Director Liu then turned to Master Wang and said, "It's obvious that there's no hope for your little apprentice."
"Why is there no hope?" Master Wang wanted to stand up for his apprentice.
"He's different now. Not only does he learn from me, but Jiang Ning also teaches him a trick or two sometimes."
"Really?" Director Liu was a little unconvinced.
After all, he had seen Wang Yongfu's strength before, so how could he improve so quickly?
"Old Wang, just protect your shortcomings."
Jiang Ning said from the side: "Director Liu, Yongfu's cooking skills are pretty good now. He is sometimes the one who makes the big pot dishes. Don't underestimate him."
“When a man has been away for three days, he should be looked at with new eyes.”
"Okay, since he's so good now, after we finish preparing this reunion dinner, let him cook two dishes for us to try. If he's qualified, let him become a regular employee."
Master Wang was very happy to hear this.
He originally thought that he would not be able to see Wang Yongfu's promotion to a regular employee, but unexpectedly, God gave him the opportunity.
"Okay, then I'll talk to Yongfu about it and ask him to prepare well."
Director Liu nodded.
When they returned to the kitchen and shared the good news with Wang Yongfu, he couldn't believe it.
I originally thought that it would take a long time for me to get a permanent position, but I didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly.
"Thank you, Master, and thank you, Chef Jiang."
Wang Yongfu didn't know what to say to express his gratitude, so he could only keep saying thank you.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay, Yongfu, don't thank us. We can't help you with the regularization exam. You still have to rely on yourself. Ultimately, you still have to work hard on your own."
Master Wang also agreed with Jiang Ning's words.
"Yes, Yongfu, you still have to rely on yourself."
Wang Yongfu nodded, "I understand, Master Jiang."
"Okay, just prepare yourself first. Then just perform normally when the time comes."
Wang Minghua reminded him again: "However, you should focus on this reunion dinner now, and don't let your imagination run wild."
"I've taught you everything I can, but you still need to have an empty cup mentality."
"I understand, Master. Don't worry. I will definitely not let you down."
Wang Minghua nodded and said, "Okay, let's go prepare lunch for today. It's almost ten o'clock now. If you don't cook, it will be too late."
Wang Yongfu didn't dare to say anything more and immediately went to arrange lunch.
Soon, the day for the reunion dinner arrived.
Jiang Ning and Wang Minghua had already assigned their tasks, so the two of them had a tacit understanding when cooking.
In less than two hours, the dishes are all ready.
Everyone at the table enjoyed the meal very much.
They all said that Master Wang and Master Jiang’s skills have improved again.
The reunion dinner was also successfully completed.
Jiang Ning and Wang Minghua were also commended.
A day off for two people is finally in hand.
After the reunion dinner, Director Liu kept Wang Minghua.
"Old Wang, regarding the matter of your apprentice becoming a full-time employee, after you and Xiao Jiang have rested, you can start testing him. If he's up to the task, he'll be promoted directly to head chef and take over your job."
Wang Minghua nodded, "Okay, no problem."
He knew that Director Liu had proposed that his apprentice take the exam, and if he passed, he would be made a full-time employee.
The main reason is that I will retire in a month, and at this time, I definitely hope that my apprentice can have a stable job.
This would not only help Jiang Ning share some of the burden, but also allow him to see his young apprentice take over his job.
Director Liu patted Master Wang on the shoulder and said, "The exam will be held next Monday. Yongfu needs to prepare well."
Master Wang nodded.
Ever since Wang Yongfu learned that his chance to become a regular employee would be next Monday, he became visibly tense.
After seeing this, Jiang Ning couldn't help laughing.
"Yongfu, don't be nervous. You're already a very good cook now. You don't have to worry about your skills. The most important thing is to keep a good attitude and don't be too nervous. You could kill a fly with those frowns on your face."
Wang Yongfu frowned, "Master Jiang, I don't want to be nervous either. I just can't control my emotions right now. Whether I can keep my iron rice bowl depends on next Monday. I get inexplicably nervous when I think about next Monday."
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "There are still five days left. If you're so nervous now, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold the spatula steadily next Monday."
Wang Yongfu's expression now is neither funny nor sad.
"Okay, don't be nervous, just follow me and take some deep breaths."
"Come."
Jiang Ning glanced at Wang Yongfu.
Wang Yongfu quickly put down the spatula in his hand and started to learn from Jiang Ning.
"Flow your energy into your Dantian and take a deep breath with me."
As Jiang Ning spoke, he did not forget to gesture up and down with his hands.
There was no choice but for Wang Yongfu to follow Jiang Ning's movements and learn from them.
"Breathe..."
"Exhale..."
Wang Yongfu followed Jiang Ning for a few rounds and finally felt less nervous.
"Okay, relax now. When you're nervous, just do this a few times and you won't be nervous anymore."
Wang Yongfu nodded.
He was originally worried that his master would retire and he would still be an apprentice in the cafeteria, and he didn't know what to do then.
Now he looked at Jiang Ning and thought, even if he failed this test.
He was no longer afraid of continuing to be an apprentice.
It’s good to learn things from Master Jiang.
"Okay, practice slowly on your own. I'm going to go get busy now."
"Okay, thank you, Master Jiang. If you hadn't taught me this method, I probably wouldn't have had the courage to take the exam."
"Don't be nervous, your technique is fine."
"Well, thank you Master Jiang for your encouragement. I will work hard."
"good."
Jiang Ning had a good sleep during this holiday.
There's no way. She has been busy with reviewing, preparing reunion dinner and a series of other things recently, and she has no time to rest at all.
Now that I have time, I must make good use of it to rest.
Moreover, after the New Year, even after her second brother and Zhifang moved away, she only went there once.
It was still in the dark at night that Chen Yan took her there on his bicycle.
This extra day of vacation allowed her to find out the exact location of their home.
Moreover, it is very close to them.
It is also very convenient for everyone to visit each other.
It's also convenient for everyone to chat together in the evening.
Although Jiang Weimin moved out, everyone still had dinner together.
After all, it's more lively with more people, and sometimes you can occasionally taste new dishes made by Jiang Ning.
So, they have never been separated.
Of course, no one ever suggested breaking up.
Soon, Monday arrived.
It’s time for Wang Yongfu to take the exam.
But Wang Yongfu didn't seem so nervous anymore.
It seems that there is still more than enough leisure time.
Jiang Ning thought that it seemed that this boy had taken her words to heart.
