Ma Teng had just put on his pajamas and was about to get into bed.
Suddenly I heard someone knocking on the door.
He opened the door and shouted, "Who is it?"
"Xiao Ma, I, the third uncle, have something small to discuss with you. Please open the door and just say a few words."
"Third uncle, you are really good. What can you say to me this late at night?"
Ma Teng wrapped himself in a large cotton coat and went to open the door.
"Third uncle, tell me what's the matter with you."
"Xiao Ma, I'm a little sorry. It's like this. I heard in the courtyard that you like local specialties and the like, so we wanted to see if you want anything else?" Yanbu smiled kindly at Ma Teng.
"Other, what?"
"There are the persimmons I mentioned, as well as walnuts, wild yams, mountain mushrooms, and fungus.
Don't worry, they're all good stuff. "
After Yan Bugui finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper and handed it over.
He took out a flashlight from his pocket and illuminated it.
Hey, do these people have so much stuff? And they are all good stuff. I guess there aren’t even that many warehouses in recycling bins.
Seeing that Ma Teng didn't speak for a while, Yan Bugui's heart skipped a beat and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Ma, it doesn't matter. It's okay if you don't want to finish it. You can see how much you can get."
"Third uncle, it's not a question of whether it should be completed or not, but whether there is any problem here.
There are so many things, it’s not just speculation.
You should know the consequences if you report it.
This is not just fifty or sixty kilograms or one or two hundred kilograms, but a full fifty thousand kilograms. "Ma Teng shook the paper in his hand at Yan Bugui.
"This pony, I know it's a bit serious, but don't worry, we will keep it a secret. This winter, it will be more and more difficult for everyone. We all have families to support."
"Third uncle, to be honest, the things are not expensive, even lower than the market price. I can collect them, but not in the yard.
In the east of the city, after walking a mile outside Dongzhimen, there is a small village with no people around. The intact house inside only has a small courtyard with a gate. The day after tomorrow, Saturday at 5:30 pm, we will trade there.
But, this time it’s just money, I don’t care about anything else, I don’t care about anything else in between, Mr. Third, no matter what, it’s only this time.
As for overall arrangements and the like, you can handle things yourself, I only trade.
The time arrangement is enough. Okay, third uncle, you can go back to sleep. "Ma Teng handed the paper to Yan Bugui again.
"Xiao Ma, the weight and price..." Yan Bugui was a little worried.
"Third uncle, the quantity and price you wrote above are a little bit higher, but it is acceptable. It is slightly cheaper than what is available on the market. The quantity will be according to the quantity you gave me.
Again, it's up to you to arrange things. "
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements. Don't worry, Xiaoma. The third uncle will definitely arrange everything for you."
"Sure, I believe you. It's getting late. Let's go back." After Ma Teng finished speaking, he closed the door.
They are all good stuff. Ma Teng looked at them and found that the prices are not expensive. They should have been based on the prices at recycling bins.
But it's one or two points cheaper than what's on the market.
How could Ma Teng let it go so easily? This cruel attack was enough to keep him comfortable for a year.
These are all authentic mountain goods.
When Ma Teng returned to the house, he got into bed and fell asleep comfortably.
Maybe it was because of the drinking that I had no dreams all night.
When he went out in the morning, most of the people in the yard greeted Ma Teng warmly when they saw him.
Ma Teng muttered to himself, are they all so realistic?
But when others say hello to Ma Teng, no matter what their previous relationship was, Ma Teng will still respond.
Of course, this does not include the Jia family.
Went to the morning stall and bought today's steamed buns.
When we were approaching the factory, I didn't forget to take out half a bag of sweet potatoes from the space. They were all very small and could be eaten after roasting for ten or twenty minutes.
When he arrived at the factory, Ma Teng thought he was the first one today.
Unexpectedly, almost all arrived.
"Morning."
"Morning."
"What's going on with you guys today? Why are you here so early?" Ma Teng asked doubtfully.
"Mr. Ma, I knew as soon as I heard what you said that you definitely didn't read the blackboard at the factory entrance yesterday."
"What happened again?"
"It's nothing. It's a good thing. Today happens to be the end of the month paycheck."
"Payment? Today is the end of the month, right?" Ma Teng looked at the calendar on his desk and said.
"Yes, today happens to be Thursday. If I wait until next month, it will be a bit late.
What day is tomorrow? It's New Year's Day.
There will definitely not be any payment, and the day after tomorrow happens to be a Saturday, so there will be no payment. It is Monday and Tuesday after the week, and the finance officials are definitely not in the mood to pay. They recently arrived in Laba in a hurry.
We have a tradition here that no money is given out during the holidays, either before or after the holidays.
As long as there are two consecutive festivals, how can we survive without money? The leaders above also know our difficulties.
It just so happens that we are getting paid in the morning, and our whole team happened to go to inspect the office building this morning. Mr. Ma, do you have any suggestions? "Brother Cheng answered Ma Teng's question very professionally.
"Suggestions? I don't have any suggestions. Brother Cheng, just arrange it well."
"It's almost time. Let's go. Get there early and quickly check the office building. We'll have nothing to do today." Brother Shen is always in a hurry.
In the morning, the technical department and the logistics department receive wages.
In the afternoon, there are various workshops.
In a large factory with tens of thousands of people, paying wages is not a simple matter.
There are five external financial windows, and each window now has a sign with the name of each department on it.
Ma Teng walked to the front and found the electrician team at the third window.
There are already quite a few people queuing up here, including those from warehouses, machine repair companies, and car teams.
There are several departments that Ma Teng has never seen before, and naturally he doesn't know them either.
Soon it was 9 o'clock, and the financial window opened directly to the outside world.
A group of elder sisters had probably seen such battles before, so they didn't panic at all and put away all the notebooks from each department.
"Which department is he from? What's his name?"
"Hello comrade, I am Ma Teng from the electrical engineering team."
"Ma Teng, Electrician Group, Level 7 Electrician 88.21, sign here. The money and tickets are in the bag. Check it. If it's missing, I won't leave here."
"Comrade, if others don't believe me, I must believe you. There's no need to check." Ma Teng turned around and left.
The eldest sister inside was also very comfortable. She was the first person to meet such a sensible person and said, "Next one."
"Hello, comrade, Cheng Pujun from the Electrical Engineering Group."
…………
He said he wouldn't check it, but after Ma Teng left here, he still opened the envelope and checked it carefully.
Not to mention anything else, this is more than 80 yuan in this era.
The meaning is quite extraordinary.
In this era, as long as it is not prostitution and gambling, but just eating and drinking, if the more than 80 yuan cannot be spent, it will be bound to various tickets. Without tickets, it will not work even if you have money.
Another pleasant day.
After waiting at the door for more than ten minutes, all the people from the electrician team came out, and everyone was smiling.
Apparently they all received a new level of wages.
"Let's go, don't be shy, work is important." Ma Teng checked his equipment and walked towards the first checkpoint.
Others followed one after another.
