The driver lowered his head and ate dumplings for a moment and said, "Let's go to Hanhai Fishery first, there is Green Island Car City nearby, and then ......"

He planned the route very clearly, although Zhang Xuebing was not familiar with the path, but it sounded very reasonable, anyway, it was a chartered car, and he had no opinion, just waiting for him to finish eating and pulling out.

Seeing that the driver's meal is not small, Zhang Xuebing is afraid that one pound of dumplings will not be enough for him to eat, and the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, so he asked Cuihua's sister-in-law to give half a catty.

The driver hurriedly stopped, touched his mouth and said, "Full, full, I think it's delicious and greedy, in fact, I've been full for a long time, her dumplings are too fragrant, let's go, don't delay your business!" ”

As he spoke, he poured the rest of the dumplings into an aluminum alloy lunch box, and saw that there was still some rice and vegetarian stir-fried cabbage in it, thinking that it was his usual lunch.

Cui???????????????? Sister-in-law Hua didn't let Zhang Xuebing settle the bill, but just signed a name in a record book, saying that she would wait too long to settle the bill.

Zhang Xuebing took a look and found that it was all signed by guests, and some were hundreds of yuan, it seems that these are the treatment enjoyed by high-end customers, otherwise ordinary people are reluctant to spend hundreds of dollars on a meal.

This situation is not much in the 21st century, but it is particularly common in the 80s and 90s, both in the cities and rural areas, and even in some villages the commissary can be paid on credit, and it will be settled together during the New Year's Festival, but the credit account is only a little more profitable.

As for those who pay for food on credit, most of them are enterprises and institutions, and they have a lot of money to put on a check, sign and settle the account once a month after eating.

Of course, there are some people who are more domineering, they just don't want to give money when they eat, and there are not a few people who sign and repay their accounts, and they pit many small businesses.

"Walk slowly!" Cuihua's sister-in-law was enthusiastically sent to the door, and before parting, she didn't forget to whisper to Zhang Xuebing, "Come and eat in the evening, I'll let Cuicui make two dishes to meet you!" ”

Is this a media protector or is it still a customer? Zhang Xuebing didn't take a stubble, and hurriedly got into the van.

"Haha, I said boss, Sister-in-law Cuihua is determined to recruit you as a brother-in-law, I think it's okay, you often come here after you have business on Green Island, it's better to get a ......" Gao Fei grinned.

Zhang Xuebing coughed, so frightened that he didn't dare to be nonsense anymore.

After the car started, the driver's chatterbox opened again, "I just ate it, this dumpling is the flavor of Tianjiatun, it must be Tian Cuicui's bag, other families can't make it so delicious!" ”

Zhang Xuebing became interested, "So, this dumpling maker is very famous?" ”

As he spoke, he took out a box of cigarettes and left them on the dashboard, allowing the driver to smoke them casually.

The driver tore open the package and spit out clouds, "If you want to say that this Tian Cuicui is also a hard-working person......"

With his story, Zhang Xuebing learned some things about the Tian family.

It turns out that this person named Tian Cuicui has been a chef since his grandfather, and he belongs to the Jiaodong branch of Lu cuisine, specializing in all kinds of seafood.

In her father's life, there are only two brothers, the eldest brother did not learn the craft, and went out to run a boat, the second is Tian Cuicui's father, who likes crafts since he was a child, and has obtained the true inheritance of the old man.

But ten years ago, he was killed.

Only seven or eight-year-old Tian Cuicui and the old lady are left???????????????? Live with your grandfather.

The old man didn't bring it into the coffin for that bit of craftsmanship, and destroyed the ancestral training of passing on men but not women, and handed them over to Tian Cuicui.

After the reform and opening up, Tian Cuicui also grew up, and opened a small restaurant at home.

It is not easy for the mother and daughter to live, there is no man in the family to support and are often bullied, and those ruffians in the village come to harass the beautiful Tian Cuicui for three days.

My mother couldn't stand the blow anymore, so she made the decision to give Tian Cuicui an honest orphan from the same village.

But before he could get married, the orphan fell ill and died.

In this era, the countryside was superstitious, saying that Tian Cuicui was the life of Kefu and the star of death.

Since then, no one dares to provoke casually, but her marriage is far away, until she is in her early twenties, and she still hasn't recruited a son-in-law, and her mother doesn't want her daughter to marry outside, so she has become an old girl.

The family's restaurant also became crowded because of the reputation of the mourning star, and finally closed down.

It wasn't until her cousin married into a neighboring village and pulled her to build a tavern that she could be considered to have a livelihood.

After listening, Gao Fei exclaimed, "Boss, don't agree to this, although we don't believe in superstition, but if it's true, ......"

Zhang Xuebing couldn't help but think of his sister-in-law Su Wan'er, how similar their circumstances were, but her sister-in-law was even worse, if she hadn't been reborn, she might have died at this moment.

Thinking of this, he felt more sympathy for Tian Cuicui in his heart, and snorted coldly, "These feudal superstitions are the most harmful, how can a good girl become a mourning star and pull a calf!" ”

The driver interjected, "Boss, if you don't believe it, it's best, I think you will stretch out your hand and pull this girl by the hand, just as you are sacrificing yourself!" ”

What is this called, people are good big girls, as long as they leave this land of right and wrong, to a place where no one recognizes, they will not be robbed!

Zhang Xuebing watched the farmland and mountains outside the window gradually being replaced by buildings, and suddenly remembered in his mind that the old man Liu Yiwei was short of apprentices.

If this Tian Cuicui leaves here, Liu Yiwei's chef school may not be a way out.

He was thinking about how to have the opportunity to chat with Tian Cuicui, the speed of the car suddenly slowed down, and the driver pointed to a fiberglass tile building not far away, and said. "Look at ......"

This is the Hanhai Fishery.

Zhang Xuebing looked at the refrigerated container trucks coming in and out of the gates of those huge buildings, and the neon lights hanging on the gates, and said to himself, "It seems that the scale is not small!" ”

The Hanhai fishery is divided into two main parts, one is the wholesale business and the other is the seafood retail market.

All they saw was the wholesale market, and the office building was just behind the market.

Like most trading companies, Hanhai Fishery also has its own purchasing department, which is responsible for reception and out-of-town procurement.

Xue Xiaodi, the manager of the purchasing department, just graduated and joined the work last year, and the reason why he was able to sit in such an important position was because his uncle was in charge of the market in the city, so the president of Hanhai took special care of it.

It is also because of this that Xue Xiaodi walked almost sideways in Hanhai, and no one dared to provoke him.

Those merchants who come to negotiate and be procured have to be carefully served because of the power he holds.

As usual, Xue Xiaodi enjoyed the respectful and envious eyes of the low-level employees in the company, came to the office, and just picked up the tea brewed by the secretary, he heard someone knock on the office door.

Who is this so unruly? He shouted impatiently, "Xiao Yang, go see who you are, let him wait, what's the hurry, he hasn't gone to work yet!" ”

Actually, it's already nine o'clock.

Secretary Xiao Yang hurriedly ran to the door, opened the door and saw two people standing outside, a tall and handsome man who seemed to be as tall as a pine, and the other was a man who looked like a half-cut iron tower.
