Return to the era: starting from the state-owned hotel

When Su Qingfeng heard this sentence, he was subconsciously happy, and then after a while he figured out that something was wrong.

Su Qingfeng felt a little aggrieved, "No, Manager Hao. There's no such thing as this! I should have had this annual leave, but now it's you who rewards me..."

Manager Hao chuckled: "The number of times you have asked for leave, if I hadn't helped you behind the scenes, you wouldn't have had the annual leave this year."

He Nian stood nearby, a little unconvinced.

He muttered something, "It doesn't matter what the relationship is. The biggest relationship is with you, Manager Hao!"

Manager Hao looked a little strange when he heard this.

This... it was hard for him to tell whether he was flattering or scolding.

He looked steadily at He Nian with an incomprehensible expression.

It wasn't until the latter made the latter smile that he turned his head and said nothing.

Although Manager Hao usually seems good-tempered, when his face is expressionless, he is really a bit scary.

To celebrate the New Year, I took small steps and bumped my feet to the side to steam dumplings.

If you make too many dumplings, won’t the leftovers become lunch for the people in the kitchen?

No wonder so many people want to squeeze into the kitchen these days. After all, even if they are just a vegetable cutter, the food they eat is better than what they get outside.

Not to mention the Taihe Hotel, which entertains big leaders and foreign guests every day, so the food is naturally richer.

Manager Hao also had his own food. He originally wanted to leave, but when he smelled the aroma of dumplings coming out of the pot, he immediately changed his mind.

He naturally took out his lunch box and chopsticks, found a place, washed the lunch box, and gathered around the boiler to get dumplings to eat.

I saw him come uninvited during the New Year. When he was fishing for dumplings, his wrists shook again and again. It looked like sifting chaff. When there was only 1/2 of the dumplings left in the spoon, he put it in In Manager Hao’s lunch box.

Manager Hao only thinks that this guy is really petty, but this guy in He Nian doesn't seem to have anything special, but the background is not that tough.

Otherwise, for someone of his caliber, it would be a waste to come to Taihe Hotel.

Manager Hao is a little depressed - now he can't even afford to offend a young apprentice in the kitchen.

The consequence of being depressed was that I made three large bowls of dumplings.

Not to mention, although Su Qingfeng has long known that Su Qingfeng is good at cooking, Manager Hao has never tasted it.

Now that he had eaten the dumplings, he realized that Su Qingfeng was indeed genuine.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just the dumplings in front of us.

Obviously he had eaten dumplings filled with mackerel before, but the flavor of this filling was different from Su Qingfeng's.

After three bowls of dumplings, I was so full that I couldn’t eat anymore. Manager Hao reluctantly put down the bowl.

His eyes looking at Su Qingfeng became more and more pleasant.

At the end, Manager Hao even happily drew a stack of cakes for Su Qingfeng.

All in all, just do a good job.

When the time comes, no matter what leave or subsidy, Su Qingfeng will be indispensable.

Until Manager Hao left and disappeared at the door, He Nian was still a little angry.

Su Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh when he saw this: "They are the leaders, and you are just a handyman. Why should you be angry with the leader? This is not called grudge. This is because you are at odds with yourself."

When He Nian met Su Qingfeng, he couldn't help showing aggrieved expression.

"Master, he is so good at eating. He finished all the dumplings before I was full."

This guy, from the very beginning, has been making a face, just for this reason...

Su Qingfeng was a little numb and didn't know what to say.

This kid still hasn't been beaten by society, or maybe his background is strong enough and he doesn't need to be beaten at all, so he can face Manager Hao.

He thought for a while...

"How about you come to my house for dinner tonight?"

Hearing this, He Nian wiped away his previous sadness and became full of joy.

When Su Qingfeng lowered his head to eat dumplings, he just missed the flash of cunning on his face.

I can finally enter Master’s house!

You know, although he formally accepted Su Qingfeng as his master during the New Year, he had not prepared anything for the apprenticeship ceremony, let alone sitting down and having a meal with Master Su and his family.

The relationship between master and disciple at this time is comparable to that of father and son.

If a disciple betrays his master, his reputation in the industry will not be good. It can be said that once he is a master, he will always be a father.

