Chapter 48 Mobilization Meeting
In the morning.
Du Shaojie, Qin Xiaomei and others were busy in the kitchen as usual, when Zhao Dajun and Lin Zuo suddenly ran over.
"How did these two get together? Weird."
Li Guixiang muttered softly, and Du Shaojie put down the kitchen knife in his hand and looked at the two.
"Master Du, the leaders of the bureau will be here later, so you have to prepare meals for 10 people alone."
Zhao Dajun's expression was very serious. The leaders were coming to inspect without notifying him in advance, which made him a little nervous.
"Please add a dish to the labor study group at noon, preferably a meat dish."
Lin Zuo had a request for help, so his face was not so ugly, and his attitude was many times better than usual.
Du Shaojie nodded. Although Zhao Dajun did not say in detail, he certainly could not let the leaders eat too badly. Lin Zuo also said that he wanted to add a meat dish, so he decided to get some meat back.
When Zhao Dajun told him about this idea, he immediately laughed: "I have asked Chu Xiaowei to go to the county town. You don't have to worry about the food. You can do whatever you want when the time comes."
After arranging the canteen, Zhao Dajun and Lin Zuo left one after another.
The farm is not far from Changhe County. Chu Xiaowei drove a tractor there and will definitely be back before noon, so there will be no delay.
It was almost noon.
Several cars came from the bureau, and Director Wu and others got off the car.
Then, accompanied by Zhao Dajun and Lin Zuo, a group of 10 people inspected the various tasks of the farm and the various aspects of the labor study group.
"Director Zhao, Team Leader Lin, you two have done a solid job, and I am deeply gratified."
After the leaders visited the group, Director Wu's smile never stopped.
Especially in the labor study group, they asked about the members' well-being, not only caring about everyone's ideological progress, but also caring about everyone's life.
"Tell the canteen not to cook for us at noon. We will eat what the staff and study group members eat. Don't make any special arrangements. Do you understand?"
In order to show his sincerity, Director Wu decided to eat with everyone in the canteen at noon.
Zhao Dajun and Lin Zuo looked at each other, and then quickly sent someone to notify Du Shaojie and conveyed the leader's instructions.
Du Shaojie immediately rearranged: "Aunt Qin, the canteen will add braised pork at noon, not stewed vegetables."
With this dish, [braised pork], [eggplant with tiger skin and chili], [stir-fried beans], and [tomato egg drop soup] were arranged for noon.
The staple food is steamed corn bread and white flour steamed buns.
Chu Xiaowei brought back a lot of pork belly, and with the help of the leaders, it was just right for everyone to eat meat.
After Du Shaojie processed the pork belly, he started to cook it.
The whole process was like engraved in the bones, and it was easy to do.
Heat the pan to fry sugar color, stir-fry the pork belly to bring out the aroma and fat, add onion, ginger, star anise, chili and other seasonings to sauté, add boiling water to boil, pour in soy sauce, sugar, a little pepper, a little salt to adjust the base flavor,
cook over high heat for ten minutes, then turn to low heat, and when the pork is stewed until chopsticks can be easily inserted, you can use high heat to collect the soup and season it.
While stewing the braised pork, he fried [Tiger Skin Spicy Braised Eggplant] and [Vegetarian Stir-fried Beans], and also made a big pot of [Tomato and Egg Soup].
When it was time for dinner, Du Shaojie and Qin Xiaomei went to the front to get food.
Wang Liwen was not suitable to show up, and Li Guixiang said that she was timid and did not dare to face the leader, so they had to go up.
"Xiao Du, are you used to it here? I heard that your cooking skills have improved a lot, and I just want to try your dishes."
Director Wu queued up with everyone to get food, and seemed very approachable.
He walked in front of Du Shaojie, and he was also not arrogant.
"Thank you Director Wu for your concern. I've gotten used to the work and life on the farm."
Du Shaojie responded and ordered Director Wu a portion of [braised pork in red sauce], half a portion of [braised eggplant with tiger skin and chili], half a portion of [stir-fried beans], and finally a bowl of [tomato and egg soup].
The leaders sat together, and the people eating around them were silent.
Not all of them were reserved. For example, Chen Jizhou and Zhai Yucheng didn't want to say anything.
"Director Wu, Xiao Du's cooking skills are getting better and better. Take this [braised pork], for example. It's not worse than what Hongchunyuan Restaurant makes, and it's even better."
Some of the leaders like to eat braised pork. After tasting it, they couldn't help but praise it.
The braised pork made by Du Shaojie is not very sweet, with a little bit of spicy taste, but full of fragrance. Fatty but not greasy, lean meat not dry, and the combination of various spices is just right. One bite will definitely make your taste buds cheer.
"Well, young people should exercise more, go to difficult places, and go to places where they are most needed. If Xiao Du had stayed in the office cafeteria, his cooking skills would probably not have improved so much."
Director Wu smiled faintly, took a bite of braised pork and then a bite of beans, and felt happy.
But when it came to Du Shaojie, he was not so happy.
Several leaders around him felt bad, thinking that Director Wu was really shameless. He obviously sent Xiao Du to the farm, but he said it as if he had done a great favor to Xiao Du.
Xiao Du's improvement in cooking skills has nothing to do with coming to the farm!
Although these people felt unfair for Du Shaojie in their hearts, they would not say it out loud, nor would they offend Director Wu for him.
After dinner, Director Wu held a mobilization meeting for the "Labor Study Group" in the open space outside the cafeteria to mobilize comrades with progressive ideas to actively participate in production.
"Zhai Yucheng, Jiang Yong, you two are old comrades in the unit and should set an example. And the comrades whose names I read below, pack up tomorrow and report to the bureau for work."
Wu Mingde had to come this time because he had been criticized several times for frequent power outages.
If he wanted to resume production, some people were indispensable, such as Zhai Yucheng and Jiang Yong. He was worried that someone would get upset, so he acted out the whole thing so that people could not find fault with it.
The people whose names were read were very happy, and Chen Jizhou was not among them.
"Director Wu, why is Lao Chen not here? Lao Chen has rich work experience and has made great progress in his thinking through learning. He should also return to his job."
Zhai Yucheng finally couldn't help it and stood up and said loudly.
Chen Jizhou pulled his trouser legs hard, meaning that he should stop talking.
Director Wu did not answer, but looked at the people around him.
"Comrade Zhai Yucheng, this list is a decision we made after careful study, and I believe it will stand the test of time. We did not say that Comrade Chen Jizhou's performance in the group was not good. There must be a sequence for resuming work, right?"
When discussing at that time, most people chose to remain silent on Chen Jizhou's issue.
It was not for anything else, but because Director Wu's attitude was very firm, saying that he would not be considered for this batch of lists.
Everyone did not want to fall out with Director Wu, so they could only acquiesce to this decision. As for the reasons, it was not important.
Zhai Yucheng wanted to say something, but Chen Jizhou stood up, pulled him aside, and said, "I obey the unit's decision, Lao Zhai, let's leave it at that."
Zhai Yucheng sat down angrily. He knew this would be the result, but he couldn't keep silent.
Director Wu and others did not have dinner at the farm, and left by car after the meeting.
Lin Zuo patrolled near the dormitory of the study group all night, so Du Shaojie had no chance to talk to Zhai Yucheng and Chen Jizhou alone.
Thanks to the big brother "Hupanzhen Hog" (500 points) for the reward!
