Chapter 47 047(1/2)
After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, almost all walks of life in Hangzhou returned to normal operation. Early in the morning, Qingxi also took Meng Jin, Cuicui and Xiaolan to the noodle shop to clean and prepare for business. Yuxi went to school, Lin Wanyin wanted to go to Han Jiazhiqin, and Yunxi was so playful that she insisted on following her elder sister to the noodle shop.
The four-year-old girl couldn't do her job, so Qingxi assigned an important task to her sister, asking her to look at Fugui and not allow Fugui to go into the noodle shop. The half-year-old Fugui is already very big, and the more she grows, she looks like Laifu. Her black hair is quite fierce and fierce. The puppy is cute and the big dog is scary. Qingxi decided not to allow Fugui to come to the noodle shop to make trouble in the future.
"Miss Qingxi is going to open, too?" Manager Zhou from the Western Restaurant came over to greet him.
Qingxi people were in the kitchen and did not show up. Xiaolan looked at Manager Zhou who had already walked in, and said lightly while wiping the table: "Happy New Year, Manager Zhou, but you should stay outside. It's messy inside and dust. Don't dirty your leather shoes."
Cuicui got a hint and walked out with the dirty water from the washing cloth: "Manager Zhou borrowed it, and I'm not responsible for the water splashing on you."
The two maids were all literary and military. Manager Zhou was particularly afraid of Cuicui and hurriedly avoided her. As soon as he went out, he saw Chen Yao, a mountain guest, coming in a rickshaw. The handsome young man in a jade-colored long gown, was elegant and handsome, which made people shine. Cuicui also saw it, and her smile was bright and called "Shao Chen" with a bright smile.
Chen Yao nodded at Cuicui and stopped the rickshaw.
They are all neighbors, but the treatment is vastly different. Manager Zhou felt sour and turned around and left.
Cuicui was about to go in after pouring water when she saw the young master of the Chen family walking towards the third lady sitting on a small bench and combing the rich and beautiful hair.
"Who are you?" Yun Xi asked the strange brother Jun in a daze.
Chen Yao squatted down, and the more he looked at the little girl, the more beautiful she became, and couldn't help but smile and said, "I am the shopkeeper of the restaurant next door."
Yunxi tilted his head, stared at Shanjuke for a while, and suddenly stretched out his two chubby little hands and gestured a big circle: "Our restaurant is bigger than yours!"
Chen Yao cooperated with the girl doll and asked in surprise: "Is that true?"
Yunxi nodded seriously, then remembered something, the girl drooped her head and said, "The bad guy set fire to the fire, burned the restaurant, and his father died."
Chen Yao was moved, but he didn't know how to comfort the girl. Most people in Xiucheng Xu Wangshan, Xu Qingtang, and Hangzhou did not know each other, and they were even unprecedented. However, in restaurants in this province, Xu Wangshan is definitely a figure. Xiucheng has a chef competition, and Hangzhou also has one. Many years ago, a provincial official wanted to hold a provincial chef competition in Hangzhou. Xu Wangshan represented Xiucheng to participate in the competition, and successfully squeezed into the top four. Unfortunately, the situation was turbulent that year, and the chef competition was forced to be suspended. Later, there was no provincial competition.
The case of the Xu family in Xiucheng was not reported. It was not until Miss Qingxi showed off Xu Qingtang's sign that he went home and mentioned that his father, who had participated in the chef competition at the same time as Xu Wangshan, was shocked. After inquiring, he learned about Xu Wangshan's death. His father expressed deep regret and specifically instructed him to take care of Miss Qingxi.
Miss Ruoqingxi is a man, and Chen Yao had tried to make friends, but Chen Yao deliberately kept a distance when a lady who had just broken off the engagement. When the restaurant guests asked about Xu Qingtang, Chen Yao tried his best to help Xu Qingtang promote it, and the daily newspaper sent someone to interview, and Chen Yao also introduced it.
"Do you want to go to my house to see?" He noticed that the girl's baby secretly glanced at the restaurant several times, and Chen Yao gently invited him.
Yunxi's eyes lit up, and the fat little fat slapped Fugui who was lying under his feet, and he wanted to visit him.
Qingxi rushed out after hearing the news.
Chen Yao nodded at her, polite.
"Sister, brother wants to take me to the restaurant to play." Yunxi told his sister obediently.
Qingxi was flattered and worriedly asked: "Will it cause you trouble?"
Chen Yao smiled and said, "It has not been opened yet, and the restaurant is empty and it is not a problem. Why don't Miss Qingxi go with you?"
