Married the Tough Guy After Transmigrating

Chapter 126: Chapter 127: Go Fishing for Big Fish

After the two of them finished their meal, they left with laughter and banter.

Gu Fuying was ecstatic, “It was my eldest sister-in-law stirring up trouble, she’s just afraid that I’ll marry someone better than her cousin, so she tried to find someone worse for me.”

But Gu Fuying wasn’t someone who could be easily bullied, and she also had a beautiful and wise friend, so she wasn’t going to be easily manipulated!

“Your aunt is really mean,” Xu Qiuye said. She had never seen such a disgusting person.

Xu Ying, however, wasn’t surprised by this. Human nature is like that, jealous and competitive, fearing others might live better lives.

“Wait a moment, you two. I made some delicious food last night and brought some for you to try today,” Xu Ying said with a smile.

As soon as Gu Fuying and Xu Qiuye heard about food, their eyes lit up.

The food she made was always delicious.

Xu Ying ran to the kitchen. When Sun Lifang saw her finally back, she felt a bit jealous: “You finally deigned to come back. You don’t talk to me at all when your friend is here.”

Xu Ying chuckled and teased, “Oh my, how sour, you’re making me pucker up.”

Sun Lifang immediately got angry, “You’re mocking me.”

Xu Ying pulled out some duck dishes, “Here, to make it up to you.”

As soon as Sun Lifang saw the duck, she brightened up with a smile. She had tasted it in the morning, and the meat was incredibly delicious, spicy and fragrant, addictively spicy that made you crave more.

Now seeing her taking out the duck again, Sun Lifang unhesitatingly took several pieces.

Gao Guihua saw what Xu Ying had in her hand, and shamelessly wanted some too, but Xu Ying refused this time. She still needed it for her sisters, and had other important uses for the rest.

Seeing she wasn’t allowed to have any, Gao Guihua immediately got angry and cursed, “Stingy!”

“I’m stingy, then don’t eat it! I don’t know who ate the most this morning, really heartless,” Xu Ying shot back directly.

Gao Guihua’s face turned pale then flushed.

Liu Guohua watched this with glee; he had noticed just how sharp Xu Ying’s tongue could be.

“Try it, see if it’s delicious,” Xu Ying brought out her treasure.

Gu Fuying was all ears; she had just heard Xu Ying arguing about this food with that woman.

“Well, I must try it properly, it must be delicious if it drove that woman to have so little self-control.”

Chasing after food that just showed up, truly shameless.

Accepting food from others counts as kindness; pushing your face forward to ask for it is just embarrassing.

Gu Fuying took a duck wing, took a bite, and the sweet, spicy flavor exploded on her tastebuds.

She was shocked, “It’s so delicious, sweet with a kick, really flavorful!”

She knew Xu Ying would never disappoint when she got involved.

Xu Qiuye also fell in love with the taste after one bite; even though it was so spicy her eyes turned red, she couldn’t stop eating.

Both ate while gasping and tearing up, but they just couldn’t stop.

Seeing this, Xu Ying was even more amused, it appeared the duck was quite popular.

Director Hong usually came to the restaurant once a week, and judging by the time, he should be here this afternoon.

Xu Ying was already eager to see Director Hong.

But she waited until almost the end of the afternoon when Director Hong finally arrived. Seeing him, Xu Ying was thrilled, and ran out to him with the duck dishes.

Seeing this, Gao Guihua snorted coldly, “Humph, she’s the epitome of pretense, always sucking up to people.”

Gao Xianghong also disdained, this little girl, usually so plain, was unexpectedly good at cozying up to the bosses.

“Big sister, do you think that girl will take over Chef Ge’s position after he retires?” Gao Xianghong said this with a touch of jealousy—after all, the head chef’s salary was quite high.

Gao Guihua curled her lips, “How old is she, to be a head chef? I guess they’ll transfer someone from another store.”

Even if the leaders appointed her, Gao Guihua would be the first to object.

Hearing this, Sun Lifang got angry, “Why shouldn’t Yingying be qualified? In our county, aside from Master Ge, she’s the best cook.

Without Yingying, would our business be this good this year? Would you all receive bonuses every month?”

Gao Guihua was unconvinced, “What does my bonus have to do with her? I received it for my dedicated work and it’s a reward from the leadership.”

Sun Lifang didn’t want to argue, “Xu Ying is totally qualified to take over for Chef Ge.”

Just then, Chef Ge happened to be passing by. Sun Lifang directly asked him, “Chef Ge, the bonuses we’ve been getting these last two months, aren’t they because the business has been good?”

Chef Ge nodded, and Gao Guihua’s face turned green. She turned away angrily, grabbing a cloth as she left.

Sun Lifang still shouted behind her, “If you’re so capable, then don’t leave!”

Meanwhile, Xu Ying handed some spicy duck dish to Director Hong, who didn’t often eat spicy food. The first bite almost brought tears to his eyes.

At first, he didn’t think much of it, but the more he ate, the tastier it became. After a few bites, Director Hong had also fallen for this spicy duck dish.

It was good, but for someone who didn’t like spicy food, it was almost tear-inducing.

Xu Ying felt a bit embarrassed, “Director Hong, I didn’t know you couldn’t handle spicy food. I’m sorry.

This is my new duck dish. How is it? The duck can be made in five-spice non-spicy, mild spicy, or super spicy versions.

What I made here is super spicy, which not everyone can handle, but mild spicy would be just right for those who can’t eat spicy food.”

“It’s quite tasty. Are all of these for me?” asked Director Hong, not hesitating to help himself.

His wife loved spicy food, and bringing it home would definitely make her happy.

Seeing Director Hong eagerly taking the duck dish, Xu Ying pulled a smile, “If you like it, I’ll give it all to you!

How do you think it would do if we offer this duck at the restaurant?”

Director Hong nodded; this dish would definitely be popular. It’s great for whetting the appetite and satisfying cravings, and if paired with some white liquor, it would be even better.

“Alright.”

Xu Ying, hearing this, was overjoyed. She nodded, preparing to ‘mark it down’ and ‘hook a big fish.’

“Okay, I’ll prepare these duck dishes next week.”

Director Hong nodded. Seeing Xu Ying keeping an eye on him, he knew what was up.

Their restaurant served the people, but it also aimed to make money for the country. Since their staff, like Xu Ying, worked so hard for the restaurant, it’s only right for the leadership not to disappoint their subordinates.

If you want the horse to run fast, you’ve got to feed it well.

Director Hong looked at Xu Ying and declared, “If your duck dishes can create new revenue for the restaurant, I’ll give you a bonus. Earn ten yuan and you’ll get a bonus of ten cents; earn a hundred and you’ll get one yuan…”

Upon hearing this, Xu Ying was so thrilled she nearly lost her sense of direction. She saluted Director Hong excitedly, “I guarantee to complete the task and won’t let the leaders down.”

Director Hong saw her enthusiasm and couldn’t help but smile wryly—the girl was indeed a little money-grabber.

With a goal in mind, Xu Ying was in high spirits, almost as if she could see the money waving at her.

Procuring duck wasn’t easy, though; she needed to get them from a specialized farm.

There was no farm in their county; she had to go to the neighboring county.

Upon hearing Xu Ying had found him a big job to do, Xiao Zhang’s face turned bitter, “My dear sister, you really know how to keep your brother busy.”
