When I woke up in the morning, the wind was rustling outside, the fallen leaves rolled down from the branches, and the dead branches and leaves all over the place.
Xiao Liu cooed in the yard, and after two calls, he laid an egg and came out.
Tong Xuelu woke up, stared at the light outside the window and stretched, then got up for breakfast.
Coming out of the bed, she shivered, then sneezed again, waking the little dumpling on the bed.
Tong Mian's long and dense eyelashes blinked, and a red-sleeping face emerged from the duvet: "Sister, are you going to get up?"
Tong Xuelu rubbed her head: "I can sleep for a while, my sister will call you later."
Tong Mianmian smacked his mouth twice and muttered, "Sister, Mianmian saw Xiao Jiu just now."
see
It must be a dream, right
Tong Xuelu asked while putting on her clothes, "What did Xiaojiu tell you?"
"Xiaojiu said he wanted to be Mianmian's daughter-in-law, but Mianmian rejected him."
"Pfft-"
Tong Xuelu couldn't help laughing when she heard the words: "Why did you reject Xiaojiu? Isn't Xiaojiu very good-looking? How good is it to be a daughter-in-law?"
The voice fell, and the little dumpling didn't answer, he had closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
Tong Xuelv covered her with the quilt, turned around and went out to make breakfast.
As soon as she opened the door, the autumn wind blew, and she couldn't help shivering again.
It's so cold.
But it's better to be cold, so that her next project will have a market.
Tong Jiaming was already up here. As usual, after he cooked the porridge, he went to the study to preview his homework.
Compared with Tong Jiaxin, he is really self-disciplined and diligent.
Tong Xuelu went to pick up the eggs laid by Xiaoliu, and when Xiaoliu saw her cooing, she seemed to be taking credit and said, "Look, I've laid eggs again".
Tong Xuelu: "I see, I'll get you something delicious later."
The gouzi mooncake behind him was even more excited than Xiaoliu when he heard the food, and jumped up and down, making Xiaoliu cluck in fright.
Tong Xuelu took the eggs and made a few omelettes, and scrambled some green vegetables.
After eating, she sent Tong Mianmian, who had not slept enough, to Wei's house, and by the way, gave this month's meal money.
Shen Wanrong took the money after nagging for a while.
When they came to the hotel, Meng Qingqing and several people had already arrived.
Several people didn't know what they were talking about, but Guo Chunyu's face was flushed with laughter, her voice was bright and loud, and her laughter could be heard from far away.
Seeing Tong Xuelu, Guo Chunyu laughed and joked: "Manager Tong, you are here, we ate in front of the door for a long time, Northwest Wind!"
Tong Xuelu smiled without saying a word.
She feels that this state is very good now, and she doesn't have to see Tan Xiaoyan's face with Chinese characters as soon as she comes, and she will be stunned by Yin and Yang from time to time.
Opening the door and going in, before cleaning, Tong Xuelv gave them a meeting.
"We are going to prepare for the battle from today. I plan to restore the business volume of our hotel to the previous level within half a month!"
Guo Chunyu: "Manager Tong, what are we going to do next?"
Tong Xue's green apricot eyes glanced at them, and said word by word, "Do Mala Tang!"
Mala Tang
Meng Qingqing's eyes flashed with confusion.
Tong Xuelu said popular science: "Malatang is the way of putting meat and vegetables on bamboo skewers and putting them in the sauce soup to cook. Qingqing, did I ask you to bring anything?"
Meng Qingqing nodded quickly and took out a large bag of bamboo sticks: "My dad said that there are only so many now, and I will bring another batch in two days."
Guo Chunyu and Guo Weiping came together and looked curiously at the bamboo sticks in the bag.
Tong Xuelv took out the bamboo stick to check, then nodded with satisfaction.
The size of the bamboo sticks is uniform and the surface is smooth, so there is no fear of cutting your mouth when eating.
The artisans today are amazing!
