"Dinner is ready."
Following Jia Dongsheng's loud shout at the food window, the originally noisy cafeteria fell into silence in an instant, and then the shouting became even louder.
"Finally, it's time to eat. Why is it so difficult to have dumplings?"
"Yeah, look at those people who came here to exchange and learn. They can eat right away, but here we have to wait five or six days before we can even eat."
"Well, who says it's not true? The leaders in our factory treat us differently."
"Don't say that. There are so many people in our factory, and there are only a few people here to exchange and learn. How can it be the same?"
"How can you be so naive? If the factory leaders had thought of us a long time ago, they would have made preparations in advance. I think it's because we made such a big fuss that the factory leaders thought of us."
"Yes, I think so too."
“…”
When scrambling to queue up, everyone's discussions were very loud, and from time to time there were some provocative voices mixed in. Such voices always attracted the approval of most people and the rebuttal of a small number of people.
It's just that the voices of rebuttal were drowned out by the voices of approval.
Similarly, there were people in the crowd who were observing all of this, recording all those who instigated, incited, and were dissatisfied with the factory. These would all be investigated later.
Because the workers in the factory are still emotionally unstable, Jia Dongsheng, who serves meals, brings Nan Yi and two male kitchen helpers with him.
As for women like Qin Huairu and Liu Lan, they were not allowed to come out.
If something goes wrong, women are naturally more likely to suffer losses.
"Quiet, everyone, be quiet."
Jia Dongsheng stood behind the food window, looking at the noisy crowd. Even the queues for meals every day were very loose today, and he couldn't help but shout loudly.
Unfortunately, the effect is not significant.
This is how Chinese people are. When some people take the lead in being arrogant, others will follow suit.
If some people take the lead in not queuing and crowding forward, then others will also not queue.
Herd mentality is very serious.
"Bang bang bang bang."
He picked up the rice spoon and started banging it on the iron basin beside him. The sound drowned out the discussions in the cafeteria.
"Everyone's lined up, don't you want to eat dumplings?"
Those who were originally dissatisfied with Jia Dongsheng for making such a loud noise immediately quieted down.
That’s right, most people are far more interested in dumplings than in making trouble.
After hearing this, they began to line up one by one.
Of course, some people don't like things to develop peacefully and want to stir up trouble.
"Why queue? If you want to queue, go to the back. I've been waiting for so many days to eat dumplings. Why the hell should I queue?"
A big man who was over 1.9 meters tall was pushing forward noisily. He was tall and strong, and had enough strength. The people who were blocking his way were forced to disperse.
"You don't want to queue?" Jia Dongsheng narrowed his eyes. He was wondering, does this guy really not want to queue, or does he want to take this opportunity to cause trouble?
"What are you queuing for?"
The big man, relying on his bloody mouth, shouted loudly: "Tell me what your cafeteria does. How many days have we been waiting for a dumpling?"
"People in other factories can eat right away, but we have to wait, and we've been waiting for so many days. Why are workers in our steel rolling mill inferior to those in other factories?"
I didn't expect that someone this big could be so cunning and start sowing discord right away!
However, Jia Dongsheng was not one to indulge others, and he sneered and counterattacked: "Do you have a brain?"
"In order to make dumplings for you, several of us in the kitchen rolled out the dumpling wrappers. Our arms are all swollen. Why is that?"
"Ah, what's the reason for this? Don't you even look at your own stomach? You're eating enough dumplings for ten people by yourself. Shouldn't we make more?"
"Each of you should be asked to come to the kitchen to help make dumplings. Now you can just sit there and wait to eat without making any dumplings. And yet you keep saying so many weird things every day. Where does all this resentment come from?"
After these words were spoken, the big man's face looked a little ugly, his lips moved, but no words came out.
Such behavior made Jia Dongsheng certain that this guy was not an enemy spy, but was probably pushed out by someone.
As for the reason?
It's very simple. When he opened his mouth to speak just now, he started to say words to sow discord. Jia Dongsheng thought that the other party was rough but cunning, but unexpectedly, he was a smart guy. Those words must have been taught by someone else.
But at this moment, after Jia Dongsheng finished speaking, the entire cafeteria became quieter. They could see that Jia Dongsheng's resentment seemed to be no less than theirs.
Since they all have grievances, they are in the same group. So whose fault is it?
The factory leader.
Workers should not make things difficult for workers.
Feeling the atmosphere was suppressed by him, Jia Dongsheng continued: "Okay, those who want to eat dumplings, hurry up and line up. Each person will get forty dumplings."
"Forty dumplings, is that a lot?"
"What the hell, who can eat forty dumplings?"
"I can eat 120 dumplings every time I eat them. Forty of them wouldn't even be enough to fill my teeth."
"Yeah, we waited five or six days, and in the end, there were only forty dumplings. How can that be enough to eat?"
"I think the factory leaders don't value us. They just want to use a few small things to get rid of us."
"That's right. After dinner, we'll continue making trouble. If you don't give us an explanation, we'll tear down the administration building."
“…”
As soon as the number of forty dumplings was announced, the workers, who had been quiet, started shouting again.
Obviously, whether those who are really causing trouble or those who are just following the crowd, are not satisfied with this number.
There's no way around it. People of this era have bigger appetites than those of later generations. Moreover, since it's hard to eat once a year, they are even more eager to eat dumplings.
Therefore, every time we eat dumplings, we have to eat a few more. Because of this situation, forty dumplings are indeed not enough. If there were sixty, the workers' reaction would probably be better.
"What are you arguing about? Are you going to eat or not? If not, get out. This will give those who are eating more food."
Jia Dongsheng will not tolerate them. A group of people just follow the crowd, and when someone instigates them, they don’t know their own weight and follow people with ulterior motives to start making trouble.
He doesn't even think about how hard it is to have a good life now, and he still joins others in causing trouble. He is simply brainless.
How is this different from later generations where people follow a group of bad-intentioned people online and cyberbully others without knowing the truth?
They are all so hateful.
Jia Dongsheng's words made the air quiet again, and then people began to line up silently. As for those who left?
There wasn't one.
Forty dumplings are still dumplings. It’s better than having no food to eat, right?
