In the cafeteria of this coal mine, windows for cooking meals are lined up.

Meals of different prices are placed behind different windows.

This is somewhat similar to the structure of the school cafeteria in the secondary technical school that Luo Xuan attended.

However, I don't know what the reason is.

The dining window in this cafeteria is strictly separated from the dining hall by a thick wooden fence.

The cafeteria staff standing inside didn't bother to wear white coats anymore, but each wore a sweater and worked there with a ladle.

Luo Xuan took a closer look:
This eating hall is divided into three parts by a half-person-high brick wall and a wooden fence reaching to the top.

Just like the isolation zone at the train station where you line up to buy tickets, each group of people who have finished eating will enter a different eating area.

That is to say: they all work in this coal mine.

But when it was time to eat, even though they said they could meet and see each other.

However, the miners who went to the mine at different times could not gather together.

Above the first window, there is a small wooden sign three feet wide.

The ink on the wooden sign has faded, but if you look carefully, you can still change the content written on it: the miner's free meal window.

Behind the grille of the window, on the cement platform with enamel pots, there is a pot of yellow rice and a pot of boiled vermicelli with sour cabbage.

Among the new group of workers.

The person in the first row was named Jian Teng. He held up the brand new aluminum lunch box hesitantly: "Master, what kind of rice is this? Are we going to eat this?"

Because these people who just came in are all farmers from Bashu Province and Nanyun Province.

They have never seen yellow rice made of broomcorns like Daxibei, and they have no idea what it is!
What's more, this kind of yellow rice is also mixed with gravel and broomcorn shells that can be seen with the naked eye.

Seeing this situation,

Even the most stupid and foolish people would probably know that when this kind of food is eaten in the mouth, not only will the mouth be full, but also the teeth will be stuffed, and if one is not careful, it will cause a toothache.

If he meets the kind of person who is extremely hungry and eats voraciously, his gums may bleed!
——In the legendary Zhazidong, the food for Xiaoluotou is probably nothing more than this, right?
The buck-toothed woman who was in charge of cooking had a face full of flesh.

Hearing the other party's question, she tapped the rice bowl with the long-handled spoon in her hand: "Don't you like this food? In the difficult times of the past few years, you still wouldn't be able to eat it!"

Jian Teng was startled by the knocking sound.

Then he asked cautiously, "Sister, is this the only thing we can eat tonight?"

"Want to eat something good? Yes."

The woman with a swollen face pointed to the next window with a spoon, "Here, at window No. 2, there are donkey meat fried with dried chili and big white steamed buns mixed with only 5% coarse grains."

That Jian Teng was overjoyed, and happily took the lunch box to window No. 2 to get some food.

Luo Xuan, who was standing at the back of the line, had always been extra careful.

Relying on his good eyesight, Luo Xuan could clearly see a wooden sign above window number two: window for management cadres to eat meals.

After Jian Teng was at the No. 2 window, he took a spoonful of dry chili and fried donkey meat, he didn't want to eat steamed buns, so he continued walking along the passage.

Immediately afterwards, there is window No. 3.

In fact, above the fence of this window, there is still a wooden signboard, which is written in faded ink that is almost unreadable: senior executives eat rice.

On the concrete platform inside this window,

There are also two huge enamel pots: a pot of white rice and a pot of braised beef with potatoes.

Jian Teng asked the person behind the grill: "Master, can I have braised pork and rice?"

The cook inside spit out a puff of smoke towards the pot of braised pork: "Yes, you can even eat double portions."

Jian Teng looked at himself and the fried donkey meat with dried chili in the aluminum box, and finally he could only sigh: "Then please, master, give me a piece of braised pork and a piece of rice. The box is small, and there are too many meals." If you don’t, you can’t fit it.”

After he finished packing his meals, he walked along the passage and entered the corresponding hall area to sit down and start eating.

With that Jian Teng in the front, he will act like a baby for everyone.

The miners queuing up at the back followed him in every way: they all went to fry donkey meat with dried chili, and braised beef and white rice for eating.

Working in this coal mine, you can eat so well?

For a time,

The faces of these new workers were beaming, and everyone was very happy.

It's just that these people didn't notice: among the twenty or thirty miners who stayed in the middle of the dining room and ate in another area.

one of them,

When he was cooking in Jian Teng, he murmured in a low voice, "Oh! These idiots!"

It's just that this person just muttered such a sentence.

Brother Hao who was standing aside pointed at him with his finger, and the frightened man immediately swallowed the words behind him!

