Chapter 306
It is fun to tease a one-and-a-half-month-old child.
Luo Cheng returned to Changcheng and spent two days with his wife and child.
Then he began to contact the transport station. After promising certain benefits, they reluctantly agreed to dispatch a truck to cooperate with Luo Cheng's material transportation. The main reason is that the transportation capacity is low these days, let alone arranging a truck to cooperate with you. Even if you want to deliver a trip, you have to contact in advance and treat the driver well.
It is really a great honor for him to get a truck to follow Luo Cheng's arrangements. Of course, the main reason is that Luo Cheng gave a lot of materials, although you have to spend money to buy them. But it is very good to be able to buy materials with money these days. If you don't spend money, the transport station will not dare to take it.
After returning to Changcheng for a two-day rest, Luo Cheng also started to make moves. The warehouse got a batch of chickens and told the Changcheng Poultry Factory that they were new varieties from Jiangcheng. Just the fact that they are larger in size, just like in Jiangcheng, the director of the poultry factory in Changcheng happily accepted the exchange.
They even gave Luo Cheng two old hens and some eggs as a thank you. Luo Cheng is a local and also works locally. Even if the chickens they got haven't started laying yet, the poultry factory thinks Luo Cheng won't cheat them. Naturally, they think Luo Cheng is helping to take care of their poultry factory, and it's reasonable to give some eggs and chickens as a thank you.
After exchanging chickens in Changcheng, Luo Cheng called Er Gouzi and others in the town to the warehouse. He started to shuffle all kinds of materials, but even if Luo Cheng was good at it, for a city with a population of hundreds of thousands, it wouldn't make any waves.
Luo Cheng's self-righteous idea of quantitative balance made him find it unrealistic. In his previous opinion, as long as he shuffled enough materials to his own time, it would benefit the people below.
For example, if a town has 10,000 people, Luo Cheng only needs to shuffle more than 10,000 people's materials, then the materials in this area will be abundant.
But Luo Cheng was born a hunter after all, and his considerations were very one-sided. A town may not have a large population, but the people in an urban area consume hundreds of tons of food every day.
The materials that Luo Cheng dealt in could only benefit some units and people he came into contact with, and they really couldn't stir up any waves for the entire historical situation.
As the weather gradually got hotter, more and more people fled from famine. Many cities were lucky to be able to guarantee water for daily life, and in the face of drought, they could only stare blankly.
Luo Cheng found that he might really be a good person. Facing many refugees, he really couldn't just stand by and watch them die. He didn't help those people before, not because he was cold-hearted, but because he couldn't save them, and it was not easy to give large amounts of charity in these years.
In fact, Luo Cheng's efforts over the past year have not been ineffective. At least there are many kind people among the employees of some units who benefited from him. Especially some older people who experienced the famine in the 1940s. I know how difficult it is for these people to escape here.
It can be said that kind-hearted people in this year are really kind. Many people who don't have much food at home will help those who come to their door to beg, even if it's just a mouthful of thin food. Many factories have welfare for the materials that Luo Cheng got. When these welfare are distributed to workers, some people will use them to help others.
One person, one wooden barrel, a big spoon, a bucket of coarse grain porridge, or rice porridge that can't stand chopsticks.
In the Changcheng warehouse, Luo Cheng's sister and sister-in-law cook porridge and rice porridge every day. Others, in addition to helping transport goods, go to the streets to help those who have fled from famine.
Luo Cheng's doing this is very risky. If an individual produces so much food, in this era of rationed food, if he is reported, he can't explain it clearly.
And this kind of porridge distribution is not just one or two people. To be honest, it is impossible to keep it secret. But this is a good thing. If someone sees it, they will mutter in their hearts, is it organized by a local unit, or arranged by a large factory. As for individuals, even if they are well-off leaders, it is possible to do it occasionally, but if they do it frequently, even if the subsidy is high, it is impossible to have so much food.
Ordinary people usually just think about it and don't make trouble. But some departments have also discovered such a situation, but it has been suppressed by some people temporarily. Because if they investigate and find no problem, it is unnecessary. The investigation found that there was a problem. In the current situation, even if there is a problem, as long as everyone has a conscience, they don't want to investigate.
