Back To 2008

Chapter 90: The Dirty Behind

At five o'clock in the evening, under the leadership of Chef Fan, the staff at the back of the cafeteria moved a large pot of food to the front desk of the restaurant.

To be honest, this is really a work that requires energy.

A large pot of food is hundreds of kilograms and requires several people to carry it together. Fortunately, Wang Feng has the strength to do so, and it is not too difficult.

It's just that he didn't understand a little bit in his heart. In such a large coal mine, the back kitchen didn't even have a tool to transport food, even if it had a small cart, it didn't have to be so troublesome.

Can’t help but look at Chef Fan in a puzzled way, “Master, let’s be too rudimentary here, why don’t we even have a handy tool?”

"Ah, that's not bad!"

"At any rate, there is still a pot and pans that can cook. According to the urine of the group of people above, I can't wait for us to directly serve the workers with our hands."

"What the hell!"

Chef Fan scolded angrily.

Wang Feng didn't dare to ask any more. It seemed that Chef Fan also had an unspeakable concealment.

At half past five, the restaurant opened on time.

At the moment when the restaurant door opened, an overwhelming group of people rushed in toward the window where the meal was served.

All of them have a face like black charcoal, and their bodies are covered with jet black soot. Only the eyes and teeth are exposed, and they look like individuals.

After a tiring day, they are exhausted physically and mentally. They walked a little bit to hide, but the hunger in their stomachs was impatient and had to come.

The restaurant immediately became lively, and the staff of the back kitchen were all busy serving them with meals, and Wang Feng was naturally among the busy army.

Looking at the workers in front of him, he couldn't help feeling a little pitiful.

"One bowl of gruel, two greens, unlimited steamed buns."

This is their first meal after a busy day in the mine. To them who are physically laboring, it is simply pitiful.

However, as soon as the miners received the food, they were all not afraid of being scalded and gulping, or squatting or standing with a few people gathered together, as if they were delicious in the world.

"Master?" Wang Feng called to Chef Fan.

"Oh, you say?"

Chef Fan knew that the newcomer Wang Feng must be asking something again.

"Doesn't our coal mine have a bathhouse? Why don't they come back again without freshening up?" Wang Feng asked curiously.

"You, a college student who just went out, don't understand anything."

Chef Fan explained patiently: "Who doesn't want to eat cleanly? But they don't have that time."

"I rushed here as soon as I got out of the mine, not to be able to come earlier and have a warm meal. I'm afraid I can't even drink the soup at the end of the day. That would be the worst."

He said with emotion: "It's not easy for people, and absenteeism is even more difficult! So young man, let's study hard. If you have knowledge and culture, it is better to find a way out than doing this."

"Then their salary is high?"

Seeing Chef Fan's interest, Wang Feng then asked.

"Tall fart! It's not all working for the moths above."

"A month of exhaustion is three or four thousand."

Chef Fan couldn't help feeling a little excited when he mentioned the whole group of people above.

"Three or four thousand? So little!"

Judging from the information Wang Feng currently has on hand, the income on the book should be around 8,000. How can it actually be distributed to the workers?

Where did all these false claims go? Whose pockets did they all flow into again?

The more he checked, the more frightened Wang Feng couldn't help but sighed inwardly, "Fortunately, I came to check first. It turns out that the water here is so deep!"

"They are willing to work with such a low wage? I heard that the wages of miners in other places are 7,000 or 8,000, and even tens of thousands."

"What can I do if I don't do it?"

"They are still rushing to do this work? Let me tell you, it doesn't matter in the factory, or acquaintances, he really can't get in."

Chef Fan sighed inwardly.

Seeing that Wang Feng couldn't understand for a while, he explained slowly:

"We are already poor enough if we fly the sand everywhere and the birds don't shit."

"But these miners' homes are all in ravines. They are even poorer and harder than ours here. They don't have culture and skills, so what can they do if they don't dare to do this?"

"Furthermore, the wages here are already higher than where they are, and they don't need to spend a lot of money in a year, even if they are a little bit tired, I would like to come here."

"Oh--"

Wang Feng nodded, he understood.

It is precisely because of this that the above-mentioned Zhou Peppers dare to squeeze them so unscrupulously!

"Hehe, Master! I still have a question."

Wang Feng asked embarrassedly again: "Why didn't we see people from the office come here, don't they eat here?"

"They have their own cafeteria, and they won't be with the workers at all."

"Furthermore, how can the group of delicate embryos endure this kind of bitterness. To put it bluntly, our meal is pig food for them."

Chef Fan took a bit of a cigarette, annoyed in his angry tone.

"His grandma!"

Wang Feng also angrily cursed in his heart, "These dogs don't treat the miners as human beings! I will deal with them the first day Laozi goes up."

At this moment, a middle-aged man in overalls walked towards Chef Fan’s window.

Unlike other miners, his clothes are obviously much cleaner and tidy, and there is not much soot on his body.

There is also a magnificent temperament, which at first glance is a leadership class.

It’s just that what makes Wang Feng curious is that he is carrying a rice jar in his hand. Is it possible that he wants to eat here?

Seeing this middle-aged man, Chef Fan immediately stood up with a smile and respectfully said to the middle-aged man, "Come on, Director Li, wait a moment, I'll give you a meal."

"Um."

The middle-aged man known as the factory manager nodded, then looked at the dish plate in front of him.

Seeing that there were only two vegetarian dishes, one was fried Chinese cabbage with chili and the other was fried mung bean sprouts with chili, I immediately frowned.

Some dissatisfaction said to Chef Fan: "Old Fan, the miners are all sweaty and physical people. You can't give a bit of meat and fish. Why are these bean sprouts and cabbage every day."

"If it doesn't help, you can get some eggs for a try, otherwise, how could they have the strength after a tiring day."

Chef Fan also looked embarrassed, "You know Director Zhou, I can't help it."

"Although I am the manager of this restaurant in name, the money belongs to Zhou Heliang's bastard, and he gave me so much money for food. I also want to improve the food for the workers, but I also have this heart and don't have this ability. what!"

"cough--"

Hearing what Chef Fan said, Director Zhou also shook his head helplessly, and walked to the side silently after taking the food.

"who is this?"

Wang Feng looked at Director Zhou's back and asked curiously.

"Our deputy director Zhou Pengyu who is in charge of production."

When mentioning Zhou Pengyu's name, Chef Fan looked respectful.

"The deputy director who manages thousands of people! Shouldn't he be a big leader? It stands to reason that he should have his own small canteen just like the office staff. How can he eat with the workers."

Wang Feng was puzzled.

"The only good leader in the whole factory."

Chef Fan said regretfully: "Food, drink, housing, and transportation are all with the workers. The leaders in the factory are the only ones who are still facing our workers."

"If it weren't for him to lead a group of backbones on the front line of production, this coal mine, I'm afraid it would be over long ago."

Looking at Zhou Pengyu's back, Wang Feng couldn't help but admire him.

Unexpectedly, in such a filthy environment, there was such a clear stream of him, which really surprised Wang Feng.

At the same time, I couldn't help but sigh, there are good people who don't want to get along with each other!

It seems that this coal mine is not completely unsuccessful, and it is still saved.
