Starting from 1950

Chapter 83 Xiaoyu helps Wu Xinxue take revenge

The visit of the senior expert was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples at the Limin Flour Factory before quickly returning to its surface calm.

Natalia stayed at the Limin flour mill for the time being, while Captain Victor, the pilot, left in a hurry the next day.

For the first few days, the workers were a bit curious, especially many of the young male workers, who felt hesitant and timid while working under the watchful eye of Natalia, this brown-haired, blue-eyed foreign woman.

Later, it was discovered that these two people, just like ordinary people in our country, had one nose and two eyes, and also needed to eat, drink, and relieve themselves.

In particular, the workers spread the word about Victor's arrogant demeanor that day, and with embellishments, it became increasingly exaggerated.

Some even said that the pilot, Victor, pointed his finger at the factory leader and cursed him.

This led to everyone in the factory being driven by a strong sense of purpose, striving to do their best under the rudimentary conditions, all for the sake of proving themselves.

The furnaces in the drying room burn day and night, and the rising steam permeates the factory area 24 hours a day.

Su Yang wrote down all the instant noodle recipes, including the seasonings, on the panel and handed them over to the factory before returning to his job as a "pest control officer."

Natalia will now lead the technical aspects of the "Defend the Country" project.

She will design a more suitable production process and then report it to the higher-ups. What equipment is needed will then be a matter of coordination between higher-ups and the higher-ups.

At lunchtime that day, Wu Xinxue had to rush to finish her script in the broadcasting room, so she had to ask Su Yang to get her food from the cafeteria and bring it to her.

Su Yang had just come down from the office building with two lunchboxes in his arms when he caught a glimpse of Natalia also pulling a lunchbox out of the office.

The two exchanged a glance and nodded slightly, as if to say hello.

In the entire flour factory, only Su Yang, who was free, and Natalia were able to eat half an hour early.

All other workers, including the factory director Zhou Zheng, were not allowed to go to the canteen before 12 o'clock.

suddenly!

*Smack!*

A dead rat fell from the sky and landed in front of Natalia, nearly hitting her.

Natalia wore a look of disgust and helplessness. "Comrade Su, please keep your bird under control!"

"Gaga!" Little Jade circled twice above her head, making a mocking sound.

Su Yang chuckled inwardly. Although Victor had left after making things difficult for Wu Xinxue, Xiaoyu still held a grudge against Natalia.

These past few days, Xiaoyu has been catching mice and throwing them at Natalia to scare her, to vent her anger on behalf of Wu Xinxue.

"Ahem! Xiaoyu! Why can't you catch the mouse again? Hurry up and take your spoils to the security office!"

Su Yang pretended to be serious and scolded Xiao Yu.

"Coo coo!"

Xiaoyu responded a few times, but instead of landing on Su Yang's shoulder, she obediently flew over, grabbed the dead rat, and flew towards the entrance of the security office.

Xiao Yu is becoming more and more magnificent. Its white feathers gleam with a metallic luster in the winter sun, and its amber eyes are sharp as lightning.

The two worked together, with Su Yang killing rats in the warehouse and workshop, while Xiao Yu was responsible for hunting rats in the factory yard and around the perimeter wall.

However, it seemed to prefer leaving whole rat carcasses in a conspicuous spot near the security office entrance, as if silently announcing its victory. Zhang Zhenguo was both amused and exasperated, and could only arrange for someone to clean them up promptly.

Natalia breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Xiaoyu had finally taken the mouse away.

She glared at Su Yang before quickening her pace toward the cafeteria.

Su Yang didn't mind, chuckled, and slowly distanced himself from her as he followed behind.

In the canteen kitchen, Li Dabenshi was working hard.

However, he wasn't working; instead, he was busy scolding his apprentices.

"Liu Neng! How many times have I told you? You need to stir the vegetables more often when you're cooking, so get moving!"

"Four Oxen! Salt's free, huh? Do you want to choke the whole factory?"

"Xiao Cui! Didn't you see that huge puddle on the ground? Clean it up right now!"

He drank for a while, took a sip of water from his teacup, and was about to call out again when he suddenly noticed Natalia and Su Yang entering one after the other. He quickly put down his teacup and greeted them with a bright smile: "Comrade Natalia, your borscht is just ready, and the bread has been delivered too! Are you eating in the cafeteria today, or should I get you a lunchbox?"

Limin Flour Factory took Natalia's arrival very seriously. Not only did they arrange for her to stay in the best guesthouse in Tiexi District, but they also specially invited a chef who was good at making Big Brother-style dishes to teach Li Dabenshi how to cook. They even sent several fresh loaves of bread to the factory every day.

Natalia frowned, remembering the bloody, mangled rat that Xiaoyu had just thrown in front of her, and instantly lost her appetite. She waved her hand and said, "Put it in my lunchbox."

"Okay!"

Li Dabenshi diligently took the lunchbox, returned to the kitchen, and filled it with borscht from a special small pot. He also wrapped two soft loaves of bread in oil paper.

Natalia reached out and took it, without saying thank you, simply nodding slightly before turning and leaving.

After everyone had gone some distance, Li Dabenshi pouted and complained to Su Yang, "That foreign woman is so cold and doesn't know any manners. I heard she's already twenty-seven or twenty-eight and still not married. I bet she's a real problem with Big Brother!"

Su Yang listened to his rambling, smiled, and didn't respond.

Natalia is clearly a college graduate and fluent in eight languages; a woman like that would be considered an elite in any country.

It's impossible for her to be worried about getting married; she probably has high standards.

However, he wasn't like those women in the family compound; he had no interest in other people's private affairs.

"Old Li, Sister Xinxue is busy with work today, so I'll get her lunch to go!" Su Yang said, tapping the lunchbox in his hand.

"No problem! Follow me!" Li Dabenshi smiled and led Su Yang to the kitchen.

Su Yang followed him inside; this wasn't his first time in the kitchen.

However, the kitchen staff has been re-employed a lot of people recently. With Limin Flour Factory now employing 1100 people, there is one cook for every 100 people. Including Li Dabenshi, the team leader, there are a total of 12 people in the kitchen.

"Xiao Su, there's still half a bowl of borscht and three loaves of bread. Natalia will probably eat two more tonight. Should I give you the extras?" Li Dabenshi said, pointing to the table.

"No way! I don't want other people's leftovers!" Su Yang pouted.

Li Dabenshi was overjoyed to hear this. If Su Yang didn't want it, then he could take the rest back for the children to eat.

Of course, it's impossible to get it for free; it's still necessary to symbolically pay 2000 yuan.

The reason he asked Su Yang if he wanted it first was because Su Yang was his benefactor.

After factory workers were graded, a grading system for cooks was also introduced.

Li Dabenshi, the head chef of Limin Flour Factory, was assigned the rank of Level 6 cook.

Level 6 cooks are the highest they can get in the factory; there's no way to advance further.

However, because he helped Su Yang develop "Defend the Country Noodles" this month, the factory manager said he would give him credit and apply to his superiors for a promotion later.

A level 5 cook's monthly salary, including his wages, cash wages, and his squad leader allowance, amounted to a total of 575,000 yuan!

He also enjoys the perk of eating for free in the cafeteria during his working hours. All things considered, his monthly income has definitely exceeded 600,000!

All of this is thanks to Su Yang, so he has to serve Su Yang well.
