Chapter 168: Quota for the post

The next day was Friday. Qin Ming asked for leave from his class teacher on the grounds that he had to prepare for the grade-skipping exam, and then left the school.

At the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, Director Yang took a newspaper from his secretary and started studying it.

"I really can't understand why my appointment notice hasn't come out after such a long time?"

"It stands to reason that my political achievements are not small. There is no reason why you would not promote me?"

"Does the higher-ups think I haven't done enough?"

"Why don't you go to Qin Ming and ask him to help you think of a way to come up with some new inventions?"

Although the steel rolling mill has expanded and now has 10,000 people, and the administrative level of these people has also been raised one level, Director Yang is not satisfied.

In his opinion, although it is good now, if it can be done better, then it will naturally be the most suitable.

But he could only think about it to find Qin Ming. After all, although he knew that Qin Ming was at Beiqing University, he also used his own methods to find people, but he was stopped in the end.

How could a good student not be in school? Factory Director Yang was not an ignorant person, so he immediately understood that Qin Ming must be inventing again.

"I don't know when this uncle will come out, but my future depends on you!"

Director Yang was just talking when he suddenly heard someone knocking on his office door, "Please come in!"

The door was pushed open, and Director Yang suddenly stood up.

What did he see?

Qin Ming, who had disappeared for a long time, actually appeared.

"Good boy, you really made me wait!"

"Director Yang, I'm taking the liberty of visiting you. Didn't I disturb you?" Qin Ming smiled and handed the other party a cigarette. "What's the matter? You are the only college student in our Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant. It's only for me, an old man, to come and see me." pleasure."

By chance, Deputy Director Li walked in with documents. When he saw Qin Ming, he naturally said hello again.

"Director Yang, Deputy Director Li, you two are here just in time. I come back this time to trouble you with something."

Qin Ming came to resign.

The two factory directors naturally disagreed, but Qin Ming also had his own reasons.

"If there are any cooperation projects in the future, I will think of our factory immediately, but now I have to quit this job."

"Brother, please tell me the truth. Do you think our factory is too small to accommodate you?" Although Deputy Factory Director Li was smiling, he was in a very uneasy mood. If he wanted to take over, the first thing he needed to do was to recruit Yang. The factory director gave way.

As long as Director Yang stayed in this position for a day, he would not be able to become the director. Originally, according to his plan, Director Yang would be transferred soon, but he did not expect that after Qin Ming went to college, Director Yang would remain in office. If he doesn't move in the position of factory director, he will not be able to move up.

"Brother, you know best what kind of person I am."

"I know what I have to do next, and I really can't care about the steel rolling mill."

"Rather than keep this quota, I feel guilty, so I can no longer take the money, and I plan to give up the quota."

"Qin Ming, I know what you mean. You don't want to take advantage of Guo Jia. You have a good intention. If you really want to resign, then I suggest you find someone to take your place."

Qin Ming was stunned, "Is this okay?"

"You are a worker in our steel rolling mill. As long as you take the initiative to give up your job, there is no problem in principle. However, you were a fitter before, so the person who takes your place can only be a fitter, and he needs to be an apprentice. start."

After coming out of the steel rolling mill, Qin Ming was thinking about who would be more suitable to give his job.

There are four brothers and two sisters in their family. Now that the fifth sister and the fourth brother are settled, the next spot will be chosen from the eldest brother, the second sister, and the third brother.

Their family is living a good life now, but because the second sister is too far apart, he doesn't give much practical help.

It seems that this matter requires the second sister to come back.

Qin Ming went to the post office and called the commune where his second sister was working. He asked the commune president to tell his second sister to go home.

As for the specific matter, Qin Ming will naturally not say it on the phone. I believe that with this call, the second sister will be able to go home tonight.

It was still early in the day. Qin Ming looked at the sky, then turned around and went to Fengze Garden.

Before meal time, there were no guests in Fengze Garden. Li Jianguo directed the service staff in the front office to perform cleaning work. Everyone was surprised to see Qin Ming appear.

"Chef, why are you here?"

When he heard the waiter calling him the chef, Li Jianguo turned around and saw Qin Ming, and walked over immediately.

"Brother Qin, why are you here today? Is there something urgent?"

