Du Shaojie couldn't help laughing when he saw it. This time the reward came just in time, otherwise he couldn't cheat if the time was not enough at the critical moment.

I can practice Huaiyang cuisine more in the future.

Du Shaojie was too tired today and had no intention of doing anything else, so he just fell asleep.

When he woke up the next morning, there was no one at home except him.

Xiaoya had to go to school for morning self-study, so she naturally had to arrive at school early. Wang Yuxiu had developed the habit of having breakfast in the cafeteria of the medical school.

He went to the street corner, bought two servings of tofu pudding and some buns, and went straight to Liang Meiqin's house.

"Mikoto, have you eaten?"

"Not yet. My mom left some food for me before she went to work. I just finished washing up and haven't had time to eat yet."

"I brought some tofu pudding and steamed buns. They're still hot. Let's eat them together."

Du Shaojie rode his bike over from the street corner in just a few minutes. The food was in an insulated lunch box, so there was no way it could get cold.

He then pulled Liang Meiqin to sit down at the table, and the two of them had breakfast together.

Liang Meiqin has no problem eating by herself now, she just can't see clearly, not that she can't see at all.

"Shaojie, I want to go to work in a few days, but they told me to stay at home and take good care of my health. They are unwilling to assign me any work."

Liang Meiqin is usually alone at home, and her mother doesn't come back until noon to cook for her.

Being alone at home with nothing to do, she couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"It's just a name on the list, and they're afraid something might happen to you at work, and they'd have a hard time explaining it. If you're bored, listen to the radio, or wait until the weather is good, and I'll take you to a restaurant."

Du Shaojie could understand the concerns of Liang Meiqin's company. They were just keeping an idle person. If something happened to her at work, no one would be able to explain it to her. If it were him, he would not assign specific work to her.

However, people are afraid of loneliness, and he felt that he should think of a solution.

In the morning, he went to the department store and looked at the tape recorders. There were very few styles, and the main ones were "rotating head" tape recorders. He asked the salesperson to take one and took a look. It was a "Sanyo" brand.

The sound quality of this thing is average, and it is convenient to carry, but it is very expensive, 280 yuan per unit, and you need a ticket.

Money was not a problem, but he had no ticket, so he had to turn around and leave.

There was no need to ask anyone else for such a small matter. He ran to the Chinese restaurant and asked Dong Yunxian, and the other party was able to get the tickets.

When he arrived at the private restaurant at noon, he was holding two "turn-head" tape recorders in his hands.

There were also a lot of tapes that he bought in the market, all of which were transcribed. According to later generations, these tapes were pirated, but the problem was that he had no place to buy genuine tapes.

When he returned home in the evening, he knocked on Xiaoya's door.

"Brother, come in and sit down. I just need to rest for ten minutes."

Xiaoya has endless exercise books and papers to complete every day. After entering high school, she is obviously much more tired than when she was in junior high school.

When she saw her brother, a smile appeared on her face and she pulled Du Shaojie inside.

Then she noticed that her brother was holding a bag in his hand.

"Don't look at it, this is for you. Brick tape recorder. I also bought you a few English tapes. You can learn from them."

As he spoke, Du Shaojie took out a "brick" from his bag.

In his opinion, this brick-shaped tape recorder is really ugly and the sound quality is not very good, but it is still okay to use it to learn English. When Xiaoya goes to college, he can buy her a portable tape recorder with four speakers, which can be used to listen to English and songs.

"Wow, it's so beautiful! Brother, you are so great. I heard that Li Xiaohui in our class has a tape recorder like this. Several people said they wanted to go to her house to see it, but she disagreed."

Xiaoya jumped three feet high with joy and grabbed Du Shaojie's arm and refused to let go.

It took Du Shaojie a long time to break free, and then he taught his sister how to use it correctly.

"Xiaoya, you are a grown-up girl now, so I won't say anything else. Anyway, this machine is for your study. You can listen to some songs during your breaks, but it must not affect your studies."

Du Shaojie left a few tapes for his sister and walked out.

Fortunately, the tape recorder is not like a TV, and Xiaoya is a relatively obedient child, so there should be no problem.

the next morning.

After getting up, Du Shaojie still went to Liang Meiqin's house with breakfast and also brought her a tape recorder.

"Mikoto, if you get tired of listening to the radio, you can listen to some songs. These tapes are here for you, you can listen to whatever you want. Come, I'll teach you how to use them."

Du Shaojie played a tape of Teresa Teng, and when the melody sounded, Liang Meiqin was immediately immersed in the song. As she listened, she suddenly threw herself into Du Shaojie's arms and started crying.

It was hard to tell whether it was the singing that moved her or Du Shaojie's actions that moved her.

After a long time, the two separated. Du Shaojie wrung out a towel and wiped Liang Meiqin's face. He had to wipe it, because her face was crying like a little cat, and his clothes were wet.

noon.

