Chapter 30 What a coincidence
"Okay, that's great." Jiang Chao agreed happily.
Just like that, He Yan joined their ranks and walked with Jiang Chao on Jiang Yingying's left and right sides.
As she walked, Jiang Yingying seemed to be able to feel the burning breath coming from the right side, and her ears turned red, as if they were burned.
He Yan glanced at Jiang Yingying from the side and thought that even the whorl of hair on her head was particularly cute.
Along the way, Jiang Yingying and He Yan were both flustered when their eyes met for a moment, but Jiang Chao was the only one who was so thick-skinned that he didn't notice anything was wrong.
He was first happy that he could exercise with someone he respected, and then he wanted to take this opportunity to find an excuse so that he could do morning exercises with He Yan all the time.
After walking almost half the way, Jiang Chao's excitement finally calmed down a little.
Also because his brain was in a state of high excitement after learning that he could do morning exercises with He Yan later, Jiang Chao did not realize that something was wrong with Jiang Yingying and He Yan along the way.
After Jiang Chao's excitement cooled down a little, he started talking about Jiang Yingying again.
He Yan was also aware of the changes in the cafeteria's breakfast pattern. After hearing Jiang Chao's words, he also began to worry.
So, next, Jiang Yingying encountered this situation where she had her brother's loving nagging on the left and Captain He's worried eyes on the right.
Seeing the door of a cafeteria appearing not far away, Jiang Yingying breathed a sigh of relief.
It's finally here.
How come they arrived so quickly, He Yan thought, they had clearly only been walking together for a short while.
"Brother, He Tuan, I'm here." Jiang Yingying said hurriedly, "I'll go in, you guys go train."
"Remember what I told you."
He Yan was struggling in his heart for a long time, so long that Jiang Yingying entered the cafeteria before he could say anything.
"He Tuan, how should we practice next?"
He came back to his senses and met Jiang Chao's sparkling eyes.
He Yan pursed his lips and said, "Let's run ten kilometers first."
"good."
On the other side, after Jiang Yingying entered the cafeteria and made sure that she would not see He Yan and her brother, she let out a long breath and covered her cheeks which were heating up rapidly.
It’s not like I haven’t walked and talked with Captain He before. But it’s strange, the atmosphere just now was... a little weird. Jiang Yingying puffed out her cheeks.
In a flash, something flashed through her mind.
No way... Jiang Yingying's face turned red.
"Xiao Jiang!" Master Zheng's loud voice came from behind. Jiang Yingying was startled and quickly turned around to greet him. "Master Zheng..."
"Xiao Jiang, you are indeed a young man. It's only a few minutes before the work starts, and you're already here."
Master Zheng saw Jiang Yingying's face, exclaimed, "Look at you, your face has been blown red by the morning wind..."
Jiang Yingying's face was flushed, because she was embarrassed by the narcissistic thoughts in her heart just now, not because of the wind as Master Zheng said.
She smiled awkwardly and explained, "Master Zheng, I am used to coming early. This face is caused by walking, not by the wind."
"Why are you calling me Master Zheng, Xiao Jiang? You are being too formal..."
A smile spread across Jiang Yingying's lips, and she changed her words decisively. "Zheng Bo."
"Hey, Xiao Jiang, what are you going to make for breakfast today?" asked Master Zheng.
Jiang Yingying and Master Zheng entered the kitchen together. She glanced at the ingredients sent by the logistics department last night and looked at Master Zheng. "Zheng Bo, what do you want to do?"
Master Zheng took a quick look, thought for a moment, and said, "Momo, vegetable cake, celery porridge?"
Seeing Jiang Yingying lowering her eyes in deep thought, Master Zheng continued to give advice. "Vegetable porridge? Sweet potatoes, baked potatoes..."
Master Zheng scratched his head and said, "Xiao Jiang, you decide what to eat in the morning. I'll follow you and learn from you."
Jiang Yingying looked at Master Zheng and smiled, "Uncle Zheng, you and Uncle Yang are both veteran chefs, master chefs. There's no need to use the word 'learning' with me."
She said, "The canteen is a big pot. I have been working in the canteen for a while, and I have heard Uncle Zhu and others talk about what happened back then."
The old-timers in the cafeteria, such as Uncle Yang and Uncle Zhu, are all veterans.
When they were soldiers and fighting in the war, life was hard. They didn’t care whether a meal was delicious or not, the most important thing was to be able to eat enough.
Moreover, the cooking skills of Master Yang and his colleagues were honed through day-to-day work, based on experience, while Jiang Yingying was interested in cooking and studied it systematically.
There is a difference between the two.
"You guys have real skills gained from experience, I just used some ingenuity to make a few new dishes."
Master Zheng said with a smile: "You are better than us at making new dishes. I will listen to you about what breakfast you want to make."
Jiang Yingying pursed her lips and said, "Uncle Zheng, in this case, why don't we make pumpkin porridge, fish-flavored pork and multi-grain buns, and pickled vegetable potato cakes today."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
As they were talking, Dong Jianbin and others came over one after another.
When everyone arrived, they started to work. Although it was the first time they worked together, Master Zheng was extremely cooperative. Everyone in the cafeteria had a good impression of Master Zheng and they believed that he was not the kind of person who would cheat or play tricks.
Therefore, the first cooperation between the two canteens was perfect. After Master Yang and Master Bao came to have breakfast one after another, the relationship between the two canteens became much closer.
On this day, people from the two cafeterias ate together at the same table for the first time.
"Finally I can eat in the cafeteria. I heard earlier that Comrade Xiao Jiang's dishes are different every day." Chef Cao said happily, "I can finally eat today."
Master Zhu also had an unusually bright smile on his face. "I've heard that the Second Hall has many specialties, like sweet and sour pork, but I've never had them once."
Chef Bao laughed, "We all work in the cafeteria. We are busy when everyone else is eating. When we are done, we have nothing to eat. We can only eat what we cook ourselves."
“That’s right…”
Those who were not on duty ate at the table outside, while Jiang Yingying and Master Zheng gathered at a small table in the back kitchen.
After the two canteens cooperated, although all the people who ate breakfast were gathered together and the flow of people increased a lot, because they did not come at the same time, Jiang Yingying and her friends were still able to handle it.
This time, He Yan went back to the dormitory, took a shower, changed into training clothes, brought a lunch box, and put the meal ticket and money in his pocket.
"Good morning, Comrade Xiao Jiang."
"Good morning, Captain He." The moment Jiang Yingying heard his voice, her ears couldn't help but feel hot. "What do you want to eat today?"
He Yan looked at her and said, "Please, I'll give you a bowl of pumpkin porridge, two steamed buns, and two pancakes."
Jiang Yingying looked at him. She knew she shouldn't ask, but she still asked.
"Is that enough?"
