Chapter 368
The Green Tea’s Crushing Victories in the ’70s
Sun Wuyang returned to the military compound that night and repeated to Sun Manrou what he had learned that day.
âRuguiâs girlfriendâs last name is Tong, Tong Xuelu. Sheâs 19 years old and is the manager of City Nan Restaurant.âSun Manrou was taken a back a little. âManager of the restaurant? Sheâs not a cook?âSun Wuyang shook his head. âThat woman is quite competent. She was a server at the restaurant originally. She had subsequently took over as the substitute for the chef and became the manager of the restaurant in less than two months.âSun Manrou frowned a little. âWhat kind of family background does she have?âSun Wuyang snickered. âWhat family background? Both her parents had passed away. That being said, her former adoptive parents are government workers, but nothing special. And Iâve heard that they are not on favorable terms.âSun Manrou, âThen it seems like the Wen family helped her get into the position that she is in today.âSun Wuyang thought so too. âBeing pretty is a womanâs best asset.âSun Manrou lifted her brows when she heard that. âIs she pretty? Whoâs prettier? She or I?âSun Wuyang smiled and said, âAbout the same, Iâd say. However, she is an orphan and had 3 younger siblings. She cannot measure up to us.âNot to mention that you are Commanderâs Xiaoâs adopted Granddaughter and are talented and competent. Comparing yourself with her is already showing her more respect than she deserves!âSun Manrouâs eyes reddened all of a sudden. âBut Rugui is so nice to her. He even used his network to get her into the position that she is in. Iâm afraid that I donât stand a chance.âSun Wuyang, âWhy would you say such a thing? Rugui only picked her because he hadnât met you yet at the time. Had he known how incredible you are, Iâm sure he would give it serious thoughts!âSun Manrou finally smiled a little when she heard that.Sun Wuyang, âHowâs your interview with Grandpa Wen coming along? I heard that Grandpa Wen is a big foodie. Itâd be best if you bring over some homemade snacks.âSun Manrou frowned. âI donât know how to cook.âSun Wuyang said, âThat reminds me. I have a friend whoâs grandmother can make heck of a snack. Iâll have her make some snacks and you can pass it off as they were made by you when you visit Grandpa Wen.âSun Manrou frowned. âThatâs not nice.âSun Wuyang, âWhat you worried about? If neither one of us say anything, who would ever find out?âSun Manrou frowned but refused Sun Wuyangâs suggestion. She finally gave in when Sun Wuyang âforcedâ her into it.Sun Manrou went over to the Wenâs with the snacks the next day.Tong Xuelu happened to be over at the Wenâs as well. Old Mr. Wen had mentioned that Xiao Qi was already all grown and had her bring it home and turn it into a dish of stewed chicken.Tong Xuelu knew that that was what Old Mr. Wen wanted to have so she figured she would come over and make some good food for Old Mr. Wen and Uncle Zong.Uncle Zong had slaughtered the chicken before Tong Xuelu had arrived. âI am not sure if you are okay with slaughtering the chicken yourself so I had Xiao Wang prepared it for you.âTong Xuelu smiled and said, âThank you Uncle Zong. I do have a hard time slaughtering chicken. Can you show me to the kitchen, Uncle Zongâ¦â¦âShe hadnât even finished her sentence when Sun Manrou walked over.Sun Manrou, too, knew that the Wen family had to chickens by the names of Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba. Her eyes reddened when she heard Uncle Zongâs words.Covering her mouth, she had a look of disbelief on her, âChickies are so cute. How can you eat chickies?âTong Xuelu, ââ¦â¦âChickies?!Comrade, if I donât know any better, Iâd think you are trying to talk dirty!That being said, Tong Xuelu was a little emotional when she met a real-life green tea, and one in the 70s no less.Ever since she had been crowned the Queen of Green Tea, she had never ran into another real-life green tea. That had made her feel quite lonely as someone who no rivals.Tong Xueluâs red lips curved and she said, âChickies are so cute and thatâs exactly why we want to eat them. Stewed chicken, braised chicken, spicy chicken, dry pot chicken, salted chicken, cold cut chicken, roasted chicken, fried chicken, salt-baked chicken. All of them are delicious dishes!âUncle Zong couldn't help but gulped when he heard that.___Translatorâs note:The slang âchickiesâ can also be used to refer to the maleâs anatomy.
