“The work clothes of this era were relatively large, requiring 4 feet of fabric for the upper body and 3 feet for the lower body.
Adding half a foot of wastage, a suit of clothing requires seven and a half feet of fabric.
The width of the cloth is 4 and a half feet.
A piece of cloth is 40 feet.
Two hundred and fifty sets of fabrics require forty-seven bolts of cloth."
Zhang Xingmin, director of the logistics department of the cotton spinning mill, looked at Li Weidong and said: "Brother, I won't take advantage of you. Let Lao Yang bring out fifty boxes of workpieces, and our two factories can complete this exchange."
These days, because the material used for workpieces is steel, which is a controlled substance, it is as in demand as cloth. The price of a box of workpieces is about one piece of cloth.
Of course, the specific price depends on the situation.
Li Weidong smiled: "Brother, fifty boxes of workpieces is too much. You also know that our steel rolling mill has built a new workshop. The few supplies reserved at the beginning of the year have been spent. Fifty boxes of workpieces are really expensive.
Not out”
Zhang Xingmin looked embarrassed: "It's not that I don't give you face, brother, you also know how scarce fabrics are now."
"Huahua is indeed a good girl. No, we are already engaged. When we talk about getting married, Huahua doesn't want anything, but we are a man, so we have to give it. Three turns and one ring will hardly break me."
Shan Xiaolin smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I have saved some money over the years, but tickets are too difficult to get, especially bicycle tickets and sewing tickets. I searched all over the pigeon market and couldn't buy them."
Shan Xiaolin helped cover it with a tarpaulin, jumped out of the car and prepared to drive: "Brother Wei Dong, let's go back to the factory together?"
Especially this month, not a single business has been completed. If this continues, it may really close down.
A smile appeared at the corner of Chen Xueru's lips, and she walked swayingly to Li Weidong, leaning over to look him up and down.
She has thick arms and legs, is 1.7 meters tall, has a strong body and is very strong.
However, due to Li Weidong's intervention, Fan Jinyou was dismissed from his post and naturally no longer had the ability to marry Chen Xueru.
In addition to the monthly salary, drivers also receive long-distance subsidies. The more miles they cover, the more money they receive every month.
Chen Xueru chased her out of the store and looked at the bicycle going away, feeling a little frustrated.
"Hmph, if someone dares to ask you to make clothes these days, it's considered a good one! I think your shop will become famous sooner or later."
Zhang Erluzi is a butcher and can often buy pig offal from the slaughterhouse at low prices. The family's life is considered first-class in the courtyard house.
The completion of a transaction required compromise between the buyer and the seller, and in the end forty-seven pieces of cloth were sold for the price of forty-five boxes of workpieces.
"It's better to follow the rules. Hand over the workpiece with one hand and the cloth with the other. I'll call Director Yang now."
"The name Li Weidong is so familiar!" Chen Xueru raised her eyebrows, thought for a moment, pointed at Li Weidong and said, "You are the Li Weidong that little bitch Xu Huizhen once mentioned."
Li Weidong parked his bicycle and entered Xueru Silk and Satin Shop.
There is no such thing as fatigue driving these days, but based on Li Weidong's suggestion, Niu Yong formulated relevant rules and regulations, stipulating that a driver cannot drive continuously for more than five hours at a time. The drivers did not understand it at first. After all,
These days, the number of trucks is small, and the emphasis on driving is to pack more and go faster. Seeing so many goods waiting to be transported, the drivers have no time to rest, so they expressed their opposition one after another. Some drivers even said that Li Weidong had bad intentions.
, destroying the steel rolling mill construction.
There is enough cloth now, all that is needed is a tailor.
Does Xu Huizhen fall in love with me? Li Weidong frowned: "Comrade Chen Xueru, the relationship between me and Comrade Xu Huizhen is innocent. We can't accuse someone of innocence out of thin air."
"Bicycle tickets are indeed in short supply, but if you don't mind whether it's old or new, you can follow Yan Bugui's example and go to a bicycle repair shop at the corner of the street to buy a bicycle."
Xu Huizhen. Little bitch.
Li Weidong was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that the owner of the silk and satin shop and Xu Hui were really "enemies".
After the divorce, Chen Xueru married Fan Jinyou again under the attack of Fan Jinyou's sweet words.
After the deal was negotiated, the tense atmosphere in the office suddenly disappeared, and a cheerful atmosphere returned.
"It turns out to be Huahua! People in the compound call her Huahua and have forgotten her real name." Li Weidong suddenly patted his forehead: "Good boy, that girl Huahua is pretty good. You have found a treasure."
The silk and satin shops sell only women's cheongsams, and few gay men patronize them.
