After listening to Jia Dongsheng's list of dishes, Li Huaide fell into deep thought. If he could make all of these dishes, it would give the director of the steel rolling mill a great honor in front of his superiors!
But Li Huaide knew very well that it was impossible.
Where does the factory get so much meat and vegetables? It’s already a great thing to pick out a few of them to make. It’s already worthy of the scale of a factory with tens of thousands of employees.
For example, in a small factory, let alone choosing dishes to cook, there is not even a banquet.
After pondering for a moment, Li Huaide looked at Jia Dongsheng. As for the other chefs, he had ignored them.
"Dongsheng, what dishes do you think are best for National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival banquets?"
"Director Li, I'm thinking, can we pair different dishes for National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival?"
"Hey, that's a good idea."
Li Huaide's eyes lit up. Although he couldn't prepare so many dishes at once, he could divide them into two meals.
He looked at Jia Dongsheng with even more admiration. What is a talent? This is a talent!
It is very likely that the superior leaders will come to inspect during the National Day. When they see the best dishes, they will definitely suspect that the steel mill has tampered with the matter and moved the dishes for the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner to the National Day dinner.
It is not impossible for him to come for another inspection during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Thinking in this way, using different dishes for the two banquets will definitely be appreciated by the superiors.
"Dongsheng, what dishes do you think should be served for National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival?" Li Huaide asked expectantly.
"The main meat dish for National Day is lion's head, chicken, rabbit and mushroom stew, the semi-meat dish is pig-killing dish and minced meat tofu, and the vegetarian dish is hot and sour shredded potatoes and black and white cabbage."
As Jia Dongsheng spoke, he glanced at the others' reactions and saw that they were all nodding in agreement. He breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "For the Mid-Autumn Festival, the main meat dish will be twice-cooked pork and braised pork with potatoes. The secondary meat dish will be boiled fish and pork belly with beans, and the vegetarian dish will be celery powder and braised cabbage leaves in vinegar."
"What do you think of Comrade Jia Dongsheng's arrangements?" Li Huaide nodded after listening, feeling very satisfied.
Then look to the other chefs for advice.
But everyone is not a fool. They can all see that he is very satisfied with Jia Dongsheng's arrangement. What else can others say?
As for the only fool, Sha Zhu, who didn't give Li Huaide face, he was also very satisfied because Jia Dongsheng put twice-cooked pork into the Mid-Autumn Festival meat dish.
In this case, of course it was passed unanimously.
"Okay, in that case, the dishes are set."
Li Huaide smiled and continued to look at Jia Dongsheng: "Dongsheng, can you calculate how much meat is needed to make double portions of these dishes?"
Double?
This left all the chefs except Jia Dongsheng and Fang Zhuo confused. Why make double portions? Who were they going to feed them?
Sha Zhu almost couldn't hold it in anymore, thinking that the factory leaders were going to abuse their power for personal gain again. But before he could say anything, he suddenly remembered that even if the factory leaders wanted to abuse their power for personal gain, they couldn't eat the extra food for ten thousand people, right?
All eyes were focused on Jia Dongsheng. He calculated for a moment, "Director Li, speaking of pork alone, lion's head, twice-cooked pork, and braised pork with potatoes, these three meat dishes, consume the most pork."
"Other semi-meat dishes are mainly vegetable-based, with meat as a supplement. So, based on our 10,000 workers, a banquet would probably require 500 kilograms of pork."
"One thousand pounds?"
Hearing this number, Li Huaide breathed a sigh of relief. It did not exceed his budget, which was very good.
He had also learned from the purchasing department that a total of 2,000 kilograms of pork were obtained in October, and 1,000 kilograms were used, which did not affect the steel mill's monthly needs. This was perfect!
It not only ensures the workers' daily food needs, but also allows them to enjoy a big meal of meat during the holidays. What could be more perfect than this?
"Okay, that's settled then."
Without a word, Li Huaide cheered loudly, then looked at Fang Zhuo: "Director Fang, this is a battle, you have to fight well for our factory."
"It's only possible by the end of the year!"
Finally, he patted Fang Zhuo on the shoulder and gave him a hint. Just this one sentence made Fang Zhuo so excited that he couldn't control himself.
There's no other way. This is an opportunity for him to be promoted. Needless to say, he must put in 120,000 efforts to make the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival dinner a success.
He didn't understand at all that Li Huaide transferred him away just to make way for Jia Dongsheng.
After Li Huaide left, Fang Zhuo quickly did some ideological work for the eight kitchen team leaders, and also helped Li Huaide explain why he had to make double portions.
When everyone heard that the workers in the factory could eat one portion in the factory and take one portion away, they couldn't help but applaud excitedly.
This move is truly exciting.
With so many people in the factory, there are no secrets at all.
The factory decided to have one meal for the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival dinners and take one away. The decision spread throughout the factory in the afternoon and all the workers knew about it.
Then......
It's boiling.
There's no way not to boil.
Unlike regular meals in the cafeteria where you have to pay for meal tickets, the dinners held in the factory are free.
In other words, these two dinners were entirely hosted by the factory, which already made the workers very excited. Now they are even more excited, and their motivation to work has increased a lot.
The workshop director was afraid that the excitement would cause the parts to be unqualified, so he quickly put a tight rein on the workers, requiring them to take the work at hand more seriously, otherwise they would be disqualified from the dinner.
This punishment is too harsh. We all know that we will eat meat tomorrow. How can it be cancelled because of a mistake?
I immediately started working actively and seriously.
Not to mention the workers in the workshop, even the people in the cafeteria were very excited. Who doesn’t want to eat more meat?
"Dongsheng, do you think we should eat at the factory tomorrow, or take everything back and eat together?"
Hearing that she could eat one meal and take another, Qin Huairu also wanted to have a meal at the factory, and quickly asked Jia Dongsheng for his opinion.
"What? Of course I'm taking everything back!"
Jia Dongsheng rolled his eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, tomorrow is a day off. The dinner party has already increased our workload, and you still want to stay in the factory for a while longer."
"After the dishes are ready tomorrow and the leaders have finished their inspection, we will go home. It's a holiday and we should rest."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Qin Huairu smiled, then said, "By the way, Dongsheng, you asked me to ride my bike here this morning. Do you have anything else to do after get off work?"
"Of course there's something."
Jia Dongsheng said, "Of course we have to eat something good when we're on vacation. After get off work, I'll find someone to get some good food. We'll make delicious food every day during these few days of vacation."
"OK."
Qin Huairu was also happy when talking about food. There was nothing she could do. Although she was not greedy, she would rather eat good food. Who wants to suffer?
For example, if women can marry a man who drives a Ferrari, who would still be interested in a man who drives a BMW?
Isn't it better to cry in a Lamborghini than in a BMW?
