After calculating the amount of food, Uncle Qin and others were a little troubled.
Indeed, the horse-drawn, ox-drawn, and donkey-drawn carts they brought had a good load capacity, but compared with the more than 20,000 kilograms of grain, they were nothing.
The load capacity of a horse-drawn carriage is only about one thousand pounds. An ox-drawn cart is a little heavier, about two thousand pounds. A donkey-drawn cart is less than one thousand pounds. Together, they only weigh a few thousand pounds.
Twenty-four thousand kilograms of grain is enough to be transported five or six times, which will take several days.
"Director Fang, my uncle and his family can't transport so much food. Can you help deliver it?"
Jia Dongsheng saw the dilemma faced by Uncle Qin and the others, and couldn't help but offer some suggestions.
As Jia Dongsheng spoke, Uncle Qin and others turned their attention to Fang Zhuo.
"This is a bit difficult."
Fang Zhuo's face showed an awkward expression. He said, "Captain Qin, I have to ask the higher-ups for instructions on this. The loading and unloading department and the transport team have tasks every day. If they want to help transport food, they need the permission of the leaders. I don't have that authority."
"Director Fang, the situation of this meat must be reported to the leaders. Why not do it together?" Jia Dongsheng continued.
"Well, Dongsheng, you are right. I will go and report now."
He was about to leave, but when he looked at Uncle Qin and the others, he stopped and said, "Dongsheng, please make some arrangements quickly and cook a few dishes to entertain Captain Qin and the others."
"Director Fang, that's not necessary. We can just go back and eat later."
Before Jia Dongsheng could say anything, Uncle Qin waved his hands to indicate that it was not necessary. As long as he could help with the food issue, it didn't matter whether he had the meal or not.
"That won't do. Since you've come to our factory, you're our guest. How can we not have a meal?"
Fang Zhuo sternly instructed Jia Dongsheng, "Dongsheng, Captain Qin and the others are now in your care. Make sure you make all the arrangements."
"Captain Qin, I'll be back to have a drink with you after I finish my report. Please wait a moment."
With that, he left in a hurry, and Jia Dongsheng looked at Uncle Qin and the others: "Dad, Uncle, Second Uncle, why don't we go in and have something to eat?"
"Oh, okay, okay."
Uncle Qin, Uncle Qin II, Father Qin and the others also felt a little hungry and nodded. Since Fang Zhuo was so enthusiastic, they would not refuse.
Jia Dongsheng led everyone to a private room on the second floor. After arranging for everyone to sit down, he went to the kitchen to prepare.
"Dongsheng, you're here."
Qin Huairu and Liu Lan had just finished their private conversation and returned to the kitchen when they saw Jia Dongsheng coming in.
"Well, hurry up and prepare the food. Make a table full of six dishes."
Jia Dongsheng nodded and then gave orders.
"Master, do we have to do it now?"
At this time, Liu Lan looked at Jia Dongsheng with a slightly strange look in her eyes, and her face was even a little red. Jia Dongsheng was a little confused, but did not think much about it. Little did he know that these two little women were already secretly plotting against him.
"Well, let's do it now. Let's start preparing and steam the buns first."
"Okay, I'll go steam the buns now."
Liu Lan said as she went to prepare. When it comes to work, Liu Lan is indeed a good hand, while Qin Huairu is a little confused: "Dongsheng, where did the guests come from? They come to the factory so early in the morning."
"Hehe...you are very familiar with these guests."
"Um?"
Qin Huairu was puzzled: "Am I familiar with it?"
I was thinking to myself, "I've been in the city for so many years, and apart from the people in the hospital and the factory, I know less than ten people in total. Who can I be familiar with?
"It's your father, second uncle, and my father-in-law. They're here to deliver prey to the factory."
Seeing Qin Huairu's confusion, Jia Dongsheng stopped teasing her and said, "It's in the largest private room on the second floor. Do you want to go up and take a look?"
"real?"
Qin Huairu screamed in surprise, attracting the attention of everyone in the kitchen. They all looked at her curiously, wondering why she was screaming so loudly.
But Qin Huairu didn't care about that. She just said hello to Jia Dongsheng and ran out immediately.
Shaking his head, Jia Dongsheng ignored him and started preparing the dishes for the reception.
Since Fang Zhuo personally ordered the preparation of the dishes for the reception, it could not be dealt with simply, so Jia Dongsheng carefully selected the six dishes.
Uncle Qin and others are not important people, so there is no need to make the dishes very exquisite. The best way to entertain them is to make them delicious and large in quantity.
There is still some meat in the factory, and since so much meat was purchased today, Jia Dongsheng made two meat dishes.
Meat dishes and hard dishes have different standards.
Meat dishes are dishes that have both meat and vegetables, such as minced meat with tofu, minced meat with eggplant, and stir-fried meat with chili peppers.
The main dishes are all meat dishes, such as braised pork, braised pork elbow, and braised spare ribs. Only meat and no vegetables are the main dishes.
Jia Dongsheng made two meat dishes: boiled fish and minced meat and eggplant. The vegetarian dishes were stir-fried kohlrabi, mapo tofu, dried tofu with chili peppers, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
It can be said that all of them are good dishes to go with rice, allowing Uncle Qin and others to have a good meal.
While preparations were being made in the kitchen, Fang Zhuo had already arrived at the administrative building of the steel mill.
It is called an administrative building, but it actually only has three floors, which cannot be compared with the administrative buildings of later generations.
Fang Zhuo did not go to Director Yang's office immediately because Director Yang's main concern was the factory's production tasks, and other things were not that important in Director Yang's mind.
The person in charge of the cafeteria entrance is Li Huaide.
This is also why Jia Dongsheng only needed Li Huaide's words to enter the factory, and he became a level five chef directly after entering the factory. He is the main responsible leader.
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Enter."
Li Huaide looked up at Fang Zhuo who came in, feeling a little curious. This was someone who only came to his place once a month. Whenever he had something to do, he would go to the cafeteria to find Fang Zhuo. Why did he come here today?
"Lao Fang, why are you here?" Li Huaide asked with a hint of curiosity.
"Director Li, I have something to report."
"What's up?"
Li Huaide was even more curious about what could be going on at the cafeteria entrance. "Okay, sit down and talk."
"Why."
After answering, Fang Zhuo sat down cautiously. He didn't dare to fill the stool yet, so he only sat halfway, feeling very restrained.
There was no way out. Li Huaide was his immediate superior. If he offended Li Huaide, his career would be over. This was the man who had the power of life and death over him. Fang Zhuo couldn't be careless, so he behaved a little humbly.
"Director Li, this is what happened."
As he spoke, Fang Zhuo told him in detail how Jia Dongsheng had just arranged for Qinjiagou to send several carts of prey to exchange for food. However, there was too much food and they couldn't take it back, so they wanted the factory to send some.
After hearing Fang Zhuo's words, Li Huaide was a little shocked. He didn't expect that someone in the cafeteria could do such a big thing without saying a word.
