The next day, at Tao Ji's construction site.
Before work started, the contractor came to everyone and announced, "I have good news for you all. The previous canteen chef has been fired for withholding your meal allowance. Now, Master Tao has specially invited a chef from a hotel to cook for you all! You can go and try the breakfast made by the new chef!"
Qin Guangqing and others were a little surprised to hear the news. They didn't expect Tao Ji to attach so much importance to this matter.
But on second thought, it makes sense, after all, this is a TV show.
Upon hearing this, the odd-job workers asked, "Boss Cai, can we odd-job workers also go to have breakfast?"
The contractor was stunned for a moment, thought about it and did not answer, pretending not to hear it.
Qin Guangqing saw this scene and felt mixed emotions.
The odd-job worker was relieved. He patted the large plastic water bottle he carried with him and said, "It doesn't matter. We already knew that there would be no meals, so we came here specially after having breakfast!"
The others also smiled, feeling somewhat disappointed in their hearts, and in their hearts they cursed the contractor for being stingy.
…
At noon, the odd jobs were all ready to follow Gao Xiaolong to Xu Shang's place for lunch. At this time, someone from Qin Guangqing's side finally couldn't help but ran to ask Gao Xiaolong:
"Xiaolong, can we also go to your place for dinner? We can pay you!"
“That’s right!”
"It should be no problem!" Gao Xiaolong thought. If Xu Shang didn't agree, he would just use the useless threat from last time. At the same time, Gao Xiaolong subconsciously looked at Qin Guangqing.
After all, Qin Guangqing was still very caring towards him.
Other people in the construction team also looked at Qin Guangqing.
Qin Guangqing was a little hesitant. A new chef had been hired this morning and the food tasted quite good, but there was always a big chicken leg in red oil floating around in his mind, as if haunted by a ghost.
If I don’t eat it once, I always feel like my life is regretful.
Qin Guangqing knew that he was the leader of the work team, and everyone believed in him. Although some people went directly to ask Gao Xiaolong, most of them were still waiting for his decision.
If I really say no, they will definitely be disappointed and choose to follow my decision.
In that case...
"Then let's go together and try the red oil chicken thighs."
"Okay, okay, Qintou, I want to try it too!"
"Me too!"
Qin Guangqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that he was not the only one who was obsessed with the big chicken drumstick in red oil.
As a result, when they arrived at Xu Shang's cafeteria, they saw.
Hey, it’s someone I know!
People from the program crew also came here to line up.
"Xu Shang, why is it four yuan for others and five yuan for us?" A staff member of the program crew was complaining to Xu Shang about the one yuan extra price.
Xu Shangze said calmly: "Are you a villager from Tianya Village?"
“This…is not it.”
"Are you related to Tianya Village?"
“Neither do I.”
"That's it. Besides, is five dollars expensive? Did I make any money from you?"
"That's true!" The program staff nodded. After all, judging by today's dishes, this meal at five dollars is really a good deal.
When Qin Guangqing heard this, he quickly took out five dollars, but he was still worried that Xu Shang would not accept them eating here.
After all, they are Xu Shang's opponents.
Moreover, some of them had laughed at Xu Shang's construction team... Although they just thought that the skills of Xu Shang's construction team were a bit amateurish at the time, they did not have any bad intentions.
Finally, it was their turn.
Xu Shang raised his head and looked at Qin Guangqing and others in front of him. It was not difficult for him to have a deep impression of these people. After all, each of them had such good attributes, which gave Xu Shang a severe blow at that time.
Qin Guangqing also handed over five dollars and smiled. Gao Xiaolong wanted to help:
"Um, Xu Shang..."
Xu Shang suddenly said, "It's true that 5 yuan a piece, but migrant workers are all one family, so let's just charge the cost price of 4 yuan."
Qin Guangqing's body trembled slightly, and an inexplicable emotion rushed into his heart.
Having worked on the construction site for many years, he hadn't heard such special words for a long time.
"Qintou, don't just stand there! There's a long line behind you. If you don't hit me, I'll hit you first!"
Another worker came over and asked Xu Shang excitedly, "No red oil chicken drumsticks today?"
"Sorry, we don't have red oil chicken thighs today. We can't always eat the same thing."
The man showed a regretful expression, but then he heard Xu Shang say:
"We have grilled lamb chops today!"
At this moment, the man noticed that in a large basin beside him were sizzling, fragrant lamb chops. The aroma mixed with cumin kept drilling into his nostrils, making him swallow his saliva with greed.
Qin Guangqing was also stunned for a moment.
rack of lamb?
Can you eat lamb chops in the construction site canteen?
He took a closer look and found that although the lamb chop was not as thick as the chicken leg, its width was the same as the chicken leg. This thing, in terms of unit price, would definitely not be cheaper than the chicken leg.
The problem is that he only paid four dollars!
A large spoonful of lamb stewed with carrots, a large spoonful of stewed seasonal vegetables, and finally a lamb chop as big as half a face was placed on the rice. At the end, Xu Shang did not forget to add: "There is also free lamb offal soup, if you want it, make it yourself!"
As for whether or not it makes money, there is definitely no money to be made.
This is all thanks to Xu Shang's skill in butchering an ox. He buys the sheep himself and kills them himself, refusing to use middlemen to make a profit. If he had bought the fresh lamb chops from someone else, he would have lost a lot of money.
Qin Guangqing put the prepared rice on the dining table and also made a big bowl of mutton offal soup. Seeing the generous amount of mutton offal and vermicelli in the mutton offal soup, he couldn't help but take a sip.
Hiss, it’s so hot, but…
So fresh!
If you sell this bowl of mutton soup for two or three dollars outside, there will definitely be a lot of people buying it.
Here, it’s free?
It's free!
"Boss Qin, it was the right decision to come here today!" The worker took a bite of the lamb chop and immediately showed an extremely happy expression, "It's so delicious! This is really delicious!"
A worker next to him shook his head and sighed: "I have worked on the construction site for so many years, but I have never eaten lamb chops in the construction site cafeteria. This is the first time I have eaten it, and I guess I will never forget it in my life."
Qin Guangqing was in a complicated mood. Yes, in this day and age, if a construction site could provide you with enough pork by weight, it was already quite conscientious.
Lamb chops?
In other words, it is only through kindness of the big boss during festivals that he can arrange for the workers.
While everyone here was sighing with emotion, over there in Tao Ji Canteen, the chef's face was extremely gloomy.
In the entire cafeteria, there were only a handful of people coming to eat, so many that they could be counted on one hand.
