Chapter 121
The hot dishes came to the table one after another, and Li Tang suddenly found out that each time the dishes were served, a different aunt came. Except for the waiters, even the dish washers came. Everyone was secretly looking at Jiang Qinqin, and then gave him a meaningful look. .Especially Aunt Wang, who looked at Jiang Qinqin with a particularly fanatical look, and Li Tang was afraid that she would pounce on her if she was not paying attention.
Fortunately, the aunts were quite restrained, and they didn't disturb too much after serving the dishes. At most, they stayed for a while by pouring a drink or changing the pelvis.
These aunts basically watched Li Tang grow up. They are all ordinary aunts in the catering service industry of supply and marketing cooperatives. Sometimes they are cute, but when they hate them, they are really annoying.
Li Tang guessed that his father had taken care of him in advance, otherwise he would have gathered around Jiang Qinqin to sign autographs and ask all kinds of gossip.
"Li Tang, there are too many dishes, tell them not to serve them."
Unknowingly, I served a large table of dishes, water town, the main river fresh food, there are stir-fried shrimp, shredded eel in oil, steamed river eel, squirrel mandarin fish, fried rice cake with hairy crab, all of which are hard dishes that the restaurant can sell.In addition, there are gluten pot with mushrooms, celery lily, buckwheat, etc., pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables.
Jiang Qinqin was dazzled.
But while talking, another steaming assorted casserole was served, which contained a lot of things, including egg dumplings, meatballs, pork skin, fried fish, bacon, quail eggs, river prawns, venetian knots, winter bamboo shoots and so on.
"Okay, this is the last dish, hurry up and eat it while it's hot!"
Li Tang enthusiastically scooped up a bowl for each of them.
To be honest, the waste of this meal is really a waste, and many dishes are just tasted.But how can he show enthusiasm if he is not rich? Li Tang wants face, and Lao Li loves face even more, so he definitely wants to help his son look good.
Red bayberry wine is made with the most common 52-degree red panda, because the addition of rock sugar neutralizes the acidity of bayberry and the spiciness of white wine, and the taste is good.Jiang Qinqin drank a lot unknowingly, she was really a little tipsy today, her flushed face was so cute, it made people want to pinch her.
"Hey, it's too bad, I can't eat anymore."
Jiang Qinqin leaned on the back of the chair, looked at Li Tang with blurred eyes, and said, "Today is the most satisfying and satisfying meal I have eaten since I came to Shanghai. It's over, I will definitely gain another two catties this time."
Jiang Qinqin had already taken off that bloated down jacket, and was wearing a pure white sweater on her upper body, outlining her graceful figure.Li Tang turned his eyes around her and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of growing two catties of meat? Let's continue eating at night. There are many other dishes on my menu. It's almost Chinese New Year, let's grow him five pounds first." Talk about catty meat."
"roll!"
Jiang Qinqin scolded coquettishly, then shook her head regretfully and said, "Not today, we have booked a flight at five o'clock, and it's time to leave soon."
She raised her wrist to check the time. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and it was far away from Pudong Airport.
"It's okay, I'll have a sip of tea in a while, take it easy, and I'll take you to the airport."
Jiang Qinqin thought she still had to take that broken car, so she hurriedly said, "Don't bother, we can just take a taxi. Besides, you're already drinking."
Xiao Tang followed suit and said, "Yes, Brother Li, let's go by ourselves."
She didn't want to be thrown in a compartment without a seat like cargo.
Li Tang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't drive when I'm drunk. I'll call a car for you, and after I send you to the airport, I'll come back with the car."
Although there is nothing wrong with asking them to take a taxi to the airport by themselves, after all, they have to be responsible for their safety when they treat guests to dinner today.As the saying goes: Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
The two girls breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, Jiang Qinqin felt a little sorry, and after pondering for a while, said: "Then... then I will trouble you."
It was more than an hour's drive from his hometown to Pudong Airport. Just after four o'clock in the afternoon, the Santana station wagon rented by Li Tang was parked steadily on the side of the road at the drop-off gate of Pudong Airport.
Li Tang got out of the car and helped them unload the suitcases, and said goodbye to Jiang Qinqin: "It's not easy to park here, so I won't take you inside. Give me a call when you get there."
To be honest, at the beginning Jiang Qinqin asked Li Tang to treat him to dinner, and insisted on going to his restaurant for dinner. She felt a little bit difficult and revengeful, but at this moment she felt that the other party cared about her. This kind of feeling, the soft heart is moved by it.Especially drinking some wine at noon, the bayberry wine has a lot of stamina, and the stimulation of alcohol made her more emotionally sensitive.
Just when Li Tang said goodbye to her with a smile, she opened her arms and hugged him.
Ruanyu Wenxiang embraced her, and Li Tang was stunned at first, but immediately responded and hugged her into his arms.
This hug lasted about ten seconds before Jiang Qinqin whispered in his ear: "Thank you!"
Then he let go of his arms, but in the end the guy was still hugging him tightly.
Even though Jiang Qinqin expressed her feelings, she still couldn't help the heat on her face at this moment, and she could only whisper angrily: "Let go!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the two powerful arms around her tighten, making her body cling closer to each other. Just when she was ashamed, she suddenly let go.
Jiang Qinqin took a step back and saw that the man in front of him still had a look of reluctance on his face. She couldn't get the words out of her mouth. She just gave him a blank look and said angrily, "Goodbye."
Turn around and leave.
Li Tang shouted at her back: "Don't forget to call me!"
Jiang Qinqin smiled when she heard the voice behind her.
The assistant Xiao Tang on the side was dumbfounded when he saw the scene just now. He didn't hurry to follow Jiang Qinqin until he saw Jiang Qinqin walking towards the airport hall, dragging two large suitcases.
