At noon, everyone was talking and laughing and took their lunch boxes to the canteen to eat.
He led his apprentice to the canteen and treated him to a portion of potato and chicken nuggets.
There will be meat and fish in this canteen one or two days a week. After all, the workers in the steel rolling mill do heavy work, and even if they are vegetarians, they will not have enough strength.
Therefore, the canteen will occasionally prepare some eggs, chicken, duck, fish, and pork to add a bit of meatiness to everyone.
It's just that most of the time the meat is mostly cabbage fried with lard residue. Potato and chicken nuggets like this are only served once or twice a month.
Lin Fan would buy some chicken nuggets every time he saw them. It was not easy to get meaty ones.
It's just that there are only a few chicken nuggets in each portion of potato chicken nuggets, and most of them are potatoes.
But even so, it's still meat. The potatoes in the potato chicken nuggets are also stained with the flavor of muscle, which makes it taste much better than frying it alone.
The animals in the pasture have all grown up, including eggs and pork, but they are not easy to take out.
If you eat meat all the time at home, the aroma will spread to the courtyard. Everyone is eating so poorly, but you are the only one who eats meat every day?
The pinkeye syndrome is coming soon. You only have so much quota and salary in a month. Where do you get all this meat?
You can get the meat back without a ticket. Everyone knows about the existence of Pigeon Market and it’s a tacit understanding.
But your salary is only that much, and the things in Pigeon Market are much more expensive than those outside. If you eat meat all the time, how can you get so much salary?
So where does your stuff come from?
Can't tell where it came from?
Of course, we can’t talk about the plug-in of farming and ranching, so there is only one way: speculation.
If you do this, someone will definitely report it.
It would be weird if no one reported it when others were eating Wowotou pickles and you were enjoying spicy food at home.
When the time comes to get caught and the origin of the thing cannot be explained, it will be over.
Lin Fan was also a little worried about this. He could only look at the food but not eat it. It was really uncomfortable.
But there is always a way. At worst, you can just eat outside. The food is there anyway. You can go home when you are full.
With Chen Tao helping to prepare the meal, Lin Fan found a seat and sat down, waiting for Chen Tao to come over with the meal.
After a few minutes, Chen Tao brought the food back.
It's just that Chen Tao didn't eat in the cafeteria, but took something back to the workshop. He couldn't bear to eat such good potato and chicken nuggets, and wanted to take them back to give his parents a taste.
Lin Fan didn't stop him. It was very rare to eat some meat these days, even potatoes with meat flavor. Let him go.
At this time, Lin Fan had just started eating when a man suddenly sat down in front of him.
It's Qin Huairu.
"Hey, Xiaofan eats so well." Qin Huairu said as he put down his lunch box.
Lin Fan glanced at Qin Huairu and wondered why she came to see him. There were so many people in the cafeteria.
"Ah, it happens to be in the cafeteria. I haven't eaten meat for a long time. Isn't this a good reward after being busy for so long? Anyway, the food in the cafeteria is not weird. Silly Zhu's cooking skills are much better than mine." Lin Fan
He smiled and said.
Qin Huairu said: "Yes, who in our steel rolling mill doesn't know that Zhu Zi's cooking skills are the best? Every time we are entertained in the factory, we go to him."
He picked up the cabbage in his lunch box with chopsticks and then said: "Xiao Fan, look, I haven't eaten meat for a long time. How about I trade the cabbage in my lunch box with you? You didn't pick any cabbage anyway."
.”
Lin Fan then understood that Qin Huairu was interested in the chicken nuggets in his lunch box, and said, "I asked Qin Huairu why you came here. It turns out that you are interested in the chicken nuggets in my lunch box."
Qin Huairu was not embarrassed when his thoughts were seen through, and said: "You also know that my sister's family is very difficult, and she won't take advantage of you. How about we change it for you?"
Lin Fan said: "Forget it, I have enough food. There aren't many chicken nuggets in this potato chicken nugget. I'll give you one."
As he spoke, Lin Fan took a piece of chicken nugget from his lunch box and put it into Qin Huairu's lunch box. As for the cabbage, he didn't ask for it either.
Lin Fan didn't want to do something like changing dishes. The two of them had nothing to do with each other. If such an intimate behavior was seen by someone who was interested, it would not sound good if it spread out.
If you give him chicken nuggets, you can say that it is not easy to see Qin Huairu. If you give him chicken nuggets, you can say that he is doing a good deed.
If the dishes were changed, wouldn't it mean that there was something going on between the two of them?
He is not married yet, and Qin Huairu is a widow, so this lie can easily spread.
Others don't care whether there is a relationship between you and Qin Huairu. You have done such an intimate thing. Who would believe it if there is no relationship?
"Thank you, Xiaofan. You're welcome, sister."
Qin Huairu said happily.
She really hadn't eaten meat for a long time. The leftovers brought back by Silly Zhu would be eaten first by her mother-in-law and children.
But how could she eat enough with the food she ordered, so she usually took the steamed buns and dipped them in some soup to eat them.
As for the meat, it was never her share.
Qin Huairu ate a piece of chicken carefully, taking small bites. After finishing a piece of chicken, he seemed to be a little unsatisfied. He kept smashing it in his mouth, savoring the taste of the chicken.
"Hey, Xiaofan, I heard that the factory will cut off wages in advance soon, so that everyone can go back and spend the New Year happily."
Qin Huairu seemed to have thought of something and said.
Lin Fan nodded and said: "I heard that, I will go to collect my salary after lunch."
"With the payment being closed in advance, how will we spend the New Year?"
Qin Huairu sighed, his eyes turning red.
"Isn't it good to pay wages in advance? It allows everyone to have a good New Year by receiving wages in advance. Work will start not long after the New Year. One month's salary is enough." Lin Fan recognized Qin Huai's words.
It's what he said, but he didn't point it out.
Qin Huairu said: "Xiaofan, you don't have to worry. You can directly receive the salary of a fifth-level fitter this month. With your seniority, you can get more than 60 yuan a month. Your sister and I can get 27.5 yuan a month.
After the Chinese New Year, my family will buy some new year’s goods. How can such a small amount of money be enough?”
"Sister Qin, what are you worried about? Silly Zhu is still here. Didn't you introduce a wife to Silly Zhu? This matchmaker must have money, unlike me who is still alone and has to save money to marry a wife.
, isn’t it true that you have to reach level five to dare to eat something good?”
Lin Fan sighed and said: "I bought a bicycle some time ago just to find a partner, but I haven't seen anyone come to introduce me to it now. I don't have anything at home, so I thought I would tidy up the house after I find a partner.
I will be able to speak out when I talk to the person I want to talk to in the future.”
After stuffing the last bite of steamed bun into it, Lin Fan closed the lunch box and said, "Sister Qin, it's getting late now, so I'm going back. There are still things to be done in the workshop. Didn't the director just ask me to take them with me?"
As an apprentice, there are too many things to do, and I am extremely busy. You should go back early, and you will start to receive your salary soon."
After finishing speaking, Lin Fan said nothing more, took the lunch box and left.
He knew what Qin Huairu meant. He probably wanted to borrow some money from himself for the New Year.
After opening this hole, Lin Fan was also worried that Qin Huairu would ask him to borrow money from him in such a shady way.
Leave immediately.
Qin Huairu opened his mouth and looked at Lin Fan's leaving figure, feeling embarrassed to ask further questions.
