As a matchmaker, I'm not convinced by anyone

Chapter 295

On a certain plane flying from the provincial capital of Sichuan Province to the provincial capital of Guizhou Province, Wen Baoer looked at the continuous white clouds outside the window, and was full of expectations for the upcoming nanny life in her heart.

The day before yesterday, Master Jiang, whom she followed on Weibo, published a recruitment notice on the Internet, needing to recruit two live-in nannies who are skilled in cooking and good at 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 over for an interview this afternoon to discuss her salary.

Although she didn't say that she would definitely be admitted, Wen Baoer still had great confidence in herself. Since she was able to break through the most difficult first level, she would not be afraid of any opponent when it came to the actual practice.

The only thing that is a little uncertain is whether Master Jiang can accept her to record her usual work and then edit it into a short video and upload it to Douyin. This is the biggest motivation for her to apply for a nanny.

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

……

On a certain 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. She was born in an ordinary family in Lu Province. Her parents run a Jianghu restaurant in the county. She has been helping in the restaurant since she was in the fourth and fifth grades of elementary school, and she was able to help with cooking in junior high school.

When she was in high school, Lu Yao learned a lot about her parents' crafts, and became better than blue.

After graduating from high school, because of poor grades, Lu Yao dropped out of school and came back to run this Jianghu restaurant with her parents. After several years of training, Lu Yao's cooking skills have been raised to a very high level. Anyway, every diner eats her The dishes are full of praise, and more and more repeat customers.

So, once Lu Yao and her parents got together, they planned 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 central area of ​​the county, due to the larger shop, the expenditure in various aspects has increased several times, the key is that the passenger flow has also decreased.

After persisting for half a year, although the business picked up somewhat, the earning was not half of what it was before, which made the three members of the Lu family regret it.

It was also through this experience that the three members of the Lu family realized that in the industry of chefs, it's really not that you can cook delicious food and then open a restaurant to make money.

A good chef is not necessarily a good boss, it is really a wise saying!
Until the day before yesterday, Master Jiang, whom Lu Yao followed, published the recruitment notice of live-in nanny 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 indeed chosen.

This time, she flew to the provincial capital of Guizhou Province to interview and discuss salary. Lu Yao had silently set the bottom line in her heart, as long as the salary was not less than [-] a month, then she would do it.

……

Four p.m.

In the super mansion of Xipai Yujiang, Wen Baoer and Lu Yao sat on the sofa somewhat cramped.

Both of them came from ordinary families, and they have lived an ordinary life for more than 20 years. It is quite normal for them to suddenly enter a super mansion that they have only seen on TV, and they are a little cramped.

There was a man and two women sitting opposite them. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. That handsome man was none other than Master Jiang, who had a great reputation on the Internet. It was unclear who the other two beauties were.

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

Although Wen Baoer and Lu Yao's observation skills are not strong, they can also see that these two short-haired women are somewhat different from the two beautiful women sitting in front of them. As for their identities, they don't know up.

Jiang Feng took a look at them and said, "Wen Baoer, Lu Yao, you two were carefully selected by me from nearly [-] applicants. I am quite optimistic about you. It is already four o'clock in the afternoon. Afterwards, you will cook dinner together as a test for you, if you pass the test, we will talk about the treatment, what do you think?"

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

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Okay, there are enough ingredients and various seasonings in the kitchen. If seven people eat, you are free to make whatever dishes you want."

Wen Baoer and Lu Yao said hello again, and then they went to the kitchen area under the guidance of one of the short-haired women.

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

At this moment, the two couldn't help but glance at each other, and then began to check the existing ingredients tacitly.

After inspecting the ingredients, Wen Baoer took the lead and said, "Sister Yao, can we make five dishes each?"

"Okay, after the menu is confirmed, let's check the names of the dishes again, so as not to repeat the dishes."

"Well, it's a must."

……

After an hour and a half.

