"I'm going to bring the beef to the table at Christmas."

At 7:50 p.m., Chang Wei came to the restaurant on time.

The last few tables of guests in the restaurant were also coming to an end, and Liu Xuande called it a day and calculated the day's turnover behind the counter as usual.

Hearing this, Liu Xuande was very happy: "It's long overdue to be on the table." Your cattle are oily and smooth, and they will show good meat at first sight. Beef is an indispensable food in daily life, and we have not had a supply of beef, so we always feel that it is not very satisfying. Guests also often ask. ”

"We've got a piece of it." Chang Wei said with a smile.

"I would have liked to have launched the beef dish earlier, but you didn't do it." Liu Xuande personally went to transport vegetables some morning ago, and saw Chang Wei's cow, which was really good.

He mentioned it at that time, but Chang Wei vetoed it.

"Haven't you grown enough?" Chang Wei said: "Less than thirty-two weeks, it's not cost-effective to kill." ”

Liu Xuande smiled dumbly: "You have to wait for thirty-two weeks?" That's pretty much it. ”

"Isn't it about the same now?" Chang Wei shrugged.

Liu Xuande sighed: "There is still half a month, and it may be snowing soon." It's snowy here in winter. How's your farm ready? ”

"Don't worry." Chang Wei said: "I can't think of this, what farm else do I have?" ”

"The fruit and vegetables..."

"The glass house is already ready." Chang Wei said: "In winter, there will be no shortage of restaurant supplies. ”

"The best."

The two were chatting across the counter, and at the dining table against the wall not far from the counter, a middle-aged white man in his fifties who was polite and polite heard their words and said happily: "Hey, Chang, you're going to serve beef, aren't you?" ”

Chang Wei and Liu Xuande looked over and laughed.

Chang Wei pulled a chair and sat aside: "I do plan to serve beef, Professor Wells." ”

"Did you raise it too? I don't eat what you raised. Professor Wells smiled and said, "Since I've eaten the food that has been left for a long time, I can't swallow the rest anymore." You know, my wife is very unhappy about this. ”

Next to him was a graceful middle-aged woman who spread her hands: "Look at what he said." I wish I could come and stay longer every day. Cooking is not an easy task. ”

"Mrs. Wells."

Chang Wei smiled and said hello to her.

Under the table, a big black dog was lying quietly on his stomach, looking at Chang Wei without blinking.

The Wells were the true elite of St. Edward's. Both were intellectuals, Wells was a professor of music at a university in Falmouth, and his wife was a professor of linguistics.

They lived in St Edward's and took the only train to Falmouth every day.

In their words, it's getting used to it. For decades, I didn't like to drive, but got used to taking the train. Although this mode of transportation is already very backward.

At Mrs. Wells' side was their daughter, Ellie. Ellie was in her early twenties, with a middle-to-high posture, a fair face with a few freckles, and a quiet and shy demeanor, full of bookish air.

"Ellie." Say hello to Ellie, too.

The Wells family was a regular visitor to the long stay, though not every day. But every week, on the weekend, there will be no thunder, and the whole family will come.

"Of course." Chang Wei smiled honestly and said, "You know, our restaurant never uses anything other than my farm. Whether it's vegetables and fruits, or plant seasonings. ”

"That's great." Wells ate well, wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and said, "I believe that your beef is also second to none." Just like these vegetables, fruits, and seafood. ”

"Thank you."

Ellie, who was on the side, had been listening quietly, and then suddenly asked, "Chang, your business is very hot, haven't you thought about expanding the scale?" I mean opening a branch. ”

Chang Wei glanced at Ellie in surprise: "No." Neither Liu nor I thought about it. ”

"Why?" Ellie: "Is it because the farm's output can't meet the needs of scaling up?" ”

"I can't say that." Chang Wei shook his head: "In fact, there is a surplus in the output of the farm. It's that I don't want to. I think St. Edward's is very good, and the money he earns is enough, so there is no need to deliberately do anything in pursuit of profit. ”

Professor Wells nodded frequently, and he praised Chang Wei's attitude towards life: "With the development of the times, money is becoming more and more important in people's lives. Those who earn a million want to earn 10 million, and those who earn 10 million want to make 100 million, and it never ends. Don't you know that life is too short, and ordinary is true. ”

Chang Wei and Wells have a good chat, Wells has seen through the wisdom of life, and Chang Wei is due to Gouzi's personality.

"That's right." Chang Wei thinks so: "Some people think that making a lot of money is to realize the value of life. But I think I will be fuller if I spend more time reading books. ”

It's the truth.

This was originally part of Chang Wei's practice.

Professor Wells particularly agrees: "The soul is full, and even if you live poorly, you can enjoy yourself." Of course, I'm not advocating deliberate poverty. People must first meet their physical needs, and then pursue spiritual perfection. Spiritual fulfillment is more important. ”

Many truths in the world are hidden in ordinary life. It's just a matter of how people find out and how they understand.

Life is originally a practice.

The conversation with Professor Wells was pleasant, and it was not until Mrs. Wells reminded her that it was already nine o'clock, and the two of them suddenly came to their senses.

"Okay, I should go home."

Professor Wells was a little regretful: "I hope there will be more time to communicate next time." Often, although you are not very old, you already have your own life understanding, which is amazing. ”

Chang Wei sent their family to the door, exhaled happily, and said to Liu Xuande beside him: "Professor Wells is an interesting person. ”

Liu Xuande spread his hands.

"I have to go back too." Chang Wei said: "Otherwise, Spot and the killer will have to tear down the house." Lao Liu, before the beef was launched, I didn't come to the restaurant. ”

"Anyway, you're the shopkeeper, whatever you want."

Liu Xuande smiled helplessly.
