Chapter 23: Worrying Far and Worrying
Yanghu Town Branch, Back Kitchen, Wu Fan is as busy as ever. www.biquge.info he should have been home in the afternoon this weekend. But in order to be busy with tomorrow's soup and sauce, he can only stay until ten o'clock.
As for the matter of sending a message to the family, it was handed over to Zhu Qiancheng as a matter of course. Otherwise, there are so many spicy meals, so he will be invited to eat them in vain.
Mu Qingwan, who was behind him, already had a tacit understanding.
"Wu Fan, I'm just wondering. Every time you make soup and sauce, I see it for real. But as soon as I get home, I do it myself, and it's not like you. My mom waited for my performance several times with great interest, but in the end she was disappointed. ”
Wu Fan enjoyed the role of the chef and said, "Teacher Mu, that can only mean that you don't have this talent." ”
Mu Qingwan's apricot eyes suddenly widened.
Wu Fan hurriedly explained: "Your temperament belongs to an elegant and perfect woman at first glance. This kitchen belongs to the territory of the wife of the chaff, and it has nothing to do with you. Whoever marries you home does not expect you to cook well. ”
Mu Qingwan's face turned a little pale, and the topic changed and said: "But this stunt of boiling soup and making sauce, I really have to find someone to take over quickly." Otherwise, when it comes to the winter vacation, or you have something temporary, our stores will all be blind. Besides, even if you can spare this time, the preparation of the next five stores will not be something that you alone will be able to sustain for long. ”
Wu Fan nodded and said, "I've already started looking for candidates, but our store has just opened, and in terms of personnel loyalty, we must be cautious." After all, this stunt can be regarded as a trade secret that we can use at will. If you don't treat it carefully, you can't do it. ”
Mu Qingwan thought for a moment and said, "I heard that Aunt Cui's job prospects are unclear, so you can simply teach her the craft, so we don't have to worry about loyalty." ”
"Not yet, I can't tell them about this store when I come here; Second, even if it is passed on to my mother, I have to teach it from scratch. To be honest, my mother's talent is all in making clothes. When it comes to cooking, it's just a mediocre level. ”
Thinking of this, Wu Fan clapped his hands and said: "This matter still needs to be considered in the long run, from now on, I will pay attention to the right person." ”
Mu Qingwan put her mind at ease and began to talk about the specific affairs of the past two days.
"The matter of registering a trademark has been run down yesterday. This morning, the locations of the two branches of Ning'an No. 2 Middle School and Anling No. 3 Middle School have been decided, and the stores have also been rented......"
“…… Yesterday I settled the last renovation project with Uncle Wu, and when I looked for him this afternoon, he came quickly. However, Uncle Wu's work is reassuring, and the decoration of these two branches is directly contracted to him, and I also save a lot of worry. ”
Listening to Mu Qingwan's enthusiastic words to the end, Wu Fan said directly: "Teacher Mu, I don't worry about you doing things." ”
Mu Qingwan was stunned, and was about to kick: "You have really become the shopkeeper!" By the way, how was today's exam? You promised me that I would take care of these things for you, and you had to improve your academic performance. ”
Wu Fan said confidently: "Teacher Mu, you can rest assured." The results will be available in three days, and we will wait and see. Even the final exams of this semester, I have thought about it. This time, I want to do a big vote, not only to return to the peak of Yanghu Middle School, but also to enter the top of the municipal rankings! ”
The pride of the words suddenly came to life, and Mu Qingwan smiled and groaned, and her heart was very relieved. After listening, he took out a card and said: "This is my other 10,000 yuan, I always heard that you want to earn 10,000 yuan in a month, I think it must be of great use, take it." ”
Wu Fan opened his mouth and found that it was inconvenient to explain anything, so he simply accepted it. Then he pointed to the thermos bucket and a small portion of sauce on the countertop and said, "Take this back, and count me as honoring Aunt Wen for you." ”
Mu Qingwan looked forward to it: "You have a heart." ”
When I got home, it was late at night. But Wu Fan was surprised to find that his parents not only did not rest, but were shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Putting down the schoolbag, Wu Fan couldn't help but yawn.
Cui Yuhua hurriedly wiped away a handful of tears, couldn't hide his choked hoarse voice and said, "Hungry, I'll give you a hot meal." ”
Wu Fan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stopped: "No need Mom, I've already eaten." What's wrong with you? Why did you cry again? ”
Cui Yuhua's body just now, continued to sit down and wipe away tears.
Wu Guangyao sighed and said, "Your mother has just been laid off and unemployed, and she hasn't recovered yet." I've been persuading for a long time, so you can persuade too. ”
Wu Fan said nonchalantly: "Mom, don't cry, I think it's a big deal." After speaking, he turned his head and asked his father, "Dad, is our family short of money to spend now?" ”
Wu Guangyao lit a cigarette and said: "There is no shortage of it, I took a small job a few days ago, and in a few days, I earned hundreds of yuan." Today, people have found me again, and it is estimated that it is not a big problem to earn a few hundred yuan for this project. It's a lot better than the bowl of rice in the construction team......"
"So I'm not so worried about being laid off and unemployed. But your mother doesn't think so, and it's useless to persuade her. She also doesn't want to think about the fact that the garment factory has not paid wages for more than a year, what is the difference between unemployment and unemployment? ”
Wu Fan nodded, and turned to his mother: "Mom, I think what Dad said makes sense." A man dies, but a tree lives. Isn't it a big deal to lose an unpaid job? Look at my dad, he doesn't have to worry about the way out, and he can make more money. My studies are gradually improving, and it is not a problem to be admitted to Ning'an Middle School. The rest is up to you, you can't hold us back. ”
Cui Yuhua gradually stopped crying, but there was still a desperate face on his face.
Wu Fan poured a glass of water, handed it to his mother, and changed the topic: "By the way, Mom, last time you helped a neighbor and friend's down jacket, how was the response?" Anyway, when I got to school, many of my classmates envied me. ”
Cui Yuhua wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "The reaction is okay." ”
Wu Fan hit the railway while it was hot: "Then the question I discussed with you last time, how to make the down jacket not run down, you said that you have to find a way from the fabric and the way of wiring." What did you think about it? ”
Speaking of professional problems, Cui Yuhua was obviously distracted from sadness, and carefully explained the progress of the matter: "I have discussed a lot with your aunts and aunts, and I want to make fabrics that do not run down, but there is no one in China at present." It may be necessary to look for samples from woven fabrics imported from abroad. As for the way of wiring, it is much more flexible, and it is completely possible to redesign the wiring method according to the elements of fashion and popularity. You can look good and walk anywhere......"
Wu Fan clapped his palms and said, "That's right, Mom, I think there is a lot to be done in this direction." What do you think, Dad? ”
Wu Guangyao was a little confused when he heard this, but in short, he wanted to cooperate with his son, so he nodded and said, "I'll see it." ”
Cui Yuhua's eyes suddenly brightened: "Is it really feasible?" ”
