On Monday, because he was afraid that all the fish would die, Jia Dongsheng did not wait until noon to go to work. Instead, he came to the factory early in the morning with two buckets of fish.
"Dongsheng, where did you get so many fish?"
Fang Zhuo looked at the fish in the two large barrels, a little dazed.
"I caught it yesterday at Shichahai."
Jia Dongsheng chuckled and recounted what happened during his fishing trip yesterday.
"I didn't realize, Dongsheng, you have these two tricks. Not bad, not bad."
Fang Zhuo praised it repeatedly after hearing it.
"Director Fang, do you still mean what you said?"
"Of course it counts. Don't worry, I'll have the finance department come over right away to weigh and calculate the money."
Fang Zhuo understood what Jia Dongsheng meant, nodded quickly, and went to call someone.
Soon, the net weight of the two buckets of fish was weighed out.
Twenty-six pounds and eight ounces.
"Dongsheng, I'll give you a round number, 27 kilograms. I hope you can make full use of your fishing ability in the future and bring back more fish for our factory."
Fang Zhuo didn't bother to pay the bill for Jia Dongsheng right away.
Nowadays, the price of fish in the market is about 30 to 40 cents per pound. Fang Zhuo took the highest price, 40 cents per pound, which doubled to 80 cents, or 21.6 yuan.
As soon as the money was taken out, the entire Canteen No. 1 was in an uproar.
Everyone in Canteen No. 1 was watching all this, and when they saw Fang Zhuo actually handing 21.6 yuan to Jia Dongsheng, they all showed envy.
At the same time, he also showed a look of regret.
At this moment, they all wanted to slap themselves in the face.
It was also a day off, but Jia Dongsheng took advantage of it to go fishing and earned more than 20 yuan. What about them?
But I rested at home for a day and didn't earn a penny.
If they had gone fishing yesterday, would they have caught fish as well?
Even if I can't catch a fish weighing over 20 kilograms like Jia Dongsheng, catching two or three fish will be fine. How much will that cost?
A few dollars in this era is a lot of money.
As we all know, the "five-guarantee households" are people who have no income and no labor force and are supported by the state. The subsidy given by the state every month is only five yuan.
We can also learn from here that a person’s minimum consumption is five yuan. With five yuan, you can ensure that you will not starve to death.
Fang Zhuo was also watching all this. After noticing everyone's expressions, he immediately laughed and said loudly, "You all saw it, what I said yesterday is still valid. As long as you can get fish, chickens, ducks, geese, etc., our canteen will accept them, and we will even charge double the price."
"Director, don't worry. We'll go get it next time we're on break."
"Yes, we'll go get some too. If we can't get anything else, there are still plenty of fish in the river."
"Director, I am quite capable of fishing, but I didn't think of selling my catch in the cafeteria."
“…”
What is the most touching thing?
The most common answer from the general public in any era is just one word: money.
There is nothing more stimulating than seeing others making money while you yourself are not.
Seeing that the emotions of everyone in Canteen No. 1 had been aroused, Fang Zhuo said a few more words and then left. Of course, everything that happened in Canteen No. 1 had to be made known to the people in other canteens so that the incident could be made the most of!
After Fang Zhuo left, the kitchen staff looked at Jia Dongsheng and said, "Old Jia, you are this."
That's right, everyone gave Jia Dongsheng a thumbs up. Seeing this, Jia Dongsheng laughed and said, "Okay, now that you know everything, I will work hard in the future to make more money so that my wife and children can live a good life."
"Okay."
Then everyone started to get busy. The canteen could only take a break in the afternoon. All the time in the morning was used to prepare the dishes needed for lunch, washing, cutting and frying, and this was done every day.
"Lao Jia, is this fish cooked today?"
At this time, Sha Zhu, Liu Ran, Qi Shuang, the three chefs of Canteen No. 1 came to Jia Dongsheng.
Things like preparing food do not require the chef's participation. They only participate in the last step, stir-frying.
"There's a big herring in there. Let's keep it. See if there's any treat for the afternoon. If there is, cook the herring. As for the other fish, make a dish for lunch. It'll also be a treat for the workers."
"Then how do you cook this fish?" Liu Ran asked.
"Fish?"
Speaking of it, there are many ways to cook fish, but there are not many fish recipes that can be compared to a big pot dish.
If you can make boiled fish, it is actually a good choice. After all, boiled fish contains a lot of vegetables and the fish is delicious, but carp is not very suitable for boiled fish.
It's not because of any other reason, but mainly because carp has too many bones, which are broken into pieces. It is really troublesome to remove the bones.
"Do you have any ideas?" Jia Dongsheng asked back.
"Braised fish, how else can it be made?" said Sha Zhu.
"Steaming is also good. It stays firm after steaming." Liu Ran replied.
"After the fish is cooked, we have to give each worker a little when serving. If it's just steamed or braised, each person won't get much."
The last chef, Qi Shuang, expressed his opinion: "Lao Jia, I think we should add some side dishes to these fish and make them into one dish. This way we can make more."
"Yeah, what Master Qi said makes sense."
Jia Dongsheng nodded and then said, "Actually, I have a dish that is very suitable for making a big pot with fish. However, the fish needs to be filleted, and the carp bones are a bit troublesome."
