Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

Sha Zhu did what he said. In the afternoon, while teaching cooking skills to the chefs, he announced the new rules for the service team.

New rule 1: The shift schedule is open to all chefs for supervision. If there are any opinions, they can be raised and discussed and resolved together;

Second: The level of substitute cooking fees is assessed by all chefs themselves. Each chef cooks a specialty dish without indicating who made it. Everyone votes anonymously for the substitute cooking fee that the dish deserves, in an open, fair and just manner.

Third: This kind of evaluation will be conducted every three months. The chef whose skills improve will quickly get the corresponding income. If the chef does not improve as fast as others, the income may be less, because the people who ask the service team to prepare banquets may not be able to give a price according to the chef's standards. If they can't, the chefs can only go with the market.

Of these new rules, the one that everyone cares about most is the first one, which is to make the shift schedule public, so that there won't be any private transactions under the table. People are not worried about the lack of food, but the inequality of food. Ma Hua and Fatty noticed the third rule, which is to evaluate food every three months, and whoever has better cooking skills will earn more. The two of them haven't married yet, so they want to take this opportunity to save more money so that the matchmaker can find a good marriage for them.

Sha Zhu asked the chefs to decide the time for the competition, and decided to hold the competition in a canteen one week later. Sha Zhu told Chef Ma that he didn't need to compete, after all, he was the only Hui Muslim chef. Chef Ma disagreed, saying, "We make a living by our skills. Nails are nails, rivets are rivets. Since there are rules, we have to follow them and can't make exceptions."

Sha Zhu asked: "Have you considered what dish to make? If it's meat, you might be recognized right away."

Master Ma said, "You are right. I will cook some vegetarian dishes then."

A week later, the service team started the evaluation in a canteen. Because it was the first time, Sha Zhu specially invited the factory leaders and some worker representatives to participate in the evaluation. This time, not only the chefs who had prepared banquets participated in the evaluation, but also some chefs who had never prepared banquets also proposed to participate. It would be a good idea to give it a try, just in case it succeeds.

Because there were many people participating in the competition, Sha Zhu had someone clean up a large operation room in advance, and built six new stoves inside. There were curtains between the stoves to prevent them from seeing what others were cooking and not being able to give fair scores during the evaluation. Blowers from several other canteens were also brought in, but even so, the chefs were divided into two groups and cooked a total of 18 dishes.

It was quite shocking when eighteen dishes including: Beijing-style shredded pork with soybean sauce, twice-cooked pork, braised pork, braised eggplant, braised soybean paste, home-style tofu, vegetarian shredded vegetables, etc. were placed on the cafeteria table. It was rare to see so many dishes placed together at the same time during that period. The key point was that some meat dishes were fried in duplicate, which meant that the chefs had chosen the same dishes.

Secretary Yang looked at the staff watching and asked, "Director He, are the raw materials for these dishes paid for by the government or by the chefs?"

Sha Zhu replied loudly: "Reporting to Secretary Yang and all the leaders, and comrades, all the expenses for the ingredients for this competition are paid by the chefs themselves, and they are only purchased with the help of the purchasing department. Otherwise, when the chefs bring the ingredients to the venue, they will know what dishes each other is making, which will affect the fairness of the competition."

"Okay, okay, you've thought it through very carefully. We haven't been disappointed." Secretary Yang nodded and turned to the leaders who were participating in the tasting and evaluation and said, "Since there are no other questions, let's start the tasting. Please go ahead."

Sha Zhu said quickly, "After tasting, please write down the price you are willing to pay on the paper in your hand according to the serial number next to the dish. In simple terms, if you hire this chef to prepare a banquet, how much would you pay him per table?"

After a round of tasting, some plates were empty with only soup left, while others still had some left. Just by looking at the contents of the plates, everyone knew which plate's owner had superb cooking skills. After all the judges and chefs had tasted the dishes, other employees also picked up their chopsticks to taste the remaining dishes. The employees who were lucky enough to get a taste first also said that the big pot dishes and the individual dishes that these chefs usually cooked were different.

The results came out, and several meat dishes scored high, because people were still short of meat and oil during this period, but the highest score was surprisingly the braised bean curd, a vegetarian dish. People who have eaten it said that the bean curd absorbed the soup and was smooth and chewy, and the bean curd actually tasted like meat, and beef. When Sha Zhu tasted this dish, he guessed that it was made by Master Ma from the Hui Muslim Canteen. As expected, when the results were announced, Master Ma took the lead, with an average score of 2 yuan.

后面的得分有2块的1块9的， 1块5、6四五个，1块2、3的四五个，还有6、7毛的两个。

Secretary Yang read out the results and required that the service team's future schedules must be formulated in accordance with the results, hoping that everyone can fully play their due value.

After hearing the new prices, the chefs were all very happy. The prices previously set for them were mostly around 1 yuan, and the highest original price for Chef Ma was only 1 yuan. After the re-evaluation, Chef Zhang got 5 yuan, Ma Hua and Fatty got 1 yuan and 9 yuan respectively. Although the high prices may not necessarily arrange such a high banquet, it always feels good to sort them by high and low, and if you can't get it now, it doesn't mean you can't get it in the future.

The dispute over the shift arrangement of the chef service team ended, but after the prices they set were announced, some people started to make calculations. These chefs earned a salary during the weekdays and could earn a salary no less than that outside on Sundays. How come these chefs took all the benefits? Some people told their friends about their calculations, and the friends told their acquaintances. The rumors that instability was not conducive to unity began to spread among the employees of the steel mill.

After hearing these discussions, Secretary Yang told Sha Zhu that it was time to activate the fourth new rule.

Regarding the fourth new rule: 45% of the income earned by the chef service team will be used to improve the meals for the steel mill workers, in order to provide all workers with a free meat meal every week.

This new rule was posted in written form by Sha Zhu at the entrance of each canteen. Some employees shook their heads after seeing it. How much can a meat meal cost? It's just 1 cents. Do you think you can make up for the difference of charging ten or even dozens of yuan more by paying 1 cents?

Seeing that the discussion was not stopping, Sha Zhu didn't understand why, so he went home and asked Yu Li why the service team gave out almost half of its profits, but everyone still didn't buy it?

Yu Li said: "You only said that every worker gets a free meat meal, and a meat meal costs only 1 cents. This is too different from the chefs' other income. If you multiply 1 cents by the total number of employees in the steel mill and come up with a new number, the workers will know how much the chefs have contributed."
