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

Chapter 88 Eighty-eight cups of green tea

Those eyes were as deep as a deep pool, without bottom.

The owner of the eyes has handsome features, a tall figure, and straight and slender legs. If it weren’t for the gentle jewels in front of him, he was indeed a very handsome man.

Minister Gao of the Municipal Foreign Affairs Office greeted him, his voice trembling in the wind: “Hello, Comrade Xie, I am Minister Gao of the Municipal Foreign Affairs Office, but I am finally looking forward to you!”

Xie Chengzhou’s hand was held tightly: “Hello Minister Gao, hello, let so many of you come to pick us up, I’m really sorry in my heart!”

Minister Gao nodded: “Comrade Xie, you must not be polite. You have been away from the motherland for almost 30 years. It is rare to come back to visit relatives. We will definitely entertain you!”

The Chinese Translation Service of the United Nations recruited Chinese translators in 1947. Only four people were admitted that year. Xie Chengzhou was one of them.

Back then, Xie Chengzhou took his wife and children to New York, and it has been almost 30 years since he returned to his motherland.

When Xie Chengzhou heard this, his eyes and nose felt sore.

It’s not easy for people to live in another country, and it’s even more difficult for people to live in another country!

At the beginning of the founding of the country, the country was obstructed by many parties in the United States, and it was impossible to regain its seat in the United Nations for more than two decades. It was not until October 1971 that it won the final victory in the 26th United Nations General Assembly.

This smoke-free war lasted for so many years, and finally came to a perfect end.

However, after the country has obtained the legal rights, these translators still have no way to return to the country. It was not until this year that the time was ripe.

He stepped back on this land of birth and nurturing himself, and his inner surging and excitement could not be expressed by words.

When everyone saw Xie Chengzhou’s red eyes, they couldn’t help being moved. One or two lesbians wiped their eyes.

Seeing this, the young man standing behind Xie Chengzhou took out a neatly folded square kerchief from his pocket and handed it over: “Dad, wipe away your tears. It’s embarrassing to cry at such a big size.”

Xie Chengzhou turned around and glared at his son, then turned around and introduced to everyone: “This is my youngest son Xie…you just call him Xiao Xie.”

The wind was a bit strong, and Tong Xuelu stood behind and did not hear the other party clearly.

The young man called Xiao Xie nodded and greeted everyone. Although there is no barrier to communication, his tone of voice is like that of the United States.

However, according to his age, he should be a Chinese who was born and raised in the United States, and it is normal for him to have an accent.

Minister Gao said: “It’s windy outside, let’s get in the car and go to the hotel and restaurant first, and then we will talk slowly when we get in the car!”

Naturally, Xie Chengzhou couldn’t help but was hugged by a group of people and got into the car.

Even Minister Lin couldn’t speak on this occasion, and Tong Xuelu naturally did not have the opportunity to speak.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if you bring her over this trip, except for the cold wind that blew for more than an hour, she couldn’t say a word.

Just came a lonely 🙂

Tong Xuelu followed at the back, she consciously wanted to sit in the car behind, who knew she was stopped by Minister Gao just as soon as she stepped on it.

“That lesbian, come and sit in this car.”

Tong Xuelu glanced left and right, and she was the only lesbian. It seemed that Minister Gao called her.

She had to walk forward and smile stiffly in the wind and said: “Hello, Minister Gao, I’m Tong Xuelu, the manager of Dongfeng Hotel.”

Minister Gao looked at her after hearing this: “It turns out that you are Manager Tong. You are really not good-looking. I thought you were a secretary. I didn’t expect you to be so young!”

Minister Gao said, stuffing a thermos bottle into her arms, and exhorted: “You hold this thermos bottle. Be careful not to break the inner pot.”

Tong Xuelu: “…”

Dare to love that she is a tool man?

After Minister Gao plugged the thermos bottle to her, he sat in the back seat, and Tong Xuelu had to accept his order to hold the thermos bottle and sit in the co-pilot’s seat.

