Return To 1977 Chapter 608: Canteen

lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

Eating is a top priority.

As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people. There is also a famous saying that people are like rice or steel. If you don't eat one meal, you will starve.

So if the government wants to win the hearts and minds of the people, it must do a good job in the "vegetable basket" and "rice bag" projects. If a unit leader wants to satisfy his employees, he must also do a good job in the "rice bowl" project.

To put it bluntly, although the quality of the canteen has nothing to do with political performance, it directly determines whether the leader is worthy of the support and trust of employees.

It's just that this thing looks simple but is difficult to do well. Again, the foundation of the unit must be strong first, and secondly, it must have good leaders who take the people at heart, otherwise the canteen will never be better.

Poor food and disparity in quality are undoubtedly the most common problems in most workplace canteens.

No way, there are very real problems here.

It’s not easy to get something. The best must be reserved for the leaders’ canteen, and the employee meals must be sold cheaply. How can there be no disparity?

This is the case at the furniture factory where brother Hong Yanwu works. The boss’s menu consists of two meat and one vegetable dishes, all made with good ingredients. The staff's menu is reversed, with two vegetarian dishes and one meat dish.

And that's not to mention, the staff dishes are completely in vain. Like tomatoes and eggs, the ratio of red to yellow is definitely nine to one. Green pepper pork slices are fattened pork slices cooked with green peppers, without even adding oil.

The most amazing thing is that their canteen often serves both meat and vegetables, and the series of recipes they introduce are classics.

For example, the big meat dish is "fried eggs", the small meat dish is "fried eggs and cucumbers", and the vegetarian dish is of course "fried cucumbers". Or, one meat and one vegetable dish, "Ants climbing a tree" is actually sold with "fried vermicelli".

The canteen is suitable and the cooks have less trouble. Who among the employees would be happy? No matter how cheap you are, no one is willing to eat it.

So in the past, Hong Yanzheng would not waste the money even if he ate pickled corn buns. Now that things are getting better at home, he is just afraid that the rice will go rancid when the weather is hot, just for convenience.

Of course, in order to avoid public criticism, some canteens not only operate small canteens. Xu Manli’s “Red Flag Factory” is an example of this.

But on the surface it was fair and consistent, but behind the scenes the canteen was playing tricks on the leaders by giving them meal tickets. Finally, when I wrote the price on the small blackboard, the price of meat dishes was always expensive. Who among the employees can afford it? Just change the soup but not the dressing.

In addition, there are many Shanxi people in the "Hongqi Factory", so the factor of hardship and simplicity is very strong.

So most of the canteens in "Hongqi Factory" mainly serve pasta. Sometimes I cook some noodles, get some vinegar, and just order "sugar water vegetables" and it's a complete meal. When it comes to improvement, everyone is celebrating Lai Dun Knife Noodles.

If compared with a canteen like this, the "Polar Bear" canteen is simply a paradise on earth. It was completely crushed in every aspect.

First of all, the "Polar Bear" canteen is particularly comprehensive in terms of service performance.

For the sake of employees who work two shifts, four meals a day are provided here all year round, including breakfast, lunch, dinner and night meal. It also has a special halal canteen for more than 200 Muslim employees.

Secondly, there is a wide variety of dishes.

In terms of ingredients, "Polar Bear" undoubtedly has special advantages. Even in particularly difficult times, the canned meat in the factory can be used to process it into a meat dish. It can completely guarantee sufficient oil and water and rich dishes.

Take dinner as an example. For example, the standard for each dinner in the Hanmin Canteen is three meat and three vegetables, while the standard for each meal in the Muslim Canteen is one meat and two vegetables.

Although the breakfast and late night meals were a bit inferior. But in this day and age, ask for six suits early. Four varieties are required for dinner. That's very considerate, and completely surpasses the food service provided by most restaurants.

For this reason, the canteen manager must decide on the recipes every week, and let the relevant leaders review and make a decision.

Finally. That is the price is too affordable.

On the surface, employees are no different from other factories. They need to use their own money to buy meal tickets. But in fact, the factory provides substantial subsidies for the canteen. The basic principle followed is that dishes should be sold to employees at cost price.

As a result, seasonal vegetables in the canteen can be purchased for as low as six cents. For example, cabbage in winter and cucumber in summer.

