Chapter 31: Everybody's Here
"Cousin."
Ma Jinglan's voice sounded from behind her.
Xia Youzhi turned his head and saw Ma Jinglan pulling the cart hard.
She was surprised, "Jinglan, why did you pull the cart out by yourself?" β
After speaking, he hurriedly stepped forward.
"I waited at home for a while, and I didn't see you coming, so I wanted to pull you over." Ma Jinglan smiled shyly.
Who would have thought that not far from pulling the cart, I saw my cousin standing there with a handsome boy.
"Just missed the minute." As he spoke, Xia Youzhi was about to take over the handrail.
"I'll do it." Ding Xiang grabbed the handrail of the cart.
Belch......
"Are you okay?"
Xia Youzhi looked at Ding Xiang, who had fine skin and tender meat, and couldn't help but be suspicious.
Ding Xiang didn't say a word, pulled the car, and ran straight forward.
directly responded to Xia Youzhi's words with actions.
He's good!
"Cousin......"
Ma Jinglan looked at Xia Youzhi with a confused expression.
Xia Youzhi complained about Ding Xiang in his heart, but he still explained gently on his face, "This brother is a good friend of my cousin, it's okay." β
As he spoke, he chased after Ma Jinglan.
When they returned to the gate of the vegetable market, they saw Ma Dong dancing with his eyebrows and talking about Xia Youzhi.
In addition to Xia Mu and Li Wei, there was also a fat uncle in his fifties standing next to him.
It was the fat uncle who threatened to come to the queue early last time.
Several people listened with relish.
"Ma Dong, what are you talking about? Hurry up and help. Xia Youzhi shouted loudly, resisting the urge to roll his eyes.
"Sister, tell me about your heroic deeds." Ma Dong stepped forward with a grin.
Xia Mu and Li Wei also hurriedly took a hand.
"Yes, you're so good." Xia Mu sighed.
Xia Youzhi...... Well?!
"Mom, don't listen to his nonsense. He said that I can go up to the mountains to fight tigers, do you believe it here? Xia Youzhi sneered.
"That's right, you're really good." Ding Xiang didn't say a word.
"That's it, young man, don't be modest, if you are not excellent, then there will be no excellent middle school in our city." Levi added.
The fat uncle on the side nodded, and said to Xia's mother approvingly, "Big sister, this girl in your family is really amazing." I didn't expect the foreign dialect to win the national award.
Why don't our townships publicize it? So that everyone's children can also learn and learn, you have really cultivated a good daughter. β
As soon as the words fell, the three of them were slightly embarrassed knowing the inside story.
When Xia Youzhi won the award, he was still in the Song family.
Xia Mu smiled slightly, "Big brother, thank you for the compliment." β
Thinking that her daughter is so good, Xia Mu is both relieved and sad.
Such an excellent daughter should only be cultivated by a big family like the Song family, and if it were her own family, she might not be very good at a young age.
For the first time, Xia Mu felt the huge gap between the two families.
Youzhi returned to Xia's house, delaying her, right?
Xia Youzhi looked at Xia Mu's expression and knew what she was thinking.
"Uncle, no one can say for sure what is going on in this competition. There were few people who participated that year, and I just won the award. Nothing remarkable. Xia Youzhi said lightly.
"Hey, you girl is so modest, other people's awards are very difficult to tell the world, you are good, you are still hiding." The fat uncle said with a smile.
"Okay, next time I'll tell the world, this is your braised pork knuckle and fat sausage, I gave you an extra four taels, the answer should be given to you, no one else has it today, you have, fortunately you came early, so I saved me from explaining to others." Xia Youzhi said with a smile.
"Uncle smelled the fragrance of your braised pork and came. I've had a good nose since I was a child, so now I can only be a cook, hahaha. The fat uncle smiled heartily.
Cook?!
Xia Youzhi suddenly became interested.
"Where do you become a cook?" Xia Youzhi asked.
"I work as a chef in a mine, but I have been cooking for decades, and I have never eaten this method of lo-mei. The fat uncle said bluntly.
"Mine, isn't that Uncle Li's factory?" Ma Dong was surprised.
This town...... Small indeed.
Acquaintances can be seen everywhere.
"Uncle Li? Do you mean Director Lee Kwang Shen? The fat uncle wondered.
"Yes, he is the son of Director Li." Ma Dong pointed at Levi.
Levi smiled and nodded.
"Oh, it turned out to be the son of Director Li." The fat uncle said with a smile, "Yesterday, when Director Li went to the canteen to eat at noon, he asked me if I could make braised pork. β
He said, why did the factory director suddenly mention this.
"That's really the flood that washed the Dragon King Temple." Ma Dong said with a grin.
"Ma Dong, don't mess with words." Xia Youzhi complained.
She used to think that Ma Dong's culture could enter the first class?
Later, I found out that the language is really bad, but the science is really good.
"Haha, sister, it's almost the same meaning, don't fight and don't know each other." Ma Dong said with a smile that didn't care.
When he heard "don't fight, don't know each other", Xia Youzhi completely gave up arguing with him.
"Uncle, I had an idea before, but I didn't have a way, and now I just mentioned it, and I want you to see if it's feasible." Xia Youzhi said with a smile.
Strike while the iron is hot.
"Girl, my surname is Ma, Ma Dazhong, you can call me Uncle Dazhong." Ma Dazhong smiled and said, "What did you just say?" β
"To tell you the truth, I want to provide this lo-mei to your factory." Xia Youzhi said with a smile.
