Chapter 75 The Fellowship Begins
When we got to work in the afternoon, the atmosphere became even more intense.
The logistics director came over and cleared out the tables and chairs in the middle, and placed fruit on top of them, along with some potted flowers that he had gotten from who knows where!
The banner above clearly read the slogan of the social gathering.
Shen Qingyue also did it in a professional manner, hanging the barbecue menu directly on the table.
Meat skewers are 50 cents for ten, vegetable rolls are 20 cents for ten, and the amount of heart tube, belly meat, fat and lean meat all depend on the price of the skewers. Grilled eggplant is 50 cents, grilled fish is 3 yuan per piece, and grilled tofu is 50 cents per portion.
Affordable price and easy to understand.
Seeing that it was almost time to get off work, the logistics director went out to greet him.
This time the friendship with the hospital was on a grand scale. The factory director not only invited the hospital leaders, but also invited reporters from the county newspaper to report on the whole process!
It was not even five o'clock and the entire steel plant was already in a state of restlessness.
Everyone had no interest in working. Today's team leader and line leader were very easy to talk to, and arranged for the finishing work around 4 o'clock!
After all, the factory is full of large machines. If you are not careful and an accident occurs, a good thing will turn into a bad thing.
For safety reasons, we finished work early.
The factory was closing for the day, but it was not yet time, so everyone gathered in groups of three or four to chat, and no one was enforcing discipline.
Soon, applause was heard outside.
Immediately, everyone looked out the window. They saw several cars approaching, and all the passengers getting out were young and beautiful women.
Except for a few positions where women work, the steel plant is completely a "monk's temple". How can I bear to see so many female colleagues?
The people in the factory were so excited that they leaned on the windows to see what was happening.
The married people in the company were full of superiority and said, "Oh, you haven't seen the world."
No one cares about him.
Because of today, three water heaters in the bathhouse broke down yesterday, all for today.
It was almost time to get off work, and those conceited men took out their precious mousse and smeared it on their heads.
Some even asked someone to find the bell-bottom pants and sunglasses they bought from the provincial capital, and put them on to look sexy and feel good about themselves.
"Hey, Lao Si, do you still have that dual-cassette recorder? Let's play some disco."
"Wow, if you want to die, don't drag me into this. The leaders are all here today. It would look so dishonest if someone saw us."
After watching enough, they came back from the window and told others about it in vivid detail.
"I don't know where the logistics director found this red carpet, but it looks pretty real."
"I'll go to the cafeteria later."
"What are you going to do? You're not looking for a partner."
"There is barbecue in the cafeteria." I didn't get to eat it last time, so I must eat it this time.
Others agreed and echoed: "Yes, you guys talk about yours, and we eat ours."
Those who are looking for a partner express disdain for their thoughts.
The steel plant’s social gatherings are always held after get off work, and no one is prohibited from attending.
Director Jiang from the workers' union said that meat skewers are available at the special window.
Those who had eaten it last time praised it highly, so this time they had to try it themselves.
By the way, I'm looking at my colleagues at work looking for partners. It's interesting to see them all like birds courting.
The bell for the end of work rang on time. Except for a small number of employees who left work as usual, the rest of the steel mill employees went to the cafeteria.
It was a huge crowd of people. Quite imposing.
One of the team leaders of the hospital said, "Oh, you guys are taking this too seriously." With so many men, the female colleagues in their unit must be picking and choosing.
"Of course."
The hospital staff lamented, "There are too many wolves and too little meat. Only the most outstanding men can marry the women in our hospital."
The factory manager greeted him, "Of course."
In the intervals between speeches, reporters were snapping photos.
The factory manager spoke casually for a few moments. He asked the men who had signed up to come out and then said, "For this social gathering, we've specially organized a barbecue at the special window. If you've found someone you like, come and have some food and drinks. I hope you all have a great time!"
As soon as the factory director finished speaking, applause broke out.
Some clever people had already occupied the special window, waiting for the food to start. They quickly went over to order the skewers.
"Ten meat skewers, ten vegetable rolls, one grilled fish, and one sizzling tofu."
"Give me thirty skewers."
More than 20 barbecue chefs on Shen Qingyue's side have been preparing for the entire afternoon, just waiting for this moment.
The meat was placed on the burning charcoal. The juices were forced to drip onto the charcoal, making a sizzling sound. In an instant, a strange aroma began to emerge in large quantities.
In an instant, the attention of the entire cafeteria was drawn to it.
This time, Shen Qingyue had learned from her experience with Malatang and also gave them wooden number plates. After ordering, those who had finished could find a place to sit, and someone would bring it to them later.
Soon the place was packed with people.
The charcoal fire had been prepared long ago, and it cooked quickly. Bunches of skewers of meat were sent out, attracting the attention of the female colleagues in the hospital.
Five o'clock in the afternoon is when I'm hungry, and if I see barbecue, my mouth will water.
Soon someone started eating.
"Delicious." The barbecued meat was divided into many parts. I grabbed a handful of skewers and put them into my mouth one by one. My mouth was full of oil. It was so satisfying.
The vegetable rolls were also delicious, with scallions and cilantro inside and dried tofu brushed with a honey sauce. It was refreshing and refreshing, and after finishing the meat, I had a bite of the vegetable rolls, and I felt like I could still eat a lot of meat skewers.
It’s a pity that no matter how much I buy, my colleagues will take a few strings away.
“It smells so good.”
"Oh, I haven't seen the factory so lively in a long time."
Soon, a man came over with a crucian carp on a grill and said, "Number 33 is ready."
It takes some time to roast the crucian carp, and the fish was finally served after the people had finished eating the meat skewers and vegetable rolls.
But as soon as I took a bite I knew it was worth the wait.
For the sake of this delicious and sweet fish meat, I am willing to accept a few more bones.
"Wow, this fish can be grilled too." Every colleague who has taken a bite of the fish has to line up for one, it's so delicious.
The barbecue window was incredibly busy. The male colleague on the blind date was in a dilemma: on the one hand, he wanted to chat with the female colleague, but on the other hand, he also wanted to queue up for some skewers. It was a double bind.
But soon, I saw the chubby male colleague who was sweating profusely after being squeezed at the special window went directly to a beautiful female nurse, took a wooden sign, and said, "Hello, our special barbecue is good, I would like to treat you to some." Sweat flowed down his cheeks as he spoke.
The female nurse lowered her head and nodded.
Is this okay?
The blind date men from other steel mills seemed to have opened their Ren and Du meridians.
Not caring about her brand new leather shoes and towering hairspray, she followed suit and said, "I'll treat you to barbecue, just wait." Then she squeezed into the big group.
While entertaining the hospital leader, the factory director secretly observed the male employees in his factory who were not good at dating. Seeing their performance, he smiled with satisfaction.
Finally I get it!
