According to the structure of the army, the institute has an economic democratic committee, or economic committee for short, which supervises the economic work of the institute, and to put it bluntly, supervises my work.

Because there is no other expenditure in the office, the focus of supervision is on food.

I made a statistical tabulation of the food expenses for the first month after I took over in accordance with the format prescribed by my superiors, and two representatives of the Economic Commission checked the list of accounts and signed and published them.

The overall result was a slight overspending.

The members of the Economic Committee, all veterans, had a meeting and then conveyed to me through Qian Fagen a few meanings:

One is that I ate worse this month than before, and I used to have a slight surplus, but I overspent this month.

The second is the repetition of the pattern of the dish every day, mainly cabbage, old cloth, cauliflower and celery, to increase the variety of vegetables, everyone wants to eat braised pork, can there be braised pork the next day.

The third is that three meals a day are rice, can breakfast be changed to bread porridge?

Fourth, can you make meat satiety once a week on Saturday night to improve the food.

On the other hand, he said that it is not a problem, and he hopes to buy some chili peppers every day to adjust the taste for people who like spicy food.

I said yes.

At that time, I sat alone in the plastic chair in the office, thinking for a long time, feeling a lot of pressure in my heart, and quite aggrieved, working hard, and everyone still had so many opinions.

On the issue of overspending, because the account announced the content of December 81, mainly handled by Qian Fagen, I think the reason may be that three veterans have just been discharged, our recruits have not arrived, and it is difficult to control the standard of buying groceries after the reduction of personnel, and the withdrawal of people in the countryside feels a little too much, I think this should be a short-term problem, and it will be better after our 5 recruits join. Others shouldn't be difficult.

The matter of making steamed buns has to be discussed with the cook Zhang Guoxing.

I found Zhang Guoxing and told him everyone's opinions. As soon as he heard me, he immediately became angry.

"I'm quitting, let someone else burn it!"

While speaking, he also slashed the knife he was cutting vegetables the cutting board, and turned around and entered the bedroom on the side.

I saw that he had already cooked two dishes, only the Chinese cabbage was not burned, the oil had risen in the pot, and the meat slices were already slightly yellow, so I picked up the kitchen knife and cut the remaining vegetables, and put them in the pot to cook.

During the meal, Zhang Guoxing said in front of everyone: "I can't make steamed buns, ask others to cook!" ”

After the meal, Director Xu and Qian Fagen chatted for a long time in Zhang Guoxing's bedroom, and when they were done, they called me over and told me two things:

One is that I listen to Zhang Guoxing's opinion more when I go grocery shopping.

The second is to buy bread at the Qiancang bakery first, and at the same time, I will contact them to teach them how to make bread.

In the end, Zhang Guoxing said to me, "Explain to me how to match the dishes you bought, and I will cook them as you say!" ”

I feel a little angry.
