Chapter 493 Eating (Second update)

The first man nodded expressionlessly. He had already become the workshop director, but it seemed that due to an accident, he became the team leader again.

Of course, the main reason for the news that Liu Hai got was that the first uncle wrote the report letter. Who knew who passed it on to the factory director who came later. Later, there was an accident in the workshop, and the final responsibility was placed on the first uncle. .

Fortunately, there is no substantial evidence to prove the report letter written by the first master, otherwise it would be impossible to remain as the team leader.

The main reason is that after the elder became the workshop director, he took himself too seriously, was very calculating and stingy, and was not very upright and fair in his dealings with others.

When a leader is fair or unfair, his subordinates know best, so when something happens, the people below will pass the responsibility to the first boss. In addition, the leader does not like the guy who writes the report letter, so the first boss does not become the second boss. The workshop director in 2006 became the team leader again.

The key is that no one under the first uncle can support him. When the second uncle was the workshop director, he not only had many disciples, but also taught his disciples with all their heart and tried their best to handle things as squarely and fairly as possible.

The third uncle took a sip of wine and nodded: "It has indeed gotten better in recent years. Our school's funding is increasing every year, and the hardware facilities are getting better and better. Now our school has many sports facilities, such as basketball, football, and table tennis. ball."

"Teachers also have more teaching aids, and the printing of textbooks is getting better and better. In the past, when there were not enough textbooks, we teachers would first copy on the blackboard, and then let the students copy below."

"Even sometimes you have to write questions on the blackboard for exams, and sometimes you have to engrave and print them on wax paper yourself."

The third uncle still likes to take advantage. After finishing the wine in the cup, he picks it up and fills it first for himself and then for others.

Of course it doesn't matter if Liu Hai doesn't drink. After all, the first and second uncles are cadres, so they don't drink so quickly.

The third uncle took advantage of the situation and put the wine bottle in front of him. As for the eldest son of the second uncle's family, he is now working as a section chief in the lumber factory, and he does not dare to drink with his father around.

"The school has provided good welfare in recent years." Regarding the development of society, the third uncle has the best experience.

In fact, teachers have always been a disadvantaged group. Liu has known all his life that many places are owed wages to teachers.

When reforms are carried out later, it seems that teachers will be kicked out of the establishment again.

But if you want to say that teachers are a vulnerable group, it is not quite right. A small number of teachers feel like emperors to their students’ parents.

"Although wages have not increased in recent years, the supply and marketing cooperative has more and more goods, and the factory pays a lot of benefits every year. Basically, I don't buy anything during the New Year." The second uncle ate a peanut and said.

The uncle sighed slightly: "It's just that money is becoming less and less useful."

"Master, what you said is wrong. In the past, we couldn't buy anything with money and tickets, but now as long as we have money, we can basically buy it." Xu Damao greeted around and then came to the main room. Sit down at this side of the table.

"First Master, Second Master, Third Master, Brother Liu, Xiao Liu, thank you very much for your expense!" Xu Damao raised his glass and said respectfully to everyone.

Xiao Liu is the second uncle’s boss.

"You're welcome!" The second uncle and others raised their glasses and said, Liu Hai was also holding a glass with the Arctic Ocean in it.

In fact, Liu Hai doesn't like to drink this kind of artificially blended Arctic Ocean, but now that the Arctic Ocean is available on the table, the owner is very willing to do so.

In fact, the flavors of most drinks are all artificial chemical synthesis, and even many of the condiments behind them are also artificial chemical synthesis.

The first man drank the wine in one gulp and then said: "Anyway, I feel that the money in my hand is not spent. However, the welfare benefits in the factory have indeed improved a lot in recent years. Every year, two more sets of clothes are issued."

The third uncle diligently filled everyone's glasses, and then placed the bottle in front of him.

Everyone knew what the third uncle was like, and no one said anything. They had been in the same courtyard for decades, and they knew each other's personalities very well.

"Now we spend more time eating meat in the factory. In the past, we often just boiled cabbage. I still remember when Erzhuzi was serving food for others, and we would quarrel and fight over a little bit of oil soup." Xu Damao hurriedly ate after drinking. He took a bite of stewed carrots and then spoke.

"At that time, the family was in difficulty, and most of the steamed buns we ate were sweet potatoes and corn flour. Unlike now, Dabai steamed buns are often eaten." The second uncle nodded. Everyone in the yard knew about Er Zhuzi's embarrassing things.

