347
Jian Yu got into the car and slumped into the back seat.
Lu Jiao took out a towel and helped Jian Yu wipe the white frost off his hat.
Looking down, I realized that Jianyu's trouser legs and shoes were wet.
"You went into the water?"
Jian Yu nodded.
To avoid the lone wolf, she had no choice but to go upstream along the stream.
Did you bring me ginger tea and cold medicine?
Lu Jiao first took out a stack of hand warmers from his bag and tossed them to Jian Yu, saying, "Put these on first."
She then took out a packet of cold medicine from her bag and poured it into a bottle of purified water. "Drink some first."
The purified water was kept warm in the car by the heater, and the temperature was just right. For Jian Yu at that moment, it was like a precious nectar.
Jian Yu drank half a bottle, and when he took off his shoes, he realized that his feet were so cold that he couldn't feel them.
Lu Jiao asked with some concern, "How will you go out to sea looking like this?"
Jian Yu, holding a hand warmer, asked, "Have you made all the arrangements?"
Lu Jiao nodded and covered Jian Yu with a small blanket. "We'll head over now and arrive at the dock before dawn. I've already arranged your identity, so no one will check you on the way."
Let's go.
"Wait a moment."
Lu Jiao took out his phone and took a picture of Jian Yu's face.
"The ID I prepared for you has your normal photo. If I had known you would be this dark-skinned, I would have photoshopped it to make you look darker beforehand."
Lu Jiao operated his phone with one hand and handed the food from the passenger seat to Jian Yu with the other, saying, "Have something to eat first. I'll buy you some hot coffee later."
"Let's not waste any more time, let's go!"
Lu Jiao turned the car's heater to the maximum, and gradually, Jian Yu finally felt feeling in her toes again.
With his body warmed up, Jianyu also regained his appetite.
Passing by a service area, Lu Jiao bought more than a dozen cups of hot coffee.
When I got off the bus, I hadn't finished my coffee.
Jian Yu hadn't fully recovered either.
Lu Jiao carried the remaining coffee and helped Jian Yu walk towards the ship on the shore.
A tall man was waiting on the shore. When he saw Lu Jiao, he handed him two documents and said, "They've been corrected."
Lu Jiao casually put his documents into his pocket. "Get on the boat first."
Jian Yu was led into a luxurious room. The man from before took a set of work clothes from the closet and handed them to Jian Yu, saying, "Put these on later. You'll be a worker on the ship from now on."
What are my job responsibilities?
The man glanced at Lu Jiao, and only after confirming that he showed no displeasure did he say, "Kitchen helper."
No wonder there's an apron.
"If you can't cook, you can choose to pick vegetables and wash dishes."
"Washing dishes?"
Lu Jiao glanced at Jian Yu's hands; the skin on them was already somewhat rough. If he continued washing dishes every day, who knew what would happen to them in the future.
The man quickly explained, "I wear waterproof gloves when washing dishes, so it won't hurt my hands. After all, this is the least suspicious position on this ship."
Jian Yu understood what the man meant: apart from kitchen workers, all other positions required experience related to ships.
She's such an amateur, she's too easy to expose her ignorance.
Jian Yu nodded, "I can. Wait a moment, I'll change my clothes and then I can go to the kitchen."
The man said, "I'll wait for you outside."
Lu Jiao said, "Just bear with it for now. Once you get past the checkpoint, you won't need to help anymore."
Are you sure the checkpoint won't check me?
"You are now a full-time employee on the ship. If there is an inspection, the captain will handle it. In order to save time, the other party will not check everyone. As long as the number of people matches, it will be fine."
"Is the captain the man from earlier?"
"Yes, that's him. You can go to him if you need anything. Just call him Captain Zhang."
"good."
When Jian Yu came out after changing his clothes, Lu Jiao noticed that Jian Yu was still walking a little awkwardly. "There is heating in the kitchen, so you can stay in the room if you don't have to."
"good."
Jian Yu followed Captain Zhang to the kitchen, greeted the chef, and was then assigned to a corner to pick vegetables.
