"Ahem."
Since Yang Weimin had already asked this question, Li Huaide had no choice but to speak up. He cleared his throat, glanced at everyone, and said, "At noon today, these dumplings must be given to the workers."
This sentence can be regarded as a way to define the solution to the problem.
However, the problem that was mentioned during the discussion just now appeared again.
There are 10,000 people in a steel rolling mill. Whether each person eats 10 to 20, or 30 to 40, at this time, there is actually not much difference between eating and not eating.
It may even lead to a worse situation.
Why?
It's simple, the workers have been waiting for five days.
In their hearts, they were made to wait for so long, but in the end they were not fed enough. The resentment in their hearts will intensify, and the situation will develop into something completely unpredictable.
Li Huaide raised his arm and glanced at the watch on his wrist. It was almost eleven o'clock.
The steel mill’s lunch time is 11:30, so there are only about 40 minutes left before lunch starts.
Within this time, a solution must be found and implemented.
"Deputy Director Li, since you said you wanted to have dumplings for lunch, but there aren't enough dumplings right now, what's your solution?"
Yang Weimin looked at Li Huaide with sharp eyes. Although he didn't want Li Huaide to make any contribution, he hoped that Li Huaide could come up with practical and effective solutions for today's incident.
Because the matter got out of hand, Li Huaide was responsible for the canteen, but as the head of the steel rolling mill, he also had a great responsibility.
What's more, it was he who gave the order to treat the workers to dumplings.
Based on this, he really didn't want to escalate the matter any further.
"Director Yang, comrades."
Li Huaide glanced at Yang Weimin and the others in the room and said, "We are all from the north. We all know that northerners eat dumplings. Why can they eat so many?"
He didn't wait for the others to think of the answer and started talking to himself: "It's very simple, because northerners eat dumplings, that's all they eat, they don't eat anything else."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yang Weimin and other factory leaders showed expressions of sudden enlightenment, and at the same time they understood Li Huaide's plan, but they did not speak, waiting for Li Huaide to continue.
"Since eating dumplings alone doesn't work anymore, let's make some more vegetables and eat them with the dumplings."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the kitchen supervisors in the cafeteria smiled happily.
Why are they happy?
It’s very simple, the workload has been reduced.
Originally, each canteen was short of tens of thousands of dumplings to make, but now they don’t need that anymore.
Compared to making dumplings, stir-frying and stewing are so much simpler.
So, now that the workload has decreased, how can they not be happy?
However, Jia Dongsheng was not so optimistic. If this incident was completely caused spontaneously by the workers, this method would definitely be able to resolve it.
But he always had a feeling in his heart that this matter was not that simple, and it was very likely that there were enemy spies behind it manipulating and instigating it.
So, his brows were furrowed a little.
This scene happened to be seen by Li Huaide, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. He had no doubt about Jia Dongsheng's ability.
Jia Dongsheng did not look relieved, which made him wonder if there was a loophole in the method he came up with.
But, as the saying goes, the arrow is on the string and has to be shot. It will start soon after lunch. Even if there are loopholes, we can only make up for them when they are exposed.
Otherwise, the workers besieging the administrative building will certainly become even more irritable. Let's get the situation under control first.
"That's settled."
Putting aside his worries, Li Huaide continued, "You should hurry back as soon as possible. For lunch today, you must make dishes that are filling, and make two extra dishes so that the workers can have more food."
"In this case, forty dumplings per person should probably be enough."
When I said the last sentence, I lacked a bit of confidence, but there was nothing I could do. Whether it would work or not would depend on the feedback from the workers.
"Then Director Yang, Director Li, shall I take them with me to complete the mission first?"
After receiving Li Huaide's order, Fang Zhuo stood up. He was very active, but he didn't know that his enthusiasm was even more hateful in Yang Weimin's eyes.
It was his inaction that led to the current situation. He is simply not worthy of being in the leadership team of the steel mill.
But now is not the time to pursue responsibility. Everything will have to wait until after today.
Waving his hand, signaling him to go back to work, Yang Weimin also stood up: "I'll go to the Propaganda Department and use the loudspeaker to tell the workers to come to the canteen to wait for dumplings. As for the canteen, someone must be left there."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Li Huaide: "Deputy Director Li, you will be in the cafeteria watching over it at noon today. If anything happens, please inform me at any time."
"Okay, Director Yang, I'll take care of the cafeteria." Li Huaide promised, "I will definitely not allow the conflict to escalate further."
"Okay, that's it for now."
Then, Yang Weimin took his men away. In the office, Li Huaide's face looked a little ugly. In his heart, he couldn't help but think of Jia Dongsheng's frown just now, and a bad feeling came over him again.
"What else is going to happen?"
He walked around the office thinking, but he had no clue at all. He felt that the idea he came up with on a whim was very good.
As long as the workers can eat dumplings and are full, the conflicts will naturally disappear. Why do we still have a bad feeling?
"No, I won't feel at ease until I figure it out!"
Stamping his feet, Li Huaide went downstairs and came to the kitchen.
Fang Zhuo knew Jia Dongsheng's abilities clearly, so he was confident that the food in Canteen No. 1 would be fine, so he went to supervise the other canteens.
After returning to the cafeteria, Jia Dongsheng asked Qin Huairu and Nan Yi to start preparing the dishes for lunch.
As for what dishes?
It's also very simple.
There was still a lot of dumpling filling left, so he directly added a pot of oil and started frying the meatballs.
Vegetarian meatballs!
When the time comes, who would not be satisfied with this dish of fried vegetarian meatballs?
Then have another dish of meatballs, and finally have a dish of braised lion head.
Although they are all made of vegetarian meat, vegetarian meat is still meat!
Since Jia Dongsheng already felt that there were spies behind the scenes, he would of course put effort into the food. When the time came, he would make the troublemakers speechless. How could the conflict be provoked?
