Era: Start as a buyer

It's sunny, it's good weather. Perhaps this is not the case in the hot and hot seasons, when city dwellers hope for rain to cool down. Rural people think about production and hope for a heavy rain.

Counting the time now, it's already late July, and it's not even that cool in the morning.

Because of the weather, it was difficult for the young couple to sleep hugging each other. If you hold it to sleep, you will sweat after a while. Holding the mountain in his hand every day is Luo Cheng's last stubbornness against the hot weather.

Zhao Qian woke up and took Luo Cheng's hand away from her body. She had to get up and get busy. The clothes she washed for Luo Cheng yesterday and dried in the afternoon had already been dried.

The clothes Luo Cheng wore yesterday will need to be changed and washed today. She had to make breakfast in the morning and buy vegetables. If there were no rotten vegetable leaves in the vegetable market, she planned to go to the countryside to pull weeds in the afternoon. At least she had to prevent the rabbits from starving to death before they were dealt with. It is simply not enough to feed the rabbits with so much grass for the children to play around.

Just a quick calculation, the day is packed. A person is like a happy bird, getting up and getting dressed and getting busy.

Luo Cheng felt that Zhao Qian was up, but she was just lazy and sleepy, so she continued to sleep. When I was alone in the town, if I just went to the mountains to check traps, I didn't have to get up early at all. People would go to work in the fields and get up before dawn. He had to at least wait until the sun was a little high before he got up.

However, in summer, and because I go to bed early at night, I may sleep until I wake up around seven o'clock. If it's cold, he can sleep in bed until noon.

Zhao Qian didn't get up until the porridge was ready and she called Luo Cheng. Last night I had fried eggs, fried in lard, which was a luxury. To cook porridge today, Zhao Qian washed the four remaining eggs with slightly broken shells from yesterday and put them in the porridge to cook directly.

This porridge with boiled eggs is another luxurious meal. However, Zhao Qian planned to just eat one in the morning and leave one for Luo Cheng to eat when he comes back from get off work.

Today was another pleasant day for Luo Cheng. When he went to work in the factory, he had nothing to do but chat with his colleagues. The logistics department has designated items for purchase. Many of them do not require the personal ability of the purchaser and are just normal transaction docking.

Those who are responsible for normal purchasing are just running errands. They usually cannot get extra supplies this month or get very little.

Luo Cheng had breakfast and went to work leisurely. As for whether to eat in the cafeteria or come back at noon. Luo Cheng told Zhao Qian that he would come back as much as possible if he could come back to eat, and he would come back under normal circumstances. Unless I have a chat with someone at noon, I will only go to the factory to eat.

In fact, Luo Cheng didn't want to go home for dinner, mainly because he didn't want to walk back and forth. But he doesn't have many food stamps, so even if he goes to the food store to take out his ration and exchange it for food stamps. In the factory cafeteria, there isn't enough rice and steamed buns for him to eat every day. If it comes to eating steamed buns, he doesn't want to eat them now, and his mouth is indeed a bit heavy.

Zhao Qian was very happy when she heard Luo Cheng said he would come back for lunch and planned to buy some beans. Luo Cheng said last time that he likes to eat this.

After Luo Cheng had eaten, he immediately went out and joined the army of people going to work in the city. After arriving at the purchasing department of the factory, I found that he had arrived quite early in the purchasing department. When I passed by the Human Resources Department, almost everyone in that department was here.

In his group, Zhou Lin and Zhang Le were both there, chatting while reading the newspaper. Seeing Luo Cheng coming, he greeted him directly and warmly, and Luo Cheng instantly joined the chatting group.

"Brother Zhou, Brother Zhang, we take turns to arrange for hot water in our office. Is there a rule for this?"

Not long after chatting, Luo Cheng saw two colleagues from other groups come in with two bottles of hot water and put them in a special place for hot water bottles. And if everyone wants to drink water, they can pour water and drink it.

"We are in the purchasing group of daily necessities. We don't have to deal with the hot water issue. The people from the internal parts loss group have always been in charge. However, Luo Cheng, you were not in the department two days ago. I have something to tell you. We purchase Ke may be making big moves recently."

"What big move?"

"Integration. If you are from the town, you should know that communes have been established in all towns and villages."

Luo Cheng nodded, and his inner curiosity aroused. What does the integration of the machinery factory's purchasing department have to do with the establishment of a commune in the township.

Zhou Lin began to talk to Luo Cheng about the integration. Luo Cheng was from the town and should know the meaning of the establishment of the commune, which was collectivization. Everything in the town was collective, and everyone had to eat in the canteen.

Luo Cheng can now get prey such as eggs, wild boars and pheasants, which is really a skill. The commune has been established for more than half a month, and the purchase station directly went to the commune to organize people to purchase collective things. Nowadays, rural people basically have no savings at home in terms of food and mountain products.

