Chapter 372 Let the Chief Taste the Buns
In addition to the "Most Beautiful Military Family Member" banner, there is also a cash red envelope reward of 200 yuan.
New and old customers congratulated Yu Hui one after another, and Wen Zhaodi and Zheng Jie Xiu were so jealous that their eyes turned red.
After presenting the banners and awards, Commander Zhan and his entourage sat down in the restaurant and ordered a bowl of noodles.
When Zheng Jie Xiu saw this, his eyes flashed and he hurriedly pulled his daughter-in-law Wen Zhaodi back.
After returning to the shop, he immediately filled an enamel basin with more than 20 large meat buns.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Wen Zhaodi asked with a puzzled frown.
Zheng Jiexiu rolled her eyes at her. "The leaders are eating noodles at the noodle shop. This is such a great opportunity. We must pick up some of our big meat buns and let them taste them. Let our meat buns show off in front of them."
If the leaders think their meat buns taste good, naturally more soldiers will come to eat their buns.
"I'm not saying anything bad about you..." Zheng Jiexiu pouted, "You may be young, but your brain and social skills are really not good enough."
Wen Zhaodi: “…”
Wen Zhaodi stayed to look after the shop while Zheng Jie Xiu took the buns to the noodle shop.
As soon as he entered the noodle shop, Zheng Jie Xiu took the buns and went straight to the table where Commander Zhan and his friends were sitting.
"Hello, leaders. My name is Zheng Jiexiu, and my son is Wu Tiejun, the propaganda officer." Zheng Jiexiu smiled, his face wrinkled. "The bun shop next door is owned by my daughter-in-law and me. My son Wu Tiejun always talks about you all at home, saying how you are both civil and military, and how you lead well. He admires you very much."
Division Commander Zhan and Political Commissar Gao looked at each other and thought: Who is Wu Tiejun?
Then, she responded with an awkward smile, and it was obvious that this lesbian was trying to flatter someone.
Having been in high positions for so many years, they can still tell the difference between those whose words are sincere and heartfelt and those whose words are flattering and fawning.
"This is my family's big meat bun, a craft passed down from my ancestors. I brought it here specially for the leaders to taste."
"No, no, sister, you should take it back." Political Commissar Gao stretched out his hand to stop her.
"Oh, don't be polite. My buns are delicious." Zheng Jie Xiu thought the leaders were really polite to her, so she put the buns in the middle of the table.
"Leaders, please try it. If it's not enough, just tell me and I'll get more from you." Zheng Jie Xiu said generously, patting his chest.
"Xiao Zhao, give the money for the buns to this lady." Political Commissar Gao said to the orderly Xiao Zhao.
The latter took some money out of his pocket and asked, "Auntie, how much is it?"
Zheng Jiexiu waved his hands repeatedly, "No need to pay, just eat it, the leaders. The leaders are busy with so many things every day and are so hard-working, I am willing to spend a few meat buns."
As she spoke, she glanced at Yu Hui who was cooking noodles. She saw that after the leaders ordered the noodles, Yu Hui took the money.
The leaders only gave her a reward of 200 yuan, but she was reluctant to even treat them to a bowl of noodles. She was so stingy.
Yu Hui realized that these words were meant to imply herself, and rolled her eyes.
Division Commander Zhan said sternly, "You have to give it to me. As a soldier, you can't take a single needle or thread from the people, let alone eat their food for free."
Zheng Jiexiu: "We are military dependents."
Division Commander Zhan: "Military families are also part of the people!"
Zheng Jiexiu: “…”
Zheng Jie Xiu didn't say how much the buns cost, and Xiao Zhao just gave her two dollars. She refused for a while, but finally accepted it.
"Auntie, please move aside. I'll take the upper seat." Gu Huai walked behind Zheng Jie Xiu while holding two bowls of noodles and said.
Zheng Jie Xiu looked back and took two steps to the side.
Gu Huai gave the two bowls of beef noodles to Division Commander Zhan and Political Commissar Gao first. Division Commander Zhan took out two pairs of chopsticks from the chopstick bucket and handed one pair to Political Commissar Gao.
