Small trinkets, small toys, plastic basins, thermos bottles, etc. are all needed in daily life.
Of course, the best-selling products here are plastic basins and thermal thermos bottles.
Ever since a worker ate crabs and was the first to buy a thermos, this kind of water bottle that can keep people warm for a day or two has become a rare display item in the workers' homes.
Many people hang out at each other's homes just to take a look at this magical water bottle that is said to be able to keep people warm for two days.
Wang Fuyu walked around the supermarket and didn't know what to buy.
The waiter next to him immediately stepped forward and introduced him: "Sir, this is our latest silver mirror. Buy one for the little girl at home. It is very useful. Here is a thermos bottle, which can keep the temperature warm for more than two days.
This is a plastic washbasin, which is lightweight and does not leak. Here is frozen sea fish..."
Well, the cheapest product in this supermarket is frozen sea fish.
Since fishing boats go out to sea every day to catch fish, the canteen cannot completely process the fish they catch. During this time, the cold storage in the dock area was almost full of fish.
Under such circumstances, in addition to adding more fish meat to the lunches of naturalized migrant workers, more marine fish can only be sold in supermarkets at extremely low prices. One copper coin can buy five kilograms.
Although Wang Fuyu said that there was no shortage of sea fish in his usual work meals, he thought about his wife and children who had not eaten much meat. As soon as he gritted his teeth, he took out two copper coins and bought ten kilograms of frozen sea fish.
In addition, he also bought a thermos, a plastic basin, soap, a small silver mirror, etc. under the guidance of the waiter.
Among them, the most expensive ones are thermos bottles and plastic basins. Because these two products cannot be produced in the dock area yet, they are just to promote the lifestyle in the dock area so that naturalized migrant workers can drink more hot water and wash their faces more.
bath.
After such a squandering, Wang Fuyu left the supermarket in a daze, carrying large and small bags, and walked towards home.
Qingshan Village, where Wang Fuyu lives, was one of the first villages to come into contact with the dock area, and it was also the closest village to the dock area.
Therefore, Wang Fuyu didn't even take the shuttle bus running in the dock area, and walked more than two kilometers back to Qingshan Village.
"Father is back!"
A little boy about 6 or 7 years old was lying on the threshold. When he saw Wang Fuyu coming back, he immediately jumped up like a monkey and rushed towards Wang Fuyu.
"Have Rui'er been obedient at home during this period?"
Wang Fuyu smiled and took out a lollipop from the package and stuffed it into his son's mouth.
Rui'er's eyes suddenly lit up. This was the first time for him to eat such sweet food. In the past, he could only eat a little maltose during the Chinese New Year.
After all, Wang Fuyu used to be a tenant farmer, helping the landlord's family farm in the village. After a year of hard work, the family could not even fill their stomachs, let alone enjoy other things.
Wang Fuyu's wife Chunhua looked at Wang Fuyu in surprise as he placed the bags on the table.
"Chunhua, this is the silver mirror I bought specially for you. It will be more convenient for you to dress up in the future."
Wang Fuyu proudly handed the small silver mirror to Chunhua. Since the two got married, this was the first time Wang Fuyu bought something for his wife, but Chunhua complained for a while that she wasted money.
But having said that, complaints are complaints. When the lights were turned off at night, Chunhua's initiative and enthusiasm made Wang Fuyu feel that the little silver mirror he bought was not in vain.
It has to be said that at dinner time, the aroma wafting out of Wang Fuyu's house made several nearby neighbors envious and regretful.
Of the ten kilograms of sea fish, the budget-conscious Chunhua didn't cook it all in one meal, but divided most of it into marinades. In this way, she wouldn't have to worry about meat in the coming week.
The next day, after Wang Fuyu went to work, the aunts from several nearby neighbors came to the door as if they had smelled the smell.
Chunhua, who used to be low-key and cautious in the village, was extremely bold this time and introduced the household items Wang Fuyu bought to her neighbors.
A hot water bottle that can keep heat for several days, a mirror that can reflect the hair on your face, a plastic basin that is ten times lighter and easier to use than a wooden basin, etc.
This made all the aunts and uncles in the neighborhood feel envious and jealous.
If I had known that working for Kun Thief could earn such a high income and buy so many new gadgets, would my own man be worse than Wang Fuyu?
So after the aunties from these neighbors came home, they immediately urged their men to apply for jobs in the dock area.
Well, Chen Liuxiang, who is now in charge of business, did not expect that the New Life Promotion Plan he was responsible for would achieve such success.
In just one week, more than 2,000 villagers were attracted from all directions.
The ever-increasing number of applicants has also given the Provisional Management Committee ample manpower for a series of plans formulated.
After receiving the news that the westbound fleet had arrived in Hongji, Cochin, and had set up a temporary base ashore, the interim management committee immediately began to advance the Shilu iron ore mining plan!
But problems soon arose.
The straight-line distance between the wharf area and Shilu Iron Mine is 156 kilometers. If you go by land, you will have to pass through Lingao, Zhanzhou and other places. These places are all Mingzhan areas. If you want to go there safely, basically
It's impossible.
If you take the sea route, you need to walk 200 kilometers by sea to Changhua, then go up the Changhua River for more than 30 kilometers, and disembark eight kilometers away from Shilu.
In this case, it would be more convenient, but you would still be threatened by the Ming Navy on the way.
Moreover, troops must be stationed in the Changhua area to ensure safety near the river mouth.
Zheng Xiangdong pulled Sun Xuebin down on the map and studied it for several days.
To be precise, the garrison in Guangchanghua and Shilu requires at least 500 people.
This gives people a bit of a headache.
Although the second batch of new recruits is being trained, by the time they are fully trained, there will only be about 500 of them.
The most important thing is that more than 200 of these new recruits are from the navy!
Sun Xuebin planned to ask Fang Xiaoyue, the boss of the industrial group, to repair some damaged small fishing boats and freighters and initially use them as naval vessels.
No way, given the current situation of the dock area, it is impossible to build a shipyard in a short time, so we can only tap the potential from the existing inventory.
What's more, the navy has a century-old saying that if the navy is built as early as possible, it can form combat effectiveness as early as possible.
You must know that in two or three years, the Qing army will sweep down. By then there will be no reliable navy, and the Qing army will cross the sea immediately. It will be a bit difficult for this dock area to avoid the pain of war.
