The twins took the pair of blue and white porcelain bowls to be appraised, and the result was that they were fake.
This pair of bowls is not worth that much money. Dad spent several hundred dollars to buy them because the fat man’s mother needed the money.
Lin Yining: "I want to tell the teacher that my father's friends like this pair of bowls very much."
Lin Yihong: “Well, think about how to say it more naturally.” He is also a person who is given special attention. Being given special attention by the teacher in class is sometimes a good thing and sometimes a bad thing.
After returning to school, Lin Yining took the opportunity to ask questions and said, "I accompanied my dad to visit someone's house on the weekend. Teacher, I saw the bowl that my dad bought from my aunt. It was from the same series as the one my uncle had at home. The uncle liked it very much."
The head teacher was stunned, "Did you see it at your father's friend's place?" Didn't that person say that this bowl was a fake one bought in wholesale?
Could it be that the real thing was mixed in with the fake one? If the other person likes this type of thing, he should know the real thing from the fake one.
If it's true...the head teacher felt relieved.
If it was true, he would not owe them any favor, and he would not have to pay back the money he was saving.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "As long as your uncle likes it."
Lin Yining nodded obediently, "Then teacher, I will go back to the classroom."
Walking back to the classroom, she gave Lin Yihong an OK gesture.
Lin Yihong nodded.
Fatty Chen Yi noticed it and asked, "What's the secret code between you two?"
Lin Yihong: "Oh, she admitted defeat and helped me wash my socks when she returned home."
Lin Yining: “Fuck you!”
Who's going to wash his stinky socks!
After that, their head teacher's attitude towards them was not so enthusiastic, which made the twins feel relieved.
…
Yu Xiangan attended the opening ceremony of a hotel chain. The other party started out as a hotel chain in Hong Kong and now has expanded its business to the Special Administrative Region.
The decoration is quite luxurious and magnificent. Seeing this decoration, people with little money in their pockets don’t have the courage to step in.
A lot of people came. He basically sent invitations to all the important people in the Special Administrative Region. Yu Xiangan saw Clayt, Lu Anran, Yu Mansheng, etc., as well as some other people with whom he had cooperative dealings. Many people came here to see the novelty.
Yu Xiangan first walked around the dining area.
Then we went to the guest rooms. The service and hardware were impeccable. At that time, they were all top-notch.
Yu Mansheng and Yu Xiangan are also working together to build a hotel, but it hasn't been completed yet. After he saw it, he felt a little nervous, "How much will it cost?" Their budget is not that high.
Yu Xiangan: "We follow different types, so don't compare yourself with them."
Different styles will target different audiences.
Part of the hotel's business is catering, and part is accommodation and services. In terms of catering, the other party prefers Western food and very little Chinese food, which is the opposite type of them.
Yu Mansheng nodded after hearing this, and it was indeed true.
But when it comes to food, he feels they are the winner.
He has a typical Chinese stomach. Eating Western food is fine for a while, but if he eats Western food three times a day, he will not be able to do it.
He goes to Western restaurants now more for the sake of face.
Chinese food is rich in variety and has a wide range of tastes. In their own country alone, there are eight major cuisines.
Speaking of dishes, Yu Xiangan thought of the chefs she had hired. Although she is now the boss and is busy with her daily life, she still exchanges ideas with them from time to time to keep herself from falling behind.
It is unacceptable to be complacent.
She now has several good chefs on her staff.
Clete also came over, "Yu, the hotel investment is also good."
One advantage of a hotel is that after it is built, the bulk of the cost has already been determined, and subsequent costs will not require too high. As long as the location is good, the service is not too bad, and the price is reasonable, you can just sit back and collect money, which is a very stable investment.
Yu Xiangan: "Clete, what do you prefer to eat?"
Clet: "I'm an omnivore. I like everything delicious. For example, the desserts here are good. I like them, especially the Black Forest Cake. Have you tried it? I suggest you try it."
This is indeed better than what Yu Xiangan did.
Yu Xiangan can also make cakes, but the quality of her cakes depends on who you compare them with. Compared with the cakes in ordinary small shops, her cakes are delicious, but if compared with professional Western pastry chefs, she is inferior.
