Chapter 72 72 cups of green tea
Old man Wen and Uncle Zong still trembled after they walked out of the yard.
Especially Old Man Wen’s face was ugly, he gritted his teeth and cursed several beasts.
Uncle Zong: “Commander, now think about whether we have misunderstood? I can be regarded as growing up looking at Rugui, he doesn’t look like that kind of person.”
Old man Wen banged the crutches on the ground loudly: “The facts are in front of your eyes, so don’t make excuses for him. If you didn’t believe it, how could you just shake like a sheep with a seizure?”
Uncle Zong: “…”
Tong Xuelu and Wen Rugui had no idea that their behavior had caused a misunderstanding, and Wen Rugui did not even know that their personal comments had been harmed.
In the room, his face was as warm as a cooked shrimp, and his eyes were afraid to look at Tong Xuelu.
Too innocent.
Tong Xuelu wants to laugh and feels like this kind of innocent man is really rare.
She looked at him, her slender eyelashes blinked: “My feet are no longer numb, there is no need to massage, thank you dear.”
Dear! Love! of! ! !
As soon as these three words came out, Wen Rugui’s face, neck, and ears were all red as if they were dyed, as if bleeding would come out with just one poke.
“Hahaha… why do you blush so easily? Are you usually like this?” Tong Xuelu couldn’t help laughing anymore.
Wen Rugui looked at her smiling face, his heart beating so fast that he almost lost control.
He blushed and shook his head: “No, I only blush at you.”
When he saw other women, let alone blush, he couldn’t even remember the way they looked.
As soon as the words came out, Tong Xuelu’s laughter stopped abruptly, and Xing Miao looked at her.
Woo, who said he stayed? Who said he can’t speak love words?
This is the most beautiful love story she has ever heard in her two lifetimes!
Tong Xuelu glanced outside the door and saw the quiet outside, a sly flash in his eyes suddenly.
She wants to do something bad…
Tong Xuelu stood up and moved towards Wen Rugui and lowered her voice: “At this moment, do you want to do something to me?”
As soon as she came over, Wen Rugui could smell the scent from her, faintly, but it made his heart beat faster.
He felt his heart beating so fast that he almost jumped out of his throat, his throat rolled a bit and said, “Yes.”
Oh!
Tong Xuelu’s eyes lit up, and she used her fingers to tuck her hair and gently swept his chin: “Then, what do you want to do?”
Wen Rugui’s chin was very itchy, and he felt her hair not only scratching his chin, but also scratching his heart.
He spoke again, and his voice became a little hoarse: “You, can you take a… picture for me?”
Tong Xuelu: “…”
The air was quiet for a few seconds.
Tong Xuelu stared at him blankly, that’s it? That’s it?
With such a great opportunity, he doesn’t want to do something hooligan?
Wen Rugui looked at her stunnedly, feeling nervous: “If you don’t want to shoot, it doesn’t matter.”
The previous ambiguity was swept away, and Tong Xuelu sat back on the chair: “Why do you suddenly want my photos?”
Wen Rugui’s eyelashes quivered slightly: “Zhou Yan and Huang Qimin both have pictures of their subjects.”
This sounded aggrieved, as if the child came home to act like a baby with his parents and other classmates had new schoolbags, but he did not.
Tong Xuelu’s heart was soft, and she wanted to rub his head: “Then we’ll take a picture later.”
Since they are all targets, how can he not show up?
He has to have what others have!
Wen Rugui looked at her eyes full of tenderness: “Okay.”
Although they were objects, it was not good for the two of them to stay in the room for too long, so Tong Xuelu proposed to go downstairs.
Wen Rugui naturally has no objection.
Unexpectedly, after going downstairs, he found that the expressions of Old Man Wen and Uncle Zong were a little strange.
The two of them didn’t seem to dare to make eye contact with them, and they accidentally ran into each other occasionally, and their eyes flashed with strange and complicated eyes.
It seems like sympathy, and it seems like guilt, in short, it is very complicated.
But when their gazes are warm and warm, it is not an exaggeration to describe them with cross-brows and cold fingers.
Uncle Zong originally wanted to cook a sumptuous lunch for Tong Xuelu himself, but because he found out what happened before, his hands trembled so badly that he had to go to the dining hall next door and get back with two meat dishes.
Old man Wen changed his enthusiastic style before, and after a meal, he didn’t say anything to Tong Xuelu.
