The hot dishes were served one after another, and Li Tang suddenly found that every time the dishes were served, it was a different aunt, except for the one who ran the hall, and even the one who washed the dishes came, everyone was peeking at Jiang Qinqin, and then gave him a meaningful look. Especially Aunt Wang, her eyes looking at Jiang Qinqin were extremely fanatical, and Li Tang was afraid that she would pounce if she was not careful.

Fortunately, the aunts were quite restrained, and they didn't bother too much after serving, at most they stayed for a while by pouring a glass of wine or changing a bone plate or something.

These aunts basically grew up watching Li Tang, they are all ordinary aunts in the catering service industry of the supply and marketing cooperative, sometimes they are quite cute, but they are really annoying when they hate it.

Li Tang estimated that his father had taken care of him in advance, otherwise he might have already surrounded Jiang Qinqin to sign an autograph or take a group photo at this time, and he would have to ask all kinds of gossip.

"Li Tang, there are too many dishes, tell them not to serve them."

Unconsciously on a large table of dishes, water town, the main river fresh, there are fried shrimp, fried eel, steamed river eel, squirrel mandarin fish, hairy crab fried rice cake, are their own restaurant can get their hands on hard dishes. In addition, there are mushroom gluten pot, celery lily, buckle three silks, etc., pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables.

Jiang Qinqin was dizzying.

But while talking, a steaming assorted casserole was served, which was rich in things, including egg dumplings, meatballs, meat skins, fried fish, bacon meat, quail eggs, river shrimp, shutter knots, winter bamboo shoots, and so on.

"Okay, this is the last course, hurry up and eat it while it's hot!"

Li Tang also enthusiastically helped each of them scoop a bowl.

To be honest, this meal is a real waste, and many dishes are just tasted. But if it's not rich, how can you show enthusiasm, Li Tang wants face, Lao Li loves face more, and he definitely wants to help his son set up a stage.

The bayberry wine is soaked in the most common 52-degree red panda, because of the addition of rock sugar, which neutralizes the acidity of the bayberry and the spicy taste of the liquor. Jiang Qinqin drank a lot unconsciously, she was really a little drunk today, her red face was cute, and she couldn't help but pinch it when she looked at it.

"Hey, no, I can't eat it."

Jiang Qinqin leaned on the back of the chair, looked at Li Tang with a confused look in her eyes, and said, "Today is the fullest and most comfortable meal I have eaten since I arrived in Shanghai. It's over, and this time it's definitely going to grow two more pounds of meat. ”

Jiang Qinqin had already taken off the bloated down jacket and wore a pure white sweater on her upper body, outlining her graceful figure. Li Tang's gaze turned on her, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of growing two catties of meat, let's continue to eat it in the evening, there are many other dishes on my menu." It's almost the New Year, let's grow him five catties of meat first. ”

"Get out!"

Jiang Qinqin snorted, and then shook her head regretfully: "Not today, we booked a flight at five o'clock, and it's almost time to leave in a while." ”

She raised her wrist to look at the time, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and it was far away from Pudong Airport.

"It's okay, I'll take a sip of tea in a while, take it a little bit, and I'll take you to the airport."

Jiang Qinqin thought that she still had to take the broken car, so she hurriedly said: "Don't bother, let's just take a taxi." Besides, you're all drinking. ”

Xiao Tang also followed: "Yes, Brother Li, let's go by ourselves." ”

She didn't want to be thrown away in a car without seats like cargo.

Li Tang smiled: "Don't worry, I won't drive if I'm drinking." I'll call you a car, drop you off at the airport, and then come back with the car. ”

Although there is nothing wrong with letting them take a taxi to the airport by themselves, after all, they have to treat themselves to dinner today, and they must be responsible for their safety. As the saying goes: if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens.

The two girls breathed a sigh of relief at this time, Jiang Qinqin was a little reluctant, and after a little silence, she said, "That...... Then bother you. ”

It was more than an hour's drive from his hometown to Pudong Airport, and just after four o'clock in the afternoon, the Santana station wagon rented by Li Tang was parked steadily on the side of the road at the Pudong Airport delivery gate.

Li Tang got out of the car to help them move the suitcases down, and said goodbye to Jiang Qinqin: "It's not good to park here, I won't send you in, I'll call you when I arrive." ”

To be honest, at the beginning, Jiang Qinqin asked Li Tang to invite guests to dinner, and insisted on going to his restaurant to eat, somewhat holding a bit of difficulty and revenge, but at this time she felt that the other party cared about her, this was the first time she had this feeling after breaking up, and her soft heart was touched by this. Especially when I drank some wine at noon, bayberry was full of energy, and under the stimulation of alcohol, her emotions were more sensitive.

Just when Li Tang said goodbye to her with a smile, she opened her arms and hugged each other.

Nephrite was warm and fragrant, Li Tang was stunned at first, but immediately responded and took her into his arms.

This hug lasted for about ten seconds before Jiang Qinqin said in his ear: "Thank you!" ”

Then he let go of his arms, but the guy was still holding him tightly.

Even though Jiang Qinqin felt it, she couldn't help but feel hot on her face at this time, and could only whisper: "Let go!" ”

As soon as her words fell, she felt the two powerful arms that wrapped around her tighten, making her body closer and closer to each other, and just as she was ashamed, she suddenly let go.

Jiang Qinqin took a step back, and saw that the man in front of him actually had a look of reluctance on his face, and the words on his lips were a little speechless, but he just glanced at him and said angrily: "Goodbye." ”

Turn around and go.

Li Tang shouted at her back: "Don't forget to make a phone call on the ground!" ”

Jiang Qinqin heard the voice behind her, and her little face, which was still flat just now, actually smiled.

