Chapter 624 Put down the steamed bun!
"Hey, okay, okay!"
Liu Haizhong waved his hands impatiently, the sooner the money could be taken back the better, to avoid the Jia family refusing to pay if it was delayed for too long.
"Okay, since the two families have already reached an agreement, let's all go." The third uncle Yan Bugui slowly stood up and asked the people in the yard to disperse.
He felt that he had hosted this conference quite well, without favoring either side and it was fair and just.
Unexpectedly, Liu Haizhong hurriedly shouted: "It's not over yet. The problem of eggs and old hens has been solved, but I haven't talked about my dinner yet!"
"Jia Dongxu asked me to treat him to dinner for two consecutive days. I bought meat and wine, and it cost me several dollars!"
If he only wanted eggs and old hens, wouldn't that mean Jia Dongxu was taking advantage of him for nothing?
"Hey, you Liu Haizhong are the second master in the courtyard, but how come you are as narrow-minded as a needle eye." Jia Zhang stood up impatiently.
If Qin Huairu hadn't pulled her back, she would have stood up and argued with Liu Haizhong.
It seemed that things were about to end, but Liu Haizhong still refused to let them go.
Liu Haizhong volunteered to treat everyone to a meal, and he also ate and drank with them, so why did he ask them to pay?
There is no justice!
"Yes, you are so generous, why don't you take the money!" Liu Haizhong looked at Jia Zhang with disdain, suspecting that it was Jia Zhang's idea that Jia Dongxu asked him to treat them to dinner.
"I bother!"
Jia Zhang spat into her bangs, looking as if she was going to scratch someone.
"Stop, everyone, stop!"
Yan Bugui, who had just been feeling good about himself, looked gloomy.
If Jia Zhang and Liu Haizhong were to fight, wouldn't this mean that the entire academy meeting would be ruined?
"Old Liu, what's the matter with inviting everyone to dinner? Who made the first move?" Yan Bugui asked patiently.
"I arranged the first meal..." Liu Haizhong's momentum weakened a little when he said this.
The purpose of treating everyone to dinner was to urge Jia Dongxu to do things faster, but who would have thought that he was so unreliable.
"Second uncle, you are arranging meals, why do you still ask Jia Dongxu for money?"
"That's right, whoever arranges it should pay for it. My son understands this principle."
"Hey, let's go!"
The onlookers in the yard felt that Liu Haizhong was being unreasonable today. How could you ask for money when you treat people to a meal?
Someone took the lead and stood up, and many onlookers followed. After a while, most of them had left.
Got it!
Liu Haizhong had no words to express his grievances and didn't know how to explain it, so he just slapped his thigh and went home with his three sons.
It was not until after nine o'clock in the evening that Jia Dongxu returned to the courtyard under the cover of darkness.
After entering the house, he first quietly observed the expressions of Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu. After finding that there was nothing unusual about the two, he asked in a casual tone: "Mom, Huairu, no one is making trouble in the yard today, right?"
When Jia Zhang heard this, her mouth turned into a machine gun and she scolded Liu Haizhong.
Seeing that his mother had no intention of blaming him, Jia Dongxu breathed a sigh of relief, washed his face casually and went to bed.
......
The next day, the cafeteria.
Today's cafeteria is as busy as usual, with people moving ingredients, washing and cutting vegetables, kneading dough, and steaming buns.
Chen Jun called the three squad leaders of the cafeteria to hold a small meeting and revised the cafeteria's summer menu.
In the past, the cafeteria basically only served hot dishes regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter.
Now that the weather is hot, Chen Jun plans to replace a daily hot dish with a cold dish, such as garlic mashed eggplant, cold tofu skin, cold cucumber, etc.
These cold dishes are not difficult to make. Even without Chen Jun’s recipes, the chefs in the cafeteria can make them very well.
After the meeting, Sha Zhu trotted back to the kitchen, took over Liu Lan's position, and started kneading the dough with his arms rolled up.
Kneading dough is a job done by the canteen's handymen and apprentices. Sha Zhu is now the canteen's squad leader and only has to cook dishes every day, but this guy feels sorry for his wife and volunteers to work for Liu Lan.
People in the cafeteria wouldn't say much when they saw this. Instead, they would praise Squad Leader He for loving his wife.
Chen Jun watched the people in the kitchen kneading noodles and sweating all over. He couldn't help but squint his eyes.
Nowadays, the canteen not only needs to knead dough for steamed buns and steamed corn bread, but also for making bread in the afternoon. More than a dozen bags of flour are consumed every day.
With this calculation, it seems that it can be improved a little, such as getting a dough mixer?
Although the dough mixer sounds very fancy, its working principle is very simple.
All you need is a motor and a cylindrical barrel made of stainless steel to make a simple dough mixer.
The steel rolling mill has no shortage of electric motors, but Chen Jun is not sure about stainless steel.
However, stainless steel should be available in this era. Even if there are no finished stainless steel barrels, raw materials can be taken to the workshop and molded at will.
If the canteen had a dough mixer, the bread production could be increased by several percent.
When the idea came to his mind, Chen Jun decided to report to Director Yang after get off work to see if the dough mixer could produce dough. If he could make one or two doughs first and they worked well, he could then go into mass production. If they couldn't be sold domestically, he could take them to the international market to earn foreign exchange.
It was almost noon and the employees in the cafeteria were already preparing to eat.
Jia Dongxu, who was assigned to clean the pigsty, also returned to the canteen happily.
Because Sha Zhu kept assigning him work in the pigsty, Jia Dongxu had developed a bond with the pigs in the factory. Every day, the pigs lined up waiting for Jia Dongxu to wipe their bodies and clean the pigsty.
You know what, since Jia Dongxu came to the canteen, not only has the pigpen become clean, but the pigs are also kept very clean.
"Hey, Jia Dongxu, put the bun down, it's not yours." Sha Zhu shouted suddenly.
This morning, Liu Haizhong went to find Sha Zhu and told him to take good care of his white flour buns and make sure they were not eaten by Jia Dongxu.
If he takes a bite, his Liu Haizhong will be useless and he will have to ask Jia Dongxu to buy a new one.
"What do you mean, this isn't mine?"
Jia Dongxu kept holding the steamed bun and looked at Sha Zhu with great dissatisfaction.
It’s bad enough that you have to feed pigs every day, but you also want to deduct my white flour buns?
Do you think that if Li Huaide falls, I, Jia Dongxu, will be bullied!
"Why are you shouting? Your wife pushed the steamed bun against your bangs. If you have any complaints, go find Qin Huairu." Sha Zhu slapped Jia Dongxu's hand aside, then picked up a steamed bun and handed it to Liu Lan.
"What the hell? Why don't I know about this?" Jia Dongxu felt a little confused and didn't quite understand what it meant.
Use steamed buns to pay off debts?
Who came up with this stupid idea?
The white flour buns were given to Liu Haizhong. What will he eat for lunch?
"If you don't know, go home and ask your wife and your mother. It was all discussed at the meeting yesterday!"
