Wang Ying tested Xie Yuejin and got an idea. When she walked to the back kitchen, she saw Xu Shuang preparing stuffing. The most consumed items in state-owned restaurants were dumplings and buns. Xu Shuang was not responsible for making the buns, but was responsible for preparing the stuffing.
Seeing Wang Ying coming, Xu Shuang made a bowl of dumplings for her. In the town, the lunch was the busiest, and in the evening, only a few tables of people came. At this time, there were only a few men sitting outside, ordering some side dishes and chatting.
Xu Shuang served Wang Ying a large bowl of dumplings and a plate of boiled peanuts, and handed the money and ticket to the waiter.
The waiter had long forgotten about Wang Ying, mainly because Wang Ying had changed so much in the past few days. When she first came, she was skinny and her clothes were tattered. Now Wang Ying was wearing new clothes, her hair was a little darker, her cheeks were plump, and most importantly, her skin was several shades whiter.
The waiter said with a little envy: "A bowl of dumplings costs only 1.2 yuan, you don't need so many."
Xu Shuang gave me one dollar and fifty cents.
Xu Shuang was also unambiguous: "I served a few more."
The waiter didn't know what to say. Actually, Xu Shuang was in charge of the kitchen. If he had served a few more, no one would have noticed. But Xu Shuang always followed the rules and served what was supposed to be served.
When Wang Ying saw the big white dumplings in the bowl, all her worries disappeared. The pork and cabbage dumplings had solid meat fillings that she could taste with one bite.
Xu Shuang sat on the side watching. He had already had dinner, so he didn't feel sick of watching Wang Ying eat. Wang Ying finished a big bowl of dumplings, and he brought half a bowl of noodle soup from the kitchen.
After eating and drinking, Xu Shuang cleaned up the kitchen, and the two of them returned to the team together with flashlights.
On the way, Wang Ying told Xu Shuang what she had heard.
"Xie Yuejin made a good promise to the other party. He said that it was cold in winter and the store had stored a large amount of dried vegetables. He would replace some of the dried vegetables and keep some of the rest. Since you were not here, he had the final say in the kitchen. He would be able to get any condiments or oils by then..."
Xu Shuang held Wang Ying's hand and listened for a long time before she said "hmm".
Wang Ying: "Then what are you going to do?"
Xu Shuang stared at the road. The weather was cold now, so she had to be careful on her way home from get off work. The muddy road was frozen hard, and it was difficult to walk without a single step. She never knew where the bump might appear.
"Let him be."
He had long felt that Xie Yuejin was a man of many thoughts and was impatient to deal with him. In addition, he was quite strict when he was in charge of the kitchen, so Xie Yuejin did not dare to take action. From this point of view, it was normal for him to want to take action when he was not around.
Wang Ying reminded her, "I'm afraid he'll take advantage of the winter to replace or steal things, and when you come back, he'll blame you for this."
Xu Shuang: "Not really, he doesn't dare."
Xu Shuang explained the whole story to Wang Ying. In fact, the leaders in charge of the hotel were not happy about his two-month work suspension.
Xu Shuang has been working in the town for several years and his cooking skills are really good. Occasionally, people from the county town will come to him to try his cooking, which shows that his skills are quite impressive.
This time, he was put aside for more than two months because Xu Shuang was not very satisfied with his leader's little tricks.
The leader felt that it would not sound good to say that the restaurant relied on one cook. Originally, the leader designated Xie Yuejin to be Xu Shuang's apprentice, but Xu Shuang refused, saying that teaching was one thing, but taking apprentices was an old rule and that this was not the case in the new society, so Xie Yuejin did not want to change his words.
He won't change his words, so how can you teach him all his hidden skills
The leader was not happy with Xu Shuang's disobedience, and Xu Shuang felt that Xie Yuejin just couldn't learn it.
When asking for leave this time, Xie Yuejin jumped up and down to ensure that he could complete the task. The leader was also angry with Xu Shuang, thinking that you are just a cook. Without you as a butcher, how can you ask others to eat hairy pigs
Just go!
If Xie Yuejin can manage this business, there will be two chefs in the store in the future!
Xu Shuang: "So, Xie Yuejin won't blame me. He's eager to perform well."
The leader had the idea of promoting Xie Yuejin and suppressing Xu Shuang. Now that Xu Shuang couldn't come out, Xie Yuejin's chance was here.
If he does a good job, not to mention surpassing Xu Shuang, but as long as his skills are acceptable and can support most of the business in the store, then even if Xu Shuang returns to the kitchen, he will still have a place in the store and he will inevitably be given a raise and a promotion.
But now he has evil thoughts. Will the dishes in the restaurant taste good without enough oil and water
The stall could not be maintained, and when Xu Shuang returned, the leader said that if the situation was not good, someone who could learn the skill would be replaced in the kitchen.
Xu Shuang disagreed: "He wants to take things and show off. I don't think he has figured out what he wants. Or he is just greedy and wants everything."
Xu Shuang was not worried about being framed. His habit was to keep daily records. He would reconcile the purchase order data of the store every half a month, and there had been no mistakes in the past few years.
