Cao Anping and Qin Youfeng left the courtyard.

"Why are these city people so unreasonable? I thought they were educated, but I didn't expect them to be so hateful. We in the countryside are still better."

Qin Youfeng was very angry. If this happened in the countryside, a fight would have broken out long ago.

"Anping, I think we should go back to the village and bring more people with us. We can't let the people of Qinjia Village be bullied."

"Brother Youfeng, it's not necessary. I won't be bullied. She's just an old woman." Cao Anping quickly grabbed Qin Youfeng.

"Come on, let's go have lunch. I'll treat you to a good meal." Cao Anping didn't say much about the courtyard house. He didn't take it to heart.

Qin Youfeng thought for a moment and said, "No, you should save some money. I think it will cost a lot to live in your house.

Since you are not worried about the courtyard, I will go back. If you are bullied, remember to come back to Qinjia Village to find us. "

After saying that, he untied the rope of the donkey cart and prepared to leave.

Cao Anping held Qin Youfeng and took the donkey away, saying, "It doesn't matter if you eat this meal, you can also help me save money on a piece of furniture.

Besides, it’s already noon, it will be too late to wait for you to come back.”

"Then just buy two steamed buns." Qin Youfeng still insisted. After all, life in the countryside is very difficult now.

In the end, Qin Youfeng couldn't convince Cao Anping, so he had a meal before leaving.

After seeing Qin Youfeng off, Cao Anping walked towards the steel rolling mill.

We entered the steel rolling mill smoothly, but it is noon time now, and I guess the people in the personnel department have gone to eat.

So Cao Anping just wandered around the factory.

Now it has the momentum of a large factory with tens of thousands of people. The crowds rushing to the cafeteria, coming out of the workshops, merge into a blue-gray river.

"Brother Anping!"

Xu Damao was a little surprised when he saw Cao Anping. "Are you officially coming to work today? I thought you were going to come yesterday."

Xu Damao ran over with two lunch boxes.

"I came to join the company today, and I guess I won't start work until tomorrow."

Cao Anping was also a little surprised to see Xu Damao, as he could meet him in such a large factory with tens of thousands of employees.

"You haven't eaten yet? Come on, I'll take you to experience the cafeteria. It's my treat."

Xu Damao extended the invitation. He was looking for an opportunity to tell Cao Anping about the Siheyuan meeting that day in order to build relations.

"I've already eaten, but let me go to the cafeteria with you."

Cao Anping also wanted to see what the workers eat nowadays.

"Okay, let's go to Canteen 1. The big pot dishes in Canteen 1 are the best, so there are the most people there."

Cao Anping was a little curious and asked, "Why are the dishes in Canteen 1 the best? Could it be that Sha Zhu made them?"

Xu Damao curled his lips in disdain and said, "Who said that? You didn't hear it in the courtyard, did you?

That's because Sha Zhu always boasted about it in the courtyard, and Yi Zhonghai and the others also said so, and over time everyone started to believe it."

Cao Anping wondered, "Why are the dishes in that canteen so delicious?"

Xu Damao explained: "It has nothing to do with Shazhu. How many dishes can he cook in such a big cafeteria?

The first canteen was originally the largest one, and several more canteens were built after the steel rolling mill was expanded.

So the first canteen has the most formal chefs, and many of the chefs in other canteens have not yet graduated, they are just practicing their skills there."

Cao Anping understood that his thinking was limited by the TV dramas he watched in his previous life.

TV dramas require costs, and they may be filmed in a small cafeteria.

But now Cao Anping is in the real world, in a cafeteria with thousands of people dining, and the dishes made by Sha Zhu must only account for a small part.

The two came to a cafeteria where the workers were queuing up in a long line and were very noisy.

Cao Anping was also about to queue up to try it out, but Xu Damao stopped him and said:

"Don't line up here. Silly Zhu usually gets his food at these windows. He'll definitely shake his spoon when he sees me."

The two changed direction to line up. In fact, Cao Anping wanted to see if Sha Zhu really dared to shake the spoon in front of the workers, so he asked curiously:

"He shook the spoon, how could the workers let him go? Food is so precious nowadays."

"Well...he mainly shook the spoon for me." Xu Damao thought that Cao Anping had already joined the factory, so he told the truth.

“It’s okay now that there are a lot of people, but when there are fewer people, he would wait at the window where I go to get food, and then shake the spoon for me.

As for other people, it’s not certain. If I see someone I don’t like, I’ll pick the smallest steamed bread and buns for you, and I won’t dare give you too few vegetables.”

Cao Anping nodded. This silly Zhu wasn't really stupid. He asked curiously:

"Then why didn't you make a scene when he shook the spoon for you?"

Although Xu Damao didn't care about the food, he probably couldn't stand being bullied by Sha Zhu.

Xu Damao shook his head helplessly, "You think I haven't tried it before? But when I reported him for shaking the spoon, he reported me for accepting benefits from my fellow villagers."

"We were both criticized by the factory that time, and Yi Zhonghai even held a meeting about it.

Just say that minor conflicts should not affect each other's work, and neighbors in the yard should be united and friendly. "

Cao Anping was speechless. This Shazhu is quite smart. You said that I was bullying the workers by shaking the spoon, so I said that you went to the countryside to harm the farmers and hurt each other.

At least in the battle of shaking the spoon while serving rice, Sha Zhu won.

Cao Anping and his companion finally got their turn in line. He let Xu Damao sit in front and started observing the dishes in the cafeteria.

The staple food includes steamed bread made of two-grain flour, cornmeal steamed bread, sweet potatoes and potatoes, and steamed bread made of white flour...

Because it was winter, there were fewer vegetables. There were radishes, cabbages, vermicelli, and a combination of the four other vegetables. This shows that supplies were scarce.

However, you can still see some oil in the dish.

All in all, it is indeed hard, but it is much better than living in the countryside.

Xu Damao bought a dish of cabbage stewed with vermicelli and some white flour steamed buns.

Cao Anping saw that there were still very few people buying white flour buns. Many families did not have enough rations, so they had to find ways to exchange their fine grain coupons for coarse grain coupons.

The two found an empty seat and sat down.

Xu Damao handed the chopsticks and steamed buns to Cao Anping and said, "Come and try the food in the factory."

Cao Anping shook his head. "Didn't I say I've eaten before? I just came here out of curiosity."

"I bought extra. It's embarrassing for you to watch me eat so much."

"Okay, let me try it." Cao Anping took the steamed bun and divided it into two halves.

He took the chopsticks again, put some vermicelli and cabbage on a piece of steamed bun, and then covered it with the other half to make a hamburger.

He returned the chopsticks to Xu Damao and started eating the 'vegetarian burger'.

"The way you eat is quite interesting." Xu Damao's eyes lit up.

He also followed Cao Anping's example and started eating.

The people eating around them found their novel way of eating interesting, and several of them even started to learn it.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai, who was sitting not far away, fell into thought.

In fact, Yi Zhonghai saw Xu Damao and Cao Anping as soon as they entered the cafeteria.

He was just about to find Cao Anping to discuss the matter of the ear room.

Now, if he gets involved with Xu Damao, this troublemaker, something bad might happen, so he decided not to talk about it in the factory.

We can only go back to the yard and talk about it first. After all, it seems that Cao Anping has come to work today, and he will definitely go back to live at night.

"Master, the dishes are washed." Jia Dongxu came over and interrupted Yi Zhonghai's thoughts.

"Okay, let's go back to the workshop." Yi Zhonghai stood up, patted his clothes, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Jia Dongxu followed behind happily, carrying four lunch boxes.
