Jinhuiju
When Yang Tao moved into the staff dormitory, she said, "Maybe this is a good place with good feng shui. Maybe after living here for a while, I'll really find the young talent I like!"
When Yang Tao smiled and said to Su Qinxuan and Jian Jianan, her sister Qin was really happy for her and sincerely wished her well in her heart. Jian Jianan felt that it was dispensable. If sister Xiaotao wanted, then of course she could find him. If sister Xiaotao didn't want, then it would be better for this young talent not to appear.
But perhaps because he was successful in his career but unsuccessful in love, although Yang Tao made a harsh statement, almost three hundred and sixty-five days have passed since that day, but Yang Tao is still alone. He is making great strides in his career at the Nanbei Hotel, and he becomes more and more courageous as he faces more setbacks. He enjoys his single life very much.
As time passed, Yang Tao gradually lost hope in this matter. She felt that love might be a sacrifice to her smooth career. Love and career cannot be achieved at the same time, so she should not force it.
One day, Yang Tao whispered to Jian Jianan, "Actually, this isn't bad. The men I work with all have their own flaws. A few days ago, Mr. Shen, whose son is already that grown up, asked if I was free tonight and wanted to come to my dorm to sit and chat. Ugh, he had bad intentions. His expression was written all over his face. Don't think I can't see it!"
"Besides, I don't necessarily need a partner. It's good for us to just be together!"
Yang Tao is already 26 years old this year, but she may be born young. Just like her name, she is like a peach blossom in bud and blooming. She is clearly at the best age.
Jian Jianan comforted Yang Tao: "Sister Xiaotao, there's no rush for this. Everything depends on fate. Look, your fate with our restaurant was that you saw the recruitment notice that day, and then you came to our small restaurant and started your lifelong career. Maybe your fate with your lover hasn't arrived yet!"
Yang Tao accepted it cheerfully: "You're right, it's all about fate."
Don't pretend she doesn't know. Ever since moving out of the staff dormitory, Yang Tao has vowed to fight for herself and achieve extraordinary results at work. However, privately, there are still people who slander her for not having a blind date or getting married at such an old age, and some of them say vicious words.
In the eyes of others, Yang Tao is not only unmarried, she doesn't even have a blind date or someone who can be called a boyfriend. This is a great shame for the family. Is this person mentally ill?
However, after Yang Tao came to terms with it, she no longer cared about it. She would even use Jian Jianan's words to comfort herself.
"You're saying no one wants me and I can't enjoy the blessing? Your son is wanted. Your son works hard all month long in the factory, on call, and has to pick up and drop off the boss's son from school, help the boss's son with homework, and can't even rest on holidays because he has to take care of the boss's dog! Auntie, you are really lucky. Unlike me, I can only earn 90 yuan a month, drinking wine and eating snacks in a lonely and speechless 80-square-meter house!"
"Oh, forget it. I, this unwanted woman, have to collect my year-end bonus again. Speaking of which, this year's bonus should be more than last year's, right? Could it be doubled? That would only be a few hundred yuan!"
He could instantly make the person on the opposite side so angry that he fell to the ground. Jian Jianan smiled behind Yang Tao's back, hiding his achievements and fame.
All of the above thoughts came to Jian Jianan when he was sitting alone in their family's new property and daydreaming.
Just when Jian Jianan was leaning his head, wondering what he was thinking about, suddenly a few people walked up to him, pulled out chairs and sat down.
“Nannan!”
Duan Duan was the first to greet Jian Jianan cheerfully, pulled out a chair next to Jian Jianan and sat down. Shan Jiqing and Lin Chuan also nodded to her as a greeting and sat down opposite Jian Jianan.
Jian Jianan's face immediately showed the joy of seeing his friends: "You guys are here, I was wondering when you would come, otherwise the food I left would have gone cold!"
Jian Jianan pushed the menu in his hand to the three of them, "Come on, start ordering. I've ordered a few of the signature dishes that are more distinctive and must be eaten. You can take a look and see if there is anything else you want to eat. Just order whatever you want and add as much as you want. Don't be polite, just eat whatever you like!"
