Wen Rugui stayed at home for only one day that day and then went back to the base. He called back as soon as he got back to the base.
After that, he called back at least two or three times a day. Every time he hung up the phone, he could feel his reluctance to leave.
Tong Xuelu understood his excitement of being a father for the first time, but he was too clingy.
Since she became pregnant, her family treated her like porcelain and needed protection everywhere. They wished she would lie in bed for 24 hours a day and not move, which made her laugh and cry.
Later, she asked Grandma Shen to help her lobby and teach a room full of inexperienced men a lesson, and then she regained her freedom.
Tong Xuelu knew her body well, and she planned to continue running the Luweizhai and the restaurant as planned.
The Lu Wei Zhai has already started to make a profit. As long as there are no mistakes, Guo Chunyu can help take care of the rest.
Next, her focus will be on the restaurant. If she is not feeling well, she will put her health first and hand over the restaurant to Deng Hong to take care of it, or she can temporarily close it.
If her body is fine, then she plans to continue. It's just that she is pregnant, so it's not that delicate. When
she got up this morning, she ate the breakfast made by her uncle, a cup of soy milk, two meat buns, an apple and a portion of nuts.
She asked for nuts. Nuts are very nutritious and are very useful for both adults and the baby in her belly.
After breakfast, she took a car to inspect the Lu Wei Zhai.
Because the business of Lu Wei Zhai is good, many people have seen the business opportunities and the purchasing power of students. Several shops next to it are now under renovation.
Guo Chunyu saw her and reported to her the business and customer feedback in the past few days. She said worriedly: "Manager Tong, I have inquired. The shops next door are all going to do catering. If they start to do business, will it affect our business?"
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "It will definitely have an impact at the beginning, but in the long run, it is a good thing."
Guo Chunyu looked confused: "What do you mean?"
Tong Xuelu explained: "If there is only our shop on this street, even if the reputation spreads, the number of people coming here will be limited. But if one day this street becomes a food street, the whole street is selling If the food is delicious, more and more people will be attracted to come."
Guo Chunyu thought for a while and nodded: "Manager Tong, you have a far-sighted vision, while I can only see what is in front of me."
Tong Xuelu smiled: "What do you think of the five people who came to help?"
Guo Chunyu: "Manager Tong has a good vision. The five of them are very capable and hardworking. They never refuse to do anything when I ask them to work. However, the most outstanding and capable one is the young man named Jiang Junli."
Jiang Junli is a distant relative of Jiang Baihui. If we calculate the generation points, he should be Jiang Baihui's cousin.
Tong Xuelu raised her eyebrows: "Oh, what did he do?"
Guo Chunyu: "A student came over that day and said that our salty food was not fresh and he had diarrhea after eating it. He asked us to apologize and compensate in public and not to open the store after closing."
"I was out at that time. Only he and my silly brother were in the store. Wei Ping was so scared that he couldn't speak. Jiang Junli was the one who kept calm. He said on the spot that he would send him to the hospital for examination and then report to the police. When the man heard that he had to go to the hospital and report to the police, he was immediately frightened."
Tong Xuelu: "Are you sure that the other party is a student?" She suspected that someone saw that her business was good and deliberately came to make trouble.
As for the suspect, she thought of Qian Caixin.
Guo Chunyu shook her head: "When I came back, the other party had already squeezed into the crowd and ran away. We were afraid that things would get out of hand, so we didn't chase them. Manager Tong, did we do something wrong?"
Tong Xulu comforted her: "It's okay, you did a good job. Don't be afraid of anything when you encounter it. There is no need to reason with them. Just report it to the police directly." Jiang Junli
's calmness and stability in handling things exceeded her expectations. She would observe him later. If there is no problem, he can be cultivated as a backbone.
Guo Chunyu nodded: "By the way, Manager Tong, the weather is getting colder and colder. I'm afraid our halogen business will decline."
Malatang is hot, and the colder the weather, the better the business. But halogen is frozen like a popsicle, and no one will want to buy it.
Tong Xuelu praised her, "Your suggestion is very good. When the weather gets colder, I will have new dishes to serve. You don't have to worry."
