On a plane flying from the provincial capital of Sichuan Province to the provincial capital of Guizhou Province, Wen Baoer looked at the endless white clouds outside the window, full of expectations for the upcoming nanny life.

The day before yesterday, Master Jiang, whom she follows on Weibo, posted a recruitment announcement online, asking for two live-in nannies with excellent cooking skills and good housework. After being reminded by her best friend, she immediately submitted her electronic resume.

Then, yesterday afternoon she received a reply asking her to come for an interview this afternoon to discuss salary.

Although she did not say that she would definitely be admitted, Wen Baoer is still very confident in herself. Since she can break through the most difficult first level, she is not afraid of any opponent when it comes to actual practice.

The only thing she was a little uncertain about was whether Master Jiang could accept her recording her daily work and then editing it into short videos and uploading them to Douyin. This was the biggest motivation for her to apply for the nanny job.

"Master Jiang is such a good person, he should agree, right?" Wen Baoer murmured in his heart.

…

On a plane flying from the provincial capital of Lu Province to the provincial capital of Gui Province, Lu Yao was thinking about the upcoming nanny interview.

Lu Yao is 26 years old this year. She was born into an ordinary family in Shandong Province. Her parents run a Jianghu restaurant in the county. She has been helping in the restaurant since she was in the fourth or fifth grade of elementary school. By the time she was in junior high school, she could help cook.

By the time she was in high school, Lu Yao had learned every detail of her parents' crafts and became better than her masters.

After graduating from high school, Lu Yao dropped out of school because of poor grades and came back to run this Jianghu restaurant with her parents. After several years of training, Lu Yao's cooking skills have been improved to an extremely high level. Anyway, every diner can taste her dishes.

The dishes are all highly praised, and the number of repeat customers is increasing.

Therefore, Lu Yao and her parents decided to expand their business and make their Jianghu Restaurant bigger and stronger.

As a result, the ideal is plump, but the reality is very skinny.

After moving my Jianghu restaurant from a remote area to the center of the county, due to the enlarged space, the expenditure on various aspects has increased several times. The key is that the customer flow has also decreased.

After persisting for half a year, although the business picked up somewhat, the income was not half as much as before, which made the three Lu family regret it.

It was only after this experience that the Lu family understood that in the chef industry, it is not just that if you cook delicious food and then open a restaurant, you will definitely make money.

A good chef is not necessarily a good boss, this is really a wise saying!

Until the day before yesterday, Master Jiang, whom Lu Yao was following, published a recruitment revelation for live-in nannies on the Internet. She found that she fully met the recruitment requirements, so she submitted her resume with the mentality of giving it a try.

In the end, she was actually chosen.

This time she flew to the provincial capital of Guizhou Province for an interview to discuss salary. Lu Yao had silently set a bottom line in her heart. As long as the salary was not less than eight thousand a month, she would do it.

…

Four o'clock in the afternoon.

In the super mansion of Xipai Yujiang, Wen Baoer and Lu Yao were sitting on the sofa a little awkwardly.

Both of them come from ordinary families and have been living ordinary lives for more than 20 years. It is normal for them to feel a little cramped when they unexpectedly enter a super mansion that they have only seen on TV.

Sitting opposite them were a man and two women, one handsome and one beautiful. The handsome man was none other than Master Jiang, who was famous on the Internet. It was unclear who the other two beauties were.

In addition to these three people, there are two short-haired women sitting a little further away.

Although Wen Baoer and Lu Yao's powers of observation were not strong, they could still tell that there were some differences between the two short-haired women and the two beautiful women sitting in front of them. As for their identities, they did not know.

.

Jiang Feng looked them over and said, "Wen Baoer, Lu Yao, you two were carefully selected by me from nearly two thousand applicants. I am very optimistic about you. It is already four o'clock in the afternoon.

Next, you will cook dinner together and treat it as a test for you. If you pass the test, we can talk about the salary issue. What do you think?"

Wen Baoer and Lu Yao nodded together and said, "Okay, no problem."

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Okay, the kitchen is already stocked with sufficient ingredients and various seasonings. For seven people to eat, you can feel free to cook whatever you want."

Wen Baoer said hello to Lu Yao again, and then was guided to the kitchen area by one of the short-haired women.

Seeing the large and well-equipped multi-functional kitchen, Wen Baoer and Lu Yao couldn't help but their eyes lit up. For people who like to cook, cooking in a dark and cramped kitchen is not the same as a bright and spacious kitchen.

Cooking is really a completely different experience.

At this moment, the two couldn't help but look at each other, and then began to check the available ingredients in a tacit understanding.

After checking the ingredients, Wen Baoer took the lead and said, "Sister Yao, let's prepare five dishes each?"

"Okay, after the menu is finalized, let's review the dish names to avoid duplicating the dishes."

"Well, this is necessary."

…

An hour and a half later.

Jiang Feng, Huang Lingwei, Jiang Xue, Guo Bingbing, and Baili Wutong couldn't help but move their index fingers when they looked at the delicious dishes on the table.