"Have you noticed that the white noodles we have now are more delicious than before?" When it comes to eating, the third uncle said.

"I heard that most of the white noodles we eat now are imported?" Xu Damao looked at his bangs when he said this.

"It should be about the same." Liu Hai really knows that the dealers use our money to purchase various materials in North America in large quantities, of which wheat also accounts for a large share.

"The instant noodles from the motorcycle factory are quite delicious. The key is that you don't need a ticket, but the price is a bit expensive." Xu Damao added after hearing Liu Hai's words.

"Xiaohai, I heard that instant noodles are fried? Is it true?" The second uncle remembered something when he heard this and asked.

Liu Hai ate a piece of pork belly, nodded and replied: "It is indeed fried, but it is palm oil, which is the oil squeezed from the fruit of a tree abroad."

The third uncle was surprised when he heard this and asked: "Does this mean that all the instant noodles, from noodles to oil, are imported?"

"That's right." Liu Hai replied affirmatively.

"Why are foreign products cheaper than ours?" The third uncle was a little puzzled when he heard this.

"Abroads are basically plains, and they use mechanized farming. Their family can plant hundreds or even thousands of acres of land." Liu Hai could only answer simply.

Not to mention now, even when Liu Hai traveled through time, many people didn't know what it was like abroad, and they kept boasting about permanent property rights abroad, washing dishes, buying a car in three months, and buying a house in a year.

Of course, most of the people who say this are some intermediaries. Only after you owe hundreds of thousands to go out will you realize that it is also difficult abroad.

Liu Hai knew that when he was in school, an old professor and his wife gave up the superior environment in China and spent millions to buy a ranch in North America.

As a result, they almost went bankrupt in the first year. They thought that the pasture they bought could be used for farming and farming.

It turns out that there are regulations on everything in pasture farming, including how many cows, sheep, and chickens should be raised in a pasture.

It’s not that you can raise as many as you want. If you raise too many, they will prosecute you for animal cruelty. Of course, if you pay the fine first, you will be exempted from prosecution.

Not only did the old professor and his wife fail to comply with the regulations of the Animal Husbandry Association, but they also planted some crops without authorization. The farm there also has regulations, and the crops you grow on your farm are also regulated.

Speaking of animal husbandry associations and agricultural associations, they are exactly like our planned economy.

These are still high-level intellectuals in the country, let alone other ordinary people who don’t know the details. The key point is that the laws of each state in the United States are different. Maybe it is a legal business in one state, but it is illegal in another state.

Moreover, various regulations vary from place to place, such as house taxes.

There are also people who speculate in real estate in the United States and think they can make money by renting out their properties. Some are forced to commit suicide.

Because the landlord has no right to forcibly evict the tenant, it will be very troublesome if the tenant refuses to leave.

"It's really amazing! One family can grow so much land, no wonder food is cheap there." Hearing this, Xu Damao nodded and suddenly realized.

Liu Hai did not say that agricultural subsidies from Laos and the United States are quite high, and that agricultural subsidies from Laos and the United States depend entirely on world food prices.

Because Lao America is also using grain to control global food prices. If other countries have food shortages, Lao America will reduce domestic subsidies for grain and raise grain export prices.

This will lead to an increase in global food prices, and those countries with food shortages will have to spend a lot of money to buy food.

If other countries have a bumper grain harvest, then the United States will increase domestic grain subsidies, so that countries with a bumper grain harvest will not be able to export enough grain.

Of course, this is just a means, and it also includes publishing false forecast information, or provoking troubles in some major grain-producing areas, and creating incidents to prevent others from exporting grain.

In this regard, our country suffered a loss once, that is, the soybean incident. Later, during the second food war, our huge reserves made the other party beg for mercy.

Liu Hai was thinking about soybeans, thinking that the export of our unique domestic wild soybeans should be restricted.

All soybeans in the world originate from our country, including the genetically modified soybeans that Meng Sandu later screened, which also come from our domestic wild soybeans.

The main reason was that we didn’t understand at the time that when others asked for wild soybeans, we gave them to them and suffered the loss of poor information.

"I can use space to cultivate soybeans." Liu Hai thought of the flow rate in his own space. It would definitely be no problem to cultivate soybeans, even for natural screening.

Not to mention the impact of space energy, there are already successful cases.

Potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, these are three successful cases.

