The Green Tea’s Crushing Victories in the ’70s

136 cups of green tea

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, he had to make at least two or three calls every day, and every time he hung up, he could feel his reluctance floating over the phone.

Tong Xuelu understood his excitement of becoming a father for the first time, but he was too clingy.

Since she was pregnant, her family treated her like porcelain and needed protection everywhere, wishing she could lie on the bed 24 hours a day and not move, which made her very angry.

Later, it was she who recruited Grandma Shen to help her as a lobbyist and gave lessons to a roomful of inexperienced men before she regained her freedom.

Tong Xuelu is very aware of her health, and she plans to continue to open the Lo-Mei Zhai and the restaurant as planned.

Lo Mei Zhai has already started to make a profit, as long as there are no mistakes, Guo Chunyu can take care of the rest of the matter.

Next, her focus will be on the restaurant. If she is not feeling well, she will put her body first and hand over the restaurant to Deng Hong to take care of it, or temporarily suspend business.

If her body is fine, then she plans to continue, but she is only pregnant, not so delicate.

When she got up this morning, she ate the breakfast Uncle Zong made for her, a cup of soy milk, two meat buns, an apple and some nuts.

Nuts are what she proposed to eat. Nuts are very nutritious, and they are very useful for both adults and children.

After breakfast, she took the car to Lo-Mei Zhai to inspect.

Because the business of Lo Mei Zhai is good, many people have seen the business opportunity and the purchasing power of the students. Several shops next to it are currently being renovated.

Seeing her, Guo Chunyu reported to her the business and customer feedback of the past few days, and said worriedly: "Manager Tong, I have inquired about it. The restaurants next door are all for catering. Will it affect our business?"

Tong Xuelu said with a smile: "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 that?"

Tong Xuelu explained: "If there is only our shop on this street, even if the reputation spreads, there will be a limited number of people coming here, but if one day this street turns into a food street, the whole street will sell delicious food. , more and more people will be attracted.”

Guo Chunyu thought for a while and nodded: "It's still Manager Tong who is far-sighted, and I can only see what is in front of me."

Tong Xuelu smiled: "The five people who came to help, what do you think of them?"

Guo Chunyu: "Manager Tong has a good vision. The five of them are very capable and hardworking. I didn't push them back when I asked them to work. But if you want to say the most outstanding and 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 her eyebrows: "Oh, what did he do?"

Guo Chunyu: "A student came over that day and said that our lo mei was not fresh. He had diarrhea and asked us to apologize and compensate in public, and we were not allowed to open after closing."

"I went out at the time, and only he and my silly brother were in the store. Wei Ping was so scared that he couldn't speak, but Jiang Junli was the one who held his own. He said on the spot that he would send the other party to the hospital for an examination, and then went to the Public Security Bureau. When the person heard that he was going to the hospital and wanted to report the crime, he was immediately scared."

Tong Xuelu: "Are you sure the other party is a student?" She suspected that someone deliberately made trouble for her because of her good business.

As for the suspect, she thought of Qian Caixin.

Guo Chunyu shook her 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 him. Manager Tong, did we do something wrong?"

Tong Xuelu reassured: "It's okay, you have done a good job, don't be afraid when encountering things, and you don't need to reason with them, just report to the police directly."

It was beyond her surprise that Jiang Junli acted so calmly and steadily. She will observe and observe later. If there is no problem, she can be cultivated as a backbone.

Guo Chunyu nodded: "By the way, Manager Tong, now that the weather is getting colder day by day, our lo mei business may drop in time."

Malatang is hot, and the colder the weather, the better the business, but the lo mei is as frozen as a popsicle, so no one will want to buy it.

Tong Xuelu praised: "Your suggestion is very good. It will be cold later, and I have new dishes to serve, so you don't have to worry."

At that time, the supply of lo mei will be relatively reduced, and barbecues can be set up. When the weather is cold, other shops will also start their business. By then, more and more people will know that this street sells delicious food.

Seeing Tong Xuelu's confident appearance, Guo Chunyu was filled with admiration.

Sure enough, there is a big gap between people. Regardless of his young age, Manager Tong is so capable. He cooks top-notch dishes, is very experienced in dealing with people, and is still the best in the city in his reading and exams.

Nothing compares nothing compares.

After leaving "Lo Mei Zhai", Tong Xuelu went to the state-run restaurant where Deng Hong was, and Deng Hong said that there were two chefs he could introduce to her.

When she came to the state-run hotel, Jiang Danhong was also here.

"Don't you have class today?" Tong Xuelu asked.

"There is no class today. I heard that you are hiring a cook, so I came over to have a look."

While talking, Jiang Danhong wanted to pour her the tea made from wax gourd rind.

"I'll just drink plain water."

Tong Xuelu knew that she had good intentions. If she was the only woman in a room full of men, there would be gossip.

Jiang Danhong asked strangely: "Don't you usually like to drink tea made from wax gourd skin? Why don't you drink it today?"

Tong Xuelu looked down at her stomach, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "I'm pregnant."

Jiang Danhong was stunned for a moment: "Really? How come so fast, I really congratulate you!"

Tong Xuelu: "Yeah, I didn't expect it to be so soon."

"It should be January, right?

"Yes, it's exactly one month. The tea made from wax gourd rind is cold. You'd better not drink it when you have your menstrual period. If you drink too much, you may cause cold and dysmenorrhea."

Jiang Danhong looked shocked: "Is there such a saying? I quite like drinking it, especially in summer, I tend to get angry. I drink it almost every day. No wonder it hurts so much when I have my period in 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.

When Deng Hong saw Tong Xuelu, he quickly greeted 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, pointing at the man with an inch-length head, and said, "This is Master Huang Dakai, who has fifteen years of cooking experience."

