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

67 cups of green tea

When I woke up in the morning, the wind rustled outside, and the fallen leaves swirled down from the branches, dead branches and leaves all over the place.

Xiao Liu cooed in the yard, and after two yells, she laid an egg and came out.

Tong Xuelu woke up, stretched while looking at the light outside the window, and then got up to have breakfast.

Coming out of the bed, she shivered, and then sneezed again, which woke up the little ball on the bed.

Tong Mianmian's long eyelashes blinked, and she revealed her face flushed with sleep from under the quilt: "Sister, are you going to wake up?"

Tong Xuelu rubbed her head: "I can still sleep for a while, my sister will call you later."

Tong Mianmian smacked her 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 Xiao Jiu tell you?"

"Xiao Jiu said she wanted to be Mian Mian's wife, but Mian Mian rejected him."

"Pfft—"

Tong Xuelu couldn't help laughing when she heard the words: "Why did you reject Xiao Jiu? Isn't Xiao Jiu very good-looking? How nice it is to be a daughter-in-law?"

When the voice fell to the ground, Xiaotuanzi didn't answer, and had already closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

Tong Xuelu covered her with the quilt, turned around and went out to make breakfast.

As soon as she opened the door, the autumn wind blew over, and she couldn't help shivering again.

It's so cold.

But it's better to be cooler, so that there will be a market for her next project.

Tong Jiaming has already woken up here, as usual, after cooking the porridge, he went to the study to preview his homework.

Compared with Tong Jiaxin, he is really self-disciplined and hardworking.

Tong Xuelu went to pick up the eggs laid by Xiao Liu, and Xiao Liu cooed when she saw her, as if claiming credit and saying, "Look, I laid eggs again."

Tong Xuelu: "Understood, I will get you some delicious food later."

The actor Gouzi Mooncake behind him was even more excited than Xiao Liu when he heard the food, jumping up and down, making Xiao Liu cluck in fright.

Tong Xuelu took the eggs and made a few omelets, and fried a vegetable, which was both meat and vegetables.

After eating, she sent Tong Mianmian, who hadn't slept enough, to Wei's house, and gave her this month's meal money by the way.

Shen Wanrong took the money after nagging for a while.

When they arrived at the hotel, Meng Qingqing and the others had already arrived.

The few people didn't know what they were talking about, Guo Chunyu's face was flushed with laughter, and her voice was so bright and loud that her laughter could be heard from far away.

Seeing Tong Xuelu, Guo Chunyu joked with a smile: "Manager Tong, you are here, we have been eating the northwest wind for a long time in front of the door!"

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 Chinese-character face as soon as she came here like before, and she has to be angry from time to time.

Opening the door and going in, before cleaning, Tong Xuelu gave them a meeting.

"From today onwards, we are going to prepare for battle. I plan to restore our hotel's business turnover to the previous level within half a month!"

Guo Chunyu: "Manager Tong, what shall we do next?"

Tong Xue's green apricot eyes glanced at them, and said word by word: "Make Malatang!"

Malatang?

The eyes of Meng Qingqing and the others were full of confusion.

Tong Xuelu said popular science: "Ma La Tang is the way to put meat and vegetables on bamboo sticks and cook them together in sauce soup. Qingqing, did you bring the things I asked you to bring?"

Meng Qingqing nodded quickly, and took out a large bag of bamboo sticks: "My father said that there are so many now, and I will bring another batch in two days."

Guo Chunyu and Guo Weiping approached and looked curiously at the bamboo sticks in the bag.

Tong Xuelu took out the bamboo stick to check, then nodded with satisfaction.

The size of the bamboo sticks is very uniform, and the surface is smooth, so you are not afraid of cutting your mouth when eating.

What an amazing craftsman these days!

When she came back from a meeting with the Ministry of Commerce that day, she thought of using Malatang.

She also thought about using hot pot before, but she quickly rejected that idea because hot pot was too expensive.

Now there are only a few pots in the restaurant, so it is impractical to make hot pot.

But making Malatang is much simpler. As long as the ingredients and seasoning are well prepared, you can make something delicious without taking up tools and space at all.

So when she returned to the restaurant that day, she asked Meng Qingqing if her father could make bamboo sticks.

She had heard from Meng Qingqing before that her father could use bamboo to make all kinds of furniture, 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 well, when you go back, tell your father to make another batch according to this pattern."

This is a normal purchase, purchased from their production team in the name of the state-run hotel, so there is no need to worry about being reported as a private transaction.

