Chapter 61 Suburban Construction Sites

In April in Yunhai City, spring flowers are blooming.

Not far from the city center, in the southern suburbs, there are large areas of enclosed land.

Because of the city's master plan, a large area of land in the southern suburbs will be built into a commercial area, and some of the areas have already been constructed, and the unconstructed areas are overgrown with weeds and wildflowers.

On a construction site, workers are busy, driving piles, mixing cement, loading tower cranes, and transporting building materials......

In a corner of the construction site, there is a self-built canteen next to the workers' dormitory, and a middle-aged fat woman in her 40s is an aunt invited by the engineering team to cook.

The woman's surname is Zhao, her name is Zhao Shufen, her family lives in a village near the construction site, and she usually focuses on farming.

On the construction site, Zhao Shufen was affectionately called Sister Zhao by the workers.

She is responsible for cooking three meals a day for the workers.

Breakfast is very simple, get up early to steam steamed buns, cook porridge, mix pickles.

The workers on the construction site got up early, and Sister Zhao got up earlier than the workers, and prepared breakfast before dawn.

The workers started to work after breakfast, and Sister Zhao began to prepare lunch.

Every morning, she goes to the nearby market to buy groceries.

The construction site is surrounded by rural areas, and many villagers will take their home-grown vegetables and fruits to the market to sell, and Sister Zhao will buy a batch as soon as possible.

It was still early to finish buying vegetables, and Sister Zhao stared at a green meadow outside the construction site, and a thought popped up in her heart.

There are a lot of shepherd's cabbage in the field, as well as other kinds of wild vegetables, it is normal to eat wild vegetables in the countryside in spring, it is better to dig some camellia and come back at noon to make cold wild vegetables to eat, and you can also save a lot of vegetable money.

Thinking of it, Sister Zhao found a small shovel to wipe the wall from the construction site, took a few plastic bags, crossed the fence of the construction site, entered the wild grass next to it and began to dig wild vegetables.

This wild meadow has been undisturbed for a long time, and the wild vegetables grow very luxuriantly.

Capsule, purslane, bracken, dandelion, small root garlic, marantou, spiny cabbage, spiny cabbage...... There is a lot of variety.

However, the most common of the wild plants is the shepherd's cabbage, which has broad, jagged leaves, and some of them have white flowers and a bunch of heart-shaped seeds.

"The shepherd's cabbage in the field grows well, fat and tender. Sister Zhao was digging shepherd's cabbage while talking to herself.

In less than half an hour, two plastic bags of wild vegetables were filled.

Feeling that it was enough to make two plates of cold wild vegetables with these at noon, she put away the shovel, carried the wild vegetables, and returned to the construction site canteen.

Pick the vegetables, wash them, scald them in hot water, soak them in cold water again after taking them out, add soy sauce, monosodium glutamate, green onions, ginger, garlic and other seasonings, and a large pot of cold wild vegetables is ready.

Then I scrambled eggs with leeks I bought from the morning market, and made two meat dishes, and lunch was ready.

At noon, the sun hangs in the sky, which is the hottest time of the day, and the workers come to the canteen to eat first after noon.

The workers all have their own lunch boxes, holding lunch boxes and chopsticks to make meals, seeing that there are more meals at noon than before, some people can't help but smile and ask, "Sister Zhao, did you add food at noon today?"

"Yes, I added a cold salad, this dish is fresh, I just dug it from the open space next to it in the morning, and most of it is shepherd's cabbage. Sister Zhao chatted happily while cooking for the workers.

"The taste of this dish is good, but with less ingredients. ”

"What's missing?" Sister Zhao asked.

"Chili, all the dishes are not spicy, so it doesn't taste enjoyable at all. "Someone complained.

"Hey, I thought there was a big problem, this is a collective canteen, some people don't eat spicy, and the dishes can't be eaten when they are spicy, but you can put chili peppers after the food is put in your own bowl, I just made oil and spicy peppers this morning, right there, go add it yourself." ”

There are several small jars on the table in the corner of the construction site canteen, which are daily condiments, salt, monosodium glutamate, soy sauce, vinegar, and freshly made oil and spicy seeds.

"Sister Zhao, didn't you say it earlier, I've eaten half of my meal, it's good to eat oily and spicy, I like to eat oily and spicy the most. ”

The man took his lunch box and found the spicy peppers, dug up two large spoonfuls and poured them on the dishes.

After returning to his seat, he said to the worker next to him, "The oil is very fragrant, why don't you add a little bit?"

"If you don't add it, what's the point of eating chili oil? Add a meat dish without adding a meat dish, add a wild vegetable, it's really money-saving." Someone complained, took the wild vegetables in the rice, and set it aside, obviously dissatisfied with the new dish.

"You are satisfied, this wild vegetable is still dug by Sister Zhao herself, and we still want to eat more meat dishes for our little food fee? ”

"Bitter, unpalatable!" the worker complained in a low voice, took out the leafy vegetables from the lunch box, threw them into the trash can next to him, and ate only eggs and a little meat from the meat vegetables.

"I was picky when I ate on the construction site, and I was careful that I didn't have enough to eat, and I was hungry in the afternoon. ”

Although dozens of workers ate in the site canteen, they ate quickly, and everyone thought that they could take a short break after eating quickly.

After eating fast, we will eat up the food in my lunch box for more than ten minutes, and it will only take more than 20 minutes to eat slowly, and everyone will go to the shed one after another, ready to squint for a while and then start the afternoon work.

started to eat from the canteen, and after more than 20 minutes, only Sister Zhao was left in the canteen, and there were two workers who ate the slowest to wash the lunch boxes.

"Hey, Lao Li, do you feel that something is wrong? Why do I feel dizzy and dry after eating?" A worker who was washing the lunch box looked very uncomfortable holding his head.

"Me too, disgusting. Another worker was holding his stomach, also looking very uncomfortable.

"Don't eat anything bad at noon, right?"

Sister Zhao was also cleaning pots and pans by the pool, and when she heard the conversation of the workers, she was very angry, "The food I cook is very hygienic, why has it become a bad thing?"

The two uncomfortable workers no longer had the heart to argue with her, and at this moment, suddenly another worker hurriedly ran into the canteen and shouted: "Oh no, Lao Li, it's not good, something happened!"

Before Lao Li could speak, he threw up all over the ground with a wow.
