Lin Yue pointed to a pot of vegetables on the other side of the window and said, "Let's have a cabbage and tofu soup and two steamed buns."
Silly Zhu asked Liu Lan, who was standing behind him, to pick up the steamed buns. He took a spoon and poured it into the basin, lifted it up and poured it into Lin Yue's lunch box.
Hoo~
It looked like a full spoon, but it was full of soup. There were only a few vegetable leaves floating on it, but the tofu was still scattered.
No more revenge.
Lin Yue took the lunch box in front of him and looked at it, but did not take the steamed buns handed over by Liu Lan.
"He Yuzhu, open your eyes and see what this is?"
He pushed the lunch box toward the window, pointed at the black particles floating in the middle of the vegetable soup, and said: "How do you cook in the kitchen? Rat droppings can actually be mixed into the dishes."
Wow, the scene was in an uproar.
The two workers behind him leaned forward and took a look inside. The black stuff in the vegetable soup was definitely not sesame seeds, but just a few grains of mouse droppings.
"Let me take a look." Liu Lan's expression changed, and she leaned over to take a look: "It's true, Silly Zhu, this... didn't you notice it when you were choosing vegetables?"
Silly Zhu glared at Lin Yue and the workers waiting for food: "Is there any kitchen that doesn't want rats? If you like to eat, get out of here."
Anyone who knows his temper knows that this guy is acting stupid again.
Lin Yue held the lunch box and said: "There is rat droppings in the dishes, are you still excited? I will go to the director to sue you."
Silly Zhu likes to make mistakes, but he can still distinguish priorities. He is also afraid that Lin Yue will make things worse.
Yes, he is the boss of the cafeteria, but isn't there a cafeteria director above him?
"Isn't it just a pot of vegetables? Liu Lan, please remove the cabbage and tofu soup."
Liu Lan quickly removed the cabbage and tofu soup. She usually didn't deal with Silly Zhu, but she had to listen to him at the critical moment. After all, she didn't know whether she and Ma Hua didn't pay attention when choosing vegetables, or whether it was Silly Zhu's fault.
Lin Yue said: "Destroy the evidence, right? Everyone has seen it."
Silly Zhu ignored him and looked at the person behind him: "The next one."
It is indeed very disturbing to have something like this happen, but what can be done? You can't go hungry without eating. Anyway, the cabbage and tofu soup has been removed, so other dishes should be fine. At best, be careful when eating.
In the current era of scarcity, the rice bugs in your pocket can be eaten as meat, not to mention this situation that will happen every once in a while in any corporate cafeteria.
Lin Yue looked at the employees around him and said, "Come and judge, did he do this right?"
No one spoke, and no one said anything fair. They all looked at him indifferently, trying to protect themselves wisely. To paraphrase some people, they would rather offend the workshop director than the canteen villain.
In the workshop, as long as you work conscientiously and your skills are up to standard, the workshop director will have nothing to do with you. At most, he will stumbling over things like evaluating the advanced ones. After all, we are all just urban workers and poor and lower-middle peasants, and we do not violate principles. error and everything will be fine.
But here, once you are resented by the people in the cafeteria, chances are, you will be able to look good in the future.
Originally, food was supplied in rations. In this era, not many people dared to say that they could live comfortably with enough food and warm clothes. Just like Xu Damao did just now, half a spoonful of food was served and the steamed buns were given in smaller sizes. How could one live that life? ? Are you starving?
"You're not even talking, are you?"
Lin Yue squinted his eyes and glanced around, but no one said a word.
On the one hand, he has a bit of power and tries every means to seek personal gain and vent his anger, but on the other hand, he helps the tyrants do evil and condones evil deeds. In this case, don't blame him for playing dirty tricks.
"Okay, let's see."
Lin Yue handed over the top cover of the lunch box.
"What are you still doing?" Silly Zhu looked at him with a smug look on his face, thinking to himself, boy, you are in trouble this time. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people, and the mouth is the biggest. I am in charge of the rice spoon. I can control your mouth.
"My steamed buns."
When he said this, the lid of the lunch box was lowered, and no one saw his little finger move and put something in the vegetable soup.
Silly Zhu tilted his head: "Liu Lan, give him the steamed buns."
The woman who had just returned put two steamed buns on the lid of the lunch box.
"Next one." Silly Zhu shouted loudly.
Xu Damao watched Lin Yue being squeezed outside by the employees, and walked over and patted him on the shoulder: "The cafeteria is Silly Zhu's territory, and the factory director has to show some kindness. I think you should accept this coward."
Lin Yue slapped two steamed buns into Xu Damao's hands, walked to the corner of the cafeteria, poured the cabbage and tofu soup from the lunch box into the swill bucket, put his hands behind his back, and said: "I won't eat anymore." He walked away with his hands behind his back.
"Hey, you were wronged by Sha Zhu'er, why are you angry with Wu Zang Temple?" Xu Damao looked at the steamed buns in his hand, feeling a little unhappy that Lin Yue didn't commit the crime in court, and had a life-and-death fight with Sha Zhu'er that would hurt both sides.
