Chapter 126 The swallows are about to fly away
. The next day.
Du Shaojie continued to rest.
The unit gradually got back on track and became busy. The next weekend, the Chinese restaurant took on 10 banquets, so he took a day off today.
After breakfast, Xiaomei and Xiaoya went to school together.
Du Shaojie waited for Wang Yuxiu to clean up the house, and then he took two [Dezhou Braised Chicken] and took her to the People's Hospital.
It took a lot of effort to persuade his mother to go to the hospital for an examination, but fortunately, Wang Yuxiu finally agreed.
"Mom, you sit for a while, I'll be back soon."
Du Shaojie asked his mother to sit on the first floor for a while, and he first sent the two chickens to Wang Liwen's residence.
When he came back, he happened to see Wang Liwen talking to her mother. It was agreed in advance
to bring Wang Yuxiu for a physical examination. Wang Liwen left the office when she saw that the time was almost up, and she saw Wang Yuxiu on the first floor.
The next step was to register and do the examination. Wang Liwen took her throughout the whole process, which saved a lot of time. However, the means of examination are limited these days, and there are not many examination items.
After the results came out, Wang Liwen went to the director of internal medicine to help take a look.
"Nothing serious, just a few chronic diseases. I prescribe some medicine, which needs to be taken for a long time. Pay attention to rest and nutrition, and don't overwork."
In the past two years, Wang Yuxiu's health has improved a lot, but she still can't do heavy work.
But she doesn't want to be idle. Since she has a sewing machine at home, she has taken some small jobs of cutting and sewing from time to time, and Du Shaojie can't stop her no matter what.
Now that he has heard the expert's opinion, he is relieved.
Thanking the person, and then going to pay the fee to get the medicine, Wang Liwen sent Du Shaojie and Wang Yuxiu out of the hospital.
"I brought you two [Dezhou Braised Chicken] and put them in the room."
Before parting, Du Shaojie whispered to Wang Liwen.
Wang Liwen was overjoyed, and she could just add a dish at lunch. Coming to a new unit, she also needs to get along well with her colleagues, and bringing some delicious food to share with everyone is a good way.
As the weather became colder and colder, a heavy snow came unexpectedly.
After breakfast, Wang Xuejun asked everyone to stop what they were doing and go to the hotel to shovel snow. The snow was not even above his calves. If Du Shaojie had not stayed in the dormitory at night, he would not have been able to ride his bike to work.
This busy work lasted until eleven o'clock in the morning. Du Shaojie and others returned to the kitchen and did not take a break. They quickly began to prepare various materials for lunch.
"Master Du, someone is looking for you outside."
Du Shaojie was busy when he heard someone calling him.
He ran out and saw Qi Yan standing in the lobby with a smile on her face.
"Shaojie, I got the admission letter, the education major of Beijing Normal University."
Looking at Du Shaojie who was walking towards her, Qi Yan took out the admission letter and waved it gently in her hand.
Du Shaojie felt that Qi Yan was shining all over at this moment.
Qi Yan's originally beautiful face was full of confidence and pride, making her charming. Everything around her seemed to become her foil, and only she was the most dazzling.
Du Shaojie was in a trance for a moment, then he calmed down and took the admission letter from the other party.
After reading it carefully twice, he couldn't help laughing: "Congratulations, Yan Zi! Not only did you get into college as you wished, but you were also admitted to such a good school."
"Shaojie, you also contributed a lot here. If you hadn't urged me to pick up my homework, if you hadn't judged that the college entrance examination would be resumed soon, maybe everything would be different!"
Qi Yan looked at Du Shaojie gently, speaking softly and expressing her thoughts.
Du Shaojie waved his hands and said disapprovingly: "It has nothing to do with me. You can have what you have today entirely because of your own efforts."
It was not until this moment that he truly understood the true meaning of what Wang Liwen said that day.
Yes, Yan Zi is really going to fly away, flying to the vast sky. From then on, the worlds of the two will no longer be the same.
Perhaps sensing Du Shaojie's mood change, Qi Yan slowly put away her smile and asked, "Can I ask for leave now? Or I'll come after you get off work at noon. I want to go out for a walk with you."
"I'm busy right now, so it's hard to ask for leave. Why don't you go to my dormitory and sit for a while. When I'm done, I'll get some food and go back to eat together."
Du Shaojie smiled, then gave Qi Yan the key to the dormitory and told her the specific room number.
Qi Yan took the key and went to his dormitory happily.
Du Shaojie sorted out his mood and went back to work.
"Xiao Du, who is that girl to you? She's so beautiful. If you have something to do, you can leave after making the big plate chicken. I'll take care of the rest."
Dong Yunxian had seen Qi Yan before and thought that the girl might be Du Shaojie's partner.
In fact, at the moment, Du Shaojie's personal conditions are still very good, and he is definitely a son-in-law that his mother-in-law likes very much.
He has good looks and is already a second-level chef at a young age. If you marry him, are you afraid that you won't have a good life in the future?
"She is my classmate. Thank you, Master Dong. I will leave after I finish making the [Da Pan Ji]. Please take care of her."
