Her Cultivation Diary
Chapter 762 - Chapter 762 752. Develop Downline_1

Chapter 762: 752. Develop Downline_1 Chapter 762: 752. Develop Downline_1 Jian Xiaokang was a man of action, saying he’d buy a ticket and immediately doing so, quickly packing his bags and heading straight for the high-speed train station.

As for his wife, he had to check the accommodation conditions first before deciding whether to bring his family.

Coincidentally, Chang Letian was also catching this very train.

Although there were a myriad of things to deal with at the hotel that required his presence, Master Jiang was of paramount importance! In his haste, Chang brought along two large and sturdy kitchen staff members and dashed to Yunqiao Village!

It was only upon boarding the train that he realized–well, he was sitting next to Jian Xiaokang!

“Master Jiang!”

When Chang Letian saw him, he was firstly delighted, “You’re traveling too? How have you been recovering? Changleju is always welcoming you!”

Jian Xiaokang waved his hand dismissively, “No, no, this time it’s a serious illness; I won’t be able to recover to my previous state for a while. I can only work on making simple, large pot dishes in the countryside…”

He said this, but the joyful look on his face clearly showed he felt pretty good about going to the countryside.

Chang Letian’s brow furrowed with worry, “It wouldn’t happen to be Yunqiao Village, would it? Did Master Jiang ask you to go there?”

How could Master Jiang have started recruiting subordinates so quickly? Upon entering the village, would the two staff members he rushed to bring along be up to the task?

As he thought this, he took out his phone–how frustrating! There was such a rush, and with the distance spanning two provinces, he hadn’t had time to call on any favors to get some government officials introduced…

His concern grew deeper, but his face remained warm with a smile, “Master Jiang, we at Changleju also have main hall dishes! In the village, things are inconvenient, and they might not offer you a high salary… Our new restaurant is about to open, and we really need a head chef like you to take charge!”

He was truly sincere.

Even if Jian Xiaokang wasn’t in the best of health, his experience and discernment remained. Even if he did nothing in the kitchen except convey some pointers to the chefs, his salary would be well spent!

He’d said as much before, when Jian Xiaokang was hospitalized.

Unfortunately, as soon as Jian Xiaokang fell ill, he resigned, and no amount of persuasion from Chang Letian could make him stay.

Now it seemed, he might be getting caught up in Master Jiang’s pyramid scheme…

However, Jian Xiaokang just laughed heartily, “Boss Chang, with my health, I really can’t handle the main hall dishes. I know you’re looking out for me, and you would surely advise me to rest… But if I work much less than others and still meddle, it would create discord among the kitchen staff and lead to chaos!”

As he spoke, his expression turned somewhat melancholic, “Besides, Xiaoshun may be my junior, but his talent surpasses all of us. Now that he’s with the master, once Master Jiang retires, he will be able to take over… I shouldn’t go and cause a stir!”

Yet Chang Letian kept thinking that he should persuade him as much as possible, adding,

“But cooking large pot meals is also tiring! Relying solely on you, Master Jiang, to feed dozens of people, how could that be manageable? Don’t overexert yourself again.”

Jian Xiaokang sighed, “Boss Chang, thank you for thinking of me like that. But this time, I’m going there because aside from working, Master Jiang said the local climate is good and suitable for convalescing, which is why he persuaded me to go.”

Jian Xiaokang wasn’t the type to blindly follow everything his master said, but he knew that Master Jiang and Xiaoshun would never harm him!

What does it matter if the salary is only 4,500? His child is already in university, and he has both a house and savings. Nowadays, aside from taking care of his health, everything else comes second.

Staying cooped up at home every day, even though he could go out for a stroll, was not the same for his physical condition, and it meant having to chat with everyone he met…

His mood had indeed declined over the past few months.

The suggestion from Master Jiang actually provided a righteous excuse for him to leave that environment.

With a salary of 4,500 to cover daily expenses, he felt quite content!

As for saying that cooking large pot meals is exhausting…

Actually, Jian Xiaokang had also done this work when he was younger.

The exhausting part of cooking big-pot dishes was that you had to keep washing and rinsing from morning to night, never stopping.

But Master Jiang said there’s already a helper now. Once more diners come, they’ll hire another.

By then those miscellaneous jobs wouldn’t need the chefs to worry about them at all.

All he would have to do was to make sure the food tasted good.

Really, if you talked about the few hours it took to cook a meal, compared to the several hours non-stop hustle in a hotel’s main hall kitchen, there was still a gap, and he wouldn’t collapse after just an hour or two.

After pondering like this for a couple of days, he finally made up his mind.

Seeing that he couldn’t be persuaded, at this moment, Chang Letian also sighed silently–

In any case, if anything went wrong in the village, among the four of them big men, surely at least one would be able to step up, right?

He decided to change the angle.

Just then, Jian Xiaokang also curiously asked, “By the way, Boss Chang, my master has been praising the vegetables from this place as unmatched on earth and heaven. Have you tried them? Are they really that good?”

He said with an embarrassed smile:

“Technically speaking, my master is pretty strict with culinary standards, so he shouldn’t be exaggerating. But he’s been praising them day after day, and Xiaoshun even says he can eat two large bowls in one meal… The more he talks, the more I wonder.”

What a coincidence this was!

Chang Letian nodded excitedly too: “I feel the same way. You know our Changleju, we source ingredients from all over, as long as they are of good quality, we do whatever we can to get them, right?”

“And Master Jiang – he’s cooked for state banquets! He must have been in contact with top-notch ingredients, no? Yet now, he’s so excited… Honestly, I’m also getting curious, that’s why I’m planning to rush over and take a look!”

He said half-truthfully, then saw Jian Xiaokang’s face gradually tighten.

…

Meanwhile Master Jiang, deeply engrossed in the multi-level marketing center, knew none of this. He just watched as handful after handful of Sweet Potato Vine was roughly chopped, then hacked into a mess to feed pigs…

“What a waste! What a waste!”

This Sweet Potato Vine, if it were in the city, whether stir-fried plainly or with hot peppers and pork, would be extremely popular!

After all, the trend nowadays is to eat farm ingredients for healthier living!

And now…

He asked Old Xu again: “Are you sure you don’t want to eat some Sweet Potato Vine? If you don’t, they’re going to finish clearing it for the pigs!”

The sweet potatoes hadn’t matured yet, and the vines had grown too thick, so they decided to selectively cut off a portion. Master Jiang felt heartache every day watching the lush leaves and stems go into the pigsty.

However, Old Xu shook his head frantically: “No, no! Master Jiang, we all do hard labor every day, and we’re all from the village. We really don’t care for this Sweet Potato Vine…”

“Even if you stir-fry it with meat, isn’t it still just Sweet Potato Vine? It’s not really that tasty, and it certainly isn’t rich enough for us.”

After thinking for a while, he added: “By the way, Master Jiang, I know you city folks like to eat everything, even something as trivial as shepherd’s purse can sell for five yuan per half kilo… but we really don’t like it!”

“If it really bothers you that much, why not go and braise another pot of soybeans and pork trotters? Everyone loves that.”
