At night.
Du Shaojie opened the light curtain in his room.

Du Shaojie couldn't help laughing when he saw it. This time the reward came too timely, otherwise at the critical moment, if the duration was not enough, he couldn't even "cheat".
Huaiyang cuisine can be practiced more in the future.
Du Shaojie was too tired today, and he didn't want to do anything else, so he fell asleep directly.
When he got up the next morning, there was no one at home except him.
Xiaoya had to go to school for morning self-study, so she had to arrive early. Wang Yuxiu had developed the habit of eating breakfast in the canteen of the medical school.
He went to the street corner to buy two servings of tofu pudding and a few buns, and went directly to Liang Meiqin's house.
"Meiqin, have you eaten?"
"Not yet. My mother left some food for me before going to work. I just finished washing up and didn't have time to eat."
"I brought tofu pudding and buns, they are still hot, let's eat together."
Du Shaojie rode his bike over from the street corner in just a few minutes. The food was packed in an insulated lunch box, so it was impossible for it to get cold.
He then pulled Liang Meiqin to sit down at the table, and the two of them had breakfast together.
Liang Meiqin has no problem eating by herself now. She just can't see clearly, not that she can't see at all.
"Shaojie, I want to go to work in the unit in a few days, but they told me to stay at home to recuperate and don't want to assign me any work."
Liang Meiqin is usually alone at home, and Liang's mother can only come back to cook for her at noon. Being
alone at home with nothing to do, she can't help but feel a little anxious.
"It's just a name, and they're afraid that something will happen to you at work, and it'll be hard to explain. If you're bored, listen to the radio, or wait until the weather is good, and I'll take you to a restaurant."
Du Shaojie could understand Liang Meiqin's concerns. They were just keeping an idle person, and if something happened to her at work every day, no one would be able to explain. If it were him, he wouldn't assign her a specific job.
However, people are afraid of loneliness, and he felt that he should think of a way.
In the morning, he went to the department store and took a look at the tape recorders. There were very few styles, and now the main ones were "turning head" tape recorders. He asked the salesperson to take one and take a look. It was a "Sanyo" brand.
The sound quality of this thing was average, and it was convenient to carry, but it was very expensive, 280 yuan per unit, and a ticket was required.
Money was not a problem, but he didn't have a ticket, so he had to turn around and leave.
There was no need to ask others for such a small matter. He ran to the Chinese restaurant and asked Dong Yunxian, and the other party was able to get a ticket.
When he arrived at the private restaurant at noon, he was holding two "turn-head" tape recorders.
There were also a lot of tapes, which were bought in the market and transcribed. According to later generations, these tapes were pirated, but he had no place to buy genuine tapes.
When he got home in the evening, he knocked on Xiaoya's door.
"Brother, come in and sit down. I just need to rest for ten minutes."
Xiaoya had endless exercise books and papers to do every day. After entering high school, she was obviously much more tired than in junior high school.
When she saw her brother, she smiled and pulled Du Shaojie in.
Then she noticed that her brother was holding a bag in his hand.
"Don't look at it. This is for you. Brick tape recorder. I also bought you a few English tapes. You can learn from them."
As he spoke, Du Shaojie took out a "brick" from the bag.
In his opinion, this brick tape recorder was really ugly and the sound quality was not very good, but it was still okay to use it to learn English. When Xiaoya goes to college, I can buy her a portable tape recorder with four speakers, which can be used to listen to English and songs.
"Wow, it's so beautiful! Brother, you are so great. I heard that Li Xiaohui in our class has such a tape recorder. Several people said they wanted to go to her house to see it, but she didn't agree."
Xiaoya jumped three feet high with joy and grabbed Du Shaojie's arm and refused to let go.
Du Shaojie struggled for a long time before breaking free, and then taught his sister how to use it correctly.
"Xiaoya, you are a big girl now, I won't say anything else. In short, this machine is for you to study. You can listen to songs during your breaks, but don't let it affect your studies."
Du Shaojie left a few boxes of tapes for his sister and walked out.
Fortunately, the tape recorder is not like a TV, and Xiaoya is also a relatively obedient child, so there should be no problem.
The next morning.
After getting up, Du Shaojie still took breakfast to Liang Meiqin's house and brought her a tape recorder.
"Meiqi, if you are tired of listening to the radio, you can listen to some songs. These tapes are here for you, you can listen to whatever you want. Come, I will teach you how to use it."
Du Shaojie played a tape of Teresa Teng, and when the melody sounded, Liang Meiqi was immediately immersed in the singing.
As she listened, she suddenly threw herself into Du Shaojie's arms and started crying.
It was hard to tell whether she was moved by the singing or by Du Shaojie's actions.
After a long time, the two separated. Du Shaojie wrung a towel and wiped Liang Meiqin's face. He had to wipe it off, because her face was crying like a little cat, and his clothes were all wet.
