Wen Rugui only stayed at home for one day and then went back to the base. As soon as he got back to the base, he called back immediately.
After that, I had to call back at least two or three times a day. Every time I hung up, I could feel his reluctance drifting from the other end of the phone.
Tong Xuelu understood his excitement as a new father, but he was too clingy.
Since she became pregnant, her family thought she was made of porcelain and needed protection everywhere. They wished that she would lie in bed 24 hours a day and not move, which made her laugh and laugh.
Later, she brought Grandma Shen to help her as a lobbyist and taught a room of inexperienced men before she regained her freedom.
Tong Xuelu is very aware of her body, and she plans to continue to open the Luweizhai and the restaurant according to the plan.
Luweizhai has already started to make a profit. As long as there is no mistake, Guo Chunyu can take care of the rest.
Next, her focus should be on the restaurant. If she is not feeling well, she will focus on her body and hand over the restaurant to Deng Hong to take care of it, or it can be temporarily closed.
If there is no problem with her body, then she intends to do it, but it is just pregnant, not so delicate.
When she woke up this morning, she ate the breakfast that Uncle Zong made for her, a cup of soy milk, two meat buns, an apple and a portion of nuts.
Nuts are what she proposed to eat. Nuts are very nutritious, and they are very useful for adults and children in their wombs.
After breakfast, she drove to Luweizhai for inspection.
Because Luweizhai's business is good, many people have seen business opportunities and the purchasing power of students. There are several shops next to it that are currently being renovated.
Seeing her, Guo Chunyu reported to her the business operations and customers' feedback in the past few days, and said worriedly: "Manager Tong, I have inquired about it, and the restaurants next door are all doing catering. Will it affect our business?"
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "It will definitely have an impact at the beginning, but in the long run, it will be a good thing."
Guo Chunyu looked confused: "How do you say this?"
Tong Xuelv explained: "If there is only our shop on this street, even if the reputation spreads, the number of people will be limited, but if one day this street becomes a food street, the whole street will sell delicious food. , then more and more people will be attracted.”
Guo Chunyu thought about it for a while and nodded: "it's Manager Tong, you are far-sighted, I can only see right in front of me."
Tong Xuelu smiled: "What do you think of the five people who came to help?"
Guo Chunyu: "Manager Tong's vision is very good. The five of them are very capable and can bear hardships and stand hard work. I didn't push them to work, but if I want to say the best and most capable, it belongs to the young man named Jiang Junli."
Jiang Junli is Jiang Baihui's distant relative. In terms of seniority, he should be Jiang Baihui's cousin.
Tong Xuelu raised an eyebrow: "Oh, what did he do?"
Guo Chunyu: "The other day, a student came over and said that our lo-mei was not fresh. He had diarrhea and asked us to apologize and compensate in public, and that we were not allowed to reopen after closing."
"When I went out, there were only him and my stupid brother in the store. Wei Ping was so frightened that he couldn't speak, but Jiang Junli was able to hold on to it. He said on the spot that he would send him to the hospital for examination, and then go to the Public Security Bureau. Reported the case, the person heard that he was going to the hospital and wanted to report the case again, so he immediately persuaded."
Tong Xuelu: "Are you sure the other party is a student?" She suspected that someone was looking at her good business and deliberately made trouble.
As for the suspect, she thought of Qian Caixin.
Guo Chunyu shook his head: "when I came back, the other party had already squeezed into the crowd and ran away. We were afraid that things would get worse, so we didn't go after them. Manager Tong, did we do something wrong?"
Tong Xuelv reassured: "It's okay, you are doing well, don't be afraid when you encounter something, and don't have to reason with them, just report it to the police directly."
Jiang Junli's calmness and steadiness is beyond her surprise. I will observe and observe later. If there is no problem, it can be cultivated as a backbone.
Guo Chunyu nodded: "By the way, Manager Tong, the weather is getting colder day by day, and our lo mei business will drop by then."
Malatang is hot, and the colder the weather, the better the business, but the luwei is frozen like a popsicle, and no one will want to buy it.
Tong Xuelu praised: "Your opinion is very good. It's cold later, I have new dishes to supply, you don't have to worry."
