Xu Xiaofeng's doubts vanished within ten minutes. As the aroma wafted from the pot, Xu Xiaofeng doubted her own cooking skills for the first time. The smell was so fragrant that she felt she had never smelled such a delicious aroma in her life.
"Sister Zhenzhen, why does it smell so good?" Xu Xiaofeng watched eagerly, slurping her saliva. She had never smelled such a fragrance even when Master Li was cooking, let alone her cooking skills. She used to be very confident in her cooking skills. If the food didn't taste good, it was because she didn't perform well. She used to firmly believe that one day she would be able to perform at her best, but with just this one dish, she suddenly felt that what she had eaten before was all pig food.
Bai Ruozhen took the bowl and walked to the corner and secretly poured some of Master Li's wine into the pot. "Did you see what I did?"
Xu Xiaofeng was very excited, her eyes sparkling. She nodded and said, "I'll remember it."
"Tell me about it." Bai Ruozhen didn't believe that she really remembered it. If she really remembered it, how could she remember that step when stir-frying cabbage?
Xu Xiaofeng's face was relaxed. "Pour the oil, add the vegetables, add the onions, ginger, and garlic..."
"Stop." Bai Ruozhen interrupted her. "Are you sure I should put the vegetables first and then the onions, ginger, and garlic?"
Xu Xiaofeng was stunned, "That's what my mother did."
Bai Ruozhen burst out laughing. No wonder Xu Xiaofeng's cooking wasn't tasty, even the steps weren't right. It turned out she learned it from her mother at home. She felt a little sympathetic towards the Xu family. Besides, Comrade Xu Fugui had managed to stay plump and round even with all that food. It must have been a difficult feat.
"Do you think your mother's cooking is delicious?" Bai Ruozhen asked Xu Xiaofeng.
Xu Xiaofeng frowned and hesitated, "It's, it's okay."
Bai Ruozhen nodded, opened the pot and turned it over. Xu Xiaofeng sniffed again, "It smells so good. Your cooking skills must be better than my mom's."
"Whose cooking skill is better, you or your mother?" Aunt Pang put down the basin and asked Xu Xiaofeng.
Xu Xiaofeng said proudly, "Of course I'm the best. My dad said my cooking skills are very good, a hundred times better than my mom's. I'm more than qualified to be a chef."
Bai Ruozhen: “…”
Fat Aunt: “…”
Old Li, who came over after smelling the fragrance: "..." I really want to ask Xu Fugui if his conscience hurts.
"I feel like I can eat three bowls of rice at noon." Aunt Fat licked her lips and said.
Old Li pretended to be profound and said, "The ribs are limited and must be divided according to length of service."
Sun Fang was dissatisfied, "Master Li, with the way you divide it, does Zhenzhen still want to eat?"
Master Li looked at the pot with envy and said cruelly, "Let's make it tomorrow. I'll use the money to buy the ribs."
Bai Ruozhen smiled and said, "That's great." She also likes to eat meat.
Another twenty minutes later, the spareribs were ready. Bai Ruozhen saw them staring at the spareribs like hungry wolves, and fearing that they would not have enough, he fried a few side dishes. More than ten people gathered together, waiting for Master Li's order, and their chopsticks flew towards the spareribs.
Xu Xiaofeng had never seen them eat so quickly before. When she came to her senses, there were only two pieces left in the small bowl. Looking at the bowls of the others, each of them had four or five pieces. Even Bai Ruozhen had three pieces in his own bowl.
Old Li said seriously, "Xiao Xu, you will be a formal employee of our cafeteria from now on. Learn from Xiao Bai and try his cooking skills first."
Xu Xiaofeng was about to cry but couldn't, so she said, "Two pieces are not enough."
"This isn't enough for us." Sun Fang generously placed the cabbage Xu Xiaofeng had cooked in front of her. "We definitely won't fight with you for this."
Others quickly responded, "Yes, we won't argue with you."
Then the big guys who didn't want to compete with Xu Xiaofeng for food stretched out their chopsticks to other dishes. In an instant, the other plates were empty, and there were at least two full bowls in front of each person.
Xu Xiaofeng took a bite of the ribs with a wronged look, and the aroma of the ribs immediately filled her mouth, making her want to eat another bite.
In the blink of an eye, a piece of pork ribs was eaten, and only two small pieces of pork ribs were left in her bowl.
She thought she could eat a whole bowl, but unfortunately there were only two pieces in front of her. Everyone else started eating, and she noticed that Bai Ruozhen hardly moved his chopsticks, and then the bowl in front of Bai Ruozhen was full.
Xu Xiaofeng sighed and cleared the bottoms of several plates and put them in her own bowl. Then she looked at the bowl of cabbage in front of her, which was completely untouched. She frowned, took a bite, and immediately spat it out.
It’s too salty. How much salt did she put in it?
Sun Fang gloated and said, "What's wrong? Why did you vomit?"
Xu Xiaofeng pursed her lips and said, "Too much salt."
Sun Fang: "Hehehe."
Aunt Fat: "Haha. Xiaofeng, do you understand our suffering?"
Teresa Teng blinked her eyes to show that she didn't understand, "You guys are eating so many delicious foods and yet you're complaining? I only have three small pieces." She is the one who suffers the most, okay?
Fat Aunt: “…”
Aunt Pang stopped talking, feeling that speaking was too much trouble, and just lowered her head to eat rice.
After finishing the meal, there was only a bowl of cabbage left. Old Li said seriously, "Xiao Xu, our Director Xu is a frugal person."
"Yeah." Xu Xiaofeng was feeling a little depressed because she didn't eat enough.
Lao Li said, "You can take the remaining cabbage home and eat it. You don't have to cook dinner."
Bai Ruozhen glanced at him and thought it was a good idea. If his own daughter didn't mind, he could let her go home and cause trouble for his family.
Xu Xiaofeng hummed again, "I understand."
Bai Ruozhen pushed his untouched bowl of food towards Xu Xiaofeng, "I didn't touch it, you eat it."
"Thank you, Sister Zhenzhen." Xu Xiaofeng was immediately happy, took it and started eating happily.