At noon.
Du Shaojie and Zhong Fuxiang prepared three tables of banquets together, one of which was reserved by Ma Zijian from the First Construction Company of the City. The other party invited relevant personnel from the Party A unit to dinner.
Since it was a business matter, Du Shaojie did not give him a discount, but gave him two packs of cigarettes when he left.
"Master Du, you are polite, aren't you?"
"Manager Ma, we are friends, and I don't smoke, so just take it."
Ma Zijian refused for a while, and then stopped pulling.
He just said that the guests today were very satisfied with the food, and he had a banquet in two days, so he asked Du Shaojie to reserve a private room for him.
Du Shaojie nodded in agreement, and then sent Ma Zijian downstairs.
"Zhang Yufei, come to my office."
Back in the lobby, he waved at Zhang Yufei and asked her to follow him.
Chu Linlin was so envious. Manager Du was usually polite to everyone, but she had never been summoned by him. Maybe Zhang Yufei had encountered good things, either a promotion or a pay raise.
Zhang Yufei didn't know why, so she followed Du Shaojie into the office and stood opposite the desk with a smile.
"Sit down, why are you standing? I remember you are a high school graduate, right?"
Du Shaojie smiled and pointed to the chair, and Zhang Yufei sat down.
"Yes, Manager Du, I did graduate from high school."
"Well, I think you have performed well in your work during this period, and you are very good at dealing with people. From today on, you are the lobby manager. In addition to managing the waiters, you are also responsible for welcoming and seeing off guests, banquet reservations, etc."
Private restaurants have always lacked such a role. If Du Shaojie is relied on for everything, he will be very tired.
After such a long period of observation, he found that Zhang Yufei not only has good appearance, but also has good manners and is very suitable for the position of lobby manager.
That's why we found a place to talk today.
"Ah? Thank you, Manager Du! Please rest assured that I will do my job well and let the guests who come to our restaurant come with joy and leave with satisfaction."
Zhang Yufei was a little surprised, but more pleasantly surprised.
She immediately expressed her attitude, and her whole temperament was different. It was obvious that she was in an excited state.
"Well, I will explain some things to you later. Let's leave it at that for today."
Du Shaojie then sent Zhang Yufei out. Whether she is capable or not, you will know after working for a while.
Then he slept in the suite for a while, and received a call from Mu Xiaolian in the afternoon.
"It just so happens that it's time to purchase dried seafood here. Please remember, 10 kilograms of dried sea cucumbers, 10 kilograms of dried abalone, and a little less dried scallops. Bring two or three kilograms to let me see first."
This time, because some new varieties are to be purchased, Du Shaojie plans to check it himself.
In the future, this work will be completely handed over to Zhang Qigong. If you don't understand, ask Zhong Fuxiang. Xiao Jianjun is not capable for the time being, and he needs to practice more.
Forty minutes later, he met Mu Xiaolian on the first floor.
The other party came on a tricycle, with a pretty face red from the cold. She was working hard for business.
Du Shaojie looked at the goods and found that they were of good quality and the price was right. So he asked Zhang Qigong to take them to the warehouse and settled the bill on the spot.
"Zhang Yufei, pour a cup of tea. Xiaomu, have a cup of hot tea before leaving, you are so cold just now."
Du Shaojie asked Mu Xiaolian to sit in the lobby lounge for a while and asked the waiter to bring hot tea.
He had nothing to do at the moment, so he chatted with Mu Xiaolian for a few words. Only then did he learn that the other party was a student of Xijiang University and would only help his mother when he was not busy.
Mu Xiaolian's father died early, and there was a younger brother at home. The family's life depended on his mother's seafood and dried goods stall.
Du Shaojie didn't say anything, chatted with the other party for a while,
and then got up and left. He went to the [Big Plate Chicken] specialty store first, and then went to the snack bar. He didn't go to the private restaurant in the evening. Zhong Fuxiang was responsible for three tables of banquets alone, which was not difficult at all.
He received two letters at the snack bar, one from Qi Yan and the other from Du Shaomei.
Qi Yan's letter had a little more tenderness and affection, but the overall content was very subtle.
After reading it, Du Shaojie couldn't help but smile.
Next, he opened the letter from his eldest sister, and his brows frowned as he read it.
It wasn't that the letter said anything bad, and everything seemed normal on the surface, but he always felt something was wrong. He couldn't pay back his sister? That was definitely a guy who only reported good news and not bad news, and he suddenly felt a little worried.
But the local area was thousands of miles away from Guangzhou, and he didn't know anyone there, so he didn't know what to do if he wanted to understand the situation.
He certainly couldn't trouble Yu Mo with this matter, and he suddenly thought of Cai Jing.
Although Cai Jing was in Shenzhen, she must have reliable connections in Guangzhou, and should be able to visit Xiaomei at school on her behalf?
Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still, and hurried to the post office.
