Chapter 318: Graduation Ceremony

After dinner, the rare family gathered in a tea chat.

It happened that Qiao’s aunt came today and gave many gifts, and she was very careful. Took care of everyone in the family and everyone has gifts.

Junfeng’s gift was sent by You to the seventh prince.

Qiao saw everyone in joy and made him feel well. He sat there confidently with his waist and back straight.

Ye Jiayao deliberately asked where Qiao’s elder sister-in-law married when she thought about Chunyu’s story today.

Qiao said excitedly, ” It’s not easy for my elder sister-in-law to come back and marry in Quanzhou. When I was a child, my elder sister-in-law loved me and hadn’t seen me for more than ten years. I don’t expect her to come back to Suzhou this time and also come to Jin Lin to see me.”

” That’s too rare. If you want to have a good reception, why don’t you invite them to live in Heavenly Residence tomorrow, my treat?” Ye Jiayao said.

Qiao was delighted and was about to agree when she heard you say, ” Please stay at home.” Today, my elder sister-in-law of the Qiao came over and I just left the house. I didn’t even see the above. I’ll come to my home tomorrow and have a good talk.”

Xia Chunyu said at the right moment: ” My mother hasn’t been back to Hangzhou for many years. Her eldest brother has been in good health and can still come and see her in the past few years. Her legs and feet are not very well and can’t come.”

You had some regrets in her heart, and she was really helpless to marry so far. She wanted to go back and have a look. It was really inconvenient to have a high mountain and a high water. After listening to Chunyu, she missed her family all the more.

The duke said smilingly, ” You are right, I have been guarding the border all the year round. Your mother is afraid of travelling long distances and she must taking care of her family. So she can’t walk at all. Now, I’m one of the most idle people. I’ll take a holiday with the emperor later. Why don’t we go to Hangzhou this year, um … just over there for the new year.”

You accidentally looked at the duke. Was this true? Looking at the duke was not like talking casually, a burst of ecstasy in the heart, but immediately worried again, if she left, what would the family do? Jinxuan was in charge in the first year and had many social parties during the New Year. She still needed help. Moreover, it took at least more than two months for her to go there. Qiao’s body gradually became heavier. In case she gave birth in advance, she was absent as a mother-in-law and could she count on Aunt Wei?

” No No No! How can I get away with a family affair?” You thought about it, still focusing on home.

” Mother, you don’t have to worry about things at home, there is Jinxuan? I will thae care of outside, Jinxuan will take care of at home. Besides, my grandmother is getting older and less than one year old. Things are changeable … ” Xia Chunyu advised.

Having to say that Chunyu’s remark was a sore spot for You. Children would like to support but parents can not wait. You hesitated that if something terrible happen in next year .

Ye Jiayao said with a smile, ” Mother, you can go with your father at ease. You have worked hard for the family for most of your life. It’s time to take a good rest. After a year, Chunyu and I will go to Hangzhou to pick you up and meet my grandfather and grandmother by the way.”

The duke’s rare gentleness said, ” the children are all old, and we should let go.”

Chunli also said, ” Why don’t I accompany my father and mother?”

You glared at him. ” Your wife is still very big. You stay at home honestly and take good care of your wife. If you have any mistakes, I will hold you responsible.”

This was agreed?

Ye Jiayao and Xia Chunyu looked at each other with relief in their hearts.

The next day, Ye Jiayao purposely set aside half a day to receive Qiao’s aunt. After all, she was now the hostess and gave Qiao’s face.

The relationship between her and Qiao was be better at a tremendous pace, and the progress was very smooth. Qiao was convinced by her and often comes to consult her on how to do business. What was the good thing? He will come to her and say that after a long time of contact, Ye Jiayao felt that Qiao was not really a bad-hearted person or a little ambitious, but she was not good enough and liked to covet small gains, mainly because she was short of money. Now the business was getting better and better, and she was influenced by Ye Jiayao, and gradually becoming more generous.

Harmony brings wealth. She had already had a enemy, LiuLi, that was a rival to her, and can no longer have bad relations with Qiao.

The banquet was very abundant, the host family was polite and the guest family was well – informed, but it was quite pleasant.

When Qiao’s elder sister-in-law left, she said to Qiao: ” I am relieved to see your mother-in-law and sister-in-law today. It’s a blessing of the previous life for you to marry such a person. You get along well with your two younger siblings. She’s a capable person with an open mind and a good place. It won’t do you any harm only to get along.”

With such an explanation, Qiao increasingly determined to make friends with Ye Jiayao. Chunli was doomed to nothing in his life. The mansion’s second brother will be in charge in the future, and they must rely on his second brother and second sister-in-law.

Tomorrow was the graduation day of the first group of trainees in the training course. Lu Xiaotian asked her to deliver a speech at the graduation ceremony. Ye jiayao wrote her speech seriously in front of the desk, and what made herself excited.

