Chapter 51: Do It Yourself
Chapter 51: Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing
When the neighbor returned to the Tsinghuan Car Factory and told the matter, Chen Zikun was angry on the spot: "This Yu Deshun is shameless!"
Xue Pingshun was worried: "We are not afraid of being soft and hard, just afraid that he will not do it if he puts a spoon on the feces. After half a month, he will not be able to live this life."
The neighbor also said: "Yes, no one cleans the public cottages on the street these days, and the feces are piled up like mountains, and there is no place to put them in the cottages."
Chen Zikun said: "It's just a little misunderstanding. I didn't want to make a big deal. The surname Yu didn't want to stop. I had to accompany him and ask the neighbors to testify. This is not bad for me."
The neighbor is in his fifties and is also a sensible person. He has long been dissatisfied with the behavior of the feces. After hearing Chen Zikun say this, he said, "That's natural, but no one is taking feces after all. Lao Xue, it's better for our neighbors to jointly write to the patrol station and ask them to send personnel to take care of it."
Xue Pingshun sighed and said, "I have been working as a patrolman for more than ten years. Isn't it clear? No one is willing to take care of this matter at all. Besides, Yu Deshun and Inspector Ma had a relationship, so it's useless to write a letter together."
The neighbors sighed and shook their heads: "It's really a world of ups and downs. During the Guangxu period, these people who took out manure knew how to drink water and remember the source of their source. Not only did they not charge monthly money, they also brought local specialties from their hometowns to the village during festivals. Now in the Republic of China, they are getting worse and worse. After collecting monthly money, they still don't work. They ask for money for wine every now and then, and stop working when it snows, rains and winds. The neighbors are a little dissatisfied. They either deliberately make the manure overflow in your house or slacking off. This is not a man who takes out manure. It is clearly a bunch of grandpas."
After hearing this, Chen Zikun couldn't help but be indignant and slapped the table and said, "I'm against them. If I don't work hard, I'll stop working in the future. Isn't it just taking out the manure? I thought I could take me and dream."
Xue Pingshun was shocked: "Da Kunzi, aren't you going to change your career, right?"
Chen Zikun smiled and said, "The journey is like a mountain. Of course, I am not going to change my career, but I have a way to deal with him."
After seeing off the neighbor, Xue Pingshun asked him again: "What's the best way?"
Chen Zikun smiled mysteriously and said, "Call Wang Dongliang."
Wang Dongliang is a farmer in Changxindian, the suburbs of Beijing. He has no one at home. He is a bachelor and lives in the Ziguang Car Factory at night. He is honest and diligent. He swept the floor and cleaned the car when he has nothing to do. Xue Pingshun saw that he was honest and simple, and he gave him some of the bits and pieces of buying work. In addition to pulling the car, he was also the urge of the car factory.
When he heard the boss called him, Wang Dongliang came quickly. Chen Zikun asked him to sit down, chatted about some family matters, and learned about the living conditions of the farmers in Changxindian. Wang Dongliang said everything and described the sufferings of the farmers in the countryside in detail.
"Dongliang, if I want to recruit a few people to pick up the manure, and I will take care of food and accommodation but don't pay for the money, and let them sell the manure they take out by themselves, do you think it's OK?" Chen Zikun put forward his own idea.
Wang Dongliang thought about it again and again before saying, "I think it is reliable. It is a good thing that poor people can find a living in the city that doesn't rely on the weather to make a living, even if they are lanterns."
Chen Zikun slapped his thigh: "That's it. You don't need to recruit people when you go back to the countryside, just five or six. Don't be treacherous and slutty, be honest and healthy."
"When will it be done?"
“Go now.”
He sent Wang Dongliang back to Changxindian to recruit soldiers, and Chen Zikun asked Xue Pingshun to customize the tools for manure extraction, long-handled manure spoons, brooms, and manure baskets with jingzits. These are common things in grocery stalls and are very cheap. However, Chen Zikun felt that this kind of manure basket had no lid and was easily leaked and polluted the streets during transportation. He decided to modify it and asked a carpenter to create a lid and put a few rain cloths on it so that the manure water would not overflow.
He also arranged the manure-pulling cart and hired two mule carts, with wooden boards tied with iron cabins and lids on them. Even if the car overturned, it would be guaranteed that they would not leak.
One day, Wang Dongliang came back from the countryside with twelve men. More than a dozen dark-skinned and simple-looking farmers stood in the yard, staring at Chen Zikun and Xue Pingshun with their eyes.
Wang Dongliang said embarrassedly: "As soon as I asked about recruiting workers, they all came. Boss, please look at it and send it back if you don't have any problems."
Chen Zikun said: "Since you are here, why are you going back? Let the kitchen open fire, stew pork head meat, and welcome the brothers!"
An hour later, the farmers sat at the dining table with white flour buns and greasy pork meat on the table. They couldn't eat such a good meal all year round in the countryside. Everyone's greed was almost coming out of their throats, but the boss didn't say anything, so they held the shelf and swallowed their saliva and waited.
"Brothers, I am also a farmer. I don't say anything. Eat and drink well!" Chen Zikun ordered, and the twelve men started eating like a wind and clouds. The whole room was filled with smacking lips. I didn't know how to pass by the door, and maybe I thought there was a group of pigs inside.
Chen Zikun called Wang Dongliang over and said, "After dinner, take them to the clothes estimation shop, each of them gets a piece of clothing, so there is no need to be new, but it must be clean and the colors must be uniform. Then take them to Huaqing Pond for a bath. Do you understand?"
