Chapter 220: Test ride on Shazhu Chongzhang Canteen
Chapter 220: Trial Ride Shazhu Back to the Canteen
The next day, the first day of work at the new year.
Everyone got up early. After all, being late on the first day of the new year was not a good thing.
Li Kailang also arrived at the transport team early. At this time, a group of drivers came to work one after another.
After a while, Master Zhang Jinwu also came to the transport team.
"Clap!"
"Everyone, come here!"
Upon hearing this, everyone came to Zhang Jinwu.
"Today is the first day of work in the new year. Although time has passed, I am still here to wish everyone a happy new year!"
As he spoke, Zhang Jinwu bowed to everyone.
"In the new year, I hope everyone will continue to work hard and do their best."
"It will be the Chinese New Year in one month, so we must work harder!"
Zhang Jinwu briefly explained the content and then got to the point.
"As usual, we still have a lot of tasks to do at the beginning of the month. Let's start assigning tasks now."
"Master Zhao, please go to the train station."
"Master Li, go to the grain station."
"Li Kailang, please work harder and go out of the province to transport a batch of supplies to Tianjin."
"Yes!" Li Kailang responded loudly.
Ever since Li Kailang passed the internship exam and obtained his internship driver's license, Zhang Jinwu gradually entrusted him with important tasks and gave him the task of going out of the province.
In the past two months, Li Kailang has traveled out of the province no less than 2 times, but the distances he traveled were relatively short.
The mission to Tianjin was also quite easy. Li Kailang had been there twice, and it took two days to go back and forth, which happened to be two days of work this week.
"Once you get the task list, go to the warehouse to transport supplies to the Jincheng Machinery Factory. Set off early." Zhang Jinwu instructed.
Hearing this, Li Kailang nodded.
After a while, Zhang Jinwu read out the tasks of each master, and everyone left with their task lists.
As usual, before driving, Li Kailang checked the car again to make sure there were no problems.
At this time, Zhang Fen came to Li Kailang with an envious look on his face.
"Xiao Li, you have a relaxing day today. You can go out of the province to have fun again."
"Unlike me, I'm still doing boring things. When can I go out of the province to have fun like you?"
Zhang Fen has never driven out of the province and has been stuck in the city, unlike Li Kailang who had left the province several times.
"You're almost there. Once you pass the internship exam this month, you'll be able to leave the province and go out for a walk."
Before he knew it, it had been almost half a year since Zhang Fen passed the driving test. The next internship test would be either at the end of January or before the Chinese New Year in February.
In another three months, Li Kailang will be able to obtain a formal driver's license, which means he has completed his apprenticeship.
"Okay, stop being envious and hurry up and do your mission. You better be careful this month and don't break the rules."
Li Kailang gave a reminder and got in the car and drove towards the warehouse.
After a while, the carriage was loaded with supplies and Li Kailang headed towards Tianjin.
After leaving the city and driving on the bumpy dirt road, Li Kailang looked at the fields on both sides.
There are thousands of small blast furnaces and coke ovens standing there, and a group of farmers are using tools to dismantle them.
The farmland is sparsely populated, with a severe shortage of crops, and a large amount of crops are rotting in the fields.
In the distance, the lush green mountains and lush forests have now turned bare.
At first glance, a sense of depression can be felt.
Seeing this, Li Kailang just sighed slightly.
"Next, there will be famine, but fortunately we have made preparations in advance."
"I don't know if the food that Wangjia Village saved has been eaten up. Let's take a look when we have time."
Li Kailang didn't think too much about these things. He drove and found a remote place.
After getting off the car, Li Kailang looked around carefully to make sure there was no one there.
"It's a rare trip, what's the fun in driving a truck all the time!"
As soon as the thought came to mind, a motorcycle appeared before my eyes.
"How about trying out this military motorcycle? I'll finally have something easy to use when I go out for fun!"
Li Kailang touched the brand new "Jinggangshan" brand motorcycle and put on the protective gear he had prepared in advance.
After all, the dirt road is bumpy, and if you accidentally hit something on the road, a rollover is not impossible.
After putting on protective gear and putting the truck into the planting space, Li Kailang made a handsome turn and sat astride the motorcycle.
"boom--"
The huge roar of the motorcycle erupted, echoing in the remote wilderness.
"Squeak-"
"Susu-"
In an instant, the birds and animals in the forest were startled and ran away screaming.
"boom--"
Turning the accelerator, the feeling of being pushed back came instantly, and Li Kailang shot out like lightning.
Watching the rapidly changing scenery in front of me, the whistling sound of the wind past my ears and the strong wind hitting my face gave me goose bumps.
"Alas!"
“No wonder so many people like to ride motorcycles!”
Li Kailang drove a motorcycle towards Tianjin.
Motorcycles consume gasoline, and Li Kailang still has several hundred liters of gasoline in his ring, which is enough to drive to Tianjin.