Xiao Tang, the assistant on the side, was dumbfounded when he saw the scene just now, until he saw Jiang Qinqin walking towards the airport hall, so he hurriedly followed with two large suitcases.

……

Seeing that the aunts were working hard to clean, Li Tang felt embarrassed to look at it, so he picked up a cloth to help wipe the glass door.

"Little boss, don't move, I'll come, I'll come."

As soon as he wiped it twice, Aunt Wang ran over and snatched the cloth from his hand, and said with a smile: "You just sit and eat tea, we can do this little work." ”

In the past two years, everyone's income has been high, and it has become popular to spend the New Year in restaurants, saving worry and effort. Therefore, in the past two years, the business of slightly higher-grade hotels on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve is very hot, especially the private room is often difficult to find.

It stands to reason that his own restaurant is also a bit of a grade in the city, but Lao Li has always adhered to the previous way of resting, that is, the business is closed on the twenty-ninth day, cleaned up on the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and then opened on the eighth day of the new year.

Why don't you do a good business for Mao to put Chinese New Year's Eve?

In Lao Li's words, others use outsiders, we use locals, and outsiders don't go back for the New Year in order to make money, but the locals want to celebrate the New Year. Forget it, Tongdian can't make a lot of money, everyone is too peaceful, and have a good New Year.

The cleaning on the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve is spontaneous, but few people are absent every year, unless there is something at home, because Lao Li will give red envelopes to every employee who spontaneously comes to help with the cleaning. The money is not much, in previous years it was 100 yuan, but this year the business has risen to 200. Of course, the year-end bonus has been issued in advance.

Aunt Wang has been very attentive to Li Tang these days, because the last time Jiang Qinqin came over, Li Tang not only helped her get Jiang Qinqin's autograph, but also specially called her up to take a photo with Jiang Qinqin.

Aunt Wang was as happy as a little girl at that time, so don't underestimate the old aunt's fanaticism for chasing stars.

With the efforts of more than a dozen aunts, in less than half a day, the entire hotel, including the room on the third floor, was cleaned.

When it was almost time to finish work, Lao Li, who went out early in the morning, came back with a small bread. After half a year of hard work, Lao Li and Aunt Xiao finally made substantial progress.

Li Tang also underestimated the receptivity of the post-80s little girl. It is said that Aunt Xiao's daughter who went to a key high school not only rejected Lao Li, an amiable and capable uncle, but also helped to match her mother with Lao Li.

Hey, let's say that Chubby is also a post-80s generation, why is the gap so big? Most likely, it is because of the lack of reading, and it is said that reading is reasonable. A little girl can be admitted to a key high school, and she may read more than Chubby, so she is more sensible.

It turned out that Lao Li planned to take the two of them to the hotel this year to celebrate the New Year together, but Aunt Xiao said that as long as she didn't remarry for a day, she would still be in the house of her deceased husband, and she would take her daughter to mourn her deceased husband during the New Year, which was inconvenient to come.

So Lao Li brought the semi-finished ingredients prepared the next day to Aunt Xiao early this morning, and of course, he also gave the little girl a big red envelope.

Li Tang, as a son, is quite supportive of this, after all, Lao Li is fifty-two years old, and he is about to turn fifty. Aunt Xiao is in her early forties, her charm still exists, and she can still let Lao Li Bai get a daughter, first of all, you have to pay, otherwise why should people follow you, are you good?

When people reach middle age, everyone is very realistic, and without a certain economic foundation, no matter how good a person is, it is useless.

At noon, the two of them simply ate a bite, and Lao Li began to prepare for this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Although there are two grandfathers in the family, they still have to celebrate the New Year for their ancestors, and they can't be sloppy.

The custom on their side is that before eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, they must first celebrate the New Year for their ancestors and deceased relatives.

Lao Li is a good cook, sometimes the restaurant business is good, the kitchen is too busy, he will also cook himself.

In fact, Lao Li has always been a very legendary existence in Li Tang's mind, when he was young, he relied on his height and bravery, and soon became the leader of the educated youth. And the brain is active, and I can always find a way to survive in those hard years.

Back then, he was able to catch up with a delicate capitalist lady and hug the beauty, which was somewhat of "Pan Donkey Deng Xiaoxian". Of course, this is relatively speaking, everyone was a hard-working educated youth at that time, and only he had a good life, so he showed that he could come.

And the latter old man with children can still earn in this family business, which is enough to kill 90% of his peers in seconds.

On the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole old city is very quiet, except for a few large restaurants on the street, most of the shops are closed, there are not many cars on the road, and occasionally there are sporadic firecrackers in a corner.

In his own restaurant, Lao Li was busy in the kitchen downstairs, Li Tang wanted to help, but Lao Li thought he was clumsy, and the more he helped, he drove him upstairs.

Sitting on the balcony outside the living room, the enclosed balcony is like a small sun room, even though the sun sets in the west, it still maintains a certain temperature.

Li Tang flipped through the old set of "Smiling Proud Jianghu". Reading requires patience, especially a book that has been read countless times and has long lost its freshness, and even some passages can be memorized.

Sometimes Li Tang will feel annoyed and can't look at it, but he must force himself to watch it, and he can't let inertia take over. If you look at it like this, you can see it again. It's only when you really look into it, and every time you look at it, you find that there is something new every time.

When I used to read books, I always looked at the flowers, but in fact, this is not really reading. The real reading needs to be tasted slowly, so that you can absorb the mystery of the book.

Just as he saw Lin Pingzhi about to practice the evil sword technique and prepare to leave the palace, the mobile phone placed on the coffee table next to him made a "buzzing" vibration sound.

He picked up his mobile phone, glanced at the caller ID, and suddenly showed a smile on his face, and answered the phone: "Hey, Qinqin......"
