Ma Xiaohui lowered her head in embarrassment, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Ning He saw Ma Xiaohui's embarrassment and said for her: "She does odd jobs here to earn some living expenses."
The soldier nodded after hearing this.
Since He Dazhuang's wife said the food here is delicious, then it must be okay.
The soldier was afraid that Jiang Yuanzhao would be dissatisfied, so he said to Ning He, "Madam, can you give me one portion of everything you have? No, no, three portions!"
He almost forgot that the leader had to take it back for his wife and children to taste.
Before Ning He agreed, Ma Xiaohui started packing up quickly.
Ning He saw it and smiled suddenly: "Okay!"
After sending the soldiers away, we can close the stall for today.
Everything is sold out.
After Ma Xiaohui helped Ninghe pack up, she apologized to Ninghe embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry, have I caused you any trouble today?" She lowered her head, with her hands hanging in front of her. She was so nervous that she clenched her fists, and her fingers kept biting the flesh on her palms.
Ning He smiled and asked, "Aren't you doing odd jobs here? Why are you causing me trouble?"
"But..." Ma Xiaohui was halfway through her words when she suddenly realized something.
She suddenly raised her head and looked at Ning He in disbelief: "Is what you just said true?"
Ning He nodded: "You pack the goods skillfully and can spot the mistakes in the change in time. You are very careful. My stall is just starting to get better and it is a busy time. I need someone as capable as you."
Ma Xiaohui was so moved by Ning He's words that she didn't know what to say.
"Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity. I asked many companies today, but none of them wanted me. I thought I would never be able to find a job. Thank you so much!" Ma Xiaohui's eyes gradually turned red as she spoke.
Qianlin quickly handed her a piece of paper: "Auntie, wipe your tears."
"Thank you!" Ma Xiaohui nodded and took it.
Ning He had also been desperate, and she understood how Ma Xiaohui felt.
When people are in despair, they especially long for a ray of light to illuminate them, or for someone to give them a hand.
Originally, Ning He just wanted to be a spectator, but after seeing Ma Xiaohui's determination to never give in, her perseverance, and her gratitude, Ning He was moved.
If someone longs for light, then she will try to become that light and illuminate her.
Ning He said to Ma Xiaohui, "I only work half a day here in the morning, lunch is included, and the monthly salary is 40 yuan, paid monthly."
As soon as Ning He finished speaking, Ma Xiaohui's face was still full of surprise: "Forty yuan?"
"Too little?" Ning He asked with a raised eyebrow.
Ma Xiaohui quickly shook her head and explained: "No, isn't forty yuan too much?"
You have to know that the monthly salary of workers in the factory is only around 30 yuan, but Ning He paid her 40 yuan.
Ma Xiaohui was a little embarrassed to accept it.
Ning He said, "Forty dollars a month is not as simple as just setting up a stall and selling things today."
Ma Xiaohui nodded and asked quickly, "If there is anything else you want me to do, please tell me."
Ning He asked her, "You also live in the staff quarters, right?"
Ma Xiaohui nodded: "Yes, it was my husband's boss who asked me to come to the family compound, but if I get pregnant, I have to leave."
Ning He: "It's not a big problem. From now on, you can come to my kitchen at five o'clock every morning and help me prepare the ingredients for the stall. There will be lunch in the morning, and then we will close the stall at noon, and the day's work will be over. Think about it."
Ma Xiaohui nodded without thinking and said, "I've thought about it. I'm willing!"
Having a job was already a blessing for her, not to mention the high salary Ning He offered her, so she didn't even have to think about it.
Ning He smiled and said, "Okay, let's start counting from today."
Ma Xiaohui also wanted to say that she didn't help much today.
But before she could finish her words, Qianlin beside her handed the rice ball to Ma Xiaohui: "Auntie, eat the rice ball!"
Ma Xiaohui burst into tears: "No, I can't accept it!"
Qianlin stuffed it into Ma Xiaohui's hand: "This is my mother's special request for me to leave a portion for Auntie, and my mother just said that there is a meal package every day. This is Auntie's lunch today, Auntie, please accept it!"
"Eat quickly. If you don't eat, I won't need you anymore." Ning He said this in a threatening tone.
Ma Xiaohui was so scared that she quickly took the rice ball and started to eat it voraciously.
Ning He raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a smile.
"Come back with us. I'll show you the way to my home. And my name is Ning He, so just call me Ning He from now on."
Ma Xiaohui nodded heavily.
…
The soldiers brought the packed cold noodles, rice balls and complimentary sour plum soup to Jiang Yuanzhao.
Jiang Yuanzhao was stunned: "Didn't I ask you to buy three servings of cold noodles? Why did you bring back so many things?"
The soldier replied guiltily: "Reporting to the commander, the cold noodles are sold out!"
"What?" Jiang Yuanzhao had only one thought in his mind: today's cold noodles were ruined.
Seeing this, the soldier quickly copied what Ma Xiaohui said and said to Jiang Yuanzhao: "But I bought some cold noodles. Everything sold there is delicious. The cold noodles taste almost the same as the cold noodles."
"What?!" Jiang Yuanzhao was shocked again.
When the soldier saw that his leader was very emotional, he thought, it’s all over, He Dazhuang’s wife is lying!
Unexpectedly, when Jiang Yuanzhao quickly opened the plastic bag of cold noodles, a familiar smell came to his nose.
Jiang Yuanzhao's eyes suddenly lit up: "That's it! The taste is exactly the same!"
The soldier was a little confused and asked cautiously, "Captain, if this cold noodles is not to your taste, I also packed some rice balls for you to bring back."
The soldier quickly opened the bag of rice balls, and then a familiar fragrance came to his nose.
Jiang Yuanzhao was stunned. Isn't this the smell he smelled in the auditorium this morning? !
It still smells just as good! But why would He Shaochuan go to buy rice balls so early in the morning? How does he know that the food sold at this stall is delicious?
Jiang Yuanzhao frowned and asked the soldier: "Who is this stall owner?"
The soldier scratched his head. He didn't know the proprietress, but he knew Ma Xiaohui.
The soldier replied, "I have never seen the boss's wife, but He Dazhuang's wife works at that stall."
"Who is He Dazhuang?" Jiang Yuanzhao had no impression of this man.
He Dazhuang was just an ordinary soldier, so naturally his leader didn't know him.
But the young soldier knew him, and he replied, "The soldier who came in with me before is now in Captain He's regiment."
Jiang Yuanzhao nodded.
It all makes sense!
Jiang Yuanzhao's intuition was certain that the owner of the stall must be the military dependent who went to his house to make cold noodles last time!
Otherwise, how could he have met Ma Xiaohui, who is also a military family member?
Now that we have found this military dependent who can cook, we also know that he is setting up a stall outside to make money.
Jiang Yuanzhao suddenly had an idea. Since they were making money by selling food, why not let the military dependents sell it in the army canteen?
This way he wouldn't have to ask people to travel a long way to the market to buy it.
In the military canteen, there is no need to be exposed to the wind, sun, rain or shine, and it can also benefit the soldiers and their families in the army. It really is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone!
When he gets back, he will discuss it with his wife. If his wife thinks it is feasible, he will ask his wife to come forward and have a good talk with the military dependent.