Both Tong Xuelu and Wen Rugui were puzzled.
After leaving the military compound.
Sitting in the back seat of the bicycle, Tong Xuelu asked, “Rugui, do your grandpa and uncle Zong have any dissatisfaction with me?”
It was so good before, why did it suddenly become like this?
Tong Xuelu was puzzled.
Wen Rugui couldn’t figure it out, and comforted: “No, Grandpa is very satisfied with you.”
He felt that the old man’s anger seemed to be directed at him, but because Tong Xuelu was there, he was embarrassed to send it out.
The two of them didn’t think of a reason, so they didn’t think about it.
When he came to the photo studio, Wen Rugui went to the front desk to pay for the ticket.
Taking pictures these days is more luxurious than watching movies.
It costs four cents to take a passport photo, and four cents to two cents to take a full-body or half-length fine art photo.
Wen Rugui paid the money back, and had two more invoices in his hand. At this time, there were three copies of the invoices.
One for the stub for the photo studio, one for the photographer, and one for the photographer to take photos.
Photographer: “You are going to take two personal photos, right?”
Wen Rugui’s eyelashes trembled lightly upon hearing this.
Before he came, he just wanted a photo of Tong Xuelu, but when he paid the money, he wanted both a single photo and a group photo, and he wanted to send her a photo of himself.
He seems to be very greedy.
I wonder if she felt that she was too much when she heard it at this time?
Tong Xuelu didn’t expect so many at all. They are here, so let’s shoot together.
Taking three pictures at once will only show that her target is “wealthy and rich”!
Seeing that she had no objection, Wen Rugui secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to the photographer: “Yes, two singles and one group photo.”
The camera at this time was still that kind of old antique, covered with a large black cloth. The photographer had to go in and look at it several times before taking pictures.
It was late to get out of the photo studio, and she had to go back to the hotel in the evening.
She is now the manager and master of the hotel, and she can’t leave everything alone. Once something happens, she is worried that the three people in the hotel will not be able to handle it.
Although Wen Rugui felt a little regretful and felt that the time spent with him was too short, he also understood.
What’s more, he has to go back to the base this afternoon.
He drove Tong Xuelu back to the hotel, and then reluctantly returned to the military compound.
Unexpectedly, just as he stepped into the house, there was a roar on the sofa: “Bastard, you kneel down for me!”
Wen Rugui:? ?
Mr. Wen stared at him: “Kneel down!”
Wen Rugui: “Grandpa, I can kneel down, but can you tell me what happened first?”
The old man stared at him as if he was not as good as a brute.
Mr. Wen picked up the chicken feather blanket placed aside and was about to greet him.
Uncle Zong hurriedly came up to stop him: “Commander, if you have something to say, and if there is something good or bad, isn’t it the commander who is distressed by then?”
Old man Wen hummed: “How can I feel so sorry for him… You said why you are so mad, in broad daylight, how can you do such a thing to other girls?”
Wen Rugui was confused: “What did I do?”
Old Uncle Zong’s face flushed: “If you go home, you just admit it, we have heard everything you did in your room at noon!”
There was a “swish” sound.
The tips of Wen Rugui’s ears were red, and his eyes dropped to look at the ground.
Looking at him like this, Mr. Wen became more and more convinced that he had done animal behavior: “You will go back to the base to get a marriage report today, and we will go to Tong’s house to ask for a kiss!”
Wen Rugui was startled again:? ? ?
Marriage report?
Please kiss?
“But I haven’t got the consent of Xuelu.”
Old man Wen was so angry that his beard was about to curl up: “You did something like that, and you just come to ask people if they agree. Don’t you think it’s too late?”
Wen Rugui: “Grandpa, Xuelu asked me to do it.”
Old man Wen flushed with anger: “You are shameless! If you a big man does such a thing, you still have the face to push it on someone else’s girl!”
He said he was going to hit it with a feather duster again.
Uncle Zong stopped again: “Commander, don’t get frustrated, you have something to say!”
Old man Wen took a deep breath: “You do what I said, and we will go to Tong’s house tomorrow to beg for a kiss.” Maybe there will be children later!
Wen Rugui shook his head: “Grandpa, I can’t do this. It takes both parties to agree to get married, and Xuelu doesn’t want me to be responsible for her because I massaged her calf.”
What?