By then, the supply of salt will be relatively reduced, and barbecue can be started. When the weather gets colder, the business of other shops will also pick up. By then, more and more people will know that there are delicious food on this street.
Guo Chunyu looked at Tong Xuelu's confident look and was full of admiration.
As expected, there is a big gap between people. Although Manager Tong is young, he is so capable, a first-class cook, very sophisticated in dealing with people, and ranked first in the city in academic examinations.
There is no comparison.
After leaving "Lunweizhai", Tong Xuelu went to the state-owned hotel where Deng Hong worked. Deng Hong said he had two chefs to introduce to her.
When she arrived at the state-owned hotel, Jiang Danhong was also there.
"Don't you have classes today?" Tong Xuelu asked.
"No classes today, I heard you were looking for a chef, so I came to see."
Jiang Danhong said as she was about to pour her tea made from winter melon peel.
"I'll just drink plain water."
Tong Xuelu knew she meant well. If she was the only woman in a room full of men, there would be gossip.
Jiang Danhong asked curiously, "Don't you usually like to drink tea made from winter melon peel? Why don't you drink it today?"
Tong Xulu looked down at her belly, said with a smile on her face, "I'm pregnant."
Jiang Danhong was stunned for a moment: "Really? How could it be so soon? Congratulations to you!"
Tong Xulu: "Yes, I didn't expect it to be so soon."
"It should be one month, right?
" "Yes, exactly one month. Tea made from winter melon peel is cool in nature. It's best not to drink it when you have your period. Drinking too much may cause cold body and dysmenorrhea."
Jiang Danhong was shocked: "Is there such a saying? I quite like to drink it, especially in the summer when it's easy to get angry. I drink it almost every day. No wonder it hurts so much when I have my period in the summer. It seems I should drink less in the future. "
While the two were talking, Deng Hong came in with a middle-aged man.
When Deng Hong saw Tong Xuelu, he smiled and greeted her: "Comrade Tong, why are you here so early?"
Tong Xuelu: "Well, these two should be the masters you want to introduce?"
Deng Hong nodded and pointed at the man with a crew cut and said, "This is Master Huang Dakai, who has fifteen years of cooking experience." He
then pointed at the tall and thin middle-aged man and said, "This is Master Song Weijun, who has seventeen years of cooking experience. They both worked in state-owned hotels in other provinces before. Recently, their family came to Beijing to make a living, and they followed them here, but couldn't find a job for a while."
After that, he said to the two of them, "This female comrade is the owner of the hotel." The
two chefs hurriedly said, "Hello, Manager Tong."
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "You're welcome, chefs. Tell me what dishes you are best at cooking?"
Huang Dakai spoke in plastic Mandarin: "I am a Cantonese banker. I am good at Cantonese cuisine and I am also good at making snacks."
Song Weijun said concisely: "I am from Sichuan and I am good at making Sichuan cuisine."
Deng Hong smiled and said, "Why don't we let the two chefs cook two of their specialties on the spot for everyone to try?"
Tong Xuelu agreed.
So Deng Hong took the two chefs to the kitchen to cook.
"Sister Danhong, what are you going to do after graduation?"
Tong Xuelu took out snacks from her bag and ate them with Jiang Danhong.
Her appetite has improved in the past few days and she is always hungry.
Jiang Danhong: "I want to study for a master's degree. If possible, I want to be a university teacher."
"That's possible. Being a university teacher is much easier than being a primary school teacher."
The key is that the treatment and social status are different, and Jiang Danhong's personality is indeed more suitable for staying in school.
More than an hour later, the two chefs came out with their specialties.
Chef Huang Dakai made a crispy barbecued pork and a dim sum lava bun.
The crispy barbecued pork is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The skin is crispy and the barbecued pork meat underneath is tender. The taste is not too strong. It leaves a sweet taste in your mouth after eating it. It is a typical Cantonese method.
Tong Xuelu took a chopstick and commented: "Master Huang, this crispy barbecued pork is very good, but if the barbecued pork skin can be a little more golden, it will be even better."
Master Huang Dakai nodded vigorously: "Manager Tong is indeed a first-class chef. I think there are not many people who can make this crispy barbecued pork better than me, but I always have a bad grasp of the skin, which causes the skin to turn black."
