Chapter 558: The legendary "seeing the plum to quench thirst" encouragement method
At this point, he was already a little impatient to see the quality of the flour in the bag, as this was closely related to their own interests.
After the three bags of flour were opened, Brother Li quickly grabbed a handful of flour and placed it in his palm to check it carefully.
After a while, he looked up and said excitedly: "Oh my God, it's top-grade flour, without any impurities."
Then he waved his hand and said to the Sancai Gang families at the scene: "Hurry up and start making a lot of steamed buns first, and then boil a few pots of noodle soup, and add more flour."
After receiving the order, everyone started working immediately. Many people present were from Northeast China, and their best skill was making pasta. However, since they came here, they had not seen such good flour for a long time. Now it was their chance to show their skills, and everyone was full of energy.
Brother Li then went to a box of canned food, unpacked it and found fifty cans neatly arranged inside. As a former member of the Northeast Army, he had eaten a lot of canned food.
He pried open a can skillfully and saw that it was actually filled with large chunks of beef and a lot of soybeans. He couldn't help but sigh:
"It's really extravagant. They actually use beef to make canned food, and put at least half a pound of it. It's really a waste of money."
But even though he complained, he still found a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully. Immediately, the unique aroma of beef made him intoxicated. He hadn't eaten this good thing for many years.
When he opened his eyes, he heard a sound of swallowing saliva, so he handed the can over and specifically instructed:
"You guys share this can, but only this one. No one is allowed to take it secretly. These are limited. Since the owner trusts us, we, the Sancai Gang, cannot lose this person."
"By the way, you don't need to cook this can. Just open it and eat it directly. It's super delicious."
Of course, it feels a bit wasteful to eat it directly like this. In fact, the best way is to cook a big pot of wild vegetables, add a few handfuls of rice, and then put one or two cans of food, which will be delicious canned wild vegetable porridge; if you put some flour, it will be canned wild vegetable dumpling soup.
Although it is quite satisfying to eat it directly while holding it in your arms, it always feels a bit wasteful.
About half an hour later, the first basket of steamed buns was ready, and the others were ready one after another. Brother Li asked someone to quickly load the finished steamed buns onto the speedboat and deliver them to the porters as soon as possible.
At this time, the porters who were unloading the ship were already very tired. Because there was a lot of work to do today, everyone ate mixed grain and sweet potato rice in the morning. Each person ate two large bowls. However, after working for so long, that little bit of food without oil had long been digested.
Now everyone's stomach is growling with hunger, but they cannot stop the work at hand, especially now that three companies are working together, and they cannot be outdone by the other two.
Big Brother Tang also felt a little hungry at this time, but he was responsible for directing the brothers to work, so he could hold on. However, the other brothers had been doing heavy work for a whole morning and were already starving. Now everyone was gritting their teeth and holding on.
Suddenly, a man carrying a bag lost his balance and fell to the ground, with the food on his back thrown to the side. Fortunately, this happened inside the cabin. If he was on the deck, the two bags of food on his back would have fallen into the sea, which would have been troublesome.
This is 100 kilograms of high-quality food, enough for a family to eat for two months. If we really have to pay for it, no one can afford it.
This is still the least valuable food. If it is canned food, it is even more worthless. Just thinking about the price makes one's scalp numb.
Seeing this, Brother Tang ran over to check the situation. Fortunately, no one was injured, so he quickly asked them to rest aside.
Then he shouted loudly: "Brothers, if you really can't bear it, take a break, but don't force yourself and hurt yourself."
After he finished speaking, he took out his pocket watch, looked at the time, and continued:
"According to the time, the Second Gang Leader should have brought lunch here. If we hold on a little longer, we can eat."
After hearing this, everyone was immediately cheered up and gritted their teeth and picked up the sacks.
At this time, Brother Tang used the ancient legendary "looking at the plum to quench thirst" encouragement method, but it can only be used once.
Now he could only pray in his heart that the second gang leader would bring people to deliver lunch as soon as possible. The brothers had actually reached their limit. If they didn't eat something, they would not have the energy to do heavy work in the afternoon.
Another half an hour passed like this, and then someone shouted, "Here they come! The food delivery guy is here!"
After hearing this, everyone stretched their necks to watch, and some even stopped what they were doing.
Seeing this, Brother Tang could only shout, "Everyone, keep working. Eat in batches. The first group should go first and take over the food."
After Brother Li and the dozen baskets of steamed buns were on board, Brother Tang saw the white flour steamed buns and immediately frowned, and said in a reproachful tone:
"Second brother, why are there only white flour buns? They are so delicious. We won't be able to live like this in the future."
"Brother, this is not our food. Manager Qian saw how hard we worked to move the supplies and how poorly we ate, so he specially allocated some food to make steamed buns. These are just fresh out of the oven, and more will be delivered later. It's enough, you can eat as much as you want."
"I also brought six large buckets of dumpling soup, which is best eaten with steamed buns. By the way, Manager Qian also specifically instructed that all meals during the unloading period will be provided by them. We will have noodles at night and midnight snacks. We will also give out a can of food with each meal."
Hearing such good news, Brother Tang also sighed, saying that this employer was really kind and considerate of the low-level people like them.
Then he asked curiously, "Second Brother, are these benefits only for our Sancai Gang, or for all unloading personnel?"
"Brother, according to what Manager Qian meant, it's targeting all of us. Oh, and he also specifically asked me to deliver food to the soldiers of the 1125th Regiment's Guard Company. The standards are the same."
Hearing this, Brother Tang felt relieved and even said:
"Second brother, you should go quickly. By the way, remember to build good relationships with those soldiers. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
After Brother Li got off the boat, Brother Tang asked everyone to take a rest. Now that they had such good food, they would be able to work faster later and there would be no need to rush for this little time.
At the same time, he also sent people to find the heads of the other two families to divide the other things as well.
When the managers of the Zhang and Zheng families came over, they saw the people of the Sancai Gang eating steamed buns, and they couldn't help but say enviously:
"Boss Tang, you guys in the Sancai Gang are really arrogant. You can even eat white flour buns. I really envy you."
Brother Tang also responded with a smile: "My two family heads, this is specially arranged by the cargo owner. As long as you participate in the unloading today, you can eat as much steamed buns and dumpling soup as you want, and each person will also get a can of beef for one meal."
"It's not just at noon, but also at night, and even at midnight for supper."
After hearing this, Zhang and Zheng, the two heads of the family, exclaimed in unison: "What a kind and righteous employer, and we are so lucky to have met him."