"Boss, you are such a good person." Wang Dongliang was moved and tears were bursting.
Chen Zikun smiled and patted Wang Dongliang on the shoulder: "Fuck me, good days are going to last longer."
The new guys had enough food and drink, changed into new clothes and took a shower, and when they returned to the Tsinghuan Train Factory, it was already dark. Xue Pingshun asked them to stay, but did not arrange work, which made everyone feel a little uneasy.
The next day, we were still serving these people with delicious food and drinks. Everyone became even more anxious and asked Wang Dongliang: "What does the boss mean? We are so sad that we can't help eating and drinking every day."
Wang Dongliang ran to ask Chen Zikun, but Chen Zikun just smiled: "It's okay, let's rest first."
A few days have passed, and all aspects are very calm, but the residents in Shifuma Street cannot hold on anymore. The public thatched cottages on the streets and alleys are full of them. Not to mention the convenience of squatting down, they can't even get in. There is no way to solve the problem on the spot. After a few days, the alleys are smelly and not as good as it is. The cottages are full of ditches and walls. Fortunately, it is not summer yet. Otherwise, the breeding of mosquitoes and flies will be even more terrifying.
The residents couldn't stand it, so they entrusted the neighbors with high respect for high-profile people to go to the municipal office to report the situation, and on the other hand, they raised some money to come to Yuji manure factory, begging Yu Deshun to start construction.
Yu Deshun was proud, sat on a rattan chair, holding the newly purchased purple clay pot and drank tea with slick eyes, looking at the sky, shook his head and sighed: "It's not that I don't want to start construction, there is really something unspeakable. Someone even invited heroes from the north and the south, and insisted on occupying my feces. I had no choice but to let the virtuous."
The neighbors are already very angry with the feces valve on weekdays. At this time, they are even more angry when they see Yu Deshun's face. However, when they think of the feces flowing all over the streets, they can only swallow their anger and smile: "Master Yu, are you joking? We have asked all of them. Those young men in the car factory really don't want to steal your business, it's all a misunderstanding."
"It's not okay to misunderstand." Yu Deshun put the teapot king on the table, and then thought of the Inspector Ma's advice and pretended to say, "I'm dirty and tired, what can I do? I'm just a bowl of rice? The old and young men look down on me so much, and it's not appropriate for me to be pretentious. This is true. If you feel that you can't stand it, you might as well go to the police station to report the Chen surname. As long as he goes in, I will send someone to start work immediately."
The neighbors looked at each other and felt embarrassed. What's the matter? The car factory is running well and it won't bother the people or cause trouble. Let's sue him. There is no reason.
It didn't make sense, so the neighbors had to come back. The other person who went to the municipal office also came back, saying that Shuntian Prefecture did not have a charter to deal with the trifle such as manure removal, so it would be better for the neighbors to solve it themselves.
Shifuma Street is located in Xuanwu Gate, and the residents are all old Beijing. Although most of them are ordinary people, there are also people with status and status. After a few days, the streets were filled with shit and urine. As a wise and gentry, how can you ignore it? But if you just take off manure, you really don’t want to deal with him. People just don’t want to do it. If you can still put him in prison, there is no such thing in law.
There was no choice but to go to Tseng Guang Car Factory and persuade him with kind words, hoping to talk to him.
Xue Pingshun came out to face these people and said, "It is our fault that it has caused trouble to the neighbors because of our reasons. I will bow to everyone and apologize. Our Tsinghua Car Factory is all manly and will never implicate everyone. We will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."
The sincerity of his words was a world of difference compared to Yu Deshun. The neighbors were all very clear in their hearts. They couldn't blame others for this matter, so they had to sigh and go.
...
Seeing that the temperature was almost done, Yu Deshun was proud and said to his wife: "I saw that, I have to treat these people like this."
But the wife said: "Be the head of the family, be careful to shoot yourself in the foot."
Yu Deshun said: "With Master is backing up, I'm afraid of a ball. The fifth Master has arranged everything, so you can wait and see."
Just when the residents near Shifuma Street were at a loss, a team of new-looking manure workers appeared in everyone's sight. Unlike the previous manure men, they were wearing uniform black cloth cotton robes, with blue cloth on their chests, embroidered with two words to "cleaning", wearing felt hats on their heads, cotton gauze masks on their faces, and a uniform manure spoon and manure basket, which was refreshing.
These manure-cutters work very hard, not afraid of dirt or fatigue. One group of people specializes in the official cottage in the alley, and one group of people go to the residents' homes to pick up manure. In the past, manure-cutters used to work and eat and get a choke, but if they don't go along with their wishes, they deliberately sprinkle feces and urine, making the house dirty. However, these newcomers are not only quick to deal with. After digging out the cesspool, they sprinkle lime and spray medicine. It is said that they are disinfectants used in foreign clinics and can kill germs.
The most surprising thing is that they don't charge money.
No money is charged, no money! All the neighbors were dumbfounded. After inquiring, it turned out that this group of people was hired by the Tsinghua Car Factory. Everyone then understood and gave thumbs up one by one: "Right! Be particular! Be kind!"
In less than a morning, the feces abandoned by Yu Deshun were cleaned. When the people from the manure factory heard the news, all the officials' huts in the alleys were hollowed out, and even the corners and corners of the streets and alleys were cleaned up, emitting the smell of disinfectant everywhere.
This time it was Yu Deshun's turn to be stunned.
