The two-day holiday passed by in a flash. The site selection and planning of the plastic bottle factory were initially completed. The municipal department mobilized an engineering team to carry out cleanup work and laid the foundation for the first factory building. This will be a 30,000-square-meter building. A square meter of super large steel structure factory buildings account for a quarter of the investment cost.
The mayor obviously treasures this new factory more than Saint Jose, even if the new factory may bring some air pollution, of course, compared to the government that is about to go bankrupt, this is an insignificant problem.
San Jose also returned to the military camp. Nothing major happened in the past two days. The National Defense Forces in the city were transferred to other stations outside the city. The city of Cordoba became dominated by the city guards again, and the city guards were also under the control of the National Defense Forces. He received another commendation from the Ministry, and Commander Thomas Jr. was also promoted and his official position remained unchanged. This was quite surprising to Saint Jose, who originally thought he would continue to fight.
Saint Hesse also made a brief analysis. A new round of presidential elections is coming. Although the City Guards are not powerful, they represent the most important local forces outside the capital, and are related to more than 500,000 votes. , Argentina’s current voting rights account for about 15% of the entire Argentine population, with an average of 6 people having one vote. Cordoba also affects nearby San Luis, Santiago, La Rioja, and Catamarca. vote.
Even the local forces are relatively united. The National Defense Force cannot take advantage of it, and it may affect the general election in the future. When the Bilong government seeks re-election, it must also look at the face of this important province. It is best to win over them. Anyway, promotion to military rank is not promotion. From now on, Bilong, who is not the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, will have the final say.
These are just simple guesses of Saint Hesse. After all, he currently has no access to the thoughts of the men in the Ministry of Defense.
The Ministry of National Defense also specially allocated one thousand of them to the City Guard, established a new mechanized infantry brigade, and listed the City Guard as Argentina's second-level combat force, providing a large amount of military equipment. The Cordoba City Guard It is also listed as one of the important troops.
Ever since Saint Jose was promoted to the rank of warrant officer, he has been doing the same job every day as before. He is a squad leader, responsible for blowing the whistle every day to gather for roll call, and then patrolling the designated streets in the city. He also occasionally interacts with people from the police department. .
"You have the air of an urban management captain," Saint Jose smiled. In his opinion, a warrant officer has reached the top of his military career. Unless he can achieve some military exploits, there are no military exploits in peacetime. He has already reached the top.
Except for the Falklands Naval War in 1982, the others were to encircle and suppress guerrillas. Argentina did not have a place for them to survive. The military government paid great attention to the elimination of these guerrilla fighters. Moreover, Cordoba was located in the center of Argentina, and there were many of them. They are doing things in places like Colombia and Bolivia. It seems that Vaguera is still in college. Maybe he can communicate with this big boss.
There was no need to patrol in person. Occasionally, he would chat and brag with Krudic, the former coach of the fifth team, and the day would pass.
Every day is boring, probably,
Get up at six o'clock in the morning, wash up and make a simple breakfast, make tomato beef noodles, or eat hamburgers and sandwiches with milk, read the newspaper while eating breakfast, occasionally tease the neighborhood kids, go out on time at 7:30, ride Get on the dilapidated second-hand motorcycle, Accra is now living in a military camp, and Sanbengzi was taken back by the army.
Report to the military camp on time at eight o'clock, go to the security office of the military camp to sign in, and brag and chat with the fat guy in the security office.
Then at 8:15, I gave a lecture to the team members at the military camp, told them to read out the precautions, and arranged the affairs for the day.
At noon, I eat beef stew with potatoes or corn kernels in the canteen of the military camp, with pasta or something. Occasionally I can eat something better, and then drink a bowl of thick vegetable soup. During my lunch break, I lie down on the camp bed in the military camp. a while.
In the afternoon, as usual, I read in the small office in the military camp, brag with other squad leaders, and occasionally go to the training ground to show my skills. I finish the work at five o'clock and gather the team on duty to get off work.
I usually go to the cannery to check on the work progress in two days, and go to the vegetable market to buy some meat and vegetables. At this time, Mr. Chen has already gone home. Of course, there are also dinner dishes. Occasionally, I go to a restaurant to have a splurge and eat some barbecue. Support yourself by drinking some homemade Mirinda soda.
By the way, the soda factory in St. Hesse has already started mass production, but they are all in glass bottles. The output is not large and not very expensive. It is half cheaper than foreign Coca-Cola and the like. It has been fully distributed to hotels, restaurants and small shops in the city.
Sodas are packed in wooden boxes, with 20 bottles per box. Currently, there are only two flavors: orange and apple, but they don’t feel that full of flavor. The advantage is that the price is affordable. Eating in San Jose is slow at night, which takes about 30 seconds. Minutes, this restaurant is a fast food restaurant. There are many people coming to eat, mostly workers from nearby factories.
