The Green Tea’s Crushing Victories in the ’70s - Chapter 67

[Chapter 66 Sixty-six cups of green tea]

Tong Xuelu almost nodded and laughed.

Usually, girls are more entangled in this kind of thing, she really didn’t expect Wen Rugui to be entangled too.

And it’s so cute to have to play pretend to let her hear it by accident.

Tong Xuelv turned around and pretended not to hear, and took the fruit back to the kitchen.

Not long after she returned to the kitchen, footsteps and voices came from outside.

Pu Jianyi: “I am a stranger in a foreign land alone, and I miss my relatives every time during the festival. I know that my brothers climbed high places, and there is one less dogwood.”

Wen Rugui: “Why do you suddenly read Wang Wei’s poems?”

Pu Jianyi’s voice was louder After a few minutes: “Next week is the Double Ninth Festival, and suddenly I feel a sense of it. By the way, I remember that two days after the Double Ninth Festival, that is, next Thursday is your birthday, am I right?”

Wen Rugui’s ears Wei Hong: “Well, you remember correctly.”

Park Jianyi: “Unfortunately I have to go to work next Thursday, so I will now wish you a happy birthday in advance.”

Wen Rugui: “Thank you.”

Tong Xuelu smiled in the kitchen She trembled and burst into tears.

Tell her directly that she is afraid of being too deliberate, isn’t it intentional to sing double reeds like this?

Still reading poetry!

It’s because they came up with such a dirty method.

Hey, she’ll die from laughing!

Park Jianyi kept his eyes on the kitchen, but he didn’t expect that there was no movement in the kitchen.

He leaned towards Wen Rugui, lowered his voice and said, “Did you say she heard it?”

Wen Rugui paused for a while: “I should hear, we’ll go inside to help with cooking. If she hears it, she should bring it up.”

Park Jianyi thought it made sense, so the two walked towards the kitchen.

Tong Xuelv saw them coming, and quickly wiped away her tears, pretending to be serious about cooking.

Wen Rugui and Pu Jianyi walked in, only to see Tong Xuelu with his head lowered and chopping meat, with a look of no distractions, and they didn’t even notice when they came in.

The two of them made a “crack” in their hearts at the same time: Didn’t she hear it just now?

Pu Jianyi cleared his throat and said, “Comrade Tong, do you need any help from us?”

Tong Xuelu seemed to realize that they came in: “Hey, when did you come? I just can’t be busy by myself, so it would be troublesome. You helped to wash these dishes.”

“Okay.”

Wen Rugui glanced at her, then bent over to pick up the vegetables on the ground and take them outside to wash.

Pu Jianyi followed behind with the washbasin for washing vegetables, and both of them felt a little heavy.

Go under the faucet for washing vegetables.

Pu Jianyi looked confused: “I said so loudly just now, why didn’t she hear it?”

Wen Rugui looked for an excuse for Tong Xuelu: “She is chopping meat, maybe she didn’t hear it.”

Pu Jianyi threw the vegetables into the washbasin He felt a bit of a toothache: “What do we do now? Do we have to do it again?”

Wen Rugui thought for a while: “Let’s do it again.”

This was their first birthday after confirming their relationship, and he was very happy. I want to spend time with her.

Even if he just stayed together and did nothing, he would feel very satisfied.

Pu Jianyi smiled and said, “Brother, what’s the benefit of me trying so hard to help you?” Wen Rugui: ”

Can you pay the money later?” Pu Jianyi: “…” You are cruel. The two washed the vegetables and helped peel the garlic. Then Jiang Danhong and Fang Jingyuan came over, and there was no place for them in the kitchen.

The two went back to the living room to discuss again.

Park Jianyi: “I think I’ll mention it directly in front of her later, or what if she still doesn’t hear it?”

Wen Rugui thought about it and said, “It will work.”

So after the meal was ready, Park Jianyi took action.

He suddenly said to Jiang Danhong: “Comrade Jiang, do you know that next Thursday is the birthday of the homecoming?”

Jiang Danhong put her hands on the meal, and her eyes showed a trace of confusion: “I don’t know, Comrade Wen is going to celebrate then? ”

Piao Jianyi looked at Tong Xuelu next to Jiang Danhong and said, “It shouldn’t be, after all, it’s not easy to ask for leave.”

