The old lady glared at her and said, "You are the only one who talks too much. Go cut leaves and stop being an eyesore here!"
Chen Jiao touched her nose awkwardly.
She wanted to watch the old lady cook.
But the old lady wouldn't allow her, and she had no choice but to go and cut the leaves.
By the time the fragrant aroma came from the old lady's side, she had almost finished cutting the pile of leaves.
The haircut she made today was a marked improvement over yesterday. Although it was not as thick as a hair, it was half as thin as yesterday.
The old lady appeared behind her without her knowing when.
When she finished cutting the last few leaves, the old lady said calmly, "Okay, let's eat."
Chen Jiao washed her hands and sat down at the small table in the thatched house. She saw a bowl of chicken soup in an enamel bowl on the small table. The chicken soup was golden in color with only a few scattered drops of oil on it and dotted with red wolfberries, which made people's appetites grow.
There was also a dish of red oil chicken slices, served on a chipped blue and white plate, arranged in the shape of a phoenix spreading its wings ready to fly. It looked so beautiful.
Even the last dish, braised chicken, was presented exquisitely.
Before she even picked up her chopsticks, Chen Jiao was already conquered by the beautiful presentation.
When she cooks, she only pursues the taste and never cares about the presentation of the dish.
But she had read some information at the end of the world. In the following period of time, China's economy developed rapidly, and people's requirements for food changed from large quantities to satisfying food to exquisite, healthy and delicious food.
After the reform and opening up, she opened her own restaurant and had to think carefully about what business route she should take.
As Chen Jiao was thinking, the old lady picked up the chipped coarse porcelain spoon and scooped a spoonful of soup, "Eat it, can you get full just by staring?"
Chen Jiao and Lu Zhengxu looked at each other and started to eat silently.
After Chen Jiao tasted a piece of red oil chicken slices, she instantly lost the desire to speak. It was so spicy, fragrant and delicious. She quickly tried the braised chicken and chicken soup.
The braised chicken is sweet and soft, making you want a second piece after eating one. As soon as the chicken soup goes in your mouth, a fresh and fragrant aroma rushes straight to your head.
This was so delicious that Chen Jiao completely forgot that she had to control her weight and couldn't stop eating.
Now she understood why they kept silent while eating.
Because it was so delicious, if I spoke one more word I would eat one less bite. In order to eat more, I had no choice but to keep silent.
After dinner, Lu Zhengxu took the initiative to clean up the dishes and went out to wash them.
The old lady looked at Shen Jiao calmly and asked, “Girl, why are you cooking?”
Chen Jiao said without thinking: "I like to see the satisfied and happy expressions on other people's faces when they eat the food I cook."
The old lady's expression did not change at all, and she continued calmly asking, "So you plan to be a cook in a state-owned restaurant in the future?"
Chen Jiao looked at the old lady with a pair of bright eyes that were clearly divided into black and white.
She certainly didn't intend to just stay in such a small state-owned restaurant as a cook.
At the end of the world, due to her environment and strength, she could only live in a corner and didn't dare to run around.
Now that God has given her the opportunity and brought her into a peaceful era, she must of course go out and take a good look at the beautiful rivers and mountains of her motherland and this beautiful world.
It’s just that the current policy direction is still unclear. She knows the future direction and has her own plans, but it’s not easy to tell the old lady.
She had a yearning look in her eyes and shook her head slightly, "Master, I don't want to be a cook in a state-owned restaurant all my life.
If policies allow in the future, I would like to set up a school to train many good chefs, and then open shops all over China. Finally, I can go abroad to open shops and promote our Chinese cuisine.
I can also travel around and see the different sides of the world. ”
After Shen Jiao finished speaking, the old lady showed a rare look of satisfaction on her face, but she still said unceremoniously: "Oh, you are quite bold in thinking and speaking. If a third person hears what you said, you should be arrested and have your capitalist tail cut off."
Chen Jiao: ...
An old lady who says one thing and means another.
After the old lady finished speaking, she stood up and said, "Okay, your husband has packed up, it's getting late, go back quickly and don't be an eyesore here."
Chen Jiao: ...
The old lady's temper changes at any time.
Chen Jiao sat on the back seat of Lu Zhengxu's bicycle, hugged the man's thin waist and returned to Dajiang Village, where she found that the villagers were carrying benches and walking towards the brigade headquarters.
Chen Jiao smiled and called Aunt Qin who lived at the village entrance, "Aunt Qin, is there something that needs to be discussed? Why are you all heading to the brigade headquarters?"
Aunt Qin replied loudly, "Yes, the captain said that a meeting is going to be held to rectify the atmosphere! Zhengxu's family, you just got off work?"
Although it was a question, there was no need for Shen Jiao to answer. Aunt Qin shouted with envy: "You people from big cities are capable, and you are eating state-funded food.
You also helped find that job for Lu An's family, right? You are really capable..."
Aunt Qin kept saying flattering things, and Chen Jiao took advantage of the fact that she didn't finish her next words and quickly responded with a smile: "Aunt Qin, you misunderstood. Nowadays, there is only one job for each person, so how can I help my second sister-in-law find a job?
My second sister-in-law, like me, was admitted through her own ability. ”
"If you want your children to find a job in the city, you can ask someone to keep an eye on the city's job recruitment information. Once the information is released, sign up for the exam as soon as possible."
Aunt Qin swallowed her words about asking Chen Jiao to find a job for her child and laughed dryly. "Zhengxu's family, look at what you said. None of the four kids in my family are capable. They can't recognize a few words and don't have any special skills. How can they pass the exam to get a job in the city? They can't pass the exam, they can't pass the exam..."
Chen Jiao exchanged a few polite words with Aunt Qin, then grabbed the corner of the man's clothes and said, "Husband, shall we go to the brigade headquarters as well?"
“We should go and see it.”
Lu Zhengxu's deep and magnetic voice came from the front.
Chen Jiao reacted instantly, "Aunt Qin just said that we're going to hold a meeting to rectify the atmosphere. Is it because of the report letter?"
Lu Zhengxu turned around, his deep starry eyes were full of doting smiles, "My wife is so smart!"
Chen Jiao was happy but also a little curious, "Didn't they say it was an anonymous letter? How did they find out it was from Third Uncle?"
"I went to the relevant departments and provided them with the possible whistleblower. They compared the notes to verify it." Lu Zhengxu said calmly.
A warm feeling flowed through Chen Jiao's heart. She knew that the whole process would definitely not be as easy as Lu Zhengxu said.
Reporting has become a trend in recent years, resulting in many unjust, false and wrongful convictions.
There are even many people who were reported whose families were broken up because of the jealousy of the reporters, but not many reporters paid the price for it.
This time she was wrongly reported, and the higher-ups will conduct a thorough investigation and rectify the atmosphere. I believe Lu Zhengxu must have played a big role in mediating this.
