small landlord [food]

Before dawn the next day, Shen Yuan was dragged out of the bed in a daze and stuffed into the car. He stared dazedly in the car for a while, and was dragged out of the car again. The wind was quite strong, rushing in from the gap in the clothes, Shen Yuan was jolted, and finally woke up.

The place where they got off was outside the textile factory. Shen Hao was talking to the people in the duty room, and came back after a while.

"The car can't go in, let's go."

The management is quite strict, the sky is still high with stars, and everywhere you look is desolate, except for the textile factory behind the automatic gate with long iron railings in front of you, there are open spaces piled up with stones and beams all around.This place has been included in the scope of development, and the houses have been pulled down. I just don't know when the construction will start, and I don't know what to build here.

Behind him is the expressway, a few miles straight to the east is City X, and to the west is the train station, it takes more than ten minutes by car, cross the expressway, and two streets away is No. [-] Middle School.

It was still early, if it was an hour or two later, there would be many morning exercisers in this area.

After Shen Hao parked the car, Shen Yuan and the others walked in through the narrow passage beside the railing.

The textile factory covers an area of ​​more than [-] acres, and each independent large factory building is two stories high. There are several green belts outside the factory building, and occasionally a few private cars are parked there.

They came at just the right time, a group of people carrying lunch boxes in twos and threes, all walking towards the same place, and the three of them followed silently.

In front of a dilapidated two-story building, there were people coming and going at the wide open iron gate. Before they approached, they could smell the aroma of food.

"There are quite a lot of people." Erhao poked his head, pretending not to care, and looked around at the lunch boxes of the people passing by. Most of the aluminum rice bowls were filled with porridge. They are all steamed buns.

He whispered to Shen Yuan's ear and whispered: "These things are not difficult, our sister-in-law's skills must be fine."

"Go ahead and have a look." Mrs. Shen also heard what he said, and walked towards the cafeteria without saying anything.

The cafeteria occupies an area of ​​[-] square meters at least. There are more than a dozen rows of tables lined up neatly. There are not many people sitting there. There are six transparent windows facing the innermost row of the gate. Now only two windows are occupied, and the workers are very orderly. in line.After buying food at the window on the left, I moved to another window to buy steamed buns and the like. Instead of sitting down to eat, most of them just went out with the lunch box.

The speed of the queue was very fast, Er Hao moved forward to get together, and came back and said that he had swiped his meal card.Aunt Shen originally wanted to buy a sample to try the taste, but she had to give up the idea.

There were many vacant seats, so Shen Yuan and the others chose a seat at random and sat down. After waiting for about half an hour, the flow of people gradually receded. Open the small iron gate and go in.

Facing you are two large pots of cabbage, the outer layer of which has been peeled off, leaving only the white and tender round heads, which should have been washed with water, and look fresh, and there are two rows of large iron shelves on which are hung the washed cabbage. The kelp is drying in the shade, and there is a faint fishy smell. The place is less than ten square meters, and there is only an open space in the middle that only allows one person to pass through. The rest of the ground is covered with fresh potatoes with mud.

Go up a step and enter a long horizontal corridor. The light is very dark now, and the incandescent lamp is still on. There are still pots of vegetables and onions on the ground. The corridor is only two steps wide. The opposite is the kitchen. Someone is moving.

The man who was walking around holding the basket was stunned when he saw Shen Yuan and the others walking in, then put down the basket, and asked with a smile: "Shen Hao?"

Er Hao let out a hey, grinned and stepped forward, reached out his hand familiarly, grabbed the man's hand and shook it up and down, looking like two good brothers, he smiled and said, "Hey, second brother, you are done with your work." ?”

The man looked to be in his 30s, maybe he was young, and the left side of his temple was faintly white. He was taken aback by Shen Hao's familiarity, and then grinned: "I'm done with work, just take these away. Please sit down for a while."

"That's impossible!" Shen Hao tightened the opponent's hand that was about to be withdrawn, and said briskly, "Sister-in-law, please sit down, and the youngest and I will help the second brother clean up."

"No, please sit down, there is not much." The man shyly declined.

Shen Hao took the man's arm and walked towards the door: "Second brother, why are you being polite, let's go, there are more people with more hands, so hurry up, right?"

"...the toilet is over there."

"..."

Going out of the kitchen, turn left and you will see the window of the cafeteria. There is no one outside the glass window, and there are still two or three people inside carrying rice buckets and baskets.Just like what the man said, there are really not many things, plus Shen Hao and Shen Yuan, they can be moved in just two trips.

After moving the waist-high rice buckets for several people to the kitchen, three or two women came over with large plastic buckets. The two of them worked together to help pour out the leftovers inside, and then moved them to the big sink according to the instructions. Here comes the hose.

When Shen Yuan turned his head, someone was already picking out white cloth from baskets and steamers at the other end of the kitchen, probably for cleaning?

