"How could the cafeteria, such an important strategic location, be so poorly managed? Uncle Liu doesn't even care about it?"
Looking at the crowd rushing to the cafeteria, Han Shuxin felt like he was back in his busy high school days.
The cafeteria is a microcosm of the military headquarters, and the people here are also divided into factions.
Entering the cafeteria, what caught my eye were two long queues, separated by an aisle.
The people queuing on one side were orderly, and from time to time they looked at the group of people on the other side who were pushing and shoving each other with mockery.
The other team that was being ridiculed was only focused on the food at window number one, fearing that they would be late for their meals and the delicious food would be taken away by others.
Yan Xun pulled Han Shuxin into the innermost area on the right. Zhang Yulong and Su Rui had already prepared the food and were waiting for them.
Han Shuxin sat down, looked at the four dishes and one soup on the table, picked up the chopsticks with a smile, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in her mouth, her eyes lit up instantly.
Such a familiar taste, isn’t it the craftsmanship of the Star Gate chef!
Han Shuxin looked at Yan Xun, her sparkling eyes instantly shining into Yan Xun's heart.
"If it tastes good, eat more!"
Yan Xun picked up the chopsticks and put another piece of sweet and sour pork ribs into Han Shuxin's bowl.
“Mmm… so delicious!”
After saying that, she picked up another piece of sweet and sour pork ribs. It was so delicious that she almost swallowed it with her tongue. She kept nodding her head and didn't even bother to say a word.
Seeing this, Zhang Yulong also picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, tasted it, and kept praising it.
"Lao Ma's craftsmanship is really good."
Su Rui also picked up a piece and tasted it. It tasted really good. He swallowed the food in his mouth and looked at Yan Xun.
"Why not bring Lao Ma back to our Red Maple Community to be the head chef?"
The Hongfeng Community Canteen is the only large canteen in the base, and the food there is even richer than that in the base canteen.
The chef's cooking skills are not as good as Lao Ma's.
"That's a good idea," Zhang Yulong picked up another piece of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. It was fresh and delicious, and he loved it more and more the more he ate.
Han Shuxin's mouth was full of food, making it difficult for her to speak, so she could only nod hard to support Su Rui's decision.
Seeing that the three of them were enjoying their meal, Yan Xun glanced towards the kitchen and thought it would be a good idea to ask Lao Ma to come over.
Han Shuxin and the others were enjoying their meal when they heard a quarrel coming from the window where they were getting their food.
"What's wrong with you? I asked you to bring the sweet and sour pork ribs from window number two. You don't understand what I'm saying, do you?
The person next to me is Sun Peipei, the niece of Director Sun. If you don't know, please ask around. Don't offend this important person, understand?"
As she was speaking, a fawning, mean girl with prominent cheekbones, put her hands on her hips and pointed at the woman serving food in a domineering manner.
After saying that, he turned around and gave Sun Peipei beside him a flattering smile.
The woman serving the food smiled and wanted to bring the half-full bowl of sweet and sour pork ribs from window number two to window number one.
"This is the food from window number two. If you want to eat, go back to window number two and queue up."
At this time, a plain middle-aged woman in an apron came out from the kitchen, raised her hand to stop the woman's behavior, and said, "No matter who you are, you must abide by the rules."
The middle-aged woman in the apron is Chef Ma’s wife. She is known as Ma Dadan and is an impetuous woman.
Before the apocalypse, she worked as a nanny in a family near the western suburbs. After the apocalypse, she came to the base and followed her husband to do odd jobs in the kitchen.
Seeing that this woman dared to humiliate her in front of so many people, Sun Peipei's face became so long that it looked like a horse-faced demon.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to Miss Sun like that?"
Seeing that Sun Peipei was angry, the mean girl stepped forward, took a look at the woman's name tag, and spoke viciously.
"Liu Cuifen, right? From now on, you are fired. Get out immediately."
After saying this, Sun Peipei gave her an admiring look, and the mean girl smiled servilely.
Liu Cuifen suppressed her anger and forced a laugh.
"Ms. Sun, you should know that windows one and two are for diners from different departments."
The base has regulations that window number one is for people with special abilities and scientific researchers who have joined the military, while window number two is mostly for military personnel and government managers.
The dishes at each window are the same, but now that food is limited, the dishes that everyone likes sell out faster.
There is an unwritten rule in the cafeteria: whoever comes early eats better.
So, when it is time for dinner, people rush to the cafeteria.
"So what? All the food here is signed and approved by Director Sun. Without my uncle, Director Sun, you would all be left starving."
When talking about Manager Sun, Sun Peipei's face showed a proud and arrogant expression.
Liu Cuifen felt that this was inappropriate and retorted:
"Ms. Sun, the supplies here were indeed signed and approved by Supervisor Sun.
But this food was collected by everyone, not just one person. Don't you think that's right?"
Liu Cuifen didn't want to offend anyone, so she continued,
"Look, there's braised pork in window number one. Our old Ma is an expert at making braised pork. How about I give you a portion?"
Liu Cuifen took the cutlery from the mean girl and poured them a portion and a half of braised pork. She smiled and handed it to them, "Just make do with it. Come earlier next time."
You're sending her away with just this little bit of braised pork?
Pooh!
Sun Peipei sneered and knocked over the plate handed to her by Liu Cuifen, with undisguised anger and contempt in her eyes.
"I told you to get out, didn't you hear me?"
She hates eating greasy braised pork the most. This stupid woman is really asking for death.
Sun Peipei threw a fireball at Liu Cuifen, but fortunately the glass guardrail blocked it. Liu Cuifen screamed and narrowly avoided Sun Peipei's fireball.
"You, you want to kill someone!" Liu Cuifen was angry and scared. She had lived for most of her life and had never met such a shameless woman.
The fake smile on his face could no longer be maintained, and his chest was filled with anger, which kept rising and falling, but he had to bow his head when he was under someone else's roof.
She silently took off her apron, opened the fence, and walked out from the window where she got food.
When the woman serving food saw their chef's wife being bullied, she rolled her eyes, quietly backed away, slowly disappeared from everyone's sight, and retreated to the back kitchen.
Seeing that Sun Peipei was arrogant and cursed people and chased people away whenever she wanted, everyone couldn't help but feel sorry for Liu Cuifen.
"The cafeteria isn't owned by your family. What right do you have to break the rules set by the base?"
"Yeah, yeah, that's really unreasonable."
"Because they have relatives who are high-ranking officials, they look down on ordinary people."
"you do not say!"
"He's a bully."
Listening to everyone talking, Sun Peipei became furious and wanted to drag all of them out and beat them up.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like that?" Sun Peipei glanced at the few people who had just talked back, and they all fell silent.
She turned her head and glared at Liu Cuifen. If it weren't for this old fool's retort, how could these people dare to mock her.
She rolled her eyes, sneered, raised her hand and slapped Liu Cuifen hard in the face.
She couldn't teach other people a lesson casually, but this cafeteria helper had no fear when fighting. She wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and let these people see what would happen if they offended her, Sun Peipei.
