Chapter 62: A Clever Way to Complete Takeaway

Tao Ye would never admit her mistake, because when she was still an ordinary modern delivery girl, the person she hated the most was her colleague Li You!

The reason is very simple, because every time they have a meeting, their supervisor always praises Li You, such titles as "the best employee", "hardworking model", "model worker"... all belong to Li You!

In the eyes of his supervisor and other colleagues, Li You is not only a hard-working person, but also a kind and honest person who gets along well with everyone.

And Tao Ye... at that time her name was Tao Ye. Tao Ye was the employee with the worst performance in their department. He had long been labeled by his supervisor and other colleagues as "lazy", "smelly", "the king of complaints", and "violent".

At that time, Tao Ye and Li You were the two extremes of their department, and were always used as a joke by their colleagues for comparison after dinner!

All of Li You's honors were a joke to Tao Ye. Of course, Tao Ye hated Li You, and she always believed that Li You's advantages were all fake and artificial! He could get the recognition of his supervisor and colleagues only because those people were blind!

The incident that happened to Tao Ye was also due to this factor.

That day, after she picked up the takeaway from the merchant, before it was delivered to the delivery location, she encountered a customer return the order. The merchant did not agree to the return, but the customer insisted on returning the order. After a lot of phone conversations between the two parties, Tao Ye still didn't figure out what was going on. In short, neither the merchant nor the customer wanted this meal.

Tao Ye was hesitating whether to throw away the food. At this time, she met Li You. Li You rode his electric bike very fast, passed by her, and stopped the bike in front of a public toilet.

Tao Ye then came up with a bad idea to play a trick on Li You. Anyway, no one wanted to order the takeaway food and it would be a waste. It would be great if he could cover Li You's head with the soup for some entertainment!

There were few people going to the public toilet at noon, so she parked her electric bike at the entrance of the public toilet, and then walked into the men's toilet with her takeaway. At that time, Li You was urinating...

Tao Ye walked past Li You from behind. She didn't expect Li You to be so thin-skinned and timid!

Li You turned around as soon as he heard the voice behind him. When he saw that it was Tao Ye, he was surprised and shy. He held up his pants, his face flushed, and shouted: "You...what are you doing? Don't come over here!"

There was a slight change in the tone of Li You's voice when he asked the question, and he looked shy, as if he had been molested and was unable to resist!

Tao Ye thought Li You's state was very funny, so he simply put on a naughty smile and said in a teasing tone: "What do you think I want to do?"

Tao Ye approached as she spoke, and just as her hand was about to open the lid of the takeout box, Li You suddenly picked up the mop beside him and swung it towards Tao Ye in fear!

In fact, Li Youhui's direction was not accurate, but Tao Ye panicked and wanted to hide. There was water on the floor of the public toilet, and her feet slipped. Somehow, the mop stick hit the side of her head.

She felt dizzy and swirling on the spot, and then bleeding profusely and she fainted on the ground!

Li You was so frightened that he frantically reached for his phone and called 120 and 110. Later...

Thinking of this, Tao Ye smiled indifferently. She used to really hate Li You very much, but... after coming to the ancient times, she had seen so many sinister hearts of people that she felt that Li You was not so hateful after all.

Now, she can see her contemporaries here, which makes her feel more at home.

Tao Ye once again looked at the man in front of him. He was indeed Li You, but he was dressed like an ancient country bumpkin waiter: "Why are you here?"

Li You was about to reply to Tao Ye's question, but suddenly hesitated. He glanced at the three Wang brothers standing next to him. They looked like nobles. "Who... who are they?"

Tao Ye wiped away her tears, stared at Wang Jing, and replied calmly: "He regards me as the suspect who killed his wife and is interrogating me!"

Li You was stunned.

Before Wang Jing could speak, Wang Dun expressed his dissatisfaction: "You are so unreasonable! If my second brother thought you were a suspect, he would have arrested you and brought you to the authorities! He just saved your life, is it wrong to ask you to give two pieces of evidence?"

Wang Ao hurriedly pulled Wang Dun back, smiling and saying, "Don't be angry, big brother! Sister Taoye is in a bad mood right now, and second brother is injured, so let's go home first! What about the testimony... let's ask about it another day!"

As he said this, Wang Ao was about to push Wang Jing onto the horse.

Wang Jing didn't get on the horse. He looked very worried: "Where can I find her next time?"

Wang Ao pointed at Li You and said with a smile: "I have seen him. He gives meals to the poor on the street every day! I guarantee you can find him!"

Before Wang Jing could quite understand what was going on, he was hurried away by Wang Dun and Wang Ao.

Tao Ye seemed to understand. She watched the Wang brothers go away, and then quickly asked Li You: "You gave food to the poor on the street. Was it the food from the Ghost King Restaurant?"

Li You nodded.

Tao Ye should have guessed long ago that Li You's appearance in this place must be for the same reason as her: he "died" in modern times, was then recruited as an employee at the Ghost King Restaurant, and then was sent here to deliver takeout.