On the other side, the first cafeteria.
Sha Zhu strode to the cafeteria kitchen and looked at everyone who was busy.
"Yeah, that's good. It seems that everyone's skills haven't fallen behind much since I left!"
Sha Zhu acted like a leader, with his hands behind his back, commenting on everyone.
"Shazhu, when did you come back?" a master asked.
"I just came back today, and I won't leave from now on." Sha Zhu replied, leisurely inspecting the kitchen.
When I arrived at my former workbench, I saw an apprentice chopping and preparing vegetables.
The apprentice asked cautiously, "Master He! What's the matter?"
Sha Zhu rolled his eyes and said, "Don't you have any brains? This is my place, this is my stuff, you're using my stuff to cut vegetables, are you worthy?"
"Get out of the way!" Sha Zhu snatched the kitchen knife and pushed the apprentice away.
The apprentice lost his balance and staggered back a few steps, nearly falling.
Sha Zhu ignored him. He stroked the kitchen knife, then looked at the chopping board and the stove. A familiar feeling suddenly came into his mind.
"Sha Zhu, what are you doing?" A master couldn't stand Sha Zhu's behavior.
Sha Zhu responded bluntly: "What am I doing? This is my stuff, why would an apprentice like you touch my stuff?"
Then, Sha Zhu pointed at the apprentice and said, "Fortunately you are not my apprentice, otherwise I would beat you to death!"
"As for you, it's a good thing he is not your apprentice, otherwise he would have to sweep the toilet with you!" At this time, an untimely voice sounded.
Hearing this, Sha Zhu's eyes suddenly widened in anger. He hated to hear these words the most.
"Who? Who said that? Which idiot said that? Stand up!"
"I!"
The voice came from behind, and Sha Zhu turned around suddenly.
"Master Li! Don't say such things!" When Sha Zhu saw Master Li, his arrogance immediately subsided.
"What? Shazhu, is there anything wrong with what I said? Look at you, you've been sweeping toilets for half a year, you should have changed your temper." "Why are you still like this after coming back? You haven't improved at all, you'll suffer when the time comes!"
Master Li acted in a teaching manner and scolded Sha Zhu so much that he didn't dare to say a word.
Everyone looked at Sha Zhu, who was like a dog and didn't say a word, and they were extremely happy.
After a few words of scolding, Master Li wanted to give more lectures, but Sha Zhu simply refused to do it and said rudely:
"That's enough! Master Li, I respect you as my elder, so just say a few words. Don't act like my dad. My dad never scolded me much!"
"If you weren't my father's senior brother, I wouldn't bother listening to your nonsense!"
"You!" Master Li was immediately irritated by Sha Zhu's appearance. He pointed at him and didn't want to say a word.
"Hmph! That's unreasonable!" Master Li waved his sleeves, turned around and left!
As soon as they saw Master Li leave, everyone lowered their heads and continued to prepare the dishes.
"Humph, old man, you're already old, and you still want to teach me a lesson!"
After Master Li was driven away, Sha Zhu continued to wander around.
He walked around in a square pace, turning left and right, with no intention of preparing any food.
Seeing this, everyone was too lazy to say anything more about him, but this seemed to give Sha Zhu an illusion.
"Tsk tsk tsk, your knife skills are not good at all! It's been half a year and you haven't improved at all."
"Tsk tsk, the way you cut the vegetables is so messy. You don't use any brains at all."
"Tsk, you didn't wash the vegetables properly, but only washed the outside. No wonder the vegetables always taste wrong when I cook them!"
Sha Zhu was always finding fault with everyone and was not polite at all.
"Enough, Silly Zhu! If you are free, go and prepare the food. If you are not free, go out and cool off!" Some chefs couldn't stand it anymore.
If Zhao Qiming hadn't greeted them, they wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to Sha Zhu.
"Hey, Old Chen, what's the matter? I'm talking to you!" Sha Zhu walked straight up to Master Chen.
"I haven't seen you for half a year. Your cooking skills haven't improved, but your temper has improved a lot. Try the food you cook. You're more suitable for cooking in a big pot."
"You!" Sha Zhu directly poked at Master Chen's weakness.
Cooks like them who have no master just watch the master cook, and when the master is in a good mood, he will teach them a little bit, and then they will figure it out little by little on their own.
The food he cooked was naturally not as good as that of Shazhu.
"I'm saying these two words to you for your own good. Look at you guys. If I were here, your cooking skills would have improved a bit!"
"I'm doing this with good intentions, for your own good, and you don't even know how much I care about you!"
Sha Zhu looked righteous and seemed to be really caring about everyone.
"I heard that in the first two months of our First Canteen, no one was promoted. Look, I am not one of them."
"If I were here at the beginning, I would have given you a few tricks and you would have easily upgraded, right?"
As he spoke, Sha Zhu made a fist gesture.
