Zheng Tiansen had been planning to go to the cafeteria for lunch in the afternoon and visit Linglong, but he didn't expect to be notified inadvertently that they were all going to the division headquarters for a meeting, so he had to leave with the political commissar.
As for lunch, we also had it in the division headquarters canteen.
On the way to the division headquarters, he still felt a little regretful.
Liu Baogen wanted to rush into the kitchen to talk to Linglong, but seeing so many people standing in the kitchen, he knew he couldn't do that.
But he didn't want to leave immediately, so he stood at the window and watched Linglong busying herself.
Toss, stir-fry, and add seasoning.
When Linglong finally stopped what she was doing, the quartermaster who had been waiting for a long time reached out his chopsticks and picked up a handful of shredded potatoes from the pot.
He blew on it near his lips, then put it in his mouth and tasted it.
Everyone in the kitchen, including the nervous Linglong, was waiting for the quartermaster's response.
After chewing a few times and swallowing it, a smile appeared on the quartermaster's face.
"Not bad, very delicious."
Linglong breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had passed this test. Did that mean that she could continue to work here smoothly?
"Let me try it too." Sister Niu picked up the chopsticks to pick up the shredded potatoes.
With her taking the lead, more people picked up chopsticks to taste the food.
"Oh, not bad."
"It's a little spicy, but I like it."
"This spicy and sour taste goes well with rice."
Linglong was so happy to hear everyone praising her food.
"I didn't realize, Linglong, that you're quite good at cooking. Besides shredded potatoes, can you make anything else?" Sister Niu asked.
"I just know how to cook some home-cooked dishes." Linglong smiled modestly.
But what she thought was home-cooked food was probably much more than everyone understood.
In her previous life, she was also a foodie who loved studying recipes and watching food shows.
When she said home-cooked, it was just because she wanted to make it at home.
The quartermaster now admires Linglong more and more, and feels that next time he sees Zheng Tiansen, he must thank her in person.
This machine can do both accounting and cooking, which is perfect for them.
Everyone was making loud noises, and Liu Baogen, who was peeping at him, heard it all.
Linglong's image in his mind also became more perfect.
Someone noticed him and came over to smell it.
"Mr. Shi, do you have anything else?"
"I, I'm looking for Linglong Zhi." Liu Baogen quickly stated his request.
"Linglong, someone's looking for you."
"Why."
Linglong, who was answering questions from Sister Niu and a few others, immediately came over when she heard someone calling her.
When she met the smiling Liu Baogen's eyes, the smile on her face immediately disappeared.
"Linglong Xiaozhi, hello, we meet again."
"I'm sorry, I don't know you well and there's nothing to talk about." After saying that, she was about to turn around.
"Linglong, wait a minute."
Linglong turned around. "What else do you want?" Her tone was indescribably cold.
"Do you have any misunderstanding about me?" Otherwise, why would she treat him like this.
He always felt that Zheng Tiansen or Tong Dazhu had done something.
If it weren't for the kitchen staff over there, Linglong really wouldn't want to pay any attention to the person in front of her.
"There's no misunderstanding between you and me. I just feel like I have nothing to say to you."
"Linglong Zhizhi, the first time we met on the platform, I admired your brave act of saving people. We met a few more times after that. We can be said to be destined to meet. Can we be friends?" Liu Baogen said sincerely.
Since there was no misunderstanding, he felt relieved.
First meeting on the platform? Admiration? Fate? Friendship?
When these words came out of Liu Baogen's mouth, Linglong felt that they were full of irony.
"You've just been punished, haven't you? You've got a child bride in the country, and a date in the city, and now you want to be friends with me? No, I can't afford it."
After implying that Liu Baogen had bad character, Linglong turned around and left gracefully.
Liu Baogen's face turned ashen.
How does she know everything? It must have been Zheng Tiansen or Tong Dazhu who told her.
He asked Miss Linglong why her attitude towards him seemed strange.
Saying there is no misunderstanding is even more serious than a misunderstanding.
Linglong was too far away, so he didn't even bother to shout and could only leave angrily.
As soon as Linglong returned, Sister Niu said, "He was just asking about you. Could he be interested in you?"
"Sister Niu, don't get that man involved with Linglong. He was just punished by the regiment. It seems like he has an undocumented wife in the countryside, and he found a partner in the city." Someone who knew Liu Baogen said quickly.
"Oh, he's Liu Baogen." Sister Niu suddenly realized. "Linglong, you should stay away from people like him."
"Sister Niu, don't worry, I know who he is. I will definitely avoid him next time I see him." She is the "daughter-in-law" who did not go through the formalities.
"Let's eat quickly."
"Hey, give me some of the shredded potatoes Linglong made."
"I want one too."
"Don't grab them."
Chatting and laughing with everyone while eating, Linglong immediately felt like she belonged to the group.
Seeing that the newcomer Linglong seemed to be the center of attention, the other military wife who was helping in the kitchen felt uncomfortable.
She is a few years younger than Sister Niu. In the past, she was the most popular topic in the kitchen. When Linglong came, she immediately felt that her limelight was stolen and she started to dislike Linglong.
Whether she felt comfortable or not, she did not immediately express any dissatisfaction to Linglong. She just focused on eating, and was much quieter than before.
Linglong helped everyone clean up the kitchen and packed out some ingredients needed for tomorrow morning before leaving get off work.
She returned home in a happy mood, and was greeted with warm concern by Aunt Tong and Tong Dazhu, who had just finished get off work.
Linglong talked a lot about what happened that day and the test the quartermaster gave her.
Hearing that the quartermaster was satisfied with her, everyone praised her, and Aunt Tong and Tong Dazhu became proud.
"That's what I said. How could they not like such a pretty girl like Linglong?"
"Linglong, if you help cook in the cafeteria in the future, we will all be blessed with delicious food."
"Go away, you just want Linglong to be more tired. There are so many people eating among you, and you can still rely on Linglong alone?" Aunt Tong glared at her son.
Tong Dazhu chuckled. "Mom, am I just saying this casually?"
The Tong family didn’t have any entertainment tools, so after chatting for a while, everyone went to wash up and rest.
Lying in bed, thinking about the day before, apart from the little episode with Liu Baogen, the rest were very pleasant, and Linglong had a smile on her face the whole time.
A great victory on the first day, Zhong Linglong, you must not be too proud, keep working hard in the future!
With beautiful expectations for tomorrow, Linglong fell asleep.
Zheng Tiansen came back late at night. After he finally lay down on the bed, he looked at the moon outside and thought of Linglong.
I don't know whether she had a good afternoon or not. I'll ask her when we go to dinner tomorrow.
By the way, she must have no money or tickets on her. It will take some time before her salary is paid, and Aunt Tong and Dazhu may not be able to worry about these things. You can give her some first.
She has a strong sense of self-esteem, so she said she would lend it to her first.
After thinking about various wordings and details, Zheng Tiansen fell asleep with satisfaction.
The only one who couldn't sleep well was probably Liu Baogen, who was in a bad mood.
