Chapter 29 Transaction
At this point, the workers in the big factories are off work, but it is not difficult to inquire about the situation in the big factories.
Because now the workers in the factory live in family courtyards, basically living in the same courtyard.
After Song Wei had an idea in her mind, she took Heidan to find an aunt sitting at the door eating melon seeds.
She grabbed a handful of walnuts from her pocket, only three of them, but this one was big.
"Sister, I want to ask you something." Song Wei deliberately lowered his voice.
The aunt immediately beamed when she saw the three walnuts placed in front of her.
"You ask me what's going on, girl? Not to mention other things in this county, I still know a lot about this area."
Song Wei: I think of what you said. Chatted with you a lot.
“It’s like this. My mother-in-law in my hometown is sick and she needs money. My uncle’s family works in a textile factory, but it’s our first time here with my children. We have been walking here since morning until now. It's too far over there.
It took a lot of effort to get here. This county is too big and I can’t find where the textile factory is. Sister, do you know where the family home of the textile factory is? My mother-in-law is still waiting to get money to go back to see a doctor. ”
Song Wei acted very anxious and sad.
Heidan:???
His face had a completely silly expression
Song Weilai She covered her head with a scarf and deliberately changed her voice to sound like a middle-aged woman. The aunt, whose hands and face were dark, didn't explore much.
Just looking at Heidan and her clothes, you can tell that she is from the countryside.
Song Wei: Fortunately, because when I go to the mountains, all I wear are dusty old clothes.
"What a pity, I really know this textile factory family home!"
Song Wei grabbed the aunt's hand with a grateful face: "Thank you very much, eldest sister, otherwise the child and I would I don’t know how long it will take to look for you in this county. There are not many people as warm-hearted as you, eldest sister. I feel friendly when I see you. What kind of director is this textile factory like? I came from a rural area. I heard that Lao Weifeng..."
The aunt was already dizzy as soon as Song Wei blew a rainbow fart, and if she casually asked questions, the aunt not only told her the news about the textile factory that she knew Yes, and also mentioned several other factories.
When they said goodbye, the two were already very enthusiastic sisters.
Heidan next to him looked confused throughout the whole process.
“Let’s go to the steel factory.”
Hei Dan’s face was full of question marks.
Song Wei rubbed his head. Her hands were a little greasy now, and Hei Dan’s hair was also greasy and messy. Don’t dislike anyone.
When they arrived at the courtyard of the steel factory, Song Wei first hid Heidan so that he wouldn't run around.
"I'll come as soon as I go, don't run around."
Heidan nodded vigorously, his big eyes very serious: "Well, I'm very good."
Also grinned with small teeth.
After letting down his guard, Hei Dan turned out to be well-behaved, soft and capable, and Song Wei liked him more and more.
The greasy hair needs to be washed and cut, and the head is like an overgrown weed.
After handing over the black egg, Song Wei went straight to the old guard of the family courtyard.
“Who are you?”
The old man looked at her.
Song Wei repeated his old trick, took out the walnuts, and said to the uncle furtively.
"Uncle, do you want to eat pork?"
She had found out everything, but don't underestimate the guard. He is related to the deputy director of the steel plant.
Who doesn’t want to eat pork these days?
Just hearing the word pork makes me want to eat.
The uncle quickly looked around and quickly let Song Wei in.
The two of them spoke in lowered voices, as if they were spies. "What kind of pork? Did you bring it?"
Song Wei: "I didn't bring it. My brother shot two big wild boars. I heard that your factory hasn't tasted meat for a long time, so I came to ask. , if the steel factory doesn’t want it, then I’ll go find the textile factory.”
“Yes!”
The guard’s voice was a little higher.
Then he lowered his voice: "Just wait, I'm going to find the deputy director of our steel factory. Don't leave, don't leave..."
The old man was afraid that Song Wei would go to the textile factory. , warned her several times, her legs and feet were running smoothly and she ran to the family courtyard.
Meat, that’s pork!
Pork is a scarce resource in this era. Even for large factories, it is not easy to purchase enough to provide workers with benefits and add a bit of meat.
The steel factory has indeed been worrying about this recently.
Large factories like steel plants have to provide some benefits during holidays. Although they don't have to eat meat every month, they have to give workers some meat every few months.
Otherwise they would have to cause trouble, which would not be a good reputation for the factory leaders.
But pork is not that good. There are no pig farms in their county. If you want a whole head of pork, you have to find a way to contact pig farms in other places, or wait until the brigade delivers the task pigs. when.
This factory may not be able to apply.
So it is really difficult to give the workers some meat.
The kind that even money can't buy.
The deputy director of the steel factory was having dinner at home. When he heard the news from the guard, he stopped eating and ran out immediately after throwing away his bowl and chopsticks.
They were afraid that Song Wei would run away because of their speed, so Song Wei didn't wait long before he saw the doorman bringing a panting middle-aged man.
"Where's the meat? Where's the pork?"
Song Wei didn't talk nonsense to him: "Two big wild boars, one weighs more than 300 kilograms and the other weighs more than 400 kilograms. Can the two little ones weigh about eighty pounds in total?”
Surprise flashed in the eyes of the deputy director: "Yes! This is not enough for all the employees of our steel plant to use chopsticks."
Song Wei: That's easy to handle.
“Let’s talk first, the wild boars were all freshly hunted today, and the two little ones are even alive. Although they are wild boars, the price cannot be too low. The ones with tickets are 60 cents without tickets. Can you accept the price of 90 cents?”
The deputy director nodded without hesitation: “Yes!”
The current price of a whole head of pork fluctuates around 70 cents, and wild boars have stocks. The fishy smell is cheaper, but the meat is not much cheaper, let alone hundreds of kilograms of whole pork. Even if Song Wei's price is higher, there are still many people rushing to get it.
Seeing that the deputy director agreed readily, Song Wei was in a good mood.
"The meat is in the mountains outside the county. Do you have a cart?"
There must be. The deputy director even called his son.
Including the old guard, they left with Song Wei.
After walking some distance, they were all surprised when they saw Song Wei pulling out a child from a corner.
Song Wei: "The situation at home is special. It's not easy to leave the child at home, so I brought him with me."
The three of them also looked at each other and didn't ask any more questions.
This kind of thing happens secretly. It is not a good thing for them to just deal with each other and ask too many questions.
Fortunately, there were no people on the street now. After Song Wei took them to the place where the wild boar was hidden, the three of them could see clearly with the light of the flashlight.
“Wow, wow, this wild boar is so fat! It’s bigger than the pigs in the pig farm. It’s the biggest pig I’ve ever seen. It weighs three to four hundred kilograms at least.”
The deputy director of the steel plant grinned with joy, and his smile was extremely cheerful.
