Aunt Li collected the ticket and money in a sloppy manner, and Su Qinghe followed behind to make a note of what this person wanted.

If they meet someone who hasn’t figured it out yet, Aunt Li will just drag Su Qinghe away.

Still thinking about what to order? Don’t delay everyone’s time.
You don’t even know what you are eating when you come to eat.
This kind of ideological awareness is low enough!

There were several tables, and within ten minutes, the money and tickets were collected, and the two went back to the kitchen to find Qiao Da, and let Qiao Da start cooking.

Su Qinghe looked at Qiao Da cooking for so many people by himself, and said, “Master, if you want me to help, I will also do some simple things.
With so many people, what are you going to do?”
“It’s okay.
Who doesn’t wait to eat?” Qiao Da waved a big spoon and said, “I don’t want to wait until I want to eat well, I’m used to it.”

Aunt Li was eating melon seeds beside her, and agreed, “That’s right!”

Then Su Qinghe looked through the small window and watched the people outside waiting with bated breath for the meal.

Qiao Da made a bowl, Aunt Li brought it directly to the window, and said to Su Qinghe, “Xiao Su, learn a little bit, and you will do this with me when I am busy in the future.”

Su Qinghe thought, there is no time to be busy when it looks like this.

Then she heard Aunt Li yelling outside the window, “Two taels of white noodles with green vegetables, hurry up and get them!”

After yelling, she left it alone, regardless of whether others heard it or not.

Fortunately, everyone was staring at this side.
As soon as the voice fell, someone came over and carried it voluntarily.
He also looked at Su Qinghe and the others with a smile on his face.

Su Qinghe thought in her heart, if this happens in the future, such a store will definitely not be able to continue… Sure enough, there can be no progress without competition.
Ouch, fortunately, she is here to cook, not to eat, otherwise, she would rather not eat than be angry.

Qiao Da moved quickly, and in less than an hour, everyone’s food and drink were on the table.
Su Qinghe took a look and found that they were all simple cooking.
Master Qiao’s craftsmanship is really average.
However, the master seems to be very confident in himself, and said to Su Qinghe, “I am moving fast.
Before liberation, I worked in the factory cafeteria and made meals for a group of people by myself.
I was oppressed and couldn’t hold my head up.” Here we come.
There is nothing wrong with these people now.”

Su Qinghe said with a smile, “I think they all eat very happily.”

“That’s right, big white noodles, who won’t eat well?” Aunt Li grabbed a handful of melon seeds for Su Qinghe, “Xiao Su, come and eat the melon seeds, have some more, don’t be polite.
We will work together in the future, so don’t be polite.
By the way, I heard that you are the daughter-in-law of the deputy county magistrate.
What do you usually eat at the deputy magistrate’s house?”

“…It’s the same as what everyone else eats, coarse grains sandwiched with salty vegetables to eat.”

“Yo, I thought it was a big meal.
If you ask me, the food in our state-run restaurant is too bad.
We can eat braised pork on Monday and Friday every week, but we don’t serve it at other times.”Aunt Li complained.


Su Qinghe swallowed, looking at Aunt Li’s face, she found that she was definitely not saying this to show off, but was really complaining about not having enough meat… The noodles she had just eaten at noon were fine grains.

This state-run restaurant is greasy than she thought.

While the two were chatting, someone came to eat again.

Aunt Li looked at the time and said with a straight face, “It’s already one o’clock, and you’re still here for a meal.
Lunchtime is already over.”

The person who came hurriedly replied, “The office is busy, so I didn’t have time to come out.

Aunt Li’s face softened, “Come back early, if you do this again, it’s not good.
There will be no rules.”

“Okay.”

After getting some more white rice and boiled cabbage with salted meat, Aunt Li continued to chat with Su Qinghe.

“Let me tell you, these people are very selfish and don’t think about others at all.
If we follow their time, we’d better not get off work and cook for them non-stop.
Xiao Su, I think you’re being too polite to them, it won’t work, they won’t know the rules.”

Su Qinghe smiled awkwardly, she didn’t even say a welcome.

After finishing the meal at noon, there was nothing to do, because Su Qinghe was here, Aunt Li simply went home. Ready to come back in the afternoon.

Qiao Da also went out for a walk.

Su Qinghe: “…”

The cafeteria was empty, the door was closed and no one came, so Su Qinghe simply sat on the edge of the table in a daze, and then started chatting with the system.

“System, look how diligent I am compared to others.”

“Friendly reminder to the host, your upgrade task has not been completed, and the task of ‘housing’ has not yet started.
Host, please show your hard work to complete the task as soon as possible and reach the pinnacle of life.”

“…how did I find that you are very humorous now.”

“Host, please use the spirit of hard work.”


Su Qinghe hurriedly said, “Don’t say it, don’t say it, I know it already.
I’m looking for a chance to cook.
If you ask me, I can’t be blamed.
Look at the environment you arranged for me.
My mother’s family doesn’t allow me to work, my husband’s family doesn’t allow me to work, nor will they let me work when I find a job.
You are challenging my three views.”

“…Host, please work hard.
All excuses are paper tigers.”

“…”

Su Qinghe exited the system.

At four o’clock in the afternoon, Aunt Li and Qiao Da came back.
Qiao Da is ready to cook.
Su Qinghe said, “Master Qiao, you have worked so hard, why don’t I cook our meals, I can do it.”

Master Qiao smoked a pipe, “That’s right, I will be troubled later.
Xiao Su, Thanks for your hard work.”

Su Qinghe smiled shyly.

For dinner, you can’t eat noodles, steamed rice, or fried cabbage with sliced ​​bacon.

As soon as Su Qinghe made it, he got the same ingredient.

