The Green Tea’s Crushing Victories in the ’70s

92 cups of green tea

Before opening the gift box from Xie Chengzhou, Tong Xuelu guessed that it contained necklaces or perfume.

She even wondered if she would give herself a small yellow croaker, but when she opened it, there was a yellow stone inside.

The stone is about the size of a thumb. The texture is warm and delicate, the color is bright and thick, and it looks like a good thing.

Tong Jiaxin said strangely: Sister, why would someone give you a quick stone? Although the stone looked strangely beautiful.

Tong Xuelu said: This is not an ordinary stone, this is the best Tianhuang stone, and it is orange peel yellow Tianhuang stone, very precious.

Before she wore the book, one gram of Tianhuang stone was sold for 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. This piece of Tianhuang stone weighed about 100 grams, and in later generations this stone would be worth 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

What a precious gift!

Tong Jiaxin scratched his nose, still not quite understanding how valuable a stone no bigger than a thumb can be.

Tong Xuelu didn't continue to explain to him, and put Tian Huangshi in his room to hide.

After returning, he saw Tong Jiaming looking like he had something to say: Do you have something to tell me?

Tong Jiaming paused and nodded: Well, I will be in the fifth grade when school starts, but I want to skip directly to the first grade.

At the beginning of 1970, the Bureau of Education put forward the concept of revolution in education and shortening of the schooling system. The primary school system was changed from six years to five years, and the junior high school and senior high school were shortened from three years to two years respectively. It would not be changed until 1979. return.

The age of Tong Jiaming's reading is considered very late in later generations, but it is not too late in this era.

He started school at the age of eight, and he is 12 years old this year, just in the fifth grade.

Tong Xuelu said: Skipping a grade is a good thing. If you dare to say that, it means that you have already learned all the fifth grade textbooks, right?

Tong Jiaming nodded: I borrowed his brother's fifth grade textbook from my classmates, and I finished it before the winter vacation.

Tong Jiaxin's eyes widened from the side: Second brother, when did you learn it? Why don't I know?

Tong Jiaming said indifferently: You can study during the recess time during the day, and you can also study after finishing your homework at night.

Tong Jiaxin looked at him like a monster: I really don't understand, how can there be a person like you who loves to learn like you in this world!

In addition to his homework, his second brother also had to tutor him and Tong Mianmian at night. He didn't expect that in such a short time, he would have to race against time to study textbooks that crossed grades. He was so cruel to himself!

Tong Xuelu admired Tong Jiaming's self-discipline: If you have finished studying, I will go to school with you and tell the teacher when school starts.

If you want to skip a grade, you must pass the exam, not if you want to skip a grade, you can skip a grade.

There was a smile in Tong Jiaming's eyes: Thank you, sister.

Tong Xuelu: When you successfully skip the level, you can tell me what reward you want.

Tong Jiaming's eyes brightened: Is everything okay?

Tong Xuelu nodded: Yes.

She treats the three children equally, whoever does well will be rewarded, and whoever does not will be punished.

Tong Jiaxin, who was on the side, saw that his second brother could get the reward, his eyes were full of envy.

Tong Mianmian blinked her big eyes, and also looked envious: Sister, when can Mianmian go to school? Mianmian also wants to skip a grade and be rewarded!

Tong Xuelu rubbed her head: You are still young, wait another two years.

Xiaotuanzi sighed like an adult when he heard the words, hugged his little face and said, After being four years old in this world, I didn't expect that I would still not be able to go to school!

Pfft—

Hearing this, Tong Xuelu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Seeing that even his younger sister is so self-motivated, Tong Jiaxin couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis in his heart.

**

The Spring Festival has passed, and businesses such as factories, supply and marketing cooperatives, and restaurants have reopened.

The news that Tong Xuelu accompanied the returning translators to Yangzhou had already spread in the restaurant.

Being able to entertain foreign guests and accompany them on out-of-province excursions is not something ordinary people can have.

Guo Chunyu: Manager Tong, you are really amazing. Compared with you, my age is useless!

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

Tong Xuelu was only 19 years old when she became a manager of a first-class restaurant and got a certificate as a first-class chef. Now she has the experience of entertaining foreign guests and is highly valued by the leaders of the business department. Manager Tong is simply a talent!

