Chapter 27: Going to Find Fu Liye 

Ji Xiaoyue went to deliver goods to Jianguo Restaurant the next day and said to Wang Xiong, “Brother Wang, I have a few new dishes, I want you to try them.

I brought all the ingredients today, I’ll borrow your kitchen to make a few dishes for you.”

Wang Xiong heard Ji Xiaoyue’s words and smiled, “Little girl, you’re so young, you want to be a chef?”

Ji Xiaoyue shook her head, “Brother Wang, you’re joking, I just want to make money for my family. I want to go to college.”

Wang Xiong looked at Ji Xiaoyue and nodded, “You were found by my brother, you must have a future. Okay, there are a few big leaders here today. I’ll give you this opportunity, don’t let me down, okay?”

Ji Xiaoyue nodded, “Okay!”

Wang Xiong took Ji Xiaoyue inside. As he led her in, he smiled and said to her, “You’re lucky, you always meet important leaders.”

Ji Xiaoyue politely flattered him, “Where’s my luck? It’s the restaurant’s reputation, whenever there are important leaders, they will come to Jianguo Restaurant.”

Wang Xiong laughed heartily.

He really liked this little girl, she was like a honey-tongued sweet talker.

He helped her before because of her brother, but now he genuinely wanted to help this little girl.

She loved to flatter, but she always hit the nail on the head, it wasn’t exaggerated but it made people feel comfortable.

When they arrived at the kitchen, he pointed at Ji Xiaoyue, “Your dishes are as usual, let Comrade Ji Xiaoyue make a few more dishes, she brought her own ingredients.”

The chefs knew Ji Xiaoyue, they smiled and said, “Comrade Ji Xiaoyue, do you have new dishes again?”

Ji Xiaoyue grinned and said to them, “I just want to try out my new dishes to see how they’re received.”

The chefs also liked Ji Xiaoyue.

This little girl always brought them things, although they weren’t very expensive, but they liked her.

Ji Xiaoyue made sour fish and spicy blood soup, and added a stir-fried liver and kidney.

People in this county liked spicy food, they all loved spicy food, that’s why her braised pig head meat and cold dishes were so popular.

She brought all the ingredients, she just needed the chefs to process them.

When she finished cooking, the chefs saw the oily dishes and their stomachs rumbled with hunger.

Ji Xiaoyue made a lot more, one portion for the big leaders, and one portion for the chefs to try.

They were all cooking just now, and because they were serving big leaders, no one dared to be careless.

They came over when they smelled the aroma.

After taking a bite, they all turned to get rice.

These dishes were so good with rice.

Ji Xiaoyue saw the chefs eating happily and felt more confident.

In this era, people didn’t have many ways to cook dishes, they mostly stewed and fried, there weren’t many stir-fried dishes.

Ji Xiaoyue looked at the time, it wasn’t early, she had promised Fu Liye yesterday that she would go to the compound to see the children.

She said to the chefs, “I’m leaving now, let Brother Wang tell me tomorrow how the big leaders liked it.”

The chefs nodded.

When Wang Xiong came back, Ji Xiaoyue had already left.

He asked the chefs, “Where is she?”

“Comrade Xiaoyue has already left. She said she’ll come back tomorrow.” The chefs were also eating.

Wang Xiong saw the leaders eating with oil on their mouths, he was hungry too. Seeing that Ji Xiaoyue had made a few more dishes, he also got some rice to eat.

These dishes weren’t expensive, but they were really delicious.

Their restaurant only had a few dishes, and they did need to add some new dishes.

The people who came were the mayor and the secretary of the county party committee, they all praised Ji Xiaoyue’s dishes.

They even called Wang Xiong over to ask the names of these dishes. Luckily, he had asked Ji Xiaoyue before serving them, so he could tell them.

They finished all the dishes Ji Xiaoyue cooked in the kitchen.

Ji Xiaoyue delivered the pig head meat and cold dishes today and asked her uncle and cousin to go back first.

She could only walk to the compound.

It wasn’t a holiday today, the guard still recognized Ji Xiaoyue, but she didn’t meet Ji Dahai’s family.

“Are you going to see Chief Fu’s two children?” Fu Liye had specifically told the guard today.

Ji Xiaoyue brought the guard some pig head meat and cold dishes.

Ji Xiaoyue knew how to get along with people, she knew that she needed to build a good relationship with the guard, and she also knew that he was the one who knew the most, and she could ask him about things in the future.

“Grandpa, take this, it’s nothing special.” She put two specially packed lunch boxes in front of the old man.

The guard saw the pig head meat and remembered its taste, he kept thanking her, “My grandson loves it.”

After giving him the food, Ji Xiaoyue went into Fu Liye’s house.

The guard saw Ji Xiaoyue enter the compound, he hesitated for a moment and pulled Ji Xiaoyue, he said hesitantly, “Are you dating Chief Fu? A few days ago, your parents came to see Chief Fu.

I heard from Aunt Zhang, who takes care of Chief Fu’s children, that they didn’t say anything nice. Your parents… how can they not know the difference between near and far?”

Ji Xiaoyue thanked the guard and went inside.

The guard looked at Ji Xiaoyue’s back and sighed: Having such a biased and clueless pair of parents, this child is unlucky.

Ji Xiaoyue arrived at Fu Liye’s house and saw him teaching the two children to write.

The door was open, he patiently taught the two children how to hold their pens and write.

Ji Xiaoyue stood at the door and watched this scene, a smile curled up at the corner of her lips.

She knocked on the door.

The three of them looked up at Ji Xiaoyue.

The two children happily rushed towards her. She hugged them and asked with a smile, “Did you miss your sister?”

The two children nodded obediently.

“I want to eat the buns that Sister made.” Niuniu said affectionately, hugging Ji Xiaoyue’s neck.

Ji Xiaoyue smiled and nodded, “Okay, Sister will make some for you before leaving.”

The two children nodded obediently, then they looked at each other and said to Ji Xiaoyue, “Sister, we’ll go play now, you and Uncle can chat for a while.”

Fu Liye grabbed the children, “Why do you call me Uncle and her Sister?”

The two children grinned, “Didn’t you tell me that you call pretty people Sister and call men Uncle?”

Ji Xiaoyue burst into laughter when she heard the children’s words.

The two children made a face at Fu Liye, then skipped away.

After the children left, Ji Xiaoyue said to Fu Liye, “The children are much more lively and happy.”

The two children had been with Fu Liye for a short time, and they had already gained a lot of weight, which showed that Fu Liye treated them very well.

Fu Liye grinned and said to her, “Comrade Ji Xiaoyue, let’s go buy some things for the children this afternoon. I’m a man, I don’t know how to buy clothes for children, especially for girls.”

Ji Xiaoyue nodded, “Okay.”

After she agreed, she suddenly asked Fu Liye, “Did Ji Dahai and his wife come to see you?

What did they say?”

Fu Liye was stunned, then he smiled faintly, “They just asked about our relationship.

They probably… still care about you.”
