When the snowflakes were falling from the sky, the loudspeaker installed on the canal construction site heard a timely broadcast:
"everyone, due to the snowfall, the work will be finished ahead of schedule today Please go to the canteen of the construction site and wait for dinner.... "
"In addition, according to the notice of the weather station, from tonight until the day after tomorrow, there will be light to moderate snow During the snowfall period, in order to avoid accidents, the construction time will be shortened from 10 hours per day to 8 hours... "
After hearing the news broadcast on the radio, a burst of warm cheers rang out on the construction site.
Who wouldn''t like to work less time and get a lot of salary?
"Red helmets" in charge of management, yell.
Migrant workers began to clean up the construction site and put all kinds of excavation tools and wooden transport vehicles in the designated positions.
Then they gathered according to the team, counted the number of people, and confirmed that there were no missing people. Then they went to the camp in groups, and a long line suddenly appeared on the vast wilderness.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the canal project, but also for the convenience of management, all migrant workers eat, live in the camp, unified start, unified shutdown, every 10 days have a day off.
Of course, if anyone doesn''t want to have a rest, the engineering headquarters will pay extra money.
Because of this, in order to earn more money, at least more than half of the migrant workers prefer to give up their vacation.
This kind of hard-working spirit is quite similar to that of migrant workers during the reform and opening-up period in China.
In addition, migrant workers are willing to live in the camp.
Because all the conditions in the camp are better than their own except for strict management and crowded living.
Three meals a day are free of charge. There is meat in every meal. In winter, there is no heating. It will never be frozen. Where can I find such a good thing?
If it wasn''t for the prohibition of bringing family members to the construction site, the vast majority of migrant workers would certainly bring the whole family together to enjoy their happiness.
Yes, it''s hedonism.
Suvey, a short boy, agrees.
After half a day in the camp, he finally understood why every time his mother came home, she seemed a little fatter than when she met last time.
……
"Dong!"
A huge wooden barrel with a diameter of more than 2 meters was put down heavily.
A chubby hand reached over and picked up the round cover on the barrel.
"Hoo
A large stream of heat suddenly soared, strong bean rice flavor, quickly spread.
The line in front of the rice window was in an instant of commotion. The sound of swallowing saliva came one after another. Many migrant workers pushed forward intentionally or unintentionally. It seemed that this would make it their turn to cook rice earlier.
"When! When
The Fat Chef knocked hard on the wooden table in front of the barrel and yelled:
"can you be civilized, you bastards? Have you forgotten the rules in the canteen? "
He swept around the team with a pair of round eyes and glared at every migrant worker.
"I tell you, every day, the drudgery bimon brings two carts full of beans, rice and rice, and the grain in the camp is piled up like a mountain As long as you don''t waste food on purpose, you can eat as much as you like. Is it necessary to squeeze it? "
"If I see anyone who dares to squeeze, I will report it to the old man..."
After repeated reprimands, the commotion finally subsided.
SUV kept looking around and was extremely curious about everything in the canteen.
The managers of the project headquarters, for the sake of the speaker, made an exception to let the two teenagers stay in the camp for the time being, and then went home with their parents on the next public holiday.
The headquarters even sent two staff members to send a large number of materials including fuel blocks, dried salted fish, beans, rice and rice to the two young people''s homes, so as to ensure that the old and the small left behind at home can have a comfortable winter.
Officials don''t mind showing more kindness to those who can have a little relationship with the speaker.
"Hey, boy, don''t look around!" A man with a frosty face in the back patted him on the shoulder, "take your bowl and keep up with it..."
"Oh Suwei grasped the wooden bowl in his hand, no, the wooden basin, and quickly followed the migrant workers in front of him.
The managers of the camp deeply understand the fact that "every migrant worker is reincarnated from starvation". The tableware provided has only one feature - big size.
The wooden basin in suvey''s hand is so big that it can be used to wash feet.
The Fat Chef''s action is very sharp. Whenever the migrant workers hand over a wooden basin, he waves a huge iron spoon as big as a wooden bowl, and "bang bang" two times to put two spoons of delicious bean rice into the wooden basin, and then he goes out of his way to add:
"fight again after eating, and you will be fined if you don''t finish eating!"
As a matter of fact, there is almost no such thing as eating too much. These migrant workers seem to have a black hole in their stomachs, and they will never be satisfied.For them, the time of "repairing the planet" on the construction site is definitely the first time in their life when they can "eat and drink freely".
This is the most satisfactory point of migrant workers.
No one.
Many people work hard every day for fear that they will be driven away due to laziness. It is precisely because of the welfare of "eat as much as you want".
In the past, these miserable guys, after paying the tenancy stipulated by the aristocrats, had only enough food to make a living. When they cooked every day, they wanted to count the rice grains one by one for fear that the food would be consumed too quickly.
But for a rich man, there is so much food in the warehouse that he can''t hold it any more. He even has to consider feeding livestock with food.
What does it matter to let migrant workers eat?
Master doesn''t care!
When it was suey''s turn to make dinner, the fat cook looked at him for several times and suddenly asked:
"boy, are you the child brought by the great king?"
Suwei was stunned and nodded.
"Bang! Bang! Bang
The Fat Chef danced the iron spoon like a windmill, and with the momentum of lightning, he stuffed three spoons of rice into Suwei''s bowl, and each spoon was piled up.
"Oh, poor little fellow, you are so thin I think you should eat more and grow stronger so that you can serve your Majesty in the future! "
After that, the Fat Chef turned to look at the chefs in the other windows and exclaimed excitedly:
"Hey, guys, the boy brought by your majesty is dining in our dining hall No.3 tonight When he goes to your side to get food, he must get more meat Well, remember to give the best meat to this little guy... "
"No problem!"
"I see!"
The other chefs clapped their chests to make sure.
All of a sudden, this movement attracted a lot of envious eyes.
Yes, there is enough rice in the canteen. As long as you can eat, no one will stop you, but there is a certain limit on fish, shellfish and other meat.
Although meat is not too little, who doesn''t want to eat more meat?
Suvey blushed.
He couldn''t laugh or cry, looking at the rice piled up in the bowl, immediately confirmed that even if the two add up, they can''t eat so much.
This terrible fact makes him feel for the first time that eating is such a difficult thing.
In addition, the Fat Chef repeatedly stressed that "if he can''t finish eating, he will be fined", which also makes him feel heavy pressure.
Suwei lifted the heavy bowl with both hands and said weakly:
"Mr. chef, I I really can''t eat so much, and I don''t have the money to pay the fine... "
The Fat Chef waved his hand, and his fat face laughed like a chrysanthemum:
"little guy, take your time when you can''t finish eating Besides, you are not a worker on the construction site. No one will punish you for your money... "
He knocked on the wooden table again and urged:
"go and get some food, the people in the back are still waiting!"
Suvey had to face a little and walk to the next window.
