As soon as Liang Qian appeared in the office today, she saw her master Sister Feng already at the desk.

"Sister Feng, good morning."

Liang Qian's cheerful voice made Feng Jie feel better for a moment.

"Xiao Liang came to work early on his first day too!"

Sister Feng held the thermos and the rag at the same time.

"Come with me to find the way."

Liang Qian hurried forward to help take the rag from her hand and followed her to the water room.

After the hot water was filled, Feng Jie introduced the surrounding environment to her. By the time the two of them had brought the hot water back, the rest of the people had arrived one after another.

The director did not assign any tasks. Feng Jie took out some work reports of the propaganda department in previous years from the filing cabinet and let Liang Qian slowly familiarize herself with them.

"Xiao Liang, these reports and materials are all promotional materials for our factory since its establishment. Take your time to read them and just use them to familiarize yourself with the environment."

After Feng Jie finished her instructions, she prepared to go back to knit a sweater.

"Sister Feng, this is for you."

Liang Qian took out two bars of shampoo soap that she had prepared for her from her bag and handed them to Feng Jie.

"Yours looks better than the ones from the supply and marketing cooperative."

Feng Jie looked around and saw that no one noticed, so she quietly put it away and took out three dollars from the drawer to give it to her.

"Take this and don't let anyone see it."

Liang Qian saw that it was three dollars, which was more than what was offered on the black market.

"Sister, you can't take this. Just think of it as your disciple being filial to your master. I'll give it to you if you want it later."

If Liang Qian accepted the money, she would seem ignorant. If Liu Min'er wanted to give her the money, she would take it. But Feng Jie is her master, so she cannot take it.

Feng Jie saw that she really didn't want to accept it, so she let it go and planned to take better care of this girl in the future.

When Wang Zhaohua came into the office, he saw the newcomer Liang Qian looking at the documents on the desk very seriously.

Seeing this scene, I nodded. I didn’t expect that he was such a studious person.

Let’s look at Liu Min’er and Huang Jianguo. Whenever they get together, they start gossiping about the latest news about the textile factory.

Just as they were talking about the latest gossip in the factory, they saw the director coming. They quickly stood up, greeted Wang Zhaohua, and continued gossiping.

The Propaganda Department is a relatively leisurely job in a textile factory.

Especially now that it is winter, there is less work in the factory, and the propaganda department is even more idle.

Liang Qian carefully looked through the reports of previous years. Feeling tired, she looked up at the time and found it was already 11 o'clock.

"Xiao Liang, did you bring your lunch, or are you going to the cafeteria with us?"

Liu Min'er took her lunch box and prepared to go to the cafeteria. It was said that there would be pork belly stewed with vermicelli in the cafeteria today.

The good thing about the Propaganda Department is that you can go to the canteen to get your meals before you get off work.

Liang Qian was busy all night and didn't have a good rest. She didn't have time to prepare lunch in the morning. She thought about trying the food in the cafeteria. If possible, she would eat in the cafeteria in the future.

"Min'er, Sister Feng, I'll go to the cafeteria with you."

Liu Miner saw Liang Qian busy looking at reports from previous years for the whole morning, and thought about talking to her privately in the afternoon to tell her not to be so serious, as it seemed that they were all too idle.

The Propaganda Department’s canteen is located in the westernmost yard and is one of the larger ones in the factory.

There are six people working in the cafeteria. Apart from the head chef, there are five others and one apprentice. The rest help prepare vegetables, wash vegetables, cut vegetables, and help serve meals at the window.

"Liang Qian, if you want to eat something later, just tell the chef or the waitress directly. They don't need tickets to eat in the cafeteria. Usually, stir-fries are a few cents or 10 or 20 cents. If you order something like today's twice-cooked pork, it's 15 cents."

Liu Min'er was afraid that she didn't understand, so she told her.

In her previous life, Liang Qian started out in the Liujia Brigade and returned to Kyoto after more than a year. She had never experienced eating in a factory.

"Thank you, Min'er. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known."

While they were talking, several people had already appeared in the cafeteria. Fortunately, they came early, otherwise there would be no place to sit. Because there was pork belly stewed with vermicelli today, there would definitely be many people and some of the employees' families would come to the cafeteria to eat.

A few people happened to be in the front of the line. At this time, many people had come to line up one after another, and many female workers wearing hats appeared here directly.

The older sister who served the food saw that Liang Qian was a new face and was with Sister Feng, so she knew that she was also a newcomer to the Propaganda Department.

Sister Feng is very familiar with the lady who serves the food, and she also has a good relationship with the chef in the kitchen. They were among the first group of people to work in the factory.

"Xiao Jie, is this the new worker from the Propaganda Department?"

"Sister Cai, this is my apprentice. Today is my first day at work. Remember to do the same as usual."

Seeing that the two people looked familiar, I knew that they must have a special relationship. It would be a good thing to be able to establish a good relationship with the people in the kitchen at this time.

"Hello, Sister Cai, my name is Liang Qian. You can call me Xiao Liang from now on."

Liang Qian was very smart. After Sister Feng finished her meal, she handed her lunch box to her.

"Please give me one small stir-fry dish, one portion of pork belly stewed with vermicelli, and five steamed buns."

After knowing that she was Feng Jie's apprentice, Sister Cai became even more concerned about her, wondering if such a young girl had a partner.

"Okay, sister, I'll call you."

"Sister, do you want to use tickets or money?"

Liang Qian was stunned after hearing this. Didn't they say that tickets were not required here? Why did they need tickets?

"Oh, you see, I'm a master. I forgot to tell you that when we eat here, we can go to the finance department to get food tickets. If you don't have one, you can pay first. I'll take you to the finance office to talk to them later."

Feng Jie just remembered that she had not told Xiao Liang about getting the meal and vegetable tickets.

"Sister Feng, it's okay that I didn't tell you. I'll pay first today. Sister Cai, can you help me calculate how much this is?"

Looking at the self-blaming master, Liang Qian felt a little embarrassed and ashamed for a moment.

"Five steamed buns for twenty-five cents, pork belly stewed with vermicelli for fifteen cents, and a small stir-fry for five cents, a total of forty-five cents."

Sister Cai calculated the money quickly and then collected it, but she didn't chat with them anymore because there were more and more people queuing outside.

Liang Jian looked at the meal, which cost only 45 cents, and felt that prices were really low in this era.

Director Wang said that her current monthly salary is 35 yuan, so a meal only costs her 45 cents, and she still has some money left over after eating in the cafeteria every day.

Liang Qian was in a very good mood. No wonder everyone was scrambling to get a job in a factory at this time.

"The meat is stewed really well today, soft and sticky, the vermicelli is also very good and very tasty, and the steamed buns are also very soft. I feel like I can finish it all in one go."

I didn’t expect that the chef in the kitchen is so good at cooking, and the steamed buns are also made very well.

"The chef here is from a family whose ancestors used to cook for dignitaries."

Feng Jie whispered to her.
