Chapter 91 Comments and Suggestions Open a new window
Yu Zhile and Zhang Wenxin looked at each other.
The Duck Voice thought he had grasped their pain point and made a big fuss about the people in the sideline group eating powder.
"Why do you get to eat?" he asked loudly, spitting everywhere. "You can eat for free, but I can't keep the bill? Why? Why?"
No matter how loudly he talked about the same things, the scene he imagined of everyone turning their guns on the sideline group did not occur.
Most people remained silent, and now they had an inexplicable trust in Zhile and Zhang Wenxin.
Only a few people were instigated by Aunt Huang and the old bald man and joined in questioning the two loudly in their hoarse voices.
In their minds, the work of the sideline workers is easier than theirs, but their work points are almost the same. If they can still eat noodles for free, it is really unfair.
"Are you done?" Yu Zhile glanced at the drooping voice, "Then it's our turn."
As soon as she finished speaking, the captain's daughter Yu Chuyue walked out of the crowd.
"The noodles they eat are paid for with rice. What I have in my hand are the records." She opened the notebook in her hand.
Then, Yu Chuyue read the contents one by one to everyone.
Except for Yu Zhile, Zhang Wenxin and Ge Tai, the others in the sideline group are the girls who proposed separation last time.
The old branch secretary was afraid that their parents would make trouble behind their backs, so he did not let them take all the food home, but only allowed them to take a week's worth of food at a time.
Since the second time they set up the stall, the stale rice used by the sideline group to make rice noodles was taken from their food rations.
"This calculation is wrong. Let's not talk about the three people who didn't have any food stored." Yu Haiyao retorted, "The others don't contribute more than a pound of rice at a time, and a pound of old rice costs less than 20 cents. How can they offset the cost of the noodles they eat at 30 cents a bowl?"
When the duck-voiced man saw someone objecting, he quickly agreed, even though he didn't understand, "That's right, that's not right."
"Yu Zhile and Zhang Wenxin provided the oil coupons, and Ge Tai held several positions." Yu Chuyue ignored his question, "The total value of the oil coupons and rice has exceeded the money they spent on noodles."
Yu Haiyao said angrily: "You can't count it this way."
Yu Chuyue ignored him and walked to Yu Zhile.
This afternoon, Yu Zhile found her and invited her to join the side job group. She is now the accountant of the side job group.
"You, can't do this--" Yu Haiyao's words were choked in his throat by the old branch secretary's light glance.
The old branch secretary said, "Let's vote again. Raise your hands if you agree to kick them out of the sideline group."
Three seconds later, everyone raised their hands.
The old branch secretary announced the results, and Gong Yachang and others collapsed to the ground.
After the meeting, everyone went home, spitting at them as they passed by.
"You deserve it. You owe me so much. You want to ruin the business and make sure everyone has no money to share."
"Before it was released, people like you would have to be severely beaten."
Yu Zhile and his group didn't even look at them and left.
Suddenly, a crisp bell rang, and a bicycle with a crooked route rushed towards them.
The person in the back seat of the car shouted in horror: "Brother Tianhe, didn't you say you can ride a bike?"
"Aren't I riding it?" Huo Tianhe turned his head to look at him.
The front of the car tilted to one side and the front wheel happened to hit a big rock, scaring the man into screaming.
"Tianhe." Chen Zhao waved at him.
Huo Tianhe slammed the brakes, the wheels kicked up a cloud of sand on the loose mud, and the person in the back seat hurriedly jumped out of the car.
Chen Zhaoying stepped forward and asked, "Are you here to see me?"
"Yes, the factory will be recruiting in a few days. Anyone can sign up. As long as you pass the assessment, you can become a worker." Huo Tianhe's voice rose, "You, all of you come and sign up."
What he didn't say was that this news was kept secret by some people and he had overheard it.
Hearing this, the people around slowed down their pace and pricked up their ears to listen.
"Canning factory, remember to take the exam at nine o'clock the day after tomorrow morning." Huo Tianhe glanced at the reactions of others and raised his voice a few degrees.
After saying that, he glanced at Yu Zhile and rode away again, leaving everyone with only his crooked back walking away and his friends' exclamations.
The educated youth also heard the news and discussed the issue of asking for leave in a low voice.
Until the next day, the villagers were still discussing the cannery's recruitment, and many people decided to give it a try.
"Chu Yue, aren't you going to take the exam?" Zhang Wenxin asked.
This morning, the fishing team, led by Yu Haizong, went out to sea for the first time, while Yu Zhile and the other two drove a ox cart and waited for them to return on the shore.
A small tent made of tattered clothes was set up on the top of the ox cart, blocking most of the sunlight for the three people lying on it.
Yu Chuyue peeked at the blue sky through the small hole and said with a smile: "What's so good about being a worker? Why not start a sideline group with you guys?"
After the meeting, Yu Zhile handed over all the accounts to her. The side business group made more money than she had imagined, and she felt that developing the side business group was more challenging.
"Then work with us to make Haiyu brand known to people all over the country." Zhang Wenxin smiled brightly.
“Le—Le—”
"Wen-xin-"
A small boat appeared on the sea in the distance, and the people on the boat waved and shouted.
The three of them got off the car hurriedly, and soon the boat arrived in front of them.