Did you massage your calf?
Both Father Wen and Uncle Zong were stunned.
They yelled that shy voice above, is it just massaging their legs?
Wen Rugui looked at the appearance of the two of them, frowning slightly: “Grandpa, Uncle Zong, have you misunderstood something?”
The more he thought about it, the more things went wrong.
They were very enthusiastic to Tong Xuelu before, but after they got down from the stairs, they didn’t dare to look at Tong Xuelu’s eyes, and looked at him coldly.
Now they say that he is a beast and ask him to propose to him, they shouldn’t think they are on it…
Wen Rugui thought of this with an incredible expression: “Grandpa and Uncle Zong, why do you have such nasty thoughts?!”
“…”
The faces of Old Man Wen and Uncle Zong were flushed.
The hall was quiet for a few seconds.
Old man Wen coughed: “I remember, Jiang also asked me to play chess, I want to go there quickly.”
Saying that he turned and fled.
Uncle Zong: “…”
Commander, you can’t be so unkind!
How can he leave him alone at this time and face him like home?
**
After Wen Ru returned to the base, Tong Xuelu’s life returned to its previous calm.
After three days, she went to the photo studio to get the washed photos.
Not to mention, people are good-looking, even if the camera equipment is poor, they can still be taken very beautifully.
Among the three photos, Tong Xuelu likes the photo of the two most.
In the picture, she is sitting on a chair, Wen Rugui standing behind her, hands slightly on her shoulders.
The photographer who helped them take pictures also had some abilities. He captured the tender moments and fixed them on the photos.
Tong Xuelu put the photos back in the envelope, and then sent one of them to the base to Wen Rugui.
Back at home, the three Tong brothers and sisters were shocked when they saw the photos.
Tong Mianmian stared at his big watery eyes and looked shocked: “Sister, why are you in it?”
Tong Xuelu realized that Xiaotuanzi had never seen any photos before, let alone taken them.
She rubbed her head: “This is a photo. It’s as if we look in a mirror, and our appearance will appear in the mirror. Taking a photo is to take a picture of our appearance and keep it forever.”
Tong Mianmian tilted his head, obviously unable to digest these words.
But this does not hinder her curiosity and desire for photos.
The two brothers Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin also looked at the photos eagerly.
Tong Xuelu thought for a while and said, “Next week will be National Day. When that happens, our family will take a family portrait.”
Tong Jiaxin suddenly looked up at her: “Sister, are you serious?”
Tong Xuelu nodded: “Of course it is true, don’t you have pocket money? If you want to take personal photos, you can use your pocket money.”
When Tong Jiaming heard this, his heart moved.
Tong Jiaxin has a toothache.
Don’t think Tong Jiaxin is usually bearish, but who would have thought of the most miserly of the three of him?
Tong Jiaxin didn’t spend a penny of the pocket money she gave them every month, all of which was saved and hidden.
As the eldest brother, Jiaming Tong sometimes buys things for his younger siblings. If the family lacks soy sauce and the like, he will also pay to buy them, so he is the one who has not saved any money.
Tong Mianmian’s chest was straightened, and she said with a voice: “Sister, Mianmian wants to shoot with you, Mianmian is rich!”
Tong Xuelu couldn’t help but laugh out: “That elder sister will take a picture with her soft Fuduo then.”
When Tong Mianmian heard the words, her small chest grew taller and taller.
She wants to spend money for her sister, she is very rich!
Two days later, Tong Xuelu received a notice from the Ministry of Commerce and asked her to go to Minister Lin’s office.
Tong Xuelu was not surprised when he received this news.
She confessed the hotel’s affairs, and then tidied up a little bit before going to the commerce department.
When she came to the Ministry of Commerce, Secretary Zhuo told her that Minister Lin was in the chairman’s office and didn’t know when he would be back.
Tong Xuelu said that there is no problem, and then took out a small packet of beef **** from the bag and handed it over: “Have Secretary Zhuo ever eaten beef **** from our restaurant? Would you like to try one?”
If it were in modern times, it would seem strange to meet people with beef balls.
But in this age, food is too precious, especially delicious food.
Secretary Zhuo was still squeezing his face just now. At this moment, he smelled the scent of beef balls, and his face couldn’t be squeezed anymore: “No need, Manager Tong eat it himself.”
