In the hot pot restaurant kitchen, Jiang Zhining taught Shen Weilu and Lin Aixue how to make barbecue seasoning.
"All ingredients need to be coated with seasoning. The earlier you apply it, the more flavorful they will be." Jiang Zhining explained.
"Brother, prepare the dry sauce according to the recipe I gave you earlier. You can also adjust it according to the customer's needs. If the customer likes spicy food, add more chili."
Shen Weilu nodded and said with a smile: “Don’t worry, Zhining, I have remembered all this.”
"That's good. We can start the trial run at the end of this month. First, replace half of the pots with barbecue trays. You will also be responsible for the barbecue. Will it be a bit hard?" Jiang Zhining asked.
Shen Weilu smiled and said, "It's not tiring, it's much easier than my farm work. Besides, the salary you give is so high, I'm willing to work hard."
Shen Weilu was very happy. Jiang Zhining really took care of him. Because he was the manager of the hot pot restaurant, responsible for the daily management of the store and also delivering goods, his salary was the highest.
Jiang Zhining gave him 50 yuan a month. This salary was far more than what he could earn from working. Therefore, he not only loved Jiang Zhining, but also felt grateful to her.
"I also hope that you can learn more and open a store in the future if possible. It is never as good as being your own boss than working for others." Jiang Zhining said truthfully.
Shen Weilu has always treated her sister sincerely, so Jiang Zhining also wants to help him as much as possible.
Shen Weilu smiled innocently: "I dare not think about those things. As long as I can make some money to support myself and my parents, I will be satisfied."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhining joked, "Brother, you should have some dreams. If you have a dream, you never know when it will come true."
"Yes." Shen Weilu suddenly remembered something and said, "When I passed by the Public Security Bureau this morning, I specifically asked about it. Shen Anan hasn't been caught yet. I didn't expect her to be so good at hiding."
Jiang Zhining frowned: "Hasn't he caught it yet?"
"Yeah. You should pay more attention during this period. Tell me where you want to go and I'll go with you." Shen Weilu urged.
Jiang Zhining hummed softly: "Okay."
It's been three days, and Shen Anan hasn't been caught yet.
She is the original heroine, so she should be lucky, right?
Somehow, Jiang Zhining had a bad feeling in her heart.
Shaking her head, Jiang Zhining didn't think much about it.
After lunch, Shen Weilu delivered the base ingredients to the military camp, and Jiang Zhining joined him.
"Boss Jiang, your base material business is really good. It has become a famous store in North City in a short time." The manager gave a thumbs up.
Jiang Zhining smiled and replied, "Thank you for your support, Manager. Without you, our seasonings wouldn't be so popular."
"That's because your food is good. Our soldiers love it."
"As long as you like it." Jiang Zhining smiled.
As she was speaking, the army commander happened to walk into the cafeteria. Seeing her, the army commander said kindly, "Isn't this the daughter-in-law of Yuzhou's family?"
Jiang Zhining smiled widely: "Hello, Commander. I was planning to visit you later."
The commander was curious: "Why are you looking at me?"
Jiang Zhining showed a hint of shyness: "I just want to ask if there is any news about Yuzhou."
Hearing this, the commander smiled heartily and said jokingly, "So you miss that kid Song Yuzhou."
Jiang Zhining admitted frankly: "I miss him. I haven't heard from him for so long, and I don't know how he is doing."
Hearing her words, the commander simply said, "There is news about him. Don't worry, they are safe."
Hearing that he was safe, Jiang Zhining felt relieved. Although she wanted to know about him, she couldn't force him. After all, Song Yuzhou was carrying out a military mission that was related to the country.
"Thank you, Commander." Jiang Zhining said gratefully.
"No need to be so formal. In fact, this mission is quite dangerous. I didn't recommend Yuzhou to go before. After all, he has three children to take care of." The commander sighed softly.
Hearing this, Jiang Zhining was surprised: "Is this mission really dangerous?"
The commander nodded. "Yes, it's a very difficult task. We in the Condor Force always take on the most difficult missions."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhining frowned slightly and couldn't help but worry.
Seeing this, the commander said comfortingly: "You don't have to worry too much. Yuzhou is a brave and resourceful boy. He will complete the mission."
"I'm afraid he'll get hurt." Jiang Zhining sighed softly.
Upon hearing this, the commander smiled and said, "As a soldier, it is an honor to be injured while on duty. Moreover, if it can be successfully completed, it will be of great help to Yuzhou's future."
The military camp is the place where military merit is most valued. The greater the military merit Song Yuzhou has, the more it will help him to be promoted in rank and position.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Zhining fell silent.
After separating from the commander, Jiang Zhining stood on the training ground with a heavy heart.
After Shen Weilu delivered the goods, he asked with concern: “What’s wrong? What are you thinking about?”
"Yuzhou wants to achieve military merit because of me. He wants to take on more difficult missions and wants to stand higher." Jiang Zhining said self-reproachfully, "I made him feel pressured."
Seeing her guilty and self-blaming look, Shen Weilu said comfortingly: "Don't think so, Yuzhou just wants you to be happy."
Seeing Jiang Zhining's expression change slightly, Shen Weilu continued: "Besides, men also need pressure, so that they can be motivated and better protect their women."
Listening to his explanation, Jiang Zhining responded with a smile: "Brother, what you said makes sense."
"So don't feel guilty. Yuzhou is already an adult, he knows what to do. He is the leader, if he doesn't want to, who can force him? It must be you who makes him want to become better, after all..."
Shen Weilu stroked her head: “After all, my sister is so outstanding, how can she be worthy of you if she doesn’t work hard?”
Jiang Zhining covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "Brother, you are still very good at talking."
"I will tell the truth." Shen Weilu said truthfully.
Jiang Zhining's eyebrows curved: "Yes, it's the truth."
Patting her on the shoulder, Shen Weilu said with a smile, "Let's go home."
"Yeah!" Jiang Zhining responded, and then prepared to go home with Shen Weilu.
When Song Yuzhou comes back, she will give him a gift.
After returning home, Jiang Zhining lay on the bed.
There has been a shortage of food recently, so she has to work hard on farming to meet the demand.
"Master, how long do you want to work today?" Guo Lai asked curiously.
Thinking of the serious shortage of ingredients, Jiang Zhining thought for a moment: "It will probably take seven or eight hours of work to make up for the shortfall."
"Master, come on, I'll cheer for you." Guo Lai held the bamboo shoots, clenched his claws into fists, and said encouragingly.
Jiang Zhining rolled up her sleeves: "Fuck him!"
As she spoke, Jiang Zhining threw herself into her work.
For a full eight hours, Jiang Zhining bent over and repeated the same work over and over again, without wasting any time.
The result was that Jiang Zhining was very tired, so she went to the small villa and started sleeping.
Jiang Zhining didn't know that falling asleep due to excessive fatigue had triggered a chain reaction.