Mrs. Shen has been silently watching their movements, her eyes wandering back and forth in the kitchen, and when the man came over, she stood up with a smile.

Erhao was not as thoughtful as Mrs. Shen. After moving the things, he moved over and said with a smile, "Second Brother, please introduce us."

Second brother Chen was wiping his hands with a towel, nodded when he heard this, turned his head and pointed to the people who were busy scrubbing, and introduced: "The ones by the pool are my fourth sister and my wife, and the ones who are connected to the water pipe are my third younger brother and younger sister." , the one next to the steamer is my elder sister-in-law, the one with black short sleeves is my cousin, and the one with short hair is my cousin."

"...You have a lot of family members." Erhao smacked his lips, good guy, the whole family is gathered, this is it.

Perhaps it was because of Erhao's absence, Second Brother Chen also relaxed a lot in speaking, and smiled directly: "It's still not much. Many people who are on duty at home in the morning have gone to sleep, and there will be more people at noon."

The third brother said hello early on, and the second brother Chen also knew that Mrs. Shen was the one who had the right to make the decision. After chatting with Erhao for a few words, he got to the point with Mrs. Shen: "Sister-in-law Shen, to tell you the truth, In fact, this meal in the morning is considered the most leisurely. As you should have seen just now, only two windows are enough, and there is no need for too many people to wait. My family and I can’t stand it anymore. There is noon and midnight at 01:30 One meal, the time for this meal in the morning is also early, and we have to prepare early. The time is too tight, and there is basically no time to sleep. My family is often too tired, so I thought it would be better to let others do it. I The third brother and Shen Hao are also acquaintances, so I can rest assured that I will leave it to your family."

Brother Chen pointed to the kitchen and the outside room, and said frankly: "Look, sister-in-law, the factory is rented to us from the window to the back. You can use the kitchen as you please, and you have to buy the ingredients yourself. The steamer and so on are used up." Just remember to wash the cloths, and the main thing is to be clean, right? The person in our family who is usually in charge of eating in the middle of the night basically sleeps in the room at the west end of the corridor after cleaning up, so it won’t get in the way.”

"There's no need for a steamer or anything else. Time is tight in the morning. Let's bring it over after we make it at home." Aunt Shen laughed.

After saying this, it was basically settled, Second Brother Chen heaved a sigh of relief, grinned and said, "My heart can be regarded as letting go of your response, and finally I don't have to stay up all night anymore. Everyone in the family I don’t want to worry about the morning meal, I’m too tired, sister-in-law, when do you plan to start? I think tomorrow will be fine.”

Mrs. Chen pretended not to understand the hint in the eyes of Second Brother Chen. After thinking about it for a while, she said, "Ingredients and rice buckets and other things, we have to sort them out when we go back. Tomorrow will definitely be too late. The day after tomorrow, we will bring them in the morning." Come with dinner, second brother, you can rest now."

"Hey, just call me second brother, sister-in-law, I'll be waiting for you the day after tomorrow." Second Brother Chen said with a smile.

After several people made such a calculation, Second Brother Chen directly signed the paper, and once Mrs. Shen handed over the money, it was considered a success.After taking the key to the back door from Second Brother Chen, Aunt Shen and the others wandered around the three-point area at the back, led by Second Brother Chen, met the factory leaders, and greeted the guards. When you come again, you can come in directly.

They were busy working back and forth in the factory, but Shen Daqing was worried at home.

"If you're in a hurry, go to the field and don't get in the way here." Mother Shen gave her son an annoyed look as she fried the meatballs.Early in the morning, with a bitter face, he squatted silently at the gate and then came to the kitchen, and asked no one to cook?

Shen Daqing picked the leeks again and again, and said weakly; "The apples in the field are all picked, and the person who should be contacted has also been contacted. The goods will be loaded tomorrow. I have nothing to do today, so I will help you cook."

"Go, go, go!" He didn't speak, but when he made a sound, Shen's mother turned her head and saw that the leeks in the pot were almost turned into bean sprouts, she immediately became angry, and angrily said, "You can still eat it later Can't eat?!"

Shen's mother snatched a pot of leeks from his clutches, looked carefully and sighed: "It's all right now, I can only chop up and make dumplings, you prodigal son!"

Shen Daqing sat on the saddle dejectedly, and said in a muffled voice, "My wife won't take me with her when she goes out."

When he opened his eyes early in the morning, his daughter-in-law was nowhere to be seen. He didn't hear anything when he left. He was full of feelings of being rejected. How could he have the strength to work?As a result, his mother also disliked him...

"Hmph, what's the use of taking you! Go away!" Mother Shen said disdainfully.

"Mom! We're back!"

Just as he was talking, Erhao's loud voice came from outside, Shen's mother just answered, and when she turned her head, Shen Daqing, who hadn't answered just now, disappeared, and couldn't help laughing and cursing: "This idiot!"
