Her Cultivation Diary

Zhang Yanping had no idea that the new employees he hired, with a monthly salary of 1200, were so talented—

After all, no one includes these things on their resume, right?

He focused on keywords like [Master's Degree][less than three months to transition to a permanent role][self-taught qualifications], and heartlessly assumed they were either new to the workforce or had a rough start, so he accepted them decisively!

The naive university students probably wouldn't have issues with a 1200 salary, right? After all, there's no overtime work here!

Worrying about this, he deliberately stayed up late and went to the vegetable field at midnight—

The bright street lamps in the field illuminated everything. There were already a few moths in the spring of March, but due to the biological pest control arranged by Professor Song, it didn't affect the work.

Liu Liu and Nian Xu, as the diligent newcomers, were giving basic training to male and female employees, respectively, with the main ideas being [It's okay to go slow, but be thorough][If you can't continue, just say so, don't be embarrassed][The first time might take until 2:30][Once you get the hang of it, you can finish in two hours]...

Zhang Yanping had no role to play, so he stood under the streetlamp with a scowl, surveying the employees like a boss watching over people in a pyramid scheme operation, making sure they don't escape.

Everyone: ...

If it weren't for knowing each other for a year on the livestream, who would dare come here!

But it must be said, Wu Lan's comforting words in the daytime weren't exaggerated—

You just need to grab the root of the bok choy and gently pull. The sprawling old variety of water spinach only requires a pinch of the tender tip, and even the tender lettuce leaves feel like they'll snap under a slight force...

A girl with fair skin and a calm expression spaced out for a moment, then suddenly perked up: "So stress-relieving!"

"Isn't it?" Nian Xu, picking water spinach with her, said proudly: "After picking vegetables for two hours, you go back with a clear mind and sleep soundly!"

"Really?" she responded casually, then suddenly sped up: "It really clears my mind, I need to hurry so I can work on some data when I get back and inspiration strikes!"

Her hands moved like lightning, but her retrieval had a sense of stealth, energizing the diligent Nian Xu, wondering why even the polite girls were so swift at farm work now...

In any case!

No one would outwork him!

Meanwhile, Gastric Bypass Brother, initially awkward with his movements, was gradually getting the hang of it, not really slow, but watched helplessly as others moved to another row!

Huh???

He squatted in the night in the field, as confused as a groundhog: Is he not even as good at farm work as others?

So, he focused intently, silently speeding up, making himself look like he wasn't slacking...

The round-eyed little girl, previously silently picking vegetables, feeling emo in the quiet night, realized that before the emo mood even kicked in, everyone had already surpassed her in work speed...

Ahhh!

How could a fresh graduate who just became a regular employee handle others working hard while she slacked off?! So she took a deep breath, hands flying, fully concentrated...

In the end, Zhang Yanping had just yawned and wandered around a bit, turning back to see everyone silently upgrading from 2G to 5G, working even more intensely than the aunties who came from the village before!

He was utterly shocked!

Is this the efficiency required in city work now? No wonder so many young people die at their desks, thank goodness he didn't go out to work!

Thinking about it now, he called out: "Hey... do you guys mind if I start a live stream?"

It was time to show future employees a snippet of work efficiency! After all, the current employees might not always be here, but the recruitment standards could always be...

Huh? Live stream? The crowd looked up in confusion.

They're not Qiaoqiao, is there a need to stream?

But Zhang Yanping thought it was entirely necessary—live streaming picking vegetables at night centers on ASMR, no need to chat, it serves dual purposes of collecting stream time, showing the state of the vegetables, and directly demonstrating the work environment and content of the employees.

A win-win-win!

Thinking about it, he added: "This won't be for free. Streaming at night will help Qiaoqiao with her stream time, if you agree to be on camera, there will be an extra 100 subsidy each month."

"Sure, I agree!" A composed female colleague nearing 30 immediately responded: "I'll agree to anything for money. But speaking on the stream would require a different price!"

Liu Liu quickly nodded, glancing at the phone connected to the monitor in front of him—an extra 100! It's practically free money!

Zhang Yanping nodded: "Don't worry, no need to talk, the phone will just be set up in the field for everyone to watch the picking."

With that, the group agreed.

Zhang Yanping happily logged onto Qiaoqiao's account and went down the mountain to find a stand. The tense work pace on the mountain suddenly relaxed, and now everyone was in the mood to chat—

"By the way, what are we having for breakfast tomorrow?"

This was a topic everyone loved!

Because they had already experienced Master Jiang's cooking at lunch—steamed pork ribs, braised eggplant, and seaweed soup...

Not only was everything adequately seasoned, but the taste was also superbly delicious! They instantly believed Qiaoqiao's claim that Master Jiang was a renowned chef!

Moreover, they helped during the afternoon when the ingredients were delivered, everything was fresh, and the vegetables were vibrant.

Yet, the assistant chef Auntie Xiaofeng still lamented:

"You guys came late, if you had come earlier, you would have tasted the radishes grown in the village, now that was something delicious!"

She wasn't highly educated and didn't know how to elaborate on the flavor, so she resorted to a simple example:

"Back then, radishes in the market were fifty cents per pound, and those from our village were five to six bucks a pound!"

"Only slightly less tasty than those from Song Tan's Home."

This example was so vivid, everyone immediately started imagining, and became hungry before it was even mealtime at night.

Gastric Bypass Brother, who wasn't supposed to feel hungry, had prepared some monkey head mushroom biscuits for himself. But eating them dry in the mouth wasn't satisfying, better to wait by the window.

His longing expression stunned the security team who had just entered the canteen, prompting a few security guards ahead of him to quietly give up their spots...

In short, having just finished their midnight snack, everyone was passionately talking about food in the middle of the night!

"I definitely can't miss breakfast tomorrow! If I'm not up, someone please wake me…"

"So, what are we eating?"

"I don't know, but in the afternoon, I saw some leeks being delivered, and there were some vermicelli soaked during supper... Are we having dumplings for breakfast?"

"Didn't see any dumpling preparation in the afternoon? With so many of us, making dumplings would take forever..."

"I know!" the calm girl spoke calmly: "I heard in the evening, tomorrow morning they're making sour soup old duck noodles, with thin, crispy leek and vermicelli egg pork fat pancakes. If you don't want something greasy, there's sweet potato porridge."

Everyone: ...

Such a long prefix! Such a tempting fantasy! So much drool!

"Make sure to wake me up in the morning!"
