Chapter 49 Choice
The next day.
Sixteen people, including Zhai Yucheng, took the shuttle bus sent by the bureau and left Laononghe Farm.
The canteen was deserted in the morning. Du Shaojie sat outside the small door of the back kitchen, staring at the light screen that only he could see. Others thought he was in a trance.
[Bound chef: Du Shaojie]
[Level: Apprentice (third year)]
[Current work: Braised pork]
[Overall evaluation: medium to low]
[Bonus: Chef training video materials (six)]
[Reward: Carp (3 kg), simulation training time (30 hours)]
[Special reward: None]
Du Shaojie was not surprised that [Braised pork] could get a "medium to low" overall evaluation. After all, he had reached this level in the simulation training.
What made him speechless was that since the simulation training function was turned on, the level increase of the dishes no longer triggered special rewards.
It seems that his "novice protection period" has passed. Since he has walked out of the novice village, he can no longer enjoy the benefits of newcomers.
Nothing wrong.
"No! Maybe I misunderstood. The highest comprehensive evaluation of the dishes I made is currently 'medium-low'. If I break through this ceiling, it is still possible to trigger special rewards?"
A system that cannot communicate effectively made Du Shaojie very upset.
After thinking for a while, he was too lazy to think about it. Whether his judgment was right or wrong, everything would be clear when a certain dish broke through the "medium" level.
"Master Du, what are the arrangements for lunch?"
Qin Xiaomei didn't want to disturb Du Shaojie at first, but seeing that it was time to prepare lunch, she had to come over and ask.
"Oh, let's cook some tiger skin chili for lunch. Isn't there a little pork belly left? Then stir-fry some pickled mustard greens with minced meat, and finally a dish of stir-fried Chinese cabbage. The staple food is steamed cake. Go and prepare it."
Du Shaojie stood up and immediately arranged for lunch.
He was very glad that he had a golden finger, so he would not lose confidence even under such poor conditions.
Especially after opening the [Simulation Training], he had higher aspirations, otherwise he would go crazy if he stayed in this place where no one was going to shit for a long time.
Time slipped away quietly.
In addition to being busy with his own affairs, Du Shaojie would meet with Chen Jizhou almost every one or two days.
The meeting place was still the old place, the sheltered place behind the cowshed.
After Zhai Yucheng left, Jiang Xianfa took his place and was almost inseparable from Chen Jizhou.
Du Shaojie hadn't been able to get any liquor recently, so he would bring them some food from time to time. A few roasted sweet potatoes, two boiled eggs, or some fried peanuts
"Xiao Du, what good things did you bring to reward us today?"
Du Shaojie came to the old place after work, and Jiang Xianfa's eyes began to light up when he saw him.
Recently, Lin Zuo had assigned a lot of labor tasks to the labor study group, and Jiang Xianfa and Chen Jizhou always felt hungry soon after eating.
"I brought you some peanuts."
Du Shaojie smiled and raised the lunch box in his hand, walked over and sat down on a stone.
There was a kerosene lamp in the middle of the three people, and the faint halo just enveloped them.
"Xiao Du, it's been nearly half a month since Old Zhai and his team went back. Have you heard any news?"
Chen Jizhou has become increasingly silent since Zhai Yucheng and his team left.
He ate peanuts silently and suddenly asked.
"I heard that Chief Engineer Zhai went to Hongshanzui Power Plant and served as the general commander of the newly launched 'Unit 4 Project'. Director Jiang returned to the Production Department. Although he was not given a specific position, in fact, most of the burden of the department fell on his shoulders."
Du Shaojie slowly told the news he had received one by one.
As Chen Jizhou listened, he couldn't help but smile for the first time in a long time.
But after a while, he frowned again, as if he was uncomfortable.
Du Shaojie asked him quickly, and Chen Jizhou said that he had a sore throat.
The temperature difference between day and night in the local area was large. Du Shaojie thought that he had caught a cold, and hurriedly asked him to go back and rest: "Old Director, drink more boiled water when you go back. If you don't get better by tomorrow, go see Doctor Wang."
Chen Jizhou responded and returned to the dormitory with Jiang Xianfa.
Du Shaojie didn't take it seriously at first. People these days are tough and don't care much about headaches and fevers.
Who knew that at night, Chen Jizhou began to have a fever and his throat was burning.
In the morning, he went to Lin Zuo to ask for leave, but Lin Zuo refused to grant him leave: "Can a sore throat affect your work? You can't leave the front line with a minor injury, and your situation is not even a minor injury."
Helplessly, Chen Jizhou participated in half a day of labor and lay down completely at noon.
Du Shaojie didn't know what happened in the morning. It was not until Jiang Xianfa came to the canteen to get food that he learned that Chen Jizhou had fallen ill.
"Aunt Qin, Sister Li, please help me. Doctor Wang and I will go to see Uncle Chen."
Du Shaojie didn't dare to neglect it and immediately took Wang Liwen to Chen Jizhou's dormitory.
Wang Liwen took the other party's temperature first. Wow, the high fever has reached 40 degrees. After looking at the throat, he basically came to a conclusion.
"He has acute tonsillitis and it has begun to fester. In this case, he needs to be hospitalized or get an injection or stay in the hospital for observation. He can't delay any longer."
The farm does not have the conditions for treatment at all. It is best to go back to the city for treatment.
Wang Liwen gave a suggestion, then wrung a cold towel, applied it on Chen Jizhou's forehead, and turned and walked out.
"I'll go find Lin Zuo. The beast forced Lao Chen to work in the morning, otherwise his condition would not have deteriorated so quickly." Although
he scolded, Jiang Xianfa knew that if he wanted to go back to the city for treatment, he had to get Lin Zuo's approval.
He immediately went out to find the other party, but he never expected that Lin Zuo still disagreed.
"If you are so delicate like you, and you have to go back to the city for a minor illness, then the labor study group will become a decoration. Give him some medicine first, and he will be fine after a while."
"Team leader Lin, you have to be responsible for the decision you made. Lao Chen has a high fever of 40 degrees now, and the whole person is confused by the fever. You let him fight it? We must have a minimum conscience as human beings, and we can't just watch him die!"
Jiang Xianfa was also angry. For the first time, he got so angry that he slammed the table in front of Lin Zuo.
"What's your attitude? If you don't allow leave, you don't allow leave. It's useless to slam the table. I tell you, Jiang Xianfa, I will record your performance today."
Lin Zuo's triangular eyes rolled up, completely dispelling Jiang Xianfa's hope.
Jiang Xianfa stomped his feet and quickly returned to the dormitory. He was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time.
But what can he do? People have to bow their heads under the eaves. As a member of the group, he can't protect himself either.
"I want to eat braised pork and sweet and sour spare ribs."
Chen Jizhou drank some porridge in the morning. His stomach was empty and he started talking nonsense with a high fever.
Du Shaojie looked at the other party's red face, gritted his teeth and said, "This won't work, Chief Jiang, give him some paracetamol first, I'll be back soon."
At this time, he had two choices. One was to stay by Chen Jizhou's side and hope that he could make it. The second was to find a way to bring him back to the city and take him to the hospital for treatment.
With the first choice, he would not have to take any risks himself.
With the second choice, he might be implicated, making his situation even more difficult.

I'm counting on you all!