Tao Ye, who had nowhere to go, naturally followed Li You and came to the stall where Li You was giving out meals.

The so-called stall is a simple shed leaning against an old tree. Under the shed there are a stove, spatula, bowls and chopsticks. Next to the cooking utensils is a bamboo basket with some vegetables such as radishes and greens in the basket, and half a bag of rice next to it.

Without asking, Tao Ye also knew that the ancient tree behind the stall must be the source of the food donated by Li You!

But, that vegetable basket...

"Are these dishes props for you to deceive others?" Tao Ye stretched her head to take a look at the vegetables in the basket. They were definitely authentic dishes of this era.

Li You nodded, his smile still as sincere as it was in modern times, "We must not let people think that the food is made out of nothing! Even if beggars knew the origin of our food... they would definitely not be able to eat it! However, these dishes can be made for myself, and they cannot be completely regarded as props!"

Tao Ye asked again: "You have one hundred missions, too?"

Li You nodded again.

At this time, a ragged man came to Li You to ask for food. Li You opened a food box under the ancient tree, took out the food, and said that "it is cold and needs to be heated up to be delicious." He poured the food into the pot, blew on the fire, heated it up several times, and then gave it to the man.

Tao Ye watched the man take the food aside and eat it with great relish. In a short while, he finished it all and then returned the plates and bowls to Li You.

Tao Ye was very confused. After the man left, she asked Li You: "Has any of your guests ever complained about the food? Has anyone ever vomited after eating?"

When Li You heard this, he seemed to have completely understood what Tao Ye meant. He smiled and asked, "Have you never tried the food at Ghost King Restaurant?"

Tao Ye shook her head.

Li You smiled again: "Then you should at least have paid homage to your ancestors and laid out offerings, right?"

Tao Ye nodded, but didn't quite understand what Li You meant.

"Don't you know that the food in the underworld is not fully cooked? Aren't most of the offerings you make to your ancestors half-cooked?"

Tao Ye was shocked. She had never thought about this in such a long time!

"I tasted the food once. To be honest, I don't want to taste the food in the underworld. But as an employee, if you don't even understand your own products, how can you sell them? You..." Li You smiled and pointed at Tao Ye's face.

Tao Ye felt a little ashamed, and she asked curiously, "So, did every one of your customers eat up all the food?"

"The food at the Ghost King Restaurant is terrible. There are few seasonings and the food is not cooked well. It is definitely hard for ordinary people to accept it. So every time I send out a portion, I will heat it for a while, and then it will be cooked. I will add a little seasoning. Although it is not delicious, it is definitely not unpalatable. Most of my customers are beggars who can't afford to eat, and it is rare that they don't eat it all."

"So...how many orders have you completed?"

“There are already more than 90 orders.”

"So...how long have you been in this era?"

Li You recalled and roughly calculated: "It should be more than a week!"

Tao Ye was confused. She had been in this era for more than a year, but the number of takeouts she delivered was far less than Li You, and she had caused a lot of trouble...

Li You smiled and said to Tao Ye: "When I first came here, I was also confused. I kept thinking about how to accurately locate customers. I saw a beggar begging for food on the street, so I gave him a meal. He vomited after taking a bite and didn't want to beg from me anymore. I tasted it and knew what the problem was! Later, I changed the place, processed the food, and gave it away again, and it was different! People who had eaten my food promoted it for me, and I had more customers! Most of my tasks were completed in the past two or three days. Because of my high efficiency, the Ghost King even praised me!"

Tao Ye sighed. She and Li You had been colleagues for two terms. Today she finally accepted that she was indeed not a qualified employee, and Li You was the best employee wherever he went.

"Don't look so sad, come and do the task with me! The next order from the customer will be yours, how about it? Let's work hard together and return to where we belong!" Li You smiled kindly, revealing two rows of white teeth.

Tao Ye couldn't express how touched she was. It turned out that their supervisors and colleagues were not blind. Li You really not only worked hard, but was also willing to help others...

Perhaps, the eyes of the public are sharp, so... is she really as "lazy", "smelly", "the queen of complaints", and "violent" as her colleagues say?

Whenever someone came to ask for food, Li You would ask Tao Ye to go under the ancient tree to get the food. This continued until night fell. Tao Ye actually completed more than a dozen tasks in one go!

This was definitely the day she had the highest efficiency in completing tasks since she came to the ancient times! And it was all thanks to Li You...

Before closing the stall, Li You personally prepared dinner for the two of them. Although the ingredients were simple, the taste was delicious.

In the evening, Li You took Tao Ye to a nearby temple. He told Tao Ye that he had been staying there recently. He would help the monks fetch water every morning and fill all the water tanks before going to set up the stall.

This made it possible for him to stay here smoothly.

Tao Ye thought that according to Li You's method and speed, she should be able to complete the task and return to the modern era soon... She immediately thought of the problem she left behind in the modern era: the problem of her reputation as a "pervert". After she returns, will she continue to be cyber-bullied?

Under the candlelight, Tao Ye felt very embarrassed and had to ask Li You: "Um... after I was on the hot search news... what happened next?"