But by the same token, the other person is good at making cakes, but he is no match for her in making Chinese cuisine.
Yu Xiangan tried it and was conquered by its soft texture: "It seems that you often come here for the cakes here."
Clete laughed: "That's right, don't worry, when your hotel opens, I will become a regular customer. Remember to leave me a copy of your discount card."
"This is necessary..."
After returning from the hotel, Yu Xiangan returned to the R&D department of the factory.
Most of her current products are based on her own recipes that she has accumulated over the years, but some of them are flavors developed by hired chefs.
When she arrived, the place was busy.
Yu Xiangan turned around and stopped at a man who was researching sesame paste.
The other person was a man in his thirties. The big boss was standing next to him. He was obviously nervous and stuttered when he spoke, "Hello!"
Yu Xiangan: "Hello everyone, have you encountered any difficulties?"
He shook his head: "No, it's going smoothly, these difficulties will be overcome soon!"
Seeing how nervous he was, Yu Xiangan nodded, said nothing more, and went to another training department.
The training department is also a very large kitchen, but it is different from the R&D department. The R&D department must keep secrets, and although the training department also needs to keep secrets, there are a lot more people here, and these chefs have many apprentices.
These apprentices are the basis for the expansion of Wuwei Restaurant.
In order to ensure that the taste does not change too much, it is necessary to train the chefs. Once they have mastered the skills, they can be sent out to ensure that the taste does not change too much.
No matter where you go to a Wuwei restaurant, you can always taste the familiar flavors.
Wang Xiaodong is eighteen years old and he has been here for a year. He has not been to school much and can only write his own name and do arithmetic from one to twenty. But he knows a little about cooking because his mother died early and his father works in the fields. As the eldest brother, he helps take care of his younger siblings and he cooks all the meals.
Children from poor families don't have so much division of labor, with men working outside and women working inside, and they have to do whatever is needed themselves, so it was easy for him to get started as an apprentice here, starting out as an assistant.
It doesn't take long to help out, and he gets food and accommodation every month, as well as a few dollars of apprenticeship subsidy.
These few dollars may not seem like a large amount, but given their family's situation, they are of great use.
If his brother wasn't so young, he would have wanted to come.
I worked hard at home, but I didn't have enough food to eat, warm clothes to wear, and no money.
After he came in, he worked as an apprentice for three months, and then he was slowly taught how to process ingredients and how to season them. The progress was not strictly based on time, but depended on the individual's level of mastery. If one mastered it early, the time could be shortened and he could enter the cooking stage earlier.
His talent is average, but hard work can make up for his shortcomings, and he will soon reach the stage where he can stand on his own.
When he is sent abroad, his salary will not be what it is now.
He has graduated. There are different levels depending on the store. At the beginning, the salary of the dispatched chef is the lowest among the chefs, but there is a basic salary of 45 yuan a month, and there is also a performance-based salary. This performance depends on the net profit of the store. If the net profit is high, the performance is considerable.
He had a fellow villager who came earlier than him and was a talented person. After studying for more than half a year, he was assigned to a store - he was assigned to Yangcheng, with a basic salary of 45 yuan, plus a performance bonus of more than 70 yuan, and an income of more than 100 yuan a month!
Make others envious.
In the past, he would not have dared to even think about it, but now he dares to think about it. Even if he does not make more than a hundred yuan a month, he should be able to make sixty or seventy, or even seventy or eighty yuan. With this salary, his father will not have to work so hard in the fields, and his younger brothers and sisters will go to school instead of getting up early and helping with the work.
When the family conditions improve a little, he will save money to buy a small house, marry a wife and have a child, and then his life will be complete.
Wang Xiaodong was thinking about his future. He looked up and saw his mentor talking to a woman. He looked closely and realized that was not their boss? ? !
I saw the boss roll up his sleeves and cook with his chef.
The technique is very skillful.
It's magical to say the least.
He had heard from his master that the chef was not a chef at all, but a college student who had just taken the college entrance examination. He was a factory worker before, but he didn't know where he got his cooking skills from.
