It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have the opportunity to work in the canteen of the bureau, and this opportunity is no less than a carp jumping over the dragon gate for the city from a small county town in the northwest.

The next day, the city got up early in the morning, hid in the bathroom and cleaned up for a long time before coming out, the beard that was not heavy was shaved clean, and the pants were still wearing the old military pants, but the upper body was changed into a clean and crisp white shirt, and it looked like people were a little more energetic.

Seeing that Man Cheng was in a hurry and ready to go out, Yao Yuan hurriedly stopped him, took out a pair of leather shoes worn by his father from the back room, handed them over, and motioned him to change them.

Man Cheng glanced at Yao Yuan gratefully, and without saying a word, he took off the old rubber shoes that exuded a peculiar smell and replaced them with Yao Dahai's pair of shiny three joints.

Yao Yuan looked up and down: "Well, that's right, Lao Pingcheng has a saying, called 'There are no shoes under the soles of the feet', and the people in the agency pay attention to their appearance, and they can't be sloppy on their shoes." ”

Man Cheng thanked him again and again, stepped on his clattering leather shoes, and went downstairs.

Yao Xiaohua'er's blessing came from behind him: "Come on!" Potato! ”

The three of them chatted late last night, and as soon as they heard that Mancheng was also a chef, Yao Yuan suddenly became interested and began to inquire about the details of his work in the army.

No way, cooking soldiers, this is a profession that has been deified in later generations, legend has it that the cooking soldiers of our army can cook with a frying spoon, and can fight with a steel gun, and their military skills are particularly prominent, and their personal abilities are not inferior to those special forces.

Once, in the big competition, two cooks passed by the command center of the blue side of the exercise in the process of delivering food, and they easily brought the commander of the other family to a pot of legends.

If that's the case, then the cooking soldier is a terrible profession, and he must be regarded as a martial champion in the kitchen door.

It's a pity that I finally got some information from Mancheng's mouth, and I found that it wasn't like that at all.

First of all, Mancheng's troops are only responsible for the garrison of key national defense projects, and they are not front-line combat troops at all, and what is even more outrageous is that Mancheng, as a cooking soldier at the base, is actually raising pigs, in addition to raising pigs, the most they do in the kitchen is washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, and steaming steamed buns.

This soldier is a bit boring.

The so-called cooking soldiers, co-authored more opportunities to cook for pigs than for people, worked hard as a soldier for three years, and did not learn anything except raising pigs and steaming steamed buns.

That is, more than a month before he retired, he was transferred back to the kitchen, and then he had the opportunity to stand in front of the stove and learn to cook seriously for a few days.

The experience of being a soldier in Mancheng made Yao Xiaohua feel pitiful, and Yao Yuan felt that he came to Pingcheng to find a job this time, and his prospects might not be so optimistic.

The canteen of a dignified bureau of the Foreign Languages Bureau must have minimum requirements for the chefs who join the company, and with the experience of Mancheng, I am afraid that the application for helpers is not qualified.

But this situation can not be said to Mancheng directly, hearing Mancheng introduce the life of his family in that small county, it is simply too bitter, located in the most inland area of the country, but the climate is still dry and rainless, the local people even have daily drinking water is difficult, can have the opportunity to leave the bitter nest to work in the metropolis, which is self-evident for Mancheng, it is really not possible to discourage his enthusiasm at this time.

And Mancheng's honest and simple temperament is also very likable, and it can be seen that even Yao Xiaohuaer sincerely hopes that Mancheng will apply for the job this time and have a good result.

The door was closed, and the brother and sister went back to their respective rooms, each busy with their own business.

……

It wasn't even noon when I heard a knock at the door.

Yao Xiaohua'er ran over and rushed to open the door, and when she looked at the door, it was Xie Lao'er, her upturned braids drooped down again, said hello perfunctorily, and went back to her house by herself.

"Yuan'er! This time something happened to our family, my grandmother was seriously ill and hospitalized, and she needed money for surgery, and my mother began to sell the house again! As soon as Xie Lao Pao entered the door, he didn't wait to sit down, and then poured out in one go.

Yao Yuan was taken aback: "What's the matter?" Didn't you tell your aunt everything? Your bungalow is about to be demolished, and it's too much of a loss to sell it now, doesn't your aunt believe it? ”

"No, my grandmother found out that there was a tumor in her stomach, and she had to have surgery as soon as possible, and the operation cost was at least 70,000 yuan, and the family really couldn't make it up." Old Claw Xie was a little depressed.

It was already said that this small courtyard would not be sold even if it was not demolished, so it was left to him, the eldest son of the family, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen again, and he saw that the house that was about to be handed over was about to be gone. But there is no way, the money for treating diseases and saving lives, even if it is to smash the pot and sell iron, you have to make it up, that is your own grandmother.

Yao Yuan smacked his lips and digested the information in Xie Lao'er's words: "Then did you ask the family?" How much is there to make up? ”

"The doctor said that the hospitalization fee plus the surgery fee and the medicine fee are estimated to be at least 70,000 yuan, and now the family can make up 40,000 yuan if they are full, and there is a difference of at least 30,000 yuan!"