Jiang Danhong said “oh” and didn’t say anything.

Pu Jianyi scratched his head and had to ask Tong Xuelu directly: “Comrade Tong, did you hear what I said just now? How are you going to celebrate Rugui.”

After saying this, Wen Rugui “just happened” to hold a The pot of pickled cabbage fish came in.

Tong Xuelu looked surprised: “It turns out that Rugui’s birthday is coming soon, but I should be very busy next Thursday, so I can’t ask for leave.”

Having said this, she turned to look at everyone and said, “By the way, there is There is one thing I want to tell everyone, and that is that I have been appointed as the manager of the state-run hotel!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone except Wen Rugui was shocked.

Tong Jiaxin was the first to react: “Sister, are you really a manager?”

Tong Xuelu nodded: “Well, I will start working from tomorrow.”

Tong Jiaxin jumped three feet high: “Great, sister, you have become a manager. , will we be able to eat meat every day from now on?”

Tong Xue smiled green-skinned meat but didn’t smile: “If you pass the exam, it might be possible.”

Tong Jiaxin’s smile froze on his face: “…”

Fang Jingyuan’s mouth opened wide: “Xuelu, you are too good, aren’t you? Not long ago, you were working as a female worker in a textile factory, then you became a waiter at a state-run hotel, and later became a master chef. Now you are promoted to be a manager. Are you? How did you do it?”

Jiang Danhong looked at Tong Xuelu in admiration: “Congratulations, Xuelu!”

Then others also congratulated Tong Xuelu, Tong Xuelu smiled and thanked everyone.

Wen Rugui’s birthday was forgotten by everyone.

Forgot…

Wen Rugui put the pickled fish on the dining table and suddenly felt a little bad.

She doesn’t have time to ask for leave, he does!

As long as she speaks, he will definitely find a way to ask for leave to come back!

Pu Jianyi glanced at him sympathetically, and said in a low voice, “Brother, I tried my best.”

Wen Rugui said, “…” The mood was even worse.

Then everyone’s attention was on Tong Xuelu being the manager and the food, and no one mentioned Wen Rugui’s birthday soon.

Tong Xuelu didn’t even mention it.

Tong Xuelu made dry-pot Chiba tofu, homemade fish-flavored eggplant, sauerkraut fish, garlic cabbage and naan today.

The dry pot Chiba tofu is rich in marinade, home-cooked fish-flavored eggplant has a delicate taste, and the scones are crispy and fragrant.

The sauerkraut fish is spicy and fragrant, the fish is smooth and tender, and people almost eat their tongues.

After a meal, everyone’s tastes were conquered.

Fang Jingyuan touched her stomach invisibly: “Xuelu, the food you cook is really delicious. If you become a manager in the future, will you still cook?”

Tong Xuelu: “When the master of the hotel comes back, I will I won’t do it.”

Fang Jingyuan suddenly let out a wailing: “What shall I do in the future?”

Tong Xuelu ignored her and went outside to see if the baked cookies were ready.

Wen Rugui originally wanted to follow him, but Fang Jingyuan moved faster than him, and suddenly jumped out.

Wen Rugui: “…”

Fang Jingyuan caught up with Tong Xuelu, grabbed her arm and said, “I finally understand why you abandoned my elder brother!”

Tong Xuelu raised her eyebrows.

Fang Jingyuan: “Although my eldest brother looks like a dog, it’s really incomparable to your partner. If it were me, I wouldn’t want my eldest brother!”

Not to mention that her eldest brother has such a shitty personality , not worth mentioning.

Tong Xuelu glanced at her and silently lit a candle for Fang Wenyuan in her heart.

Fang Jingyuan continued: “Xuelu, you see that we are good friends now, so I should be able to come to your house for dinner often in the future?”

Tong Xuelv took her hand back: “Who is your good friend?”

Fang Jingyuan hurriedly He held her hand again: “Sister and sister for life, that’s it, I will come here often in the future!”

Tong Xuelu rolled her eyes greatly.

