WLAEF 97




Chapter 97

When Shen Feng Ming returned to the Division, Yang Sheng immediately greeted him. In the past few days, he had been wanting to ask, what happened to him and Jiang Yun Zhu? Afraid of affecting them, he had been afraid to see her. It had almost bored him to death.

Shen Feng Ming told him about Jiang Yun Zhu hiring people and his thoughts.

"Miss Jiang is going to open a restaurant? When will it open?" Yang Sheng asked impatiently. Hearing Shen Feng Ming's latter words, he thought of those who were forced to leave Qilin Guards and his expression gradually became serious.

Those people... It was a pity.

"You think about them." Yang Cheng looked at Shen Feng Ming and smiled. His boss, seemingly ruthless, was much better than those hypocritical people.

To those people, going to work in Jiang Yun Zhu's restaurant may be a chance for rebirth.

Shen Feng Ming looked at him with glacier-like eyes.

Yang Sheng meekly put away his smile, but said, "I wonder if those people know how to work as a server. How about I go and watch them?"

Speaking halfway, Shen Feng Ming had already penetrated his aim. He wanted to go to Jiang Yun Zhu's for meals and still had to find a reason. Although those people had left the Qilin Guard, they all knew how to measure boundaries.They could serve, right?

Yang Sheng smiled awkwardly, don't expose him!

Since Jiang Yun Zhu wanted to hire six people, Yang Sheng carefully considered the candidates.

Afterward, he went to the place where the Division trains new recruits. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a gentle-looking man about to go out.

When the man saw him, he showed a gentle smile and bowed, "Deputy Chief."

Yang Sheng looked him up and down. Yun Du, twenty-three years old this year. Don't judge him by his current state. When he picked up a sword, he was like a different person. extremely fierce.

Especially when he saw someone hurting a child, he would become more violent.

It was that case again, which affected him too much. Those scumbags... Thinking of that case, Yang Sheng was furious. Those beasts! Should have cut them into pieces.

Speaking of Yun Du, everyone knew that something was wrong with him. He knew it too. So he had no choice but to retire.

He had been in Qilin Guard since he was young. After leaving, the smile on his face had become more and more gentle, but the grayness in his eyes had become more and more gray.

Yang Sheng stopped there and asked him, "Do you want to find a job?"

The smile on Yun Du's face slowly disappeared.

...

Two days later, Jiang Yun Zhu saw Shen Feng Ming, Yang Sheng, and six others.

Two women and four men. Of the two women, one was in her twenties. Beautiful with a bit of aloofness. While the other was in her thirties. Full of peach and plum, with a smile on her face.

Four men. Two in their twenties. Both of them were very handsome, but their expressions were very contrasting. One smiled warmly, like the sun of spring, while the other had a cold face, like ice from deep below.

The remaining two men were about forty years old; one had a resolute face, while the other had a thin body.

Yang Sheng introduced them one by one, "Zheng Li Niang, Jin Jiao Yue, Yun Du, Zhang He, Zhan Chang Chuan, Wu Yu. Zhang He's cooking skills aren't bad. The rest of them were literate and can do accounts. They can also work as servers. Miscellaneous chores aren’t a problem either."

It wasn’t just no problem! They were all overqualified. Jiang Yun Zhu had an eye for people, otherwise she wouldn't be able to take care of everything for Lin Ting An in her dream. She could tell at a glance that these people were all very extraordinary.

She looked at Shen Feng Ming. Was this okay?

Shen Feng Ming nodded. Yang Sheng had already asked them and they were willing to come.

Though the eye exchange between the two was brief, it caught everyone's attention.

Yang Sheng was naturally overjoyed. The 10,000-year-old iron tree finally bloomed. It didn't waste his efforts.

Yun Du and the others felt in awe. This miss and Commissioner-in-chief Shen... They seem to have discovered some big secret.

They snuck a glance at Jiang Yun Zhu and saw that her skin was like snow, powdered and delicate, like apricot blossoms in spring. Such a miss was a match for Commissioner-in-chief Shen in terms of appearance. If the two stand together, they must be as beautiful as a painting.

It was just someone like Commissioner-in-chief Shen...it was hard to imagine how the two would get along.

Putting aside the huge waves in the hearts of several people, Jiang Yun Zhu looked at them and decided to make things clear, "Are you willing to come and work in my store? I need a cook, a manager, three servers, and a choreperson.

In terms of salary, depending on the level of cooking skills of the cook, it’s roughly between two liang and six liang. Of course, if the cooking skills are particularly good, we can discuss it again.

The Manager is estimated to be three liang per month.

Servers and choreperson, one liang per month." 

This price was set by Jiang Yun Zhu with the reference to the prices and salary levels in the capital. It wasn't too low.

The six nodded.

It seemed that it was possible, Jiang Yun Zhu looked at Zhang He, "You know how to cook?"

"A little bit." Zhang He replied.

Jiang Yun Zhu asked him to go to the kitchen with her. The kitchen in this courtyard didn’t need to be redecorated. There were some kitchen utensils left by Boss Pan in it. It was enough to test Zhang He's cooking skills.

Zhang He had a cold face. He picked up a radish and started to cook.

Jiang Yun Zhu was already used to Shen Feng Ming's coldness and seemed to be somewhat immune to the coldness. She didn't think there was anything wrong with him being like this.

Swish, swish, swish. The shadow of the knife fluttered. Shortly later, a radish was sliced into thin slices.