Especially cooking is a job that cannot be done without three or four years of doing odd jobs.

But Su Qingfeng was different. Unlike other chefs, he didn't hide his secret recipes or cooking skills as closely as other chefs. On the contrary, he was extremely generous to New Year greetings and even to other people.

Su Qingfeng taught him so many things before to say New Year's greetings.

He didn't have much to offer, but he happened to hear that his wife was pregnant, so he took advantage of this opportunity to look through the house for any good things and bring them with him.

He was a quick-tempered man himself, and with this plan in mind, he was even more itchy. When he was chopping vegetables in the afternoon, he almost cut his fingers.

As soon as he got off work, he made an appointment with Su Qingfeng and hurried home on his bicycle.

He Nian is a junior in the county government compound. When he rode his bicycle into the compound, many people called his name, and he responded with a few random words.

While he was riding his bicycle, several lunch boxes in his net pocket were still banging. The sound attracted the attention of others. Several ladies around him followed the source of the sound and looked envious after seeing it.

"When it comes to our compound, He Xiaozi looked like that before. Now that he has entered Taihe Hotel, it is really different."

"That is to say. Since I went to Taihe Hotel, this guy has brought food back from the hotel every day. Although we are not like country people, counting on God to eat, but every month the food stamps and meat stamps are rationed, so we can live a good life. Gotta be tight."

"Coupled with the master's craftsmanship, the taste will definitely be better than at home. I haven't seen the He family gain weight in so many months."

What he said was really sour.

It was as if there was an invisible smell of vinegar in the air.

At this moment, an aunt came back with the laundry and said mysteriously: "What are you talking about? I also know a secret!"

"I heard that Mr. He worshiped a master in the restaurant. The master's surname seems to be Su. I heard he was a chef specially invited by the county magistrate!"

Oops.

He actually has something to do with the county magistrate? !

Who is the county magistrate? He is one of the best people in Taihe County.

Even though they live in the cadre compound, there are still very few who can reach the level of county magistrate.

Happy New Year, this guy is really prosperous.

After he parked his bicycle in the New Year, he hurriedly ran to the door of his house and opened the door with a bang: "Mom, dad, brother, sister-in-law, I'm back, are you at home?"

The room fell silent.

It's not time to get off work yet.

Seeing that there was no one at home, He Nian showed joy on his face and muttered: "No one, it would be nice if no one was there..." As he said that, he walked to the stove at home.

There are two large cabinets next to the kitchen. The cabinets are filled with the family's most valuable food and some food.

These days, if there is anything that is the most precious, it has to be food.

Therefore, these two large cupboards are firmly locked with two locks.

But this is not difficult to celebrate the New Year.

When he didn't have a job, he was also a famous street kid in the compound.

He doesn't go to work on weekdays, he just idles around and does everything, including entertaining cats and dogs.

At this age of the young man, it was the time when the poor old woman was eating. He was hungry in the middle of the night, so he went to the kitchen to steal some food.

After this back and forth, I found out where the key was hidden at home.

After all, the house is only so big in total, and there are only so many places to hide things.

He saw Young Man driving to the bedroom in a familiar manner. He picked up the pillow on the kang, took off the pillowcase and took out two keys. Then he walked to the kitchen, opened the two large cupboards, and waited until he saw After seeing the things inside, He Nian raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but yell.

These days, he didn't pay attention to things at home, but he didn't expect that his mother had saved so many good things.

just!

Give it all to the master!

Happy New Year, making small calculations, smiling so hard that the teeth are almost exposed.

When the master sees it, he will definitely praise him for being good.

He, in the New Year, must become the most proud disciple of his master.

Apprenticeship is also very particular.

For example, there are four or six color gifts in the apprenticeship ceremony.

The apprenticeship gift must be an even number and not an odd number.

The types of these gifts generally include tobacco, alcohol, tea, fruits, etc. Although, considering the scarcity of supplies in this era, generally speaking of tobacco and alcohol, you don’t have to buy expensive things specifically, just do it according to your actual situation.

As for the situation of He Nian's family, it is considered to be in the middle and upper reaches of the entire cadre compound, otherwise he would not be able to enter the Taihe Hotel.

