298: Reality
Bell bell bell ...
At noon, with the bell of the cafeteria, everyone began to line up to get food.
The prison canteen in Stanley is the responsibility of the prison administration and is funded by the Welfare Department.
The standard meal, the main meal is 6 Hong Kong dollars, theoretically there are two dishes and one soup, a boiled egg, an orange, and a piece of meat.
In fact, the standard of 2 yuan is not reached, and every day it is boiled cabbage, boiled greens, or stewed mashed potatoes.
Eggs, oranges, meat, there are yes, but they can only be eaten once a week, and they are still the kind of rotten oranges and big fat meat.
Other times you want to eat, hehe, spend money on it.
"Although this is a prison, it is also a small society, and if you have money, you have everything."
"The people who help in the kitchen are all prisoners from Beicang, and their head is called the kitchen boy, and they have some friendship with the warden."
"As long as you have money, you can eat all the delicacies of the mountains and the sea, and the quality of life is no worse than outside."
"Of course, good things have a good price, and the price of the inside is 3 to 10 times higher than the outside."
"A deck of playing cards, sold for two dollars outside, costs twenty inside."
"The better the thing, the more expensive it is, but some soap, toothbrush, chewing gum and other gadgets, just add three or five times."
"Behind them, there are prison guards and prison management, and I heard that it is divided into 3:3:3:1."
"The warden takes 30%, the deputy warden and the supervisors take 30%, the ordinary prison guards take another 30%, and the remaining 10% of the profit is the seller's."
"You may think that you make less money, but in fact, you have a lot of privileges after becoming a prison businessman, and the prison guards are also a little thin, and no one will easily touch you."
The teapot was squatting in prison, and in his company, Lin Yao listened to the rules inside as he walked towards the cafeteria.
When he arrived at the meal, he saw Lin Yao and his party coming, and the prisoners in front of him automatically dispersed, and no one dared to compete with him.
Lin Yao nodded in gratitude, brought the teapot to the delivery port, and asked, "What are you eating today?" ”
"Clear water cabbage, free.
A simple meal, cabbage + eggs, 10 pieces.
Medium meal, cabbage with water + eggs + oranges, 20 pieces.
Deluxe package, clear water cabbage + eggs + oranges + pork belly, 30 pieces.
In addition, there is a special dish today, fried chicken, which costs ten dollars each on a first-come, first-served basis. ”
The person in charge of cooking is the kitchen boy's subordinates, although they are prisoners from Beicang and don't know Lin Yao, but seeing that Lin Yao can cook without queuing, he also understands that he is a boss level figure.
"Thirty dollars, it's cheap!"
Lin Yao glanced at the teapot, a chicken leg rice on the outside costs more than a dozen yuan, and it is normal for it to be more expensive inside.
Seeing Lin Yao's gaze, the teapot whispered: "The inside is different from the outside, there is no financial source after coming in, unless the family sends money every month, otherwise who is willing to eat dozens of yuan every day."
You look at these people, 80 percent of them don't see their families a few times a year, and when they do, they don't necessarily have someone to save money for them.
It's just saving, five hundred or one thousand, no matter how much it is, it's unrealistic.
After I go back, I have to make offerings to the boss and invite my friends to a luxurious meal, and there is not much left after coming and going. ”
Hearing the introduction of the teapot, Lin Yao nodded thoughtfully.
In this, unless you are the boss, don't want to eat a luxurious meal every day.
Even the boss who is almost mixed up has no money to eat like this, so it's good to be able to get the cigarette money out all day long.
Little brothers, mess with you, you have to smoke if it's okay.
The cheapest cigarette on the market on Hong Kong Island is a kind of white cigarette with a very light outer packaging, looking at a white cigarette, and a box only costs two yuan.
But in this, a box of white cigarettes costs 20 yuan, and two packs a day for people who are addicted to smoking may not be enough.
There are dozens of junior brothers under your command, and you will need a few boxes of cigarettes for a walk, and if there is no way to make money, the brothers will eat you up sooner or later.
After all, not everyone is as rich and powerful as Lin Yao, there are loyal subordinates inside and outside, and they still take millions a month.
People like Brother Ji, Bai Fried, and Ghost Qi, if they don't do some small business on weekdays and collect personal safety fees, their lives will be quite tight.
