Chapter 13: Bets
Chen An'an took the peeler and started to work, but it was obviously as she expected, such a simple peeler.
It can be said that it is the most inconvenient weapon in history.
The apples are not rounded, and there are even pits in some places, and it is difficult to clean the peeler after being plugged in by those skins from time to time.
Chen An'an's palm had been sharpened all morning because of the force, and by the time he took a break at noon, the palm of his hand had already ground up blisters.
Those blistered places hurt when you touch them.
Chen Anan stared at the blisters in his hands, sat on the bench and looked at the apples in his bucket.
After holding on all morning, the barrel did not even fill half a bucket of apples.
Cuifen's sister-in-law, who was sitting on the side, took out her lunch box, they were all temporary workers and couldn't go to the cafeteria to eat.
At noon, I bring my own rice, but there is an advantage, the lunch box can be placed in the rice steamer in the boiler room, and it will be heated when it is time to eat.
deliberately brought Chen An'an's food, and I knew that Chen Anan couldn't cook, except for cooking noodles, probably Xiao Chen couldn't do any tricks.
So she deliberately brought two more steamed buns and some dishes.
handed the extra lunch box to Chen An'an, and glanced at the apples in Chen An'an's bucket.
The corners of Cuifen's sister-in-law's mouth twitched, there was really no way, if anyone saw this miserable apple, it was estimated that they would have the same idea as themselves.
Chen Anan took the lunch box, and the lunch box touched the blisters in her palm, and she gasped in pain.
"Shhh
"What's wrong? Is there a blister in the palm of your hand? ”
Cui Yufen's sister-in-law knew this process at a glance, and they had all experienced it.
All temporary workers who peel the skin have this experience, and when the blisters on their hands burst, they will slowly grind into cocoons, and then they will scab over and eventually become calluses, and then there will be no such suffering.
But there must have been a process in the beginning.
Chen Anan put the lunch box aside, stretched out his hands and looked at the transparent blisters in his palms.
"Sister-in-law, is this the only peeler we have? Don't have any other peelers? ”
Chen Anan has never encountered such a primitive mechanical work in his life, and this peeler can only be barely called a peeler.
In fact, its peeling function has been greatly diminished.
The most important thing is that not only the thickness of the peeled skin is very thick, but also causes serious physical harm to the user.
She can accept hard work, but this hard work needs to produce efficiency, which is not only inefficient, but also obviously not something that she can do by relying on her own intelligence.
What's more, this kind of repetitive and untechnical work greatly slows down efficiency.
"What more peeler do you want?" We've got peelers like this here, what do you want for an eggshell peeler?
People do it all by themselves when they go home and let their men do it, or you wait for Captain Fu to come back, you discuss with Captain Fu and ask him to get one for you.
My man didn't get it for me anyway, and he said that the peeler for the shell had to be found by chance.
Not every single one of them can be made. ”
"We don't have any other way, like getting a machine to fix the apples on them and then peeling them by hand, which will speed up the speed and save time."
Chen An'an said according to the peeler in her memory, she had seen this thing.
Whether it's primitive or electric, I've seen it and visited a museum.
If it's electric, she doesn't necessarily have that design ability, but it's still very simple to make a manual mechanical one.
Chen Anan has even seen a video of making a fully automatic peeler, but that requires a mechanical motor.
If there is no mechanical motor, as long as you can find a suitable bearing for the production of the shaft, in fact, a manual peeler is far more powerful than the current one.
"What are you talking about? I've never heard of it, let me tell you, that's what our canning factories do here, and I've never heard of what you said. ”
"Is that thing you talking about only in factories in big cities? Also, after all, you are from the city, and your knowledge must be better than ours. But we don't really have that stuff here. ”
Cuifen's sister-in-law opened the lunch box and ate quickly, and saw Chen An'an sitting there still motionless and stunned, and hurriedly said.
"Hurry up and eat, we only have half an hour to eat at noon, and we have to hurry up when we finish eating."
At your speed, you will definitely not be able to finish the 100 pounds today. ”
200 catties is the minimum standard, and Cuifen's sister-in-law can generally work 300 catties a day.
That's 1 dollar 5, and she earns more than a worker in a processing plant a month.
When Chen Anan heard this, he had no choice but to open the lunch box and eat the two steamed buns and pickles in silence.
By the time he continued to peel apples in the afternoon, Chen Anan was already a little overwhelmed, and the blisters in his hands had finally worn out.
By the end of the day, Chen An'an's work had almost reached the point where life was worse than death.
The palm hurts, and I can't even hold the paring knife.
When it's time to get off work, everyone else sends the bucket to be weighed.
When Chen An'an's bucket was placed on the scale, all the temporary workers who were queuing up to weigh him couldn't help but glance at Chen An'an, and their eyes were full of ridicule and ridicule.
"Hey, this is still Captain Fu's daughter-in-law. At first glance, it is that the people in the city are delicate and expensive, and they can't even do such a simple job. ”
"How else do you say that people are from the city?"
"What's wrong with the people in the city? It's not the same as the life of the young lady's body, and she will do this temporary job like us. ”
"Oh, be quiet."
"What do I have to whisper, Captain Fu hasn't come back for so long, obviously avoiding his daughter-in-law."
"His daughter-in-law, at first glance, is the young lady in the city. What are you doing, I've heard that you can't cook. ”
"The first time I cooked, I almost set my house on fire."
"What's going on?"
"The steamed buns made in the back put several people in our team into the health team."
"Really!"
"Look at the apples in that bucket, they've been sitting there for a day, grinding and grinding, and it's the same speed as a snail."
"In the end, I didn't even have enough apples for a bucket."
"She's still here as a temporary worker, and people aren't the ones who do this."
"Look at it, I bet that in less than three days, the captain's daughter-in-law will definitely quit."
"Okay, I'll bet you, we won't have enough eggs for two eggs."
"I'm betting that the captain's daughter-in-law can last three days."
"Oh, then I'll bet too."
"I'll make an egg."
"I also made an egg bet, and the captain's daughter-in-law couldn't hold out for three days."
"I'm betting, I'm betting."
