Dong Huiying, under the alias ’Liang Dabao’, began her work as a kitchen helper at a Food As Heaven branch.
This job was excellent; at least she didn’t have to spend Silver on food, and she could always whip up sothing delicious for herself.
Just because so scoundrel had struck her once, shattering the bone in her right shoulder, she could only freely move her left hand now. Everyone unanimously believed not only was she left-handed but also disabled?
Well, disabled people do get special treatnt, so she couldn’t be bothered to fuss about it.
After the lunch rush, Dong Huiying grabbed a cloth and wiped her face.
"Helper Liang, ti to eat!" Zhang Er, another kitchen helper, called out to Dong Huiying, serving her a big bowl full of rice.
"Coming, coming!" She laughed heartily and sat down at a long table.
She and Zhang Er sat on either side of Chef Liang, and several other staff responsible for chopping joined them at the table.
One of the staff, holding a bowl of rice, said, "Hey! I still get mad whenever I think of that Helper Lin. That Lin’s actions were really underhanded."
"Alright, say no more. He’s old, and his children took him to Jinling City to retire. Nothing wrong with that. At most, he left without informing the shopkeeper, causing us so scrambling."
"Yeah, besides, see? The old goes, and the new cos. If that Lin hadn’t left, we wouldn’t have t Helper Liang!"
Ever since Dong Huiying made that Sichuan boiled fish, the staff had been impressed. They were all foodies, very much in the vein of whoever provides the goods is their benevolent mother. Previously, they flattered Chef Cheng for his delicious food, but now, they were starting to praise Dong Huiying, their words sweet like honey, hoping she’d make sothing tasty for them soday when she was in a good mood.
Dong Huiying, with a simple, earnest look, placed the bowl on the table and used her left hand to shovel rice into her mouth. She really was tired and hungry after a busy morning.
Although she couldn’t use her right hand, fortunately, she was ambidextrous with chopsticks, otherwise, it would have been torturous to just look at the food without eating it.
The other kitchen helper, Zhang Er, also joined in the gossip among the staff. "By the way, did you ntion that?"
"What did you hear?"
"Today, Sister Su went out to buy supplies and heard sothing. A few n have arrived in the city."
"What’s so special about that? People co and go through the city gates every day. Just a few n, what’s so remarkable?"
"No, no, no, I heard from Sister Su, she t a young gentleman dressed in white today. That gentleman was unusually tall, much taller than us naturally tall and sturdy won, and his scholarly air was truly strong. Sister Su said, he seed to perfectly match the saying— a gentleman as pure as jade, unparalleled in the world! His face was incredibly handso!"
The staff clicked their tongues, "Taller than us won? What a pity, but is he really that good-looking?"
"Indeed, Sister Su wouldn’t lie, right? But I heard from Sister Su that this gentleman seems to be looking for soone."
Another staff interjected, "Speaking of looking for soone, I also rember sothing. I’ve had a cough for the past few days, and when I went out at noon, I happened to see a young gentleman in red outside the pharmacy. That person, well, he was truly sothing! Enchantingly mysterious, no idea which brothel’s prostitute he belonged to, his captivating phoenix eyes, and this here,"
The staff pointed to their own forehead, "He wore a red outfit, and had a cinnabar mole on his forehead, truly captivating."
