Chapter 96
Chapter 94 Ninety four cups of green tea
Before opening the gift box given by Xie Chengzhou, Tong Xuelu guessed that it contained something like a necklace or perfume.
She even wondered if she would give herself a small yellow croaker, but when she opened it, there was a yellow stone inside.
The stone is about the size of a thumb, the texture is warm and delicate, the color is bright and heavy, and it is a good thing at first glance.
Tong Jiaxin said strangely: “Sister, why would someone send you a stone faster?” Although the stone looked strange and beautiful.
Tong Xuelu said: “This is not an ordinary stone. This is a good Tianhuangshi, and it is still orange-skinned Tianhuangshi, which is very precious.”
Before she wore the book, Tian Huangshi was fried for two to three million yuan per gram. This Tianhuangshi was about 100 grams, and in later generations this stone was worth two to three million yuan.
This gift is so precious!
Tong Jiaxin scratched his nose, but still didn’t quite understand how expensive a stone that was not as big as a thumb could be.
Tong Xuelu didn’t continue to explain to him, and put Tian Huangshi in his room to hide.
After returning, I saw Tong Jiaming as if he had something to say: “Do you have something to tell me?”
Tong Jiaming paused and nodded: “Well, I will be in the fifth grade as soon as the school starts, but I want to skip to the first grade directly.”
At the beginning of 1970, the Education Bureau put forward the concept of “education must be revolutionized, and the school system must be shortened”. The elementary school system was changed from six years to five years, and junior high schools and high schools were reduced from three years to two years. The reform will not be changed until 1979. come back.
Tong Jiaming’s school age is considered very late in later generations, but it is not too late in this age.
He started school at the age of eight, and he was 12 years old this year, and he happened to be in the fifth grade.
Tong Xuelu said: “Jumping a grade is a good thing. If you dare to say that, it means that you have finished studying the fifth grade textbook, right?”
Tong Jiaming nodded: “I borrowed his brother’s fifth grade textbook from my classmates, and I finished the study before the winter vacation.”
Tong Jiaxin widened his eyes from the side: “Second brother, when did you learn? Why didn’t I know?”
Tong Jiaming said indifferently: “You can study during the day and between classes, and you can study after finishing your homework at night.”
Tong Jiaxin looked at him like a monster: “I really don’t understand, how can there be a man like your second brother in this world who loves to learn so much!”
In addition to his homework, his second brother also tutored him and Tong Mianmian in the evening. He didn’t expect that for that little time, he would have to race against time to learn the textbooks across grades. It was really hard for him!
Tong Xuelu admired Tong Jiaming’s self-discipline: “If you have already studied well, I will go to school with you and talk to the teacher after school starts.”
You must pass an exam to skip a level, not that you can skip a level if you want to.
A smile appeared in Tong Jiaming’s eyes: “Thank you, sister.”
Tong Xuelu: “When you succeed in jumping, you can tell me what rewards you want.”
Tong Jiaming’s eyes brightened: “Anything is fine?”
Tong Xuelu nodded: “Yeah.”
She treats the three children equally, whoever does well will be rewarded, and whoever does not well will be punished.
Tong Jiaxin on the side saw that his second brother could be rewarded, his eyes were full of envy.
Tong Mianmian blinked his big eyes with the same envy: “Sister, when can Mianmian go to school? Mianmian also wants to skip grades and rewards!”
Tong Xuelu rubbed her head: “You are still young, wait another two years.”
Xiao Tuanzi sighed after hearing this, holding his small face and said: “I have been four years old in this world, but I didn’t expect that I still can’t go to school!”
“Puff–”
Hearing this, Tong Xuelu couldn’t help laughing.
Seeing that even his sister is so self-motivated, Tong Jiaxin couldn’t help feeling of crisis in his heart.
**
The Spring Festival has passed, and companies such as factories, supply and marketing cooperatives, and restaurants have reopened.
The fact that Tong Xuelu accompanied the returning translator to Yangzhou had spread in the hotel.
Being able to entertain foreign guests, and to accompany them on trips outside the province, this kind of opportunity is not something ordinary people can have.
Guo Chunyu: “Mr. Tong, you are really amazing. Compared with you, my age is a waste of life!”