"We have a good harvest today." Yu Haizong had a rare smile on his face.
Yu Baiwei and the others were all blushing from the sun, but they were very happy. They excitedly said in unison, "There are four big baskets."
The baskets in Haiyu Village are very big and filled to the brim, and the seafood is still very fresh.
The fish on the top layer were shaking their tails, and the shrimps and crabs were struggling to climb out of the basket.
The three of them helped to lift the baskets to the shore. They had prepared six large wooden barrels to transport the seafood, which were barely enough to hold them.
"Okay, be careful." Yu Haizong helped to fix the wooden barrel and reminded.
Yu Zhile responded: "Okay, you guys go back and rest first."
This time, Yu Chuyue went along to familiarize herself with the handover process, and the transportation matters were then left to her and the backup team members.
Zhang Wenxin was just there to join in the fun.
The loaded ox cart moved slowly, and the three of them did not arrive at Haidong Town until around ten o'clock.
Zhang Hailan waited for them at the door. When she saw them from a distance, she shouted into the store, "Master, Lele and the others are here."
After hearing this, Hu Laosan dropped the work at hand and went out to answer it.
After the money and goods were handed over, Yu Zhile followed him into the kitchen, ready to teach him how to make the sauce for spicy fried seafood, but found that Hu Laosan seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Brother Hu San, just tell me if you have anything to say." She said bluntly.
Hu Laosan sighed and said, "You also know that the restaurant is going to expand. Yesterday, the boss drank the lemon tea you made and asked me to think of some new drinks. I don't know much about these, so I wanted to ask you."
"This is a small matter. I have many drink recipes here." Yu Zhile responded, and then listed more than a dozen drinks like a menu.
Hu Laosan was very interested when he heard the strange name.
"The beverage formula is a small matter. I want to talk to you about expansion." Yu Zhile expressed his opinion, "I don't suggest simply expanding the venue. I think we should open a new window."
Then she told Hu Laosan her idea about the new window.
She prepared three plans, Malatang, Chuanchuanxiang and Mala Xiangguo, and explained the three business models to him in detail.
“It’s quite interesting to choose your own dishes and then process them.” Hu Laosan touched his chin.
Yu Zhile continued: "We can open another small window to sell iced drinks in the summer and hot drinks in the winter."
"Do you have any requirements? I'll tell the leader then." Hu Laosan thought for a while and felt that her idea was feasible.
Yu Zhile replied: "The ingredients for the new window are provided by Haiyu Village, and the apprentices for these two windows are given priority to people from Haiyu Village."
"Okay." Hu Laosan agreed immediately.
He felt that this request was not excessive, but rather too reasonable, and was thinking about asking for some more benefits for her.
After that, the two stopped talking about the matter and focused their attention back on learning how to cook seafood.
After the seafood was processed, Yu Zhile taught him how to make the sauce.
"If you put too much red pepper, it will be too salty, and if you put too much yellow pepper, it will be too spicy." She first told Hu Laosan the final recipe, and then told him the various attempts in the process of adjusting the recipe. "The sauce can be prepared in advance and can be kept for about two days."
Heat oil and fry minced garlic until fragrant, then add in sauce. The chopped red and yellow peppers will roll in the boiling oil, bringing out a rich fresh pepper flavor.
"This tastes good." Hu Laosan's nostrils twitched and he commented, "It's hard to learn."
Yu Zhile responded: "The previous flavor was too simple, and people who are familiar with it can tell the difference right away."
Then, she asked Hu Laosan to scoop up the sauce, stir-fry the onions, ginger, garlic and dried chilies, add sauce for seasoning, and then pour the shrimps into the pot.
The bubbling sauce seeps down the back of the shrimp and gradually spreads to every corner.
The gray-black shrimp slowly curls up and turns into an attractive orange-red color.
After being roasted under high heat, the shellfish meat slowly shrinks and squeezes out sweet juice, making the taste of the sauce more complex.
The spicy fried seafood came out of the pot and Yu Zhile brought it to the front counter.
The news that the state-owned restaurant would offer free food tasting on Wednesdays had already spread throughout Haidong Town. At this moment, the counter was filled with people, who swallowed their saliva as they watched Yu Zhile approach.
"Come one by one, don't be in a hurry, don't push or squeeze." Hu Lan shouted loudly to maintain order.
Jiang Rong was the first to eat. He poked a shrimp with a bamboo stick and skillfully dipped it in the soup before putting it into his mouth.
The moment your teeth touch the shrimp meat, the rich sauce splashes in your mouth, and your taste buds are constantly assaulted by the fresh and spicy flavors.
"Not bad, the meat is tender and the soup is spicy and rich." He shook his head and sighed.
After tasting it, the others all showed an intoxicated look on their faces.
"Little girl, your cooking skills are amazing. No wonder you can convince the third brother." Jiang Rong walked in front of Yu Zhile.
Yu Zhile responded with a polite smile.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Rong stared at her eyes for a long time, and his eyes seemed to be recalling the past through her.
"Hello?" Yu Zhile was quite confused.
Jiang Rong suddenly came back to his senses, and said with a slightly apologetic smile: "Excuse me, when you smile, your eyes are exactly the same as Nianci's, more like her than Peilan's."
