Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 103 The visitor is evil

In the past, the family conditions did not allow it, but fortunately Du Shaojie worked hard and now earns more than 50 yuan a month, so his financial conditions have naturally improved a lot.

You have to know that at this time last year, he was only earning 21 yuan a month.

At that time, every penny had to be spent carefully. Even eating and dressing were a problem, so where did we get pocket money?
Du Shaojie was also very clear about it, and after explaining it to Wang Yuxiu, he didn't say anything more.

Before going to bed, he took stock of the day's gains.

【Bound chef: Du Shaojie】

[Level: Level 3 Chef]

【Current work: Dezhou Braised Chicken】

【Overall evaluation: Medium】

[Bonus: Complete Collection of Medicinal Diets (Part 1)]

[Reward: Salted duck eggs (4 kg) Simulation training duration (40 hours)]

[Special Reward: None]

【Duration: 640 hours\1540 hours】

After simulation training and practical operation, [Dezhou Braised Chicken] finally received an overall evaluation of "medium".

Du Shaojie was very motivated and spent 20 hours that night conducting simulation training.

He himself divided the dishes into pork dishes, pork offal dishes, beef dishes, mutton dishes, fish dishes, chicken dishes, seafood dishes, etc.

The focus of tonight's training is still on pork offal.

【Duration: 620 hours\1540 hours】

The next day.

Du Shaojie and Zhao Dajun took the bus back to the farm.

Lin Zuo was also traveling with them, but their seats were far apart and they didn't communicate at all along the way.

In the afternoon, Zhao Dajun called a meeting of all employees and formally announced Lin Zuo's appointment. From that day on, he would serve as the deputy director of Laolonghe Farm.

"After some discussion, we decided to let Deputy Director Lin take charge of the union and women's affairs. Everyone applaud. From now on, we are a family. Please support Deputy Director Lin's work."

No matter how much Zhao Dajun disliked Lin Zuo, he had to go through this process.

Although he was smiling, he had actually begun to exclude Lin Zuo from the perspective of division of labor. He was mainly responsible for trade union work and women's work, which made him have no real power.

There was thunderous applause from the audience, and those who didn't know the inside story thought Lin Zuoduo was very popular.

Afterwards, Lin Zuo said some set words with an expressionless face, and Zhao Dajun announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Du Shaojie and the others returned to the cafeteria and did what they had to do. Everyone still had to eat lunch, right? But they had to pay attention to the food, and try to make it as good as possible while not letting someone catch them.

"Master Du, what delicious food did you make for lunch?"

At lunch time, Du Shaojie stood in front. Someone walked into the cafeteria and asked from a distance,
"Dumpling soup, cornmeal pancakes, and stir-fried mustard greens."

Du Shaojie responded with a smile, and the smile on the man's face suddenly froze.

To be honest, the dumpling soup has almost become their nightmare. During the time when Du Shaojie was seconded to Xijiang Hotel, Qin Xiaomei liked to make this the most. The key is that it was not very good and I really didn't want to eat it.

But the man didn't say anything. He ordered a bowl of dumpling soup, two cornmeal cakes and a portion of pickled mustard greens, then sat aside and started eating.

As soon as he took a bite of the dumpling soup, his eyes lit up. The taste was good, completely different from what Qin Xiaomei had made before.

Du Shaojie witnessed the changes in many people's expressions and found it funny. Today's dumpling soup is made with the best broth and enough ingredients, so how could it not taste good?
The stock is left over from a few days ago. It was frozen outside and can be used anytime after thawing.

In the following days, the canteen's meals were relatively simple, with occasional meat and fresh vegetables. The greenhouse had been cancelled, and the canteen lost a large portion of welfare subsidies.

But this is necessary. Lin Zuo has a very sensitive nose and it is not worth sacrificing his personal future for this.

Lin Zuo could feel that most of the workers in the field rejected him, but he was not in a hurry. He had done his homework before coming here, and would focus on Zhao Dajun, Du Shaojie, Wang Liwen, and Chu Xiaowei and his wife.

According to his understanding, these people are all in the same gang, and if they take down one of them, they can bring down a whole bunch of them.

He just didn't believe that under the leadership of Director Wu, an "independent kingdom" like the farm could continue to exist?
In fact, he came with a mission, and his purpose was to bring down Zhao Dajun. Zhao Dajun was Deputy Director Huang's man, and the story behind it was intriguing.

Du Shaojie also understood that Lin Zuo had bad intentions, but he couldn't do much. He could only make sure nothing happened in the cafeteria.

After a heavy snowfall, Zhao Dajun led the main forces of the field to engage in the work of "preventing cold and resisting disasters."

The canteen has also legitimately improved the food. If there is no welfare, you can apply for subsidies. Otherwise, if everyone works so hard and still can't eat well, it will be unacceptable.

