The next day, early in the morning, a large group of people gathered around a few pots of food for breakfast. Few were interested in the meat and fish, but a pot of cold shredded radish was emptied in the blink of an eye. Luo Dahe, the newcomer, was the only one earnestly digging into the meat and fish.

Basically, every new worker at the factory went through this phase. They had only heard that life in the factory was good, but only after joining did they understand just how good it was. The people would joke that this way of eating was to test who was not working hard enough—those who managed to maintain their weight were considered hard workers, and anyone who gained weight was definitely slacking off. Once someone became a big fat person, they could be fired.