There are the state-owned glass bottle factories that San Jose cooperates with. After counting, almost everyone will get a bottle of Meda soda. During the meal, about 23 bottles of soda are sold. Some workers are more luxurious and buy beer slowly. The price is about five times more expensive than the soda in St. Jose, and the taste of the beer is really not that good. Overall, the sales are pretty good.
The taste is passable, but needs improvement. It is still far from the ideal taste of St. Hesse. Of course, the taste of this soda is still good for now. It is not a problem of raw materials, but the precision of processing equipment and workers. Because of the processing The air speed and bottle cap sealing are all relatively poor.
The soda factory is also preparing to open up channels to the city guard barracks, but the tender has not yet been successful. Saint Jose has a small idea that the vegetable soup is really not delicious, and it is okay to drink soda occasionally. Of course, it is just for show. In terms of support, he does not hide his love for soda in front of others. He often brags to others that he drinks four or five bottles a day, and most of the time he drinks cold drinks.
If you don’t go to a restaurant to eat, you can cook by yourself, usually two dishes, one soup, and some rice. Argentina also has domestically produced rice, but the taste is a bit worse and the output is average. There is very little rice imported from abroad. Generally, rice production areas are The affordable rice produced in Thailand is relatively good, while Indian rice is suitable for fried rice and is more expensive. There is currently no trade between the two countries.
As far as the 1950s are concerned, industrially grown rice is indeed not as good as intensively cultivated rice. It also has something to do with the rice seeds and climatic conditions. In the future, with the cultivation of improved varieties and chemical fertilizers, not only the yield will increase, but the taste will also become better and better.
Make a meal and eat it, take a break, wash the dishes, then stretch and start reading and doing your test papers.
I started reading, reviewing, and previewing until I took a shower at 10:30, and then went to bed on time after my hair was dry.
The cycle starts over and over again.
One day, St. Hesse suddenly thought, "Isn't this what I used to do at work? It was quite boring, and my side job was too big..." and smiled, as if he was a little bored.
If there is a forum, you can write a Q&A on "What is life like after rebirth".
"Thank you for the invitation. I was just reborn not long ago, and now I fish every day, which is almost the same as before I was reborn." - Number of likes: 1, comment: Yes, I am that fish, and I have been caught bald.
…
This time lasted for two weeks, and there were no specific arrangements from above. Until September 9, St. Jose received a transfer order, signed by Commander Tomps Jr.
He was assigned to the staff of the new headquarters, and the retired team leader was taken over by Aragorn. The bald guy was gone, and he would have to drive by himself in the future.
But there is good news, that is, Saint Jose has received a salary increase for the first time since he came to this world. The basic salary has been increased to 11,000 pesos, an increase of 5,500 pesos, which is nearly a double increase. Of course, it also illustrates Saint Jose’s salary from the side. In fact, he was really a generalist in making money before, although this salary is better than nothing compared to Saint Jose's current earning power.
But salary increases are always pleasant. With promotions and salary increases, Saint Jose's predecessor's extra money was basically stopped for him. It was indeed a very uncivilized extra money.
At that time, the monthly income of the predecessor dropped from the peak of 20,000 pesos to less than 8,000 pesos, because Saint Jose felt that it was not necessary to engage in such nonsense, and the additional income from bank financing was also due to all Saint Jose’s The money was spent and not a single peso was recorded in the account.
I took office on September 10th. I have to move to a location near the headquarters. It’s too troublesome to drive more than ten kilometers every day. The reason is that it doesn’t matter how many kilometers. Fortunately, the headquarters is not too far from the cannery. I can rent it in the middle between the headquarters and the cannery. Location.
This time I have to move.
So St. Jose began his journey to find a house and move.
The city is quite large, and is usually introduced by the housing agency. Before Aragon took office, Saint-Jese took advantage of the fact that the two of them rode motorcycles to the housing agency.
Arriving at one of the largest rental agencies, a newly renovated house, Saint Jose opened the glass door. The walls of the agency were filled with advertisements for house rentals.
The person in charge of the reception was a young man with short dark blond hair and a tired face. He looked very smart and somewhat green and fledgling.
"Hello, sir, I am Cthulhu Kate from Harian Agency. You can call me Kate." Kate introduced herself and then started to introduce the house.
"This villa is the most expensive property in our store. It has two floors, a small garden, four bedrooms and two living rooms upstairs, and three bedrooms and two living rooms downstairs. It is 27 years old. The monthly rent is 20,000 pesos." Good guy , it’s so bad, it’s worth a month’s salary in St. Jose, it’s too expensive.
