After distributing the items, Lin Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to start making meat sauce and some meatballs.
She had plenty of ingredients in the space, so she made some fish balls and pork balls. She planned to keep some for herself to use in hot pot during the Chinese New Year, and let the rest be given to them to try.
The meatballs I made myself were made with real ingredients, and their texture was quite different from the starchy ones of later generations.
Lin Xiaoxiao completed the entire process in her space this time. She didn't need to grind the fish meat by hand; after the machine mixed it, she took it out and pounded it until it became elastic. Then she added seasonings and prepared starch and started shaping the fish balls.
After making fish balls, she started working on pork balls. She originally wanted to make beef balls, but then she thought about how hard it was to get beef these days, and how she would make too many and it would be too conspicuous, so she gave up on the idea of making beef balls.
After everything was done, we found that we had made a huge bowlful, and each person received a considerable amount.
By evening, Lin Xiaoxiao was too lazy to cook rice, so she simply cooked the meatballs and noodles together, added some greens and drizzled sesame oil when it was done, and it looked quite delicious.
Sometimes Lin Xiaoxiao herself felt that her cooking skills were too good. The meatballs tasted very sweet and fresh, and the texture was chewy. The noodles were paired with some chili oil, and the taste was simply amazing.
The next day, Lin Xiaoxiao was called to a meeting by Captain Wang, mainly to discuss Wang Juan's job as an accountant.
Captain Wang and several village officials are reviewing the accounts prepared by Wang Juan.
In fact, even for laymen, these accounts are only partially understandable; they can only tell the handwriting and whether the accounts are clean and tidy.
The details still need to be explained by Accountant Wang and Lin Xiaoxiao.
Hearing Accountant Wang's effusive praise of Wang Juan, Captain Wang stood aside and pondered for a while before speaking: "Everyone can see Wang Juan's abilities, but... she tends to attempt suicide when faced with problems, this..."
Lin Xiaoxiao thought to herself that he was indeed a village chief who had served for decades. He thought about everything in a comprehensive way, even taking into account the emotional problems of the employees and the potential risks.
She still hoped that Wang Juan could come to work here. Once she got to know her, everything would be clear. "Actually, you all know better than I do how Wang Juan is. Right now, she has even more skills than Accountant Wang. There's no reason for us to push such a talent away."
"It's true that she attempted suicide, but she handled the annulment of the engagement very well."
Actually, everyone thinks that Wang Juan did a very principled thing by breaking off the engagement. But these days, when people hire, they're almost always there for life. If they're not satisfied, they can just find some excuse to get rid of someone.
Before hiring someone to work, you need to consider all aspects. Accountants deal with money, not just fixed quantities of cloth.
That's why we need to have a meeting to discuss it. Otherwise, given Wang Juan's behavior before she started dating, why would they need to discuss it? They could just send her to work directly.
Among those who came to the meeting, there were supporters and opponents. Captain Wang, recommended by Lin Xiaoxiao, sided with Lin Xiaoxiao. This workshop was all set up by Lin Xiaoxiao, and she only needed to hire one person, not something as important as becoming a factory director.
Captain Wang turned to Accountant Wang and asked, "If we let Wang Juan come to work, can you manage her well?"
Accountant Wang thought for a few seconds and nodded, "Wang Juan's character and accounting skills are not a problem. When I saw her come over that day, she was in a pretty stable mood, so I think there's no problem."
Upon hearing this, Captain Wang turned to Lin Xiaoxiao, who nodded in understanding: "I don't think there's a problem. After she woke up, she was still quite positive about life and even took the initiative to look for work, which shows that she wants to live a good life."
With the support of Lin Xiaoxiao and Captain Wang, Wang Juan's job of handling the accounts in the workshop was settled.
After the meeting, Accountant Wang found Wang Juan and told her about the decisions made at the brigade meeting that morning.
"Really? Lin Zhiqing spoke up for me too?" Wang Juan wasn't particularly excited when she found out, but instead showed a knowing smile.
They were more surprised that Lin Xiaoxiao would speak up for them.
After all, the two of them had conflicts before, and she had conflicts with Lin Xiaoxiao, as well as Hu San and Han Qiushi. Yet she was still able to put aside her prejudices and recommend herself.
I never expected Lin Zhiqing to have such a broad perspective.
Accountant Wang explained, "Lin Zhiqing sometimes has a bad temper, but she is still very objective in her views."
"I suffered a bit recently, but thankfully I've pulled myself together and gotten a job. I'll live a good life from now on. Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your parents too."
"They've gone to great lengths for you. If anything happens in the future, don't misunderstand. Remember to tell us if anything happens, and the village will support you." Accountant Wang first instilled this idea in Wang Juan.
Wang Juan nodded repeatedly, indicating that she had come to her senses and that nothing was more important than herself and her parents. Having gone through this experience, she had truly grown up.
"Brother Wang, thank you so much for this, and thank you Lin Zhiqing. Without your recommendation, I probably wouldn't have gotten this job."
"Take these dishes. I'll go and thank Lin Zhiqing tomorrow. Thank you all for speaking up for me."
Despite Accountant Wang's barrage of questions, Wang Juan remained calm, and in the end, Accountant Wang left with great satisfaction.
After Accountant Wang left, Wang Juan looked towards Lin Xiaoxiao's courtyard. This Lin Xiaoxiao was a good person, someone worth getting along with...
The next day, at ten o'clock in the morning, Wang Juan arrived at the workshop's office, where Aunt Zhou was already waiting for her.
When Aunt Zhou saw me, Wang Juan started introducing her to some things about the factory and the positions available, and also talked about the salary and benefits for working there.
After everything was explained, Aunt Zhou said a few words of encouragement, telling her to live a good life in the future and not to get stuck on trivial matters.
Since it's the time to hibernate, accountants can also go home to work, as long as they come in on fixed days to register and process the data.
After Wang Juan finished her onboarding procedures, she happily went home to get some snacks and a few sheets of paper, and then headed towards Lin Xiaoxiao's courtyard.
Soon, there was a knock on Lin Xiaoxiao's door.
When he opened the door and saw Wang Juan, he was taken aback: "Why are you here?"
As soon as Wang Juan met someone, she got straight to the point: "Thank you for the workshop accountant matter, thank you for not holding a grudge."
"Oh, it's mainly because you have the ability to do this yourself. I'm just saying a few words," Lin Xiaoxiao said casually.
"I know in my heart that without your recommendation, I might not be able to get a job. This is... something I thought of when I had nothing to do, and I hope it will be helpful to you." Wang Juan handed the things in her hand to Lin Xiaoxiao.
