Zhu Zhizhi also looked at Bu Ling.
“Yes, but it’s already ten o’clock, and Grandpa Tan hasn’t arrived yet. You should start preparing the dishes first, so we can start cooking as soon as Grandpa Tan arrives,” Bu Ling explained.
"That's right, Master hasn't arrived yet!" Only after Bu Ling said that did Wu Yuanyuan realize that her master hadn't arrived yet. He used to arrive around 9:30, but now it was already 10 o'clock.
Zhu Zhizhi also realized: "Has something happened to Master?"
"I don't know, Manager Zhu went to look for him." Bu Ling shook her head. "Let's wait for Manager Zhu to come back. You guys start preparing the dishes."

Wu Yuanyuan and Zhu Zhizhi exchanged a glance. Their first reaction was to refuse, but Sister Ma said, "That's right. You two have been learning from Uncle Tan for so long, and now we can only rely on you."
To put it bluntly, even if the food isn't very good, it doesn't really matter. Given the status of state-run restaurants, customers will just assume that they've eaten too much good food during the New Year and therefore don't find the restaurant particularly amazing.
So, compared to opening a window, it's still not as tasty!
Once Sister Ma said that, Wu Yuanyuan and Zhu Zhizhi couldn't bring themselves to refuse: "Then shall we give it a try?"
