Chapter 38: Someone come! Someone here is dying!

In the front hall, as soon as it was time to get off work, Wen Jieling and Liu Yifan put down their work without saying a word and ran to eat, both looked disappointed.

The fried crab sticks at noon were so delicious that they started thinking about them before dinner time. Zhou Yicheng, who worked with them, wanted to go back to get something and asked them to wait, but they refused.

The two stood in front of the food counter, staring at the dishes being brought out of the window. They became more disappointed with each dish that came out. Until all eight dishes and one soup were served, the two could no longer hold back.

"Ahh, there are no more fried crab sticks! If I can't eat fried crab sticks, something about me, such as my looks, my figure, my social etiquette, my good morals, my good character, and even my soul will be ruined!" Wen Jie Ling started muttering like crazy when he saw that there were no fried crab sticks.

Liu Yifan was about to break into pieces, but after hearing what Wen Jie Ling said, he suddenly moved one meter away from him.

"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!" Liu Yifan gestured to drive away his brothers who were possessed by something unknown.

Manager Li and Secretary Fan, who were also waiting for their meal next to the two of them, had their mouths twitching wildly.

"I want those two fried ones and a grilled fish fillet."

"I want the same thing as the manager."

Manager Li ordered the food first, and Secretary Fan copied the order directly. The two of them took the dishes and left quickly. They were afraid that if they stayed too long, they would laugh out loud and the workers would go even crazier.

"It's the same for me. It doesn't matter what I eat. What difference does it make when it enters my mouth? We are all living the same life." Wen Jie Ling ordered dishes with a sad look on his face.

The aunt serving food at the window was startled when she heard this and quickly served him a full plate of food.

Life on the construction site is just too hard! Look how much this tortures the child! Give him more food, life isn't easy!

Liu Yifan covered his face and randomly selected fried oyster mushrooms, flavored eggplant and pork belly with onions. He also selected fish fillets, roast duck with radish and flavored eggplant for Zhou Yicheng, who was asked to help bring the meal. Then he hurried away, deliberately staying away from Wen Jieling.

This is so embarrassing! Who is this? Is it the ghost of Xiaoqian who died in hatred because she couldn't eat the fried crab sticks?

He doesn't know him!

"Young workers are still lively! It's so lively in the cafeteria. It seems that eating early has its own fun." Manager Li smiled all the way and walked to the leftmost corner of the cafeteria with Secretary Fan and sat down.

"It didn't seem to be like this before. Maybe it's the fried crab sticks that tempted me." Secretary Fan always came on time before, and everyone ate and got their meals as usual. The food tasted normal too, so there weren't so many unexpected things happening.

"Haha, this Xiao Zhao is great, he brought a new look to the cafeteria on the first day.

"Hmm~ This chicken cutlet is well made! It's not half-baked!" Manager Li took a bite of the chicken cutlet and praised it immediately.

The chicken cutlet is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, dry and fragrant, but it does not have the completely dry and astringent feeling of semi-finished products. Instead, it is very tender, as if the oil temperature is controlled to an extreme critical point. The dipping sauce sprinkled on the outside complements the chicken cutlet, and the fragrance is so unique.

"This fried oyster mushroom is so fragrant and juicy. I wouldn't trade it for meat!" Manager Li took another bite of the fried oyster mushroom and was amazed again.

"It's so delicious! Manager, it's worth inviting Master Zhao this time!" Secretary Fan suddenly felt the happiness of following the leader. If it weren't for Manager Wen, who would have thought that such a craftsman could emerge in a small place like Yangcheng.

The fried oyster mushrooms are crispy and fragrant. The fresh and tender flavor of the mushrooms immediately lingers on your tongue, and the chewiness is textured and chewy! The skin is also well-seasoned, not too salty or bland, and slightly spicy, which is a magical tool to enhance the umami flavor!

Secretary Fan was eating with great joy, his expression becoming exaggerated.

The two of them arrived early and ate leisurely while chatting. Only then did a large number of workers enter the cafeteria hall.

In the hall, Wen Jie Ling, who had already finished his meal, walked slowly to the table in the middle of the cafeteria and sat down quietly.

Liu Yifan carried two plates of food and deliberately sat two seats away from him before he dared to sit down. After sitting down, he picked up the chopsticks and casually took two bites of eggplant while constantly turning his head to look at Wen Jieling, who was emitting resentment.

Wen Jie Ling mechanically picked up the food on the plate and put it into her mouth. After picking up two chopsticks of rice, she picked up a piece of fried oyster mushroom. After chewing it for a few times, her expression suddenly changed and she danced excitedly towards Liu Yifan.

Liu Yifan was startled. He put down his chopsticks and ran over quickly, beating Wen Jieling's back frantically.

"Vomi! Vomit quickly!"

Wen Jie Ling was hit hard on the back unexpectedly, and he coughed so hard that he felt like his lungs were about to be coughed out.

"What's going on? What happened?"

When the workers around saw what was happening, they quickly ran over to ask.

"He's choked! He can't hold it anymore! Help him!" Liu Yifan was so anxious that he broke out in sweat.

The workers around were in a panic and started shouting, "Hurry up and help! Come quickly!"

"Someone come and help, someone is dying here!"

More people gathered, but they were all worried and helpless, so the makeshift team began to work in a chaotic manner. Some people grabbed Wen Jieling's hands and pinched his acupuncture points, some lifted Wen Jieling's face and pinched his philtrum, and some even started shouting for artificial respiration.

"Pinch his mouth!" Seeing that Wen Jie Ling didn't vomit, Liu Yifan anxiously asked someone to pinch Wen Jie Ling's mouth and reached out to poke Wen Jie Ling's throat.

Wen Jie Ling finally recovered from his violent coughing, and used his hands and feet to break free from several hands that were pinching his acupoints, then grabbed Liu Yifan's finger that was about to put into his mouth.

"Don't worry, Jie Wa! I'll get it out for you right away!" Liu Yifan shouted.

Wen Jie Ling finally freed his other hand and pushed away the hand that was pinching his mouth.

"What are you doing?!" Wen Jie Ling's eyes were filled with tears because it hurt so much.

"It's connected? You can speak now?" Liu Yifan was very happy to see that the workers were friendly.

"What do you mean it's working or not? I'm not choking!" Wen Jie Ling shouted angrily.

"You didn't choke? What did you just yell, Old Liu?"

"Didn't someone just shout that someone here is dying?"

The workers in the crowd looked confused.

"You weren't choking. What happened to you just now? What were you gesturing to me?" Liu Yifan's old face turned red when he was asked, so he had to turn around and ask Wen Jie Ling.

"I'm just telling you that fried oyster mushrooms are delicious! Even better than the crab sticks we had at noon!" Wen Jie Ling rubbed his cheeks that were pinched and hurt, feeling very angry.

"You, you, why are you so excited? I thought you were about to choke." Liu Yifan scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

The crowd burst into laughter.

"You said fried oyster mushrooms are better than the fried crab sticks we had at noon?" A worker immediately reacted and asked excitedly.

"Yeah, I don't know how it's made, but it tastes so good the first time I take a bite I'm lost..."

The workers who were gathered in a circle suddenly scattered like birds and beasts, and lined up in a row with enthusiasm.