Xie Yuejin kept a sneaky eye on Xu Shuang in the store for quite some time, but he couldn't find any evidence against her.
So if he had used a little common sense, he would not have blamed Xu Shuang for the incident.
Wang Ying reminded Xu Shuang, and seeing that Xu Shuang was confident, she stopped talking.
It makes sense. Xu Shuang has a lot of connections of his own, so he wouldn't cheat at work. He doesn't care about such a small profit.
Xie Yuejin is very cautious. It depends on whether he can keep the customers in the next two months or secretly pocket the things in the store.
Although she didn't take Xie Yuejin seriously, because of Wang Ying's words, Xu Shuang simply threw the jar with her leader. They had originally agreed not to go there from December onwards, so Xu Shuang decided to hand over everything before the wedding and save time for a good marriage.
As for Xie Yuejin
Xu Shuang first set aside a week for him to adapt. Once the mountain was closed, any problems could not be blamed on Xu Shuang.
On the 24th, Xu Shuang finished handling all the matters in the store. She took inventory of the stored dried vegetables one by one, writing down the number of kilograms and the number of types on paper. Wang Ying suggested an idea, saying that for matters like handover, it would be best to just point out one thing and ask the other party to sign their name. Xu Shuang thought that was a good idea.
He wrote seven or eight notes, all of which clearly stated that the kitchen would be handed over to Xie Yuejin under the supervision of the leader.
The leader felt uneasy: "Is it that much trouble? It's not like you won't be coming back."
Xu Shuang put the note away and said, "These are all public property. We can make it easier to settle the matter later if we explain it clearly."
He never mentioned whether he would not come back.
The leader was startled, thinking, could this person really be planning to change his job
The leader immediately felt a little regretful. To be honest, Xu Shuang's cooking skills were good, and a restaurant in Shengli Commune also wanted to recruit Xu Shuang. After all, Xu Shuang was originally from Shengli Commune, so it was normal for him to go to his own commune.
However, Xu Shuang took into consideration that their brigade was too far from the commune and it was really troublesome to travel for more than an hour every day, so they came to the nearby Hongqi Commune.
Originally the leaders thought it was a good idea. Xu Shuang was a junior high school graduate and had some education. Since he came, everything in the kitchen was arranged in an orderly manner, and the leaders rarely had to worry about the store.
His skills are pretty good. After a few years, if he passes the exams to get a higher level, he will be able to make his restaurant famous.
If such a person leaves, it will be a great loss to the store.
Xu Shuang didn't care about the inner struggle of the supervisor. After handing over the things, he returned to the team. Of course, it hasn't snowed in the past few days, so if the hotel is unable to take care of it, it will still be in time to find him.
Xu Shuang left in a hurry because the team that had gone into the mountains returned today!
There were more than twenty people when they went there, and when they came back they were carrying two wild boars and a basket of rabbits, foxes and other things.
The whole brigade was in high spirits. When the task pigs were distributed, each family received several kilograms. Families with many people could get all of them after just a few bites. The wild boar meat was caught in the mountains, which was like picking it up for free. Every family was happy to get several kilograms of pork for free.
Xu Shuang took the dozen pounds of wild boar meat that he was allocated and exchanged some with a few familiar families. In the end, he kept thirty pounds of wild boar meat. He also had a few dried rabbits left. The two kinds of meat and the food he exchanged were enough to entertain the guests at the wedding banquet.
Xu Shuang borrowed a meeting room for the brigade, a ready-made table, some benches, and all the tableware.
Old Mrs. Xu completely abandoned her previous low-key approach and decided to hold the wedding in a grand manner.
There will be more than 20 people coming from Aunt Xu Shuang's house, and there are also a few families in the team who have good relations with the family. They will be scattered around, so we will have to set up at least ten tables.
Wang Ying couldn't help much, she couldn't even recognize all the people now.
In addition, the only relatives of the Wang family are Wang Yongshun and Li Chunjuan, and Wang Ying didn't even mention inviting these two people.
Wang Yongshun was puffing on his pipe. He didn't smoke originally, but a series of things happened recently that made him anxious and worried. Li Chunjuan was also making trouble. Wang Yongshun was so depressed that he started smoking.
Li Chunjuan was cleaning pork in the house. She cut a piece and cursed Wang Ying.
"You little whore, you really don't want your parents' home anymore! You won't even come when I call you!"
"I raised her for two years in vain, she's just an ungrateful person!"
After the wild boar was brought back, Wang Yongshun and his wife shared four or five pounds of it. But even though they had meat to eat, they still couldn't accept it.
Wang Ying and Xu Shuang are getting married tomorrow, and today Old Lady Xu started distributing wedding candies. Every child in the team took a few, and even those who were not close to them could get one or two pear paste candies.
But they are the only ones who don’t have it!
Not only candy, but also no wedding banquet. Wang Yongshun thought that even if it was just for the sake of face, Xu Shuang should invite them to a meal. How can there be no elders from the bride's family when getting married
But Xu Shuang and Wang Ying were birds of a feather. Neither of them said a word, and Old Mrs. Xu didn't even want to save her face.
