Soon, all ten dishes were ready, and with some of each dish left over, it filled three plates.
Fang Zhuo watched all of this, and he felt both angry and amused.
"Dongsheng, what are you doing?"
Fang Zhuo did not speak when he was just serving the food, but waited until all the dishes were served before speaking. It was obvious that he was just joking and did not care much.
This is indeed the case.
The dishes that Jia Dongsheng distributed were all hospitality dishes for the factory leaders. The factory leaders ate them, and of course the chefs also ate them.
Even the leaders in the factory couldn’t know about it?
Just turn a blind eye.
As the saying goes, if the cook doesn't steal, the crops won't be abundant. This is an unspoken rule passed down from ancient times.
Although it is a bad habit, the factory requires the chef to prepare the dishes for the reception, and the chef is of the same character. Even if a new batch of chefs are replaced, it will still be the same. What can we do?
"Director Fang, we are preparing a meal for the factory leaders, which is beyond our job duties. Of course, we also need to replenish our bodies."
Jia Dongsheng smiled and replied, "It's just right, Director Fang, you're here too, would you like to try it together?"
"You guys eat, I'm full at noon." Fang Zhuo waved his hand and didn't choose to eat everything, although when he smelled the food, the glutton in his stomach was howling.
"Okay, if you don't want to eat, then we'll eat something."
As he spoke, Jia Dongsheng first called Liu Lan: "Come here, fill your lunch box first."
"Decoration?"
Liu Lan looked at Director Fang, then at Jia Dongsheng, and then at the three large plates of food, not knowing what to say.
Is it really okay to take food from the kitchen in front of the canteen director?
However, Liu Lan only hesitated for a moment, then immediately took out her lunch box, put a little of each dish in it, and filled the lunch box. Then she walked aside embarrassedly.
She chose to take it back, as she felt embarrassed to eat the rest. After Liu Lan finished serving the three plates of food, there were still two plates left, which was enough for the kitchen staff to improve the meals.
"Okay, everyone, have some and share."
Jia Dongsheng greeted him, but he didn't move forward. Instead, he came to Director Fang and said with a smile, "Director Fang, let's have some tea."
"You kid, you let the kitchen staff take food home in front of me. How unscrupulous!"
Having said that, Fang Zhuo still sat down with Jia Dongsheng and continued to drink tea and enjoy the fan.
"Hey, what's so unscrupulous about this?"
Jia Dongsheng said nonchalantly, "Everyone does this. Besides, we are just eating with the factory leaders, not stealing the workers' rations."
"Yes, many people in the kitchen take rice and flour directly from the factory home. It's hard to manage them."
"We can't tolerate that kind of situation. It's like poaching from the factory. We must put a firm stop to it."
"Haha, you kid, you only allow the officials to set fires but not the people to light lamps."
"I'm telling the truth. Poaching from the factory is absolutely unacceptable. However, my act of only sharing some of the dishes as a treat doesn't count as poaching. It's just that the factory leaders treated us kitchen staff to a meal."
Although Fang Zhuo knew that Jia Dongsheng was trying to change the subject, he didn't care. Poaching from a leader was much more acceptable than poaching from within the factory.
"Okay, I can't argue with you. Come on, continue drinking tea."
The two of them drank tea for about an hour, and when it was time to get off work, he took Qin Huairu home on a tricycle.
"Dongsheng, you're back."
As soon as he walked into the middle courtyard, he found a person lying on the old chair he bought. He looked so leisurely and contented that Jia Dongsheng was a little envious.
"Da Mao, what do you mean by lying on my chair?"
Jia Dongsheng asked with his eyes wide open. He had just bought this old chair and hadn't even laid on it a few times, but it was already being visited by this kid Xu Damao. How could this be possible?
"Hey, Dongsheng, you know what, this chair of yours is really comfortable to lie on."
Xu Damao chuckled twice, then immediately stood up and made room for him: "Come, lie down, I want to tell you something."
"What's the matter?" Jia Dongsheng asked, and then said to Qin Huairu: "Sister-in-law, just make something simple to eat tonight."
"Got it. You talk to Damao. I'll go in and cook."
Qin Huairu said hello to Xu Damao, "Da Mao, you guys chat first, I'll go inside first."
"Hey, sister-in-law, you go ahead and do your work."
Xu Damao glanced at Qin Huairu, then immediately turned his gaze to Jia Dongsheng: "Dongsheng, I'm getting married soon. Is it stable for you to be my chef?"
"That's not necessarily true."
Jia Dongsheng lay down naturally, and the old chair began to rock slowly and comfortably.
"Why not? Didn't we agree that you would come and make the barbecue?"
Hearing this, Xu Damao became a little anxious.
"Da Mao, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but why don't you choose a Sunday like me for your wedding? Otherwise, I wouldn't say it's not certain."
Jia Dongsheng rolled his eyes at Xu Damao in anger: "I just remembered that you're getting married on the 20th, and I have to go to work."
"Hey, Dongsheng, you have such a high position in the factory, it's not difficult for you to ask for leave."
Xu Damao was still thinking it was a big deal. It turned out to be a matter of time. "I didn't realize that the 20th was a work day, but my mom and Xiao'e's mom set the date, saying that the 20th was a good day for getting married."
"You know I have a high status in the factory. That's because they rely on me to prepare the dishes for the reception, and the reception dishes are usually in the afternoon. You said I should prepare a banquet for you, but what if the factory prepares the reception dishes in the afternoon and I'm not there?"
"You have a point."
Xu Damao nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with what Jia Dongsheng said. This was a difficult situation.
"Dongsheng, you have to think of a way and help me. My father-in-law has prepared a sheep, and I'm waiting for you to show off your skills."
"A sheep?"
Jia Dongsheng glanced at Xu Damao. This rich man really lived up to his reputation. He could even get a whole sheep to roast in this day and age. He really had the ability.
After thinking about it, Jia Dongsheng was a little embarrassed: "Da Mao, I'll take a leave and come back to prepare a banquet for you. If there is no reception dish in the afternoon, it's fine, but if there is, I will definitely be responsible, so..."
"So you can't come?" Xu Damao's face looked a little ugly. After all, in his opinion, only Jia Dongsheng could have the face to roast the whole lamb, and he couldn't trust anyone else.
“No, no, no…”
Jia Dongsheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "So, you have to pay more."
"More money?"
Xu Damao was stunned and asked in confusion: "What's the extra money?"
"Da Mao, you really want me to prepare the banquet for you for free?"
Jia Dongsheng's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief, "Don't you know that hiring a chef for a wedding banquet costs money?"
"You're talking about this, okay, Dongsheng, just name a number."
Hearing that it was this much money, Xu Damao nodded repeatedly. He certainly knew that hiring a chef to prepare a wedding banquet would cost money, but he just didn't react for a moment.
