Rebirth: At the beginning, the cool school beauty was caught stealing in the supermarket

Chapter 452 Food God Bai Qingxia

The other executives all looked over with surprise. It wouldn't be strange for the boss to ask anyone else such a question, but asking Young Master Lu's girlfriend was a bit puzzling.

This little girl is very pretty, but she looks delicate and timid. She doesn't talk much and seems like a spoiled little princess. Does she even understand?
The workers in the workshop didn't find it strange. After all, with sterile suits and head coverings on, they didn't know what the people inside looked like and assumed they were experts invited by the leaders.

Bai Qingxia carefully took the seasoning packet with both hands, and subconsciously looked at the person beside her who made her feel the safest.

Lu Yuanqiu raised his head, indicating that she should do as she was told.

Bai Qingxia then asked her uncle, "May I try some?"

The workshop foreman was so surprised that he opened his eyes wide.

That voice...it must be a child's, right?

The uncle smiled so broadly his eyes narrowed into slits: "Of course."

Second Uncle's expression control was a bit lacking. He stared at Bai Qingxia, his expression already a bit serious, thankfully he was wearing a mask.

Taking off her mask, Bai Qingxia gently sipped the sauce near her lips, which were coated with lip gloss. After a moment of waiting, she asked, "It contains both dark and light soy sauce, right? What's the approximate ratio?"

The executives and the eldest and second eldest uncles all turned to look at the workshop workers in unison, their expressions as if to say: My sister is asking you a question.

Lu Yuanqiu also looked over.

The driver paused for a moment, then replied, "They've all been released, one to five."

Bai Qingxia nodded, her voice still timid and soft: "My personal suggestion is to adjust it to a 1:4 ratio, because the taste is too salty and the braised flavor is not strong enough. Light soy sauce is used to enhance the freshness, but it is also on the salty side, so you can add less of it. Dark soy sauce has a strong soy sauce flavor and can enhance the braised flavor. In addition... add more rock sugar, just one-tenth of the original amount."

The workshop foreman looked bewildered: "Huh?"

The uncle smiled, then turned to look silently at Old Wang. Old Wang, observing his expression, immediately frowned at the workshop foreman: "What 'huh'? Did you write it all down?"

"I...I...I..." This was the first time the workshop foreman had been reprimanded by the general manager in person. His face turned red with anger, and he immediately ran to the side, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote it down as he recalled the incident.

Lu Yuanqiu took the seasoning packet from Bai Qingxia's hand, took a small sip from where she was eating, and then asked in confusion, "I always thought that authentic braised beef noodles should be saltier?"

The uncle took a deep breath and put his hands behind his back: "There is no such thing as truly authentic or not authentic, only whether it tastes good or not. Even the most authentic taste will be eliminated by the times if it tastes bad. Consumers will teach us a serious lesson by the number of times they buy from us."

At noon.

Chu Lan followed her female colleague to the staff cafeteria. She yawned, stretched out her hands to support her colleague's shoulders, like a zombie putting its arm around her back.

"Little Pear, Little Pear, slow down, I'm so weak."

"I'm tired too, don't put your weight on me..."

"Finally, we can eat! I've been slacking off until now, and I slip away as soon as it's time to leave work." Chu Lan laughed, then muttered to herself, "Let me see what's for dinner today."

She suddenly noticed that her colleague Xiaoli was standing in front of the window, lost in thought.

Chu Lan walked to the window and was also stunned.

"Wow!! The food in the cafeteria is so fancy today?!"

Chu Lan immediately pressed her face against the window, staring in astonishment at the scene inside: "How come they even have lobsters?!"

The two of them arrived relatively early, after all, they were just about to leave work. Gradually, other employees gathered in front of the window. These employees were almost pressed against the glass, exclaiming in surprise, marveling at the luxurious meal today while also feeling like crying, as if they had been living in a concentration camp before.

"Bang!" Xiao Li placed the plate full of fish and meat on the table. She put her hands together, tilted her head up at a 45-degree angle, and looked as if she were doing a pre-meal prayer: "Thank you, boss, thank you, young master."

Chu Lan picked up her chopsticks, frowned, and said, "I heard that the Crown Prince brought a particularly beautiful girlfriend here today. I'm so jealous. Why does he live such a carefree and happy life? We can only benefit from his success."

After saying this, Chu Lan took a big bite of the chicken leg, feeling indignant.

Xiao Li laughed heartily, enjoying her meal: "It's good enough to be able to benefit from this. The company's annual party invited quite a few celebrities, including my idol. If it weren't for the boss and the young master, would I have had the chance to see my idol perform for me?"

"That's true, alright. Thank you, Your Highness. I'm sorry I scolded you a bit too much before." Chu Lan also put his hands together and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.

"Beep beep beep." The phone notification sounded.

She picked it up and saw that it was a staff lunch card that Qin Luo had sent her as usual.

Chu Lan chuckled and immediately took a picture of today's staff meal for him.

Lanbaobao: Isn't it luxurious? Hahaha, the company's heir is here, and all of us employees are enjoying the good life.

Qin Luo: I'm so envious. Compared to you, what I eat is practically pig swill.

"Lanbaobao": You're such a big idiot.

Qin Luo: Tch.

An hour later, Lu Yuanqiu and the others arrived at the staff canteen. They had specifically chosen this time to come because they were worried about it being too crowded.

A group of people stood at the window peering inside. Lu Yuanqiu looked up and almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Inside, a row of aunties serving vegetables held iron ladles, heads held high, standing at the most upright military posture, like telephone poles... It was really hard on these aunties, having to act at their age.

"Why does this dish look like it hasn't been touched?" Second Uncle asked, turning his head.

Old Wang quickly said, "We're too late. The previous batch was almost all eaten. Let's come over and make some new ones."

Lu Yuanqiu glanced at the lavish feast inside and asked, feigning nonchalance, "The food is so good!"

"That's for sure, that's how our employees are treated." After Lao Wang finished speaking, a group of senior executives all smiled and agreed.

Definitely not. If the food were good, Senior Sister Chu Lan wouldn't be acting like a grudge every day.

After the food was served, Lu Yuanqiu, Bai Qingxia, and their two uncles sat at one table, while Old Wang and Mr. Liang and the others sat at the next table.

Bai Qingxia looked at her plate full of meat and felt she couldn't finish it. If it were at school, she would have given it to Lu Yuanqiu, but now she felt a little embarrassed... so she could only bite the bullet and eat it.

Old Wang: "President Lu, the company's performance this year has doubled compared to previous years, so we're going to make a big splash at the annual meeting in Zhucheng. Not only will our own employees perform, but we've also invited a lot of celebrities to help out, and several media outlets are coming too. Why don't you two stay and take a look?"

"Sure, it's time to treat the employees to a good year-end bonus. They've worked hard all year, let them relax and have some fun," the uncle replied after taking a bite of his food.

He then asked Lu Yuanqiu, "I heard that your parents and Dongdong are coming at the end of this month, right?"

Lu Yuanqiu nodded, and Bai Qingxia also raised her head.

Uncle: "Since we've come all the way to Zhucheng, let's have the three of them come to the company's annual meeting as well."

Lu Yuanqiu was taken aback: "The 31st? No, Uncle, I was planning to have the three of them watch Bai Qingxia and me at the school's New Year's Eve party."
