On the morning of 12 May, the county commercial system held a mobilization meeting on "increasing production and saving", the theme of this meeting was to study the Central Economic Commission held a telephone conference on 6 May to determine "mobilize the industrial transportation front, set off a mass movement to increase production and save money, and ensure the completion and over-completion of various plans in the first half of the year", "to lay a good foundation for the smooth realization of the task of adjustment, reform, rectification, and improvement of the national economy", and to follow the relevant meeting arrangements of provinces, cities and counties, and mobilize the county commercial system to fully cooperate with the industrial and transportation system. Within the system, it has also set off a "production increase and saving" movement.

Previously, the county had convened a special meeting of members of the industry, transportation, commerce, agriculture and forestry systems, but this time it was an internal meeting of the commercial system, and a meeting notice had been issued.

The county supply and marketing cooperatives held an internal meeting for this purpose to prepare for mobilization, and Peng Dayong specially prepared some materials and made a speech on behalf of the meeting.

His speech did not contain any substantive content, but it sounded impassioned and loud, and it was more imposing than the previous units.

After the speech, Peng Dayong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but unexpectedly, Huang Ruhan, the leader in charge of the meeting, deputy director of the county revolutionary committee, and director of the commerce and trade committee, suddenly interrupted the normal agenda of the meeting, knocked on the table and said: "Several units spoke just now, and it sounded like the tone was very high, but there was no mention of how to do it. ”

"To increase production and save, the industrial and transportation system is the main body, and we must fully cooperate, but in the current situation, the shortage of materials, our commercial system should also give full play to the subjective initiative to guide and even organize industrial and agricultural production. We also have a tradition of engaging in production in the commercial system, especially those commodities that are in short supply, and the industrial system cannot produce them, so we can also do them ourselves. ”

"Director Yuan, do you think that's the case?" Huang Ruhan turned to the side and said to Yuan Shixiong, secretary of the county party committee and director of the Revolutionary Committee, next to him.

Yuan Shixiong nodded: "Well, today's meeting is to hope that the county commercial system can also be mobilized, make use of its own advantages, organize industrial and agricultural production, and meet the production and living needs of the people." ”

Everyone was pondering the meaning of the words of the two county leaders, and suddenly heard Huang Ruhan call the name of the county supply and marketing cooperative: "Peng Dashan, Shen Jianguo, I heard that your supply and marketing cooperatives are engaged in soap?" That's good, how are you going? ”

Huang Ruhan is an old revolutionary, with an efficient and direct work style, and he asked Peng Dashan and Shen Jianguo to look at each other, and they didn't know how the news was known by Huang Ruhan.

Shen Jianguo is okay, Peng Dashan has heard about it, but he doesn't know anything about the specific details, and even thought about seeing Shen Jianguo's jokes, so he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Shen Jianguo at this time.

The eyes of more than 20 people from more than a dozen units in the county's commercial system also fell on Peng Dashan and Shen Jianguo.

Shen Jianguo hurriedly cleared his throat and said concisely: "Yes, Secretary Yuan and Director Huang have always asked us that the supply and marketing cooperatives should take the initiative to find ways to meet the needs of the people. A few days ago, a woman took a soap ticket she picked up and went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy soap, but the people in the store saw through it and sent it to the police station. ”

"Then we wondered, what is the reason for our people to ignore that soap ticket? Buying things with soap tickets also costs money. After our research, we found that the reason is that there is a shortage of soap, and people can't buy soap even if they have money, so they do that. ”

"We just want to try to do something, and we are still experimenting, and if it goes well, we will have results soon, and if the trial is successful, we will organize formal production." Shen Jianguo made the cause and effect of the matter very clear, and he was also worried about the failure of making soap, and the above could understand their motivation for doing this project, and he would not be held accountable for the failure.

He also did not expect that a small experimental project happened to come across the national surname of the "increase production and save" movement, and it would attract the attention of Huang Ruhan, who was eager to set a model and make achievements.

"Okay, that's good, just take the initiative and do it boldly, I'll wait for your good news."

After the meeting ended, Peng Dashan and Shen Jianguo finally got rid of the questioning and greetings of the responsible persons of other units, got on their bicycles, and hurried back.

