Wen Rugui went back to the base after only staying at home for a day that day, and called back as soon as he got back to the base.

After that, I had to make at least two or three calls every day. Every time I hung up, I could feel his reluctance drifting from the other side of the phone.

Tong Xuelu understands his excitement about being a father at first, but he is too clingy.

Since she became pregnant, her family has treated her as porcelain, and she needs protection everywhere. She can't wait for her to lie in bed 24 hours a day without moving, which makes her laugh.

Later, she pulled Grandma Shen to help as a lobbyist, and after giving lessons to a house of inexperienced men, she regained her freedom.

Tong Xuelu knows her body well, and she intends to open the Luweizhai and the restaurant as planned.

Luweizhai has already started to make a profit. As long as there are no mistakes, Guo Chunyu can take care of the rest of the matter.

Next, her focus should be on the restaurant side. If her body is uncomfortable, she will put her body first and leave the restaurant to Deng Hong to take care of it, or she can temporarily suspend business.

If her body is okay, then she intends to do it, but she is pregnant, not so delicate.

When she got up that morning, she ate the breakfast that Uncle Zong made for her, a cup of soy milk, two steamed buns, an apple and a nut.

Nuts are what she proposed to eat. Nuts are very nutritious, and they are very useful for both adults and children.

After breakfast, she took the car to Luweizhai for inspection.

Because Luweizhai's business is good, many people have seen business opportunities and the purchasing power of students. Several shops next to it are currently under renovation.

After seeing her, Guo Chunyu reported to her about the business and customer feedback in the past few days, and said worriedly: "Manager Tong, I've inquired about the restaurants next door, if they do it well. Will it affect our business?"

Tong Xuelu smiled and said: "It will definitely have an impact at the beginning, but in the long run, it is a good thing."

Guo Chunyu looked confused: "What do you say?"

Tong Xuelu explained: "If this street is always only our shop, even if the reputation spreads, there will be limited people. But if one day this street becomes a food street, the whole street will sell delicious food. , Then more and more people will be attracted."

Guo Chunyu thought for a while and nodded: "Or Manager Tong, if you have a long-term vision, I can only see before my eyes."

Tong Xuelu smiled: "What do you think of the five people who came to help?"

Guo Chunyu: "Manager Tong has a very good vision. The five of them are very capable and able to bear hardships and stand hard work. I didn't let them work without pushing them back. But if you want to say the best and capable, you must belong to the young man named Jiang Junli.

Jiang Junli is Jiang Baihui's distant relative. If he counts his seniority, he should be Jiang Baihui's cousin.

Tong Xuelu raised her eyebrows: "Oh, what did he do?"

Guo Chunyu: "A student came over that day and said that our lomei was not fresh. He had diarrhea and asked us to apologize and compensate in public, and he is not allowed to open again after the closing."

"I went out at the time. Only him and my stupid brother were in the store. Wei Ping was so scared that he couldn't say anything anymore. Jiang Junli was able to stay steady. He said on the spot that he would send him to the hospital for an examination, and then went to the Public Security Bureau Reporting the case, the person heard that he was going to the hospital and reporting the case, and he was immediately persuaded."

Tong Xuelu: "Are you sure that the other party is a student?" She suspected that someone had deliberately made trouble because of her good business.

As for the suspect, she thought of Qian Caixin.

Guo Chunyu shook his head: "When I came back, the other party had already squeezed into the crowd and ran away. We were afraid that it would be bad if things were going wrong, so we didn't chase after him. Manager Tong, did we do something wrong?"

Tong Xuelu comforted: "It's okay, you are doing a good job. Don't be afraid of things, don't have to reason with them, just report to the police directly."

Jiang Junli's handling of things so calmly and steadily is beyond her accident, and he will observe and observe later, if there is no problem, he can be cultivated as a backbone.

Guo Chunyu nodded: "By the way, Manager Tong, the weather is getting cold day by day, and we are afraid that business will decline by then."

Mala Tang is hot, the colder the weather, the better the business, but the lo-mei is frozen like popsicles, surely no one wants to buy it.

Tong Xuelu praised: "Your opinion is very good. Looking back, the weather is cold. I have new dishes, so don't worry."

