Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

Today is the day the cafeteria is completed and opened!

This news swept through the entire Guangming Village like a tornado.

All the villagers of Guangming Village, young and old, went together to watch the opening of the canteen. There was the Hao family, Granny Hua, and Tie Niu supporting his widowed mother. The last time Guangming Village was so lively was when the sweet potatoes were harvested and bricks were made successfully.

Two months passed in a flash, and the brick kiln finally burned enough bricks to start renovating the house.

Because the plan had been arranged in advance, the first batch of bricks were used to renovate the canteen. The canteen was a simple building, a large one-story bungalow with the middle hall as the dining area. Shi Anan specially built a row of long tables and benches imitating the seats in a modern canteen.

This is also to accommodate more people for meals, after all, it is a canteen, not a restaurant.

A row of half-person-high cabinets was built at the back, used as serving windows, and behind those was the kitchen.

The other stoves in the kitchen are concentrated in a large kitchen, with a total of ten stoves, which is enough even for hosting banquets.

Of course, there are fewer people in Guangming Village now, and we don’t need so many stoves on a normal basis. Two or three are enough.

A small kitchen was built next to the big kitchen, which was exclusively for Shi Anan.

As expected, her guess was correct. In order to activate the God of Cooking's R&D room, she needed to have her own private physical kitchen. Then, she could bind the R&D room to the physical kitchen and it would be activated.

Therefore, only Shi Anan can enter this small kitchen. Others can only see this building from the outside. If they want to go in, they cannot break through this barrier even if they force their way in.

Seeing that most people had arrived, Shi Anan clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention, and then said, "Today is the opening day of the first canteen in Guangming Village. As a collective building in the village, the main purpose of the canteen is to provide convenience for everyone."

"First of all, all those who have contributed to the construction of the village will receive canteen meal tickets. One meal ticket can be used to buy one meat dish, two vegetable dishes, a bowl of soup and a staple food. If the staple food is not enough, you can order more. The canteen will provide you with enough food. The specific number of meal tickets will be distributed by the village chief after calculating the individual contribution points."

"Secondly, for the elderly over 60 and children under 16 in the village, each person will be subsidized with a meal ticket every day. If they are single elderly people or orphans, they can have three meals a day after registration."

"Finally, since today is the first day the canteen opens, all Guangming Village residents can get a meal ticket to eat in the canteen at noon."

After Shi Anan finished speaking, she lifted the cloth covering the plaque amid the cheers of all the villagers, and the seven big words [Guangming Village No. 1 Canteen] appeared in front of everyone.

Even though these villagers are illiterate, it does not prevent them from knowing what the canteen is used for!

I never thought that one day they would be able to eat government food!

In fact, when An'an built the canteen, in addition to considering it as an opportunity to provide buff food in a legitimate way, he also wanted to help the elderly in the village who were unable to move or the children who had lost their parents.

Of course, her buff food will not be provided every day, as she herself would be too busy to handle it. She will only provide it during the busy farming season, or specifically to a construction team, such as the mining team that is still busy mining and the brick kiln team that is making bricks.

The other common ingredients in the canteen are all produced from the village’s public fields, and the daily menu can be adjusted in time according to the output.

Except for the elderly and children who are supported by the village, the rest of the young and middle-aged people need to work in exchange, so that everyone will not feel that helping the village is just paying but not getting anything in return.

Of course, this form is only determined based on the current situation in Guangming Village. When everyone's lives get better, the canteen will serve more as a welfare guarantee.

The person in charge of the canteen was Ruyi. Initially, she was very nervous when she received such a task, thinking that she was just a maid and how could she be the kitchen manager.

But Shi An'an really had no other suitable candidate available. The kitchen was very profitable, and Shi An'an required that the used ingredients and money consumed be counted every day and reported together in the account book.

The only ones who are good at cooking and literate are Ruyi and Shi Anan. We can't let Shi Anan be the manager.

Ruyi used to serve in Liu's courtyard and was in charge of the small kitchen. Liu loved food, and Shi Anan taught her recipes, so Ruyi's cooking skills were pretty good.

Since it was her first day on the job, Ruyi was afraid that she might not do something right, so she was on high alert in the kitchen.