Tong Xuelu took out a bunch of beef **** and handed it over: “Secretary Zhuo doesn’t need to be polite to me. You can try the taste for me. If there is anything that needs improvement, you can tell me.”
There are two beef **** in a bunch, cut into quarters. Secretary Zhuo looked at the beef **** in front of him, and couldn’t refuse the second time.
She took it and took a bite in full praise: “No wonder so many people like your spicy spicy soup, this beef ball is very chewy!”
Tong Xuelu smiled and said: “It’s great that you can like that. By the way, did Minister Lin say what to do for me to come over?”
Secretary Zhuo glanced to the left and right, and said in a low voice: “After your meeting last time, several hotel managers came to find Minister Lin. When I brought the tea in, I listened to it, as if I wanted you to make you spicy Take out the hot formula and let everyone use it together.”
After speaking, Secretary Zhuo quickly added: “Don’t miss out when you will go in, don’t say I told you.”
Tong Xuelu looked at her gratefully: “Don’t worry, Secretary Zhuo, you are so considerate of me, how could I give you out? Next time Secretary Zhuo goes to our restaurant, I will make you a good meal!”
When Secretary Zhuo heard this, a smile appeared on his face.
After ten minutes or so, Minister Lin finally came back.
He frowned, as if there was something worried.
Tong Xuelu smiled and greeted him: “Hello, Minister Lin.”
Minister Lin seemed to see her only then: “Manager Tong is here? Come in.”
As he strode into the office, Secretary Zhuo quickly stood up and poured two glasses of water into it.
Minister Lin sat down on the sofa and pointed to the chair opposite him and said, “Manager Tong sit down.”
Tong Xuelu just sat down: “I wonder if Minister Lin called me over this time, is there something going on?”
Minister Lin picked up the enamel jar and drank a sip of water before slowly saying, “Manager Tong is young and promising. This restaurant is becoming more and more prosperous in your hands.”
Tong Xuelu smiled and said, “All Minister Lin has good leadership!”
Minister Lin smiled: “I recently went to a meeting, and the top leaders severely criticized our Ministry of Commerce, saying that our Ministry of Commerce has been like a day for ten years, and the performance has not been moved. That makes my old face blush.”
“I thought of the restaurant run by Manager Tong, but it has been so prosperous in only half a month. If you ask all the state-owned restaurants in Beijing to make Mala Tang, wouldn’t the performance of the Ministry of Commerce still worry about it? ”
Here comes, here is the one who grabs the recipe.
Tong Xuelu sighed in her heart and made a shocked look on her face: “Does Minister Lin mean you want to buy condiment packs from our restaurant? This is not impossible, but this will increase my work. the amount.”
“Of course I am willing to contribute all my time and energy to the construction of the country, but in addition to being the manager of the state-owned hotel, I also take care of the position of the master of the hotel. The situation of my family must have been heard by Minister Lin.”
“My parents are dead, and my younger siblings are still young. As an older sister, I can only take care of them. So I really have more than enough energy. I can’t help Minister Lin. I can’t feel at ease!”
She wiped tears as she said.
Minister Lin suddenly became anxious: “Manager Tong, don’t cry, you have two jobs alone, you are an active member of the cadre, no one will say you!”
Minister Lin just wanted her to contribute the formula unselfishly, but now he makes her cry like this and he can’t say anything.
There is an 18-year-old girl who does the two jobs alone and has to take care of the younger siblings at home. If at this time he asks the other party to give up the formula, once it is passed out, wouldn’t he become a bully bastard?
Tong Xuelu wiped her tears: “No wonder everyone said that Minister Lin is the reincarnated Bao Qingtian, doing things fair and just, now listening to Minister Lin say that, I am relieved!”
Minister Lin was taken to a high position. In order to maintain his fair and impartial image, the words in his heart became more and more unspeakable.
Tong Xuelu continued: “Just now Minister Lin proposed to buy condiment packs from our hotel. I definitely can’t do it alone, but I can let the staff in the store do it together. But this way, they can be considered as an extra point. Work, can it count as an extra salary for them?”
Minister Lin frowned, and was about to say that it is impossible to calculate an extra salary.
The salary is issued by the Ministry of Finance above. Where does he go to pay the money?
Tong Xuelu did not give him a chance to speak: “This salary does not need to be paid by the Ministry of Commerce. As long as other restaurants go to our restaurant to buy seasoning packages, the price is set by us, and the extra money is even a subsidy for our employees. Lin What do you think of this, Minister?”