When she came back from a meeting in the Ministry of Commerce that day, she thought of using Mala Tang.
She also thought about using hot pot before, but she quickly rejected the idea because hot pot was too expensive.
Now restaurants only have a few pots, so making hot pot is impractical.
But making Mala Tang is much simpler. As long as the ingredients and seasonings are done, you can make something delicious without taking up any tools or space.
So when she returned to the hotel that day, she asked Meng Qingqing if her father could make bamboo sticks.
She heard Meng Qingqing say before that her father could make all kinds of furniture out of bamboo, and many people in the production team asked him to do the work.
At that time, Meng Qingqing nodded as soon as she heard it, making bamboo sticks is much easier than making furniture.
Tong Xuelu: "Very good, when you go back, tell your dad to make another batch like this."
This is a normal purchase. It is purchased from their production team in the name of a state-run hotel, so there is no need to worry about being reported to do business in private.
Meng Qingqing's eyes were bright and she nodded again and again: "Okay, I'll tell my dad when I go back."
Last time, because of her rejection of Liu Dongchang, her mother was imprisoned for many days, and because of the absence of Liu Dongchang, her future son-in-law, her little brother's work could not be changed.
Her grandfather had a great opinion of her because of this, and now the state-run hotel buys bamboo sticks from his father, which can be considered as generating income for the family.
In this way, grandpa should no longer see her eyes are not eyes, nose is not nose, right
Tong Xuelv put the bamboo sticks back and said, "I'm going to buy ingredients now, there are a lot of things, Xiao Guo, go and pick up things with me!"
Guo Weiping nodded quickly.
Guo Chunyu and Meng Qingqing didn't feel unfair either. After Tong Xuelv left, they started to work and clean up.
**
Tong Xuelv took Guo Weiping to the supply and marketing cooperative first.
When they came to the supply and marketing cooperative, the two employees who sold meat saw Tong Xuelu with no expression on their faces.
Tong Xuelv didn't care either, walked over and said, "Master Wu, is the meat in our restaurant ready?"
State-run hotels have always had cooperative relations with supply and marketing cooperatives, and state-run hotels have the right to purchase first.
Master Wu raised his chin towards the table inside and said, "It's all there."
Tong Xuelu looked over and saw a few pieces of pork bones and a small piece of meat on the table, and at first glance, the meat was the worst pork on the side.
Guo Weiping saw this, his face flushed red, and a line of words was written on his face: It's so deceiving!
Master Wu and another employee looked at Tong Xuelu from the corner of their eyes, and their eyes were full of playful smiles.
Tong Xuelu blinked her eyelashes without a trace of anger on her face. She turned around and said, "Master Wu, I have something I want to ask you."
Seeing that she was not angry, Master Wu said, "What's the matter? I told you in advance that if you want good meat, I can't do anything about it. We are not the only restaurant in our supply and marketing agency that comes to buy it!"
In addition to the restaurant under Tong Xuelu, there is also a nearby state-run restaurant that purchases pork from this supply and marketing cooperative.
When Liu Dongchang was there before, the two were tied, and now Liu Dongchang has left a mess.
The reputation of the restaurant was rotten, and there was no business recently, so the supply and marketing cooperative left all the good meat to another state-run restaurant.
Tong Xuelu's smile did not change: "I don't want to talk about pork, I heard that Master Wu has been in this business for nearly 20 years, and he is a leader in the pig killing world, so I want to interview Master Wu, and then Write an article about Master Wu's hard story and paste it in our restaurant."
"For an advanced front-line worker like Master Wu, there must have been many hard and great stories in the past. If more people can know the story of Master Wu, it will inspire others to learn from Master Wu, your spirit of enduring hardships. Qi Qi contributes to the construction of the motherland!"
Master Wu, a big man who is more than 1.8 meters tall, when he heard this, his eyes suddenly turned red and became a rabbit.
