Speaking of the origins of Zhou Xiong and Master Yuan?

Both of them are disciples of the same master. Master Yuan is more powerful, but Zhou Xiong is more of a human being.

The final person to inherit the mantle was Zhou Xiong.

As his reputation spread, Zhou Xiong became a master chef in a state-owned hotel, while Master Yuan could only work in a hospital cafeteria.

What's the difference?

When talking about state-owned hotels, contemporary members think of the chefs’ cooking skills. When talking about hospital cafeterias, members think of the hospital first, and then the cafeteria.

The two have different meanings.

Working in a state-owned hotel is an official stamp of approval for the chef’s culinary skills.

Zhou Xiong was jealous of this senior brother, and how could this senior brother not despise Zhou Xiong's behavior?

If Master Yuan was willing to recruit Zhou Jun, wouldn't it be because Zhou Xiong and Zhou Jun had gotten to this point?

How can Master Yuan accept any child who wants to cause trouble?

Qiao Yu's words were not only weird, but also stimulating enough to make Zhou Xiong change his expression on the spot, and he had no place to vent his anger.

Mrs. Zhou hid her hand under the table and held Zhou Xiong down before she raised her glass with Qiao Yu and said, "I wish Jun's son a bright future."

Qiao Yu responded, "Mrs. Zhou is still open-minded and speaks frankly and straightforwardly!"

Zhou Xiong: …

After Qiao Yu left, Zhou Xiong complained to his wife, "This Qiao Yu is really hard to deal with. Why did she get involved with old man Yuan?"

"It's all your own fault. Now look what happened. Not only did you lose your wife, but you also lost your army." If it wasn't such a coincidence, she would have suspected that the couple had become a stepping stone.

…

After Qiao Yu had settled the matter, he heard that Wu Guoping would not only have to pay compensation but also be labeled a bad element and demoted to a lower position. He ate two extra bowls of rice at noon!

You bastard, you deserve it!

A few days later, after seeing that Zhou Jun's condition had really stabilized, Qiao Yu rode his newly bought bicycle and took him back to the newly bought yard.

Looking at the extra food and three big items in the kitchen, Zhou Jun was shocked.

Qiao Yu said, "This food is the food coupons I got unexpectedly recently. They have an expiration date and are not national food coupons, so I converted them into food and stored them for you. Please eat as much as you want."

The three major items are Wu Guoping’s compensation, so you can keep them.

You don't need to be a grandson of Master Yuan anymore. Just learn as much cooking skills as you can. Once you become a master, we can see where to work. We are all descendants of the imperial kitchen, so we have the real stuff! You better be smart and seize the opportunity!"

"Yeah, okay."

Zhou Jun's arm still needs some time to heal, so Qiao Yu cooks for him here and takes him for walks so that he can get familiar with the neighborhood. This way, he can call on others and get help if something happens.

Seeing how talkative Qiao Yu was, the neighbors became familiar with him in just two or three days.

Just when they were about to argue further, Lao Zhou took time out to come over.

Lao Zhou came at night and was picked up by a special car.

The temperature started to drop, and Qiao Yu had to put on his coat when he went to open the gate.

"Here they come! Who is it?"

The moment he saw Lao Zhou, his expression was confused and he was still dazed.

"What's inside?"

Qiao Yu quickly took him and the driver to the yard.

"Have you eaten yet? Do you want me to give you some noodles so we can eat and talk?"

Zhou Ze'an wanted to refuse, but after looking at the driver's tired expression, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you."

Qiao Yu refused: "It's just some noodles, it won't taste bad."

Pour oil into the pan and fry four eggs before starting to pour water. When the water boils, add the noodles.

Two Haikou bowls were each scooped with a spoonful of lard, a few drops of vinegar, and a sprinkle of salt.

While cooking, Qiao Yu chatted with him: "Are you leaving soon?"

"Yes. We have almost finished dealing with Linshi. We need to go back to deal with the troops and the city."

