Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

Her voice was full of confidence.

"Actually, my mom recently found me a project that I'm capable of handling! Before, I was terrible at everything... I knew absolutely nothing about company matters. I thought I'd never be able to help my family in my life... but it turns out my mom understands me best! I'm very satisfied with this project!"

Yu Zhe urged with a wry smile, "Alright, alright, I know you're amazing, get to the point."

"Hmm! The Ouyang family recently opened a new restaurant chain project. The menu hasn't been finalized yet, and there are many alternatives. These past few days, I've been acting as a taster! Every day, maids bring food over for me to critique. My mother said that while I may not be good at anything else, I'm unmatched when it comes to eating! Plus, I'm naturally thin, so she said that if I think something is delicious, I should just add it to the menu!"

"..."

Guess what Yu Zhe thought after hearing that?

She gets meals delivered to her every day, and she enjoys them so much that she can even help out at home afterward.

Isn't this the Clean Altar Messenger?!

What a little glutton!

Aunt Elisa was very insightful; this was indeed the perfect job for Little Lychee!

43. Is this how you evaluate it?

It should be said that Yu Zhe and Xiao Meng's arrival today was more about timing than early arrival.

The two of them just happened to be there during Xiao Lizhi's "working hours" today.

Xiao Lizhi checked her phone; it was almost 3 p.m.

She looked slightly embarrassed.

"This... Brother Yuzhe, Sister Xiaomeng. Every afternoon at three o'clock... is the time I go to select ingredients to add to the new restaurant menu, so now it's that... ugh..."

Little Lychee didn't know how to express herself.

She really looks forward to this time of day, as she can eat a variety of different dishes.

But today, when her brother Yuzhe came to her house, she didn't feel like eating as much!

Rather than going to a restaurant, she would rather chat with Yu Zhe and Xiao Meng here... If she were still a pure foodie in the past, she would never have imagined that she would have such a "terrifying" thought one day!

You can even be getting hung up on this?

Yu Zhe thought to himself, "Little Lizhi is just too rigid. She always thinks you can't have your cake and eat it too. But what good would it do if you could?"

Yu Zhe and Xiao Meng got up from their chairs together.

Furthermore, Yu Zhe suggested.

"Alright, go eat if you want to. This is your job now, so you have to stick to it."

"Ah...but you two...just left like that?" The little fool looked disappointed.

“Who said we were leaving?” Yu Zhe and Xiao Meng exchanged a smile. “If you don’t mind, we’d like to come with you to see what your work is like. We can observe and learn as a visit, okay?”

"Let's go!!" Little Lychee's mood instantly brightened. "Today, I'm going to eat ten dishes!"

Ok? !

Why does this line sound so familiar?

But when it comes to you, you become a bit so pathetic!

...............

Little Lychee, still in her pajamas, led the way.

This entire villa is her home, and since she's at home, there's no need for her to worry too much.

There is a connecting corridor leading to the villa's rooms, and after walking through it, you will find a spacious area of ​​about 100 square meters.

Like a small conference room? Actually, no. This used to be a temporary conference room, but it is no longer used for meetings. It has been temporarily converted into a private dining room for the Ouyang family's maids.

This is the carefree atmosphere of the Ouyang family...

After Yu Zhe entered the room, he saw many maids carrying trays of pastries back and forth in the self-service area. Unlike the Su family maids, who were sometimes very reserved and had a sense of hierarchy, Yu Zhe did not.

They are very free; perhaps this is a natural consequence of Xiao Lizhi's cheerful personality?

The maids who passed by Little Lychee were not reserved, but they knew proper etiquette.

"Good afternoon, Miss~ You're here to sample the food again?"

"Hmm! Are there any new dishes today, Xiao Lan?"

"I didn't know, Miss. The dishes you're eating are all specially prepared by a famous chef and selected from the menu. I'll bring them over to you in a bit. Ah... as expected of a young lady, lazy people have their own kind of luck. You can finish your work while eating."

"Hehehe...not at all...you flatter me."

Little Lychee... I don't think they were actually praising you, were they?

However, being able to be so relaxed and at ease with one's own family

The young lady spoke, and the maids of the Ouyang family were definitely among the best in the major families of Fenghai City.

After all, they treated Xiao Lizhi like a younger sister, not like a boss.

That's really good; even Yu Zhe is a little envious.

Little Lychee invited Yu Zhe and Xiao Meng to sit down at the solid wood table and chairs covered with napkins. Soon after, a maid came over and placed plates, chopsticks, knives, and forks in front of the three of them. Her movements were smooth and efficient, more professional than the waiters in a five-star hotel!