Seeing that Sha Zhu said it so truthfully, everyone couldn't help but be moved.
In October, employee assessment was resumed, with workshop workers taking the test first, followed by these logistics workers.
There are several canteens in the steel rolling mill, and except for their first canteen, all other canteens have been upgraded.
Almost every time the employees are assessed, there are masters who teach them skills temporarily.
As the saying goes: Sharpen your sword before battle, even if it's not sharp, it will shine.
If several masters teach you a little, it might be useful during the assessment.
Among the cooks in the First Canteen, there are only a few skilled ones. But except for Master Li, who has a master, the others have learned their trade on their own.
I have taught everything I could, but I didn't teach this assessment. If Shazhu was there, maybe...
Thinking of this, everyone no longer felt disgusted with the pointing of fingers at Sha Zhu.
"Hey, what a bunch of idiots!" Sha Zhu looked at everyone in silence and felt extremely happy.
"The uncle's method is really useful. Just a few tricks can make them obey."
"Just these two or three sentences left them speechless!"
It is no big deal for Sha Zhu to return to the cafeteria, but it is not so easy to regain his previous status.
Yi Zhonghai gave some advice and asked Sha Zhu to deliberately cause trouble to make people angry, which eventually led to the matter of him teaching him a few tricks.
Compared with upgrading, a little grievance is nothing.
Sha Zhu took the opportunity to continue: "If you ask me, this is your own fault. I was just cleaning the toilet."
"I'm going to be a cleaner, but I'm still on your side, thinking that if you ask me for help, I won't refuse!"
After a pause, Sha Zhu seemed to have thought of something and changed the subject:
"But this is not your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame Zhao Qiming. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have left the cafeteria."
"Among you, at least four or five people will be able to level up. Well, if you want to blame someone, blame Zhao Qiming!"
"Zhao Qiming!" everyone said silently in their hearts.
"Yeah, if he hadn't sent Master He away, we would have been able to get promoted and wouldn't be outdone by other canteens!" the apprentice echoed.
"Yes! If Master He was here, I would have almost been able to get promoted. I would not have failed and am still an apprentice now!" The other apprentices also agreed.
Among all the canteen workers, the apprentices were the most emotional, especially those who were almost promoted.
In addition, several level nine cooks also complained.
"Now that I'm back, we should unite and help each other. Don't worry about Zhao Qiming. He is a useless person."
"He's really capable. He can upgrade everyone no matter what. I see, he's not just unhappy with me, Shazhu, he's also unhappy with you guys!"
"I'm deliberately treating you specially. Otherwise, you guys wouldn't have failed to level up in two assessments!"
Sha Zhu followed Yi Zhonghai's words and patiently persuaded everyone.
At the same time, Zhao Qiming came here for inspection.
He originally wanted to come for inspection and to see if Sha Zhu had repented.
As a result, he heard Sha Zhu saying bad things about him again, and his brows immediately frowned.
Zhao Qiming thought to himself, "This idiot Zhu is restless as soon as he comes back. I'll find a time to take him back!"
"A troublemaker who won't stay at peace anywhere!"
Sha Zhu kept talking to himself and Zhao Qiming couldn't stop him.
"Cough cough!"
"Who is it? Which bastard interrupted me when I was talking? Didn't anyone teach you?" Sha Zhu said unhappily.
Everyone looked at Sha Zhu in amazement. They didn't expect that Sha Zhu would be so brave on his first day back and not give Zhao Qiming any face.
"Oh, it's Zhao Qiming! What brings you to the cafeteria?"
Sha Zhu turned around and saw Zhao Qiming, and was not afraid at all.
Zhao Qiming glanced at Sha Zhu and said nothing. In his eyes, Sha Zhu would be transferred sooner or later, so there was no need to get angry with a fool.
"Everyone is here, so I'll have a meeting for everyone to celebrate the New Year."
Zhao Qiming held a brief meeting with everyone and left after that.
After Zhao Qiming left, Sha Zhu immediately said, "See? As long as we are united, Zhao Qiming will not do anything to us."
Seeing this, everyone nodded involuntarily. Isn’t Zhao Qiming afraid of Sha Zhu?
Even though people said bad things about me, I didn't say anything in response.
"Could there be someone behind Sha Zhu? Otherwise Zhao Qiming wouldn't be afraid to say anything about Sha Zhu!" everyone thought to themselves.
Zhao Qiming didn't expect that just by ignoring Sha Zhu, so many thoughts would arise in everyone's minds.
It also caused him to do a lot of useless work when he was later transferred away from Shazhu.
"Master He, you must be tired from standing. Sit down and have a rest!" When the apprentice saw this, he immediately followed his lead.
Sha Zhu nodded and patted his shoulder.
"Good boy, you have good foresight and you did a good job!"
"Hehe!" The apprentice touched his head embarrassedly.
