The boss cooks, and the bankrupt company opens a state banquet restaurant

Su Chen changed her clothes and thought to herself, President Ling gave her a new set of clothes during the New Year, so she should stay for dumplings today.

If all else fails, I can just pack some for her to take back. The dumpling filling I make is just average, but the good thing is that they are all bought from the practice room, so they are definitely good stuff.

I just don't know if Mr. Ling is on the second floor or
When Su Chen pushed open the kitchen door, he was suddenly stunned by the scene in front of him.

"Fang He, why are you here?"

Aunt Fang, He Shuting, Zhang Jiayi, Ling Shuyu, and Zhang Li, the five of them were sitting together, talking and laughing while making dumplings. There was a small casserole and a small steamer bubbling on the stove.

There are not only fruits but also some ready-made cooked foods on the workbench.

"I was afraid you were hungry, so I brought some food from home to heat up for you. We all thought of the same thing. Haha, I saw you made dumpling fillings. Dumplings are good to eat anywhere, so we can eat them at the company."

The other girls winked at Su Chen, but Ling Shuyu alone stared at the collar of Su Chen's shirt, trying to find out something from there.

Su Chen intentionally or unintentionally pulled at his suit pants, exposing his red socks and red long johns for a moment, and said calmly, "I'll pack it with everyone else!"

Seeing that touch of red, Ling Shuyu turned back with satisfaction and continued making dumplings, his face somehow also turning red.

With Su Chen's joining, the speed of making dumplings became much faster.

"Boss, today I will show you the skills I learned in my half-year class at our company!"

Su Chen glanced at the steaming pot, his nose twitching slightly, "Steamed mandarin fish?"

The short-legged boy nodded in disbelief, "You can even smell what kind of fish it is?"

"If you put some chopped green onions in now, this fish can still be saved."

"Hey, I forgot!!!"

Everyone burst into laughter when they saw the short-legged guy hurriedly picking up the green onion shreds he had just cut but had forgotten to use on the chopping board.

"That casserole is filled with cooked food that I made at home. Boss, please don't look down on my poor cooking skills."

Su Chen sniffed again.

This action made Aunt Fang nervous. She thought, how come Xiao Su's nose is like that of a puppy? He can tell what's missing just by smelling it?

The aroma of the sauce has the flavor of green onions and cooking wine, mixed with the unique aroma of fried potatoes and meatballs, as well as the aroma of cooked roast pork.

Seeing a bowl of vinegar sauce mixed with chopped hot peppers next to Aunt Fang, Su Chen said, "It's pretty good. This casserole is good. Aunt Fang's cooking skills have always been good. Uncle Zeng said when he was decorating the house that he doesn't like to eat out anymore. He only likes the food you cook."

Aunt Fang smiled happily.

Soon, all the dumplings were wrapped.

Several girls were busy serving the dishes. Actually there weren't many dishes, but at first glance they looked colorful and pleasing to the eye when placed on the table.

In the middle is a steaming casserole, which is quite rich.

There are not only vegetables in it, but also potatoes and meatballs, plus the tender roasted pork belly, and stewed soft cabbage at the bottom. It can be said that one dish is equivalent to several others.

There is also a steamed fish that looks so-so but the taste is uncertain. In the words of Little Short Legs, there is fish every year!

It will be paired with some homemade pastries by He Shuting, various fruits brought by Zhang Jiayi, and dumplings that will be out of the pot soon.

Of course, there are also a few cold dishes that Su Chen had prepared himself.

In addition to the specialties that Li Ming brought from far away, Su Chen heated up the blood sausage and cut it, and prepared a bowl of sauce. The sauerkraut was not used for the time being, so he could eat it next time.

"Wow! Our New Year's Eve dinner is pretty good!"

Su Chen took out the three-no product liquor and said, "If you can drink it, have a drink. If you can't drink it, I have some drinks in my room, take them yourself!"

