Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 168 167 Looking again
"Euclidean, I asked about the method you mentioned last week. The superiors disagreed and said that the conditions for implementation are not yet available. Firstly, the prefecture and city bureaus below have not yet opened up the situation in promoting postal codes. Secondly, there is a shortage of fabrics and there is no way. Increase the scale of investment." Tang Zhitong went to work on Monday, and Fangyuan relayed the original words to Tang Zhitong while stumbling.

"Damn it, those two sentences were so elegant, I've memorized them for a long time." Fang Yuan threw his hat on the table and complained.

"Brother Yuan, I'm sorry, it's my fault because I didn't think well." Tang Zhitong heard that it was true. Printing the zip code on the mail bag can only be sent out in a targeted manner. How to take it back is a problem. The utilization efficiency is indeed not tall.

"It's okay. We have been asked to overcome the difficulties ourselves. I'll leave this matter to you. The materials are all on the table. You take a look first. I'll go out and get some fresh air." After finishing speaking, Fangyuan patted Tang Zhitong on the shoulder, took off his coat, and put on his clothes. I put on my vest and left the tendon meat to dry. It was obvious that I was going out to carry my bag.

Okay, Tang Zhitong smiled bitterly, just do what you do and love what you do, and see if you can think of another way.

Fangyuan prepared a lot of materials for Tang Zhitong, including the personnel list of the escort department, escort routes and stops, fixed assets (especially mail bags), rules and regulations, etc.

Tang Zhitong felt his head grow bigger after looking at it for a long time, but he also gained a lot and had a clear understanding of the current operation method of the escort department.

Escort routes are roughly divided into two types: short-distance escort and long-distance escort.

Short-distance escort is letter transportation in counties around Sijiucheng, which is less difficult.

Long-distance escort is the transportation of letters across the country, which is divided into two directions, north and south. The difficulty increases exponentially.

Tang Zhitong followed a short-distance escort when he went to Qinghe Farm and a long-distance escort when he went to Quancheng. He had a personal experience of the escort work.

Today's escorts not only deliver parcels to designated locations at stops, and then pick up new parcels. Their own mail trucks also have the function of mobile post offices, receiving letters delivered directly from the train station.

Post offices in various cities will bag the letters they need to transfer and throw them directly on their own mail trucks. They will not classify and package the letters according to their destination in advance, so the escorts have to unpack the newly loaded parcels after the train starts. , carry out tasks such as sorting letters, stamping, and repacking, and put down the corresponding packaged mail parcels at the corresponding stations later. The same goes for the return trip, which starts over and over again, so it is very hard.

In fact, this is not only the case with post offices in other cities, but also with the letters delivered to the Escort Department by the transfer office every day. After arriving, they are manually sorted and packed, and loaded onto self-contained mail trucks of different trains depending on the destination.

As for letting other cities or transshipment offices take on the sorting work, judging from the current situation, the possibility is infinitely close to zero.

No matter how much we talk about dedication, it is still within the scope of our job.

Unless the responsibilities are re-divided from above, this road is already blocked. Fangyuan relayed this morning: "If there are difficulties, you can overcome them yourself."

The tone has been set above, and the next step can only be solved within the Escort Department.

Looking at the rules and regulations, Tang Zhitong thinks they are quite crude, but also very interesting. When does armed vigilance have anything to do with mail bags?

There are generally three types of mail bags that the escort department often encounters.

The first type is a mail bag made of white canvas, which is used to carry domestic ordinary mail. It has the bag number, year number, italics, and Arabic numerals printed on it. This kind of mail bag is the most numerous and common. The second type is a nylon bag for express mail, with one side white and one side red. It usually contains things like registered mail, which need to be handed over to the recipient in person and require a signature.

The third type is the confidential mail bag, which is made of white canvas but printed with red and white vertical stripes. When you encounter this kind of mail, you have to brace yourself when handing it over. There must be someone on duty with eyes open and a gun. The train can be driven more relaxedly and can reach a speed of [-] kilometers per hour. Who can pick up the mail truck? Even if you grab the door, you can't open it. It's locked inside, unless you carry electric welding or argon arc welding with you.

Some people may say, don’t mail trucks have windows? The mail truck has windows, but there is a layer of barbed wire outside...

Seeing that it was noon, Tang Zhitong still had no clue, but people are like iron rice or steel, they must eat.

The canteen of the escort department is the busiest at noon, with the largest number of people. There are escorts who live in dormitories off duty, administrative staff, and sorters.

Ever since Fangyuan and Gao Lide persuaded Tang Zhitong to come to the cafeteria to eat, Tang Zhitong consciously brought a lunch box with extra cooking oil and cooking oil. The taste was improved to a higher level, and five cents was a good deal.

As for the problem of cleaning the lunch box, Tang Zhitong will put two spoons of soup in it after eating, and drink it directly. There is no oil and water, and it will not get dirty anywhere. He will fill up the space and take it home for his sister to clean...

After lunch, Tang Zhitong didn't leave in a hurry. He squatted in front of the cafeteria and smoked a cigarette. He asked Master Gao Lide if he had something to do.

As mentioned earlier, before Tang Zhitong came here, he heard from the older generation that soy sauce had degenerated from pouring fermentation to salt-free fermentation, but he did not expect that this day would come so quickly. The soy sauce bought on the street now is very bad. What's going on? This is unbearable for a cook.

Although there are many first-class soy sauces in Tang Zhitong’s space, if you can still buy Pu Lin soy sauce (fermented soy sauce), of course it is better to spend money to buy some. After all, when he was at the construction site, Tang Zhitong did not expect that he could If you find a wife so quickly, you have to take care of her there, right?

After waiting for about twenty minutes, when all the colleagues dining in the cafeteria had dispersed, Tang Zhitong walked back into the kitchen to look for Gao Lide.

"Master Gao, could you please take a step to speak?" Tang Zhitong didn't waste any time after knocking on the door and called out Gao Lide directly.

"Master Tang, I heard that Fang Ke was re-employed, congratulations." Gao Lide came to the door of the cafeteria and handed over the cigarette without stopping talking or holding his hands idle.

"Hey, whether it's reused or not, it's all work. I have something else to do with you. I want to ask, can I buy the kind of soy sauce in our cafeteria?" Tang Zhitong knew that Gao Lide was talking about salary accounting and payment. How much does this cost? It's a show-off job, but I don't want to get entangled in this topic.

"How much do you want?" Gao Lide nodded and asked.

"This stuff won't go bad. I'll need it for pickles later on. Can it be [-] or [-] pounds?" Tang Zhitong heard Gao Lide's words as if he could do it, so he said "a little more" or "a little more."

"This amount... I'll give it a try. You must know what's going on outside, and I don't dare to hide it from you, Master Tang. I just ordered fifty kilograms today and will pick it up tomorrow. I heard that this is the batch." Gao Lide He smiled bitterly.

"Alas, that's because I'm ignorant." Tang Zhitong looked embarrassed and took out two boxes of peony plugs from his pocket. Gao Lide said: "I won't take your share. Could you please say a word and see if you can Want to buy more?"
