Phi-Fic Chapter 292 Canteen Reform
Chapter 292 Canteen Reform
After everyone had expressed their opinions, Zhou Chuanyi said, "Since everyone agrees that the cafeteria should be reformed, we will start implementing it tonight.
Those who did 8-10 work points were given three bowls of rice for each meal, those who did 5-7 work points were given two bowls of rice, and those who did 1-4 work points were given one bowl of rice. Each bowl of rice came with a spoonful of vegetables.
Those who don't work will not participate in the distribution of food.
Children in every family should be encouraged to work more, such as picking grass for pigs, weeding the vegetable garden, and cleaning up pig manure and chicken manure. As long as they work hard, they will get work points and will not go hungry.
If he is lazy, the adults in the family are willing to save their own food rations and give them to him. We don't care because the village doesn't want to keep idle people anyway.
We in Zhoujiawan have always been a family ruled by filial piety. For the elderly over 60 years old in the village who are ill and cannot work in the fields, the village has the obligation to support them and give them a bowl of rice for each meal. Is that okay with you?"
Everyone answered in unison: "No problem!"
Zhou Chuanyi: "Very good! The decision to change the canteen was made through discussion among everyone. We will do it this way first, and whether to change it later and how to change it will also be decided by everyone through discussion.
I hope that during the implementation, some people will not complain about their temporary gains and losses.
Anyone who ruins Zhoujiawan's reputation outside should get out with his whole family. We don't welcome troublemakers!"
A woman asked: "We will definitely do what the captain said. When will the money in the public account be divided?"
Zhou Chuanjing and Zhou Chuanyi looked at each other and told the result of their discussion: "Some people in the village are very mean and like to say one thing in front of others and another behind their backs.
If there is a lazy guy who, for his own selfish interests, goes out and says that we don't provide enough food for everyone, the higher-ups will definitely blame us, and the rules we agreed upon today may no longer exist.
Everyone, please supervise each other and find out who is doing bad things behind the scenes. Find him out and we will kick him and his family out of the Zhou family tree and drive them out of Zhoujiawan!
I assure you that every penny in the public account will not be wasted. From tomorrow on, we will record the amount spent on buying oil, farm tools, etc. on the board in front of the cafeteria, and everyone will know it at a glance.
When the late rice is harvested, we will sell the grain that needs to be sold and share the profits together."
Everyone thought this was a good idea and agreed to Zhou Chuanjing's proposal.
The public canteen in Zhoujiawan no longer eats and drinks excessively, but has started a "thrifty" mode, which has also avoided many hidden dangers...
When Zhou Chuanyi communicated with several other production team leaders of Shengli Brigade, he would always hint at the drawbacks of the public canteen and emphasize that all the food they ate belonged to each production team, not to others, and that the country had not introduced a policy of distributing food for free.
I hope everyone can find a way to reform the canteen so that the food in the warehouse won’t be wasted and the whole village will starve.
The leaders of each production team were all experienced farmers. After hearing Zhou Chuanyi's words, they immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and went back to reform the canteen supply standards...
Huang Anhe, the brigade secretary, heard that Zhou Chuanyi had changed the supply standards of the Zhoujiawan public canteen and passed on his experience to others. He immediately took the red-headed document issued by the organization to question him, asking why he did not follow the rules and was harsh on the hard-working farmers.
Zhou Chuanyi smiled and said, "Please Secretary Huang, please point out where I did not follow the rules?"
Huang Anhe held up the red-letter document in his hand and said, "The organization's slogan is 'eat to your heart's content and work hard to produce'. If you don't let everyone have enough food, how can they produce? Are you trying to undermine the organization's policies?"
Zhou Chuanyi: "Please ask Secretary Huang to open the document issued by the organization and read it word by word. Tell me where the words 'eat to your heart's content and work hard to produce' are."
Huang Anhe paused, opened the document and looked at it again and again, but indeed he did not find the words "eat to your heart's content and work hard to produce".
He hesitated, "It's not mentioned in the document, but everyone was shouting slogans and doing this before. You are now changing the canteen supply standards without authorization, which is disobeying the organization's arrangements. I will tell the president about your bad behavior and ask him to remove you from your position as team leader!"
After Zhou Chuanyi was "enlightened" by Zhou Rong, he always carried newspapers that were beneficial to him.
Zhou Chuanyi took out a newspaper from his pocket and spread it out, pointing to a message titled "Our Action Slogan: Oppose Waste, Build the Nation with Diligence and Frugality!" and said, "The organization requires us to work hard, strive to be the best, build the country faster, better and more economically, and not to waste money!
Some members do not participate in labor, or slack off at work, but eat three or four bowls of rice in one meal, and keep scooping meat into their bowls, leaving those hard-working members with insufficient food. If we do not curb this, how can we convince the public?"
Huang Anhe: "What nonsense! We have now entered a communist society, and the country has plenty of food!
If there is not enough rice, just make more. If there is not enough meat, you have pigs in your farm, just kill a few more. Why do you want to make the hard-working farmers suffer?!"
Zhou Chuanyi: "Many members are waiting for money to build houses and get married. The rice in the warehouse, the pigs and chickens in the farm, etc. need to be exchanged for money to be distributed to everyone.
Secretary Huang sympathizes with the members and might as well find a way to write an application to the state to allocate a large amount of grain and meat. It would be best if each family could be given a hundred yuan, so that all troubles would be solved.
Since the members don't come to us to complain or make trouble, we naturally won't ask them to save food. They can eat as much as they want at each meal, and if they don't want to work, they can just lie at home.
I hope Secretary Huang can complete this glorious task as soon as possible. On the day when the grain and meat arrive, I will lead all the members to welcome Secretary Huang with drums and gongs, and I will also set up a longevity tablet for you."
Huang An was choked and couldn't say anything. He didn't understand how Zhou Chuanyi, who was tongue-tied before, suddenly became smart and spoke so clearly and logically that he couldn't refute it.
In order to avoid being laughed at by Zhou Chuanyi, Huang Anhe had no choice but to bite the bullet and report to the commune, hoping that a batch of money and grain would be allocated to support the public canteens of each production team.
As expected, he was scolded for not studying the organizational policies carefully. Each production team had to pay for its own canteen and the commune was not responsible.
Since things were not done properly, Huang Anhe was embarrassed to see Zhou Chuanyi and often avoided him.
Zhou Chuanyi was more than happy. No one would trip him up, so he could concentrate on leading everyone to produce...
Yanglinpo also opened a public canteen. Seeing that everyone was not enthusiastic at work but could eat several large bowls of food, and the food in the warehouse was getting less and less, Lin Dahe also realized the drawbacks of the public canteen.
If this continues, it will definitely lead to disaster!
Lin Dahe wanted to get a chance to show off, so he reported to the secretary of the Qianjin Brigade, hoping that the canteen could be reformed. He was severely scolded and almost dragged to a meeting.
Lin Dahe was frightened and stopped giving advice. He hid some food at home and told everyone to eat and drink as they pleased, since it wasn't his money anyway...
