Chapter 246 The Clever Little Foodie

The current transportation capacity of the automobile factory is very strong, with five trucks and 16 three-wheeled trucks. If it weren't for some relationships and benefit exchanges, there would be more three-wheeled trucks. However, more than half of them went out for transportation, and those who stayed in the factory were probably some transportation masters taking a break.

The transportation capacity of the transportation station is in urgent need. If the automobile factory is willing, the car will not be able to stop at all. When drivers take a break, they usually load and unload cargo. Drivers are so popular these days that they don’t even have to do the loading and unloading, and they have to wait on them with cigarettes.

We were going to pull food today, and the people from the logistics department immediately notified the dispatcher of the transportation team at the bus station not to issue transportation orders to the driver. The vehicles in the transportation team of the automobile factory all go to the grain station to collect grain.

When the driver heard that he was pulling something for his own factory, he basically smiled and said that he would lose a lot today. Recently, I have become accustomed to pulling goods. Many factories that need to deliver goods or pull goods know that the transportation team of the automobile factory and the transportation station have a cooperative relationship, and it is not temporary. This is in order to arrange delivery and pickup of goods as early as possible. Even if it is a three-wheeled truck, other companies and units know the rules.

It was meal time, and regardless of whether the reception was good or bad, at least the driver was not hungry. Sometimes I send things to small factories, and I also receive small items. At first, the drivers were not used to it, but as time went by, the drivers were still talking to each other about which factory was good at it.

And the person who collected the things was indeed taken care of. The dispatcher had a transportation bill from the transportation station. This is a gift anyway, and the driver can at least choose who to give it to first.

Now the automobile factory has to transport goods and haul things. For the drivers in the factory, not to mention the extra benefits, they also have to eat their own meal tickets for lunch at their own factory. If I don’t go out, I don’t have a 60-cent food subsidy. If you are outside, you can eat a meal at someone else's workplace. Not only will the food be good, but you can also save on subsidies. Even though the three-wheeled trucks are not big, the cars from the automobile factory have good performance and can pull a lot. They can also help people order goods privately.

Anyway, there is no driving on this day, so the driver’s income will be much less. But if it was arranged by the car factory, no driver would complain or dare to complain. Those who drive three-wheeled trucks are not real drivers, at least they don't have a driver's license. They can also tell who gave them this good job and what factory they were paid by.

So I was assigned to pull my own goods from the factory. The driver said he had suffered losses, but he always smiled. Moreover, the radio also said that this time we were pulling the factory’s own food, and every employee had a purchasing quota. The same is true for their transportation team, and the transportation team does not need to buy grain according to the order of the workshops reported on the radio, because they often go out, and they are given special care to buy grain when they come.

This time we go to collect grain, it is grain from our own factory. The driver should not act like a driver and wait for the porters at other people's grain stations to load all the goods. Two large trucks and five three-wheeled trucks drove to the grain station in a mighty manner.

In less than three hours, the food was brought back. Of course, it was only part of it. They would have to pull it back in the afternoon. When the grain is brought to the automobile factory, it is naturally unloaded by the handling team in the factory. Luo Bing drove a forklift and used a rope to pull a dozen sacks of grain into the granary.

And other people don't have to carry grain on their shoulders like the grain station. A manual forklift can just put three sacks of grain, and unloading is fast anyway.

The workers working near the warehouse saw the grain coming and were envious of the workshop where they could buy grain today. This is all rice, not stick noodles. Even if many families plan to buy rice and replace it with whole grains later, they still need to improve their food appropriately and eat rice once.

A bowl of Chinese cabbage, a bowl of rice, and some soy sauce to mix it together, it will be fragrant. Children can lick their food cleanly.

While everyone was still discussing buying rice, the radio rang again. Today, comrades from the forklift factory of the branch factory came to assist the automobile factory in producing forklifts. Today, there are tons of potatoes and chicken nuggets in the cafeteria, so don’t miss it.

If there are meat dishes or scrambled eggs in the cafeteria, the announcement will be made via the radio. This is mainly for workers who go home to eat. Don’t miss an opportunity to improve your diet with meat dishes just because you don’t know. Meat dishes are only a few cents more expensive, and they are cooked by Master He and Master Liu in the canteen. The stir-fry chefs at the automobile factory cannot compare with those from outside factories.

Although a portion of chicken nuggets roasted with potatoes has more potatoes and less chicken nuggets, it is sold cheaply in the canteen. It would be good if the workers bought it and everyone in their family could taste a piece.