Master Qiao and Aunt Li took a bite and then ate big mouthfuls.
After eating, Master Qiao wiped his mouth and said, “Xiao Su, you’re not bad at cooking.

“Cooking some home-cooked meals is no match for a master chef who cooks meals for so many people.
If you don’t mind, I’ll cook the work meals for the three of us in the future.
You are all the backbone forces, how tiring.”

Three meals a day, get paid, and earn something. How nice.
After all, it’s too idle in this place… I’m really sorry for the wages paid by the country.

Qiao Da and Aunt Li were very pleased when they heard this.
Yes, they are the backbone of this state-owned restaurant.
What kind of restaurant is without a master chef and waiters?

“Xiao Su ah, this is hard on you, how embarrassing ah.” Qiao Da was a little hesitant, he couldn’t bully the new girl.
And she’s the daughter-in-law of the deputy county magistrate’s family.

Su Qinghe hurriedly said, “There is nothing to be ashamed of, we are all serving the people.
It’s the right thing to do!”

Qiao Da smiled, “Well, it will be hard for you from then on.”

Aunt Li wiped her mouth, secretly happy.
Not to mention, Xiao Su’s cooking tastes much better than Qiao Da’s cooking.
It’s time for a change, she’s tired of eating it.

It was 4:30 in the afternoon and after eating, just like at noon, a group of people rushed in.


It closes on time after 5:30.

Su Qinghe said, “What about those who come to eat later?”

Aunt Li ate melon seeds and said, “Come early tomorrow.
Otherwise, we won’t be able to get off work.
They all know that there will be no food after half past five.
We are different from them, we don’t have a day off a week, we don’t have holidays during the holidays, we can’t get off work normally, and the government can’t let us be oppressed like this.”

When Su Qinghe thought about it, it seemed to make sense.
It seems that there are many people who do not want to work overtime in the future.
There’s nothing wrong with that.

So they went back to their homes.

Su Qinghe thought she came back early enough, but everyone else went home too.
Instead, she came back relatively late.

Mother Gu has been thinking about her at home for a long time.
Seeing her come back, she watched Su Qinghe enter the house with distress, and even lost her temper and scolded Gu Changping, “What kind of job did you find that Qing’er hasn’t come back even though it’s already so late? If I knew it was such a job I wouldn’t have agreed to it.”

Su Qinghe immediately explained, “Mom, I work very easily and I’m not tired at all.
The work is very good, and I also want to thank my second brother and sister-in-law.”

If this work is not easy, then I really have to lie down and eat and drink at home…

Mother Gu said, “You just speak for them.
Anyway, if you feel bad, you can tell the family.
Don’t be embarrassed.
Chang’an has worked hard enough outside, don’t be too tired.
I just hope that you and Chang’an will live a happy life.”

Speaking of her third son who is suffering outside, mother Gu’s eyes are red with sadness.

Su Qinghe put her arms around her shoulders, “It’s alright, I haven’t had a hard time.
The food and drink are good.”

Second sister-in-law Gu asked curiously, “What do you eat in the cafeteria?”

Su Qinghe snapped her fingers, “At noon, I ate noodles with vegetables and fried cabbage with sliced meat.
In the evening, we ate rice and fried bok choy.”

The second sister-in-law swallowed her saliva, really wanting to change jobs with the third daughter-in-law.
But no, the third daughter-in-law is not a regular worker, so the benefits cannot keep up.
There is no guarantee in the future.

Fortunately, Su Qinghe took out some cabbage and sliced ​​meat from her backpack.

“There are still some vegetables left, and the weather is not good, so I took some back.
I will deduct money from my salary later.
Today, we can also eat sliced ​​cabbage and meat slices at home.”

Eldest Sister-in-law Gu and Second sister-in-law Gu’s eyes lit up, and they went to cook casually.


Mother Gu immediately got excited, “Look at how kind Qing’er is to you.
She just lives at home and takes things home.
She ate out and came back! Don’t eat a morsel of food at home! You brothers and sisters-in-law, just can’t tolerate her and Chang’an…”

The faces of the two sons and daughters-in-law were numb… They died unjustly!

Su Qinghe pulled mother Gu, “I am a member of the family.
Brothers and sisters-in-law are filial, and Chang’an and I must learn to be filial.
This is what juniors should do.”

“I knew that you and Chang’an are the most filial.” mother Gu chooses to be obedient.

Seeing the expressions of the two sisters-in-law being pierced by an arrow, Su Qinghe felt that she had better not speak.
She discovered that although her mother-in-law and mother have different personalities, they both have one characteristic… Love to offend people!!

In the evening, Su Qinghe’s first meal when she moved in, the family ate together.
It’s not complete, there is still Gu Chang’an who is not present.

However, with Su Qinghe at home, mother Gu felt that the daughter-in-law also represented the son, and it was considered complete.
She was smiling all night.
Su Qinghe came back after eating, so she drank some rice soup with them without eating.

After deputy county magistrate Gu came back, he said a few words to Su Qinghe, but he didn’t say much, and his face was full of sorrow.

He went out again before taking a few bites.

Su Qinghe secretly asked mother Gu, “What’s wrong with dad?”

“Is it not because of the affairs of the county? It’s not his business but he has to intervene.
He said that many people died of starvation last year, and this year’s spring sowing should be done well, and more food should be collected.
But last year’s harvest was not good, and the seeds were not good, so not many were distributed to the county.
Your father recently argued with the county secretary Sun, saying that no matter what, they have to spend money to buy good seeds.
We can’t just wait for the top1The higher officials.
to give it.
They have been arguing about this matter for many days.
This is men’s business, so don’t have to concern ourselves.”
