Chapter 19 Job Opportunities
Jiang Yingying didn't hesitate for a second when she heard the news.
"Sister Yang, thank you for telling me this news! I am willing to work in the cafeteria!"
Seeing the bright smile on Jiang Yingying's face, Secretary Yang couldn't help but smile.
She said, "Okay, don't be too happy yet. The military cafeteria is indeed short of people. However, they don't need people who can pick and wash vegetables, but people who can stir the wok and have real skills."
Secretary Yang looked at Jiang Yingying's thin arms and legs and remained a little skeptical.
"Are you sure you can?"
At this point, Secretary Yang shook her head slightly in her heart. She really had lost her mind. She actually took seriously what her mother boasted to her at home.
"Sister Yang, I can do it!" Jiang Yingying said, "If you are worried, I can try the food on the spot."
"Okay," Secretary Yang thought, let's give it a try first. The cafeteria is in urgent need of people, so it would be a good thing to find someone as soon as possible. "Well, let's go over there now, are you okay?"
"I can, Sister Yang, can you wait for me for a moment, I'll go home and tell my brother."
"Okay, I'll wait for you here."
"Thank you Sister Yang, I'll be right back."
Jiang Yingying jogged all the way home. At that time, Jiang Chao was taking out the bed sheets at home to wash and dry them in the sun.
"Brother, why are you digging these out? You are still injured!"
"I think the weather is good, let's take these out and wash and dry them." Jiang Chao smiled, "Yingying, my injuries are not serious, don't be too nervous."
"Look," he said, shaking the sheets, "I'm fine."
"Okay, okay, I got it."
Jiang Yingying reached out to take the bed sheet from his hand and threw it into the basin, then she remembered what she came home for.
"Brother, leave these sheets here until I come back to wash them."
"I'm going to the military cafeteria to try out the food. If it's successful, I'll have a job."
"Really? That's a good thing. You cook so deliciously, it will definitely be successful. Shall we go over later?"
"Well, Sister Yang is waiting for me in the family affairs office. I'll come back and tell you."
"Then we can't let people wait too long. I'll go with you." Jiang Chao said hurriedly, "Yingying, don't be nervous. With your cooking skills, the military district cafeteria will definitely hire you."
Jiang Yingying laughed, "Brother, I'm not nervous. I can go by myself, Sister Yang will take me." She said, "You can read a book at home, eat some snacks, etc. If I can't come back for lunch, you can go to the cafeteria to eat, don't work by yourself."
"Yingying, do you really not need me to accompany you?"
"Brother, that's really not necessary. I'm leaving first."
Jiang Yingying took some effort to finally dissuade Jiang Chao from going with her to the job interview.
Before leaving, she couldn't help but give a few more instructions, but she didn't know whether Jiang Chao listened to her or not.
Jiang Yingying didn't dare to delay and ran to the family affairs office again.
"Sister Yang!"
"Xiao Jiang, you're here, do you want to take a break?"
"Sister Yang, no need, we can leave now."
"Okay then, let's go now?"
"Okay, Sister Yang."
When Jiang Yingying and her friends arrived at the military cafeteria, it was a free time and everyone was sitting or chatting in the kitchen in groups of three or four.
Seeing Officer Yang and Jiang Yingying coming over, Master Yang, who was in charge of a canteen in the military region, asked, "Second sister, what are you doing?"
Master Yang and Officer Yang are somewhat related. She smiled and greeted them, "Uncle San, this is Comrade Jiang Yingying Jiang. She is the sister of the deputy commander of the Second Regiment. She came here to follow the army a few days ago."
"Comrade Xiao Jiang's cooking skills are pretty good. I heard that our cafeteria was short of staff, so I brought her over to try."
As a relative, Master Yang knew about the kindness Jiang Chao had shown to Secretary Yang's husband.
However, public is for public, and private is for private.
Master Yang looked Jiang Yingying's slender figure up and down with suspicion, "Xiao Jiang, you have to stir the big spoon and the big pot here, can you do it?"
Moreover, Master Yang felt that Jiang Yingying looked delicate and pretty, and didn't look like someone who could cook.
Faced with Master Yang's suspicion, Jiang Yingying was not angry. She smiled at everyone.
"Master Yang, everyone, I can cook a dish for you to see."
Everyone was idle at the moment, and upon hearing this, an aunt started to talk.
"I think it's OK. We'll know if it's real kung fu or not once we give it a try."
"What Lanhua said makes sense. I think it's okay too."
Jiang Yingying was smiling from beginning to end. Master Yang looked at her several times and said, "Okay, then let's ask Comrade Jiang to show us his skills."
Master Yang turned around and looked at the ingredients that were delivered today. "Comrade Xiao Jiang, you can cook a few dishes for us to show off your skills. You can use whatever ingredients you want in the kitchen."
"Okay, Master Yang."
Jiang Yingying was not at all timid. She looked around at the layout and had a rough idea of what was going on.
At this time, Aunt Lanhua, who was the first to speak, smiled and said, "Comrade Xiao Jiang, do you need a hand?"
Although she was asking, she had already prepared the kitchen utensils for Jiang Yingying swiftly.
"Comrade Xiao Jiang, come here. This pot can be used. I just washed it this morning."
"Thank you, auntie."
"Hey, just call me Aunt Lanhua, and behave well. I'm looking forward to having a pretty girl here. If nothing else, working with a pretty person makes me happy."
"Lanhua, get out of my way. What are you saying? Xiao Jiang, is it okay for me to call you like this?" Another aunt Xiujuan came forward. "Don't let her make you nervous. Take your time. It's okay."
Master Yang looked at their posture and shouted.
"Alright, alright, both of you, just help us, but don't make trouble."
Aunt Lanhua and Aunt Xiujuan talked to Jiang Yingying for a few words, but because they were afraid of disturbing her, they walked away.
Jiang Yingying was a little nervous, especially in the short time she had been here. She truly felt the kindness of the aunts here, Master Yang, and several assistant chefs.
To be honest, if she was 80% determined to get the job at the beginning, now it has become 100%.
Jiang Yingying took a deep breath and prepared to put all her energy into preparing this dish.
She planned to make Mapo Tofu and Boiled Fish. Jiang Yingying had her reasons for deciding to make these two dishes.
On the first day Jiang Yingying arrived at the military region, she discovered that the canteen chefs here, even the sisters-in-law in the family compound, would add a little chili to any dish they cooked.
Therefore, Jiang Yingying chose these two spicy dishes as the dishes to be cooked during her trial work.
"Don't mention it, Comrade Xiao Jiang does have some real skills. Look, her knife skills are amazing."