In addition to Ruyi, the chef, the kitchen also hired three other women, one of whom was responsible for washing vegetables and dishes, and another was responsible for cutting vegetables.

Among them were Li and her daughter-in-law Shu Niang, and the other was Grandma Hua's daughter-in-law Zhao. The three of them were the men in the family who were more capable of doing things, so they had time to help in the canteen.

Of course, the canteen also gave them some money. Although it wasn’t much, it was still an income.

Shi Anan was afraid that Ruyi would be nervous on his first day in office, and since this lunch was provided to the whole village and the quantity would be larger than usual, Shi Anan also helped in the kitchen.

While they were busy preparing for today's lunch, it was also very lively outside the cafeteria.

The thin village chief was surrounded by a group of men again. If it weren't for the village chief's loud and vigorous shouting, one would have thought it was a scene of bullying the weak.

"Wang Erhu!"

"To!"

"You participated in the previous terrace reclamation, so a month's meals are provided. Here is your meal ticket, take it!"

"Zhao Tieniu!"

"exist!"

"You participated in the reclamation of terraced fields, and meals are provided for one month. This is your meal ticket. Oh? You are still digging with the mining team, so the mining team will also issue you meal tickets for the next three meals a day, and also a special dish prepared by Miss Shi herself."

"Okay, Village Chief, I want to ask, can I use this meal ticket to bring my family to eat together?" Tie Niu scratched his head. He wanted to bring his widowed mother to the cafeteria to eat together.

The village chief looked at him in surprise, then remembered the situation of Zhao Tieniu's family and said with understanding: "Of course, the meal ticket is yours after it is given to you. You can give it to anyone you want. The canteen only recognizes meal tickets, one ticket for one meal."

"That's good, that's good." Zhao Tieniu smiled naively and gave the one-month meal ticket he was awarded to his mother. Anyway, the mining team would provide him with meals every day.

"Hey! Village chief, what are the special dishes made by Miss Shi? Why don't we have them?" asked a man in the crowd who had just received a reissued meal ticket.

Others also agreed, wondering why Zhao Tieniu had special dishes.

The village chief said unhappily, "Zhao Tieniu is now in the mining team. Isn't it physically demanding to run so far to mine? Isn't it normal to have some special rewards? Miss Shi's special dishes are only provided during the busy farming season for those who participate in the harvest of cultivated land or join the mining team and brick kiln factory. As for what they were like then, I haven't eaten them, so how would I know!"

"Make way for the next one!" The village chief continued to check and distribute meal tickets. Some smart people had already secretly tried to get close to Zhao Tieniu.

Erhu nudged Tieniu with his elbow and said, "Tieniu, let me make a deal. Let me try some of your special dishes later."

Tie Niu glanced at him lightly and said in a buzzing voice, "Let's see how many there are later. If there are any left, I'll give them to you to try."

"Good brother!" Erhu said happily.

No matter how noisy it was outside, the closer it got to noon, the stronger the smell wafting from the cafeteria's kitchen.

Today's meat dish is braised pork, which has always been a staple dish. The aroma makes the villagers, who usually cannot even taste the smell of meat, drool immediately.

"Dad! Dad! It's meat, and it tastes like meat!" Tiezhu said while jumping while pulling Hao Niumi's hand.

Although the little girl didn't say anything, her saliva had already flowed into her collar.

"I can smell it, stop talking!" Hao Niubi swallowed his saliva. It smelled too good. Can his wife give him more later? He thought to himself.

Time passed quickly as everyone was waiting, and everyone rushed in almost the moment the cafeteria opened.

Then they sat on the stools and looked at each other.

"What are you doing! Use the plates at the door to get the food!" Mrs. Li stood in front of the counter inside and knocked on the table. Could it be that these people sitting there wanted me, an old lady, to deliver the food directly to them?

After hearing what Li said, everyone realized that there was a table at the entrance with a plate and chopsticks on it. The plate was also made strangely, a large piece of wood with a large hole and three small holes dug inside. The villagers picked up the plate with a confused look on their faces and followed the instructions.

Then they lined up obediently when Li knocked on the table.