Luo Cheng secretly spent the morning in the office studying the construction diagrams of some parts of the air pressure brake that he signed in for today. You have to learn this thing. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. It would be difficult to explain the drawings and operating principles that you have taken out by yourself, and if others don’t know everything about them when they ask them. Luo Cheng didn't want to stay up late now. It was cold, so he should lie down in bed early and feel comfortable.

At noon, no matter how everyone speculated about how the technicians at the forklift factory reached an agreement not to come to Ngee Ann. But what should be received is reception. If workers go to the canteen to eat and show their work certificate from the forklift factory, they can buy food in the canteen just by paying. Whether it is today or this month of support, they do not need to be brought by the forklift factory. The skilled workers who came received meal tickets.

The people from the forklift factory came here because they applied through local units and obtained business trip qualifications. The local food stamps were replaced by national food stamps in Ngee Ann. Meal stamps in the factory cafeteria are all exchanged for food stamps. Otherwise, if the automobile factory expands so rapidly and the number of workers doubles, where can we get so much food for cooking?

Usually when there is a reception in the factory, it must be done according to the prescribed standards. The main reason is that the food eaten cannot be used to fill the bill. The money is okay, mainly because you have to buy tickets for everything to eat.

But things are different now. Factory Director Wu brought dozens of people over and gave them free meal tickets. Currently, it was just a matter of words for the automobile factory.

Of course, Director Wu said that there was an extra reception for the meal. The place for the reception has also been changed. The new canteen has a private room. The private room has two doors, one of which leads to the employee dining hall. One door leads to the kitchen, and the dishes are served directly from the kitchen to avoid being too conspicuous.

During the reception dinner, Xu Haitang and Li Xiaotong must have established a good relationship with someone in the kitchen. The atmosphere was lively and the beauty group was in a lively atmosphere, and the two of them got the news and arrived in advance.

As a result, as soon as Luo Cheng entered the private room, they called Director Luo to come, and then all the seats and what he needed were arranged. It's a pity that the reception talent is in the wrong place. After reforms, if there is a public relations department, Xu Haitang, a minister, will not be able to escape. As for Li Xiaotong, he is also a talented person at the banquet table. If someone has a health problem while eating at the banquet table, there will be a medical nurse there.

"Hey, strange-flavored duck. Thanks to Director Wu, Master Liu must have made this dish today. Director Wu, you have to try this dish. It tastes very good. I don't know that you are from Liancheng. The habit of eating or not eating.”

"Director Zhang, you're welcome. I went to Hongcheng before liberation. In fact, if we didn't add chili pepper, our food in Liancheng would taste almost the same as yours. After all, it's only a few hundred kilometers away."

Hearing the conversation between Director Zhang and Director Wu, Xu Haitang, a clever little boy, immediately turned the disk and transferred the strange-smelling duck dish to Director Wu. There is no glass turntable. After the private room was built, Luo Cheng specially designed such a turntable and asked the carpenters in the factory to make it.

The people who like this design the most are actually Xu Haitang and Li Xiaotong, both of whom work together for a living. Since I have no identity, I follow the rules of eating and try to only pick up the dishes around me. Luo Cheng and the others had status, so even if they got up to pick up food, no one would say anything. But as for them, before this turntable, if they wanted to pick up food, they had to look around in all directions. When they saw no one reaching out to pick up food, they would quickly pick up more food.

But it's different now. The dishes can rotate with the disk, and their potential is unleashed.

"Director Luo, the style of our chairman's favorite braised pork seems to be different from what Master He, Master Liu and others made before."

After seeing Director Wu sandwiching two pieces of strange-flavored duck, Xu Haitang turned a dish of braised pork in front of Luo Cheng, and naturally, the plate of strange-flavored duck followed the rotation and was turned to Xu Haitang and Li Xiaotong. The two of them quickly picked up two pieces without leaving any trace. Master Liu’s strange-flavored duck is really good, and I took another chance this time.

But after all, Xu Haitang was not lying. She had eaten the braised pork cooked by the two chefs in the cafeteria, but today's style and ingredients were obviously different.

Xu Haitang didn't see it, but Luo Cheng did. This was Dongpo Rou's method. It is famous for its soft and glutinous texture that melts in your mouth. It is a famous dish.

In addition to the Dongpo Pork, there is another dish that doesn’t look like it was created by Master He and Sixty Points. Lion head, the lion head here in Anyi is very unauthentic, no different from big meatballs. But today's lion's head is different. It's bright red, and it looks like it's a color mixed with sugar and honey.

