The next day, when Chen Jiao went out to work, she found that Lu Wu did not come.
I thought that because of Zhang Biying's fuss last night, Lu Wu had given up and was no longer planning to buy her job.
Unexpectedly, when Lu Zhengxu sent her to the third store, he saw a person squatting at the door of the store from a distance.
Li Yan was sharp-eyed and recognized him first. "Hey, isn't that Lu Wu? What is he doing squatting in front of our store?"
Chen Jiao did not hide it from Li Yan and told her directly: "Second sister-in-law, I plan to sell my job to Brother Wu. Let him follow me for a few days to adapt, and then he will accept the assessment from above. If he passes the assessment, he will do my job in the future."
Li Yan wasn't that surprised.
Although she is an apprentice, Shen Jiao is leaving now, and the few skills she has learned are not enough to be a chef.
Even if Chen Jiao wanted to give her the job, she would not be able to pass the assessment.
Not to mention my eldest brother and Lu An from their family, their skills are simply not good enough.
However, Lu Wu had learned from the chef of the kitchen team, and the chef said he was very talented. If he had not been born in this era of less food and clothing, and had not had such a pair of parents, Lu Wu might have become a chef long ago.
When Shen Jiao arrived at the store entrance, she said to Lu Wu, “Brother Wu, go to the store with your second sister-in-law first to see what the store prepares every day. I’ll go get the ingredients for today.”
In the past, Chen Jiao would find deserted places and get her ingredients from the space.
But now that the job was going to be offered, she would definitely have to get the goods from regular channels and hand over the purchasing matter to Lu Wu.
Chen Jiao arrived at the grain station first.
The staff at the grain station were already familiar with her. When they saw her, they took her inside and said, "Xiao Shen, are you going to issue invoices today? Everything has been prepared for you."
As he spoke, the other party handed her a pile of bills.
During this period, although Chen Jiao's ingredients were taken from the space, the state-owned restaurant had to pay with invoices for the grain, meat and vegetables it bought.
So, she communicated with the grain station, meat processing plant, and non-staple food store, gave them a portion of the kickbacks, and they issued the invoices for her.
Chen Jiao took the ticket and smiled as she stuffed an inconspicuous cloth bag in her hand into hers. "Sister Peng, I'm sorry to bother you during this period. I went up the mountain to dig up a ginseng two days ago. You can take it back to make wine or stew it for the children."
Peng Juan thought that Chen Jiao was giving her a normal kickback, but when she took it in her hand, she felt something was wrong, because she not only felt some money in it, but also something hard, like a tree root.
Just when I was wondering, I heard Shen Jiao's words.
She suddenly didn't dare to pinch it anymore.
The ginseng dug from the mountain is this big. It is a rare treasure.
Even if you give it to a leader, it will be presentable.
"Xiao Shen, how can I bear to carry such a valuable thing..." Peng Juan smiled brightly. While being polite, she had already stuffed the thing into the nylon bag she usually carried to work and hid it.
Chen Jiao also smiled politely and said, "Sister Peng, I have troubled you so much during this period of time. This is just some mountain products I dug up in the mountains. I hope you don't mind.
From now on, my cousin will take over my job and buy food from you. I hope you will take good care of him! ”
Peng Juan also instantly understood what Shen Jiao meant, "Xiao Shen, do you mean that you want to give your job to your cousin? After your cousin takes over your job, the food will be taken from our grain station normally?"
Chen Jiao nodded, "Well, I'll have to trouble Sister Peng to take care of me in the future."
Peng Juan felt a little sad, because during this period Chen Jiao wanted tickets but not food, and she could not only get some kickbacks from Chen Jiao.
She could also buy the grain that was invoiced for Chen Jiao herself, and then have her family take it to the black market to resell it, which would be another considerable income.
Chen Jiao no longer wants to do this job, and the third store will have to get food as usual, which means she will lose this part of her extra income.
However, although she felt pain in her heart, she also knew that there was no chance to make money from this, so she should stop.
What's more, Chen Jiao gave her such a big ginseng, which was very kind of her, so she couldn't take it too seriously.
Peng Juan smiled and said, "Okay, Xiao Shen, don't worry. Given our friendship, I promise to give your cousin food quickly when he comes to get it in the future."
After communicating with the grain station, Chen Jiao went to the meat processing factory and the non-staple food store.
She communicated with the people she had worked with before, just like she did at the grain station, and then she returned to the store with a bicycle load of ingredients.
In recent days, the popularity of hotpot has gone down, and many people who come to the restaurant to eat will order other dishes listed on the blackboard.
Chen Jiao let Lu Wu cook, and she watched and gave instructions from the side.
Although the taste was slightly worse than hers, it was still a delicacy for diners of that era.
After a few days, Chen Jiao felt that Lu Wu's skills were almost up to par, so she reported it to Wu Cheng and asked him to organize people to assess him.
Lu Wu passed the test without any suspense.
However, Wu Cheng and other leaders also put forward requests, asking Chen Jiao to train Lu Wu for another half a month, and requiring Lu Wu to launch a new dish at least once a month in the future.
Lu Zhengxu will not return to the army until after the New Year, and Chen Jiao will work for another half a month, which is almost the New Year. The timing is just right, so this is not a problem for her.
But when Lu Wu heard that he was asked to prepare a new dish, he looked a little embarrassed, but he still agreed reluctantly.
As soon as the leaders who were doing the assessment left, Lu Wu said to Chen Jiao with an embarrassed look on his face: "Sister-in-law, those leaders asked me to come up with new dishes, but I cook based on what I learned from my master before, or I do whatever you tell me to do. I don't know how to make new dishes, what should I do?"
Chen Jiao smiled slightly and said, "Brother Wu, don't worry. I will send you a recipe every month. You can make it a few more times according to the recipe and let the people in our store taste it. Once it is qualified, you can launch it."
"Okay, okay..." Lu Wu nodded repeatedly, looking at Chen Jiao's eyes full of gratitude, "Sister-in-law, thank you so much..."
Lu Wu's voice was choked with sobs as he spoke. He felt a little embarrassed that he could only say thank you so lightly for Chen Jiao's great kindness.
Chen Jiao smiled and said, "Brother Wu, please don't be polite. Think about it, you saved Yangyang and Nannan, that is a great favor to us."
It's past dinner time and no one is eating in the restaurant.
Lu Wu went into the kitchen and prepared a working meal for everyone.
While eating, He Qiongzhen said, "Xiao Shen, you've been here for a few months, and I'm used to following you around every day. I'm not used to you leaving so suddenly."