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
Tong Xuelu became a manager of a first-class restaurant at the age of nineteen, and obtained a first-class chef certificate. Now he has the experience of entertaining foreign guests, and he is highly regarded by the leaders of the Ministry of Commerce. Manager Tong is simply a talent!
She has such an achievement at such a young age now, and she will definitely be even more remarkable in the future!
Tong Xuelu smiled and said: “You don’t want to belittle yourself. Opportunities are for those who are prepared. As long as you keep working hard, who dares to say that you can’t be a hotel manager in the future?”
When everyone heard this, their faces flushed, and their hearts were excited, and they were greatly encouraged.
Thinking that Manager Tong was just a waiter at the beginning, no one thought she could be the manager of a first-class hotel.
Although they are not as capable as Manager Tong, they can be more diligent, and after a few years of qualifications, they may be able to seize the opportunity in the future.
After the chicken soup was stewed, Tong Xuelu continued to vomit bitterness again: “Actually, the reception of foreign guests is not as beautiful as you imagined. I have to think about what to make delicious every day, for fear of neglecting the other party and worrying about the leadership. satisfaction.”
“From Beijing to Yangzhou, it takes a 14-to-five-hour train. We got there in the middle of the night. There was sleet outside. It was so cold that people were about to turn into popsicles. I couldn’t get a rest when I went to the hotel. Everyone is cooking, you see that my hand is almost getting frostbite!”
When everyone heard this, the envy in their hearts suddenly faded.
This job is indeed not something ordinary people can do. If you neglect foreign guests, you will most likely be dismissed.
There is also a rare holiday for the New Year. It is really hard to have to go to other provinces by train for so long, and to cook for a large group of people in the middle of the night.
After the purchase came back, Master Lei took advantage of everyone’s attention and ran to the upstairs lounge.
“Just now I heard Manager Tong say that his hands are too busy to cause frostbite. Frostbite is a big or small thing. If the weather is not cured next year, it will still occur. I have an earthwork in my house. I will bring it to Manager Tong later?”
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, “Thank you, Master Lei. The desserts and Tianjin dishes made by Master Lei are very popular. Master Lei will continue to work hard this year. It’s best to study a few new dishes and make our restaurant become The most unique hotel in Beijing!”
When Master Lei heard this, his face flushed with excitement: “Manager Tong can rest assured that I will study hard and make more and more delicious dishes!”
Tong Xuelu nodded: “Our hotel needs a master like Master Lei, who is motivated and capable. Master Lei will work hard. The future can be expected!”
After Master Lei went down, the whole person was like chicken blood, chopped the meat bang.
Soon after Master Lei went down, Master Meng also came up.
“Manager Tong, I have the most experience in treating frostbite. I wrote this prescription just now. You can try it back and make sure you get cured!”
Tong Xuelu took the prescription and smiled with gratitude: “Thank you Master Meng, but when there is no one, Master Meng should call me Xuelu as before. I think I just came to the hotel, but Meng The master takes care of me in many ways, otherwise I won’t have today.”
When Master Meng heard this, he felt so relieved: “It’s better to call Manager Tong, or else it’s not easy to be heard.”
Tong Xuelu nodded: “Master Meng is still cautious, so let’s continue to call Manager Tong. Master Meng is the oldest master in our hotel. He has seen various scenes. In the future, the development of the hotel will depend on Meng University. Master!”
Master Meng rested for several months because of a broken hand. When he came back to the restaurant with a new chef, he was upset and worried.
He was worried that his position would be taken away by the newcomer, and now he can finally rest assured when he hears Tong Xuelu’s words.
Tong Xuelu still has a conscience, and it is not wasted that she was so kind to her in the first place.
Master Meng patted his chest and promised: “Manager Tong is so worthy of me, Lao Meng, then I will definitely live up to Manager Tong’s expectations!”
Tong Xuelu smiled and nodded: “I’m relieved with the words of Master Meng, but in a restaurant, the most important thing is not whether the food is good or not, but whether the staff can work together. You see when Liu Dongchang was the manager. The restaurant was divided into two factions. In the end, things like that happened because of the instability of people’s hearts!”
Master Meng agreed.
At the beginning, he saw Liu Dongchang’s various dislikes, and from time to time he would confront him. Liu Dongchang also embarrassed him from time to time, so the restaurant remained a second-class hotel after it had been open for so long.
