"Is there nothing to do today? Lao Xu." Wang Jun lit the cigarette for himself.
"It's okay, it's okay. As long as you don't leave the steel rolling mill, you can go wherever you like!" Xu Qiang waved his hand and said with a look of disgust on the four of them.
Li Ming felt relieved when he saw this. He sat down on his seat and started to spread it out. After all, there is nothing going on now, and I don’t have any unplanned material requirements in the first month. I’ll just put it out one day at a time. Anyway, the things in my space are growing vigorously, and I don’t have to worry about not having anything to eat next year.
After a while, Xu Qiang seemed to have thought of something and looked up at Li Ming.
"By the way, Mingzi, are you anxious to become a regular employee?"
Li Ming immediately perked up when he heard that it was about the small amount of money he earned every month, "That's for sure. After becoming a full-time employee, it will be 42.5 yuan per month, which is much more than what I am currently earning during my internship."
"Does my beloved section chief have any connections?"
Xu Qiang looked at Li Ming with this expression and suddenly felt that Sangu's days might be more lively in the future. He refilled his cigarette and then said, "I just remembered that some time ago, the leadership of our steel rolling mill had a new policy for our procurement. Notification issued.”
"As an intern, if you can purchase a certain amount of unplanned supplies, you can be exempted from the three-month internship period and become a full-time employee directly. But I forgot about this a few days ago."
Li Ming looked at his stock manager's convincing words. How could you forget such an important thing? It's really just salty fish if you co-author it.
"Are there any requirements for purchasing materials to become a regular employee?"
"I didn't go into details, but what I know is that an intern at Ergu brought a pig back from the countryside last month, and he was promoted at the beginning of this month."
"If you have a way to find these unplanned supplies, you can become a regular employee three months in advance, which is equivalent to earning one month's salary in vain."
Li Ming nodded when he heard this, "Okay, I'll ask if I'm okay recently."
What I was thinking about were the two little piglets in my own space. It would probably take about a month for them to grow up, but if I took them out, I would have to find a way to add some.
At noon, the steel rolling mill bell rang.
Chief Xu took the lead and rushed to the second canteen with the rice bowl.
"Come on, let's go to the second cafeteria. If we get there late, the queue will be long. There won't be anything good for us when it's our turn."
The six of them each picked up their own food and ran to the second canteen of the steel rolling mill as a group.
This steel rolling mill is now a medium-to-large factory with tens of thousands of employees. The steel rolling mill is responsible for lunch for these tens of thousands of people, so there are several canteens of various sizes in the steel rolling mill.
The Second Canteen that Xu Qiang mentioned is the canteen where Sha Zhu is located. From what Xu Qiang meant, Sha Zhu’s cooking skills are very good now. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have seen many people going straight to the Second Canteen along the way. The only way is to stay away from the Second Canteen. It didn't pass.
Today is Li Ming's first day at work, and he is still very curious about tens of thousands of people having lunch together.
People these days are still relatively thin, unlike in later generations where it is easy to gain weight. There are even a lot of people with disheveled faces who look sallow and thin.
But people's energy is really good, especially workers in large state-owned factories. They have good jobs and high wages. The main reason is that workers these days have high status, so they all look full of energy.
Moreover, now is also a new era in which the people are the masters of the country. Everyone on the street is full of energy!
"Xiao Ming, maybe you didn't know that you just came here today. There is a cook named Shazhu in the second cafeteria who is very good at cooking in our steel rolling mill. Sometimes when he gets there late, the food at the window he is responsible for has to be wiped out! "
Xu Qiang began to introduce the steel rolling mill to Li Ming.
"But that cook has a bad mouth and can't speak. I heard that he likes a married woman in their hospital! What a pity for his skills, tsk." Zheng Ping added on the side.
Li Ming chuckled, "I know that. I live in a courtyard with He Yuzhu, also known as Silly Zhu, but I live in the front courtyard and he lives in the middle courtyard. His cooking skills are indeed good."
"It's true that he has a bad mouth. Not many normal people in the courtyard are willing to talk to him. Moreover, the projectionist of our steel rolling mill, Xu Damao, is also from our courtyard and lives in the backyard. These two people are not naturally able to deal with each other, and they will fight each other whenever they meet!"
"Brother Ping said that the married woman that Sha Zhu likes is called Qin Huairu. Her husband is a fitter in our steel rolling mill. His name is Jia Dongxu. He Yuzhu wants to meet Qin Huairu."
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, what a gossip!
"Mingzi, this stupid Zhu really likes women he marries?" Wu Gang looked curious.
Li Ming nodded. It would be weird if He Yuzhu didn't like Qin Huairu!
"And since Qin Huairu married into our hospital, he has been too lazy to go to the matchmakers on the street to introduce him to a partner." Li Ming looked like you were guessing.
"Tsk, tsk, this stupid Zhu is ugly, but he wants to be beautiful, and he still misses the woman who has a father." Zhou Tian teased, stroking the mustache on his chin.
"Stop talking, hurry up and queue up so that people can hear us gossiping." Xu Qiang quickly brought the topic back.
"Old Xu, you are mainly afraid that the cook will shake the spoon for you, haha." Wang Jun said with a smile from the side.
Xu Qiang glared at these unreliable people, "As long as you keep saying it."
After saying that, they started queuing up. Sangu usually had nothing to do, so it was quite early for them to arrive, and there were only a few people waiting in line in front of them.
Soon it was Li Ming's turn.
"Brother Zhuzhu, make some food." Li Ming said to the square-faced He Yuzhu in front of him.
He Yuzhu took a look and saw that he was still from his own courtyard. He didn't call himself Silly Zhu and spoke happily.
"Mingzi comes to work in the steel rolling mill! Okay, man! Come to this cafeteria often from now on. Brother Zhuzhu won't shake the spoon for you, haha."
As he said that, he took a big spoonful from the bucket and put it into a bowl for Li Ming.
Li Ming quit when he saw something good, and it was true that he would not lose a piece of meat if he praised him for a few words, and it would be true if he could reap the benefits.
"Okay, Brother Zhuzhu, I'm going to eat first." After saying hello, Li Ming left. There were many people waiting behind him.
He found the seat that Wang Jun had occupied in advance and sat down on it.
"Oh, so much? You gave me two spoonfuls." Zheng Ping looked surprised.
"That's right. I'm a neighbor of the same courtyard after all. I haven't offended him. It's really stupid to call him Silly Zhu." Li Ming looked at the plenty of vegetables in his bowl and said happily.
The six of them had lunch lively. Not to mention, this was Li Ming's first time eating the food cooked by He Yuzhu, and it was indeed good.
"Master, do you know the man who cooked the meal just now?" Ma Hua asked from the side.
He Yuzhu nodded, "We know each other. We are from the same hospital. He is in the front yard. He must have just joined the steel rolling mill in the past two days."
