In the second half of the night, the voice of Jia Zhang's cursing could be heard in the courtyard. Her voice was so loud that it seemed as if she was deliberately waking up the residents in the courtyard.
The next day, the news of Jia Dongxu's detention spread throughout the hospital, but no one felt sorry for him.
Xu Damao even set off firecrackers to celebrate.
In the following months, nothing major happened in the courtyard, except that occasionally Jia Zhang could be seen sitting at the door cursing.
This morning.
Chen Jun came to the cafeteria to work as usual.
The heat has subsided and the cafeteria has become more lively than before.
A few days ago, Director Yang came to the kitchen specifically and praised the canteen for its recent good performance, including pig farming, vegetable growing and bread business, all of which have made considerable progress. He then waved his hand and gave everyone a few kilograms of meat coupons.
Therefore, the people in the kitchen are more motivated.
Among the ingredients brought back from the warehouse today, there are quite a few large radishes. There was a bumper harvest of this stuff this year, and the canteen has been making stir-fried radishes for several days in a row.
It was nothing at first, but after eating it for a few days in a row, the workers in the factory started to have rare complaints.
They said there were too many people farting, which affected the environment in the workshop.
This is the first time that Chen Jun has received opinions from workers since he became the canteen director.
Although it was not a complaint letter, Chen Jun still took it seriously.
But radishes are too cheap right now, and Director Song bought a lot of them at one time. It is impossible for him to throw away these radishes just because of a fart.
Chen Jun thought about it and decided not to stir-fry the radish, but to make radish balls instead.
Strictly speaking, this dish is a classic Shandong dish. The radish is grated into shreds, some water is removed and then mixed with flour. Then chopped green onion, ginger and seasonings are added and fried in a pan until golden brown.
This kind of radish meatballs can not only be eaten directly, but also made into meatball soup, which tastes very good.
The process is more complicated than stir-frying radishes, but the people in the kitchen have no objections.
These are fried radish balls, very greasy and they can also benefit from it.
As for the workers, they certainly have no objections.
After Master Liu and Master Li wrote down the recipe for fried radish meatballs for Sha Zhu, Chen Jun took out a big radish and a small knife to start carving it.
After a short while, an exquisite and delicate pagoda appeared in his hand.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that this thing was carved out of a radish." Sha Zhu picked up the exquisite pagoda with great curiosity and looked at it left and right.
Chen Jun waved his hand: "Use it to chop it up and make meatballs. Don't waste it."
“Don’t!”
Sha Zhu looked unwilling, as he was planning to learn Chen Jun's carving skills from this.
Even though he is just a big pot cook now, what chef doesn't want to improve?
The more high-end the dish, the higher the requirements. Not only must the taste be good, but the dish must also be beautiful, with good color, aroma and taste.
Apart from anything else, just using this exquisite pagoda to garnish a dish can earn you an extra two dollars.
"If you want to learn, I'll teach you some other day. Go and fry the radish balls." Chen Jun urged again.
"Okay!"
Sha Zhu looked at the exquisite pagoda with some reluctance, then picked up a kitchen knife and chopped it into shredded radish.
Fried radish balls are not a difficult task for Sha Zhu, but the steps are a bit complicated.
As pot after pot of radish balls came out of the pot, the kitchen was filled with the aroma of frying.
The people in the kitchen looked at the golden meatballs and couldn't help but secretly taste them.
Um!
This tastes unexpectedly delicious.
Not only does it not have any of the astringent taste of radish, but it is actually crispy and delicious, and you can't stop eating it.
But when working in the kitchen, no one would care if you sneak a bite or two, but it would be against the rules if Kuku kept showing off.
In the end, everyone just paid for a portion of radish meatballs, and only then did they feel comfortable and start showing off.
After working for a while until past eleven o'clock, Sha Zhu finally finished frying all the radish balls.
Just when I was about to go drink some water, I saw Liu Lan sitting on the chair with an uncomfortable look on her face.
"Silly, my stomach hurts!"
Um??
Sha Zhu immediately rushed over, held Liu Lan's arm and asked, "What's wrong? Why do you have a stomachache for no reason? Did you eat too many meatballs?"
Liu Lan shook her head. This pain didn't seem like a stomachache.
The experienced Wang Xia came over and asked a few questions, then asked Sha Zhu to take Liu Lan to the hospital as soon as possible and find a car to take her there.
"Are you...going to give birth?"
Sha Zhu was extremely anxious, he ran to the warehouse and pulled a cart to take Liu Lan to the hospital.
But as soon as he ran back to the cafeteria, he was hit on the head by Chen Jun.
Nonsense!
This cart for pulling vegetables was at best a small cart. Liu Lan was taken to the hospital on it, and it must have fallen down countless times during the journey.
In the end, Chen Jun went to the office building, applied for a bus, and took Sha Zhu and the others to the nearest hospital.
......
"No, idiot, can you please stop wandering around? You're almost making me dizzy!"
In the hospital corridor, Chen Jun shouted at Sha Zhu.
Ever since Liu Lan entered the delivery room, Sha Zhu has been turning around in front of him like a clockwork machine, and has been turning around for an hour and a half.
Upon hearing this, Sha Zhu rubbed his head in confusion and said nervously, "I'm so anxious. How can it take so long to give birth to a child? Isn't there going to be any accidents?"
Liu Lan gave birth much earlier than expected, and Sha Zhu, who had never experienced such a thing, was extremely worried.
"Don't be such a pessimist. Liu Lan is in such good health, nothing unexpected could happen to her. Sit down and wait patiently." Chen Jun sighed and could only comfort Sha Zhu not to worry.
In this era, women hold up half the sky. Countless female workers like Liu Lan did not delay giving birth even when they were pregnant, and some even continued to work on the day they gave birth.
Sha Zhu shook his head, indicating that he couldn't sit still, and then started spinning around again.
His mother passed away early, He Daqing ran away with the widow, and there was no elderly person to help at home, so Sha Zhu was more nervous than Jia Dongxu was at that time.
After about another hour, a loud cry suddenly came from the delivery room.
“Wow~~~”
“Wow~~~”
Sha Zhu's heart tightened and he quickly ran to the door of the delivery room.
When the door opened, Sha Zhu couldn't wait to grab a doctor in a white coat and asked, "Doctor, how is my wife?"
"Congratulations, you're going to be a father. Both the child and the mother are safe and sound."
"Becoming a father?? Then can I go in now?" Sha Zhu clenched his fists excitedly, and his heart, which had been hanging for more than two hours, finally settled down.
"Don't worry, the mother will be out soon. Have you prepared everything I asked you to prepare?" the doctor asked.
"It's ready. It's all ready. Our director drove to buy it himself."
At this point, Sha Zhu nodded towards Chen Jun gratefully. Things happened too suddenly and nothing was prepared. If it weren't for Chen Jun's help, he wouldn't have had the time to go shopping.