After Master Meng went down, he saw Master Lei who was chopping meat and smiled at him for the first time.
When Master Lei saw this, he was so scared that he almost chopped his hand.
After Master Meng went down, Tong Xuelu opened the military kettle and took a sip of **** sugar water, and her mouth and throat suddenly became hot.
The level of her master of water is really getting better and better.
But this time she went to Yangzhou for a trip. She might have caught a bit of cold. She was worried that her aunt would have a stomachache in the next few days, so she started drinking **** sugar water from today.
At noon, Fang Jingyuan braved the cold wind to ride a bicycle to the restaurant for dinner.
As soon as she walked in, Tong Xuelu saw her red face.
Fang Jingyuan ordered a bowl of lamb soup and vermicelli, and did not leave immediately after eating. Instead, she sat aside and waited for Tong Xuelu to be busy.
When Tong Xuelu looked at her like this, she knew she had something to say: “Follow me to the lounge upstairs.”
Fang Jingyuan’s eyes lit up suddenly, and she nodded her head again and again: “Okay, I’m here.”
When she came to the lounge upstairs, she looked right and left with a pair of eyes, and finally said in an enviable voice: “Although the sparrow is small and complete, I really envy you for having such a lounge.”
Tong Xuelu grabbed a handful of melon seeds and placed it on the table, and asked as he knocked: “Say, what do you want to tell me?”
Fang Jingyuan squeezed her body, her cheeks suddenly turned red.
Tong Xuelu raised her eyebrows: “Should you not be the subject of the talk?”
Fang Jingyuan stared at her with wide eyes: “How did you know?”
“My guess.”
Fang Jingyuan covered her face and smiled like a silly girl: “You guessed it, I’m really talking about the person.”
Tong Xuelu: “Congratulations, the other party must look good, right?”
Fang Jingyuan looked at her again with admiration: “Xuelu, you are so amazing! You are right again, Comrade Xiang, he looks very nice, you don’t know, his skin is whiter than mine, and his fingers are long. It looks good!”
Since the last time she disliked that her blind date looked like a potato, Tong Xuelu knew that she was just like herself.
“What does the other party do? Do you know the bottom line?”
Fang Jingyuan nodded like garlic: “That man is the son of my cousin’s cousin from my second aunt’s unit. He works in the Education Bureau. Although he is only a secretary now, he is very capable!”
Tong Xuelu nodded: “Appearance and ability are second, and character is the most important thing. Before you get married, you have to keep your eyes open to see clearly.”
People in this age will get married soon after a blind date, and they have no idea about each other’s personalities and personalities, and they all listen to the introducer.
It was only after marriage that they found that the other’s character was not good or the two of them couldn’t match each other’s personalities, but it was too late to regret, and they could only live it away. Anyway, it was only a few decades away.
Fang Jingyuan’s eyes are shining: “The character of others is very good, and he is also very good to me. The first time I saw him, I thought I was an ugly monster again. I ate a lot of sweet potatoes and then he didn’t mind if I fart on him. , Do you say that other people’s character is very good?”
Tong Xuelu: “…”
She doesn’t know whether the other person’s character is good, but she knows Fang Jingyuan’s behavior is very retarded.
It’s really rare that the man didn’t dislike her.
**
There is another person blushing at the same time.
Tong Zhenzhen looked at the man in front of him, his heartbeat accelerated: “Minister Yan, I am glad to finally see you!”
Minister Yan looked at her sharply with a pair of eyes: “Comrade Tong Zhenzhen, how did you know that Comrade Chairman would put forward the wrong policy of’Two Whats’?”
The last time I received Tong Zhenzhen’s letter from his nephew Yan Ming, the letter said this.
Pointing out that “two ordinarys” is the wrong policy started before the Chinese New Year, but such confidential matters are rarely known. He also knew a little bit because of his relatives working in the central government.
At that time, he was shocked when he saw the content of the letter. The original words in the letter were: “Comrade Chairman will openly put forward the wrong policy of’Two Whats’ in the newspaper on February 7, 1977.”
She gave the letter to his nephew in mid-January, when he was shocked and subconsciously wanted to go to the farm to find her.
He calmed down as soon as he went out and was blown by the wind. He let people investigate Tong Zhenzhen privately and let people stare at her.
