He waited patiently for the next move to come. The morning passed peacefully in the rolling mill. After work, Lin Tianjiao went to the canteen with a lunch box like the other workers.
Even in the canteen of the factory, food tickets had to be exchanged with food tickets and money. The advantage was that the amount of food was much more affordable than cooking at home. Although Lin Tianjiao had the farm space rewarded by the system, he had just transmigrated and did not dare to be unconventional and eat and drink alone. After all, he could not explain the source of the supplies, so he could only eat in the canteen.
According to the memories of the original body, the average adult in the world of Love Courtyard would receive 25 catties of food stamps per month, and children would receive 15 catties. Those who worked in special industries would receive an additional bonus. For a first-grade fitter like Lin Tianjiao, he would receive an additional 3 catties of food stamps. In addition, he would receive a salary of 27.50 yuan. Although it was not comparable to He Yuzhu's 37.50 yuan, it was definitely not a problem for him to support himself.
Putting aside the food stamps, how much did a catty of grain cost in the market? White flour was 30 cents per catty, pork was 80 cents per catty, eggs were 50 cents per catty, cabbage was less than 5 cents per catty, and a movie at the cinema was 50 cents.
With Lin Tianjiao's current salary, he could buy nearly 100 catties of white flour and 30 catties of pork. According to the price standards after the millennium, it was not even the minimum wage for urban residents. However, in the 1960s, where supplies were scarce, Lin Tianjiao's conditions were not bad. It was not a problem for him to support himself.
"Hey, He Yuzhu, what's wrong with you? Is there anyone who takes food like you?"
Suddenly, a voice from the crowd pulled Lin Tianjiao's attention back. It sounded rather familiar. Lin Tianjiao tilted his head to take a look. It was indeed someone he knew.
Xu Damao was standing outside the food delivery window, while He Yuzhu was standing inside. The two of them started arguing.
Xu Damao said angrily,"Silly Zhu, I said I want a serving of potatoes. Is this one?" At most, it's only half a serving."
"Xu Damao, if you don't want to eat, I'll refund your money.”Silly Zhu was not afraid of anything and said arrogantly to Xu Damao.
Xu Damao was even more angry when he saw this. He immediately pulled Silly Zhu and said,"Hey, Silly Zhu, even if I said I was shaking a spoon, I wouldn't be as shaking as you…"
"Xu Damao, go away after you're done with your food. Don't delay the others.”However, Silly Zhu was the boss of the canteen of the Third Rolling Mill in 49 City, and he had been throwing his food around for a long time. How could he be willing to pay attention to Xu Damao? He directly threw his spoon and said to Xu Damao with an expression that said,"What can you do about it?"
Before Xu Damao could finish his sentence, he was pushed to the side by the people who came from behind. Xu Damao looked at the amount of food in the lunch box, then at the spoon in He Yuzhu's hand, and then at the cabbage that the worker had just beaten. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. His eyebrows were almost twisted into a hemp rope.
Silly Zhu was obviously bullying him, but what could Xu Damao do? The canteen was He Yuzhu's territory, and each serving was a spoonful. The amount of food was in the hands of the staff. At this moment, Xu Damao and Lin Tianjiao's eyes met. Their expressions changed slightly, and they swallowed the words they were about to say.
Time passed, and the line continued to move forward. Not long after, it was Lin Tianjiao's turn.
Silly Zhu raised his head and glanced at Lin Tianjiao. Although he was fuming with hatred in his heart, he still replied expressionlessly,"Lin Tianjiao, it's you? What do you want to eat?"
Seeing this, Lin Tianjiao pointed at a dish by the window and said,"Give me a serving of cabbage tofu soup and two steamed buns.”
Silly Zhu ordered Liu Lan to pick up the buns. He then took a spoon and placed it into the bowl, then poured it into Lin Tianjiao's lunchbox.
Yoho!
He looked at the spoonful of soup in Silly Zhu's hand. There were only a few pieces of vegetable leaves floating on it, and the tofu was scattered. This was Silly Zhu's revenge!
Thus, Lin Tianjiao couldn't bear to be wronged. He quickly brought the lunchbox to his eyes and looked at it. He didn't accept the steamed bun that Liu Lan handed over and said,"He Yuzhu, open your eyes and see what this is.”
Lin Tianjiao wasn't like Xu Damao, who didn't know how to react. Instead, he returned the favor and secretly took out a dozen rat poop from the farm space rewarded by the system. He used his work clothes as a cover and silently threw them into his lunch box.
Seeing that no one around him had noticed his actions, Lin Tianjiao pretended to be excited and pushed the lunchbox towards the window of the canteen. He pointed at the black particles floating in the middle of the soup and said angrily,"Silly Zhu, how did your kitchen cook? There's actually rat poop in the dishes. If anything happens to them, Silly Zhu, you'll pay with your life.”
Hua, as soon as Lin Tianjiao finished speaking, the canteen of the Third Rolling Steel Mill was instantly in an uproar. The two workers behind Lin Tianjiao hurriedly leaned forward and took a look inside. That's right, the black substance in the vegetable soup was definitely not sesame seeds, but clearly a few pieces of rat poop.
"Let me see." Liu Lan's expression changed when she saw this. She leaned over and sized him up."It's true, Silly Zhu, this…didn't you notice when you were choosing vegetables?”
Silly Zhu glared at Lin Tianjiao and the staff waiting to get food,"Is there a kitchen that doesn't attract rats? If you want to eat, then scram."
The employees waiting for food in the canteen of the Third Rolling Mill knew that this guy was being naughty again.
Others might be afraid of Silly Zhu acting stupid, but Lin Tianjiao wasn't. He held the lunchbox and continued,"Silly Zhu, as the head chef of our steel mill canteen, there are rat droppings in the dishes made in this canteen, and you're still so excited, right? I'm going to report you to the canteen director."
Silly Zhu loved to mess around, but he could still distinguish the importance of things. He was also afraid that Lin Tianjiao would make a big deal out of it. Yes, Silly Zhu was the boss of the canteen, but didn't he have a canteen director and even a factory manager above him?
"It's just a pot of vegetables. Liu Lan, remove the cabbage and tofu soup.”Thus, Shazhu quickly instructed Liu Lan.
Liu Lan quickly took away the cabbage and tofu soup. Although she didn't get along with Silly Zhu usually, she still had to listen to him at critical moments. After all, she didn't know if the rat poop was because she and Ma Hua didn't notice it when they were choosing vegetables, or if it was Silly Zhu's cooking pot.
"Silly Zhu, are you trying to destroy the evidence? Everyone saw it."
