Chapter 82 Well-Organized
Shen Qingyue sent her elder sister to school.
She was busy and orderly at the special window of the state-owned factory.
Various dishes are displayed, colorful and fragrant.
Chef Li from the kitchen even came over and asked, "Hey, how many dishes did you cook today?" He had to consider how much rice to cook.
Shen Qingyue said: "It's okay, just like before."
Chef Li immediately understood the plan: "Okay, I'll steam five boxes of rice as usual."
Shen Qingyue responded with a smile.
Chef Li saw Director Jiang as soon as he came out.
Director Jiang even jokingly asked, "Huh? How come the relationship is good again?"
Because of what happened in the past, the feature window has always been neither close nor distant from the kitchen.
Chef Li said: "I was wrong before, now I find Shen Qingyue is also very good."
The day of the barbecue party was the reconciliation of the century.
To be fair, he is not as capable as a little girl like Shen Qingyue.
The fact that they were able to manage and organize such a large-scale event without any problems shows their ability.
When it was busy, Shen Qingyue directly brought over twenty brand new stoves and asked them to help with the baking. It can be seen that this was all within their expectations.
It can be seen that she had thought of all these from the beginning.
Unlike him, he only has the desire to reconcile but no actions to do so.
Shen Qingyue is better than him in both cooking skills and character.
He was really impressed.
Director Jiang said, "That's great." Reconciliation is always better than confrontation.
Chef Li knew that Director Jiang must have come here to talk to Shen Qingyue about something, so he quickly said, "Okay, I'm leaving. If you need anything, come to my place. I'll find you something to cook!"
Director Jiang waved his hand and said, "Okay."
Then he went in to find Shen Qingyue: "Xiao Shen, are you busy?"
When Shen Qingyue saw him coming, she knew something was wrong. Sure enough, when she turned around, she saw Director Jiang's flattering smile.
The kitchen is 80 square meters and has two large freezers. Even if three people stand in them, they won’t be able to turn around.
Seeing Director Jiang had something to say, Shen Qingyue glanced at her watch. The meal wasn't due for another hour.
Said to Director Jiang: "Not busy."
Then she walked towards him and they went to the corridor.
Director Jiang said, "The factory director's idea is to find a time to organize a grand barbecue festival and invite other brother units and leaders in the county to come and try it!"
The main reason was that this barbecue party was such a success that local newspaper reporters started to spread the word. The factory manager said he couldn't stop calling yesterday.
They all asked about barbecue.
It would be so impressive if the steel plant took the lead in organizing a barbecue festival.
The factory had held many cultural festivals in the past, with performances rehearsed for more than half a year, but it didn’t have this kind of effect back then.
It seems that people in the county mainly go there to eat.
He said, "The factory director said we don't need any workers. Our factory playground is bigger than this place. The weather is getting hotter day by day, so let's go outside to warm up."
Shen Qingyue asked, "I wonder if the factory director wants to do this for a long time, or just this once?"
When Director Jiang heard this, he was moved and asked, "What do you mean?"
Shen Qingyue said: "If it's just this once, it's fine. But if it's held regularly, I can't delay the factory employees for my personal business!"
This matter must be figured out clearly to avoid making mistakes later.
Director Jiang said, "I'm mistaken. If this happens frequently, what do you want to do?"
Shen Qingyue said, "How about we set a fixed date, the 7th, 17th, and 27th of every month, and hold it indoors or outdoors. We can recruit family members of factory employees and pay them at a helper rate, daily. I'll cover that part."
Three times a month is not too tiring and can keep everyone fresh.
Anyway, we only have a barbecue once every ten days, so even if it costs a little more, no one will feel too bad.
"This is a great idea, and it also gives the families a chance to make money. It's a win-win situation."
Director Jiang couldn't help but look at Shen Qingyue and smiled: "What's wrong with your brain? It works so fast. It would be great if you could be a propaganda officer in the factory."
Director Jiang liked it more and more as he talked: "My son is not half as smart as you, otherwise I wouldn't have to worry about anything."
Shen Qingyue said: "Director Jiang, if you praise me again, I will be proud."
Director Jiang laughed heartily. "You're so proud! It's better for young people to be confident and generous."
No wonder he admired Shen Qingyue so much. Women in this era were still bound by feudal constraints. When they suddenly saw someone as capable and efficient as Shen Qingyue, they really liked her.
Director Jiang said, "I'll go back and talk to the factory director about this."
"Thank you, Director Jiang."
Director Jiang said, "Don't thank me yet. I have a personal favor to ask you. I have a niece who graduated from a decent high school and was just a few points short of the college entrance exam. My family feels it's a shame and wants her to repeat a few years. But this little girl is stubborn and insists on doing business!"
Director Jiang sighed and said, "Her parents are worried sick. Can you let her come to your place to help and gain some experience?"
There are many sons in his family, and there is only this little girl in the next generation.
I'm thinking about you.
With her education, she could have been assigned to a factory job—high school graduates are valuable these days. But there were few jobs suitable for women in the steel mill.
Shen Qingyue said: "I am wasting my talents here. If she is willing, I have no problem with that."
Director Jiang said, "Okay, I'll tell her, Xiao Shen, thank you so much, regardless of whether this thing works out or not. If you need any help, just tell me directly, you're welcome."
Shen Qingyue said: "As for finding someone..."
Director Jiang asked, "What are your needs?"
Shen Qingyue said: "I am all women here, can you recruit more honest and hardworking women?"
Nowadays, women are more familiar with seasonings in the kitchen, so they can learn quickly and don’t need to be taught from scratch.
Director Jiang said, "Okay, I'll go to the archives and check it out for you. I'm sure I'll find someone who's honest and willing to work."
Nowadays, anyone who can get a job in a state-owned factory has had their family investigated and recommended by the street committee, and it’s almost the same if you count three generations up.
Moreover, the factory area has family housing, and many people have been neighbors for decades. They know each other very well.
Half of the couples in the company are dual-income families, and the other half have unemployed wives.
If I could find a job introduced by the factory, it would at least help supplement the family income.
Shen Qingyue felt relieved when Director Jiang took on the task.
After Director Jiang left, I worked for a while and then took a break at noon.
The pig intestines, a staple dish, were the first to be sold out. The rest of the dishes were also delicious. Shen Qingyue's ham and kohlrabi dish became another favorite.
In the cafeteria, the old diners were extremely satisfied. The kohlrabi roots were old and bitter, but I don't know how Shen Qingyue fried them so crispy and tender.
Paired with delicious ham, everyone scrambled for it.
“I can’t get enough of the dishes in the speciality window.”
"It's great to have a little change every day. I don't even have to wait until noon to guess what I'm going to eat."
"Can you tell the logistics director why it's so hot? Could you please turn on some more ceiling fans?"
"It's not that it's hot, it's that there are too many people. Luckily, someone from our group got a seat. Otherwise, there would be no place."
Everyone agreed with this.
The cafeteria with more than 3,000 employees was full, which had never happened before.
I thought the special window would be quiet for a while if it stopped selling spicy hot pot and steamed buns, but who would have thought that these people seemed to have gotten used to it.
Even if there is no spicy hot pot, they still come. And those outsiders are so thieves.
People are rushing to buy hard dishes like pig intestines.
My goodness, even their own people in the factory can’t compete with them.
