While working, everyone talked and laughed:

"On New Year's Day, can we also go to the staff canteen of the village chief's house to eat?"

"That's what the contract says, the transition to the end of the solar calendar, the beginning of New Year's Day, we don't want to fire, so we go to the staff canteen to eat."

"Is it possible to get a food subsidy if you fire at home?"

"That's what I said."

"I'm definitely going to eat in the cafeteria." Uncle Li stopped to drink water and rest, and said, "A while ago, the village chief bought a meal coupon out of his pocket and invited me to go to the staff canteen for a meal. ”

"Lao Li, have you been there? I heard that those employees eat casually in the morning, two meat, two vegetarian and one soup at noon, and one meat, two vegetarian and one soup in the evening, is it true? ”

"It's true! When I went, it was noon, and the village chief asked if the charcoal fire ordered by the town had arrived, and the person who delivered the goods to the door couldn't find the village chief's house, so I took him there. The village chief insisted on leaving me for lunch. I thought about doing it when I got home, so I cheekily rubbed it. It was quite hot at noon that day, and the restaurant was equipped with air conditioning, so it was cool to go in and eat. ”

Uncle Li took a sip of water and continued: "I also went to know that there are four meat and vegetarian dishes, and each person can choose two, and the meat dishes of that day include braised pork ribs, plum vegetables and pork, braised prawns, and steamed small yellow croaker." Vegetarian dishes are very common, just the water spinach we planted in the ground fried garlic, pea sprouts or something. I saw that the plum vegetables were stewed very badly, so I chose this, and I also took a small yellow croaker that I can't usually eat, and the meat is also very tender. These two meat dishes are really suitable for people like me who have bad teeth. The soup is tomato and egg soup, and the soup and rice are beaten as you like until you are full. ”

"Lao Li, listening to what you say, I'm hungry. Where did the village chief buy prawns and small yellow croaker? We don't have to go by the sea? ”

"Chengyi, doesn't that kid send someone to deliver ingredients to Yin Yin every week? Brought by the way. The shrimp was longer than my open palm, and the top was bigger. The small yellow croaker is also refreshing and tender. I heard from the village chief that it is a transitional period, so only four meat dishes and four vegetarian dishes are arranged every day, and everyone can choose two dishes from them. Among the four meat dishes, two are big meat, and the other two are fresh seafood, which was arranged by the child Yin, saying that some people like to eat meat, but there are also those who don't like to eat meat. In the evening, it will be halved, and everyone will choose from the two meat dishes. However, the soup was replaced with egg custard, which is light and nutritious. This is just a transitional period, in the future, when the pension garden is all built, the canteen should engage in the kind of self-chosen, what is called self-service, just a piece of food side by side, you can eat whatever you want, and you can come to a little bit of each dish. ”

"Old Li, don't say it, I'm hungry!"

"Hahaha!"

"Uncle Li, what about breakfast? What's it like? I heard that you can eat it all-you-can-eat ”

"Breakfast, it is made by the village chief's daughter-in-law with a few female dependents, there are quite a lot of patterns, rare rice porridge, millet porridge, sweet potato porridge and salted bean curd and sweet soybean milk that people in the city love to drink, dry buns, steamed buns, fried dumplings, fried buns, egg cakes or something, oh, there are noodles, rice rolls, tea eggs...... After eating, you can also get a fruit. It is said that a new day has begun, and everyone has to be fed before they can work hard. ”

"That's not bad! Giving people to eat as much as they want? ”

"Hey, when you can go to the cafeteria every day to eat, let you eat as much as you want, you can't eat much, a bowl of thin, a dry, at most an egg cake, take a tea egg, just eat enough!" We're not starving ghosts reincarnated. ”

“…… That's right! ”

Anyway, listening to Uncle Li's words, everyone's hearts were settled, and they began to look forward to the arrival of the New Year.

The village chief's family also has crops to harvest, and in the past few days of the autumn harvest, Xu Yin asked Aunt Song to go to the canteen to help.

Aunt Song made breakfast and went down the mountain, and she didn't come back until the cafeteria closed in the evening.

Because Xu Yin gave her an extra autumn harvest subsidy, she was quite willing to help.

It's just that in this way, what should Xu Yin's lunch and dinner do? She can't come back in time to do it.

Xu Yin considered that there were other people on the mountain, and asked them all to go down the mountain to help, they would definitely not worry about her, and when she turned around, her cousin should call her again and ask her if she was not satisfied with Brother Fang.

After thinking about it, he simply said, "Then I will also go down the mountain and feel the atmosphere of the autumn harvest." ”

Anyway, she doesn't need to be in a hurry, she has breakfast in the morning, walks slowly towards the morning sun, has dinner in the cafeteria in the evening, and slowly climbs up in the sunset, which is considered exercise.

Her physical fitness has improved a lot now, but she is still out of breath when climbing the mountain, and her cardiopulmonary function still needs to be improved!

As soon as Xu Yin said that she was going down the mountain, Xiao Tao asked Brother Fang to move the unused recliner in the utility room and put it under the eaves of the backyard of the village chief's house, so that Xu Yin had a place to take a lunch break.

After the village chief learned about it, he asked his daughter-in-law to clean up the room before her daughter's marriage and give Xu Yin a rest.

The village chief's daughter-in-law is also a neat person, not only cleaning up the room, but also changing the bed with new sheets, quilt covers, pillowcases, and inserting a handful of blooming wild daisies on the desk under the windowsill.

Xu Yin saw that they still found time to make room for themselves to rest in their busy schedules, so she really couldn't go, so she asked Brother Fang to go to the town to order a few pork dishes, one for the village chief, and the other for the employees to add a big meat dish at noon - chestnut braised pork.

The chestnuts are also bought in the town, and the fresh chestnuts from the nearby villages are stewed with braised pork after being shelled, which is particularly glutinous and delicious.

Xiao Wu also liked it very much, so he simply came back with a snakeskin bag, and counted the money they scraped together to buy it.

Aunt Song took advantage of the afternoon break to make a dish of sugar-fried chestnuts for everyone, which was very fragrant just by smelling it.

Xu Yin couldn't help but eat a few, but she didn't dare to eat more, for fear that she wouldn't be able to digest it.

Aunt Song thought that after returning to the mountain, she would make some chestnut cake for her, which would be easier to digest.

"Xu Yin, are you going down the mountain?"

Xu Huijiao and Fang Zhuolan saw that Xu Yin was also in the staff cafeteria, and ran over happily.

"How's your body? Are you tired of going up and down the mountain? Xu Huijiao asked with concern.

They also came to Taoli Village to know how bad Xu Yin's health was when she was at school, no wonder she was often seen asking for leave in the dormitory, her little face was so white that she didn't even have the strength to go to the cafeteria to eat; It's no wonder that I didn't attend the graduation ceremony.

I also came here to recuperate my body.

In this way, I didn't forget to promote the two of them, and moved the two little girls to tears.

"It's so much better than when I was in school." Xu Yin joked to herself, "In short, I am a contradiction now, sometimes I have to treat myself as a one- or two-year-old child, this can't be eaten, that can't be eaten, a lot of taboo food; Sometimes I have entered the old age life in advance, going to bed early and getting up early, soaking my feet and drying my back, and patting the liver, gallbladder and spleen meridians and eight deficiencies, and playing the Baduan Jin twice a day...... It's funny to think about. ”
