[Complete the mission "Chef Xu and his daughters are dissatisfied with each other" and successfully check in with Chef Xu and Xu Caiying. You will be rewarded with a Shandong Cuisine Cooking Weekly Learning Card and ten kilograms of red dates.]
The mission reward is good, and red dates are a rare commodity in this era.
Chef Xu asked everyone in the kitchen to listen to Song Jiayu. No one dared to disobey and continued to work. When it was almost done, Song Jiayu stewed the pork and vermicelli first, and also cooked the egg, seaweed and shrimp soup and kept it warm over low heat. No one needed to watch while the rice was cooking. The most labor-intensive part was making the steamed buns.
It was almost time to open, and there were quite a few people at the door of the state-owned hotel. Aunt Pang and Sister Fen arranged the tables and chairs in the lobby, cleaned it, opened the door, and rang the doorbell. The state-owned hotel was open today.
"Auntie Pang, what did you cook today? I smell it, it's so delicious." A customer who often comes to the restaurant asked familiarly.
"Pork stewed with vermicelli, prepared by our Chef Xiao Song himself, tastes very good." Aunt Pang also responded.
"Give me one, then."
There were many people who ordered meat dishes like this customer. Sister Fen collected the money and tickets, and then went to the kitchen to pass out the orders. Little Liu Dafeng took the order skillfully, picked up the plate and served the dishes, rice and steamed buns.
Song Jiayu became another Chef Xu. She could drink tea with an enamel cup in her hand. However, she had a task to do today, so she told Auntie Pang, "I'll stand by the window today."
"Okay, I can still rest." Aunt Pang walked into the kitchen with a smile.
Song Jiayu took the food from Xiao Liu and read out his name: "Comrade Zhao Ming, your food is ready. Come and get it."
"Here I come, here I come."
The young man came over and saw Song Jiayu. "You must be Chef Song, right? Your dishes are really delicious. I didn't expect you to be pretty too."
Because she couldn't see any dirty thoughts in Comrade Zhao Ming's eyes, and his clear gaze only showed appreciation for beauty, Song Jiayu was willing to respond: "Thank you for the compliment."
Zhao Cheng returned to his seat with the food, where a young female comrade was waiting for him. The two met through someone's introduction the day before yesterday, and today Zhao Ming invited her out for dinner.
"Ruan Ruan, pork stewed with vermicelli, stir-fried potato slices with green peppers, and a bowl of soup. I also bought steamed buns and rice. Take whatever you want. Don't be polite with me."
This is the best Zhao Ming could do.
Lin Ruan, who was sitting opposite, looked at the food on the table. She really wanted to eat meat, but she always felt that Zhao Ming was showing off. "It's just a few slices of meat and potato chips. It's not worth introducing them one by one. You thought others couldn't afford it."
"No, Ruan Ruan, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that." Zhao Ming's clear big eyes showed anxiety.
Song Jiayu, who had just had time to rest after serving food to another guest, never took her eyes off Zhao Ming's table.
Today there was another task: two men compete for one woman. She observed the ten tables of guests and found that only Comrade Zhao Ming's table looked like the right one.
The other tables were either shared by strangers or families. There was another gay couple who, judging by the way they addressed each other, were already married and fed up with each other. They had a very good relationship and the probability of cheating was very low.
The atmosphere between Comrade Zhao Ming and another female comrade was not good. No matter what Comrade Zhao Ming said, the other female comrade would reply coldly with only one word.
I don’t know how the other one in the fight between two men for one woman will appear.
I was daydreaming in my mind that as soon as I mentioned Cao Cao, he would appear.
A group of three or four young men entered the state-owned restaurant. They spoke loudly, behaved rudely, and seemed to be very noisy.
"I really have to thank Brother Xie today, otherwise we wouldn't be able to taste the food at the state-owned restaurant!"
"That's right, that's right."
"Wait a minute, isn't that our sister-in-law? Why is she eating out with another man?"
As someone spotted Zhao Ming's table, their brother Xie naturally noticed her too. He snorted coldly, "She's no longer your sister-in-law. Her family wants her to marry someone from the city. How can she be with a country boy like us?"
This group of people, led by Brother Xie, all came from the Redwood Commune, which is closest to Songshan County. It only takes 20 minutes to walk there. They feel that they are no worse than the people in the county, and the group retorted.
"What's wrong with our commune?"
"That's right, the county still relies on the grain from our commune!"
"Without us lackeys, they wouldn't even have enough to eat."
They spoke very loudly and deliberately did not lower their voices.
The entire dining hall was so small that Lin Ruan naturally heard it. She looked over with her watery eyes and the figure she had been thinking about day and night appeared before her. Tears welled up in her eyes and she silently said, "Thank you, brother."
Zhao Ming didn't know that group of people, and he didn't want to get involved with a group of people who looked difficult to deal with, so he quickly said to Lin Ruan, "Let's eat. Female comrades, please be careful when you're out there and don't mess with a group of people like that."
"What do you mean?" Lin Ruan pointed at Zhao Ming in disbelief.
That’s Brother Xie!
How could Brother Xie bully her!
If Brother Xie bullies her, she will accept it!
She immediately scolded Zhao Ming: "I didn't expect you to be such a person. My mother is really blind. She speaks ill of others behind their backs. Even if you
So what if I have a job in the county? It’s nothing compared to my brother Xie.”
Zhao Ming looked innocent. What bad things did he say?
The group that heard Lin Ruan's words, led by Brother Xie, walked over to Zhao Ming's table, slammed the table, and said angrily, "Hey! What bad things are you saying about us behind our backs?"
Zhao Ming hurriedly shook his head: "I didn't say anything bad, I just told this female comrade to be careful outside."
Lin Ruan hooked her arm around Brother Xie's at this time, very intimately, and said: "I have Brother Xie here, what safety do I need to pay attention to?"
Brother Xie pulled his arm away and looked at Lin Ruan with disgust in his eyes. "Haha, Lin Ruan, your parents pointed at me and said that a toad wants to eat swan meat. You'd better not have anything to do with me. I don't want to be pointed at and scolded again."
Lin Ruan coaxed him humbly: "Brother Xie, I can swear that I didn't know my parents had come to you. If I knew they said such vicious things to you, I would have quarreled with them a long time ago. I only like you."
Brother Xie raised his chin, showing his face at a 45-degree angle. With a gesture that he thought was very domineering but was actually very greasy, he put his arm around Lin Ruan's shoulders and blew a puff at her like a gangster. "Xiao Ruan, you come and tell him what our relationship is."
Lin Ruan also raised her head proudly and said in a sweet voice: "Brother Xie and I are childhood sweethearts. We have been dating for two years."
Everything happened too fast.
Before Zhao Ming could figure out what was going on, he asked, "Your mom said you don't have a partner?"
Lin Ruan rolled her eyes: "My mother is my mother, I am me, I will not agree with what my mother says."