"No. 26 San Martin Avenue, Lane 7, Bauhinia Court Apartment, 7th floor, no elevator, two bedrooms and one living room, fine decoration, move-in package, monthly rent of 9,000 pesos, three deposits and one payment, the lease term starts from 2 years", although It looks good, but the price is a bit too high, and it's on the top floor, so the lighting is great, and it's troublesome to climb the stairs.
"No. 169, Lane 2, Xiangsheli Street, Bauhinia Apartment, fifth floor, two bedrooms and one living room, a library, a bedroom, ordinary decoration, no furniture, private bathroom, we can provide a wooden bed for 3,000 pesos a month. "One deposit, one payment, minimum 1-year contract." This one looks pretty good, and it has a library.
…
"Kate, could you please take us to see the house at No. 169 Champagne Street?" After making a selection, I finally felt that the third one he introduced was more suitable and the price was not expensive.
"Okay sir, I'll get the keys right away." The young man originally thought that San Jose was just here to take a look, but he didn't expect that he was really interested in renting a house. Three thousand pesos a month is considered very expensive, and the average monthly salary in the city is It would be nice to have one for five thousand pesos. The cheapest one is only five hundred pesos, and you can share it with others.
The group of people walked to Champagne Street. The environment here is far better than the current residence of Saint Jose. It is close to the city center and the headquarters of the Municipal Police Department. In addition, many high-ranking officials and powerful families live nearby, as well as government department office workers. Compared to the streets of Ottofos in Saint-Jesse, they are much better.
We arrived at the Bauhinia Apartment. This apartment is eight stories high and has no elevator. It is better than the original location on the top floor. There is an old man on the first floor below the apartment who is responsible for managing the door and doing simple cleaning. It looks pretty good.
After saying hello to the old man, the three of them climbed the stairs to the fifth floor and opened the room. There was still some garbage in the room. It had one bedroom, one living room, a kitchen and a separate bathroom. The area was about forty or fifty square meters. Shenghe Sai turned around, quite satisfied.
The entire apartment uses a red brick structure and has good lighting. The nearby buildings are widely spaced and have two windows. The ventilation conditions are also very good. It is not close to the street and is relatively quiet.
There is no other extra furniture except the bed. There are some stains on the walls of the room, but it is not a big problem. You can buy some lime to paint it. The cement floor is quite flat and there are no potholes. Unfortunately, there are no tiles.
Except for some garbage left by the previous resident, the place was overall quite satisfactory. Kate said that she could ask the cleaning staff to clean up the place and disinfect it soon.
Saint Jose immediately nodded and went to look at other apartments. He briefly bargained with Kate and picked out some minor problems, such as the old toilet in the bathroom, the broken door lock in the bedroom, and the shabby walls. Something wrong.
In the end, the monthly rent was 2,500 pesos. The rent was paid on the 1st of every month. It only supports cash. This is more troublesome. Nowadays, I mostly use cash and rarely swipe cards. It is also a bit troublesome to go to the bank to withdraw cash. I miss the future generations. of smartphones.
Saint Hesse was thinking about withdrawing more money at once, but the bank told him that he should not withdraw too much at one time. After Saint Hesse took out the lease contract, he shut up obediently.
Renting is not subject to cash withdrawal restrictions.
After signing the contract, they moved and found a carriage. They didn't have many daily necessities and gave them all to Aragorn. They wanted to buy a new set of kitchen utensils, tables and chairs.
I purchased new daily necessities and basically threw away everything except books and newspapers.
Kate worked quickly to clean and disinfect the room, and St. Jose hired a laborer to plaster and whitewash the room to make it safe.
Repair the doors and beds, and tell the postman to move the newspaper delivery location to the offline mailbox downstairs, in case there is no recreational reading to read tomorrow morning. Yes, the most important pastime in Saint Jose now is reading the newspaper.
It took another day to call Aragon to help move in, rent a pickup truck, forget about the car, and buy new furniture and appliances.
I was busy all day and threw away a lot of things. I didn’t throw away the big wooden bed in the bedroom because it looked very strong and was made of solid wood. I put on new sheets and quilts and bought a lace mosquito net from Mr. Chen. I stayed in it. Damn it. mosquitoes.
The new environment is really good. The old house has not been rented out. I have a lot of thoughts about staying there.
After the moving matter came to an end, Saint-Jesse went to bed early at ten o'clock and reported to the headquarters' staff office the next day.
Today I still set the alarm clock for six o'clock, got up, washed up, and heated breakfast. The newspaper hasn't been delivered yet. I don't know if the postman got it wrong, so I read college books.
I arrived at the gate of the headquarters on time at 7:30. I had just started work and I had to leave early. I took out my appointment letter and went to report.
