Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 305 Chapter 304 Incense and Love

Eating leftovers turned out to be a nightmare in the prosperous times, which no one dares to think about now.

Ten years ago, there were still people who collected leftovers from restaurants and sold them along the street, which was also called rotten food. Many men in the four-nine cities called it "staring food."

Put the leftovers in a pot, put them on the stove, and put them on the street for sale.

The pot is big and the soup is deep. You can fish it out with a copper. If you fish out the meat, you will be lucky, and if you fish out the vegetable stems, you will be unlucky.

If you want to catch something good, you have to keep your eyes open and your hands steady, so it is called staring food.

It's a bit like opening a blind box.

There are also dawn markets and ghost markets, which all rely on people's greed to take advantage. Everyone wants to take advantage of it, but they often suffer big losses.

For example, a certain video box has a one-minute advertisement before watching a TV series. Most of them talk about financial management, how to save 100 a month and earn 10,000 a year. The actress in the advertisement specifically stated that it is suitable for people with low academic qualifications. Put a QR code on the lower right and wait for Leek to take the bait.

And that shopping software that combines orders, why is it so popular?

As a low-class citizen, Tang Zhitong is even less disgusted with phone scams among all kinds of deceptions, because they don't deceive the poor...

Today's theme is still learning, deepening ideological understanding, fighting corruption and promoting integrity, etc.

Because Tang Zhitong will be the lecturer tomorrow morning and he needs to stay here today, Tang Zhitong and Zhang Ruojian agreed to pick it up after get off work tomorrow.

Later, this way of eating disappeared, and Tang Zhitong didn’t know why. Maybe it was because the sanitary conditions were not good enough.

After staring at the food, there was also a popular way of eating called "Gonghe hot pot", which is an old copper hot pot with partitions on it, a bit like a nine-square hot pot.

"Teacher Tang, you are so low-key, you didn't say anything at all!" Shao Jianlin enthusiastically held Tang Zhitong's hand and shook it.

Different from Jiugongge Hot Pot, most of the guests sitting around the Gonghe Hot Pot do not know each other. It is like sharing a table, and everyone uses their own partition to cook the dishes.

"Nanniwan! I really didn't expect you to be Nanniwan's son-in-law. If I hadn't visited Hao Ting yesterday, I would still be in the dark." Shao Jianlin took the initiative to reveal the answer to the mystery.

"Brother Lin, where did you start with these words?" Tang Zhitong was shaken a little confused and didn't understand what Shao Jianlin was referring to.

At noon, Tang Zhitong went outside and hung up the phone with Zhang Ruojian. Zhang Ruojian readily agreed and asked Tang Zhitong to pick it up at any time.

Both tap into the underlying purchasing power. If something really happened, they wouldn’t file a lawsuit with the law. My academic qualifications are low, and I don’t know which department to go to to complain!

Tang Zhitong originally thought of going back to the room to take a nap, but unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the room, Shao Jianlin held his hand and wouldn't let go.

"Well, Nanniwan is so big, I didn't expect Brother Lin and Uncle Hao to know each other." Tang Zhitong gave him an apologetic smile.

"Hey, after all, I come from the same place, and there is always a bit of love and kindness. Yesterday, I got a good start. Your escort department will participate in the postal code promotion assessment later. Please ask Teacher Tang to take care of me." Shao Jianlin requested.

"Brother Lin, I have a low position and haven't heard the news yet. I'll ask our section chief later." Tang Zhitong didn't refuse. "Lao Di", I have to confirm with Uncle Hao later. Shao Jianlin from the province borrowed the tiger skin to raise the banner. , although this possibility is low. "Okay, okay, I'm relieved with this sentence." Shao Jianlin happily let go of Tang Zhitong's hand.

Next, Shao Jianlin and Tang Zhitong chatted a lot about people and things in Nanniwan. No one took a break at noon, and they continued talking until class in the afternoon.

Tang Zhitong has been in the postal system for nearly a year and knows a lot about it.

Not only are escorts under dual management, the postal system is also under dual leadership. Local post offices are managed by the ministry and local governments. The ministry has a strong say, so if you want to make progress, you cannot avoid this hurdle.

It was also the first time that Tang Zhitong knew that the results of postal code promotion required the participation of the Escort Department. In fact, it is not difficult to understand that most letters from other places across the country are escorted by railways, and the Forty-Nine City Escort Department is responsible for most of them.

There is no way around it, but in this way, the work of the escort department will become heavier again. At least we can get some data and make statistics, right?

I haven't seen any obvious benefits from this assessment to the Escort Department for the time being, but I can try to get it when the time comes. You can't just want the horse to run without feeding it, right?

In the evening, they were playing mahjong again. Jiang Xinwen and Hao Limei wanted to give Tang Zhitong money for the tiger whip wine again. Tang Zhitong did not ask for it and insisted on paying after the goods arrived.

Tang Zhitong has selfish motives, but he must also act honestly and show them an example...

"Oh, Teacher Tang, it's not easy to live in the 49th city." At the mahjong table tonight, Jiang Xinwen fired frequently, and he didn't know whether he was depressed or something, so he started to sigh.

"It's not easy anywhere. Sijiucheng is better. The food ration and edible oil ration for urban household registration can be higher." Tang Zhitong couldn't figure out Jiang Xinwen's routine and pretended to be confused.

"Hey, it's not that. It's just that it's difficult to get things done. Yesterday I went to the Beijing Office. Alas..." Jiang Xinwen said half of his words, then shook his head and said no more.

The Liaison Office in Beijing is a long-standing "Jinzouyuan" that originated in the Tang and Song Dynasties. It was abolished in the Yuan Dynasty and existed in the form of a "guild hall".

It is said that during the Republic of China, there were nearly a thousand guild halls of various sizes in Sijiu City...

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Inner Mongolia established the first one in order to maintain constant contact between the central government and local governments, followed by other provinces and cities.

Jiang Xinwen hadn't even finished speaking, so Tang Zhitong naturally didn't want to continue, so he just smiled and passed.

Shao Jianlin and Hao Limei also heard it. They just wanted to use the help of fellow villagers to help build a bridge, but they did not get the desired results.

Shao Jianlin contacted Hao Ren directly and knew the role Tang Zhitong could play in the future, but he would definitely not share this kind of news.

Although they are colleagues from all over the system, they have different ideas. The mahjong game tonight is not as enjoyable as Monday's.

"Brothers, shall we be here today? I have to go to class tomorrow, and I feel very guilty. Go to bed early today to avoid showing weakness tomorrow." After playing a few more games, Tang Zhitong suggested ending the game.

"Okay, Teacher Tang was busy contacting us about the wine at noon, so he didn't take a break. We all have to learn this kind of modesty and prudence from Teacher Tang." Shao Jianlin immediately followed up and expressed his stance.

Jiang Xinwen had bad luck tonight and lacked interest. Tang Zhitong and Shao Jianlin both wanted to end the game, so even if Hao Limei wanted to push two more times, he couldn't force it.

After reaching an agreement, Tang Zhitong did not get up and leave immediately. Instead, he helped pack up the mahjong tiles and put them away before he and Shao Jianlin went back to the room to rest.
