Volume 1 Chapter 0052 Vulnerable Groups
"Nansheng, are you home?"
Nan Yi was fiddling with the flowers and plants he had just taken care of in the yard when someone called out from outside the gate.
"The door is not closed, just push it in."
With a creak, the door was pushed open and Han Guoren walked in, followed by Xian Weimin.
"The cigarettes are on the stone table, take them yourself."
"Nan Yi, when did you make this stone table? It wasn't there when I came last time."
"Just made it."
Xian Weimin touched the surface of the stone table and asked, "Did you grind the surface of the table by hand?"
"Otherwise, the brigade doesn't have any grinding tools."
"You really put in the effort."
"Come on, let's not talk about this. Kreia, just tell me what's the matter." Nan Yi waved his hand, telling Xian Weimin not to speak for the time being.
"Nansheng, this is what happened. Bell-bottom pants are very popular outside now. The factory also made a batch, but the supply and marketing cooperative won't buy them at all."
Xian Weimin said, "Let me talk about this, Nan Yi. The people at the supply and marketing cooperative say that bell-bottom pants are immoral, and they are unwilling to buy them. I mean, why don't we sell them wholesale ourselves? Bell-bottom pants are really easy to sell now."
"Sure, but you need to do some preparation first. Find a newspaper and publish an article in it.
The general meaning is this:
Wenchangwei Production Brigade responded to the country's call to vigorously develop agricultural and sideline industries and established a collectively owned garment factory. After more than a year of development, the members' incomes have increased and their lives have improved.
Recently, we learned that millions of educated youth have returned to cities, resulting in millions of unemployed young people, and the country has great difficulties in placing them.
In order to reduce the burden on the country, Wenchangwei Production Brigade is now recruiting a large number of temporary supply and marketing personnel from the society. Their job function is to sell the bell-bottom pants that are in stock in the garment factories to department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives across the country.
The treatment is favorable and the educated youth returning to the city are given priority.
It should be noted that the recruitment is for temporary workers, and the words "bell-bottom pants" must be clearly stated.
By writing this way, we can let people with active minds know that we have bell-bottom pants in Wenchangwei, a lot of bell-bottom pants. When someone comes to ask, our people will explain to them that this job is very free.
Depending on their ability, temporary workers can take away any number of bell-bottoms as long as they pay a certain deposit.
After the bell-bottom pants are sold, they can come back to our staff to collect them again, settle the wages and commissions for the previous batch, and report to which city's supply and marketing cooperatives or department stores the previous batch of bell-bottom pants was sold to.
By the way, there have to be two people to pay the salary commission and register the sales area. The person in charge of registration should be someone who is old, hard of hearing, and illiterate in the team. "
"I understand what you mean, Nan Yi. We should treat those who come to wholesale as temporary workers in the garment factory. The deposit is actually the wholesale payment. We can find an illiterate person to register and ask the temporary workers to register themselves.
In this way, we only hired a group of temporary workers to help us sell clothes to the supply and marketing cooperatives, and they did not really sell the clothes to the supply and marketing cooperatives. Since we were farmers and uneducated, we respected educated people and did not think they would cheat.
If something goes wrong in the future, the registrant will be blamed, dismissed from his post, allowed to go home and continue to enjoy his retirement, leaving Wenchangwei behind completely. "
"That's pretty much what I meant. We wanted to portray the Wenchangwei Garment Factory as a bunch of peasants fooling around here, making a little money by sheer luck, but actually not knowing how to run a business.
In this way, we can put ourselves in the role of the vulnerable group and the victim.
By the way, you guys go back and tell someone that if there is a scammer coming to cheat you, don’t expose him, let him succeed, then wait a few days and then find out you’ve been cheated, then go to the police station and report the case.
Find a reporter to report the scam and spread the image of us as fools. The more people know about it, the better. "
"Play pig eat tiger?"
"It's not that weird. Sometimes the dumber you are, the more willing people are to do business with you. In short, no matter whether we are at a disadvantage or at an advantage, people should be able to see at first glance that we are at a disadvantage."
Xian Weimin shook his head, "I don't know."
"Then go back and think about it slowly. You may not understand it now, but you will understand it in the future. Okay, you two go back and get started. The bell-bottom pants can probably be eaten for several years, so make sure you do it well."
"Okay, let's go."
"Goodbye, Nansheng."
"Weimin, come to my place for dinner tomorrow night. I have something to tell you."
“I know.”