In just one and a half hours, Wen Baoer and Lu Yao cooked nine dishes and one soup, including boiled chicken, mapo tofu, stewed crab meat and lion head, garlic bones, fish head and tofu soup, nine-turn large intestine, and spicy crab.

, sweet and sour carp, fried pork liver, braised cabbage.

The four dishes and one soup in the front are the masterpieces of Wen Baoer, and the five dishes in the back are the masterpieces of Lu Yao.

"It's really amazing. These nine dishes and one soup span Cantonese cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Jianghu cuisine and home cooking." Jiang Feng first praised, then picked up his chopsticks and greeted: "Everyone.

You're welcome, sit down together and taste the skills of these two beautiful chefs."

Huang Lingwei also smiled and praised: "It's quite impressive. The color of this dish is no worse than those of famous chefs."

"The smell of this dish makes me appetizing, so I'll start it first." Jiang Xue took the lead in using her chopsticks and picked up a piece of garlic bone and started eating it.

Guo Bingbing and Baili Wutong were not polite and extended their chopsticks to their favorite dishes.

Although they have only been working as bodyguards for a few days, the boss really has nothing to say to them. He eats and lives together and treats them like family members.

"Wow, these garlic bones are so fragrant. The texture is neither woody nor hard nor rotten. It is also very tasty. It tastes really unforgettable. Even the bones are fragrant."

“This Mapo Tofu is delicious, numb, spicy, hot, fragrant, crispy, tender, and fresh. It’s countless times better than the Mapo Tofu I’ve eaten before.”

"This stewed crab meat and lion's head is really amazing. It fills your mouth with fragrance after eating and leaves a fragrance on your teeth and cheeks. It is indeed a classic in Huaiyang cuisine."

"..."

After everyone started to taste it, there were endless praises for a while, which made Wen Baoer and Lu Yao feel very happy.

At this time, both of them had tasted each other's cooking, and both secretly admired each other. They felt that the other's cooking skills were really no worse than theirs, so it was no wonder that they were chosen by Master Jiang.

When he was almost finished eating, Jiang Feng put down his chopsticks, looked at Wen Baoer and Lu Yao and said, "With this meal, your cooking skills have been verified. Now let's talk about the salary you expect. If we can reach a consensus, then

You can officially go to work tomorrow."

Wen Baoer and Lu Yao looked at each other and put down their chopsticks in unison.

Guo Bingbing and Baili Wutong, the two drivers and bodyguards, also pricked up their ears, wondering what kind of salary these two live-in nannies, whose cooking skills were as good as those of the chefs, would offer.

As for Huang Lingwei and Jiang Xue, they were happily drinking fish head and tofu soup. They were full of confidence in Jiang Feng. Since they could be selected from so many applicants, it meant that they not only had superb cooking skills, but also their character.

There is definitely nothing to say about it.

Let them decide their own salary, and they won't be able to speak loudly.

Lu Yao pursed her lips and said, "Boss, I hope the salary will be no less than eight thousand a month."

Jiang Feng was noncommittal and turned his attention to Wen Baoer.

Wen Baoer hesitated for a moment, then expressed his thoughts and said: "Boss, I already said when I submitted my resume that I am a small creator in the field of short videos, mainly filming cooking.

The video is uploaded to Douyin.

Therefore, I only have one request, that is, I hope you, boss, can allow me to continue shooting videos and upload them to Douyin when I am cooking."

Jiang Feng nodded and said, "As long as privacy is not involved, it's okay to just shoot some cooking videos."

Wen Baoer's face showed joy and he quickly thanked me: "Thank you for your understanding, boss. Please take good care of me in the future."

Jiang Feng smiled slightly, looked at the two of them and continued: "As for your salary, it is currently tentatively set at 12,000 a month, with five insurances and one fund, business trip allowance and various subsidies. If you do well, you will also get a year-end bonus.

, if you agree, you can officially go to work tomorrow."

As soon as these words came out, both women showed expressions of surprise.

Especially Lu Yao, her expectation was that she could do it with a monthly salary of 8,000. Now Jiang Feng has directly increased this number by half. It would be strange for her not to be surprised!

What's more, I live in a super mansion, have the same food as my boss, and have five insurances, one housing fund and various subsidies. I don't know how many people will be envious and jealous of this kind of job benefits.

"Thank you boss, we will work hard and won't let you down."

…

Tuesday, August 8, 2023.

A city in Bay Province.

In the backyard of a valuable villa, an elderly man was lying on a rocking chair and basking in the sun. There was a man in his thirties waiting on him next to him.

At this time, the old man sighed softly.

The man waiting next to him asked: "Grandpa Zeng, do you miss your relatives on the mainland again?"

"well……"

Hearing this, the old man sighed again and said: "I really didn't expect that once we said goodbye, we would say goodbye forever. My parents must not be able to see each other, but I still have two younger brothers and a younger sister. I really can't find them."

You will never die with your eyes in peace!"

Qu Chunming understood the feelings of his great-grandfather. His great-grandfather was born in the era of war and chaos. He joined the Anti-Japanese War at the age of nineteen and then traveled to many places with the army. He did not even have the opportunity to write letters to his family.
