Chapter 211 - All they know is to bully her! (4)
Edited by: Lulu
When the two arrived in the kitchen, they saw Chef Meng struggling to pick up the noodles with the chopsticks in his left hand. As much as he was struggling with the task, he did not seem impatient at all.
Chef Meng was aware that the two had walked inside of the kitchen, but he didn’t have time to pay any attention to them.
The noodles had the perfect texture. In one bite, he could feel the crunch and taste the spiciness of the dish. It was a very simple noodle dish, but one could not stop eating it.
He didn’t want to brag, but he could have three more bowls of noodles like this!
Seeing them walking inside, Tong Xuelu asked, “Would you like to try a bowl too?”
Meng Qingqing nodded quickly. “Yes!”
Meng Qingqing’s mother was going to decline, but the aroma was so strong and so appetizing that she was not able to get the word out.
Tong Xuelu gave each of them a bowl, and the two quickly wolfed the food down, looking exactly like Chef Meng.
Tan Xiaoyan was starving just from the delectable aroma. She stared intensely at the kitchen directly and gulped nonstop.
After gathering her senses, she sneered and consoled herself, saying that although it may smell good, it didn’t necessarily mean that it tasted good.
Chef Meng was finally able to finish a bowl using his left hand, and just when he was about to have a second bowl, Liu Dongchang had returned.
He laughed heartily at Liu Dongchang when he saw Liu Dongchang walking in.
Liu Dongchang, “???”
Had he gone insane from the stress?
Chef Meng pointed at Tong Xuelu and said, “I’ve found the person who’d take over for me.”
“Comrade Tong?”
Seeing that Chef Meng was pointing at Tong Xuelu, Liu Dongchang was taken aback. His face then changed and showed a ‘you-must-be-joking’ look on him.
Chef Meng harrumphed and said, “You are exactly right. My replacement will be Comrade Tong. She was the one who made this oil noodles. Give it a try, and you can see for yourself!”
Without further ado, Tong Xuelu quickly handed Liu Dongchang a bowl of oil noodles.
Truth was, Liu Dongchang had smelled the aroma the minute that he had stepped inside. He just didn’t know that Tong Xuelu was the one responsible for making the food with the mouth-watering smell.
Looking at the red noodles, he tried a bite, and immediately, his heart dropped.
He had lost.
Never mind that Tong Xuelu’s cooking was better than his sister’s, this was even better than Chef Meng’s work.
He looked at Tong Xuelu, feeling irritable.
This woman was his nemesis!
Last time she snatched the server position. This time she seized the chef position. Was she going to be after his manager position next?
Chef Meng was so happy that his brows were raised. “So, what do you think, Manager Liu? How does it taste?”
Liu Dongchang couldn’t lie and said that it didn’t taste good. With his face long, he said, “It’s not bad, but if she needs to replace you for 6 months, she is still going to need to have a chef’s license.”
Tong Xuelu said, “That won’t be a problem. I will sign up for the examination in the next couple of days.”
There was not much more that Liu Dongchang could say. Looking unhappy, he said, “Fine. I guess you can replace Chef Meng for the time being, but what about your current position?”
Liu Dongchang had not yet given up getting his big sister in. As he was just about to recommend his sister again, Tong Xuelu cut him off and said, “Meng Qingqing can continue to take my spot.”
“……”
Liu Dongchang was extremely unhappy now.
Knowing that she could stay, Meng Qingqing beamed with happiness.
Right then, Tan Xiaoyan walked inside and said, “Oh my. That dish smells amazing. It’s even better than Chef Meng’s cooking. If you ask me, what’s the point of substituting? Why not just hand the position over to Comrade Tong? Chef Meng is up there in age and will be retiring in a few years anyway. Why not just hand the position over to Comrade Tong now?”
*hit-stirrer!
That’s exactly what Tan Xiaoyan was!
It was obvious that she wanted to drive a wedge between Chef Meng and Tong Xuelu!
Tong Xuelu was just about to retort when Chef Meng had beaten her to it. “You stay out of my business. With all your evil thoughts, who would want someone like you as their wife?”
“…………”
That hit Tan Xiaoyan where it hurt the most. She looked over at Liu Dongchang, hoping that he would defend her.
Unfortunately, the latter merely looked at her and immediately turned away. It looked like he didn’t want to have anything to do with her.
Feeling aggrieved, Tan Xiaoyan burst out in tears and ran off.
A bunch of jerks! All they knew how to do was bully her!