When everyone went back, Tong Xuelv gave them some small cookies as gifts.

Compared with everyone else, Wen Rugui has one more thing, and that is duck eggs.

Tong Xuelu pointed at the duck eggs and said, “I wish you a happy birthday in advance, these duck eggs are even my birthday present to you in advance.”

Wen Rugui’s face stiffened: “Thank you.”

When he walked out of the alley, Pu Jianyi laughed so hard It’s almost gone: “Hahaha my mother, she actually gave you duck eggs as a birthday present, I laughed so hard…”

“…”

Wen Rugui was carrying a bag of duck eggs with a dark face.

Seeing this, Pu Jianyi laughed more and more and leaned back and forth, his laughter all the way.

**

Tong Xuelv went to work the next day.

After Tong Xuelv was promoted to the manager of the hotel, the waiter’s position became vacant.

In addition to the position where Tan Xiaoyan was dismissed, neither of the two waiters in the hotel did it.

In order to compensate Aunt Lin and Guo Weiping, who were innocently implicated, the government allowed them to purchase these two positions at a preferential price.

The Meng family bought a service worker position for Meng Qingqing, and the Guo Weiping family gave the position to his cousin Guo Chunyu.

When he was going to work, Tong Xuelv saw Meng Qingqing and new face Guo Chunyu, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.

Meng Qingqing looked thinner than before, but her face was good. Seeing Tong Xuelu, she smiled shyly.

Tong Xuelu nodded to her, and then turned to Guo Chunyu.

Guo Chunyu is married, thirty-five years old, with a round face and a round figure, and looks kind and friendly.

Guo Chunyu looked at Tong Xuelu and said with a toothy smile: “Mr. Tong, good morning, I’m Xiao Guo’s cousin Guo Chunyu, you can just call me Da Guo in the future!”

Tong Xuelu: “…”

This is What the hell is it called?

“I think it’s better to call you Sister Chunyu.”

Guo Chunyu nodded with a smile: “That’s fine, just listen to your manager.”

Tong Xuelv was very satisfied with her attitude.

Although she was appointed as the manager, but she was young, if the newcomer came over and was not convinced, it would be another trouble.

She’s not afraid of trouble, but she hates trouble.

In particular, this person is Guo Weiping’s cousin. If he doesn’t handle it well, he will have to fight again.

Seeing her getting along so well now, I can’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that everyone was here, Tong Xuelv held a meeting for them.

“From today, I am the manager of the hotel. I have the same things as other managers, but also different things.”

“The same thing is, I ask you to do a good job of hygiene, the floor table in the lobby, and the kitchen in front of the door. The sanitation in the alleys must be cleaned, and there can be no negligence!”

Meng Qingqing and the three nodded in unison.

Although Guo Chunyu is a newcomer, he has the most positive attitude: “Don’t worry, Manager Tong, we will definitely do a good job of hygiene. I will take care of the hygiene of my house by myself. I will treat the hotel as my home in the future. Love my family!”

Tong Xuelu: “…”

Tong Xuelu felt that Guo Chunyu really had a smile on her own, and she wanted to laugh when she saw her round face saying such words.

However, the positive staff is something to be commended: “Your attitude is very correct, we should treat the hotel as a writer!”

Guo Chunyu’s smile was even brighter: “I love the hotel, I love my family! Xiao Guo, Hurry up and shout together !” Guo Weiping

blushed: “I love restaurants, I love my home, and the restaurant is my home!”

Meng Qingqing quickly blushed and shouted slogans.

Tong Xuelu: “…”

She thinks that Guo Chunyu must be a master of MLM if she puts it in modern times.

She coughed and continued: “Unlike other managers, in the future, there are no special things that do not allow you to leave the hotel early and leave the hotel during work hours. As long as you do things well, I can arrange for a rest later!

” Qi Qi brightened.

The work of the state-run restaurant is very enviable, and you can buy the freshest ingredients when you eat delicious and spicy food.

But the bad thing is that there are no holidays. Except for the New Year and major festivals, there is no one day off in a month.

It would be perfect if I could take time off now!

Guo Chunyu patted his chest again and assured: “Don’t worry, Manager Tong, we will listen to you, and we will never leave the hotel early or leave the hotel for no reason!”

