Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

The news that the purchasing department of the steel rolling mill was going to Inner Mongolia for purchasing soon spread throughout Ji Siheyuan.

Those who did not work at the Red Star Steel Mill all looked envious.

No matter how much meat those steel mill workers got, at least they had a meal of meat.

Who wouldn’t want to have a bowl of radish and mutton soup in such a cold weather?

Just thinking about the taste makes one drool.

There were even many people who knew that Wang Jianjun was from the purchasing department, and they secretly came to ask Wang Jianjun if he could help buy some meat.

Naturally, Wang Jianjun couldn't agree to it.

He couldn't openly bring back too many things. If he agreed to one company, the other company would be jealous.

It would be better to reject them all.

Three days later, Wang Jianjun went to the steel rolling mill early in the morning to help load the goods.

Inner Mongolia lacks light industrial products and daily necessities. Their beef and mutton are usually exchanged with big cities such as Shanghai, Tianjin, and Beijing for light industrial products and daily necessities.

At this time, most of the goods in the stores in Inner Mongolia come from these three largest municipalities in the country.

The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill would use some of the light industrial products produced by the factory as payment.

When Wang Jianjun arrived, some workers were already loading goods onto the truck.

In addition to him, a group of people from the purchasing department also came.

However, the tasks assigned to this group of people were pitifully small, and they were always slacking off.

A worker who was moving goods looked at Wang Jianjun's clothes and asked curiously:

"Aren't you also from the purchasing department? Why aren't you with those people?"

"I'm in Group 3, and those people are in Group 1."

Although they are all from the purchasing department, those in group one have connections and have a natural sense of superiority. They basically don't look at the people in groups two and three with a clear eye.

One team leader was said to be the nephew of a leader of the meat processing plant, and even Director Wang had to be polite to him.

As for the others, they are either relatives of a leader in the factory or were sent in by leaders of other units through connections.

How could he afford to offend Director Wang?

Naturally, the purchasing team ignored Wang Jianjun, who cut in line temporarily.

Wang Jianjun was too lazy to pay attention to them. There was no need to force oneself into a circle that was not one that he was in.

Wang Jianjun was moving things, and the people from the purchasing group on the other side would glance at him from time to time.

One of them approached the team leader and asked curiously:

"Captain Li, who is this kid? He's from Group 3 and he can go to Inner Mongolia with us."

The team leader is named Li Jun, who is about 25 or 26 years old.

Being able to become a team leader at such a young age is naturally due to his family connections.

He glanced in the direction of Wang Jianjun and said disdainfully:

"He's a lucky guy. It's said that he was the one who brought a few wild boars to the factory. Director Wang really thinks highly of him. I guess he heard about it from somewhere and got this opportunity because he could eat meat in Inner Mongolia."

When the transport team went to Inner Mongolia, the people there would kill a few sheep for entertainment.

Not many people know about this, but everyone is smart. If you tell others about it, you will just cause jealousy.

In Li Jun's opinion, Wang Jianjun probably got a spot by relying on Director Wang's connections.

What he despised the most were people like Wang Jianjun who had no connections or background but loved to get into their circle.

"Okay, tell a few people in the group not to bother with him this time. Just do our own thing."

Wang Jianjun didn't think too much about it. After loading the things, he just found a truck with few people and jumped on it.

The convoy consisted of fifteen trucks.

Some of them were not loaded with anything but people.

A trip to Inner Mongolia is not an easy journey.

A journey of several hundred kilometers would take about three days with the current efficiency of transport trucks.

In order to get there early and return early, the drivers of the transport team have been working day and night these days.

Excluding the time for eating and resting, you have to keep driving as long as you can see the road clearly.

Taking into account the road conditions of this era and the shock absorption effect of the vehicle.

You can imagine how hard the journey was.

After being packed up, more than a dozen trucks set off for Inner Mongolia.

Although several factories joined together for this purchase, they did not set out together.

The steel rolling mill can transfer goods faster, so we left two days in advance.

Those who arrive early have the right to choose first.

Because the departure time was a bit late, the transport team still couldn't reach the Datong transfer station until the early morning.

Driver squad leader Nie Rong looked at the surrounding environment and decided to find an open space to rest first and set off early the next morning.

With so many cars and so many people, safety is guaranteed.

After parking the car on the side of the road, everyone picked up some firewood and made a bonfire on the ground.

There are dry food prepared in the car. You can just boil some water and soften the dry food to make it a meal.

The drivers ate something and then went to sleep in the car. They had to ensure they had enough time to rest if they wanted to drive.

As for night watch, the buyers will take turns to be responsible for it.

"New here, you will be in charge for the first night, and our group will be in charge for the next few days."

Li Jun began to assign tasks.

In fact, this is a bit of bullying for newcomers.

Because in the next few days, you will rarely encounter situations where you have to sleep outdoors.

As long as you arrive in a big city, you can go to a guesthouse to rest with a letter of introduction.

Wang Jianjun didn't care. He wasn't tired or sleepy at the moment, so it was no big deal to stay up all night.

A group of people yawned and went back to the car to sleep.

I'm exhausted after a whole day of driving, so I just want to sleep as long as I can.

Not long after the group of people returned to the car, they heard deafening snoring. A group of people were crowded in the back car and the sound was like thunder.

With this noise, any wild animals would probably be scared away.

Wang Jianjun secretly thought that it was a good thing that he didn't get on the car, because he would have been unable to sleep with such noise.

If someone else takes off their shoes, the smell will probably be enough to kill people.

Turn on scanning to monitor the surrounding environment.

Wang Jianjun took out a large piece of roasted pork from the space.

The barbecue was something he had been cooking in the space over the past few days.

He had already cracked the recipe for the roast venison served at that reception.

It can also be used for roast pigs with some modifications to the recipe.

Re-sear the meat over the fire.

Grease dripped into the fire and crackled.

The air was instantly filled with the aroma of barbecue.

He then cut it into slices with a dagger and took out a bottle of beer and fried peanuts from the space.

A simple midnight snack is ready.

As for the dry food he had just distributed, he did not waste it and threw it directly into the space to feed the pigs.

He picked up a finger-thick piece of roast pork with a dagger and put it into his mouth. The perfect burnt taste satisfied his taste buds greatly.

Eat a piece of meat and take a sip of steaming cold beer.

Wang Jianjun just felt relaxed all over.

Although the weather is cold, you still have to drink soda iced.

At this moment, the fatigue brought by sitting in the car for a whole day disappeared directly.

Wang Jianjun lay on the ground and looked up at the sky.

After leaving Sijiu City, there were more stars in the sky.

If you ignore the deafening snoring beside you, this trip can be considered a good experience.