…
In the morning, Xu Damao went to see Director Yang to discuss film selection. In the afternoon, the factory organized everyone to watch a movie. Xu Damao was debugging the equipment there when he saw Qin Huairu walking over with a country girl with delicate features, talking and laughing.
He remembered that Sha Zhu asked Qin Huairu to introduce him to someone, and thought that the local girl was Qin Huairu's cousin. After suffering such a loss in the cafeteria at noon, Lin Yue couldn't bear it anymore.
Of course, the more important point is that the girl is beautiful and lovely.
Xu Damao came over and mixed up the blind date between Qin Jingru and Shazhu. Qin Huairu sent Qin Jingru away after watching the movie without much persuasion.
Silly Zhu returned to the courtyard and waited for a long time but no one came. He went over and asked, "How are you doing?" When people heard that his nickname was Silly Zhu, he didn't look back after watching the movie.
Something else happened that night. The black porcelain jar Lin Guosong used to pickle radishes broke under the eaves of the west wing of the front yard.
At three or four o'clock in the morning, a pile of broken bricks smashed into the window of the second uncle Liu Haizhong's house. Several large holes were made. In the coldest month of winter, the couple was so cold that they could not sleep all night.
…
The next day, Ma Hua was cutting vegetables in the canteen, and Silly Zhu sat on the chair opposite and stared.
"Master, I heard that Xu Damao interfered with your blind date?"
"Go, go, don't open a pot or pick up a pot, I'm so annoyed."
"Master, you were never like this before. You said that Xu Damao, when did you not fall down hard? Just last time, you took a rolling pin and chased him around the factory several times, which made the grandson tired. Like a lost dog." Ma Hua stopped chopping vegetables: "But this time... Master, he did such an immoral thing, why didn't you react at all? This is wrong."
Silly Zhu turned pale and said: "How can I have the energy to take care of this? Do you know what happened this morning when Deputy Director Li called me over?"
Ma Hua nodded: "I know."
Just as Silly Zhu was about to explain to his apprentice why Deputy Director Li asked him to come over, he swallowed his words again: "I can tell you what I said."
"Master, could it be that... the incident yesterday caused a big fuss?"
"Hey, maybe someone calls you Mahua. It's okay if you don't listen to what you say once. Why do you come here a second time? Believe it or not, I will slap you."
"Okay, then I won't ask anymore, I won't ask anymore."
"I say MCA, don't attend the workers' meeting this afternoon."
"Why?" MCA was puzzled: "Aren't all employees in the factory participating?"
Silly Zhu said: "You asked for leave."
"No, Master, why should I ask for leave if I have nothing to do?" Ma Hua pouted with an unhappy look on his face.
Silly Zhu raised his head and said, "If I say you ask for leave, then you ask for leave."
Ma Hua said: "Master, can we speak some truth?"
Silly Zhu stared at him fiercely.
"Okay, okay, you are my master, you have the final say." Ma Hua slashed his knife and chopped the radish on the cutting board into two halves.
That evening, workers filed out of the workshop. Some took off their sleeves as they walked, while others dusted themselves off as they walked and said a few words to the workers behind them.
Meetings are boring, but compared to working, they are naturally much more comfortable.
Lin Yue followed Lao Xu towards the auditorium. On the way, he met Xu Damao, who was looking groggy, and said hello to him and came closer.
"Do you know what you're going to say in the meeting this afternoon?"
Lin Yue shook his head: "I don't know."
"Brother, I know." Xu Damao pointed at himself, with a proud look on his face.
Lao Xu glanced at him: "You are very well-informed."
"Of course." Xu Damao said, "Which department do I belong to, the Publicity Department? There is no reason why we should not be notified in advance when there is a meeting in the factory."
Lao Xu added: "Then tell me what you will talk about in the meeting later."
Just as Xu Damao was about to speak, he saw Lin Yue's uninterested expression and turned away: "If I had said that, wouldn't I have revealed the secret?"
"Virtue."
Lao Xu was too lazy to talk to him and quickly caught up with the workers in front of him to discuss how much gift Zhang Qiang would give when he married his wife in three days.
Lin Yue followed the flow of people to the auditorium. Hundreds of people had gathered under the stage. Some were sitting on the benches, some were standing, and some were secretly smoking and chatting in the corner. There was a faint smell of machine oil and sweat floating in the air.
Red paper hangs under the roof beams, with the unique slogans of that era written on it. In front of it is the portrait of the great man, and there is a row of tables below, with microphones and name tags placed on the table tops.
Not long after, Director Yang, Deputy Director Li and others walked out from the backstage and sat down in their respective seats, and the originally noisy auditorium became quiet.
After the people from the Propaganda Department finished their opening remarks, the leaders made speeches one by one. The general idea was to review this year and look forward to next year, implement the spirit of dedication that is not afraid of hardship, fatigue, and sacrifice, do their jobs well, and work hard to build a new China.
Half an hour later, it was Deputy Director Li's turn to speak. He first summarized the achievements of the steel plant this year, talked about the current production situation, and then changed the topic and named He Yuzhu.
