The Green Tea’s Crushing Victories in the ’70s - Chapter 89

[Chapter 88]

Those eyes were as deep as deep pools, bottomless.

The owner of the eyes has handsome features, tall stature, and straight and slender legs. If it weren’t for the jewels like Wen Rugui in front of him, he would indeed be a very handsome man.

Minister Gao of the Foreign Affairs Office of the city went up to meet him, his voice trembling in the wind: “Hello Comrade Xie, I am Minister Gao of the Foreign Affairs Office of the city, but I have finally come to you!”

Xie Chengzhou’s hand was tightly held: ” Hello, Minister Gao, I am so overwhelmed that so many of you come to pick us up!”

Minister Gao nodded: “Comrade Xie, don’t be polite, you have been away from the motherland for nearly 30 years, and it is rare to come back to visit relatives. We will definitely entertain you!” The

United Nations Chinese Translation Office recruited Chinese interpreters for the exam in 1947, and only four people were admitted that year, and Xie Chengzhou was one of them.

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

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

It is not easy for people to live in other countries, and it is even more difficult for people to live in other countries!

The country was obstructed by the United States at the beginning of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, resulting in no way to restore its seat in the United Nations for more than 20 years. It was not until October 1971 that it won the final victory in the 26th United Nations General Assembly.

This war without gunpowder smoke lasted for so many years, and finally drew a perfect ending.

But after the country has obtained legal rights, there is still no way for them as translators to return to the country, and it is not until this year that the time is ripe.

The surging and excitement in his heart cannot be expressed in words when he re-steps on this land where he grows and nurtures himself.

When everyone saw Xie Chengzhou’s red eyes, they couldn’t help but get emotional. One or two lesbians also wiped their eyes.

When the young man standing behind Xie Chengzhou saw this, he took out a neatly folded square handkerchief from his pocket and handed it over: “Dad, quickly wipe your tears, it’s embarrassing to cry at such a big age.”

Xie Chengzhou turned around and glared at his son, then turned around and introduced to the crowd: “This is my youngest son Xie… You can just call him Xiao Xie.” The

wind was a bit strong, and Tong Xuelv stood behind and didn’t hear the other party’s words clearly. .

The young man called Xiao Xie nodded and greeted everyone. Although there was no obstacle to communication, his tone had a taste of the American side.

However, according to his age, he should be a Chinese born and raised in the United States, and it is normal 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 we’ll talk slowly after getting in the car!”

Xie Chengzhou naturally responded, and was embraced by a group of people and boarded the car.

Even Minister Lin couldn’t speak on this occasion, so Tong Xuelu naturally had no chance to speak.

In fact, it didn’t matter whether I brought her here or not, except for the cold wind blowing for more than an hour, she couldn’t say a word.

Then came a loneliness 🙂

Tong Xuelu followed behind, she consciously wanted to sit in a car behind, but she was stopped by Minister Gao as soon as she stepped on it.

“That lesbian, come and take a ride in this car.”

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

She had no choice but to step forward and said with a stiff smile in the wind: “Hello, Minister Gao, I’m Tong Xuelu, the manager of Dongfeng Hotel.”

Minister Gao looked at her when he heard the words: “So you are Manager Tong, you are really incredible. Looks, I thought you were a secretary, I didn’t expect you to be so young!”

Minister Gao said, stuffing a hot water bottle into her arms, and exhorting: “You will hold this hot water bottle, be careful not to let the inner liner break. I’m done.”

Tong Xuelu: “…”

Dare she is a tool person?

Minister Gao stuffed her the thermos and sat in the back seat. Tong Xuelu had to accept his fate and sit in the passenger seat with the thermos in his arms.

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

When Xie Chengzhou left the motherland, New Huaxia had not yet been established. The post-war country was in ruins, and it was very different from what it is now.

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

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

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

Comrade Xiao Xie also said no.

Minister Gao saw that they didn’t drink, and felt a little embarrassed to drink it by himself, 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 sight of the back of Tong Xuelu’s round head, and decided to “disaster” Dong Yin.

“Don’t look at that Comrade Tong in front of her, she’s young and well-dressed. In fact, she is the manager and chef of Dongfeng Hotel. Not long ago, she won the first place in the competition of twelve first-class restaurants. I heard that The food she cooks is delicious, and she will prepare your meals during this time!”

Tong Xuelu: “…” It’s good to praise me, but it doesn’t need to say that I am well-dressed.

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

Xie Chengzhou: “Since ancient times, teenagers have been heroes. Comrade Tong has done such a thing at a young age. It is really admirable. There are such talents in our country, and the future can be expected!”

Tong Xuelv smiled and said: “Comrade Xie has won the award, but thank you I really agree with what comrade said later, our country has a promising future, and in the near future, our country will definitely become a superpower that will attract the attention of the whole world!”