"This beef noodle smells so good, and the meat is so filling." Division Commander Zhan said as he mixed the noodles with chopsticks. Before he finished mixing, he couldn't wait to take a bite of the beef.
"fragrant."
Gu Huai smiled and said, "Chief, please take your time eating."
After saying that, he went to help his wife.
Zheng Jie Xiu stood aside and felt a little embarrassed when he saw that Commander Zhan and the others did not try their own buns first, but instead started eating noodles.
Seeing that she was still not leaving, Xiao Zhao said, "Auntie, please go back first. I'll bring the porcelain basin back to you after you finish eating the buns."
"Okay, okay, then you guys take your time eating, Chief." Zheng Jie Xiu smiled awkwardly, and after turning around, the corners of his mouth drooped, as if he had put his warm face on a cold butt.
When Wen Zhaodi saw her coming back, she immediately asked, "What did the leaders say after eating our buns?"
Zheng Jiexiu: "...of course everyone said it was delicious."
"Pah." Wen Zhaodi clasped her hands together. "The chief also likes to eat our buns. That's great."
From now on, their bun shop can have another promotion: "Commander Zhan has tried it and said it's delicious."
Wen Zhaodi had eaten so many leftover buns that she could no longer tell whether the buns were good or bad. Even the smell of steamed buns in the morning would make her feel nauseous.
After Qian Lan deposited the money in the bank, she took the deposit slip and took the bus home.
She was in a hurry to go home to cook, and she didn't go into the noodle shop even though she passed by it.
When I got home, I found that the house was unusually quiet. Yu Zhuang and Bao Pandidi were sitting quietly in the main room, and Jiang Juan should be in the room with the child.
When Yu Lixin saw her coming back, he came to greet her.
"Mother."
"Are you hungry? I'll cook right away." Qian Lan said as she walked towards the kitchen.
Yu Lixin followed behind and said, "Grandma and Dad just went to the noodle shop to eat noodles, but it seems they didn't get to eat. When they came back, their faces were all black."
Qian Lan smiled and whispered, "They must have wanted to eat for free, but your Aunt Yu didn't let them."
They shouldn't be allowed to eat for free, but given their personalities, they'll probably make a fuss.
She didn't know what they were making a fuss about. She would ask them about it after Xiaoyu and the others came back from selling at noon.
Qian Lan prepared the meal skillfully, one dish of braised tofu, one of stir-fried cabbage, and a steamed egg custard for Yu Qiang.
She hurriedly finished her lunch and went to the hospital to deliver food to Yu Qiang and Yu Jianshe.
Yu Qiang's IV drip had finished. Qian Lan pushed open the door of the ward and walked in, and saw him standing in front of the window with his back to her.
Qian Lan frowned and closed the door with her backhand. "You're still sick and you're standing by the window chasing the wind. You're not afraid of a headache, are you?"
Yu Qiang turned around and said, "I think I'm well now and can be discharged from the hospital."
He just felt a little uncomfortable yesterday, but today he doesn't feel any discomfort at all.
"Whether it's good or not, it's not up to you to decide. The doctor has to decide."
"Where's Jianshe?" Qian Lan didn't see her eldest son.
"Going to the bathroom."
As soon as Yu Qiang finished speaking, Yu Jianshe pushed open the door and walked in.
"Mom, you're here."
"Well, come and have dinner." Qian Lan took out two lunch boxes from the net bag.
Yu Qiang sat on the edge of the bed, and Qian Lan pulled a stool to the bedside table for her son to sit on.
There was tofu, cabbage, and a little steamed egg in Yu Jianshe's lunch box, while there was only cabbage and steamed egg in Yu Qiang's lunch box. The doctor told him to have a light diet.
"My mom and the others are at home. Is everything okay?" Yu Qiang asked worriedly.
Qian Lan: "Li Xin said they went to the noodle shop this morning, but they didn't get to eat and came back with gloomy faces. I don't know if they caused any trouble in the noodle shop. I'll go back later and ask Xiao Yu and the others."
Yu Qiang felt his head hurt again. With his temper, how could he not cause trouble?
Yu Qiang only prayed that they would listen to him and restrain themselves, and not offend Xiao Yu and the others too much, otherwise he would really be too ashamed to see Gu Huai and Xiao Yu.
