Xu Hui smiled at Song Yao. “Then I’ll let my Wang Jian make two of his signature dishes?”

She held Song Yao’s hand and entered the house. “By the way, I heard from Wang Jian yesterday that you came to Sangqiu City for the college entrance examination?”

Song Yao nodded. “That’s right. Back then, I didn’t get into university. Now, I regret it. I just want to make up for the regrets of my youth.”

“Then you’re pretty good!” Xu Hui cast an envious gaze at Song Yao. “If only I had the same awareness as you. It’s a pity that I got married early. Otherwise, I would have taken the exam like you!”

Song Yao said, “Women should pursue their dreams. If you want to take the exam too, I can introduce the teacher to you.”

Hearing this, Xu Hui’s face was filled with excitement. “It would be great if I could go to university like you! I used to want to go to university too, but my family was too poor. I didn’t even finish high school.”

Song Yao comforted her. “Actually, it’s the same for me. Back then, I wanted to take the college entrance examination, but I fainted the next morning and didn’t succeed in the college entrance examination. Later on, I got married and met a scumbag. Then, I got a divorce and brought my child with me to earn money. Fortunately, my parents have always supported me. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know what to do.”

Seizing the opportunity, Song Yao told Xu Hui what was on her mind. Xu Huizhen also told Song Yao what was on her mind. The two of them hit it off at first sight and became familiar with each other in less than a day.

By the time Wang Jian finished cooking, Xu Hui had already pulled Song Yao’s hand and started talking about her future career plans.

He said helplessly, “It’s time to eat. Why are the two of you still chatting?”

Song Yao turned around and saw that Wang Jian was still holding the dishes in his hand. She hurriedly went up to help.

“I’ve really troubled you guys. Not only do you have to manage my accommodation and food, but you also have to accompany me to find a house tomorrow.”

Wang Jian smiled and placed the dishes on the table. “It’s nothing. Besides, you’re Captain Zuo’s lover.”

Xu Hui scooped a bowl of rice for Song Yao and picked up a piece of chicken for her. “These are all home-cooked dishes. As long as you don’t mind.”

Song Yao took a bite of the chicken. It was fresh and fragrant in her mouth and tasted extremely good. “This dish is really not bad. It’S enough to open a restaurant.”

Hearing this, Wang Jian immediately scratched his head. “Sister-in-law, don’t flatter me. How can my culinary skills be enough to open a restaurant?”

Song Yao smiled. “Why not? My culinary skills are about the same as yours. Didn’t I open a shop?”

After Song Yao finished speaking, she remembered that when the hotel opened in the future, there would definitely be a lot of tourists. Just Aunt Liu and Han Pei alone would not be enough.

Thinking that Wang Jian’s culinary skills were not bad, Song Yao said, “By the way, the small hotel I opened in Sangqiu County is about to open. If you don’t mind the distance, you can go over and take a look.”

“This… How can my cooking be so delicious?” Wang Jian said embarrassedly, “If you really invite me, your restaurant will probably close down.”

“How could that be?” Song Yao also knew that Wang Jian was not confident. After all, her mother, Gu Li, was not confident in the braised food she made from the beginning. Until now, hadn’t it become the shop’s specialty?

Therefore, Song Yao was also very confident in Wang Jian. She said, “If you’re still worried, I can write down my usual cooking recipes for you to practice. I’ll give you 70 yuan a month. You can use the food and accommodation in the shop.”

“Forget it!” Hearing this, Wang Jian became even more flustered.

A salary of 70 yuan a month? How high was this requirement? His culinary skills were not enough!

Wang Jian said tiredly, “Although I’ve retired from the army, I still have a lot of money I saved up in the past. Moreover, I can earn 20 yuan a day from moving bricks at the construction site now. It’S a little tiring, but it’s enough to support my wife and children.”

Hearing Wang Jian’s words, Xu Hui also added, “Yao, our money is still enough for our daily expenses.”

However, Song Yao frowned. “But I’m short of people over there. I think your husband is quite suitable. Moreover, it’s tiring to move bricks at the construction site for a day. You might as well be a chef at my house.”

When Wang Jian and Xu Hui heard this, they looked at each other as if they were hesitating about something.

Song Yao thought that the two of them thought that a month’s salary was too little, so she simply said, “Money is not a problem. How about this? Name a price and I’ll try my best to satisfy you, but it won’t be too high. After all, our hotel hasn’t officially opened for business yet. We have to wait until more people open for business before we consider giving you a high price.”

However, Wang Jian said, “It’s not about money! I just feel that the salary is too high, so I don’t dare to go..”