There's no way around it; that's just how omnipotent the maids of large families are—Yu Zhe knows this all too well.

Originally, the next step should have been for Yu Zhe and Xiao Meng to wait for the food to be served, watch Xiao Lizhi showcase her new work skills, and praise her a couple of times. That should have been the end of it.

but...

The maid named Xiaolan, while placing a napkin on Yuzhe's plate, seized the opportunity while Xiaolizhi's eyes were shining as she waited for the new meal to arrive.

She moved closer to Yu Zhe and Xiao Meng and whispered some instructions to them.

"Young Master Su, Miss Luo, no matter what happens later... please be understanding of Miss Ouyang and don't speak ill of her... oh, that's all she has to offer, please praise her more!"

"?!"

Yu Zhe was taken aback and was about to turn around and ask her what she meant.

But Xiao Lizhi's working hours have already begun.

The rumbling sound of the pulleys hitting the floor filled the air, and everyone looked towards the restaurant entrance.

Two maids were seen pushing a metal flatbed cart inside. On the cart, various dishes were displayed on plates inlaid with imitation gold.

Xiao Meng muttered to herself, "Hmm... I envy this plate, it's so elegant."

You're more envious of the plate than the food!

Yu Zhe didn't understand the focus of people whose families run restaurants; he just thought the dishes looked really good.

Looking closer, it's just a few common dishes, but they're the kind of main courses that can be served at a fine banquet.

Braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens, sirloin steak, stir-fried green beans with pork, and candied sweet potatoes with dipping sauce.

Okay... it is indeed a bit of a hodgepodge.

The presentation is quite nice, but I don't know how it tastes.

The maid elegantly divided each dish into three portions and presented them to the three people one by one.

Yu Zhe and Xiao Meng aren't in a hurry to eat; they came over after lunch.

But... even though Xiao Lizhi had already eaten lunch, her eyes still lit up with a dazzling light when she saw the exquisite dishes in front of her!

This guy raised his fork and stabbed most of the steak in it!

Just as she was about to happily stuff it into her mouth... she paused.

Yu Guang glanced at Yu Zhe with a hint of grievance.

Then, quietly put the steak down, elegantly cut it into smaller pieces, and then use a fork to pick up a small piece of steak, putting it in your mouth and chewing slowly.

Hmm... Brother Yuzhe is watching. I'm not the same as before. I always have to learn to improve!

However, Yu Zhe smiled wryly and offered a reminder from the side.

"It's okay, Little Lychee, do as you please. Do you remember the way I told you before about relaxing when you're nervous? Like that time when you gave your first speech on stage in the student council?"

Of course I remember...

Little Lychee has a bad memory; she often swallows words along with food. But she remembers every single word Yu Zhe says clearly.

—When you're nervous, treat the people around you like cabbages!

But as everyone's said, there's no cabbage as handsome as Brother Yu Zhe!

Little Lychee's eating manners gradually became more casual. In no time, she had devoured all the food in front of her, and only after wiping her mouth with a napkin did she begin to show some self-awareness as a young lady.

Xiao Meng whispered to Yu Zhe, "Xiao Lizhi's job... isn't it to taste the food? Isn't it supposed to be just to eat a little bit of each dish? But she actually... ate it all."

“It’s okay. Others eat a little because they can eat a little, but she eats it all because she wants to. You can’t stop her.”

Rather than discussing these trivial matters, Yu Zhe and Xiao Meng are very interested in Xiao Lizhi's evaluation of the food!

Let's see what this little glutton is like when he really starts giving a serious review of the food.

Little Lychee gently raised her finger and spun it around on the four empty plates in front of her.

Then...! With a firm gaze, she gave her assessment!

"This steak is the best! The braised pork with preserved mustard greens is a bit too salty, and the sweet potato isn't very good, just so-so! That's about it...?"

"......" "......"

Is this what you call appreciating fine food?

Correct, fair, and to the point?

No, no, no... that's clearly wrong, perfunctory, and completely ignorant!

You need to apologize to all the tasters in the world!

After saying that, Little Lychee confidently crossed her arms as if she had accomplished something great.

Yu Zhe clearly noticed that the maids waiting behind him were all silently shaking their heads, but when Xiao Lizhi turned to look at them, they immediately changed to smiling and encouraging expressions!

Hey!

Are you just going to spoil her like this?

44. A good teacher!