She has achieved such achievements at such a young age, and she will definitely be even more remarkable in the future!

Tong Xuelu said with a smile: Don't underestimate yourselves. Opportunities are for those who are prepared. As long as you keep working hard, who dares to say that you will not be able to be restaurant managers in the future?

When everyone heard this, their faces flushed red, their hearts were surging with excitement, and they were greatly encouraged.

Back then, Manager Tong was just a waiter. At that time, no one thought that she could be the manager of a first-class restaurant.

Although they are not as capable as Manager Tong, if they work harder and have a few more years of qualifications, maybe they will be able to seize the opportunity when it comes.

After stewing the chicken soup, Tong Xuelu continued to vomit her bitterness: Actually, entertaining foreign guests is not as beautiful as you imagined. I have to think about what to make delicious every day. I am afraid that I will neglect the other party if I can't do it well, and I am worried that the leader will not be good. satisfy.

It takes fourteen or five hours to take a train from Beijing to Yangzhou. It was already midnight when we got there that day, and it was raining and snowing outside. Everyone is cooking, you can see that my hands are about to suffer from frostbite!

When everyone heard this, the envy in their hearts suddenly disappeared.

This job is indeed not something ordinary people can do. If you neglect foreign guests, you may be dismissed.

There is also a rare holiday during the Chinese New Year. It is indeed very hard to take such a long train to go to other provinces, and to cook for a large group of people in the middle of the night.

When the purchase came back, Master Lei ran upstairs to the lounge while everyone was not paying attention.

Just now I heard from Manager Tong that you get chilblains from busy hands. Frostbite is a big or small thing. If it is not cured, it will still happen when the weather is cold next year. I have a homemade prescription at home. I will bring it to Manager Tong later?

Tong Xuelu smiled and said: Then thank you, Master Lei. The desserts and Jinshi dishes made by Master Lei are very popular. This year, Master Lei will continue to work hard. It is best to study a few new dishes so that our restaurant can become a restaurant. The most unique hotel in Beijing!

When Master Lei heard this, his face flushed with excitement: Don't worry, Manager Tong, I will definitely study hard and make more delicious dishes!

Tong Xuelu nodded: Our restaurant needs a master like Master Lei, who is motivated and capable. Master Lei works hard, and the future can be expected!

After Master Lei went down, he chopped up the meat as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Not long after Master Lei went down, Master Meng also came up.

Manager Tong, I have the most experience in treating frostbite. I just wrote down this prescription. You can try it later to ensure that the medicine will cure your disease!

Tong Xuelu took Fang Zi, and said with a grateful smile: Thank you, Master Meng, but when there is no one, Master Meng should just call me Xuelu as before. I think I just came to the restaurant, but Meng Master took care of me in many ways, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today.

When Master Meng heard this, he felt relieved: It's better to call Manager Tong, otherwise it's not good to be heard.

Tong Xuelu nodded: Master Meng is still cautious, so let's continue to call Manager Tong. Master Meng is the oldest master in our hotel, and he has seen various scenes. The future development of the hotel depends on Mr. Meng. Master!

Master Meng had been resting for several months because of a broken hand. When he came back, the restaurant had a new chef, and he was upset and worried.

He was worried that his position would be taken away by the newcomer, and now he could finally feel relieved after hearing Tong Xuelu's words.

It's still Tong Xuelu who has a conscience, it's not in vain that I treated her so well back then.

Master Meng patted his chest and assured: Manager Tong thinks highly of me, Lao Meng, so I will definitely live up to Manager Tong's expectations!

Tong Xuelu nodded with a smile: I am relieved to have Master Meng's words, but in a restaurant, the most important thing is not whether the food is good or not, but whether the staff can work together. Look at the time when Liu Dongchang was the manager. , The hotel is divided into two factions, and the incident that happened in the end is all because of the instability of people's hearts!

Master Meng deeply agrees.

At the beginning, he saw all kinds of dislikes in Liu Dongchang, so he would confront him from time to time, and Liu Dongchang also made things difficult for him from time to time, so the restaurant has been open for so long and it has always been a second-class restaurant.

