Chapter 638: Zhai Xiao'e at the Construction Site

~7 min read 1,382 words

The construction site is still a distance from home, Song Tan walked quickly for a few steps, and soon caught up with Until Wu Lan.

And persuaded her: "Mom, don't be angry, if she doesn't do well, let her go; we have already given her a chance before."

The last time the engineering team talked about this, Until Wu Lan handled it, after all, it was introduced by an acquaintance, and because of this, she was also polite and discussed with others.

Every day meat and vegetables are ordered from the town and sent over. Cooking for fifteen or twenty people, the help is just washing, cooking, and preparing meals. This work is really not worth anything to people in the village.

After all, just cooking big-pot rice is fine, not hosting a banquet.

Besides, the 4000 yuan salary is paid by the engineering team, which is truly a high salary, just to find someone with good skills so they can eat and drink well here.

But this Zhai Xiao'e, she was very serious about cooking on the first day, and her skills were not bad, and her control of heat was also good. With that bean paste, no matter what the taste, it wouldn't be bad.

But starting from the second day, two insects were fished out of the dishes.

It's hot, and they have a large amount of food to cook at the construction shed, so everyone didn't pay much attention, just thinking they didn't find it.

Sometimes there are fish that slipped through the net when cooking at home.

Looking at it now, people are not like that!

And Until Wu Lan followed closely by her side, until she walked to the scope of the construction site, only then did she suddenly understand why her mother was so easily fooled—

Looking at the other side, a large pot of cold mixed cabbage.

The reason for not choosing others was not because she thought that dressing up in a fancy way meant she couldn't work. It was because Zhai Xiao considered that this engineering team was all old men, and a young and beautiful woman here would inevitably lead to gossip in the village.

Zhai Xiao felt ashamed.

"Miss, look at our breakfast!"

"... Why don't you recognize a good heart? So many people eating, how much money does it cost to eat a day? I saved money for you and saved benefits..."

They are all from neighboring villages. One of them is thin and tall, with a slender figure. When she came, she wore a skirt, and a layer of white powder was applied to her slightly white skin. She drew her eyebrows, applied red lipstick, and even had a pair of gold earrings on her ears.

The person in charge, Old Xu, also had a belly of bitterness, and at this moment, he opened the lid and showed it to her:

If you really eat that, it is estimated that you will feel hungry before you start working.

Especially when her vicissitudes face showed a look of grievance and fear, and then two lines of tears...

Unexpectedly, the other party was such a virtue!

"Eat it!" Zhai Xiao'e lowered her head, her voice aggrieved. "We are still mixing cabbage in the morning, just eating pickles."

That's it, seeing Song Tan'e like this, you don't even talk much:

"That, how can you say that?"

"You told me last night that you would work hard today, this thirty-plus-degree weather, people work so hard, can they eat enough eating that? Does your family eat that for breakfast when you go to the fields?!"

Until Wu Lan:... It can be seen that people cannot be judged by their appearance, that Zhai Xiao'e, you are not necessarily a delicate and pretty E.

"What's going on?"

It's not until the person is beaten to submission that people can't say anything good about your Qiao Qiao.

Zhai Xiao sized up Zhai Xiao'e's body: "I don't believe you ate that by eating pickles."

Why did the hired chef have such a virtue?

It is truly that Zhai Xiao'e is too deceptive!

Zhai Xiao was so angry that she couldn't get up:

Whether the skills are good or not is one thing, but the attitude is another.

Actually, there were two people introduced to cook.

This looks like a simple and honest rural farm woman who has been bullied.

There is no oil at all!

Looking at the engineering team, they couldn't help but turn their heads away.

How much is cabbage per jin? Even in a poor family, they wouldn't stew the hard roots at the bottom with meat, right?

Zhai Xiao didn't answer, just quickened her pace towards the mountain.

Zhai Xiao mentioned this, and Until Wu Lan on the side was a bit curious:

No way, people have that demeanor

Zhai Xiao didn't answer, but the pace at which she walked down the mountain quickened once more.

As Zhai Xiao said this, Wu Lan, who was on the side, was a bit curious:

There's no help for it; the person just has that kind of demeanor. When she wasn't satisfied with the first meal, Old Xu symbolically mentioned it a couple of times, and the other party ended up in that state, making the big man feel completely uncomfortable, thinking he must have looked incredibly fierce!

And that's not to mention this sticky, mushy stuff that doesn't fill you up; what is the meaning of this cold tossed cabbage on the side?

"Eat!" Song Tan'er lowered her head, her voice aggrieved. "We had tossed cabbage this morning too, just eating salted vegetables."

The cabbage leaves were cut large and crudely; there was no need to even use a spoon to turn them over a couple of times, as one could directly see the hard, woody vegetable roots still stuck in the pot.

At one meter seventy tall, she probably weighs one hundred seventy jin, her skin is dark, and the whole person looks both honest and simple.

Two lines of tears streamed down Song Tan'er's weathered old face, and a pair of rough hands rubbed the corners of her clothes, looking both uneasy and pitiful.

Back when Qiao Qiao's condition was being mocked and ridiculed by others, she hadn't hesitated at all, picking up a broom and fighting and cursing at them—

She had sought out this Song Tan'er, using both soft and hard words, but the other party had eyes filled with watery tears, only saying she was too tired that day and wanted to slack off, and that it would definitely be like this from now on...

Though she dressed gaudily, she was extremely efficient; when washing and picking vegetables, she would tuck her large skirt hem into her legs, and she would get to work in a whirlwind.

"Song Tan'er!"

As soon as the words fell, one could see that Song Tan'er had already raised her arms to wipe her tears in a disheveled manner, while wiping, she hunched her body in a wronged way and walked toward the small rest compartment:

Upon lifting the pot lid, one could see that what was boiling at the bottom, whether it was porridge or rice, was sticky, thick, and soft.

Not to mention the potatoes, which weren't even properly peeled...

But following that, the old vegetable leaves weren't even picked off! And before that, eating cabbage actually meant including that layer of hard, woody roots at the bottom...

Wu Lan didn't know that there was another reason for Hou Xin's anger.

It even made Zhai Xiao look arrogant and overbearing, simply unreasonable.

That was why she decided to save trouble and called this Qian Da'er in front of her to come to work.

Looking at Zhai Xiao's appearance again, she was indeed furious.

At this moment, she came to the temporarily set-up stove and asked:

The person in charge, Old Xu, also had plenty of work experience, and seeing this, he didn't delay any further, directly finding Zhai Xiao and telling her about the matter.

"Mom, you aren't someone who is so easily fooled, are you?"

The engineering team trusted her, which is why they let her arrange the work of finding a chef—and this was for building a factory for her own family!
