My courtyard shelter

The moment the pressure cooker was opened, a rich meaty aroma quickly spread.

Lele shouted loudly: "Wow, it smells so good!"

Xu Dong picked up a small piece of emperor goose meat with chopsticks, blew the hot air vigorously, then gently put it into his mouth and chewed it. He felt the meat was rich and rich, and he felt like eating a big pot of meat after an hour.

Very happy, very happy.

"Honey, how does it taste?" Yang Lina asked.

Xu Dong nodded repeatedly: "Not bad, not bad. The meat is crispy, fragrant and soft, and has a full taste. Your husband has done an extraordinary job this time."

"Let me try." Xu Ma stepped forward and tasted a piece of meat.

"Mom, is it delicious?" Xu Dong asked expectantly.

"It's not bad. It's sour and sweet, not too greasy. Dabao and the others will definitely like it." Xu Ma affirmed.

"Dad, I want to try it too." Lele shouted.

Xu Dong waved his hand: "Don't worry, pick up your own plate and come one by one."

Lele was first in line. Xu Dong fished out a fist-sized piece of meat for her, then put some vegetables in it, and finally poured a large spoonful of broth and sprinkled with chopped green onion. It was perfect.

Next came Coco and Ma Xu, and Xu Dong followed suit.

The next one was the triplets. The three brothers had small appetites, and the meat contained red wine, so children could not eat more. Xu Dong fished out a small piece of meat for each of them, about the size of an egg.

"Dad, I want more." Dabao said eagerly.

"We'll finish eating first. It won't taste good if it's cold." Xu Dong coaxed.

Finally, it’s time for the adults. Each person should fish out two large pieces of meat and then serve them with fried rice soaked in soup. It’s really perfect.

At this time, the advantages of being a single-family house become apparent. At least you don’t have to worry about your neighbors. No matter how much the smell of meat spreads, it won’t spread to the neighborhood next door.

Seeing the children devouring their food, Xu’s mother reminded loudly: “Eat slowly, don’t choke.”

"Grandma, my uncle's stewed meat is so delicious." Ma Xu's mouth was filled with food.

Xu Ting poured her son a glass of watermelon juice.

Ma Xu quickly took a big sip, and then stuffed another big mouthful of meat. He was afraid that he would eat slowly and that the meat on the plate would be snatched away.

Ma Lingling ate more gracefully, but not at all slow. After chewing a few times with her little mouth, she finished a piece of meat.

"Grandma, I've finished eating."

Dabao showed his grandma the empty plate. He didn't eat the egg-sized pieces of meat and finished it in two or three bites.

Xu's mother smiled and touched her eldest grandson's head: "Well, our eldest son is really awesome."

"Grandma, I want more, Dabao isn't full yet!"

After speaking, the little guy lifted up his body, revealing his swollen belly.

Xu Ma stretched out her hand to touch it and joked: "Oh, you are really full. Grandma will get you another piece of meat."

"Mom, that's about it. If you eat too much, you'll feel uncomfortable at night." Yang Lina quickly advised her.

"It's okay." Xu Ma waved her hand, "I'll get him a small piece."

Just after comforting the eldest baby, the second baby also finished eating and showed the empty plate to grandma.

Yang Lina took the plate, scooped out a piece of meat the size of a billiard ball for her second son, and then added several pieces of carrots and mushrooms.

Erbao said with a bitter face: "Mom, I don't eat carrots."

"Eat carrots and grow taller." Yang Lina comforted her.

"Then why don't you eat, brother?"

Yang Lina quickly added some carrots and mushrooms to Dabao. Dabao made a face at his second brother, and then obediently ate all the carrots and mushrooms.

When Xiaobao saw this, he put down his plate obediently and quickly expressed that he was full.

"Little naughty boy." Yang Lina pinched her youngest son's tender face.

…

On the other side, Xu Dong had a few drinks with his father.

"Dad, how has the company's performance been in the past two months?"

Father Xu put down his wine glass, put a piece of shiitake mushroom into his mouth, "Changming's performance is booming, and he has so many orders that he can hardly finish them. Ye Hui's personal ability is indeed very strong. As long as she is here, nothing will happen to the company." ”

"What about Hongtu's side?"

"Well, my side is much worse. Last month's profit was only over 500,000 yuan. It's more than enough than above!"

"Hongtu has hundreds of employees anyway. It's not a small company. How come it makes so much money?" Xu Dong frowned.

Xu Ting listened on the sidelines and couldn't help but exclaimed: "More than half a million is too little? It must be six million this year. Even if your brother-in-law and I work until we are old, we will not earn so much money."

"Sister, this is not the same thing at all, okay!" Xu Dong said with a bitter smile.

"Second brother, your brother is right, I failed to run the company well." Father Xu agreed.

"Dad, you are already old. You can earn six million a year, which is already very good." Xu Ting comforted her quickly.

Father Xu shook his head: "Age is no excuse, your father still knows himself."

"Dad, is the company encountering any difficulties?" Xu Dong asked with concern.

"Lao San, your original analysis was correct. The competition in the waste recycling industry is too fierce. Each steel plant is trying its best to lower the price, and the profits are getting thinner and thinner." Father Xu explained.

Although Hongtu Group collects all kinds of scrap products, the bulk is still steel, which accounts for almost 70 to 80% of the company's revenue.

Xu Dong thought about it and couldn't help but suggest: "Dad, I happen to know someone from a steel factory here. Do you want to help you connect?"

"No need, the market situation is not good now, no matter how many connections you have, it will be useless." Xu's father refused.

"Dad, there's no harm in giving it a try." Xu Ting helped persuade him.

Dad Xu just wouldn't listen.

Xu Dong looked at his father and asked tentatively: "Dad, do you have a plan in mind?"

"Yeah!" Dad Xu nodded, "I want to save up profits for two or three years first, and then directly open a small steel plant and build a one-stop industrial chain, and then the profits will rise."

"Uh, how much does it cost to invest in a small steel plant?"

"I have consulted, and it will probably be less than 10 million. The main problem is that water and electricity are more troublesome, but Manager Yuan promised to help me run relationships, so it shouldn't be a problem."

"Dad, you have to think about it. The environmental impact assessment here in the capital is very strict. Small steel plants may not even pass the approval for building a factory." Xu Dong reminded.

Mom Xu took the opportunity to interrupt and said: "Old man, you were talking about Dongzi a few days ago. I think you are more troublesome than the third child."

Dad Xu smiled awkwardly. Anyway, it was still early, so the topic was skipped.

Tonight's dinner was over in half an hour. Although it was short, everyone ate a lot.

"Wow, I'm so full!" Lele slumped in a chair, looking satisfied.

Ma Xu was even more unbearable, lying directly on the sofa. Xu Ting wiped her son's face with a towel, complaining: "I told you to eat less, why don't you listen!"

"Mom, if you don't eat more, you won't have a chance in the future." Ma Xu muttered.

"It's not worry-free at all."

The triplets had just been fed a lot of meat by their sisters behind their grandmother and mother's backs, and they were also full. Xu's mother quickly boiled a pot of hawthorn water, and the little guys drank half a bowl each, which made them feel better.