They said they were picking vegetables, but there weren't many green vegetables to pick.
The chef then asked Jian Yu to wash the vegetables.
After washing the vegetables, I started chopping them.
Jian Yu thought his knife skills were decent, but when he actually started working, the head chef criticized him mercilessly.
"Look, look! Who cuts potatoes this thick?"
Jian Yu quickly recut it.
As I cut...
"Good heavens! Who cuts pork this thick? It should be sliced thinly, you know what thin slices are?"
Jian Yu certainly understands.
She also sliced them thinly.
Who knew it would be thicker than I expected after cutting it out.
Pork that has already been cut cannot be recut.
The only thing I can do is slice the back pieces thinner.
One cut, the thickness was acceptable, but it broke in the middle.
After half an hour, Jian Yu had cut a piece of pork into very poorly cut pieces.
The head chef couldn't stand it anymore, so he called other people over to take over.
Jian Yu was assigned to make fruit juice.
The person who used to be in charge of juicing was very dissatisfied. This job didn't require his hands to get greasy, but now that Jian Yu had replaced him, he could only cut pork. He pushed Jian Yu away and said, "Get out of here, you dark-skinned guy. I don't know how you got this job."
Captain Zhang walked in and happened to see this scene, which startled him so much that he quickly turned around to look.
Fortunately, Lu Jiao didn't come.
Jian Yu had been standing and chopping for an hour, and now her legs were stiff and very heavy when she lifted her feet. She was bending down to move around and relieve the discomfort when she was pushed.
As it backed up, it bumped into the table behind it, causing a row of cutlery to tilt and shatter.
As soon as Captain Zhang turned around, he saw plates shattered all over the floor.
His temper was rising rapidly.
To evade responsibility, the employee who pushed Jianyu pointed at him first, saying, "What's wrong with you? You broke a plate on your first day of work."
The chef knew the reason perfectly well: one was a long-time employee, and the other was a newcomer. Without even thinking, he knew who he should protect.
"Captain, you saw it yourself, she's the one who smashed the plate."
Captain Zhang, “…”
He's not blind; he knows exactly what happened.
"Do your job well on my ship, and I won't treat you unfairly. I won't allow anyone to bully newcomers just because they're old."
The kitchen fell silent instantly.
The chef turned around and started pouring oil to stir-fry the vegetables.
Even the person who had pushed Jianyu down to chop vegetables lowered his head.
Captain Zhang pointed at Jian Yu and ordered, "Count how many plates were broken?"
Jianyu began to count the intact plates.
After counting, report to Captain Zhang.
Captain Zhang asked the chef, "How many plates were broken?"
The chef had already mentally calculated, "Eighty."
Captain Zhang nodded, "This was a work error, and the person who made the mistake should compensate for it."
The chef and those who recommended Jianyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Jian Yu, however, knew that Captain Zhang did not mean what the two of them thought.
Sure enough, Captain Zhang changed the subject, "The plate will be compensated by Xiao Li and Dalin together."
Darlin is Jian Yu's alias.
Captain Zhang's decision not only upset the chef and Xiao Li, but also surprised Jian Yu. She thought that Captain Zhang had seen the whole thing and would make Xiao Li the only one to pay compensation, but she didn't expect her to be involved as well.
Before the chef and Xiao Li could even begin to defend themselves, Captain Zhang glared at them and said, "What? You think I handled it poorly?"
Xiao Li: "No, it's just... I didn't hit the plate."
The chef nodded. "Xiao Li didn't crash."
Captain Zhang pointed to the camera in the corner, "Would you like me to play it back for you?"
He slapped Xiao Li on the back of the head, his thick eyebrows arched, his pupils narrowed, and his face contorted in a ferocious expression. "Do you remember the worker who lied to me last year?"
Xiao Li shuddered instantly. "I was wrong. I'm willing to pay half of it back. Just deduct it from my salary."
After saying that, he chopped the pork with incredible speed.
Jianyu, “…”
It seems the worker who lied last year didn't fare well.
