The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 366

The next day, Zhou Xiaomei met with Mulan first. The two discussed buying new year's goods, gave gifts to the unit and the leader in charge of her, and then arranged for the fire inspection in the store.

It was already afternoon after finishing all these tasks, the two of them returned to the Haidong store and asked the kitchen to cook dumplings.

While eating dumplings, Zhou Xiaomei asked about Meng Meng. Mulan briefly said, and finally said: "Li Zhiwen resigned, and he couldn't continue working. He left yesterday. Meng Meng and others divorced him directly after half a year."

"Is Meng Meng older than Li Zhiwen?" Zhou Xiaomei asked.

"Five years older." Mulan said.

"To find a partner, you have to find someone who is older than you. You can't do it if you are younger, because you are immature." Zhou Xiaomei said.

Mulan smiled and said, "Not necessarily, it depends on the person. I'm older than Yang Zhijun, six years older, and it's not bad."

"You two are an exception." Zhou Xiaomei said: "The main reason is that you are sensible and handsome, so don't bother with him. Then Yang Zhijun is just a young child. I don't know him yet. As long as you have enough to eat and drink, there is nothing wrong with you." , nothing wrong with it."

"Well, quite obedient." Mulan said contentedly.

"By the way, has Huang Lijuan been here recently? How is the new shop in Baotou?" Zhou Xiaomei asked.

"She hasn't been here recently. The Baotou store is very good. I've been there for the last two days, and the price is more than [-] a day." Mulan said.

"I'll go to Baotou tomorrow." Zhou Xiaomei then asked, "How about the table reservation this year?"

Mulan said: "It's very good. As of yesterday, we have booked more than 600,000 tables, which is more than [-] million initially. There are still reservations in these two days. This year we can break through [-]."

"good."

"It's just that the price of raw materials has risen sharply, and the profit is not as high as last year."

Zhou Xiaomei said: "There is no way. Not only our family is like this, but every family is like this. After the New Year, there will be quite a few families who can't do it."

"It's strange to say that restaurants are open. If there are yellow ones, there will be others." Mulan said.

"Hey, it's the same as marriage. If there is marriage, there will be divorce. It mainly depends on how you manage it. If you can manage it for a long time, the days will be better; if you can't manage it, it will be short-lived, and it will be over as soon as the enthusiasm passes." Zhou Xiaomei said.

After dinner, Zhou Xiaomei went to the mall to buy gifts, and drove to Yanzi's house.Chinese New Year is coming soon, the boss's house has to be seen, not a gift.At the same time, report to Zhang Yu about his son's situation in the provincial capital-his son will not come back for the New Year, and will go to the partner's house.

This kid is quite capable, and took down Shangguan Qingyuan within half a year after arriving in the provincial capital.

Zhang Yu was tidying up the living room, and Yanzi was practicing the piano with her daughter. Seeing Zhou Xiaomei coming, the couple immediately greeted Zhou Xiaomei warmly.

After a while of politeness, the three of them sat down, and Yanzi asked, "When did you come back?"

"Yesterday." Zhou Xiaomei said.

"How's my kid doing?" Zhang Yu asked his son first.

"It's a good job. It's not bad. There's development." Zhou Xiaomei said, "He's handsome, he's good at business, and he's good at business. Everyone in the office likes him."

Someone praised that his son was naturally happy, Zhang Yu said with a smile: "That kid, Mao Leng'er, can't speak."

"He can't speak in front of you, but he can talk outside. He has a sweet mouth, and he doesn't open his mouth when he sees people." Zhou Xiaomei said.

Although Yanzi is a stepmother, she also cares about the child's affairs, and asked, "Xiaomei, have you seen the other person? How is it?"

Zhang Yu also planned to ask, but when his wife asked, he became concerned and waited for Zhou Xiaomei to say.

"Let me tell you that you two are very good. They are big and beautiful. They are the head of human resources at the headquarters. Do you think they can be bad?" Zhou Xiaomei said.

"It's definitely not bad." Zhang Yu affirmed his future daughter-in-law, and then asked, "What's your last name? What's her family like?"

"You guys still don't know what your surname is after all the trouble?" Zhou Xiaomei laughed, and then said, "The surname is Shangguan, Shangguan Qingyuan, from Faku, and her family is in good condition. Her father is the village secretary."