The thin slices were so sheer, it was almost see through. Each slice was the same size and thickness.

Jiang Yun Zhu knew that his knife skills had at least reached the peak. Even if his cooking skills weren't very good, this knife skill alone was more than enough to help her and Xue Jing in the kitchen.

At this time, Zhang He picked up the oil pan and started to stir fry the radish slices.

Looking at his movements, Jiang Yun Zhu's eyes lit up. His cooking skills looked good.

"Who did you learn from?" She asked in surprise. Was there someone in Qilin Guards who teaches cooking?

"When I'm free, I practice by myself." Zhang He answered briefly. In fact, many people in Qilin Guards have their own hobbies. They would even madly do what they like to do to relax their bodies and minds.

Zhang He liked to chop vegetables when he had nothing to do. Cooking was secondary.

Jiang Yun Zhu had nothing to say.

After a while, after the dish was fried, she took a bite. Her face changed a few times and then she asked Zhang He in a deliberate tone, "Do you usually eat your own cooking?"

"Don't eat." Zhang He said. He cooked too much every time. How could he possibly eat them all?

No wonder. 

"Then what do you do with the dishes you usually cook?" Jiang Yun Zhu was curious.

"I cook in the Qilin Guards canteen. They probably eat all the dishes I cook," Zhang He answered.

Jiang Yun Zhu seriously suspected that Qilin Guard was afraid of his cooking. That’s why Yang Sheng sent him to her. His dish was too salty.

"Would you like to try this dish you made?" She suggested.

Zhang He looked at her and frowned.

Jiang Yun Zhu handed him a pair of chopsticks. If he refuses to taste it, forget it. She might not be able to hire him.

Zhang He hesitated for a while, took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of radish and put it in his mouth.

Then Jiang Yun Zhu saw that his indifferent face was fluctuating.

Actually, it was kind of funny.

Zhang He forcefully swallowed the piece of radish. His eyes were swimming a little. Was the dish he cooked so unpalatable? Why had no one told him before?

Who would dare to tell him! That cold face of his was only slightly better than that of Commissioner-in-chief Shen.

Besides, he was the one who saved everyone's lives in that surprise attack. Since he only had this one hobby, it wasn't easy for everyone to put him down.

"Do you want to make something delicious?" Jiang Yun Zhu asked. If he was willing to learn, it was worth cultivating. At least he had a good grasp of knife skills and fire.

Zhang He nodded, he was willing to learn. Once he makes something delicious, he’ll let his brothers eat it. It would be regarded as repaying their previous favor.

He was still suitable. Jiang Yun Zhu picked up a radish and taught on the spot.

"Your knife skills are very good, but if you want to make a good dish, it isn't enough to cut each slice into the same thickness. It depends on the condition of the vegetable or meat. For example, look at this radish. The part near the radish leaf, the flesh is a little harder. It should be cut thinner than the bottom. That way, it would be evenly fried.

And..." Jiang Yun Zhu explained while doing it. Her fingers were as light as butterflies, and her voice was like a clear spring in the mountains. It made people unconsciously attracted.

Zhang He stood by and watched her busy away. His heart, which was depressed all day long, seemed to finally find peace.

The sun came in from the window. It was warm. He suddenly realized that there were so many ways to cook. Compared with Jiang Yun Zhu, his past chopping and cooking vegetables was out of love, but to divert his attention and vent his emotions.

Only now did he feel that maybe he could study how to cook.

The two of them were in the kitchen. One was serious about teaching, while the other was serious about studying. From time to time, there were various sounds coming out. The few people outside were watching and listening. They felt a sense of tranquility.

Was this life? A small radish seemed to have endless fun.

They have been holding knives for so long that they seem to have forgotten this feeling.

Inexplicably, they want to try the dishes made by Jiang Yun Zhu. They should be delicious!

At this time, a cold light swept over. The several people became vigilant. Alright, they had I almost forgot. Commissioner-in-chief Shen was present. They probably don't have this dish.

However, if they stay and work, will they be able to in the future?

"Aren’t I treating you very well?" Yang Sheng said bitterly at this moment. He hadn't eaten the meal made by Jiang Yun Zhu yet and had missed it for a long time.

Several people had different expressions. Still, they felt that it seemed to be good.

Just like that, several people stayed behind. Except for Zhang He as the cook, Jiang Yun Zhu had to observe the rest of the people before deciding what to do.

It so happened that the store decoration was short of manpower. They could help.

So Jiang Yun Zhu made an agreement with them to try out for three days first. Then she’ll discuss with them the specific matters of hiring workers after three days.

Suddenly having so many people and all of them were capable, Jiang Yun Zhu instantly felt much more relaxed.

"Miss Jiang, when will the restaurant open?" Yang Sheng finally got the chance to talk to Jiang Yun Zhu.

"It will probably be half a month later." Jiang Yun Zhu replied.

"So long." Yang Sheng's face twisted together.

Jiang Yun Zhu smiled. For so many days, she had been eating the food in the inn. In fact, she was getting tired of eating it. Now that someone was helping with the work, she had time to cook.

"Do you want to have dinner together tonight?" She asked Yang Sheng.

Yang Sheng nodded at once. 

Jiang Yun Zhu looked at Shen Feng Ming again, "Tonight, do you want to stay..." 

Looking at his darker eyes, she suddenly felt that this invitation seemed inappropriate.