The three of them took the menu and looked at it carefully, then simply added one or two dishes and returned it to Jian Jianan.
"I trust your taste. Besides, my parents and I have been to Jinhuiju several times and have never been dissatisfied!"
This is one of the most famous restaurants in Shenzhen in recent times. How could they not come?
That’s right, Jinhuiju is the new restaurant opened by Jian Jianan’s family last year. The Chaoshan master chefs brought by Su Qinxuan and Jian Yangping support the entire restaurant, and Yang Tao contributed a lot as the first store manager.
Jinhuiju specializes in Guangdong morning tea. There are a wide variety of dim sum in the store. The efficient auntie keeps pushing the cart between the tables in the store. Steamers are stacked on top of it, emitting a fragrant aroma. From time to time, someone calls the auntie to stop and choose their favorite food from the fragrant aroma. Unfortunately, the number of people is limited or the money is tight, otherwise they would definitely have to take a whole cart.
In addition to the morning tea that opens at six or seven in the morning, Jinhuiju also has a dinner market, which adds dozens of local specialties on the basis of various dim sum and tea snacks. When dinner comes at eight or nine o'clock, pedestrians passing by will smell the endless aroma, and some people with weak minds will be attracted in.
When friends meet, they naturally have a lot to talk about. The four of them chat and talk about anything without any reservations.
Speaking of thirst, I picked up a cup of Pu'er tea to drink. Morning tea, morning tea, besides breakfast, there is also tea. Not to mention, the food in Jinhuiju tastes great, and the tea is also very good.
As soon as the Pu'er tea is brewed, the mellow and concentrated tea aroma comes out. When you tilt your head back and drink it into your mouth, you can taste the unique flavor of Pu'er even more.
While they were chatting, more than a dozen snacks were served one after another. Immediately, the four people at the table stopped talking and looked at the table.
The shrimp dumplings with a thin skin that looks white with a hint of rosy pink, the chicken feet that are steamed until they are soft and fall off the bones with a single bite, and the hot and soft Mala cake, the aroma will penetrate your nose bit by bit.
No one was busy talking. As soon as a dish came up, four chopsticks would attack it from different directions. The next second, a pile of empty plates appeared on the table.
The Cantonese dim sum in Jian Jianan's family usually has four pieces on each plate, which is just enough for four people. Sometimes it has three pieces, and one person will not be able to finish it. Whenever this happens, Jian Jianan will wave to the waiter for another plate.
"Don't worry, eat as much as you want. If you can't finish it, take some home and let your family try it too."
The paragraph was so full of food that I couldn't even speak a complete sentence. I could only hum my thanks: "Hello, it's so good, Lanlanli is really great!"
Jian Jianan was best friends with the three people in front of him at school, and he often invited them to his restaurant for dinner. However, these three people were very sensible and would not try to take advantage of Jian Jianan just because he invited them. They would not specifically mention it to Jian Jianan when they came with their family. At most, they would only go to dinner together during the holidays, after Jian Jianan’s repeated invitations, and the four of them would make plans to have dinner together.
Jian Jianan, who was very sensitive to people's hearts, could naturally feel their sincerity and liked his friends' sense of propriety even more.
Listening to the three friends praising the food in his restaurant, Jian Jianan's smile gradually deepened.
Duan Duan ate a lot, and only after her stomach was satisfied to a certain extent did she raise her head to chat with Jian Jianan again.
Duan Duan asked curiously, "By the way, Nan Nan, there's a question I've been wondering about for a long time. Why is your new store called Jinhuiju? Is there any deeper meaning behind it?"
Upon hearing this, the remaining two friends sitting opposite also raised their heads from their bowls and chopsticks, not even bothering to eat the delicious snacks, waiting for Jian Jianan to give an answer.
Jian Jiannan smiled mysteriously, stretched out his right hand, pointed at the surrounding environment, and asked them to look, "Look up, what do you think of the surrounding environment?"