After Xian Weimin and the other man left, Nan Yi continued to take care of his flowers and plants. The yard looked too monotonous, and he wanted to make it more lively.
According to Nan Yi's idea, he would plant two pieces of flowers and plants, expand the pond, build a rockery inside, plant a few water lilies, raise a few red carps in the pond, raise a few turtles, and put a black fish or catfish in it.
Find a stonemason and a carpenter to build a gazebo in the yard.
Next year, we will expand the backyard and build a basketball court, a tennis court, and a swimming pool.
There is also a hilly land to the east of the house, where a stream is diverted and various kinds of peach blossoms are planted.
Peach forest, streams, horses, a woman in pink playing in the water, peach blossoms falling, what a beautiful scene this would be.
Nan Yi wanted to plant peach blossoms himself, dig streams himself, and find women himself. Nan Yi planned to spend ten years to make this place his own paradise.
Bending over, Nan Yi poured nutrient soil into the already arranged flower bed, when suddenly, he felt a weight on his back.
"woke up?"
"Well, Dad, I slept for three hours today."
"Little lazy pig, you eat more and more, and sleep longer and longer." Nan Yi turned his head and said to Nan Ruoyin lovingly: "Why is there sweat on your forehead? Didn't you turn on the fan?"
"It's not on. It wasn't hot when I first went to bed."
"Go get the basin and wash your face."
"Um."
Nan Ruoyin let go of Nan Yi, walked into the kitchen, took out her washbasin, went to the sink, turned on the faucet, filled it with some water, rinsed the towel, and wiped it on her face.
The washbasin in the yard has two countertops, one high and one low. Nan Yi designed it this way considering Nan Ruoyin's height.
There is no running water in Wenchangwei. The faucet is connected to the river water pipe, and water is discharged by the principle of drop and siphon. The water flows slowly and not strongly.
After washing her face, Nan Ruoyin walked up to Nan Yi again and said, "Dad, what do you want for snack today?"
"The noodles are on the table in the kitchen. You can eat them first."
"Dad, I want to eat it with chili soup."
"Then wait a moment. Dad will do it for you after he finishes here. Clean the peppers first."
"Um."
Nan Ruoyin ran to the kitchen excitedly, took out five or six small green peppers, rinsed them at the sink, cut the peppers into two pieces with a kitchen knife, and scraped out the pepper seeds.
Follow the same method, clean each pepper, then put them on the chopping board and chop them into small pieces awkwardly.
"Dad, the chili is ready."
"Then go make a fire. I'll be almost well."
"oh."
Two minutes later, Nan Yi finished the work at hand, washed his hands at the sink, and walked into the kitchen with a chopping board. He put his hand into the iron pot to feel the heat, and found it was just right.
Use a kitchen knife to scrape the diced chili into the pot, stir-fry for a few seconds, and serve.
Scoop a ladle of rapeseed oil into the pot, wait for the oil temperature to rise, pour the diced chili into the pot, stir-fry, add a little water, and then add salt and MSG.
Puff puff puff, after the water boils for a while, the chili water is poured out.
"A-choo, huhu..." Nan Ruoyin sneezed, rubbed her nose with her fingers, and said, "Dad, the pepper smells so strong."
"Don't you like it?"
"Yes, I like it. Let's eat."
He threw the fire tongs into the ash pond, jumped up from the low stool, ran excitedly to the table and opened the dish cover.
On the table, there is an enamel bowl and a rice washing basket.
There is sauce in the enamel bowl and rice noodles in the rice washing basket. They are placed in sticks, and each stick is the size of a bowl.
Nan Yi put the chili water on the table, took two bowls from the drain rack of the cupboard, and took two pairs of chopsticks from the chopstick holder hanging on the left wall of the cupboard.
"Here you go, add the chili water yourself."
"Uh-huh."
Nan Ruoyin took the bowl and chopsticks, picked up a piece of water and put the noodles into the chopsticks, scooped a spoonful of sauce with a spoon, and scooped three spoonfuls of chili water, stirred the noodles, and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Mmmmm, it's delicious, Daddy, everything you cook tastes so good."
"What a sweet little mouth."
Nan Yi smiled knowingly, mixed his own rice noodles, and ate them slowly.
On a summer afternoon, having a cool bowl of noodles as a snack is a great enjoyment. Nan Yi thought to himself that he would go to the commune to buy some fried dough sticks tomorrow, and tomorrow's snack would be fried dough sticks and rice soaked in lard soup.
