Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 46 Supply Tightness
"My side is also the same. When I contacted him yesterday, I asked if I could free up some supplies." Another colleague also smiled helplessly: "Where can we free up supplies here? There are so many in the factory. More mouths are waiting, the supply in the factory has been reduced recently."

"The weekly supply of white flour steamed buns has also decreased a lot. When I went to order vegetables yesterday, the portion of the dishes was also a little less than before. Now my family dare not even eat more steamed buns. I am afraid that if I eat too much, I will not last until the end of the month. Alright," another co-worker chimed in.

"That's something that can't be helped. My family is the same. No one is having a good time at this time. You guys talk first. I'm going out to see if I can open up a new channel."

"I'll go out too. I'll go to remind you. The planned quota for this week is still far from being fulfilled."

"Our factory is originally a heavy industry with a lot of consumption. We need a lot of unplanned food and meat to ensure that the workers can complete their tasks on time. Not to mention unplanned purchases now, the planned quota has been delayed in recent weeks. Procrastinate again, give a little more at a time, give a little more at a time."

"I'll go with you in a while. Meat was still available a few days ago, but as every family started preparing new year's goods, there is basically no meat supply in the entire capital. Even if there is, it's canned meat."

Zhang Yu didn't know that it was already so difficult in the factory. Ever since he signed up for the New Year's gift package, he found an excuse to take out part of it, and he never went out to buy anything. The things at home, meat and other food were taken from before. from.Because the weather was cold during this period, he resumed eating three meals with his sister-in-law, so he didn't have to buy it.

And in the factory, because he has not been employed for a full year, even if he goes out to purchase, he is mostly responsible for the part of the purchase plan, which is all rationed, and he can basically get it back after going out with the car.

Thinking about it now, he hasn't smelled meat in the courtyard for a long time.

According to his memory, at this time in previous years, every household in the yard would steam some steamed buns. During these days, the whole yard would emit the aroma of steamed buns.

At this time in previous years, after each family steamed steamed buns, even if they were used to visit relatives, not many steamed buns were steamed.But those who love their children will share one with them when it is steamed, and then the children will not be willing to eat it all at once. They will often hold the steamed buns and show them around in the yard before they are envied by many children. He ate with small bites in his eyes.

Zhang Yu patted his forehead, recalling the scene when he was eating at his sister-in-law's house. Now that he thought about it, he realized that the big brother and the others who had to eat three steamed buns and two big bowls of porridge before had more than halved their appetite.Presumably, they had discovered the supply problem and secretly reduced their own food intake. I am afraid that he was the only one in the whole family who still ate and drank as before.

Although he would find an excuse to take back some food, but usually he would only bring home white flour or meat, and with the current supply problem, he didn't dare to take too much at a time.

He secretly scolded himself, knowing that the past three years in history have been difficult, and he was still so careless, just thinking that he has a lot of food in the system space, there are things planted in the secret space, and there are daily system check-in subsidies.

But I didn't expect to store up some food for the family on the bright side before the three years started.

It seems that he has to hurry up. It's just that the supply is difficult now, and it has not yet reached a more serious time.

Take advantage of this period of Chinese New Year to pour some coarse grains at home, so that the family can feel at ease.

Thinking of this, he tidied up the system space, and then suddenly found that money and bills are rarely signed in recently, but mostly physical objects.

But that’s fine, now is the era of ticket supply, which means that only certain items will be issued with which tickets. It’s okay to buy things once or twice with the tickets rewarded by the system. superior.

After he finished sorting out the things in the system space, Uncle Wang walked in, clapped his hands and said, "Comrades, I know that procurement is difficult now, but the task is tight in the near future, and the higher authorities require us to add a layer of storage in addition to the original plan." The workload, so we have to try our best to overcome the difficulties of unplanned materials and so on, let's be busy for a few more days, and we will have a holiday after these few days of work."

"Director, it's not that we don't purchase, it's that we really can't get anything."

"That's right, there are so many things on the market now, and the slaughterhouse can't make room for anything."

Hearing Director Wang's words, the people below discussed a lot, and they all showed embarrassment.

"I know, I know, I know it's difficult for you to purchase, but in order to support the construction, try harder. The meeting in the factory decided that as long as the materials can be purchased, even if it is a little more expensive."

Director Wang also has no choice. He also knows that it is not easy to purchase these days. All the unplanned supplies this week are all brought in by him begging his grandpa to tell his grandma.

Favors were used for many materials, but favors were used less once. For his sake, he could purchase things this time, but it would be hard to say next time.

After the meeting, all the staff were sent out, even a few people who had never participated in unplanned purchases were also sent out.

Director Wang thought that people who can enter the lucrative department of purchasing will have more or less background, and more or less will have something to do with it.

It is also to let them try their luck. In case the blind cat encounters a dead mouse, even if one of the five can purchase something, it is good.

And Zhang Yu rode his bicycle to the brigade where he purchased things for the first time, but this time he didn't buy anything.

Because of the shortage of food, many poultry and livestock had nothing to feed them, and they were all sold off as they were about to lose their bids.

Even if it is barely fed, the weather is so cold in this winter, chickens and ducks don't lay eggs much.

After waiting for more than an hour, I only received half a back of betel eggs, which looked like a lot, but with so many people in the factory, it was only enough for everyone to drink a bowl of very weak egg soup.

Seeing that he bought this little thing, he didn't plan to call back.

He borrowed two ropes from the brigade department, and tied a big betel on each side of the back seat of the car.

Then put some straw in the two baskets, split the eggs into two and put them inside.

When he was about to reach the factory, he stopped the car, took out eggs from the space to fill his back, and then took out the purchase list and made a few changes.

It can only produce this little thing, and there is no reason to produce pork for a while.

Director Wang was already very happy that he was able to purchase two large betel eggs, and patted him on the back: "You boy has the ability."