Tong Xuelu: "This has something to do with your heat. I will make it again and show you later."
Master Huang Dakai was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Manager Tong, does this mean that I was hired?"
Tong Xuelu nodded and picked up the quicksand buns he made.
The quicksand buns have a soft and tender skin. When you bite it, the golden fillings immediately flow out like golden sand. The fillings are sweet and salty, and the taste is very fresh.
Tong Xuelu ate a whole one. She hadn't eaten authentic lava buns for a long time and missed it very much.
Chef Song Weijun made a dish of mapo tofu and a dish of Gongbao chicken.
The mapo tofu was spicy and tender, and the Gongbao chicken was spicy and crispy. The more you chewed, the more delicious it became.
Tong Xuelu also affirmed Chef Song Weijun's cooking skills and pointed out that his mapo tofu was a little old, but she finally hired him.
However, her restaurant will not open for another half a month, so Tong Xuelu asked the two of them to report to the restaurant in advance.
After leaving the state-owned hotel, she wanted to go to the department store to buy something, but she didn't know if it was because of her pregnancy. She usually had a lot of energy, but now she felt a little tired.
So she gave up the idea of going to the department store and took the bus home.
After waiting for the bus for half an hour, Tong Xuelu decided to go back and make money. The first thing she did was to buy a car.
As soon as she entered the house, Yuebing rushed towards her, but suddenly stopped halfway and sniffed around her belly.
Tong Xuelu had heard before that animals are very spiritual and will stop rushing towards them when they sense that their owners are pregnant.
She rubbed Yuebing's head: "Yuebing, do you know that I'm pregnant?"
Yuebing called her softly, which was completely different from his usual heroic appearance.
At this moment, the wooden door was suddenly pushed open, and Wen Rugui came in from outside, sweating: "Where have you been? I went to the Lu Wei Zhai but didn't find you."
Tong Xuelu stood up and said curiously: "I went to the Lu Wei Zhai, and then went to the state-owned hotel managed by Manager Dang Deng, how come you came back suddenly?"
Wen Rugui came over, checked her, and found that she was fine, then replied: "I bought you a cassette recorder. My friend's dog gave birth to puppies, just one month old, so I brought them here."
Tong Xuelu heard that there were puppies, and asked curiously: "Where is the puppy?"
Wen Rugui took her hand and went over to see the puppy.
The puppy was a wolf dog, and because it was still small, it looked a little silly. It looked at Tong Xuelu with its big watery eyes.
Tong Xuelu fell in love with it at once, rubbing the little guy's head: "What should I call you?"
"Woof woof~"
The little puppy barked twice.
Then Wen Rugui said: "Why not call it Green Turtle."
Tong Xuelu's mouth twitched twice: "..."
She really didn't expect that Wen Rugui still remembered this name after so long, so she immediately denied it and finally named the little puppy Liushabao.
Because the Liushabao she just ate tasted very good, she thought she could eat three or four more, so she gave the little puppy this name.
Wen Rugui was very sorry that the little puppy could not be named "Green Turtle".
At night, she washed up and leaned in Wen Rugui's arms.
Wen Rugui gently stroked her flat belly: "Tell your family where you are going in the future, so that they won't worry about you."
Tong Xuelu hooked his neck and bit his chin: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll tell my uncle when I go out in the future."
Wen Rugui shuddered at her bite and pulled the distance between them and said: "Please bear with it. I asked the doctor. It will take three or four months before I can..."
Tong Xuelu: "..."
Oh my, she said it as if she was very hungry.
Wen Rugui saw that she didn't say anything and thought she was angry: "I will come back more often to accompany you and the child in the future."
Tong Xuelu saw that he spoke so obediently and did not have the heart to tease him.
The key point was that her spirit was indeed not as good as before, and she was already feeling tired.
Wen Rugui saw that she was yawning, helped her lie down and said: "Since you are sleepy, go to sleep."
He got up and turned off the lights. Tong Xuelu hugged his waist and soon fell asleep.
She didn't know how long she slept, she was awakened by the sound of talking in a daze.
She opened her eyes and saw Wen Rugui sitting beside the bed, and said to the empty chair: "Did you really let your father arrange a woman to get close to Shi Xiuneng?"