"When will this money be used? It won't be right away, right? Yao Yuan asked thoughtfully.

Xie Lao'er's eyes flashed, and he looked at Yao Yuan: "It's not so urgent, I estimate that it can be delayed for about a month, now that the hospitalization fee is already paid, it will take time to arrange surgery." ”

Yao Yuan nodded, and Xie Laopao'er looked at Yao Yuan with more eagerness: "I think so, once that house is sold, there will be no more, if we work hard during this time to increase the sales of stew, how much can we make up, how much can I make up a little here, I can go home and discuss with my mother, even if they go where to borrow a little, don't you have to sell the house?" ”

Yao Yuan then nodded, Xie Lao'er's idea is very right, the matter of curing diseases and saving lives cannot be delayed, selling the house to raise money is the last step, and you can't go until you have to. Fortunately, there is still some time, since there is a shortage of money, then go to the street to earn it, this is the right thing.

"But have you thought about it, even if we work hard to achieve a sales volume of 200 bowls a day, and the profit is only about 20,000 yuan in a month, it is still not enough?" Yao Yuan stared at Old Claw's eyes and asked.

"20,000 is a lot! If I can make a profit of 20,000 yuan, can I get 7,000 of it? Even if it's less than seven thousand, even if it's five thousand! I, who is still a student, can make up 5,000 yuan, so I dare to open my mouth with my mother and ask them to think of a way again, and they can't sell the house! "What Old Claw Xie said is reasonable.

Then he added: "Of course, if it is really not enough in the end, this broken yard will be sold and sold, and it will be bought back after Lao Tzu earns money, anyway, I can't delay my grandmother's medical treatment." ”

Yao Yuan clapped his hands: "Okay, just have your words, just don't be tired!" I don't have anything to use the money, I go back and make money, you on my side take it to the emergency first, Hongyu I estimate that the situation is similar, as long as we sell it well during this time, if you can't get it, you will get the difference of 30,000 yuan! ”

After getting the words from Yao Yuan's side, Xie Lao'er's face immediately turned from cloudy to sunny, and he rubbed his hands excitedly: "Don't be afraid to be tired, I am responsible for pulling the evening every night, two hundred bowls of stew, and if you don't sell out, you won't close the stall!" ”

Yao Yuan also felt very pleased: "You said that we were selling braised stew for fun, but now we can help the family so much, I didn't expect it!" ”

Xie Laopao'er nodded and said: "But, Yuan'er, do you want to go home with me, tell your family first, you saved up the matter of selling braised boil, I told them alone that I was afraid that they wouldn't believe it, don't look back, we are still working hard here, the house has been sold over there, and we will be busy in vain." ”

Xie Laopao'er is right, there is such a big thing in the family, such a large amount of money, no parent will make a decision based on the child's words, unless it is to explain the current business situation and future expected income of the stewed stall as it is.

Yao Yuan stood up: "Okay, when you go to the grocery store to pick up the goods in a while, you call your mother out, and let's talk to her together, but you can tell us what we have at noon first, Xiaohua'er and I are still hungry now." ”

Before Xie Laopao answered, there was another knock at the door.

Little Flower staggered to the door, opened the door, and at the door, a potato brother wearing a white shirt with three big leather shoes stood there hanging his head.

Xiaohua'er stared at the city with big eyes: "What's the matter?" Applying for a job is not going well? ”

Man Cheng shook his head and didn't speak.

Seeing this, Yao Yuan hurriedly greeted him: "What's wrong with the city, what's the situation?" Let's talk about it first! ”

"Originally, it was quite smooth, and people were quite welcome when they heard that I was coming down from the army, but then they came to a leader and asked me to fry two dishes and try it." Mancheng spoke in a very small voice, and at first glance he was shocked.

Yao Yuan asked, "Do you still try the dishes?" You didn't say you were applying for a helper? ”

"I said it, my introducer also helped to speak, but the leader didn't do it, not to mention that the three-year cooking soldier must have great ability, so he had to let me show my hands." Man Cheng's face looked even more uncomfortable.

Ha, still show your hands? Let the city show them how to raise pigs?

Xiaohua'er raised her head and asked anxiously: "Then have you stir-fried for them?" ”

"The leader asked me to fry a shredded potato for them, and then fry a piece of shredded pork, I will shredded potatoes, but I don't know what the shredded pork is, how to fry it for others?" Speaking of this, several organs on Manchengyuan's face were almost all put together, and he was about to cry when he saw it.

"Hey, what's the meat? That's called grunt meat! It is the most popular Cantonese dish outside. Yao Yuan couldn't help but explain.

Xiaohua'er was even more anxious: "What about the last?" What do you say in the end? ”

Man Cheng cried with a sad face: "Their leaders asked me if I would like to go to the production base in the bureau to raise pigs!" ”