When it was Luo Xuan's turn to eat, he naturally followed the big guys and ordered the same meals: donkey meat, beef, and white rice.

If you don't eat good food, you are a fool to eat that kind of coarse grain mixed with sand!

As for saying that I clearly knew that the meal just now, I definitely fell into the pit carefully dug by the other party.
who cares!
The world is big, and the food is the biggest.

Pit pits are healthier.
At the time when everyone was gobbling and eating, their mouths were full of oil.

Brother Hao also came over with his lunch box, "Hey, brothers all eat so well? No wonder people say that those who come out to work in Bashu are the most willing to eat."

Jian Teng said with a smile: "I'm so hungry. I'm thinking that I can eat whatever I want, so as not to let my stomach go hungry. I don't think so, this coal mine is benevolent!
He actually managed such a good meal for us.

Tsk tsk tsk, to be honest, it's the first time in my life that I have eaten goulash. "

The people who are busy eating next to them,
Everyone happily agreed: "Yes, this donkey meat is quite delicious. It is said that the dragon meat in the sky is the donkey meat on the ground. This is the first time in my life that I have eaten donkey meat today!"

Donkey meat is precious, but that is elsewhere.

In Saibei, there is the famous "Jami Donkey". The price of donkey meat sold locally is actually not that expensive.

There is also this Beyond the Great Wall, where there are beef, mutton and horse meat for big guys to choose from.

Therefore, the price of donkey meat is not very high in the north and outside the Great Wall.

Some of them asked, "Brother Hao, why do you only eat these? Why don't you order a roast beef with potatoes?"

Brother Hao himself, he only took two steamed buns of coarse grains, beat the dried chili for a while and fried the donkey meat.

Hearing other people's question, Brother Hao shook his head: "I'm running around here and there, just trying to make money and go home. How dare you eat so extravagantly like you all!"

Jian Teng stuffed a large piece of beef into his own mouth.

Then he asked vaguely, "Isn't this a free meal at the mine? If you don't eat it for free, you don't eat it."

"Free meals?"

Brother Hao's eyes widened in disbelief, "I think you want to eat dragon meat! I don't know if you are high-ranking cadres or some kind of extraordinary person?"

"The food at window 1 is indeed free for you to eat."

Brother Hao pointed to the wooden sign above the window, "If you can read, you can go over and see what is written on it.

If you are illiterate, then you have to speak up and ask others!I am uneducated, and my mouth is not diligent, dessert? "

Jian Teng was taken aback: "What, what do you mean? Brother Hao, don't scare me."

Brother Hao snorted coldly: "Is your head growing on your butt? In the canteen of a public unit, you can let the big guys open their bellies and eat roast beef with potatoes for free?"

"what?"

Jian Teng, together with all the miners beside him, all opened their mouths.

In an instant, the big guys paused there motionless, as if someone had pressed the pause button at this very moment.

"No, it's not free, is it?"

After a pause of more than ten seconds, Jian Teng finally came to his senses: "Well, this meal is not free, is it?"

"The dogs in the production team have to rob if they want to eat hot shit."

Brother Hao, the donkey, slowly ate the donkey meat in his lunch box: "A suffering person who goes down to dig a mine, and he still counts on the mine to provide him with free roast beef with potatoes? Do you think it is possible?"

Hearing Brother Hao say this,
Everyone present was numb: "Then, how much is this meal?"

Brother Hao glared at him: "I'm not a food seller. If you ask me, who should I ask?"

"Gudong-"

Jian Teng swallowed the piece of beef in his mouth extremely hard, and now he feels that it is not delicious at all.

"Brother Hao, how much is your donkey meat?"

Jian Teng asked: "And those two Zamian steamed buns, how much do they sell in this cafeteria?"

Brother Hao sighed: "The prices in the Northwest are expensive. The meal like mine may only cost eight cents!"

At the back of the canteen, among the cooks who were in charge of making meals, someone said at this time: "Brother Hao, your steamed buns are two by two, and a steamed bun costs 2 cents.

干辣椒炒驴肉,一份是1块5毛。拢共算下来才1块9毛8,您若是给我两块钱,我还得找你2分呢
Forget it, Brother Hao, you don't like the 2 cents.For me, it is the money to turn on the water. "

In a restaurant outside.

Two taels of steamed buns, if food stamps are also converted into money, a two taels of white flour steamed buns sell for roughly 8 cents.

And in the cafeteria of this coal mine, there are miscellaneous steamed buns mixed with half of coarse grains.

