot wind blowing against our faces made people wonder if they had traveled through time.

Good guy, it feels very hot here in Sijiucheng. It's even hotter than Sijiucheng. It feels a bit breathless and uncomfortable to breathe.

Therefore, most of the people here seemed to be wearing vests, which made Jiang Yan feel how vast the motherland was.

After getting off the train, the team leader took everyone directly to the booked hotel, and then asked the secretary to report to the Canton Fair Organizing Committee.

This time the leader was more considerate and said that he would let everyone take a break and go to decorate the exhibition hall tomorrow.

To be honest, after riding the train for three days and two nights, Jiang Yan, a sleeper berth rider, felt tired, let alone those on hard seats.Basically everyone who came down here looked pale, but they were still in good spirits.

The Canton Fair will not be held until the day after tomorrow, so the team leader announced that after the exhibition hall is decorated tomorrow, the day after tomorrow you can move around freely, relax, and visit various places in Yangcheng.

This can also be regarded as an invisible benefit for comrades participating in the Canton Fair.

In fact, setting up the exhibition hall was relatively easy. It took half a day to complete the decoration. There are many young comrades in Jiang Yan's research institute!This is done quite quickly.

However, this location is a bit bad. It is basically at the back, and the area is not large, only about ten square meters.This made Jiang Yan shake his head.

In the center of the exhibition hall, Jiang Yan saw people from the Sijiucheng Instant Noodles Factory and the Ham Sausage Factory. These people were setting up the exhibition. Their area was larger than Jiang Yan and the others. Even though it was not the C corner, it was quite important.

After setting up the exhibition hall, the two unlucky ones were left to watch, while the others went back to the hotel.

After returning to the hotel, the team leader saw that there was still enough time and announced that we could start free activities this afternoon and have a free day tomorrow.
But one thing is that you must return to the hotel before dinner. This is discipline.

The team leader naturally has his own circle of friends and wants to visit some of his friends.

If the leader doesn't follow, everyone will be a little more active here.

After all, in front of the leader, sometimes you have to pay attention to your images, and you can't seem so open-minded. So after the leader left, everyone suddenly became more relaxed, so Jiang Yan greeted everyone and said, "Here in Yangcheng The scenery is quite good. What I mean is that this afternoon we will focus on visiting a few popular attractions. Tomorrow everyone can move freely and see if there are any souvenirs that need to be bought. Buy some, but the leader also said that you must return to the hotel on time before dinner tomorrow afternoon, that is, before 6 o'clock. This is organizational discipline. It is the same this afternoon. This afternoon, before dinner, that is, before 6 o'clock, you must return to the hotel on time. ."

For people who have never been to Yangcheng, seeing the scenery of Yangcheng is very rare, but Jiang Yan has seen the prosperous Yangcheng in the future, the slim waist, and the prosperity on both sides of the Pearl River. He has nothing to say about Yangcheng in the 60s. Very interested.

Of course, the docks and beaches in Yangcheng were still quite clean at that time, which aroused Jiang Yan's interest.Jiang Yan knew that everyone had seen the sea, so he took them to the port for a walk to enjoy the scenery of the sea.

But after seeing this kind of scenery too much, it doesn’t have any special meaning anymore.

This beach is just like that. There is no Miss I in a bikini to make it interesting. Once the excitement wears off, Jiang Yan finds it a bit boring.So Jiang Yan wanted to find a place to rest.

I originally ran a lot this afternoon and was a little tired. When I saw the place selling coconuts on the roadside, Jiang Yan sat down there and never wanted to get up again.Jiang Yan looked at the two big bags beside him. Everyone bought a lot of things this afternoon and put them in the two big bags.

"Let's go play! Pay attention to safety. I'm here to look at the things we bought. Take a break by the way. Xiao Gong, remember to come back later."

Hearing Jiang Yan speak, his secretary Xiao Gong was stunned for a moment, and then said anxiously: "Boss, you can take them to play if they are still alive! I can just watch from here."

As soon as Xiao Gong said this, the others also started to cater to him and asked to look at the bag here.

"Okay, okay, why are you joining in the fun? I'm a little tired. You go and play! Go quickly." Jiang Yan said with an impatient look and waved his hands at them.

After seeing Jiang Yan like this, everyone started to finish.

To be honest, this dock did not arouse much interest in Jiang Yan, so he found a place under the shade of a tree to sit and rest.

At this time, a cup of coconut water only costs 5 cents, which is really cheap. The key is that the ingredients here are real.The taste of this drink is extraordinary, the sea breeze blows slightly, it is neither cold nor hot, it is just right for drinking pure natural coconut juice and smoking a cigarette. It would be more perfect if there is another lounge chair.

The stall selling coconut juice next to it was not the kind of hawker that was later sold along the street. It was a real employee of a state-owned enterprise.

Just kidding, there were no private businesses in the 60s. Would an individual dare to set up a stall on the street?That's speculation.This person will definitely go to jail.

Through conversation, He Yuzhu found out that they originally belonged to the supply and marketing cooperative, but they didn't know why they were later classified as a department store. Anyway, they were all a family and received the same salary in any unit.The salesperson didn't feel anything had changed either.

