Yi Qingqing never expected that loach could have such an effect, but she didn't hold out much hope.

Although cooking is easier, working in the fields is also good. It has the effect of a powerful pill, so there is no need to worry so much about these things.

Let nature take its course. It would be great if you are selected, but it doesn’t matter if you are not.

When Aunt Guihua came back after casting her vote, she gave Yi Qingqing a reassuring look.

Before she could say anything, Yi Qingqing's name was called.

She turned around and ran quickly to the back wall.

"Comrade Yi Qingqing, you are the educated youth who just went to the countryside this year, right? You have done a good job in mass work. Several people have already voted for you."

Secretary Chen stretched out his hand and shook hands lightly with Yi Qingqing.

"Thank you for the compliment. I'll vote for these people," Yi Qingqing glanced at the words on the wall and pointed at Lin Guihua, Xu Dongmei, and the names of the two aunts in her group.

Team 1 had more than half of the votes, but she was actually in second place, only one or two votes behind Aunt Guihua, and one vote more than Aunt Dongmei.

Aunt Guihua was right.

Yi Qingqing returned to the team, and Aunt Guihua pulled her aside and said with a smile, "How is it, was my guess correct?"

"That's right. If I had known that Hu Wa and the others' promotion would have such an effect, I should have ordered more loach strips for them," Yi Qingqing joked.

Aunt Guihua patted her arm and said, "Don't spoil them. It's what it should be. You used a lot of oil, and they made a lot of money."

…

"Okay, the voting is over, everyone can turn around," said Secretary Chen.

Although everyone had their backs turned, everyone could see the current voting situation when they went up, so everyone knew the result by now.

"The winners with the highest number of votes are Lin Guihua, Yi Qingqing, Xu Dongmei, and Sun Laidi! Let's applaud and congratulate! I hope you can do a good job of logistics during the autumn harvest and take good care of everyone's stomachs!"

After saying this, Secretary Chen took the lead in applauding.

Aunt Guihua had a smile on her face, and she looked very calm, generous and composed.

Yi Qingqing also imitated her, appearing neither humble nor arrogant amid everyone's applause.

"Okay, I declare that the Sanqiu work will start now!" Secretary Chen shouted excitedly.

Everyone followed their respective team leaders and when they arrived at the site, they were assigned further tasks.

Yi Qingqing got together with Aunt Guihua, Aunt Dongmei and Aunt Sun, whom she was not very familiar with before.

"Xiao Yizhiqing is really amazing. He got two more votes than me," Xu Dongmei joked.

Yi Qingqing smiled embarrassedly, "It's all because the aunts think highly of me. I have never cooked for so many people. I hope the aunts can teach me more."

"If you ask me, you are very smart. You have done the work in advance. No one in the team is as willing as you. Who else should we choose if not you?"

Sun Laidie was also smiling, and her tone of voice was gentle and non-aggressive, but the meaning of her words was not quite right.

Aunt Guihua glanced at Sun Lai Di and said to Yi Qingqing, "You, don't be so modest. I heard Uncle Zhao and Yougen say that your cooking is delicious. Although I didn't taste the loach strips in the child's hand yesterday, I knew it must be unpalatable just by smelling it. You will have to help us learn from you."

"Let's go, we have to start preparing lunch," Aunt Dongmei also said.

The two of them pulled Yi Qingqing from the left and right and walked towards the cafeteria.

Seeing that no one paid attention to her, Sun Lai Di stamped her feet and followed.

The team’s canteen is also next to the threshing ground, next to the granary.

The food for the autumn harvest has been placed in the canteen. They have to estimate the daily quantity and make their own meals. There can only be some leftovers, no less.

Yi Qingqing knew nothing about this. She didn't even know how many people were in the team, nor did she know how much to cook for each meal.

Fortunately, there are three other veterans.

Yes, Yi Qingqing just found out that Aunt Guihua, Aunt Dongmei and Sun Laidie were all members of the canteen cooking team during the autumn harvest in previous years.

Aunt Osmanthus relies on her popularity and coordination and planning skills.

Aunt Dongmei relies on her excellent dough-kneading skills. The wild vegetable steamed buns she makes are tastier than those made by others.

Sun Lai Di and Sun Zhao Di, who ranked fifth in the votes, are sisters. There was only one vote difference between the two, while there was a big difference between the fifth and sixth place.

Sun Lai Di and Sun Zhao Di both married from neighboring villages. They were well-known experts in picking wild vegetables in the team. Relying on this, they were part of the cooking team when the canteen was opened during the autumn harvest in previous years.

Wild vegetables are very important for making this big pot meal.

Because even if the team provides food for cooking, it is impossible to have pure grains for every meal. Even if it is coarse grains, there are not so many that can be produced.

Generally, some wild vegetables are mixed in. Even if they don’t taste good, they can fill the stomach.

You only need to cook one meal a day, lunch, and be busy for the morning at most. If that's all the work, it would be too easy to get full work points.

They cannot idle away in the afternoon. They have to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables or mushrooms to add some food to everyone, otherwise the little food they have will definitely not be enough.

Aunt Guihua told her that only at noon on the first day of autumn harvest and the last day, the steamed buns would not be mixed with anything else.

The first day was to boost morale, and the last day was to cook the remaining food to replenish everyone’s energy.

Section 87

After knowing this, Yi Qingqing understood that she had emerged as a rising star and occupied one of the four cooking spots. Not to mention others, at least those who had the spots in previous years would not like her.

Sun Laidie and Sun Zhaodi are sisters, so it was normal for them to speak in a sarcastic tone before.

Yi Qingqing didn't take it seriously. She thought it was just a coincidence. If others had any intentions because of it, she would not tolerate it. Besides, two of the other three were on her side, so Sun Laidie couldn't make any trouble.

She didn't really care about those insignificant words, or even those that seemed to be nothing serious on the surface.
