85 cups of green tea

The weather was getting colder and colder, and when I got up in the morning, there was a layer of hoarfrost on the dead branches in the yard.

Tong Xuelu took out Tong Mianmian's thick padded jacket and dressed Xiaotuanzi into a ball.

Tong Mianmian struggled to get down from the bed to brush her teeth and wash her face.

Tong Xuelu followed behind her, seeing that it was difficult for her short claws to brush her teeth, so she asked her, Mianmian, do you want my sister to brush your teeth for you?

Tong Mianmian shook her head, and said in a milky voice, No, Mianmian can brush it by herself, sister, you can see that Mianmian's toothbrush is so white.

As she said that, she grinned, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth, which were very neat and beautiful.

Tong Jiaxin, who came out of the room, paused when he heard this, and had the urge to go back.

But the sharp-eyed Tong Mianmian had already seen him: Third brother, come and brush your teeth quickly, because you don't like brushing your teeth, you are now toothless, like an old lady!

Tong Xiang old lady Jiaxin: ...

Generally, children start to lose their teeth at the age of four or five. Maybe children in this age have no nutrition and it is relatively late to change their teeth. Tong Jiaxin only started to lose their teeth recently.

He seems to have been holding back for a long time before, and lost four or five teeth in a row during this change of teeth. Now not only is his speech leaking, but he can't eat a lot of meat.

Tong Mianmian didn't understand the meaning of changing teeth, she only lost teeth when Tong Jiaxin didn't brush her teeth, so she had to warn her third brother from time to time.

Tong Jiaxin has a hard time.

After Tong Xuelu washed up, she went to the kitchen to order wontons.

The wontons were made last night, and now they just need to be thrown into the water to cook.

The wontons were ready quickly, and Tong Xuelu filled four bowls. Brothers Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin were waiting in the kitchen early in the morning, their stomachs gurgling from the aroma.

Now that the wontons are ready, I hurried to the hall with the bowl in my hands.

The wonton skins made by Tong Xuelu are very thin, and the fillings are made of pork, shiitake mushrooms and fungus. Lard is added to the soup, and green onions are floating on top. It looks very appetizing.

Tong Jiaxin didn't care about the heat, and swallowed a wonton with a sniff. It was so hot immediately, but he couldn't bear to spit it out.

The crispness of the fungus, the richness of the shiitake mushrooms, and the aroma of lard and pork are perfectly blended together. At the end of the meal, there is a sweetness that permeates the entire mouth. It is very fresh!

It was so delicious!

Toothless Tong Jiaxin ate one wonton, his eyes narrowed.

After the meal, Tong Xuelu took Tong Mianmian to Wei's house, and brought over the uncooked wontons by the way.

It would be too expensive to demolish the house and rebuild a restaurant. The finance department didn't want to spend the money, so after a meeting and discussion, it was decided to renovate a nearby teahouse that had been abandoned for several years and then turn it into a restaurant.

The teahouse used to be a public-private joint venture, but later food poisoning killed people, and people dared not go there to eat, so the restaurant couldn't continue.

Tong Xuelu went to the new restaurant to see it. It was an old-style tea house with two floors, and there were still many old furniture in it, which was very antique.

It is too wasteful for such a tea house to be abandoned, but fortunately, it will be reopened now.

Tong Xuelu put forward some suggestions and requirements of her own. She likes this kind of antique building very much, so she intends to keep this characteristic.

Of course, it is still a relatively sensitive period. At most, the furniture and the original design of the teahouse will be kept. It is impossible to hang ancient paintings of famous people in it. If you want to hang it, you can only hang the head of the chairman.

Now the decoration is almost complete, and it will open next week.

The thought of going to the new restaurant made Tong Xuelu feel even better.

When I came to the hotel, I saw three more people at the entrance of the hotel than usual.

Seeing Tong Xuelu approaching, six pairs of eyes fell on her.

Guo Chunyu, Meng Qingqing, and Guo Weiping hurriedly greeted each other: Good morning, Manager Tong!

Tong Xuelu: Good morning.

Seeing this, the three newcomers hurried to make up for it: Good morning, Manager Tong.

A middle-aged man in his forties said: I am the new master Lei Dayong, and I was introduced by Minister Lin.

The young man who was less than twenty years old beside him said: I am apprentice Xiaotian, and I was also introduced by Minister Lin.

The last female comrade in her twenties said: I am the waiter Wu Lizhu, and I was introduced by Minister Lin's wife.

Two Ministers Lin introduced it, and one Minister Lin's wife introduced it.

I understand, they are all related households.

