At the Rolling Mill Hospital, the doctor had already treated the wound on Director Liu's leg. No bones were injured, it was just scratched by the barbs in the trap and it was slightly inflamed.
Section Chief Liu lay on the hospital bed and took a long breath, "Old Wang, I will remember the life-saving grace this time. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."
"Lao Liu, we don't need to be so polite with each other. We were lucky enough to meet Xiao Su this time, and he took us down the mountain. Otherwise, it would have been very dangerous for us. We were injured and it rained, and we still got lost in the mountain."
"Don't worry, I will take care of him in the purchasing department in the future."
"Who do you want to take care of? Let me hear it." Logistics director Li Huaide walked into the ward carrying a yellow paper bag tied with a rope.
"Hello, Director Li."
"I heard that you guys are back, and Lao Liu is still injured. I'll bring you some brown sugar and come over to see if you're seriously injured?"
"Thank you for your concern, director. It's just a little skin injury. A cut on my leg caused some inflammation if it wasn't treated in time. Once the inflammation subsides in three or two days, I can work normally."
"Okay, as long as it's not serious. I heard that you were injured, but it scared me. The supply of supplies is so tight now, what should I do if you get injured again?"
"Director Li went into the mountains this time. We went into the mountains in Dawang Village. The hunters in the village no longer ventured into the mountains to hunt because they had eaten in big canteens in the past two years. We didn't find a guide, so we had to go into the mountains by ourselves. We almost escaped. not coming."
"Is it so dangerous in the mountains? You are armed." Li Huaide felt that Liu Dashan had exaggerated the dangers in the mountains.
"There is no danger in the outer area, and there is no prey. If you want to hunt game, you can only go deep into the mountains. It is difficult to move inside. There are also many traps set by old hunters. They are all covered with dead branches and leaves and cannot be seen from the outside. I just fell into the trap. I was scratched by the barb inside. Fortunately, Captain Wang caught me in time, otherwise I would have treated you to a banquet, Director."
"It's so dangerous and you're still in the mood to joke." Li Huaide looked serious.
"Captain Wang bandaged me up, and then we found that we were lost and could only go in one direction. It started to rain around three o'clock in the afternoon, and we found a shack built by a hunter to hide from the rain. Until this morning, in Xiao Wang, who was on guard outside, arrested a young man and came back. His name was Su Wen, a hunter from the village at the foot of the mountain. I gave him ten yuan to take us down the mountain, but he didn’t agree and wanted to enter the factory. The lives of the rest of us would definitely be worse than that. A quota for entering the factory was important, so I agreed. This guy was also very reliable and brought us safely to Sujiazhuang at the foot of the mountain. This guy was also our savior, so I arranged for him to join us. Purchasing Division Three.”
"Where is he? I'll go back and have a look. I'll thank him on behalf of the factory."
"Director, you really should thank him. It was an unexpected surprise to bring him to the steel rolling mill. He brought 52.7 kilograms of bacon, which is all good meat. I accepted it all for three yuan a kilogram. He is now When we went to see the house, my brother and I violated the rules and assigned him two houses." Li Huaide was the direct supervisor of Section Chief Liu, and the matter of room allocation could not be hidden from Li Huaide. Section Chief Liu directly admitted that he had violated the rules.
"This is a reward given to him by the factory to thank him for saving you. Don't ever have the bad idea of going hunting in the mountains again."
"Director, even if you ask me to go, I won't dare to go again. It's too dangerous. But this Xiao Su is a hunter. He can go into the mountains to hunt. We just need to communicate with Sujiazhuang to preserve Xiao Su's hunting area. The reception and meals provided in the factory are somewhat guaranteed.”
"You should communicate this matter with Sujiazhuang. When will Xiao Su come to work? When he comes, ask him to come to my office."
"Okay Director."
"Take good care of yourself. I'll go report to Factory Manager Yang about the bacon and see how he arranges it."
Director Yang sat at his desk with a frown on his face. The steel rolling mill had a heavy production task, and it was almost the end of the year. If he wanted to complete this year's production task, he had to work at full capacity, but everyone's ration standard after this year's autumn harvest It has been lowered again. Now many workers have difficulty supporting their families. They don't have enough to eat and have no energy to work overtime.
When it comes to purchasing unplanned supplies, there are more wolves than meat. So many large factories in Sijiucheng have to go to the countryside to purchase. The people in the countryside eat in big canteens and are fed for half the year and hungry for half the year. There is no surplus material to sell to the steel rolling mill. The section chief of Purchasing Section 3 proposed to go hunting in the mountains, and he agreed. He just received news that Section Chief Liu was injured and returned. Thinking about it, I thought it was easy. If it was so easy to go hunting in the mountains, how could people starve to death in the countryside?
At this time, his secretary opened the door and came in, "Director Yang, Director of Logistics, wants to see you."
"Let him in."
"Director Yang, Chief Liu Dashan of Purchasing Section 3 brought back 52.7 kilograms of bacon. What do you want to do with it? Should you give it to the workers as extra meals or keep it for entertaining?"
Director Yang thought he had heard wrongly, so he stood up and said, "What did you say? Say it again."
"Liu Dashan brought back 52.7 kilograms of bacon. Let me ask you what to do with the bacon."
"52.7 kilograms of bacon? We will give the workers extra meals at noon tomorrow and use all of it to give them a good meal. Where did you get this bacon?"
"This was an accident, director of the factory. Liu Dashan and the others got lost in the mountains. Fortunately, they met a young hunter. He paid ten yuan for the hunter to take them down the mountain. They didn't agree to join the factory as workers. Liu Dashan had no choice but to I agreed, but who knew that this boy brought 52.7 kilograms of bacon, and Liu Dashan accepted it all at the price of 3 yuan per kilogram."
"Liu Dashan is very lucky. After I heard that he was injured, I didn't expect him to gain anything from this trip. I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise."
"This Xiao Su has joined the purchasing department of the steel rolling mill. He is a hunter. Liu Dashan suggested that we communicate with their village and reserve Xiao Su's hunting area so that our steel rolling mill can bring back some game from time to time."
"Okay, that's a good idea. Both Liu Dashan and Xiao Su should give some rewards and encourage them. Whether the task of the steel rolling mill can be completed this year depends on the supply of logistics materials. If we can get such a piece of bacon again, Workers are given extra meals to boost everyone's morale. Once morale is high, they will be able to complete the production tasks."
Director Yang stood up and patted Li Huaide on the shoulder, "Xiao Li, try your best. The first achievement in the factory this year will be yours. Our factory still has a vacancy for the deputy director waiting for you. You can't delay for too long." Well, who knows when someone will be sent down from above."
Director Li left Factory Director Yang's office. He was thinking about what Director Yang just said. Getting meat to feed the workers was easier said than done. But for the position of deputy director, he must complete the task no matter how difficult it is. It is also difficult for my father-in-law to help me this year. I have got a lot of supplies from my father-in-law's place this year, and my father-in-law's side is also under a lot of pressure. Last time, my father-in-law told him not to look for it again this year. He wants supplies.
The steel rolling mill is a key enterprise directly under the Ministry of Metallurgy. The supply of materials is given priority. There is no problem in keeping the workers full during lunch. The key point is that there is no oil and water. Most of the work in the steel rolling mill is heavy manual labor. People will not be able to do it without oil and water for a long time. Can't hold on. Several workers have fainted in the workshop this year. Fortunately, no casualties occurred. The factory leaders are under great pressure.