For lunch, we made sauerkraut noodles, which were made by stir-frying sauerkraut, chili peppers, green peppers, lamb, etc. It tasted sour and spicy and was very appetizing.

Everyone enjoyed the meal and many asked for more noodles.

Du Shaojie had anticipated this, so he prepared enough white noodles for lunch.

Later, Zhao Dajun and Wang Liwen came in together. Both of them were busy during this period. Zhao Dajun was responsible for overall command, and Wang Liwen was responsible for providing medical services to everyone.

After working outdoors for a long time, it is inevitable that some people will catch a cold or fever, so the stock of medicines in the infirmary has been increased twice.

"Master Du, there is a letter for you. I brought it to you."

When it was Wang Liwen's turn to get food, she took out a letter from her pocket.

The handwriting on the envelope was neat and beautiful, and it was obviously written by a girl. I wonder who Du Shaojie was related to.

Du Shaojie freed one hand, glanced at the envelope, and said with a smile: "It's a letter from Liang Meiqin! She hasn't written to me for a long time. It's rare! Rare!" "It's a letter from Meiqin! You are busy, let's talk later."

Wang Liwen had met Liang Meiqin and Qi Yan and had a good impression of both girls.

She then took her rice bowl to an empty table, sat down, and started eating the flat noodles. Today's pickled cabbage noodles were so delicious that even she wanted to have more noodles.

It’s a pity that I have a small appetite and can’t eat it.

After finishing his work, Du Shaojie returned home and opened the letter from Liang Meiqin.

The content of the letter is still in the same style as before, chatting about the weather and local food, but there is always a vague sense of nostalgia between the lines.

"Finally I know what Mikoto is doing, a communications soldier, not bad for a girl."

In the letter, Liang Meiqin did not reveal more information, but clearly stated her identity as a communications soldier.

At the end of the letter, she expressed her nostalgia for the dishes cooked by Du Shaojie and asked him to give her regards to his family on her behalf.

After reading it, Du Shaojie wrote back a letter. He mainly talked about his work and life during this period, and especially emphasized that he had passed the exam to become a level 3 chef, which was a little bit of a show-off.

Before going to work in the afternoon, he went to the field office and mailed the letter.

Then I went to the cafeteria.

Du Shaojie did not eat in the cafeteria in the evening. Wang Liwen asked someone to bring back some pork liver from the county town and asked him to help fry it.

That's no problem at all. We have chili peppers, pickled peppers and garlic sprouts at home. He brought two green peppers when he came, so basically those side dishes and condiments are enough.

Wang Liwen grows the garlic sprouts herself. She soaks the garlic heads in a container and places it indoors for a period of time, and the garlic sprouts will grow. She can just pick some when needed, which is very convenient.

"Doctor Wang, this piece of pig liver is quite large. We can't finish it in one meal."

Du Shaojie quickly finished a dish of [Stir-fried Pork Liver].

He had been training hard on cooking pork offal during this period, so he could cook this kind of dish quickly and well. As soon as it was served on the table, Wang Liwen couldn't help but salivate.

Today's staple food is rice. Wang Liwen is from the south and doesn't like to eat noodles every day, so she occasionally tries to change the taste.

"It doesn't matter if you can't finish it. I'll have the rest for breakfast tomorrow."

The two of them immediately sat down and started eating. One dish was served on two large plates, but in the end they only finished one.

After cleaning up, Wang Liwen made a cup of tea for Du Shaojie.

"Lin Zuo has been talking to people everywhere these days. I don't know what he wants to do."

Wang Liwen comes into contact with a lot of people every day and always gets some gossip.

She told Du Shaojie that Lin Zuo had not been idle during this period.

"He's the deputy director, so no one can say anything about this. But that guy is a venomous snake, so be careful not to get bitten by him. Be careful when you speak, so as not to let others catch you."

Du Shaojie was not surprised. It would have been strange if Lin Zuo had not taken any action.

He was not worried about himself, but he specifically reminded Wang Liwen.

Wang Liwen has some of the characteristics of the "angry young man" of later generations, otherwise why would she be exiled to the farm?

"I understand. Don't talk about state affairs."

Wang Liwen smiled and nodded. She learned from her mistakes and would not make the same mistake again.

The last time was actually quite dangerous. If someone hadn’t protected her, she might have gone to jail.

Du Shaojie drank two cups of tea, then got up and returned to his residence.

His life is simple and fulfilling. He has so much different information to learn and often conducts practical training in simulated training scenarios. He never feels bored at all.

He has spent another 158 hours these days, leaving 462 hours of simulation training time.

After opening the light curtain and taking a look, he couldn't help laughing. It seems that the simulation training during this period was very effective.
