The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Chapter 55
"Ask the section chief. I don't need it. Our family doesn't have that cooking skills, so we can't do it."

"The wild game is not good at cooking. It's really not delicious, and my family can't do it. Xiao Ming, when you sell it to the cafeteria, let us know in advance. I will make an appointment with the director of the cafeteria. The cafeteria will bring it back when it is ready. It’s good to eat at home.” For such consumption without meat tickets, Section Chief Chen, who has few children, can still afford it.

"Okay, Section Chief. I hope that luck will be better and I can hunt some prey."

"It's definitely possible. Xiao Ming, don't you feel that your luck has always been good?" Li Xueyao said enviously.

Facing Li Xueyao, Li Ming asked Xin Zhao who was supposed to be on duty today, "Is it alright. Where is Xin Zhao and Brother Zhao?"

Li Xueyao replied, "Deputy Director Li came to the department just now, and he went to run errands for Deputy Director Li and sent materials to the Armed Forces Department." Many decades later, most people think that the security department is very strong at this time.The Security Section does have pistols, rifles, and submachine guns; but heavy weapons such as machine guns and anti-aircraft guns that belong to the militia are managed by the Ministry of Armed Forces.

Decades later, units such as state-owned enterprises, universities, and large private enterprises still have armed departments, but in many units, the armed forces department and the security department are co-located, with two brands for one staff.It is not the case now, it is now two different systems, and the Ministry of Armed Forces actually has two words "in the factory" in front of it, and the affiliated units are different, and money and power are independent.

"It's a hot day, Xiao Ming, did you come to the factory for lunch?" Li Xueyao just started chatting.

"Yeah, it's hot to cook by yourself. Meat tickets are required for eating out, and you can save money by eating in the factory. In the morning when the weather was still cool, I went to the commune below."

Chief Chen asked: "Xiao Ming, have you left the commune?"

"Section Chief, I went to the nearby Wali Commune. Today is the day for the market, so I went to find out about various prices and the related economic activities of the members. I want to go down and have a look and ask more questions. Learn more about the actual situation, and it will be more efficient to run communes and brigades in the future.”

Section Chief Chen said with a smile, "I was worried that you lacked experience, and you might not be able to keep up with the missions in the future. You can act so steadily and willingly, and you even think of setting traps to hunt. With your luck, we Now I don't worry about you at all."

"Section Chief, you also said that I am lucky."

Section Chief Chen waved his hand and said with emotion, "Just like some people charging on the battlefield, all kinds of flying bullets have eyes and just don't greet him. So, luck really does exist."

Ring ring ring ring ring ring.

The phone rang.

Section Chief Chen picked up the phone and said, "Hello! This is the Purchasing Section [-] of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill."

"Section chief? I'm Zhang Youlu. I'm on the side of Shengli Commune. A cow in a production team fell. Please send a car quickly."

Section Chief Chen asked, "Their members don't want meat, do they sell all of them?"

"Yes, the whole cow is sold! Their brigade only distributed the pork a few days ago, so they sold all of them. No one from other units knows yet."

"You just wait at the commune, and I will send the transportation department out of the car immediately."

Section Chief Chen hung up the phone and went out.

Li Ming saw that Section Chief Chen had been out for a while, and said, "Sister Li, there is beef to eat."

Li Xueyao flipped through the newspaper without raising her head, "If the bones are removed from a cow, there are tens of thousands of people in the rolling mill, how can they get meat?"

"There will always be beef bone soup." Li Ming thought the same thing, not enough for senior workers and middle-level cadres, and it is true that ordinary staff like him are not available.

"This should be there. If you want to eat more beef, you can only hope that you can buy more cows that have fallen like this."

Li Ming recalled what happened on Wednesday, "If Brother De can get beef and mutton, that would be great."

"Liu De hasn't sent any news yet."

The two chatted for a while, and Xin Zhao came back.

The three of them read newspapers, drank tea, and chatted.

Section Chief Chen never came back, so he probably went to purchase the cow himself again.Just two words to describe him, model worker.

At noon, Li Ming packed some dishes in the cafeteria and was going to eat in Lou Xiaoe's small courtyard.

It's a pity that Lou Xiao'e wasn't there, so he just ate some lunch by himself, and he also picked a little bit of several kinds of fruits to accelerate germination.

Had a peaceful nap.Li Ming remembered that he didn't go to pick up the food, so he left a note for Lou Xiao'e, and he will not come here today.He went to the ration store.

Since it was Friday, the employees were all at work, and there was no one in the grain store at this time, except for the old men and women who bought grain from time to time.

Li Ming saw that the deliveryman was carrying grain, so he asked the person who was doing the registration next to him, "Hi, comrade, who do you call for the grain book?"

The ticket teller didn't make a sound, and pointed to the next room.

"Thank you." Although he didn't speak, he pointed out the direction.

Walking to the window, Li Ming asked, "Hello, comrade, is this the place to get the food book?"

A middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties said lightly: "Well, are you a food trader or something?"

"My name is Li Ming, and I'm a new transfer here. My work unit is the Purchasing Section 95 of the Red Star Rolling Mill, and I live in a courtyard house at No. [-] Nanluoguxiang." Li Ming thought to himself, the identity information arranged by this small world is too complete.

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll look for it." The elder sister rummaged around and found Li Ming's grain book at the bottom. "It's you! It's been a long time, and you haven't come to collect it."

"I'm sorry. I just started working, and I've been going to the countryside with my seniors." Li Ming was ashamed. The ticket sellers were too considerate. He either ate at the cafeteria or restaurants this month, so he didn't think about the matter of food.

"The logistics office of your factory is really good. They helped you send us all the documents such as the transfer certificate. Otherwise, you have to go to the street, the public security station, and our grain store by yourself."

"Yes, their work is well received in the factory." Li Ming guessed that Section Chief Chen, a model worker, greeted him and had to give him some gifts.

The elder sister of the grain store said solemnly: "This is your grain book and non-staple food book. Let me explain the most important thing to you first. You are a cadre. According to regulations, your rationed grain is only 28 catties, while ordinary workers only have 32 catties. This year’s ration includes 30% fine grains and 70% coarse grains. Oil is half a catty per person per month. For other miscellaneous contents, you can read the book yourself.”

"Okay, I see. Is there anything else I should be aware of?"

"On the 24th of every month, the next month's food stamps will be distributed at the door, and the next month's food stamps can be used to buy food in advance on the 25th. If you are going on a business trip, you need a letter of introduction from your unit to exchange for the national food stamps. For every 30 catties of national food stamps, half a catty of oil must be deducted.” Most of the few cities that deliver tickets to the door have to go to the grain store to pick them up.

"Thank you so much." Li Ming thanked.

The attitude is not bad, now it is time for all walks of life to give priority to service and quality.From next year onwards it will be about politics, and some people have a different attitude.

Not to mention Chinese people, foreign guests invited by the country are treated the same way.A lot of foreign celebrities complain about various service attitudes and lazy work, which are well documented.Basically, it started in the next year or two, mostly in the 70s, and the trend continued until the 80s.

No one cares about work discipline and service attitude, and no one dares to care.

Why there are rumors: Some restaurants will post "Do not beat customers at will"?I can't control it. After posting this article, the people who eat have a lot of forks in their hearts, and the conflicts are greatly reduced.

This is management.