You must know that today is Friday. At this time, Qin Ming should be in class in the spacious and bright classroom in Beiqing. Now that he appears here, could something happen?

"Brother Li, I came here specifically to see you. Let's go and talk later!"

When he heard that Qin Ming had something to do with him, Li Jianguo took him to the small room without delay.

At the same time, the news that Qin Ming came to Fengze Garden also spread.

The happiest people were Zhou Yi and Liu Hai, but Lin Guodong had a gloomy look on his face. Qin Ming was not in school, so why did he suddenly come out?

Is there something wrong?

Lin Guodong was worried about Qin Ming, his apprentice, so he sent people to watch from the front and notify him as soon as Qin Ming finished talking to Li Jianguo.

"What? You want to resign? Brother, did I do something wrong somewhere? That's what I am, a rough person. Please forgive me for what's wrong and point it out to me directly. I will definitely correct it... ..." Li Jianguo was anxious. The weather this year has been abnormal. From the beginning of spring to now, there hasn't been a drop of rain, and there are even fewer diners.

That is to say, relying on the reputation of Qin Ming, a second-level chef, the efficiency of their Fengze Garden is pretty good. A large part of the reason why those old gourmets support Fengze Garden is that Fengze Garden launches a new dish every month. A dish developed by a second-level chef himself.

But if Qin Ming really leaves Fengzeyuan, without strong new dishes to launch, Fengzeyuan will soon lose its previous status.

"Brother, this matter is related to my work. I can no longer hold the position of head chef, but don't worry, Fengzeyuan will always be my home. My master, my brothers and sisters are still here. Here, if one day I finish my work, as long as Fengze Garden welcomes me, I will still come back."

Qin Ming had already said it all, and Li Jianguo couldn't say anything more, so he could only agree to Qin Ming in the end. "I will apply for the report right now. Although it is unlikely, I personally hope to see you in Fengze Garden."

"Don't worry, I'll come over and have a drink with you if I get the chance."

After Li Jianguo went through the process, Qin Ming went to the kitchen and told Lin Guodong and others about his resignation. Everyone was shocked.

"Junior brother, please don't be impulsive. Our monthly salary at Fengzeyuan is still quite high. Although you are in college, you still need to eat. In my opinion, it is not appropriate for you to quit your job now."

Zhou Yi's words represented everyone's aspirations. Even Lin Guodong nodded aside and asked Qin Ming to think about it carefully.

"It's okay, Master. I'm also working on a project now. The reason why I quit is because it's not appropriate..."

After explaining to everyone, everyone finally understood Qin Ming. However, Lin Guodong and the others insisted on setting up a practice banquet for Qin Ming. Qin Ming did not refuse and stayed to help cook.

When he came out of Fengze Garden, it was already getting late. After Qin Ming drank, he gave up the idea of ​​finding Mr. Sun to pick up the car, and instead went directly to their commune.

He did not take the main road. After leaving the city, he stepped on the path into the mountains and forests. When he reached a place where there was no one around, he started running.

Martial arts practitioners prefer this feeling of running at full strength, which is why teachers in martial arts schools look down on driving and cycling, always feeling that it is a hindrance to the body.

According to Qin Ming's current strength, if he runs with all his strength, the journey of more than ten kilometers will only take about twenty minutes.

Seeing his own commune, Qin Ming came out of the mountain, carrying pork, rabbits, chickens and ducks in one hand, and a bag of 100 kilograms of flour in the other hand.

"Qin Ming is back."

"Oh, this brings good things to the family again!"

Some of the members who were working in the fields saw Qin Ming and greeted him one after another. At the same time, the news of Qin Ming's return also spread from their mouths. Not long after, Qin Fanglan, who was helping Zhang Yinghong and others pull weeds in the fields, News arrived.

"My Yaoyao is back? Is it true?"

"How can this be false? Your Yaoyao is very capable. He is carrying chickens, ducks, rabbits, pork, and even a big bag of flour. Looking at his posture, it weighs at least a hundred kilograms."

Flour bags these days are also very particular. The largest one can only hold a hundred kilograms, but people rarely buy a whole bag directly. After all, neither food stamps nor money are allowed.

So Qin Ming's big bag of flour suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention.

