Chapter 735: You are so skinny
When the swelling snow fell from the sky, the loudspeakers installed on the canal construction site heard the sound of broadcasting in due course:
"Everyone, due to the snowfall, work has ended early today...Please go to the canteen on the construction site and wait for dinner..."
"In addition, according to the Meteorological Observatory's notice, from tonight until the day after tomorrow, there will be light to moderate snow...During the snowfall, in order to avoid accidents, the construction time will be shortened from 10 hours a day to 8 hours..."
After hearing the news on the radio, there was a burst of enthusiastic cheers on the construction site.
There is less time to work, but a lot of wages. Who wouldn't like it?
The "Red Helmets" in charge of management shouted loudly.
The migrant workers began to clean up the construction site, placing various excavation tools and wooden transport vehicles in designated locations.
Then they assembled in teams and counted the number of people. After confirming that there were no missing personnel, they went to the camp in batches, and a long dragon appeared in the middle of nowhere.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the canal project and to facilitate management, all migrant workers eat and live in camps, start and stop work in a unified manner, and have one day off every 10 days.
Of course, if anyone doesn't want to take a break, the engineering headquarters will count the extra money.
Because of this, in order to make more money, at least half of the migrant workers would rather give up vacation.
This hard-working spirit is quite similar to the urge of migrant workers to make money during the reform and opening-up period of the Earth China.
In addition, migrant workers are also happy to live in the camp.
Because the camp is stricter and more crowded, all other conditions are better than their own.
There is no money for three meals a day. Every meal has meat. In winter, the heating is constant and it will never be frozen. Where can I find such a good thing?
If it were not for the prohibition of bringing family members at the construction site, the vast majority of migrant workers would definitely bring the whole family together to enjoy the blessing.
Yes, it is to enjoy happiness.
Suvi, a short teenager, deeply agrees with this.
After staying in the camp for a long time, he finally understood why every time his mother went home, she seemed to get a little fatter than when she met last time.
...
"Boom!"
A huge wooden barrel with a diameter of more than 2 meters was put down heavily.
A chubby hand reached out and picked up the round cover on the barrel.
"call!"
A large amount of heat suddenly rose, and the strong aroma of beans and rice spread quickly.
The line in front of the meal window suddenly became commotion, and the sounds of swallowing saliva one after another, many migrant workers squeezed forward intentionally or unintentionally, as if it would be their turn to make rice earlier by doing so.
"Dang! Dang!"
The chubby chef struck **** the wooden table placed in front of the barrel, and shouted:
"You bastards, can you be more civilized? Have you forgotten the rules in the cafeteria?"
He swept around the team with a pair of round eyes, staring at each migrant worker fiercely.
"I'm telling you,'Dr. Bimeng' pulls two large carts full of beans, rice and rice every day. The food in the camp is piled up like a mountain... As long as you don't deliberately waste food, you can eat as much as you want. It is necessary. Squeeze?"
"If I see anyone who dares to squeeze, I must report to the masters..."
After repeated scolding, the commotion finally subsided.
Su Wei kept looking around and was extremely curious about everything in the cafeteria.
The management staff of the engineering headquarters, for the sake of the speaker, made an exception to let the two teenagers stay in the camp temporarily, and then follow their parents home on the next public holiday.
The headquarters even sent two employees to send a large amount of materials including fuel blocks, dried salted fish, soybeans, rice and rice to the two young people’s homes to ensure that the young and old stayed at home can spend a comfortable winter. .
Officials do not mind showing a little more kindness to those who can get a little bit of a relationship with the Speaker.
"Hey, kid, don't look blindly!" A man with a windy face in the back patted his shoulder, "Take your bowl, hurry up and follow..."
"Oh!" Su Wei grasped the wooden bowl in his hand, no, the wooden basin, quickly followed the migrant workers in the front line.
The management staff of the camp deeply understand the fact that "every migrant worker is a starving ghost and reincarnated". The tableware distributed has only one characteristic-big.
The wooden basin in Suvi's hands is so big that it can be used to wash feet.
The fat chef’s movements are very agile. Whenever the migrant workers handed over a wooden basin, he waved a giant iron spoon that was as big as a wooden bowl, and "kang" twice to put two tablespoons of fragrant bean and rice into the wooden basin. , And then take the trouble to add one more sentence:
"Come back and fight after eating, and you will be fined if you don't finish eating!"
In fact, it is almost non-existent that there is no end to eating. The stomachs of these migrant workers seem to be filled with a black hole, which will never be filled.
For them, the period of "fixing the planet" on the construction site can definitely be regarded as the first time in their lives that they can "open their belly and eat and drink".
This is the point that migrant workers are most satisfied with.
none of them.
The reason why many people work hard every day for fear of being driven away due to laziness is precisely because of this "eat as much as you want" welfare.
In the past, these bitter guys, after paying the tenant rent stipulated by the noble lords, the remaining food was barely enough to make ends meet. When cooking every day, they would like to count the rice grains one by one for fear that the food would be consumed too quickly.
But for someone with deep pockets, there is too much grain in the warehouse, and it has even reached the point where he has to consider feeding livestock with grain.
What does it matter if migrant workers are allowed to eat freely?
Master doesn't care!
When it was Suvi's turn to cook, the fat chef stared at him several times, and suddenly asked:
"Boy, are you the kid brought by the great King?"
Su Wei was taken aback and nodded blankly.
"Hey! Hey! Hey!"
The fat chef danced the iron spoon like a windmill, and filled Suvi's rice bowl with 3 scoops of rice, and every scoop was piled up.
"Oh, poor little fellow, you are so skinny...I think you should eat more and grow stronger so that you can serve His Majesty the King in the future!"
After saying this, the fat chef turned his head to look at the chef in the other window and exclaimed in excitement:
"Hey, guys, the kid brought by His Majesty the King, have dinner in our No. 3 canteen tonight... When he goes to your side to make food, you must give him a bit more meat... Well, remember the best The meat for this little guy..."
"no problem!"
"understood!"
The other chefs patted their chests to make sure.
This movement immediately drew a lot of envy.
Yes, there are enough rice tubes in the cafeteria, as long as you can eat, no one will stop you, but fish, shellfish and other meats have a certain quota limit.
Although the meat is not too small, who doesn't want to eat a few more pieces of meat?
Su Wei flushed.
He looked at the rice piled up in the rice bowl dumbly, and immediately confirmed that even if the two of them add up, he can't eat so much.
This terrible fact made him feel for the first time that eating is such a difficult thing.
In addition, the fat chef's repeated emphasis on "finishing money for not eating" also made him feel heavy pressure.
Su Wei raised the heavy rice bowl with both hands and said weakly:
"Mr. Chef, I... I really can't eat so much, and I don't have money to pay a fine..."
The fat chef waved his hand, his fat face smiled like a chrysanthemum:
"Little guy, eat slowly if you can't finish it... Besides, you are not a worker on a construction site, no one will fine you money..."
He knocked on the wooden table again and urged:
"Hurry up and cook, the people behind are still waiting!"
Su Wei had no choice but to walk to the next window with a little face.