And the close people who helped Luo Cheng to give these food, Er Gouzi and his wife, Luo Cheng's sister and brother-in-law, brother and sister-in-law, and Chen Laizi's wife's relatives, Luo Cheng's father. Now they all know that there is something wrong with what they did. Before, Luo Cheng could find an excuse to say that he was helping this or that unit when he bought things and helped to deal with things.
But if this porridge was given to countless refugees, it could be done in a big way if it was really organized by a unit or factory. They always thought that Luo Cheng would definitely make some money as the head of the purchasing department of the machinery factory. But when the food was given out, many people didn't know what to say.
Although they didn't know where Luo Cheng got the food, they basically persuaded him not to do it, although everyone knew that those refugees were very pitiful. Luo Cheng could save a lot of people by doing this, but ordinary people must know how to protect themselves.
Luo Cheng actually hesitated. After all, he had a family, and if something really happened to him, he would have to consider his children.
But just when Luo Cheng was hesitant, Director Sun in the factory found out about him giving porridge in the warehouse. Then I had a talk with Luo Cheng alone. Director Sun also admired Luo Cheng's actions, but he also knew that the things Luo Cheng obtained must have come from "incorrect ways."
Director Sun gave Luo Cheng a choice, or let Luo Cheng stop immediately, if he really didn't. If Luo Cheng wants to continue to rescue those fleeing from famine, he can give alms in the name of the machinery factory.
At least doing this in the name of a machinery factory can dispel many people's suspicions. But after all, there is no real food expenditure in the factory. If it is investigated, Luo Cheng will still have to bear it.
And if possible, Director Sun can go and tell the factory director that material support cannot be provided, but money can be provided, and he can even call other factories to support him. But basically it is difficult to provide materials, so you can only provide some money.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Luo Cheng decided to continue giving alms. In terms of food, drink and money, he really has nothing to pursue. The hard work I have done this year has always been about benefiting the people around me. If he really wants to only care about himself, he doesn't have to do anything. He can just bring his own food and drink from the future era.
If you want wealth, you actually don’t have to do anything at all, such as based on information from the future era. When these two years have passed, collect some good wine and save some stamps. Even in ten or twenty years, go to Sijiucheng and buy a courtyard house.
Even if you are a little bolder, in the year before the era of educated youth going to the countryside, many people fled to Xiangjiang and other places abroad. Many things are processed cheaply, and Luo Cheng's collection of just a few will be enough for him to become a rich man in the future.
Until the end, Luo Cheng never thought that he would be a good person. In the past, there were a lot of fights in the town. The uncle could eat whatever he wanted in the vegetable field, but it was just the Huohuo family.
In the past, I also thought about doing some bad things and getting a woman to sleep with through informal means. If you can't live any longer, why don't you do something illegal?
There was an unexpected encounter, and the brother went to throw shit at the person who offended him and ruined his job. He even likes to eat good food in front of others and watch them get greedy. And when it comes to women, there is no control.
But in the end, because of some unrelated people, they still chose to continue the rescue. If people in the future know what he did, they might say "Mr. Da Yi".
With Director Sun's support and the participation of other units, Ergouzi and the others began to work with great fanfare.
In addition, the matter between Er Gouzi and Qin Ru was also discussed with Luo Cheng in private.
Luo Cheng could only say that Ergouzi, you are a real dog. After so many years of seriousness, this Ergouzi would actually fall for a woman. He has a wife in his hometown, so if he wants to play, he can find a sweetheart in the city. It's not impossible to find a widow, but don't find one with two children. Now that she is pregnant through surgery, it will not be a matter of raising one more baby in the future. She may have to raise the other two children at the same time.
But Er Gouzi's daughter-in-law's stomach has not moved yet. People these days are very interested in whether they have offspring. Asking Qin Ru to abort the child, Luo Cheng couldn't say anything. Ergouzi didn't have children, what if his cousin's wife really couldn't have children.
So what his brother did was really good. Not only did he help Ergouzi raise a wife, but he also had to help him raise a lover and even a child. But between brothers, if you have the ability, you really don’t have to worry about this. If Luo Cheng had something to do with someone, Ergouzi would be the one to do it. Ergouzi likes to put on sacks, either because he's not a good fighter or because he just likes to do it.
As soon as things here were settled, Luo Cheng also applied for a marriage certificate in the factory. After getting the certificate with Zhao Qian, he started to go to Jiangcheng.
