Far away in Moscow

Chapter 120 Open tomorrow

Fang Qing couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. Looking at the other Russians, although they were a bit cautious in front of their colleagues, it was obviously difficult to resist the temptation of delicious food in front of them.It's a pity that they don't know how to use chopsticks. Whether it's kung pao chicken, stir-fried kidney or tenderloin, they have to eat with a knife and fork, which is a bit embarrassing.

The Chinese guests also praised Lao Wei's craftsmanship.The boy from Shandong ate his head down and muttered to the HLJ guy in a low voice: "Try this Lu cuisine, it's the authentic taste of our hometown! Look at our cook, what's the fried one called? Don't say goodbye Yes, just look at this potato shreds, each one is even in thickness, all of them are as thick as a matchstick, and the knife skills are much better than ours."

When Hu Yi heard him praise his knife skills, he immediately felt relieved.But there were other students present at the table, so he couldn't be too complacent, so he hurriedly said: "Where is there, Liuge Restaurant still has a lot of good dishes, everyone has their own strengths, and there is no such thing as a good one. bad points."

"Old Hu, there's no need to be modest about this kind of thing. Our cook is barely capable, but compared with your chef, it's just as good as it gets." HLJ guy smiled at Hu Yi: "Business in Sixth Brother's store is already bad. I think we'll have to drink the northwest wind when you open."

"Where is this talking? Our shop is too small. You see, the four big tables are packed to the brim. It's a small business." Hu Yi has dealt with HLJ guy several times, and he knows that he is sincere, so what he said just now The words were probably just a casual remark, and there was no intention of provocation.What's more, Sixth Brother has a lot of ways to get money. The restaurant is just a place he arranges in the school to facilitate reception and contact, and he doesn't care too much about the revenue.

But the words on the scene still have to be said.Hu Yi paused for a while, pretending to be indifferent and smiled casually: "Besides, our staff here has limited energy. Today, we put in a lot of effort to cook a few more dishes to entertain guests. From now on, the daily business will mainly focus on rice and fast food. How much impact will it have?"

There is no need to talk too thoroughly among colleagues, let's stop here.Hu Yi then changed the subject, raised his cup and bowed slightly: "The shop will open tomorrow, please take care of it in the future. If there is anything that can't be done, please bear with me, brothers and sisters."

It was lively until after ten o'clock, and the guests left one after another.Xia Yan, Xiang Nan and the others stayed behind to help clean up, and Fang Qing took out a thousand rings of earth red bought from the big market and spread it out on the table: "Take it out and hang it when it opens at noon tomorrow, festive and lively .”

"Yes, there are also two big flower baskets sent by others. They are very beautiful and will be displayed tomorrow!" Old Wei sat back on the chair and lazily rested, then turned to ask Hu Yi: "Little Hu, didn't you say Do you want the whole couplet? Don’t forget to bring it and paste it at noon tomorrow.”

"It's ready, it's here." Hu Yi was inspired by the cultural festival a few days ago, and came up with the idea of ​​making a couplet and pasting it at the entrance of the hotel, and spent a lot of brains on it.

He ran to the back of the cash register and took out the couplet, and held it in his hands with some pride: "I don't know how to write with a brush. I specially asked someone to help me write it. Can you take a look at it?"

Everyone looked together and saw that the upper and lower couplets are:

Frying, frying, cooking and frying, bringing together the best products from all directions to make delicacies,
In spring, summer, autumn and winter, welcome friends from all over the world in the cave of blessing.

"Good! That's great!" Everyone applauded and praised, but everyone's views are different.

Fang Qing was the first to express his opinion: "Good association, both refined and popular, not only praised our store, but also praised the customers."

Old Wei tilted his head and smirked: "No, it reads very smoothly!"

Anna couldn't understand Chinese, so she had to point her finger: "Wow, red paper, black ink, every word looks like a painting."

Cauliflower smacked her lips in satisfaction: "This couplet is pretty much the same, it's much better than last time's 'Everything is free, so generous, nothing is really stingy'."

Xiang Nan was full of admiration: "It's great! It's really interesting to read. Brother, did you come up with this yourself?"

"Of course." Hu Yi turned to look at Xia Yan proudly: "What do you think?"

Xia Yan stared at the couplet and pondered for a moment, then commented: "Well, there is an 'eight' in the first couplet, which coincides with the eight major cuisines of frying, frying and cooking; there is a 'four' in the second couplet, which corresponds to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. It's a bit interesting."

"Oh!" Everyone nodded in agreement.Old Wei Xi said: "It turns out that there are other ways in it! Xiao Hu claims to be a cultural person all day long. I always thought it was bragging, but I didn't expect that he really pretended to be a lot of things!"

Hu Yi raised his head and smiled, and was about to put away the couplet when Fang Qing waved his hand and said, "Since it's taken out, post it! Don't wait for tomorrow!"

"Alright." Hu Yi found out the glue, and called Xia Yan and others to come out and help.As soon as I opened the door, I saw that the sporadic snowflakes had turned into heavy snow, and the ground in front of the door was a vast expanse of white.

"What a big snow!" Xiang Nan raised her head excitedly and exclaimed, "I've never seen such a big snow before."

"It's so cold." Xia Yan wrapped her coat tightly.

"Let's have a snowball fight!" Cauliflower suggested loudly.

"Okay!" Xiang Nan clapped his hands, "Help my brother paste the couplet first!"

The four carefully pasted the couplets on both sides of the gate. Hu Yi watched them play for a while, smoking a cigarette with a smile on his face. Seemingly melancholy, Anna looked at Fang Qing affectionately, with a hint of sadness in her smile.

"Hey, what's the matter with you two?" Hu Yi patted the snow on his body: "Tomorrow is the opening day, why are you still feeling sad?"

"Yeah! I drank a few more glasses in the evening, feeling sad." Fang Qing blinked hard twice: "I think that I, Fang Qing, have been wandering alone for several years, and I am still in school with you young people all day after forty years. Boys get mixed up."

He said and breathed out softly: "Now, with the help of you and Anna, I finally have a business of my own. Although it is only a small shop of tens of square meters, it is finally—— Well, Don't say anything. From now on, let's work together as buddies and help each other!"

"Yes! Work together, help each other!" Old Wei lightly dipped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, trying to imitate Fang Qing and say a few words: "I miss my old Wei these years..."

But after all, his education level is not high, and the ink in his stomach is limited. After thinking for a long time, he simply said: "It's not easy these years. From now on, we will all be grasshoppers on the same rope. Let's discuss what's going on. Work hard and make more money!"

Anna couldn't understand what they were talking about, but by observing their words, she guessed that the two were expressing emotion.She turned her head and smiled at Hu Yi, stretched out her hand to caress Fang Qing's shoulder twice, and said softly: "It's getting late, I'm going home."
