The Green Tea’s Crushing Victories in the ’70s

65 cups of green tea

Tong Xuelu almost nodded and laughed.

Usually girls are more entangled in this kind of thing, she really didn't expect Wen Rugui to be entangled.

And it's so cute to pretend to overhear her.

Tong Xuelu turned around and pretended not to hear, and took the fruit back to the kitchen.

Not long after she returned to the kitchen, footsteps and voices came from outside.

Park Jianyi: "I am a stranger in a foreign land alone, and I miss my relatives during the festive season. I know that my brothers are climbing high, and there is one less person who planted dogwood everywhere."

Wen Rugui: "Why did you suddenly read Wang Wei's poem?"

Park Jianyi's voice was a little louder: "Next week is the Double Ninth Festival, and I suddenly felt something. By the way, I remember that two days after the Double Ninth Festival, that is, next Thursday is your birthday. I remember correctly, right?"

Wen Rugui's ears turned red, "Well, you remember correctly."

Park Jianyi: "Next Thursday, unfortunately I have to go to work, so I wish you a happy birthday in advance now."

Wen Rugui: "Thank you."

Tong Xuelu was trembling with laughter in the kitchen, and she burst into tears.

Tell her directly that she is afraid of being too deliberate, isn't it deliberate to sing the double reed like this?

He even read poetry!

It's a shame they can figure out such a crude method.

Hey, forget about laughing at her!

Park Jianyi kept staring at the kitchen, but unexpectedly there was no movement in the kitchen.

He leaned towards Wen Rugui, lowered his voice and said, "Did you say she heard it?"

Wen Rugui paused for a moment: "I should have heard that, we will go inside to help cook, if she hears, she should bring it up."

Park Jianyi thought it made sense, so the two walked towards the kitchen.

Seeing them approaching, Tong Xuelu quickly wiped away her tears and pretended to be serious about cooking.

Wen Rugui and Pu Jianyi walked in, only to see Tong Xuelu lowering her head and chopping meat, with a look of total concentration, she didn't even notice that they came in.

There was a "click" in their hearts at the same time: Didn't she hear it just now?

Park Jianyi cleared his throat and said, "Comrade Tong, is there anything we can do for you?"

Tong Xuelu seemed to notice them coming in: "Hey, when did you come? I just can't do it all by myself, so please help me wash these dishes."

"good."

Wen Rugui glanced at her, bent down and picked up the dishes on the ground and took them outside to wash.

Park Jianyi followed behind with a washbasin for washing vegetables, both of them felt a little heavy.

Go under the faucet for washing vegetables.

Pu Jianyi looked confused: "I said it so loudly just now, why didn't she hear it?"

Wen Rugui found an excuse for Tong Xuelu: "She was chopping meat, so she might not have heard."

Pu Jianyi threw the vegetables into the washbasin, feeling a little toothache: "Then what should we do now? Do we have to do it again?"

Wen Rugui thought for a while: "Say it again."

This is the first birthday since they confirmed their relationship, and he really wants to spend it with her.

Even just staying together and doing nothing, he will feel very satisfied.

Pu Jianyi smiled and said, "Brother, what good am I doing if I try my best to help you?"

Wen Rugui: "Are you allowed to pay back the money later?"

Park Jianyi: "..." You are cruel.

The two washed the dishes and helped peel the garlic.

Then Jiang Danhong and Fang Jingyuan came over, and there was no place for them in the kitchen.

The two went back to the living room and discussed again.

Park Jianyi: "I think I will mention it directly in front of her later, or what if she still hasn't heard it?"

Wen Rugui made sense after thinking about it: "It's possible."

So after the food was ready, Park Jianyi acted.

He suddenly said to Jiang Danhong: "Comrade Jiang, do you know that next Thursday is Rugui's birthday?"

Jiang Danhong clapped his hands, his eyes showed a trace of confusion: "I don't know, will Comrade Wen celebrate then?"

Pu Jianyi looked at Tong Xuelu who was next to Jiang Danhong and said, "Probably not, it's not easy to ask for leave after all."