It was not until the first two days, that is, on February 7, that Comrade Chairman publicly proposed the erroneous policy of “Two Whats” through two newspapers and one publication, and his heart was shocked again.
This time I came to see her just to ask what happened.
Tong Zhenzhen glanced outwards, and then lowered his voice when he was sure that there was no one: “Does Minister Yan believe in ghosts and gods?”
Minister Yan looked at her without comment.
Tong Zhenzhen was a little flustered by his staring, but he still mustered the courage to say: “If I tell Minister Yan that I have the ability to be a prophet and know what will happen in the future, will Minister Yan believe me?”
Minister Yan twitched: “Who knows about your ability like this?”
Tong Zhenzhen shook his head: “No, I will only tell Minister Yan alone.”
Minister Yan smiled: “Why tell me, what do you want from me?”
Tong Zhenzhen said: “Minister Yan is a capable man, but unfortunately, his luck is a little worse. If I help Minister Yan, Minister Yan will definitely become a master, but I have a request.”
“Say.”
Tong Zhenzhen looked at him and said every word: “You must marry me as your wife!”
In fact, she didn’t even know Minister Yan before Yan Ming came to see her.
Yan Ming was her junior high school classmate, who had a good impression of her before she was born again, but because the two families were not right, the two of them had no contact after graduation.
Unexpectedly, he would come to visit him on the farm, and she drew out a lot of useful information from him.
One of the most useful is that Yan Ming has a young uncle who is a minister in the Revolutionary Committee. This young uncle is only fifteen years older than him, but he has been very capable since he was a child.
If Su Yueshen’s family had not been rehabilitated this time, the position of deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee would definitely belong to his younger uncle.
After hearing the news that day, she immediately had this decision in her mind.
She wants to marry Minister Yan as his wife!
She was locked up on the farm, and even if she went out, she couldn’t find a good unit and good partner, although she could do business after the reform and opening up.
It’s just that she was beaten to death by that brute domestic violence when she was less than 22 in her previous life. She had never done business before, and how tired she was doing business.
She doesn’t want to live so tired, she just wants to be a master.
The best way is to marry a capable man.
But a man like Minister Yan would definitely not marry her, so after thinking about it, she decided to tell each other by letter what she knew about the future.
Minister Yan laughed: “Do you know that I am fifteen years older than you?”
Tong Zhen really nodded: “I know, I like mature and attractive men!”
Minister Yan: “Then do you know that I already have a wife and children?”
Tong Zhenzhen nodded again: “You can divorce the other party. As for your children, I will treat them as my own children!”
Minister Yan: “Tell me more things. After verification, I will come and pick you up.”
Minister Yan stayed in Tong Zhenzhen’s dormitory for half an hour before leaving.
Tong Zhenzhen’s mouth had a certain smile, and she didn’t go back to the room until Minister Yan’s figure completely disappeared.

base.
In the base, two love chickens and a big yellow chicken have a meal together.
Huang Qimin: “As home, the method I taught you that day was very effective, right?”
Wen Rugui wore a black turtleneck sweater today, and he looked more handsome.
He gave an “um”, then put down his chopsticks and said, “I have one more thing I want to ask you.”
Huang Qimin looked smug: “Say.”
Wen Rugui: “How did you propose to your partner?”
“Snapped!”
As soon as he said this, the chopsticks in Zhou Yan’s hand fell to the ground in fright.
His eyes stared like copper bells: “Rugui, are you asking for marriage? Why are you so fast?”
Wen Rugui’s white face blushed: “Well, I think she is the person I’ve thought of for the rest of my life, so I want to propose to her sooner.”
The two of them kissed and stayed in the same room for two or three days. He must be responsible to her.
But even if it didn’t happen, he still wanted to stay with her forever.
“Rugui, why are you so anxious? How long have you known each other, and your target is not too old, she probably won’t agree to you!”
Zhou Yan was in a hurry.
He hadn’t held the partner’s hand yet, Wen Rugui actually asked for marriage, so it seemed that he was very shameless!
Huang Qimin glared at him: “What are you doing Zhou Laxi? Rugui wants to get married, what are you talking about here?”
After saying that he asked Wen Rugui to find himself in the dormitory after get off work, and he wanted to teach him all his life experience.
