Chapter 129 The 60s (14)
"I..." Xie Wenyan didn't know what to say for a moment, because the words on the paper were completely different from the Qin Wen he knew. Reason told him that he should listen to his sister's advice, but emotion told him that he liked Qin Wen, and that it was true, and that he wanted to form a family with her.
"Second brother, I've said everything I need to say. Think about it slowly yourself. Whatever choice you make, I will respect it. After all, it's you who will spend your life with her, not me!" Wangyou got up to go eat.
Originally, she didn't intend to get involved much in her second brother's relationship. If it weren't for this encounter and her realization that her soul was different, Wangyou wouldn't have said anything.
She had done everything she could for the sake of family; the rest was up to him to choose. After all, you can't reason with a damned devil!
Watching Wangyou leave, Xie Wenyan also got up and left, but she seemed particularly lost at the moment.
"It smells so good!" As soon as she stepped out of the guesthouse, Wangyou smelled an overwhelming fragrance that made her mouth water.
Following the aroma, Wangyou and Zhang Qiling unknowingly arrived at the cafeteria.
"Who's cooking? It smells amazing!"
"It's the new head chef the cafeteria hired! The aroma is incredible!" A large crowd had gathered at the cafeteria entrance, clearly drawn by the delicious smell.
"Xiao Xie, you're here too! Perfect timing! The new head chef is really good at cooking, let's eat together!" Commander Han said with a cheerful smile.
“Alright, then I’ll gladly accept your offer!” Wangyou nodded happily.
Finally, it was lunchtime, and everyone rushed into the cafeteria like a swarm of bees, heading straight for the food serving window.
At the dinner table, Wangyou ate the delicious braised pig's trotters and the tangy and appetizing pickled fish without even looking up.
After being in this world for so many years, I'm finally getting a decent meal.
Although the food made by the robot was delicious, it lacked human warmth. She herself was practically a kitchen disaster. Although Zhang Qiling could cook now, it was only passable, and there was still a big difference between her and the master-level culinary skills.
"Uncle Han, does this master chef teach cooking? I'd like to learn a few tricks from him!" A meal reignited Wangyou's passion for cooking.
"You'd have to ask them, after all, it's their skill!"
"I'll go ask after I finish eating!"
After dinner, Wangyou went to find the head chef, and with the help of the Korean group mediating, the head chef quickly agreed.
I later learned that this Chef Cai is actually a descendant of the imperial chefs, but it's not customary to mention that these days!
Wangyou's knife skills are more than adequate, so Chef Cai didn't have much to teach her in that area. He simply taught her how to better bring out the natural flavor of the ingredients in ordinary home-style dishes.
He threw himself into his studies with unwavering confidence, forgetting all his worries.
The first time, Wangyou made Guo Bao Rou (sweet and sour pork), and then sent all the people in the kitchen who had tasted it to the hospital.
The second time, she was still determined and learned to make braised pork. It looked fine except for being a little burnt. Everyone tentatively took a bite, and then she sent them all to the hospital again.
The third time, Master Cai didn't dare to teach anything complicated. He thought that teaching a simple cold dish wouldn't cause any problems. Who would have thought that everyone who ate the cold dish that day would suffer from diarrhea?
The fourth time, Master Cai blocked the kitchen doorway directly, saying, "Little Xie, my kitchen really can't take your mess anymore. You're a person who does important things, how can you just wander around the stove!"
“Yes, Wangyou, why don’t you go back and study the blueprints? That’s what you’re good at!” Commander Han quickly chimed in.
If they let this girl continue learning, they'll surely lose their lives.
Wangyou looked at her hands. These hands could hold knives and guns, draw blueprints, and make pills, but they couldn't hold a spatula.
"Forget it, I'm not going to learn it anymore. I'm really not cut out for it!" Wangyou simply gave up.
There is nothing difficult in the world, just give up.
Seeing that Wangyou had finally left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. In all their years, this was the first time they had ever seen someone cook like they were making poison.
"Don't be sad, Wangyou. I've learned how to make it. I'll make it for you from now on!" Zhang Qiling said, secretly tugging at Wangyou's little hand.
"Sigh, I'll really have to rely on you to cook from now on!"
After staying for two more days, Xie Wenyan suddenly came to find Wangyou and said that he was not getting married and was going back to visit his family!
How did you come to this conclusion?
"I saw Qin Wen questioning that man!" Xie Wenyan said dejectedly.
"Oh, that's good, the next one will be even better!" Wangyou patted Xie Wenyan on the shoulder, still feeling gratified.
Xie Wenyan took his family visit leave and went back to Haishi with Wangyou.
Upon arriving in Haishi, Wangyou led Zhang Qiling to scavenge for bargains at the black market junkyard and the Little Red Society, where they found quite a bit of gold, silver, and various antiques.
Whenever Forget-Me-Not encounters something, it is promptly collected into the space.
If they encountered particularly bad people, they would simply send a letter of complaint and give them a black and white head (a symbol of shaved heads). In a short time, the arrogance of the Shanghai Red Cross Society was greatly suppressed.
After staying at home for a few days, Wangyou was summoned for a talk by her superiors. Given the current unclear situation and Wangyou's young age, the bigwigs ultimately decided to keep Wangyou hidden in the shadows and wait for the light to come.
So, after the one-month period ended, Wangyou took Zhang Qiling back to the small mountain village.
Everyone was happy to see Wangyou return, especially the children.
"Sister Wangyou, you're finally back!"
"Yes, has anyone missed me?"
"Yes!" the children shouted in unison.
"I miss you all too. Have you finished the homework I assigned you before I left?"
"They've all finished. The kids you assigned all completed their tasks meticulously. It's good that they're back!" Captain Chen was especially pleased.
The other families in the village also brought Wangyou and Zhang Qiling a lot of food when they saw them return; it was all homemade local specialties.
Looking at the cured meat, Wangyou suddenly missed Chef Han's cooking. "Qiling, I'm hungry. Can you cook for me?"
"Good!" Zhang Qiling had learned a lot from Master Han, and now he could finally show off his skills.
Unlike Wangyou's fierce but ultimately 0.5 score, Zhang Qiling is quite talented at cooking.
Although it wasn't 100%, it was still about 80%, so Wangyou ate very happily.
……
New people have arrived at the cowshed. The situation has become increasingly chaotic in the past two years, and even the peaceful little mountain village has inevitably been affected, but fortunately, it is all within a controllable range.
Although not all those sent to the cowshed are good people, most of them are innocent. Wangyou can only sigh about this and at most help them out occasionally, but she can't do anything more.
Captain Chen didn't make things difficult for the people in the cowshed, but of course, he wouldn't give them much preferential treatment either; at most, he just made sure they didn't starve.
But this is much better than what people who are sent elsewhere are receiving.
In this era, human life is truly worthless!
Wangyou and Zhang Qiling lived quietly in a small mountain village, teaching children knowledge and martial arts, picking mushrooms and digging for herbs in the mountains. Their days were simple yet fulfilling.
