Mrs. Xu's eyes turned red as she carried the things. She knew in her heart that her mother was protecting her and was afraid that she would be bullied in her husband's house, so she carried the things to save her face.

"Thank you, Mom."

When Zhao's mother heard this, her heart ached: "Why are you thanking me? You're being so polite to your mother.

Okay, let’s go back quickly, otherwise you won’t be able to see the road clearly when it’s too late.”

Mrs. Xu nodded, said goodbye to her mother, and rode her bike back.

Xu Ying reported for work on the first day and got up early: "Mom, I won't have breakfast. I'm going to work first."

After saying that, she pushed her bicycle and pedaled away.

Mother Xu came out of the house and saw her daughter's back and said angrily: "I told her to finish her work and go to bed early. She got up early this morning and I don't know what she did last night!

If you don't even have breakfast now, you'll be really hungry!"

Mrs. Xu came out of the kitchen with a smile: "Mom, little sister, how can you miss a meal when you go to work in a restaurant? Even if you don't eat at home, you can still have food there."

Xu's mother's worries were alleviated a little. It was true that a cook couldn't let her own food go unappreciated.

Xu Ying rode her bike to the entrance of the restaurant. Several waiters in the restaurant were sticking their heads out looking early in the morning.

They had heard that Xu Ying was coming today, and heard that she relied on connections, so they prepared to give her a warning early in the morning.

"I'm here, sister-in-law." The woman who was wiping the table with a rag was staring outside with her eyes rolling around. As if she saw someone coming, she shouted to the older woman next to her.

Gao Guihua, like everyone else, wore a white hat and a white apron squeezed in front of her. She had high cheekbones and narrow eyes, and looked difficult to get along with.

His face is expressionless now, and a timid person might be scared.

But Xu Ying was quite courageous. She smiled and greeted everyone, "Hello everyone, my name is Xu Ying. Today is my first day here. We will be colleagues from now on. I hope we can get along well."

Gao Xianghong looked at her sister-in-law and followed her lead.

"Hello, my name is Chen Chunfeng." The person who spoke was the most honest one among the group. She had dark skin and it was obvious that she was someone who was often exposed to the sun.

Another pretty, fair-skinned woman raised her chin and looked at Chen Chunfeng with a look of disdain on her face: "You are useless."

But she still said reluctantly: "My name is Sun Lifang."

Gao Guihua quickly put on a smiling face: "Hey, hello, Comrade Xiao Xu, my name is Gao Guihua, you can just call me Sister Gao like them."

Gao Xianghong saw this and said, "My name is Gao Xianghong."

Xu Ying nodded.

Then Director Hong's voice was heard. He saw Xu Ying's excited face and said, "Xiao Xu, this is your first day at work. Tell me if you have any problems."

After all, he earned a favor from Dr. Gu, so he had to do what he should do, otherwise he would feel guilty.

As soon as these words were spoken, Sun Lifang curled the corners of her mouth. It seemed that Zhang Youquan was right. This was another person who got in through connections.

She had a look of disdain on her face. A little girl actually went to work in the kitchen. Could she lift the pot or the spatula?

Don't be unable to help and cause trouble when the time comes.

Director Hong took Xu Ying to the kitchen. Chef Ge had not arrived yet, but Zhang Youquan had already arrived and started preparing the food in the kitchen.

Seeing the girl following Director Hong, his eyes twinkled and he said with a smile, "Hello, Director Hong, this must be the new comrade Xiao Xu.

Hello, hello, we are colleagues from now on, let’s get along well. ”

Director Hong came and just took advantage of the situation for a while, then said a few words to Xu Ying and turned around and left.

"Colleague Zhang, things are different now. The country now advocates gender equality, and women can hold up half the sky. You are showing your dissatisfaction with the country by saying this." Xu Ying said with a smile.

Since he came in, colleague Zhang's eyes have changed several times. He has so many little thoughts in mind.

Zhang Youquan broke out in a cold sweat after being accused of such a big crime. He quickly said, "Comrade Xiao Xu, you misunderstood me."

He sighed and said, "Well, since Xiao Xu likes working in the kitchen, that's good too."

Xu Ying said immediately: "As long as it is for the country, I like to do anything."

Zhang Youquan nodded, and his eyes changed instantly when he looked at Xu Ying. He thought the newcomer was someone who was easy to bully, but he didn't expect him to be such a tough guy.

Xu Ying looked at him and asked, "What do you need me to do right now?"

Zhang Youquan sneered in his heart. Even if she was a tough guy, she had to listen to his instructions. He pointed to the cabbage and potatoes beside him and said, "Wash these first, clean them up, and peel the potatoes.

Then cut it into shreds, can you do it? If not, you can learn it later!"

Zhang Youquan was very proud when talking about cutting vegetables. He has been working in the restaurant for four years. Although his cooking skills have not improved much, his knife skills have indeed been getting better and better.

Practicing knife skills is not an easy thing. I don’t know if this little girl can stick to it! Xu Ying nodded. How could she not be able to cut vegetables?

On her first day at work, she was very obedient and started washing a pile of vegetables.

Xu Ying worked efficiently. When Chef Ge arrived, she had already washed the cabbages one by one and peeled the potatoes.

Chef Ge entered the kitchen and was stunned for a moment when he saw the little girl sitting next to him. Then he remembered that Director Hong had mentioned that a little girl would come, so he thought it must be this girl.

When Xu Ying saw Chef Ge, she knew that he was the one in charge of the kitchen. She smiled and stood up and called out, "Good morning, Chef Ge."

Chef Ge was a little embarrassed by his enthusiasm, and nodded quickly and said, "Okay."

When Zhang Youquan saw Chef Ge smiling at her, he instantly felt unhappy. He still remembered that when he first came, Chef Ge had a serious face.

Looking at Xu Ying, he said unhappily, "Now that you've washed them, cut up the cabbage and potatoes!"

Xu Ying nodded, took the knife to the chopping board, and cut the cabbage neatly and evenly in size. She cut very quickly.

Zhang Youquan looked directly at it, his jaw dropped, and he exclaimed, "Have you ever learned how to cook?"

Xu Ying nodded: "I learned some at home before."

Zhang Youquan looked as miserable as if he had eaten shit. He thought that this was a newbie who knew nothing and was ready to make her suffer all the same hardships he had suffered.

But I didn't expect that he could cook, and his face turned redder than pig liver.

Chef Ge looked at her with some surprise. Although the girl looked quite old, she was quite good at her job, much better than Zhang Youquan.

Xu Ying placed all the cut vegetables neatly in the vegetable bowl.

She dodged it with a knife.

Unlike Zhang Youquan, who just used one hand to push it, regardless of whether the surroundings were clean or not, as long as he could get in.

"Do you know how to cut shredded potatoes?" Zhang Youquan asked unwillingly.

Xu Ying picked up a piece of shredded potato and brushed it a few times, and the potato was cut into even pieces.

Sun Lifang, who came in to get something, saw this scene and asked in surprise: "Xu Ying, can you cook?"