At that time, the supply of lo mei will be relatively reduced, the barbecue can be done, and when the weather is cold, the business of other shops will also start, and there will be more and more people who know that there are food sellers in this street.
Guo Chunyu was full of admiration when she saw Tong Xuelu's confident look.
Sure enough, there is a big gap between people. Even though Manager Tong is young, he is so capable. He cooks first-class, and is very experienced in life. He is still the first in the city in reading and exams.
There is no comparison.
After leaving "Luwei Zhai", Tong Xuelv went to the state-run restaurant where Deng Hong was located. Deng Hong said that there were two chefs who could introduce her to her.
When he came to the state-run hotel, Jiang Danhong was also here.
"Don't you have class today?" Tong Xuelv asked.
"There is no class today. I heard that you are going to hire a chef, so I came to see it."
Jiang Danhong said that while pouring her tea made from winter melon rind.
"I'll just drink plain water."
Tong Xuelu knew that she was well-intentioned, and if she was the only woman in a room of men, there would only be gossip when it spreads.
Jiang Danhong said strangely: "Don't you usually like to drink tea made from winter melon peels? Why don't you drink it today?"
Tong Xuelu looked down at her belly and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "I'm pregnant."
Jiang Danhong was startled for a moment: "Really? Why so fast, congratulations to you all!"
Tong Xuelu: "Yes, I didn't expect it to be so fast."
"This should be January, right
"Yes, it's just one month old. The tea made from the wax gourd skin is cool. You'd better not drink it when you have a monthly routine. If you drink too much, it will cause your body to become cold and cause dysmenorrhea."
Jiang Danhong was shocked: "Is there such a saying? I still like to drink it, especially in summer, it's easy to get angry. I drink it almost every day. No wonder the pain is so bad in the summer. It seems that I should drink less in the future."
While the two were talking, Deng Hong walked in with a middle-aged man from outside.
Seeing Tong Xuelu, Deng Hong quickly greeted him with a smile: "Comrade Tong came here so early?"
Tong Xuelu: "Well, these two should be the masters you want to introduce?"
Deng Hong nodded, pointed at the man with a short head and said, "This is Master Huang Dakai, with fifteen years of cooking experience."
Then he pointed at the tall and thin middle-aged man and said, "This is Master Song Weijun, who has seventeen years of cooking experience. Both of them used to work in state-run restaurants in other provinces. Recently, their family members came to Beijing to make a living. They followed Come here, I can't find a job for a while."
After speaking, he said to the two of them: "This lesbian is the owner of the hotel."
The two masters said quickly, "Hello Manager Tong."
Tong Xuelv said with a smile: "You two masters are welcome, tell me what kind of dishes each is best at?"
Huang Dakai spoke in plastic mandarin: "I'm Canton Silver, I'm good at Cantonese cuisine, and dim sum is also good."
Song Weijun said concisely: "I am from Sichuan, and I am good at cooking Sichuan cuisine."
Deng Hong said with a smile: "Why don't you let the two masters cook two good dishes on the spot for everyone to try?"
Tong Xuelu said yes.
So Deng Hong took two masters to the kitchen to cook.
"Sister Dan Hong, what are you going to do after graduation?"
Tong Xuelu took out snacks from her bag and ate it with Jiang Danhong.
She has a good appetite these days and is always hungry.
Jiang Danhong: "I want to go to graduate school. If I can, I want to go to university to be a teacher."
"This can be done. Being a college teacher is much easier than being an elementary school teacher."
The key is that the treatment and social status are different, and Jiang Danhong's character is indeed more suitable for staying in school.
More than an hour later, the two chefs came out with their own dishes.
Master Huang Dakai made a crispy char siu and a dim sum quicksand bun.
The crispy char siu is tender on the outside and tender on the inside, the skin is crispy, and the char siu pork underneath is smooth and tender, and the taste is not too strong.
Tong Xuelu picked up a chopstick and commented: "Master Huang's crispy barbecued pork is very good, but if the color of the barbecued pork can be a little more golden, it will be even better."
Master Huang Dakai nodded sharply: "Manager Tong is worthy of being a first-class chef. I ask myself that my crispy char siew tastes better than mine, but my skin is always poorly grasped, which causes the skin to turn black."
Tong Xuelu: "It has something to do with your heat. I'll do it again for you to see later."
