Chapter 532 - 287: The Clown Was Actually Myself
He Chunsheng had no choice but to stay in the first-floor kitchen, so he looked calm, watching the commotion with an expression that shifted from Xiong Zhengtao to Niu Daqiang.
Xiong Zhengtao and Niu Daqiang exchanged glances but said nothing for a moment.
Everyone knew that Jiang Yu’s current focus was on the seventh dining room on the second floor. If one wanted to learn cooking skills, the second-floor kitchen was the better choice.
Moreover, the second floor was a small kitchen. It’s not just quiet with fewer people, the key point was that they didn’t make large pot dishes there, but small pot dishes.
At this moment, Xiong Zhengtao was very conflicted inside, not knowing what to say.
Although he wanted to go to the second-floor kitchen, making small pot dishes was his specialty.
But he wondered, would it seem like he was avoiding hard work and being too selfish if he said so directly in front of so many people?
Just as he was hesitating, Niu Daqiang, who was sitting next to him, suddenly spoke up in a muffled voice:
"Boss, I’ll just stay in the first-floor kitchen!"
"Oh? Why?"
Jiang Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at him curiously.
Xiong Zhengtao also turned his head in surprise to look at him. He never expected Niu Daqiang to suddenly suggest staying in the first-floor kitchen!
Didn’t he know that in every aspect, the second-floor kitchen was better than the first-floor kitchen?
It’s not just a little better, but a lot better!
"Uh, I prefer cooking with big pots. I got used to it in the army."
Niu Daqiang scratched his head, a bit embarrassed, and said,
"The first-floor kitchen is quite similar to the army’s kitchen, bustling; I like the liveliness."
"Well, it’s true, the first-floor kitchen is quite lively with many people."
Listening to him, Jiang Yu couldn’t help but laugh, nodding,
"Alright, Da Qiang, you stay in the first-floor kitchen. I’ll assign specific dishes for you to make later."
As he spoke, he looked at Xiong Zhengtao and said with a smile, "Xiaoxiong, you have no choice, you’ll have to go to the second floor."
Xiong Zhengtao was still pondering. He realized that Niu Daqiang was a former military cook, which explained why he chose to cook large pot dishes on the first floor, seeming to reminisce about his time in the military.
Suddenly hearing Jiang Yu talking to him, he quickly snapped back to reality, nodding repeatedly:
"Sure, I’ll follow the boss’s arrangements!"
He originally thought they might be arguing whether to stay on the first floor or go to the second floor for a while, yet it was settled within just a few sentences, which genuinely surprised Xiong Zhengtao and made him secretly sigh in relief.
Good thing he didn’t rush to speak up and argue earlier, or it would have been quite embarrassing.
"Currently, the seventh dining room is open five days a week. On Saturdays and Sundays, you can take one day off and come to the first-floor kitchen to let the colleagues there take turns resting."
Jiang Yu didn’t know what Xiong Zhengtao was thinking. He glanced at Xiong Zhengtao again and continued,
"I’ll give you three two days to handle personal matters. After two days, you officially start work, but you won’t have as much time to rest once you start."
He smiled at everyone and added,
"Is there any other issue? If not, let’s leave it at that. You can go back and get ready, and come to start work in two days."
"Boss!"
As soon as Jiang Yu finished speaking, Niu Daqiang raised his hand. When Jiang Yu looked over, he continued to ask,
"I want to ask if there are any houses for rent in the school? The place I lived in before is too far from here, making it inconvenient to travel back and forth, so I want to move over here for more convenience and to save time."
"In the school? I’ve never heard of any houses for rent in the school."
Jiang Yu thought for a moment and shook his head,
"But if you want to rent nearby, you can rent in the neighborhood opposite the school gate. The houses there are not expensive to rent and are much cheaper than those in the city."
Niu Daqiang nodded: "Oh, then I’ll go take a look in a bit."
"Don’t wait, just go take a look now."
Jiang Yu stood up from his seat, smiling,
"Oh, by the way, the cafeteria won’t be closed during the summer vacation, but the work will be relatively more relaxed. By then, Xiaowu will rearrange the work schedule, so just keep an eye on it.
The seventh dining room on the second floor remains the same as usual.
Alright, if there’s nothing else, let’s leave it at that. Take care of your personal matters quickly, and start officially working in two days."
Since the boss said so, Xiong Zhengtao, Niu Daqiang, and He Chunsheng stood up quickly, said goodbye to the boss, and hurriedly left the cafeteria.
Having successfully been hired as chefs at the Seventh Dining Hall, they had to quickly share the good news with their family and friends.
No matter what, there had to be a big celebration tonight!
...
The recruitment of chefs for the Seventh Dining Hall had been successfully completed. The addition of new blood would undoubtedly inject new vitality into the somewhat dull kitchen work.
Lu Shuwu said: "Post this news on our dining hall’s Douyin account, and by the way, also announce that ’Seventh Dining Hall remains open during summer vacation’!"
"Xiaowu, you were always urging Boss Xiao Jiang to find a girlfriend. Actually, I think you are the one who really needs to find a girlfriend."
