Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

Du Shaojie's courtyard house had just been completed, and some of the furniture and appliances needed to be replaced. In addition, the smell needed to be removed after the renovation, so he did not live there this time.

He and his mother stayed in a hotel these two days, so he didn't bring Qi Yan's parents to visit.

Qi Yan didn't mention this to them, and the marriage has just been settled.

Qi's mother is not a confused person. Although the property certificate is in her daughter's name, how much salary does her daughter get per month?

The house her daughter lives in now must have been bought with Du Shaojie's money, so she subconsciously thought that this was the wedding house.

The old couple didn’t have high material requirements and both thought this house was pretty good.

"Dad, Mom, Shaojie doesn't plan to use this as his new home. He has another courtyard house that he just renovated."

When Qi Yan heard this, she quickly explained to her parents.

"It just so happens that we have nothing to do right now, let's go take a look together."

Du Shaojie then went downstairs and got into Wang Yongli's car with Wang Yuxiu.

Qi Yan drove her parents in her own car, and the two cars went straight to the new house.

When Qi's father and mother walked into the yard, they were stunned. The new house was rebuilt by demolishing two yards. The area was really large and it looked very comfortable.

The layout is still that of a courtyard house, but it has complete water supply and heating system. The antique furniture is consistent with the style of the courtyard, and all kinds of home appliances are available.

"I plan to replace some of the furniture and appliances later, so this yard won't need any more tidying up."

Du Shaojie led everyone on a tour and then told them his plans.

Qi Yan's parents finally came to their senses from their shock. Qi's father said seriously, "I see that the furniture and home appliances here are all very new. There is no need to replace them. Living frugally will never be out of date in any era."

Qi's mother also nodded frequently, thinking that the old man was right.

Du Shaojie did not insist. There was no need to argue with his future father-in-law and mother-in-law about this matter. If he wanted to change, he could just do it quietly. Naturally, no one would be watching these things.

at night.

The old couple closed the door and muttered in the room:
"I've always heard people say Shaojie is a big businessman, and I finally saw it this time. Look, he bought Yanzi a car and a house before they even got married, and the new house is so nice. Yanzi is enjoying a good life with him."

The way Qi's mother looked at Du Shaojie now was just like the saying goes: the more the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the happier she is.

Qi's father curled his lips in disapproval and said, "Are rich men necessarily good men? Of course I hope my daughter is happy, but some things have to wait a few more years before we can say for sure."

hotel.

Du Shaojie and Wang Yuxiu were also chatting.

"Xiao Jie, you are holding your wedding in Beijing, but what about Yangcheng? You are now based in the south, and most of your friends are there. Aren't you being too accommodating to Yan Zi?"

Wang Yuxiu seldom expressed her opinions before, but now that they are alone with her son, she can say some things.

I'm not trying to force my son to change his mind, I just want to hear what he thinks.

"It doesn't matter. At most, we can just have another wedding in Yangcheng. Yan Zi left school out of necessity, so she naturally wants to have a grand wedding so that people won't look down on her. Of course I have to support her, right?"

Du Shaojie didn't really care. He had to hold his wedding banquet in Yangcheng anyway, otherwise many people would not agree.

After hearing what he said, Wang Yuxiu understood what her son was thinking and immediately got up and went back to her room to sleep.

The next day.

Qi Yan called Du Shaojie out alone and said:
"Shaojie, I've thought about it. We should hold our wedding in Yangcheng first, and then have a banquet in Beijing. Think about it, most of your connections are in the south. If you don't invite them to such a big event as a wedding, they will be unhappy."

She didn't sleep well last night, and after thinking about it, she suddenly realized that face is not that important.

I have already left the unit, and it will be difficult for me to interact with people in the school in the future. But Du Shaojie is different. Yangcheng has his real connections, which will be useful in the future.

I told my parents about these ideas in the morning, and they also supported holding the wedding in Guangzhou.

So, after breakfast she ran to Du Shaojie to talk about this.

"If you've figured it out, then we'll hold the wedding in Yangcheng. In fact, even if you send out invitations in Beijing, your former colleagues may not be willing to come."

Du Shaojie knew Qi Yan's temper. When she was in a good mood, he would go along with her. Everything would be easy when she figured it out.

So, the original agreement was overturned again, and the wedding venue was changed to Guangzhou.

To be honest, it's only because Du Shaojie likes to buy real estate that he has such a large courtyard house in Beijing and a large villa in Guangzhou. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the conditions to be so picky.

As the villa in Yangcheng was still under renovation, the wedding was scheduled for two months later.

Qi Yan's parents returned to Xijiang after playing in Beijing for a few days, and would go to Yangcheng before the wedding. As for things like looking at the new house in advance, there was no need at all. In terms of financial resources, they still believed in their future son-in-law.

"Yanzi, how is your inspection in the capital?"

After Qi's father and mother left, Wang Yuxiu also returned to Yangcheng alone.