Tong Xuelu smiled and said, Are you here today? I thought it would take two days for you to report. It's cold outside. Let's go in, everyone.

Seeing Tong Xuelu's enthusiasm, the three newcomers were relieved of their uneasiness a lot.

On the contrary, Guo Chunyu's three old friends began to beat up in their hearts.

The newcomers are all related households, and they are also relatives of Minister Lin. Wouldn't they want to walk sideways in the restaurant in the future?

Will the hotel still have their place in the future?

Tong Xuelu didn't seem to see the faces of the people, walked over to open the door, and then led a group of people in.

After entering, Tong Xuelu asked someone to open the window, and then started the meeting.

Master Meng will come back in a few days. Our restaurant is getting more and more lively. In order to let everyone work together better in the future, let's make a detailed self-introduction, starting with Master Lei.

Lei Dayong saw that Tong Xuelu was the first to click on him, and he showed a complacent expression on his face: I worked as a master chef in a state-run restaurant in Jin City for eight years, and I have a second-level chef certificate.

Tong Xuelu: Very good, I have a first-class chef certificate, we can learn from each other in the future.

Lei Dayong's bubble that had just popped out was immediately burst, and his tone was a lot more modest: How dare I compete with Manager Tong, Manager Tong is the one who won the first place in cooking, I should learn from you.

Tong Xuelu smiled and said: Threesomes must have my teacher, everyone has his own advantages, Master Lei is from Jin City, he will definitely have a lot of dishes there, so that we can enrich our restaurant cuisine.

Lei Dayong thought she was going to hit him just now, but seeing her encourage him now, he was a little puzzled.

Master Lei is a veteran in the workplace, and he has the relationship with Minister Lin. If he doesn't suppress his arrogance at the beginning, he will become even more defiant in the future.

But it's not enough to suppress too much, after all, there is Minister Lin's relationship, so the best way is to hit a date with a stick.

Oda is nineteen years old this year. Because of his poor health, he has been out of work since graduating from junior high school. He is a newcomer in the workplace.

Waiter Wu Lizhu graduated from high school and worked as a temporary worker in a garment factory before.

Then Tong Xuelu asked Meng Qingqing and the others to introduce themselves.

After all the introductions were finished, Tong Xuelu continued: It is a kind of fate that everyone can work together in this restaurant. Some of you are old employees, and you have done a good job before. I hope you can continue to play hard work in the future. Spirit.

As for the newcomers, although I don't know your previous performance, you are all relatives of Minister Lin. Minister Lin is a very capable leader. I believe the people he introduces will not be bad!

Everyone present was praised and felt very comfortable.

Tong Xuelu suddenly slapped on the table with a snap: However, there is no rule without rules. Since you come to this restaurant, you should do things according to my rules. If you do well, you will be rewarded. If you don't do well, you will be rewarded. You will be punished, I don't care who your relatives are, or how long you have been here, everything will be done according to the rules!

The three new employees and the three old employees felt very fair when they heard this.

The new employees are worried that Tong Xuelu is partial to the old employees. After all, they have worked together for a long time, and they will be partial when they have feelings.

The old employees worried that Tong Xuelu would favor the new employees because they were related. If that happened, they would not only feel disappointed, but also resentful.

Now it's best to work together according to the rules, no one will take sides, and no one will have any privileges.

Seeing their expressions, Tong Xuelu knew that she had made the right move.

When there are too many people, the most fearful thing is that the bowl of water will be uneven.

From today onwards, she will be a Duan Shui master.

Tong Xuelu looked at Meng Qingqing and Guo Chunyu: Qingqing, Chunyu, you two should take Lizhu with you from today onwards. If there is anything she doesn't understand, you can't hide it. You must teach her carefully. Our new restaurant is opening next week, and I don't want to make any jokes!

Guo Chunyu smiled and said, Manager Tong, don't worry, we will definitely take care of Comrade Wu!

Wu Lizhu also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

Before she came, she was ready for intrigue. Now that Manager Tong is fair and other colleagues are easy to get along with, the idea of ​​intrigue in her heart has faded a little.

After finishing speaking, Tong Xuelu looked at Master Lei again: Currently, Master Meng has not come to work. In addition to me being in charge of the restaurant, Xiao Guo also helps a lot. Master Lei might as well write down the dishes he knows. , we will make unified adjustments in the future.”

Master Lei nodded sharply: Okay, I will think about it later.

When you are new to a restaurant, what you are most afraid of is sitting on the bench.

The person in charge is Manager Tong himself. Before he came, he was actually worried that Manager Tong would disown him.

Now it seems that he was worrying too much.