After Master Meng went down, he saw Master Lei who was chopping meat, and smiled at him for the first time.

Seeing this, Master Lei was so frightened that he almost chopped off his hand.

After Master Meng went down, Tong Xuelu opened the military kettle and took a sip of ginger syrup, his mouth and throat suddenly felt hot.

The level of her Duan Shui master is really getting better and better.

But this time she took a trip to Yangzhou, and she may have caught a little cold. She was worried that her aunt would have a stomachache in the next few days, so she started drinking ginger syrup from today.

At noon, Fang Jingyuan rode a bicycle to the restaurant for dinner against the cold wind.

As soon as she walked in, Tong Xuelu saw her glowing red face.

Fang Jingyuan ordered a bowl of haggis soup and vermicelli, but she didn't leave immediately after eating. Instead, she sat aside and waited for Tong Xuelu to work.

Seeing her like this, Tong Xuelu knew that she had something to say: Come with me to the lounge upstairs.

Fang Jingyuan's eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded repeatedly: Okay, I'll come right away.

When she came to the lounge upstairs, she looked left and right with her eyes, and finally said in an envious voice: Although the sparrow is small and complete, I really envy you for having such a lounge.

Tong Xuelu grabbed a handful of melon seeds and put them on the table, knocking them and asked, Tell me, what do you want to say to me?

Fang Jingyuan twisted her body, her cheeks suddenly turned red.

Tong Xuelu raised her eyebrows: Could you be the one to talk to?

Fang Jingyuan stared at her with wide eyes: How do you know?

My guess.

Fang Jingyuan covered her face and smiled like a silly girl: You guessed it, I do have someone to talk to.

Tong Xuelu: Congratulations, the other party must be very good-looking, right?

Fang Jingyuan looked at her again with admiration: Xue Lu, you are amazing! You are right again, Comrade Xiang is very good-looking, you don't know, his skin is whiter than mine, and his fingers are long. It's so pretty!

Ever since the last time she disliked that her blind date looked like a potato, Tong Xuelu knew that she was a face control just like herself.

What does the other party do? Do you know the bottom line?

Fang Jingyuan nodded, That man is the son of my second aunt's colleague's cousin. He works in the Education Bureau. Although he is only a secretary now, he is very capable!

Tong Xuelu nodded: Appearance and ability are second, and the most important thing is character. Before you get married, you have to open your eyes to see clearly.

People in this era will get married soon after a blind date, and they don't know each other's character and character at all, and they all listen to the introduction.

It was only after getting married that I found out that the other person's character was not good or that the two people's personalities were not compatible, but it was too late to regret it, so I could only make do with it, anyway, let's make do with it, decades passed.

Fang Jingyuan's eyes sparkled: He has a very good personality and treats me very well. The first time I met him, I thought he was another ugly monster. I ate a lot of sweet potatoes and he didn't mind when I farted on him afterwards. , do you think his character is very good?

Tong Xuelu: ...

She doesn't know if the other party is a good character, but she knows Fang Jingyuan's behavior is very mentally handicapped.

It's really rare that the man didn't dislike her.

**

At this moment, there was another person who was also blushing.

Tong Zhenzhen looked at the man in front of him, and his heart beat faster: Brother Yan, I'm glad to finally meet you!

Yan Yongan looked at her sharply: Comrade Tong Zhenzhen, how do you know about my father?

The last time I received a letter from Tong Zhenzhen from my nephew Yan Ming, which stated the reason why his father was pulled down from the position of Minister of the Revolutionary Committee.

The reason why his father was pulled down was that no one in the family knew about it. His father only told him before his death, and he only knew about it.

At that time, he was shocked by the contents of the letter, and subconsciously wanted to go to the farm to find her.

It's just that he calmed down as soon as he went out and was blown by the wind. He asked people to check on Tong Zhenzhen privately and let people stare at her.

It wasn't until two days ago that another thing mentioned in the letter was predicted to be successful again, that he couldn't wait to rush over.

This time I came to find her just to ask what happened.

Tong Zhenzhen took a look outside and lowered his voice after making sure there was no one there, Does Brother Yan believe in ghosts and gods?

