The next day, Wen Yanqing sent Jiang Yu to the hot pot restaurant and told her to notify him to pick her up when she left. Then he went back to help Wen's mother and the others make rice sauce.
Although the hot pot restaurant has not yet opened, the staff have already arrived at work early because they need to do a thorough cleaning of the store and do some preparatory work.
As the boss, Jiang Yu of course had to show up on the first day of work.
However, before Jiang Yu finished telling his employees about his work plan for the year, he received a call from the Ministry of Commerce, asking them to open the hot pot restaurant early to entertain guests.
The people who could have the Ministry of Commerce call personally to make arrangements should be the overseas Chinese who had returned to China to invest and were previously received by Mr. Wen.
Jiang Yu was speechless. If she had known they were coming today, she would not have listened to Wen Yanqing and put on such a thick cotton jacket, wrapping herself up like a ball.
But it was too late to go back and change clothes now. She was not an important person anyway, so she just had to do her job well. So it didn't matter what she wore.
Since it was an emergency, she made flexible arrangements, having people work together and try to get everything arranged before the distinguished guests arrived.
After they made the arrangements, they were told that the other party would not arrive for more than an hour.
Although Jiang Yu was warming herself on the charcoal stove in the lounge, she couldn't help but curse in her heart.
When others were waiting until their hands and feet were almost frozen, the returning overseas Chinese finally arrived.
The first people to get out of the car were two men wearing long black coats. The cold wind blew over, and the coats fluttered in the wind.
Jiang Yu looked over and met a pair of narrow, young black eyes.
Those eyes were as deep as a pool, with no bottom in sight.
The owner of the eyes has handsome features, a tall stature, and straight, slender legs. If it weren't for the example of a beauty like Wen Yanqing, he would indeed be considered a very handsome man.
After receiving the notice, Jiang Yu called Wen's mother to inquire about the news of the returned overseas Chinese.
I learned that the father of the returned overseas Chinese Xie Chengzhou took his family abroad because of the unsafe situation in China, and it has been almost 30 years since he returned to his motherland.
It is not easy to be in a foreign land, and it is even more difficult to be in a foreign country!
In addition, people tend to want to return to their roots when they get old, so the only wish of Xie Chengzhou's father before his death was for them to return home.
So when they learned that the country was now actively introducing foreign investment, they returned without hesitation.
Because they were in a hurry to come back, only the father and son came back first, and the others arrived later.
The person who followed closely behind should be the head of the business department, because he was leading the two people towards their store.
Before anyone even arrived, Jiang Yu heard the Commerce Department leader say, "Don't be fooled by Comrade Jiang's young age and plump clothes. She's the owner of this hot pot restaurant. She personally developed all the food here. I heard that not only is her hot pot amazing, but her meals are also delicious!"
Jiang Yu: “…” Just praise me, no need to say I look plump in the clothes.
When Xie Chengzhou and his son heard Minister Gao's introduction, their attention immediately fell on Jiang Yu.
Xie Chengzhou: "Since ancient times, young people have become heroes. Comrade Jiang has achieved such great things at such a young age. It is truly admirable. Our country has such talents, and the future is promising!"
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Comrade. However, I completely agree with what you said next. Our country does have a promising future. In the near future, our country will surely become a superpower that will attract the attention of the whole world!"
We are all descendants of China. Jiang Yu's words moved everyone present.
Who doesn’t hope that the motherland will become better and stronger?
Only by becoming strong can the country avoid being beaten!
"Comrade Jiang, what you said is very good. In the near future, our country will surely become a superpower!" Xie Chengzhou looked at her with appreciation.
"By the way, Minister Gao just said that Comrade Jiang's cooking is delicious. I wonder what cuisine Comrade Jiang can cook?"
Jiang Yu asked, "Comrade Xie, which cuisine would you like to eat?"
Xie Chengzhou asked, "I wonder if Comrade Jiang can make Yangzhou fried rice?"
Yangzhou fried rice?
Isn’t it said that Xie Chengzhou is from Beijing?
Before Jiang Yu could even speak, Minister Gao said, "Yes, Comrade Jiang can cook any dish!"
Jiang Yu smiled with a hint of "MMP": "..." Minister Gao, please shut up. This is a hot pot restaurant.
But she really knows how to make Yangzhou fried rice.
Although Jiang Yu didn't know why the Ministry of Commerce had arranged for them to dine at her restaurant, she felt that if her restaurant could treat them well and make them feel at home, it would not only leave a good impression on the Ministry of Commerce, but also be a good publicity opportunity.
Jiang Yu looked at Xie Chengzhou and said, "I happen to know how to make Yangzhou fried rice. But isn't Comrade Xie from Beijing? Why do you suddenly want to eat Yangzhou fried rice?"
Xie Chengzhou's voice choked slightly. "My mother is from Yangzhou. When she was alive, she loved making Yangzhou fried rice for us siblings. But she passed away not long after we went abroad, and I never got to eat her homemade Yangzhou fried rice again."
Their mother died of illness in the second year after they arrived abroad. Before her death, she kept talking about her hometown. Unfortunately, they were all on the other side of the Atlantic at that time and had no way to come back.
He left in a hurry at that time, but he didn't expect that he would be gone for twenty-nine years. He was an unfilial son and could not even fulfill his father and mother's last wishes before they died, causing them to die with regret.
Only now did he set out on his journey home.
Xie Chengzhou took off his glasses and wiped his eyes with his sleeve.
Xiao Xie patted his father's shoulder to comfort him.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little heavy.
After they went to the second floor to rest, Jiang Yu asked someone to prepare hot pot, and she made them a bowl of Yangzhou fried rice.
Ingredients for Yangzhou fried rice include rice, eggs, green beans, carrots, shrimps and corn kernels.
Jiang Yu stir-fried the ingredients separately, and then used the scrambled egg fried rice method to fry the rice until each grain was golden and loose, as if it was coated with gold.
Then add other ingredients and mix well. The Yangzhou fried rice with rich color, fragrant, glutinous and smooth taste is ready.
Just then, two "click" sounds were heard from behind.
Jiang Yu turned around and saw Comrade Xiao Xie taking pictures of her with a camera.
Seeing that she had noticed him, Xiao Xie smiled brightly on his handsome face: "Comrade Jiang, you look so focused when you cook!"
He actually came in behind Jiang Yu, but Comrade Jiang was so focused on the food that he didn't notice him at all.
When she got off the car earlier, I saw that she was wearing a thick cotton jacket. She was wrapped up like a ball and looked dusty. I never expected that she had a very good body proportion.
It was only when he was taking the photo that he noticed that her face was very delicate and beautiful, and was especially suitable as a model for photos.
Jiang Yu glanced at him and said, "You're violating my portrait rights. I'll let it go this time, but I won't do it again!"