After a meeting, everyone is satisfied.

Tong Xuelu still took Guo Weiping to go shopping today, and said that starting from today, she would take turns to come, and tomorrow Xiaotian would go with her.

When Oda heard this, his face turned red with excitement.

Oda is Master Lei's new apprentice. Seeing that Manager Tong values ​​his apprentice, Master Lei also feels very useful.

After walking out of the restaurant, Tong Xuelu sighed inwardly.

Master Duan Shui is not easy to do, but rather than intrigue, she still hopes that the people in the restaurant will be more harmonious.

At this time, the Sun family in the northwest was very discordant.

After the matter of the Sun family's dispatch back to Beijing came to an end, Sun Wuyang and Sun Manrou were scolded bloody, and within two days they were notified to move out of the military compound.

Sun Manrou thought about going to find Wen Rugui again, but Wen Rugui had already gone back to the base, and Mr. Wen asked Uncle Zong to drive her out directly.

Sun Manrou was desperate, so she could only follow Sun Wuyang back to the northwest.

Back in the northwest, as soon as the two stepped into the house, two slaps were thrown on their faces respectively.

Grandfather was furious and said, You two idiots, do you know what stupid things you have done?

How can they destroy other people's feelings, slander the reputation of lesbians, and encourage others to do illegal things together?

Who do they think they are?

In that place in Beijing, just a single spittle can spit out someone with an extremely powerful background. Why do they think they can cover the sky with one hand?

These years, they have finally taken advantage of Commander Xiao's relationship to work hard to climb up, but they didn't expect these two idiots to destroy everything with a single move!

Commander Xiao has already called the Sun family, saying that he will no longer recognize Sun Manrou as his goddaughter, and that the Xiao and Sun families will no longer communicate with each other in the future.

He was so angry that he almost had a heart attack!

Their Sun family had no connections and no background, and they used tricks to climb up just such a thigh, and now they have nothing!

Sun Wuyang was slapped, and he lowered his head and did not speak.

When he was in Beijing, he had already started to regret it. Why did he become obsessed when he saw Sun Manrou crying?

But he did it, he was stupid, he admitted.

What chilled him the most was Sun Manrou's attitude. From now on, he would treat Sun Manrou as a younger sister!

Sun Manrou covered her burning face, panicking in her heart: Uncle, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have listened softly to the third brother, I should have persuaded the third brother...

Sun Wuyang sneered: Sun Manrou, fart your mother, if you say such a word again, you will get out of my house!

Sun Manrou stared at him with wide eyes in disbelief: Third Brother, how could you say such a thing? Didn't you say that I am your own sister? How could you drive your own sister out?

Sun Wuyang didn't bother to talk to her.

Grandpa became angry when he saw these two idiots: It's useless for you two to stay with us. No unit dares to accept you now. I've thought about it. You should go to the countryside and become educated youths!

Go to the countryside to be an educated youth?

Sun Manrou was struck by lightning: Uncle, my health is not good, and I will definitely not be able to survive if I go to the countryside.

If you don't want to go, then you can move to live with your mother!

Grandfather used to love this niece very much, but how much he loved him before, now he looks so upset when he sees her, he is a white-eyed wolf.

After speaking, grandpa turned and left.

Sun Manrou's mother remarried long ago and gave birth to two sons. She never wanted Sun Manrou as a daughter from the beginning.

Sun Manrou's chest heaved violently, she rolled her eyes and passed out.

**

Tong Xuelu stopped paying attention to the Sun family's affairs, and a week later, their new restaurant was about to open.

Second- and third-level hotels are collectively called state-run hotels, and only first-level hotels are eligible to be named.

Tong Xuelu handed over the right to choose the name to Minister Lin, and Minister Lin grinned so happily that she was so good at being a human being.

Minister Lin thought about it for a few days, and with a stroke of his pen, he named the new restaurant—Dongfeng Hotel.

Tong Xuelu is also quite satisfied with this name.

The sun was shining brightly on this day, and it was the first day that Dongfeng Hotel opened for business.

Because firecrackers cannot be set off these days, we can only borrow a gong from someone for the opening, and knock on the door a few times as a celebration.

Fortunately, since last week, Tong Xuelu asked the hotel staff to tell the guests about moving the hotel. The distance between the two restaurants is not far, so at noon, many regular guests came to the door.

Except for the old guests, the Wei family and the Su family brought their families to join them.

Su Yueshen: Comrade Chairman said that the past is the end of the day, count the romantic figures, and look at the present. Manager Tong is the heroine of the present and a model for young people to learn from!