At this moment, his heart was full of passion, his nose was sore, and he had something to say.
In his line of work, everyone thinks they are very bright, and eat as much meat as they want, but who the fuck sees their hard work
At three or four o'clock, they have to go to the slaughter farm to kill the pigs, and after killing the pigs, they have to come to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell meat.
Killing pigs is not only a technical task, but also a labor of strength. After killing the pigs, they are too tired to move.
Especially since he's getting older and older in recent years, he's worried that he won't be able to kill him in a few more years.
But now someone finally understands his hard work, can he not be moved
Master Wu forced his tears back, coughed and said, "Manager Tong, do you think this is true?"
Tong Xuelu nodded: "Of course it's true, I'll make a series later, specially interviewing advanced workers like you, Master Wu, I'll never interview if you're not advanced!"
Master Wu became more and more excited: "When will Manager Tong interview, I'm a little dirty now, why don't I go back and change clothes before coming back?"
Tong Xuelv waved his hand: "Master Wu is not in a hurry, I have to go shopping for other things. I am also busy today. I will come tomorrow. I will come back tomorrow afternoon."
Saying that, she turned around and went to pick up the meat on the table.
Master Wu ran over and stopped her and said, "Manager Tong, these meats are wrong. This is for other people. I haven't made yours yet."
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "So that's the way it is. Then please ask Master Wu to give me some big bones, as well as pork liver and pig offal. The pork belly and tenderloin should have a little bit of lean meat, so I don't need too much."
Master Wu responded again and again, started quickly and accurately, and gave Tong Xuelv all the meat that was originally going to be left to another restaurant, and all of them were the best parts.
Tong Xuelv gave the money and tickets and was about to leave.
Another employee, Xiao Sun, hurried over and said with a flattering smile: "Manager Tong, I also have a lot of hard stories to tell..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Master Wu: "It's been less than ten years since you killed pigs, you have a hard story of bullshit?!"
What a joke, only the toughest and most advanced workers are eligible to be interviewed, like him.
What kind of fun is this guy Xiao Sun coming to join in!
If their stories were put together, wouldn't that bring him down
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "Next time, for this interview, it's enough to have a representative of an industry."
One industry representative!
When Master Wu heard this, he became more and more proud and confident, and his chest stood up like a rooster.
Hearing this, Xiao Sun said regretfully, "If Manager Tong wants to interview in the future, he must think of me."
Tong Xuelu hurriedly said that he would definitely give priority to him, only then did a flower smile on Xiao Sun's face.
After coming out of the supply and marketing agency, Guo Weiping was holding the pork, his eyes were still straight.
Manager Tong, this is too powerful, right
He also came to buy with Liu Dongchang before, even if Liu Dongchang saw two meat-selling masters, he wanted to please them.
But even then, restaurants sometimes fail to get the best meat.
But after a few words, Manager Tong asked the two butchers to voluntarily give the best meat to their restaurant.
So awesome!
Tong Xuelv ignored Guo Weiping's admiring eyes and took him to the vegetable station to buy vegetables.
She followed suit and subdued Manager Zhou of the vegetable station.
**
Back at the restaurant, she started making Mala Tang.
Today is the first day, and she only makes small portions.
First, this is a new food, and secondly, people have not yet re-accepted restaurants.
So there shouldn't be too many people here.
Tong Xuelu asked Meng Qingqing and Guo Chunyu to come in to help wash the vegetables, and then the eldest sister put the vegetables and meat on the bamboo skewers together.
She prepared oil tofu, various mushrooms, black fungus and pork liver and other pig offal, as well as vegetables.
After everyone accepts it, she will add other meatballs, fishballs and other things.
After doing this, Tong Xuelu started to cook the red soup needed for Mala Tang.
At this step, she did not ask others to help.
Mala Tang actually has no technique at all, the only secret is in the ingredients.
Although she felt that Guo Weiping's personalities were not bad, but the heart of guarding against others was indispensable.
