Chapter 099

Wang Cuiying and Xu Lihua did not join in the murmur, and the expressions on their faces were somewhat unnatural.

Then Wang Cuiying smiled and said, "There's still a lot to see when this restaurant opens."

She and Xu Lihua were not close to each other. After saying this, she stopped sitting in the west room. She got up and went back to the east room opposite. She sat down and continued chatting with Li Lan and a few others.

The sun is high in the sky at noon.

Outside the Hesheng Grocery Store, a bicycle rode straight to the door and stopped near the wall.

Chuxia jumped out of the back seat of the car, and Tang Haikuan got out and kicked the footrest to park the car.

Both the father and daughter had bright smiles on their faces. After parking the car, they hurried into the grocery store one after the other, and went straight to the seasoning counter after entering.

At this time, Wu Xuemei was arranging things on the shelf with her back to the counter.

Chu Xia and Tang Haikuan walked to the counter, and Chu Xia smiled and called out, "Mom!"

Wu Xuemei turned around when she heard the voice and saw Chu Xia and Tang Haikuan. She also smiled subconsciously and asked, "Why are you here together?"

Chuxia didn't say anything, but she couldn't hide the happy smile on her face.

She lowered her head, opened her schoolbag and took something out of it. After a moment, she took out a note and handed it to Wu Xuemei.

Wu Xuemei took the note with some doubt.

After she took it and read it, her eyes suddenly widened, and her voice and expression became excited as she asked, "Have the grain and oil quotas been approved? Have the food supply issues been resolved?"

Chu Xia smiled and nodded at her, "Yes, the leaders of the Industry and Commerce Bureau read in the newspaper that our food supply problem has not been solved, so they took the initiative to help us communicate with the Grain Bureau and persuaded the Grain Bureau to approve the quota for us! They also said that we can go to them if we have any difficulties in the future."

Wu Xuemei was so happy that she looked at the note with a smile and kept saying, "That's great."

This way they can be prepared and open for business immediately.

Hearing the three of them talking, the other salespeople in the store also came over.

When they looked over and saw the note in Wu Xuemei's hand, they were all surprised. After exclaiming in amazement, they congratulated her and said, "When the restaurant opens, we will all go and join in the fun and show our support for your family!"

When this restaurant opens, it will be the first and only private restaurant in Beijing. It has not been opened since the public-private partnership, so they must go there for a meal to catch the novelty.

Chu Xia and Tang Haikuan did not stay in the grocery store for long. After telling Wu Xuemei the good news, they bought some things in the grocery store and then went home.

This time when they entered the alley again, both father and daughter were in high spirits.

As I turned my bike into the alley, I heard my neighbor standing outside the gate asking, "Have you solved the food and oil problem for your restaurant?"

Tang Haikuan replied loudly: "Yes, it's solved!"

The voice was high-pitched and passionate, and seemed to spread throughout the alley in an instant.