Minister Gao smiled and introduced the scenery and architecture of Beijing to Xie Chengzhou.

New China had not yet been established when Xie Chengzhou left the motherland, and the post-war country was awaiting prosperity, which was very different from what it is now.

He looked at the scenery outside the window greedily, tears in his eyes.

This introduction lasted more than half an hour, and Minister Gao said that his saliva was almost dry: “Comrade Xie, would you like to drink some water?”

Xie Chengzhou turned around and shook his head and said, “No, I drank water on the plane, and I am not thirsty yet.”

Comrade Xiao Xie also said no.

Minister Gao saw that they didn’t drink it. It was a bit embarrassing to drink it alone, and it was not convenient to pour water in the car.

It’s just that his mouth was tired at the moment, and suddenly his eyes caught the back of Tong Xuelu’s head, and he decided to “disaster” Dongyin.

“Don’t think of the comrade Tong in front of her because of her young age and chubby clothes. In fact, she is the manager and chef of Dongfeng Hotel. She won the first place in the twelve first-class restaurant competition not long ago. I heard that The food she cooks is delicious, and it is up to her to prepare your meals during this time!”

Tong Xuelu: “…” Just praise me, it doesn’t need to be said that I wear chubby clothes.

When Xie Chengzhou and his son heard Minister Gao’s introduction, their attention suddenly fell on Tong Xuelu.

Xie Chengzhou: “Since ancient times, a hero has been born as a young boy. Comrade Tong has done such a thing at a young age. It is really admirable. Our country has such talents, and the future can be expected!”

Tong Xuelu smiled and said: “Comrade Xie praised, but I am very in favor of Comrade Xie’s subsequent sentence. Our country is indeed promising. In the near future, our country will surely become a superpower that attracts the attention of the whole world. Great country!”

They were all descendants of China, and the words of Tong Xuelu moved everyone present.

Who is not expecting the motherland’s mother to get better and better and stronger?

Only by becoming stronger, the country will not be beaten!

“Comrade Tong said this very well. In the near future, our country will surely become a superpower!” Xie Chengzhou looked at her appreciatively.

“By the way, Minister Gao just said that Comrade Tong is still a cook. I don’t know where Comrade Tong will cook?”

Tong Xuelu asked, “Which food does Comrade Xie want to eat?”

Xie Chengzhou said, “I wonder if Comrade Tong will cook Yangzhou fried rice?”

Yangzhou fried rice?

Didn’t you say that Xie Chengzhou was from Beijing?

Before Tong Xuelu could speak, Minister Gao said: “Yes, Comrade Tong, she can cook any dishes!”

Tong Xuelu: “…” Minister Gao, please shut up.

But she really knows Yangzhou fried rice.

“I happen to be able to make Yangzhou fried rice, but Comrade Xie is not from Beijing? Why do I suddenly want to eat Yangzhou fried rice?”

Xie Chengzhou’s voice was slightly choked: “My mother is from Yangzhou. When she was still alive, she liked to cook Yangzhou fried rice for my brothers and sisters. Later, when I went abroad, she stayed in China, and I never had the Yangzhou fried rice made by her old man. ”

His mother died of illness in the tenth year of his departure from the country, when he was on the other side of the Atlantic, and there was no way to return.

This separation was twenty-nine years. He was an unfilial son, and he couldn’t even return after his mother died.

Xie Chengzhou took off his glasses and wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

Xiao Xie patted his dad on the shoulder to express comfort.

The atmosphere in the car suddenly became a bit heavy.

The car drove to the Jinchun Hotel first, and asked Xie Chengzhou and his son to put the things in the hotel.

During this period, Tong Xuelu got in another car and returned to the Dongfeng Hotel to pick up condiments and ingredients and come over to the hotel to cook.

