When Yu Zhen's family came back from Yue's house, they passed by the state-owned hotel and saw that the lights were still on at this time.
"Dad, is your state-owned restaurant now trying to make money? It's still open late at night." Yu Jiaxing asked curiously.
"I haven't heard of them operating at night. They're all paid. Who would do business at this time without being paid? Let's go see what's going on."
Leaving the lights on late at night is a waste of electricity. Who is doing private things in there? This is not allowed.
Yu Zhen took Yu Jiaxing out of the car and walked into the state-owned hotel, but there was no one there.
"Is there no chance of being robbed?" Yu Zhen asked worriedly.
"What thief would dare to be so brazen and turn on the light?"
"There seems to be a sound behind, let's go check it out."
Yu Jiaxing walked in front, and Yu Zhen followed behind with a broom.
Yu Jiaxing walked to the back and saw someone roasting something over a fire, and also heard the sound of beer bottles colliding. Although the light was not very bright, Yu Jiaxing still recognized Zhang Qiu's voice.
"Uncle Zhang, what are you doing? My dad thought there was a thief in the restaurant."
"Xiangnan and Section Chief Yang are coming over for a barbecue tonight. We're preparing it right now." Zhang Qiu stood up and said hello, "Brother-in-law, why are you here so late?"
"I just came back from my grandma's house and passed by here. I saw the lights on, so I came to take a look." Yu Jiaxing replied.
Xiangnan waved to them and said, "Come and eat together."
Yu Jiaxing quickly squatted over and asked, "What is this? Why does it smell so good? It looks delicious, and it smells like meat."
Xia Wanshu quickly took a chicken leg in his hand and said, "Brother Jiaxing, you can eat the rest. My hands are sore from roasting this chicken leg. You can't take it from me."
She took another one and put it in Xiangnan's hand: "One for Sister Xiangnan, and one for me."
Xiangnan smiled and said, "Tear it open and let everyone taste a little. Wanshu roasted this chicken leg really well. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It's absolutely delicious."
She tore off half of it and handed it to Yang Xiao: "Brother Yang, give me half."
Yang Xiao took it and took a bite: "This meat is so tender, and there's oil in it. Xiangnan, you seasoned it really well. Even I, who hate eating chicken legs, think it's delicious."
If all chicken legs could taste like this, he would still hate chicken legs.
Xiangnan handed the chicken leg to Yu Zhen: "Manager Yu, have one. Since the boss is here, Brother Yang doesn't have to pay for the meal today. If Boss Yu is satisfied with the meal, the bill can be waived."
Yu Zhen took the chicken leg and said, "Okay, you're quite confident. I'll see if the taste is enough to make me willing to treat you."
Yu Zhen took it to his nose and sniffed it: "Don't say it, this smell really makes me drool."
Yang Xiao said, "Xiangnan got the owner of the private restaurant in the city, Qian, to waive all her future meals because of a dish of lion's head. Is that why Manager Yu only waived this one meal for her?"
Yu Zhen took a bite and said, "The meat is really tender, and the seasoning is not dry but oily and fresh. It's really good. Okay, next time I come to the state-owned restaurant, I'll turn 70% south. I can still do this."
Xiangnan, can we take this thing to our private restaurant and sell it? Can we get any business?"
Xiangnan asked, "Are you really planning to open a restaurant?"
"The storefront has been rented, and we're just waiting for you to invest."
He only dared to start the business because he had Xiangnan’s technical investment, otherwise it would be difficult to make money.
"Okay, Manager Yu, that's straightforward. I'll invest 500 yuan, and I'll also invest in marketing ideas and dishes. You run the business, and we'll split the profits 50-50. How about that?"
"Okay, it's settled. Let's prepare the storefront and it will open in a few days. This is my son Yu Jiaxing." Yu Zhen introduced Yu Jiaxing.
"Hello, Brother Yu." Xiangnan handed him a bottle of beer: "Let's celebrate the success of our partnership."
Yu Jiaxing took it and said with a smile, "You must be Xiangnan. Nice to meet you. The roasted chicken legs are really delicious."
"Brother Yu and Brother Yang are the economic pillars of our county. Our county's development depends on you two."
Yu Jiaxing shook his head: "How can I compare with Section Chief Yang? I'm just a small clerk."
"Follow Section Chief Yang. Brother Yang is dedicated to the economic development of the entire county. Our county has a bright future." Xiangnan was very happy. With people like Yang Xiao, An County will not stagnate and will develop ahead of other counties.
So she was willing to help him with some ideas on how to make money, but that was all she could do.
She is really not good at being an official.
"Of course." Yu Jiaxing raised his beer and said to Yang Xiao, "Chief Yang, I toast to you!"
Yang Xiao picked up the bottle and drank it in one gulp.
A few people were drinking and eating barbecue together. They were in high spirits, but Xiangnan felt a little sleepy after eating. The store had to open tomorrow, so she had to get up early to pack things.
"I'll go back first. You guys take your time drinking." Xiangnan stood up. Although she didn't drink much, her face turned red when she drank, and she felt like she was drunk.
Yang Xiao stood up and said, "I'll take you home."
"No need for you to talk to them. It's just a few steps away. I can get back by myself."
The vegetable market is not far from the state-owned restaurant, and the night stalls there have not been closed yet. There should be no danger on the road, and there is generally no need to worry about a few petty thieves heading south.
She was not afraid, but Yang Xiao was. How could he let her go back alone at night? He picked up the key and followed her.
"Brother Yang, we're a single man and a single woman, so people won't say anything bad about us. I'm also afraid my wife will be unhappy. Go back and eat."
"Brother Yang, I'll go with you to send Xiangnan back, and we'll come back to eat later. You still need to pack some food to take back for your parents." Xia Wanshu also followed out.
"Okay, you two can give me a ride together, thank you." Xiangnan thought that they were also worried about him, and it wouldn't take more than a few minutes to give them a ride.
The market has a security department and there are patrols at night, so Xiangnan is not afraid.
Yang Xiao sent Xiangnan to the storefront, watched her close the door, and then got into the car.
Xia Wanshu glanced at him from the passenger seat and said, "Brother Yang, you like Sister Xiang Nan, right?"
Yang Xiao shook his head: "Don't talk nonsense, I treat her as my sister."
Xia Wanshu chuckled: "Then does Brother Yang consider me his younger sister?"
Yang Xiao didn't hesitate: "Of course."
"But Brother Yang never walked me home, never handed me things while I was eating, and never peeled shrimp for me."
When we were eating crayfish today, Yang Xiao kept helping Xiangnan peel the shrimps.
When Xiangnan felt spicy, he handed her water. When Xiangnan's hands were dirty, he handed her a tissue. As a lady, Xiangnan was used to being served and didn't find anything wrong.
But Xia Wanshu saw it all. If he didn't care about someone, how could he always pay attention to what she needed and pay attention to her?
Why does Xia Wanshu pay attention to Yang Xiao? Because she likes Yang Xiao.
She felt upset, so she wanted to speak out on the spot.
She knew that it was impossible for Yang Xiao and Sister Xiang Nan to be together. She wanted Yang Xiao to give up on Sister Xiang Nan and let him see herself.
Yang Xiao smiled and said, "Then I'll help you peel shrimp next time. Xiangnan and I have a good relationship. I admire her very much, so I will take better care of her."
Xia Wanshu looked at Yang Xiao and said, "Brother Yang, let's get in touch more often in the future. I also want to have a good relationship with you and be taken care of by you."
