"Not alive again?"

When Niu Xiaofen saw her husband coming back with his head hung, she knew what had happened.

Cao Sheng sighed and sat down on the door frame. "Oh, it's difficult! Now a large number of educated youth have returned to the city, and the job market in the city is very tight. Many young and strong people are unemployed and are wandering around the streets. It's not as easy to find work as before, and there are competitors everywhere on the street.

If we didn’t have some rent money, we wouldn’t even have enough to eat!”

Niu Xiaofen was also worried. "Why don't you follow Big Brother and work as a bricklayer? At least you can make a living. It's not a good idea to just do odd jobs every day."

Cao Sheng scratched his head in annoyance. "I'm afraid of heights, so I can't do many things."

He also wanted to follow his brother-in-law to work on the construction site, but his body didn't allow it!

"Then do the job that doesn't require high salary. At most you will earn less."

Cao Sheng thought for a long time, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay, I'll go ask him when my brother gets off work later."

Niu Xiaofen smiled and nodded, "Okay."

It was not until after lunch time in the afternoon that Cao Sheng went to his brother-in-law's house with a bottle of wine.

"Where is my sister-in-law at home? Where is my eldest brother?"

"Your elder brother is in the room, come in!"

Niu Dafu’s wife said with a smile.

"good."

Cao Sheng also smiled and nodded and went into the house.

Niu Dafu, who was resting on the kang in the room, sat up immediately when he heard him coming. Seeing him carrying wine, he couldn't help but mutter, "Our family is not rich, why spend this money? He is not an outsider."

Cao Sheng put the wine on the table with a smile, "I have something to ask you, it's embarrassing to come here empty-handed."

Niu Dafu rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are such a smart kid, you are trying to trick your family like this!"

Cao Sheng laughed, "If I were smart, I wouldn't be in this state now!"

"Alas, you are a capable boy, but it's a pity that you were not born in a good time. I was not born in a good time either!"

Thinking of the poor life his family is living now, Niu Dafu couldn't help but sigh.

"What do you want to do? Just tell me."

Cao Sheng didn't hesitate and said directly, "I want to work as a bricklayer with you."

"Aren't you afraid of heights?"

Cao Sheng nodded, "I am afraid of heights. I was wondering if I could do something that doesn't require climbing high? It doesn't matter if the pay is a little lower. You don't know how hard it is to find work out there now. Even just moving something has dozens of people lining up to get it. I'm really impressed. There are so many idle people on the street."

Niu Dafu tapped the table with his fingers, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Didn't you learn the craft from your father when you were a child? Can you still do it now?"

Cao Sheng waved his hands, "Well, I haven't practiced for many years. Besides, even if I could do it, I can't afford to open a restaurant!"

"If you can't afford it, there are people who can. Isn't the person who rented your house going to open a restaurant? I heard her talking to her mother-in-law yesterday about hiring a cook and other workers! Go ask her if she wants one. I think the food you cook tastes pretty good. Ask her. If that doesn't work out, you can do some rough work like washing dishes!"

It's not that I don't want to take you with me, but in your situation, you won't make much money even if you follow me for a day. Ask her first. If she doesn't want you, you can just follow me. It's not a good idea to not make any money every day."

"Okay then, will she be there tomorrow?"

Cao Sheng felt that if Ye Qing wanted him, he would be able to earn more than following his elder brother-in-law. He still liked to cook, but he had never had the chance in recent years. Before he got married, he just ate whatever he could get. He was lucky to be half full. He had no money to buy seasoning. After he got married and had children, his life became worse. But some things were engraved in his bones, and he had not forgotten them.

"Go, she's been there every day these days, and you have nothing to do anyway, so go there and wait tomorrow morning."

Cao Sheng nodded, "Okay! Then I'll go back first, you take a rest."

"Hold the wine."

"No, keep it for yourself!"

After he said that, he walked out quickly.

The next day, when Ye Qing arrived at the store, she saw Cao Sheng helping with the work. She smiled and asked, "How come you have time to come here?"

When Cao Sheng saw her coming, he stopped what he was doing, rubbed his hands and came to her.

"Hey, Sister Ye, I have something to talk to you about."

Ye Qing raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter? Tell me."

"It's like this. Aren't you going to open a restaurant? I want to ask if you want to hire a chef. I learned from my father for a few years when I was a child. Although I haven't learned it in recent years, I haven't forgotten it. Can you consider me? If you are worried about the taste, I can cook a few dishes for you to try first."

Ye Qing didn't expect that he was here to recommend himself. He really wanted to hire a cook.

"Okay, as long as what you cook tastes good then I'll use you!"

In her opinion, this man's character is acceptable, and if his cooking skills are good too, then it's not impossible to keep him.

When Cao Sheng heard her say that, he clapped his hands happily and said, "Okay, I'll go buy some groceries right away!"

Ye Qing smiled and stopped him, "No need, I'll buy it for you to try later, I plan to hire two chefs and interview them together later.

By the way, besides cooking, what else can you do? Can you make pastries?"

Cao Sheng nodded, "Yes, I have learned how to make steamed buns, flower rolls, dumplings, and pasties, as long as they are famous. It's just that life has been hard in recent years and I can't eat these good things, so I haven't made them again. But I am sure I can still make them!"

"Okay, then you should get ready. I'll finish my work in the next two days and we'll have the interviews."

"good!"

Cao Sheng spoke with full confidence, but only he knew how scared he was.

It would be fine if I was the only one, but now there are people competing with me, and the pressure is overwhelming! The confidence that I had built up with great difficulty was also cut by half. If it really doesn't work, it would be good to ask Sister Ye to let me stay in the store as an assistant.

Ye Qing didn't know about the confusion and worry in his heart. He went back and wrote a job recruitment notice and posted it on the wall in front of the store the next day.

This street has a large flow of people, and such a large piece of red paper posted on the wall quickly attracted a lot of people's attention. Ye Qing planned to hire two cooks this time, two waiters to work in the front hall, and a kitchen helper to help in the back kitchen.

Aunt Zhang is very good at chopping. She and her mother-in-law can be responsible for the noodles together, while she will be responsible for the cashier and overall coordination. Such a basic team is successfully built!

Nowadays, a large number of educated youth have returned to the city, and there are many unemployed young people in the city. When they see that this store is recruiting, they rush to sign up.

Ye Qing didn't expect it to be so popular. He was really shocked by the crowded scene. Lin Cuixin and her husband were also shocked.

Ye Qing simply stepped on a stool and shouted, "Be quiet, everyone, be quiet for a moment and listen to me! I'm the boss of the store! Everyone, be quiet for a moment!"

When everyone heard that she was the boss, they all quieted down and listened to her attentively, fearing that they would miss any important information.
