This afternoon, Hong Yanwu and the others' study mission was to visit various workshops.
Letting employees understand the hard work of each position is also a beneficial part of the factory's cohesion.
So after Hong Yanwu and the others saw with great interest the soda filling process and the production process of various cans, the day basically passed.
Next, we went to collect various labor insurance items. Before leaving, of course, no one forgot to take a bath in the bathhouse.
After taking a day off and returning to work, the training content for the six of them changed to practical operations, and they went to various workshops to help.
Winter is the off-season for cold drinks, so the cold food and cold drink workshops and assembly lines are not busy. But this does not mean that the factory is relaxed.
Because there is another very important task in winter, which is to make concentrated orange jam in advance to ensure next year's production volume, and use orange peels to extract orange oil.
The oranges used by "Polar Bear" are not ordinary oranges. They are a kind of red orange called "Dahongpao", which only grows along the 100-kilometer coast of the Three Gorges Basin.
The meat of that thing is hard, so it is rarely eaten raw and is mostly used in cans. However, compared with ordinary oranges, its fragrance is particularly refreshing, not tart or greasy.
In October every year, oranges begin to ripen, and the total output is roughly seven to eight thousand tons. Then they are picked as they ripen. After harvesting, these oranges have to be brought to the capital by train from Wanzhou, Sichuan.
At this time, the "Polar Bear" workers need to peel the oranges by hand first, use a crusher to crush the orange flesh and mature it into orange jam, and then use a high-speed centrifuge to throw out the orange oil in the orange peel.
Orange oil is the most precious part. One ton of oranges can only produce six kilograms of oil. The remaining orange peels will not be wasted. They will then be purchased by major pharmaceutical factories in the capital and made into "orange red pills" for sale to
People in the capital.
The orange peels peeled by the "polar bears" every year can meet about 50% of the raw material needs of major pharmaceutical factories in Beijing, and the remaining remaining parts are purchased and collected from the public.
From this perspective, "Polar Bear" has also made a great contribution to the health of Beijing citizens.
Of course, such a large amount of peeling work cannot be completed by the hundreds of people in the "Second Workshop" that produces soda drinks. Therefore, "Polar Bear" often has to hire hundreds of "seasonal workers" to help.
This was what "temporary workers" were called at that time. Similarly, during summer and autumn, we had to do the same thing for peaches and grapes.
Then there is no doubt that for Hong Yanwu and others, peeling oranges will undoubtedly become the main content of the nine-day labor test.
This time Chen Liquan is really suitable. Didn't he say that he likes to ask about the smell of oranges?
As the oranges were delivered in batches one after another, and as everyone peeled more and more, the entire "Polar Bear" factory area was filled with the fragrant smell of oranges. It was even more smelly than an orange orchard.
Moreover, Chen Liquan has great skills and has developed the "splitting muscles and bones". One person can peel as many oranges as three people. It is simply a human-shaped peeling machine.
Not to mention letting temporary workers misunderstand that they are veteran workers, even senior workers are praised by everyone and feel inferior to themselves.
The workshop director also had the idea of asking for someone from Zhao Honglin, and kept trying to persuade Chen Liquan that it would be better to be a technical worker than to work in the canteen, but how could Chen Liquan be separated from Hong Yanwu? Hehe smiled and refused many times before giving up.
But compared with him, others suffered. The weather in November was quite cold, and my nails felt cold and painful even after a day. After a few days, my fingers felt uncomfortable whenever I saw oranges.
In the end, even Hong Yanwu couldn't stand it anymore. Who told him not to practice Kung Fu, and yet he showed off his talents beyond his capabilities and got a lot of clear oranges from him? Then he deserved it?
But no matter how you say it, their treatment is much better than that of "seasonal workers". It is really hard for them. The work is tiring, they earn little, the management is strict, and the requirements are high.
In turn, since they will be assigned to various important departments in the future, and there are two big recruitment girls, Shui Qing and Lan Zhaodi, here, the workers in the "Second Workshop" are willing to have a good relationship with them.
Not to mention that he would be able to do anything without difficulty. He also took the initiative to bring soda drinks from his lunch box to them.
It's just that the cold weather is so intense that it's not only bright and clear, but also freezing. The feeling is really bitter and happy at the same time.
Shui Qing and Lan Zhaodi are girls, and they are afraid of harming their health, so they will definitely not drink it. Hong Yanwu, Chen Liquan, and Xiao Heping can only taste it briefly. Only Yin Guangming is a bit tasteless.
Hey, drink it cold here. When he got off work, he couldn't forget to ask someone to fill it up and take it home to drink. While peeling the orange, he didn't forget to fill it in his mouth.
This made the workers in the second workshop a little disdainful.
Some people say, "You can eat it but not dry it. If you can't peel it, you haven't eaten enough."
Others said, "It's such a shame that I still work as a security guard. I can take advantage of this. If I don't do it, I will just be a thief."
This made Hong Yanwu and the others lose face, but fortunately they would be on duty soon, and they would be able to stay away from him.
To say it was fast, time passed by in a blink of an eye. Every day, Shuiqing organized labor and was responsible for recording and reporting to Zhao Honglin.
As Chen Liquan and Hong Yanwu bravely shouldered heavy responsibilities, the fruits of their labor were fully recognized by the Second Workshop.
At the end of the training, Shuiqing wrote another summary. After reading it, Zhao Honglin took her to the factory office without changing a single word. The old director was also surprised when he read it. He said it was well organized, comprehensive, and the handwriting was beautiful, and he praised Shuiqing.
She is a talented person. I decided not only to leave the publicity matters to her, but also let her participate in the management of the Communist Youth League.
When the salary was set like this, the director made the decision to move up a level. He made an exception and directly set the salary for Shui Qing at level 24. The salary was 43 yuan. Adding the non-staple food subsidy and the bonus from the factory, it came to more than 70 yuan. This is enough to prove
He valued and affirmed her.
When Shuiqing's family heard about this, of course they were happy.
Aunt Shui exclaimed, "Oh, you who sit in the office have already exceeded your father's salary as soon as you started work. Your father is a level six businessman. Is it so good to be a cadre? No, you earn more than the section chief."
, it’s more than the average worker’s two-month income. Girl, are you right? Don’t let your mother’s joy be in vain..."
Shui Gengsheng quickly showed off. "Tch, what do you know! This is a company with good profits. Besides, Qing'er has a cadre establishment level of 24 since she started working. Who can compare with this? Do you think you can be an apprentice? You can earn one hundred and seventy.
Four bowls of porridge? It must be said that our Qing'er has the ability, which is why the leader values it so much. If we look at it this way, what's wrong with being out of school? It's a blessing in disguise. It's really just that I graduated from college and worked step by step in other units. Everything is added together.
It’s only forty-three and a half dollars, so it’s not the right time yet…”
(Note: At that time, the price of porridge in canteens was two cents a bowl. One hundred and seventy cents for a bowl of porridge was seventeen yuan and eight cents.)
But none of them expected Shui Qing to say it.
"Dad, Mom, you guys are really awesome. If you ask me to remember the well diggers when drinking water, it's better to remember Xiao Wu and Quan Zi."
After hearing this, Shui Gengsheng and Aunt Shui were still happy, but their faces turned a little red.
