Chapter 204: Chapter 205: Anticipating the Dip Sauce Chapter 204: Chapter 205: Anticipating the Dip Sauce Xu Ying looked suspicious. She had only been gone a few days, yet everyone was already missing her.
When Gao Guihua saw her looking thoughtful, she imdiately brought up Sun Lifang, “Lifang has been talking about you every day. If I hadn’t bumped into you by chance, she would probably have co to look for you in the next few days.
Since I ran into you, I’ll just relay the ssage for her. Co by the restaurant after work.”
Hearing that it was Sun Lifang who missed her, Xu Ying felt relieved. That girl probably missed the als she made.
“Alright, I’ll co by after work.”
Gao Guihua nodded her head and walked away.
When Xu Ying went to the cafeteria, Old Li, this ti, was showing a completely different attitude, probably knowing that she wouldn’t interfere with his position.
As soon as Old Li saw Xu Ying, he gave her a benevolent smile of an elder, which was entirely different from the morning.
“Xiao Xu, just tell Uncle if you need anything, and Uncle will take care of it.” Old Li stood in front of Xu Ying, regretting his earlier stinginess. After all, Xiao Xu was such a good girl.
She was here to cook so that everyone could enjoy her delicious food, yet he had foolishly thought she was here to take away his job, which made him feel incredibly guilty.
The cafeteria staff, as long as they provided als for the factory workers and cleaned up the kitchen, were off for the day.
After work, Old Li specifically made a trip to the State-owned Restaurant and found out that Xu Ying hadn’t been fired, but indeed, as she had ntioned, had quit the job herself.
She loved gourt food and enjoyed seeing everyone happily eating what she cooked. She had worked at the State-owned Restaurant for a while, and everyone had tasted her specialty dishes. That’s why she wanted to change places, to let more people enjoy her cooking.
Such an ambitious girl was rare to co by.
Old Li truly admired her, and what was most important was that this girl was going to be officially appointed as the head of their R&D departnt next Monday.
Xu Ying felt at ease; she didn’t want to work every day under soone’s watchful eyes, always looking for her mistakes.
She graciously accepted Old Li’s gestures of goodwill.
“Uncle Li, I don’t need anything for now, I can handle it alone,” Xu Ying said with a smile.
Seeing this, Old Li walked around the kitchen with his hands behind his back, inspecting.
There were quite a few employees at the food factory. Xu Ying had cooked a al in the morning at the restaurant, made four dishes, and earned nearly twenty thousand points of goodwill.
She directly unlocked sixty percent of her space and also obtained ten recipes.
Once the space was fully unlocked, the subsequent goodwill could beco points to upgrade the space mall.
Dinner was similar to the morning; the rice congee was replaced with millet congee, so steam buns were made, along with five different dishes.
At dinner ti, everyone hurried to the cafeteria one after another.
“The new chef used to work at the State-owned Restaurant. I heard that the food she makes is even tastier than Chef Ge’s.
I don’t know how our factory manager convinced her to work here. We’re really lucky, no need to go to the State-owned Restaurant or spend money to eat the new chef’s food.”
“Exactly, I ate the new chef’s dishes this morning; they were delicious.”
Xu Ying had no idea how popular her cooking was at the food factory.
Now, she just wanted to unlock so dipping sauces to go with fried foods.
Fried foods with dipping sauces would definitely elevate the taste.
Particularly these items, foreigners seed to have a greater fondness for them, not to ntion so pizzas and what not, right, also sausages.
People from Huaxia also liked sausages very much, not just foreigners.
But it seed that there were still no such things as sausages now.
It was a pity she hadn’t unlocked the thod to produce sausages yet.
Otherwise, sausages paired with instant noodles, how delicious that would be.
Although the era had instant noodles, their flavors were limited, and they were also expensive.
Primarily because the production of instant noodles was not easy and the costs were high, which made the prices expensive.
“Aunt Xu, Aunt Xu, work is over,” called Xu Da several tis from the kitchen.
“Ah? Work is over.” Xu Ying ca back to her senses; almost everyone in the cafeteria had left.
She greeted Aunt Xu and gathered her things before leaving the factory.
Xu Ying headed toward the State-owned Restaurant, which had already closed by the ti she arrived.
Gao Guihua and Sun Lifang were standing at the entrance of the restaurant smiling when they saw her, “Yingying.”
Sun Lifang rushed over and gave Xu Ying a big hug.
Gao Guihua, with a smile across her face, said, “Yingying, it’s been such a long ti since we’ve seen each other, co have dinner at my place.
I’ve already told your brother-in-law; he must have finished cooking by now, and this way you and Lifang can have a good chat.”
Xu Ying looked at Gao Guihua, her expression hesitant and slightly guarded; she and Gao Guihua didn’t get along well.
Not to ntion Sun Lifang, that girl was straightforward; she spoke her mind and had offended every colleague at so point.
Gao Guihua inviting them over for dinner like this probably wasn’t a good sign.
Just as she was about to decline, Sun Lifang whispered to her, “I don’t know what’s gotten into Sister Gao lately, ever since you left the restaurant.
She’s changed completely, started working hard, and doesn’t talk much now. Everyone at the restaurant is praising her; what do you think happened to Sister Gao? Did she experience sothing?”
Xu Ying sized up Gao Guihua.
Gao Guihua felt a pinch in her heart, palms sweating, yet still managed to smile and said, “Yingying, I was wrong before, I shouldn’t have treated you guys that way.
I know my mistakes now, please give a chance.”
Sun Lifang, seeing her like this, felt sowhat sympathetic, “Why don’t we just go and see?”
Xu Ying nodded, perhaps she was being too cautious.
Seeing that the two had agreed, Gao Guihua imdiately bead with joy.
She led them toward her ho.
Gao Guihua’s family lived in the Staff Quarters of the Seasoning Factory, where her husband and her in-laws worked.
When the three arrived, Granny Gao Guihua had already finished preparing the al, and the corners of her eyes crinkled with smiles upon seeing Xu Ying and Sun Lifang arrive.
The more she looked at them, the more satisfied she beca, just as her daughter-in-law had described, both girls looked delightfully lively.
“You must be Guihua’s colleagues, right? Please, sit down and have so dinner. Guihua told that she has done so wrongs and feels very guilty.
So she insisted on inviting you over for dinner to properly apologize.”
Xu Ying and Sun Lifang took their seats and Granny Gao Guihua served the last dish and then sat down too.
Gao Guihua stood at the doorway looking around.
Xu Ying, curious, asked, “Sister Gao, is soone else coming?”
Gao Guihua smiled and replied, “A relative from my mother’s side is staying with us these days, went out in the afternoon, and I don’t know what he was up to. It’s getting late, and he still hasn’t returned.
I’m worried, him being unfamiliar with the place and all, what if he gets lost?”
“Yingying, maybe Sister Gao really knows she was wrong; let’s just give her a chance,” Sun Lifang felt Xu Ying was being too suspicious.
Her ho was not far from Sister Gao’s, and the area was surrounded by neighbors; she didn’t believe anything could happen during a alti.