Du Shaojie and Qi Yan finally had some peace and quiet. After two days of immersion in their own world, their lives returned to their original track.

"I've picked out a place. Although it's a little off the beaten track, the transportation is very convenient. Shaojie, go and do your thing. I'll come back to you after I finalize this matter."

Qi Yan didn't want Du Shaojie to interfere in her affairs. She wanted to build the business by herself. Du Shaojie left her some start-up funds and left the capital.

night.

He called Liang Meiqin and told her about his arrangements.

"Okay, I'll attend your wedding with Yan Zi then."

No matter what, Liang Meiqin felt bitter in her heart because the person wearing the wedding dress was not her.

Fortunately, she and Qi Yan have reached a tacit understanding. One has a status and the other has a fait accompli. This is the product of compromise because neither of them wants to leave Du Shaojie.

"Meiqin, come over with your uncle and aunt these days. I'll take you to Dinghushan for a few days. You can do their work and retire early. I'll help them get a pass so they can go to Hong Kong at any time."

Du Shaojie didn't know what to say, so he changed the subject.

"I'll take them there the day after tomorrow. Mr. Cai is inviting my parents to dinner tomorrow. Okay, I won't say any more to you. My mom is calling me."

Liang Meiqin immediately hung up the phone and didn't sleep well the whole night.

Day three.

Du Shaojie accompanied Liang Meiqin and her family of three to Dinghu Mountain, and the old couple fell in love with this place at once. The mountains and rivers here are beautiful and the scenery is pleasant. Walking on the mountain, it seems that the whole person has been cleansed from the inside out.

This is the joy that nature brings to people.

The group stayed in Dinghu Villa for a few days. As Liang's father and mother's vacation was about to end, they returned to Guangzhou together.

Before leaving, Du Shaojie treated Liang Meiqin and her family of three to a meal at Xichuan Restaurant, and gave the old couple a lot of precious tonics.

The next day, they were sent on the plane.

"Shaojie, thank you so much for these days. My parents had a great time this time. I have no way to repay you, so I have to hurry back to Hong Kong and work like a slave to help you earn back the money for the bride price."

"Now you have learned to be smooth-talking. Just wait and see how I will deal with you later."

"Where are you going to deal with me?"

"Nonsense, of course we're going to Donghu New Village."

After leaving the airport, the two went to Donghu New Village.

It was not until two days later that Liang Meiqin returned to Hong Kong, and Du Shaojie finally had some free time.

Not only have I been cooking less recently, but I’ve also been doing fewer simulation training sessions.

After taking a break for such a long time, he calmed down and focused on honing his cooking skills again. Suddenly, he discovered that his cooking skills had improved without him noticing.

"Maybe it's the same with everything, too much is as bad as too little, sometimes it's not a bad thing to take a proper break."

Du Shaojie felt something and immediately entered the simulated scene.

After 10 hours of hard work, an innovative version of [Chicken with Belly Wrapped in Soup] was finally created. The taste of this dish is completely different from the original one, but it has a unique flavor and is very delicious.

That night.

Du Shaojie made an innovative version of "Chicken with Belly Wrapped" at home. Wang Yuxiu and Xiaomei praised it highly. In the end, they even left some soup and ate it all up.

The next day.

Du Shaojie went to the association and invited Luo Sankun and others to have lunch at noon. He once again made an innovative version of [Chicken Wrapped in Belly] for these experts to taste.

"Boss Du, the [Chicken with Tripe] you made has completely overturned the seasoning of the original dish. The Hakka [Chicken with Tripe] has a strong medicinal aroma, but yours has broken away from the inherent pattern and highlighted the characteristics of freshness, fragrance, and smoothness."

"Very delicious, the seasoning is absolutely amazing."

There is no doubt that this innovative dish has been unanimously recognized by everyone, including Luo Sankun who was full of admiration.

The appearance of this dish remains unchanged, but the core has undergone earth-shaking changes. It is both innovative and subversive, and it is also a successful exploration of flavor.

This will be of great benefit to the subsequent improvement of the overall evaluation of the dishes.

"Everyone is welcome. Come on, have a drink."

Du Shaojie was secretly proud, but he spoke modestly.

"Mr. Du, here's the thing. After the cold storage was built, the members who signed the agreement at the beginning all tasted the sweetness. However, according to our estimation, the cold storage may have to be expanded in the future.

Someone suggested to me that when the second phase of the cold storage construction starts, could we leave some shares for everyone? They all want to participate in the shares, under the pretext of risk hedging.

After three rounds of drinks, Luo Sankun coughed and made a suggestion to Du Shaojie in front of everyone.

Du Shaojie was a little surprised, and looked up at Luo Sankun, who blinked calmly. He immediately understood that the so-called "some people" were probably the majority of members.

The cold storage he invested in and built made huge profits from the beginning of its operation.

Regardless of whether the price of raw materials in the market rises or not, the catering management company is profitable, and the profit margin is not low.

These members saw the huge economic benefits inherent in this, so they wanted to get involved. (End of this chapter)