When the time comes, the supply of lomei will be relatively reduced, and barbecues can be started. When the weather is cold, other shops will start business, and more and more people will know that there are food sellers in this street.

Guo Chunyu looked at Tong Xuelu's well-established appearance, and his heart was full of admiration.

Sure enough, there is a big gap between people. Regardless of Mr. Tong's young age, he is so capable, first-class cooking, very experienced in the world, and the city's first exam in study.

It's nothing compared to nothing.

After leaving "Lu Wei Zhai", Tong Xuelu went to the state-owned hotel where Deng Hong was located. Deng Hong said that there were two chefs who could introduce her.

Jiang Danhong was also here when he came to the state-owned hotel.

"Do you have no class today?" Tong Xuelu asked.

"There is no class today. I heard that you are going to hire a chef, so I came over and have a look."

Jiang Danhong said, while pouring her tea made from winter melon peel.

"I just drink plain water."

Tong Xuelu knew that she was kind, and if she was the only woman in a house, there would be gossips.

Jiang Danhong said strangely: "Don't you usually like to drink winter melon peel tea? Why don't you drink it today?"

Tong Xuelu glanced down at her stomach and said with a smile on her mouth: "I'm pregnant."

Jiang Danhong was startled for a moment: "Really? Why are you so fast? Congratulations!"

Tong Xuelu: "Yes, I didn't expect it to be so fast."

"This should be January, right?

"Yes, for exactly one month, the tea made from wax gourd peels is cool. You should not drink it when you come to the moon. Drinking too much may cause body cold and dysmenorrhea."

Jiang Danhong looked shocked: "Is there any other saying? I still like to drink it, especially in summer. I drink it almost every day. No wonder the pain is so bad when the month comes. It seems that I will drink less in the future."

While the two were talking, Deng Hong walked in with the middle-aged man from outside.

Deng Hong saw Tong Xuelu and greeted him with a smile: "Comrade Tong came so early?"

Tong Xuelu: "Well, these two should be the masters you want to introduce?"

Deng Hong nodded and pointed to the man with a small head and said, "This is Master Huang Dakai, with fifteen years of cooking experience."

Then he pointed to the lanky middle-aged man and said: "This is Master Song Weijun, with 17 years of cooking experience. Both of them worked in state-run restaurants in other provinces. Recently, their family came to Beijing to make a living, and they followed suit. Come here, I didn't find a job for a while."

After speaking, he said to the two of them: "This **** is the owner of the hotel."

The two masters hurriedly said: "Hello, Manager Tong."

Tong Xuelu smiled and said, "You two masters are welcome, tell me what dishes each is best at?"

Huang Dakai spoke in plastic Mandarin: "I am a Cantonese bank, and I am good at making Cantonese cuisine, and I also do well in dim sum."

Song Weijun said concisely: "I am from Sichuan and I am good at cooking Sichuan cuisine."

Deng Hong smiled and said, "Why don't you let the two masters cook two good dishes on the spot for everyone to try?"

Tong Xuelu said yes.

So Deng Hong took two masters to the kitchen to cook.

"Sister Dan Hong, what do you plan to do after graduation?"

Tong Xuelu took out the snacks from the bag to eat with Jiang Danhong.

Her appetite has become very good these days, and she is always hungry easily.

Jiang Danhong: "I want to take the postgraduate exam. If possible, I want to go to the university to be a teacher."

"This is okay. Being a college teacher is much easier than being a primary school teacher."

The key is that the treatment and social status are different, and Jiang Danhong's personality is indeed more suitable to stay in school.

After more than an hour, the two masters came out with their specialties.

Master Huang Dakai made a crispy barbecued pork and a dim sum quicksand bun.

The crispy barbecued pork is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the skin is crispy. The pork meat below is smooth and tender, and the taste is not strong. After eating it, the mouth will remain sweet, a typical Cantonese practice.

Tong Xuelu took a chopstick and commented: "Master Huang's crispy char siu is done very well, but if the color of the char siu is a little more golden, it would be even better."

Master Huang Dakai nodded fiercely: "Manager Tong deserves to be a first-class chef. I ask myself that this crispy char siu tastes better than mine, but my skin is always bad, which causes the skin to turn black."

Tong Xuelu: "This has something to do with your heat. I will show it to you when I look back."

