Chapter 69 Sixty-nine cups of green tea
Tong Xuelu took the notebook the next day to interview Master Wu and Manager Zhou of Caizhan.
Master Wu attached great importance to this interview. He usually wears sloppy clothes and does not care if his clothes are often stained with pig blood.
But today he deliberately put on a set of clothes that he would only wear in the New Year. His hair was shiny and slippery. He went to the supply and marketing agency and waited for Tong Xuelu early in the morning.
As soon as Tong Xuelu arrived, he changed from his previous arrogant appearance, poured water for her personally, and took out the snacks he had brought over.
Too diligent.
Master Wu nervously pulled his clothes: “Manager Tong, do you think I’m okay today?”
Tong Xuelu almost didn’t smile: “Master Wu will catch up with someone as the groom’s official like this. There is not much time. Let’s start the interview now.”
When he heard the words interview, Master Wu’s face was grave, and he suddenly became more serious and nervous.
Tong Xuelu asked a few pre-arranged questions. Actually, she didn’t need to ask them. Once Master Wu spoke, he didn’t want to stop.
He started to learn **** pigs and how to become a master meat seller in supply and marketing cooperatives through various selections, all kinds of hardships, grievances and inspirations.
The hearer was sad and the listener shed tears.
Master Wu moved herself so that her eyes were flushed. To show his admiration, Tong Xuelu also suppressed her eyes.
Finally, after two hours, Master Wu stopped his speech.
Tong Xuelu closed the book and said, “That’s all for today’s interview. I will post it in our hotel when I look back and wait for the materials to be sorted out.”
Master Wu still has some ideas: “Is this enough information? Do you want me to say more?”
Tong Xuelu shook his head: “Enough, if there is anything you don’t understand, I will come over and ask Master Wu again at that time.”
Master Wu looked regretful: “Well, if you don’t understand, you must ask me, Manager Tong!”
Tong Xuelu nodded and stood up, and at the same time took away a piece of pork that Master Wu gave her.
Then she went to the food station to do an interview.
After coming back, she sorted and polished the information into articles, making sure to make the people who read the story burst into tears.
Then she went to the bookstore to buy some rice paper, then went to the department store to cut a piece of red cloth back.
Then, let Tong Jiaming help copy the article on rice paper. Tong Jiaming’s writing is more upright and beautiful than her, so she won’t be ugly.
In addition to Fang Jingyuan’s arrival the next day, Pu Jianyi also brought a group of colleagues from the Public Security Bureau to join in.
On the third day, Shen Wanrong brought a few children over to the restaurant to eat, and Jiang Danhong also came over.
Everyone is full of praise for the delicacy of Mala Tang.
The people around saw that more and more people came into the restaurant to eat, all of them touched their stomachs, and there was no trace of poisoning, and gradually they became more vigilant.
In the following day or two, several guests came to the house, all for the purpose of tasting Mala Tang.
The real change happened after Tong Xuelu made the interview report into a newspaper and posted it in the hotel.
She pulled up a red banner in the hotel, on which the three characters “Hall of Fame” were written on square white paper.
There are two rice papers full of glorious stories posted below, and the guests immediately saw this as soon as they came in.
“What’s that? Hall of Fame?”
“Isn’t this the master martial artist who sells meat in the supply and marketing cooperative? How did he get into the Hall of Fame?”
“And the manager of this food station, Zhou, he is the neighbor of my cousin’s nephew, I know him quite well, he is actually on the honor list!”
“What’s the use of this Hall of Fame?”
Someone boldly asked the waiter at the restaurant, Meng Qingqing and Guo Chunyu told everyone what Tong Xuelu had trained them.
“The Honor Roll, it must be a list that can only be entered by people who are advanced enough and great enough, such as Master Wu from the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and Manager Zhou from the Caizhan, they are all very advanced workers.”
“They selflessly dedicated their lives to the country and the cause of socialism. Their spirit of hard work and sacrifice is very worthy of everyone’s learning. Therefore, after interviews, our hotel wrote their stories as articles and posted them here, in the hope that More people know their stories, let their stories inspire more people!”
Everyone was moved by these words.
At the same time thinking in my heart, can they also be on this honor list?
Some people hurried home after eating and told acquaintances to come and see.
Although it was only registered on the wall of the hotel, not in the newspaper, it was the Hall of Fame, what a glorious thing!
Master Wu and Manager Zhou even brought their colleagues and relatives to the house for dinner as soon as they arrived.
They are on the Hall of Fame. How can such a glorious thing be hidden? It must be publicized!
