Zhao Qiuyue fried four dishes, nine turns of large intestine, fried double crispy in oil, fried sea cucumber with green onions, and sweet and sour carp, all of which are famous Lu dishes.

After Yongliang tasted them one by one, he was full of praise.

Shandong cuisine is mainly salty and fresh, especially known for the heat, "eat in China, fire in Lu Province", in which the fire refers to the fire. Zhao Qiuyue's stir-fried dishes fully embody these characteristics, with good color, flavor and appetite.

"You can eat deliciously, you can eat here in the future, I will prepare a small room for you upstairs, you can eat whenever you want." Zhao Qiuyue was also very happy when she saw that Yongliang was eating sweetly.

"Don't, just let my sister cook for me, when you're hungry, just come here to satisfy your hunger. Yongliang hurriedly said.

"Yongliang, usually in the morning and in the middle of the night, let Chunhua cook for you, and when you go to school, this place is close to the school, you can eat here. Otherwise, wouldn't you have disappointed our mother's wishes?" persuaded Mrs. Zhao.

"Okay. You're welcome. Wang Yongliang listened to what the old lady said, and thought to himself, Zhao Qiuyue came with the idea of repaying her kindness, and if she didn't agree, she was afraid that she would be sad, so she was no longer polite.

"Come on, come on, let's all sit down and eat, this point is also hungry. Yongliang greeted everyone.

Wang Xiangwen was like a stuffy donkey, and he didn't say anything, helping Zhao Qiuyue hand chopsticks to everyone and pour water.

Yongliang saw that Mrs. Zhao spoke and acted in a very orderly manner, and she was quite in the style of everyone, and remembered the questions when she was in Shuibei, and became interested in her life experience, but it was difficult to speak at this time, so she should wait until she got home and ask Sister Chunhua.

"Mosquito, have you found a good house?" asked Yongliang.

"I've found it, it's just north of the hotel, two rooms on the bottom, and there is a courtyard at the back, which can be used as a warehouse. Wang Xiangwen replied.

"Okay, you hurry up, you have to recruit people, and you have to arrange the façade, and you have to work a lot. ”

"Well, got it. ”

During the meal, Zhao Qiuyue brought a basket of steamed buns, a bowl of sweet foam per person.

Sweet foam is a specialty of Shuibei, and it was not until after 2000 that it was transmitted to Gaoping in the previous life. It is a kind of porridge made of millet noodles, soybeans, kelp, peanuts, tofu skin, vermicelli, ginger shreds, and salt as the main ingredients, commonly known as "five-spice sweet foam".

In his previous life, Yongliang loved to drink it the most, and the first time he drank sweet foam in this life, Yongliang was excited, but he didn't expect it to spread to Gaoping so quickly.

Not to mention, Zhao Qiuyue's level of stir-frying is good, and the level of boiling sweet foam is also very high, which is better than the best sweet foam he has ever drunk in his previous life, and now Yongliang has more confidence in his own development of the catering industry.

After eating and drinking enough, Yongliang said goodbye and returned home with Zhao Chunhua and Li Honglin.

When they got home, Zhao Chunhua made a cup of tea for Yongliang, and the sister and brother sat under the fig tree and talked.

"Sister, why do I think the old lady is very unusual in her words and actions, she seems to be a beautiful girl, but not like a rural person, what kind of background is she?" asked Yongliang.

"Yongliang, don't say it, your feeling is right. My mother, she is really a beautiful girl. This is our family's secret, and we haven't dared to reveal it to the public for so many years. Zhao Chunhua did not hesitate at all and said to Yongliang.

Zhao Chunhua looked back and saw Li Honglin go back to his house, so she talked about the old lady's life experience.

