Jiang Yu couldn’t help but laugh when he heard this, and he said,
"We’re not hiring that many chefs anyway, so just select a few suitable candidates to interview later."
"Yeah, yeah! I saw the comnts on Douyin. Many people are still quite interested in our Seventh Dining Hall."
Hua Xiaoling nodded repeatedly, smiling as she said,
"By the way, quite a few people are saying that it’s been a long ti since we’ve had any ’fan benefits’ and are asking when we can have such activities again."
"Where do we have the ti for that now? Besides, in this hot weather, food spoils easily. I don’t want to deal with any trouble."
Jiang Yu shook his head and smiled, and after a mont, he said,
"Let’s wait until the new chefs arrive and we have so spare ti."
"Oh, okay, now I know."
When Hua Xiaoling heard this, she agreed that the boss made a good point, so she didn’t argue further. She nodded and left to prepare for her livestream.
"Boss, in a little while, the school is going to start the sumr break. Is hiring new people right now appropriate?"
After Hua Xiaoling left, Lu Shuwu ca over with a puzzled look and said,
"The new chefs will only work for a few days, so why not wait until late August, just before school starts, to hire them?"
Jiang Yu glanced at him and said, "Who told you we’re taking a sumr break?"
"Uh... does the boss an that our Seventh Dining Hall won’t close for the sumr this year?" Lu Shuwu was stunned, full of surprise.
Jiang Yu turned to look at him with a half-smile and asked, "So do you want a break or not?"
"Heh heh! It’s hard to say."
Lu Shuwu scratched his head, a bit embarrassed, and said,
"When I’m busy in the kitchen every day, I want a break. But if there’s really a sumr break, the ti seems too long.
Two months, who can stay at ho that long?"
"If you really go ho for sumr break, I doubt you’d be that free."
Jiang Yu continued working, smiled, and said,
"I don’t believe your grandpa would let you stay ho all day for that long; he’d definitely shove you into the restaurant kitchen to cook."
"The boss knows my grandpa well."
Lu Shuwu winced, his brow furrowing like a chrysanthemum,
"My grandpa can’t wait to teach all his skills. If he could, he’d have done so mind transfer technique years ago."
"Having a grandpa who’s so skilled in cooking, you should be content."
Jiang Yu looked up at him, smirked, and said, "Many people want to learn his cooking skills, but they don’t even know where the door is."
"I’m not complaining; I just think my grandpa is too anxious. So things should be done step by step."
Lu Shuwu shook his head and sighed.
He probably also felt that there was no point in saying this to Jiang Yu, so he quickly changed the subject and said,
"By the way, boss, you haven’t told how we’re planning for the sumr break!"
"Seventh Café is a restaurant, and there’s no such thing as sumr or winter breaks. Since it’s open, the first-floor kitchen won’t be left empty."
Jiang Yu thought for a mont and said to Lu Shuwu,
"Although the school is on break, many students will choose to stay on campus, either to prepare for future exams or to engage in social practice. So, our first-floor dining hall will definitely stay open this sumr.
However, considering most students will leave campus, the Seventh Dining Hall doesn’t need to prepare as many als as usual. So, just set up a rotation schedule.
Once we hire new chefs, you can discuss and co up with a duty roster to ensure the dining hall operates normally."
"Okay." Lu Shuwu nodded.
The two continued chatting for a while, then went back to work.
...
In Jiangzhou City District, at Qingshan Restaurant.
It’s still a while before lunchti, so although the kitchen is busy, it’s not chaotic. Several assistants are sorting the newly purchased fresh ingredients while whispering to each other:
"Hey, did you see the news? Jiang University Seventh Dining Hall is hiring!"
"I saw it too. Unfortunately, they’re hiring chefs, not apprentices!"
"If I were a chef, I’d apply there for sure! Going to the Seventh Dining Hall ans eating Boss Xiao Jiang’s als every day. Just thinking about it makes happy!"
"Heh, you’re talking as if you’ve tasted Boss Xiao Jiang’s cooking."
"Uh... I haven’t tasted his als, but I’ve had his peach blossom pastry. That taste is unforgettable!"
"..."
Although they were talking quietly, Xiong Zhengtao, standing not far away, heard everything and couldn’t help but feel a bit envious.
Just two days ago, he had submitted his resignation to the restaurant. If all went well, he’d be officially leaving after these few days.
The reason for his resignation was, of course, to apply for a position at Jiang University Seventh Dining Hall.