Because the other party is an important person, Minister Lin said that he wanted to make them feel at home and couldn’t let them go to the restaurant to eat, so he asked her to come over to the hotel to cook for them.

Tong Xuelu’s status of this level naturally has no right to say no.

Anyway, there is a car coming and going to pick her up, so she assumes that she is cooking in a different place.

When Tong Xuelu was in the car, he inquired about the tastes of Xie Chengzhou and his son.

After thinking about it, she plans to make a Yangzhou fried rice, a stewed short ribs, a garlic stir-fried cabbage, and a tomato and egg soup.

Listening to Xie Chengzhou’s meaning, he missed his mother’s home-cooked dishes even more.

So three of the four dishes were prepared for him, and the remaining stewed short rib was to take care of Comrade Xiao Xie’s overseas Chinese stomach.

In addition to rice, the ingredients used in Yangzhou fried rice include eggs, green beans, carrots, shrimps and corn kernels.

Tong Xuelu fry the ingredients separately, and then use the method of scrambled egg fried rice to fry the rice until it becomes golden and loose, as if wrapped in gold.

Then add the other ingredients and stir evenly, and the two plates of Yangzhou fried rice with full color, glutinous and smooth, are ready.

Then she made stir-fried cabbage with garlic and tomato and egg soup. When these two are done, the steak ribs will be stewed.

The steak ribs were stewed crisply, and when they were picked up with chopsticks, the meat of the steak ribs was trembling, the fat flesh was crystal clear, and the charming fragrance instantly filled the entire kitchen.

At this moment, two “wiping” sounds came from behind him.

When Tong Xuelu turned her head, she saw Comrade Xiao Xie photographing her with a camera.

Xiao Xie saw that she found herself, and a bright smile appeared on her handsome face: “Comrade Tong, you are very focused and beautiful in cooking!”

In fact, he has been here for a long time, but this Comrade Tong focused on the food and did not notice him at all.

When I was in the car before, I saw her wearing a thick padded jacket. The whole person was wrapped like a ball, and she was gray. I didn’t want such a graceful figure wrapped under the padded jacket.

It was also when he was just taking pictures that he noticed that her face was very delicate and beautiful, which was especially suitable as a model for taking pictures.

Tong Xuelu glanced at him and said: “You have violated my portrait right like this, so forget it this time, let’s not take it as an example!”

When Xiao Xie heard this, he raised his eyebrows: “Comrade Tong is really special, completely different from others.”

Just now he took the camera to take pictures everywhere, and other people were curious and scared seeing his camera, but after he explained that he wanted to take pictures of them, they all became very excited.

Only she was very calm, and in turn told him that she had violated her right to portrait!

Xiao Xie apologized: “Comrade Tong, I apologize to you, not as an example!”

Tong Xuelu nodded and scooped the steak ribs onto the plate.

Xiao Xie smelled the attractive scent, and there was a rumbling noise in his stomach.

He walked over and took a look, and he couldn’t help blowing a whistle: “Comrade Tong deserves to be the first chef in culinary skills. Your dishes are really delicious!”

“you flatter me.”

Xiao Xie said: “By the way, what is Comrade Tong’s name? My name is Xie…”

When Xiao Xie said his name, there was a sharp voice outside, not sure what it was.

Tong Xuelu frowned and said, “My name is Tong Xuelu, Tong in the winter alone, snow in snow, green in green, what do you mean by your name, I didn’t hear clearly just now.”

“Wow, Comrade Tong’s name is really nice. Green happens to be my favorite color. Green represents hope. I still have a green hat!”

Tong Xuelu: “…” Young man, are you serious?

After Xiao Xie finished speaking, he thought that his accent was not clear, so he took out a pen and a piece of paper from his pocket and wrote his name on it.

Tong Xuelu turned her head to look, and the corners of her mouth twitched fiercely: “Comrade Xiao Xie should have an English name, right?”

Xiao Xie said: “Yes, my English name is jason, translated into Chinese is Jason.”

