"Dongsheng, come here."
Seeing Jia Dongsheng knocking on the door and coming in, Fang Zhuo smiled and said, "That's perfect. Let's discuss the dishes for tomorrow and the Mid-Autumn Festival."
"No matter when the superiors come to inspect the factory, they have to eat in our No. 1 canteen."
"So, compared to other cafeterias, Cafeteria No. 1 has the heaviest workload."
"Dongsheng, for the banquet, take a look at the dishes you are best at, and we will make those that we have the ingredients in our warehouse."
"As for the other restaurants, just follow your recipes. If they're not very good at it, you can teach them when you have time in the afternoon."
"The dishes we make look similar to those in Canteen No. 1. As long as they taste okay, that's fine. Meat tastes good no matter how you cook it."
Jia Dongsheng had just entered the room and had not yet had time to sit down when Fang Zhuo started blabbering out a lot of words. In the end, he concluded that the other canteens could slack off, but Canteen No. 1 had to hold up.
"Director Fang, if that's the case, then no problem. I can definitely handle the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival banquets."
Jia Dongsheng was not polite and agreed directly. There was no other way. With good skills, he felt at ease and had a strong back.
"Haha, okay, I was right about you."
Hearing Jia Dongsheng's words without hesitation and full of confidence, Fang Zhuo laughed out loud, and the pressure in his heart was instantly reduced by more than 50%!
As for the remaining pressure, it will only be after tomorrow and the Mid-Autumn Festival that the stone pressing on my heart can be completely put down.
"Well, Dongsheng, tell me what dishes you plan to cook that will satisfy both the superiors and the workers."
"I discussed this with Nan Yi before, and we already have a plan for how to proceed. However, I discovered a rather serious situation, and I need to report it to you."
Looking at Fang Zhuo, Jia Dongsheng said.
"What's so serious?" Fang Zhuo's expression grew slightly serious.
It's because he knows that Jia Dongsheng is not a person who speaks nonsense. Since he said so, the matter must be complicated.
"It's like this..."
Jia Dongsheng sat down first, then began to speak: "Tomorrow is National Day, a day off. The factory is holding a dinner party, and all the workers will definitely come. After all, we will eat meat. But what about the families?"
"What do you mean?" Fang Zhuo was a little confused.
“Workers’ families!”
Jia Dongsheng said bluntly: "Workers have dinner and can eat meat, but what about their families?"
"I believe that the workers in our factory are definitely not selfish people. What if they all take their lunch boxes home to eat with their families after getting their food? Then when the leaders come to inspect, will there only be two or three cats and kittens in our cafeteria?"
"Director Fang, this issue cannot be ignored!"
"hiss......"
Fang Zhuo took a breath of cold air. Why didn’t he think of this?
But it's not his fault. Although the factory held banquets in the past, the workers could eat whatever they wanted, and take it home if they didn't want to. No one cared unless there was an inspection by the superiors.
This inspection was entirely because the leader who wanted to inspect had just been transferred to a higher-level department, and he paid great attention to the voices of the workers and their situation.
That's why I wanted to understand the situation and took the opportunity of the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival dinner to inspect it.
Of course, Fang Zhuo was not exposed to these things at his level, but when Deputy Director Li explained the situation of the dinner, he specifically explained it to him, so Fang Zhuo knew about it.
Only after knowing this did he feel that this matter was a bit tricky. He had not thought about it before.
If what Jia Dongsheng said really happened and the superiors came to inspect, but the workers got their meals and went home to eat, and there were few people in the entire cafeteria, what should they do?
Aren’t the leaders who came to inspect left hanging there?
How is this possible?
"Dongsheng, thank goodness you reminded me early, otherwise if this had really happened, it would have been difficult to resolve."
Then, Fang Zhuo became worried, because he felt that even if he discovered this, he would not have any good solution. He could not force the workers to eat their meals in the factory after getting them.
That would definitely cause the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people!
After all, they finally had a chance to eat meat, and the workers wanted to share it with their families, but the factory disagreed. When the leader came to inspect, he learned of the situation...
Fang Zhuo was a little afraid to think further, and he felt that the difficulty of this matter was beyond his ability to solve, and this matter should be reported.
"Dongsheng, I have to report to Director Li now."
Standing up, Fang Zhuo wanted to walk out with a serious expression, but Jia Dongsheng quickly stopped him.
"No, Director Fang, I haven't finished yet."
"Dongsheng, this matter must be reported immediately. If you have anything to say, please wait until I finish reporting."
At this moment, Fang Zhuo's mind was already filled with this matter, and he could not listen to anything else.
“That’s the solution to this matter.”
"Um?"
Hearing this, Fang Zhuo stopped in his tracks, then looked at Jia Dongsheng and asked in surprise, "What? You have a solution?"
"That's right."
Jia Dongsheng nodded and immediately said, "Director Fang, this is actually what I was thinking about. After I finish cooking tomorrow, I'll pack it up and take it home to eat with my family. That's why I thought of this."
"Then I started thinking, if I think this way, then most of my fellow workers must think the same way, right?"
"So how do we solve this problem?"
"I pondered over it, and finally, I came up with a solution. However, even though I had the solution, it was a bit extravagant."
"What's the solution?" Fang Zhuo stopped and looked at Jia Dongsheng with a happy face.
Where can you find such subordinates? They know how to help the leaders find out the shortcomings and fill them up, and can come up with solutions as soon as they discover problems. Wow, it would be so great to have such subordinates, right?
"My thinking is, since the workers want their families to also have the factory dinner, it's definitely unrealistic to have the workers' families come to the factory to eat."
"Can we give the workers an extra portion of food?"
"Order one more dish?" This question is really surprising!
As the canteen director, Fang Zhuo clearly understood what Jia Dongsheng said. It sounds simple, but it costs a lot to do it.
If the banquet requires one thousand kilograms of pork, but each worker gets one extra portion, then the amount will be doubled, and two thousand kilograms of pork will be needed!
Thinking of this, Fang Zhuo's head was about to hit the ceiling. There was no other way. Although the factory had just received 2,000 kilograms of pork, if it was used like this, the meat that had just been stored would be gone after two banquets.
But October has just begun?
What to do?
Fang Zhuo fell into deep thought.
