Chapter 52 Fellow Villagers Meet



Bai Yueyao was waiting for Jiang Guodong to spit out the rotten scallion leaves, but Jiang Guodong actually swallowed them, and he looked shocked.

Seeing him stammering "this, this, this" for a long time without making any sense, Bai Yueyao picked up a scallion leaf with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth!

The moment it enters your mouth, a familiar yet slightly unfamiliar umami flavor fills your entire oral cavity.

This, this, isn't this exactly the same as the Korean pickled vegetable she ate at the Korean pickle shop before she wore it?

It also has a very distinctive umami flavor, even better than the ones she buys from the pickle shop!

How could this be? This tastes better than the sauce she made! Could it be...?

Could it be that Zhong Wanwan also traveled from another time?

Bai Yueyao felt no surprise at meeting someone from her hometown, as she was the only one who knew the future!

Now they're telling her that time travel happens in batches, and she's one of the worst off.

She became the control group, making the other party seem quite successful.

While her own failure was disheartening, Bai Yueyao was even more distressed by her companion's success!

Although I couldn't calm myself down, I thought about it again and realized that this wasn't something I couldn't use.

Bai Yueyao decided to first acknowledge Zhong Wanwan as her father, and then keep control of her residence and her recipe.

That way, she can share in any good things the other person does!

As for whether or not to continue being friends with her in the future, that depends on whether Zhong Wanwan can continue to be of use to you!

Bai Yueyao leaned closer to Zhong Wanwan and whispered:

"One blink and a day is over, oh dear!"

Zhong Wanwan was startled. If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would have said, "If you close your eyes and never open them again, your life will be over, waah!"

Thinking back carefully, what outrageous thing had he done? How did Bai Yueyao come to suspect that they were from the same hometown?

Zhong Wanwan really couldn't figure it out; she's always been very cautious!

Because of this, her home is still in a state of abject poverty!

Upon seeing the pickled spicy scallion leaves, Zhong Wanwan had a sudden inspiration, but inwardly scoffed.

Does Bai Yueyao really think everyone in this era is a fool?

She may not be able to predict the future, but in other aspects, she's far superior to her! I don't know what gives her that confidence!

The original book really owes a lot to the female lead's halo; otherwise, how could someone with such a brain that treats eagles like sparrows have managed to do so well?

That's not right either. People in this era have much higher moral standards than her. She probably succeeded because she lacked morality!

Why would you claim to be from the same hometown as her? Are you implying that you're living too well?

Zhong Wanwan took a step back with obvious disdain and said:

"What do you mean by 'close your eyes' or 'open your eyes'? Bai Zhiqing, what kind of trouble are you causing now?"

Bai Yueyao was surprised that Zhong Wanwan didn't respond to her, and she said anxiously:

"You don't remember Xiao Shenyang's skit? Could it be that you and I traveled from different time periods?"

"No matter when you traveled through time, we're from the same hometown!"

Zhong Wanwan spat and said:

"Who said we're from the same hometown? I'm from Jincheng, you're from Beijing. We're from two different places. Don't try to smear Jincheng. Jincheng wouldn't produce someone like you!"

Bai Yueyao pointed to the spicy scallion leaves and said:

"You're not from another time, so how do you know how to make pickled spicy scallion leaves? And why is the chili sauce you made the same as the one I bought at the Korean pickled vegetable shop in Baicheng?"

Zhong Wanwan thought to herself, "Sure enough, just because of a piece of pickled vegetable, she felt like she had found a fellow villager!"

Sister-in-law Cuihong couldn't hold back any longer. She didn't know what had gotten into this educated youth Bai now, so she rolled her eyes and said:

"Who told you that was Master Zhong's spicy scallion leaves? Those were clearly made by Master Zhong's younger brother."

“Master Zhong’s family learned how to make authentic Korean chili sauce from the Koreans. It’s the same as the one you bought.”

"Why are you wearing all these different clothes? Bai Zhiqing, are you perhaps suffering from some serious illness?"

Bai Yueyao suddenly realized that at this time, people were relatively isolated from information, but Korean pickled vegetables were not a particularly rare thing, and every Korean could make them!

It turned out that Zhong Wanwan wasn't from her hometown. Bai Yueyao felt a mix of disappointment and secret joy—quite a complex feeling!

However, even if they make the hot sauce and it tastes good, they came up with their own marketing strategy!

Even if she can't be the factory manager, with her unparalleled marketing genius, she should at least be the deputy factory manager!

Bai Yueyao boasted shamelessly:

"Although my kimchi isn't as good as yours, the factory-opening plan I just mentioned was my idea!"

"I don't want any high position, I'll just be the deputy factory director..."

Before Bai Yueyao could finish speaking, Manager Wei shooed her away:

“Jiang, as the person in charge of the educated youth institute, you should play a gatekeeping role in everything you do, instead of just joining in the commotion!”

"Take Bai Zhiqing back immediately. In the future, don't listen to or believe anything that someone with a murky mind says!"

"If this happens again, I think you can forget about being in charge!"

Bai Yueyao wanted to try again, but Jiang Guodong simply pulled her away.

"Just kidding, or he'll be fired," Jiang Guodong apologized as he walked out.

"I'm so sorry, I believed Bai Yueyao's nonsense. I'll definitely keep a close eye on her from now on and make sure this never happens again!"

What else is there to say? I originally thought that the kimchi they made was unique!

As a result, anyone who knows how to make Korean pickled vegetables can make them taste better than them, so what's the point of opening a factory?

This educated youth is really lying through his teeth. A secret recipe that's not to be shared? What a load of rubbish!

If he listens to Bai Zhiqing's lies again, he'll be the biggest fool in the world!

Only after dragging Bai Yueyao out of Director Wei's house did Bai Yueyao shake off Jiang Guodong's hand, and she said angrily:

"If you want to leave, then leave on your own. Why are you pulling me along? We haven't finalized the terms yet!"

Jiang Guodong sneered:

"What conditions are you talking about? With a head the size of a walnut, what conditions could you possibly be talking about?"

"You're still trying to fool me, saying this chili pepper is a secret recipe that every Korean knows? Is that what you call a secret recipe?"

"You want to open a factory? Or a joke factory, for people to laugh at?"

"Stop daydreaming. It's better to clean up your own mess than anything else!"

After saying that, Jiang Guodong ignored Bai Yueyao and turned back to the educated youth compound!
