The Empress Dowager, doted on by her father and mother, suddenly transmigrated to the 1970s.
Confused, she was tricked by her unscrupulous elder sister and younger brother into becoming a sen...
Old Li, who was in his forties, immediately greeted Bai Ruozhen enthusiastically when he heard that Xu Fugui's niece was coming. "Welcome, welcome."
Several other chefs came over to say hello, but they all thought that such a pretty girl obviously had never worked before. What could a girl like this do in their cafeteria? She couldn't just stand there and look good, right?
But since they are the people brought by Director Xu, let them look good as they are.
After looking at each other, several chefs almost agreed with this idea.
Xu Fugui praised the canteen a few more times and then left. As soon as he left, Old Li asked Bai Ruozhen, "What can you do?"
Bai Ruozhen said, "Cook."
Old Li burst out laughing, "What can you cook?"
"Our Zhenzhen can cook anything." Before Bai Ruozhen could answer, Gu Xiaoli started praising Bai Ruozhen, "No matter what dish she makes, it tastes delicious."
Old Li glanced at her and asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm a student." Gu Xiaoli said, sticking out her tongue.
Bai Ruozhen said with a smile, "Master Li, don't mind. I'll let her go right away." Then he pulled Gu Xiaoli out and said, "You should go eat and go to class. I'm fine here. With Uncle Xu's instructions, no one dares to bully me."
Gu Xiaoli wasn't worried about that. "Well, I'll be leaving then. I'll come see you at noon."
"Okay." Bai Ruozhen waved to her and went in, only to see Old Li still standing there sighing.
"Master Li, what should I do now?" Bai Ruozhen asked very actively.
Old Li looked at her thin arms and legs, curled his lips and said, "Just watch how they get their food."
Bai Ruozhen nodded obediently and stood behind the window to watch others get their meals.
After a while, the students who were getting their meals discovered that there was a very pretty girl standing at a window, and within a minute, a long line formed at that window.
Sun Fang, who was getting her lunch, saw the line getting longer. The students who finished their lunch had to look at the person standing behind her before leaving. This made Sun Fang furious. She turned around and said to Bai Ruozhen, "Can you please stop standing here?"
"Ah?" Bai Ruozhen didn't understand why he was being scolded, so he let out an "oh" and went to the window next to him.
Then the students queuing on Sun Fang's side all ran to the windows next to them, leaving only a few female students who were not tempted by women standing there and looking at Bai Ruozhen with hatred.
Bai Ruozhen was completely oblivious, staring intently at the chef's large spoon. She knew she was a slow learner except for cooking, so she didn't care about cooking, as she considered it a skill.
The waitress was a chubby old lady who seemed unhappy to see so many people coming. But when she turned around and saw Bai Ruozhen, her eyes lit up and she was immediately delighted. "Oh, what a pretty girl!" Then she saw that most of the people in the queue were male students and she immediately scolded her, "What are you looking at? If you want to look, go home and see your mother."
Bai Ruozhen looked at the tough old lady with sparkling eyes, and found it quite interesting to see her scolding students while serving food.
However, the fat aunt did not chase her away like Sun Fang did. Instead, she took advantage of the opportunity to talk to Bai Ruozhen. When she found out that she was a girl who went to the countryside, she sighed and said, "Alas, my daughter also went to the countryside, to Dezhou. I don't know if she is doing well."
Bai Ruozhen was deeply touched, but still said, "Our Lu Province is definitely not bad."
Aunt Pang smiled and said, "I hope so." Although she had a good job in the cafeteria, she had many children at home, so she had to let her daughter go to the countryside. Her daughter was about the same age as Bai Ruozhen, and when she looked at her, she thought of her own daughter.
After the meal was served, Auntie Pang carried the basin to the kitchen to wash it. Seeing Bai Ruozhen still following her, she laughed and asked, "You want to learn how to wash the basin too?"
"Yes, I learned it." Bai Ruozhen nodded seriously. She had never washed such a big basin before. What if she couldn't clean it clean?
The fat aunt liked her very much. While washing the basin, she asked her, "So, you are an educated youth. Why did you come here? Aren't educated youths all farming in the countryside?"
Bai Ruozhen said embarrassedly, "My fiancé's uncle is the school's logistics director."
"Xu Fugui?" The fat lady was stunned for a moment. "This person has a strong backing."
After washing the basin, Auntie Pang took Bai Ruozhen over there and asked Old Li, "Let Xiaobai get the meal?"
Old Li waved his hand and said, "Let's learn first."
Aunt Pang curled her lips and said, what's so good about learning how to serve food?
A new person came to the kitchen, and soon everyone knew that Bai Ruozhen was sent in by the director of the logistics department, Xu Fugui. He was good-looking, fair-skinned, and didn't look like a laborer. In fact, many people in the kitchen were relatives, but Bai Ruozhen's backer was a little more powerful, so other people treated him well.
But when the work was arranged, she was obviously left out. So Bai Ruozhen didn't do any work from morning until lunch. As soon as lunch was over, Gu Xiaoli came to find her. Bai Ruozhen was very distressed, "Xiaoli, I didn't do anything this morning."
Gu Xiaoli was overjoyed when she heard this. "I didn't do anything? So good? Oh, it seems I came to the right job."
"Ah?" Bai Ruozhen was a little confused. "Maybe they think I'm related to someone and are embarrassed to assign me a job." Although it's good not to have to work, she was afraid that people would gossip about her if she stayed there for a long time.
Gu Xiaoli waved her hands and said, "Never mind. It's good that I don't have to work." Working in the cafeteria is so hard. The water for washing vegetables is cold and the fire is dirty. Cooking is all done by the chef, which is beyond the reach of apprentices. It's best to be able to do nothing and still get paid!
Seeing that she was still a little worried, Gu Xiaoli comforted her, "Anyway, after you and Fifth Brother get married, Fifth Brother doesn't plan to let you work. Working is so tiring, so let me support you."
Bai Ruozhen felt sweet in her heart when she mentioned Gu Changqing, but she felt that she still had to make money, and it would be nice to earn some pocket money for herself.
Bai Ruozhen was idle again in the afternoon. At dinner time, Bai Ruozhen said to Lao Li, "Master Li, why don't you assign me some work?"
Old Li glanced at her and said, "Go get some food." He then gave her a large spoon and a large vegetable bowl and said, "Just sell this bowl."
Bai Ruozhen looked at the huge basin and then at his own thin arms and legs, feeling a little nervous.
It's so fucking scary.
I can't move it.