Tong Xuelu’s words are all descendants of Huaxia. Let everyone present be moved.

Who doesn’t expect the motherland’s mother to get better and stronger?

Only when it is strong will the country not be beaten!

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

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

Tong Xuelu asked back, “Where would Comrade Xie want to eat?”

Xie Chengzhou said, “I don’t know Tong Tong. Will comrades make Yangzhou fried rice?”

Yangzhou fried rice?

Didn’t it 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 know Yangzhou fried rice, but Comrade Xie is not from Beijing? Why do you suddenly want to eat Yangzhou fried rice?”

Xie Chengzhou’s voice was slightly choked: “My mother is from Yangzhou, and she liked to give us a few brothers and sisters when she was still alive. I made Yangzhou fried rice, and then I went abroad and she stayed in China, and I never ate Yangzhou fried rice made by her old man.”

His mother died ten years after he left the country. At that time, he was on the other side of the Atlantic and could not come back.

This separation is twenty-nine years. He is an unfilial son, and he can’t come back even after the death of his mother.

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

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

The atmosphere in the car suddenly became a little heavy.

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

During this period, Tong Xuelv took another car and went back to Dongfeng Hotel to get condiments and ingredients and come to the hotel to cook.

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

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

Anyway, there are cars coming and going to pick her up, so she treats her as a different place to cook.

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

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

Listening to Xie Chengzhou’s meaning, what he misses more is the home-cooked dishes made by his mother.

Therefore, three of the four dishes are prepared for him, and the remaining one is 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, shrimp and corn kernels.

Tong Xuelu fry the ingredients separately, and then fry the rice with the method of scrambled eggs and fried rice until the grains are golden, and the grains are loose, as if they are wrapped in gold.

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

Then she made garlic stir-fried cabbage and tomato and egg soup, and when these two were done, the beef ribs were also stewed.

The steak bones were stewed to a crisp, and they were picked up with chopsticks. The meat of the steak bones trembled, the fat meat was crystal clear, and the fascinating fragrance instantly filled the whole kitchen.

At this moment, there were two sounds of “squeeze” from behind.

Tong Xuelu looked back and saw Comrade Xiao Xie taking a camera and photographing her.

When Xiao Xie saw that she found herself, a bright smile appeared on his handsome face: “Comrade Tong, you look very focused and beautiful when you cook!”

In fact, he has been here for a long time, but this Comrade Tong was so focused on the meal that he didn’t notice him at all.

When I was in the car before, I saw her wearing a thick padded jacket. She was wrapped like a ball, and she was gray. I didn’t want to have 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, especially suitable for taking pictures.

Tong Xuelu glanced at him and said, “You have violated my right to portrait like this, forget it this time, it won’t

be an example next time!” Xiao Xie raised his eyebrows when he heard this: “Comrade Tong is really special, like other people It’s completely different.”

He took the camera around and took pictures just now, and other people were curious and scared when they saw his camera, but after he explained that he wanted to take pictures of them, they would all become very excited.

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

Xiao Xie apologized and said, “Comrade Tong, I apologize to you, and I won’t set an example!”

Tong Xuelv nodded and scooped the steak onto a plate.

Xiao Xie smelled the enticing fragrance, and there was a rumbling sound from his stomach.

He walked over to take a look and couldn’t help whistling: “Comrade Tong is indeed the chef who has won the first place in cooking. Your dish is really full of color, flavor and taste !

”

What’s your name, my name is Xie…”

When Xiao Xie said his name, a sharp voice came from outside, and he didn’t know what it was.

Tong Xuelu frowned and said, “My name is Tong Xuelu, Tong in winter next to a single person, snow with snowflakes, green green, what’s your name, I didn’t hear it clearly just now.”

“Wow, Tong What a nice name for a comrade, green happens to be my favorite color, green represents hope, and I have a green hat!”

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

After Xiao Xie finished speaking, he thought that his accent was not clear just now, 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 corner of her mouth couldn’t help twitching: “Comrade Xiao Xie should have an English name, right?”

Xiao Xie said: “Yes, my English name is Jason, which translates into Chinese as Jason.

Tong Xuelu: “I’ll still call you Comrade Xiao Xie.” Jason

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

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

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

After he sat down and couldn’t wait to take a mouthful of Yangzhou fried rice, his eyes were wet again: “This taste… exactly the same as what my mother made back then. It’s been twenty-nine years, and I haven’t tasted this taste for twenty-nine years. It ‘s gone!”

After eating midnight dreams, what he was thinking about was a mouthful of Yangzhou fried rice made by his mother.

He thought that he would never be able to eat it in his life, and he didn’t want to return to the motherland on the first day, so how could he not be excited by letting him taste the taste of his dreams?

Xie Chengzhou then tasted several other side dishes, and he was full of praise again: “Comrade Tong’s food is really delicious, and he deserves to be the manager of a restaurant at a young age!”

