Bai Guoguo closed the door, carried a load on his shoulders, one end filled with vegetables, the other end filled with water, and a large basket in his hand.
I went to deliver the food in this unsteady manner. Since it was my first time and I was not used to carrying a load, it took me a lot of effort to get it to the construction site.
It’s not that she doesn’t have the strength. She is now as strong as an average adult man. The main reason is that she hasn’t figured out the technique to carry a load.
The load she was carrying was wobbly and looked unstable, and she almost tipped over several times.
After finally reaching the construction site, she put down her burden under a big tree and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, big brothers, it's time to eat, come and eat!"
Bai Guoguo used his hands as a loudspeaker and shouted loudly to the men on the construction site.
A dozen men, young and old, heard the shouting and knew that Bai Zhiqing had come to deliver food.
Everyone put down their work, washed their hands and feet in the stream before coming to eat.
The people Captain He found to help her were all honest people, and with He Gang's good brother He Hongjun leading the team, the results of this morning's work were really gratifying.
They had cleared all the weeds from the vacant lot and even dug a large section of the foundation, which showed that no one was lazy.
"Brother, you guys are amazing! You've done so much work in just one morning. Eat more later! There's food in the bucket!"
Bai Guoguo distributed bowls to the men while praising them non-stop, telling them not to be polite and to eat as much as they wanted.
"Oh, there's still meat. Bai Zhiqing is so generous and open-minded!"
"The steamed buns are so soft and fluffy, and the dishes are so authentic!"
"Exactly. Not only is this stew delicious, but this small cold dish is also bright and fresh. Bai Zhiqing is a great cook!"
The men felt happy to hear Bai Guoguo's praise. Who wouldn't feel good when their hard work is recognized and praised?
In addition, the food that Bai Guoguo delivered was delicious and the quantity was large, so everyone praised it highly.
"Thank you for your hard work, big brothers. If you like, please eat more. Don't be shy. Do you have enough steamed buns? If not, there are more at home!"
Bai Guoguo smiled and gave everyone a full bowl of stew.
She prepared a lot of dishes. She filled half a large wooden barrel with them, and a large bowl could hold more than 20 bowls. She also added plenty of oil, salt and seasonings, which made the men very satisfied.
"Enough to eat, enough to eat, Bai Zhiqing, your cooking skills are really this!"
He Hongjun's mouth was full with food, and he didn't forget to give Bai Guoguo a thumbs up.
"Haha, I'm glad you like it. I asked Sister Zhang for advice on how to make this stew. I hope you didn't mess it up!"
In order to find an excuse to cook Northeastern cuisine, Baiguo had asked Mrs. Zhang for advice several times. It is no surprise that the Northeastern food he cooks now tastes delicious.
This time, in order to build a house, Bai Guoguo asked the team leader to invite a group of skilled builders.
Each person was paid one yuan a day and provided with one meal at noon. In order to cook for these people, the team leader also granted her half a month's leave.
Of course, there will be no salary during the leave period, but in order to reward Bai Guoguo for her contribution to the project, the team leader paid her one month's salary, benefits, and bonus in advance yesterday.
When discussing this matter yesterday evening when measuring the homestead land, Bai Guoguo asked the team leader to keep the money and refund or compensate him after the house was built.
The people hired by the team leader worked very hard. Judging from the progress, the foundation pit can be dug this afternoon and the foundation stones can be laid tomorrow.
After eating the delicious meal made by Bai Guoguo, the old men worked harder in the afternoon.
When Bai Guoguo went to deliver the mung bean soup again in the afternoon, they had already dug the foundation pit and were transporting stones to the construction site.
"Everyone, take a break. Come and have some mung bean soup. Come on, take a break. Drink some mung bean soup before you get back to work!"
Bai Guoguo looked at the group of men working hard and sweating, and sighed in his heart that people nowadays are really not lazy at all when working, they are so honest.
What she didn't know was that these men didn't work so hard at other jobs.
Everyone worked so hard to repay the tea she brought them, the filling meals with meat, and Bai Guoguo's respectful and polite attitude towards them.
Nowadays, many city dwellers look down on country people, and those educated youth who came from the city also looked down on these peasants at first.
Only this young educated youth, Xiaobai, brought in big orders for their brigade's brick kiln not long after going to the countryside, and also sold their local mountain products to Harbin.
Moreover, Bai Zhiqing was different from others. He did not look down on these country people, and their hard work was respected and thanked by Bai Zhiqing.
Although these grown men are careless, they have a scale in their hearts to judge who is good to them and who respects them.
So the men naturally worked very hard for Bai Guoguo, otherwise they would not be worthy of Bai Zhiqing coming to bring them food and drink again and again.
Look, they brought us some sweet mung bean soup. Drinking a bowl of it is cool and sweet, which really quenches your thirst and satisfies your cravings!
