Chapter 53 Vulnerable Groups
"Nan Sheng, are you at home?"
Nan Yi was arranging the flowers and plants he had rearranged in the yard, and someone was shouting outside the gate.
"The door is not closed, just push in."
Creaking, the door was pushed open, and Han Guoren walked in, followed by Xian Weimin.
"The cigarettes are on the stone table, take them yourself."
"Nan Yi, when did you get this stone table? It wasn't there the last time I came here."
"Just made it."
Xian Weimin touched the surface of the stone table, "Isn't it you who polished the table by hand?"
"Otherwise, the brigade has no grinding tools."
"You are really willing to work hard."
"Come on, don't talk about this, Keriya, what's the matter, you can talk about it." Nanyi waved his hand, telling Xian Weimin to stop talking.
"Nan Sheng, it's like this. Bell-bottom pants are very popular outside, and the factory has also made a batch, but the supply and marketing cooperatives don't accept them at all."
Xian Weimin said: "Let me talk about this matter. Nanyi, it's like this. People in the supply and marketing cooperatives say that these bell-bottom pants are indecent, and they don't want to buy them. What I mean is, should we go out for wholesale by ourselves? Now the bell-bottom pants I really don’t have to worry about selling it.”
"Yes, but you need to make some preparations first. Find a newspaper and publish an article in the newspaper.
The general meaning is this:
In response to the call of the country to vigorously develop agricultural and sideline industries, the Wenchangwei Production Brigade established a collectively-owned garment factory. After more than a year of development, the income of the members has been increased and their lives have been improved.
Recently, I learned that millions of educated youths returned to the cities, and there were millions of unemployed youths at one time. The country has great difficulties in resettling them.
In order to reduce the burden on the country, the Wenchangwei Production Brigade is now recruiting a large number of temporary supply and sales personnel from the society. The job function is to sell the backlog of bell-bottoms in garment factories to department stores and supply and marketing agencies across the country;
The remuneration is favorable, and the educated youth returning to the city are given priority.
It should be noted that the recruitment is for temporary workers, and the words bell-bottom pants must be specified.
Writing in this way can let people with active brains know that we have bell-bottom pants in Wenchangwei, a lot of bell-bottom pants. When people come to ask, our people explain to them that this job is very free.
Depending on their ability, temporary workers can take away any number of flared pants, as long as they pay a certain deposit.
After the flared pants are sold, they can come back to our staff to collect them again, and settle the wages and commissions of the previous batch, and report which city's supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores the last batch of flared pants were sold to.
By the way, there must be two people who pay the salary commission and register the sales area. The person in charge of the registration will find an old, hard-of-hearing, and illiterate person in the brigade. "
"I understand what you mean, Nanyi. We treat those who come to wholesale as temporary workers in garment factories. The deposit is actually the wholesale payment. If you find an illiterate person to register, you can ask the temporary workers to register by themselves.
In this way, we just hired a group of temporary workers to help us sell clothes to the supply and marketing cooperatives, but did they really approve the clothes to the supply and marketing cooperatives? Since we are farmers and uneducated, we respect educated people, and we don't think they will cheat at all.
In the event of an accident in the future, the registrant will be blamed, dismissed from his post, let him go home and continue to provide for the elderly, and Wenchang will be completely wiped out. "
"That's pretty much what it means. We want to make the image of Wenchangwei Garment Factory into a bunch of mud-legged fools messing around here. The blind cats ran into dead rats and made some money. In fact, they don't know how to run a business or do business at all.
In this way, we can put ourselves in the role of the vulnerable, the victim.
By the way, you go back and tell me that if a liar comes to cheat, don't expose him, let him succeed in cheating, and then find out that he was cheated after a few days, and then report to the police station.
Find a reporter to report about being cheated, and spread the image of our idiots. The more people know about it, the better. "
"Play pig eat tiger?"
"It's not that evil. Sometimes the more stupid you are, the more willing people are to do business with you. In short, whether we are at a disadvantage or taking advantage, it must be seen at first glance that we are the one who suffers."
Xian Weimin shook his head, "I don't know."
"Then go back and think about it slowly. If you don't understand it now, you will definitely understand it in the future. Okay, you two go back and get moving. The bell-bottom pants are probably good for several years. Get them done properly."
"Okay, let's go."
"Nansheng, goodbye."
"Weimin, come to my place for dinner tomorrow night, I have something to tell you."
"Got it."
After Xian Weimin left, Nan Yi continued to tidy up his flowers and plants. The yard looked too monotonous, so he wanted to make it more lively.
