Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Chapter 49 Choice
the next day.

Sixteen people, including Zhai Yucheng, left Laononghe Farm on the bus sent by the bureau.

The cafeteria was deserted in the morning. Du Shaojie sat outside the small door of the kitchen, staring at a light screen that only he could see. Others thought he was in a trance.

【Bound chef: Du Shaojie】

【Level: Apprentice (third year)】

【Current Works: Braised Pork】

【Overall evaluation: medium to low】

[Bonus: Chef Training Video Materials (VI)]

[Reward: Carp (3 kg), simulation training time (30 hours)]

[Special Reward: None]

Du Shaojie was not surprised that [Braised Pork] received an overall evaluation of "medium to low". After all, he had already reached this level in the simulation training.

What made him speechless was that since the simulation training function was turned on, upgrading the level of dishes no longer triggered special rewards.

It seems that his "newbie protection period" has passed. Now that he has left the novice village, he can no longer enjoy the newbie benefits.

No problem.

"No! Maybe I misunderstood. Currently, the highest overall evaluation of the dishes I make is 'medium-low'. If I break through this ceiling, it is still possible to trigger special rewards?"

Du Shaojie was very worried about a system that was unable to communicate effectively.

After thinking for a while, I became too lazy to think about it anymore. Whether my judgment was right or wrong, everything will become clear once a certain dish breaks through to the "medium" level.

"Master Du, what are your plans for lunch?"

Qin Xiaomei originally didn't want to disturb Du Shaojie, but seeing that it was time to prepare lunch, she had to come over and ask.

"Oh, let's make some tiger skin chili for lunch. Isn't there some pork belly left? Then make some stir-fried mustard greens with minced pork, and finally some stir-fried Chinese cabbage. The main dish is steamed cake. Go get ready."

Du Shaojie stood up and immediately arranged lunch.

He was very fortunate to have a golden finger, which prevented him from losing confidence even under such bad conditions.

Especially after starting the [Simulation Training], he had higher aspirations. Otherwise, if he stayed in this desolate place for a long time, he would go crazy.

Time slips away quietly.

In addition to being busy with his own affairs, Du Shaojie would meet with Chen Jizhou almost every one or two days.

The meeting place was still the same old place, a sheltered place behind the cowshed.

After Zhai Yucheng left, Jiang Xianfa took his place and was almost inseparable from Chen Jizhou.

Du Shaojie hadn't gotten any liquor recently, so he would bring them some food from time to time. A few roasted sweet potatoes, two boiled eggs, or some fried peanuts.
"Xiao Du, what good things did you bring to reward us today?"

Du Shaojie came to the old place after get off work. When Jiang Xianfa saw him, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Recently, Lin Zuo has assigned a heavy workload to the labor study group. Jiang Xianfa and Chen Jizhou always feel hungry soon after they have just eaten.

"I brought you some peanuts."

Du Shaojie smiled and raised the lunch box in his hand, then walked over and sat down on a stone.

There was a kerosene lamp placed between the three people, and the faint light just enveloped them.

"Xiao Du, Lao Zhai and the others have been back for nearly half a month. Have you heard any news?"

Chen Jizhou has become even more silent since Zhai Yucheng and others left.

He ate peanuts silently and suddenly asked a question.

"I heard that Chief Engineer Zhai went to Hongshanzui Power Plant to serve as the general commander of the newly launched Unit 4 Project. Director Jiang returned to the Production Department. Although he was not given a specific position, in fact, most of the burden of the department fell on his shoulders."

Du Shaojie slowly told him the news he had received. Chen Jizhou couldn't help but smile for the first time in a long time as he listened.

But after a while, he frowned again, as if he was feeling uncomfortable somewhere.

Du Shaojie quickly asked, and Chen Jizhou said that he had a sore throat.

The temperature difference between day and night is large in the area. Du Shaojie thought the man had caught a cold and quickly asked him to go back and rest: "Old Director, drink more boiled water when you go back. If you don't feel better by tomorrow, go see Doctor Wang."

Chen Jizhou responded and returned to the dormitory with Jiang Xianfa.

Du Shaojie didn't take it seriously at first. People these days are tough and don't care much about headaches or fevers.

Who knew that at night, Chen Jizhou began to have a fever and his throat felt burning.

When he got up in the morning, he went to Lin Zuo to ask for leave, but Lin Zuo refused to grant him leave: "Can a sore throat affect your work? You won't leave the front line if you have a minor injury, and your condition is not even a minor injury."

In desperation, Chen Jizhou worked for another half a day and lay down completely at noon.

Du Shaojie didn't know what happened in the morning. It was not until Jiang Xianfa went to the cafeteria to get food that he learned that Chen Jizhou had fallen ill.

"Aunt Qin, Sister Li, please hold on for a while. Doctor Wang and I will go see Uncle Chen."

Upon hearing this, Du Shaojie did not dare to delay and immediately took Wang Liwen to Chen Jizhou's dormitory.

Wang Liwen first took the patient's temperature and found that the fever was already 40 degrees. After taking a look at the patient's throat, she basically came to a conclusion.

"He has acute tonsillitis, and it has started to fester. In this case, he needs to be hospitalized, or get an injection or stay in the hospital for observation. We can't delay any longer."

The farm does not have the conditions for treatment at all, so it is best to go back to the city for treatment.

Wang Liwen gave some advice, then wrung out a cold towel, put it on Chen Jizhou's forehead, and turned and walked out.

"I'm going to find Lin Zuo. The beast forced Lao Chen to work this morning. Otherwise, his condition wouldn't have deteriorated so quickly."

Despite the scolding, Jiang Xianfa knew very well that if he wanted to go back to the city for treatment, he had to get Lin Zuo's approval.

He immediately went out to find the other party, but he never expected that Lin Zuo still disagreed.

"If everyone is as delicate as you, and you have to go back to the city for a minor illness, then wouldn't the labor study group become a decoration? Give him some medicine first, and he will get better after a while."

"Team Leader Lin, you have to be responsible for the decision you made. Old Chen has a fever of 40 degrees and is completely delirious. You want him to fight it? We should have a minimum conscience and not stand by and watch him die!"

Jiang Xianfa also got angry. It was the first time he lost his temper so much that he slammed the table in front of Lin Zuo.

"What's your attitude? If I don't allow you to take leave, then I don't allow you to take leave. It's useless even if you bang your head on the table. I'm telling you, Jiang Xianfa, I will keep a record of your performance today."

Lin Zuo rolled his triangular eyes, completely dashing Jiang Xianfa's hope.

Jiang Xianfa stomped his feet and quickly returned to the dormitory. He was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.

But what can he do? When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. As a member of the group, he can't protect himself either.

"I want to eat braised pork and sweet and sour spare ribs."

Chen Jizhou drank some porridge in the morning. His stomach was empty, and he started talking nonsense because of his high fever.

Du Shaojie looked at the other person's red face, gritted his teeth and said, "This won't work, Chief Jiang, give him some paracetamol first, I'll be back soon."

At this time, he had two choices. One was to stay by Chen Jizhou's side and hope that he could pull through. The other was to find a way to bring him back to the city and take him to the hospital for treatment.

The first option is that he does not need to take any risks himself.

With the second option, he might be implicated, making his situation even more difficult.
