his culinary skills were mediocre, so every time there was a leadership banquet, he would be specially kept behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Deputy Factory Manager Li had instructed him that if there were any leftovers from the banquets, he could pack them up and take them away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The propaganda slogan was there: waste is a very shameful act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And packing up these leftovers didn't count as taking public property.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Sha Zhu had his own ideas about this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was too lazy to look at the leftovers; every time the food came out of the pot, he would pack it up directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would keep two containers in the back kitchen, and every time the food was cooked, he would fill his own portion to the brim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One container was used to hold the hot food just out of the pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the other could hold a few white flour buns or other things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had become an unspoken secret within the cafeteria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one dared to gossip about such things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Sha Zhu was a scoundrel; who would go out of their way to provoke him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And most of the food Sha Zhu packed home was swiped by Qin Qin Huairu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even his own younger sister, He Yushui,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>only occasionally got to eat these good things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was why, even though the Jia family relied solely on Qin Qin Huairu, with a monthly salary of less than twenty-eight yuan,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Jia Zhangshi, Jia Jia Dongxu, and his grandson could all look well-fed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Jia Jia Dongxu, who was already a cripple, showed signs of slowly gaining weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Qin Qin Huairu and her two daughters, due to long-term malnutrition, looked quite thin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Ma, you are responsible for stir-frying today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just follow what I usually say, and prepare the seasonings first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the kitchen area of the Second Cafeteria, Sha Zhu sat on a chair, holding a cup of hot tea, crossing his legs, and giving orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The work here had originally been his responsibility alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because of what happened yesterday, he was in excruciating pain all over today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he was too lazy to move and handed everything over to his apprentice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sha Zhu, what are you doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xu Damao walked into the back kitchen area boldly and, seeing Sha Zhu still sitting on the chair, asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s the matter, is your skin itching for a beating again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Sha Zhu saw Xu Xu Damao, his temper flared up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It hurts like hell!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Sha Zhu tried to stand up, a sharp pain shot through his entire body, and he could only slowly sit back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the other party had completely lost his usual arrogant air, Xu Xu Damao felt incredibly refreshed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you still want to throw a punch? Huh!
