Such spirit!
Such courage!
Such boldness!
To take on this kind of task so willingly, truly a tough cookie!
"Assign them some tasks."
Tilting his head slightly, Glenn Hutchinson instructed Captain He.
Captain He complied reluctantly.
But it wasn’t something he took too seriously.
After all, it was just about assigning tasks, something that could be handled casually, and as soon as Glenn Hutchinson left, whoever was originally supposed to do the tasks would still have to do them. With the New Year around, he certainly couldn’t make things difficult for these two female soldiers.
Captain He could never have imagined that Glenn Hutchinson had no intention of leaving at all!
He stood by, watching as Flossie Wright and Belinda Nichols handled the ingredients, appearing quite interested, showing no signs of departing.
"Captain Hutchinson, isn’t your evening party busy?"
After hesitating for a moment, Captain He approached Glenn Hutchinson.
"Not busy."
Glenn Hutchinson replied indifferently.
Pausing for a moment, Captain He smiled and squinted his eyes, then continued, "The kitchen’s a bit messy, maybe you’d like to go and take care of other business..."
Glenn Hutchinson spoke unhurriedly.
Captain He returned helplessly.
He had no choice but to go about his own business.
As the squad leader, if he couldn’t do anything about Glenn Hutchinson, it goes without saying for the other cooks, nearly none of whom dared to defy Hutchinson, let alone go up and plead for Flossie and Belinda.
Fortunately—
The situation wasn’t as serious as they had feared.
There was no need to mention Flossie’s knife technique; when handling the ingredients, she could reduce the amount of time needed by three to four times, and each cut was very precise.
Just watching her wield a knife was a pleasure.
And, besides her, Belinda, who wasn’t expected to perform as well, had knife skills that were not any worse than the cooks’.
Although not as fast as Flossie, each of Belinda’s cuts was beautifully executed. Any ingredients that came to her hands were cut both quickly and well, with slices almost transparent.
The two of them chopping away, ping pong pang pong, were simply unmatched in coolness.
As a result, the ingredients that were supposed to take four to five hours to be processed by four cooks were completed by them in just two hours.
As for Glenn Hutchinson, he too had stood by for a full two hours.
Not even sitting down to take a rest.
"Captain He."
Seeing the two put down their knives, Glenn Hutchinson suddenly spoke up and called out.
Captain He, who had just finished kneading the dough, instantly turned around and quickly walked over.
He glanced instinctively in the direction of Belinda and Flossie.
It was only when he saw the piles of prepped ingredients that Captain He stood frozen in place, his eyes filled with an ineffable surprise.
That was so quick—
They’re done already?
"Check the ingredients," Glenn Hutchinson said to Captain He, speaking slowly, "if there’s no issue, I’ll take my people and leave."
After a moment, Captain He came to his senses, reeled in his shock, and then motioned to Glenn Hutchinson, "Go ahead, you can leave."
He couldn’t dare keep Belinda and Flossie there any longer.
Wasn’t that just rubbing it in?
He was worried that if the other cooks were upset, they might collectively go on strike tomorrow, and that was not a joking matter.
And so, under many peculiar gazes, Glenn Hutchinson led the task-accomplished Belinda and Flossie away.
The bunch in the kitchen remained dazed for a long time.