It's better than what they learned in elementary school. I don't know what to say.
He also knew that people like them who had received training for a year or two were different from those who had studied since childhood.
All they can master are the restaurant's dishes, which are fixed. It will not be easy to improve in the future.
But the masters are different.
They have their own specialties.
Yu Xiangan and the chef each made a dish of Kung Pao Chicken.
After sitting down for one dish, Yu Xiangan felt much better, and then clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, "I wonder if there are any chefs who have studied dim sum, whether it is Chinese dim sum or Western dim sum. If so, go to the assistant and fill out a form. If you have friends or old acquaintances, you are welcome to recommend them. We are sincerely recruiting. You know our treatment and you will not be disappointed."
Dim sum is a weak point.
Yu Xiangan wants to make up for this shortcoming.
…
Yu Xiangan's career is booming and its expansion is visible to the naked eye. Lin Chuanbai is not much behind, but he is more reserved.
Others don’t know easily.
He received another award.
Although he is considered young in research, his age does not equal his research results.
The projects he handled were not very difficult, but he was very fast and lucky, so he would not take too many detours among the many sequence sortings and would always find the one that stood out.
This is talent!
They didn't know that Lin Chuanbai had used Yu Xiangan's gold finger processing workshop to conduct processing experiments. He already had a finished product and then reversed it in reality.
In this way, his accuracy rate will certainly be high.
Because he already knows about many of his failures, he won't do them all over again.
His university mentor also gave him a special gift, a notebook.
The notebook contains a lot of notes he had made before. Flipping through it, you can see some of his ideas and some doubts he had about later experiments, etc. It is very inspiring and Lin Chuanbai benefited a lot from it.
Lin Chuanbai has no plans to start his own business at this stage. If he wants to get involved in the pharmaceutical industry, there are many restrictions in this regard. Lin Chuanbai wants to find a pharmaceutical factory that can't continue to operate and can only seek external capital injection, which will be more convenient when the time comes.
The pharmaceutical factory is not cheap, and most of his money now is earned by Yu Xiangan. The skin care products he makes are good, but just good. When food, clothing, housing and transportation are not adequately guaranteed, the pursuit of more beauty will always be put behind.
He will have to wait a little longer.
In a blink of an eye, winter vacation is here.
Yu Qingshan had been looking forward to his children's winter vacation.
Wen Ruzhen is a university teacher. She also has winter vacation and came with her three children.
Yu Xiangqing teaches in high school, so she didn't stay for too long. She had to go back to tutor her students. She left the children there for one night and then went back.
Yu Xianghai's twins also came soon.
In their generation, Yu Mingjie is the oldest. Not only has he graduated from college, he also has a partner and is about to have the next generation born. The oldest children under him are his younger brother and sister, Yu Mingfeng and Yu Mingyao. This twin boy and girl are about to go to high school.
Next is Yu Xiangyan’s eldest daughter, Yu Xiyi.
Among the four siblings who are married and have children, Yu Xiangqing gave birth to Yan Ming the latest, but he is already twelve years old this year.
They are not children.
No one would worry about leaving it to Yu Qingshan.
We just lived there casually before, but now that everyone is here, Yu Qingshan asked: "Do you think the room is too monotonous? Would you be happy if you could decorate your own room?"
Now the house has tiled floors and white-painted walls. It doesn't have too many decorations and is very ordinary. The beds and wardrobes inside are all custom-made. They are not exactly the same, but they are from the same series and look similar.
Yu Xiangan suggested that the suite model be used at the beginning, and then when everyone arrived, let the children make the decision and let them decorate their rooms themselves, so that everyone would have something to talk about when they get along with each other.
Yu Qingshan agreed. Looking at their suddenly interested faces, he smiled and said, "See these three big boxes? There are things in them that you might need. Open them and write down anything you want in the notebook above."
At this, these young boys and girls were overjoyed, including Lin Yihong and Lin Yining.
The two of them didn't expect to be allowed to decorate the house by themselves, and their parents didn't care. They said it was up to them and they could decorate it however they wanted.
Now, everyone is excited and opens the box to see what is inside.
"How do you want to position your bed?"
