Qin Nian always thought that she and Mu Qing were friends. She didn't expect that after Qi Mengmeng had been here for such a short while, Mu Qing actually started thinking about her. She felt that she and Qi Mengmeng must have had a grudge in their previous life.
From now on, if she is there, there will be no Qi Mengmeng, and if Qi Mengmeng is there, there will be no her.
Qi Mengmeng didn't know yet that just because she had lunch in the cafeteria, she had an enemy from her previous life.
She took the key given by the Logistics Department and went to the dormitory assigned to her.
She knocked on the door first. Someone was talking inside. She heard someone knocking on the door and a young female voice said, "Who is it?"
Soon someone came to open the door.
Qi Mengmeng took a step back, waited for the other party to open the door, and said to the other party very politely: "I am Qi Mengmeng, a new member of the bread team, and I have been assigned to the dormitory here."
The woman who opened the door looked at Qi Mengmeng inconspicuously, then nodded: "Come in."
Qi Mengmeng entered the room and saw four bunk beds in the small room of about ten square meters. Seven of the beds were covered with sheets, and the upper bunk near the door was cluttered with a lot of things.
While Qi Mengmeng was observing the room, the three people in the room were also observing her. No one spoke for a while.
"This is Qi Mengmeng, the new member of the bread team. She has been assigned to our dormitory." The woman who opened the door just now spoke to the other two.
"My name is Wang Hong, I'm in the candy group. This is Li Xing, she's in the candy group like me. The other one is Qian Sanhua, she's in the pickle group."
Qi Mengmeng nodded politely to them, then pointed to the upper bunk: "Whose things are these?"
The three people looked at each other, and it was Wang Hong who spoke up: "The things up here belong to everyone. No one lived here before, so we put some things here."
"The Logistics Department assigned this bed to me. When do you want to take the things away?" Qi Mengmeng did not get angry, but said in a friendly manner.
When she first arrived, Qi Mengmeng believed in being polite before using force. If everyone was friendly, she would not be a troublemaker, but if someone wanted to stand out, she would not mind giving the other person a hard time.
Qian Sanhua, who was sleeping on the lower bunk opposite the door, had a unhappy look on her face. Before, no one was on the upper bunk, so she just put her things on it. Now that Qi Mengmeng had moved in, she could only put her things on the floor.
"There are so many things. Where can we pack them now?" Qian Sanhua muttered a few words when he saw that the other two were silent.
Qi Mengmeng looked at her with a gentle expression but a cold gaze: "I'm not staying here tonight, but I will bring all my things here tomorrow morning. I hope everyone will clean up the things on this bed tonight."
Wang Hong quickly realized that Qi Mengmeng was not a pushover, so she smiled and tried to smooth things over: "We will definitely take away everything on this bed tonight, but some people don't stay here tonight, and we're not sure if they will come back tonight?"
Qi Mengmeng smiled and said, "It's just that I won't be back at night, not that I won't come to work. You live together, so you must have a good relationship. It shouldn't be a problem to find someone to inform them, right?"
Staring at her, the other three shook their heads and said it was okay.
Qi Mengmeng nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you three colleagues. I'll bring the bedding over tomorrow morning. If there's something on it, I'll assume it's something that others don't want, and I'll just take it down and throw it away. That should be okay, right?"
What can the other three say?
I could only put on an awkward smile and say it was no problem.
Qi Mengmeng then took out three pieces of red bean cakes from her pocket and gave one to each person.
"This is the red bean cake I made myself. I'll give it to you three sisters to try. I'm married now and won't be living here permanently. If there's anything going on in our dormitory, please let me know."
Qi Mengmeng is well aware of the routine of hitting someone with a stick and then giving them a piece of candy.
Food is precious nowadays, and even those working in food factories have limited snacks to eat.
The red bean cake that Qi Mengmeng distributed to the three people was the size of two mahjong tiles, which is more precious than fruit candy.
The three of them received the red bean cakes, and their expressions became much more natural.
Li Xing stuffed the red bean cake into her mouth, but almost choked. She chewed it hard a few times and swallowed it, looking at Qi Mengmeng with sparkling eyes.
"Well, I've worked in the food factory for several years. If you don't understand something, just ask me. This red bean cake is delicious. Qi, Mengmeng, where did you buy it?"
"I made this myself." Qi Mengmeng told the truth.
The candies she had on her were similar to those in the factory. She was afraid that it would be difficult to explain if she took them out, so she got up early this morning and made a pot of red bean cakes and put them in the space, thinking that if anyone needed them, she could give two pieces to others.
"Did you make it yourself?" Li Xing's eyes brightened and she squeezed next to Qi Mengmeng.
"Tell me, how are you making it? The red beans inside are so soft, fragrant and sweet." Li Xing said while licking the corner of her mouth. She loves snacks by nature, so she came to work in the food factory.
The other two people knew Li Xing's habit. Wang Hong had a smile on her lips, while Qian Sanhua snorted coldly.
"I put some sugar in the red bean cake, so it tastes a little sweet. After the red beans are cooked, mix them with glutinous rice flour and steam them. It's just that red beans are hard to buy now. I bought these red beans last year and only made some because of the Chinese New Year a while ago."
Qi Mengmeng did not hide anything and explained the method of making red bean cake in a few words. This is just a common method and any chef who is good at cooking can make it with some thought.
However, red beans, sugar, and glutinous rice flour are not cheap, and few families are willing to make them into snacks.
Sure enough, Wang Hong and Qian Sanhua, who listened to the cooking method with their ears pricked up, both swallowed their saliva and each found a piece of oil paper to pick up the red bean cake. Of course, the red bean cake that used so much oil and ingredients had to be taken home to eat.
Li Xing held Qi Mengmeng's hand and asked quietly, "If I buy the materials, can you help me make some?"
"This?" Qi Mengmeng didn't expect that Li Xing would really be willing to do this.
Wang Hong advised, "Li Xing, the ingredients needed for the red bean cake are hard to buy, and glutinous rice flour is expensive. It's not necessary to buy it just for a bite."
Li Xing said, "When you live in this world, what you eat is yours. I just like to eat delicious food."
Wang Hong wanted to say something else, but Qian Sanhua had already laid down: "Wang Hong, why are you trying to persuade her? If she eats well, the whole family won't be hungry. If she doesn't spend the money, who will benefit? Go to sleep. You have to go back to work."
Wang Hong shook her head, said nothing more, and climbed onto the innermost upper bunk.
Li Xing took Qi Mengmeng's hand and asked her to sit on the lower bunk of Wang Hong.
"This is my bed. Would you like to take a rest with me at noon today?"
"No need." Qi Mengmeng did not accept Li Xing's kindness, "I'll just go back to the workshop and sit for a while."