"We are all brothers, don't be so polite, but you guys need to be more careful. You can't continue to fool around like this. Your mother is still waiting to have a grandson!" Li Weidong took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and gave the bill.
Xiao Lin took one and said, "Come here, refresh yourself."
Shan Xiaolin seems to have changed his mind since he was cheated by Xu Damao and Cuihua Xianren. He has a girlfriend and is still focused on work all day long. Now in the team, Shan Xiaolin is the most motivated and is on the road almost every day.
But she was unwilling to do so.
"The Liu's car repair shop at the corner of Siheyuan Street should be good. There are several families in the nearby compound, and they all save their bicycles from him."
Yi Zhonghai and the others had been greedy for a long time. They once tried to take advantage of the Zhang family, but were scared away by Zhang Er's butcher's knife.
Li Weidong saw that his eyes were bloodshot and his face showed the exhaustion of not sleeping all night. He patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Old Dan, please pay attention to your health and never drive while tired."
Pity.
Li Weidong turned around and said with a smile: "I'm here to give you a big deal."
The second one is Chen Xueru from Xueru Silk and Satin Shop.
Li Weidong is not complimenting Shan Xiaolin.
Xueru Silk and Satin Store is not far from the tavern, both located on Zhengyangmen Street.
Seeing that it was Li Weidong, Chen Xueru was a little surprised: "Comrade, this is you."
Hearing this, Shan Xiaolin almost jumped up with excitement: "Brother Wei Dong, thank you so much."
"Brother, I won't embarrass you. How about forty boxes, forty boxes of workpieces? Last time your factory owed our factory half a piece of cloth!"
"Saving bicycles? This is a good idea." Shan Xiaolin's eyes lit up and he said: "It doesn't matter if it's old or new. The thermos bottle factory has a spray painting workshop. If you go to the workshop and go through the old bicycles, they will become new ones. Wait until I get off work today.
, just go and check it out. Brother Wei Dong, do you know which car repair shop is reliable?"
Cha.
"Forty boxes are too few, and I can't explain it to the factory director. The half piece of cloth was caused by Lao Yang's prank, and it didn't happen at all."
Huahua is the only daughter of the Zhang family.
If Shan Xiaolin marries Huahua, he will definitely live a comfortable life in the future. As his friend, Li Weidong is really happy for him.
"Wait a minute, I'll be out soon?"
During the verbal battle, Li Weidong seemed to have found the feeling he had when buying clothes in a small store in later generations.
A crisp voice came from the store: "Aunt Zhang, it's not that I won't give up the price, it's just that the profit is too thin, and I have to support my family."
"Okay, if you say you are innocent, then be innocent." Chen Xueru seemed to have remembered something, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and a strange look appeared on her face.
"It's okay, I sleep in the truck for an hour every five hours." Shan Xiaolin rubbed his red and swollen eyes, looked to see if there was no one around, walked up to Li Weidong and whispered: "Brother Wei Dong, what happened last time
Thank you, if it weren’t for you, I might have been expelled from the truck team if I was caught by those two people.”
After Li Weidong finished speaking, he thought for a moment and then added: "If you want to sew air tickets, I have a friend who may have it, and I will think of a way for you."
In this era, marrying a wife requires a strong body.
Li Weidong walked around the store with his hands behind his back. The cheongsam hanging on the shelf was exquisitely made. If it were kept in future generations, it would be enough to be displayed in a large department store and marked with a staggering price.
"No, I still have something to do. Drive the car to the poverty alleviation workshop and ask Niu Meng to store the cloth in the warehouse."
Xu Huizhen can support the tavern, and she, Chen Xueru, is no worse than Xu Huizhen, so why can't she make the silk and satin shop prosperous?
"Oh, your boy is finally getting married. Which girl is she from?" Li Weidong's eyes widened.
"Brothers, don't mention this. When you get married, just toast me with an extra glass of wine." Li Weidong said.
Li Weidong picked up the phone on his desk, shook it for a while, asked the operator to connect to the steel rolling mill, and then explained the details of the transaction.
Li Weidong nodded: "Let me introduce myself first. I am Li Weidong, the owner of the poverty alleviation workshop of the steel rolling mill."
Shan Xiaolin chuckled and scratched his head: "Her family lives in the front yard of your courtyard house, opposite Yanbu Gui's house. Her old man's name is Zhang Er Lengzi, and he is a butcher in the slaughterhouse. You should have met her."
In order to make ends meet, she occasionally helped her neighbors sew clothes, but her craftsmanship was terrible and she often put the buttons in the wrong place.
When Li Weidong rode his bicycle to Xueru Silk and Satin Store, he happened to see a plump middle-aged woman walking out of it angrily.