"What is this kid doing with these? No, I have to go home and take a look!" Qin Fanglan stopped working and immediately turned around and walked home.

Her job is to feed pigs, and other farm work will naturally not be arranged for her, so Qin Fanglan can leave directly, but Zhang Yinghong and Wang Limei cannot. They need to pull out all the grass in the fields they have been assigned. .

Lao Qintou, who was working as a custodian, also got the news, but he didn't go home. It was getting late now, and it wouldn't take long for the members to return the farm tools and start work. He might as well wait until the work was done. It’s not too late to go back.

When Qin Ming returned to the house, there was no one there. He carried the things into the kitchen, then took a piece of pork and a small bag of flour to find Li Langzhong.

As the barefoot doctor of several nearby communes, Li Langzhong does not need to go to the fields. The several communes have discussed that Li Langzhong can go into the mountains to collect medicine, as long as he can ensure that the members of the surrounding communes have a place to see a doctor when they have a headache or fever. Then he took out centimeters and wrote them down for him.

When Qin Ming came to Li Langzhong's house, Li Langzhong was drying herbs in the yard. These were all picked by him from the mountains and needed to be dried and processed before being stored in categories.

A scent of medicine filled the entire courtyard.

"Master, I'm here to see you."

Li Langzhong raised his head when he heard the voice and smiled immediately when he saw Qin Ming, "Xiao Ming is here. Is school on holiday?"

"Not yet. There is an exam next week. I haven't been back for too long, so I want to come back and see everyone." Qin Ming pushed open the wooden fence door and walked in. At this time, Li Langzhong saw what Qin Ming was carrying, and his expression suddenly dropped, "What are you doing? Take these things back quickly."

"How can a disciple come to see his master empty-handed? Besides, I am your disciple, so I should respect you. And don't worry, I still have some at home."

Li Langzhong often went to the mountains and could taste game from the mountains from time to time. However, he ate very little pork, so Qin Ming directly brought several kilograms of pork over.

"This is too much." Li Langzhong was naturally happy because his apprentice was filial, but when he saw the piece of pork weighing at least five or six kilograms, Li Langzhong frowned.

In this summer, so much meat cannot be stored at all. It will smell bad if left for a few days.

"Not much. You and the mistress should eat more to replenish your body. The children are also growing and need to supplement their nutrition..." As Qin Ming spoke, he went to the Li family kitchen and took a basin to cook the meat. Put it in and put it into the well.

The well water is cold, so if you store it this way, you can eat this piece of meat for two or three days.

"You kid, I really don't know what to say about you..." Li Langzhong didn't know what to say. At the beginning, he was the one who took care of Qin Ming, but later it was Qin Ming who took care of him.

"I was looking through ancient medical books a few days ago and suddenly discovered something. Let's go in and take a look."

Li Langzhong and Qin Ming didn't get along for a day or two, and they were all familiar with each other's tempers. They knew that no matter what they said, Qin Ming would go in one ear and out the other. Sure enough, after complaining a few times, he found that Qin Ming was always laughing. Hehehe listened, knowing that the other party would do this again next time, Li Langzhong stopped wasting words and chose to directly take Qin Ming to read the medical book.

He encountered a lot of difficult diseases during this period, and he could have a good discussion with Qin Ming.

And because it hasn’t rained since the beginning of spring, many herbs in the mountains are not growing very well. Qin Ming is a college student and has learned a lot in school, so you can ask him.

"clang clang"

In the evening, the sound of finishing work came from the loudspeaker of the third branch of Hongxing Commune.

Everyone went to the storage room to return the borrowed farm tools, and then they did not forget to joke with old Qintou about the grain that his son had brought back. On Li Langzhong's side, Qin Ming, who heard the closing bell, also said goodbye and left Li Langzhong. Home.

There is another big thing to do tonight. They will be merged into the city soon, so Qin Ming actually has plans to give his second sister Qin Erni the job quota.

But fitter is a manual job after all, so this matter needs to be discussed with Qin Erni.

"My little brother is back?"

"Er Ni, hurry up, my little brother is back."

Qin Ming heard Zhang Tieniu's voice from a distance. Qin Ming frowned. When he called the commune, he stated that he wanted his second sister to go home.

Why did this Tieniu come here with the second sister instead of staying at home to earn cents?
