Chapter 29: The Wife of the Fifties (29)

  Zhu Yun smiled and nodded. She didn’t say a word, nor did she ask him what he wanted to eat or how much he wanted to eat. She directly ordered a lot of scallion pancakes, an enamel pot of chicken noodle soup, and a plate of pickled vegetables.

  “I’ll wait for you to get off work,” Chu Shenyu glanced at her and took it over. He said softly, then took the food and went to find a place to eat.

  Zhu Yun called Qian Saozi over. Before she could say anything, she smiled and said, “Okay, Chef Xiao Zhu, I’ll do the rest. We’ll prepare all the meat and vegetables for lunch, and you can just cook two dishes.”

  “You’ve hardly taken a break since the first canteen opened. How can you be so tense all the time?”

  “You two haven’t seen each other for a month or so. You should have a good talk…”

  Young couple, Zhu Yun’s face flushed.

  Now everything is on track. Zhu Yun and the two kitchen helpers have developed a tacit understanding. Usually, they decide the menu for the next day’s three meals during dinner, which also makes it easier for the purchasing department to buy ingredients.

  Zhu Yun smiled and nodded without being pretentious, "Thank you for your hard work."

  She paid for two boiled eggs, peeled them and broke them into pieces, added balsamic vinegar, sesame oil, chili rings, bean paste, a little sugar, and a spoonful of thick and mellow sesame sauce, and mixed them evenly.

  "Hey, Chef Zhu, what delicious food are you making again? You're cooking for Mr. Chu, so there's no share for us?" The people who were getting food at the back couldn't help but speak up when they saw it.

  They knew there were many ways to eat eggs, boiled eggs, tea eggs, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, but it was the first time they saw boiled eggs mixed with pickles.

  However, they knew without thinking that it must be delicious, otherwise Chef Zhu couldn't make it for Mr. Chu alone.

  For a while, everyone clamored for a portion.

  Zhu Yun reluctantly told Xu Xiaohui how to make it. The seasonings were all ready, and there was a big pot of boiled eggs.

  The people at the back found it novel and asked for a portion, also two boiled eggs each time.

  There is no technical requirement to prepare boiled eggs. The chef at the next window can do it at a glance. He asked Zhu Yun and hung a paper sign to sell his own bowl of boiled eggs in the same way.

  The distance between the upstairs and downstairs is very close. Those who don't want to queue up will rush downstairs. After a few words, the kitchen assistants also came up in a team.

  Qian's wife and others knew that Zhu Yun was not a secretive person. Since she nodded to the chef next door, she would not make it difficult for the chef downstairs. So they prepared a few bowls of boiled eggs in front of the kitchen assistants.

  Zhu Yun changed out of her chef's uniform, washed her hands and face, and applied pearl cream on them. She looked at the fair-skinned woman in the mirror for a long time, narcissistically.

  Young people have good foundations. Even if they are severely sunburned, they can be treated with her careful care. In just two or three months, they are like a different person.

  The beautiful and delicate features of the woman were fully revealed, her fox eyes were rippling with water, and her thick eyelashes curled up like a fluttering butterfly, sweeping people's hearts with ripples. Her
