Brush Up Your Proficiency

"Is Qiangzi home?" Wang Hao called out as he arrived at Li Qiang's doorstep, yet he didn't walk straight through the open gate like the other villagers.

Perhaps this was because he had lived in the city for too long and had developed a habit—never to intrude without the homeowner's permission.

Li Qiang's house was newly built when he got married, and it was considered one of the more luxurious buildings on their street.

There was a traditional custom in the village: the higher the threshold, the more face people felt they had.

Although this concept was just a traditional perception, Li Qiang's family was clearly influenced by this ideology when building this house. They built the gate very conspicuously, and the threshold was also built relatively high, making it look very impressive.

"Haozi, I'm home, come in!" Li Qiang's voice came from afar.

Hearing Li Qiang's response, Wang Hao stepped onto the steps and walked towards the door.

As soon as he walked into the corridor of the gate, Li Qiang walked up to him.

Seeing his sleepy eyes and blurry face, Wang Hao knew he had just woken up from his afternoon nap.

"You're really enjoying life, sleeping until this hour!" Wang Hao patted Li Qiang's shoulder and joked.

"There's nothing to do at home anyway. After eating, I looked at my phone for a while and fell asleep." Li Qiang said with a hearty laugh. His words also expressed the lifestyle of most young people returning to the village: it's truly comfortable, but also truly boring.

"What are you looking for me for? There's nothing to do around here now. We can't go to internet cafes like when we were kids, can we?"

Li Qiang knew that Wang Hao's family had also finished harvesting wheat. Now that he came to him, he guessed it was to go out and play together to kill the boring time. With this thought, he said directly.

"What? How old are we? How can we go to internet cafes and grab machines with the kids! I came to talk to you about your job," Wang Hao shook his head helplessly.

Wang Hao remembered when they were young, when internet cafes, this emerging hot spot, had just appeared in the town. At that time, he and several children in the village pooled money to play games together in the internet cafe.

Wang Hao was quite confident in training Li Qiang because he knew that Li Qiang had the potential to become an excellent chef.

On the one hand, with the help of the cheat, Li Qiang can learn cooking skills very quickly;

On the other hand, Li Qiang himself has excellent learning ability and a strong physique, which are important conditions for becoming an excellent chef.

There is no need to say more about the physique, which can be seen from his burly figure.

Speaking of learning ability, Wang Hao found out when he was in school that although Li Qiang was not very interested in learning and spent all day playing wildly, his academic performance has always been above average, which shows this.

With these conditions, he has no reason not to train a chef.

Therefore, Wang Hao firmly believes that Li Qiang will become an excellent chef and is willing to help him achieve this achievement.

Li Qiang was very moved after hearing this. He didn't expect Wang Hao to keep this matter in mind.

"Will this embarrass you? If it's a little embarrassing for you, then forget it. Anyway, I can go anywhere." Li Qiang was a little tempted when he heard about the job content Wang Hao introduced.

After all, who doesn't want to work in a place where they are not exposed to wind, rain, or sun? Especially him, who has been working on construction sites all year round, knows the hardships of an outdoor worker. What's more, Wang Hao also said that he could become the head chef of a restaurant!

You must know that even in those smaller restaurants outside, the monthly salary of the head chefs is stable and easy to exceed 10,000. It is false for Li Qiang to say that he is not tempted by such a job.

Li Qiang did not doubt Wang Hao's words that he would become a head chef. So many years together have made him clear that Wang Hao is not a person who likes to brag. Since he said so, it must be possible.

However, this is what makes him hesitate, because in Li Qiang's eyes, a helper position is easy to get, but the other party promised to make him a head chef.

Such conditions are probably not something that ordinary people can fight for. I don't know how much effort Wang Hao has put in for this, or even promised some special conditions to others.

If this is the case, he would rather give up this job than bring too much trouble to Wang Hao.

Wang Hao seemed to see through Li Qiang's thoughts and quickly said: "That's not the case, it's just a matter of a word, don't think so much, this matter is settled. I'll tell you in advance when to go, let's go to Xingyun together."

As he said that, he patted Li Qiang on the shoulder with a smile, signaling him not to worry and making a final decision.

Wang Hao knew that under Li Qiang's burly appearance, he actually had a gentle heart. He never easily caused trouble to others.

At the same time, Li Qiang often shows delicate emotions that are inconsistent with his image in some trivial matters.

When he was a child, Wang Hao received a lot of care and concern from him.

When Li Qiang saw Wang Hao so firmly expressing his affirmation, he no longer hesitated and struggled.

After all, their friendship is deep, and the words between brothers have already been said to this point. If they continue to decline, it will make people feel a little pretentious and unnatural.

Li Qiang enthusiastically grabbed Wang Hao and invited him into the house for a good chat, but Wang Hao politely declined.

After all, Li Qiang is already married, and the inconvenience brought about by this situation is well understood by the brothers.

So, after Wang Hao and Li Qiang talked for a few more words, they said goodbye and left.

With this matter in his heart finally resolved, Wang Hao felt particularly refreshed, and even the pace of returning home became lighter.

"Wife, wake up, I have something to tell you!" After watching Wang Hao leave, Li Qiang ran back to the house excitedly, shaking and waking up his wife He Xiaoqing, who was taking a nap.

He Xiaoqing was awakened and glared at Li Qiang fiercely, expressing her dissatisfaction. Her lingering sleepiness made her look at Li Qiang with a questioning look: You better give me a satisfactory explanation!