……
Seeing the aunts cleaning hard, Li Tang felt ashamed just looking at it, so he took a rag to help wipe the glass door.
"Little boss, don't move, I will come."
After wiping it twice, Aunt Wang ran over and snatched the cloth in his hand, and said with a smile, "You just sit and have tea, we can do this little work."
In the past two years, everyone's income has increased, and it has become popular to celebrate the New Year in restaurants, saving worry and effort.Therefore, in the past two years, the business of the New Year's Eve night in a slightly higher-end hotel has been very hot, especially private rooms are often hard to find.
It stands to reason that his own restaurant can be regarded as high-end in the urban area, but Lao Li has always adhered to the previous work and rest method, that is, the business closes on 29th, cleans up in the morning on New Year's Eve, and then opens until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
Why don't you do such a good business at the New Year's Eve?
In Lao Li's words, others use foreigners, but we use locals. Foreigners don't go back to celebrate the New Year in order to make money, but locals want to celebrate the New Year.Forget it, you can earn a lot of money from copper tin, so let's all live in peace and have a good New Year.
The cleaning on the morning of New Year’s Eve is voluntary, but few people are absent every year, unless there is something at home, because Lao Li will give red envelopes to every employee who volunteers to help with the cleaning.The money is not much, it was 100 yuan in previous years, but this year the business has increased to [-] yuan.Of course, the year-end bonus has already been issued in advance.
Aunt Wang has been very attentive to Li Tang these days, because the last time Jiang Qinqin came over, Li Tang not only helped her get Jiang Qinqin's autograph, but also specially called her up to take a photo with Jiang Qinqin.
Aunt Wang was as happy as a little girl at the time, so don't underestimate the enthusiasm of the old aunt for chasing stars.
There are many people and strength, with the efforts of more than a dozen aunts, the entire hotel, including the room where the father and father lived on the third floor, were cleaned within half a day.
When it was almost time to finish work, Lao Li, who had left early in the morning, came back with a small bread.After half a year of hard work, Lao Li and Aunt Xiao finally made substantial progress.
Li Tang also underestimated the acceptance ability of the little girl born in the [-]s.It is said that Aunt Xiao's daughter who went to a key high school not only did not reject Lao Li, an amiable and capable uncle, but even helped match her mother and Lao Li together.
Hey, Xiaopang is also born in the [-]s, why is there such a big gap?The high probability is due to the lack of reading, and it is said that reading makes sense.The little girl from the family can be admitted to a key high school, and she may study more than Xiaopang, so she is more sensible.
It turned out that Lao Li planned to bring the two of them to a restaurant this year to celebrate the New Year together, but Aunt Xiao said that as long as she didn't remarry for a day, she would still be in the house of her deceased husband. During the Chinese New Year, she would bring her daughter to pay homage to her deceased husband, so it was not convenient to come here.
So Lao Li brought the semi-finished ingredients prepared the next day to Aunt Xiao early this morning, and of course gave the little girl a big red envelope.
As a son, Li Tang is very supportive of this point. After all, Lao Li is 52 years old, and he is almost fifty years old.Aunt Xiao is in her early forties, she still has a charm, and she can still let Lao Li Bai have a daughter. First of all, you have to pay, otherwise why should they follow you? Could it be that you are good?
When people reach middle age, everyone is very realistic. Without a certain economic foundation, it is useless to be a good person.
At noon, the father and I had a simple bite, and Lao Li began to prepare for this year's New Year's Eve dinner.Although there are only two grandparents in the family, we still have to celebrate the New Year for our ancestors, so we must not be sloppy.
The custom here is to celebrate the New Year with the ancestors and deceased relatives before eating the New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve.
Lao Li is a good cook. Sometimes when the restaurant business is good and the kitchen is too busy, he will cook by himself.
In fact, Lao Li has always been a very legendary existence in Li Tang's mind. When he was young, relying on his stature and boldness, he soon became the leader of the educated youth.And his brain is active, and he can always find a way to survive during those difficult years.
Back then, he was able to catch up with a dainty capitalist eldest lady, and hugged a beautiful woman back, which was more or less like "Panlu Deng Xiaoxian".Of course, this is a relative term. At that time, everyone was a hard-working educated youth. Only he lived a good life, so he showed his ability.
Then an old man with a child can still earn money in this family business, which is enough to kill 90% of his peers in seconds.
On the afternoon of the New Year's Eve, the whole old city was very quiet. Apart from a few large restaurants on the street, most of the shops were closed. There were not many cars on the road, and sporadic firecrackers could be heard occasionally from a certain corner.
In his own restaurant, Lao Li was busy in the kitchen downstairs. Li Tang wanted to call for help, but Lao Li thought he was clumsy, and the more he helped, the busier he was, he chased him upstairs.
Sitting on the balcony outside my living room, the closed balcony is like a small sun room, even though the sun is setting, it still maintains a certain temperature.
Li Tang flipped through the outdated set of "Swordsman".Reading requires patience, especially books that have lost their freshness after reading countless times, and even some passages can be recited.
Sometimes Li Tang also finds it annoying and can't read it, but he must force himself to read it, and don't let inertia take the upper hand.If you look at it like this, you can see it again.Only when you really look into it, every time you look at it, you will find that there are new gains every time.
When I think about it, when I was reading a book, I was always looking at the flowers on horseback. In fact, this is not real reading.The real reading needs to be savored slowly, so as to absorb the mystery in the book.
Just when he saw Lin Pingzhi was about to practice evil swordsmanship and prepare to leave the palace, the mobile phone placed on the coffee table next to him made a vibrating sound of "buzzing".
He picked up the phone, glanced at the caller ID, a smile appeared on his face, and he connected the phone: "Hello, Qinqin..."
The first!