Ma Dazhong was stunned for a moment.
Supplied to their factory?
"This ...... No one did this before, there was no outside food in the canteen, and the supply was all fresh, which was the finished product...... Not really. Ma Dazhong hesitated.
Moreover, he also wants to buy it back and study it himself.
Although the taste may be poor, he still has confidence in himself.
Xia Youzhi naturally saw Ma Dazhong's thoughts.
She didn't debunk it.
In the early nineties, in order to ensure food safety, no one in the factory canteen accepted cooked food.
But she's going to break that precedent.
She could have asked Levi's father for help in the first place, but there would definitely be opposition in the factory.
First of all, it is the cook in the canteen.
She knows the psychology of these people too well.
They are reluctant to admit their own shortcomings.
This is a disadvantage.
So...... Let the chef convince first, and then the rest of the matter will be twice as effective with half the effort.
"It's okay, Uncle Dazhong. You go back and taste this lo-mei first, I didn't buy it last time, if you think it's okay, you can help you mention it, if not, you improve it, after all, this is the taste of the southern coast, and it may not be suitable for us. Xia Youzhi said with a smile.
These words made Ma Dazhong's heart feel comfortable.
"Okay, you girl is humble. But don't say it, this taste, it's not necessarily suitable for our local taste, I have been cooking for decades, and I know a lot about our tastes, I'll go home and try it, can I give you some advice. Ma Dazhong said with a smile.
"Okay, then thank Uncle Dazhong in advance." Xia Youzhi said with a smile.
Looking at the back of Ma Dazhong riding away, Ma Dong rolled his eyes, "Although they are all surnamed Ma, I still have to say that this Uncle Dazhong will definitely be slapped in the face." β
It was rare for everyone to agree with Ma Dong's statement.
"Youzhi, do you want me to mention it to my dad?" Levi asked.
"Well, if you can mention it to my uncle that it's the best, you'll do me a great favor." Xia Youzhi said with a smile.
"Hey, don't say that yet, I don't know if it will work out yet." Levi smiled and scratched his head.
"It's okay, it's done, if it doesn't work, I'll find a way." Xia Youzhi said with relief.
"Then our Levi must be fine, sister, you can rest assured."
Ma Dong hugged Li Wei, and the two were fighting.
Xia Mu smiled quietly beside her.
β¦β¦
"Minjing, why don't you go over?" Li Mei asked incomprehensibly.
Her mother asked them to come to the vegetable market early in the morning to buy lo-mei.
I'm afraid that if it's too late, everyone else will rob it up.
Before she reached the gate of the vegetable market, Min Jing suddenly stopped and pulled her to hide under the big banyan tree.
It made her confused.
Song Minjing ignored Li Mei's question, and stared at the person in front of her.
Xia Youzhi?!
It's her again!
Looking at the scene in front of her, Song Minjing was a little angry.
Xia Youzhi was talking to a fat uncle in his fifties, and next to him stood Xia Mu and the "Three Musketeers" of No. 1 Middle School?!
Looking at Xia Mu, Song Minjing's eyes were a little complicated.
After comparing the ruthlessness of the Song family, she actually missed Xia Mu a little in her heart.
The Song family has not been looking for her, and she couldn't help but call home yesterday.
Her mother said coldly, "If you want to go back, go back quickly, if you don't go back, stay outside, I will give birth to your daughter." β
These words kept her awake all night.
She couldn't figure out her mother's true intentions, so after thinking about it, she should hurry back to Song's house.
But I didn't expect to oversleep in the morning, so I had to wait for tomorrow's bus.
Now that she saw that Xia Mu looked at Xia Youzhi so lovingly, how could she not be angry.
There is also the "Three Musketeers" in the middle school, usually she greets her, and everyone ignores her, but now she is revolving around Xia Youzhi.
The more Song Minjing looked, the more jealous she became.
How do you feel like things are getting out of hand?
What she didn't know was that in her previous life, Xia Youzhi was reluctant to the Song family and hurt the Xia family.
It is Xia Youzhi's dead face that brings out her well-behaved and obedient with mediocre grades and ordinary appearance.
But now that Xia Youzhi is no longer messing around, the Song family naturally sees her mediocrity.
And in the Song family...... The last thing they need is mediocrity.
"Minjing." Li Mei looked at Song Minjing with a hideous face with some fear.
She felt as if Min Jing was really ...... It's changed.
Li Mei's words pulled Song Minjing's thoughts back all of a sudden.
"Aren't we going to buy braised pork? Let's go. Song Min said gloomily.
So saying, he walked to the entrance of the market.
She wanted to see what the gang would do to her.
She is the daughter of the Song family.
And she Xia Youzhi is not the lady of the sky for a long time!
This time, she's going to stomp her self-esteem under her feet.
Li Mei didn't dare to think about it, and hurried to catch up.
At this time, Uncle Dazhong had already left, and it was still early, so Xia Mu and Ma Jinglan lit a fire in the coal stove.
Xia Youzhi was a little helpless, but he still let the three of them fight around.
Isn't it naΓ―ve?
Xia Youzhi was about to roll his eyes, when footsteps came from behind him.
"It's been a long time, why are you all here?"
A pretended sweet voice sounded from behind him.
Xia Youzhi only felt stiff all over, and felt that the blood was flowing backwards.
Song Minjing?!