The three people were shocked and thought that the surrounding environment was hiding some mystery. They didn't even care about the delicious snacks. They stretched their necks and looked up at the ceiling and the surrounding environment in the same way.
Everything in the room was magnificent and golden. The space was extremely spacious, with no obstructions except for four huge pillars. The tablecloths and chair covers were red, embroidered with various patterns in gold thread, which looked very luxurious.
The four huge pillars are also golden, with one of the Chinese people's favorite totems coiled on top - the Chinese dragon. The golden dragon is baring its fangs and claws, with a dragon ball in its head, shaped like a golden dragon playing with the ball.
In addition to these, the walls are also a combination of gold and white. The wallpaper is specially made by Su Qinxuan. Although it is called wallpaper, the material feels a bit like cloth, warm and granular to the touch. The golden silk threads form a square and pass through the surface of the wallpaper. If there is sunlight shining on it, you can experience what it means to be in a state of stillness and tranquility.
But it’s not bad now. Although the sunlight is blocked by the glass windows and cannot enter the room, at noon, Jinhuiju turns on various lights, which complement the magnificent decorations in the room. Everything you see is golden.
After seeing this, the three friends suddenly understood.
After a long while, Duan Duan turned around and sighed to Jian Jianan, "No wonder it's called Jinhuiju. So that's how it is. When I first glanced at it, I thought everything was made of gold. I think there's no other name more suitable than 'Jinhuiju'."
Lin Chuan was also shocked. Although he had been to Jinhuiju several times, he always sat down and started eating delicious food, and had never carefully observed the interior decoration. Now, after taking a look, Lin Chuan felt the magnificence of Jinhuiju's interior soft furnishings and the good intentions of Jian Jianan's family.
Among them, only Shan Jiqing did not express his opinion, because the design of Jinhuiju was inseparable from his mother's hand. Xu Jing was the designer who Su Qinxuan repeatedly invited to design the soft furnishings for Jinhuiju.
In fact, Shan Jiqing saw the final design concept and renderings earlier than several owners of Jinhuiju.
As he was thinking, Shan Jiqing raised his head and looked at Jian Jianan. Coincidentally, Jian Jianan also looked over, and the two of them looked at each other tacitly. This scene did not look very good in the eyes of Duan Duan and Lin Chuan on the opposite side. They turned their heads away or lowered their heads, drinking tea or eating snacks.
Alas, the four of them obviously spend most of their time together, so why does Shan Jiqing seem to be more familiar with Jian Jianan? Is it because they are neighbors?
Duan Duan thought so and made up her mind that when the properties near Donghu Liyuan Community were put on sale in the future, she would definitely persuade her parents to buy a house. Whether for self-use or investment, it would be a very good way. Otherwise, the value of the house would appreciate if it was left unused.
The meal for the four of them was coming to an end. They were now in the third year of junior high school and would be promoted to high school in half a year and become a sacred high school student. Studying was the most important task for them.
So the four of them started talking about their study tasks. Originally, one of the reasons for this dinner was to make further progress in their studies. The four of them studied together so that they could get into the same ideal high school and continue to be a four-person team with a relationship that was even deeper than that of classmates.
@Infinite good articles, all in Jinjiang Wenxuecheng
Shan Jiqing was the first to speak. He handed three sheets of paper to each of them, then spoke calmly, "This is your academic performance. I've compiled this summary based on your performance in several important exams this year. I've clearly outlined each person's strengths and weaknesses. Most importantly, I've written down the final score. After you've carefully read this, consider my words and plan your next six months."
Perhaps due to his childhood experiences, Shan Jiqing has always been the best student among the four. Not only that, he is not a nerd in the secular sense. On the contrary, his brain is extremely flexible and easy to use. When Jian Jianan is not around, he is the backbone of Duan Duan and Lin Chuan, and they always listen to Shan Jiqing's words.
For example, now, Lin Chuan and Duan treated the paper handed to them by Shan Jiqing as a treasure, nodded continuously, and kept responding with "hmm hmm" sounds.