Jiang Yan pulled out a lot of useful things from his mouth. What Jiang Yan didn't know was that when people saw that Jiang Yan was smoking Huazi, they knew that Jiang Yan was special. When Jiang Yan gave it to him After a while, there were more words to talk about. Through chatting, Jiang Yan learned that this seafood does not require a ticket at the supply and marketing cooperative, and the price is still cheap.Hearing this, Jiang Yan felt itchy in his heart.

In the early 20s, my country used confiscated ships to establish state-owned marine fishery companies, and successively established Luda Fisheries Company, Yantai Fisheries Company, Qingdao Qingdao Fisheries Company, and Shanghai Fisheries Company.

At that time, there were no individual motorized fishing boats. Most of the fishing boats owned by fishing companies were wooden fishing boats. Only the Shanghai Fishery Company had a batch of 160-horsepower steel-hulled fishing boats. These fishing boats were mainly illegal fishing boats that seized and confiscated foot pot chickens in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China and illegally fished at the Lusiyang fishery in the southern Yellow Sea of ​​my country. ,.

In the 50s, the main fishing areas for Chinese fishing boats were in the inland sea areas of the Yellow, Bohai and East China Seas. At that time, the fishery resources in my country's offshore waters were very rich. There are stories of beating deer with sticks and gourds to scoop up fish in the Zhangzi Island in Dalian. It is said that at that time, in the Yellow Sea The north is rich in herring, which migrates to the shallow waters of the coast when spawning. Therefore, people can use scoop cages and other equipment to catch herring, which shows how abundant the resources were at that time. In the 50s, the Yanwei Fishing Ground in Dalian, Yantai and Haiyangdao in the northern part of the Yellow Sea was rich in mackerel and horse mackerel (also known as spiny mackerel), which were the main species caught in seine nets. The fishing season is from March to August every year. During the period of high fish production, as long as the weather was good, the ships would return to port with full loads on the same day they went to sea. Since there were no quick-frozen fish processing plants at that time, the catch could only be unloaded to the roadside of the port and preserved by processing and salting. The selling price was also very low, usually only 3 cents.At that time, the coastal bottom fish resources were also very abundant. A pair of 8-horsepower bottom trawl boats could return to port with a full load in five or six days. The catches were mainly high-quality fish species.

After the 60s, marine fishery fishing began to develop in a planned way. At that time, due to the backwardness of the country's shipbuilding industry and the low steel production, steel fishing boats could not be built. Changbai Mountain produced a lot of high-quality red pine suitable for shipbuilding, so aquatic product repair and shipyards in Dalian, Shandong and other places began Build wooden fishing boats.Since the country's internal combustion engine production technology was very backward at that time, and the output of larger power diesel engines above 100 horsepower was very low, offshore fishing was still the main focus.

During this period, the country successively established Zhoushan Ocean Fisheries Company, Zhanjiang Ocean Fisheries Company, Hainan Fisheries Company (in Baima Well, Hainan Island), Jiangsu Ocean Fisheries Company, Ningbo Ocean Fisheries Company, and Tianjin Ocean Fisheries Company, which are known as the top ten marine fishery companies in the country. Companies, including Yantai Marine Fisheries Company, Zhoushan Marine Fisheries Company, and Zhanjiang Marine Fisheries Company, were placed under the management of the Central Fisheries Ministry. At that time, they owned more than 500 fishing vessels.

Especially as my country enters a three-year period of natural disasters, the state calls for the development of Nanniwan at sea and encourages qualified factories and mines to build fishing boats to go fishing to solve the shortage of grain and non-staple food.Some qualified industrial and mining enterprises have built a number of steel fishing boats and wooden fishing boats, opening the door to hope for the construction of national steel fishing boats.

After the country's economy improved in 1964, the country brought fishing boats dispersed in enterprises under the unified management of various cities, and ocean fishing companies were established in major coastal cities.In order to solve the food shortage problem in the market as soon as possible, the Ministry of Fisheries has included the construction of steel fishing boats in the national development plan, and the state has invested in arranging shipbuilding companies with strong shipbuilding capabilities such as Shanghai Jiangnan Shipbuilding, Hudong Shipbuilding, and Qiuxin Shipbuilding to start building 250-400 The main engines used in the steel trawlers were the most advanced high-pressure diesel engines at the time.

Therefore, in the 60s, my country's four major sea areas, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, the Bohai Sea and the South China Sea, were rich in fishery resources. Since there were fewer motorized fishing boats and lower fishing capacity, the fishery resources were not destroyed.

Wild yellow croakers, which are relatively rare in later generations, are relatively rare in this era. Even abalones are not rare. According to the waiter setting up the stall, basically every household cannot eat them all.

"Comrade, if you have national food stamps here, I can take you to get some prawns or something like that. The prawns are as big as the palm of your hand." After getting familiar with each other, the waiter suddenly lowered his voice and spoke to Jiang Yan.

Hearing this, Jiang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that I will report you? You are just speculating."

"You can't. I wasn't sure at first, but I knew it after hearing what you said." Hearing Jiang Yan say this, the waiter smiled proudly.

"These things we have are all handed down by the team. They are counted as rations. We exchange rations for rations. How can this be speculation." He smiled proudly as he spoke.

"This is the name and room number of my hotel. We can adjust it if you need it. There are samples! Just bring me some and I'll pick them out."

I originally wanted to talk about something, but I ended the conversation when I looked up and saw my colleagues walking towards me. The fewer people who knew about this, the better, so Jiang Yan left his address.
