Before the crossing, if Fang Dajun was allowed to ride an open-top tractor, it would really be a bit difficult to save face, and if he had to pass through the downtown area, it would be not to mention, most of them would rather get out of the car and walk.

Thirty years later, the average monthly wage in the provincial capital is 3,185, while the average wage in the non-private sector is 3,592, a figure he remembers very clearly, because social insurance is paid according to the base of the average wage, and the average wage in the capital last year was more than 60 yuan.

I'm afraid that the provincial city in Sichuan will be much lower, after all, I don't dare to compare with the capital, so even if the average is 60 yuan, it is estimated that it is inflated. Thirty years later, wages have risen 53 times for ordinary workers, and 59 times for workers like Wang Hongwen.

This is a terrible data, of course, the average salary is generally inflated, because it is taken as an average, and over time, the gap between the rich and the poor will become larger, which makes many people feel that the average salary is being held back.

Fang Dajun's calculation is only according to the general environment, even if it is not fifty times, it is not far behind. Even some industries have risen even more exaggeratedly, and now he hires a craftsman to pack food, and it costs only eight cents a day, at most one dollar. Thirty years later, with less than 150 yuan a day, you are embarrassed to say that you are a big worker on the construction site. There are 100 less, and you can't even hire a small worker.

Now the tractor worth more than 3,000 yuan is undoubtedly a huge amount of money, and the economy and prices will take off at a high speed in 2,000 years, and it is only the early 80s, which is still too early.

Soon the tractor suddenly arrived at the cement factory, and he immediately asked Cao Suhua to help Xiao Xia arrange accommodation, and Li Yulan went out with him for this time. It's all Cao Suhua's temporary logistics work. Well done. Because he is a math teacher, statistics are not a problem at all, and there is no need for Fang Dajun to be replaced.

After that, he beckoned the tailors to stay and eat and walk, these tailors have not yet officially gone to work, but they come to report every day, maybe he has made arrangements, and he has not arranged accommodation. Because I'll be going to the new field soon.

followed the group into the cafeteria, and it was already past the time for the employees to eat.

"Army!" It was Li Yulan's voice.

Fang Dajun saw Li Yulan's somewhat shy look, so he decided to stay tonight, and greeted his brother-in-law before leaving in the afternoon, saying that he might not go home tonight. He had a house in the cement factory, connected to his office, but he had never lived in it before, and the bedding was ready.

"Well, let's arrange for everyone to eat first, there are ten people. A little more hearty. ”

"Okay!" It was Li Yuhong who responded.

With the opening of the canteen in the new field, the canteen has also invited a lot of people. It's a bit strange to be a chef, if you take the family as a unit, most of them are women's cooking skills, but when you have to go to the table, such as table noodles, canteen chefs, etc., they have become mainly men.

It turns out that men are not without culinary talents, but their ideas are shackled, and they feel that housework is a woman's work. In later generations, most of the people who were in charge of the restaurant were men, and female chefs cooked more such as pastries, as well as auxiliary work.

"Yulan, have you eaten? When will you be back in the afternoon? Fang Dajun asked again, the time was almost eight o'clock in the evening, and the night shift personnel had already come to work.

"I came back at almost six o'clock, and I had already eaten." Li Yulan replied sweetly.

Then the group sat down, and the tea was also on the table, which was still the tea he purchased in the city before, and this afternoon when the welfare was sent out, it had a very strong effect, and for a time it led to a large increase in the amount of water in the food group, even if you didn't drink tea before, you want to try it. Of course, there are also people who have saved, and have not opened the package, ready to take it home, such a bag of tea can be said to be not cheap, of course, the most important thing is the problem of face.

Of course, there will be some snacks in the canteen, such as peanuts, tofu or something, Fang Dajun greeted them and brought them up, and also opened two bottles of liquor, so that a few tailors could drink them first. Older women in rural areas actually have the habit of drinking liquor, and it accounts for a large proportion, but not for the sake of drinking, but purely for drinking, perhaps because the beverage market is still blank.

He poured a little himself, drank a little, took out the remaining half a pack of Chinese cigarettes and threw it on the table, let everyone smoke at will, and the smell of hard dishes began to come from the kitchen.

Xiao Yuqin sat next to him obediently, peeling a pine flower preserved egg with a small hand, the local preserved egg is called "gray egg", which can be made by home, the key is to control the amount of alkali, because it is wrapped in grass ash, so the egg yolk will be black, and the middle of the egg yolk may be yellow, which will form a mud-like shape. The egg is pale yellow, there are small flowers in the middle, a little like snowflakes, preserved eggs because of the alkalinity is heavier, so it is not recommended to eat more, the local old people are also called "turning over the disease", which means that eating too much is easy to cause the recurrence of old problems.

The preserved eggs of later generations are mostly mixed with yellow mud and chaff, plus alkali, etc., which will be very convenient to make, or directly wrapped in plastic bags, with the required substances, which will lead to a great reduction in taste, and the whole preserved eggs are yellow when peeled out, and the taste is very bleak.