After hearing the news, many people want to go to the restaurant to see what’s going on. Since I’m here, is it embarrassing not to have a meal?
So gradually, the door of the hotel changed from a door to a beautiful city.
The restaurant has never been so lively before.
It’s not enough to tire the restaurant and the people, but everyone is very tired and happy.
The restaurant has finally resumed operations, so that there is no need to worry about unemployment.
**
Su Yueshen took Xiao Jiu home from Gu’s house, but he did not propose to take Gu Yilan back, let alone remarry.
Two days a day is okay, more than a week has passed, and there is still no movement from the Su family.
The Gu family couldn’t help but panic.
Gu’s mother: “Yilan, did Yue Shen say when to remarry with you?”
Gu Yilan’s face was a little haggard: “He said that in a while.”
Mother Gu frowned: “When will it be in a while? Didn’t you ask him?”
Gu Yilan shook his head.
Seeing her confused, Gu’s mother became angry: “Why don’t you ask about such an important thing? Yeoshen hasn’t been here for several days, so what is he up to lately?”
Brother Gu: “Brother-in-law will return to work in the government soon. He probably won’t have time to come here recently.”
The old man Su was the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee before the accident, and now he retires, just in time for Su Yueshen to take the post.
Su Yueshen had the abilities in the first place. If it weren’t for that thing, maybe he would have become the deputy director. Now it’s several years late, and his methods seem to be even more powerful.
Brother Gu remembered that when he came back that day, he resolutely sent Sister Fang to the Public Security Bureau, and sent Lai Muqing away, and he couldn’t help but feel a little frustrated.
Mother Gu: “Since Yueshen has no time to come over, then you should come here. Yueshen is getting better and better now, you have to watch it more closely!”
Gu Yilan’s brows furrowed even tighter: “Ke Yueshen told me not to come, saying that the two of us have not remarried yet and it is not good to be seen.”
Hearing this, Gu’s mother’s face changed drastically.
What do you mean by son-in-law?
The daughter is Xiao Jiu’s mother. What impact will she have if she comes home?
Unless…unless he never thought of remarrying!
Seeing her daughter’s pale face, Gu’s mother did not dare to tell her her conjecture.
Looking back, she bought some dim sum and went to Su’s family. Using the excuse of visiting her grandson, she tested the Su family’s tone.
Unexpectedly, Su Jiagu left his words, his eyes flickered, and he didn’t give him the right words.
After returning to Gu’s house, Gu’s mother lay down.
Son-in-law, this is a change of heart, he doesn’t want to remarry!
After the Gu family knew it, they were more shocked and more at a loss than knowing that Lai Muqing had sold Xiao Jiu.
But Su Yueshen couldn’t be contacted, so the family panicked like ants on a hot pot.
That anxiety.
**
The restaurant’s business is getting better and better. People who were not optimistic about Tong Xuelu, now they are surprised to see that the restaurant’s business has become so good.
It hasn’t been a month yet, and the restaurant’s business has picked up, and it’s operating better than before.
Think about the words I said before, really slap my face.
Some people feel unconvinced and ask relatives to sneak up to the restaurant to steal the teacher, and then they also set up a Hall of Fame and Mala Tang in their own shop.
But the stories they wrote on the Hall of Fame are not as vivid as those written by Tong Xuelu, and Tong Xuelu’s Hall of Fame has already become famous.
They are just following them now, it’s a bit of an imitation, and few people are paying attention at all.
As for the Mala Tang they make, it seems to be the same thing, but it seems to taste a little bit less flavorful, in short, it is not delicious enough.
For the same money, everyone must go to a delicious restaurant.
Besides, the state-owned restaurant in the south of the city is so popular, everyone can join in the fun there.
Just like the red dots of future generations, the more people get more popular.
Human beings have this nature of conformity and love to join in the fun.
The Tong’s house over there knew about the restaurant’s fire.
This day, Cai Chunlan came back from her family’s home and brought back a message: Tong Xuelu now not only takes care of the position of the master in the hotel, but also has been appointed as the manager of the hotel.
An eighteen-year-old manager, and still a woman.
This is truly unprecedented!
After learning the news, the Tong family felt a little regret while shocked.
If you had a good relationship before, and if Tong Xuelu hadn’t been killed in several accidents, wouldn’t it be possible to go to the restaurant to have a meal now?
Besides, there is a sister/daughter who is a manager. It is also very honorable to talk about it.
At least he has more face than Tong Zhen on the farm.
Cai Chunlan said spittingly: “I heard that because of something wrong with that restaurant before, there was no one who came to eat. Tong Xuelu used the Hall of Fame and Mala Tang to make the restaurant famous all at once!”
