Chapter 223: Mung Bean Cake
At Xinhai University, Ning Dandan held a book and sat in the corner of the library, holding the pages in a daze.
From getting up at six in the morning to now at half past eight in the evening, she has been sitting here for more than a dozen hours. Since she returned to school, it's been a month, she is taking a year off from school, and now she is in class with her sophomore year, fortunately, her classmates are very friendly to her, except for a few people who have heard some clues from the mouths of the seniors, who are not very friendly to her, others are quite easy to get along with.
She didn't touch the things she learned in her freshman year for more than a year, and she forgot all about them, but fortunately, the few courses she opened in her sophomore year were all new courses, and she didn't need any foundation, which is the benefit of going to college, most of the courses are independent of each other, not as coherent as when she was in middle school, and she can't keep up with it for a year.
"Dandan, it's so late, come with us for a supper and go back to rest." A girl said to Ning Dandan enthusiastically.
Ning Dandan smiled slightly: "I'll look at it for a while." β
There is no Su Ruotong in her sophomore year, she must get back the position she lost as a top student!
Thinking of Su Ruotong, Ning Dandan clenched his palm tightly, and the nails he clutched hurt for a while.
She didn't expect that Su Ruotong would be so vicious, and because of a little contradiction when she was studying, she killed her child like this. She has already inquired, although Su Ruotong has taken leave this year, she will definitely come back for the exam at the end of the term, she must endure it, endure it until the end of the semester and take revenge in one fell swoop!
Su Ruotong didn't feel Ning Dandan's complaints at all, she was in the capital at this time, and she was very busy.
Last time, Su Changqing made a phone call, as expected, he really wanted to take over the business here. If it was just Su Changqing, Su Ruotong would definitely reach out and offer it, without any objections, she took care of it very well, every person in the position was in his place, seeking justice, and there was a special manager in management, so there was no need to worry about it at all.
But the strange thing is that the person sent by Su Changqing to help manage the business turned out to be Wei Qingxiao.
She and Wei Qingxiao haven't seen each other for more than a year, and Su Ruotong hasn't seen the Wei family since they took in Ning Dandan and made those bad things.
Wei Qingxiao is considered to be airborne, she has never worked outside, she basically stays in Europe since she was a villain, she is a little introverted, she is a little taciturn, and she usually can't see anything when she has a simple conversation, but on the first day here, she made all kinds of people below hint to Su Ruotong to make small reports - all of them were not well communicated with Wei Qingxiao, which made the work extremely inefficient, and even affected the business.
In the final analysis, it is because Wei Qingxiao is not proficient in Chinese, and she doesn't know many Chinese characters, but Su Changqing positioned her as the general manager of the Beijing branch, and everything must be done from her, even more powerful than Su Ruotong.
Su's Restaurant in the capital is cramped and there is no office, so Su Ruotong pulled Wei Qingxiao to the small workbench opened up in the back kitchen to talk.
"Cousin, are you still comfortable here? Su Ruotong said.
Wei Qingxiao's eyes and nose and heart are still the same old appearance as if they came out of the Taoist temple: "It's okay." β
"Cousin, if you have something, just say it, it's all your own family, don't be polite. Employees report that you don't communicate well with them, whether you are not used to the language. β
Restaurant management, it is inevitable to use some professional terms, the usual conversation is absolutely different, plus the business is busy, who will slow down the speed of speech, a little bit of explanation.
Saying this, Wei Qingxiao's face was a little ugly. When she came to the Beijing branch, she said that she had parachuted down to be the supervisor, but in fact, she was very awkward in her heart, when did the Wei family fall to the point of settling down with the Su family? But this is the case.
Her parents took back a boy, saying that it was a successor, her identity in the Wei family was a little invisible, not embarrassed or embarrassed, but now it has become more transparent, or when her mother Chu Yuxi was chatting with her aunt Chu Yuhu, Chu Yuhu showed off how developed the Su family is now, and there are branches in the capital, and it is very high-end. Chu Yuxi didn't believe it in his heart, and inadvertently searched, and found that the reputation of this Beijing branch was quite loud, and the business was booming, so he thought about sending back Wei Qingxiao, who had no foothold in the Wei family in Europe.
In all fairness, Su Changqing's brother-in-law is still qualified, and after hearing Chu Yuxi's request to let her niece come over to "temper" her, she sent her over without saying a word, but she was still uncomfortable in her heart.
From Europe to Huaxia, she felt that she was demoted, and now this little cousin who always has a cold face still dislikes her for not understanding Huaxia.
"I know three languages. Wei Qingxiao was very displeased and switched to English: "My English, Portuguese and Spanish are all very good. I don't need to worry about my communication with the staff, but I found out today that there are several foreign guests who come to dine, and the waiters don't speak foreign languages, and I am very worried about that! I think we need to fire those low-quality employees. β
This Wei Qingxiao's job has not been done yet, but he is about to get on and off the horse, Su Ruotong simply doesn't know what to say. And now because of their reputation, their restaurant will have international friends come to dine from time to time, but those people either bring their own translators, or they can speak two sentences of Chinese, no matter how bad they look at the menu, anything will not be delicious, no need for Wei Qingxiao to eat radish first and worry about it.