"My name is Lin Yao, you can call me Brother Yao, I'll let the brothers register with you in a while, and they will come over for dinner in the future, everyone is a luxury package, keep my account, you go and ask your boss, can the price be cheaper."
Lin Yao estimated that he now has 73 younger brothers, each of whom is 60 Hong Kong dollars per day, which is 4,003 a day.
He can earn 100,000 yuan a day, and a few thousand yuan is a drizzle for him, anyway, it is two months, instead of picking and searching, it is better to buy a good popularity in it.
There are more than 1,000 prisoners in No. 1 Warehouse, which involves most of the associations in the entire Hong Kong Island.
Leaving everyone with the impression of being impatient and righteous and generous is conducive to improving his popularity on the black road.
"Brother Yao, wait a minute, I'll ask the boss."
The cooker didn't dare to call the shots, so he went back and called the kitchen.
The kitchen boy is a middle-aged man, wearing a white apron and glasses, and he has a strong market atmosphere: "Brother Yao, I don't know how to thank you for being so popular." ”
Lin Yao waved his hand to interrupt him: "Don't talk nonsense, two meals a day at noon and evening, a luxury package for 73 people, how much do you think is appropriate." ”
"Well..."
The kitchen boy calculated that although there were many people in the prison, there were not many people who ate luxury meals, and more than 100 copies were sold every day.
Adding 73 servings per meal is equivalent to doubling his luxury set meal business by tripling his business, and some of his earnings are even more earning from the prison guards above.
"Fifty Hong Kong dollars per person per day, which is equivalent to a luxury package that only sells you 25 yuan, what do you think, Brother Yao?"
After a while, the kitchen boy said a price that he thought was more suitable.
Lin Yao laughed when he heard this, and said coldly: "You are kidding me, your so-called luxury package is just a prison standard package, according to the allocation of the Welfare Department, the two meals in the middle and evening are free."
I don't object to you not giving it to ordinary prisoners, but you can't take me as a big wrongdoer. ”
"What do you say?"
The kitchen boy took retreat as advance, but asked Lin Yao to come out at a price.
Lin Yao lay on the counter and looked at him with a smile: "I know that you are just white gloves, and the people above want to make money, and I don't embarrass you, just 25 yuan a portion according to what you said, but I ask for an extra piece of fried chicken for each serving." ”
"Brother Yao, it's not okay, a piece of fried chicken will cost ten yuan!" The kitchen boy looked a little hesitant.
"Really?"
Lin Yao glanced at the person who was cooking next to him, he just asked for a piece of fried chicken, so he pinched it with his hand and said, "Look at it, where is it worth ten yuan, the chicken with the size of the cigarette box, the cost is more than one piece, I will take your surname!" ”
The supply of non-staple food on Hong Kong Island is all supplied by the hometown.
It was 1984, and the wages of workers in my hometown were only 350 yuan per month, and at the exchange rate of 100 Hong Kong dollars to 28 Tang yuan, the monthly salary was less than 200 Hong Kong dollars.
So a serving of chicken thigh rice, the whole big chicken thigh, with sauce, vegetables, and rice, only costs a dozen yuan.
This kind of frozen chicken is cheaper, hundreds of tons are shipped at a time, and it costs a few dollars per catty of chicken, and this kind of small piece of fried chicken can be cut into more than a dozen slices per catty.
"Brother Yao, you are really an expert, the prices in your hometown are clear, I really can't bluff you."
The kitchen boy was speechless, and whispered: "That's it, I'll count you 25 Hong Kong dollars a piece, plus a piece of fried chicken, but you can't say that to the outside world, you can only say that it is 40 yuan a piece, otherwise it will smash my signboard, do you think it's okay?" ”
"No problem, I'm the most disciplined person, and I won't make it difficult for you."
Lin Yao said this, looked at the people on both sides, and said: "I'll ask my brothers to come over to register the list later, my share, vegetables, eggs, and meat, all have to be doubled, if there are other good things, count me as one, you know what I mean, right?" ”
"Understood, understood."
The kitchen boy heard the song and knew the meaning of the song, and also lowered his voice and replied: "I have beer and soda like this, they are all prepared for the prison guards, and you don't make a noise when you are cooking, I will replace the vegetable soup with beer for you, and give you an extra glass of soda." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.
I only bittered the unlucky guy next to me who was taken away by Lin Yao and didn't dare to ask for it.