Guo Weiping and Meng Qingqing also nodded.

Tong Xuelu nodded with satisfaction, and continued: “Also, when guests come to the hotel in the future, we can no longer serve the same way as before. In other words, such things as scolding guests are absolutely not allowed!”

It is too early to propose smiling service. , and it is not necessary.

But the service attitude of scolding customers at every turn should be changed as soon as possible.

Meng Qingqing felt that it didn’t matter, after all, she was rather shy and didn’t dare to scold guests before.

It is Tan Xiaoyan who scolds the guests.

Guo Weiping didn’t care. He was in the kitchen and basically had no direct contact with the guests.

Guo Chunyu thought for a while and said, “Manager Tong, if someone grabs a seat and quarrels in a hotel, can’t they scold them?”

Tong Xuelv said, “If that happens, you can ask them out directly!”

Guo Chunyu thought I want to show that I understand.

Then Tong Xuelu made several other requests, and several people expressed no opinion.

Then she announced the dismissal of the meeting, and then went to the commercial department to meet and do the handover.

State-run hotels are managed by the commercial sector, the ownership rights belong to the state, and all interests belong to the higher authorities.

Before, the operating expenses of the hotel were all in Liu Dongchang’s hands. After Liu Dongchang’s accident, all the money was taken back.

She is now going to get money to buy ingredients.

Coming to the commercial department, the doorman was surprised to see her coming to a meeting as a manager.

She checked her documents over and over before letting her in.

When Tong Xuelu entered the conference hall, everyone’s eyes fell on her.

“Why did a woman come in here? Did you go to the wrong place?”

“That’s right, hello little girl, did you go to the wrong place?”

Tong Xuelu looked at them lightly: “I didn’t go wrong, I’m Chengnan. The manager of the state-run hotel, I’m here for a meeting.” There was

a thunderbolt on the ground!

As soon as these words came out, the men present were shocked.

“Is she the manager? When did the manager of a state-run hotel become a woman?”

“That’s right, and she looks so young, can she do it?”

“I advise you to keep your voice down. People at this age can be parachuted into the position of manager. , you should know that people’s background is not simple!”

As soon as these words came out, the meeting room that was still whispering just now suddenly became silent.

Everyone secretly looked at Tong Xuelv, but no one came up to greet her.

Tong Xuelu didn’t care and found an empty seat to sit down.

These people are all resources in her eyes, but now these resources despise her airborne personnel.

So she was not in a hurry to go up and say hello.

Posting it now will only make people look down on it.

To be convincing, you have to speak with strength.

After ten minutes, the leader of the commercial department came over.

The Minister of Commerce was a middle-aged man in his 40s and 50s, wearing a black tunic suit with a serious expression.

After summarizing some problems of the state-run hotel, he asked, “Is the manager of the Chengnan state-run hotel here?”

Tong Xuelu stood up and said, “Here, sir, my name is Tong Xuelu, the new hotel manager. !”

Minister Lin looked at her and said sharply: “Comrade Tong, do you have the confidence to run the Chengnan Hotel? If you don’t have the confidence, you are allowed to quit now!”

Tong Xuelu said in a clear and loud voice, “Don’t worry, Minister, I have the confidence to run the hotel well!” When

the men present heard this, some shook their heads, sneered, and some felt that Tong Xuelu didn’t know how high the sky was.

The restaurant in the south of the city has been poisoned by pesticides. Even if it is reopened, I am afraid that everyone will not dare to come to eat.

Minister Lin: “Very good, then I’ll give you three months to reopen the restaurant.” Tong Xue’s green lips ticked

slightly: “It doesn’t take three months, just one month.”

As soon as they came out, the conference hall fell silent again.

Everyone looked at Tong Xuelu with more and more ridicule.

Sure enough, I don’t know how high the sky is, and I want to start the business again in a month?

What a daydream!

Minister Lin laughed: “Okay, since you said one month, then one month!”

Tong Xuelu calmly sat down as if not seeing everyone’s mocking eyes.

After taking the operating expenses, Tong Xuelv went directly to the supply and marketing cooperative and vegetable station to buy ingredients.

