Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Successful in Charge of the Kitchen
As soon as Xu Ying finished cooking one dish, someone carried the dish to the room where Director Chen and the others were dining.
There were six dishes in total, and Xu Ying got every single one right.
The continuous fragrance filled the kitchen, and seeing the business partners enjoying their meals, Director Chen knew that the deal was nearly sealed.
Sure enough, after a warm reception, they finally opened up.
Director Chen, overwhelmed with joy, couldn't wait to find Xu Ying after it ended, and handed her the prearranged ten yuan.
"Xiao Xu, you did a great job this time. Here's the money I promised you; take it." His shiny bald head was particularly bright today.
He actually wanted to suggest that Xu Ying work at the State-owned Restaurant, but he remembered that Master Ge was the head chef there and they didn't need more staff, which he felt was a pity.
Xu Ying took the money, grinning from ear to ear, "Thank you, Director Chen, if you need cooking in the future, please contact me."
This time, she didn't only earn ten yuan but also unlocked two new recipes.
Absolutely delightful.
Humming a tune, Xu Ying was about to leave when the canteen chef stopped her, winking and saying, "Xiao Xu, why don't you take all these dishes home? They were used for your cooking today."
Implicitly, no one would blame her for taking them.
Mainly because he himself was craving Xu Ying's cooking.
Upon hearing this good news, Xu Ying didn't hesitate at all and cooked everything right away.
She knew how to handle things; she packed a box of each dish, and let everyone share the rest.
"Wow, Xiao Xu's cooking is really delicious."
"I could eat it every day without getting tired."
Amidst the praises, Xu Ying then rode off on her bicycle.
She hadn't left the textile factory when she saw Director Chen and a middle-aged man in work clothes boasting to each other, "Ah, Director Chen really did a great job this time, securing such a big contract. The factory manager will surely praise you."
Director Chen chuckled, "Compared to Accountant Xu, I fall far behind. If it weren't for your diligent work and sharp accounting skills, our factory wouldn't shine as it does. To speak of brilliance, it's really Accountant Xu who stands out."
There was a double meaning in Director Chen's words; though he praised Accountant Xu's excellent financial management, he was actually mocking him for being too calculative, well aware of Accountant Xu's vanity.
Today, not only had Xu Ying unlocked two new recipes, but she had also obtained several feet of fabric, all in colors of this era.
As she rode, Xu Ying was puzzled. In fact, this color of fabric wasn't available in her space; at first glance, it was clear the system had swapped it.
"System, get out here!"
[System, please mind your language!]
"I'm asking you, what's the deal with the fabric color?"
The system affectionately explained, [In order to prevent the fabric colors in the space from differing too much from this era and exposing the host to danger, the system thoughtfully exchanged it to match the colors of this era.
Shouldn't the host be grateful to the system? Why question my integrity like this?]
Xu Ying's mouth twitched, a dog system with integrity, really thought of itself as human.
"System, why do other systems have a mall exchange feature, but mine doesn't? Don't tell me you're a level lower?"
Upon hearing this, the system got unsettled, the screen shimmering, [My system is the highest level. How could it not have a mall exchange feature? It's just that the host hasn't accessed it yet!]
"Open the mall exchange feature."
The system put on a miserable face, and the screen changed instantly.
Xu Ying blew up and revealed the system's hidden incompetencies, just as she anticipated. Upon opening the system, she discovered the multicolored fabric in her space, which was pricier than the monochromatic fabric of this era.
"System, what's this about?" Xu Ying waited for it to fess up.
The system whined, [Please don't misunderstand, host. I had no intention of embezzling the host's property. The extra money has already been converted into points for the host.
Look at the top right corner, the points are from the excess money from this time, which can be used to purchase items in the mall.]
Satisfied, Xu Ying nodded her head. The dog system tried to be cunning with her, and it still had ways to go.
After all, it was just artificial intelligence and couldn't match their human brains.
Flushed with happiness, Xu Ying pedaled her way home, suddenly feeling more hopeful about life.
"Mom, Mom, I'm back."
Hearing her voice, Mrs. Xu hurried out of the courtyard, seeing the items behind her daughter's bicycle, she guessed her daughter must have finished her tasks.