This was the first culinary training class and the first batch of graduates in history. She didn’t know if this day will be recorded in history, but one thing was certain, these graduates were all very good, and the best was Wang Mingde, who was sent from Heaven Residence. This guy was really awesome. He did not say a word at ordinary times, and made a great coup in the assessment. Especially in vegetarian meals, even Madam Rong was also full of praise for him.

The draft had already been written, but Ye Jiayao was still in a state of excitement. And Chunyu was staying in the palace again tonight. She toss and turn in bed, unable to sleep by herself alone. She only slept a while before dawn. When the time came, Qiao Xi knocked at the door to wake her up soon.

Ye Jiayao quickly got up, looked in the mirror and was depressed. She had two dark circles under her eyes. She did the passionate speech with two dark circles under her eyes. How could she feel that it was not enough to give force?

As a result, Ye Jiayao wore a makeup rarely, dressed modestly and neatly, took Qiao Xi out of the house and headed for the training class.

The morning Rosefinch Street was a bit cold and cheerless, and there were few people in the spacious street, but Ye jiayao knew that the Drum-tower Street across the street was very busy, and the shops that made breakfast were already open, with steamed buns and tofu soup, delicious beef noodles and scallion oil … people went to the simple shed and threw two coppers to eat a full breakfast.

So, what an amazing thing to eat, to wear, to live, and eat rank first. Ye Jiayao felt that her speech could still be perfected. She was thinking of ecstasy. The carriage suddenly stopped suddenly, and the inertia made Ye Jiayao rush forward. If Qiao Xi hadn’t held her, her head would have crashed into the door.

” What’s going on?” Ye Jiayao complained.

Liu, the driver of the bus, said, ” There are officers and soldiers passing by.”

Ye Jiayao opened the car curtain and looked out, only to see a group of officers and soldiers, each looking alike, trotting by the side of the carriage at a uniform pace, with a total of 200 or 300 people.

Er … such a sight is rare. Ye Jiayao wondered if something had happened.

It was not until the officers and soldiers had passed that the carriage began to move slowly.

By the end of the training session, Duan Qilin and Lu Xiaotian were already there, and others were arriving one after another.

The graduation ceremony officially began.

First Lu xiaotian spoke.

” You are all the key members selected carefully by various restaurants, and after four months of study, you have proved with your practical actions that you are indeed qualified to be the first batch of trainees in the training course, and you have set a good example for the training course with your outstanding achievements … I announce that you have all passed the examination. Below, I read out the list of outstanding trainees, 10th, Guo Chong of Good again Restaurant, 9th, Zhang Xiangtian of Mingyue Resturant … 3rd, Zhao Linyue of Kirin Pavilion, 2nd, Guan Neng of Vegetarian food Restaurant, 1st, Wang Mingde of Heavenly Residence.

There was a big round of applause from the below.

Lu Xiaotian went on: ” the top three students will be included in the honor roll of our training course.”

The applause was even louder.

Everyone looked enviously at the students who had won the top three, without envy or disapproval. All the examination procedures were open and all about strength.

The next step was to issue certificates.

This certificate was proposed by Ye jiayao and confirmed after consultation with the relevant government departments. It was somewhat similar to the modern vocational and technical certificate and was a pioneer.

Therefore, the first batch of students who got this certificate were very excited.

This was the affirmation given by the government.I didn’t expect to have this honor in the training class.

Today’s ceremony was also attended by restaurants which transporting students, and they were very happy to see that the people they sent had achieved excellent results. The key to competition in restaurants was the competition for talents, and I hoped these people can play a big role when they returned.

Duan Qilin also went up to say a few words, but he hoped that everyone would make persistent efforts and learn endlessly when they returned.

When it was Ye Jiayao’s turn to speak, the students immediately quieted down and looked at Ye Jiayao expectantly.

Everyone knows that Ye Jiayao was the most important lecturer in this training course. What she taught was the most novel and practical. It was like opening a window to their closed hearts so that they can see a new world and rediscover themselves in this profession.

Ye Jiayao’s eyes swept gently through the excited and energetic faces. She took a deep breath and said slowly: ” At the opening ceremony, I said that we are not only cooks, but also the successors of Chinese food culture. We have a higher and larger goal, not only for the sake of supporting the family, but also for you, us and each of us.Each of us is a brick and a cornerstone to this goal. Now, you have all obtained certificates with outstanding achievements and become outstanding figures in various restaurants, and become a outstanding person in this industry. And now, I want you to remember your mission. We are ordinary but we are not ordinary. We are small, but only if our heart works toward a goal, stone can also be accumulated into mountains, water into the sea. Do you have that confidence?”

Under the roar loud: ” Yes …”
