Chapter 142: Canteen Evening Show
The people at the construction site had been working for a whole afternoon and were starving.
Fortunately, I bought a few buckets of mung bean soup from Shen Qingyue in the afternoon. It was icy cold and I felt a little better after drinking it.
But by the afternoon, the food I had eaten earlier had already been digested.
I'm so hungry.
In the afternoon, the foreman organized everyone to have dinner.
Foreman Xu, Zhou Jinbao and the others are back.
Some people lined up in front of the water pipe outside to wash their faces, and the sweat on their bodies was like glue, sticking their clothes firmly to their bodies.
Sweat wet and dry, dry and wet, all left sweat marks.
I felt a little better when I arrived at the steel plant cafeteria.
Not only is the place spacious, but the large ceiling fan also blows away the heat from them.
These workers line up at the special window to get their meals.
Some workers, seeing that the line was long, found a nearby stool and sat down to wait, waiting until there were fewer people before going over.
The people at the front of the line were all looking around. The lunch packs were fifty cents each.
"Take two servings and try them first. By the way, do you have any mung bean soup?"
"No, there is only lychee soda." Jiang Yu said from the side.
"Give me a bottle of lychee soda, um... wait a minute, give me two bottles." His small bottle was only 200 milliliters, and he drank it in one gulp.
Not enough to quench your thirst!
Shen Qingyue found a clean small bowl and scooped the rice into it. The rice just out of the pot exuded fragrance. Then she scooped in a spoonful of meat sauce and added a little more oil.
Stir well and add cilantro, chopped green onions, and shredded cabbage core. Add some mashed potatoes to moisten the taste.
Finally, scoop in some peanuts and roll it up with a pancake. Then pass it over. The rice bag is bigger than a fist. Then wrap the second one!
Shen Qingyue started out as a street vendor, and although she has been relegated to the second line recently, her foundation is still there, and she is moving very fast.
Shen Qingyue was mixing rice here, and her hands were in contact with the food, so naturally she couldn't touch the money.
He Zhengchen was asked to go in and collect the money, while Jiang Yu sold soda. The three of them were very busy.
The chef also made some boiled noodles. They were perfect for a cool, summery meal. They sold quite a bit.
Shen Qingyue was busy all the time.
Those who got the lunch packets didn't have time to think and took a bite of them.
The outer skin of the pancake is soft and chewy.
The rice grains are wrapped in salty meat sauce and topped with shredded green onions and cabbage, which not only relieves the greasiness but also adds a touch of crispness and sweetness.
Occasionally, I would eat peanuts in my lunch box, which was like a pleasant surprise and filled my mouth with fragrance.
There is nothing more satisfying than holding a lunch bag, especially for those who do manual labor.
Oh, those who didn’t get to eat it are so anxious.
I saw my coworkers eating with big mouthfuls. It was so delicious. They finished the fist-sized lunch box in just two or three bites.
Before he could even finish swallowing the food in his mouth, he quickly opened the plastic bag and took another vicious bite, wishing his mouth was full.
The person next to him swallowed hard.
Foreman Xu was so angry at his co-workers that he laughed.
While he was sipping his soda, he couldn't help but come over and say, "You're eating like a starving ghost."
When Foreman Xu looked at him just now, he was worried that this man would choke to death.
I couldn't help but ask, "Is it really that delicious?" I've taken them to restaurants before, but I've never seen him like this.
"Delicious." He felt satisfied, especially as he held the lunch bag tightly in his hands. "It would be even better if there was more sauce."
Those who do heavy work, sweat a lot, and have a strong taste in the mouth, so they prefer salty food.
He finished two rice dumplings in less than ten bites. Then he sat down on a chair, enjoying the cool breeze. He felt completely relaxed. "Boss Xu, Miss Shen from the specialty counter here is the real deal. I didn't know you could wrap rice in a pancake before. And it tastes even better than rice."
If you really encounter something urgent, just eat a few bites of lunch.
The others listened to them attentively.
When it was their turn, everyone asked for more sauce.
After making it, I ate it and it was really delicious.
It didn't take long for a line to form. Almost everyone bought two rice packs at a time. The rice was flowing quickly.
Quickly filling a new pot, Shen Qingyue said to Jiang Yu, "Tell Chef Li to buy two more pots of rice."
Although there is still some now, I am afraid that it will not be enough later.
Jiang Yu went over swiftly and relayed the message to Chef Li. Chef Li's head was buzzing. He really couldn't get over this food shortage for a while!
The canteen uses large steamers with various modes, and the fastest one can steam a whole steamer in fifteen minutes. This time I'll get two steamers!
Chef Li doesn't need to do anything, the people below can do it.
But Chef Li couldn't help but write an outrageous number on the kitchen's purchase list: 10,000 kilograms of rice per day.
If this order is handed over, the logistics director will be confused. Let him experience this situation.
Chef Li had mixed feelings.
Shen Qingyue is very busy. Originally, only two construction teams were needed. Foreman Xu currently has more than 100 people and Zhou Jinbao has more than 80 people.
It shouldn't be difficult to prepare meals for more than 200 people.
Who would have thought that we would do more and more.
I saw that there was still a long queue here.
The 300 pancakes from the stall were all gone, so they had to use plastic bowls instead. After mixing the mixture, they ate it with chopsticks!
By the time Shen Qingyue had finished all four pots of rice, there were still quite a few people left. Fortunately, she had told Chef Li in advance that they wanted rice.
Soon the apprentice opposite brought in new food.
Shen Qingyue took this opportunity to quickly wipe the sweat off her face. She saw that the people waiting in line were actually regular customers of the steel mill.
"Why are you here?"
The old customer said, "I just got off work and saw the lights on in the cafeteria. I didn't say anything and just followed over. When I saw the line, I knew there was food available."
He is an old hand at this and has to make it fresh when he gets home from get off work, so he might as well have a bite here.
Many people have the same idea.
So everyone had the same idea.
Shen Qingyue worked for an hour and finally sent these people away. Roughly speaking, she should have made 700 to 800 yuan in such a short time.
Even this hasn't been announced yet. If the workers knew the factory also had dinner at night, they would definitely come over.
Someone had previously written to the factory director, hoping that the canteen could provide meals in the evening, but the factory had been holding back and not agreeing.
Now, thanks to the construction team, I'm afraid I'll have to add dinner later.
…
Zhou Jinbao came to see Shen Qingyue. The weather would be even hotter tomorrow, so he wanted to order some sour plum soup.
Every move of Zhou Jinbao was under the eyes of Foreman Xu.
As soon as Zhou Jinbao left, Foreman Xu said to Shen Qingyue, "Whatever that kid wants to eat or drink, bring some out for us." These people came here with him, so they couldn't go without food and drink.
Shen Qingyue said: "Okay."
She has to save more money these days. She has 35,000 yuan on hand, and she has to save up 50,000 yuan to buy shares in the food factory.
In addition, the steel plant is planning to build houses and a food court, and she also wants to buy some houses and shops for rent.
I don't have any money on hand.
We will add a night canteen tomorrow, which will bring in a lot of extra income.
