Chapter 229 Extra 1: A New Box Restaurant Opens in the County (Part 1)

It's spring again, and everyone is busy in the fields.

Shen Qingyue hired more than a hundred people to help with farming in the mountains.

Not only the land, but also large areas of vegetables.

The whole mountain looks green and lovely.

The first strawberry crop of spring has been planted, and it won't be long before we can pick them.

Even people from other villages couldn't help but envy when they saw it: "I've never seen such delicious vegetables." These cabbages are plump and green, which looks very pleasing!

Cucumbers, beans, eggplants, and peppers, needless to say.

There are so many fruits hanging there that you can never pick them all.

About ten baskets of vegetables are picked every day.

It takes less than six hours from picking it from the field to cooking it.

It’s so fresh that the same dish tastes much better than before.

Shen Qingyue arrived at the newly built large kitchen, where everyone was working.

Shen Qingyue said to the fat chef Chen Huai, "Everyone at the factory asked me to give you a raise. They said the food you cook is getting better and better!"

The fat chef Chen Huai chuckled and said, "The main thing is that the food is good and tastes good when it's cooked, so there's no need for a raise."

Because he smiles every day, adults and children in the village all like to play with him.

He is a skilled man and works under Shen Qingyue.

He has become a favorite in the eyes of matchmakers, and they have introduced him to twenty candidates during this period.

Fat chef Chen Huai is quite clever when it comes to cooking.

Everything he cooks is delicious, but when it comes to relationships, he seems clueless: "I'm not looking for one."

He just wanted to follow his master and bring his little nephew along with him.

This made his master, Mr. Chen, worry about it, but there was no point in worrying because his descendants would have their own blessings.

No one could force Chen Huai to get into the bridal sedan if he didn't want to.

That's how it is. Only when there are so many rejections will the matchmaker stop coming.

Shen Qingyue is well-informed now. Every day, if there is any big news in the village, everyone rushes to tell her!

Fortunately, the boss Shen Qingyue never put pressure on the fat chef Chen Huai.

Feelings are something that cannot be compromised.

Fat chef Chen Huai looked at Shen Qingyue several times, as if he had something to say to her.

Shen Qingyue asked: "What's the matter?"

When she asked this, the fat chef Chen Huai felt embarrassed and said, "Let's talk outside."

Shen Qingyue had no choice but to go out and find a place where no one was.

The fat chef Chen Huai said, "My brothers and some of my apprentices want to come and help in the kitchen."

During the Chinese New Year, his senior brothers came here with their families as if they had made an appointment.

The master and apprentice haven't seen each other for a long time, so they must have an assessment.

As a result, every apprentice made great progress.

After asking around, I found out that a variety of dishes are served here every day, and they are cooked in large quantities.

The control of heat has reached a certain level.

People in the small county are generous with their praise.

If the food is delicious, they will ask others to tell them and write letters of feedback and praise.

It was as if all of Master Chen's young disciples had been through a period of intensive training, and each of them had been completely transformed.

These brothers went back to study and wanted to send their apprentices over there to learn something and help out.

Apprentices like them who are still learning their skills do not receive any salary.

But at Shen Qingyue's place, everyone is paid an apprentice salary of thirty yuan.

Food and accommodation are free, and the first group of ten people have now saved one or two hundred yuan.

Fat Chef Chen Huai is always short of people, but recruiting still requires Shen Qingyue's approval.

Shen Qingyue asked: "How far have they learned?"

Fat chef Chen Huai said cautiously, "I know how to stir-fry everything." Actually, those who wanted to come here knew more than just stir-fry. They had all been learning from their master for at least five years!

Shen Qingyue asked: "But where do you live?"

The fat chef Chen Huai said, "I still have room. I can ask Zhou Jinbao and the others to make a bunk bed. It's enough for us to stay."

Shen Qingyue said: "That's fine, let them come, the salary and benefits are the same as other apprentices."

Fat chef Chen Huai asked, "Do we need to control the number of people or something?" It seemed that the senior brothers were eager to try.

Shen Qingyue said: "No need."

Fat chef Chen Huai was also an honest man, so he quickly went to the village to call his senior brothers.

In less than a week, more than 30 people showed up.

Those who came from different masters all went to find their previous senior brothers.

But accommodation suddenly became tight.

Except for the room of fat chef Chen Huai and master Chen Lao, the rest of the rooms have bunk beds.

Fortunately, he asked for more rooms when he built the house, otherwise there would not be enough to live in.

There was chatter in the room.

Even someone as insensitive as Fat Chef Chen Huai couldn't help but call their senior brother. These people are really unkind. Are they asking him to take care of the child?

The senior brothers were also a little embarrassed and wanted to use their own collection of fine wine to appease the fat chef Chen Huai.

Chen Huai said, "I won't drink your wine. I'll just drink the mountain wine brewed by my master."

"What? Master still has some mountain wine? My dear Junior Brother, do you know how many jars we have left?"

That was brewed by the master himself. Who wouldn’t be tempted by such a good thing?

Chen Huaishi was no fool. He was so angry that his senior brother was still thinking about this little mountain wine that he hung up the phone. The next day, his senior brother came over with a ham to apologize!

Chen Huai was not an angry person and he calmed down quickly. After all, his Taoism skills were not as deep as those of his senior brother.

My senior brother tricked me into giving him a jar of mountain wine.

However, the rest were hidden in the basement by Chen Huai and he would not give them to anyone who came next time.
