The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 548
Wang Shulan said: "People say that it is the Buddha's business to bless or not, but burning incense and kowtow is a must. Then people say that if it is really a blessing, it will not be able to bless you. The Buddha is so busy. Good people burn incense to bless them, but what if bad people burn incense? bless?
I just want peace of mind and ask myself to do more good things.

One of the grandmothers was the most honest. She said that she had lived for 97 years and had already become a living Bodhisattva in their family.The Buddha is just a sign, standing there and asking people to kowtow, and he doesn't know where he stays.As long as she is free from illness and disaster, it is the blessing of her children, and offering incense and kowtow means talking about good weather and good weather, and the family is healthy and safe. "

"Did you go to Longevity Village?" Zhou Xiaomei asked.

"No, the Longevity Village is in Guangxi, not in Yunnan. But the people there live long too, and the youngest grandmas are all over eighty.

Look at their lives and you will know what it means to have no desires, no desires, and no struggle with the world.Living in a tulou building, there are only a few simple pieces of furniture in the room, plus a bed.At that age, he went up the mountain to collect firewood by himself, his legs and feet were quite sharp, and there was nothing wrong with him.

That's how people maintain their health. They eat whole grains and green vegetables grown in their own land, and drink gushing mountain spring water.No matter how hot the day is, the house is not hot, and the air conditioner blows down the mountain.

You can cook in a pot in the courtyard, simply seasoning and natural ingredients, and the food is all original and authentic, and you will not get high blood pressure or diabetes if you eat it.

Almost all grandpas and grandmas drink, and it is a pleasure to watch others drink.You pour me this cup, and I pour you the next cup. Not saying a word is worth a thousand words. How can I describe it—two words—happiness! "

Wang Shulan's description made Lao Tan have a picture in front of his eyes, which was very warm, which reminded him of his mother who stayed in his hometown.The picture soon changed to the place of Qingshan Daqingshan, which reminded him of the elder brother Xiyuan, Baolitu and the old lama in the beautiful valley——
He felt that he should go to Daqingshan when he had time.

No matter how good the wine is, there is a time to drink it.

After eating, the three picked up the table together, sat on the sofa and drank tea for a while, and then went back to their rooms to get ready to rest.

In Zhou Xiaomei's room, Wang Shulan and the others were leaning side by side on the head of the bed, each holding a bottle of mineral water, and they seemed to be chatting for a while.

"I'll have a meeting with the management tomorrow morning, will you attend?" Zhou Xiaomei asked.

"Participate, but don't express opinions, just listen in." Wang Shulan said.

"You're really throwing away the shopkeeper now."

"I don't know if I don't have an official body. I don't care about my business when I eat idle food. I'm at ease."

"That's fine too—you'll have to be there when I talk to the landlord about the rent in the afternoon."

"That's for sure. If you don't talk about it, I will talk about it." Wang Shulan said: "Don't look at the business now, but it will take some time to return to normal. People are afraid now and don't want to eat in restaurants. Waiting for this It is estimated that it will take at least four months for the stocks to slow down, and it will be good if they don’t lose money during this period.”

"I don't think we can stay at home for that long, three months to death." Zhou Xiaomei said, and then said: "Many dumpling restaurants in Hohhot and provincial capitals are out of business, and few of them are open. I guess the same is true in Beijing. , this is an opportunity for our family.”

Wang Shulan said: "That's right—the main thing is that our family is closed for the New Year, which will save a lot of losses. In addition, all the employees have returned. It's not as short of people as other families, and it will return to normal quickly."

"I just don't know when this epidemic will end completely."

"I guess it's about the same as SARS—"

"I hope—hey—by the way, Miss Wang, do you still remember the boss Zhang from the Mingzhu Dumpling Restaurant in Zhengzhou, Henan?" Zhou Xiaomei asked suddenly.

Wang Shulan thought for a while and said, "Remember, isn't it called Zhang Liguo?"

"Yes, his name is Zhang Liguo. He wants to introduce our family's point system management. He sent his family's management to the provincial capital to study a few years ago. He didn't go through the whole process when he finished the study. He meant that we should send someone. Help import it, give money, paid service."

"The main reason is how much money to give? It's boring to have less money. Can he afford more money? Besides, no one can see for sure in the current situation. What if it will be closed again someday, right?"

"He also took this into consideration before rushing to rectify. His two stores have lost a lot this time, and if they don't rectify, they may turn yellow, and the loss will be even greater."

"It's not his family that lost, and it's not Huang's family—oh, by the way, why are you so concerned about his family? Is there something wrong?" Wang Shulan asked suspiciously and teasingly.

"You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately." Zhou Xiaomei warned.

"I'm just kidding you—" Wang Shulan hit Zhou Xiaomei with a mineral water bottle, and then said seriously: "This Mr. Zhang is not bad, he is a manager, as a colleague, we need to help.

Mainly who will go?They have to be able to speak and execute, and they have to stay there for at least three months. "

"There is a powerful person in our family, but——I dare not say it."

"You mean your uncle?"

"Yeah." Zhou Xiaomei nodded.

"He can't do it alone, he has to find a deputy."

"Do you still need to find a deputy? You go directly, just relying on your sister Wang's temperament, you don't have to say anything, and people will listen to you."

"Go, I can't do this job, don't mess around here." Wang Shulan went on to say, "You dare not tell him, let me tell you, and see if he agrees. He knows the point system best, so if he goes Just a month."

Then Wang Shulan asked the actual question: "How much did you pay?"

"If a large company imports a management system, it will cost at least a few million dollars. Let's ask for a friendly price, maybe 500,000." Zhou Xiaomei said.

"You are getting better at doing business."

"I can't help it. Life is tight and difficult now. I have to earn all kinds of money. Grasshoppers are also meat."

Wang Shulan was amused by Zhou Xiaomei's words, and after laughing, she lit a cigarette and took a puff.

Seeing that she didn't move while smoking, Zhou Xiaomei urged: "I'm still smoking, you should go over and tell my uncle."

"Don't be in a hurry, let's talk about when it's too late, it's time to catch up tomorrow morning."

"Oh, he can't sleep now, hurry over."

"Tomorrow morning."

"Let me tell you, this is an opportunity for you. My uncle is going to Changsha tomorrow, and he doesn't know when he will come back." Zhou Xiaomei said.

"It doesn't matter to me whether he goes or not—"

"Don't be stubborn, I can hear your heartbeat." Zhou Xiaomei laughed after finishing speaking.

To be honest, does Wang Shulan miss Lao Tan?think.

Once a woman is willing to sleep with a man, and this man is admired and loved by herself, then this man has an irreplaceable position in her heart, even if she is not together, she still misses it, this is love.

Of course, it is impossible for Wang Shulan and Lao Tan to be together tonight because of Zhou Xiaomei.

This is not to say that the two men are hypocritical.

Practically speaking, people have face, not to mention they are all adults, and they are over [-]. It is impossible not to be able to control themselves in the presence of a third party.

What's more, Zhou Xiaomei is still called Old Tan Xiaoshu.

People, sometimes you have to face the face, no matter how strong your desire is, you have to suppress it, because you have to face the sun the next day.