Master Huang Dakai was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled: "Manager Tong, does this mean that I was accepted?"
Tong Xuelu nodded, then picked up the quicksand bag he made.
The crust of the quicksand bag is soft and tender, and the golden-yellow filling immediately flows out like golden sand. The filling is sweet and salty, and the taste is very fresh.
Tong Xuelu ate the whole thing. She hadn't eaten an authentic quicksand bag for a long time, and she missed it very much.
Master Song Weijun made Mapo Tofu and Kung Pao Chicken.
The mapo tofu is spicy and tender, the kung pao chicken is spicy and spicy, the meat is smooth and crispy, and the more chewed it is, the more fragrant it is.
Tong Xuelu also affirmed Master Song Weijun's cooking skills, and pointed out that his Mapo Tofu was a bit old, but he finally accepted the other party.
However, her restaurant still has half a month to open, and Tong Xuelu asked the two to report to the restaurant in advance.
After coming out of the state-run hotel, she wanted to go to the department store to buy something, but she didn't know if it was because of her pregnancy. She was usually very energetic, but now she felt a little tired.
So she gave up the idea of going to the department store and went home by bus.
After waiting for the bus for half an hour, Tong Xuelu decided to turn around and make some money. The first thing to do was to buy a car.
As soon as she entered the house, the moon cake rushed towards her, but suddenly stopped halfway through and sniffed around her stomach.
Tong Xuelu had heard that animals were very spiritual, and when they noticed that their owner was pregnant, they would take the initiative to stop rushing towards them.
She rubbed the head of the mooncake: "mooncake, did you know I'm pregnant?"
Mooncake called her softly, completely different from her usual sassy and heroic appearance.
At this moment, the wooden door was suddenly pushed open, and Wen Rugui walked in sweating from outside: "Where have you been? I went to Luweizhai and didn't find you."
Tong Xuelv stood up and said strangely, "I went to Luweizhai, and then went to the state-run restaurant where Deng was the manager. Why did you come back suddenly?"
Wen Rugui came over, checked her with his eyes, and found that she was fine, so he responded, "I bought you a cassette tape recorder, my friend's dog gave birth to a cub, and it was just one month old, so I will brought along."
When Tong Xuelu heard the puppy, she asked curiously, "Where is the puppy?"
Wen Rugui took her hand and looked at the little milk dog.
The little milk dog is a breed of wolf dog. Because it is still young, it looks a bit silly. It looks at Tong Xuelu stupidly with big watery eyes.
Tong Xuelu fell in love at once, and rubbed the little guy's head: "what should I call you by?"
"Wang Wang~"
The puppy barked twice.
Immediately, Wen Rugui said, "Why don't you just call me Green Turtle."
Tong Xuelu's mouth twitched twice: "..."
She really didn't expect that after so long, Wen Rugui still remembered the name, she immediately denied it, and finally named the little milk dog Quicksand Bag.
Because the quicksand bag she ate just now tasted so good, she thought she could eat three or four more, so she named the little milk dog.
Wen Rugui regretted that the little milk dog could not be named "Green Turtle".
At night, after washing, she leaned against Wen Rugui's arms.
Wen Rugui gently stroked her flat stomach: "Where are you going in the future, tell your family so they don't worry about you."
Tong Xuelu hooked his neck and bit his chin: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go out and tell Uncle Zong later."
Wen Rugui was bitten by her so much that her body trembled, she pulled the distance between the two and said, "You have to bear with it, I have asked the doctor, it will take three or four months before..."
Tong Xuelu: "..."
Ouch, this makes her seem thirsty.
Wen Rugui saw that she didn't speak, and thought she was angry: "I will come back to accompany you and the child more in the future."
Tong Xuelv didn't have the heart to tease him when he saw how well he said it.
The key is that her spirit is indeed not as good as before, and she is already tired now.
Wen Rugui watched her yawn again and again, helped her lie down and said, "Since you're sleepy, then go to sleep."
He got up and turned off the light, Tong Xuelv hugged his waist, and soon fell asleep.
She didn't know how long she had slept, but she was woken up by the voice in a daze.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Wen Rugui sitting beside the bed and said to the empty chair, "Did you really ask your father to arrange a woman to approach Shi Xiuneng?"