In order to avoid trouble, she didn't plan to let them know for the time being.
There are many ingredients for making red soup, some of which cannot be bought by the supply and marketing cooperative. She asked Wei Guozhi next door to help in advance.
Wei Guozhi has a friend whose family used to be an old Chinese medicine practitioner. Although he no longer helps people to see a doctor, he still has a variety of Chinese herbal medicines at home.
Tong Xuelu bought a lot of Chinese herbal medicine ingredients, such as Amomum and cinnamon, with them through Wei Guozhi.
After everyone finished lunch, Tong Xuelv asked Guo Weiping and others to help move the stove and spatula to the outside door.
Everything is ready, Tong Xuelv starts to cook Mala Tang.
The cauldron is placed on the stove, and the aroma keeps wafting out as it cooks.
The smell is domineering and seductive, making passers-by swallow their saliva.
"What is this restaurant cooking? Why does it smell so good?"
"Look at the strings on the table, why is it so strange, I've never seen this way of eating before."
"Me too, but no matter how fragrant it is, you can't go in. You can save your life by eating one less bite!"
Words like this drift into my ears every now and then.
Meng Qingqing and several people were so anxious to see this, they could not wait to explain it.
Tong Xuelu's face was pale, still in no hurry.
This is normal and will be fine in a few days.
After a while, five or six bicycles stopped in front of the hotel, and a group of young and beautiful girls got off the bicycles.
Fang Jingyuan walked in the front: "Xuelu, we are here to support you!"
Tong Xuelv saw a group of people in the art troupe, and the corners of his mouth raised: "You came just in time. Today I made a new dish, you can try it."
Fang Jingyuan smelled the fragrance early in the morning, and her eyes were bright.
Tong Xuelu nodded: "this is called Mala Tang, you see what you want to eat, I'll cook it for you, add spicy or not."
Fang Jingyuan smelled the aroma, her stomach growling: "I want to eat, this, this, and this, can I have one of each?"
Tong Xuelu nodded: "Of course, there are noodles here. If you're afraid you won't be full, you can order noodles and cook them together."
Fang Jingyuan ordered a portion of everything, and also asked for noodles: "I want spicy and green onions."
Then other people came over and asked for some.
Seeing this, Meng Qingqing and the three of them couldn't close their mouths with laughter: Finally there are guests!
A group of people from the art troupe originally came to cheer on Fang Jingyuan's face, and tried a new dish for Tong Xuelu.
But they didn't expect this stuff called Mala Tang to be so delicious!
The taste is spicy, salty and fragrant, and the soup is mellow. I rode a bicycle all the way, and my hands were frozen.
After eating Mala Tang, I sweated all over my head and felt warm all over.
Usually eat meat in a pot, one or two people can't finish it, the key is expensive!
Now you can eat different vegetables and meats for less money than usual.
What a bargain!
Some people order less, and then add more as they eat.
Some people saw that all the people in the art troupe went in, and they ate so fragrantly that they were ready to move outside.
Some people hesitated for a long time and wanted to come and buy one, but unfortunately it was gone.
Tong Xuelu didn't have much preparation, and Fang Jingyuan had a lot of food, and they were all sold out at once.
As soon as it sold out, Tong Xuelv asked Guo Weiping and a few people to pack the things in.
Those who hesitated suddenly regretted it.
Fang Jingyuan had a round stomach and slapped her mouth when she left: "I'll be back tomorrow, remember to save some for me."
Others quickly followed suit.
At night, Tong Xuelv doesn't sell Mala Tang anymore.
Things are rare and expensive, and what you can't buy will make people ticklish.
Although there were still no other guests on the first day, some people came to ask about the price, which was considered a small improvement.
On this day, everyone in the restaurant was beaming with joy, as if they were celebrating the New Year.
**
When the Su family was designated as a villain, all the family's property and real estate were confiscated.
After Su Yueshen came back, he stepped up to deal with these matters.