Since Wei Qingxiao has a hard mouth, Su Ruotong doesn't say anything, she can only try her best to take all the work that Wei Qingxiao can't do in her own hands, plus she always has to go to the office of the Yumei Charity Foundation in the capital every once in a while, and she has a lot of work in her hands, and she can't put down her schoolwork, otherwise what will she do with the final exam? Inside and out, she is several times busier than before.
Within a few days, the employees also found out that Su Ruotong and Wei Qingxiao could do things, so why bother to go to Wei Qingxiao again, if there was any problem, they went to Su Ruotong to solve it.
Although Wei Qingxiao always treats people with a cold face like Su Ruotong, Su Ruotong's cold face is heard to have injured his facial nerves in a car accident a few years ago, but he didn't mean it, and he did things quickly and well, never spoke to them harshly, and had the ability to take responsibility. But Wei Qingxiao is different, Wei Qingxiao is not expressionless, but always has a face, can smile but does not smile, is very fierce, does not do things and does not say anything, and if something goes wrong, he will pour dirty water on their heads, and he completely refuses to admit that he has a problem with his ability.
But who made Wei Qingxiao a relative of the boss's family, this Buddha, no one can afford to offend you.
Su Ruotong is busy, so she can't stay at home often.
Fortunately, Tao Xian was also busy during this time, because he had to shoot a show, he always stayed in the field for three or four days a week, and the rest of the time had to make up the interior scenes, and he had to stare at the editing, even in the capital, he started at five or six o'clock in the morning and went back around eleven o'clock in the evening, or even later, and the two didn't even have much time to meet.
Sunday is a time of rest for others, but for Su Ruotong and Tao Xian, it is a busier day.
Su's Restaurant has the most guests on Saturdays and Sundays, and Su Ruotong not only has everything on the Prime Minister's side, but also occasionally goes to the kitchen to help.
Tao Xian has to go out on location again on Monday, and he needs to sort out the materials and cases to be used next week, as well as various machines, communicate up and down, and sort out all the programs that were recorded and cut last week, so he can't stay at home at all.
Late at night, Su Ruotong had already slept, Tao Xian came back to the house lightly, there was an autumn rain today, and Tao Xian, who was wearing a thick suit, could still feel a chill.
The room was extremely quiet, only the light that Su Ruotong left for Tao Xian at the entrance was still on, which made his heart warm up instantly.
In addition to the lamp in the entrance, there was also a note: "I made you a snack, take it with you when you go out, and put it on the table." β
Looking at the note, Tao Xian's tired and stiff body suddenly seemed to be full of strength again.
He is already thirty years old, and he can slowly feel it over the years, he is no longer as able to survive as he was when he was young, he used to be so energetic, more than everyone in the crew, but now he is all relying on hard support, and he himself is thinking about whether to change the way he works.
When I walked to the table and turned on the light, I saw several boxes of snacks on the large brown workbench, arranged by time, and the sticks on them read: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
During the day, he was busy and sent a text message to Su Ruotong to transfer the work plan for the next week to her. This time the show is going to a poor rural place, where the water is very salty, the taste is weird, there are no special products, the people have long loved to eat pickled vegetables, and the incidence of cancer is extremely high.
On the one hand, I went there to do a show, on the one hand, I used the local rare specialties to make a food show, which is more challenging and down-to-earth, and on the other hand, I also had the intention of making a modest contribution to improving the eating habits and structure of local residents through the program. Anyway, since Su Ruotong became the director of the Yumei Charity Foundation, Tao Xian himself has become more and more virtuous.
Tao Xian doesn't like food with a particularly strong taste, open the box, the first box of mint mung bean cake neatly stacked into squares, smelling the taste, not sweet, not even as soft as ordinary mung bean cake, but a little crispy, taste it gently, Tao Xian felt a different feeling permeate his mouth.
The sand is soft and melts in the mouth, but it seems to give the tongue some hard touch, if you have to describe it, it is like eating dragon beard candy, but the taste is very different.
Autumn is dry, with Tao Envy's tongue to taste, this mung bean cake is made of fresh mung beans, the most is to relieve the heat of the autumn tiger, eat two bites, lips and teeth, in the capital, maybe not very precious, but to the shooting location such a place with poor water quality and little water, absolutely wonderful.
Look at the second and third boxes, these different delicate dim sum, in addition to being delicious, also take into account where he is going next.
Tao Xian's heart was soft, so he simply took off his shoes and walked upstairs lightly. He saw and heard a lot around him, and both husband and wife were busy with workβand even if only one of them was busy with work, they would not die well. But that's just that both sides are not attentive enough, and he believes that he and Tongtong will have a good result.
As usual, Tao Xian, who was walking barefoot on the carpet and did not make any sound, gently pushed open Su Ruotong's door and imprinted a kiss on Su Ruotong's forehead.
She slept so soundly, slept so sweetly, she must be having the most beautiful dream.
Tao Xian sighed slightly, and his eyes seemed to flow with honey: he Tao Xian will never live up to Tongtong in this life.
