Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating-Chapter 92 - : Can’t Cook?

Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Can’t Cook?

“Why are you scared? Chicken.” Liu Haiyun cursed, quickly dressed herself, and spent quite some time primping in front of the dressing table.

Wu Yimu frowned at his wife’s primping: “Why are you dolling yourself up like that at home?”

“I made plans with Sister Zhou Huiru. After breakfast, we’ll head to the county.” Liu Haiyun glanced at her husband.

Wu Yimu didn’t think much of it. His wife had lived comfortably in her maiden home and developed a pampered nature, which hadn’t changed even after their circumstances had declined.

She could really connect with Zhou Huiru.

“I’m off to work.”

...

Liu Haiyun wolfed down her breakfast and hurried to find Zhou Huiru.

Zhou Huiru had just finished eating as well and was about to leave the house when she saw Liu Haiyun approaching with a smile: “Hai Yun, have you eaten?”

“Sister, I came to find you after I had my meal. Let’s set off now,” Liu Haiyun said.

Traveling to the county meant they had to take a vehicle, a real hassle.

“Okay.” Zhou Huiru agreed, dashed into her house, rummaged through a cupboard, grabbed a handkerchief, and quickly ran out.

They left the village arm in arm, like sisters.

“Look, Captain Xu’s family has two bicycles. How impressive,” Liu Haiyun said enviously as she saw Xu Ying and Mrs. Xu ride past, immediately switching to a friendly face, “Auntie, where are you heading?”

Mrs. Xu: “I’m going to the county to withdraw money; my youngest son has sent his salary.”

Liu Haiyun watched as they rode away, then smirked: “What’s with the attitude? So what if her husband is the captain.

Sister, you’re getting the short end of the stick. Tell me, both our husbands are captains, so why does her family have so much more money?”

Zhou Huiru also got annoyed when this was mentioned: “What can I do? Captain Xu is able.”

“Able what? He must have used his power to gain plenty of perks for himself.”

“Hai Yun, you can’t just say things like that. If Captain hears you, he’ll have your hide,” Zhou Huiru warned after checking to see no one was around.

Liu Haiyun waved her hand dismissively: “I’m not afraid of him.”

Her husband was no pushover. Worst comes to worst, it could be a fight to the death, but why should Captain Xu’s family live so well?

“Oh, cut it out,” Zhou Huiru said, annoyed.

Liu Haiyun laughed naively: “Sister, I have some good news. My man said that some leaders will come to our commune for an inspection in a while.

They say it’s going to bring production to our village. If Jiang Min does well, could he get an award from the leaders, maybe even surpass Captain Xu?”

Zhou Huiru’s eyes lit up: “Really?”

“How could that be fake? They said it’s a high-ranking leader coming to teach us about farming. How funny is that? Everyone in our village is a farmer. We know this work better than those who never set foot in the fields.”

Zhou Huiru got even more excited after hearing this, clutching Liu Haiyun’s hand: “You don’t understand a thing. They wouldn’t come if they didn’t know anything. Maybe the leader will bring experts in farming with him.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

But it’s good if they come. If they can bring production to us, the working people, that’s a great thing.”

Who wouldn’t want to eat their fill every meal or have white flour on the table? But circumstances wouldn’t allow it. Just not going hungry was good enough.

But Hai Yun was right. If her husband made a good impression during the leaders’ visit, even if he didn’t surpass Captain Xu, he could get noticed. Then, when Captain Xu retired, her man might take over.

They got on the bus, and in a little over an hour, they arrived at the county.

Once in the county, Liu Haiyun took a dramatic deep breath and exclaimed, “It’s just better for city folks, everything is so convenient.

Not like us, where buying something is such a bother.”

Zhou Huiru also envied the city life. Her family used to live there, but alas, things hadn’t gone as hoped.

“Let’s go check out the State-owned Restaurant, I want to see what that girl Xu Ying can cook,” Liu Haiyun said, not convinced.

A little girl, what skills can she have?

Zhou Huiru was curious too. The two of them went together to the place where Xu Ying worked.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, the aroma that hit their noses made them salivate.

“Comrade, does Xu Ying work at your restaurant?” Liu Haiyun asked, craning her neck.

When Sun Lifang heard they were looking for Xu Ying, she perked up and ran over, asking curiously, “What do you want her for?”

One could tell from this question that Xu Ying definitely worked there. Zhou Huiru quickly said, “We’re from the same place as Xu Ying, I’m her sister-in-law, and since we happened to come to the restaurant, we thought we’d look for her.”

Sun Lifang was about to turn around and call someone, but Liu Haiyun stopped her, “Comrade, how is Xu Ying doing in your restaurant, can she cook?

That girl’s been spoiled by her parents since she was little, she barely did any work at home, can she handle working in a restaurant?”

Sun Lifang sized up Liu Haiyun from head to toe. These words carried a tone of hostility.

Basically, it meant they came to watch a spectacle. Sun Lifang raised an eyebrow and said, “Big sister, your worries are unnecessary. See? The whole room is full of customers.

They all came for Xu Ying’s cooking skills. You don’t know how delicious the food Xu Ying makes is.

To say some people are just born with talent, they are smart and don’t need to learn, they just teach themselves.”

Liu Haiyun didn’t hear the result she wanted; instead, she heard praise for Xu Ying, which made her face turn green with anger.

Zhou Huiru hurried to smooth things over, “Then Hai Yun and I are really fortunate, just in time to taste Xu Ying’s cooking skills.”

“What would you like to eat?” Sun Lifang’s attitude changed instantly; her smiling face turned into the haughty demeanor a State-owned Restaurant server should have.

“I’ll have a chicken bao, another with chives and egg, and a bowl of spicy soup.”

“I’ll have the same,” Liu Haiyun said and left huffily.

No sooner had the two of them sat down at their seats than Liu Haiyun spat disdainfully on the floor, “Look at her arrogant face, as if being a server is something impressive.”

“Having a job means having ability; let’s just talk less, be like Xu Ying, lacking manners,” Zhou Huiru was also annoyed.

They had been talking at the door for a long time, and not once did that girl Xu Ying come out to greet them. Truly impolite.

After taking the order, Sun Lifang waved at Xu Ying, who was cooking.

“What’s up?” Xu Ying came over with a spatula in hand.

Sun Lifang pointed at the two sitting in the distance and said, “Are those two from your village? That one says she’s your sister-in-law.

The other one started off by saying you can’t cook, but I gave her a piece of my mind.”

Were these things done by someone who had a good relationship with her?

Xu Ying felt nothing for Liu Haiyun, but upon seeing Zhou Huiru, she disdainfully curled her lips, “Don’t bother with them, we’re not familiar with her family.”

Sun Lifang leaned over the serving window, “That woman is really something, coming to the restaurant to criticize your cooking, she’s got no shame.”

Xu Ying scoffed. It was just jealousy of her doing well. According to Zhou Huiru’s way of thinking, she must have assumed Xu Ying got her job in the restaurant because of her father’s connections.

“Who cares about her, whether I can cook or not, everyone knows. Let her say whatever she wants.” Xu Ying turned and went back to her tasks.

Sun Lifang collected the order and shouted loudly, “Table 6, your bao are ready. Come and get them quickly, dilly-dallying will kill you, you’ll hold up the people behind. Do you take responsibility for that?

Time is money, efficiency is life. With all your dithering, you delay others from ordering, preventing them from eating quickly and getting back to their jobs.

Are you responsible for delaying everyone’s spirit to work passionately? Pick up your food quickly.”