Then he pointed to the tall and thin middle-aged man and said: "This is Master Song Weijun, who has seventeen years of cooking experience. Both of them worked in state-run restaurants in other provinces. Come here, I haven't found 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 hurriedly said, "Hello, Manager Tong."

Tong Xuelu said with a smile: "You two masters are welcome, tell me what kind of dishes each is best at?"

Huang Dakai spoke plastic mandarin: "I'm Cantonese Bank, and I'm good at cooking Cantonese cuisine, and I'm also good at dim sum."

Song Weijun said succinctly: "I am from Sichuan, and I am good at cooking Sichuan cuisine."

Deng Hong laughed and said, "How about letting the two chefs cook two special dishes on the spot for everyone to try?"

Tong Xuelu said yes.

So Deng Hong took two masters to the kitchen to cook.

"Sister Danhong, what do you plan to do after graduation?"

Tong Xuelu took out snacks from her bag and ate them with Jiang Danhong.

In the past few days, her appetite has become very good, and she is always hungry easily.

Jiang Danhong: "I want to be a graduate student. If I can, I want to be a teacher in a university."

"You can have this. Being a university teacher is much easier than being a primary 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.

After more than an hour, the two chefs came out with their special dishes.

Master Huang Dakai made a crispy char siu and a quick sand bun for dim sum.

The crispy char siu is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, with a crispy outer skin. The char siew meat underneath is smooth and tender, and the taste is not too strong. After eating, the mouth is sweet, which is a typical Cantonese style.

Tong Xuelu picked up a chopstick and commented: "Master Huang's crispy char siew is very good, but if the skin of the char siu 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. My crispy barbecued pork tastes better than mine, but I can't handle the skin well, which causes the skin to turn black."

Tong Xuelu: "This has something to do with your heat, I will do it for you to see later."

Master Huang Dakai was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Manager Tong, does this mean that I have been admitted?"

Tong Xuelu nodded, and then picked up the quicksand bag he made.

The outer skin of quicksand buns is soft and tender, and the golden-yellow fillings flow out like golden sand when you take a bite. The fillings are sweet and salty, and the taste is very tender.

Tong Xuelu ate a whole one. She hadn't eaten authentic quicksand buns for a long time, and she missed them very much.

Master Song Weijun made a dish of Mapo Tofu and a dish of Kung Pao Chicken.

Mapo tofu is spicy and tender, while Kung Pao chicken has a strong spicy taste and smooth and crispy meat, the more you chew, the more delicious it becomes.

Tong Xuelu also affirmed Master Song Weijun's cooking skills, and pointed out that his mapo tofu was a bit old, but he was accepted in the end.

However, her restaurant will not open for half a month, and Tong Xuelu asked the two to go to the restaurant to report 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. Normally she was very energetic, but now she felt a little tired.

So she dismissed the idea of ​​going to the department store and took the bus home.

After waiting for the bus for half an hour, Tong Xuelu decided to turn around and make money. The first thing she did was to buy a car.

As soon as she entered the house, the moon cake rushed towards her, but suddenly stopped in the middle of the attack, and sniffed around her belly.

Tong Xuelu had heard that animals are very spiritual, and when they realized that their owner was pregnant, they would take the initiative to stop rushing towards them.

She rubbed Mooncake's head: "Mooncake, do you know that I'm pregnant?"

Moon Cake softly called out to her, completely different from her usual heroic appearance.

At this moment, the wooden door was suddenly pushed open, and Wen Rugui walked in sweating from the outside: "Where did you go? I went to the Lo Mei Zhai and didn't find you."

Tong Xuelu stood up and said strangely: "I went to Lumei Zhai, and then went to the state-run restaurant where Manager Deng works. Why did you come back suddenly?"

Wen Rugui walked 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 puppy, and it happened to be one month old. Bring them together."

When Tong Xuelu heard that there was a puppy, she asked curiously, "Where is the puppy?"

Wen Rugui took her hand and went to see the little milk dog.

The little milk dog is a kind of wolf dog. Because it is still young, it looks a bit naive. It looks at Tong Xuelu foolishly with a pair of big watery eyes.

Tong Xuelu fell in love immediately, and rubbed the little guy's head: "What name should I call you?"

"Wow~"

The little milk dog barked twice.

Immediately, Wen Rugui said, "Why don't you just call me the Green Turtle."

The corner of Tong Xuelu's mouth twitched violently: "..."

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 Quicksandbag.

Because the quicksand buns she ate just now were delicious, she thought she could eat three or four more, so she named the little milk dog this.

Wen Rugui regrets that the little milk dog cannot be named "Green Turtle".

At night, she leaned against Wen Rugui's arms after washing.

Wen Rugui stroked her flat stomach gently: "Where are you going in the future, tell your family members so they won't worry about you."

Tong Xuelu hooked his neck and bit his chin: "Okay, I will listen to you, and I will tell Uncle Zong when I go out."

Wen Rugui trembled from being bitten by her, and opened the distance between the two of them and said, "Be patient, I asked the doctor, it will take three or four months before..."

Tong Xuelu: "..."

Ouch, this made her seem very horny.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Wen Rugui thought she was angry: "I will come back to accompany you and the child more often in the future."

Seeing how obedient he was, Tong Xuelu couldn't bear to tease him.

The point is that her spirit is indeed not as good as before, and she is already feeling tired at the moment.

Seeing her yawning again and again, Wen Rugui helped her to lie down and said, "Since you're sleepy, go to sleep."

He got up and turned off the light, Tong Xuelu hugged his waist, and soon fell asleep.

She didn't know how long she had slept, but she was woken up by voices in a daze.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Wen Rugui standing by the bed, facing the empty window and said, "Did you really ask your father to arrange for a woman to approach Shi Xiuneng?"
