The round-faced waitress was almost mad. She was still a child. If she lived in the countryside, she would be able to get married and have children. But seeing that Zhao Dajun and Lu Jiaxin were not easy to mess with, she held back her anger and prepared to go to the kitchen.

Lu Jiaxin looked at her back and shouted, "You go in now, do you want to spit in our food?"

After hearing this, several guests who were eating nearby couldn't eat anymore.

The round-faced waiter was stunned. Why was this girl so difficult to deal with? "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm going to go in and wash my face."

Lu Jiaxin snorted coldly and said, "Who knows? Someone in the city of Sijiu has done such an immoral thing and was caught by the guests on the spot. But he also suffered retribution and was fired on the same day."

Seeing that all the diners were looking at the round-faced waiter, the woman was so angry that she threw the rag at the window and sat down. Although she didn't say anything, she was obviously submissive.

Uncle Lu ordered eight steamed buns and two dishes, one was braised pork and the other was spicy and sour shredded potatoes.

After a while, the dishes were ready, and the chef inside brought them to the window. The round-faced waitress was furious, but she also knew that she had hit a wall, so she said stiffly with a dark face: "The braised pork is ready."

Uncle Lu prepared to get up and serve the dishes.

Lu Jiaxin held him back and said loudly, "I have eaten at state-owned restaurants in the old city countless times, and every time the waiters brought the food to me. I never thought that the waiters in Feng County were so arrogant. I must spread the word when I get back."

The round-faced waitress' heart skipped a beat. She couldn't bring herself to do that, so she shouted to the thin waiter, "What are you still standing there for? Bring the dishes over."

The person who could often eat at a state-owned restaurant and have such a nice attitude from the waiters must not be an ordinary person. Even if he was not from the local area, she would not dare to provoke him.

The thin waiter rarely saw her being humiliated, so he didn't care. He walked to the window and brought the dish over, smiling and saying, "Girl, this braised pork is our chef's specialty. I guarantee you'll want more after you've had it."

It is not advisable to extend a hand to a smiling person. Lu Jiaxin's attitude was also very kind: "Then I have to try it carefully. If it is really as delicious as you said, sister, I will come again next time."

"Then come more often."

Lu Jiaxin took a bite and said to Uncle Lu, "The braised pork that Fifth Brother cooked at my house last time tasted similar to this."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Lu immediately picked up a piece of braised pork and took a bite. It was sweet but not greasy, fragrant and soft: "Is your fifth brother's cooking skill so good?"

Lu Jiaxin said cheerfully, "Uncle, you should have confidence in Fifth Brother's cooking skills. He married Fifth Sister-in-law because of his good cooking skills."

The reason why Lu Jiajie made the braised pork at her house was so delicious was because she prepared enough ingredients. If he were to make it now, the taste would definitely be much worse without so many ingredients.

Although the prices at the state-owned restaurant were a little expensive and the waiters were not very polite, the food was good. Both plates were full and the steamed buns were as big as an adult man's fist. Lu Jiaxin was full after eating one steamed bun, and Uncle Lu ate two. The rest was eaten by Zhao Dajun.

Seeing his big appetite, Lu Jiaxin thought that if he really went to work in a factory, the salary would only be enough to support himself. If he wanted to marry, he would have to eat coarse grains and control his food intake. This thought flashed through her mind. It had nothing to do with her, so she didn't worry about it.

After leaving the state-owned restaurant, Uncle Lu said, "Xinxin, you have such a bad temper. You should control your temper when you go out in the future, otherwise you will suffer losses easily."

He didn't stop it just now because the waiter's attitude was too bad. Of course, the important thing is that even if it really gets out of hand in Feng County, there is nothing to worry about, but it's different outside.

If she was away from home and had no one to back her up, she would have endured it. But now, with her uncle and Zhao Dajun around, she wasn't afraid of the waiter getting angry.

Uncle Lu looked up at the sky and said, "Let's go back first. If there is still no news today, I will ask your brothers and nephews to go to other communes to inquire tomorrow."

It was just a matter of luck to ask people around with the portrait. He thought it would be more efficient to follow Lu Jiaxin's clues and search in various communes.

Lu Jiaxin nodded and said, "Uncle, I want to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things."

When she arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Lu Jiaxin bought cups, basins, cans of sugar water, soda and other items.

Uncle Lu told her not to buy canned food and soda, saying, "Just buy cups and basins, don't buy anything else, it's a waste of money."

"Uncle, I want to eat."

She was actually not interested in these, she just wanted to buy them back for her children. But only by saying this would Uncle Lu not object.

Seeing the pile of things on the counter, Uncle Lu regretted that he only brought a few dollars with him, which resulted in him being unable to help pay.

Lu Jiaxin paid the money and took the portrait out of her canvas bag to show the salesperson: "Sister, have you seen the person in this portrait?"

The saleswoman smiled brightly when she heard this name. She is 29 years old this year, and her oldest child is 8 years old. This is the first time a little girl has called her sister since she gave birth to her children. She took the painting and looked at it carefully for a while, then shook her head to indicate that she had never seen it before.

Lu Jiaxin was not disappointed and said, "Sister, can you help me ask your colleagues? Maybe they have seen the person in the painting!"

The salesperson saw that she spoke Mandarin so well and sold things for more than 30 yuan. No other girl in the county was so generous: "Girl, you are not from this place, right? " "No, I am from Sijiucheng. My father is the general manager of Sijiucheng Department Store. So we are a family!"

Although the county magistrate is not as good as the current one, knowing her background, the salesmen will be more friendly. She doesn't want to go through the state-owned restaurant incident again.

The salesperson immediately became enthusiastic: "Sister, wait here for a while. I'll go call my colleague over. Maybe she has seen the person in this painting."

Lu Jiaxin was very grateful: "Thank you, sister. We are not in a hurry, we can wait as long as we want."

The salesperson's colleague lived nearby, so Lu Jiaxin and Uncle Lu waited for more than ten minutes before the other party came over.

The saleswoman who came was a bit old, looking about 40 years old. She was straightforward, and as soon as she saw Lu Jiaxin, she said, "I meet so many people every day, I may not remember them all."

This also told Lu Jiaxin not to hold out too much hope. After all, there were so many people coming in and out of the supply and marketing cooperative every day, and even if they had really been there, they might not remember it.

Lu Jiaxin first expressed her gratitude, and then said: "Sister, I am very grateful that you are willing to come. Please help me take a look. If you haven't seen it, we will continue to look for it."
