Chapter 628: A New Chef

In order to find a like-minded peer for himself, Seventh Uncle truly racked his brains.

But after thinking for a long time, he realized that the factory building on Song Tan's mountain didn't even have a shadow of a plan yet!

What would the person do when they came? Afraid they wouldn't take his current position?

That won't do!

He heard Song Tan say that the meals on the mountain would have to be purchased, and they certainly wouldn't be eating such good ingredients as they did at home.

This chef's throne must not be let go!

He thought about it and planned to ask Song Tan if she could give a definite date, but unexpectedly, Song Tan also happened to receive a call from the person in charge of the engineering team—

Tomorrow, they would be coming to the mountain to start work!

It's hot now, and cities don't allow construction during the summer, but those who do this work are all thinking about making money.

The person in charge was now able to pull in an order in the mountains, and it was still that villa owner who paid promptly before; the brothers below were all extremely happy.

Although summer is harder, even if they don't work on the construction site, they still have to do farm work at home!

But farm work doesn't earn money, while working on the construction site allows them to take money in big handfuls.

Besides, the person in charge had come to see the site once before and had also seen the drawings of the factory building—this time, they didn't even need to produce a design drawing; just by communicating with Song Tan, the person in charge had a plan in his heart.

Working hard early and late, building a small factory and courtyard would be simpler than the procedures in other places. The mountainous area was originally a bit cooler than the city, and this team of people would be able to finish all the work in less than a month.

At that time, it would seamlessly connect with the old house of Song Youde's family and could continue until autumn.

After finishing everything and returning to the city, oh my, they could earn a whole year's money!

Everyone felt beautiful inside.

And after the person in charge finished the call with Song Tan, he didn't forget to instruct his workers:

"This is a regular customer, pays generously, and never delays. If we don't do a good job, we won't be able to take any business in the surrounding ten miles."

However, there's no place to live in the mountains, so they have to build a simple shed and hire someone to cook and clean up, which requires hiring locals.

After hanging up the phone, Song Tan was also a bit worried.

Nowadays in summer, cooking for dozens of people on the construction site is not an easy job, and the person in charge offered 4000, which is truly a high salary in the village.

But the problem is, there's no one in the village!

Song Tan was ready to ask her parents to ask the neighboring villages, but unexpectedly, Seventh Uncle suddenly spoke up:

"Need someone, right! I'll find one for you!"

Song Tan waved her hand instantly: "Too expensive, I don't want it!"

Seventh Uncle:...!

!

Seventh Uncle was greatly shocked, Seventh Uncle couldn't understand!

Is his monthly salary of 8000 yuan a lot? This 8000 is for making three meals a day for fifteen or twenty people, and also teaching Qiao Qiao; it's really not much!

Furthermore, he hadn't even said what the price of the new chef would be!

However, Song Tan had already explained:

"Seventh Uncle, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that your skills are so good, the skills you can look up to must also be very good."

"For such a person, the salary won't be lower than 5000, not to mention having to come to our poor countryside to cook for so many people... I'm hiring someone to work, not opening a canteen; if the salary is high, it's really not cost-effective."

Seventh Uncle:... That's true too.

Just coming to live in the mountain valley makes it very difficult to recruit people. In most cases, it's most convenient to hire locals.

But locals also have a disadvantage, which is that if they are close to home, it's very convenient for them to line their own pockets and cut corners. And everyone is related, so if one thing isn't handled well, there are always some troublesome things.

Conversely, even if outsiders cut corners, they have nowhere to deal with the ingredients they get, which instead reduces the burden in this regard.

For this reason, Song Tan really intends to hire an outsider chef.

It's just that this price can't be opened that high, and even her budget is like that of the engineering team's person in charge, at most 4000 yuan.

At this price, even if the person hired has mediocre skills, as long as their character passes the test, it's fine. Later, hire a helper, and things will be much easier to handle.

Seventh Uncle came back to his senses.

He was old and sophisticated; he had just gone astray for a moment, but now he could understand quickly, and at this moment, he frowned and said seriously:

"Then you wait, let me think carefully."

This thinking, who knows when it will be! As for the engineering team, I'm afraid I have to ask the neighboring village first if anyone is coming.

Song Tan was worried about finding a chef, while over there, Zhu Xin, who had only asked for two days off and ran to Ningcheng in a hurry after the wedding ended, was also surrounded by his colleagues.

"How is it? Did you see the environment of their home? Are our Yingjun and Princess living well there?"

Once the conversation started, Zhu Xin's mouth couldn't stop:

"Then you've asked the right person! I followed them all the way to their hometown; that place is truly a treasure land, with beautiful mountains and clear waters. The family that adopted them even built a super beautiful big villa, three stories high, with a big courtyard; I don't know how comfortable their life is!"

"And what they feed our Yingjun and Princess is their secret dog food! You think, the Dawang and Sanbao and Sibao they brought are all so excellent, they must be eating a balanced diet at home every day."

"That really has something to it; I squatted on the side and couldn't figure out what it was; they even deliberately made it look like wheat bran and rice husk... Princess was originally a bit listless, but after eating just one meal there, her spirit was better in the evening!"

"Their family is also truly thoughtful; you know the retired Especially Duo Duo from the police force? It was hiding its owner's button, and when it went there, it let the family that adopted it quickly sew the button onto a bib and tie it on for it. Especially Duo Duo doesn't know how happy it is!"

Good grief, the colleagues were also shocked:

"So detailed..."

"Is it really a big villa? So generous."

"Actually, our Yingjun and Princess should be happier in the village; after all, it's freer to raise dogs in the village."

"Indeed! Before, not letting them stay in the village was because we were afraid people wouldn't be willing to spend money to take care of them, but since they have a villa and feed the dogs secret dog food, it definitely won't be bad."

Everyone talked at once, and finally, they were completely relieved.

And at this moment, Zhu Xin was still talking endlessly:

"You don't know how regrettable it is that not many people from our team went this time!"

"The taste of this family's meals—it's amazing! I've never eaten anything so delicious in my life!"

"Go, go, go!"

A colleague complained that he was exaggerating: "You said the same thing when you first ate the braised pork in our canteen."

"That's different."

Zhu Xin said solemnly: "The braised pork is very delicious, and I admit it in my heart. But as long as you have eaten the meals of this family that adopted them, you will know that it's not even in the same league!"

As he said this, he couldn't help but feel a bit greedy again—if he had known this, he should have taken his annual leave, taken the opportunity to see the dogs, and eaten there for a few more days. ===== CHAPTER 629 =====