Minister Lin held the enamel jar in his hand and began to meditate.
In this way, the Ministry of Commerce does not need to pay them an extra salary, and the problem of other restaurants wanting Mala Tang formula is also solved.
Hotels can purchase from the supply and marketing cooperative, and naturally they can purchase from Manager Tong’s hotel, which is not against the regulations.
When the hotel’s performance has gone up, he can also explain it to the leaders.
As for setting the price by herself, she will ultimately determine it through her side. I believe that a smart person like her would not dare to set a price that was too outrageous.
It would kill three birds with one stone in this way.
The more Minister Lin thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was a good idea, of course he couldn’t express it so directly.
“The suggestion made by Manager Tong is also good, but you can go back and make a plan for me for specific things. When I look back, I think it’s OK, and I’ll give you an answer.
Tong Xuelu saw through Minister Lin’s tricks at a glance, and nodded again and again: “Okay, I will go back and make a plan based on the advice given by Minister Lin!”
Tong Xuelu pushed this idea to Minister Lin, saying that it was his idea.
If you have any questions in the future, let me ask Minister Lin directly.
Coming out of the office, Tong Xuelu asked Secretary Zhuo to go to the restaurant for dinner in the future.
Secretary Zhuo looked at her with a relaxed smile, guessing that she had settled the matter.
She also deliberately made friends with a capable person like Tong Xuelu in her heart, so she smiled and agreed.
Walking out of the commercial department, Tong Xuelu raised the corner of her mouth slightly.
Let other restaurants go to her restaurant to purchase, and the proceeds won’t have to be handed over to the country.
After that, she would still give the money to the Ministry of Commerce, and let the Ministry of Commerce send it to them in the form of subsidies.
In this way, no one dared to criticize it.
**
An unexpected guest came to the hotel this day.
This uninvited guest is not someone else, but Fang Jingyuan’s **** eldest brother Fang Wenyuan.
Fang Wenyuan ordered a Mala Tang after coming to the restaurant, and ate it quietly in the restaurant.
There is no demon from beginning to end.
Upon seeing this, Tong Xuelu didn’t take him to heart.
The restaurant opens the door to do business. Anyone can come and eat as long as they are willing to give money.
Unexpectedly, Fang Wenyuan walked over to her after eating, and said for a long time: “It will be my birthday in two days.”
Tong Xuelu rolled her eyes: “You **** with me on your birthday?”
Fang Wenyuan looked at her incredulously: “…”
He has been struggling for a long time since he went back to the restaurant, and he didn’t believe that Tong Xuelu had changed his heart.
Thinking of his birthday before, Tong Xuelu is always very active in preparing birthday gifts for him.
But after waiting for several days, Tong Xuelu didn’t say anything, so he came here to remind her this time, but he didn’t want to hear this!
In the base.
Love Sancai Chicken ate together in the dining hall.
After eating, Wen Rugui wiped his hands with a handkerchief, and then opened the package in front of Zhou Yan and Huang Qimin.
Zhou Yan and Huang Qimin saw him come to the dining room with a package just now, and they were very curious: “Ruigui, did your partner send you something again?”
Wen Rugui’s face was faint: “Yeah.”
Speaking, he took out a packet of dried meat from the package, then gave Zhou Yan and Huang Qimin a glance, then put it back.
Zhou Yan: “…”
Huang Qimin: “…”
Do you dare to show off in front of them on purpose?
After taking out the dried meat, he took out the biscuits and put them back. Finally, he took out an envelope and took out three photos from it.
Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows: “Your partner finally sent you a photo? But it’s a bit late. We both received it early in the morning.”
Huang Qimin nodded.
Wen Rugui: “This is a photo taken by me and my subject. Do you want to see it?”
Take a picture! ! !
Zhou Yan and Huang Qimin were shocked on the spot.
They haven’t taken a group photo yet!
It’s not that they can’t afford the money, but their target is embarrassed to take a photo with them!
In this era, men and women would take pictures together, all waiting until they were getting married.
Is Wen Rugui going to get married?
The two expressed their doubts.
Wen Rugui shook his head: “No, just take a group photo together.”
That’s it!
Zhou Yan and Huang Qimin were immediately sour by these words.
They didn’t take a photo together, and they lost again in this round.
hateful!