The most expensive luxury meat dish only costs one piece. For example, braised prawns and a whole yellow croaker that is enough for two people.

Free soup and pickles are also provided. In addition, the most important thing is that there is no need to pay gas stamps, meat stamps and food stamps.

This is awesome. Many workers even stopped working at home. I bought it from the work canteen and took it home after get off work. It was more cost-effective than anything else.

In this way, no matter how "corrupt" the leader's canteen is, the employees will not have any complaints.

After all, it is more lovely to think about the corrupt officials below than to clean up the honest officials who make everyone miserable.

It was also because of the above reasons that when Zhao Honglin took Hong Yanwu and six other new employees to the administrative department to exchange for meal tickets. He reminded them.

It is said that the factory canteen is cheap, as long as you don’t eat three meals a day in the factory. Fifteen yuan a month is enough for a man. Girls Shuiqing and Lan Zhaodi might not be able to eat even ten yuan.

What Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan didn't expect was that they still had special privileges. Zhao Honglin told them that as a cafeteria employee, they only need to pay a fixed amount of seven yuan a month to eat as the boss. It's more cost-effective than other employees, and it definitely doesn't cost you anything.

No, the professional superiority of Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan became apparent when they waited in line to eat.

The specific situation at that time was this.

Zhao Honglin is a Hui, so he did not follow the six people into the Han canteen. Just bring it to the door and ignore it.

And because there are more than a thousand people on the day shift, the dining space in the cafeteria is quite limited. Hong Yanwu and the others went in and discussed that the men might as well line up. Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan helped the two girls buy the food, and Shui Qing and Lan Zhaodi could occupy some seats for everyone.

As a result, Yin Guangming and Xiao Heping finished their meals. When it was Hong Yanwu's turn, he lowered his head and said inside, "Master, the two of us are on a quota. The administrative department said that I can just let you know." The fat master inside was happy.

He also lowered his head and looked out of the window to recognize the person.

"Hey, I heard in the first few days that two people are coming, are you the only one? I also heard that you two are from Tianxingju, and you know how to make fried liver, right?"

The attitude is quite friendly, this is my future colleague. Hong Yanwu nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, my level is average. Please pay more attention to me in the future."

Seeing that he was quite humble, the fat master was even happier. "I'm not going to hide it from you, I have to go to Tianxingju at least twice a month. The fried liver at your place is delicious. It's a good time to have you here. Don't be polite, I will be one of my own from now on, I think. Tell me what to eat..."

What to eat? Hong Yanwu simply placed the four lunch boxes. He said he wanted "braised chicken nuggets", "charred meatballs", "tomato cauliflower", "three diced braised peas", two meat and two vegetarian dishes, and two portions of four taels and two portions of two taels of rice. But he didn't know how the quota was calculated, and he had to help the two girls bring food.

Unexpectedly, the fat chef didn't ask for a meal ticket at all. With one big spoon, all four lunch boxes were filled with vegetables. He also asked the people behind him to bring four large bowls to serve them rice. If you can't say enough, just come back to Sheng.

Okay, these are the dishes, even if the six of them can eat them together. And the most important thing is that the master chef didn't use his magic hand-shaking skills. The chicken nuggets were all good pieces of meat, and there was absolutely no chicken **** mixed with them. The Jiaoliu meatballs are also really good, with few yellow flowers and few fungus.

Not to mention making the people behind them yell with envy, it also made Yin Guangming regret it and said, "I knew it would have been better to let you fight first, then Xiao Heping and I would have been spared."

You can see your character now. Xiao Heping said nothing and only stretched out his hands to help pick up things. Yin Guangming kept talking about it endlessly.

Following to the table, Hong Yanwu asked everyone to share these four boxes of vegetables. This kid has revealed his true colors even more. He is a bad person when he eats food, and he picks it up with a spoon and puts it in his lunch box to greet others. He doesn't know how to let others know.

But this guy is annoying, and he didn't end up well in the end.

Just when everyone got up after finishing their meal, they were about to clean the lunch boxes together. As soon as Yin Guangming left his seat, he suddenly found a puddle of oil on the seat he had just sat on, and then found that his pants and buttocks were also stained with a large area, which was very indecent!

God knows that he is short of oil and water, so he actually let him eat a lot of oil in this meal!