According to common sense, this is not very good for the woman, but no one in the team thinks so.
"Wow, the Xu family kid has packed so many things. They look really impressive."
"Thirty-six legs, right? We are the first in the brigade."
"Aren't new quilts usually made by the woman? Why did Xu Shuang prepare this?"
"Is this marrying into the family or marrying a wife? I'm confused."
A series of envy made Li Chunjuan furious.
A little girl, who used to be a disaster to her parents, has become a popular girl now
Wang Yongshun got a headache when he heard her scolding people. It was like this in the past. He would scold Wang Ying to death over the smallest matter, and even beat her when he got excited. After a few rounds of scolding, he finally forced her out.
It's still like this now!
"Stop scolding me. Fry the meat and save the oil. Yaozong likes rice with lard the most. Make it and send it to him tomorrow."
If there is anything worth worrying about now, it is Wang Yaozong.
Wang Yongshun named his son Yaozong, hoping that he would bring honor to the family. As Wang Yaozong was about to graduate, Wang Yongshun planned to wait for his son to take him to the city to enjoy a good life.
Li Chunjuan was so angry that she threw the knife away: "You have no rigidity! She is your niece after all! Why don't you sit at the main table at the wedding?"
Wang Yongshun knocked his pipe on the ground and said, "Go ahead if you have the guts! Don't blame me for not reminding you, this girl is really ruthless right now."
Li Chunjuan was furious but there was nothing she could do. Just as Wang Yongshun said, Wang Ying didn't recognize any relatives.
If you really still treat them as your elders, why wouldn't you invite them to the wedding banquet
Xu Shuang listened to her in everything.
"You little whore, you're a jinx to me!" Li Chunjuan started the verbal abuse again.
Wang Yongshun got up and went into the house. He was too lazy to listen to Li Chunjuan's scolding, so he went into the house and walked to the pile of wooden strips at the corner, ready to take out his family's belongings and count them.
Wang Yongshun was dumbfounded by this.
There were originally 180 yuan in it, but now there is only 100 yuan left!
Wang Yongshun's legs went weak, because he had saved the one hundred and eighty yuan for Yaozong to plan a job in the city!
He stood up like a whirlwind, rushed into the kitchen and slapped Li Chunjuan in the face: "Is it you? You took the money?! You unlucky woman, I am so unlucky to marry a jinx like you!"
Li Chunjuan was slapped unexpectedly and her face became swollen. She went crazy when she realized what was happening.
They started fighting with Wang Yongshun, and the two of them were like enemies, fighting back and forth non-stop.
At this point, money was no longer important, and both of them were really angry. Li Chunjuan had a large handful of hair pulled out, and Wang Yongshun had two black eyes.
After the fight, Li Chunjuan refused to admit that she had taken the money: "Who knows how much you have hidden? Don't blame me!"
Wang Yongshun's eyes also turned red: "Who else could it be if not you?! There are only you and me in our family! If it's not you, then who else could it be?!"
Li Chunjuan certainly couldn't throw dirty water on her own son: "Bah! Who knows if it was eaten by rats? Don't blame others!"
Wang Yongshun collapsed to the ground: "That's eighty yuan!"
Li Chunjuan almost lost her balance. Her family was rich, and she felt uncomfortable that Wang Yongshun didn't tell her, but losing eighty dollars in one go was like digging out her heart and eating her flesh!
Li Chunjuan was anxious: "Then look for it again, maybe it's lost somewhere!"
Eighty dollars!
How long will she have to work in the fields to earn back the money
Wang Yongshun covered his eyes, feeling depressed and heavy-hearted. If the eighty yuan wasn't taken by Li Chunjuan, who else could it be
It's impossible for Yaozong to do that. Sooner or later, this money will be spent on him, and he definitely can't take it away.
That is... Wang Ying
Li Chunjuan insisted that it was Wang Ying!
"I said that little bitch bought this and that, it turns out she stole our money!"
Li Chunjuan struggled to go out and find trouble with Wang Ying.
Wang Yongshun also became interested. He felt that the money must have been taken away by someone outside the house, but he couldn't be sure that it was Wang Ying. Even if he was sure that it was Wang Ying, could he find evidence to prove that he had caught Wang Ying
There is no stamp on the money!
This is how he took Wang Yingniang's money, and he was sure that Wang Ying couldn't get any evidence against him.
Now if Wang Ying took his money, he would have no evidence!
Wang Yongshun sat on the ground and for the first time felt that his life was extremely difficult.
Li Chunjuan wanted to make a scene, but Wang Yongshun didn't stop her.
He is also very angry now.
Since we have already stopped communicating, let’s just make trouble!
Wang Yongshun instructed Li Chunjuan: "Let's wait until Xu Shuang comes to pick us up tomorrow before we start making trouble!"
No matter whether the money can be recovered or not, at least Wang Ying's marriage has been arranged!
Life at home was so difficult, why should she marry in such a grand manner? !
You wish!