Jian Jianan read every word carefully. She was the second best student among the four and did not have to worry about getting into her ideal high school. However, if there was a way to get a higher score, Jian Jianan would do it. Why not?
The paper Shan Jiqing wrote to him clearly stated that Jian Jianan had the best math grades. It could be said that he never failed in every exam and even performed better than Shan Jiqing.
Now Jian Jianan smiled when she saw this. This was all thanks to her family's small business. She had been with her parents setting up stalls since she was a child. Sometimes when they had no time to do the accounts, she would look at the account book to help with the accounts and calculate various numbers. Jian Jianan was familiar with all kinds of calculation formulas. It could be said that it was a subconscious instinctive reaction for her to start calculating when she saw a math problem. She didn't have to be afraid of those densely packed Arabic numerals.
Su Qinxuan even jokingly said of her own daughter, "Others say their children learned to run before they learned to walk, but my daughter Nannan has learned to use an abacus before she even learned to talk. She's truly a genius, a rare talent!"
However, although Jian Jianan is a genius, she is not an all-rounder after all, and she still has some weak subjects.
The paper that Shan Jiqing handed to him had his weaknesses written on it. He had only one weak subject, which was Chinese.
There is no way. Jian Jianan wanted to sigh when she saw this. It was not that she did not want to learn Chinese well, but it seemed like she was born with the ability to remember all kinds of complicated mathematical formulas, but she just couldn't derive any meaning from a word, let alone understand the unspeakable secrets of various authors.
For example, a few days ago, there was a question asking what thoughts and feelings the author expressed in this passage. Jian Jianan answered without hesitation, "Lack of money."
When he saw the Chinese teacher's unhappy face, Jian Jianan carefully changed it to, "I'm short of money and need some to spend."
The Chinese teacher was immediately amused by this sentence and could only helplessly tell Jian Jianan the correct answer. "The author uses money to express his disappointment with the country and society. He hopes that the emperor will pay attention to him and promote him to a minister. Then he can develop industry to repay society and benefit the people."
On the surface, Jian Jianan nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, but in fact he was very dismissive in his heart. Isn't it still because they don't have money? Really, can't these people express themselves properly and be clear?
If she were the emperor, she wouldn't like to guess people's expressions!
In addition to pointing out that Jian Jianan's weak subject was Chinese, Shan Jiqing also wrote down the solution on his paper, which was to read more books, including famous works by famous authors, regardless of essays or novels, as long as they were books.
Jian Jianan wailed when he saw this and couldn't help but cover his face with paper, trying to escape.
Shan Jiqing found it amusing. The Jian Jianan he had seen was always sunny and full of vitality, as if there was no difficulty in the world that could not be solved. He never gave up and had a carefree and decisiveness that was beyond his age. But now, faced with the Chinese subject where his grades were relatively poor, he felt embarrassed and wanted to escape like other children of the same age.
Shan Jiqing gently comforted Jian Jianan, "Don't worry, I'll help you. Actually, there's a formula for all these answers, just like math. You don't need to really put yourself into the author's shoes to come up with different emotions for each question."
Jian Jianan's eyes lit up immediately, and he wanted to ask Shan Jiqing for the secret of this routine on the spot.
Shan Jiqing continued, "Then let's make an appointment. You should be free during this holiday."
Obviously, although Shan Ji is still young, he has naturally learned to help Jian Jianan solve his problems, and he will even try to stay with him longer. The image of a good wife in the future has begun to take shape.
The four children talked for a while about how to improve their academic performance so that they could get into the same ideal high school in the second half of the entrance examination. They stopped talking after a while.
After all, they leave school to have lunch, not to continue tutoring. Talking a little about study topics is icing on the cake. If they keep discussing them, they won't be able to eat.
Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Jian Jianan called the waiter in a very host-like manner and served a dessert to each of the four people.
Passion fruit mousse is also a specialty of Jinhuiju. It was developed by their team of chefs who were recruited from Chaoshan with great difficulty. Jian Jianan dares to guarantee that no one in the provincial capital can make it, and such a dish certainly does not exist in Shenzhen. Because of this, this novelty naturally occupies a firm position on Jinhuiju's best-selling list and has always been among the best.
