Era: Start as a buyer

Chapter 226 Handling Materials
"As you wish, as I wish, great."

"Remember to follow me to the folk houses in the old street tomorrow. There are so many shops here. Once I go far away, I can't deal with things. You don't care. I plan to make it more formal this time, replenishing goods and delivering goods. Find someone to take charge of. That way, I can start other money-making businesses."

"Big, big~~. I see, I'm just taking people to buy computers and things. Don't worry, I'll take care of you. Now that you're old, I'll see how you can hide."

"Can't you be more serious and talk to me?"

"It's not like I didn't hear you. I'm busy with business. You don't like children. Hurry up, can you do it?"

Naturally, a man cannot say that he is incompetent, even if Luo Chengming knows that Liu Xiaofei is provoking him. This Liu Xiaofei really plans to give birth to a child for him. According to her idea, she will give birth to a son as early as possible when she is young. When her son grows up, she will be in her thirties at most. As long as she takes good care of herself, she can call her sister and sister when she goes out. , giving birth to a daughter is a sister.

On the one hand, the main idea is to have children and have offspring. On the other hand, children are not only used to raise, but also to play with and show off. Of course, the premise is that the child must look good when he is young. Liu Xiaofei felt that her appearance and Luo Cheng's appearance should not lead to ugly children.

Although Liu Xiaofei is young, her idea is to be a housewife, and of course, a rich housewife. Not the kind who worry about daily necessities of life, such as women, not housewives.

Luo Cheng told Liu Xiaofei through his actions that if he angered him, he was seeking death. Liu Xiaofei also told him through actions that if you have the ability, only one or two of your tens of millions of brothers will be able to occupy her base.

It's just like playing a game. It's useless just to push the tower. If you can't hit the base, you will lose in the end.

"Well, Yanzi, don't tell anyone else about this this morning."

Luo Cheng has been accustomed to being distributed according to family status and needs since he was a child. Even the amount of rice cooked by Luo Yan and the others was considered in this way.

Luo Cheng told some colleagues yesterday afternoon that he would go to other factories today to benefit the machinery factory. Today, he took Zhang Hongxiu to other factories. Although he was selling vegetables and eggs, the things in his hands were already in short supply and everyone wanted them.

In the family, Luo Cheng didn't say anything about the distribution of food portions. As is the case in many families, food is distributed according to each person's status in the family. Growing up, although Luo Cheng didn't eat as much as his brother Luo Qiang, he definitely ate more than Luo Yan.