If you don’t have a pot at home, you can’t cook, so you have to eat from the canteen. Ordinary people may not pick mushrooms in the mountains, unless the commune organizes people to pick them, and they must be given work points. Otherwise, ordinary people would pick mushrooms without cooking them, and not many people would think of picking them and sending them to the collection station to sell them for money.

The prey in the mountains and the fish in the river are all collective. Collectives also cooperated with local unit purchase stations, so the establishment of communes almost cut off individual purchase channels in disguise.

One is the canteen, which has stopped buying personal meals. One is that the land is collective again, and the things grown are also collective. Luo Cheng was probably just purchasing food supplies and didn't understand some things.

Cotton, flax, tobacco leaves, etc., these economic crops that others had access to could no longer be harvested. No matter what the factory is, their purchasing department actually purchases all daily necessities. This is a strange phenomenon in this era. There is no need to worry about too much. In an era when supplies are scarce, anything can be exchanged.

But now, the establishment of communes and the establishment of collective canteens have almost cut off all public-private, that is, individual acquisition channels.

Everyone saw Luo Cheng get some meat a while ago and thought he still had some abilities, but now they seem to have underestimated him. Damn it, how did the commune leader in Luo Cheng's town resist the pressure from above and sell the commune's things to Luo Cheng.

Let alone selling Luo Cheng privately due to good friendship, the town organizes people to go hunting in the mountains, how can there be airtight walls? If we can do it privately, how can the county’s purchase station still carry out its work?

Relationships like Zhou Lin's are all in the urban area and not personal, so it won't affect them. As long as they are related to towns and villages, most of them will not be able to continue.

In addition, rural individuals do not raise chickens, ducks and pigs, so the pressure is concentrated on local poultry and livestock factories. As for Liu Yong, the leader of Luo Cheng's team, he could have used his relatives' old connections at the grain station to get some chicken, duck and pork to provide entertainment in the canteen. It would definitely not be enough to provide extra meals for the factory employees. .

Now Team Leader Liu's private procurement channels may be completely cut off. The supply pressure on the poultry and livestock manufacturers has increased. The relationship is not particularly strong, and he will no longer engage in small tricks in private.

When Luo Cheng came yesterday, Team Leader Liu was not there and went to work in the afternoon. He will still come to work this morning, but Zhou Lin guesses that he will have to go out in the afternoon. If he has made little progress recently, let alone becoming a team leader, his position as a buyer may have to be adjusted after the integration.

The Purchasing Department is a department, but there is no section chief, just a few groups. After this integration, many personnel will be transferred. In the end, it became a group, and only seven or eight people might be left. After being integrated into a group, it will become a comprehensive group. Whoever has the ability may be able to become the first section chief of the purchasing department of the machinery factory.

This ability is not determined by what is said above, nor does it depend on how strong you are, but only when people in the group recognize you.

For example, in the team that Luo Cheng is in now, although Liu Yong is the team leader, if Zhou Lin doesn't take advantage of him, there is nothing he can do against Zhou Lin. Could it be possible to force Zhou Lin to use his connections to purchase things for him?

He can't immediately order Luo Cheng to go to the towns below to purchase a lot of things. If he doesn't agree with you, anyone can go against it.

So in this procurement department, if the higher-ups agree that you are useless, even if you can get things, it will be useless. At most, you can live a better life personally, but if your colleagues don't recognize you, or your superiors force you to become a team leader or even a section chief, you won't be able to step down.

Zhou Lin told Luo Cheng that it wouldn't be long until the 25th, after the factory had paid wages. Our Purchasing Department is about to make a big move, but Luo Cheng doesn't have to worry. He just purchased more than 200 kilograms of meat for the factory this month. Moreover, he can get a lot of things privately. With these two points, it is impossible for the superiors to transfer him to other positions.

At that time, it will depend on how the team leader is re-elected. If it was the nature of voting and seniority was not important, Zhou Lin felt that he would definitely not be able to do it anyway, so he could play a big role in the winter. The same goes for Zhang Le in the group. His relationship is relatively private and he is not very strong, so he is often not seen in the office. He is always outside helping the factory leaders with errands.

Old Liu, the one with the same surname as team leader Liu Yong, all his resources are on daily necessities. It's also a bit weak. It is said that ordinary people pay attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation. If you have resources in these four aspects, everyone will have a high demand for you. Liu Liang only makes soap, matches and the like, small things that make life easier. After integration, he will stay in the group, but again, no one will choose him to be the group leader. You are the one who makes soap and matches. Why should everyone listen to your arrangements then?

The youngest and newcomer Luo Cheng is logically the least qualified. But he was able to get the supplies that everyone wanted but didn't have, no matter who was the team leader or the section chief in the future. Luo Cheng will become a special being who can get extra meat and take care of everyone in private. The people above will definitely not let anyone touch Luo Cheng easily.

And with a thorn like Luo Cheng here, if you can't deal with him, then you might as well join. Of course, the details will depend on the 25th.
