Cook of the 90s 10

Based on the living standards of this era, the standard of this meal wasn't low. It was simple, but the method for making this egg custard was indeed something I had never seen before. Vinegar fried cabbage, on the other hand, was a common dish, and everyone's methods were more or less the same, so the taste didn't vary much.

At first, everyone thought it was tender tofu, but upon a closer look, they realized it was egg custard. Curious, they dished up their food, which typically meant a spoonful of egg custard, a spoonful of vinegar fried cabbage, with as much rice as they wanted and steamed buns for the taking.

There were about twenty leftover buns from the morning and only three to four eggs left. I thought no one would eat them, but it turned out that the morning's buns were more popular than the noon steamed buns. It wasn't that no one wanted the eggs; they were just too embarrassed to take them, so Gong Mingxia took the initiative to give each of the early-arriving women one.

The buns were gone in no time, and it turned out the steamed buns were the slowest to go. But seeing that all the leftovers had been taken care of, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The innovative way of eating egg custard also received unanimous praise: "Sister, your cooking is really good, so capable!"

"Sister, whoever marries you will be so lucky. With your cooking skills, I'd never want to eat out again."

As soon as he finished speaking, the woman next to him glared at him and said, "If you don't know how to talk, then don't open your mouth, you fool!"

If her man was reliable, why would she have to come out to work with her child? What an idiotic man to be in her family. It's frustrating, really.

She then apologized to Gong Mingxia with embarrassment, "I'm sorry, Sister, he's a bit of an idiot. Please don't take it personally."

Under the stern gaze of his wife, the man who had spoken earlier began to realize what he had done wrong. His dark face flushed red, he gave Tangyuan a sheepish smile and left with his head down and bowl in hand.

Gong Mingxia couldn't really explain, so she just responded to everyone with a light smile, politely saying "Thank you" when receiving praise and compliments.

When Wang Hao returned, the workers had almost finished eating, and they helped Wang Hao stack the vegetables bought back into the storeroom before he took his daughter to the kitchen to eat.

Ever since mentioning paying money last time, she had been boldly serving her daughter food. However, since the little girl was only five years old and didn't eat much, she only gave her a little rice, a spoonful of egg custard, and refrained from serving vinegar fried cabbage, worrying that it would go to waste if her daughter couldn't finish it.

Gong Mingxia ate half a bowl of rice with a spoonful of egg custard and a spoonful of vinegar fried cabbage. After mother and daughter finished their meal and drank a spoonful of tofu soup, there were no leftovers; they practiced the "clean plate campaign" starting from a young age.

It was probably around one o'clock in the afternoon when the workers finally finished their lunch. The tofu soup was drunk, the rice eaten, and the dishes cleared, leaving only about one steamer of steamed buns.

Looking at the steamed buns, Gong Mingxia smiled at Wang Hao and said, "Master, I have an idea for tonight's meal."

Wang Hao was quite satisfied with Gong Mingxia's skills, "Good job, I haven't had the chance to praise you yet; you did so well on your own. It seems you're not only experienced but also a thoughtful person. Don't worry, the people know what's good; if you do well, the boss will reward you!"

At this point, he suddenly dropped a hint to Gong Mingxia in a mysterious tone.

"The boss has taken on a high-rise bridge project outside. I was wondering who to send over there, but now you seem to be a good fit. There are fewer people there, at least half less than here, but the pay is one thousand. Would you like to go? If you do, I'll speak for you. If not, I'll look for someone else."

Gong Mingxia never expected that on her first day on the job, after just preparing two meals, she would be "kicked out of the game"?
