It's time to eat, and as usual, other people come to serve the food.
There were two basins on the window, one containing braised pork and the other containing shredded cabbage.
The person who came to get the food took one look and said, "Yesterday it was shredded potatoes, and today it was cubed potatoes. This dish is very creative."
There was something ambiguous in what this person said. Although he didn't say it, one could tell that he was somewhat dissatisfied with the food.
Another said: "Oh, this is a meat dish, and a piece of meat in this dish costs only five cents.
Your meat dishes are 15 cents each and your vegetables are 5 cents each. I might as well get an extra portion of cabbage."
“That’s right…”
Several people nearby were discontented. Xu Zhaodi said, "Comrade, I'm really sorry. How about we give you some vegetarian dishes?"
"No, no, just give me a meat dish. I'll go back to the office to get a magnifying glass and see how much meat is in it.
It's okay to fool people with meat dishes once or twice, but it won't be the same after a long time, right?"
Xu Zhaodi looked embarrassed. With so many people surrounding her, she felt overwhelmed.
This shouldn't happen. Forty or fifty kilograms of pork were delivered this morning, but why doesn't it look like pork after it was fried?
Xu Zhaodi said, "Comrade, I am just a worker. I did not cook the meat in this dish, let alone put it there. If you are not satisfied with it, you can talk to our chef."
Li Fugui was in the kitchen pretending not to hear.
Xu Zhaodi turned around and shouted, "Master Li is looking for you, please explain it to me."
Li Fugui grinned and glared at Xu Zhaodi, then walked to the window and pretended to be calm.
"What are you arguing about?
I put all the meat that was sent to me in here. The kitchen is so small, how can I hide it?"
"Who knows? Look at your kitchen, you're the only one who's fat and rich. Some things are hard to say."
Li Fugui lost his temper when he heard this and shouted, "What the hell did you tell me? Say it again if you dare."
"Just say it, isn't it? We didn't even see a piece of meat when we collected money for the meat dishes. How dare you collect money for the meat dishes? Do you think our money came from the wind?"
Li Fugui realized that he was a little impulsive, and waved his hand and said, "If you like it, eat it. If you don't want to eat it, forget it.
I cooked the food, but I didn’t buy the meat.”
After Li Fugui finished speaking, he was so angry that he put his hands on his hips.
Xu Zhaodi stood aside. She was too lazy to be a nice person when others were quarreling. She would not interfere if it was none of her business.
Zhang Guilan was doing the accounts in the office. When she heard the noise, she hurried out to see what was going on.
When Zhang Guilan saw the dishes in the basin, her brows began to frown.
Such a big piece of meat was delivered this morning, why is there so little after it was fried?
She smiled and said, "Blame me, blame me. I just added extra dishes for everyone, so I just charge them as vegetarian dishes. I'm sorry, I didn't make it clear to the cashier.
Well, I'll ask the cashier to refund you the extra money I charged you."
The group of people said: "This is more like it, I really thought it was a meat dish, there is not even a speck of meat to be seen."
The people blocking the window were queuing up to get their meals, as if nothing had happened just now.
Niu Xiaohong was so frightened that she didn't even dare to breathe.
After lunch, Zhang Guilan presided over the meeting.
Zhang Guilan glanced sternly at the people in front of her: "There are only a few of us in the kitchen, how come we can't see the 40 or 50 kilograms of meat in the basin?
There are only a few of us, so it's impossible for anyone to steal it."
Li Fugui's eyelids jumped and he said, "That's right. With just a few of us, can our flesh grow legs and run away?"
Zhang Guilan said, "You guys should all pay attention. In the future, you should supervise each other in such matters. We can't let them cause trouble again."
Li Fugui patted his chest and said, "Okay, we must supervise each other and try to catch this borer as soon as possible."
When he finished saying this, he looked at Xu Zhaodi meaningfully.
Xu Zhaodi felt puzzled. What were you looking at me for?
After the meeting, the atmosphere in the kitchen was very tense. Niu Xiaohong and Li Fugui were flirting with each other, and Li Fugui was almost annoyed.
Who could have imagined that someone would suddenly come into the cafeteria? Who knows if it was to supervise them?
Wang Daqing is a fool. He can get rid of people by finding a job, but it is difficult to deal with another one now.
Li Fugui's eyes would occasionally fall on the clothes hanging on the wall.
Xu Zhaodi saw this scene and felt it was strange.
Is this dress so pretty?
After lunch, Li Fugui, who used to eat three bowls of rice, only ate one bowl today. He told Zhang Guilan that he had something to do at home and left first.
In the evening, there was boiled cabbage and sauerkraut dumpling soup. Xu Zhaodi cleaned the kitchen before coming out to eat. She forgot to take chopsticks when she brought out the food. When she entered the kitchen to get chopsticks, she happened to see Li Fugui taking down the clothes hanging on the wall.
Hidden under the clothes was a piece of pork belly that was as wide as a palm and as long as an arm.
Wow, such a big piece of meat must weigh at least eight or nine kilograms, right?
Li Fugui was in a panic, thinking that Xu Zhaodi didn't see it, so he asked provocatively: "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a man before?"
Xu Zhaodi frowned, how vulgar! It was really tiring to work with such a person.
Xu Zhaodi had a mocking look on her face and her eyes fell on the clothes in his hand.
Li Fugui felt guilty, so he quickly straightened his clothes and turned away without further argument.
Before Xu Zhaodi came out of the kitchen, Niu Xiaohong came in hurriedly. She washed her own dishes, took her things and left.
Now I don't need to think too much and I understand.
It seems that the reason these two people targeted her was probably because they were afraid that she would discover their sneaky deeds.
She hasn't figured out how to say this yet, so she'll wait and see how the situation develops.
In the alley not far from the state-owned restaurant, Li Fugui pulled Niu Xiaohong in.
He whispered anxiously, "Why did you come out too?"
Niu Xiaohong patted her chest to calm down, then peeped out of the alley and said, "Why can't I come out? We agreed to split the stolen goods in half. If I came out a little later, who knows if you would give yourself an extra piece."
Li Fugui was so angry that the flesh on his face trembled. He squeezed out a few words from between his teeth in displeasure.
"You have a very clear calculation."
In the past two years, we have relied on him to bring a lot of food to our family. Now that we are living a good life, we are not afraid of others taking advantage of us.
Li Fugui lowered his voice and said in a rough voice: "Put away your little thoughts. When I took out the meat, the man surnamed Xu saw it. Let's stop for the next few days and talk about it later."
"Ah? She saw it? What if she tells Director Zhang about us?"
"I'm not sure yet whether she can see clearly or not. Let's observe for a few days."
"What a disaster! We were doing so well, but who knew that someone would suddenly show up and bite us."
"Let's not talk about it for now. It's not good if someone sees us. Come to my house tonight to get the meat."
Niu Xiaohong nodded, and the two of them discussed things and walked away from both ends of the alley to avoid suspicion.
