Chapter 671 Unfathomable Cooking Skills

This is the first time for Shazhu to eat this kind of chili oil in his life. It is many times better than the ones he usually eats.

It shouldn’t be!

Sha Zhu scratched his head in confusion. He had been in the steel mill for some time and had learned a lot from Chen Jun. He had a rough idea of ​​how high Chen Jun's level was. It was higher than that of a third-level cook, but about the level of a second-level cook.

But every time Sha Zhu thought he had figured out Chen Jun's level, Chen Jun would always refresh his understanding with a certain dish.

For example, the chili oil in front of me is much more delicious than the usual ones, and another example is the plate of green beans we ate last night.

Speaking of that plate of beans, Sha Zhu became even more confused.

Logically speaking, the emerald green and refreshing beans can only show this color when they are stir-fried, but they are so juicy when you eat them, which can only be achieved by slow cooking.

One is stir-frying over high heat, the other is simmering over low heat. These two techniques are unlikely to appear together, but they have combined their characteristics together.

"If this chili oil is sold outside, people will buy it even at three yuan a bottle!" Sha Zhu couldn't say many words of praise and could only define the value of the chili oil based on the current price.

"Of course, I will buy it if you want me to. With this chili oil, you can make a big meal with just some cold dishes at home!" Director Song nodded repeatedly.

But Chen Jun just smiled and said nothing.

Although the chili oil he made this time was delicious, he did not plan to sell it separately. Firstly, it was troublesome to make, and secondly, the canteen already had a bread business, and if he added chili oil, there would not be enough manpower.

Soon, a large bowl of cold kelp was eaten up. Director Song did not take the remaining kelp away, but gave it directly to Chen Jun. In exchange, Director Song took away a large can of chili oil.

......

At the same time, in the labor farm outside the city.

Jia Zhang, who was digging the ground, pounded her old waist hard and tried to straighten her body.

There's no way to survive!

After working for a whole morning, Jia Zhang felt that life was meaningless.

If she had known that forced labor was so hard, she would rather have gone to jail!

Although the punishment in jail is more severe and the time spent in jail is longer, you don’t have to work so hard!

If she was just doing her own part, Jia Zhang felt that she could hold on by gritting her teeth, but she was new and the women in the cell bullied her.

The short-haired woman even threw her own share of the land to herself, and slapped her in the face if she didn't do her job.

Jia Zhang felt that if she let them continue beating like this, she would be in trouble, so she agreed. But after a whole morning of beating, Jia Zhang felt that she might as well be beaten to death!

"These bastards only know how to bully newcomers!" Jia Zhang secretly glanced at the short-haired woman napping under the shade of a tree and spat fiercely.

Just after she finished scolding, Jia Zhang suddenly heard a burst of urgent whistle sounds.

"It's time for dinner, everyone run to the cafeteria and gather!"

"Lunch time is 30 minutes. After lunch, you can rest in the cafeteria for 30 minutes. Gather at the field in one hour!"

Upon hearing the notification that dinner was ready, Jia Zhang dropped her hoe and ran towards the cafeteria.

The conditions in the labor camp were very difficult. The so-called canteen was just a simple warehouse that was previously used to store food and was now converted into a canteen.

The area inside is not large, and there are no tables, chairs or benches for dining. There are only tables made of wood and stones, and there is no place to sit.

But even so, this cafeteria is Jia Zhang's favorite place.

Dinner is finally served! Jia Zhang was overjoyed.

The breakfast at the labor camp was a bowl of porridge, a steamed bun and a salted chili pepper. With Jia Zhang's appetite, even if she ate one more serving, she would not be full.

So Jia Zhang was already hungry at around nine o'clock, and when she heard the sound of dinner being served, she ran faster than anyone else.

However, Jia Zhang, who was tired after running for the whole morning, got a stitch in the side after running only a few steps, and watched others rush into the cafeteria first.

After finally rushing into the cafeteria, Jia Zhang picked up the public lunch box and prepared to get some food, but before she took two steps, she was slapped in the face.

"You slut, have you forgotten all the rules I taught you this morning?"

Looking back, I found it was the skinny woman in the same cell.

This woman is the short-haired woman's number one lackey. Although she doesn't have much strength when hitting people, she has mental problems. When she gets angry, she will bite and scratch. People in the cell generally don't dare to provoke her.

Pushing Jia Zhang aside, the stubby woman made way for him and said, "Sister, you go first!"

"Yeah!" The short-haired woman nodded, glanced at Jia Zhang, and said dissatisfiedly: "You are so slow to do the work. If you can't finish it before the end of the night, I will show you how I will deal with you!"

Because she had never done much work before, Jia Zhang was busy for the whole morning and only completed 60% of the task. The short-haired woman still had a large area of ​​land to dig.

"Yeah!" Jia Zhang's mind was completely on lunch at the moment. She was worried that the people in front of her had eaten all the dishes, so she replied perfunctorily.

The short-haired woman ignored Jia Zhangshi and started to get food along the line.

When it was Jia Zhang's turn, there was still half a serving of food in the dish.

Lunch was still very simple, a plate of fried radish with very little oil, watery soup, and a plate of mung bean soup, which was also very watery.

Each prisoner could get one vegetable, one soup and two steamed buns, which were barely enough to fill their stomachs.

Not bad!

Jia Zhang looked at the food she had ordered and hurriedly stuffed a few mouthfuls of steamed bread.

Although it doesn’t taste good, it’s edible at least, so I don’t have to worry about fainting from hunger while working in the afternoon.

After finding a place with few people, Jia Zhang prepared to start working.

"Sister, this is my steamed bread today."

Suddenly, a woman sitting opposite Jia Zhang handed one of her steamed buns to the short-haired woman.

Seeing this, several women around also did the same as this woman and handed over their steamed bread and fried radishes.

The short-haired woman seemed to have gotten used to it and took the steamed bread and fried radish that were handed to her one by one.

She definitely couldn't finish all of this in one meal, but since she wouldn't be full for dinner, she could save this for a midnight snack.

This situation is very common whether in labor camps or in cells.

If you don’t want to be bullied by people in one cell, or if you don’t want to be bullied by people in other cells when you are working, you have to find big brothers and sisters.

But it’s impossible for big brothers and big sisters to help you for free!

Those who came for reform were not allowed to bring money, so food became the hard currency in the labor camp.

Um? ?

Seeing this scene, Jia Zhang was stunned at first, then as if she had figured something out, she stuffed the steamed bread in her hand into her mouth frantically.

However, the steamed bread was dry and hard, and Jia Zhang choked after just a few bites.