Meng Qingqing's eyes were bright, and she nodded again and again: "Okay, I'll tell my dad when I get back."

Last time, because she refused Liu Dongchang's matter, her mother was arrested and imprisoned for many days, and because of the absence of Liu Dongchang's future son-in-law, her younger brother's job could not be changed to a regular position.

Because of this, her grandfather had a big opinion on her, and now the state-run restaurant buys bamboo sticks from his father, which can be regarded as generating income for the family.

In this way, grandpa shouldn't see her eyes are not eyes, and her nose is not a nose, right?

Tong Xuelu put the bamboo sticks back and said: "I'm going to buy ingredients now, I have a lot of things, Xiao Guo, you can carry things with me!"

Guo Weiping nodded quickly.

Guo Chunyu and Meng Qingqing didn't think it was unfair. After Tong Xuelu left, they started to clean up.

**

Tong Xuelu took Guo Weiping to the supply and marketing cooperative first.

When they came to the supply and marketing cooperative, the two meat sellers saw Tong Xuelu with no expression on their faces.

Tong Xuelu didn't care, walked over and said, "Master Wu, is the meat in our restaurant ready?"

State-run restaurants and supply and marketing cooperatives have always had a cooperative relationship, and state-run restaurants 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 pig bones and a small piece of meat on the table, and the meat was the worst pork in the world.

Seeing this, Guo Weiping's face flushed red, and there was a line written on his face: It's too deceiving!

Master Wu and another employee looked at Tong Xuelu from the corner of their eyes, with a playful smile in their eyes.

Tong Xuelu blinked her eyelashes, without a trace of anger on her face, she turned around and said, "Master Wu, I have something to ask you."

Seeing that she wasn't angry, Master Wu was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the matter? I told you in advance, if you want good meat, I can't help it. You are not the only restaurant in our supply and marketing cooperative to come and buy!"

In addition to the restaurant under Tong Xuelu, there is also a state-run restaurant nearby that purchases pork from this supply and marketing cooperative.

When Liu Dongchang was here before, the two were tied, but now Liu Dongchang has left a mess.

The reputation of the restaurant was bad, and there was no business recently, so the supply and marketing cooperative left all the good meat to another state-run restaurant.

The smile on Tong Xuelu's face remained unchanged: "What I want to talk about is not about pork. I heard that Master Wu has been in this business for almost 20 years and is a leader in the pig slaughtering world, so I want to interview Master Wu, and then Write an article about Master Wu's difficult story and post 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 know the story of Master Wu, it will inspire others and let everyone learn from Master Wu's hard-working spirit. Qiqi contributes to the construction of the motherland!"

Master Wu is a man who is more than 1.8 meters tall. When he heard this, his eyes turned red like rabbits.

At this moment, the passion in his heart was surging, his nose was sore, and he had a lot to say.

In his line of work, everyone thinks they are glamorous and can eat as much meat as they want, but who the hell sees their hard work?

They have to go to the slaughterhouse to kill pigs at three or four o'clock, and then they have to come to the supply and marketing agency to sell the meat after the pigs are slaughtered.

Butchering pigs is not only a technical job, but also a physical job. After the pigs are slaughtered, they are too tired to move.

Especially as he was getting older and older in recent years, he worried that he would not be able to kill him in a few years.

But now finally someone understands his hard work, can he not be moved?

Master Wu forced back tears, coughed and said, "Manager Tong, do you think this is true?"

Tong Xuelu nodded: "Of course it is true. I will make a series in the future, specifically interviewing advanced workers like you, Master Wu. If you are not advanced, I will definitely not interview!"

Master Wu became more and more excited: "When will Manager Tong be interviewed? I'm a bit dirty now. Why don't you come back when I go back and change?"

Tong Xuelu waved his hand: "Master Wu is not in a hurry, I have to go shopping for other things, I am also busy today, let's go tomorrow, I will come back tomorrow afternoon."

As she said that, she turned around and was about to pick up the meat on the table.

Master Wu ran over at a brisk pace, stopped her and said, "Manager Tong, the meat is wrong. It's for other people. I haven't got yours yet."

Tong Xuelu smiled and said: "So that's how it is. Then I would like to ask Master Wu to give me some big bones, as well as pig liver and pig offal. Pork belly and tenderloin should be a little bit of lean meat, and the amount should not be too much."

Master Wu responded repeatedly, and he acted quickly and accurately. He gave Tong Xuelu all the meat that was supposed to be reserved for another restaurant, and all of them were the best parts.