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

In just one and a half hours, Wen Baoer and Lu Yao made nine dishes and one soup, which were white-cut chicken, mapo tofu, stewed crab powder lion head, garlic bone, fish head tofu soup, nine-turn large intestine, spicy crab , sweet and sour carp, fried pork liver, soy cabbage.

The first four dishes and one soup are the masterpieces of Wen Baoer, and the last five dishes 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 praised first, then picked up his chopsticks, and greeted: "Everyone You're welcome, let's sit down and taste the craftsmanship of these two beautiful chefs."

Huang Lingwei also praised with a smile: "It's quite amazing, just looking at the color of this dish is no worse than those famous chefs."

"The smell of this dish will make you appetite, so I'll start it first." Jiang Xue took the lead in moving her chopsticks, and started to eat with a piece of garlic bone.

Guo Bingbing and Baili Wutong were also not polite, they stretched their chopsticks towards their favorite dishes.

Although they have only been bodyguards for a few days, the boss really has nothing to say to the two of them. They eat and live together, and really treat them like family members.

"Wow, this garlic bone is so fragrant. It's neither hard nor rotten. It's quite delicious. It's really memorable. Even the bone is fragrant."

"This mapo tofu is delicious. Spicy, spicy, hot, fragrant, crispy, tender, and fresh. It is many times more delicious than the mapo tofu I have eaten before."

"This stewed lion's head with crab powder is really amazing. After eating, it is full of fragrance, and the fragrance lingers on the teeth and cheeks. It is indeed a classic of Huaiyang cuisine."

"..."

After everyone started to taste, the voice of admiration was endless for a while, and Wen Baoer and Lu Yao were overjoyed to hear it.

At this time, both of them had tasted each other's cooking skills, and both secretly admired each other, feeling that the other's cooking skills were indeed no worse than their own, no wonder they were selected by Master Jiang.

When he was almost done eating, Jiang Feng put down his chopsticks, looked at Wen Baoer and Lu Yao and said, "Your cooking skills have been verified for this meal, so let's talk about your expected salary. If we can reach a consensus, then You can go to work tomorrow."

Wen Baoer and Lu Yao looked at each other, and put down their chopsticks at the same time.

Guo Bingbing and Baili Wutong, the two drivers and bodyguards, also pricked up their ears, wanting to know what kind of salary these two live-in nannies who are as good at cooking as chefs will offer.

As for Huang Lingwei and Jiang Xue, they drank the fish head tofu soup happily. They were full of confidence in Jiang Feng. Since they could be selected from so many applicants, it meant that they not only possessed superb cooking skills, but also had a good reputation in terms of character. There is definitely nothing to say about it.

Let them talk about their salary, and it is impossible for them to open their mouths.

Lu Yao pursed her lips and said, "Boss, I hope my salary will not be less than [-] a month."

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

Wen Baoer hesitated for a moment, but still spoke out her thoughts, and said, "Boss, I already said when I submitted my resume that I am a small creator in the field of short videos, and I mainly shoot some cooking videos. The video is uploaded to Douyin.

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

Jiang Feng nodded and said, "As long as it doesn't involve privacy, it's fine to just shoot some cooking videos."

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

Jiang Feng smiled slightly, looked at the two of them and continued: "As for your salary, it is tentatively set at [-] a month, with five social insurances and one housing fund, travel subsidies and various subsidies, and a year-end bonus if you do well. If you agree, you can officially go to work tomorrow.”

As soon as these words came out, the two women showed surprise expressions.

Especially Lu Yao, her expectation is that she can do it with a monthly salary of [-]. Now that Jiang Feng has directly increased this figure by half, it's no wonder she is not surprised!

What's more, I live in a super luxury house, eat the same grade as the boss, and have five social insurances, one housing fund and various subsidies. I don't know how many people envy and hate this kind of work treatment.

"Thank you boss, we will definitely work hard and will not let you down."

……

Tuesday, April 2023, 8.

A city in the Bay Area.

In the backyard of a valuable villa, an elderly man is lying on a rocking chair basking in the sun, and a man in his 30s is waiting beside him.