"Although instant noodles are a bit expensive, they contain seasonings, vegetables, and sauces, so they are still very good."

"Last week we worked overtime in the factory, so we distributed instant noodles with seaweed and shrimp in them. They tasted quite good." The uncle also nodded.

"No wonder it tastes delicious to me. It turns out it's fried." The eldest son of the second uncle's family also nodded.

"Xiaohai, your motorcycle factory has come up with many new inventions. In the past, there were barbecue, roast duck, and grilled fish, and now there are instant noodles." The second uncle said this to praise the motorcycle factory.

Liu Hai smiled slightly. The instant noodles produced by the motorcycle factory are now in short supply. Of course, those who work as supporting factories for the motorcycle factory will definitely be able to get the instant noodles first.

Nowadays, instant noodles are a high-end thing. If you can eat a bag of instant noodles, you can eat more noodles than eating on a table. It can only be said that scarcity is more valuable.

The motorcycle factory is also developing other flavors of instant noodles, which need to be suitable for the tastes of the masses. The masses here refer to the tastes of everyone in the country.

"Brother, can you buy us some instant noodles for the Chinese New Year, so we can give them away?" Xu Damao asked Liu Hai at this time.

"It's not a big problem." Liu Hai is not surprised about giving instant noodles to others. At this time, if he goes to a relative's house and gives him a package of biscuits, a handful of noodles, a pound of sugar, or a can, no one would be dissatisfied. some type of.

For newly released high-end goods like instant noodles, it is more respectable to give them away. Not to mention that the flour and oil used to make instant noodles are imported, so it is even more respectable to give them away.

When Liu Hai traveled through time, many people who bought oil checked to see if it was imported genetically modified oil. No one bought imported oil.

It can only be said that times are different and perceptions are different. This is also the biggest reason why Liu Hai cannot chat and fart with people today.

Because of what people said now, Liu Hai wanted to refute, but he couldn't say all the things.

And most people live in their own perceptions. If you just say it with your mouth, others won’t believe you.

"Thank you then." Xu Damao smiled.

"Brother Liu is still capable. I remember when the motorcycle factory first started making roast duck, Brother Liu invited us to eat roast duck." The eldest son of the second uncle's family gave Liu Hai a thumbs up when he heard this.

"Don't you think who is the first to have a bicycle or drive a car in our courtyard?" Xu Damao said after hearing this.

"It's government-owned stuff. Even though I had the advantage of working in the motorcycle factory, our maintenance department was the last to change the bikes." Liu Hai said quickly.

"Your motorcycle factory has good remuneration, but it's very difficult to get into your factory now. It basically doesn't recruit workers outside. Even many of the factory's employees need to take exams, and they can't get in if they don't pass the exam." The second uncle nodded. The benefits of the motorcycle factory The treatment is first-class in the entire Kyoto.

When the uncle heard this, he said: "If the motorcycle factory can build airplanes now, it will definitely need senior skilled workers who can read. Those who fail the exam will definitely not be able to enter the factory to build airplanes. Otherwise, who will be responsible if something goes wrong."

"It just doesn't have to be as powerful as our steel rolling mill."

"It's hard to enter your steel rolling mill now." The third uncle shook his head when he heard this.

The second uncle smiled bitterly: "Now you have to memorize the factory rules before entering the factory. In addition, responsibility cards are being implemented. If you don't fill in these things, you will not be able to work in the future. Many old workers in our factory have to go to night school to study at night. If they fail the exam again and again, they will not be able to work. I need to be transferred, and I don’t know who invented this responsibility card.”

Xu Damao heard this and said: "I think this responsibility card is very good. If all responsibility cards were implemented, this kind of thing would not happen to me."

When the uncle heard this, he drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and then said depressedly: "I support the implementation of the responsibility card with both hands. If something goes wrong, you can go to whoever you should go to. Otherwise, others will tell you."

When Liu Hai heard this, he was not surprised at all. It is still difficult to promote the responsibility card system, especially in enterprises such as steel rolling mills in the past. There were many old workers. These old workers have nothing to say in terms of skills, but they are good at reading and reading. It's relatively weak in terms of exams.

Standardization, even when Liu Hai traveled through it, was just a decoration in many factories. Now the best ones to promote standardization are export-related companies.

"Brother, does your maintenance department also have a responsibility card?" Xu Damao took a bite of pig lungs and asked Liu Hai curiously.