Surprisingly, none of the girls today refused, saying that they couldn't drink. They all held a small wine bottle weighing two cents, waiting eagerly for Su Chen to fill their glasses.

Everyone's glasses were filled.

“The dumplings are ready!”

Aunt Fang asked everyone to stay put, "I'll go get it, you guys eat first."

That being said, no one moved. They all put their wine glasses on the table and waited for the aunt to come out.

Aunt Fang held two plates in her hands, which were filled with steaming dumplings. "It's out!"

"There are three coins in here today. Whoever eats the coin will become rich next year!"

Zhang Li's hands were eager to move, "I will definitely get the first one!"

Ling Shuyu didn't say it, but she was looking forward to it in her heart. She felt that being able to eat a dumpling with a coin in it among so many dumplings would be more exciting than giving her a few thousand yuan in bonus.

"That's great! This year is the happiest year I have ever had. Boss, can you please say something?" He Shuting said playfully.

"Yes, boss, say a few words!"

"I just love listening to the boss talk, hehe."

Su Chen was not polite either. He stood up with his wine glass and pressed his hand to signal everyone to sit down.

I moved my mouth slightly. I felt like I had a lot to say, but when I really wanted to open my mouth, I didn't know where to start.

He knew in his heart that the reason everyone was still sitting here was simply because they were worried that he would be bored spending the New Year alone. After all, if a second-level member spread the news that he was starving, no one would believe it.

Since ancient times, the Chinese have never had the tradition of celebrating the New Year alone.

Took several deep breaths.

Su Chen suddenly laughed, "I won't say any more nonsense about thanking you. Let's put it this way! There are five of us here today except me. There are three coins in the dumplings! Whoever eats the coins can make a wish, and I will help you realize your wish if I can! It all depends on your ability!"

I thought Su Chen was going to say something like thank you all for coming to see me, but I didn't expect him to say this.

The girls were stunned for a moment, then they applauded excitedly.

"Boss, are you serious? I won't be polite. Don't think I won't ask for a promotion or a raise!"

Go ahead and ask for it, Su Chen looked at Zhang Li and thought, if you still want a promotion and a raise, you’d better take care of your food first.

"Boss, if you say that, I have a wish to make. When will you introduce me to a blue friend as good as you?"

When Ling Shuyu heard what He Shuting said, his heart tightened, and he calmly put the potato on the chopsticks into the bowl instead of putting it into his mouth.

Every potato saved her one dumpling.

Eating one less dumpling means one less chance!
Su Chen said carelessly, "I keep my word. As long as it is realistic, I will be satisfied!"

Only Aunt Fang looked at everyone with a kind smile.

There are some inexplicable emotions in my heart.

I am just a cleaner. Which company's cleaners can sit and eat with the boss? The key is, which company's cleaners can earn more than 200,000 yuan a year?
That's enough, what else do you need a bicycle for!

With Su Chen's promise, everyone was extra excited to eat.

It was obvious that the girls were serious about the coin, and their chopsticks kept moving towards the dumplings on the plates.

Su Chen was not in a hurry and tasted his aunt's casserole first.

The potatoes were fried to a perfect temperature, and after being simmered over low heat, they had a very soft and sandy texture. If we use the practice room's evaluation system, this is at least a B-grade casserole.

But it’s different. At this moment, Su Chen feels that the small casserole tastes better than SSS-level dishes!
As for the steamed mandarin fish.

Su Chen took a bite and said to Zhang Li calmly, "Zhang Li, I personally feel that your strong point is not in the kitchen."

Zhang Li had two dumplings in her mouth, so she had no time to talk to Su Chen.

He mumbled for a long time but no one knew what he said.

Su Chen took a sip of the sauce-flavored liquor, holding his breath and letting the liquor flow freely in every corner of his mouth. He then exhaled heavily and picked up a peanut and chewed it slowly.

