Chapter 154 Extra-curricular Contract
"Yes, your sisters-in-law are always good at cooking. We are in for a treat today. Help your sisters-in-law with their work. I promised you that meal. Let your sisters-in-law cook a few dishes today and feed you all at once, right?"
This saved these guys from snatching his lunch every day. God knows, ever since An Xin made lunch for him and brought it to the mountain, he hardly ever had enough to eat, as it was all eaten up by these guys.
As soon as Bai Yichen's words came out, the young men present immediately looked miserable, and one of them who was not afraid of death spoke up.
"Ah, with sister-in-law's cooking skills, I would never get tired of eating her food for half a decade. How could I be full in just one meal?"
"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, this skill is absolutely impeccable, it is many times better than the master chef in our kitchen."
Everyone agreed at once, and one of them looked at everyone and offered a constructive suggestion.
"Brothers, since we all like sister-in-law's cooking so much, why don't we ask the captain and the superiors to ask sister-in-law to cook for us?"
As soon as this person said this, someone immediately nodded in agreement.
"That's right. This way we can enjoy sister-in-law's cooking every day. This is a good suggestion."
"That's right. The old chef on the team has already reached retirement age. It's time for him to go back and enjoy his retirement."
The chef of the exploration team was an old employee. Because he suffered a work-related injury and could not do heavy work, Bai Yichen took the initiative to transfer him to the kitchen as a chef, and he ended up doing this job for many years.
By this calculation, the old chef has reached the age to retire.
The people present were all young men. When they heard that they would be able to eat meals cooked by An Xin frequently in the future, they couldn't help but shout to Bai Yichen.
"Yes, Captain, the chef in the kitchen will retire soon. Please take some time to report to your superiors and let my sister-in-law come to our kitchen to cook!"
These days, the kitchen team has the right to hire chefs from outside, but they have to be paid according to the contract salary and can only receive half the salary of normal employees.
Even half the salary is very cost-effective for temporary workers. After all, the chef's job in the exploration team is not busy. He only cooks two meals a day, one breakfast and one dinner. Lunch is prepared in the morning and the team members take it to the mountain to eat.
Faced with the requests of many team members, Bai Yichen was silent for a moment, and said to An Xin who was busy in the crowd.
"Anxin, what do you think? Do you want to be a chef in the team?"
To be honest, after seeing An Xin's ability to make money in the provincial capital, Bai Yichen was not very sure whether An Xin would condescend to work as a chef in their team?
He also has to ask her opinion. If Angua doesn't want to, then he won't force An Xin. After all, An Xin has the ability to soar across the sky, so how can she be content to stay in a forest and be a chicken?
An Xin, who was cooking with her sleeves rolled up, had probably listened to everyone's suggestions. Now that Jingbai Yichen asked for her opinion in public, she thought about it for a moment and replied.
"Actually, I'm happy to go to the team and cook for everyone, but right now I have other things to do, so I may not be able to cook for everyone in the short term. However, I do have a very good candidate, and she taught me how to cook. I wonder if you are willing to accept her."
An Xin had some thoughts when she said these things. Now is the time for her to vigorously develop her career. She naturally cannot be a cook in a small kitchen of an exploration team, earning a few dozen yuan a month. How can she support her younger brothers and sisters then? What about your family members?
On the contrary, her mother Chen Hongyan has recovered now, but she cannot go out to work in the fields in a short period of time. It would be better to get her a job as a cook in the exploration team, and teach her how to cook a few dishes. Let her mother work as a cook in the exploration team, earning dozens of yuan a month, which is better than going up the mountain with a hoe all day, facing the loess and back to the sky to make a living.
A country woman like her mother, even if she spent the whole year working in the fields, basically could not support such a large family. It would be better for her to work as a cook in the exploration team, earning a few dozen yuan a month easily. In her free time, she could also raise chickens, ducks and pigs, and grow vegetables in the fields. The family's life would slowly improve.
An Xin's words aroused everyone's curiosity, and everyone started asking.
"Sister-in-law, is there anyone who cooks better than you?"
"Yes, according to what you said, the person you are talking about is your master."
"Hey guys, my sister-in-law's cooking skills are so good. If her chef came to cook for us, his cooking skills would have to be so good that we would probably have to lick the bowls at every meal, right?"
Bai Yichen on the side didn't say anything, and seemed to be lost in thought. Suddenly, a light flashed in his eyes, as if he remembered someone.
Looking up at An Xin, he saw a warm smile in An Xin's eyes. Their eyes met in the air and they smiled knowingly. They both knew who the other person was talking about.
An Xin interrupted everyone's chatter and directly stated the answer that Bai Yichen had guessed.
"Everyone, stop discussing this. The person I'm talking about is my mother, Chen Hongyan. Our family has been poor since we were young. My mother is a housewife who knows how to live. Most of my cooking skills are learned from my mother. If you don't mind, I'll let her come over and try the dishes. Once you're satisfied, I'll let her cook for you. Do you think this is okay?"
As soon as An Xin's words came out, everyone's faces showed a look of sudden enlightenment, and Wang Aiguo was the first to express his opinion.
"Sister-in-law, if that's the case, then you can ask Auntie to come over and try the food some other day. If the brothers are satisfied with the food, Auntie can stay in the kitchen. After all, everyone loves delicious food."
There was no spiritual and cultural construction these days, let alone any luxury food. The team only had a canteen with a big pot of food. As long as the chef in the canteen could cook the food deliciously enough, that was the greatest encouragement to all the brothers.
This time, everyone reached a consensus and agreed with Wang Aiguo's words and supported his enlightenment.
"Yes, yes, let's find a time to ask Auntie to come over and try the food?"
Please ask everyone to agree and let Chen Hongyan come to taste the food. An Xin smiled and looked at the team leader Bai Yichen. After all, can Chen Hongyan get this job? It also depends on the recognition of the public and Bai Yichen's attitude.
Receiving the gaze from his young wife, Bai Yichen quickly stood up and gestured to everyone.
"Well, after the team's chef applies for retirement, I'll have my mother-in-law come over to try the dishes. If everyone is satisfied, I'll hire her to work in the kitchen as a non-staff contract worker."
