Chapter 68 Everything is delicious
As soon as Shen Qingyue arrived at the cafeteria, she wrote on the small blackboard next to the window that they would not be making spicy hot pot today and would be serving boxed lunches instead.
Malatang can be served raw!
The food was plentiful today, not only the vegetables but also everyone's favorite pickled radish.
Shen Qingyue's rice is bean rice and mixed grain rice.
There are several quick dishes, such as Mapo tofu and eggplant with sauce, which are prepared. If they are not enough, we will fry them on the spot.
Sister Chunxing and Sister Ying put the soda in the freezer.
Shen Qingyue: "Just chill it for half an hour, take it out and replace it with a new one." Soda in a glass bottle will easily explode if it is frozen for a long time.
The weather is getting hot now, how can we do without iced soda?
This soda tastes completely different when it's chilled and when it's not.
There are 3,000 people in the cafeteria, and even with fans at noon, it's still very hot because of the crowds.
The people in the kitchen next to them came up to report when they saw that Shen Qingyue had changed to a boxed lunch.
Chef Li made a prompt decision: "Steam five more boxes of rice." Five large steaming boxes would be enough to feed more than a thousand people.
When Chef Chen's former apprentice saw how well Chef Li was cooperating with Shen Qingyue and the others, he couldn't help but grumble, "He's only boosting others' ambitions and destroying his own prestige!"
The person next to him immediately pushed him with his arm: "Be quiet, don't let the uncle hear."
Even though Chef Li doesn't have the title of head chef, he is still the one in charge of them.
…
Director Jiang of the Workers' Union is now used to it. He comes to Shen Qingyue's place every day to check on her, wandering around and asking if she needs anything.
He proposed to recruit Shen Qingyue to open the window, which can be said to be his greatest contribution.
The cafeteria is now nearly 80% full. There weren't so many people coming to the cafeteria before.
But today, he found a problem as soon as he arrived. He quickly went to Shen Qingyue to report: "Miss Shen, you are not making spicy hot pot today." He said in a tactful tone.
Shen Qingyue said: "Well, you can make a living."
Director Jiang said, "I'm worried that our factory employees don't know about this and that it might cause trouble again."
Nowadays, most people who buy fresh buns from state-owned factories buy them for relatives and friends. Plus, the long queues at noon have already caused quite a bit of complaints.
He was afraid that people wouldn't be able to accept it if he just changed it to food.
Shen Qingyue said: "There is no standardized planting of small vegetables. Now the small green vegetables in several nearby villages are almost sold out."
This was also something she had to consider, as Malatang was too dependent on bok choy.
I can still do this for a few more days, and then I'll close the stall and it will be the same as it is now. It's better to use Malatang raw buns and do it step by step to give everyone some time to adapt.
Director Jiang could understand what Shen Qingyue said.
After all, no one knew that Malatang would become so popular.
Director Jiang said, "Bring some people here at noon to persuade them to stop causing trouble." He was still unsure.
Shen Qingyue said: "I'm sorry to trouble you."
Director Jiang said, "You're welcome."
Before the lunch bell rang, everyone was already eager to rush to the cafeteria.
I was afraid that I would be late and miss the queue.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, the bell at the steel mill suddenly rang, and everyone rushed out. A sea of people rushed to the cafeteria!
The more people there are, the more nervous Director Jiang becomes.
He would jog to the cafeteria.
As expected, the first person who rushed to the cafeteria was dumbfounded.
The original Malatang window has been changed into a food window.
I wanted to go up and ask, but immediately saw the mountain of spicy hot pot dumplings.
I understood Shen Qingyue's meaning immediately without asking.
Those who arrived later were ecstatic and rushed to buy food.
"Give me one serving of each dish. The pig intestines are one dollar each. The dried radish is one dollar each."
Shen Qingyue raised her head and saw that it was indeed a returning customer who used to sell lunch boxes at her stall.
He quickly and skillfully prepared a box lunch.
After buying it, he said, "Two more spicy hot pot dumplings and a soda."
Shen Qingyue asked: "Do you want the soda cold or not?"
"Cold."
I quickly opened the lid and held it in my hand. It felt so cool, and my mood became relaxed.
I took a large plate of food and went next door to get some white rice.
After a sip of soda, I felt refreshed, and then ate some familiar food. I felt comfortable everywhere.
He was now doubly ecstatic.
Malatang and boxed lunches are both his favorites. Now they are all back. It feels like God has heard what he is thinking and it is exactly what he wants.
Although many people like to eat malatang, there are also many who like to eat boxed lunches.
It is especially easy to identify returning customers. They basically order all the dishes and then buy the pig intestines for one dollar.
After the dishes were served, the table was full. Everyone around asked, "Can you finish it?"
"If you can't finish it, take it away and eat it at night. It won't be wasted anyway."
There are also some people who come to the steel plant specifically for eating malatang, but when they get there, they find that there is no malatang. Before they can even get angry about being cheated, their stomachs start growling because of the unfamiliar aroma.
Obediently, I took the money and bought a box lunch. Since I was already here, I had to eat before I got angry.