Zhang Hongxiu said that although making noodles was a little more troublesome, she had been eating either vegetable porridge or porridge with dried radish for several days, so she still wanted to change the taste and make breakfast for everyone. Of course, only Luo Cheng's family can afford to have breakfast and still have some choice. Others eat some batter in the morning and go to work while their children go to school.

~~~
"Second brother, second brother~~."

"Choose what my brother likes to eat. If you want to eat something else, you don't have a choice."

"Ah~~, my second brother said he would take me to the garment factory today. I thought I got up and was calling my second brother to go out. It turns out that I was dreaming and didn't get up."

When Luo Cheng offered these things, the factory really owed him a favor, so if he could afford it, he would really get something for the machinery factory.

There was still a small amount of noodles and noodle soup in the pot, but Luo Cheng didn't pick it up after eating the noodles. Luo Yan and Zhao Qian can definitely take care of the rest.

Since we have to make noodles, one makes a fire to boil water and the other rolls out the noodles, which is actually very fast. However, the noodles they make are relatively simple, the time is short, the noodles are not fermented, and the noodles are not stretched or thin. But it doesn’t matter, it’s actually chewy if it’s thicker. Many people like this kind of noodles, just like eating gnocchi, they can still be chewed in the mouth for a while.

The lights in the room are bright, but there is nothing that needs to be harmonious. They are all blocked by a quilt. The quilt keeps changing various shapes on the bed, but it always returns to peace.

"Then let's make the noodles. I'll get up and roll them out, and I'll feed them to my second brother. I just cooked the porridge yesterday."

"Don't worry, I won't tell you, but if you really get up, do you want to eat porridge or noodles?"

After Luo Cheng and his wife washed up, they went to the kitchen and the noodles were already on the table. Both are large bowls, so Luo Cheng's bowl has more noodles, Zhao Qian's only has half noodles and half soup, and both Luo Yan and Zhang Hongxiu have more soup and less noodles. As for the monkey Congcong, if Luo Cheng is in a good mood, he will give it one or two to eat.

For people who don't work at home, it's normal not to eat in the morning in order to save some food.

When the noodles were almost ready, Luo Yan went to ask Luo Cheng and Zhao Qian to get up. After they freshened up, they could eat directly.

"I can still choose what to eat."

Yanzi and Hongxiu get up early, and they are willing to get up early, but this willingness is different from wanting to get up early. Because they know who they rely on to live a good life now. If they could live a carefree life, they would also want to sleep in.

"Hongxiu, wake up, what's wrong with you? Why are you calling me second brother in your dream?"

"Haha, it's really interesting. Isn't this just like dreaming about peeing at night? I thought I was peeing in the toilet, but actually I was peeing in bed."

After breakfast, Luo Cheng was not in a hurry to go out. He was going to his factory, and he had to get there after at least eight o'clock. If he went too early, he might not have gone to work yet.

Luo Cheng moved a stool and sat on the corridor beside his door. The wind in this spring morning was still very comfortable, and most of the people who went to work in the yard greeted Luo Cheng politely. By the way, I want to pay attention to his wife. Depending on the day, this may happen with a high probability this month.

When I hear people say nice things, many congratulate him on becoming a father soon. Luo Cheng also knew that good things were coming soon. When he was happy, he released his promise before he became a father. If he became a father, he would definitely set up two tables in the yard for everyone to have fun.

When Luo Cheng said this, everyone was also happy. It had been a long time since they had a meal. If this was really the case, everyone would be able to improve their food.

If Luo Chengzhen becomes a father, if he holds a banquet and everyone comes to eat, he will definitely not be empty-handed, at least he must give a gift. For this gift, if they are just neighbors like them, just fifty cents will be fine.

If it were in the past, everyone might have a headache and have to be polite when eating. But Luo Cheng had to hold a banquet, and it was a year when food was in short supply. Everyone is eager for it. Now you can't buy two pounds of rice for fifty cents on the black market, and Luo Cheng is the section chief. If he holds a banquet, it won't be too shabby. Everyone is 100% able to eat, and now everyone has not eaten meat for a long time. Others can't get meat, but Luo Cheng certainly can't.

So as soon as Luo Cheng said he was going to be a father, he would host a banquet, and many people really thought about it.

Around 7:30, most of the people in the yard who were going to work had left. Luo Cheng tidied himself up again before calling Zhang Hongxiu to go out and leave the yard.

After exiting the alley, Luo Cheng called her to get in the car. Zhang Hongxiu, who was sitting in the back seat, was the closest to Luo Cheng at this moment. Even in the urban area, there were some uneven roads, and they would be shaken slightly from time to time. Hongxiu was clearly thinking about what would happen if she 'accidentally' touched Luo Cheng's back if there was a shake. But she hated herself for being timid. Every time she was shaken, she held the back seat firmly with both hands, and was afraid of having close contact with Luo Cheng.

Soon Luo Cheng and Zhang Hongxiu arrived at the garment factory, and the guards here already knew Luo Cheng. In other words, the guards in many places knew Luo Cheng, so they didn't need to check his ID. They just asked who they were looking for and informed him, and then asked Luo Cheng to wait in the reception room.

Entering the reception room, Luo Cheng looked for a glass of water and drank it. There was no tea in the reception room, but there was hot water. The water cups were all glass. Luo Cheng asked Zhang Hongxiu to sit peacefully. There was water and newspapers here, so just wait. Zhang Hongxiu is indeed a little nervous. After all, she is young and has little experience. Now she feels a little relieved just following Luo Cheng.

"Director Chen, Chief Luo from the machinery factory is here, bringing a female comrade with him and placing her in the reception room."

"-Chief Luo? From the machinery factory, okay, I understand."

When someone from the security department came to inform him, Director Chen didn't think about it at first. When he met Luo Cheng, Luo Cheng was still a team leader. At the garment factory, he established a small cooperative relationship, but the main person who handled the handover with their garment factory was actually Liu Liang from the purchasing department. .

By cooperating with them, you can get more work clothes, and the quantity is limited. The tacit deal in private was to send some shirt tickets and the like to the machine factory. This is because the machinery factory can actually get chickens, ducks and eggs.

But since the beginning of this year, there has been less private cooperation. Everything is in short supply, which means that Liu Liang from the machinery factory comes once or twice a month and keeps in touch, but there are fewer things to exchange with each other.

