Waiting for the food to arrive, Gu Youlian was dumbfounded when she saw the first salad, "Is this raw? Is this restaurant too deceptive? They won't even cook it for us?"

"That's how it's eaten, you try it." Dugan was shocked inside, but he tried to pretend to be well-informed, tasted it, and found that it tasted okay.

Gu Youlian reluctantly took a few bites. Anyway, it was just vegetable leaves, so she couldn't say whether it was delicious or not.

When the steak came, Gu Youlian collapsed: How do you eat this? Take chopsticks? Still good at it?

Then he saw Marinda Qingping using the knife to cut everything, blood flowed out, and he immediately refused to eat no matter what he said, "Eat raw meat? No, no, no! Are these foreigners uncivilized? Why do they eat raw things! Bottle, don't blame me I don’t know what is good or bad, I know your meal must be expensive, but I..."

Gu Youlian was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay! If you don't like it, don't like it, waiter!" Marinda Qingping called the waiter and asked the waiter to fry the steak until it was fully cooked.

The waiter showed obvious disdain, "Who eats steak well-done? You're a jerk!"

Gu Youlian and Du Gen's faces turned red immediately.

There were people nearby who looked over, pointed, and whispered, as if they were laughing at them.

"Forget it, bottle." Gu Youlian said with a blush.

"No, I want to eat it well-cooked! How I like to eat is my business. You can do it if you can. You can't overdo it." Marinda Qingping worked in catering in his previous life. Although he didn't like customers who made trouble for no reason, the normal demands of customers were met by employees. To be satisfied, if you don't respect customers, such employees are also unqualified.

"What's the matter?" The boss came.

Marinda Qingping looked at the fat old man who once called "uncle" and politely made a request. Upon hearing this, the boss immediately took the plates away for processing and said sorry to them.

"If you don't like it, just say it, it's no big deal." Marinda Qingping sat upright and noticed the people around him talking, "What others say, you just need to remember one sentence: it's none of their business."

Gu Youlian burst into laughter.

"Aren't I... afraid of being laughed at as a countryman?" Gu Youlian said sheepishly.

"What happened to the country people? Country people rely on their own labor to make a living, which is very glorious!" Marinda Qingping said.

"Well said." Someone said from behind.

Marinda Qingping looked back and saw that the boss himself was bringing the fully cooked steak.

"Excuse me, do you need anything else?" the boss asked, putting down the steak.

"Here comes a plate of chili noodles!" Marinda Qingping knew that Du Gen was not from this province, but was originally from another province. He liked spicy food, and Gu Youlian also changed his taste.

Dugan was a little embarrassed, but the boss didn't mean to look down upon it at all. He immediately brought some hot sauce and said, "I'm sorry, but the kitchen didn't prepare chili noodles, only chili sauce. Can you think of it?"

"Okay, okay!" Gu Youlian immediately calmed down the matter.

Marinda Qingping just accepted it.

Gu Youlian liked to eat the squab and dessert that were served later.

In order to express their apology, the store also sent a piece of ice cream. Gu Youlian was full of praise for the ice cream and wanted to take one back to Mai. Marinda Qingping smiled, "That won't work. It will melt when you take it back."

When the meal was finished and the bill was being paid, Gu Youlian stuck out her tongue again, "My dear, it costs so much!"

"How many kilograms of meat can this buy?" Gu Youlian whispered to Marinda Qingping.

"I'm just here to see the world, and it's not all about eating. It's nothing." Marinda Qingping said, "Come on, let's go shopping in a department store!"

Marinda Qingping packed two desserts with a shelf life of two or three days and took them back to his two children. When he was leaving the restaurant, a young man, less than 20 years old, rushed in and almost knocked over the desserts in Marinda Qingping's hand.

"I'm sorry!" The young man apologized hastily, and then shouted inside, "Dad! Are you going to give it to me or not?"

When Marinda Qingping saw his old friend like this, he smiled secretly and shook his head: He is really still a rebellious boy!

"Let's go." Marinda Qingping led Gu Youlian and Du Gen towards the mall.

Gu Youlian liked going to the store, but when she entered the store, she saw a dazzling array of things and she didn't know what to buy.

Marinda Qingping stopped in front of the cosmetics counter to buy face wipes!

I bought it for myself and my second sister.

I also picked out a set for Gu Youlian.

"I have this too?" Gu Youlian said embarrassedly, "I never use it."

"You try it first!" Marinda Qingping said.

In the countryside, people like Gu Youlian, her second sister, and even herself had to work in the fields when they were at her parents' home. Their skin was often sunburned and peeled in the summer, so getting a tan was a trivial matter.

Gu Youlian did not refuse, but quietly gave Du Gen a look.

Dugen understood and walked away, so when Marinda Qingping went to check out, the waiter told her that the result was already done.

"You are still doing this to me!" Marinda Qingping never thought about the expense issue, but the actions of Gu Youlian and his wife still made her feel warm. They were completely different from her younger brother and nephew who only knew how to take in their previous life.

Gu Youlian smiled sheepishly, "Whose money is not hard-earned money? How can I catch someone picking it up? I'm still your sister!"

Marinda Qingping felt even more comfortable and returned to the hotel with a large bag of loot.

After another day of shopping in the provincial capital, Factory Director Hu came on the third day. He had a letter of introduction from the factory and an official seal. He successfully signed a contract with Mosaic, and then personally signed a contract with Marinda Qingping as a designer. Temporary labor contract.

"Xiao Marinda, it is about to enter the 1980s. Everything is prosperous. You can do it with confidence! I will take care of the other things." When Director Hu came this time, he not only saw Marinda Qingping's clothing in Mosaic and even the province. With the great sales in other shopping malls in the city, he also saw Marinda Qingping's keenness and talent in clothing design. He had been making clothes all his life and admired young people like Marinda Qingping very much.

Marinda Qingping also pointed out that she could not handle such a large workload and such a short construction period by herself. She hoped that the factory could recruit Gu Youlian and his wife as temporary workers and pay them temporary wages.

Director Hu agreed without hesitation.

What Marinda Qingping was thinking was that Gu Youlian and his wife received wages from the factory, learned things, and received dividends from her. However, she did not say that she had been very kind to people in her previous life, and suffered too much. In this life, she would grow up first. With your mind’s eye, observe for a little longer.

After everything was done, Marinda Qingping went back home.

The garment factory will first make 1,000 pieces of old models. There are design drafts and ready-made samples. Marinda Qingping does not need to rush to the factory. He plans to go home and take a look first, and then check the first batch of clothes the next day.

But what he didn't expect was that Dugen couldn't wait and was worried about the factory. "I'd better go now and go with the factory director. I want to watch the factory start working. I'm afraid they have no experience the first time and will do something wrong."

Marinda Qingping thought about it and thought it would work. Then Dugen would go first because he originally wanted to train him.

So, only Marinda Qingping and Gu Youlian went home, and this time when they went home, Marinda Qingping didn't expect to meet a noble person.