It is actually 3 times more expensive than the pure white flour steamed buns outside!
only,
Since coal mines are all opened in the wilderness far away from human settlements, no matter what they do, the cost is very high.

The price of anything in the mining area is double that of other places, which is actually not too much.

But in the cafeteria of the Doujiapan Coal Mine, this kind of steamed buns mixed with half of the mixed noodles sell for 2 cents and 4 cents each.

This price is indeed a bit out of line.

Hearing the price quoted by the cook, Brother Hao himself was taken aback: "Er Mazi, didn't a donkey meat sell for 1 cents before?"

"It's still selling for 1 yuan and 1 cents now."

The cook said with a smile, "It's just that Brother Hao, who are you? I'm making you high-quality donkey meat."

"Mud!"

Brother Hao muttered: "Mamapi! Now that I'm in the mine, are you killing me too?"

It costs 1 yuan and 5 yuan just to beat a donkey meat?

The price of roasted beef with potatoes is too high? !
Now, Jian Teng was so frightened that he almost collapsed, "Master, how much do I get for such a meal?"

The man said with a smile: "You can eat with peace of mind. Money is just a piece of paper. Money comes and goes, so don't beg for anger."

Jian Teng didn't dare to be so open-minded, so he asked: "Master, I beg you, tell me how much is my meal?"

The man leisurely lit a cigarette.

With the smoke slowly exhaled, a sentence floated towards Jian Teng: "Not much. A piece of high-quality donkey meat costs 1 yuan, and half a catty of rice costs 5 cents.

A serving of roast beef with potatoes costs 2 yuan!Just now, I gave you a big copy. "

It cost 4 yuan to eat a meal? !
"Gudong-"

"Bam—"

"Jinling bell palm—"

All of a sudden, the dining hall was overwhelmed with people!
Many people who were angry and anxious, because of their extremely prodigal behavior, were overwhelmed for a while and fell down on their backs!
4 dollars.

In the villages of the production teams in the Bashu area, the pocket money of many households is only 1 or 2 yuan a month!

The whole family can't wait to break a penny in half and spend it, and they have to calculate repeatedly all the time: buying salt this month costs 1 cents.

The money to pump kerosene for a month is estimated to be 1 cents.

This month, Yueniang often suffers from headaches, and buying her "headache powder" may cost another 9 cents.

The eldest son goes to school,
The pencil is worn down to the length of a finger, and it costs another 7 cents to buy him a new pencil.

It has to be the kind without an eraser.

Otherwise, the price will be 1 cent more expensive.
The members of the production team just counted their lives with their fingers.

But now these people are far away from home, dreaming of working hard, even equivalent to working hard.

A person who intends to earn some money to support their family, but just such a meal, actually killed 4 yuan? !
"Clap clap-"

"Woooooo-"

There was chaos in the dining room: there was a man with straight eyes, looking at the beef and donkey meat in his bowl, with big drops of tears, which couldn't help but flow into the lunch box.

There are also people who slap themselves in the face remorsefully, trying to use physical self-punishment in order to alleviate their inner guilt.
There are also middle-aged men who squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands and howled loudly!
The saliva in the mouth, along with the food residues that have not been chewed, mixed with snot and tears flowed on the ground.
Among the twenty or so men.

Everyone is venting their guilt and remorse in the dining room in the way he thinks is the most venting.

throughout the area.

The only ones who can remain calm at this time are Big Brother Hao and Luo Xuan.

In fact, Luo Xuan himself didn't want to appear different.

But the problem is: I really can't cry by myself!I can't even pretend that sadness is flowing against the river.

This is no way.

Big Brother Hao glanced at Luo Xuan, and couldn't help being curious: "Little brother, is your family rich?"

Luo Xuan shook his head.

"Don't you feel sorry for eating 4 yuan for a meal?" Brother Hao asked: "Or, you are a rotten dragon and are not afraid of debts?"

While picking beef to eat, Luo Xuan still shook his head: "I can eat enough for myself and the whole family is not hungry.

No matter what other people say, no matter whether he is for my own good or not.

Anyway, I only believe that what you eat in your stomach is your own. "

"hey-hey--"

Luo Xuan added: "Besides, I don't like money."

"There is a kind."

Brother Hao raised his hand and gave Luo Xuan a thumbs up.

Then I saw him take advantage of the situation, slapped the palm of his hand on the table fiercely, and shouted loudly: "Shut up, Duge, beg me!!!"