Tong Xuelu said with a smile: Deputy Director Su really praised me so much that I blushed. Speaking of the role model for learning today, of course it must belong to you, Deputy Director Su!

Su Yueshen became the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee at a young age. With his ability, he will definitely have a bright future in the future.

There were people around who knew Su Yueshen, their eyes widened in shock when they saw this scene.

No wonder Tong Xuelu was able to become the manager of a first-class hotel at such a young age. Look at this network, it is beyond reach!

Xiaojiu on the side held Tong Mianmian's hand, and said in a childlike voice, Sister Mianmian, why didn't you come to play with me before? I've been waiting for you at home, I miss you so much!

Tong Mianmian sighed as a grown-up: My second brother had acne before, and my sister won't let us go out to play.

Seeing how pitiful she was, Xiao Jiu leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.

Tong Xuelu saw it, and hurried over to pull the two of them apart: Xiao Jiu, although you two are young, men and women can't kiss each other, so you can't kiss like this outside.

Playing hooligans at a young age is not a habit.

Xiao Jiu blinked her eyes and looked confused: But my father kisses my mother like this at home, why can't I?

There was a boom.

When Su Yue, who came over, heard this, his face turned red like a cooked shrimp.

Gu Yilan's cheeks seemed to be dyed with rouge, and she was too ashamed to see anyone.

Tong Xuelu couldn't laugh or cry: That's different, your parents are husband and wife, they are married, you and Mianmian are good friends, so you can't do this in the future, understand?

Okay, I see. Xiao Jiu thought for a while and nodded obediently, then said, Then I will be husband and wife with Mian Mian in the future, can I do this?

Tong Xuelu: ...

The little guy wants to marry a wife before his hair grows, he thinks too much!

Tong Mianmian didn't know that she was being taken advantage of just now, but after hearing what her sister said now, she vaguely understood that she seemed to be at a disadvantage.

So she walked up on her short legs and said, Xiao Jiu, you can't kiss me. You kissed me just now, so I want to kiss you back.

Then she leaned over and kissed Xiao Jiu on the cheek as well.

Tong Xuelu: ...

Come on, she was teaching for nothing.

Seeing this, the Su family, Wei family and others couldn't help laughing.

Fortunately, the two children are very young, and no one takes it seriously.

The new restaurant opened, and the business was booming, but unfortunately Wen Rugui couldn't get a leave of absence to come back.

The two can only understand lovesickness by phone.

Since moving to the new hotel, the workload has increased a lot.

Purchasing things and managing personnel every day, the translator will come back to visit relatives next month, and she has to make preparations for hospitality.

Fortunately, hard work pays off, and her salary has risen from 50 yuan a month to 70 yuan a month.

In addition, she also takes care of the position of the third master chef in the restaurant, and the monthly salary adds up to a total of one hundred yuan.

In these years, a salary of one hundred yuan is equivalent to a gold collar, and now her salary alone can support the brothers and sisters of Tong's family.

Tong Xuelu was very busy here, and Wen Rugui was also very busy.

There are many things in the experimental base, he was so busy that Huang Qimin got married and couldn't return to Beijing to participate.

It was the same with Zhou Yan, neither of them went to Huang Qimin's wedding banquet, so they had to give him the congratulatory gift in advance.

Although Huang Qimin felt a little regretful, when he thought that he would soon be able to hug his wife and be happy, he immediately forgot about his two brothers.

There are four joys in life: sweet rains after a long drought, old acquaintances in a foreign land, wedding night in the bridal chamber, and when you get a title on the gold list.

Huang Qimin was opened up to a new world on the wedding night in the bridal chamber.

He felt the unique joy, directly from a little chick to a big yellow chicken.

The five-day holiday for the wedding, during these five days, Huang Qimin is as happy as the gods.

Five days later, he returned to the base, looking at Wen Rugui and Zhou Yan as if looking at two ignorant children.

He gave the two of them the wedding candy he brought from home: Here, here is the wedding candy for the two of you, for you to dip into my happiness.

As he said this, his neck stretched out like a goose, and his posture looked very strange.

Because it was so strange, both Wen Rugui and Zhou Yan couldn't see the red spots on his neck.

Wen Rugui frowned and said, What's wrong with your neck? Could it be a rash due to allergies?

Zhou Yan was even more exaggerated, and took two steps back: Yellow dog, you must have chickenpox, right? If you have chickenpox, you should tell us as soon as possible, that thing is very powerful!

...

Huang Qimin cursed in his heart.

Shit rash chickenpox!

The erythema on his neck is the mark left when he was having fun with his wife, okay?

Two ignorant and poor fellows!