Mrs. Zhao's surname is Li, her name is Li Yunxiu, her father's name is Li Guowen, a native of Shuibei, during the Liberation War, he was the commander of the Kuomintang lieutenant general and the guard of the south gate of Shuibei. Li Guowen has a wife and two aunts, his wife and his aunt have no children, only the second aunt has a son and a daughter, the son is named Li Fengming, and the daughter is called Li Yunxiu. Although they were born to their aunt's wife, Li Yunxiu and Li Fengming were very doted on by Li Guowen when they were young, and invited famous teachers to teach poetry and literature, laying a good foundation for her brothers and sisters in Chinese studies. According to Li Yunxiu, her brother Li Fengming is good at poetry and writing, and she is good at calligraphy and painting.

She was 16 years old at the time of the Battle of Shuibei. After the People's Liberation Army attacked the north gate, Li Guowen fled south with a guard company to protect the family, but encountered the siege troops of the People's Liberation Army on the way, and the family was scattered. Li Yunxiu was desperately rescued by the guard Zhao Yongshuo, and the two dressed up as a farmer husband and wife, and fled back to Zhao Yongshuo's hometown all the way to ask for food.

Zhao Yongshuo has been working as an apprentice in a restaurant in Shuibei, and was arrested shortly before the Battle of Shuibei, and no one in his hometown knows about his experience as a soldier. Therefore, after Zhao Yongshuo returned to his hometown, he made up a set of rhetoric: because of the war, the boss's family died, and only one daughter was left, so he followed him because he was helpless.

His rhetoric did not arouse suspicion, so the husband and wife hid safely.

Not to mention the "Cultural Revolution" period, even now, the two sides of the strait have not ended the state of hostility, and if this identity is exposed, it will definitely be a catastrophe for the Zhao family. If it weren't for Yongliang being someone Zhao Chunhua absolutely believed, she wouldn't have revealed half a word, even Wang Yongshui back then.

Because he was well acquainted with the future, Yongliang knew that in three years, the first batch of Kuomintang veterans who would return to the mainland to visit their relatives would set foot on the territory of the motherland, and at that time, the hostility between the two sides of the strait would gradually thaw, and it was not known how many people would be proud of having a relative in Taiwan.

Yongliang said to Zhao Chunhua: "Sister, now that cross-strait relations have loosened somewhat, within three years, the confrontation may end completely. ”

"It would be nice if that were the case. Although I don't have any feelings for the legendary grandfather's family, the old lady has been too bitter over the years. All thoughts are buried in the heart, and cannot be told to anyone. Zhao Chunhua said.

"There's one more problem. Sister, isn't the old man angry?"

"It's been so long, how can you still be angry? After all, it's your own daughter. ”

"Then he's still working as a chef in a public restaurant, isn't it good to let him help Qiuyue?"

"He didn't come, thinking that he was a regular worker, and it would be a pity if he lost it. ”

"The old lady's calligraphy and painting are estimated to have been left behind over the years. Sister, let the old lady and Qiu Yue come to live at home, anyway, it will be more than enough for two more people to live in your house. I prepared the four treasures of the study for her, and I also learned from the old lady in my spare time. Yongliang said.

"How can that be done? Qiu Yue can't be busy alone, and she can't help but take care of it. ”

"Sister, I have an idea, do you think it's okay?" Yongliang said that he wanted to make the Liangen Hotel bigger.

"Yongliang, if you don't say that my sister admires you, your brain is really good. This is great, if the Liang En Hotel does a good job and has its own management model, we can open the hotel to any city in the future. Zhao Chunhua listened to Yongliang's idea, her eyes lit up, and she was amazed by Yongliang's idea.

"Sister, let's just do it. You go tell the old lady and Qiu Yue what I mean, and ask for their opinions. As for me, I'll go to Secretary Zhang in the afternoon to see if he can help. If the official matter is resolved, the follow-up matter will be easier to handle. Yongliang said.

"Okay. It is estimated that the old lady and Qiu Yue have no opinion. Zhao Chunhua said.

The two of them finished their discussion, and they began to act separately.
