60s: I have a store

Chapter 336 Gifts

Time flies. Today is the last working day of this year. The factory has not arranged any production tasks, but only arranged for all employees to participate in the general cleaning.

After cleaning, you can go and collect your New Year gifts.

This made the employees of the steel plant very happy. They could have a few days off and get a pound of pork and two pounds of peanuts and melon seeds for free, without the need for a ticket.

Therefore, everyone wanted to finish cleaning as soon as possible and then go to collect it.

"I heard that we can distribute so much stuff during the Chinese New Year this time, all thanks to Zhou Yimin who invented a lot of things. The factory's performance is very good, so we were able to apply for so many supplies." A person who was cleaning said.

"Yes! With a pound of pork, plus some meat coupons left over from before, my family can finally eat dumplings. What was distributed last year was not enough to make dumplings. My mother didn't eat any of the dumplings and gave them all to my son." Another person was wiping the machine and chatting.

"I heard that this year's gifts are given equally to everyone. I never thought that one day we would be able to experience the same treatment as senior workers. The gifts distributed this time are the same throughout the factory." The person who was mopping the floor also interrupted the discussion.

The unified gifts for the entire factory this time also have their advantages. Unlike previous years, the gifts for senior workers are much better than those for junior workers, and the quantity is also much better.

However, even if other low-level workers have complaints, there is nothing they can do. Who says they are senior workers? The precision parts in the factory are all processed by others. Without them, the factory would probably not be able to survive.

While cleaning, it was soon noon. The food in the cafeteria was pretty good. There were two meat dishes. Although the amount of meat was not much, it was much better than the usual meals.

Many people plan to pack up the food and share it with their families.

After all, many ordinary workers don’t get to eat much meat all year round, so when they have good food, they usually pack it up and take it home to share with their families.

Everyone’s lunch box is filled to the brim. After lunch, each workshop holds an end-of-year summary meeting.

Look at what we did well this year and what we should continue to do next year. Look at what we did well this year and what we should correct next year.

Now the employees have no time to listen to these things, and all of them go in one ear and out the other.

When the workshop director saw this scene, he knew it would be like this, but it was still his duty to finish the summary.

Of course, he wouldn't talk for too long. If he delayed the workers from receiving their gifts, it would be difficult to carry out work next year.

Therefore, several workshop directors agreed that even if the summary was not finished at 1:30 pm, they had to let employees go to receive their gifts.

As soon as the year-end summary was over, all the employees seemed to have discussed it all year, and some people just rushed out.

Everyone ran straight to the logistics department like the wind.

At the beginning, not many people ran, but everyone was worried that the good pork would have been picked up, so some people couldn't help but run.

Just like that, more and more people started running, until finally all the employees in the factory started running.

Some actions are contagious, like students going to the cafeteria to eat after school.

Thousands of people went to the logistics department to receive their gifts, and in a moment, the entire logistics department was surrounded by people. Only the old masters were left walking leisurely, as if they were not worried at all that the good pork would be taken away.

Someone in the factory has already informed these senior workers that supplies are difficult to obtain now, so everyone's gifts are the same. The good pork has been reserved in advance and will be given priority to the old masters.

This calmed the resentment of the old masters. They also knew that there was indeed a shortage of food there, so they didn't say much.

Master Kong and his companions came to the canteen, which was where the masters received their gifts. The pork here was all purchased by Zhou Yimin. It was all fat, almost all fat, with not much lean meat.

After seeing the pork, Master Kong and his friends stared with delight. They had not eaten such fatty pork for a long time.

How much lard can be squeezed out of such fat pork? I'll add some to cooking in the future. Just thinking about it makes me drool.

Master Kong and his friends saw that almost every piece of pork here was the same, so there was no need to fight over it.

As masters, they also need to maintain a little face. They can't just rush over and grab the vegetables they like like those aunties in the vegetable market, right?
The employee distributing the gifts was very polite when he saw the masters. He just said, "Masters, please line up. Don't worry, there are definitely enough things here."

The old masters received the gifts in an orderly manner, and the workers who were distributing the gifts felt relieved after seeing this.

She was really afraid that the master chefs would also rush over to grab the pork. If there wasn't enough pork to go around, she would be held responsible. She wouldn't know where to find such good pork.

If Director Ding had not repeatedly reminded that the fatty pork could only be distributed to the old masters, the employees of the logistics department would have already divided up all the fat meat.

The situation in the logistics department was not so optimistic. Even the security department was called in to maintain order. There was nothing they could do. There were simply too many people, tens of thousands of them at once.

There were some people who wanted to fish in troubled waters, but they were immediately picked out by the security department and used as an example to scare the monkeys: "You can't cut in line, you have to line up at the back."

"Why?" The man was still very stubborn.

However, two more people from the security department came over and did not give the man a chance to react. They just fought each other and walked to the back of the team.

The security department nowadays is basically composed of retired personnel, so not everyone can resist. That person kept shouting, and the people around him seemed to be watching a show, with no intention of saying anything.

After seeing this scene, the guy realized that resistance was useless, so in order not to be laughed at by others, he immediately shut up.

In order to save his face, he could only remain silent and let the security people carry him to the back of the team.

After seeing this lesson, those who originally wanted to take advantage of the situation immediately put away their little ideas and lined up obediently, fearing that they would end up like this and only get the pork left over by others.

"Fortunately, I didn't cut in line like them." Someone said thankfully.

The guy who was carried out had a good relationship with him and had been planning to drag him to cut in line, but he didn't dare to make trouble.

In order to allow employees to receive their gifts quickly, the logistics department divided the collection point into more than a dozen collection points. However, due to the large number of people, long queues formed at each collection point.