Coupled with Su Qingfeng's generous teachings to him these days, He Nian was even more energetic and wanted to give Su Qingfeng the best apprenticeship ceremony.

Wine, tea, and fruits are all available at home, but what really makes New Year greetings a bit numb... is cigarettes.

This thing is not easy to handle.

Because of this incident, He Nian couldn't help but pace around the room and think about it.

He accidentally glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw two packs of cigarettes hidden in two large vases at home.

Yes, this is considered a living together.

He took a closer look and became even more happy.

This cigarette is still at the front door, so taking it out will give you more face.

After everything was packed, He Nian still felt that it was not enough. Thinking about tonight, he had agreed to have dinner at Su Qingfeng's house, and he also brought a few vegetables from the cellar at home, such as radishes and cabbage. They were not expensive. It’s a toy, but it’s all part of my heart.

After loading all these things, he rode his bicycle and blew away like a gust of wind.

As soon as the aunt outside finished her gossip, she saw the protagonist of the gossip coming out of the house again, riding a bicycle in a vigorous manner, with more energy than marrying a wife.

When the New Year greetings were far away, they looked at each other with a somewhat dazed expression:

This... what is going on?

When Su Qingfeng arrived home, Li Ran was already in the kitchen and started boiling water.

Seeing him pouring water into a thermos, and then staggering out with another thermos, Su Qingfeng's brows couldn't help but twitch, for fear of something unexpected happening.

He took a step forward to take over, but Li Ran avoided it.

"I was just pregnant, but you didn't let me do anything. The doctor said that proper exercise is good for the body. By then, I was halfway through giving birth and got stuck..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Qingfeng interrupted.

"Don't say such things!"

Li Ran was stunned for a moment, and then a smile spread across his brows.

Seeing Su Qingfeng's nervous look, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and whispered softly, smiling, "Do you still believe this?"

Seeing her like this, Su Qingfeng felt a little helpless. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand and pinched the soft flesh next to her cheek, and then said seriously, "Didn't you listen to what the older generation said? You can't sigh all the time. If a person If you always sigh, you will sigh away your luck."

Li Ran didn't know whether the older generation had said it before, but she found this statement to be quite novel.

She brought an enamel cup and poured a large cup of hot water for Su Qingfeng.

After a few months, she finally figured out Su Qingfeng's preferences.

This person is very strange. He doesn't like to drink sugar water, but likes to drink boiled water.

From the perspective of people in this era, it is simply unbelievable.

Sugar is such a precious thing. When many people have difficulty tasting sweetness all year round, a cup of sugar water is simply the most delicious thing.

But for Su Qingfeng, people just disliked this sweet taste.

This is really comparing people to each other, which is really annoying.

While Su Qingfang was drinking water, Li Ran opened the bag he brought back and took a look and found a chicken and a pork loin.

Although pork tenderloin is not the fattest piece of meat, it is the tenderest piece of meat on the pig. At this time when he was about to get off work, how did Su Qingfeng get such a good piece of meat...

Thinking about it, Li Ran asked what was in his heart.

Su Qingfeng raised his eyebrows at her, slightly sullen, "Isn't this relevant?"

Li Ran didn't know what the relationship was, but she didn't ask much.

This is her character. As long as she has something to eat, there is no need to pursue the rest too much.

Shrimps have shrimp paths, and crabs have crab paths.

This ordinary person still has two or three friends when walking outside, let alone a social expert like Su Qingfeng.

Li Ran had no doubt that he could establish relationships with others.

When Su Qingfeng saw that Li Ran didn't ask any questions, he felt relieved. Today's piece of meat was indeed not obtained through connections.

But it comes from cheating.

After all, compared to having a relationship, cheating is more convenient.

Thinking about it, he spoke again: "My apprentice will come today. Let's prepare a few dishes and entertain him. That boy... is a bit interesting."

Li Ran had also heard of Su Qingfeng's apprentice, but he had been delayed due to other matters and had not met him in person. Today he was finally going to meet him in person.

She couldn't help but get interested, "Is it the one named He Nian?" (End of Chapter)