On the way, Peng Dashan said eagerly: "Jianguo, is there a spectrum in this matter?" Now that Secretary Yuan and Director Huang know, and the brother units also know, if we can't do it, then we will become a joke in the county. ”

Shen Jianguo shook his head with a wry smile while pedaling the car: "How did I know that the matter would be so big and spread to Director Huang?" Song Qiong's kid was choked by Wang Yaolin, and I don't know if he gave up, but I also asked some old people in the past two days, and that kid didn't talk nonsense, the old district did make soil soap back then, I think as long as we make up our minds, we can still make it, and it can't be worse than back then? ”

Peng Dashan frowned: "Hey, I hope so!" ”

Immediately said: "It's all Wang Yaolin, otherwise there would already be results?" ”

Zhongling County is very small, Peng Dashan and Shen Jianguo rode their bikes, and soon saw the county supply and marketing cooperative, and a large group of people gathered at the door.

What's wrong? The two of them were startled, and hurriedly kicked a few more times, but before they got close, they heard Song Qiong's loud voice: "Everyone listen, this is called laundry soap, which can only be used to wash clothes, not bathing, not washing hair, and not washing ...... face."

"Laundry soap? Soap made successfully? Shen Jianguo grabbed someone and asked.

The man looked back and saw that it was the director and deputy director of the supply and marketing cooperative, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Yes, it's done, I think it's similar to the soap on the shelf, but Xiao Song said that he can only wash clothes, not take a bath, otherwise it will be itchy, and I don't know if it's really ......."

"Song Qiong, what the hell are you doing?"

Before the man's words were finished, behind the crowd, on the stairs down the second floor, there was a sudden loud shout, and Wang Yaolin, the head of the business unit, accompanied by several people, strode down the stairs.

Wang Yaolin glanced at the soap in Song Qiong's hand with disdain: "This is what you made?" No, how do you do it without materials? I think it was made with ready-made soap, and it was melted and pressed, right? ”

"You're deceiving the organization." Wang Yaolin shouted.

Since Wang Yaolin repeatedly mentioned the theft case that had been proven to have nothing to do with Song Wengen, Song Qiong no longer had any good feelings about this person, and immediately ridiculed him: "Chief Wang, you are laughing, I know that you are very powerful, you can buy as much soap as you want, we ordinary people, we can't buy so much." ”

"Don't say ten yuan, it's two yuan, it's not even easy to buy one, where do you think I can buy so much soap?"

Song Qiong lifted the basket on his hand. A small bucket of tung oil, and finally twenty-three bars of soap, all in a basket.

When Wang Yaolin saw the soap in the basket, his long face suddenly turned black.

Song Qiong said well, soap is a scarce material, so much soap is not something that ordinary people can buy.

"Hmph, how do I know how you got it, don't take it from the warehouse again, right?" Wang Yaolin bit the word "take" very hard.

Song Qiong's face changed, and he looked at Wang Yaolin coldly: "Chief Wang, please pay attention, don't slander, how did I get these soaps, Tang Sheng, Huang Qi, and the people of Shaxi Supply and Marketing Cooperatives can prove that this is boiled with tung oil." ”

Huang Qi nodded: "Well, I can testify to this." ”

"It's really made of tung oil." Tang Sheng also said.

Wang Yaolin glared at Tang Sheng fiercely, and his face became even more ugly.

Song Qiong sneered twice: "Chief Wang, don't forget what you said, you said that if you make soap, you will eat it, now, should you eat these soaps?" ”

Someone next to him coaxed: "Chief Wang, you said that if Xiao Song made soap, you would eat it." ”

"Haha!"

The great turmoil has just ended, and cadres like Wang Yaolin basically have no authority at all below, except for the people in the business unit who are the leaders, no one else will be afraid of him.

"With so much soap, I can eat several meals."

"I think, don't embarrass the prince, just eat a piece, just eat a piece."

"That's right, when Chief Wang is the leader, he can't talk and don't eat a piece, right?"

Wang Yaolin was trembling with anger, his eyes stared at Song Qiong, and he waved his hand suddenly: "No, we said at the time, you have to use oil to make soap, I will eat it, this soap is made of oil?" ”

"Yes, it's made of tung oil and flaxseed oil." Tang Sheng said beside him.

Wang Yaolin glared at Tang Sheng in annoyance, suddenly snatched a piece of soap from Song Qiong's hand, and bit it when he opened his mouth.

Wang Yaolin thought that since soap was made of oil, there was nothing to eat, speaking of which, he still earned, and oil was a good thing.

He forgot, and may not know, that the chemical reaction will cause the fundamental change of the substance, even if the raw material is oil, it is no longer fat.

Wang Yaolin took a big bite of soap, glared at Song Qiong and the others demonstratively, then hiccuped, his eyes widened suddenly, he covered his mouth and rushed to the corner, spitting up.

Soap and water can be used to wash the stomach, let alone soap bars?