“I heard that when I go to a restaurant to eat, I have to queue up with my number. Many people have waited for a few days and haven’t been able to eat Mala Tang. I don’t know what the taste of that thing is…”
Mother Tong’s face was as black as smelly water ditch: “Eat before you eat, why do you talk so much? If you don’t want to eat, just go down!”
Cai Chunlan: “…”
Tong’s mother also regretted faintly in her heart, but it was impossible for her to pull her face down to find Tong Xuelu!
That night, Tong Xuelu had just returned home from get off work, and before she sat down, there was a knock on the door outside.
Tong Jiaxin ran out to open the door, and came back with a series of people behind him.
Walking in the front is Su Yueshen, who is holding Xiao Jiu: “Comrade Tong, I’m sorry to disturb you so late.”
Seeing Su Yueshen, Tong Xuelu quickly stood up: “Hello, Comrade Su.”
Xiao Jiu Chao Tong Xuelu stretched out his hands: “Sister, Xiao Jiu misses you so much!”
Tong Xuelu hurriedly reached out and hugged him: “Is Xiao Jiu coming here because I missed my sister?”
Xiao Jiu nodded again and again: “I still want to miss sister Mianmian.”
“Mianmian fell asleep, and may not be able to get up to see you.”
Tong Xuelu couldn’t help but laugh when he heard the words. He was still called Sister Mianmian. In fact, he was one year older than Mianmian, four and a half years old this year.
Xiao Jiu frowned and stretched out a finger: “Then can I get up and look at her? Just take a look.”
Tong Xuelu rubbed his head: “Yes.”
Xiao Jiu’s eyes lit up suddenly, and he stepped off her body without having to carry anyone, kicking her short legs and going to the room.
Su Yueshen saw this, and the light in his eyes became deeper and deeper.
Before, he wondered how Xiao Jiu stayed so well at Tong’s house, not noisy or noisy, and often talked about Tong’s house after returning.
He understands somewhat now.
Although the Tong family’s parents died early, there are only a few children in the family, but the boss, Tong Xuelu, has educated several younger siblings very well.
Xiao Jiu is more at ease in Tong’s family than in Gu’s family, on the contrary, Gu’s education is a mess.
Xiao Jiu is four years old this year, but he doesn’t even know his family and his own name. Once he is lost, he can’t even find his home.
It made him very annoyed when he thought of it.
At this moment, the people behind also followed in.
Su Yueshen hurriedly introduced: “This is my father and mother. This is my second brother. You saved Xiao Jiu a lot before. We always wanted to visit in person, but because we just returned to Beijing, we have to deal with many things. Therefore, it has been delayed until now. Please forgive me, Comrade Tong.”
Tong Xuelu said hello to the two elderly people.
Su Mu pulled Tong Xuelu very excited: “Comrade Tong, thanks to you this time, if it weren’t for you, we would never see Xiao Jiu again!”
Now that I think about it, I feel scared.
She really didn’t expect the human heart to be so terrible. Lai Muqing grew up in Gu’s family. She didn’t know how to be grateful, but she actually repaid her gratitude!
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, “This is what I should do.”
Father Su: “It shouldn’t or shouldn’t. If you change the individual, you may not be able to find something wrong with the situation at the time. You are Xiao Jiu’s noble person. Thank you!”
Father Su bowed to Tong Xuelu as he said, and then asked the second son to bring up the things he had brought.
Tong Xuelu saw what they brought, besides malted milk extract and snack toffee, there was also a TV!
An 18-inch color TV now costs 1,450 yuan, and a 20-inch TV costs 1,650 yuan.
This Su family is too rich, right?
It has just been rehabilitated, and it is possible to afford such an expensive TV set. Tickets for key TV sets are not easy to get.
It seemed that the Su family was more capable than she had imagined.
Tong Xuelu hurriedly waved his hand: “You can bring this TV set back, it is too expensive, we can’t collect it!”
Father Su: “Comrade Tong, you are welcome, this thing is nothing compared to Xiao Jiu.”
The second son is still not married. If their family is not rehabilitated, Xiao Jiu will be the only descendant of the Su family. If there is anything wrong with Xiao Jiu, the Su family will be cut off.
Tong Xuelu made a serious look: “Grandpa Su, I really can’t receive this TV set. You have already made me a hotel manager. If I accept this TV set again, then I will be too greedy!”
“Furthermore, the situation at the time was that anyone would stretch out his hand if something was wrong, so please take the TV back!”
