Courtyard houses: Those who are capable are rewarded, and many children bring many blessings.

"How am I not a man? You were the one who said it first, to plead for me!"

"You just said you didn't need it, now it's too late to regret it." After saying that, Bai Hongyan swayed her hips and went into her office.

After entering the room, he bent back and stuck his head out: "Want to come in?"

"I'm not in the mood, I'd better go help out in the kitchen!" Niu Dazhuang sighed and went to the cafeteria.

"Which team are you from? What are you doing in the kitchen? Get out!" Chef Zhang shooed Niu Dazhuang out of the kitchen as soon as he entered.

Niu Dazhuang grinned awkwardly and said, "I'm Niu Dazhuang from Team Four. I've been punished and have to work in the kitchen!"

"Then what are you still poking at? Hurry up and help knead the dough." He pointed to a large porcelain basin not far away and said.

"Master, I don't know how to knead dough!"

"You don't need to know how to do it. Just do whatever I tell you to do. It's a waste not to knead the dough for such a big boy!"

Well! It's over three feet in diameter, a large basin, and two feet deep, mostly filled with two kinds of dough. I estimate it weighs about seventy or eighty pounds.

It wasn't just one big basin, it was five, lined up in a row.

"Yu Li, come and pour the water!" A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, wearing a white hat and a white apron, stood next to the large porcelain basin and called out to Yu Li.

Turning to Niu Dazhuang who was walking over, she said, "Go wash your hands and roll up your sleeves! Yu Li, find him a hat so his hair doesn't fall in."

Yu Li put down the wooden bucket she was holding and ran off to find her hat.

Niu Dazhuang wasn't lazy either; he carried a wooden bucket to fetch water.

I've kneaded dough at home before, but with this much dough, I really don't know how much water to add.

A full bucket of water was brought back, and Yu Li's hat was also found. Yu Li is only seventeen or eighteen years old now, and she doesn't yet have the mature charm of a young woman, but this youthful and womanly aura has a unique appeal!

"Thank you, here's your hat!" Her two big eyes sparkled.

Niu Dazhuang was also deliberately being mischievous; when he took the hat she handed him, he deliberately tickled her palm with his little finger.

Yu Li's pretty face immediately turned red. Yu Li wasn't one to take things lying down, and she was about to start yelling when she glanced at her busy colleagues around her and swallowed her anger.

"Hurry up! Everyone's waiting for you to knead the dough!" Yu Li urged impatiently.

"It's just kneading dough," Niu Dazhuang said, putting on his white hat and rolling up his sleeves.

"Add water..."

Karma comes so quickly. Yu Li was adding water for him, but it was either not enough or too much. If she added too much water, she could only add more noodles, and if she added too much noodles, she could add more water...

The bowl of dough, which was originally just over half full, was filled to the brim by these two people, and they still haven't mixed it properly!

There was no other way but to ask my master for help.

"Master Wang, Master Wang, this new kid is no good. Look at the dough, it's all sticking out, and it's not even kneaded properly yet!" Yu Lixin shouted cheerfully.

After shouting, she whispered to Niu Dazhuang, "Hmph, you'll get what's coming to you taking advantage of me!"

"Oh my god, Little Chili!"

Master Wang, the middle-aged man who had been standing in front of the large basin preparing to knead dough, came over with a rolling pin.

Seeing a large bowl full of runny noodles, I grabbed a rolling pin and was about to pound it.

Niu Dazhuang didn't expect this guy to attack right away, but luckily he reacted quickly and dodged it.

"Hey! Why did you attack me right away? If you weren't an old comrade, I would have fought back already."

"Hey kid! If you do something wrong, you should stand at attention and take your punishment! You dare to dodge?! Zhang Tou, aren't you going to do anything about this?!"

Chef Zhang was also called over.

"Master Wang, he's here to help out, he's not one of our canteen staff. Please calm down!"

Turning to Niu Dazhuang, he said, "Pour half a bowl of noodles into this bowl..."

Under Chef Zhang's guidance, Niu Dazhuang finally managed to make two large basins of dough. For Niu Dazhuang's current physical strength, this was nothing, but constantly bending over and struggling with 70 or 80 pounds of dough was taking a toll on his back.

What is Niu Dazhuang's waist for? It's for blacksmithing; blacksmiths can work all night without rest.

But bending over to knead dough isn't so easy.

He straightened up, pounded his lower back with his fist, washed his hands, took out a cigarette, and squatted down in the corner to smoke it.

He had only rested for a few minutes when he was called up again to help carry the cage...

There wasn't a moment's rest until mealtime. Most of the work wasn't finished until the last large bowl of soup was carried to the long bench at the mealtime.

Next comes serving food. Ten windows open simultaneously. Those not responsible for serving food are assigned to clean up the kitchen.

Niu Dazhuang was dawdling while holding a broom!

Yu Li, a girl from JD.com, chimed in, "How come you're already done after only half a day? You're not even as good as me, a girl!"

Niu Dazhuang perked up again: "How can a man say he can't!"

"You're too improper, you don't deserve any pity. Humph!" With that, she swayed her slender waist and walked away.

They arrived on the same day and had met a few times during new employee training, so they had developed a bit of a rapport.

Previously, Niu Dazhuang had been interested in Ye Chunmei and Chen Xueru, and hadn't paid much attention to Xiao Yuli.

Having grown accustomed to voluptuous young women, Niu Dazhuang found Yu Li, who exuded a youthful charm, quite attractive today.

While not as voluptuous as some of them, her figure is perfectly proportioned, with curves that are not exaggerated but rather graceful. Her proportions are excellent!

Once there were no more people getting food outside, the chefs in the kitchen started serving their meal. Niu Dazhuang carried a bowl of vegetable soup and used chopsticks to skewer five steamed buns made from two kinds of flour.

Ignoring the stares of others, he sat down with several women.

"Hey! When did this young man come to our kitchen?" the middle-aged woman chatted, showing no restraint whatsoever.

"You'd have to ask Xiao Yu!"

"Ladies, please have some decency!" Niu Dazhuang quickly surrendered. If these middle-aged women continued talking, who knew what outrageous things they might say.

"This young man is not only strong and muscular, but he also has a sweet tongue. Does he have a girlfriend yet?"

"Hehe, I got married last year, and I'm going to be a dad this year!"

"That kid's got guts!"

"Just average, third in the country!"

"Haha... You're getting out of breath just from being called fat. That physique... tsk tsk."

"Xiaoyu, when you look for a partner in the future, you have to find someone strong and healthy. If a man isn't healthy, everything else is pointless!"

"Yes, yes, Sister Zhang, we've all been there. Xiao Yu, when looking for a man, don't just look at his appearance. Good looks can't put food on the table. Competence is the most important thing."

"Aunt Wang, why are you dragging me into this when you're talking about him? I'm not in a rush to find a partner, unlike someone who got married ages ago and has no career to speak of!"

"Xiaoyu, this kind of thinking is unacceptable. How does getting married hinder your career? Besides, we're both in the kitchen, what kind of career is this?"

"Exactly! For us women, the most important thing is our family and our children!"