But when heading to Jiangcheng, I first stopped by Macheng, met Zheng Ke's sister, and asked her how to do the handiwork. And when he left, he gave her a sum of money and asked her to do things for him.
After arriving in Jiangcheng, I made a realistic fake certificate in the future era without the Internet. I actually got another marriage certificate with Zheng Ke in Jiangcheng.
On this day, Luo Cheng really began to live happily and normally again. Because a person's energy is limited, Luo Cheng can only occasionally travel to other cities to exchange supplies for some cans. Then he bought several regional brand can labels at the cannery in Future Era.
In addition, the rice dumping was going on smoothly during the spring harvest. Luo Cheng not only exchanged old rice with some coarse grains for new rice at the machinery factory, but also at the magazine and newspaper offices in Jiangcheng. In Macheng, Luo Cheng's sister-in-law Zheng Xin also organized people to help Luo Cheng exchange rice.
In the future era, Luo Cheng will no longer do whatever he thinks of. In many industries, it is not difficult for him to make money as long as he is willing to make some changes and take advantage of the cheap labor force of his time. But it involves too many industries, and even if Luo Cheng hires someone to help manage it, he doesn't have that much energy to do it.
After the eels and soft-shelled turtles were completely sold out, there was no need to worry about them anymore. Some stores have been converted to sell local chickens and eggs, and the number of local chicken restaurant chain stores has also been steadily increasing.
As for large canteens, they have also gained a good reputation in Jiangcheng. There are large canteens with various names such as the large canteen of textile factories, the large canteen of agricultural machinery factories, the large canteen of machine repair factories, etc. Anyway, the purpose of the canteen is to provide service first and profit secondarily. But if you sincerely serve everyone and consider everyone, you will also gain everyone's support.
In the Jiangcheng area, some people started to really say that this supermarket is owned by someone from the east, and there is a "Jiangcheng" big canteen for meals. Many families who don't want to prepare meals simply use the cafeteria as a place to eat three meals a day. Affordable and healthy.
Because the canteen and the chicken restaurant both need to purchase some other vegetables, Luo Cheng also began to form his own transportation team and directly purchase vegetables from the first-hand vegetable vendors. The purchase price is directly much cheaper. If the volume is larger in the future, he can directly cooperate with vegetable farmers to further reduce costs.
He even contracted land for large-scale planting, but that would require Luo Cheng to have so many chain stores that he would leave Jiangcheng.
Liu Xiaofei originally planned to go the route of Internet celebrity with her pure and lustful image and some capital of her own. But she has been led astray by readers and authors in the online literature industry. At the beginning, she only filmed the golden opening plot and accumulated a lot of fans, but the cost of filming was not small. Even if there were some rewards and platform on-demand dividends for live broadcasting, the team was expanding and the income could not keep up with the investment.
Later, she planned to join the short drama market, which is now in the limelight. Web dramas were popular before, and the shooting of web dramas was no different from that of TV dramas. But short dramas have smaller investments, a few minutes per episode, and the main feature is a cool plot or a dog-blooded plot. Don't look at a short drama that has eighty or ninety episodes, or even hundreds of episodes, but the overall time may be only a few hundred minutes. If you invest, you can actually make a short play at a very low cost, and short plays are a new market, and in the vents, it is really low investment and high return.
Luo Cheng and Liu Xiaofei also held a wedding banquet in October and bought a nice house in Liu Xiaofei's hometown. But because of age issues, the two cannot get a marriage certificate for the time being.
In a blink of an eye, two years have passed. In Luo Cheng's era, the rationed grain that had previously caused the city's population to decrease has also begun to recover. The porridge charity in the name of multiple factories has also begun to end.
But after distributing porridge for about two consecutive years, even if many factories are united, many people above actually noticed that something was wrong. Because there was no food donation or anything like that, if you really can help people by giving money, local units would have taken action long ago.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, this matter was led by the director and director of the machinery factory. It can only be said that in the eyes of those who are interested, this matter is a bit wrong. But it is a good thing. Some people want to check it out, but they are still stopped by some leaders who are willing to serve the people.
(I didn’t mean to write about Liu Er. There is another chapter later that is a transition. Since everyone has read this far, just treat it as two more chapters of nonsense. Please read it carefully.)
