Chapter 256 I want to install wires in the factory
When Wu Xianglan handed the things over, Shen Meng was a little surprised. These things were equivalent to plucking feathers from a stingy person. However, seeing that she was so sincere, Shen Meng did not refuse and accepted them directly.
I had a hotpot with a few children the night before. The little ones were very happy with the meal and wanted to eat it again tonight. They clapped their hands and sat at the table, looking at Shen Meng with bright eyes.
It was impossible to have hot pot, after all, we didn't prepare it in advance. But there were some rice noodles at home that Lu Zhenping brought back from southern Yunnan. We could make a bowl for each of them. It would be convenient, simple and quick, and we wouldn't have to cook anything else.
After soaking the rice noodles, I started preparing the side dishes, including bean sprouts, green vegetables, kelp shreds, tofu skin shreds, the bone broth in the space, and a spoonful of chili oil. It was delicious.
"Let's have rice noodles tonight. If you want to have hotpot, wait until your dad comes back next time. Eating strong-flavored food all the time is bad for your health and can easily cause you to get angry."
"Mom, today we went to the Touhua Factory to see the construction of the house. The construction there is really fast. My third aunt has recruited a large group of people. However, some old men in our village are scolding you and the village cadres, saying that so many people come to work to earn money, which will delay the planting of crops in the future."
"I heard it, too. I think that old man, ah~ so hot, just saw me and said it in front of me on purpose. Hum, I guessed his intention right away."
When Mingfang saw that her two brothers had finished talking, she opened her mouth but said nothing. They were all children, and these things were just talk among adults. Those who talked about their mother behind her back, didn't they all have no one in their family working in the hairpin factory? They must be jealous when they saw others making money while they couldn't!
"They may say harsh things, but they must be feeling very bad inside, mom, don't be angry."
Shen Meng was a little surprised as she listened to Ming Kai comforting her. This child seemed to have become much more sensible in recent days, and every word he said was surprising.
"Mom is not angry, but if you heard what the villagers said, just pretend you didn't hear it. Some older people have a very deep love for the land and crops. A dozen years ago, people basically didn't have enough food or warm clothes, and many people starved to death. So seeing so many people enter the hair flower factory, I feel very complicated. On the one hand, I am happy to see that everyone can make money, but on the other hand, I feel that if everyone goes out to make money, there will be fewer people working on the crops, and I am worried that no one will work during the double harvest. This is also very understandable."
Even though Mingliang was thirsty from the spiciness, he still finished the soup in the bowl. He put down the bowl and looked at Shen Meng and said, "Mom, after hearing what you said, I won't secretly scold the old men and women in the village when I hear them gossip. They are so pitiful."
Shen Meng: “.”
Come on, next time we meet, you might not be able to resist quarreling with others!!!
After dinner, before Shen Meng had time to put away the dishes and take them to the kitchen, there was a knock on the courtyard door. Director Guo came in with a stack of information in his hand, followed by Lu Debang and Zhang Hongfa.
"Xiao Meng, hehe, we are here to report good news to you. Hey, have you just had dinner?"
"Look at what you said. What is there to report? I just had my meal. Have you eaten? There is still some rice noodles in the pot. If you haven't eaten, I will boil two bowls for you. I will also let you taste the specialties that Zhenping brought from southern Yunnan."
"No hurry, no hurry, let's talk about things first, sit down and have a seat."
After Lu Debang said so, Shen Meng had to put down her bowl and chopsticks. She took the information handed over by Director Guo and read it carefully. "These are the workers who have just joined the factory. They are making the most basic styles. The more complicated ones are made by our experienced people. The heavy-duty hair ornaments are made by our skilled workers and the team leaders. Now everyone is working overtime to rush the work. The following pictures show the types and quantities of hair ornaments that have passed the inspection. At this speed, we will be able to complete the orders before the end of the month."
"Yes, the new factory building has been built. We no longer have to gather in the yard to work."
"Everything is stable now. We are just waiting to complete the order and deliver the goods!"
Shen Meng took a look and put the information on the table. She nodded. It is said that people born in the 1970s are the most hard-working generation. They are very proactive.
"Very good. You have all worked very hard during this period. I have a question that I want to raise. The leaders will discuss it first. I will go and get you some hot rice noodles. You will be able to eat soon. It is too late to not eat. People are made of iron and rice is made of steel. If you don't eat, you will be very hungry."
"what?"
Shen Meng picked up the dishes and chopsticks on the table again.
"It's like this. The official document for our factory construction will be issued in two days. I think we need to put up the wires. Our orders will only get bigger and bigger in the future. Although the factory has been expanded now, if we don't put up the wires, if customers suddenly increase their orders in the future, we won't be able to make it in time just by working during the day."
When they heard that they were going to install electric wires, several leaders frowned so hard that a fly could be pinched to death. In all these years, the commune has only installed one electric wire. Their Lujia Village has had good harvests in recent years, so they were allocated one electric wire. Unless there are major incidents, it is never used. This kilowatt-hour of electricity costs several cents. Who can afford it?
If a factory installs electrical wires, it will have to buy light bulbs. Is it really necessary to install electrical wires just to do needlework?
Shen Meng took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen, she reheated the stove and started to steam the rice noodles.
Everything is ready. Put the side dishes and seasonings in three large sand basins, pour a bowl of hot soup, put the blanched rice noodles into the sand basins, add chopped green onions and coriander, and the rice noodles are ready.
She brought the 30,000-meter noodles into the main room, and also took the vinegar and chili oil from the stove.
"Put some chili and vinegar in there if you can eat them. Think about it while you eat. There's no rush. If you think it's okay, go and mention it to Director Feng and see what he says. You can keep it in mind for now. After the first batch of goods is delivered and John pays the balance, you can bring it up again. It will be more convincing."
"Not bad, not bad. What we have received now is just the down payment. We will ask for the final payment after we get it at the end of the month. I think what Xiao Meng said makes sense. Once the news of creating foreign exchange gets out and it's published in the newspaper, I don't know how many companies will be vying for our down payment!"
Director Guo picked up a mouthful of rice noodles with her chopsticks. No matter what was suggested, she was very much in favor of it. After all, it was all for the good of the factory and the village. Wow, are these rice noodles so delicious?
Lu Debang and Zhang Hongfa also nodded frequently. The smell was so delicious that they had no time to think about factories. Eating was the most important thing in the world!