Du Shaojie did not explain too much, but accepted Dong Yunxian's kindness.
Nowadays, [Big Plate Chicken] has become a specialty dish in the hotel's Chinese restaurant. Basically, there is a relatively fixed sales volume every day, so he needs to make a large pot.
After it was done, Du Shaojie ordered two meals and went to the dormitory.
"Oh, it's great to have [Big Plate Chicken] to eat!"
Qi Yan saw the big plate chicken and belt noodles, and her big eyes smiled into crescents.
She grabbed a meal without hesitation and started eating, with an intoxicated expression on her face, which made Du Shaojie laugh.
"Yanzi, when are you going to school to report?"
Du Shaojie knew when the college entrance examination would be resumed, but he didn't know some subsequent things.
Because this college entrance examination was held in winter, and the general school season was in autumn, he was a little confused about the situation.
"After the Spring Festival next year, I have to leave around the Lantern Festival, and I must report to school before the end of February."
Qi Yan told him that their class will start in spring, and the school system will not change.
Du Shaojie said "Ah" in understanding. This situation will be unique in the next few decades.
The two chatted while eating. After finishing, Qi Yan went to wash the dishes, and then left the dormitory together.
It was sunny after the snow, and Du Shaojie and Qi Yan were in a good mood. The snow on the road was basically cleaned up. He rode his bicycle with Qi Yan and ran slowly to Chunfeng Lane.
"Shaojie, will you come to the school to see me?"
"I will definitely go if I have the chance. Beijing, I also want to see it."
"Yeah, when you go, I will take you to visit all the scenic spots and historical sites in Beijing. It's a pity that there is no place to cook, otherwise I will definitely let you show off your skills."
It didn't take long to arrive at Qi Yan's home.
She jumped off the bicycle, waved to Du Shaojie, and walked into the house.
Du Shaojie took a deep breath, and didn't go home. He rode his bicycle directly back to the unit.
He actually had a lot to say to Qi Yan, but in the end he didn't say it.
The other party is a well-deserved "proud daughter of heaven". This time, 5.7 million people took the college entrance examination nationwide, and only about 240,000 people were finally admitted.
Four years later, these people will move to new jobs and become the object of everyone's envy.
Of course, Du Shaojie himself will not belittle himself. He thinks that if they are destined to meet, they will see each other again in four years. As for going to Beijing to visit Qi Yan in the meantime, he doesn't know if there is a chance.
There is a high probability that there is no chance.
However, things are often so wonderful. After a few days, he saw the hope of fulfilling his promise.
That afternoon, Du Shaojie was busy in the kitchen, and Wang Xuejun called him to Yao Liwen's office.
"Master Du, according to the notice from the superiors, the Ministry of Commerce will take the lead in organizing the National Youth Vocational Skills Competition for the Beverage Service System. The competition will be divided into several competition areas, and we belong to the Northwest Competition Area.
The preliminary and semi-finals will be held in each competition area, and the winning players will go to Beijing to participate in the semi-finals and finals. The opportunity is rare, and the bureau has decided that you will represent the unit in the competition. The preliminary competition will be held on January 3 next year."
Yao Liwen didn't say too much nonsense. After briefly explaining the situation, he handed the document to Du Shaojie and let him read it himself.
Du Shaojie read it once, put the document on the desk, and said with a smile: "There is no problem with participating in the competition, but I can't guarantee what kind of results I can achieve in the end."
"Okay! Just do your best. The company will create all the necessary conditions for you. The semi-finals will be held in the ancient capital Chang'an. As long as you enter the semi-finals, you can be off-duty. Do you understand?"
"I understand."
Du Shaojie quickly figured out the competition system. The five northwestern provinces belong to the same competition area. The preliminary rounds are held by each province, and the winners will go to Chang'an to participate in the semi-finals.
However, he automatically ignored Yao Liwen's last sentence. What do you mean you can be off-duty as long as you enter the semi-finals? People go to Chang'an to participate in the competition, can they still work at the same time?
But he soon realized that he was superficial.
From now on, Du Shaojie will only work half a day, working normally from morning to noon, and he can freely practice his cooking skills in the afternoon. You can practice whatever you want, and arrange it yourself.
If you practice cooking, you can choose the dishes ordered by the guests to make at will, provided that you don't smash the restaurant's signboard.
It is also possible to study outside, but this competition covers the entire catering system. The individual represents the honor of the unit. It is estimated that at this critical juncture, everyone will put the interests of the unit first.
A few days passed quickly.
New Year's Day of 1978 arrived.
Du Shaojie was on a day off today. He went to the kitchen early in the morning to check the [Dezhou Braised Chicken] in the soup bucket. The quality was still as stable as ever.
He spent New Year's Eve in the kitchen at home. Su Dapeng sent 20 white-striped chickens yesterday and filled two large vats with water in advance.
"This guy, is he really selling [Dezhou Braised Chicken] outside?"
As soon as he finished muttering, Su Dapeng walked in from outside.
Su Dapeng heard what Du Shaojie said to himself in the kitchen, so he curled his lips as soon as he entered the kitchen:
"How much can you sell it for? This is called resource exchange, understand? The benefits are huge."
