Chapter 59 Waste Transportation
Chapter 59 Waste Transportation (Thanks to Guhuguan Zhenjun for the monthly vote!)
Li Kailang also returned to the transport team.
At this time, it was time to go to work. All the masters had received their respective tasks and were preparing to set off.
Li Kailang arrived a little late because of Cui Yuan's matter and could only receive what was left by other masters.
At this time, Master Zhang Jinwu also came out of the office and shouted to Li Kailang:
"Xiao Li, come here!"
"Master, is there anything wrong?" Li Kailang asked.
"Why is it so late today?"
"I helped a friend get a job in the makeup removal department, so I was late for the meeting." Li Kailang explained.
"Okay!" Zhang Jinwu said calmly. He also knew the difficulties of the unloading department, after all, they dealt with them every day.
At the same time, Zhang Jinwu took out the task list and a stack of delivery notes in his hand and handed them to Li Kailang.
"This is your task for today, take a look."
Li Kailang took the task list, glanced at it briefly, and thought it was to transport goods from other factories, so he didn't investigate further.
However, when he carefully read the contents of the task list twice again, he couldn't help but feel confused.
"Master, it takes a lot of fuel just to deliver this little bit of supplies."
The content on the task list was very simple, which was to load some steel waste generated during the production and processing process, such as the workpieces that Jia Dongxu failed to produce.
Li Kailang's task was to deliver the waste to the villages around Sijiu City.
[The term "waste" here is abbreviated to include: light waste, scrap steel, scrap steel plates, etc.]
Generally speaking, these waste materials can be recycled.
However, since it was going to be given away, it was not put back into the process.
Li Kailang began to worry about the transportation cost, because this delivery would consume a lot of gasoline. Li Kailang wondered:
"Master, it takes a lot of fuel just to deliver this little bit of supplies."
Zhang Jinwu listened to Li Kailang's doubts, smiled, and explained: "This is the factory's arrangement. Besides, this is a good thing. It's reasonable to consume some oil."
"Master, that's not what I meant." Li Kailang defended.
Zhang Jinwu said again: "Okay, I know what you mean, everyone is like this when they first receive this task, I was the same at the beginning.
Everyone wants to save fuel, but some fuel should be consumed and cannot be saved.”
Finally, Zhang Jinwu comforted Li Kailang:
"Okay, go ahead. This mission is hard, but it's still good for you. Walk around our surroundings and remember to get a tank of gas."
After saying that, Zhang Jinwu left.
Li Kailang was left behind, looking at the task list, feeling a little distressed.
He had his own gasoline, but he knew how much this mission would consume, so he couldn't just take it out suddenly.
"Xiao Li, what's wrong?" At this time, senior brother Lu Wenjiang asked, looking down and seeing Li Kailang's task.
"So that's what it is! The route isn't difficult, just follow the map."
"Brother, it's not about whether it's difficult or not, it's the oil!" Li Kailang said helplessly.
It’s about 120 to 130 kilometers round trip, and considering the fuel capacity of the GAZ truck, you really need to bring a tank of gasoline, otherwise you won’t be able to get back.
The iron fuel tank can hold 20 liters of gasoline, plus the gasoline capacity of the GAZ truck itself, it will consume more than 50 liters of gasoline.
Even if Li Kailang had oil, he didn't dare to consume it.
"Don't worry, this kind of thing doesn't happen often, and our steel rolling mill can still afford this amount of gasoline." As Lu Wenjiang spoke, his heart was bleeding.
Most steel mills have a similar mission, but without the gasoline subsidy.
Lu Wenjiang continued, "Okay, don't think about coming anymore, just go quickly, it's a long way to go, if you really want to spend money on gasoline, bring a buyer you know with you."
He was also heartbroken at first, but he didn't know any buyers.
Since the drivers travel all over the country, you can be a buyer yourself.
"Okay, let's go and stop looking!" Lu Wenjiang said as he pushed Li Kailang to his truck.
The truck was right in front of him, so Li Kailang had no choice but to accept it and drive to the logistics department to pick up an iron box full of gasoline.
Unlike in the past, Li Kailang did not go to the warehouse this time, but drove the car directly to the door of the workshop.
The first place to go is naturally the fitter workshop, which is closest to the transport team.
