Chapter 648: Still Not Enough Bread
After getting off work, Chen Jun, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard cursing coming from the central courtyard.
The loud voice is obviously Jia Zhang.
Although this insult did not name anyone, from the words "feeding pigs" and "pigsty" it can be heard that Jia Zhang was angry at Sha Zhu.
But it was obvious that Sha Zhu ignored her. Jia Zhang cursed for half an hour, but felt like she was hitting cotton with her punches, so she went home angrily.
Before, the Jia family thought that working in the canteen was like entering a blessed home, but they couldn’t get a bonus for bread, and the treatment was not even as good as that in the machinist’s workshop!
At the very least, the basic salary for a fitter is high, and you can get a salary increase if you pass an exam.
Even if you have been feeding pigs for ten or eight years, you won't learn any skills, and your salary will only increase by a few yuan from being an apprentice to a regular worker.
But Chen Jun was too lazy to care about such things. He didn't care what Qin Huairu did in the cafeteria. As long as she didn't cause trouble in the cafeteria, Chen Jun was too lazy to care about her.
"Lin Yao, serve the dishes!"
Chen Jun shouted outside, asking Lin Yao to bring out dinner.
......
After more than a week of work, the expanded pigpen has been built, and Director Song personally delivered a dozen piglets, making the steel mill's pig herd much larger.
The vacant land in the factory has been cultivated and is waiting for vines to sprout and climb.
After repeated tests and modifications, the dough mixer was finally ready for use.
Chen Jun never expected this process of locking.
Originally, I just wanted to save manpower and increase the output of bread, but it turned out to be a headache for everyone.
From then on, Chen Jun had made up his mind to be a canteen director, managing the canteen and doing the reception work, and never do anything else.
"Damn, the dough mixer is really magical. It can mix so much dough at a time, and the result is pretty good!" Sha Zhu came in front of the dough mixer, looking extremely curious.
With this thing, he doesn't have to go through the trouble of kneading the dough, and his old waist can also rest.
The others also looked at the dough mixer curiously and expressed their feelings.
After a week of observation, the dough mixer successfully gained a foothold in the cafeteria with its excellent stability.
The other two canteens came to Chen Jun to apply, they also wanted a dough mixer.
Chen Jun naturally approved this application with a wave of his hand. Even if Master Liu and Master Li did not mention it, he would have arranged it for Canteen No. 2 and Canteen No. 3.
When Director Yang saw that the dough mixer was already capable of being used in production, he found a group of reporters from somewhere and gave them a good report in the canteen of the steel rolling mill, describing in detail the birth process of the dough mixer.
In this era, being able to break away from the influence of foreign technology and independently innovate and develop new things is something very worth promoting.
Therefore, newspapers and radio stations in the old city promoted the steel mill's dough mixer.
It is said that the photo of Chen Jun and the dough mixer was published in the newspaper.
The steel mill broadcast this news for several days in a row. Both the workers of the steel mill and some employees of other factories began to visit the kitchen in an organized manner.
For a time, the steel mill canteen became unprecedentedly lively, and the bread production, which had doubled, was also in short supply.
The canteens of machinery factories, steel mills, textile factories, glass factories and other factories have expressed their desire to purchase the dough mixer from the steel rolling mill.
With this thing, making steamed buns and corn bread will save a lot of manpower and time.
Director Yang was so happy about this that he couldn't stop smiling. Because of a dough mixer, the steel rolling mill gained reputation again. Even a group of leaders visited the steel rolling mill in person and gave it high praise.
Of course, this is not just verbal praise, but also substantial rewards.
Chen Jun alone received a certificate and a cash reward of 200 yuan.
The only trouble is that there are too many people coming to the cafeteria recently, and Chen Jun is forced to open the restaurant every day to introduce the noodle mixer to visitors. He can even recite all the words he said by heart.
"Hey, you got the certificate and the bonus, why are you still frowning?"
That day, Director Yang saw that Chen Jun was not in good condition and couldn't help but ask.
"Director, why don't we change the name of the cafeteria to the zoo? There are at least two groups of tourists coming here every day, which seriously affects my normal work."
Director Yang couldn't help but grin when he heard this.
This kid usually has more free time than anyone else, so how could it affect his work?
Recently, quite a few people have stayed in the steel mill to eat lunch, which has increased the workload of the canteen a lot.
But this is a good thing for the factory.
Not only can I make money from the dough mixer, I can also make some money in the canteen, and the bread from the steel mill is selling even better.
The machine that can automatically knead dough is very attractive in itself, not to mention the bread it makes. There are not enough to sell every day!
This wave of operations can be said to kill four birds with one stone. Director Yang himself admires this publicity.
"Okay, okay. I know you've been working hard recently. Here is 80 yuan as a special reward from the factory, and some living coupons." As he said that, Director Yang took out a stack of Mao Zedong notes and a stack of living coupons from his pocket.
"In addition, the factory will give you half a day off so you can rest. Are you satisfied now?"
Ok?
Chen Jun looked at the eighty yuan and a stack of living tickets with some surprise. He didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise.
Including the value of those living tickets, I received a total of more than 300 yuan in rewards this time!
Not bad, not bad, this time I have a reason to buy something.
Putting the money and tickets into his pocket, Chen Jun smiled and said, "Satisfied, of course satisfied, then I'll go home straight away?"
"Go off work. The factory won't have any reception today!" Director Yang patted Chen Jun on the shoulder.
Got it!
Since Director Yang has given me the leave personally, I might as well take it.
It just so happened that Chen Jun recently wanted to add some things to the new house in the backyard, but he hadn't found the time.
Speaking of this room, he has bought it for quite some time. Except for hiring someone to clean it up when he first got it, he hasn't taken care of it since then.
Chen Xueru has been coming to the courtyard more and more frequently recently, and she lacks alone time every time, so Chen Jun wants to add some basic furniture, such as a bed, tables, chairs and benches.
There's no need to rush to get cabinets and the like, just get them ready before the wedding.
So Chen Jun, who got off work early, rode his bicycle for more than an hour, selected a few pieces of furniture he liked, and then found two carts in the market to pull them back to the courtyard.
The sudden addition of furniture actually surprised everyone in the courtyard.
"Hey, Chen Jun is going to split up the family business? Why did he buy two truckloads of stuff?"
"They are all large finished products. How much will they cost?"
Nowadays, beds are considered valuable items, and some families may wait decades to buy a new bed.
This time, Chen Jun not only bought a bed, but also brought a set of tables, chairs, benches and a tea table.