Why the lion head here in Ngee Ann is not authentic? It’s mainly a matter of taste. Places that like spicy food tend to have a strong taste, and those who like salty food will have a strong taste. The lion's head made in other places is mainly sweet.

"Yes, this is how Dongpo pork is made."

After Luo Cheng tasted a piece, he turned the wheel to let others taste it, and the others also took turns to taste a piece. When they came to Xu Haitang and the others after a circle, their foodie expressions had already revealed their inner thoughts. No matter how elegant they are, they can't hide the fact that they are just here to eat and drink.

The lion's head is also broken in a pinch, and there is a male spoon, so everyone can use the spoon to get it into the bowl. If you like sweets, the soup can be mixed with rice. If children eat it, even people from Ngee Ann will like it very much. As for everyone here, they just order until they finish the meat. The sweet lion's head soup is better mixed with rice than stewed chicken soup.

And the lion's head soup was cheaper for a certain two people. Now these two girls even have tricks for serving rice. If you see someone who has no rice in their bowl, take the initiative to help fill their bowls with rice, and then fill their own bowls. So if you're not paying attention, you won't be able to see how many bowls they filled and how many bowls they ate.

Luo Cheng was indeed a little curious about today's dish. It probably wasn't the taste style of the two chefs in the cafeteria. It's not that they can't make these two dishes. If they do, the taste will definitely be different.

So Luo Cheng asked someone to call Director He over. Now Director He is also taking care of the work of the cooking chef. When Director He came over, he smiled when he saw Luo Cheng's inquiry. This dish was indeed not made by him and Master Liu, but by the newly recruited master. His craftsmanship was good and Director He could recruit him. The main reason is that he knows this person's situation, and the other reason is that his birth status is not good, and he obviously has good cooking skills. There is no problem in being a big boss's personal home chef, but because of his birth status, no one dares to reuse him.

Of course, even if the ingredients are questionable, if you have skills, there is still no problem in working as a cook in a factory. This was a coincidence. I had originally contacted a factory to work as a cook, but before I could get in, I was intercepted by Director He. Got it from the car factory.

The kitchen is currently organizing kitchen tools and other things in the past two days. Preparatory work will be done tomorrow, and the new window in the canteen will be used again the day after tomorrow. There happened to be a reception dinner today, so I let the new chef show off his skills. The effect was obvious and everyone was very satisfied.

After having enough wine and food, the reception was over. Luo Cheng didn't drink, but the others did. Luo Cheng's excuse for not drinking was that he had to go out at noon and he was not strong enough to drink. Otherwise, Gao Lu would have a drink with everyone and lie in the office for the whole afternoon at most.

There are two foodies here, and the kitchen staff collecting the plates can't get the oil and water out of it. However, Master He's apprentice closed the business today and was very happy. He still had half of a bottle of good wine, so he could honor his master.

"Xiaotong, I heard from the personnel department that a doctor who can treat patients will come to your infirmary tomorrow. According to the rules, doctors are older than nurses. You can't attend factory meetings in the future."

"If you can't participate, don't participate. Haitang, you think you can always participate. The factory is developing so fast, and your department will have a section chief sooner or later. Do you think you can become a section chief with your qualifications?"

"Then~~you said that we can participate in the reception meals in the factory from now on."

"I can't say this, but I feel that Director Luo, Director Zhang, and Director Zhao have no objection to us. But the key depends on the day after tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow? What happened the day after tomorrow?"

"There will be a deputy director in the factory the day after tomorrow. There should be another reception meal in the factory, and the specifications will not be smaller than today's. If the deputy director has no objection then, we can still eat the reception meal. Today's lion head is really delicious. .”

"The deputy director is coming the day after tomorrow, so I won't have dinner tomorrow night. I think the Dongpo meat is good and delicious. Do you have any information about the deputy director and how to deal with it the day after tomorrow?"

"Yes, not many. He is the deputy mayor of Changqing Town, Xincheng County. His other identity is the son of a certain leader in our Ngee Ann City."

"Ah, the son of a big leader. You have to be careful. If he drinks, we have to find an opportunity to toast him."

Li Xiaotong nodded. Sooner or later, she and Xu Haitang would not be the heads of the department. It's just that her infirmary will be earlier. In fact, the infirmary is a department that doesn't even need to attend meetings. The first meeting said that the heads of each department would participate. She and Haitang attended when they saw that their departments were not responsible. Then I felt pretty good and kept participating.

There is no problem in not attending the meeting, but the errand of accompanying the reception dinner cannot be lost. There are so many delicious food. If I can't attend, I won't be able to sleep at night.