Jiang Danhong said "Oh" and then fell silent.

Pu Jianyi scratched his head, so he could only ask Tong Xuelu directly: "Comrade Tong, did you hear what I said just now? How are you going to celebrate homecoming?"

After saying this, Wen Rugui "coincidentally" walked in from outside carrying a pot of pickled fish.

Tong Xuelu looked surprised: "It turns out that Rugui's birthday is coming soon, but I will be very busy next Thursday, so I won't be able to ask for leave."

Speaking of this, she turned her head to look at everyone and said, "By the way, there is something I want to tell everyone, that is, I have been appointed as the manager of the state-run hotel!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone except Wen Rugui was shocked.

Tong Jiaxin was the first to react: "Sister, are you really a manager?"

Tong Xuelu nodded: "Well, I will start working tomorrow."

Tong Jiaxin jumped three feet high: "Great, sister, you became the manager, will we be able to eat meat every day from now on?"

Tong Xue's green smile said: "If you pass the exam, maybe there is a possibility."

Tong Jiaxin's smile froze on his face: "..."

Fang Jingyuan opened her mouth wide: "Xuelu, you are too good, right? Not long ago you were a female worker in a textile factory, then you were transferred to a state-run hotel as a waiter, and later became a master chef. Now you have been promoted to a manager, are you How did you do it?"

Jiang Danhong looked at Tong Xuelu with admiration: "Congratulations, Xuelu!"

Then other people also congratulated Tong Xuelu, and Tong Xuelu smiled and thanked everyone.

Wen Rugui's birthday was forgotten by everyone.

forgotten……

Wen Rugui put the sauerkraut fish on the dining table, and suddenly felt a little bad.

She doesn't have time to ask for leave, but he does!

As long as she speaks, he will find a way to ask for leave and come back!

Park Jianyi glanced at him sympathetically, and said in a low voice, "Brother, I did my best."

Wen Rugui: "..." The mood got worse.

Then everyone's attention was focused on Tong Xuelu being the manager and the food, and no one mentioned Wen Rugui's upcoming birthday.

Even Tong Xuelu didn't mention it.

Tong Xuelu made dry pot Chiba tofu, homemade fish-flavored eggplant, pickled fish, garlic cabbage and baked pancakes today.

The dry pot Chiba tofu marinade is mellow, the homemade fish-flavored eggplant flavor is delicate, and the baked pancakes are crispy and fragrant.

The fish with pickled cabbage is spicy and fragrant, and the fish is so smooth and tender that people almost swallowed their tongues.

After a meal, everyone's tastes were conquered.

Fang Jingyuan patted her stomach without image: "Xuelu, the food you cook is really delicious. When you become a manager in the future, will you still cook?"

Tong Xuelu: "I won't do it until the chef from the hotel comes back."

Fang Jingyuan wailed suddenly: "What should I do after that?"

Tong Xuelu ignored her and went out to see if the baked cookies were ready.

Wen Rugui originally wanted to follow, but Fang Jingyuan moved faster than him, so she jumped out immediately.

Wen Rugui: "..."

Fang Jingyuan caught up with Tong Xuelu, took her arm and said, "Now I finally understand why you abandoned my elder brother!"

Tong Xuelu raised her eyebrows.

Fang Jingyuan: "Although my elder brother looks like a dog, he is really incomparable compared with your partner. If it were me, I would not want my elder brother either!"

What's more, her elder brother has such a shitty personality, so don't worry about it.

Tong Xuelu glanced at her, and silently lit a candle for Fang Wenyuan in her heart.

Fang Jingyuan continued: "Xuelu, you see we are good friends now, so I should be able to come to your house for dinner often in the future?"

Tong Xuelu withdrew her hand: "Who is your good friend?"

Fang Jingyuan quickly took her hand again: "Sisters are sisters for life, that's the deal, I will come here often in the future!"

Tong Xuelu rolled her eyes greatly.

When everyone went back, Tong Xuelu gave everyone some small biscuits as gifts.

Compared with everyone else, Wen Rugui has one more thing, and that is duck eggs.

