Chapter 156 Open Recruitment
"Xiao Xia, why is your mouth so foul? Since the canteen chef has retired, does that mean everyone has a chance? I've been with the team for so many years, and even if I haven't made any contributions, I've worked hard. Shouldn't the team give me a chance, too?"
For so many years, she has been following the team through wind and rain as a family member. Is it easy for her? Why did the canteen chef retire? She doesn't even have a place to compete?
Xiao Xia was also unhappy when being called out by Mrs. Chen and directly retorted.
"Hey, Sister Chen, if you want to work in the cafeteria, you have to have the ability, right? At least you have to show everyone your skills! If you have the ability, everyone will naturally want you to work in the kitchen."
Really, this woman is not only fierce but also has no tact. Doesn't she have any idea of how capable she is? Still want to go to the cafeteria? I'm afraid anyone would be poisoned by her cooking skills!
Mrs. Chen ignored Xiao Xia's venomous words and promised solemnly:
"Who said I don't have that ability? As long as Captain Bai can give me this opportunity, I can prove to everyone that the food I cook is absolutely delicious."
Everyone: “…”
Where does this person get so much confidence?
At this moment, Bai Yichen stood up and waved to everyone.
"Okay, everyone, stop arguing here. I'm treating you today, so don't make things unpleasant. As for the job of the canteen chef, I think we can put up a job advertisement after the canteen chef retires, recruiting chefs. Let those who have the skills come and try cooking, and those who are capable will be hired. Do you agree with this?"
Being a chef in the kitchen is a craft. It's not something that can be done just by saying that one can do it. The final product should speak for itself. If it's a horse or a mule, can't we just show it off for a walk?
As soon as Bai Yichen's words came out, the people present immediately quieted down. Soon, the young people realized the meaning behind them and immediately echoed in unison.
"That's right, let's do as Captain Bai said. We will publicly recruit chefs and uphold the principle of fairness and justice. Let everyone who wants to work in the kitchen come and try the dishes. Whoever cooks the best dishes will get to work in the kitchen."
Anyway, these people have poisonous tongues. Whose cooking is delicious? You will understand it once you taste it. As for people like Mrs. Chen who want to play tricks, she must be given a convincing reason to get out.
Only Mrs. Chen murmured in displeasure.
"Ah, a chef is being recruited openly, and he has to cook for everyone to try."
To be honest, she was just holding on by relying on her shamelessness and seniority in order to get the job of chef. Now that everyone has agreed to taste the dishes together, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but feel timid.
After all, how about your craftsmanship? No one knows it better than her. Even her husband, Lao Chen, has to be patient when eating the food she cooks.
But Anxin’s cooking skills are different. Even though she is a woman, every time Anxin cooks, she feels her saliva dripping all over the floor just by smelling the food. So Anxin’s mother’s cooking must be better than Anxin’s. How can they be compared?
It was a pity that all the people present were young people. Even if Mrs. Chen spoke in a low voice, everyone still heard it clearly. Xiao Xia was even more merciless.
"Of course. Since we are hiring chefs, we must see who cooks the best dishes and hire them. Otherwise, those shameless people who want to get a job as a chef are just dreaming."
With Mrs. Chen's personality of valuing money over life, she is really not suitable for working in the kitchen.
"you……"
Mrs. Chen was speechless after hearing Xiao Xia's words. She could only stamp her feet in hatred, gave a vicious look to everyone present, and went back angrily.
Xiao Xia looked at Mrs. Chen who left angrily, and said something behind her without caring about her life.
"I'm leaving now. If you have the guts, don't come over when we eat later."
Really, we are all young men, and we all know how to come and help An Xin cook, even if it’s just chopping wood and making a fire. But this old lady Chen is lazy and greedy. She doesn’t want to work, but wants to eat for free. How can it be so cheap?
Mrs. Chen had just returned to the door angrily, but when she heard Xiao Xia's words, she immediately stopped and looked at Xiao Xia viciously with full fighting spirit.
"I'll be here for dinner later. What's the matter? I'm not eating at your house. Is there any need to be so protective of me?"
Everyone: “…”
Well, everyone was convinced by Mrs. Chen's shameless behavior.
After Mrs. Chen finished speaking, she stormed into the house and kicked the door shut, leaving everyone speechless. An Xin didn't say a word from beginning to end, just lowered her head and cooked her meal in silence.
With the help of everyone, the meal was quickly served hot.
"It's time to eat!"
The young men in the team shouted to each other, and the whole team sat down at the dining table and had a delicious and sumptuous lunch.
Because of the unpleasantness that had occurred before, Mrs. Chen came over shyly and sat at the very edge of the table. As soon as she sat down, she took a few bites of the braised pork head from the large plate on the table and put them into her bowl with her chopsticks.
As a result, the people at the same table all looked at Mrs. Chen with disgust and contempt.
Mrs. Chen didn't care and stuffed the braised meat into her mouth, chewing it with big mouthfuls.
Since she had been wronged before, she had to make up for it by eating big bites of meat at An Xin's house.
After dinner, because it was the weekend, the young men in the team were not in a hurry to leave. They all stayed in front of Anxin's house and started playing cards for fun.
An Xin and Bai Yichen quietly accompanied the team members and had a happy day.
When she got up the next day, An Xin cooked millet porridge, and quickly made two bowls of noodles with the braised pork soup from the previous day. She also boiled three eggs for Bai Yichen, fried some egg fried rice, and had the millet porridge for lunch.
After everything was ready, the two sat quietly at the table to eat. Bai Yichen rarely took the initiative to ask An Xin about her work arrangements for the day.
"What are you going to do today?"
Now, Chen Hongyan has been discharged from the hospital in good health, and he handed over the household registration transfer documents of his younger brothers and sisters to Anxin's hands yesterday.
An Xin is an active person, so it is impossible for her to stay at home and be a housewife. He wants to know his wife's future work plan and way of making money.
An Xin took a sip of the millet porridge and said to Bai Yichen without any intention of hiding her itinerary.
"Today, I will go to the provincial capital to finalize the transfer of my younger brothers and sisters' household registration and schools. I will take a taxi for a while in the afternoon, and I will be back before you get off work in the evening."
For An Xin at this stage, work and making money are important, but she has also formed a family with Bai Yichen, so she naturally cannot just focus on making money and ignore family life.
She had to rush back to cook for the man before Bai Yichen got off work.