Yan Yongan looked at her, noncommittal.

Tong Zhenzhen was a little flustered by his staring, but he still mustered up his courage and said, If I tell Brother Yan that I have the ability to foretell and know what will happen in the future, will Brother Yan believe me?

The corner of Yan Yongan's mouth twitched: Who else knows that you have such ability?

Tong Zhenzhen shook his head: No, I will only tell Brother Yan.

Yan Yongan smiled: Why tell me, what do you want from me?

Tong Zhenzhen said: Brother Yan is a capable man, but unfortunately, his luck is a bit off. If I help Brother Yan, Brother Yan will definitely become a master, but I have a request.

explain.

Tong Zhenzhen looked at him and said word by word: You must marry me!

In fact, before Yan Ming came to see her, she didn't know Yan Yong'an at all.

Yan Ming was her junior high school classmate, and had a good impression of her before she was reborn, but because the two families were not in the same household, they lost contact after graduation.

Unexpectedly, he would come to visit her on the farm, and she extracted a lot of useful information from him.

The most useful one is that Yan Ming has a little uncle who is the principal of No. 1 Middle School. This little uncle is only fifteen years older than him, but he has been very capable since he was a child.

If Mr. Yan hadn't been caught by Su Yueshen's father at the beginning, with Yan Yong'an's ability and ability, the position of deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee would definitely be in his pocket.

After hearing the news that day, she immediately had this decision in her mind.

She wants to marry Yan Yongan as his wife!

She was locked up on a farm, and even if she went out, she couldn't find a good unit or a good partner, although she could do business after the reform and opening up.

It's just that in her previous life, she was beaten to death by that bastard when she was less than twenty-two years old. She has never done business, and besides, it is so tiring to do business.

She doesn't want to live so tired, she just wants to be a master.

The best way is to marry a capable man.

But a man like Yan Yong'an would definitely not marry her, so after thinking about it, she decided to tell him what she knew about the future by letter.

As for why she chose Yan Yongan, it was because in her previous life, Yan Yongan climbed up by her own ability, but it took many years.

With her help, Yan Yong'an would be able to climb to the position of master at a faster speed, and she is confident in helping him climb even higher.

Yan Yongan laughed: Do you know that I am fifteen years older than you?

Tong Zhenzhen nodded: I know, I just like mature and attractive men!

Yan Yongan: Then do you know that I already have a wife and children?

Tong Zhenzhen nodded again: You can divorce the other party. As for your children, I will treat them as my own children!

Yan Yongan: Tell me some more things, after verification, I will come and pick you up.

Yan Yongan stayed in Tong Zhenzhen's dormitory for half an hour before leaving.

Tong Zhenzhen had a sure-fire smile on her mouth, and she didn't go back to her room until Yan Yongan's figure completely disappeared.

base.

Two love vegetable chickens and one rhubarb chicken have dinner together at the base.

Huang Qimin: Like home, the method I taught you that day is very effective, right?

Wen Rugui was wearing a black turtleneck sweater today, and he looked even more handsome.

He said hmm, then put down his chopsticks and said, I have something else I want to ask you.

Huang Qimin looked proud: Say.

Wen Rugui: How did you propose to your partner?

Snapped!

As soon as these words came out, the chopsticks in Zhou Yan's hand fell to the ground in fright.

His eyes were as wide as copper bells: Rugui, you proposed marriage? Why are you so fast?

A blush appeared on Wen Rugui's fair face: Well, I think she is the person I want to spend my whole life with, so I want to propose to her early.

The two of them kissed and stayed in the same room for two or three days. He must be responsible for her.

But even if there is no such thing, he still wants to be with her forever.

Rugui, why are you in such a hurry? You have only known each other for how long, and your partner is not very old, so she probably won't agree to you!

Zhou Yan was in a hurry.

Before he could hold the hand of his girlfriend, Wen Rugui actually proposed to marry him, which made him lose face!

Huang Qimin glared at him: Zhou Laxi, what are you doing? Rugui wants to get married, what are you talking about here?

After finishing speaking, he asked Wen Rugui to find him in the dormitory after get off work, and he wanted to teach him all his life experience.