Tong Xuelu pointed at the duck eggs and said, "Happy birthday to you in advance, these duck eggs are my birthday present to you in advance."

Wen Rugui's face stiffened for a moment: "Thank you."

When he walked out of the alley, Park Jianyi laughed so hard that his head almost disappeared: "Hahaha, my god, she actually gave you a duck egg as a birthday present, I laughed so hard..."

"..."

Wen Rugui was carrying a bag of duck eggs, his face was very dark.

Seeing this, Park Jianyi laughed more and more and leaned back, his laughter was all the way.

**

Tong Xuelu went to work the next day.

After Tong Xuelu was promoted to the restaurant manager, the position of waiter became vacant.

In addition to Tan Xiaoyan's fired position, there are no two waiters in the restaurant.

In order to compensate Aunt Lin and Guo Weiping who were innocently implicated, the government allowed the two of them to purchase these two jobs at a preferential price.

The Meng family bought a service worker's seat for Meng Qingqing, while Guo Weiping's family gave up the seat to his cousin Guo Chunyu.

While waiting for work, Tong Xuelu saw Meng Qingqing, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and the new face Guo Chunyu.

Meng Qingqing looked thinner than before, but her complexion was good. Seeing Tong Xuelu, she smiled shyly.

Tong Xuelu nodded to her, then turned to Guo Chunyu.

Guo Chunyu is married, thirty-five years old, with a round face and a round figure. She looks kind and friendly, giving people a very friendly feeling.

Seeing Tong Xuelu look over, Guo Chunyu grinned and said, "Good morning, Manager Tong. I am Xiao Guo's cousin Guo Chunyu. You can call me Da Guo from now on!"

Tong Xuelu: "..."

What the hell is this called?

"I think it's better to call you Sister Chunyu."

Guo Chunyu smiled and nodded: "That's fine, just listen to what you want, manager."

Tong Xuelu was very satisfied with her attitude.

Although she was appointed as the manager, but she was young, if the newcomers were not convinced by this point, it would be another trouble.

She is not afraid of trouble, but she hates trouble.

Especially since this person is Guo Weiping's cousin, if he can't handle it well, he will fight among himself again.

Seeing her so easy to get along with now, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that everyone was here, Tong Xuelu held a meeting for them.

"From today onwards, I am the manager of the hotel. I have the same as other managers, but also have differences."

"The same thing is, I ask you to do a good job of sanitation. The floor tables in the lobby, the kitchen in front of the door, and the sanitation of the alley must be cleaned, and there must be no negligence!"

The three of Meng Qingqing nodded in unison.

Although Guo Chunyu is a newcomer, she has the most positive attitude: "Don't worry, Manager Tong, we will definitely take care of the hygiene. I handle the hygiene of my home alone. I will treat the hotel as my home from now on. Love my family!"

Tong Xuelu: "..."

Tong Xuelu felt that Guo Chunyu really had a sense of humor, seeing her round face say such a thing, she wanted to laugh.

However, it is commendable that the employees are active: "Your attitude is very correct, we should treat the hotel as a home!"

The smile on Guo Chunyu's face was even brighter: "I love restaurants, I love my home! Xiao Guo, let's shout together!"

Guo Weiping blushed: "I love restaurants, I love my home, the hotel is my home!"

Seeing this, Meng Qingqing quickly blushed and shouted slogans.

Tong Xuelu: "..."

She felt that Guo Chunyu must be a master of MLM in modern times.

She coughed and continued: "Unlike other managers, there are no special matters during working hours that are not allowed to leave early or leave the hotel. As long as you do things well, I can arrange a rotation later!"

When the three of them heard this, their eyes lit up.

The job in the state-run restaurant is very enviable. You can buy the freshest ingredients when you eat delicious food and spicy food.

But the bad thing is that there are no holidays. Except for the Chinese New Year and big festivals, there is no one day off in a month.

It would be perfect if I could take a break now!

Guo Chunyu patted her chest again and assured: "Don't worry, Manager Tong, we will listen to you, and we will never leave the hotel early or leave the hotel without reason!"