Finally, when the other family members returned to Beijing, they got the house back.
Their family used to live in a courtyard with a garden, which was very large.
After being confiscated, it was rented out by the government, and some parts of the house were ruined.
He's been so busy these days that he can't touch the ground, just fixing things like the house.
Today, the people of the Su family finally moved into their home after an absence of four years.
Father Su and Mother Su looked at the familiar environment and couldn't help crying.
After she calmed down, Mother Su asked Su Yueshen, "When are you going to pick up Yilan and my grandson?"
Su Yue said deeply, "I'll pick up Xiao Jiu later."
Su's father and Su's mother suddenly heard that something was wrong.
"What about Yilan? Aren't you going to take her back?"
Su Yue pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose deeply, and said in a light voice, "I'll pick her up after a while."
Father Su and Mother Su looked at each other when they heard the words.
Mother Su frowned and said, "Yue Shen, don't you think you don't want to remarry Yi Lan? You can't do such an unconscionable thing!"
They have been in the cowshed for all these years, and Yi Lan is alone with the children. If they have any problems, Xiao Jiu is the only descendant of the Su family.
After many husbands' families were judged as villains, they took the initiative to ask for divorce. Back then, Yilan didn't want a divorce and wanted to go to the bullpen with them.
It was they who talked and talked to persuade her to live. In recent years, the Gu family often entrusted people to take care of them secretly.
Therefore, the Gu family's temperament is a little softer, and it is too useless in Xiaojiu's affairs, but as a human being, she must not forget her roots, and she will never allow her son to do ungrateful things!
Father Su didn't say a word. From what he knew about his son, he knew that his son would take one step at a time and see three steps in everything he did.
He must have had his reasons for doing so.
Su Yue said deeply: "Mom, don't worry, I know what to do."
Remarriage will definitely remarry, but before remarriage, he has to twist the temper of the Gu family.
Otherwise, there will definitely be more trouble in the future.
base.
The three love chickens at the base got together again.
After Zhou Yan came back from the city, he changed the way he used to be decadent and complaining about his husband.
The whole person seems to be a dead tree in spring, and there is one word from beginning to end: Sao.
Zhou Yan tugged at his hair and showed off: "Xiaoyun has forgiven me, but yesterday she deliberately left the chicken butt for me to eat!"
Wen Rugui: "… "
Huang Qimin: "… "
Zhou Yan: "What's your expression on? I'll tell you, chicken butt is delicious, and next time you try it, you'll know that I didn't lie to you!"
Huang Qimin shook his head: "Forget it, but my partner called me yesterday, and she said she would send me some food today."
When he said this, Huang Qimin's face was exactly the same as Zhou Yan's, that is, showing off brightly.
Wen Rugui put down the chopsticks, and the tips of his ears were slightly red: "My partner personally came to the base to give me food, and also made me longevity noodles."
Zhou Yan: "…"
Huang Qimin: "… "
They lost.
Their subjects never came to the base to see them!
These past few days, Wen Rugui has really been in the limelight.
Now who doesn't know that he has a beautiful and gentle and considerate person who can cook
Both Zhou Yan and Huang Qimin were thinking about how they could pull back a round.
Being overtaken by Wen Rugui, a latecomer, they seemed very embarrassed.
Wen Rugui: "I read a book before. It said that if people are attracted to each other, they can smell the fragrance from each other. Do you have any?"
Huang Qimin raised his eyebrows: "Is there such a statement? No wonder I always feel that my partner is very fragrant. I used to ask her if she wiped something, and she always said no. I thought she was lying to me."
"She said that I smelled of grass." Huang Qimin's face twitched when he said this, and then he asked Zhou Yan, "Zhou Laxi, what kind of scent does your partner say you are?"
Zhou Yan's face was a little ugly.
His subject stated several times that he smelled sweat and feet odor from him.
The smell should also be considered a kind of attraction, right
