Chapter 494: Fancy

Li Mingyan was very skillful. Auntie and Bai Yunyun were responsible for lighting the fire and cutting the vegetables respectively.

Bai Yunyun, who was in charge of lighting the fire, glanced at Xia Zhizhi who was sitting in the shadow.

Xia Zhizhi was sitting with her legs crossed, her feet swaying in high heels, one hand dragging her chin in boredom. She was wearing a blue silk dress, revealing a large area of ​​smooth skin, which looked white against the color of the dress. A breeze blew by, and her hair was gently lifted by the wind, as if it was dancing casually.

It’s really beautiful.

Bai Yunyun thought.

She felt that Miss Xia deserved all the good things in the world.

Bai Yunyun looked through the dish rack and found that most of the dishes were shared by the workers.

She rivet with all her might and flipped out two plates from the bottom.

I brought this as a backup. We use it to make big pots of rice at the construction site, and this small plate can't hold much. It's also not as convenient as a vegetable basket for preparing food, so it's just been left there.

Bai Yunyun washed the two plates, boiled them again, and then gave them to Li Mingyan to serve the dishes.

The workers did not set up tables. They just got their meals, found a place to squat or sit, and started eating. After eating, they would take a break with a cigarette, slow down, and then start working again.

Bai Yunyun thought about the way Xia Zhizhi was eating with the bowl in her hand and felt that it was not a good idea. She secretly poked Chen Xuexing and said, "Mr. Chen, why don't we go inside and get a board and use bricks to build a table? Otherwise, how will Mr. Xia eat?"

Chen Xuexing hadn't really thought of this. He was stunned for a moment, then he said, "Okay, I'll go in and see if there are any unused steel bars. You go pick up some bricks and build the legs."

After the table was set up and the food was ready, Bai Yunyun used chopsticks to tidy up the dishes on the plate, then went to the big pot and took out two pieces of five-layered, fat-and-lean, excellent-looking braised pork chops and placed them on the side.

The aunt who was cutting vegetables was a little surprised to see her like this.

Auntie's child is usually a little dull. Although he is not lazy in doing things, he always seems to do things one step at a time. He listens to Li Mingyan in everything and seems to have no opinions of his own. I didn't expect that he would be smart when he should be. Isn't he quite tactful?

Auntie really thinks too much.

Bai Yunyun was introverted and young, and she had never learned how to read people's facial expressions at home. She was ignorant and just thought Xia Zhizhi was pretty, and she couldn't help but want to be nice to her.

This is not surprising, as many people want to take care of their good-looking peers.

After Bai Yunyun wiped the wooden board that Chen Xuexing found to use as a tabletop, she finally served lunch to Xia Zhizhi.

Xia Zhizhi looked at the child with satisfaction.

After leaving her hometown, Xia Zhizhi was too lazy to pretend to be well-behaved. Now, whether it is her clothes, hairstyle or makeup, they are all elegant and bright.

Bai Yunyun's heart was pounding when she was looked at by her. The girl was thin-skinned and her face and ears turned red when she was nervous. She stammered, "Boss Xia, let's eat. These are all unused."

Xia Zhizhi picked up the chopsticks and tasted it.

The meat stewed in the big pot tastes okay. After all, dishes like this kind of big pot of braised pork basically won’t taste bad as long as there are enough seasonings.

However, the two dishes that were cooked for her on a small stove were indeed eye-opening.

A dish of stewed loofah with eggs and a dish of stir-fried pork with kale are both very homely recipes without too many seasonings.

Many of the construction workers came from the mainland. This generation has not been here long and some of them can eat spicy food, so there are chili peppers in their spice baskets.

Li Mingyan guessed that Xia Zhizhi was a local, so she didn't add any chili to the dishes, which had a light taste and allowed her to enjoy the original flavors of the ingredients, which was also a test of her cooking skills.

This small pot of food tasted much better than the big pot. Xia Zhizhi understood after thinking about it.

It’s not that the little girl was lazy when making the big pot of food, but she was not born to be a big pot cook or work in a big canteen.

If you ask a Michelin chef to go to the countryside and prepare banquets, he will definitely not be able to compete with the local banquet chefs.

She is so small that it is difficult for her to carry a big spoon and stir the big pot of food. It is really difficult for the little girl.

After dinner, Xia Zhizhi watched them clean up and waved to the two little girls.

"What's the matter, Boss Xia?" The two little girls walked up to him in an orderly manner, secretly raising their heads to glance at her from time to time.

"It would be somewhat inappropriate for you two little girls to work in the kitchen."

Li Mingyan thought Xia Zhizhi didn't want her as a reserve employee anymore, and her face fell immediately: "Boss Xia, is the food not to your taste? I, I can make something else."

"I like the food very much." Xia Zhizhi brushed her hair and looked at the two girls' suddenly pale faces. She explained, "It's like this. I see that you two girls have thin arms and legs. The factory cafeteria is basically physical work, which is not suitable for you. It just so happens that my family is in need of a chef and a helper. How about you consider it?"

In Hong Kong, some wealthy people like to hire Filipino maids, but Xia Zhizhi personally doesn't like it very much.

She is not saying that Filipino maids are bad. Their work ability is unquestionable. It's just that their looks are not in her taste.

As for the other domestic helpers, I haven’t met any that I particularly like.

In Xia Zhizhi's opinion, the person who takes care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation is, in some ways, closer than family members, so she must find someone she likes.

Li Mingyan’s cooking is delicious. There aren’t many people in the villa, and she’s the only chef, so she can handle it for the time being.

As for Bai Yunyun, Xia Zhizhi is still in need of an assistant. However, this girl is not qualified to be an assistant at the moment. For the time being, let her be a helper at home. If she makes progress in the future, Xia Zhizhi doesn't mind using her.

Li Mingyan and Bai Yunyun looked at each other and nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay, we must do it well!"

Li Mingyan added: "Then, when this construction site is finished, we will go to work for you?"

Xia Zhizhi shook her head. The villa was still empty. Ah Ju was so busy that sometimes she couldn't come back in time to make three meals a day for her. "Go over there early. I'll give you the address later. After you pack up, take a taxi directly. I'll reimburse you."

Li Mingyan looked hesitant. It was not that she did not want to go, but she had promised her aunt to help cook at this construction site. Although she had thought about going to the factory after finishing this construction site, it seemed a bit unethical to run away halfway when the work was not finished yet.

The aunt who had just cleared the dishes came over and said, "What are you waiting for? It's your blessing that Boss Xia has chosen you. Pack up and get back to work. Your uncle Liu is almost done resting at the construction site. Just let him come over. He's not a wealthy man, and he doesn't have any serious illness. Can he rest all the time?"
