Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Seeing that everyone in the Second Canteen knew that Wang Dong had been promoted to deputy kitchen director, Director Zhou spoke directly: "My mission of sending people away has been completed..."

"I'll hand this over to Deputy Director Wang next."

After saying that, he hurriedly left the kitchen of the second canteen.

Squad Leader Lin's expression was like the changeable weather. When he saw Director Zhou leaving, the smile on his face was instantly replaced by seriousness, and there was even a hint of dissatisfaction.

Seeing Wang Dong's impatient expression, he asked back: "Deputy Director Wang..."

"We still have a lot of work to do in the Second Canteen."

"I don't know if there is anything else you want to tell me..."

"If not, then please don't delay our work here?"

Hearing this, Wang Dong's face changed, and he frowned and asked, "Team Leader Lin, is this your attitude towards your leaders?"

"Deputy Director Wang, you misunderstood..." Squad Leader Lin replied with a frown.

"I'm a straightforward person and I'm not very talkative. If I say something you don't like, I hope you can be magnanimous and not take it to heart."

"But our second canteen is indeed very busy..."

"If the delay continues, I'm worried that no one will be able to finish the work at hand before the end of the shift."

Some people may say that as Wang Dong is Squad Leader Lin’s immediate superior, isn’t he worried that Wang Dong will take away his position as squad leader?
To be honest, he is not afraid.

Although the squad leader is not a cadre in the steel rolling mill, Wang Dong cannot take him down just because he wants to.

Moreover, only chefs above level nine can be the team leader of each canteen. Almost all chefs above level nine in the entire steel rolling mill are team leaders. If he is removed, who will be the team leader of the second canteen? It is impossible to promote a chef at level ten.

This not only failed to convince the other chefs in the steel mill, but also failed to convince the superiors.

This is also a very important reason why Squad Leader Lin dared to confront Wang Dong head-on.

As long as he is still a ninth-level chef in the steel rolling mill and the number of ninth-level chefs in the factory does not increase, his position as team leader will never be moved.

As for increasing the number of level nine chefs in the steel rolling mill, he thought this was simply impossible.

Everyone in the steel mill kitchen keeps a close eye on their cooking skills, for fear that someone else might learn them and take over.

Without a master to teach you, and relying solely on aimless training in the kitchen, you won’t be able to pass the ninth-level chef exam even in ten years.

Little did he know that this was just Squad Leader Lin's wishful thinking.

The old idea of ​​teaching apprentices to starve themselves to death has long been abandoned in the canteen.

As long as they want to learn cooking and improve their cooking skills, Wang Dong will give them opportunities.

Seeing that Squad Leader Lin didn't take him seriously at all, Wang Dong wanted to get angry, but he held back in the end.

As long as he can cooperate with me in promoting wild vegetable steamed bread throughout the factory, I don't mind letting him go.

The steel mill is so big that there are two to three hundred people in the kitchen alone. No matter how capable you are, it is impossible to develop all of them into your confidants.

He suppressed his anger and said, "I do have something to tell you: In order to promote wild vegetable steamed bread throughout the factory as soon as possible and solve the food shortage problem of the steel rolling mill, starting from tomorrow noon, the second canteen must replace at least half of the two-grain steamed bread with wild vegetable steamed bread, divided into two types, and also find ways to encourage workers to eat cheaper wild vegetable steamed bread.

Squad Leader Lin immediately showed an embarrassed expression on his face, and then shook his head and replied: "Deputy Director Wang..."

"It's not that I don't want to promote wild vegetable steamed bread in the second canteen."

"It's just that we have limited staff in the Second Canteen, and we can't spare any extra apprentices or kitchen helpers to make wild vegetable steamed buns." "And we don't know how to make wild vegetable steamed buns..."

"How about we continue making steamed bread with two layers of flour tomorrow? I will send someone to the canteen to learn how to make steamed bread with wild vegetables."

"After we learn how to do it and the Second Canteen has enough staff, how about we start making wild vegetable steamed bread?"

Wang Dong wanted to say: "By the time you learn how to make wild vegetable steamed bread, the day lily will be cold."

"This is too slow...Tomorrow I will pick a kitchen assistant who knows how to make wild vegetable steamed bread from the canteen to come and help you."

"Anyway, all the steamed buns and corn bread sold in the Second Canteen tomorrow at noon must contain half wild vegetable corn bread."

I thought that after I issued the mandatory order, Team Leader Lin would definitely lower his head and take off his shoes. After all, promoting the wild vegetable steamed bread was also a joint decision made by the leaders of the steel mill.

Even if Team Leader Lin had some opinions about him, he did not dare to disobey the decision of the factory leaders.

I didn't expect that I still underestimated Director Yang's determination to deal with me.

They did not stop themselves from promoting wild vegetable steamed bread in the steel rolling mill, but they just tried to slow down their promotion so that the factory leaders would think that they were not doing their job properly and were not capable of serving as deputy director of the kitchen, and took the opportunity to remove their deputy director titles.

After that, squad leader Lin refused again: "Deputy Director Wang, aren't you making things difficult for me?"

"Even if you send a kitchen helper who knows how to make wild vegetable steamed buns, I will still have to arrange for people to learn from him. It's impossible to let one kitchen helper make thousands of wild vegetable steamed buns..."

"I still stick to my previous opinion..."

"The Second Canteen will first send a few kitchen helpers to the First Canteen to learn how to make wild vegetable steamed bread. After they learn how to make it, they can promote it in the Second Canteen."

"It's only a few days late, and it shouldn't affect the promotion plan of wild vegetable steamed bread in the steel mill."

Until this point, no matter how stupid Wang Dong was, he knew that the squad leader Lin in front of him was deliberately making things difficult for him, not wanting him to fully promote the wild vegetable steamed bread within a week.

It was possible that the squad leader in front of him had become Director Yang's man and was helping Director Yang to deal with him.

A pair of eyes immediately became bright, staring at squad leader Lin and asking again: "Are you sure that the second canteen can't sell wild vegetable steamed bread for lunch tomorrow?"

Squad leader Lin thought that Wang Dong could not do anything to him.

Now my backer is Director Yang, and I am the only level nine chef in the entire second canteen. No one is qualified to replace me.

No matter how dissatisfied Wang Dong was with himself, he had to endure it.

He answered confidently: "Deputy Director Wang..."

"The Second Canteen is short-staffed, and no one knows how to make wild vegetable steamed bread. We really won't be able to sell wild vegetable steamed bread tomorrow."

"good very good……"

The kitchen assistants and apprentices behind Team Leader Lin all had different expressions. Some looked as if they were laughing at a joke, some looked worried, and some didn't care. They punched the table in front of them and pointed at one of the kitchen assistants who looked worried and ordered, "Go to the first canteen and tell them what I said. Ask Zhou Nanshan, the leader of the first team, to come to the second canteen immediately. Hurry up."

After hearing Wang Dong's order, Squad Leader Lin almost burst out laughing.

His first subconscious reaction was that Wang Dong had suffered a setback in front of him, and he couldn't think of a way to break the deadlock, so he could only go to the cafeteria to ask for help.

But will it be useful if he just finds someone to come over?

Many kitchen helpers and apprentices had the same idea, and their eyes towards Wang Dong became more and more mocking. (End of this chapter)