Guo Weiping and Meng Qingqing also nodded.

Tong Xuelu nodded in satisfaction, and continued: "Also, if there are guests coming to the restaurant in the future, we can no longer serve as before. In other words, such things as scolding guests are absolutely not allowed!"

It's too early, and unnecessary, to bring up service with a smile.

But the service attitude of scolding customers at every turn should be changed as soon as possible.

Meng Qingqing didn't think it mattered. After all, she was rather shy and didn't dare to scold guests before.

It was Tan Xiaoyan who scolded the guests.

Guo Weiping didn't care. He was in the kitchen and basically had no direct contact with the guests.

Guo Chunyu thought for a while and said, "Manager Tong, if someone robs the seat and quarrels in the restaurant, can't you scold them?"

Tong Xuelu said: "If that happens, you can ask them out directly!"

Guo Chunyu thought for a while and expressed his understanding.

Then Tong Xuelu made several other requests, and all of them expressed no objection.

Then she announced the end of the meeting, and then went to the business department to hold a meeting and do the handover.

State-run hotels are managed by the commercial department, the ownership right belongs to the state, and all interests belong to the superior competent department.

Liu Dongchang was in the hands of the restaurant's operating expenses before, but after Liu Dongchang's accident, all the money was taken back.

She is now going to get money to buy ingredients.

Coming to the commercial department, the doorman was taken aback when he saw her come to a meeting as a manager.

She checked her ID many times before letting her in.

When Tong Xuelu entered the conference hall, everyone's eyes fell on her.

"Why did a woman come in here? Did you go to the wrong place?"

"That's right, hey little girl, did you go to the wrong place?"

Tong Xuelu looked at them indifferently: "I did not go wrong, I am the manager of Chengnan State-owned Hotel, and I am here for a meeting."

There was a thunder on the ground!

As soon as these words came out, all the men present were shocked.

"She's the manager? Since when did a woman become the manager of a state-owned hotel?"

"Yes, and she looks so young, can she do it?"

"I advise you to keep your voice down. If you can parachute to the position of manager at this age, you should know that his background is not simple!"

As soon as these words came out, the conference hall that was still whispering just now became completely silent.

Everyone secretly looked at Tong Xuelu, but no one came up to say hello to her.

Tong Xuelu didn't care, she found an empty seat and sat down.

These people are all resources in her eyes, but now these resources look down on her, a parachuted person.

So she was not in a hurry to go up and say hello.

Posting it now will only make people look down on it.

To be convincing, you have to speak with strength.

After ten minutes, the leader of the commercial department came over.

The Minister of Commerce is a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, wearing a black tunic suit with a serious expression.

After summing up some problems of the state-run hotel, he asked, "Has the manager of the Chengnan State-run hotel come over?"

Tong Xuelu stood up: "Here you are, Minister, my name is Tong Xuelu, and I am the new hotel manager!"

Minister Lin took a look at her, and then said sharply: "Comrade Tong, are you confident in running the Chengnan Hotel well? If you don't have confidence, you are allowed to withdraw now!"

Tong Xuelu's voice was clear and loud: "Minister, don't worry, I have the confidence to run the restaurant well!"

When the men present heard this, some shook their heads, some laughed, and some felt that Tong Xuelu didn't know the heights of heaven and earth.

The restaurant in the south of the city has been poisoned by pesticides. Even if it reopens, people will not dare to come to eat.

Minister Lin: "Very well, then I will give you three months to reopen the restaurant."

Tong Xuelu's red lips curled slightly: "It doesn't take three months, it only takes one month."

As soon as these words came out, the conference hall fell silent again.

Everyone looked at Tong Xuelu with more and more ridicule.

Sure enough, you don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, you want to start your business again in a month?

What a daydream!

Minister Lin laughed: "Okay, since you said one month, then one month!"

Tong Xuelu didn't seem to see everyone's laughing eyes, so she sat down calmly.

After taking the operating expenses, Tong Xuelu went directly to the supply and marketing cooperatives and vegetable stations to buy ingredients.

