Black Dragon Northern Border Construction Site!
[Work hard for 100 days] Banners are hung everywhere.
Countless workers were working furiously, and soon it was time for lunch:
"Dinner is ready…"
"It's time to eat... Come on..."
With a few shouts, countless workers stopped working and gathered in an orderly manner towards the several canteen spaces. Ten thousand workers! Naturally, they couldn't eat together, but were divided into nearly ten areas, each with its own canteen area.
District three!
There are more than ten large pots on the ground, and hot steam and fragrance are coming out of each pot. Behind the pots are not old men and women like those in other construction sites, but several middle-aged men in white chef uniforms. Each of them has a very imposing aura. At first glance, they are serious old chefs with skills, and they are very neat and clean.
That's right!
Although the chef that Heilong hired for the construction site is not a five-star chef, he is also a serious chef.
A monthly salary of 5,000! The price of a decent chef in 2012 was completely different from the price of the aunties hired at other construction sites who only paid 1,000 or 2,000 yuan to cook.
The people in line smelled the delicious food and couldn't help asking:
"Chef Wang, what delicious food did you make today? It smells so good."
"Yeah! My stomach is rumbling. Do you think I could eat a whole cow?"
"I guess there's braised pork…"
Chef Wang laughed. "You have such a sharp nose! Main dishes: braised pork, spare ribs, and stir-fried beef! Side dishes: pork belly, cucumber, and scrambled eggs! Staple dishes: rice and steamed buns! Fruit: apples or bananas! Everything is fresh, go ahead and enjoy..."
Said.
He picked up a spoon and gave the worker a piece of meat from the basin.
No shaking!
No shaking!
He even asked: "Is it enough... If not, I'll give you another spoonful..."
Worker: "That's enough! My throat has been uncomfortable these past two days, so I've been eating some vegetarian food. Give me some more cucumbers..."
The chef gave him another spoonful of cucumber.
The worker carried a bowl of three meat dishes and two vegetable dishes to the staple food area, picked up four steamed buns and a banana, left, found a corner, sat on the steps and started eating.
It tastes so delicious.
The chef said to the worker at the back, "Come on, next one! I still say that I'm not afraid of you eating it all. As long as you don't waste it, you can make as much as you want. If it's not enough, I'll give you more."
After finishing their work, the workers gathered in groups of three or five and sat together to eat, and they couldn't help but exclaim:
"Wow, this braised pork is much better than what you get at restaurants out there..."
"This head of meat is pretty good too. Three meat dishes and two vegetables, plus a few steamed buns and a piece of fruit...perfect."
"Don't you see where these chefs come from? They're said to be chefs from big hotels."
"I'm not showing off, I just eat a lot of meat and fish every day and I don't want to eat anything too meaty..."
Ha ha...
Ha ha...
Bursts of laughter and joy appeared on the construction site.
After finishing their meal, they carried the dishes to the sink and couldn't help but say to the chef, "Chef Wang! We are finally enjoying a good meal! It's so delicious to eat every day..."
: "Yeah...I don't even eat this well in restaurants..."
: "Your cooking skills are amazing..."
Chef Wang laughed: "Haha... Please don't brag about me. If I have anyone to thank, I should thank... Brother Jiang..."
"You can eat so well because Brother Jiang specifically ordered the food to be high-quality. You and Brother Jiang are paying for it. Look around the country and ask around. Who feeds their workers braised pork or spare ribs? They all eat cabbage, tofu, and potatoes... So you should be grateful to Brother Jiang..."
As soon as these words were spoken.
The workers couldn't help but nod in agreement.
It's not the first time to work, so everyone knows what the food on the construction site is like. It can't be described as bad.
Basically:
Cabbage and tofu!
Cabbage and potatoes!
Cabbage vermicelli!
Cabbage, tofu, potato vermicelli!
Anyway...
Just eat it! Eat it without saying a word!
They didn't need to recall it themselves; the canteen at the Huwei construction site across the way was clearly visible. The two construction sites were close to each other, and the canteens were both on the edge of the construction sites, so they could see some of each other's food. Hmm! It was the menu mentioned above.
How can we not be satisfied with such a strong contrast?
They shouted:
"Brother Jiang is awesome!"
"Brother Jiang is awesome!"
"Work for Brother Jiang for the rest of my life!"
Waves of cheers echoed throughout the construction site.
Unlike the bustling bustle of laughter and joy at the Heilong construction site, the Huwei site was remarkably quiet. They also had several large pots, but unlike the various aromas emanating from the Heilong cauldrons, theirs contained only steam. The first person in the team looked at the dark liquid inside and was startled. "Oh! Has the food changed? It's not cabbage today, but potatoes, tofu, and vermicelli noodles? Are they going to improve the food?"
But when he looked closely, he was stunned.
I saw that there was boiled eggplant in plain water!
The auntie across from him poured a few pitiful eggplant peels into his bowl with shaking hands and waved:
"Next!"
The worker didn't leave, but stared at the eggplant peels in the basin in a daze.
Confused!
He was completely confused!
Isn't this stuff even worse than cabbage, tofu, vermicelli, or boiled eggplant? Is this for human consumption?
What...
Feed the pigs!
Worker: "Are you sure this is food for us?"
Auntie: "What? Are you dissatisfied? Eggplant is out of season! It's so expensive. This is part of the food improvement, you know?"
Worker: "This is fucking improving the food, what the hell is this? Who improves their food by eating eggplant strips boiled in water? It's okay if there's no oil, but look at these eggplant strips, they're so wilted. Where did you pick them up?"
Auntie: "What do you mean? Are you going to cause trouble?"
Worker:...
Most people couldn't help but look at the eggplants boiled in water in the pot and expressed dissatisfaction:
"This is too bad! How can we not even have cabbage and tofu? Who would eat this..."
"We pay 8 yuan a day for food, and this is all we get... We haven't had meat in almost half a month. When can we have meat again?"
The old lady raised her eyebrows and said, "What do you want to eat with 8 yuan for food? This... meat! I fed the meat to the dog four days ago."
Worker: "You call that meat? Chicken rack stewed with potatoes? The meat on the chicken rack isn't even hard to eat. I remember that stuff was awfully cheap. We only have 8 dollars a day for food, can't we eat better..."
"Yeah! Don't think we don't know how good the food in your kitchen is, so we have to eat so badly. Besides, the food at the Black Dragon construction site next door is so good, and they don't even need food expenses. We can't say that we can eat meat every meal, but we should have a proper meal every now and then. We have enough money."
Auntie: "Do you think I'm greedy for your money? I'm telling you, the money you paid is enough to eat this stuff. Eat it if you want or not, get out of here. Hello, Black Dragon Construction Site, are you going to the Black Dragon Construction Site? What are you looking at? Are you going to rebel? Go back and line up..."
She held a ladle in her hand and pointed at the hundreds of workers, like a general who could hold his own against ten thousand enemies...