"Where's the village secretary—" Yanzi said, she wanted to say that it was very good, but she swallowed the words again.The three words of the village secretary reminded her of Lao Feng, and her heart darkened.

Although Lao Feng has been away for many years, to be honest, she still thinks of it from time to time.It is said that a person's life is fate, and he does not know when he will meet someone, he will go back when he meets a villain, and he will prosper when he meets a noble person.

Lao Feng is a noble person, if he hadn't met him, he would not be like this, and there would be no Aqiao.

Maybe I'm still dawdling in the mahjong club.

People, there is nowhere to go, 30 years in the east of the river and 30 years in the west of the river, as long as you keep running forward, always aiming for the good and wanting to do the good, although there are bumps and bumps, there will be good results in the end.

Zhou Xiaomei and Zhang Yu chatted for a while, and talked about the restaurant, and they got up to leave at five o'clock.

She went to the central kitchen store first, and Yang Zhijun happened to be there, and the two chatted for a while about fire inspections and preparations for the Spring Festival.

After coming out of the central kitchen store, I went to the Jinqiao store and the Saiwai Restaurant, and planned to go to the development zone store. Seeing that it was already [-]:[-], it was too late, so I drove home.

After arriving home, the three children and their parents had already gone to bed, but Cao Jiadong was not asleep and was waiting for her.

Cao Jiadong asked her if she had eaten, and then she remembered that she hadn't had dinner yet, so she asked if she had anything to eat.Cao Jiadong said yes, and told her to wash up first, and then go and warm her up.

After Zhou Xiaomei washed up, Cao Jiadong's food was also heated up, and she took it directly to the bedroom.

"You too, running for a day without even eating, your stomach can take it." Cao Jiadong complained about his wife, feeling sorry for his daughter-in-law.

"Forgot." Zhou Xiaomei laughed, seeing her favorite fried haggis, stewed potatoes with beans and a bowl of hot rice on the small table, she sat down happily.

After taking two bites, I felt that there was something wrong with it, so I turned around and asked Cao Jiadong, "Husband, don't you want to eat?"

"Don't eat, I've eaten." Cao Jiadong said.

"Eat something with me."

"I am full--"

"You don't have to eat, just sit with me."

Cao Jiadong smiled, knowing what his wife meant, he went out of the bedroom to get some wine, sat down at the small table, and poured two glasses.

Zhou Xiaomei smiled and rewarded him with a wink.

"I'm about to be trained into an alcoholic by you." Cao Jiadong said.

"Hee hee, have a drink, or you won't be able to sleep." Zhou Xiaomei said with a laugh.

Cao Jiadong picked up the wine glass and touched his wife. After each took a sip, he said, "I have a drink with Dad tonight. Dad has a lot of alcohol, and he can't drink it."

"Hehe, you heard that the wine shop has a small drinking capacity." Zhou Xiaomei said proudly.

Cao Jiadong nodded silently, and put vegetables in his wife's bowl.

"Tell you that I'm a natural drinker. I've never been drunk. At most, I drank three catties at a time. Why don't I just drive a tractor to deliver wine?"

"Don't drink like that in the future, it will hurt your body."

"It's okay, your wife drinks a lot."

"You can't drink too much, no matter how old you are."

"Drinking has nothing to do with age, you know? It's mainly about mood. Drink when you're in a good mood, and you won't get drunk if you're in a good mood. If you're in a bad mood, you can just drink a glass and drink it up."

Zhou Xiaomei took a big sip of wine, and then said: "I drink for pleasure, when I'm tired, when I'm happy, and when I see the drinking for the pimp—"

"Do you drink when you're angry?" Cao Jiadong asked.

"Don't drink when you are angry, beat someone!"

Cao Jiadong laughed.

"Let me tell you, don't make me angry. If you make me angry, you can eat it." Then he emphasized: "Also, don't flirt with other women to sneak around or do anything wrong. If I know It's-"

Zhou Xiaomei looked at Cao Jiadong, and said harshly, "Hmph! I don't hit or scold, I cook good food and drink with you, and when I drink you down, I take off my pants, grab your thing in one hand, and scissors in the other—"

She gestured the exaggerated gestures and said, "Click it off!"