After the taste of alcohol in my mouth subsided, I picked up a steaming dumpling with chopsticks and dipped it in old vinegar soaked in mashed garlic as people in Jingzhou custom.

Put it in your mouth.

This feeling!
This is what I really would not change even if a god came!
The temperature of the dumpling dropped slightly in his mouth, and then Su Chen began to bite it.

bang
"Ok?"

Su Chen's expression froze, the taste was not right.

He hid the tooth-hurting object under his tongue and continued to eat the dumplings calmly. After he finished eating them, he wiped his mouth as if nothing had happened.

He looked down and saw that what he spat out was none other than a shiny silver coin!

"Just one?"

Su Chen didn't say anything, but continued to pick up a dumpling.

quack!

"No way? Shit."

There were coins in two dumplings in a row, which is outrageous.

The key point is that I only ate two dumplings, and that’s okay!
Let them go.
Su Chen stopped eating dumplings and started eating other side dishes, while continuing to taste the wine.

These girls only drank a small bottle of wine, just to create an atmosphere, none of them are people who like to drink.

The two plates of dumplings were gradually empty.

Zhang Li touched her belly and said, "No way! I ate 15 dumplings, how come there is no coin?"

He Shuting was also a little full, "I ate thirteen."

"I'm eight"

Aunt Fang also found it incredible. "I ate about ten of them, too. I remember clearly that I put them in when I was making the dumplings!"

Ling Shuyu was also puzzled.

She is an academic person. She had analyzed the dumplings carefully while eating them just now. From the perspective of probability, there should be at least one coin among the ten dumplings she ate.

If not, that only means one thing.

"Auntie Fang, are there any dumplings left to cook?"

Aunt Fang suddenly realized, "It must be the three dumplings with coins in them that are piled together. There are also small dumplings in it. I'll cook them now!"

Aunt Fang stood up with two plates in her hand and put the last remaining dumpling into Su Chen's bowl. "Xiao Su didn't eat much of the dumplings. Are you worried that we won't get any coins? Haha."

Su Chen looked down at the dumplings in the bowl.

No one took the dumplings seriously. Everyone was chatting and laughing, complaining about how boring this year's Spring Festival Gala was.

Soon, Aunt Fang came out with a plate of dumplings.

The girls seemed ready too.

"All three coins are in there!" Zhang Li said confidently, clenching her fists.

"I hope I can get at least one!" He Shuting clasped her hands together and began to pray.

Only Ling Shuyu didn't believe this.

There are at most twenty dumplings in this plate. If you calculate it this way, I only need to eat seven and I will have at least one coin.

Well, it's time to think about what wish to make.

Everyone started to work on the freshly cooked dumplings.

Su Chen silently picked up the cold dumplings in the bowl. "It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

When the dumpling entered his mouth, Su Chen slowed down and bit it down slowly.

bang
Worthy!

He continued to chew slowly and calmly, then quietly hid the coin in his palm and pretended to eat the snacks and drink the wine.

After a while.

Looking at the empty plate, everyone fell into deep thought.

“Are there any dumplings left?”

"Nothing."

"Where's the coin?"

"do not know."

Zhang Li held her cheek in her hand and said, "I didn't eat a single bite of food just to eat this coin! Where's the coin?"

He Shuting rubbed her slightly bulging belly and asked, "Did you forget to pack it?"

Zhang Jiayi was so hungry that she almost rolled her eyes. "How can you do that? You're eating dumplings like your life depends on it. I saw little Zhang Li was eating really fast just now. Did you swallow it?"

Ling Shuyu was also in deep thought and thinking.

Where are the coins?
The host on the TV in the cafeteria started shouting, saying that the New Year's bell was about to ring, and asked everyone to count down to ten.

Zhang Jiayi waved her hand, "New Year's Day is coming soon! Let's go set off fireworks! I bought three hundred thousand worth of fireworks!"

Su Chen clenched his fists.