Tong Xuelu gave the money and the ticket 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 finished speaking, he was interrupted by Master Wu: "You have been killing pigs for less than ten years, do you have a story of bullshit hardship?!"

What a joke, only the hardest and most advanced workers are eligible to be interviewed, such as him.

Xiao Sun is here to join in the fun!

If their stories were put together, wouldn't that bring him down?

Tong Xuelu said with a smile: "Next time, for interviews this time, it is enough to have one representative person in each industry."

A representative of an industry!

When Master Wu heard this, he immediately became more proud and confident, his chest puffed up like a rooster that always wins.

Hearing this, Xiao Sun said regretfully, "Then Manager Tong must think of me if he wants to interview again in the future."

Tong Xuelu quickly said that he would definitely give him priority, and Xiaosun smiled brightly.

Coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Guo Weiping was carrying the pork, his eyes still straightened.

Manager Tong is too powerful, right?

He used to come here with Liu Dongchang to purchase, but Liu Dongchang wanted to curry favor with the two butchers when he saw them.

But even then, restaurants sometimes don't get the best meat.

But after a few words, Manager Tong asked the two butchers to volunteer the best meat to their restaurant.

That's awesome!

Tong Xuelu ignored Guo Weiping's admiring eyes and took him to the grocery store to buy vegetables.

She followed the same pattern and subdued Manager Zhou of the food station.

**

Back at the restaurant, she started making Mala Tang.

Today is the first day, and she only needs to make small portions.

Firstly, this is a new food, and secondly, everyone has not yet accepted restaurants again.

So there shouldn't be too many people coming 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 sticks together.

She prepared fried tofu, various mushrooms, black fungus, pork liver and other pork offal, as well as vegetables.

After everyone accepts it, she will add other meatballs, fish balls and other things.

After finishing these, Tong Xuelu started to cook the red soup needed for Malatang.

She didn't ask anyone else to help in this step.

Malatang actually has no technique at all, the only secret lies in the ingredients.

Although she felt that Guo Weiping and the others were of good character, she must be on guard against others.

In order to avoid trouble, she didn't intend 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 cooperatives, so she asked Wei Guozhi next door to help in advance.

Wei Guozhi has a friend whose family used to be an old Chinese doctor. Although he no longer helps people see a doctor, he still has various Chinese herbal medicines at home.

Tong Xuelu bought a lot of Chinese herbal ingredients, such as amomum and cinnamon, from them privately through Wei Guozhi.

After everyone finished their lunch, Tong Xuelu asked Guo Weiping and others to help move the stove, spatula and other things to the outside door.

Everything was ready, Tong Xuelu started to cook Malatang.

The cauldron is placed on the stove, and the aroma keeps wafting out while cooking.

The smell is overbearing and seductive, making passers-by swallow their mouths.

"What is this restaurant cooking? Why does it smell so good?"

"Look at the strings on the table, why is it so strange, I have never seen this way of eating before."

"Me too, but no matter how fragrant it is, I can't go in. Only one bite less can save my life!"

Words like this float into my ears from time to time.

Seeing this, Meng Qingqing and the others were so anxious that they could not wait to go up and explain.

Tong Xuelu's face was pale, and she was still not in a 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!"

When Tong Xuelu saw the group of art troupe, the corners of her mouth raised: "You guys came just in time, I made a new dish today, you can try it."

Fang Jingyuan smelled the fragrance early in the morning, and she leaned over with sparkling eyes: "Is this the new dish you mentioned? Eat it with a bamboo stick?"

Tong Xuelu nodded: "This is called Malatang. See what you want to eat, and I'll cook it for you. It's up to you whether you want it spicy or not."

Fang Jingyuan smelled the scent coming to her face, her stomach growled: "I want to eat, this, this, and this, can I have a portion of each?"

Tong Xuelu nodded: "Of course, there are noodles here. If you are afraid that you will not be full, you can also order noodles to cook together."

Fang Jingyuan ordered a portion of everything, and also ordered noodles: "I want spicy, and I want green onions."

Then other people came over and asked for some.

Seeing this, the three of Meng Qingqing couldn't close their mouths with laughter: Finally, we have a guest!

A group of people from the art troupe originally came to cheer for Fang Jingyuan's face, and Tong Xuelu tried a new dish to show her face.

But they didn't expect this thing called Malatang to be so delicious!

The taste is spicy and salty, and the soup tastes mellow. I rode a bicycle all the way, and my hands were frozen.