Tong Xuelu: “Let me call you Comrade Xiao Xie.”

Jason shrugged indifferently: “Both Chinese and English names are fine.”

Tong Xuelu was noncommittal and asked Guo Weiping to take out the food together.

When Xie Cheng went downstairs on Monday, he smelled an overbearing and familiar scent, which made him excited again.

When he sat down and couldn’t wait to take a sip of Yangzhou fried rice, his eyes became moist again: “This taste…is exactly the same as my mother made it back then. It’s been 29 years, and I haven’t had this taste for 29 years. Up!”

How much he dreamed of eating at midnight, he was thinking of his mother’s mouthful of Yangzhou fried rice.

He thought he would not be able to eat it in his life, and he didn’t want to return to the motherland on the first day, so he could taste the lingering taste of dreams, so how could he not get excited?

Xie Chengzhou went on to taste a few other side dishes and praised again: “Comrade Tong’s food is really delicious. It is worthy of being a manager of a restaurant at a young age!”

Jason has a soft spot for the steak ribs.

The fat meat is fat but not greasy, the lean meat is soft and glutinous, and when you bite it down, the rich soup fills your mouth. The deliciousness is simply amazing!

Both father and son were very satisfied with the meal.

After eating, Tong Xuelu packed up and returned to the hotel.

The person who accompanied the two fathers and sons of the Xie family was in charge of the city’s foreign affairs office. She only had to come over and cook for them before the evening.

This is the case for the next few days.

Because Xie Chengzhou was very satisfied with the food Tong Xuelu cooked, he praised her many times in front of Minister Gao and Minister Lin, and several leaders remembered Tong Xuelu’s name.

When the Spring Festival holiday came, she was rewarded.

In addition to the two enamel jars with the words “Women can hold up half the sky”, there was a bonus of 50 yuan.

Fifty yuan is equivalent to half of her salary, and Tong Xuelu is very satisfied with this reward.

**

The Spring Festival finally came in the hope of everyone.

The factories are on holiday and the restaurants are closed, but the streets are not deserted at all, and there are children frolicking everywhere.

The children are happiest during the New Year. Not only can they wear new clothes that they can’t usually wear, but they can also eat a lot of delicious food.

Commander Xiao returned to Beijing before the New Year’s Eve, and the New Year’s goods he bought were delivered to his home before then.

This is the first time for their family to celebrate the Spring Festival together, and it is also the first Spring Festival after Tong Xuelu wears a book.

Snow fluttering outside, the air became icy from the cold, but inside the house was full of joy.

How can there be less dumplings on days like New Year’s Eve?

At this time, Commander Xiao and Tong Jiaming’s grandchildren were making dumplings together.

The pig’s knuckles were still being stewed in the kitchen, and Tong Xuelu came to see how they were doing.

The result is that, except for Tong Jiaming who made dumplings and looked like a surprise, everyone else’s eyes were purely spicy.

Especially Commander Xiao, the level of making dumplings is comparable to that of Tong Mianmian.

Commander Xiao looked at Tong Xuelu and looked at himself, his old face blushed: “I haven’t done this before. I will practice again and it will be better soon.”

In previous New Years, he either stayed in the army or went to his brother’s house to celebrate the New Year together.

The younger brothers and nephews treated him well and welcomed him, but the warmer they were, the more lonely and lonely he felt.

So in the next few years, he used the excuse that the troops would not go through.

But now it’s different, he also has a family!

Tong Xuelu smiled and said, “It’s okay, anyway, you can eat it by yourself.”

As soon as these words came out, Commander Xiao and Jiaxin Tong became stiff together.

Tong Mianmian’s eyes widened, making it very funny.

Commander Xiao coughed: “By the way, is your partner coming over tomorrow?”

Thinking of Wen Rugui, Tong Xuelu’s mouth raised a smile: “Yes, he will come with Grandpa Wen tomorrow.”