“I like the pattern of this quilt.”
"I like this little box. It has many functions."
“These pillows are so cute, I want them.”
The original unfamiliarity gradually disappeared through such communication.
Adults can also see something about their personal character from their decorating style.
Speaking of which, the person the twins are least familiar with is Yan Ming. They are only one year apart in age, but they couldn't remember anything when they were young. When they could remember, they each followed their parents to college and left. After that, they only came back to see each other occasionally. There were so many people, they would play for a while and then leave again.
Yan Ming was not familiar with these cousins, but he was not introverted. He decorated his house with boys of similar age and quickly became familiar with them.
Yu Xiangan went to take a look after they had finished their work.
Yu Mingfeng's room is mainly blue, with a poster of a star and a basketball on the table. He likes basketball very much.
Yu Mingyao's room turned into a refreshing green. As soon as she entered, she was surrounded by the refreshing green.
She placed a circle of various dolls at the head of the bed.
Next to the pillow, she placed a rag doll.
There are many potted plants in Yu Xiyi's room.
There are green ivy, forsythia, cactus, and potted oranges.
She also posted a piece of calligraphy in the room.
She likes calligraphy and has been practicing it for several years.
Next down is his younger brother Yu Xiling, whose room has been turned into black.
There is black and white checkered wallpaper on the wall, and a flying eagle ornament on his desk.
Next is Yu Xiyi’s younger sister Yu Xiwan. Her room is pink and has many pink bunnies.
You can tell at a glance how much the owner of this room loves rabbits.
Then there is Lin Yihong’s room, with a poster of blue, the sea, and a whale.
There are many photos of celebrities in Lin Yining's room, both male and female, and the common point is that they are all very good-looking.
Finally, it was Yan Ming. His room had not been modified much, with the exception of an additional hanging rack where he placed his favorite wind chime.
Yu Xiangan had an idea of what to do after seeing this, and took out a schedule for them to choose from.
This class is very relaxing because it is an interest class and there are no mandatory requirements. In the morning, we spend one or two hours listening to the teacher talk about some world anecdotes or interest expansion, such as musical instruments and painting. In the afternoon, there is sports class and the teacher takes them to play basketball and football.
The rest of the time is for free activities. Since the place is big enough, a basketball court can be created by clearing the flat ground in front. Not many boys can resist the charm of basketball.
In addition to basketball classes, a lot of the rest of the time is also spent on basketball. Girls' hobbies are different from boys'. Yu Xiangan bought them a complete set of dolls, and they are now keen on making clothes for the dolls.
Yu Xiyi is extremely talented and the clothes she makes are the most beautiful.
Lin Yining was not so good, the clothes he made were crooked.
But she had a lot of fun herself.
Wen Ruzhen is not very happy staying here. She also lives here. She likes to go out to see the changes here, go to Guangzhou to see the universities there, and visit her father. Her life is very fulfilling.
After a busy day, Yu Xiangyan returned home alone: "..."
It’s too lonely!
For these kids here, it feels like time flies by quickly if they aren't paying attention.
Yan Ming felt that he had experienced a lot of things.
When his mother sent him to live with his grandfather, he was a little nervous, worried that his grandfather would not like him after a long time and whether he would be able to get used to the environment here. However, it turned out that he was overthinking.
There was nothing strange about it, and he brought some clothes with him, but when he opened his closet, it was full of clothes that were the right size for him.
He decorated the room himself. He could decorate it however he wanted. He was very free and no one would criticize him.
For three meals a day, grandpa would take them out for breakfast. There were rich varieties of food, including porridge, vermicelli, noodles, buns, dumplings, pancakes, soy milk, fried dough sticks, and milk. They could choose whatever they wanted.
Lunch was delivered to them, so they didn't have to order, but they didn't have to worry about whether there was anything they liked, because there were many varieties of dishes and the portions were not large. They could try everything, a little of this and a little of that, and they would be full. He ate a lot of things he had never eaten before.
Both my parents have jobs, and their family is small, so their income is okay. But when it comes to food, my parents are not particularly particular. As long as they have meat and rice, they are good enough. But after coming here, there are many more ways to eat.
