Old events in the south of the city —— Impression of Shouguang Materials Bureau

Material Bureau is the product of planned economy, which was established in 1960s. With the rapid economic growth after the reform and opening up in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Bureau of Materials lost its advantages, gradually lost its monopoly and dominant position, and suddenly withdrew from the historical stage.

Shouguang Material Bureau, established in 196 1, is located in the south of the city. According to the present location, the south of Cangsheng Park and the north of Jianxin Street are the original sites of Materials Bureau.

The gate of Shouguang Materials Bureau faces south. Although it is a compound, there are many gates. I remember three south gates and one west gate, right?

At that time, the sewage ditches in Shouguang County were all open-air. There is a sewage ditch in front of the materials bureau, and the gates to and from the materials bureau are all built with small bridges. This sewer divides into two streams, one to the east and the other to the north.

In addition to the material warehouse, Shouguang Material Bureau has coal station, timber market and steel market in turn ... Later, the Material Bureau was transformed into Shouguang Material Corporation, as well as metal materials company, renewable resources company and mechanical and electrical equipment company. ...

In the glorious period, the materials bureau was very good, and ordinary people couldn't get in if they wanted to. My old father was a driver, a coach and many apprentices. Two of them were driving for leaders in the city (then a county), but they were too old to work for drivers, so they were asked to choose their work units, and they all chose Shouguang Materials Bureau. It can be seen how "eye-catching" the Material Bureau was at that time!

What impressed me most about the yard of the Materials Bureau was that the honeycomb briquette production line in the east of the entrance, as long as the stirred pulverized coal was piled next to the machine for making honeycomb briquette, it could feed itself to produce finished products ... It felt very advanced and amazing at that time. ...

Large to steel, coal, mechanical and electrical equipment, small to wood, cement, steel, glass and so on. Used for building houses, can only be obtained through the materials bureau. Money doesn't necessarily buy it. You have to wait in line, buy tickets, make connections and go through the back door. ...

Shouguang Material Bureau (including State Material Bureau) has entered the dust of history, but there are still several buildings on the original site of Material Bureau, such as the office building of Material Bureau, Lido Hotel (acquired by Chenming Hospital and now part of the hospital) and the office building of renewable resources. ...

At the end of the story, I bought more than 50 pieces of honeycomb briquettes from the coal station of the Bureau of Materials, packed them in cartons and rode them home by motorcycle camel. At that time, I rode a motorcycle without a driver's license and didn't buy road maintenance fees. When the traffic control office checked the road maintenance fee, I chose to punch in, so I ran ahead and they chased after me. At that time, I was afraid that they would catch up, so I took a bumpy road. Perseverance chased me for thirty or forty miles. After returning to China, honeycomb coal turned into pulverized coal, and honeycomb coal lost its "honeycomb" ...
