The food problem of Tao Ji construction team was solved by a hired chef.
After all, ever since Brother Fu left, Xu Shang’s canteen naturally closed down, and Tianya Village Cuisine did not open in the village, so the construction team had to solve the problem of eating by themselves.
This certainly did not pose a problem for the contractor. He immediately found his brother-in-law's family who ran the canteen, and at the same time contacted the program crew who were also worried about the food problem. Finally, they reached an agreement on a food standard of 15 yuan per person per day.
Of course, the standard of fifteen was set by the crew. The foreman paid for the workers' meals, so he lowered it to ten yuan.
Ten yuan is not a bad standard these days. In this era of barbaric growth, many construction sites just use cabbage vermicelli to fool migrant workers. But this place is not that good, after all, his brother-in-law still needs to make money.
Qin Guangqing came to the temporary canteen, and the people in the front of the line were the crew. The contractor's brother-in-law added an extra chicken leg to their lunch boxes, but when it came to Qin Guangqing, the chicken leg was gone.
Qin Guangqing was used to this. It was not one or two days since workers were treated differently. It was already quite good to be able to eat a big spoonful of stewed meat with beans, cabbage vermicelli and shredded potatoes.
Gao Xiaolong followed Qin Guangqing. Although he knew that he could also eat Xu Shang's cooking when he got home, and the taste was much better than that of others outside, he preferred the feeling of being self-reliant.
Just as I was about to serve the food, a voice rang out.
"Who told you to eat here?"
Gao Xiaolong paused and turned around to see the contractor approaching him aggressively. He looked at Gao Xiaolong with disdain and shouted:
"You are a part-time worker! When we recruited you, did we say that lunch would be provided for part-time workers? Aren't you all from this village? Don't you know how to go home and eat? You only know how to take advantage of others!"
Gao Xiaolong felt that everyone's eyes were on him, and the questioning looks were like burning fire, making him anxious.
At this time, Qin Guangqing hurriedly said: "Brother Cai! I came here to ask him to have dinner with us!"
"You asked him to come over? You asked him to come over and he came over? How shameless!"
The contractor glanced at Qin Guangqing coldly and said, "The food here is fixed. The standard for everyone is fixed. What's the point of letting an outsider in? What if he eats what others eat! Are you the only one who can be a pushover?"
At this moment, Qin Guangqing was also embarrassed.
He originally thought that he had some face, but he didn't expect that this contractor would not give him any face at all.
"Mr. Qin, I'm sorry, I made things difficult for you!"
Gao Xiaolong put down the plate in his hand, lowered his head, and walked out quickly. There were several other odd jobs with him, but some of them had already made up their minds that after getting paid, they would never come here to work again.
The contractor didn't mind the odd-job workers leaving.
After all, what China lacks the most is people. If they don't want to work, there are plenty of people willing to do it. Otherwise, how can they support their wives and children?
Just rely on those few acres of broken land where you use seeds, pesticides and fertilizers all year round, but can't even make back the cost in a disaster year?
"I can never get enough to eat, and I can never do anything well!"
The contractor cursed, then turned around and said to Qin Guangqing in a haughty manner: "Old Qin, I'm not targeting you! It's just that rules are rules. The food standards here are set, and we can't just break the rules casually! Forget it this time, it's not too much for us not to know! You better pay attention next time!"
Qin Guangqing forced a stiff smile on his face, and watched the back of the departing boy out of the corner of his eye, feeling indescribably helpless.
But what can he do?
After all, I've become accustomed to being a coward.
Being popular, bullied and exploited, perhaps this is the inevitable fate of migrant workers.
…
"You have completed the self-study profession and obtained the 0.1 level chef profession!"
"Before this profession is upgraded to level 1, you cannot gain experience points through the profession template. Because this profession is derived from the snack chef, it will inherit the upgrade reward effect of the snack profession."
Xu Shang, who was cooking, suddenly lifted the pot with joy.
It turns out that you can really teach yourself a profession!
Looking at this level 0.1 chef, Xu Shang felt a strong sense of pride in his heart.
Although this profession is based on the snack chef, and although this profession is only level 0.1,
But after all, this is the profession that Xu Shang learned through his own hard work!
And it's an intermediate profession!
Even though it was only level 0.1, Xu Shang could feel some changes, such as his skills had been improved and he seemed to have figured out many tricks in his head.
Overall, it feels great!
What Xu Shang is doing now is, of course, lunch for his construction team.
The power of an intermediate profession is naturally not to be underestimated. With just a change of 0.1 level, the spatula in his hand seemed to have magic. As the seasonings were put into the pot just right, the smell of spices mixed with the slightly sour tomato and the aroma of eggs made the construction team members who were crying out for food outside shudder.
"Xiao Xu, when is the meal ready?"
"Yes, Brother Xu! We are waiting for dinner!"
"Don't be impatient! What are you in such a hurry for! Just wait for me one by one!"
After acquiring a new job, Xu Shang became more and more adept at it. He first used bean paste to simmer some very fragrant twice-cooked pork. At the same time, he took out the large piece of braised pork that had already been steamed from the steamer and poured the prepared oil on it. With a sizzling sound, the flavor immediately came out.
Looking at Jiang Daqiang and the others, their mouths were drooling and their eyes were longing, as if they wanted to eat Xu Shang.
Not far away, Gao Xiaolong and a few others who were leaving Tao Ji's construction site smelled the fragrance in the air and looked around.
"Whose delicious food is this? Why does it smell so good?"
"Just smelling it makes me hungry! What delicious food can you make?"
"The last time I ate something so delicious was the breakfast made by Brother Xu. The taste was so good! My mouth is watering!"
Subconsciously, they walked towards where the fragrance came from and immediately found Xu Shang's small cafeteria.
Xu Shang also saw Gao Xiaolong and immediately waved:
“Xiaolong! Go back and ask Grandma Sang and Uncle Jiang’s family to come over for dinner! And ask Jiang Xiaotiao and Yamei to bring two boxes of soda from the grocery store!”
Gao Xiaolong was stunned. He really didn't want to go there, but if he didn't do as Xu Shang said, then where should he go for lunch? But he always felt weird in his heart, a feeling of awkwardness, loss and finally sadness.
Xu Shang suddenly felt that Gao Xiaolong was a little strange. He took a closer look and asked, "Xiaolong? Who bullied you? In this small place, is there anyone who dares to bully my brother?"
You are obviously an outsider too!
Gao Xiaolong looked at Xu Shang with a look of confusion and said, "It's okay. I'll go call grandma and Uncle Jiang."
He turned around, the sad feeling still lingering in his heart, and he suddenly understood.
What made him sad was perhaps his original persistence in wanting to be self-reliant.