Everything from flying in the sky, swimming in the water, and running on the ground can be made into a delicious dish at the Eighteen Vegetable Market, which is really a feast for the eyes. Moreover, this place is close to the sea, so he ate a lot of seafood. What surprised him the most was that one time he ate a huge crab, which was incredibly big, as big as his face!
Although the crab is so big and there is not much meat inside, it is still amazing.
The taste is not the point, nor is the portion. The point is that he has never eaten such a big crab!
Yan Ming has already thought about how he will share his experiences here with his friends when he returns.
He used to play basketball, but there were not many basketball courts, and they were too young to compete with the bigger ones. But here, they don’t have to compete, as they have their own basketball court and a special teacher to teach them. Yan Ming feels that his basketball skills have improved a lot.
And when I'm with these cousins, there are always people around wherever I go and I won't be alone.
He also learned to paint. The teacher said that the eagle he drew was very lively. He was very happy and he liked eagles the most.
As the Chinese New Year was approaching, he called his mother, who asked him, "It's almost Chinese New Year, can I come pick you up?"
Yan Ming: "...Mom, didn't you say that we will celebrate the New Year at grandpa's place this year?" He didn't want to go back at all. He missed his parents so that he could call them and hear their voices. Life would not be as rich as it was here if he went back. If his parents wanted to see him, they could do so when school started. He wanted to stay here.
On the other end of the phone, Yu Xiangqing, who had only jokingly asked him if he wanted to come back but was politely rejected by his son, said, "..."
This kid betrayed her so quickly. Before leaving, he told her to bring him home early, but now he is unwilling to go home.
"Okay, it seems like you're having a great time there. Mom and Dad are planning to leave for that place tomorrow. This year, you'll be spending the New Year at your grandpa's place."
"That's great!" Yan Ming cheered.
Then he remembered: "Do grandpa and grandma agree?"
Yu Xiangqing: "Your grandparents agree. Mom and Dad rarely spend the New Year with your grandpa. It's a rare opportunity for them to go. Why would they disagree?"
That's good.
"Mom, then you guys should come earlier. Auntie said that when you all come, we can take a family photo at the beach. The photos are so beautiful. I saw the photos that Yihong and the others took before. He was wearing a knight's suit. I want to wear one too..."
Yu Xiangan came in, listened to the end, and waved his hand: "Knight costume? Take a picture! In addition to the knight costume, there is also a prince costume. Do you want to take a few pictures too?"
Yu Xiangqing on the other end of the phone: "..."
As an aunt, you should not spoil your child too much and give him whatever he wants.
Yu Xiangan answered the phone: "Don't worry, I know my limits. Be careful on your way out. I'll send someone to pick you up. It's rare that we're all here this year."
Yu Xiangqing: "When will my second brother come back?"
Yu Xiangan: "We are already on the way."
Yu Xiangqing: "Where's my little brother?"
Yu Xiangan: "He bought his ticket two days later than you..."
During the Chinese New Year, Zhao Qiaoniang and Ding Minxiu returned to Baishi County.
However, they waited for a long time, and the Chinese New Year was approaching, but not only Yu Xiangju, but even no one from the Yu family came back.
Ding Minxiu's expression changed.
Where did they all go?
After asking around, I found out that the family was spending the New Year in the Special Administrative Region and would not be returning this year.
Ding Minxiu frowned.
The Special Administrative Region is so big, how can we know where they are?
Her grandson was born, but because her daughter-in-law acted too violently during pregnancy, the baby was not healthy. Most of the money the family had saved was given to the hospital.
Zhao Qiaoniang fell ill twice this year and spent all the money she earned on medical treatment. She asked the doctor privately, and the doctor said that her health had been damaged too much before, and this was normal for her age, and she needed to take good care of herself.
Otherwise this situation is inevitable.
Ding Minxiu made up her mind to find Yu Xiangju at that time.
After all, she was the one who brought up Yu Xiangju, so shouldn't he bear part of the medical expenses?
Although she was born to Zhao Qiaoniang, she was a daughter and it was her son's responsibility to take care of her in her old age.
