Xie Xia said casually: "Just keep it simple, we still have to go back to school."

"How about we go to the staff cafeteria? For lunch today, we have pork with preserved vegetables, fried hairtail and cumin beef."

Xie Xia looked at Yun Mo, and Yun Mo nodded, "Okay."

Perhaps because she didn't want to disturb the two, Dong Jie took them to a separate meeting room and brought them two employee meals and two bowls of tea tree mushroom and pork ribs soup as quickly as possible.

I originally thought that the food in the cafeteria would taste average, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious that it's not inferior to that of the chefs in the hotel.

Yun Mo was surprised while eating, "Sister Xia, are the meals in your employee cafeteria so good?"

Xie Xia glanced at her with a smile, "You're dreaming. This is a treatment only middle-level managers above the supervisor level can enjoy. These dishes are not made in the cafeteria, but ordered from the restaurant."

Yun Mo suddenly realized, "No wonder, I thought the food in your employee cafeteria was so delicious."

"If you like, we can come over for lunch in the future."

"That's not necessary. You have to take a taxi to get here, and the round-trip fare is more expensive than this meal."

"I can ask the driver to pick me up at school at noon."

Yun Mo counted on her fingers, "The driver's salary, gasoline, and vehicle wear and tear are not cheaper than taking a taxi."

Xie Xia looked up at her and asked, "Are you short of money recently?"

"It's OK, but there are indeed a lot of places to spend money. My mother wants to open a bamboo weaving factory, and I also want to renovate the house in my hometown. In short, I have to be more careful with my budget."

Xie Xia nodded and said, "If you are having trouble with cash flow, you can ask my parents for an advance on part of the money."

Yun Mo smiled and said, "Don't worry, if there is any need, I will ask for it."

Xie Xia didn't say anything more and continued to eat. "When are you planning to go back to Anshi during the winter vacation?"

"After you finish your exams and arrange things for your family, you should be back soon. I'm worried that my mom and the others won't be able to handle the bamboo weaving factory."

"Just tell me before you leave, I'll ask the driver to take you."

Yun Mo was a little flattered, "Is it unnecessary?"

Facing Xie Xia's insistent eyes, Yun Mo quickly changed her words, "Okay, thank you Sister Xia."

"You're welcome. What specialties does Anshi have?"

Although Yun Mo has not lived in An City for a long time, she has kept in touch with the Huang family for the past six months. Through what she has seen and heard, she has really developed a deep affection for An City, as if it were her hometown.

"The more distinctive ones there are Lu'an Guapian, Gongxi, and Shencao Shihu. By the way, the wine there is also good. It is brewed using traditional ancient methods and has a sweet taste and a strong aftertaste."

"What else?"

"The rest is bamboo weaving. Every household in my grandfather's hometown knows how to weave bamboo. The tables, chairs, benches, beds, furniture, wardrobes, etc. at home are all woven by themselves."

Xie Xia suddenly glanced at her and said, "There's one more thing you forgot to tell me."

A question mark popped up in Yun Mo's mind, "What?"

"White goose."

Seeing Yun Mo in a daze, Xie Xia smiled a little, "I looked up some information on purpose. The two geese you gave me are a fine breed called Wanxi White Goose. This kind of goose has strong adaptability to the environment, is cold and heat resistant, grows fast, has tender and delicious meat, and has a high production of down. The quality of the down is excellent, and it is very suitable for making down products."

Yun Mo was a little uncertain, "Sister Xia, are you interested in their meat or their goose down?"

Xie Xia raised her eyebrows, "Why do we have to make a choice?"

“…”

In one word, so cruel.

"Sister Xia, goose meat is actually not very tasty. The meat is rather tough and not as smooth as chicken or duck meat. Goose meat is also an allergenic food and can easily cause allergies and gout..."

Just when Yun Mo was racking her brains to dissuade Xie Xia from eating goose meat, she found that the smile on Xie Xia's face was getting deeper and deeper.

Yun Mo suddenly understood, "Sister Xia, are you teasing me?"

"Those two geese have long been my brother's. If I dare to take them, my brother will blow the roof off the house."

"So I plan to take Dabai to be sterilized next year."

"…What about the eggs Erbai laid?"

“Steam it or pan-fry it.”

“You can bake a cake, too.”

"I haven't baked a cake with goose eggs yet, so I don't know if it tastes good."

“You can try.”

"Wait until Erbai lays eggs next year."

"Um."

Erbai: I have something to say, but I don’t know whether I should say it or not.

After dinner, Song Tingfeng took the initiative to help Liu Zhi clean up the dishes.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you see the bacon drying at home?"

Liu Zhi answered while washing the dishes, "I put them away because I was afraid that mice would notice them."

Song Tingfeng smiled awkwardly, "It's so cold, how can there be any mice?"

"Who knows? Some mice are thick-skinned and not afraid of the cold."

No matter how dumb Song Tingfeng was, she could tell that the other party was mocking her, but she couldn't say anything to refute it, otherwise wouldn't it be admitting that she was the "rat" who was thinking about the bacon? "Sister-in-law, my brother and Zhiqiu are setting up a factory together. In the future, you will be the boss's wife who enjoys a comfortable life. No wonder you are so stiff when you speak."

Liu Zhi glanced at the other party and said, "If you think being a boss is a good idea, you can also invest in a partnership with your own money."

"How can I have the money? Jianye hasn't paid me for several months, and my family is so poor that we can barely make ends meet. Sister-in-law, tell me the truth. Did Zhiqiu's daughter also take money from you to run this factory? How much did she take?"

"I am a woman, illiterate, and don't understand business matters."

Song Tingfeng certainly wouldn't believe it, "Oh, sister-in-law is treating me as an outsider and is on guard against me. Okay, if you don't tell me, I'll ask my brother and sister-in-law."

"Whatever you want."

Seeing Liu Zhi's cold attitude, Song Tingfeng didn't want to bother himself any more and turned around and left.

The meal was over, but the food was not found. There was no point in staying any longer, so Song Tingfeng prepared to pack up and go back to town.

"What are you doing?"

Just as Song Tingfeng stepped onto the stone stairs leading to the second floor, Huang Kailin, who was doing bamboo weaving in the yard, called her.

"Dad, I'm going to Zhiqiu's room to find a pair of shoes to wear. The leather shoes I'm wearing are uncomfortable to walk in."

"Zhiqiu doesn't have any extra shoes to lend you. Wait a minute, I'll find you a pair."

Huang Kailin got up and went back to his room. Soon he picked up a pair of small-sized straw sandals and threw them at Song Tingfeng's feet.

"You can go back wearing this, and you don't have to return it."

Looking at the straw sandals on the ground, Song Tingfeng's eyes almost popped out, "Dad, how can I wear this?"

"Why can't you wear it? Your mother, Zhiqiu and your sister-in-law can all wear it, but you can't?"

Song Tingfeng felt very aggrieved, "Who wears straw sandals in the middle of winter? I won't wear them!"

"It's up to you to wear it or not. If you don't want to wear it, forget it."

"I don't care. I'll go to Zhiqiu's room and find a pair of cloth shoes to wear."

As he was about to continue walking upstairs, Huang Kailin suddenly shouted, "Stop!"