"Oh...did the organization say they would take back the money I stole from them?"

"Keep it for yourself."

Qiao Yu was somewhat happy, "Okay."

She also picked some fresh vegetables grown by Zhou Jun in the yard and boiled some noodles for soup.

The noodles were cooked quickly and the driver squatted in the yard to eat. Qiao Yu and Zhou Ze'an closed the door of the main room and chatted while eating.

"I came here to ask you for the secret recipes of those disguise items."

Qiao Yu understood and nodded, "Okay, I'll write it for you now."

She had forgotten about this long ago and could only write it now.

However, I still have to save my memory.

Qiao Yu: "If I write it in advance, I don't know where to hide it, so it's more confidential if I write it now."

Zhou Ze'an nodded in agreement with her words, "That makes sense."

Qiao Yu was able to do two things at once. While writing the secret recipe, he also inquired about the enemy's lair and what was going on.

"It was like a hub, gathering all the migrant workers from all over the country and redistributing their work. The people in the production team...

The reason why the Shunfeng Brigade is located in a remote area is that they were bandits before the founding of the People's Republic of China. After that, they turned over a new leaf and obeyed the organization's arrangements on the surface, but privately... A defeated Japanese soldier sneaked into them and used money as a lure to attract them to do things.

The more you pull at it, the more you become like a grasshopper on a string, unable to break free.

Their internal model is competitive. Whoever develops downlines with higher status and more people will receive more rewards.

It’s a big deal, so I’ll be busy for the rest of the day.”

Qiao Yu finally understood what was going on. Isn't this the same as the pyramid schemes of later generations? They gather assets and use rewards and punishments to continuously develop downlines.

Especially those who are in high positions and have great power, once they fall into the trap, they have to cover their mouths with money? This nest is even more not short of money.

When I think about it this way, the Shunfeng team is richer than I thought.

It’s a pity that I couldn’t recruit more families.

When Qiao Yu finished writing, Zhou Ze'an had almost finished eating.

While he was washing the dishes, Qiao Yu blew the ink dry on the paper.

She waited for the other party to come back before folding it and stuffing it into an envelope.

The moment he passed by, he met the man's deep black eyes. Not knowing what he was thinking about, Qiao Yu's heart tightened.

Qiao Yu, who has been heartless for many years and has not fully integrated into this era, seems to have found a sense of belonging at this moment.

Every blade of grass and every tree here, the children, Lao Zhou, Grandpa, and the elder and second brothers are all real and have flesh and blood...

"Can I touch you?"

"Where to touch?"

"Face."

Zhou Ze'an bent down, and Qiao Yu reached out and slowly caressed it.

The stubble on his face was a bit prickly and he looked a little tired, but his eyes were bright and energetic.

After a moment, Qiao Yu withdrew his hand and said, "All is well."

"Um……"

"The children and I will be waiting for you at home."

Hearing this, Zhou Ze'an smiled and said, "Okay."

Every time the mission came suddenly, he had no time to say goodbye. This time, hearing that her mood was obviously different from before, his heart, which had been held tight for years, began to beat wildly.

"wait for me."

"Um."

…

After Lao Zhou left, Qiao Yu took care of the soldier's child until his injuries recovered and he was able to take care of himself. He gave him some money and told him to take care of himself before taking the train back to the university town.

Seeing her finally come back, the counselor couldn't help but sigh: "You took too long a leave this time. I'm afraid it's impossible to graduate early... Well, I'll fight for it for you. Qiao Yu, don't be so impulsive next time."

"Um."

The counselor wanted to persuade her that being a stepmother was enough and she should not ruin her future because of her stepchildren. However, seeing that she did not care at all, she gave up the idea.

He waved goodbye to Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu rushed to the island.

The troops are in chaos now. Schools have been suspended. Going in and out of the island is strictly prohibited. Even the post office is closed.

She got the news because Lao Zhou sent her a telegram asking her to go to the island to pick up her child.