Du Shaojie and Zhong Fuxiang prepared three banquet tables together, one of which was reserved by Ma Zijian from the Municipal First Construction Company, who invited relevant personnel from Party A's unit to dinner.

Since it was a business matter, Du Shaojie did not give him a discount, but gave him two packs of cigarettes when he left.

"Master Du, you're too polite, aren't you?"

"Manager Ma, we are friends, and I don't smoke, so just take it."

Ma Zijian refused for a moment and then stopped pulling.

He just said that today's guests were very satisfied with the food, and that he had a banquet in a couple of days, so he asked Du Shaojie to reserve a private room for him.

Du Shaojie nodded in agreement, then sent Ma Zijian downstairs.

"Zhang Yufei, come to my office for a moment."

Back in the lobby, he waved to Zhang Yufei and asked her to follow him.

Chu Linlin was so envious watching from the side. Manager Du was usually polite to everyone, but she had never been summoned by him. Maybe Zhang Yufei had encountered good things, either a promotion or a pay raise.

Zhang Yufei didn't understand what was going on, so she followed Du Shaojie into the office and stood opposite the desk with a smile on her face.

"Sit down, why are you standing? I remember you are a high school graduate, right?"

Du Shaojie smiled and pointed at the chair, and Zhang Yufei sat down.

"Yes, Manager Du, I did graduate from high school."

"Well, I think you have done a good job recently and are very good at dealing with people. From today on, you will be the lobby manager. In addition to managing the waiters, you will also be responsible for welcoming and seeing off guests, banquet reservations, etc."

Private restaurants have always lacked such a role. If Du Shaojie is relied upon for everything, he would be very tired.

After observing for such a long time, he found that Zhang Yufei not only had good looks, but also had good manners and speech, and was very suitable for the position of lobby manager.

That's why we're looking for a place to talk today.

"Ah? Thank you, Manager Du! Please rest assured that I will do my job well and make sure that the guests who come to our restaurant come with joy and leave with satisfaction."

Zhang Yufei was a little surprised, but more delighted.

She expressed her attitude immediately, and her whole temperament was different, and she was obviously in a state of excitement.

"Well, there are some things I will explain to you later, so that's all for today."

Du Shaojie then sent Zhang Yufei away. Whether she is capable or not would be clear after working for a while.

Then he slept for a while in the suite and received a call from Mu Xiaolian in the afternoon.

"It just so happens that it's time to restock my dried seafood. Please remember, 10 kilograms of dried sea cucumbers, 10 kilograms of dried abalone, and a little less dried scallops. Bring two or three kilograms to let me have a look."

Since he needs to purchase some new varieties this time, Du Shaojie plans to check them personally.

This work will be completely handed over to Zhang Qigong in the future. If you don't understand something, ask Zhong Fuxiang. Xiao Jianjun is not up to it for the time being and needs more training.

Forty minutes later, he met Mu Xiaolian on the first floor.

The other party came over on a tricycle, his pretty face was red from the cold, and he was working hard to do business.

Du Shaojie looked at the goods and found them of good quality and reasonable price, so he asked Zhang Qigong to take them to the warehouse and settled the bill on the spot.

"Zhang Yufei, pour me a cup of tea. Xiaomu, have a cup of hot tea before you leave. You looked so cold just now."

Du Shaojie asked Mu Xiaolian to sit in the lobby lounge for a while and asked the waiter to bring hot tea.

He had nothing to do at the moment, so he chatted with Mu Xiaolian for a while. Only then did he learn that the other party was a student of Xijiang University and would only help his mother when she was not busy.

Mu Xiaolian's father died early, and she has a younger brother. The family's livelihood depends on her mother's seafood and dried goods stall.

Du Shaojie didn't say anything. After chatting with the other party for a while, he got up and left.

First he went to the [Big Plate Chicken] specialty store, and then to the snack bar. In the evening he did not go to the private restaurant, Zhong Fuxiang was responsible for the three tables of banquets by himself, which was not difficult at all.

In the snack bar he received two letters, one from Qi Yan and the other from Du Shaomei.

There was a hint of tenderness and sweetness in Qi Yan's letter, but the overall content was very subtle.

After reading it, Du Shaojie couldn't help but smile.

Next, he opened the letter from his older sister and frowned as he read it.

It wasn't that the letter said anything bad. On the surface, everything was normal, but he always felt something was wrong. He couldn't pay back his sister? He was definitely a guy who only reported good news and not bad news. He suddenly felt a little worried.

But the place was thousands of miles away from Guangzhou, and he didn't know anyone there, so he didn't know what to do if he wanted to find out the situation.

He definitely couldn't trouble Yu Mo with this matter, and he suddenly thought of Cai Jing.

Although Cai Jing is in Shenzhen, I believe the other party also has reliable connections in Guangzhou, so he should be able to visit Xiaomei at school on her behalf, right?

Thinking of this, he could no longer sit still and quickly ran to the post office.
