Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 40 Wild Boar
"Chen Jizhou, are you threatening me? I told him he can participate in the labor if he wants to, and I will be responsible if anything happens."

Lin Zuo glanced at Chen Jizhou coldly, then turned and left.

In the end, he did not grant Zhai Yucheng leave.

"Lao Chen, forget it. Let's go eat first. It will be much better if we have something in our stomach."

Zhai Yucheng didn't want Chen Jizhou to have a falling out with Lin Zuo because of him, so he pulled him out of the dormitory.

In the morning, the canteen prepared corn porridge, steamed cakes, and pickles. In addition, Du Shaojie also specially prepared a bowl of sugar. Those who like to eat sweet can add a spoonful of it to the porridge.

Recently, the workload of the labor study group has increased, and he tries his best to make the meals better within his ability.

In fact, everyone has noticed that the dishes these days are rich in oil and sugar. Obviously, this is an intentional arrangement by Master Du and other people in the cafeteria.

Lin Zuo was just the opposite, he was very unhappy.

But the canteen was not his responsibility, and he had no say, so he could only keep an eye on the people in his group. So Chen Jizhou and Zhai Yucheng were in trouble, they were exhausted and not allowed to rest even when they were sick.

Wang Liwen became more grateful, worked harder, and learned things quickly.

After breakfast.

The whole farm suddenly became noisy. Li Guixiang ran out to ask and found out that a wild boar, which came from nowhere, had broken into the farm.

Zhao Dajun and Chu Xiaowei organized people to surround and intercept the wild boar, and finally shot and killed it not far from the river.

"Master Du, thank you for your hard work again."

Zhao Dajun, Chu Xiaowei and others carried the wild boar around the field and finally sent it to the cafeteria.

Then Zhao Dajun looked at Du Shaojie with a smile and prepared to improve the food for everyone.

In fact, fishing and hunting can only be a small supplement. With so many people on the farm, the harvest in a year is just a drop in the bucket.

But this is a good way to boost morale. Otherwise, why would Zhao Jun carry the wild boar around in circles?

"Why is it so hard? It's just my job."

Du Shaojie had no idea about this before, but now he has a better understanding of this era.

For example, the drivers in the bureau not only need to be able to drive but also to repair cars. Another example is the chef in my canteen, who not only has to cook but also cut vegetables, and even occasionally has to act as a butcher.

But this problem did not pose a problem for him. Not to mention a dead pig, he could also stab a living pig with one knife.

He had killed pigs and sheep before in the bureau, and his advanced knife skills also included the "Pao Ding's Ox-butchering" knife technique.

Next, Du Shaojie asked Li Guixiang and others to boil a large pot of water and began to process the wild boar.

First, the hair was scalded and shaved, and then the whole pig was cut into pieces. Wang Liwen was almost dumbfounded watching from the side. She saw the other party holding a sharp knife and easily passing through the gaps between the joints. With a pull and a pick of the blade, a large piece of meat could be cut out.

At this moment, she was even a little confused, was Du Shaojie a chef or a butcher?

Du Shaojie worked for a long time before he finally dealt with the wild boar, and then handed it over to Qin Xiaomei and others to clean.

At this time, Lin Zuo ran over breathlessly and shouted at Zhao Dajun: "Director Zhao, are you going to eat such a big wild boar? You should hand it over to the bureau first, and then the bureau will distribute it."

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became cold.

Qin Xiaomei and Chu Xiaowei looked at Lin Zuo with murderous eyes. Was this annoying guy born just to be annoying?

However, the other party kept saying "the bureau" and these people really didn't know how to respond for a while.

Zhao Dajun took out a cigarette box and cigarette paper from his pocket, lowered his head to roll a cigarette, then lit it, took a puff, and exhaled thick smoke.

"If it's something from the farm, I, Zhao Dajun, will never take even a cent of it privately. We should make sure every grain of rice is returned to the warehouse, right?

However, this wild boar does not belong to the farm, it was caught by accident. You asked me to hand it over, but how dare you use my things as a favor to curry favor with others?" Zhao Dajun suddenly raised his voice, which scared Lin Zuo.

The people around burst into laughter, not giving any face to Lin Zuo, the leader of the working group.

"Wait a minute. I'm going to report this to Director Wu."

Lin Zuo's face instantly turned the color of liver. He pointed at Zhao Dajun and wanted to say something harsh, but when he saw the murderous eyes of Chu Xiaowei and others, he didn't dare to say it out loud.

The people on the farm are not the same as those in the labor study group. If he continues to speak wildly, he might really get beaten.

Lin Zuo left a word and fled. He was as arrogant as he came, and as embarrassed as he left.

"Bah! Villain."

Chu Xiaowei spat fiercely on the ground and cursed.

Zhao Dajun didn't say anything, but asked Du Shaojie to cook quickly. Today, all the men, women, young and old in the field should come to have a feast.

Du Shaojie thought about it and decided to make one dish and one soup.

The bones and scraps with meat on are used to make soup, to which kelp and green radish are added.

The pork can be braised in brown sauce and then added with cabbage and vermicelli, which will definitely satisfy everyone's cravings.

Wild boar meat is not like domestic pigs. It does not have as much fat and the meat is firmer, so it needs to be stewed for a longer time.

Several people divided the work and cooperated with each other, and quickly completed the preparations.

Du Shaojie began to blanch the pork and pork bones. After blanching, he put the pork bones into the pot with cold water, brought to a boil over high heat and skimmed off the foam. Then he added onion, ginger, a little peppercorns and peppercorns, and simmered slowly over low heat.

Heat another pan, add cooking oil, and when the oil temperature reaches 50%, add the pork and stir-fry. Make sure the meat is fragrant and dry, then add chili peppers, onions, ginger, garlic, star anise and other small ingredients.

When the small ingredients are fried and fragrant, pour in soy sauce and a little salt to adjust the base flavor, then add hot water and start stewing.

Stir-frying a big pot of food is a physical job. The spatula is like a small shovel, and you can't flip the pot without some strength.

Du Shaojie wiped his sweat, told Wang Liwen to keep an eye on the fire, and went out to find Zhao Dajun.

"Manager Zhao, there is still some meat left, as well as the pig's head and offal. Please decide what to do with it."

This wild boar was not small and it was not done in one go.

The weather is a bit hot now, so it’s not easy to store food, so Du Shaojie said this.

"How do I deal with this?"

Zhao Dajun was a little confused. He didn't have any magic, so how could he freeze these things?
"I have an idea. It's right for us to ignore that guy, but we should also maintain a good relationship with the bureau. How about we send the remaining meat, pig heads and offal directly to the bureau cafeteria, so that the staff of the agency can also benefit from it. What do you think?"

Du Shaojie thinks that Director Wu should be distinguished from ordinary employees in the bureau. We won't flatter him, but just provide some benefits to ordinary employees.

When Zhao Dajun heard this, he thought it made sense.

The reason why he reacted so strongly just now was mainly because of that villain Lin Zuo, not because he wanted to fall out with the bureau.

If he had a falling out with the bureau, his tenure as field director would be over.

"Okay, let's do as you say. Today happens to be Thursday, so there is a shuttle bus. I'll personally deliver it when the bus goes back. By the way, I heard that Engineer Zhai is sick and has no medicine? I'll talk to Section Chief Wang and try to get some back."

At this time, Zhao Dajun also turned around and couldn't help but look at Du Shaojie a few more times.

Although this young man is young, he is very experienced in his work.

Du Shaojie retired after accomplishing his mission, turned around and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.
