"Young man, this is none of your business. Sit down and rest!"
The old lady looked up and saw Yu Hui standing next to her, looking at her with the same affectionate gaze one would give a dog.
This really startled her, and she quickly took two steps back.
“No, Auntie.” Yu Hui scratched his head. “I want to pick a few villagers who are quick and good at cooking to help me. I’m afraid I can’t handle it all by myself.”
"ah?"
The woman paused for a few seconds before speaking, "You didn't bring a team with you, did you?"
“It’s just me.” Yu Hui shook his head.
"Auntie, could you recommend someone? You probably know the area better than I do."
"Let me think about it."
The woman rolled her eyes, thought for a long time, but her mind remained blank.
There are no snacks, no nightlife, and no food delivery in the village.
Every household cooks their own meals.
Day after day, year after year.
The cooks in the family are all very good at cooking.
She had a ton of suitable helpers in mind.
You could pick any old lady in the village!
Have you thought of it?
Yu Hui looked at the older woman who remained silent and was a little puzzled.
Is it really that hard to find someone who meets the criteria?
What he didn't know was...
The older woman had many candidates in mind.
I just don't know which one to say.
Those who are afraid to have their names mentioned are unwilling to come, while those who haven't mentioned their names are eager to come.
I'm caught in the middle, so I'll just keep quiet!
The woman patted her chest and said, "How about just me, and then we can choose a few more from among these people who came to help?"
Yu Hui thought this made a lot of sense.
So he nodded and told the villagers who came to help him what he was thinking.
Upon hearing this, the villagers all expressed their willingness.
Yu Hui pursed his lips, thinking: "There are four wood-fired stoves. With the help of adding firewood and seasonings, 5 to 6 people will be enough."
"I, ma'am, just need three or four more."
He came to his senses and picked four people based on his first impression: two men and two women.
The other three were happy to help, but Zhuangzhuang's aunt objected to the help of only one person with a bowl cut hairstyle.
She pointed to herself and said in surprise, "Me? Why would you choose me?"
The guy with the pot lid came to help this time so he wouldn't have to pay a gift.
Save those few hundred yuan.
They never thought that neighbors should help each other.
He was also lazy and undisciplined when working.
They wish they could just rush through it and be done with a few hasty steps.
Should we ask her to stay and help?
No way!
This is at a different price!
"You're not willing to help?" Yu Hui asked.
Of course, the person with the bowl cut wouldn't directly say they didn't want to.
"Xiao Yu, it's not what you think. It's because my elderly father hasn't been feeling well lately, and I need to go back to take care of him as soon as possible." She made up a random excuse.
Upon hearing this, the villagers all looked at her with concern.
"Oh, Uncle Fang is sick?"
"How has Uncle Fang been feeling lately? Is he able to eat, drink, and sleep well?"
"When did this happen? Do you need our help?"
The man with the bowl cut replied, "It's alright, I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
If her father, Uncle Fang, knew that his daughter was talking nonsense outside...
You might get sick from getting so angry, even if you're not sick at all.
"Okay, then you can go back after you're done with your work!" Yu Hui said.
Upon hearing this, the man with the bowl cut curled his lips into a smile, which vanished the next second.
She thought to herself, "You brat, you think you can make me work for you for free? Dream on!"
However.
To her surprise,
After finishing the previous paragraph, Yu Hui continued:
"Four people, plus me, that makes five people in total, which is enough."
"I won't let you work for nothing this time. 100 yuan each, we'll settle the bill after dinner."
Upon hearing this, the four people raised their hands and cheered!
———————
"Holy crap, I actually get paid to help out!"
"Waaaaah, Mr. Yu, why didn't you choose me!"
"Damn it, watching you guys make money is even more painful than me losing money!"
"......"
Seeing this, the other villagers were all envious.
Especially the pot lid hairstyle.
At that moment, she felt as if she had eaten a lemon, and it was incredibly sour.
She never expected this.
Just because of one sentence he uttered, he missed out on a hundred-yuan bill...
She was always obsessed with money and incredibly stingy.
Think about it.
She was willing to come and help in order to save money on wedding gifts.
What can't they make?
As Yu Hui took a sip of water, he felt someone put their arm around his shoulder.
Turning my head, I happened to be looking right into the eyes of the person with the bowl cut hairstyle.
Why is she looking for me again?
As Yu Hui was wondering, he heard the man with the bowl cut say:
"Mr. Yu, I was too abrupt just now. Can I still join you now?"
So she changed her mind...
Yu Hui carefully noticed that the tone of the man with the bowl cut had changed slightly this time.
He changed his self-reference from "Little Yu" to "Boss Yu".
"Money really can make the devil turn the millstone!"
After sighing, Yu Hui looked at the bowl-cut hairstyle and smiled:
"What's wrong, Auntie? Aren't you supposed to be taking care of your dad?"
"I......"
In the end, Yu Hui still rejected her.
Time passed little by little.
It was almost four o'clock, and all the side dishes were chopped, so we could start cooking.
Two hours to cook.
I'm still quite nervous.
Yu Hui did his homework specifically for this.
Generally, when preparing for a banquet, the chefs who cook the main course will prepare it a day in advance and then cook it the next day.
