Chapter 491: Going to the Textile Factory? Sha Zhu is excited
It is said that a very influential person was invited to be the judge of this cooking competition.
It’s not that this person has great power, but that his former identity was very extraordinary. When he was young, he lived a life of drinking tea and walking birds, and his ancestors were once wealthy.
Although life nowadays is not as good as before, this person has eaten more good things than ordinary people have eaten salt, and his taste is extremely picky.
After hearing this gossip, Director Yang quietly went to ask someone about it.
He was very worried that this cooking competition was a Diaoyutai selection event. What if Chen Jun was noticed by the higher-ups and transferred away?
After asking around, I found out that some big guys wanted to hold a low-key family dinner. This situation requires keeping a low profile, so this cooking competition has some more hidden benefits than before.
Director Yang was relieved. As long as it wasn't a case of poaching, everything would be fine.
"The preparation is fine, just perform normally when the time comes." Chen Jun replied calmly.
There are so many heroes in the world, he is not 100% sure of getting first place, he can only try his best to get a good ranking.
As for the countdown, Chen Jun never thought about it. After all, he still had some confidence in his cooking skills.
"Hey, you still have to take this competition seriously!"
"Hmm? Is this competition different from the previous ones?" Chen Jun understood the meaning of Director Yang's words and couldn't help but ask.
"According to rumors, there is a chance to meet some big guys, so all the brother factories have signed up to participate."
Director Yang patiently expressed his thoughts, especially pointing out the personality traits of the judge.
Chen Jun remained calm after hearing this. No matter how unusual this competition was, it still depended on strength.
"Okay, I'll do my best!" Chen Jun smiled and clenched his fists, expressing his attitude to Director Yang.
Director Yang smiled happily and asked Chen Jun to sit down.
"By the way, I have another piece of gossip."
besides?
Chen Jun was a little amused and helpless for a moment. You are the director of a steel mill, so why are you always hearing gossip?
What’s the matter? After Yuri and the others left, you are no longer busy?
"What news?" Although Chen Jun complained in his heart, he still continued to ask.
"Li Huaide has not been very honest these days. He has been trying to win over some of the old people in the factory. His purpose is not clear yet, but you guys in the cafeteria should still pay attention."
The canteen has been very popular in recent days. Not only do people in the factory like to go to the canteen, but many people from outside the factory also come there.
Rolling mill bread has established a trend outside.
Director Yang thought that this was a good thing to do, but a big tree attracts the wind, so he had to be careful of someone trying to do something behind the scenes.
"Well, I see."
Chen Jun nodded. In fact, Director Yang didn't need to remind him. He had always been on guard against Li Huaide.
Ever since the last reception incident, Li Huaide has gone against his usual practice and has not gone to the cafeteria to cause trouble again, which is very suspicious.
You have to know that Li Huaide is a narrow-minded person and a vindictive person. He will definitely take revenge.
Unless, he hasn't caught anything yet.
As for Director Song, Li Huaide has been picking on him for no reason in recent days, so much so that Director Song has been coming to the cafeteria to complain to him no matter what.
"But you don't have to worry too much. With me here, he won't be able to cause any big trouble."
After saying that, Director Yang picked up the teacup on the table, blew on the tea leaves, took a sip slowly and continued, "Actually, there is another piece of gossip."
ha? ?
besides?
Chen Jun was thoroughly amused by Director Yang this time. He leaned back in his chair in a more comfortable position and asked, "Director, any other news?"
Director Yang frowned slightly and said with an unnatural expression: "This year's food and supplies are more scarce than in previous years. In order to ensure a stable supply of food, the higher-ups seem to be implementing some kind of planned economy. They may adjust the quantity in the future."
"I'm not sure how to implement it, but if you have money at home, you can store more food in case of emergency."
When Chen Jun heard the news, he sat up straight and seriously.
Are rationed food stamps coming?
If I remember correctly, the official national release will be in early September, which is still a few months away.
Sijiucheng is quite special and may be released earlier than the official one.
After staying in the factory director's office for half an hour, Chen Jun got up and left, thinking about going to Xueru Silk Shop after work to ask about the progress there.
If all goes well, Xueru Silk Shop will be converted into a public-private partnership and continue to operate. If not, it will be packaged and sold to someone else.
Find an opportunity to arrange for Chen Xueru to work in the street office in the future.
Although I don’t earn as much as before, my life is more stable.
After all, once food coupons were implemented, you needed coupons to buy things no matter how much money you had.
......
The cooking competition is divided into two rounds, one preliminary round and one final round.
The venue for the competition was chosen to be the playground of the Third Textile Factory, which has a suitable location and a large enough venue.
"No, we are going to the textile factory for a competition, why are you so excited?" Chen Jun looked at Sha Zhu speechlessly. This guy's mouth was almost grinning to his ears.
"Ah? Is that so?" Sha Zhu rubbed his hands with a silly smile, then looked behind him guiltily.
Fortunately, Liu Lan was not behind me.
"This is not my first time participating in a cooking competition. I was so excited that I didn't fall asleep until midnight yesterday." Sha Zhu explained again, fearing that Chen Jun would misunderstand.
After all, there are a lot of female workers in the textile factory, and when the people in the kitchen brag about it, they always talk about jumping into the textile factory to shine.
"Then you should control yourself a little and don't be so excited." Chen Jun looked at Sha Zhu with a sidelong glance, a smile on his face.
If there is someone who often surfs the Internet here, he will definitely see that this is a classic expression.
funny!
The steel rolling mill was not far from the Third Textile Mill, but Director Yang still arranged for a car to take them there.
What surprised Chen Jun was that Director Yang also went along.
When the car arrived at the Third Textile Factory, it dropped Chen Jun and Sha Zhu off on the playground and drove away.
Today's cooking competition is ostensibly a cooking competition, but it is actually also an opportunity for some factory managers to communicate and chat.
The steel mill is not so busy now, so Director Yang came along to socialize.
After getting off the car, Chen Jun glanced at the situation on the playground and found that more than a dozen people had already arrived.
"Director Chen, our stove is over there."
Sha Zhu had sharp eyes and immediately spotted the stove with the words "Steel Rolling Mill" on it.
Chen Jun nodded and walked towards the stove.
When they arrived, they first checked the condition of the stove. There was no damage and the degree of wear and tear was similar to that of the stove in the steel rolling mill.
"There's still a while before the game, sit down and wait."
As he spoke, Chen Jun took out two stools from behind him and handed one of them to Sha Zhu.
