Food: The super chef just wants to set up a stall leisurely

As the construction period was coming to an end, everyone knew that Zhao Xiaojing was about to leave the construction site and would not go with them. A feeling of sadness and parting filled the kitchen.

Zhao Xiaojing made a large batch of milk smoothies and brought them to the kitchen, then distributed them to the employees one by one after they came to work.

"Hey, Xiao Zhao, I didn't expect that we will be separated so soon. I really can't bear to part with such a good kid like you." Sun Dehai held the milk ice cream in his hand and looked at Zhao Xiaojing with a face full of reluctance.

"Master Sun, let's keep in touch. If the construction site is in Jiangcheng, I will come to see you." Zhao Xiaojing also felt heavy in her heart.

Master Sun is indeed a good master. He is generous, never suppresses others, and tells you everything he knows. I have learned a lot from him these days.

"Hey, my daughter is younger than you. It would be great if she was as talented as you. Then we father and daughter would have more common topics." Sun Dehai sighed, recalling the time when he didn't know what to say to his daughter every time he returned home.

"She is still in school. She will be more successful than me in the future."

"Well, if your grades are not good, you will just be able to make a living after you graduate.

By the way, Xiao Zhao, you said you were going to Jiangcheng in the future, have you decided what to do?" Sun Dehai slapped his forehead and instantly got rid of his sad mood.

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll decide after I get there. Master Sun, do you have any suggestions?" Seeing Sun Dehai's excitement, Zhao Xiaojing was also very curious.

"Do you remember the brothers I told you about last time? They were Lao Jia and Lao Gu.

Didn't I send you the video of flipping the wok? They didn't believe you learned it in a month! They insisted that I was bragging, but they were targeting me, not me. They didn't say there was anything wrong with you flipping the wok.

What does this mean? It means that they don’t believe you can finish the course in less than a month, and they can’t find any fault with you!” Sun Dehai said with a beaming face.

"That old Gu is in Jiangcheng. He opened a shop and has several apprentices. But I have seen his apprentices and none of them can match your qualifications!

If you can't find a good job after you go to Jiangcheng, please contact me and I will call him directly.

Apart from anything else, with the level of his apprentice, you can be the mainstay when you go there! When the time comes, just help me laugh at him more!"

Sun Dehai was very proud of himself, and Zhao Xiaojing was also amused by him.

Previously, Sun Dehai talked about the final stage of his cooking apprenticeship with Lao Gu. Each of them made a stir-fried liver tip for the master to taste. As a result, the master said that Sun Dehai did not use enough vinegar and the organs were not fresh enough, so he lost to Lao Gu.

Sun Dehai lost the game because of a spoonful of vinegar, and he remembered this loss for most of his life.

"Okay, thank you Master Sun for your help. It looks like I won't have to worry about my job anymore." Zhao Xiaojing agreed with a smile.

"Hey! What kind of help? This doesn't count as me helping you. You are helping me by going there and making me look good! But it's up to you to make your own arrangements. If you don't have a good place to go, just contact me."

"Okay, Master Sun, I'll contact you if I can't find it." Zhao Xiaojing smiled.

After get off work at noon, Zhao Xiaojing was about to leave the kitchen when she was stopped by Geng Mingyan again.

"Xiao Zhao, take it." Geng Mingyan handed a bag to Zhao Xiaojing.

"Sister Geng, please keep some for yourself. I haven't even finished the one you gave me last time. Why are you giving me so much now? It's such a waste of money for you!" Zhao Xiaojing took the bag without knowing what was going on and saw that it was filled with several cans of homemade brown sugar ginger tea, just like last time.

"It's not a big deal, just drink more. You didn't look very well the last time I saw you here! It's not worth anything."

"I can't drink so much, I'll leave some for you!" Zhao Xiaojing said as she reached into the bag to take out the can.

Geng Mingyan hurriedly stopped her, "Xiao Zhao, take it, take it! I'm especially grateful to you during this period, it's really thanks to you!" Geng Mingyan looked back and pulled Zhao Xiaojing to the lobby of the cafeteria.

"You don't know, your elder sister Hou and I have had arguments several times over this mess in my family! I know she is doing this for my own good, but I..." Geng Mingyan paused, looking gloomy.

"I heard you trying to persuade your elder sister Hou last time. If it weren't for you, we would have quarreled for days. She might even not want to pay attention to me..."

"No, Sister Geng, Sister Hou is making a fuss with you because she cares about you. If she really doesn't want to pay attention to you, she won't be angry with you for your affairs!" Zhao Xiaojing advised.

"Hey, I know, Xiao Zhao, to be honest with you, let alone her, I even look down on myself. Not only when we quarrel, but even when he and I are happy, I always think of those disgusting things. I doubt my decision almost every day! But, but I..."

Geng Mingyan's face was troubled, and her voice became more and more depressed as she spoke.

"I made a mess of myself. I couldn't get over my marriage, my career was a mess, and Guihua and I almost broke up."

"Sister Geng, you have done your best."

Zhao Xiaojing patted Geng Mingyan's hand. "You have done your best for your children and your family. You don't need to look down on yourself. You are a good cook and hardworking. You run your breakfast shop so well. You are amazing. You didn't close the shop because you didn't do well. You are just doing your best for your family. You have done what you can. You sacrificed too much and suppressed your own needs."

“……” Geng Mingyan was silent, her face full of emotion.

"Thank you, Xiao Zhao, thank you for saying that. I am nearly 20 years older than you, but I am still far behind you. Last time I heard you and Master Sun say that your family members were gone, I thought at the time that you are really strong, powerful, and insightful.

You don’t know, I was raised by my uncle’s family since I was a child, and my parents passed away before I can remember…”

Geng Mingyan spoke in a low voice, and Zhao Xiaojing looked into her eyes and listened carefully.

Geng Mingyan's family lives in the countryside. Her ancestors were businessmen. Originally, their family was a well-known wealthy family in the town, and they owned all the shops on an entire street.

Grandpa had three sons. Her father was the second son and the only one who was promising, smart and capable among the three sons. So Grandpa handed over the shop to her father to manage.

The other two sons did nothing all day long and lived with them. All their food and expenses were paid from the family public account. They did not contribute a penny. Not only did they use the public funds for their own benefit, they also suspected their father of cooking the books and embezzling the family's money every day.

Originally, the family was noisy and not harmonious, but they could still live together.

But a revolution that lasted for ten years and swept across the country finally reached them.

The third son was afraid that he would be implicated, so he was the first to add insult to injury and reported that Geng Mingyan's father and grandfather were speculators and capitalist-roaders, and were tyrant landlords in the old society.

Seeing this, the eldest son followed suit and dug out the family tree to report that her father and grandfather were criminals who undermined socialism.

In the end, the family tree was destroyed, and my grandfather and father were taken to the cowshed, paraded through the streets, and involved in fighting.
