When the cafeteria aunt appeared in front of me, I thought she was here to ask for evaluation, but I never expected that her first sentence was: "I heard that you have an opinion about the food in the cafeteria." ”

"Opinions? Absolutely nothing! Just advice. "I remember that there was such a thing, that day, my aunt was very reluctant to put down the book, and the fried vegetables were twice as salty as usual. It happened to be my turn to be on duty with Navy, and one bucket of water was enough for the class every day, but that day I was stunned to change two buckets, and when I changed the second bucket, Navyi went to the studio, and I completed it with my bare hands, which was quite arduous. Then he wrote a letter to his aunt from the bottom of his heart, suggesting that she save costs and be merciful.

However, what about the anonymity, you found me so quickly, auntie, you are sharp-eyed.

"Don't play word games with me, I can't read the articles you guys with a pen, come with me." Aunt majestically led the way.

It turns out that I can't understand it, so what is the best way to communicate? I carefully recalled the suggestion, which was absolutely sincere and courteous, and easy to understand.

Who knows, the aunt who turned into the back kitchen changed the murderous spirit in the front hall, and cried to me with a handful of snot and tears that the work of the canteen was not easy: "The taste is originally difficult to adjust, salty and light, light and more, why do you want to be aggressive to sue me?" I am old and young, my husband is unemployed and laid off, and the whole family depends on me to support myself, you are going to cut off people's livelihood......"

A mere suggestion of a hundred-word essay in exchange for a reply from a book of 10,000 words. After listening to her tearful accusation, I felt guilty if I were a bystander. I respectfully handed over the tissue: "Auntie, I don't understand the hardships of life when I'm young, so don't be like me, okay?" ”

"Not good! I don't have the same knowledge as you, but the school attaches great importance to it, and has ordered me to rectify and improve the quality within a time limit, otherwise I will leave. "My aunt took the tissue from my hand and wiped the tears or sweat from my face." You don't have a backache when you stand and talk, I don't know that the family-style kitchenette is nutritious and tastes good, but there are nearly 3,000 teachers, students and staff in the school, and when it is time to eat, the black pressure rushes to the canteen, and I look at it and my mind is dizzy and my eyes are black. If you want to increase the number of people, you have to lose wages, what do you want me to do? If I don't care how much I earn, I'll do this thankless job. ”

"Well, auntie, do you think that's good? You are short of manpower, I have time, I will give you a hand in my spare time, choose a dish, brush a pot, and make up for it. "I really didn't know that the school would take my advice so seriously, otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned it.

My aunt looked at me with disgust: "With your small arms and thin legs, you can be blown away by the wind when you walk, and give me a hand." ”

I don't blame my aunt for her appearance: "I see that you are tired today, or this kitchen will be handed over to me to clean up, why not, you will advise you?" ”

The aunt asked suspiciously: "You accompany you for damaging public property?" ”

I replied, "Even if you doubt my ability, you should believe in the quality of this stainless steel kitchenware, you are fine." ”

So, I took a lunch break and changed my aunt's opinion of me.

During the afternoon recess, after learning that I didn't take a lunch break to comfort my aunt's injured heart, Zang Qing looked at me with an incredulous expression: "Before, the suggestion box in the cafeteria was so full that I couldn't stuff a note anymore. Later, it was empty. You know why? ”

I was curious and shook my head.

"There are so many people who mention it, and it hasn't changed, so I don't bother to mention it." She said to me with a sympathetic face, "So, you can go buy a lottery ticket." ”

Is it my honor, or is it my misfortune? No wonder my aunt won't forgive me, I should tell her that I'm new and don't understand the hardships of life.

After dinner, I still went to the back kitchen to report for duty, and my aunt didn't say anything, just cleaned up with me.

For the next week, I dedicated my lunch break and evening free time to the kitchen. The aunt was finally willing to speak: "Okay, child, seeing that you do your work so neatly, I know that it is not easy for you." ”

"Well, it's much easier for me than you, and I'm the only one who needs to feed the whole family." I pretended to smile lightly, and I was the only one.

When it was time to leave, I heard my aunt say to herself, "Alas, the children of the poor are in charge of the house. ”

It's a familiar phrase, but I haven't heard it for too long, and no one has said it behind my back since my grandmother left.

Whenever this happens, my grandfather will say, "Our children have ideals and ambitions, where are they poor?" ”

Auntie, don't play word games with me, the little heart really can't stand it.

However, I have more and more tacit understanding with my aunt's division of labor, and occasionally, she also opens a small stove for me. It was also after eating her small kitchen that I felt that in fact, my aunt's craftsmanship was not bad, but there were many things and chaos.

The kitchen is not a big deal, but there is a lot of work. Firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are not simpler than piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and hops. A dish and a meal, like a word, if it is carefully crafted, it becomes a delicacy of its own, which is endlessly memorable; If it is shoddy, it is naturally difficult to get off the basket, and it is inevitable that no one cares. However, it will take time to work hard, and if you "get two sentences in three years", you will already have "frozen bones on the road".

Believing that the total income of the canteen is a constant, and the manpower is inversely proportional to the personal income, the aunt insists on not increasing the manpower.

However, due to limited manpower and limited energy, the quality of the meals cannot be guaranteed. As far as I know, the day students in the class have become free delivery people for takeaways, oriented to schools.

Moreover, because it is impossible to predict the specific number of diners at a time, the things made in the canteen are either incomplete or not enough to eat, more waste of resources, less complaints, and quantity has become another flaw in the canteen in addition to quality.

The aunt pursues the maximization of the income of the canteen, and the maximization of the income of the canteen is based on the needs of students as the ultimate goal. Since students demand that the meals are appetizing and eaten, that is, quality and quantity, the canteen must make and cook enough meals according to the needs of the students, that is, quality and quantity, in order to make a profit. Therefore, quality vs. quantity is determined by the student.

When my aunt complained again that the work in the canteen was difficult to do, I forgot the pain after the scar was healed, and gave her another suggestion: "You can post a notice in the canteen, and ask the members of each class to report the number of diners the next day every day, and control the amount first, so as to eliminate waste, and let you do your best to avoid useless work." ”

Auntie muttered a few useful words, or let me give her this notice, considering the time schedule for purchasing ingredients and making meals, after the aunt's confirmation, the meal registration time is set before self-study every night, the way to report meals can be notes, text messages, oral, and the content of the meal report only needs to indicate the number of class members.

Because it is from the perspective of advocating food conservation and eliminating waste of resources, this notice has been recognized by the school, and the class teachers are also urging the students to cooperate with the work of the life committee in the class, so it has a strong executive power.

When the number of diners is large, the canteen ensures that everyone has something to eat; When the number of diners is small, the canteen ensures that everyone eats well; The former does not waste resources or saves costs, and the latter saves a lot of fast food stomachs.