At this time, the old man sighed lightly.

The man waiting beside asked, "Grandpa Zeng, do you miss your relatives on the mainland again?"

"Ugh……"

The old man sighed again when he heard the words, and said: "I really didn't expect that once we parted back then, it would be a farewell forever. My parents must never see them again, but I still have two younger brothers and one younger sister. I really don't know if I can't find them." What is more, I will die without regret!"

Qu Chunming understood his great-grandfather's feelings. His great-grandfather was born in the turbulent years of war. He joined the Anti-Japanese War at the age of 19, and then moved around with the army. He didn't even have the opportunity to write letters to his family.

After several years of arduous resistance, although he was lucky enough to survive the catastrophe, he also lost contact with his family.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Grandpa Zeng felt that he had finally endured the end. He had just packed his luggage and was about to go back to his hometown to find his relatives, but he was told by his superiors that they were required to settle in Hangzhou.

Not long after arriving in Hangzhou, Grandpa Zeng was sent to Zhong Hai again.

Here in Zhonghai, there were about 4000 people with Grandpa Zeng, and they were ordered to go to the Bay Province to train recruits.

Later, I understood everything. Since then, Grandpa Zeng and the mainland have faced each other across the sea, and returning to his hometown to visit relatives has become a luxury.

It wasn't until the end of the 80s that when the ice broke across the Taiwan Strait, Grandpa Zeng finally had the opportunity to return to the mainland to look for relatives.

However, after more than [-] years, things have changed in my hometown, and I can no longer find anyone I know. After several inquiries, I found out that their village was slaughtered by bandits during the turbulent years.

Hearing the news, Grandpa Zeng's eyes darkened and he almost fainted.

Unwilling to believe this fact, Grandpa Zeng searched everywhere, but unfortunately he couldn't find any news about his relatives. In the end, he could only return to the Bay Area with regret.

In the next thirty years, Grandpa Zeng never gave up the idea of ​​finding the whereabouts of his relatives, but it is a pity that the relatives in mainland China seem to have disappeared out of thin air, and there is no clue.

The whole Qu family had already come to a conclusion in their minds, that is, Grandpa Zeng's relatives in the mainland probably died in that bandit massacre of the village, but no one dared to mention it in front of Grandpa Zeng.

In recent years, Grandpa Zeng seems to have accepted this result. It's just that when people get old, they tend to miss their hometown and relatives. Grandpa Zeng is already a hundred years old this year, and his longing for relatives has reached its peak.

After all, an old man at this age will be buried in the ground at any time, and if he can't find his relatives, he can only leave with regret.

Seeing the unwillingness in Grandpa Zeng's eyes, Qu Chunming thought for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "Grandpa Zeng, you have gone back to the mainland to find relatives seven or eight times in the past few decades, and then use conventional methods to find relatives. I'm afraid there is no hope.

Maybe we can try another way? "

Qu Guanghua's eyes flashed, he grabbed the great-grandson's hand and said, "What can you do?"

Qu Chunming said: "Grandpa Zeng, it's like this. I chatted with my former middle school teacher a few days ago, and he mentioned a strange man who was honored as Master Jiang. Can and is currently the most famous master of fortune telling in mainland China, why don't we ask Master Jiang to help us calculate and see if we can figure out something..."

Hearing this, Qu Guanghua sat up from the rocking chair, and asked excitedly, "Chunming, you didn't lie to me? Is there really such a powerful master?"

Qu Chunming nodded affirmatively and said: "That's what my middle school teacher told me. His daughter is the matchmaker made by that Master Jiang. He introduced this Master Jiang to me. His original intention was to ask me to invite Master Jiang. matchmaker.

I also checked online, that Master Jiang has only become famous in the last six months, and he has been a matchmaker for many big stars and wealthy people, so this Master Jiang has real skills in all likelihood. "

　Thank you, I seem to have seen you, and sadness may be just a kind of disease, for the rewards of the two big guys.