In addition, because the eggs used are relatively poor, duck eggs are generally used to process preserved eggs in the local area, if eggs are used, the egg yolk will be very dry, and the taste is not good.

Duck eggs are generally used to wrap eggs or soak salted eggs in rural areas, and the rest will have a fishy smell whether they are steamed or fried. Eggs, on the other hand, are more suitable for steaming, stir-frying or boiling soups.

The price of a preserved egg is not cheap now, it costs about a dime, not a catty, and an egg only costs four cents.

"Don't eat too much, you've eaten both." Fang Dajun said loudly at this time, don't look at Xiao Yuqin's petite body, but her appetite is quite good, but after a while, two preserved eggs will be eaten. This is freshly peeled, and the ash shell of the grass and trees on the outside must be knocked off first, and the inside is mixed with quicklime, so it will break when it is knocked out, and then the original shell of the duck egg is peeled off.

Rural processing of preserved eggs, can be said to be very ox X, scoop some grass ash from under the hole of the firewood stove, and then scoop some quicklime from the lime jar, if there is no lime at home, it is also simple, scrape some lime powder directly from the wall, and then mix a little alkali, add a little water, stir into mud, and finally wrap the duck eggs, put them for a period of time OK. How long it will be placed, Fang Dajun is not very clear, it is about a month, if the time is not enough, after knocking, it will be watery inside, and it can be drunk, but it is very woody, because the alkalinity is too heavy.

The time of storage depends mainly on the weather, the season, and the different materials used to wrap the eggs, which will lead to a long and short time, which is about 15 to 45 days in Uchikawa.

In fact, it's also simple, I think it's almost there, just pick one and knock it open, so it should be stacked in batches when processing. If you don't do it for too long, it will become super dry and lose its original taste. It is better to consume it within a few months.

"My favorite is eggs." Xiao Yuqin pitifully wanted to catch the third preserved egg, this is still more than 100 preserved eggs packed at home before, and it was just ready to eat in the past two days, she was already hungry, if it wasn't for her mother to count, she would have wanted to eat it secretly.

Fang Dajun smiled bitterly and shook his head, at present, the local way of eating preserved eggs is basically eaten directly after being cracked, and the preserved egg dishes have not yet been formed, such as preserved egg lean porridge, cucumber preserved egg soup, green pepper preserved eggs, etc., which are not popular now.

On the table, just preserved eggs or salted eggs with shells, cut into eight or four petals with a knife, and place them on a plate, this is a dish.

"Okay, then eat this, don't eat it again today." Fang Dajun was relieved, it can be said that he spoiled this little sister-in-law very much, just like spoiling the two younger sisters in the family.

As a result, as soon as Xiao Yuqin caught the third one, she was snatched by Li Yulan, who came over with the dishes, and said, "Don't eat it again, you will secretly take one to eat in the morning." ”

Then he divided the preserved eggs, originally one person took one, Xiao Yuqin ate two, and now there is one missing.

Fang Dajun saw that Xiao Yuqin was about to cry, and hurriedly said: "Yulan, it's okay, little child, I'll give Yuqin my one to eat." "It's a preserved egg on the left and right, and it's only one dollar to eat ten, which is only enough for him to buy half a pack of Chinese cigarettes.

Li Yulan softened at this time, thinking to herself, the army is really used to the third sister, no wonder the little girl likes to stick to him.

At this moment, three people came from outside the door, in addition to Cao Suhua and Xiao Xia, even Jin Chi also came.

Fang Dajun beckoned: "Come here, eat immediately, I'm adding a pair of chopsticks, Jinchi, you are also eating." ”

But he suddenly realized that the atmosphere was a little wrong, first Jin Chi glanced at him, and then Li Yulan glanced back and forth between him and Xiao Xia suspiciously.

Fang Dajun understood what it meant to be red-faced, a beautiful woman was easy to cause misunderstandings wherever she went, so he immediately explained: "Come on, come on, let me introduce you to each other, this is Xiao Xia......"

With his explanation, the atmosphere of the scene immediately improved, and he was also surprised, what is Jin Chi's eyes? Standing up for a good sister, or is there something else? I don't dare to continue thinking about it.

In such an atmosphere, the wine and dishes came up, in Fang Dajun's opinion, these meals can only be regarded as average, but the advantage is that the portion is enough, there are a few hard dishes, and the variety is quite varied, after all, it is winter, and the ingredients are easy to store.

Of course, it is impossible for him to ask for this meal, but the accounts will be counted in the garment factory and reimbursed together when the time comes.

The tailors have seen the benefits of relying on the factory in the past two days, look at this eating and drinking, other people's families can't catch up with the New Year, but they can often eat in the factory, and the director of Xiaofang is also a kind person, whether it is salary or food, he has never been stingy, and he has never treated everyone badly.

As for Xiao Xia, not to mention, where can the food in the school be compared to here, she has not eaten such a good meal for a long time, and the accommodation is also very satisfied, I didn't expect her to have a separate room, I can't help but look at Fang Dajun, this man is like a fan.
