After having a good meal at the state-owned hotel and Zhou Ze'an cleaning up the mess, the family went back to the island together.
Zhou Jun was still a temporary worker, but his cooking skills were recognized by most of the people in the city, far surpassing the reputation of Zhou Xiong from the state-owned hotel.
Zhou Xiong probably gave up the idea of relying on his apprentice to support him in his old age, and he gave the quota in exchange for money. In the past two years, he started to date a young lady who married into the same city.
But before, Zhou Xiongning was willing to take in male apprentices to support him in his old age, rather than rely on his married daughters. How could it be so easy to take this path?
Now a lot of boulders have been thrown in, but not much splash has been heard.
It was because Zhou Xiong was distracted and his hands were not as strong as before, which affected his performance. The city leaders were dissatisfied with him in many ways, which also affected his two apprentices. Therefore, the leaders decided that the position of the master chef in this state-owned hotel should be given to the most capable person.
This means that Zhou Jun’s quota for a formal job has been secured.
Zhou Jun mentioned all these in his letter, but when Qiao Yu mentioned his recent situation, he was proud again.
"Good! You are worthy of being my son! Get rid of that short-sighted former master! Be brave and give it a try in the state-owned hotel! Create a new world for yourself!"
Zhou Jun smiled innocently, and the other children gasped.
"Wow, brother, what is this?!"
When Zhou Jun saw the ginseng, he told the second major thing that happened to him: "By the way, Mom, Dad, and Grandma, originally, there was a suspense in the competition for the position of the master chef of the state-owned hotel. After all, Zhou Xiong's two apprentices have connections in Linshi. I am not worried about my own ability, but I am afraid that the other party will play dirty. There is always a way out..."
The incident happened a week before he was due to go home for the New Year. He thought he would be home soon anyway, so he planned to explain the details in person after arriving home.
The mother of a deputy factory manager is dying.
This deputy factory director is a well-known filial son.
My mother wanted to eat something, but she was suffering from illness and vomited everything she ate. So she went to see Zhou Xiong and Master Yuan respectively.
Master Yuan did not show up and recommended Zhou Jun.
Master Zhou Junjing analyzed it and prepared to make a medicinal meal, and this ten-year-old wild ginseng was the reward. In addition, there was also the deputy factory director as a connection.
In the end, Zhou Jun succeeded, and the deputy director's mother was very satisfied. The deputy director also regarded him as a benefactor.
As for wild ginseng.
Don't underestimate this wild ginseng, it's only ten years old. This is the first time Qiao Yu has seen ginseng since he came here! Its efficacy is much better than that of artificial cultivation in later generations!
She had read a lot of farming novels before, and the heroines always had ginseng that was hundreds or thousands of years old. How come she didn't see a single one here?
After she ran out of money, she went to the pharmacy to ask. She worked in the hospital and had many connections there, but she had never seen a single wild ginseng!
Good guys! Who said military kids are unlucky?
She is the real unlucky one!
Qiao Yu cried bitterly while holding the ten-year-old wild ginseng.
Ten years of wild ginseng!
This is edible and can be copied in a black box!
If we replicate one plant every day, that would be 365 plants in a year...
That’s 3,650 plants in ten years.
I got rich. I got rich.
"Mom, don't be like this, I'm scared..." It was the voice of the little goldfish.
Not only the little goldfish, but several other children were also trembling.
Qiao Yu carefully placed the ginseng into the box, then hugged Zhou Jun and said, "Jun boy! You are the lucky star of our family, the king of luck! Mom has decided, the house in Linshi is for you! Just consider it as a reward for this wild ginseng!"
"Mom, no need..."
"It's worth it. You don't know that the wild ginseng you brought back is much more valuable than that small courtyard! It's worth it! It's absolutely worth it!" Qiao Yu made the final decision. "It's decided! After the New Year, I will transfer the ownership to you!"
Zhou Jun: "Okay."
He knew that once his mother made up her mind, no one could change it. If he refused, he would be too petty and too rude. Besides, his father and grandmother had no objection.
They all considered themselves to be real members of the Zhou family and did not care whose name the courtyard was under.
Night.
Zhou Ze'an wanted to be gentle and warm, but was kicked away by Qiao Yu.
"Come here every day! You are a cow, and I am not a real field! Go to sleep! Don't make trouble for me!"
Zhou Ze'an put his fingers through the holes in his shorts, fiddled with them, and said, "Xiao Yu, why don't you put down the ginseng and hold me to sleep."
If you don’t know, you might think that wild ginseng is your lover.
Zhou Ze'an thought with some jealousy.
Qiao Yu could naturally smell the vinegar in the man's mouth. He cursed in his heart and carefully put the wild ginseng into the box, saying, "You are jealous of your late husband and your children, but you are drinking the vinegar of a wild ginseng! You must have spent your whole life soaking in a vinegar jar!"
No matter how she scolded him, a strong arm wrapped around her flat belly, held her slender waist, and hummed in a muffled voice, which was considered a response.
Like a wronged young wife.
I’m afraid that if the children learn one day that Qiao Yu violently enforced the law against Zhou Ze’an, they won’t be surprised.
"Xiao Yu." His hot breath fell on the crook of her neck.
"...Behave yourself."
"oh."
"By the way, let's talk about something serious. Should we arrange a marriage for a military boy?"
"Isn't it up to him?"
Qiao Yu sneered, "Don't you understand him? As long as we ask him, he won't refuse! Isn't it just a matter of a word from us?"
"Then pick one that you like."
"…It's not like I'm getting married."
Zhou Ze'an started to get jealous again, "You still want to get married."
"Get lost!" There's no point in chatting today!
Qiao Yu almost felt itchy again and kicked him!
Qiao Yu's final decision was to screen the men introduced by the sisters-in-law in the military compound first, and since he couldn't refuse, he would arrange a blind date for Zhou Jun.

Other kids: ? ? ! ! Big brother is going on a blind date? !
The little goldfish stuck his head out from the crowd and said excitedly, "Mom! I want to check it too! I want to check it too!"
Qiao Yu picked up the little goldfish and said, "Okay, put this little thing of yours in your pocket to add to the fun."
Zhou Jun lowered his eyes embarrassedly.
Seeing this, Qiao Yu shook his head.
This child is too docile! No, she has to be strict! She can't marry a troublemaker to torture the military kid!
After breakfast, Qiao Yu rode his bicycle with Little Goldfish on it to reply to Wang Zhaodi.
Also brought along was some cloth prepared for my second sister-in-law.
Wang Zhaodi listened to Qiao Yu's talk about the military boy's marriage and his second sister-in-law's clothing making, and even drew the pattern, but...
Wang Zhaodi was at a loss for words, "You don't even know your second sister-in-law's size, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Sister-in-law, you know my personality. Once I have an idea, I have to complete it immediately. If I delay it for a day, I will feel itchy and can't sleep well at night."
"Okay." Wang Zhaodi took the drawing and looked at it. She said in surprise, "Your Dawei's painting skills have become even better. I want to frame this drawing and hang it on the wall to admire it."
Qiao Yu chuckled, "Is that right? That kid has a strong ability to understand. When I tell him what I want, he gets it right away. Otherwise, if I give you my own paintings, you'll have to study how to make clothes for a long time, and come to ask me what I'm drawing from time to time. It's not like Dawei's paintings, which are clear at a glance."
Wang Zhaodi: "All your children are talented, there is no idle generation. How come none of my children are good enough even though we eat the same food?"
"Your Shuhui has a very good personality. I like her."
Hearing this, Wang Zhaodi went over to test him, "Does your third son have any feelings for her?"