I once picked up Yan Bugui with one hand.
The neighbors would not ask her to sew clothes unless they saw that her family was living a difficult life!
Making work clothes is a big deal, and you definitely don’t have to worry about it.
Oh, this is Chen Xueru, she is really exciting.
A crisp voice came from the cubicle behind.
She also wanted to close the silk shop and find a formal job again.
Her waist is about as thick as a bucket, and her butt is also very big. From the first glance, she looks like she is fertile.
In the original work, Chen Xueru's husband was messing around outside and had another woman. Chen Xueru was a strong woman, so she naturally could not tolerate betrayal, so she and her husband had a heated argument, and finally divorced.
"Okay! Don't worry."
After Shan Xiaolin drove away, Li Weidong said goodbye to Zhang Xingmin, got on his bicycle and left the Fifth Cotton Mill.
Chen Xueru is still a young widow and has good skills, so she is suitable for taking on this important task.
The person who came to deliver the goods was Shan Xiaolin. Seeing that Li Weidong was also there, he was particularly enthusiastic and jumped out of the truck as soon as the car stopped. "Weidong, I just came back from a long trip. I heard that you are here to deliver goods, so I
I hurried back in a hurry, I didn't waste any time."
"Yes, I am Li Weidong."
Zhang Xingmin said: "Weidong, the cloth is in the warehouse now. You can take it back right away."
Girls like Shirley Yang are not popular at all.
The middle-aged woman got on the bicycle, and her fat body crushed the bicycle.
After Zhang Xingmin led people to count the number, he took the truck to the logistics department warehouse and asked the workers to move the cloth piled in the corner onto the truck.
But when they saw the accident case that Li Weidong spent a lot of effort on, looking at the messed-up trucks in the case, and looking at the driver's family members crying and crying, they were speechless. That's it.
Preventing fatigue driving has become a mandatory requirement for the rolling mill truck fleet.
The Zhang family focuses on living their own small life and has no sense of presence in the courtyard.
besides.
The two of them were talking while the workpieces on the truck were unloaded.
"You are indeed good-looking. No wonder Xu Huizhen's little slut likes you. For you, Sister Zhang from the sub-district office introduced her to a cadre from the sub-district office, but she rejected them all."
The middle-aged woman kept chattering: "It's true, Chen Xueru, we have been friends for many years. You don't give in at all. Do you still want to do business?"
"Zhang Chunhua" Li Weidong raised his eyebrows. He felt that the name was a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember it.
Forty-seven pieces of cloth filled half a truck.
Then Chen Xueru walked out of the back room wearing an emerald green cheongsam, silver earrings, wavy hair, and a charming smile on her face.
Chen Xueru was about to enter the door when she saw a burly young man standing aside pushing a bicycle, and thought to herself: This young man is really good-looking.
"Okay, I'll wait here."
Li Weidong knew two tailors, one was Liang Ladi from the machinery factory, who was Da Mao's mother.
Chen Xueru also knows that fewer and fewer people dare to wear satin clothes, and her store will become famous sooner or later.
Hiss, whoosh.
Shan Xiaolin lit up the cigarette, took two deep puffs, became a little more energetic, and said with a smile: "I was about to tell you that I have a girlfriend. Isn't that why I work so hard to get married?"
Li Weidong put down the phone and went through the procedures with Zhang Xingmin. Although the transaction was carried out secretly, the necessary procedures were still necessary. If the higher-ups were to track it down, there would be a reason to explain.
"Zhang Chunhua from the packaging workshop of the thermos bottle factory affiliated to our factory." Shan Xiaolin, an old driver, was a little shy when he mentioned his girlfriend.
However, she just regarded him as a passerby and didn't care. She smiled at Li Weidong, turned around and returned to the store.
"Big business?"
Her silk and satin shop is considered an old one. It was passed down from her father's generation. In recent years, the business has gradually become deserted.
Director Yang's voice came from the other side of the phone: "This result is already very good. That old Zhang is a cunning old man. It is rare for us to take advantage of him. I will ask Niu Yong to arrange a truck to deliver the workpiece and pull the cloth by the way."
return."
Every frown and every smile is breathtaking, and her eyebrows are full of the charm of a mature woman.
Her attitude suddenly became warm, she held Li Weidong's arm and asked him to sit down, and then made some good tea.
"Comrade Weidong, my name is Chen Xueru. My situation is similar to that of Xu Huizhen. I usually admire you workshop directors the most. Come, please have tea."
Her slender white hands held up the teacup, her eyes were charming, her lips were smiling, and her aura was even more charming and enchanting.
Li Weidong reached out to take the teacup, brought it to his lips and took a sip.