For people in the restaurant industry, a time-honored restaurant is like a treasure in the eyes of ancient players, which is fascinating.
Qingxi had been curious about the situation inside the mountain guest, and immediately responded in surprise: "Then I'll disturb you."
She led her sister and Chen Yao led the way.
Yunxi is too small and has a deviation in cognition, but Qingxi knows that Shanjuke is much larger than its own restaurant. It is also a two-story restaurant. Shanjuke has forty or fifty tables on the first floor, and the second floor is full of private rooms separated by screens. The breeze blows in, and there are mountains and waters on the screen, as if you are in a paradise.
"Sister, let's eat here at noon?" Yun Xi was greedy.
Qingxi looked at the owner of the restaurant and said awkwardly: "The restaurant will open tomorrow."
Yunxi's big watery eyes turned to Chen Yao.
Chen Yao said, "Yunxi is here tomorrow, my brother will treat you to you."
Yunxi laughed.
Qingxi wanted to refuse politely, but Chen Yao stopped her with his eyes, and his voice clearly revealed the origins between the two fathers.
Qingxi was stunned.
Chen Yao sighed, "Although I have never met Uncle Xu, my father once said that in terms of cooking skills, among his peers, he only admired Uncle Xu in his life, and told me to take care of the eldest lady. The eldest lady has a great cooking skills and business is booming. I can't help much, so I can only give up the friendship of the landlord and invite the old lady, wife and three young ladies to the restaurant to attend the banquet."
He was very sincere, so Qingxi couldn't refuse any more, and he repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
Chen Yao continued to invite her to visit the kitchen.
When Lin Wanyin took a rickshaw to the outside of the Han family's villa, a black car happened to drive out.
Lin Wanyin will temporarily avoid the roadside.
Before the New Year, she was mourning for her husband for three months, and her clothes were light. It was still in the first month of the year and the New Year atmosphere was still strong. If she was at home, Lin Wanyin still liked to wear it simpler, but when she came to class for the innocent girl, Lin Wanyin wore a purple embroidered cheongsam made for the New Year, so as not to be unlucky for the employer.
A slim woman stood tall on the side of the road, with a gentle and gentle face. The driver couldn't help but glance at her. Han Rong, the back seat, couldn't help but glance at her, with a hint of suspicion flashing through her eyes. He had met too many women and had learned too many methods, including a pitiful beauty like Lin Wanyin, who was quite at first, but after a long time, she would show her feet.
Lin Wanyin is dressed so beautifully today. Could it be that she will finally reveal her fox's tail?
Han Rong withdrew his gaze and didn't look at him at all.
The car drove away, and Lin Wanyin went in to find Han Ying. Han Ying was a very enthusiastic and cute girl, and she was also very sensible. The teachers and students got along happily during class.
Halfway through the course, Li's mother suddenly knocked on the door outside.
Lin Wanyin raised her head, Han Ying stopped the piano and asked Li Ma to come in.
"Miss, Director Ma, Miss Ma is here, waiting in the living room. Are you going to meet?"
Han Ying has few friends, and the girls she can contact with are all fathers’ friends and children of her colleagues. Han Ying was only thirteen after the Chinese New Year, but she has a good memory. She immediately introduced to Lin Wanyin: "Teacher, Director Ma is my father's friend. You can rest first, I'll go to entertain you."
Lin Wanyin smiled: "Go."
Han Ying walked out with brisk steps.
In the living room on the first floor, there was a father and daughter sitting on the sofa. A fat man in his forties was a director of an economic department in Hangzhou. The girl next to him was Ma Xiulan. She was ten years old and looked white and fat. She looked around and looked unhonest.
"Uncle Ma, why are you here?" Han Ying came downstairs and asked politely.
Director Ma pulled his daughter up and said with a smile: "Xiulan misses you, so I'll send her over and find the president to play chess."
Han Ying welcomed her friends and said to Director Ma with regret: "It's a coincidence that my father went out for something and came back only at noon."
Director Ma smiled and said, "It's okay, I have nothing urgent to do anyway. By the way, I heard that there was a piano sound upstairs. Yingying was learning the piano? She played it so well."
Han Ying smiled shyly.
Director Ma pushed his daughter in front of him: "Can you let Xiulan learn well with you? Every girl should learn more about this."
Han Ying generously expressed her welcome.
Director Ma wanted to accompany the two girls to go up together.
