53 Chapter 53 Take On The Job
“I see. Let me take over it since you’re sweating heavily.” After saying that, Manager Liu went forward and took the cart.
Zhou Ying accepted his offer after hearing this, as her waist was really sore.
After the two arrived at the restaurant, Zhou Ying didn’t even take the money and ran straight to the bathroom.
When she came out, she saw Chef Zhou scolding a waiter with a gloomy face.
Zhou Ying listened for a while and knew that the quality of the tofu was too poor. She went up to look and found it was still okay. It was just that the filtering wasn’t done well, and the taste would be off.
Chef Zhou didn’t have the mood to continue scolding when he saw Zhou Ying. Instead, he said, “Alright, go to the market and see if you can buy good tofu.
“Also, remember to tell Mr. Zhang that if something similar happens again in the future, our restaurant will no longer use his tofu.”
“I heard that Mr. Zhang is not here anymore. His nephew sent over this tofu.”
“He’s gone. How?”
“I heard that he fell in his yard at dawn. It was too late when anyone else realized that, so…”
“Since that’s the case, let’s change to another store in the future?”
“Can I take over?” Zhou Ying asked.
She asked because there was nothing to do at home besides washing those bean sprouts. She could kill time if she took over making their tofu, and it didn’t matter how much she could profit from this.
Chef Zhou looked at her in surprise and asked, “Then tell me why I don’t want this tofu.”
“It’s mainly because the filtering process is too sloppy, and it’s a little overcooked. It will make the tofu hard and rough, which will affect the taste.”
Chef Zhou nodded in satisfaction. “Then make one for me to try tomorrow. I’ll let you take over the work if it’s good.”
At this point, he handed her the money bag in his hand and said, “Oh right, this is the money for the bean sprouts. Also, Manager Liu wanted me to pass you a message. He wants you to deliver the vegetables earlier if possible.”
“Alright, I’ll leave you to your work then.” Zhou Ying took the money bag, nodded, then turned around and pushed the small cart out.
After leaving Hongyun Restaurant, Zhou Ying went straight back. On the way, she bought a pound of salted pork from the grocery store. When she saw someone selling dried preserved vegetables, she purchased two pounds of them and planned to make some steamed pork later.
On the other hand, Gu Chengrui followed the woman to her house and found out they were of the same clan and had the surname Gu. However, they were almost five times removed and distant relatives at best.
He greeted the people guarding the door and went straight into the patient’s room. After carefully examining the injured man, he found that although the injury was severe, it was not fatal.
It was just that he had lost too much blood, and it looked scary. He had to be treated as soon as possible, or he would die of blood loss.
He retreated and said, “I’ll say the same thing. I’m only 30% confident. If you want me to proceed, I will try my best, but if… just don’t blame me.”
“Sure, please treat him as long as there’s a glimmer of hope.” The woman hurriedly nodded.
“How much silver do you need?” A middle-aged man asked worriedly.
“We’re from the same clan, so the treatment fee is free, but you’ll have to pay for the medicine.” After saying this, Gu Chengrui pondered for a moment and said, ” If everything goes well, one tael of silver will be enough. Of course, you’ll still have to buy more medicine for his recovery.”
“We are in debt to you, Chengrui. We’ll proceed with the treatment.” The older man sitting in the middle, who had been frowning, spoke.
“Alright, get me a pot of boiled water as soon as possible. Remember to wash the pot clean and not leave a single oil stain in it.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he asked for an oil lamp and entered the room to stop the bleeding with his silver needles.