The unique fragrance of passion fruit eliminates the need to spit out the seeds constantly, and the unique smooth taste of mousse makes the two blend together wonderfully and perfectly. It melts in your mouth and slides down your throat. You don’t even have to swallow much, it disappears in your throat.
Passion fruit mousse is a very suitable dessert as an after-meal dessert. After people finish the previous meal, they will inevitably feel greasy and thirsty. At this time, having a plate of passion fruit mousse at the last meal is really a magic weapon to relieve greasiness and thirst!
The three people were visibly conquered by the dessert. Jian Jianan saw them eating with great concentration, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face. Making customers satisfied is the first principle of their Jinhuiju, and classmates are of course also a kind of customers!
After waiting for the last dish to be finished and all the dishes on the table to be finished, the three of them stopped fighting and stretched out their limbs on the chairs. Only Jian Jianan still propped up his head and straightened his back, as if he was about to engage in another battle in the next second.
Duan Duan looked at his companion for a second and thought that Jian Jianan was so charming. He said something to make conversation: "Oh, by the way, Nan Nan, what is Sister Xiao Tao doing now? Is she not in the store today?"
In fact, it was not entirely for nothing. Last year, the four-member team launched a rescue operation for Yang Tao, which was very effective. With the persuasion of the four of them and the practical actions of Su Qinxuan to resolve his worries, Yang Tao finally decided not to resign and return to Nanbei Hotel. He separated the Cantonese cuisine of Nanbei Hotel into the Jinhuiju line, which became more and more prosperous, with a straight upward trend. Yang Tao played a great role in this.
It was also because of that rescue operation that Duan, who was originally unfamiliar with Yang Tao, saw such a big change in her and gradually began to care about Yang Tao. The most obvious manifestation was that he would ask Jian Jianan from time to time what Yang Tao was doing now. Seeing that she was getting better and better, Duan would also be happy.
Jian Jianan nodded, "Sister Xiaotao has been very busy lately. I haven't seen her for several days!"
Duan Duan was curious: "What is Sister Xiao Tao busy with? What is she busy with?"
Jian Jianan raised his index finger and shook it at his lips, smiling mysteriously: "I'm not afraid to tell you, we are going to open a second Jinhuiju in the near future!"
"What?"
“Is this true?”
"Could this second Jinhuiju be a chain store?"
Jian Jianan nodded heavily: "That's right, we want to open a chain store. Our family plans to make the Jinhuiju brand bigger and stronger, and turn it into a local morning tea chain brand in Shenzhen."
Just when Jian Jianan was excited to share the good news with his friends and continue to share the interesting stories behind the scenes, a quarrel suddenly came from the kitchen.
In order to keep hidden and have a better chat, Jian Jianan arranged today's seat at the back, which also meant that they were only a few meters away from the kitchen. Jian Jianan could see the people busying around just by tilting his head.
What is the quarrel about at this time?
Jian Jianan immediately grabbed a passerby in uniform and asked him, "What happened?"
The man originally thought it was a customer and wanted to give him some perfunctory treatment, but when he was asked to stop, he saw that it was Jian Jianan.
But although Jian Jianan is also the boss, she is only the boss's daughter and cannot really be in charge of things. The disappointment is still clearly revealed in his eyes.
"It's okay, it's nothing serious. We can handle it in the kitchen ourselves. Little boss, you should continue playing with your classmates."
Shan Jiqing and others observed Jian Jianan's words and expressions and felt that it was time to say goodbye to her and give her time to deal with the departure situation. They stood up, said goodbye to Jian Jianan, and walked towards the door.
Jian Jianan said to the man, "I'll see my classmate off first and come back later."
While waiting to say goodbye at the door, Shan Jiqing warned Jian Jianan, "Although I don't understand what happened, I heard that this team is extremely xenophobic. Be careful when you're alone."
Even he knew that the Jinhuiju team was extremely xenophobic and undisciplined. Could Jian Jianan do it alone?