She had been very busy during the period before the Chinese New Year. After Wen Rugui came back, they didn’t have time to get along. They often met in a hurry in a restaurant, and she hurried to another restaurant to cook.

Fortunately, now it’s a holiday, they can finally get together.

Commander Xiao felt that the boss was unhappy. Although he did not raise the cabbage of his granddaughter, he still felt that his own cabbage had been eaten by a pig when he looked at Wen Rugui.

But because he is a half-way grandfather, and Tong Xuelu is too assertive, he is not easy to raise objections.

I had to wait for the two grandparents of the Wen family to come over tomorrow.

The Wen family was also discussing this topic at this time.

Old man Wen: “Xiaozong, are everything ready for Tong’s house tomorrow?”

Uncle Zong nodded: “Everything is ready, the commander doesn’t need to worry.”

Old man Wen curled his lips: “What am I worried about? I am in a hurry to eat the food made by Xuelu. You made it so unpalatable!”

Uncle Zong: “…”

Wen Rugui did not say a word.

Thinking of seeing Tong Xuelu tomorrow, his heart seemed to be filled with something, and the lines of his face also softened.

Tong Xuelu personally cooks a table of good dishes, and the whole family eats dumplings with full stomachs.

After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Tong Xuelu also made some biscuits and red dates and walnuts, ready to entertain guests tomorrow.

Wen Rugui likes to eat red jujube walnut candy, so she makes a lot of it.

After making it, she took some out and gave it to the family.

Tong Jiaming and his sisters went to the Wei’s house next door, and only Commander Xiao was left in the hall.

Tong Xuelu walked in with biscuits and red dates and walnut candies: “Grandpa, I made this. Would you like to eat some?”

Commander Xiao glanced at it and shook his head: “No, I don’t like sweets.”

Tough guys never eat snacks.

Tong Xuelu put the plate on the table: “Then let Mianmian eat it.”

Commander Xiao nodded: “By the way, do you plan to enter the army? If you want, I can arrange for you to enter.”

Tong Xuelu thought for a while and shook his head: “I still like to cook.”

After the economic reform and opening up, she still wants to take the road of business, whether she is in the military or in politics, she is not interested in it.

Although Commander Xiao felt a little regretful when he heard this, he still expressed his understanding and respect.

Tong Xuelu talked a few words and then went back to the kitchen to make other snacks.

Only Commander Xiao was left in the living room.

He didn’t intend to eat those snacks, but the scent of biscuits and candies kept piercing his nose and he couldn’t help swallowing several mouthfuls.

He saw that there was no one outside, so he reached out and took a biscuit to eat.

The biscuits are crisp, squeaky in one bite, and full of fragrance when swallowed.

very nice.

I don’t know what the taste of jujube walnut candy is?

So he reached out and took another piece.

Jujube walnut candy is a bit sweet, but with the aroma of jujube and walnuts, the more you chew, the more fragrant it is.

It’s also very good.

Half an hour later, Tong Jiaxin came back to take the slingshot, and when he saw biscuits on the table, he picked it up and ate it.

Just as Tong Xuelu walked in, he glanced at the table and paused: “Why did you eat all the biscuits and red dates and walnuts, Jiaxin? Anyway, leave some for your second brother and Mianmian to eat.”

Dou E was wronged by the flying snow in June.

It’s a big pot from the sky.

Tong Jiaxin shouted: “Sister, I just ate a biscuit, one!”

Tong Xuelu said strangely: “But you have been here alone in this hall. It wasn’t you who ate it?”

Tong Jiaxin tried his best to make it clear: “I didn’t eat it anyway!”

It’s not Tong Jiaxin. Who is that?

Grandpa said that he doesn’t like sweets, it shouldn’t be him.

Tong Xuelu couldn’t think of it and was too lazy to pursue it.

Commander Xiao, who was sweeping the snow in the yard, hummed a little song and smashed his mouth.

It feels so good to live with grandchildren.
