Secretary He also lived in the Tongzi Building inside the factory. It wasn't too far away. The sisters were there in five minutes' walk.
After asking the residents downstairs, the two learned that Secretary He lived on the third floor.
When the two arrived, Secretary He was having dinner.
The dinner was also a big fish given by Sister He.
However, Secretary He only cooked one. As for the other two, he had already marinated them and they are now hanging to dry by the window!
The weather was hot, and Secretary He didn't close the door.
When he saw Liu Ye and Zhao Jingmei, he was obviously stunned.
"Why are you here? Is there something wrong with the cloth?"
Secretary He put down his chopsticks and asked worriedly.
It's time to eat. Liu Ye must have something important to come here at this time.
"No, no, there's nothing wrong with the cloth. We came to you for other reasons."
Liu Ye waved her hands repeatedly to calm the nervous Secretary He.
Secretary He breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned around and wanted to pour water for the two of them, but was stopped by Zhao Jingmei.
"You're welcome, you can eat first!"
Secretary He makes steamed fish. If it's cold, it won't taste good.
"Okay, let's talk while eating."
Secretary He refused to be polite to Zhao Jingmei and sat back down to eat.
"Secretary He, we are here to ask you if your eldest sister is willing to bring fish to the city to sell?"
Zhao Jingmei got straight to the point and asked directly.
"Selling fish? Why do you think of selling fish?"
Secretary He paused while picking up the food and asked in confusion.
Isn't Liuye busy making clothes and opening a clothing store? Why did she change her position to selling fish?
"Today I came back with the fish, and I was asked by many people along the way. As you know, it is not easy to eat fish now. It is not enough to have money, but you also need to have tickets. When everyone saw the big fish in my hand, they were all excited
I’m so greedy!”
Although the use of tickets is not as strict as in previous years, everything must be purchased with a ticket.
Especially in Shanghai, which has loose policies, there are not a few people doing business in the streets and alleys.
You don't need a ticket to buy their stuff.
But fresh food like fish and shrimp is hard to come by.
Even if you have money, it is difficult to buy tickets without tickets.
Not only do you have money and tickets, but you also have to be lucky enough to go to the wet market and happen to find fish for sale.
Therefore, even if the workers of the Fifth Textile Factory are not short of money, it is not easy to eat fish for once.
"It was the same when I came back. I was questioned all the way."
Secretary He came back with Liu Ye, so naturally he was also the subject of constant questioning.
"Since everyone has this demand, wouldn't it be great if we brought the fish over and sold them?"
Zhao Jingmei clapped her hands and said happily.
“Selling fish can’t be that easy!”
Secretary He immediately retorted without thinking.
"It's just selling a fish, is it that difficult?"
Zhao Jingmei shrugged and asked nonchalantly.
"You said it's light and easy. Think about it, how do you pack the fish when you bring it from the village? How do you transport it? And where do you sell it? Fish are not as easy to transport as clothes."
Secretary He said unceremoniously.
"this……"
Zhao Jingmei didn't think much about it at first, just acted with enthusiasm.
I think if everyone has demand, there will be a market.
She had never thought about these specific details.
Now when asked by Secretary He, he was speechless.
"Haha~~This is not a difficult problem, it can be easily solved."
Just when Zhao Jingmei was silent, Liu Ye smiled and spoke.
"We can borrow the tricycle in the cafeteria to bring the fish over."
There are three tricycles in the canteen of the Fifth Textile Factory.
Except for using it when I usually go shopping, I keep it there at other times.
Zhao Dagang is in charge of the canteen, so borrowing a tricycle is no problem at all.
"Then what are you going to use to pack the fish? You can't use a wooden barrel, right? There's no such big wooden barrel."
Fish cannot live without water, so a container is necessary to hold fish.
"This is not a difficult task. Cousin, I remember you said that you have a colleague's brother who works in a chemical factory. Isn't there a big barrel for raw materials in the chemical factory? Let's go get one. Clean it and it will be used.
Come and get the fish."
Last time Liuye went to buy commercial housing, he passed by the entrance of a chemical plant and happened to see workers unloading goods.
What was transported was some oversized plastic barrels.
Such a bucket can be used to hold fish as long as the top lid is removed.
"Why didn't I think of it? You are still smart."
When Liu Ye mentioned it, Zhao Jingmei immediately became energetic.
Yes! Those plastic vats containing chemical reagents are perfect for holding fish.
"As for selling it, just sell it at the entrance of the Fifth Textile Factory. As the secretary of Director Xiao, you can still handle this small thing!"
Liu Ye raised his eyebrows playfully at Secretary He.
Of course, the place where fish is sold is also very particular.
You can't just find a street selling fish.
The employees of the city management department are not vegetarians. When the time comes, they can't even run away if they come over to catch up.
If you sell fish at the factory gate, that's totally fine.
This is the territory that belongs to the Fifth Textile Factory, and you can't control it even if you want to.
Secretary He touched his nose uncomfortably.
As Xiao Yongqing's most trusted secretary, he certainly has some privileges.
Letting my brother-in-law sell fish at the factory gate is not a big deal.
"Then we've decided to sell fish right in front of the factory!"
Zhao Jingmei waved her hand and made a decision happily.
"Cousin, we can't make a decision on this matter. We need Sister He's consent."
Liu Ye pulled Zhao Jingmei's sleeve and said helplessly.
"Don't worry, my eldest sister will agree."
Before Zhao Jingmei could say anything, Secretary He agreed.
"Can you make decisions for your eldest sister?"
Zhao Jingmei asked doubtfully.
"Don't worry! My eldest brother-in-law will listen to me."
Secretary He patted his chest proudly.
Over the years, Secretary He has been helping Sister He and his family.
Back then, when Sister He first married into the Lu family, the Lu family lived in the shabbiest thatched house in the village.
It was Secretary He who gave Sister He the idea and asked her to work with everyone to become tailors, and life gradually improved.
After a few years, the policy was relaxed, and Secretary He relied on Xiao Yongqing's relationship to get a lot of business for Sister He.
Although you can't do it for long, you can still make some money.
It can be said that the Lu family relies entirely on Secretary He to have such a good life today.
In the past two years, the Lu family has built a new house and bought cattle. Life is getting better and better.
In the past, it was unimaginable that two disabled people could live such a prosperous life.
Because of this, the entire Lu family, including Lu Dayong's parents, regarded He Baosheng as the God of Wealth.
This God of Wealth has pointed out the way for the family to get rich. How could the Lu family not agree?
As long as He Baosheng asks Sister He to sell fish, Sister He will definitely agree.
