Fang Qiaoqiao looked completely bewildered: "What carrot?"
Aunt Liu and Grandma Liu, who were eating together, also looked puzzled.
"Of course, it's the carrot that fell in front of the donkey."
Yu Yao didn't intend to hide her relationship with Wan Xiaozhen, so she told her the whole story.
The process of negotiating with Yu Defu was omitted; the focus was on the relationships between the individuals and the outcome.
When Qiaoqiao found out, she couldn't stop smiling and patted Yuyao's shoulder sympathetically.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, this is truly a piece of shit."
"This is yellow lantern chili sauce that my mom asked me to bring you. It has onions in it. I'll pour you a bowl. Go ahead and cry, I won't laugh at you."
Yu Yao was both amused and exasperated by her words of comfort. "I can tell you really can't cook. The onions that have been made into chili sauce have lost their spiciness. You can't cry now."
Fang Qiaoqiao suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. I was just saying that I tried to pretend to cry last time, but I failed. In the end, I had to put some chili pepper on the corner of my eye to make myself cry from the spiciness."
Putting chili peppers in your eyes, that's some serious ruthlessness.
Yu Yao asked out of curiosity, and Fang Qiaoqiao then shared her tricks for playing the victim with Yu Yao.
Aunt Liu and Aunt Liu, who were eating together nearby, exchanged glances, both looking puzzled.
The key question is whether adding onions makes it less spicy or chili makes it too spicy to handle.
I don't quite understand young comrades these days.
While talking to Fang Qiaoqiao, Yu Yao ate her meal and looked at the notes given to her by Uncle Chen.
Since signing up for the canned food research and development competition, Yu Yao has never been without paper and pen, writing down any inspiration she has.
I've filled half a notebook with notes over the past few days.
Once the notebook is finished, her canned food research and development will probably be nearing completion.
Fang Qiaoqiao was truly impressed by Yu Yao's ability to work so diligently under such circumstances.
It can multitask and still complete tasks efficiently.
You could say Yu Yao has a good attitude. If it were her, she would have completely lost it. It would be a miracle if she didn't fight Wan Xiaozhen. She wouldn't even want to go to work, let alone have the mood to develop canned food.
People who do great things are indeed different.
Based on her mindset alone, she felt that Yu Yao would have no problem in this competition.
Speaking of canned goods, Fang Qiaoqiao suddenly remembered the purpose of her visit to Yu Yao: "I almost forgot the important matter. I have good news for you. There's news about the 'Hand-Cutting Secret' that you asked me to inquire about last time. The Hongxi Farm on the south side of the island grows this kind of wild sugarcane."
Yu Yao had heard of Hongxi Farm; the pineapples, mangoes, and other fruits used in the canning workshop were all sourced from this farm.
The farm is a bit far from the food factory, so it's not easy to get there.
I'll have to wait until after I attend Yu Defu's birthday party to make any plans to go to Hongxi Farm.
Fang Qiaoqiao said, "Let's find some time to go together. I have a classmate who was a sent-down youth there and can help."
Yu Yao nodded, "Okay, I'll see which day is suitable and let you know when I confirm."
After finishing her meal, Yu Yao returned to the sugar water workshop.
"Yu Yao, come here, you cook this pot of sweet soup."
According to regulations, employees must learn to cook sugar syrup independently for at least a month before they can do so.
However, Zhao Shengli had seen Yu Yao's performance during this period and made an exception to give her a chance.
When Wang Chuntao inspected the workshop's production progress, she heard Zhao Shengli's words and objected.
“I disagree. She’s only been in the sugar water workshop for a short time. How can she be allowed to boil hundreds of kilograms of sugar water by herself? If so much sugar is ruined, who will be responsible?”
Wang Chuntao felt a sense of crisis. Yu Yao had only been in the sugar water workshop for a short time. If she could master the skills of boiling sugar water, the development of canned goods would be much more efficient.
Director Zhou has already said that the canned goods she delivered received high praise from the factory leaders, and if it could cause trouble for Yu Yao, he would find a way to help with the operation.
Others might be afraid of Wang Chuntao, but Zhao Shengli wasn't. He said in a firm voice, "If she gets ruined, she gets ruined. I'll take responsibility for her. You don't need to worry about it, Wang Chuntao. Yu Yao, you give it a try."
"Okay, Brother Zhao."
Yu Yao cherished this opportunity and mentally reviewed the precautions for each step to ensure there would be no problems before she began to work.
Zhao Shengli stood aside watching Yu Yao operate the equipment, occasionally offering a few pointers. People from the sugar water workshop came over to observe.
No one paid any attention to Wang Chuntao.
Wang Chuntao was ignored, her face darkened to the point of being almost black, and she turned and went back to her office with a cold expression.
Seeing that her aunt was in a bad mood, Wan Xiaozhen comforted her, "Auntie, don't be fooled by Yu Yao's cheerful mood now. After Thursday, she'll be crying her eyes out."
As she spoke, she whispered a few words in Wang Chuntao's ear, and Wang Chuntao's eyes lit up, her worries vanishing. "I thought this was hopeless, but I didn't expect there to be a turning point. This man is destined to be yours, and your aunt is just waiting to drink the wedding wine of the future regimental commander's wife."
Wan Xiaozhen blushed, feeling incredibly excited at the thought of her wedding to Lu Ze.
A handsome and outstanding man like Lu Ze deserves a wife who is worthy of him, and Yu Yao is clearly not qualified.
The next day was Thursday. Lu Ze returned on Wednesday evening and, after learning about Yu Defu's situation, agreed to go and see him.
Yu Yao was afraid that Wan Xiaozhen would cause trouble, so she made sure to talk to Lu Ze before she went.
“I always felt that Yu Defu had another purpose in contacting us this time, so we were all careful when we went there. Wan Xiaozhen is so devoted to you, she doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would give up so easily.”
At this point, Yu Yao looked at Lu Ze's handsome face and muttered, "Sure enough, a man who's too good-looking is a troublemaker. On Thursday, you'd better not wear your military uniform, not even a white shirt. You'd better dress up a bit ugly and dowdy, so as not to attract any unwanted attention."
