I'm catching monsters in Liaozhai

"Xiaojun is my biological son."

Old Man Xue explained, "We all thought he died on the battlefield. Someone notified us before, but we didn't expect that Xiaojun suddenly came back a month ago..."

When talking, Old Man Xue was very happy.

But come to think of it.

How could he not be happy when his son was lost and found?

From his narration, Xu Lang learned about Xue Jun's general situation.

three years ago.

Xue Jun's battalion was sent to a certain place to suppress bandits.

Because he fell into the enemy's trap, the entire army was wiped out.

After being rescued, Xue Jun, who was seriously injured, fell into a coma for a full month before he woke up.

Because the injury to his right leg was relatively serious, leaving hidden diseases, he became a cripple.

Naturally, the lame man could no longer march and fight.

Logically speaking, he would retire from the army and return home.

However, because the food he cooked was very suitable for an officer, he was kept in the army as a gang leader.

But what he didn't know was.

Because of the carelessness of some soldiers, they mistakenly brought the news of his death back home.

and.

Only after Xue Jun came back did he know the whole story.

"When Xiaojun comes back this time, he doesn't plan to go to the army anymore. He said he plans to find a job at home. We are older and it will be easier to take care of us in the future." Old man Xue said.

"That's good. Have you found a suitable job?" Xu Lang asked.

"Not yet. I wanted to find a shop assistant to do something, but people said that his legs and feet were inconvenient and they didn't hire him." Old man Xue said.

Xu Lang thought for a moment, looked at Xue Jun and said: "Brother Jun, I have a restaurant here, which will be opened soon. I am short of people, if you don't mind, you can come over and help me. "

"That feeling is the best, so the old man would like to thank you, my benefactor." Before Xue Jun could say anything, Old Man Xue was already the first to express his gratitude.

Xue Jun also looked happy and thanked him repeatedly.

"I just heard from Uncle Xue that you have been a gang leader in the army for three years and your cooking skills are very good. I want to see how Brother Jun's cooking skills are," Xu Lang said.

In fact, there is no shortage of store clerks now.

What is missing is a cook.

If possible, he would like Xue Jun to be a chef in the restaurant.

of course.

The details also depend on Xue Jun’s cooking skills.

Hearing what Xu Lang said, Old Man Xue and his son became even more happy.

"Xiaojun, you must behave well." Old man Xue said to his son.

"I only served as a gang leader in the army. I may not be able to be a cook in a restaurant." He was happy, but Xue Jun was still somewhat self-aware.

He only knows a little bit about it because he likes to study cooking.

But they are all self-taught.

I haven’t really learned from anyone.

The reason why you are appreciated by superior officers in the army is because in the army, you don’t need to be very skilled in cooking.

If you really want to compare with the chefs in those restaurants, there is a lot of difference.

"It doesn't matter, let's give it a try first. The kitchen here is just right for Brother Jun to show off his skills."

Under Xu Lang's arrangement, he brought Old Man Xue and his son to the kitchen.

There are many dishes in the kitchen.

Xiaoyu bought them all fresh this morning and prepared them for lunch.

Xiaoyu heard the news and rushed over to join in the fun.

And those kids.

"Then what should I cook?" Xue Jun asked.

"Brother Jun, you can just do your best."

Xu Lang then said to a group of onlookers, "The kitchen is only such a big place. Let's not crowd in here. Let's go out and wait..."

Old man Xue stayed to help his son.

After a while, the sound of chopping vegetables could be heard in the kitchen.

Then there was the sound of sizzling cooking.

Along with it, there are bursts of rich fragrance.

"It smells so good, sir, what do you think Brother Jun will cook for us?" Xiaoyu said with her nose raised.

"I don't know either, won't you know when it comes out later?" Xu Lang said.

"Sister Xiaoyu, let me go and take a look."

Xiaojiang walked towards the kitchen again.

Less than half an hour later.

More than ten kinds of dishes were served on the Eight Immortals table...

After Xiaoyu and others tasted it, everyone was full of praise.

"This eggplant with minced meat is so delicious, and this green vegetable, and this...Brother Jun, how on earth did you make it? None of the dishes in restaurants are so delicious." Xiaoyu said.

Xu Lang also tasted every dish.

Although these dishes were not as good as those he had eaten in his previous life, they were definitely very good in this world.

"Brother Jun, did you think of these dishes yourself?" Xu Lang asked.

"Yeah, I haven't eaten some of the dishes. I just heard people say how delicious they are, so I thought about making them myself. In fact, I don't know how they compare with the dishes in restaurants outside." Xue Jun said .

"What Xiaoyu said just now is right. The dishes you cook are much more delicious than those in restaurants outside."

Xu Lang said, "Brother Jun, if you can, then you can directly work as a chef in the new restaurant I open. As for the salary, it will be five taels of silver per month."

"Five taels? No, that's too much. I think two taels of silver is enough."

Before Xue Jun could speak, Old Man Xue spoke first.

"Yeah, I think two taels of silver is enough."

Xue Jun said.

For ordinary people working outside, half a tael of silver per month is pretty good.

Those who earn one tael of silver per month are even rarer.

As for the two taels of silver, he thought it was very high.

"Not much, Brother Jun, but we will be the chef of our restaurant next. The dishes he cooks are worth the salary. If the business is good in the future, I will give Brother Jun some more salary."

Xu Lang said.

This moved Old Man Xue and his son so much that they didn't know what to say.

Some are just grateful.

"Brother Jun, if it's convenient, you will stay here temporarily from today on. First, you can study more dishes. Second, you can also cook for us. The wages will be directly according to your chef's specifications. You see Is that possible?" Xu Lang said.

"Shopkeeper, of course it's okay." Xue Jun said, moved and wiping tears.

"Okay, it's settled then, Xiaoyu, I'll clean up two rooms for Brother Jun and Uncle Xue later." Xu Lang said to Xiaoyu.

"I don't need it, I'll go back later." Old Man Xue refused.

"It doesn't matter. There are a lot of rooms here anyway. If you clean them out, you can come and live here anytime you want." Xu Lang said with a chuckle.

To be honest, Xu Lang was quite happy.

The cook's problem was actually solved just like that.

Old man Xue didn't stay long. After chatting with Xu Lang and the others for a while, and telling his son to work well with Xu Lang, he left by himself.
