"What can you do?"
"I...I can sew and garden."
"Then you can go work in the garment factory. They are still short of a few female workers."
"What about you? What can you do?"
"I can cook. I used to be a chef in a five-star hotel."
"Okay, then you go to logistics."
Miao Xi was seen standing in front of the crowd with a list in his hand, and he called all the women and children over to line up.
Miao Xi asked them their names and specialties one by one, kept records, and then assigned each of them to suitable positions based on vacancies.
Even if some people don't have any special skills, as long as they are willing to work hard and do some hands-on work, they will be assigned a miscellaneous job.
"Everyone, please be quiet. Let me explain the rules to you first. If you want to stay in our base, you have to create value with your own hands and use labor to gain the right to reside in the base." Miao Xi said loudly in the front.
"Of course, we will treat you fairly. As long as you make efforts and contributions, you will get equivalent rewards accordingly. We will never allow people who are lazy and greedy to appear here."
Miao Xi glanced at the crowd and continued, "Remember, laziness is the biggest enemy here. If you want to survive and live well, you can only rely on your own hands."
Hearing this, everyone in the crowd nodded in agreement.
It is not easy to survive in the doomsday, and they are in the base, with food, water, shelter and protection, so of course they have to work hard to stay here.
Miao Xi looked at everyone's positive attitude and nodded with satisfaction.
"Now that everyone understands, go to work according to my previous arrangements. You can always come to me if you have any questions."
Upon hearing this, everyone dispersed and went back to their own posts.
Miao Xi already had a plan in mind. She planned to tell Jiang Mi and ask him to establish a perfect reward mechanism to give certain rewards and encouragement to those who have outstanding performance and contributions at work. This can stimulate everyone's enthusiasm.
"Make way, make way!"
"What are a few men doing in the kitchen? From now on, let us women do the cooking!"
With a shout, a group of middle-aged women took over the entire kitchen.
Everyone was surprised. When they looked up, they saw several women skillfully picking up chopping boards, carrying a bag of fruits and vegetables, rolling up their sleeves and preparing to cook.
"What are you doing?" someone asked puzzledly.
When asked, Liu Ximei smiled shyly and said, "Miao Xi has assigned tasks to us all. From now on, the work in the kitchen will be ours."
As soon as these words were spoken, the men below cheered.
"Great, I don't have to cook anymore!"
"Yes, Sister Liu, you don't know that Lao Chen only knows how to make braised pork and stir-fried seasonal vegetables. We have really had enough of them recently!"
"You still despise me? You didn't even know how to steam rice at first. How dare you criticize me?"
Liu Ximei pursed her lips and smiled, "It's okay. We will cook for you in the future. It won't be too elaborate. It will definitely be delicious home-cooked food."
"Then I'll leave it to Sister Liu!"
Upon hearing this, everyone smiled and handed over the kitchen.
Liu Ximei nodded and started to get busy.
She washed her hands first, then picked up a knife and started to prepare the ingredients.
Simply wash and peel a few eggplants, cut them into pieces, then chop the meat into pieces and put them inside, then fry them in a pan.
Then, take out a few chicken legs from the basket and chop them up, peel the potatoes and cut them into dice, blanch the chicken legs in the pot first, skim off the foam, and finally add some pepper oil, stir-fry them together until half-cooked, add the potatoes, and then put half a bowl of water. After doing all this, cover the lid and simmer.
The other women were not idle either, some were stewing rice, some were making soup.
After a while, the aroma of food came from the kitchen.
The people working outside could not help swallowing their saliva when they smelled the fragrance, and their stomachs began to growl.
At noon, one dish after another, delicious and fragrant, was served on the table.
Everyone looked at the delicious food in front of them and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Someone couldn't help but walk over with a bowl and taste one first.
"Is this really made by Sister Liu? It's so delicious!"
Others also started to serve themselves the rice, and after eating they all praised the meal.
"Yes, this tastes even better than the chef at a five-star hotel!"
"Sister Liu, you are so amazing!"
Liu Ximei was very happy and proud when she heard the compliments from everyone, but she showed her happiness in a subtle way. She said with some restraint, "No, no, these are just some home-cooked dishes, not worth mentioning."
Mother Jiang also scooped up the rice several times in a row. She didn't expect that this ordinary eggplant could be so soft and glutinous, and that potatoes that can be found everywhere could be cooked so deliciously, especially the soup, which was mixed with the rice. Every grain of rice was full of juice, it was so delicious.
He is even worse than Jiang's father, but Jiang's father has spoiled him so much that he can't find any fault with him.
"Sister Liu, your cooking skills are amazing. I dare say that before the end of the world, your cooking skills were at the level of a Michelin restaurant chef!" Mother Jiang came up to Liu Ximei and kept praising her.
Hearing this, Liu Ximei felt even more embarrassed by the compliment, and her smile became even brighter, "Mrs. Jiang, if you like it, I will make it for you every day in the future!"
"That won't work. How can I trouble you every day?" Jiang's mother waved her hand quickly to refuse.
Having said that, I am still looking forward to it.
Liu Ximei said seriously, "Mrs. Jiang, this is nothing to bother you. I'm happy that you like it. Besides, I'm also contributing to our entire base. You see, only when everyone eats well can they have the energy to work, right? Besides, this is my job. From now on, I'll take care of the kitchen."
Upon hearing this, Jiang's mother couldn't contain her excitement.
Liu Ximei not only cooks delicious dishes, but is also such a nice person.
Suddenly, Jiang's mother turned into a fangirl.
"Sister Liu, you are so nice!" Mother Jiang hugged Liu Ximei with love on her face.
Liu Ximei was startled by Jiang's mother's sudden enthusiasm, but she quickly reacted and pushed her away uncomfortably, "Mrs. Jiang, this... this is what I should do."
Liu Ximei treated Jiang Mi as her leader, and she was always a little flattered that her leader's mother was so close to her.
"I'm serious. You're a really nice person and you cook delicious meals. From now on, call me first when you cook. I'll be the first one to show my support."
Liu Ximei smiled again and nodded sincerely, "Mrs. Jiang, that's for sure. I will definitely call you first. Cooking is what I should do."
Seeing this, everyone came over to thank Liu Ximei.
"Sister Liu, thank you. Today's meal is so delicious!"
"Sister Liu, our meals will all depend on you from now on!"
"Sister Liu, you are so nice!"
Liu Ximei felt a little embarrassed by the praise. She smiled and waved her hands, "Hey, what are you doing? Stop praising me. I feel embarrassed. Besides, this is what I should do. Don't thank me."
After hearing this, everyone stopped being so hypocritical and started eating. (End of this chapter)