Back at the restaurant, Meng Qingqing and the others were stunned when they saw the ingredients in her hand.

Meng Qingqing: "Manager Tong, why did you only buy so many ingredients? It's not enough!"

Guo Weiping and Guo Chunyu also nodded in unison.

Tong Xuelu: "Enough, no one should come to the door in the last two days, these ingredients are for us to eat."

After hearing this, several people fell silent.

Food poisoning is the most taboo in restaurants. What happened to Cao Dagang happened. Although it was later proved that he directed and acted, many ordinary people would not care about the follow-up development.

In their eyes, the restaurant almost killed people!

So now that it is reopening, no one should come to eat.

If no one comes to eat, the restaurant will not be able to operate, and they will lose their jobs!

Tong Xuelu did not comfort them.

Sure enough, no one came to eat all day long.

Occasionally, there are a few outsiders who don't know that they want to come in to eat, and they are quickly dissuaded.

In the next two days, no one came to the door, and the door was empty.

Meng Qingqing and the others were very worried, but Tong Xuelu was the only one who was very calm.

It's time to eat and drink, and it doesn't seem to be in a hurry.

In the previous meeting, Tong Xuelu "spread nonsense" and said that the hotel could be operated in a month. After the meeting, many people were paying attention to the hotel's every move.

They thought that Tong Xuelu would do something amazing, but they didn't do anything!

The hotel didn't have a single guest for two or three days, what a laugh!

It seems that it is bragging!

Seeing that Tong Xuelu has no skills, everyone is too lazy to continue paying attention.

**

Time turned, and soon it was the day before Wen Rugui's birthday.

Since Wen Rugui returned to the base, he has been in a bad mood.

Huang Qimin and Zhou Yan soon realized that something was wrong with him.

So the base three musketeers gathered together again.

Huang Qimin said: "As home, did you quarrel with your partner?"

Zhou Yan smiled brightly: "Yes, tell us what you are unhappy about."

Wen Rugui glanced at them: "There is no quarrel."

Zhou Yan didn't believe this: "Why did you come back with a dark face when you didn't quarrel? Ah, I remembered, tomorrow is your birthday. Could it be your partner who doesn't say anything?"

Hearing this, Wen Rugui's face suddenly darkened.

Seeing him like this, Zhou Yan knew that he had guessed right: "Sure enough, I guessed it! I said, do you really have a partner? You won't lie to us, right?"

Wen Rugui defended his partner: "She is very busy, that's why she doesn't have time to celebrate my birthday with me."

Huang Qimin shook his head, and sighed like someone who came here: "Rugui, I didn't say you, you can't do this! You, a big man, should show the momentum of a big man. She said that if you don't have time, you won't be free. If you get married in the future Now, where do you still have status at home?"

Zhou Yan nodded again and again: "That's right, you've lost our men's face too much! If you continue like this, you will definitely be afraid of your daughter-in-law in the future!"

Huang Qimin also nodded.

Wen Rugui remained expressionless and said nothing.

Seeing that he didn't care about it, Zhou Yan immediately added angrily: "If you return home, don't take it seriously, our dean will be controlled by his wife to death!"

"I heard that when the dean eats steamed buns for his wife at home, he can only eat steamed buns. When his wife asks him to stand, he dare not sit down. There is no dignity in his life!"

Huang Qimin's expression suddenly became very strange, and he winked at him: "Ahem."

Zhou Yan glanced at him: "Is your throat okay?"

Huang Qimin hated that iron cannot be made into steel, and whispered: "Dean!"

Zhou Yan nodded: "Yes, I'm talking about our dean, you probably don't know, our dean is a strict wife, if you return home, don't learn from our dean!"

Suddenly, a sneer came from behind: "Don't say they don't know, even I don't know either."

Zhou Yan trembled all over, turned around stiffly, and then saw Dean Zhuang Zhenghui standing behind him.

Dean Zhuang: "I wanted to tell you that you can ask for leave today, but now it seems that you can forget it."

Zhou Yan: "..."
