"Udon noodles are here!" Grandma Qiao brought two large bowls of steaming udon noodles from the kitchen.
Su Keke had already eaten ten pieces of sushi without realizing it, but the sight of the fragrant udon noodles still made her very hungry.
"Wow! It smells so good!" Su Keke blew on it and immediately picked up a few noodles and put them into her mouth. "Hot... hot, hot, hot..."
Su Keke's entire face looked like she was doing yoga, and she swallowed the noodles in one gulp.
"You kid! Freshly cooked noodles must be hot, eat them slowly first."
Grandma Qiao picked up a sushi, took a bite and said with a smile.
"No, the aroma of this noodles is too tempting." Su Keke also smiled at Grandma Qiao, picked up the chopsticks, picked up the noodles and stirred them back and forth.
…
In the base dormitory, today's lunch is finally not steamed buns and pickles. Li Zheng specifically asked Manager Zhou to tell the kitchen on the construction site to prepare some meat for lunch.
The chef at the construction site, Old Huang, was originally planning to make steamed buns with pickled mustard tuber, but was informed by Manager Zhou, who also said that it was Minister Li who gave the order personally.
There was no other choice, so he had to pick up the meat that had just been delivered from the breeding base today.
Due to acid rain this month, the breeding base suffered considerable losses, so the amount of vegetables and meat supplied to the construction site was much less.
Master Huang follows the principle of saving as much as possible, and basically eats steamed buns with pickled vegetables during the week, and occasionally eats rice with some vegetables and meat for one or two days.
Since the leader had spoken today, Master Huang had to prepare meat for everyone. The staple food was still steamed buns, and for the dishes, he was going to cook a stir-fried meat with black fungus and a garlic-flavored mushroom dish.
Speaking of black fungus, when the construction site was just opened, we were given 10 bags of dried black fungus. One bag could be fried with a lot of it if you soak it in warm water. Although the leader asked to eat meat, we couldn't just cook it into meat, otherwise one month's meat supply for the construction site would be eaten up in one day.
The vegetable department has sent over a lot of mushroom vegetables these days, but they were all leftovers from the material trading office.
Each one is small and has worm holes in it, and some have even turned yellow. They have to be eaten quickly, otherwise they will go bad in two days.
There are only two people cooking in the construction site kitchen. Master Huang is the main person in charge, and there is a kitchen assistant named Ding Zi.
Now Dingzi has soaked the black fungus and is busy washing a large basin of mushrooms. Lao Huang is also very good at cutting meat. It won't take long before he has cut a large piece of meat into thin and fine pieces.
The two of them worked for more than an hour and finally prepared lunch for more than 50 people on the construction site.
Wang Gang and Xiaojun took Chen Da and Lao Li's lunch boxes and lined up in the crowd. Lin Xiao and others lined up behind them.
"Boss, what do you think we're going to have for lunch? I seem to smell meat." Mengzi just heard the whistle for lunch at the base. The wound on his back didn't hurt anymore. He jumped out of bed and followed everyone to get lunch.
"You're dreaming. You can eat meat and have some porridge to drink." Another one stood on tiptoe to see what dishes everyone ordered.
"Oh my god! There is really meat! I saw it. The guy just now had shredded pork in his lunch box."
"Can you guys be more low-key? Haven't you ever eaten meat? Be careful, there are Brother Tian's spies here too."
Lin Xiao lowered his voice and reprimanded his three incompetent subordinates.
Xiaojun, who was standing in front of them, seemed to have heard the words "Brother Tian" and looked back at Lin Xiao and the others with a bit of suspicion.
Brother Tian knew about it. He was the bully of Lingcheng. Before the natural disaster, there were bars, KTVs and bathhouses, all of which were illegal places that were selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton.
Things got even worse after the natural disaster. He himself rarely showed up, but his men burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil.
Xiaojun's old residential building was robbed. He still remembers that the only bag of rice and a few cotton clothes in their family were stolen.
"What are you looking at!" Lin Xiao glared at Xiaojun, and Xiaojun was so scared that he quickly turned around and followed Wang Gang forward.
In fact, Lin Xiao was also very panicked. He saw the person in front of him kept looking back while queuing.
I thought, "Why is he staring at us? I can't be a bad guy. Was this guy sent by Brother Tian to find them?"
Amid Lin Xiao's self-doubt, it was finally their turn in the food queue.
Since they had just arrived today, Master Huang, who was serving the meals, told them that they had to go to Manager Zhou to get lunch boxes before they could get their meals.
"Why didn't you tell us earlier that you wanted to get the lunch boxes? We waited in line for so long for nothing, and now we have to queue again. Who will be responsible for our time loss?"
Lin Xiao's stomach was already growling with hunger. He finally got his turn in line, but he still had to go get his lunch box himself, which made him so angry that his gangster temper flared up.
"Yes! We don't care. You have to prepare our meals when it's our turn. It doesn't matter if it's a lunch box or not. You can just find us a bowl and chopsticks. We won't mind."
Lin Xiao's men also started to shout, completely unaware of the people around them looking at them as if they were fools.
"Are these young masters going to the countryside to experience life?"
"I think so too. The new guy is so arrogant. He thinks our Master Huang is a vegetarian!"
"But they dare to cause trouble on official territory, so they must have extraordinary backgrounds! People like us will do whatever we are told to do, who dares to confront them so forcefully?"
"If you want to eat, go to Manager Zhou's container to get your lunch box. If you don't want to eat, don't block others!"
Master Huang rolled his eyes and shouted, "Next!"
"Oh my god! Master Huang is still so awesome!"
"Hey! Don't block me, we still have to go to work after eating!"
Seeing that Master Huang ignored these people, the people queuing behind also pushed forward, pushing Lin Xiao and his group of four out of the line.
"Boss... Boss..." Mengzi was hit on the back and grimaced in pain, accidentally shouting out the word "Boss".
"Idiot, I told you to call me brother! What boss is there here?"
Lin Xiao slapped Mengzi on the head and said harshly.
"Brother Lin, what should we do? The people here don't care about us at all. Are we just going to put up with this?"
Another subordinate leaned forward and asked softly.
"What can we do if we can't bear it? Do you think we are still in the underworld? This is an official base. Let's go! Get the lunch box!"
Lin Xiao frowned and followed the other newcomers to get lunch boxes from Manager Zhou.
"Gangzi, do you think I'm right? They really could be hooligans, but I don't know why they came to the construction site. Could it be that Brother Tian is planning to take over the construction site?"
Xiaojun held two lunch boxes and pulled Wang Gang aside and spoke quietly.
"Don't think it's so scary. Even if they are Brother Tian's men, so what? No matter how powerful Brother Tian is, can he compete with the government? This is an official construction site. If they dare to mess around, someone will come to deal with them."
"Let's go back first. Uncle Chen and Uncle Li are probably hungry. We can discuss it with them when the time comes. It's okay, don't worry!"
Wang Gang also held two lunch boxes and pulled the anxious Xiaojun towards his dormitory.