Jason is fond of the steak. One bell.

The fat meat is fat but not greasy, the lean meat is soft and fragrant, and when you bite into it, 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 went back to the restaurant.

Accompanying the two fathers and sons of the Xie family is in charge of the people from the Foreign Affairs Office. She only needs to come over and cook for them before evening.

This is the case for the next few days.

Xie Chengzhou praised her many times in front of Minister Gao and Minister Lin because he was very satisfied with Tong Xuelu’s food, which made several leaders remember Tong Xuelu’s name.

When the Spring Festival holiday came, she was rewarded.

In addition to the two enamel jars with the words “Women hold up half the sky”, there is also a bonus of fifty yuan.

Fifty yuan is equivalent to half a month’s salary, and Tong Xuelv is very satisfied with this reward.

**

The Spring Festival has finally come to everyone’s expectations.

Factories are on holiday and restaurants are closed, but the streets are not deserted at all, and there are playful children everywhere.

Children are the happiest New Year’s Eve, 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 in time for the New Year’s Eve, and the New Year’s goods he bought were delivered to his home before that.

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

The snow was fluttering outside and it was freezing cold, but inside the house was happy.

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

At this time, Commander Xiao made dumplings with Tong Jiaming and several grandchildren.

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

The result is that except for Tong Jiaming’s dumplings and the surprise, the others are purely hot eyes.

Especially Commander Xiao, who can make dumplings on par with Tong Mianmian.

Commander Xiao looked at Tong Xuelu and looked at himself, and his face turned red and said, “I haven’t done this before. I’ll practice again and I’ll be fine soon.”

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

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

So in the next few years, he used the excuse that the army had something to do.

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

Tong Xuelv said with a smile: “It’s fine, anyway, you make your own food.”

As soon as these words came out, both Commander Xiao and Tong Jiaxin froze.

Tong Mianmian’s eyes also widened, which was very funny.

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

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

” She had been busy all the time, and they didn’t have time to spend time together after Wen Rugui came back. They often met in a hurry in a restaurant, and she would rush to another restaurant to cook.

Fortunately, now that they are on vacation, they can finally get together.

Commander Xiao was unhappy in his heart, although the eldest granddaughter, the cabbage, was not raised by him, but looking at Wen Rugui, he still had the feeling that his own cabbage was arched by a pig.

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

He had to wait for the two grandfathers and grandsons of the Wen family to come over tomorrow, and he would “make things difficult” for them.

At this time, the Wen family was also discussing this topic.

Mr. Wen: “Xiao Zong, are everything ready for the Tong’s house tomorrow?”

Uncle Zong nodded: “It’s all ready, commander don’t worry.”

Mr. Wen pouted: “What do I have to worry about, I’m in a hurry to go. Eating food made by Xuelu is too unpalatable!”

Uncle Zong: “…”

Wen Rugui didn’t say a word.

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

Tong Xuelu personally cooked a table of good dishes, and the whole family ate dumplings until their stomachs were round.

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

Wen Rugui likes to eat red dates and walnut candies, so she makes a lot of them.

When it was done, she took some out for her family to eat first.

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

Tong Xuelu walked in with biscuits and red dates and walnut candies and said, “Grandpa, I made this, do you want 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 and them eat.”

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

Tong Xue Green thought for a while and shook her head: “I still like to cook.”

After the economic reform and opening up, she still wanted to pursue a career in business. Whether it was in the military or in politics, she was not interested.

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

Tong Xuelv chatted for a while and went back to the kitchen to make other snacks.

Commander Xiao was the only one left in the living room.

He didn’t intend to eat those snacks, but the smell of cookies and candies kept piercing his nose, causing him to swallow several saliva.

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

The biscuits are crunchy, chewy, and full of flavor after swallowing.

not bad.

I don’t know what red dates and walnut candies taste like?

So he reached for another piece.

The red dates and walnut candies are a bit sweet, but with the aroma of red dates and walnuts, the more you chew, the more fragrant it is.

Also very good.

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

Just as Tong Xuelu walked in, her eyes glanced at the table and paused: “Jiaxin, why did you eat all the biscuits and red dates and walnut candies? Anyway, save some for your second brother and Mianmian to eat.”

Dou E blamed June Feixue .

A cauldron fell from the sky.

Tong Jiaxin exclaimed, “Sister, I just ate one biscuit, one!”

Tong Xuelu said strangely, “But you are the only one in this hall. Who did you eat it?”

Tong Jiaxin tried his best. Aside: “I didn’t eat it anyway!” It

wasn’t Tong Jiaxin, who was that?

Grandpa said that he doesn’t like sweet food, so it shouldn’t be him.

Tong Xuelu couldn’t think of it and didn’t bother to pursue it.

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

It feels so good to live with my grandchildren.
