Siheyuan: Becoming a cadre after graduating from technical secondary school

As for Sha Zhu, he is indeed the ceiling of culinary skills in the original drama. Since inviting him over, Yan Jiecheng's small restaurant business has been getting better and better.

That day, Yan Jiecheng ran over after get off work and was surprised to see the bustling scene in his own restaurant with people rushing around.

Yan Jiecheng was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. While greeting regular customers, he ran to the front desk and said excitedly to his wife: "Look at the flow of people at our restaurant. It's really popular!"

Yu Li smiled and said, "I told you, as long as the food is good, there will be no shortage of people coming. This is the Forbidden City, the imperial city, so there will be no shortage of people who want to eat.

You know what, this idiot Zhu is really good at what he does. No wonder he was able to stay in the steel mill for so many years with his big mouth. "

"Hey, see, Third Auntie, as long as I help, your son's restaurant business will be great."

Sha Zhu boasted proudly to the three aunties who were cleaning up the garbage nearby, then stretched and began to take off his work clothes.

After he had cleaned himself up, he shouted to the fat apprentice he brought from the steel mill, "Have you saved the food I asked you to save?"

"Look, I've prepared it for you early in the morning."

The fat man happily took out two bags from his side, which contained several stacked iron lunch boxes.

Sha Zhu took the bag and said, "I don't think there are many people here now, so I'll leave now. Fatty, you stay in the kitchen and wait until everything is ready before leaving."

Seeing Sha Zhu leaving with so many dishes, the third aunt's eyes were full of envy and dissatisfaction, but she also knew that she had no right to say anything to Sha Zhu.

As soon as Sha Zhu left, Yu Li entered the kitchen. When she learned that Sha Zhu had left before all the guests left, her face immediately turned ugly.

The fat man observed his master's expression and hurriedly smiled to explain for his master: "Manager Yu, you see, the contract we signed did not mention the time to get off work. Besides, I am still here. As long as it does not delay things, it is not a big deal. It is not a big deal."

Yu Li rolled her eyes and ordered, "Fatty, stay for a while after get off work. I want to talk to you about something."

The fat man immediately replied: "Okay, okay, you can tell me what to do."

Yu Li then nodded and left expressionlessly.

,,,,,,

As soon as Yu Li returned to the front desk, she found that Yan Jiecheng, who was supposed to be watching the front desk for her, was missing. She looked around and found her man standing at the door of the store, touching his chin with his hand, staring blankly into the distance.

Yu Li walked up to him, patted his shoulder hard, and asked, "What are you doing? What if someone comes to pay the bill now?"

Yan Jiecheng came to his senses but was not angry. He pointed to the opposite side and asked, "Wife, what do you think this 'Jingli Lao' is for?"

Yu Li looked in the direction he pointed and was immediately startled.

She also discovered that the two-story building opposite, which originally belonged to a department store, had quietly changed dramatically.

The original walls of the two-story building have been replaced with red tiles, reflecting dazzling light in the sun.

The red signboard has five yellow characters with golden glow, "Jingli Lao Hotpot" written in a flamboyant style, and a small line of white characters at the bottom:

The fragrance can be smelled from three hundred miles away, and you will find it at Jingli Lao.

Below the sign is a newly painted gate with a red carpet at the entrance. On both sides of the gate, there are two tall and decent-looking beauties in cheongsam serving as welcome guests.

As for what's inside, you can't see it.

"My goodness!"

Yu Li's heart was shrouded in a shadow. Although the dishes were different, she didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse to have such a restaurant opened right at her doorstep.

"No, I have to go and see."

Yu Li gave Yan Jiecheng a few instructions, changed into a coat, and walked towards the other side.

Before she even reached the door, she heard two beautiful women in cheongsams shouting in unison, "Welcome to Jingli Lao."

One of the beauties came forward and said apologetically to Li: "I'm sorry, comrade, our store hasn't opened yet. If you want to come and eat hot pot, you need to wait a few more days."

Yu Li nodded and was about to leave disappointed when she suddenly caught sight of someone in the store. Her eyes lit up immediately and she pointed at that person and said, "That's my friend. I'm here to see her."

At this time, the people in the store also saw Yu Li outside, hesitated for a moment, and waved at her.

Seeing this, the cheongsam beauty obediently let Yu Li into the store.

As soon as Yu Li entered, she greeted them enthusiastically: "Xiao Meng, have you eaten yet?"

Wang Xiaomeng thought, are we that familiar with each other? But on the surface, she still smiled and said, "Sister Yu Li, I've eaten. Is your store not busy now?"

"What are you busy with? Small businesses just eat and leave."

Yu Li replied perfunctorily, and immediately asked the question in her mind: "Sister Xiaomeng, is this store opened by Director Lin of your family?"

"No." Wang Xiaomeng answered seriously, "I resigned from my job. I felt that I had nothing to do every day except taking care of the children. It happened that my husband's father retired and had nothing to do, so we thought about opening a hot pot restaurant. It can also let the elderly make use of their remaining energy and avoid getting sick from working. It has little to do with my wife."

"Oh, haha, haha."

Yu Li opened her mouth, as if someone had pressed a pressure point on her mute point, but she didn't know what to say.

She didn't believe what Wang Xiaomeng said at all, but it had nothing to do with her. What she was really worried about was whether this hot pot restaurant would steal her business.

Wang Xiaomeng seemed to be able to read minds. She smiled and said, "Sister Yu Li, although our two stores are close to each other, our customer groups are different, so we don't influence each other that much. Otherwise, we wouldn't have chosen this location. If you're really worried, you can come and see for yourself when the time comes."
