Traveling through 70, reborn officers with various pets

Everyone knows that Ou Zhiqing will be cooking in the cafeteria at noon today, and everyone is looking forward to having new food. After all, everyone is tired of the same old meals and hopes to improve their taste occasionally.

Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, Captain Han Shengli invited Secretary Wu to go to the cafeteria for dinner.

Because today is the first day of autumn harvest, the commune arranged for officials to come down for inspection. So, this morning, team leader Han Shengli did not go to work together. Instead, he accompanied Official Wu to inspect the work in several surrounding villages.

This is also a job with a bad reputation. Although the work is hard, at least I feel happy when I see the harvest.

However, when accompanying the leader on an inspection tour, one must be careful in what one says and does. It is best to try to understand the leader's intentions, otherwise one will end up flattering the wrong person.

The two of them came to the cafeteria, where everything was ready. "Oh ~ Secretary Wu and the team leader are here!" Aunt Wang saw them coming in and quickly greeted them.

Then he took out the bowls and chopsticks for entertaining the guests, served two large bowls of rice with vegetables and meat, four steamed buns, and two bowls of cabbage and egg drop soup, and brought them to the dining table nearby.

"Secretary Wu, team leader, please try some. The vegetable and meat rice and the egg drop soup were made by our educated youth Ou. And these steamed buns were also made according to Ou's instruction. We added some lard when kneading the dough, and they are very soft." Aunt Wang was the most senior helper in the kitchen, so she was the one who came forward to greet everyone.

Captain Han Shengli looked at the appetizing lunch in front of him and quickly called Secretary Wu to eat, "Secretary Wu, let's eat and talk at the same time. Looking at this meal, I feel like my stomach is empty."

"Okay!" Secretary Wu didn't say much. He picked up the bowl and took a big mouthful of the rice and vegetables.

Hey! You know what, this meal is really delicious.

It contains vegetables, minced meat, mixed with the mellow aroma of rhubarb rice, and a little lard. It feels like every grain of rice is wrapped in the flavor of meat. The taste is extremely good. The more you eat, the more you want to eat.

In the end, neither of them spoke any more. They all quickened their hands and ate the rice in the bowl, then took a sip of the egg drop soup. The taste was so good. It was great to be able to have such a satisfying meal in this era of food and clothing shortages!

After finishing the rice in the bowl and drinking half a bowl of egg drop soup, I picked up the steamed bun on the table and ate it. As soon as I took a bite, I was overwhelmed by the rich aroma of lard. I didn’t know how to describe this steamed bun. I could only speed up my chewing to show my recognition of the chef.

The team leader and Secretary Wu each had a large bowl of rice, two steamed buns and a bowl of soup, and were finally full.

At this time, the bell for the end of work rang, and the hard-working villagers and educated youth rushed to the canteen.

It’s not that they are looking forward to the new meal, but they have been working hard all morning and their stomachs are already empty.

The cafeteria was packed with people in an instant. Secretary Wu and the team leader did not immediately praise Ou Zhiqing's cooking skills. Instead, they stood aside quietly and offered to help if anyone needed help.

Seeing the noisy scene, everyone was desperately trying to squeeze forward, which seriously affected efficiency. Ou Ruoxing raised her voice and shouted, "Comrades, please line up properly so that everyone can get their meals quickly. Don't crowd. We have three lines and it will be your turn soon."

Fortunately, everyone was obedient and quickly lined up in three teams, with two or three people in each team helping to get food. Even the team leader, Secretary Wu, the village chief and other cadres came to help get food.

Each person had a big bowl of rice with vegetables and meat, two big steamed buns, and a bowl of cabbage and egg drop soup, all steaming hot and fragrant. Everyone couldn't wait to go home to eat after finishing their meal, so they just found a place to squat and started eating right away.

"Wow! There's meat in this rice! Every bite is covered in minced meat. It's so delicious!"

"Yeah, yeah, the same goes for the egg drop soup. You can taste the egg in every sip. How many eggs did they put in to make it like this?"

"Also, this steamed bun is not dry at all, it has the aroma of lard, so delicious!"

"We are so old, but we have never eaten such delicious food. The educated youth from the city are really good. They have quick minds and their ideas are so surprising."

For a moment, the only sounds in every corner of the cafeteria were the sounds of chewing and praises.

While eating such delicious food, they gained a better understanding of the educated youth and finally realized that not all of them had a hard time living in the countryside.

Some people who had small appetites or who were concerned about their children at home were reluctant to finish all the food. Instead, they saved a lot of it and put it in rice bowls, ready to take it home to eat with their children.

Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, the team leader and Officer Wu quickly cleared their throats and said, "Ahem! How was everyone's lunch today? Was the meal prepared by Mr. Ou good?"

"Oh, Officer Wu, Captain, this food is so delicious!"

"Delicious! I have never eaten such delicious food in my life. It is so delicious that I feel like swallowing my tongue."

Seeing that everyone recognized Ou Zhiqing's cooking skills, the team leader also followed the public opinion and asked, "Everyone, do you want to eat the meals cooked by Ou Zhiqing in the future?"

"Think! Think! Think!"

"Captain, let's ask Ou Zhiqing to come to the cafeteria to cook. The food smells so good that we all feel full of energy!"

Although everyone thought it was a bit exaggerated, it was undeniable that Ou Ruoxing's unique meals were recognized by everyone. Even those who had opinions about her were conquered by the delicious meal.

From then on, Ou Ruoxing helped in the kitchen in the cafeteria throughout the autumn harvest period.

Of course, work points are indispensable, and every kitchen helper is given full work points.