A few chickens are sold there for them to entertain, and they also give some menstrual stamps, rags and the like every month. Overall, the cooperative relationship is good. But Director Li knew that many of these supplies were actually obtained by Luo Cheng from the machinery factory, and Liu Liang was just an ordinary buyer.

The garment factory is about the same size as a machinery factory, but there are not as many employees as there are in the machinery factory. Their factory mainly makes finished clothes. If there weren't a lot of orders for work clothes, and the clothes they made were sold in supply and marketing cooperatives or some places, they wouldn't actually sell much.

Nowadays, most people still buy their own fabrics to make clothes, and few buy clothes. We also make Chinese tunic suits, which we basically buy. But there are not many people in the urban area who can wear Chinese tunic suits. Therefore, garment factories mainly produce work clothes and the like, and only a few hundred employees per urban area are enough.

Director Chen got up and originally wanted to go directly there, but he thought that Chief Luo from the machinery factory had a lot of skills in getting supplies, so he had to treat him more seriously. He was in charge of the logistics department, so he asked someone to get some peanuts and entertained them first, and then he followed.

Don't look at just taking some peanuts to entertain, it's already pretty good these days. Just these peanuts are usually used to entertain leaders. For those who are lower than Director Li, just pour a glass of boiling water.

Therefore, the people on Luo Cheng's side did not wait, but instead waited for a plate of shelled peanuts.

"Hongxiu, hurry up, put some in your pocket and take some back to Yanzi. This peanut Congcong also likes to eat, so I can give it one or two."

"This~~, um."

After hearing Luo Cheng's instructions, Zhang Hongxiu didn't expect such an operation, but these were peanuts, which were very delicious. Since Luo Cheng said this, she quickly grabbed a lot of them with her hands and put them in her pants pockets.

In fact, this is also a routine. If Luo Cheng hadn't brought Hongxiu here, he wouldn't have looked down on this peanut at all. But when other people come, the garment factory does this, which is obviously to give you the opportunity to put peanuts in your pocket.

Sure enough, after Hongxiu installed the peanuts, Director Chen, the logistics director here, appeared not long after.

Director Chen is over forty years old and he also knows how to judge people. The lesbian who came with Luo Cheng was obviously very reserved, just a raw melon and egg, but with a notebook and a pen in her hand, she was obviously an assistant-type comrade who came to record things.

Looking at Luo Cheng, I have talked to him a few times before, but I have hardly seen him this year. Liu Liang, the buyer of the machinery factory, is always visiting their factory to get some small things.

The Luo Cheng we met back then was not as calm as he is now. It's just that the other party has enough confidence, and when talking to him about some conditions, he is neither humble nor overbearing. But now, Director Chen feels that the other party has matured a bit quickly. Every move he makes is no longer as childish as before, and his sitting posture and behavior are also different from before.

"Chief Luo, it's rare for someone to come here. I came here this time to take care of our garment factory if there is anything I can do."

"Director Chen, please don't praise me like this. What a big deal I am. It's almost May. I'm here to ask about summer clothing in our factory."

"That's not right, Chief Luo. Even if your machinery factory is an industrial factory, your work clothes are subject to a three-year batch quota."

"I'm talking about spare work clothes. Some technical secondary school students will soon be assigned some. Our factory still needs some technical and cultural talents. I want to get some work clothes in advance for spare use. Director Chen, do you think it's okay? "

"Haha, you, Chief Luo, are here in person. You just want some spare work clothes. What's wrong? You asked someone to get a specification sheet. I'll arrange for someone to get some work clothes and put the label of your factory on it. But you shouldn't Come to our factory in person for such a small matter."

"There is something else. I just don't know if you are interested, Director Chen."

"Chief Luo, tell me."

"Eggs, tomatoes and eggplants that can't be certified. The price is pretty good. By the way, although there are few female employees in our factory, they all have family members. Can you give some of your menstrual stamps to our factory?"

"What kind of proof do you need, Chief Luo? I'll arrange for someone to get some tickets later. As for work clothes, tell me the specifications and I'll arrange for someone to get them for you right away."

"As for work clothes, I will arrange for someone from our department to bring a list. By the way, here are the rags. These are good for making socks and crotchless pants for those with children at home."

I heard Luo Cheng talking about rags. This is an internal benefit for garment factory employees and is generally not sold to the outside world. But even for internal benefits, employees still have to spend money to buy them, but they don’t require tickets. This is just like the defective cloth in the textile factory, which is processed internally and costs the employees money.

These rags are the leftovers cut from making clothes, some are big or small, the small ones may only be used for patching clothes, while the big ones are just like Luo Cheng said, used to make socks, cloth shoe mats, and many other things.

If in the past, just a few eggs, tomatoes, and eggplants were all for the rags from their factory, that would be too much to think about. Their factory’s private resources used to be exchanged with poultry and meat factories as benefits.

It’s just that poultry and meat are in short supply now. In addition to the regular reception space, it is difficult for employees to eat meat. The same goes for eggs.

Luo Cheng asked Zhang Hongxiu to take a pen and record it. This requires work clothes, and he just came to show his face. Menstrual stamps are also for the factory. When the rags arrive, it depends on the size. If there are more, all employees will benefit from them; if they are less, it will be a private benefit.

Luo Cheng started to bargain with Director Chen here and added more, mainly on how many eggs he could give. Director Chen also wanted the other two vegetables, but they were definitely not as important as the eggs.

Director Chen has more to consider. Luo Cheng actually doesn't need these personally. If he needs cloth, he can just get some secretly. It was more of a deliberate effort to create a form of resource exchange. Otherwise, people might think it was strange if Luo Cheng took some scarce supplies and sold them to the garment factory without any requirements.

Not only in the garment factory, but also in other factories later on, the goods were sold as rare goods. After selling them to others, they also had to get some welfare items for the machinery factory.

In the final bargaining, Director Chen agreed to give Luo Cheng three large bags of rags, purchased according to weight. Luo Cheng was given two baskets of eggs, also about a hundred pounds, four baskets of tomatoes, and a sack of eggplants. This is another welfare exchange.
