After lunch, Xie Feng left.
Tian took Dabao and Xiaobao to wash their hands. Song Yuehua called Xie Wenwu over and talked to him about everyone in the compound.
Xie Wenwu couldn't help but interrupt, "Master, I know everyone in the compound."
"Knowing and understanding are two different things." Song Yuehua explained patiently.
Xie Wenwu said, "I thought that as long as I could settle the accounts and do the work well, that would be enough."
Song Yuehua said in a gentle voice, "Although I also want you to just do your job well in the future, it is better for you to understand some social etiquette as early as possible. You will definitely not understand things that are too complicated in a short time. For the time being, just learn not to offend others."
"What if you offend someone unintentionally?" Xie Wenwu asked.
"Don't worry, there are solutions." Song Yuehua said, "Try to speak less and remember that silence is golden."
"Silence is golden..." Xie Wenwu remembered it.
Xie Wenwu learned practical things such as how to keep accounts and how to pay workers very early on.
Song Yuehua asked him to call Zhou Xiaohu, and the two of them started work today.
Xie Wenwu ran to Zhou's house and shouted across the courtyard wall. When Zhou Xiaohu heard it, he ran out without even finishing his meal.
"Don't be anxious, ask Wenwu to come in and sit down!" Lin wanted to call the two of them in, but as soon as she went out, they disappeared.
After Lin came back, she said, "He went there while chewing his meal. What a shame."
Zhang smiled and said, "This is good. I think Xiaohu is very motivated."
"Doing a good job is better than anything else." Zhou Lizheng put down his bowl and chopsticks and said.
Everyone in the compound was working. Song Yuehua called Liu Xue over and said, "From today on, the kitchen will be managed by Xie Wenwu. Zhou Xiaohu is also working in the kitchen. Together with Aunt Wu, there should be enough manpower. If there is anything you need to pay attention to in the kitchen, please talk to Xie Wenwu."
Liu Xue asked, "Is Senior Brother now the manager of the kitchen?"
"Uh..." Song Yuehua hesitated for only a moment.
Xie Wenwu quickly said, "Master, I will memorize the complete set of idioms. You promised to let me be the manager."
The reaction this time is quite quick.
Song Yuehua pulled out a collection of idioms and asked two more idioms, but Xie Wenwu answered them again.
“Tsk!”
Song Yuehua sighed and said to Liu Xue, "As you can see, please take care of Manager Xie more often in the future."
Hearing the words "Manager Xie", Xie Wenwu's eyebrows instantly danced with joy. He came close to Liu Xue and said with a smile, "Did you hear that? I am also Manager Xie."
"Then should I call you Manager Xie from now on?" Liu Xue asked.
"That's not necessary," Xie Wenwu shook his head and said, "We have a master-disciple relationship, which is extraordinary. You should still call me Senior Brother."
Liu Xue also smiled and said to him, "Aunt Wu has a good temper. You just got here, so if you have any questions, just ask her. Be good tonight."
"Don't worry!" Xie Wenwu patted Zhou Xiaohu on the shoulder and said, "With the two of us here, we will definitely show you our skills."
Wu was still busy in the kitchen. Long before she just came to the kitchen, Zong Yi had told her that no matter how long she worked in the kitchen, the boss would still find a new manager, so she should be mentally prepared.
Later, when they were harvesting cotton and holding a pig-killing banquet, the boss asked Xie Wenwu to be the host. She vaguely guessed that it was him, and it turned out to be true.
"Aunt Wu, should we prepare everyone's meal early tonight?" Xie Wenwu asked.
Wu came back to her senses and smiled, "It will be time to prepare in a while, Manager Xie, do you want to rest for a while?"
When Xie Wenwu really heard others calling him Manager Xie, he still felt a little embarrassed. "No need. We just got here today, so it's better to get to know each other earlier."
Wu took the two of them to count the stored grain and vegetables. After counting in the cellar, they made a note in a small notebook.
"Aunt Wu, what dishes are you planning to cook tonight?" Xie Wenwu asked.
Wu replied, "Boiled potatoes, cabbage and vermicelli, and some pickled radish."
"Is it so plain?" Xie Wenwu was stunned.
He remembered that when he was in the compound, he had meat and eggs every now and then.
Wu explained, "It's not vegetarian anymore. We just killed two chickens yesterday, so we're going a little vegetarian today."
Xie Wenwu had an idea in mind.
There is a fixed amount of chickens, eggs and meat every month, and we can only try to distribute the eggs and meat evenly every day.
Just let it be vegetarian, but you can also think of ways to make it taste better.
The dinner that day was delivered by Zhou Xiaohu and Wu.
When the farmhands on Zhou Dafu's side saw that it was Zhou Xiaohu who came to deliver the meal, they started asking out of curiosity.
Zhou Ren asked, "Xiao Hu, did you cook this meal?"
"No, I'm just doing odd jobs in the kitchen. The one who cooks is Xie Wenwu." Zhou Xiaohu said quickly.
Zhou Dafu also came over, "Why are you all squatting here? Go sit in the shed and eat well."
After everyone left, he asked Zhou Xiaohu, "Are you working today? Are you tired?"
"Not tired." Zhou Xiaohu handed the last box of food to Zhou Dafu with a smile.
Zhou Dafu patted his head and said, "Okay, you should go back and eat."
Xie Wenwu suddenly took over the kitchen. If Wu hadn't brought the food over, Zong Yi wouldn't have known about it.
He took out a handkerchief and handed it to Wu, saying, "Wipe your sweat. I'll go talk to Xie Wenwu and tell him not to let you deliver meals to me anymore."
"No," Wu's ears turned red as she whispered, "I came here on my own accord..."
Zong Yi was stunned, his voice was hoarse, "Did you come to see me specially?"
Wu Xinlian stood up hurriedly, picked up the backpack, and said in a panic, "I, I'll go back to work first."
Looking at Wu Xinlian's leaving back, Zong Yi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Open the lunch box in your hand, and inside are golden fried potato balls. Take a bite, the skin is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
The sauerkraut stewed with vermicelli has a delicious broth and the vermicelli is smooth and tasty.
Fresh cabbage is stir-fried with spicy radish, and if you look closely you will see crispy fried shallots, which is both refreshing and crispy.
"Manager Zong, have we changed the chef in the kitchen?" Wang Gangzi asked.
Zong Yi said, "The boss is worried that you won't have a good meal, so he changed the chef to cook for you."
"This, this is so embarrassing, hahaha..." Wang Gangzi said happily while holding the lunch box.
Old Man Ren also came over with a lunch box and asked in a low voice, "Master Zong, are you hiring people in the kitchen? My useless daughter-in-law, how about..."
"She is indeed useless. Don't say that to her anymore. Compared to her, you should take care of yourself more." Zong Yi said coldly.
"I..." Old man Ren was pinched by someone and had to leave in shame with his lunch box.
Xie Wenwu cooked a very good meal indeed. Liu Xue originally thought that he would ask her for chicken or eggs, but unexpectedly, he cooked the three vegetarian dishes so deliciously as well.
I shouldn’t praise him anymore, as I really don’t want to see his tail sticking up in the air.
