After eating in the small canteen, Li Shu walked to the large canteen with a thrush on his shoulders. The large canteen was where ordinary employees ate. He planned to come and see how ordinary employees ate.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came in from the door, he heard Li Xiaomin calling him.
"Hey, Uncle Min?"
Li Shu glanced at the employees who were constantly pouring into the canteen and the long queues in front of the windows, and then walked to Li Xiaomin's table with a smile.
There are four chairs at each table. Li Xiaomin and Ruan Mei sit opposite each other, and Li Shu sits on the right side of Li Xiaomin.
Regarding Ruan Mei, Li Shu called "Auntie". Ruan Mei blushed and became shy, nodded, and she suddenly changed to eating in small bites after eating in big bites just now.
"Nephew, why are you here?" Li Xiaomin was very surprised.
Li Xiaomin is very grateful to Li Shu. The current jobs he and his wife Ruan Mei are in were introduced by Li Shu.
"I'm here to meet a friend."
Li Shu smiled and said, his eyes swept over the faces of Li Xiaomin and Ruan Mei. They were rosy and energetic, and Li Xiaomin seemed to be stronger.
“How is it working at Mengba Group?”
"Okay! Of course it's very good! There's no wind or rain, and the salary is high." Li Xiaomin was beaming instantly.
Ruan Mei also nodded, with a smile on her face. She was obviously very satisfied with her current life.
"Meeting an old friend in a foreign country", Li Xiaomin felt very warm when he heard the familiar local accent.
While eating and chatting, Li Xiaomin smiled and said: "Xiaomei and I have already calculated. Our combined monthly salary is 12,000, and we can save 11,000!"
11,000 a month, including a little bonus and overtime pay a year, which is almost equivalent to working for 12 months, and you can save 132,000 that year!
After the debt is paid off, the remaining money will be used to build a two-story building in my hometown! Then if you have money, buy a BMW. I really want to have a BMW, hehe~"
Li Xiaomin seemed to be trapped in some kind of fantasy, with his mouth open and a trace of saliva flowing out from the corner of his mouth.
Ruan Mei looked at Li Shu sheepishly, then gave Li Xiaomin an angry look, and took out a tissue to wipe the saliva from the corner of Li Xiaomin's mouth:
"Stop being embarrassed and come to your senses."
"Hehe." Li Xiaomin was not annoyed, and scratched his head in embarrassment after coming back to his senses.
Li Shu keenly noticed something was wrong and said with a smile: "Uncle Min, do you owe money? I remember you don't like to borrow money. Are you in trouble?"
"Forehead."
Li Xiaomin was stunned. He looked at Ruan Mei quietly, who was immersed in her rice with a slightly red face.
Li Xiaomin changed the subject: "It's not much. I used my credit card to pay a little. By the way, nephew, try our company's food. It's delicious!"
Knowing that Li Xiaomin didn't want to say more, Li Shu didn't ask further and looked at the food on the iron plate.
The large rectangular iron plate is divided into several areas, which contain five dishes: "Chicken Stir-fried with Shredded Potatoes", "Fried Tomatoes with Eggs", "Chicken Stewed with Radish", "A Sauce Chicken Leg", and "4 Prawns".
And "half an apple", "egg soup", "noodles mixed with sauce."
As for Ruan Mei's dinner plate opposite, the staple food was replaced with rice, and "chicken stir-fried with shredded potatoes" was replaced with "chicken stir-fried with potato cubes." Well, there was one extra prawn.
He looked around. Many employees had meticulous hair and were chatting with their companions about interesting things while eating.
Their dinner plates are much richer, including fish, elbows, lion heads, ribs, etc. Some of them use special casseroles to serve the dishes, which looks much richer.
He laughed and said: "Why do other people still have ribs, lion heads, etc.?"
Li Xiaomin was slightly embarrassed and explained: "The dishes at the windows on the right side of the canteen are better, but they cost extra, while the dishes at the windows on the left are free."
Ruan Mei ate the big chicken drumsticks in small bites. The fragrant chicken drumsticks made her feel very good. She looked at the employees around her who were the same age as her and said with envy:
"I have learned that the minimum monthly salary of those employees is more than 10,000, and some even have 20,000 to 30,000. They earn so much that they are willing to spend money."
Ruan Mei is 27 years old this year, and many of the employees around her are about the same age. The gap between her peers makes her slightly silent.
Li Xiaomin couldn't bear to see it. He stood up blankly and said, "I'm going to buy a piece of fish. I remember that you love fish."
