Siheyuan: Stab at Louzi at the beginning

Chapter 638 Take the initiative to deliver it to your door

"Director Liu, Director Liu, you..."

"Director Xu, why don't you come with me to the foundry workshop? Every time I see them working so hard even though they eat so poorly, I can't bear it."

As Director Liu Feng spoke, he took off his glasses and wiped them, as if he was really shedding tears.

It goes without saying that a foundry workshop that relies entirely on manpower is extremely dangerous.

Sand casting, which can be understood as mold casting, is a casting process.

In the past, they used to go from street to street to cast aluminum pots using molds, or to dig out wrench grooves in clay bonding sand, pour in molten metal liquid, and then make wrenches after it solidifies.

In the sand foundry, there are workpieces of all sizes, from wrenches to tractor engine chambers, all of which need to be cast in this way.

The tractors at that time were large tractors because they learned the technology from the big brother next door. The height of the wheels was about the same as that of an adult, and there was no need to say how big the diesel engines were.

The entire workshop is filled with molten steel and high-temperature steel.

There are no protective measures, so it goes without saying how dangerous it is.

And letting Xu Damao go there was just to gain sympathy.

Nan Yi had already tidied up the food window and came over there staggeringly, holding a towel.

At this time, the workers are like one family.

The employees didn’t think the factory director was that powerful. They just listened to the conversation and didn’t avoid suspicion.

The same goes for the factory director. Whenever there is any news or any matter, he will ask for the opinions of all employees.

The factory is my home, and everyone is responsible for its protection.

"Director Liu, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I will definitely do it for you if I can."

"Director Xu is really straightforward. I'll be frank. I know you because I read about you in the employee newspaper. Your achievements in Sijiucheng are obvious to all. You have made it possible for a factory as large as a steel rolling mill to eat eggs for free every day. Now you are the general office of the Sijiucheng Chicken Farm. This is what I think."

"You listen to whether it is appropriate or not. If it is not appropriate, we can discuss it again. First of all, our machine repair factory is definitely classified as Sijiucheng, so our idea is that you sell some of the extra eggs to us. We also belong to Sijiucheng, so it does not count as a violation of the regulations. Do you think it is appropriate?"

Whether it is suitable or not, it is redundant. For materials not included in the plan, units can trade them freely between each other and can sell them to whomever they want.

Xu Damao finally understood the whole story.

First of all, eggs are no longer in the monthly quota of materials, and the meat quota has also been replaced with eggs, which must include a lot of eggs.

Then Director Liu called to inquire, and the result was that there was no supply of eggs and that they would not be available in the future, so Director Liu Feng had to find a solution himself.

Baoding is unreliable, so we could only find Sijiucheng.

The best outcome would certainly be to rely on the planned supply for the entire city, but we can only do this slowly and with effort. The most urgent thing right now is to get a batch of eggs. Otherwise, without pork and with limited cooking oil, the workers in this factory really can't stand it anymore.

There was no reply from Sijiu City yet, so he took the initiative to call, which was like delivering his help to the door.

No wonder Director Liu was so happy when he heard 'Xu Damao, General Office of Sijiucheng Poultry Farm'.

This machine repair factory is indeed having a hard time. As Director Liu Feng said, it was indeed allocated to the old city, but life is really becoming untenable.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, at least there is enough cornmeal to eat.

"In fact, the current situation is that chickens are sick on a large scale. Due to improper handling of the chicken farm in Langfang, all the hens raised died. If you are the first batch to be cut off due to lack of production, it will take at least half a year to a year for you to resume supply again."

Director Liu:? ? ?

Director Liu Feng: ???
"Ah?" "Chickens are getting sick on a large scale? Is there something wrong with the chicken farm in Sijiu City?"

"I understand. No wonder the egg supply was cut off suddenly. It turns out that in some places all the old hens died, so the remaining ones must be supplied to important units first. Places like ours that have been excluded are worse off than being raised by a stepmother. It is normal for the first batch to be cut off. If I were to make this decision, I would also make it this early."

"I'm just worried that it will spread. If too many die, there won't be any eggs left to eat."

"All the chickens in the surrounding area were sold out, so we didn't even know the chickens were sick, and no one told us."

As Director Liu Feng spoke, he began to slap his thigh.

At this moment, he understood everything. No wonder he couldn't figure it out before. It turned out that this was the root of the problem.

Chickens getting sick does not mean all the chickens will die.

All chickens dying does not equal fowl plague.

It is quite normal not to reveal this kind of thing to outsiders.

Nan Yi didn't expect to hear such news. He took off his apron and threw it aside. "No wonder I haven't seen chickens recently. It turns out that all the chickens in the chicken farm died. Isn't this chicken plague? I'm going to use the radio to notify everyone in the surrounding area..."

Director Liu grabbed Nan Yi.

"Nan Yi, who are you going to notify? There are still a few chickens around us."

"Then I'll go notify the logistics department. There's a chicken roaming in the small vegetable patch in the backyard. We've never taken care of it. If it dies, we'll find it and cook it as soon as possible."

Director Liu Feng: …

Director Liu: ...

No, why are there so many people trying to sabotage the show today? I just said that there were no chickens left in the machine repair shop, and now a free-range chicken pops up?
"There's a chicken in the backyard vegetable garden? How come I didn't know there was a chicken? Isn't that a small vegetable garden, a garden for the small kitchen?"

"Didn't you, Director Liu, personally instruct us to keep the last chicken and take it out when an important person comes?"

Director Liu: ...

Today he spoke no more.

The machine repair shop has lost all face today.

All he could say was, "Director Xu, don't leave this afternoon. Let's have chicken soup tonight."

Xu Damao quickly refused: "No, I have to go home this afternoon. And the chicken illness is not as serious as yours. First of all, it will not affect the free-range chickens, and they will not die. For example, all the chickens in the entire breeding farm died in Langfang. That's because they didn't take it seriously at all, or they didn't think of a way to deal with it."

"In most places, as long as they respond proactively, large-scale deaths are unlikely."

Just like in Xiping area, at the beginning they would find a veterinarian first and try various methods, so at least they would not be completely wiped out.

Ultimately, it’s a people problem.

Nan Yi indeed stopped after hearing this.

The free-range one is fine, and the one in the vegetable garden is definitely fine.

I haven't seen you for several days.

"Are all the chicken farms in the city of Sijiu okay?"

"For now, everything is fine. The current situation is that production has been decreasing. After recovery, production should be able to increase."