Master Huang Dakai was startled for a moment, and then smiled: "Manager Tong means I was admitted?"

Tong Xuelu nodded, then picked up the quicksand bag he made.

The skin of the quicksand buns is soft and tender, and a bite of the golden fillings suddenly flows out like golden sand. The fillings are sweet and salty, and the taste is very tender.

Tong Xuelu ate the whole thing, she missed the authentic quicksand bag for a long time.

Master Song Weijun made a mapo tofu and a kung pao chicken.

The Mapo Tofu is spicy and tender, and the Kung Pao Chicken has strong spicy flavor and crispy meat. The more you chew, the more delicious it is.

Tong Xuelu also affirmed Master Song Weijun's cooking skills, and pointed out that his Mapo Tofu is a bit older, but eventually accepted him.

However, her restaurant was still open for half a month, and Tong Xuelu asked the two of them to report to the restaurant in advance.

When she came out of the state-run hotel, she wanted to go to the department store to buy something, but she didn't know if it was because of her pregnancy. She usually had good energy, but now she felt a little tired.

So she gave up the idea of ​​going to the department store and went to take the bus home.

After waiting for the bus for half an hour, Tong Xuelu decided to make money back. The first thing was to buy a car.

As soon as she entered the house, the mooncake rushed towards her, but stopped halfway through the rush, and smelled around her stomach.

Tong Xuelu had previously heard that animals are very spiritual, and when she noticed that her owner was pregnant, she would take the initiative to stop lunging.

She rubbed the head of the moon cake: "Moon cake, do you know that I'm pregnant?"

The mooncake yelled at her softly, completely different from the usual sassy and heroic appearance.

At this moment, the wooden door was suddenly pushed open, and Wen Rugui walked in with a sweat from the outside: "Where have you been? I went to Luweizhai and couldn't find you."

Tong Xuelu stood up and said strangely: "I went to Luweizhai, and then went to the state-run hotel where Manager Deng was appointed. Why did you come back suddenly?"

Wen Rugui walked over and checked her and found that she was okay. Then he said, "I bought you a cassette tape recorder. My friend's dog gave birth to a cub. It was exactly one month old. Brought here together."

When Tong Xuelu heard the puppies, he looked curious and said, "Where is the puppy?"

Wen Rugui took her hand and looked at the little milk dog.

The little milk dog is a kind of wolfdog, because it is still small and looks a bit naive. It looks at Tong Xuelu stupidly with a pair of big watery eyes.

Tong Xuelu fell in love all of a sudden, rubbing the little guy's head: "What name should I call you?"

"Wow~"

The little milk dog barked twice.

Then I listened to Wen Rugui: "It's better to call it Green Turtle."

Tong Xuelu's mouth twitched violently: "..."

She really didn't expect that after so long, Wen Rugui still remembered the name, she immediately denied it, and finally named the little milk dog a quicksand bag.

Because the quicksand buns she ate just now tasted so good, she felt that she could still eat three or four more, so she gave the little milk dog this name.

Wen Rugui regretted that the little milk dog could not be named "Green Tortoise".

At night, she leaned in Wen Rugui's arms after washing.

The gentle gesture gently stroked her flat belly: "Where you are going in the future, tell your family members so that they don't worry about you."

Tong Xuelu hooked his neck and took a bite on his chin: "Okay, just listen to you. I will go out and talk to Uncle Zong later."

Wen Rugui was bitten by her and her body trembled, and she opened the distance between the two and said: "You bear it, I have asked the doctor, it will take three or four months before..."

Tong Xuelu: "..."

Ouch, she seems to be very hungry.

Wen Rugui saw that she was silent, and thought she was angry: "I will come back to accompany you and your children more in the future."

Seeing how well he said it, Tong Xuelu couldn't bear to tease him.

The point is that her spirit is indeed not as good as before, and she is already tired now.

Watching her yawn again and again, Wen Rugui helped her lie down and said, "Since you are sleepy, let's go to sleep."

He got up and turned off the light, Tong Xuelu hugged his waist, and soon fell asleep.

I don't know how long she slept, but she was awakened by the voice in a daze.

She opened her eyes and saw Wen Rugui sitting by the bed, and said to the empty chair: "Did you really let your father arrange a woman to approach Shi Xiuneng?"
