With the tangerine peel candy given by Yun Mo, Guo Xuezhen's journey was finally much easier.
Including Guo Xuezhen, there are a total of 81 employees and 7 dormitories. Each dormitory has 12 beds, which is just enough.
After registering and allocating dormitory rooms and beds, after everyone put away their luggage and made beds, Yun Mo asked Chen Bin to call a few more reliable male employees to take the completed signs to the factory to nail them up. She, Ling Chuan and Huang Zhiqiu
, riding in a van to buy rice, flour, grains, oils and vegetables.
The troops and horses have not moved, but the food and grass go first.
With more than 80 mouths, they need to eat three meals a day. The cost of buying ready-made food is too high, so a canteen must be set up first.
By the time we got back all the supplies needed for the canteen, it was already evening.
Since there were no cooks arranged, they had to cook the first meal by themselves.
Yun Mo and Huang Zhiqiu helped select, wash, and cut vegetables, while Lingchuan and Chen Bin were responsible for steaming rice, cutting meat, and stir-frying.
Time is tight, the task is heavy, and there is no time to boil hot water, so I can only wash it with cold water.
The tap water in this season was bone-chillingly cold. Yun Mo's hands were as cold as carrots, and her fingers hurt as if they had been chopped off.
When you have time, be sure to buy a few pairs of labor protection waterproof gloves and keep them in your space for backup.
After washing, Yun Mo put her hands to her mouth and breathed to keep warm, while silently chanting.
"Momo, let me wash the vegetables, and you can steam the rice."
Lingchuan came to her at some point and squatted in front of the basin to wash the white radish soaked in the basin.
Yun Mo turned her head and looked in the direction of the rice pot.
A super large wooden barrel has been set up on the large iron pot with a diameter of 1.5 meters. White mist is rising along the edge of the pot, and the entire kitchen is filled with smoke.
Unlike burning firewood in the countryside, where you need to add firewood from time to time to keep the fire going, the city burns coal cakes. As long as the coal cakes are set up, the fire can last for an hour or two.
The man said he was asking her to steam rice, but in reality he was asking her to rest and warm herself up by the fire.
Yun Mo went to stand in front of the rice pot for a few minutes. After her hands and body were warm, she walked to the cutting board and prepared to replace Huang Zhiqiu.
"Mom, let me cut it, and you can go and bake your hands in front of the rice cooker."
"It's okay, I'm not cold. Don't touch the knife, or you may cut your hand. Momo, if you have nothing to do, just read a book. School is about to start, don't let your studies fall behind."
Yun Mo smiled and said, "It won't take more than a while. I will concentrate on reviewing when I return to Jiang City."
Seeing that she had her own opinion, Huang Zhiqiu said nothing more and asked when she and Lingchuan planned to return to Jiang City.
The mother and daughter were talking when Guo Xueyao suddenly came.
"Aunt, Momo, let me help you."
Huang Zhiqiu smiled at the other party, "No, the cutting is almost finished. Let Momo take you around the factory."
The position of clerk is quite important. It is equivalent to Huang Zhiqiu's assistant and also serves as the office director. Yun Mo helped Guo Xueyao get familiar with the factory environment and gave him simple pre-job training.
Fragrant white rice, sauerkraut, pork and radish stew, cabbage and tofu, plus a big pot of egg drop soup.
In this era when whole grains were still commonly used as staple food in rural areas, such a meal was considered quite rich.
A large wooden barrel full of 50 kilograms of rice was eaten, and no one was left. On average, each person had half a kilogram of rice. Plus two pots of vegetables and a pot of soup, everyone had a round belly.
This meal can be regarded as a reassurance for everyone.
If you work in a bamboo weaving factory, you will not only have food to eat, but you can also make money.
After eating and drinking, Yunmo called people into the workshop for a meeting.
The content of the meeting is mainly to explain the dormitory management system, and the time for tomorrow's physical examination, as well as precautions.
In this era, medical conditions were limited, and physical examination items were relatively simple, mainly including cardiopulmonary auscultation, liver and kidney function, and routine blood tests.
A physical examination requires an empty stomach. You cannot drink or eat before going to bed until the physical examination tomorrow.
In order to urge each employee to do so, each dormitory Yunmo also temporarily assigned a dormitory director to supervise.
"I would like to remind everyone once again that the physical examination is not free, but the cost of this time is borne by the factory for everyone. I hope everyone can cherish this opportunity. If the results of the physical examination report are affected because you can't keep your mouth shut, you will suffer the consequences yourself.
bear."
After the meeting, the employees in dormitory No. 1 stayed to clean the canteen, while the people in other dormitories went back to rest.
Cleaning is done in turn among the seven dormitories, so no one has any complaints or dissatisfaction with this arrangement.
After a tiring day, Yun Mo returned to the dormitory, took off her shoes, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Lingchuan went to the boiler room on the first floor to get hot water, but even after shouting twice, his wife didn't wake up, so he had to silently wring out the hot towel and help his wife clean her hands and face carefully.
In fact, Yun Mo had already woken up when Lingchuan came back from fetching water, but she was too lazy to move and let him take care of her.
After some busy work, Lingchuan went to the bed opposite and lay down.
Yun Mo, who heard Yun Yao, opened her eyes and turned to look over.
The room she and Lingchuan lived in was the same as other dormitories, with single bunk beds.
Probably because he was afraid of crowding her, Lingchuan made two beds.
When Lingchuan made the bed in the afternoon, she didn't say anything. They were just staying for a few days temporarily. When they returned to Jiang City, these two beds could be left for Huang Kailin and Huang Yu to sleep on.
I have to say that the tacit understanding between the two has increased a lot these days.
With a look from Yun Mo, Lingchuan understood and lay down with the pillow in his arms. His long arms passed under her neck and pulled her into his arms.
"daughter in law."
"Um."
"Good night."
Yun Mo closed her eyes and paused before speaking, "Lingchuan, don't say good night to any other woman in the future."
"good."
"Don't you ask me why?"
"Everything my wife said is right."
Yun Mo couldn't help but curl her lower lip, "Because good night has another meaning."
"What does it mean?"
"The pinyin of good night is wan an, which is the pinyin abbreviation of 'I love you, love you'. Therefore, you can only say good night to the woman you love. Do you understand?"
After not waiting for the man's reaction for a long time, Yun Mo opened her eyes and raised her head to look at the man's face, "What are you asking? Why are you in such a daze?"
Lingchuan lowered his eyes, her delicate and beautiful face reflected in his dark eyes.
The two people's faces were very close, each other's breaths were warm and intertwined, and the air became ambiguous.
Lingchuan's lip shape is actually very beautiful, with clear outlines and light red lip color, which gives a soft gloss that makes people want to kiss her.
Just when Yun Mo was about to make a move, she saw the man open his mouth, "Daughter-in-law, I'm wondering when was the first time you said good night to me."
Yun Mo closed her eyes, silently adjusting her breathing and mood, "I don't remember."
"It's okay, I've already remembered it."
Yunmo didn't answer.
Lingchuan continued: "That day, you were wronged at school. I was very worried about you, so I made you the sweet and sour fish you like."
Yun Mo had long forgotten these things, but now that they were mentioned by a man, memories flooded into her heart like a tide.