Li Kailang took the task list, parked the car in front of the fitter's workshop, and walked all the way to the workshop director's office.
"Hello, Director. I'm here to receive the waste." Li Kailang handed over the task list and the delivery note.
"Okay, wait a moment." The workshop director was very clear about this matter and had prepared the scraps long ago.
The workshop director said to several workers, "Jia Dongxu, Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Wu, the rest of you move that pile of waste." Upon hearing that, several people set off, only Jia Dongxu walked over slowly.
"Jia Dongxu, what are you doing? Hurry up!" The workshop director was also angry when he saw Jia Dongxu like this.
He felt that Jia Dongxu was not doing his job well and was not proactive. He was really bad at everything!
The workshop director's words immediately attracted everyone's attention, including Yi Zhonghai, who also looked at Jia Dongxu.
Jia Dongxu suddenly felt ashamed. He was embarrassed to be criticized in public.
He and his friends didn't care about this matter because they were all apprentices who had taken over the job, so they just had to do what they were supposed to do.
Jia Dongxu didn't want to do this, partly because he felt it was degrading to do so, as a first-level worker, he had to work with apprentices.
On the other hand, it was because he was unwilling to help Li Kailang move things.
"This Jia Dongxu is such a waste!" the workshop director thought to himself, and he disliked Jia Dongxu even more.
Li Kailang looked at Jia Dongxu jokingly. In Jia Dongxu's opinion, Li Kailang was provoking him.
However, before Jia Dongxu could vent his anger, the workshop director vented his anger first.
"Jia Dongxu, why are you still standing there? Go and move it!"
Hearing this, Jia Dongxu looked at Yi Zhonghai with a look of help, but Yi Zhonghai did not look at him, nor did he even turn his head.
I could only move the waste reluctantly.
"I'm sorry, Master Li, I made you embarrassed." The director said embarrassedly.
After all, this is a bad thing that shouldn't be told to others.
"No, no, I didn't see anything." Li Kailang replied, giving face to the workshop director.
The waste is weighed before being loaded onto a truck (the old-fashioned scales with four wheels underneath, which are not very accurate).
Because the waste materials have different shapes, it is impossible to weigh them all at once. We weigh them each time we move them and then add up the results. There are some deviations, but not large.
Now ten taels equal one jin.
[The idea of one catty equals ten taels began in the late 20s, when it was first proposed by Mr. Jiang Zhouyuan from Wenzhou. After the suggestion of ten taels per catty was put forward, it quickly received attention from the Central Administration for Industry and Commerce.]
[In 1958, the Central Administration for Industry and Commerce began to implement a comprehensive reform of weighing instruments and measurement across the country based on pilot projects in many places across the country, and the ten-liang scale was widely used.]

After moving it several times, Li Kailang also recorded it several times. After calculation, the total weight was 123.4 kilograms.
The weight is also intentionally controlled by the workshop director. Too much is not good, and too little looks fake.
Of course, it’s not that accurate, it’s just a coincidence, and Jia Dongxu deserves some credit for it.
His roar "contributed" some waste.
"This number is really auspicious!" Li Kailang said to himself.
Show the calculation process and results to the workshop director.
The workshop director took a look and nodded, "Let's go with this weight."
Upon hearing this, Li Kailang wrote on the delivery note, "123.4 catties of waste received, third workshop."
The delivery note was then handed to the workshop director, who signed it.
This completes the acceptance of one order.
"Okay, Director, now that I've got it done, I'll leave first." Li Kailang said goodbye.
"Okay, be careful on the road." The director also said politely.
After Li Kailang left, the director glanced at Jia Dongxu coldly and left.
Seeing this, Jia Dongxu knew that his life would be difficult, so the workshop director did not assign him any tasks this morning.
It made him feel very cold.
"No, we have to find a way. We can't go on like this, or I'll lose this job." Jia Dongxu said urgently.
Jia Dongxu looked at Yi Zhonghai, thinking about something.
Generally speaking, it is difficult to take away a stable job. However, if you don't perform well, there is a greater chance that you will be transferred to another place.
For example, the unloading department, or the sand casting workshop.
These two places are the most tiring and also where there is no path to promotion.
The most important thing is that with Jia Dongxu’s ability, no department might want him and he might end up having to sweep toilets.