Ruan Mei was stunned, but she grabbed Li Xiaomin's hand and said firmly: "I won't buy it!!"
"Uh~" Li Xiaomin froze there instantly.
The air became quiet for a moment.
Ruan Mei comes from South Vietnam, a Southeast Asian country with a long and narrow land and vast seas. Fish is food for many people. Ruan Mei likes to eat fish, but she is reluctant to spend money to buy it.
The employees at the table next to them looked over curiously, but after seeing the clothes of Li Xiaomin and Ruan Mei, they instantly raised a smile full of superiority.
Wearing brand-name clothes, highly educated, high-income, and young, they seem to naturally have a sense of superiority over cleaning staff and security guards who do manual labor, have few promotion channels, and have low incomes.
However, Li Shu admires Ruan Mei and Li Xiaomin very much. There are not many couples who are united and have goals and pursuits and work hard to save money together, and they are worthy of praise.
Moreover, he calculated on his fingers that if he saved 132,000 yuan a year, it would only take a few years to build a two-story house in the countryside worth more than 200,000 yuan and a 3 Series BMW car worth more than 300,000 yuan.
The future is bright.
If there are no major changes, it will not be difficult for Li Xiaomin's family to become a middle-class family. Although Li Shu is very rich, he also knows that it is very difficult for low-income families to become a middle-class family.
"Pfft~"
Ruan Mei laughed, let Li Xiaomin sit on the chair, and said with a smile: "A portion of Spanish mackerel costs 20 yuan, and a portion of hairtail costs 25 yuan. The boss is simply a wicked maggot~
We won’t fall for that trick. We’ll take another day off. Then we’ll go to the vegetable market to buy live fish. It’s much cheaper. I’ll cook it for you then!
We don't need to worry about others, just live our own lives well, eat whatever they like, and don't compare with them. "
Li Xiaomin's face improved a lot and he smiled and said: "Okay!"
Li Shu's face turned slightly dark. Who are you calling "maggots with a black heart"
Ruan Mei ate half of her big chicken leg, then put the remaining half of the braised chicken drumstick on Li Xiaomin's plate and said in a unclear voice: "Husband, you can eat it, I can't eat it."
Li Xiaomin was not polite. Counting his own big chicken drumstick, he could eat one and a half drumsticks.
He said: "I want to eat pork, but I am tired of eating chicken every day. Stir-fried dishes are chicken, stews are chicken, and chicken legs are still chicken.
But if you catch the chicken, it's cheap. It's all nonsense to talk about taking care of religious employees. If you catch the chicken, it's cheap. Just split your cheeks and eat it. "
Li Xiaomin put a few prawns from his own plate onto Ruan Mei's plate.
Ruan Mei laughed out loud instantly, her eyes curved into crescent moons, and a healthy and bright look emerged.
The male employees at the next table stared blankly, and instantly felt that the pork ribs in their hands no longer tasted good. Although they earned more, they were still single.
Li Shu smiled and said: "What do you eat in the morning and evening? Do you still eat chicken?"
Li Shu is still satisfied with the free working meals for his employees. He feels that they are better than what he ate when he was in college, and much better than many takeaways.
Although the vegetables are the cheapest, the meat is also the cheapest: chicken.
Li Shu also knows that chicken is far cheaper than pork, and mutton and beef are even more ridiculously expensive.
But there are still a few prawns. Although the prawns are a bit small, maybe about 11 centimeters, it’s okay for a free meal that doesn’t cost a penny to have this standard.
Of course, Li Shu knew that although employee meals were free, the canteen actually made money, and the money came from the dishes that cost money.
The cafeteria can make money, which is beyond Chairman Li Shaba's expectation, but he is also happy with it. Employees "voluntarily" return part of their wages to the company, which is a good thing.
Li Xiaomin shook his head: "The free dishes here are vegetarian dishes in the morning and evening, no meat dishes.
They are all fried cabbage, fried carrots, fried potatoes, etc., as well as rice, noodles, sesame seed cakes, steamed buns, steamed buns, etc., as well as some porridge and soup. "
Li Shu nodded.
Ruan Mei finished the meal and was eating the half piece of apple, and then said: "But there are quail eggs... No, they are eggs. Each person has two eggs in the morning, one tea egg and one white egg, and two eggs in the evening."
The corners of Li Shu's mouth twitched.
How small an egg is for someone to mistake it for a quail egg
But he thought about it, each person had 4 eggs a day, and chicken legs and chicken for lunch. He didn't have to worry about malnutrition, but he was worried about overnutrition.
