The counterattack begins with Fan Shengmei in Ode to Joy

Chapter 435 Eat and Drink
The time has come to the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye, and the taste of the New Year on the street is getting heavier and heavier.

The busiest department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant during this period is undoubtedly the back kitchen. There are superior departments to direct the work, and brother units to inspect and study.

People in these years lack this kind of food. From the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the average frequency of two tables in the back kitchen small stove private room is to attend meetings every day, eating eight dishes and one soup.

"Why don't you eat these bastards to death?" Liu Lan cursed viciously while picking vegetables.

She is now shopping for the canteen, and she shouldn't be doing this job.

But who told the back kitchen to be too busy now, one person has to be in charge of two people, and the busy feet don't touch the floor.

Ma Hua said: "You have to tell Director Li about this. I see, the more people outside, the happier our Director Li is. Think about it, who would not accept his favor? Maybe we will If it is useful to others, isn't that just a matter of one sentence?"

Master Yang of the back kitchen also echoed: "Hey, that's right. Friendship is made by eating and drinking. Look at this group of people, each of them is full of food. They don't look like a leader|leader|leader|department What does it look like?"

"Okay, okay! Don't say a few sarcastic remarks, let the leader listen and deal with you, I don't care!"

Zhuang Ziqiang saw that these people were getting more and more exaggerated, so he reminded him aloud.

The crowd stopped talking for a while.

Now the chef Zhuang Ziqiang is the most tiring in the back kitchen. Not only does he have to cook meals for the workers, but he also has to make noodles for the small kitchen. The workload is twice as much as before.

Now that he is the director of the cafeteria, he doesn't have to cook in person, but whether it is the leader who came to inspect or the worker in the factory, he is used to eating his food. If someone else doesn't do it, Zhuang Ziqiang can only Bite the bullet and stand on the front line.

But this is also very good, he is so busy every day that he has no free time, at least he doesn't have to worry about other people messing with him.

Now there are too many idlers making trouble.

For example, the second uncle, when he first became a leader, he was so rampant that he ignored everyone except the director and offended many people.

Now that they are taken down, they are immediately cleaned up by the workshop director. In the winter, they have to sweep the floor outside the workshop. It takes a whole day to clean up, which is called suffering.

There are also the father and son of the third uncle, who were criticized by Director Li by name for beating the second uncle. The next day, the two were reprimanded at their work units.

The third master's family was timid, and after being treated like this a few times, the family was about to turn upside down.

Daughter-in-law Yu Li is clamoring to divorce her eldest son Yan Jiecheng, and this kind of operation is popular at this time.

The feeling to the people in the courtyard is that the family is about to break up.

Now people in various units are like the hyena who has been hungry for three days, watching others make mistakes, as long as they catch you with a little mistake, they will rush up immediately.

But the experience of the father and son is not worthy of sympathy. If they hadn't held back their bad intentions to do things, they wouldn't have been treated like this.

However, compared with Xu Damao's experience, the treatment of these three people is already very good.

Because he was regarded as a model by the factory, Xu Damao has been regarded as the most ruthless person in the factory for more than half a year.

He was thrown in front of the S clinic in October, and his leg was broken due to an "accident".

In fact, being busy in the back kitchen is not bad at all.

The purchase of all kinds of grains, oils, meat, eggs and vegetables increased greatly, and Zhuang Ziqiang instructed Liu Lan to take a small part of it as a New Year's benefit for the kitchen staff, which aroused cheers and encouragement from his staff.

How could they have been treated like this when Director Bai was here?

The relationship between Liu Lan and Zhuang Ziqiang is harmonious now. This is all "normal wear and tear".

Not only that, but the people in the noodle canteen enjoyed it too.

It is said that a cook can't die of hunger in a famine year, and the meals are all made by the back kitchen, so we can't let people cook for them hungry.

Under Zhuang Ziqiang's coordination, the meals at the kitchen workers' homes have skyrocketed these days, and there is a Chinese New Year atmosphere, all thanks to Director He.

On the evening of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Zhuang Ziqiang entered the old man's house with his things.

"Master, I'll bring you some pastries, they're from the south, you and Mommy can try it."

The old man and his wife looked at the beautifully packaged iron box pastry, with the words "Guangdong pastry" written on it.

"Oh, Zhuzi has a heart, did you buy this?" asked the aunt.

"No, someone else gave it to me."

The pastry was actually mailed to him by the big leader. He didn't say it clearly, because he didn't want anyone who cared to know to cause trouble.

"That's great, I haven't eaten southern pastries yet!" said the aunt, touching the tin box, with joy in her eyes.

The uncle also had a gratified smile on his face, and Zhuang Ziqiang's actions made him feel more and more that he had the right vision of people.

"Pillar, does the old lady have any?" the uncle asked.

"Don't worry, I'll give it to the old lady first."

"That's good." The old man was relieved.

After talking with the uncle and his wife for a while, Zhuang Ziqiang came to the room of his brother-in-law Qin Weiguo.

"Weiguo, how's everything going?"

"Brother-in-law, everything is ready." Qin Weiguo was packing his things at this time.

This year is Qin Weiguo's first year in the Red Star Rolling Mill, which also allowed him to see the benefits of being a worker.

He now earns 27 yuan a month. He doesn’t need to spend money to eat in the factory cafeteria at noon, and he doesn’t need to spend money to eat at his sister’s or brother-in-law’s house at night. He can also eat breakfast in the back kitchen.

If other expenses are not counted, his salary can basically be left over.

In fact, he doesn't have any expenses. He has been in the factory for a few months. Apart from buying a set of clothes and cotton shoes, he has no other expenses. Even things like haircuts and baths are settled by invoices from the factory.

Zhuang Ziqiang would sometimes tease him for being a Grandet.

When Qin Weiguo heard this, he just smiled and said nothing. Before leaving home, his parents told him that he had already entrusted his brother-in-law with great favor when he entered the factory.

He has saved 80 yuan now, and by this time next year he is confident that he can save 200 yuan, and then he can buy a house of his own in BJ City. It may not be very big, but at least he has I don't need my sister and brother-in-law to worry about my own nest.

"Here, this is a pastry from Guangdong, take it back for my parents to try."

Zhuang Ziqiang handed the cake to Qin Weiguo.

Qin Weiguo said embarrassingly: "Brother-in-law, you and my sister can keep it for food. I will take back enough for the Chinese New Year."

What he said was not polite, the luggage he was packing now was basically the benefits from the factory kitchen and Zhuang Ziqiang during this period.

白面20斤、大米10斤、猪肉10斤、桔子5斤、糖块1斤、带鱼5斤，还有一块麂子肉，至少也有五六斤重。

"You can take it here, and let the old couple try something new." Zhuang Ziqiang forced the pastry into his hands.

Qin Weiguo was moved while holding the things.

My family owes my brother-in-law too much!