According to Nanyi's idea, plant two pieces of flowers and plants, expand the pool, set up a rockery inside, plant a few water lilies, raise a few red carp in the pond, raise a few turtles, put a black fish or Catfish go in.
Get a mason and carpenter and build a gazebo in the yard.
Next year, the backyard will be expanded to include a basketball court, a tennis court, and a swimming pool.
There is also a hilly land to the east of the house, which leads to the stream, where various peach blossoms are planted.
Peach groves, streams, horses, a woman in pink is playing in the water, peach blossoms are falling, what kind of beauty will this be.
For peach blossoms, Nanyi wants to grow them himself; for streams, he also plans to dig them himself; for women, of course, he has to find them by himself. To realize everything, Nanyi plans to spend ten years to turn this place into his own paradise.
Bending down, Nan Yi poured nutritious soil into the flower bed that had been placed, and suddenly, there was a weight on his back.
"woke up?"
"Well, Dad, I slept for three hours today."
"Little lazy pig, eat more and more and sleep longer and longer." Nan Yi turned his head, and said dotingly to Nan Ruofeng: "Why is there sweat on his forehead, did you not turn on the fan?"
"It wasn't turned on, it wasn't hot when I just slept."
"Go get the washbasin and wash your face."
"Um."
Nan Ruobing let go of Nanyi, went to the kitchen, took out her washbasin, put it on the sink, turned on the faucet, took some water, rinsed the towel, and wiped it on her face.
The sink in the yard has two countertops, one high and one low, which was designed by Nan Yi considering Nan Ruofing's height.
There is no running water in Wenchangwei, the faucet is connected to the river water diversion pipe, and the water is produced by the principle of drop and siphon, and the water flow is not strong.
After washing her face, Nan Ruobing walked up to Nan Yi again and said, "Father, what snacks are you having today?"
"Shui Suo powder, it's on the table in the kitchen, you can eat it first."
"Dad, I want chili soup to mix with it."
"Then wait a while, Dad will get it for you after finishing work here, you clean up the peppers first."
"Um."
Nan Ruofing excitedly ran to the kitchen, took out five or six small green peppers, flushed them on the sink, cut the peppers into two pieces with a kitchen knife, and scraped off the seeds.
In the same way, clean up each pepper, then put it on the cutting board, and chop the pepper into small pieces awkwardly.
"Dad, the peppers are ready."
"Then start a fire, I'm almost ready."
"oh."
Two minutes later, Nanyi finished the work at hand, washed his hands at the sink, and walked into the kitchen with the chopping board in his hand. He dipped his hand into the iron pot to feel the heat. It was just right.
Use a kitchen knife to scrape the diced peppers into the pot, stir fry for a few seconds, and then serve.
Scoop a spoonful of rapeseed oil into the pot, wait for the temperature of the oil to rise, then pour the diced peppers into the pot, stir fry, add a little water, then add salt and monosodium glutamate.
Puff puff puff, waited for the water to boil for a while, then poured out the chili water.
"Ah, whoosh..." Nan Ruobing sneezed, rubbed her nose with her fingers, and said, "Dad, the chili smells so strong."
"Don't you like it?"
"Yes, I like it, let's eat."
Throwing the tongs into the ash pond, jumped up from the low bench, ran to the table excitedly, and opened the vegetable cover.
On the table, there is an enamel bowl and a rice washing basket.
The enamel bowl is filled with marinade, and the rice basket is filled with water-soaked powder, each of which is the weight of a bowl.
Nanyi put the chili water on the table, took two bowls from the drainer of the cupboard, and took two pairs of chopsticks from the chopstick holder hanging on the left wall of the cupboard.
"Here, you can add the chili water yourself."
"Uh-huh."
Nan Ruobing took the bowl and chopsticks, picked out a stick of powdered water and put it into the chopsticks, scooped up a spoonful of marinade with a spoon, then scooped up three spoonfuls of chili water, stirred the powder, and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Oh, it's so delicious, Dad, everything you make is so delicious."
"Small mouth is so sweet."
Nanyi smiled knowingly, mixed his own water powder, and ate it slowly.
On a summer afternoon, it is a good treat to have a cool noodle snack. Nan Yi was thinking about going to the commune tomorrow to buy a few fried dough sticks, and tomorrow's snack - fried dough sticks with lard soup and rice.
The dim sum in this article refers to a meal at two or three o'clock in the afternoon between lunch and dinner, which is almost a Chinese afternoon tea.
It seems that there are not many people who eat this meal now, but because of the lack of oil and water, children in the countryside used to eat a lot in each meal, but they would still be hungry in the afternoon.
