Chapter 221 Hello, Master Mei

Although it was impossible to use GPS to locate the place, An Zhixia still calculated the location of this place from the supermarket's Kyoto map. It was right on the edge of the new urban area, surrounded by high-rise buildings and heavy traffic.

The terrain here is flat and the view is wide. In the distance, you can see green wheat fields. The cool breeze blows your hair, making you feel particularly comfortable.

"The organization said that it is worth trying to exchange wheat for meat, milk and eggs with high nutritional value. Not only the leaders, but also comrades from other units are keeping an eye on this project. Moreover, the supply and marketing cooperative has invested most of its funds in the construction of the breeding farm. We cannot let public money go to waste, our efforts go to waste, and we cannot allow others to laugh at us.

It can be said that this is a do-or-die battle for all the employees of the supply and marketing cooperative. If we succeed, we will have fought a beautiful turnaround battle. If we fail, the supply and marketing cooperative will be seriously damaged and it will take several years or even more than ten years to recover, and the gap with other shopping malls will be even greater.

Therefore, we have a heavy burden on our shoulders. Comrade An Zhixia, do you have confidence? " Li Hanqian said seriously, which was rare.

Mao Manxi also held her breath and looked at An Zhixia.

"Nothing can be achieved overnight. We will do our best and achieve victory through repeated improvements!" An Zhixia said word by word with a smile.

Li Hanqian's mouth twitched: "Your words are official and honest!"

The amount of land allocated by the organization was not small. In an era when food was still in short supply, such a choice was made, which showed that they really attached great importance to this project. Of course, it was also the result of Li Hanqian and others' hard work.

Today is the day when the "Kyoto Dongcheng District Supply and Marketing Cooperative Breeding Base" is started. Not only the leaders of the Dongcheng District Supply and Marketing Cooperative are here, but also the leaders of the Shizhong District and other districts' supply and marketing cooperatives, several shopping mall leaders, Kyoto market departments, supervision and other relevant department leaders are also present to attend the groundbreaking ceremony.

They saw the granddaughter of the Mao family holding hands and laughing with a little girl who was still fair and pretty in spring, and they couldn't help but take a few more glances. This must be the precious granddaughter of some old man, right? They had to give her some respect when they met her in the future.

Those who had seen her were slightly trembling in their hearts, so as to avoid being noticed by this little tiger girl who was just a figurehead in front of the leader.

The groundbreaking ceremony was very simple. Each leader held a pair of scissors to cut the red silk, then used a brand new shovel to shovel the soil a few times, said some encouraging and prospective words, looked at the drawings, walked around the site, and then took a car to a state-owned restaurant for dinner.

An Zhixia glanced at Li Hanqian, and the other party quickly understood and nodded at her helplessly. In the end, she took a step forward and whispered in the president's ear to set the lunch point at Baifu State-owned Restaurant.

There was nothing for her to do here, so An Zhixia took Mao Manxi with her to go to Baifu State-Owned Restaurant to report the news. Chef Zhang was so excited to receive such a large order that he drafted the lunch menu with An Zhiqiu and asked someone to count the ingredients in the restaurant, and if they were not enough, they could go to the headquarters or other brother units for loan.

Seeing them pile up the best dishes on a menu, An Zhixia couldn't stand it. These dishes were good, but every state-owned restaurant had them, and there was nothing special about them. She grabbed the paper and pen and wrote down the dishes and patterns of the set meals in the future, using the ingredients available in the state-owned restaurants in that season. She started with six appetizers: fried peanuts with salted duck egg yolk, fried pork with pickled cabbage and peppers, braised chicken feet, tofu with scallions, steamed eggplant with minced garlic, and cold-mixed shepherd's purse; then braised carp, clay pot chicken, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, braised prawns, beef brisket stewed with potatoes, braised lion's head, dry pot beans, assorted rice, shepherd's purse and meat pan-fried buns, and hot and sour soup to make up the whole thing!

Since they are cooking for the leaders, they have to show their real skills. In addition to making the food taste authentic, they also have to spend time on the knife skills and the presentation of the dishes. It's like clothes make the man and saddles make the horse; only pleasing dishes will make people look forward to it.

When the food was put on the table, the leaders' cars arrived one after another. They were stunned by the rich dishes on the table. In fact, there were only two dishes per person, less than two yuan, but it made people feel extravagant. The fragrant smell attracted them to sit down one after another, and after some pushing and shoving, they buried their heads in the food.

After the meal, they couldn't help but touch their bulging bellies, and their bodies exuded a sense of satisfaction. They secretly decided that they would bring their family and friends to try it again in the future. How could such a delicious restaurant not be famous? It must have been implicated by the Dongfeng Shili Supply and Marketing Cooperative!

After seeing off her boss, An Zhixia smiled and ate a steamed bun while going to work. In the middle of the night, the old man from Gome Barber Shop greeted her quietly, "Comrade Xiao An, are you going to work?"

"Hello, Master Mei," An Zhixia said with a smile, taking a bun from the jar and handing it over: "My brother made the shepherd's purse buns, they are delicious, the shepherd's purse is very tender, and with vermicelli and meat, it is so fragrant that your old tongue will want to swallow it."

Master Mei looked at the plump and tempting steaming buns and couldn't help but reach out to take them and imitate her in biting them. The skin was thin and the fillings were rich. The mouth was full of oil and the dough was chewy. He couldn't bear to take the second bite, "Comrade Xiao An, do you have any more buns? Give me two?"

As he said this, he turned around and asked the boy inside to get his bag, took out the food coupons and money from it, and handed them over with a smile.

An Zhixia reluctantly handed over the two coins and only took 20 cents without asking for the food coupons.

After collecting the buns, Master Mei stopped An Zhixia who was about to leave, rubbing his hands and saying embarrassedly: "Comrade Xiao An, uncle knows that you are a capable female comrade. Look at your Dongfeng Shili Supply and Marketing Cooperative store, which has been renovated with new goods and has a constant flow of customers. The Baifu State-owned Restaurant next door has received so many leaders and has quickly become prosperous.

The Gome Barbershop, which is sandwiched between you, has no customers for a day and will soon close down. We, the two masters and three young men, depend on it for our livelihood.

In fact, it is not only Gome, but other barbershops are also very cold. Perming is not popular now. People only come to the shop to get their hair cut for weddings. Usually, they just take scissors and do it at home.

Can you give us some advice? I believe our leaders will also welcome Comrade Xiao An's help and will not let your efforts go in vain."

An Zhixia stepped back. This was not something an ordinary barber would promise. However, she looked at the mottled Gome Barber Shop sign, and then looked at the poorly lit, boring and narrow shop inside, and the corners of her lips rose slightly.

She finished the bun in her hand, pushed the door and entered the barber shop. After washing her hands, she walked around.

The two old masters followed her around and carefully looked at the old shop where they had worked for more than ten years.