Such a powerful person, of course, can’t leave an impression of insatiable greed on the other side.
Besides, she will be able to afford a TV in the future, but such a relationship and relationship can’t be broken anyway.
The Su family saw that Tong Xuelu really didn’t want to accept it, so she stopped persuading her, but the impression of her in her heart got better.
The Su family stayed at Tong’s house for half an hour before leaving.
When he left, Tong Xuelu was curious.
I didn’t see Xiao Jiu’s mother last time, so why didn’t the other party come over this time?
Is there any secret in this?
After the Su family left, Tong Jiaxin looked regretful and said: “Sister, why did you reject the TV just now?”
That’s a color TV set!
If he accepts a TV, then he will be the first person in the school to have a TV. This bull is enough for him to play for a year!
Tong Xuelu glanced at him: “Don’t have so shallow eyelids. If you want a TV, you can make money to buy it in the future. Don’t rely on others for everything!”
Tong Jiaxin was so embarrassed that he dared not speak any more.
**
It rained suddenly in the middle of the night, one autumn rain and one cold.
When I got up in the morning, it seemed as if it was wintering outside.
Tong Xuelu was about to get up to cook, but she turned her head but felt something was wrong, Tong Mianmian’s face was red.
She hurriedly reached out and peeked over her head.
So hot!
Xiao Tuanzi has a high fever!
Tong Xuelu quickly got up and put on clothes, and then woke up Tong Jiaming.
Then give him the key to the hotel and ask him to help him go to the hotel to open the door.
When Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin saw their sister had a high fever, they both became nervous.
Tong Jiaxin: “Sister, I’m not going to school anymore, I’ll go to the hospital with you!”
Tong Xuelu thought for a while and nodded: “All right, Jiaming will go back to school and ask for a leave. Let’s go now.”
When I go to the hospital later, she is going to pay for things like that, so someone really needs someone to look at Tong Mianmian.
Tong Xuelu put on clothes for Tong Mianmian, and then took out a thick cotton-padded jacket to wrap her around her.
Since Jiaxin Tong wants to follow, riding a bicycle is the fastest in the past.
When Tong Jiaxin saw that she was going to ride a bicycle, her eyes widened: “Sister, can you ride?”
Tong Xuelu said without embarrassment: “There is no such thing as your sister in this world!”
Tong Jiaxin: “…”
Tong Xuelu pushed the bicycle out, and Tong Jiaxin sat up, and rushed out as soon as she stared at the bicycle with her foot.
She had practiced several times before, but Tong Jiaxin and the others hadn’t seen it.
She hurried to the hospital, and the doctor told her after the examination that Tong Mianmian had a high fever of 39°, and if she continued to burn, her brain might be damaged.
Tong Xuelu feels very guilty. She sleeps too well and rarely gets up at night.
When Tong Mianmian was fired like this, she should have had a fever in the middle of the night last night, but she didn’t notice it at all.
It was too careless.
The doctor was about to give Tong Mianmian a fever-reducing injection, and Xiao Tuanzi was so frightened that Hei Grape’s big eyes filled with tears.
Tong Xuelu hurriedly comforted her: “Mianmian is good, it will be well soon after a prick, Mianmian must be strong.”
Xiao Tuanzi’s big eyes flickered, her eyelashes condensed with tears that hadn’t dried: “Sister, what is strong? Is it edible?”
Tong Xuelu thinks she is pitiful and cute: “Strong is brave, which means you are not afraid of injections.”
Tong Mianmian flattened his mouth: “Sister, Mianmian is not strong, Mianmian is afraid of injections.”
Tong Xuelu had to hug her and promised to turn around and give her a good meal, which made Xiao Tuanzi say that he could be a little stronger.
Just a little bit.
It was indeed a little bit, because as soon as the needle went down, she cried into tears.
Stay in the hospital for observation after the fever-reducing injection.
Tong Xuelu went to pay the money and came back, and saw Tong Jiaming also coming.
“Sister, how is Mianmian? Does she still have a fever?”
Tong Xuelu: “I just received the antipyretic injection, did you go to the restaurant to open the door?”
Tong Jiaming nodded: “Go, but sister, you are now the manager of a state-owned hotel. Is it okay if you don’t go to work?”
Tong Xuelu: “It’s okay, I’ll go there later.”
The two went to the ward together as they said.
As soon as they left, a figure sneaked out from the corner.
Uncle Zong flushed with excitement. It turned out that the young grass girl was working as a manager in a state-run hotel!
Uncle Zong left the hospital and ran all the way back to the military compound.
Commander, there is important information about the tender grass!
