Chapter 765 – High salaries

An American man came for the interview for the cook’s position. Feng Yu casually asked two questions. How do you cook sweet and sour fish, and how do you cook Kung pao Chicken? The other party had a blank look on his face.

Feng Yu turned to look at Ralph. This is the Chinese Chef you got? He does not even know a single Chinese word. Kao Pao chicken had to be deep-fried? Sweet and sour fish had to use sea fishes?!

Also, this gardener with a full beard. He looks professional, but he only knows how to mow the lawn? What about my flowerbed? What about those lemon trees in the backyard?

This electrician does not know anything except for connecting wires.

That man came here to ask for the job of a swimming coach c.u.m lifeguard? Why the h.e.l.l do I need a lifeguard for my own swimming pool? I can just fill the pool with lesser water.

Also, that part-time cleaner. She can only work one day per week and still dare to ask for 300 USD per week? She might as well go and rob a bank!

Just when Feng Yu was about to blow up, he smelled food. He stood up and walked over to the dining hall.

“Mr. Feng, please wait a while. Give me 5 more minutes.”

Sweet and sour fish and Kung Pao Chicken? She had heard what I said earlier? Hmmm…… She is smart. The smell and looks of these two dishes make me hungry. But does it taste as good as it looks?

“Mr. Feng, there is no rice, so I made some Chinese pies. I had only learned how to make these, and I am not sure about the taste.”

Feng Yu had been in the US for some time and had been to Chinese restaurants. The Chinese restaurants in the US had been westernized and taste weird. He does not like the food there.

It was weird that this Chinese couple were from the southern province and could cook the food Feng Yu like. The meal cooked today was not cheap.

The fish used in Sweet and Sour fish was carp. In the US, Americans seldom eat freshwater fishes. There were too many bones. Feng Yu had asked his men to get a carp, and this carp was especially fished from a lake for him.

Only people with fis.h.i.+ng permits could fish in the US, and the license cost tens of USD annually. There were also many restrictions on fis.h.i.+ng. If the fish is too small, the fisherman had to release it. If a fish with marker is fished, the fisherman got to report to the authorities. There are seasons every year when fis.h.i.+ng is prohibited. During the time when they could catch, the fisherman can only bring back 2 fishes.

That’s why the price of this carp, is worth more dozens of carps back in China, and those carps are way bigger than this carp.

The beef and chicken used were also the best. Even the vegetables were the freshest vegetables from Walmart. Many of the seasonings used in Chinese cuisines could not be found in the supermarkets. It was Ralph who got these seasonings from a Chinese supermarket, and it was costly!

Of course. All these were considered expensive compared to regular products. Feng Yu could easily afford it.

After Feng Yu finished the meal, he noticed that the woman had disappeared. He turned and look at Ralph. Ralph pointed to the living room, and Feng Yu saw the woman was doing housekeeping in the living room.

Wow…… She’s very hardworking. Feng Yu felt he could hire her as his cook. Her cooking cannot be compared to those restaurant’s chefs in China, but she can be considered skilled when compared to those housewives. She was not lying when she said she had opened a restaurant before. Feng Yu decided to ask how much salary she wants.

Feng Yu walked out to the garden to have a look. When Feng Yu and Ralph stepped out, Ralph was shocked. How can someone work so fast?

The garden which was filled with dried gra.s.s and leaves were cleared, and the gra.s.s was mowed. The whole place was clean. Most importantly, the flowerbed by the fence was tidied. Although the flowers were not looking healthy, the soil was tossed. This man was fast. How can he be so fast?

“Mr. Feng, the lemon tree has fruits now, and it’s hard to trim. This is the best I can do now. If it is 2 months before, I can make it look nicer and bear more fruits. I will go and clean the pool now. I promise I can clean it within an hour.”