You set off some fireworks and let me pay off a year's rent?
What’s so great about being the daughter of a coal boss?

Everyone put the matter of the coins aside for the moment, and Su Chen silently put the three coins into his suit pocket.

Follow Zhang Jiayi to the parking lot.

As soon as the man walked out of the elevator, he heard a very impatient and somewhat angry voice.

"What? You don't care about the underground parking lot? The problem is that I'm trapped between his two cars!"

"It's obvious that this is an organized, premeditated, and targeted traffic jam. Traffic police, if you don't send a tow truck, I'm going to smash it!"

"What? I broke it and I have to pay for it? Hey, can you please be reasonable? Hello? Hello?"

The people who walked out of the elevator looked at each other.

"It seems to be Bai Xiaobo's voice?"

"That's right! It sounds like that to me, too."

Su Chen stretched his head to take a look, "Why don't we go over and take a look?"

Bai Xiaobo was hung up on the computer by the other party. He stood with his hands on his waist and looked at the two farm vehicles in annoyance. His own car was stuck in the middle and he could not move.

The key point is that there are only a few cars in such a large parking lot. Why do they have to park here?

If this is not targeted, then Bai Xiaobo really doesn't know what is targeted.

Just when he was feeling helpless, he saw a group of people coming towards him from the elevator entrance. He took a closer look and saw a look of joy on Xiao Bai's face, "Boss! Eh? Zhang Li, President Ling, you're all here!"

Su Chen and his companions came over, and the joy on Bai Xiaobo's face suddenly disappeared, and turned into indignation. He pointed at the two farm vehicles and said, "Look! Look! This is the biggest problem with the free parking lot! All kinds of people and all kinds of cars are parked here. Is there anyone who parks like this? Isn't this deliberately causing trouble?"

"Boss, I brought a lot of delicious food today. It's already twelve o'clock. The delay of this meal is the fault of these two cars! We must punish them! Aunt Fang, do you have a big lock in our building? I will lock it for him directly."

Bai Xiaobo spoke with great enthusiasm, but the others were indeed very embarrassed.

Zhang Jiayi interrupted Xiaobai, "Um... I'm sorry. Our drivers sometimes have a stupid mind. I told them to park the car as close to the elevator as possible, but they just..."

Bai Xiaobo:? ? ?

"That car is full of fruits, so I thought it would be easier to move things if we were closer. This car is full of fireworks, so it would be more convenient for us to drive out directly after we go downstairs."

After that, Zhang Jiayi took out a simple key from her trouser pocket and got into the cockpit of the farm vehicle. "I'll move the car for you right away!"

Bai Xiaobo opened his mouth, and was completely confused.

own people?
There is nothing much to say about this, at least you can't curse at others.

He took out a bag of dumplings from the car in frustration, "Here, Boss, I made all these dumplings and they are frozen. Let's go upstairs and eat dumplings now! How can we celebrate the New Year without eating dumplings?"

Although Su Chen was embarrassed, he still kept smiling, "Well, let's set off the fireworks first. It's already past twelve o'clock, so we can go back and eat after we finish setting off the fireworks."

Xiao Bai thought about it and said, "That's fine! Let's go, let's set off the fireworks!"

Everyone else also breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiaobai ran over from far away, but ended up not eating a single bite. If he knew that everyone had just eaten, he would definitely be very sad, right?

Zhang Jiayi was driving in front.

A group of people followed behind.

There is still a lot of wasteland in the development zone, so it is not difficult to find a place to set off fireworks.

After walking for about ten minutes, the group arrived at a wilderness area that had not been developed yet.

Bai Xiaobo and Su Chen took great pains to take down a thing called Three-foot Jade from the car. This thing was three feet in diameter!

After moving it a long way, it was put into the detonator.

"Boss, you order!"

Xiaobai lit a cigarette and handed it to Su Chen.

"Okay, Happy New Year, I'll give you a gift."

Su Chen took out three coins from his pocket and said, "With these, you will have good luck."

