Looking at Yuan Yuqing with starry eyes and admiration on her face, she said lightly: "This has nothing to do with being great or not. I just did what I have always wanted to do. In life, there must be someone Goal, and then keep working hard towards this goal to achieve what you want.”

"I am much luckier than others, so I also want to do something within my ability to benefit society. In this way, I can live here with peace of mind. To put it bluntly, my starting point is also for myself, so I Can’t afford greatness.”

"I don't care. Among the peers I have come into contact with, Sister Wan Ning, you are the most powerful and have the largest vision. You are the one I admire the most."

Xu Wanning nodded matter-of-factly: "In that case, I have to work harder to live up to your admiration."

The two entered the cafeteria talking and laughing.

As soon as I entered, I met Sister Qian walking out, cursing her as she walked.

Seeing Xu Wanning and Yuan Yuqing approaching, Sister Qian looked uncomfortable for a moment, but soon she put on a smile again and said, "Comrade Xu is here to eat too."

Xu Wanning was already suspicious of Sister Qian, so she was very wary of her, but she didn't show any signs of it on her face. She just responded with a polite smile: "I'll prepare lunch for the teacher."

Hearing this, Sister Qian rolled her eyes and asked, "Comrade Xu, I want to discuss something with you. Please agree to it."

Xu Wanning's answer was precise: "Sister Qian, you'd better tell me what it is first. I also want to see if I can do it. I can't agree to you rashly."

"Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want to ask you, when you prepare meals for Mr. Yuan every day, can you also help me cook a portion? The chef in the cafeteria is from Sichuan Province, and the food he prepares is overall It’s a bit spicy and I really can’t get used to it.”

"No, I just wanted to tell him not to do it too spicy, but he rejected me. He also said that I asked for too much and scolded me. As you know, the people at our base People do some physical work, and they have to work in the fields under the scorching sun every day, which is already very hard. If you don't eat well, how can your body bear it? Don't you think so? "

Xu Wanning nodded to express her approval of Sister Qian's words. Just when Sister Qian thought she was going to agree, she refused.

"Sister Qian, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that my abilities are limited. It's hard enough to prepare a teacher's meal. Adding an extra portion will undoubtedly increase my workload. I also want to go back to the dormitory to rest after lunch. , recuperate your energy for the afternoon work. Sister Qian, I'm really sorry."

How could Sister Qian not know that this was just Xu Wanning's excuse.

If you have to cook meals for four people, why do you have to increase the workload for five people? The rice was steamed in the cafeteria, but it was just for one extra person when washing and cooking. It only took a few minutes, so why wouldn't she want to do it?

"Wan Ning, how about you..."

"Oops, sister Wanning, it's already eleven fifty-three, and grandpa will be in the cafeteria in seven minutes. If you can't cook in seven minutes, grandpa will definitely be angry later."

Yuan Yuqing said as she dragged Xu Wanning and ran towards the kitchen.

"Sister Qian, I'm really sorry, wait until next time, definitely next time!"

After entering the kitchen, Yuan Yuqing stopped, leaning on the table and breathing heavily.

Xu Wanning poured a glass of water and handed it to her, joking: "You just used the teacher as a cover, are you not afraid that the teacher will be really angry?"

"My grandpa wouldn't be so stingy. Besides, if he knew someone was blocking you and insisting on making you cook, he would probably be angrier than me! But then again, that Sister Qian has too no sense of boundaries. Right? It’s really annoying.”

"Just ignore her. Okay, I have to hurry up and cook."

"Sister Wan Ning, I have picked and washed all the vegetables according to your recipe today. You can just fry them. I will sit down and rest for a while."

"good."

Xu Wanning arrived in the kitchen and saw Yuan Yuqing cutting the vegetables, and praised her through a wall.

"Yu Qing did a good job today and knew how to cut all the ingredients separately. Although her knife skills still need to be improved, it is indeed much better than before."

"Is that so? I also think the vegetables I cut today are very good!" Yuan Yuqing trotted and rushed to Xu Wanning, but found that Xu Wanning's expression was not pretty, and the smile on her face was frozen.

Yuan Yuqing rarely saw Xu Wanning like this, so she asked cautiously: "Sister Wanning, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?"

"Yuqing, when you were preparing today's ingredients, was there anyone else around?"

Yuan Yuqing shook her head: "No, I was alone the whole time. Sister Wan Ning, what happened?"

Xu Wanning pulled Yuan Yuqing behind her and looked around the kitchen. The chef was preparing today's lunch. The two of them were so busy that they had no time to pay attention to them.

Xu Wanning felt relieved and asked Yuan Yuqing to pay attention to today's dishes.

"The dishes are all prepared by me, no problem."

Xu Wanning pulled out a pile of chopped leeks and spinach from a pile of green leafy vegetables.

"Eh? Are these leeks?" Yuan Yuqing's little face wrinkled up: "But when I was chopping vegetables today, I didn't take the leeks. Grandpa said he didn't like to eat leeks, so our family tried not to fry them as much as possible. Eat leeks. When I saw leeks today, I subconsciously didn’t take them. Why are there leeks here?”

"Not only leeks, but also spinach."

"I got the spinach. Grandpa likes spinach very much. Sister Wanning, do you have any questions?"

"Spinach itself is not a problem, but spinach cannot be eaten with leeks, because these two foods have the effect of smoothing the intestines when eaten together, and may cause diarrhea in severe cases. The teacher is old, and if he has diarrhea, it will be harmful to his body. Very disadvantageous.”

When Xu Wanning saw leeks and spinach appearing together in today's dishes, she thought someone was deliberately using this method to make the four of them who were "working on a small stove" alone feel uncomfortable.

After all, if she were not a professional chef, knew how various foods interacted with each other, and was very familiar with every ingredient, it would probably be difficult for her to find the chopped leeks and discover the conspiracy of the person who did it.

But after hearing what Yuan Yuqing said, Mr. Yuan never liked eating spinach, Xu Wanning felt that things might not be as simple as she thought.

No matter what the purpose of the person who stole the leeks was, it is not a good thing.