After eating Malatang, my head was sweating and my whole body was warm.

If you usually eat meat, you need to order a pot. One or two people can't finish it. The key is that it is expensive!

Now you can eat different vegetables and meat for less money than usual.

What a bargain!

Some people ordered less and asked for more as they ate.

Some people saw that the members of the cultural troupe went in, and they ate so deliciously that they were eager to move outside.

Someone hesitated for a long time and wanted to come and buy a copy, but unfortunately it was gone.

Tong Xuelu didn't have much to prepare, but Fang Jingyuan and the others had a lot, and they were sold out in no time.

As soon as they were sold out, Tong Xuelu asked Guo Weiping and the others to pack up the items.

Those who hesitated immediately regretted it.

Fang Jingyuan ate until her belly was round, and she slapped her mouth when she left: "I'll come back tomorrow, remember to save some for me."

Others quickly followed suit.

At night, Tong Xuelu stopped selling Mala Tang.

Rare things are more expensive, and those that cannot be bought will make people itch.

Although no other customers came to the door on the first day, some people came to ask the price, which can be regarded as a small improvement.

On this day, everyone in the hotel was beaming, as happy as the Chinese 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 took the house back.

Their family used to live in a courtyard with a garden, which was very large.

After the confiscation, it was rented out by the government, and the house was ruined in some places.

He's been so busy these days that he can't keep his feet on the ground, just doing things like fixing the house.

Today, the members of the Su family finally moved into their home after four years of absence.

Seeing the familiar environment, Su's father and Su's mother couldn't help crying.

After the mood calmed down, Su's mother 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 immediately 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 calm voice, "I'll pick her up after a while."

Su's father and Su's mother looked at each other when they heard the words.

Mother Su frowned and said, "Yueshen, you don't want to remarry Yilan, do you? You can't do such a heartless thing!"

They were in the cowshed all these years, and Yilan took care of the child alone. If there was anything wrong with them, Xiaojiu would be the only descendant of the Su family.

After many people's husband's family was judged as a villain, they asked for a divorce on their own initiative. Back then, Yilan didn't want a divorce and wanted to go to the cowshed with them.

They were the ones who persuaded her with their good words. In recent years, the Gu family has often asked someone to take care of them secretly.

So the Gu family's temperament is a bit soft, and they are too useless in Xiaojiu's affairs, but they must not forget their roots, and she will never allow her son to do ungrateful things!

Su's father didn't say a word. Based on his understanding of his son, he knew that his son would take one step at a time and watch three steps at anything he did.

He must have 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 change the temperament of the Gu family.

Otherwise, there will definitely be more troubles in the future.

base.

The three love chickens at the base got together again.

After Zhou Yan came back from the urban area, he changed from his decadent and resentful husband.

The whole person seems to be springing up on a dead tree, exuding one word from the beginning to the end: Sao.

Zhou Yan pulled his hair, and flaunted: "Xiaoyun has forgiven me, yesterday she specially left the chicken butt for me to eat!"

Wen Rugui: "..."

Huang Qimin: "..."

Zhou Yan: "What's that look on your face? Let me tell you, chicken butt is delicious, try it next time and you'll know I didn't lie to you!"

Huang Qimin shook his head: "Let's 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, showing off brightly.

Wen Rugui put down the chopsticks, and the tips of his ears turned red slightly: "My partner came to the base in person and brought me food, and even made me longevity noodles."

Zhou Yan: "..."

Huang Qimin: "..."

They lost.

Their subjects never came to base to see them!

These days, Wen Rugui really stole the show.

Who in the base doesn't know that he has a beautiful, good cook and gentle and considerate partner?

Both Zhou Yan and Huang Qimin were thinking about how to win the round.

Being overtaken by Wen Rugui, a latecomer, they seemed very humiliated.

Wen Rugui: "I've read a book before. It said that if objects are attracted to each other, they can smell fragrance from each other. Do you have any?"

Huang Qimin raised his eyebrows: "Is there still such a saying? No wonder I always think that my partner smells very good. I used to ask her if she wiped something. She always said no. I thought she was lying to me."

"She said that I have a scent of green grass on my body." When Huang Qimin said this, his face was terrified, and then he asked Zhou Yan, "Zhou Laxi, what kind of scent do you say you are?"

Zhou Yan's face was a little ugly.

He said several times that he smelled sweat and foot odor from his body.

Smell should also be considered a kind of attraction, right?