Li Ma kindly reminded: "Director, the teacher of the teaching lady is not very convenient, so you should wait for the master downstairs."
Director Ma asked knowingly: "Inconvenient?"
Li's mother looked at him calmly without explaining.
Director Ma secretly cursed "Old Devotional Wife", but had to sit back on the sofa.
Director Ma's daughter was only interested in eating and drinking, and did not want to learn the piano at all. She walked around the study boredly, but ran down regardless of Han Ying's advice and asked her father to take her home. The stinky girl couldn't help at all. Director Ma was so angry that she led her daughter to say goodbye. He got out of the car halfway and asked the driver to take her daughter back.
Looking at the watch, Director Ma sat on a bench on the side of the road, basking in the sun and watching the lake view while paying attention to the movements at the door of Han’s house.
Wait and wait, the female teacher finally came out after teaching the class.
The sleepy Director Ma was shocked. When the rickshaw approached, he stood up with a smile and signaled the driver to stop.
Lin Wanyin didn't know him and was about to ask the coachman to continue on his way, but he heard the man introduce himself: "Teacher Lin, I am President Han's friend. I only visited Han's house in the morning. Xiulan is my daughter. Teacher Lin, I didn't have the chance to meet just now. Now I want to talk to you about the tutoring of Guqin. I wonder if it will take you a little time?"
Those who can make friends with Han Rong are either rich or noble, and they want to talk about serious matters again. Lin Wanyin asked the coachman to stop and she got out of the car.
"It's too sunny here, let's go under the shade of the tree." Director Ma said considerately, and after saying that, he passed by first.
After a few steps of the road, Lin Wanyin had to ask the driver to wait, and she followed her in confusion.
Director Ma looked at Lin Wanyin's beautiful face and convex figure, and felt so greedy, but he knew the truth that hasteness would not be understood, so he only showed a father's concern for his daughter and said worriedly: "It's this kind of teacher Lin. You have a rough understanding of Xiulan's temper. It's fun and delicious, and it doesn't look like a lady. I think you taught Yingying so well, so I want to hire you as Xiulan's Guqin teacher. After teaching Yingying, I will teach Xiulan. The salary is the same as that given by President Han. Do you think it's okay?"
Lin Wanyin apologized and said, "Sorry, besides Miss Han's class, I also have to teach my two daughters at home. I really don't have time."
"One class a week is not enough?" Director Ma asked sincerely.
It is okay for Lin Wanyin to force her time, but when she came out to work as a tutor, she was just to help her daughter relieve stress, and to let herself have some breathing, so she should not always be immersed in her nostalgia and guilt for her husband. Now the noodle restaurant business is good, and the family is not short of money to spend. Lin Wanyin lives a fulfilling life every day, so she doesn't want to take more work.
She apologized again, turned around and was about to leave.
"Teacher Lin, wait, this is my business card. If you change your mind, you can call me." Director Ma caught up and handed over a business card.
Lin Wanyin took it politely, and Yu Guangzhong saw a black car coming from the front. Lin Wanyin glanced casually and unexpectedly found that it was Han Rong who had returned. The man was wearing a gray suit and drove over from the rickshaw with an expressionless face.
Lin Wanyin didn't think much about it and got in the car and left. She looked at Director Ma's business card, but she didn't know the man's official position and was not interested in understanding it.
Han Rong returned home.
"Dad!" Han Ying rushed over like a bird and told her father the morning visitors as soon as possible.
The scene of Lin Wanyin and Director Ma getting along closely with each other flashed through his mind. Han Rong's lips raised sarcastically and asked his daughter: "Uncle Ma went to the study to see you playing the piano?"
Han Ying shook her head: "He wanted to go, but Li's mother said that the teacher's identity was inconvenient, so he didn't go. Dad, what's wrong with the teacher?"
Naturally, Han Rong would not explain to his daughter the reason why there were too many troubles in front of the widow's door. He asked his daughter to play by himself, and Han Rong went back to the room to change clothes. He stayed alone in a quiet room for some reason, but the scene always penetrated his mind. The distance was too far away and he didn't see clearly. He only saw Director Ma handing over something to the woman, and the woman even answered it.
After untied the tie for a long time, Han Rong pulled it off in annoyance.
The next day was Saturday, and Han Rong didn't have to go out. After breakfast, he sat on the sofa and read the newspaper. Han Ying was accompanied by Li's mother to ride a bicycle outside. The bride of the girl learned how to bike was very excited.
After Han Rong read a newspaper, Lin Wanyin led Han Ying in.
