He Yuzhu's family background was clean. With his identity as a third-generation farmer, no one dared to do anything to him. At most, he would be locked in the warehouse for one night and released from the workshop the next day.
Originally, Xu Damao wanted to give He Yuzhu a portion of the canteen meal ticket subsidy he had just received, but he gave up on it after thinking about it.
Chief Physician Li was the first to be unhappy when he found out. This was because it was equivalent to openly obeying and secretly going against the leader. Another important reason was that if He Yuzhu took an extra meal ticket from the canteen in addition to the monthly standard meal ticket for the workers, it would be no different from bringing leftovers back to the Siheyuan without spending money. In fact, the dishes would be fresher.
Wouldn't that benefit Qin Huiru?
Since He Yuzhu was making things difficult for him this time, Xu Damao had to use this opportunity to teach Qin Huiru a lesson. He wanted to cut off their family's way of sucking blood from Silly Zhu. At the same time, he wanted He Yuzhu to see Qin Huiru's true nature.
In the afternoon, Xu Damao dialed the branch factory's telephone number and manually contacted the branch factory's canteen. He reported He Yuzhu's name, and the head chef of the branch factory's canteen, Master Qian, immediately agreed. An hour later, he rode a bicycle to the big canteen to report.
Xu Damao also spent some effort to get Director Li's approval to purchase the gourmet powder. He sold the stock of the gourmet powder and made a huge profit. The kitchen was busy preparing dinner. After adding the gourmet powder, Master Yang and Master Qian were shocked by the strong flavor.
"This Baodao brand gourmet powder is unbelievable! White water turned into chicken sauce!"
"Fresh, fragrant! Delicious!"
They did not expect that the taste of the ordinary dishes made by their own hands would be upgraded after adding this new taste essence!
The workers who could feel it the most were lining up enthusiastically. They squeezed into groups of three to five and ate at a table. The delicious taste almost made them swallow their tongues into their stomachs. It was so delicious that they flew up. In the end, they wiped the soup clean with steamed buns.
There was no doubt that the taste of Baodao brand gourmet powder was 160 times more delicious than before, and it had perfectly conquered everyone's taste buds.
He Yuzhu walked calmly without causing any waves, so naturally, no one paid too much attention to him.
What the workers of the rolling mill were most concerned about was the problem of not having enough meal tickets!
Logically speaking, the monthly meal tickets and vegetable tickets issued by the rolling mill could completely fill one's stomach, except for those who had a particularly large appetite. However, with Xu Damao's big move, the supply of meat and eggs in the canteen instantly increased, but there were not enough meat tickets.
After all, ever since the disaster three years ago, the rolling mill had never considered that the canteen could get so much meat.
As a result, there were only a few meat coupons issued every month. There was not much profit in the canteen, so sometimes the meat coupons could only expire at home.
Now, the workers who had enjoyed eating meat had begun to think about using cloth coupons, industrial coupons, or directly using money to buy the rice (meat) coupons in other people's hands.
The workers who had tasted the benefits of the canteen would definitely not sell it. They would not even have enough to eat.
However, those workers who did not know much about the situation would be unlucky and regret it.
For example, Qin Huairu.
She had just been scolded by Ran Qiuye at Red Star Primary School today and was not in a good mood. She had taken half a day off and came over without eating lunch. Who would have thought that this would be the outcome?
However, on her way back, she met a few workmates from the same workshop. When they heard that she was taking leave today, they became strangely enthusiastic. After chatting for a while, they actually offered to pay for her meal ticket for the factory canteen this month?
The price was not low, especially the price of the meat and vegetable bills. They actually paid 50 cents for it. This was comparable to the market price of the non-staple food store of the supply and marketing cooperative, which was only slightly more than 70 cents. How much meat did a meat dish cost?
Qin Huairu was a shrewd person. Naturally, she would not agree so easily. Instead, she beat around the bush and asked for the reason.
A few of the workers stammered out the reason. It turned out that Xu Damao became the canteen director and got a batch of meat, making the canteen atmosphere prosperous. The workers planned to get more meal tickets for their families.
Qin Huairu did not think much of it. In her opinion, Xu Damao was like a newbie who had just taken office. How much meat could he get?
Only the few of you are stupid enough to crave for meat.
"Alright, I still have some tickets at home. I'll exchange them with you!”
Qin Huairu was tempted. It was a rare opportunity to earn a small sum of money. How could meat and vegetables be compared to the taste of bread? Besides, there was still Silly Zhu if he wanted to eat.
Qin Huairu brought her colleagues home. After rummaging through their chests and cabinets, she exchanged all the meat tickets for this month for cash with her colleagues. In an instant, her small treasury had increased by a full three yuan.
Both sides were happy and returned to their senses.
Jia Zhangshi had just entered the house when she saw the three yuan in Qin Huairu's hand. Her eyes immediately narrowed into a line."Awesome mom, did you pick up money?”
Qin Huairu smiled smugly." You don't have to say. This is really no different from picking up money!"”
Jia Zhang-shi's face revealed a fawning smile,"Cough cough…Huai Ru, look, it's almost the end of the month, and the factory's salary is about to be paid. Can you give me these three yuan first and take it as overdraft for next month?”
"Mom, don't tell me you want to buy painkillers again?" Qin Huiru frowned. The doctor said that if you don't control yourself, you'll be no different from smoking before you're liberated.”
Jia Zhang-shi quickly assured him," I'm already very much in control. It's just that the weather is too cold. My legs hurt from time to time. If it wasn't for the end of the month, I would have been too embarrassed to tell you."”
Qin Huairu's superb acting skills quickly fooled her. Little did she know that her mother-in-law had just spent six yuan!
"Then…alright, I'll be getting paid soon anyway.”
Qin Huairu generously gave out her money, but she was still feeling a little proud. There was still quite a bit of the cornmeal and cornmeal that she had gotten before the new year. She was richer than usual. Coupled with Silly Zhu's 'filial piety' every day, it was enough for her family to live a very rich life.
Jia Zhang-shi was greedy for money and quickly put away the three yuan. Then she asked curiously,"How did you get these three yuan?"
Qin Huairu was pleased with herself."I sold all the rice (meat) coupons that the factory gave out this month to my coworkers. They acted as if they had never seen meat before. They rushed to buy it from me and were willing to pay fifty cents for each. Don't you think they're stupid…"
Jia Zhang-shi's face suddenly stiffened, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Qin Huairu observed his expression and quickly felt that something was amiss. She hurriedly stopped talking and asked,""What's wrong?"
Jia Zhang-shi squeezed out an expression that looked like she was about to cry." Qinhuai, you don't know this, but Xu Damao brought over 3,000 catties of pork, beef, mutton, and eggs to your factory this morning. The workers at the steel mill are all rushing to buy them. They don't even have enough meal tickets, so why are you still selling them out…"
Qin Huairu felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her expression stiffened as she cried out in disbelief,""Xu Damao has the ability? Why did you get so much meat?"
