Tao Ji glanced at Qin Guangqing after he put the lunch boxes on the table, sent them away, closed the door, snorted coldly, put the food on the side of the table, and continued to work on the drawing software on his laptop.
It’s just that his stomach wasn’t very supportive and was always protesting against him.
Tao Ji looked at his stomach with some disgust. It was just a meal he hadn't eaten. Why was it making such gurgling sounds? Didn't he just feed it chocolate?
Of course there was no good solution, since Tao Ji was born rich and was used to a life of luxury.
He could only blame himself for coming to Tianya Village, a remote little place where there wasn't even a restaurant. He had been having everything handed to him for so long that he didn't even have bread or instant noodles.
It's really abominable!
Suddenly, a fragrance somehow kept drilling into his nostrils.
Tao Ji tried hard to ignore the smell, but he still couldn't overcome his curiosity. He finally couldn't help but take the rice in front of him...
But he wasn't going to eat it!
He just wanted to see what Xu Shang made for lunch today.
He just wanted to know what made Xu Shang so discouraged that Master Luo suddenly lost the courage to fight head-on and left him.
As soon as he opened the bag, Tao Ji's mood suddenly became delicate.
A meat dish, pig's head, the favorite appetizer of the poor, was naturally nothing in Tao Ji's opinion; a semi-meat dish, cabbage stuffed with meat rolls, was somewhat novel and indeed rare, but the main dish?
Eel rice?
Looking at the two large pieces of eels neatly arranged, covering the rice underneath tightly, Tao Ji suddenly had an idea.
Xu Shang, you are so despicable!
A canteen, a construction site canteen, a construction site canteen in an inland province, and you actually made a small living arrangement!
Such high-end food is naturally a dimensionality reduction blow to the meals in the construction site canteen!
Did Xu Shang defeat his comrade-in-arms Master Luo by such despicable means?
Tao Ji felt that he had figured out the reasons and consequences of Master Luo's departure!
Although Master Luo had superb cooking skills, when he came to Xu Shang's side, he found that what Xu Shang cooked were actually high-end daily dishes. He immediately felt despair and thought he could not win, so he left in despair.
That’s right!
It's no wonder Tao Ji thinks this way. In this era, anyone with the word "foreign" in their name is inexplicably superior to others.
Eating cooked food with chopsticks has become barbaric and backward; while using a knife and fork to eat bloody steak and eating raw fish with hands has become a symbol of nobility and elegance. Sometimes this world is so inexplicable.
As a person who studied abroad, Tao Ji is quite fond of daily cooking.
In America, hamburgers, fried chicken, and barbecued meat are everywhere, but for the Chinese people who are well versed in the art of fine dining, such food more or less lacks the delicate and rich layers. The daily cuisine inherited from the Chinese just fills the gap in Tao Ji's diet.
The aroma of the eel rice became stronger after opening the plastic bag, and Tao Ji's hand couldn't help but touch the disposable chopsticks.
Just as he opened the lid of the lunch box, Tao Ji paused.
"I don't want to eat it. Yes, how could I possibly want to eat something Xu Shang made!"
"I just wanted to expose Xu Shang's despicable tactics!"
He picked up a piece of eel and put it in his mouth. The strong freshness, from the taste buds on the tip of his tongue, skated all the way, and rushed directly to the top of Tao Ji's head with his saliva, making his body tremble uncontrollably.
He picked up the cabbage stuffed meat roll and took a bite. This time Tao Ji was amazed. The cabbage was crispy and slightly sweet, and the minced meat inside was delicate and chewy. The strong and delicious taste was not inferior to the eel at all, and it was even more delicious!
He took another bite of the pork head, a common delicacy that he didn't think much of. The pork head meat accompanied by the secret spicy dipping sauce instantly brought an unprecedented shock to his taste buds. Tao Ji stared at the pork head in a daze... How could such a poor man's delicacy taste so good?
He couldn't help but compare it with the stir-fried dishes made by Master Luo.
It seems, seemingly, possible, perhaps, maybe...
Xu Shang’s dishes are really more delicious.
"Damn, the food is so delicious, why don't you become a chef!"
"Why do you come to challenge the architect?"
…
When it was almost time to get off work in the evening, Tao Ji came to the construction site for an inspection, which was a rare occasion.
Standing in the half-finished construction site, Tao Ji's mind was completely focused on the lunch box he had eaten clean at noon.
What a shame!
However, Tao Ji quickly found a reason for himself. He wanted to understand the workers' food situation and get into the lives of team members so that he could better integrate with the team members and form a stronger cohesion.
By the way, the person who brought me the meal should be Foreman Qin.
Qin Guangqing suddenly felt that Master Tao seemed to be looking at him. Although Master Tao looked at the sky and the trees from time to time, it seemed that he always glanced at him unintentionally for a moment.
Soon he discovered that his feelings seemed to be true.
Because Master Tao actually walked towards him.
"Mr. Qin! Come here for a moment. I have something to tell you!"
"Master Tao!"
Qin Guangqing came to Tao Ji with some trepidation, wondering if Tao Ji was dissatisfied with them or wanted them to return to work.
"Thank you for your hard work during this period. I, Tao Ji, am sorry for you."
