Chapter 202: The Crooked Ass of the Youth Daily
Youth Newspaper, 2nd Floor Editorial Department.
Mu Qingmei held a cup of iced honey five-flower tea, walked to the window facing the street and pretended to look at the scenery, but in fact she was signaling to Rong Yao downstairs.
Rong Yao, who was wearing a headscarf, was pushing a ghost cart downstairs, selling 'Dongyang skewers'. The so-called Dongyang skewers are skewers of various vegetarian dishes and fish into small skewers, put them in a pot sprinkled with spices and thick soup and boil, three skewers for one dollar, which is very affordable, and even poor people can afford to eat.
As the main trading port in the East China Sea, many spices in Xuanzhu County are not expensive, and the extremely lucrative industry of spices is the key business project of the Silver Blood Society, so the spices that need to be bought at a high price in the inland can also be easily purchased by the poor families of Xuanzhu County, and even develop prosperous restaurants as a result.
The wooden skewers used for the skewers are all cut out of rotten wood, and there is a bucket next to the ghost trolley, which is convenient for diners to put the wooden skewers back after eating, and wash them after returning home to continue to use them.
The cost of selling skewers is not high, and Rong Yao just wanted to find an industry suitable for walking the streets and alleys.
However, there are all walks of life inside the White Night.
The uncle helped him find a low-cost source.
This aunt taught him how to cook a delicious soup base.
The big brother Scar helped him find the gangster for protection.
Many of the problems that ordinary people need to face, Rong Yao has almost solved them.
It's hard to say anything else, but Rong Yao, who has the support of Bai Ye, wants to do catering, so it's like Wang Bang started with a dragon slaying knife at the beginning, and it was soon booming. Not only was he able to sell skewers to make a living, but it didn't take long for him to repay the start-up capital that Mu Qingmei lent him.
Of course, part of the reason why he can sell well is because of his appearance - even if he has tried his best to make himself ugly, there are still many little sisters, sisters and aunts who talk to him when they buy skewers, and even a rich woman says to him, 'Don't work hard, come home with me, I eat your skewers every day'.
At least two-thirds of the skewers he sells are consumed by female customers.
If it is scattered, it must be good-looking to sell skewers.
Just when Mu Qingmei was looking for Rong Yao to say the code, Rong Yao was being pestered by a little sister to chat.
At this time, there were patrol guards patrolling at the corner of the street, and the other stalls hurriedly left, but Rong Yao was dragged into the shop behind by his little sister and escaped.
Walking ghosts and walking ghosts means 'ghosts come and go quickly', and the same meaning is 'walking in the water' and 'walking in the fire'.
And this ghost, of course, refers to the patrol guard.
Because most of the shops are under the command of the Silver Blood Society, the patrol guards rarely provoke them, but like this kind of ghost stall, it is the object of their demand, and it is light to take something from you, and it is not uncommon to find a guy who deducts your meal from the head and force you to pay the 'management fee', so the ghost stall will quickly run away when they see the patrol guard coming.
Originally, Rong Yao also had to run, but he actually hooked up with the pretty widow and his little daughter in the tailor shop opposite the newspaper office, and when the patrol guard came, he drilled into the tailor's shop, and he was at ease, compared with other ghost hawkers, he was like a kryptonite emperor.
Confirming that Rong Yao was still below, Mu Qingmei returned to the workstation and took a sip of five-flower tea.
It's very sweet and icy, Mu Qingmei actually doesn't like to drink it, and I don't know why Jing Zhengwei likes it so much.
But this is the only free drink provided by the newspaper, and other than that, it is water, and Mu Qingmei would rather drink five-flower tea.
In the words of Mr. Shuren in "Echoes of the Future", it is: you exchange your work for the wages of the capitalists, this is not called taking advantage of the capitalists, this is a normal transaction.
And the capitalist will surely get more surplus labor value out of your labour.
After all, it is the capitalists who take advantage of you.
However, if you are lazy during working hours, you are soaking the wool of the capitalists.
Mu Qingmei likes this description very much, so she tries her best to be lazy when she goes to work, and the toilet is more than a dozen times, and she enjoys all the benefits given by the newspaper.
She is not trying to take advantage, she is as the broad masses of the people, as a white night walker, to launch a righteous struggle against the capitalist Jing Zhengwei!
Mu Qingmei continued to go to work, because her first draft passed the green light all the way, so she didn't have to continue to revise the draft, but the capitalists obviously wouldn't support her in vain.
She is responsible for reading readers' letters, taking the 'most extreme', 'most incredible' and 'most leaky' remarks from them, and then refuting them to the sharpest editors in preparation for the next discussion page of Youth Daily.
Originally, there were many cultural people who claimed to be 'elegant' and 'sunny and snowy' who disdained to read "Youth Daily", but the discussion board broke the last line of defense in their hearts.
They want to see what kind of crooked remarks the Youth Daily is going to use to block the mouths of people all over the world, and they want to find the loopholes of the Youth Daily and write a letter to refute this vulgar newspaper!
Browsing through the letters from readers, Mu Qingmei suddenly found that the wind direction had changed a little recently.
If the previous letters were mainly discussed or insulted in the sections of 'Astringent Cover', 'Knowledge Discussion Area', 'Wonderful Interesting Stories', and 'Inspirational Stories', then the letters in the past two weeks have gradually begun to discuss 'future echoes'.
At first, everyone in the newspaper thought that this article was just an addition, but after several issues of serialization, it gradually bloomed with brilliance beyond the times.
High school student Liuyu has to go through the 'National Unified Examination for Admission to Ordinary Colleges and Universities', to learn the 'Theory of Surplus Value', and to learn that the reason for the change of history is 'land annexation', as if he is not studying by himself, but with all the readers to study together;
When he was looking for a job, he knew that there was a 'minimum wage', an 'eight-hour work system', a 'labor arbitration', and a society that showed that although there were defects, the state tried its best to protect the proletarian workers in all aspects;
The offender Wei Zheng has been beaten, never enjoyed, stole an electric car, and sat in a detention center, so he tried one by one when he wrote in the criminal law that was suitable for mixing money, but he was soon wanted by the public security organs.
If the previous issues of "Echoes of the Future" were just for readers to have fun, then the chapters after the perspectives of the three protagonists in these issues were fully unfolded, so that some readers who just wanted to have fun felt the author's grand ambition.
"Without capitalists, workers can only starve to death"
"The eight-hour workday will only shut down the vast majority of chambers of commerce"
"Abolishing Child Labor Sets the Economy Back"
"Buying land is a normal business practice"
"Gangs are part of order"
Mu Qingmei looked at these letters, and her worries became heavier and heavier.
These letters are no longer just useless cries sent by poor literati. Behind that 'absurd' text is the will of a powerful and powerful person.
Rao is Mu Qingmei, and she now also feels that something is wrong with "Youth Daily".
She is also vaguely aware of the ass of "Youth Daily...... Seems a bit crooked.