Back at the restaurant, Meng Qingqing and the others were stunned when they saw the ingredients in her hands.

Meng Qingqing: “Manager Tong, why did you only buy so many ingredients? It’s not enough!”

Guo Weiping and Guo Chunyu nodded in unison.

Tong Xuelu: “Enough, no one should come to our door in the past two days. These ingredients are for us to eat.”

Several people were silent when they heard this.

Food poisoning is the most taboo in restaurants. The incident of Cao Dagang happened. Although it was later proved that he directed and acted, many ordinary people would not care about the follow-up development.

In their eyes, the restaurant almost killed people!

So now that the business is reopened, no one should come to eat.

If no one comes to eat, the restaurant will not be able to operate and they will lose their jobs!

Tong Xuelu didn’t comfort them.

Sure enough, no one came to eat all day.

Occasionally, a few outsiders didn’t know they wanted to come in for dinner, and they were quickly discouraged.

No one came to the door for the next two days, and the door was stunned.

Meng Qingqing and several others were so worried, only Tong Xuelu was very calm.

You should eat and drink, and you don’t seem to be in a hurry at all.

When Tong Xuelv held a meeting before, he said that he would be able to operate the hotel within a month. After the meeting, many people were paying attention to the hotel’s every move.

They thought that Tong Xuelu would make some amazing moves, but no one did anything!

The hotel didn’t have a single customer for two or three days, which is really a big laugh!

It seems to be bragging!

Seeing that Tong Xuelu was incompetent, everyone was too lazy to continue to pay attention.

**

As soon as the time turned, it soon came to the day before Wen Rugui’s birthday.

Wen Rugui has been in a bad mood ever since he returned to the base.

Huang Qimin and Zhou Yan soon discovered that something was wrong with him.

So the base three Musketeers gathered together again.

Huang Qimin said, “If you go home, have you quarreled with your partner?”

Zhou Yan smiled brightly: “Yes, tell us what you are not happy about.”

Wen Rugui glanced at them: “No quarrel.”

Zhou Yan did not believe this: “Why did you not quarrel? You have a dark face when you come back? Ah, I remembered, tomorrow is your birthday, shouldn’t it be your object that doesn’t show anything?”

Wen Rugui’s face suddenly sank after hearing this.

When Zhou Yan saw him like this, he knew that he had guessed correctly: “As expected, I guessed it! I said like home, do you really have someone? You shouldn’t lie to us, right?”

Wen Rugui thought for himself The object defended: “She’s very busy, so she doesn’t have time to spend my birthday with me.”

Huang Qimin shook his head and sighed as if he had come over: “If you are home, I didn’t tell you, you can’t do this! You, a big man, should take it. With the aura of a big man, she said that if there is no time, there will be no time. If you two get married in the future, where will you still have status at home?”

Zhou Yan nodded again and again: “That’s right, you’ve lost the face of our men! If it goes on like this, I will definitely be afraid of my daughter-in-law!”

Huang Qimin also nodded.

Wen Rugui was expressionless and said nothing.

Zhou Yan saw that he didn’t take it to heart, and immediately added a fire: “If you are at home, don’t take it seriously, our dean is under the control of his daughter-in-law!”

“I heard that the dean is at home with his daughter-in-law ! When he eats steamed buns, he can only eat wowotou, and his daughter-in-law tells him to stand, so he doesn’t dare to sit, and he lives without any dignity!”

Huang Qimin’s face suddenly became very strange, and he winked at him: “cough cough.”

Zhou Yan looked at him He glanced at him: “Is your throat alright?”

Huang Qimin hated that iron was not steel, and whispered: “President!”

Zhou Yan nodded: “Yes, I’m talking about our dean, you shouldn’t know, our dean. You are a strict wife, if you are at home, don’t learn from our dean!”

Suddenly, a sneer came from behind: “Don’t say they don’t know, even I don’t know.”

Zhou Yan shuddered, turned around stiffly, and saw Dean Zhuang Zhenghui standing behind him.

President Zhuang: “I wanted to tell you that you can ask for leave today, but now it seems that you can forget it.”

Zhou Yan: “…”