Bai Xiaobo was particularly happy holding the three coins. He carefully examined them for a long time before reluctantly putting them in his pocket. He touched his nose and said, "Boss, why do these coins smell like pork?"

Su Chen bent over and said, "I don't know, let's run!"

Whoosh.
The fuse burned quickly, and the two of them shouted and cheered as they ran towards Ling Shuyu and the others.

The fuse is long enough to last until a minute later.

boom!
There was a deafening explosion, and a group of people plugged their ears with their fingers, watching a red shell rise into the sky like a meteor, flying to a height that required one to tilt their heads back completely to see it.

Snapped!
There was a sudden explosion, and silver sparks formed into lines that fell from top to bottom, even turning half of the sky silver!

When everyone's mouth opened excitedly.

Bang. Bang bang bang!
The explosions continued one after another, and the end of the silver line exploded violently again. Each line exploded into a pink flower, and the sky was dyed pink again.

It was also the first time that Su Chen saw such stunning fireworks.

I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The coal boss's daughter is really awesome.

Fireworks are beautiful, but they are fleeting.

A three-foot-long jade worth ninety thousand dollars turned into a cloud of smoke and drifted away with the wind, but everyone's mood never calmed down.

"boss."

Bai Xiaobo held the phone with a dull expression.

The others also turned their heads, and everyone felt a little sympathetic about Xiaobai's experience tonight.

"Ok?"

"We have a new order."

Su Chen smiled, turned his head back and looked at the empty sky, "Order?"

"Who would place an order during Chinese New Year? Are you crazy?"

"That's right, who will cook for him? Let him go home and eat by himself!"

"Not during the Chinese New Year, not during the first month of the lunar year! The boss needs to have a good rest."

The girls chattered.

After everyone was silent, Su Chen still asked habitually, "What kind of order?"

Xiaobai didn't agree with everyone just now, nor did he refute everyone. At this moment, his breathing became a little rapid for some reason.

“Number of diners: 48.”

Su Chen nodded. It was obvious that this was another banquet order similar to a party. Five tables of food would not be a problem. The key was to pay enough money!
"Lunch time, the Dragon Raises its Head on the Second Day of the Second Month, lunch starts at 11:50 noon."

Su Chen was a little curious this time.

It’s only the Chinese New Year, why do we have to make reservations for meals two months later, and for so many people?

“Dining requirements: Dishes should be light and palatable.”

This is not much different from ordering Huaiyang cuisine, so it’s not that difficult.

Su Chen thought for a while, "Two months is not a big deal, let's set off the fireworks first! If the money is enough, I'll agree to it. If the money is not enough, I'll find a way to push it back."

After hearing what the boss said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It still tasted the same as before!

But Bai Xiaobo looked up at Su Chen dully, "There is one more note."

This time it was He Shuting's turn to get impatient. She snatched Bai Xiaobo's phone away and said, "Are you sick? You can't even finish a sentence in one go! You won't let people have a good time during the New Year. Let me see!"

Shu Ting took out her phone, looked at the notes below the order, and read them out loud.

"On February 2, the dragon raises its head. A global conference on energy utilization in central China will be held in Jin Province, and we will have dinner in Jingzhou at that time."

"The dining guests are heads of state from sixteen countries, as well as some of their entourage."

“Budget: Maximum.”

"The food customization has been sent, and I look forward to your reply."

The more she read, the more He Shuting felt something was wrong. By the end, her head was buzzing with thoughts.

"Boss, this is..."

When He Shuting looked up, she saw that there was no one around her. When she looked again, she saw a group of people who were waiting to watch the fireworks just now were now running towards the company.

"Ah! Boss, where are you guys going?"

Su Chen's voice came from a distance through the cold air.

"Prepare in advance."

After a moment, a hoarse shout resounded throughout the development zone.

"Grass!"

The whole book is finished. (End of this chapter)
