Second Marriage in the 1970s - Chapter 84

After three days of opening, the restaurant’s business is very good and income is growing steadily. At the same time, it has also formed a good reputation. In addition to staple food, snacks are not enough to sell.

“Boss, this braised chicken feet in your house is so delicious. Every time I want to eat two more, I don’t have any. Can you make more of it next time?”

“this…”

Li Wangping didn’t know how to respond, and looked at his younger sister-in-law Dong Jiahui.

“Sorry, for the time being, the store can only supply so much. If guests want more, they can book in advance. We will prepare it for the guests the next day.”

Hearing this, the other party’s eyes brightened, he really likes to eat chicken feet, with his appetite, let alone two or three chicken feet, even 20 or 30 chicken feet are no problem.

“Oh? Can still book?”

Jiahui smiled and said, “Of course, open the door to do business, there is no reason for the business to go out.”

The reason for the limited supply is a means of “hunger marketing” in addition to the fact that the weather can’t survive the heat, and it will be wasted if it can’t be sold.

I have to say that most people have a “problem”. What is not available is always the best. If there are too many things, no one is rare, but the same things, once they are not enough to sell, they turn into sweet pastries.

“Unexpectedly, you woman has a good business mind. Okay, then I will book two catties. It happens to be a visitor at home tomorrow, and it will be decent to take it out. I will pick it up at noon tomorrow.”

After speaking, the other party was ready to leave.

“Please wait a minute, you must leave your name and contact information when you book.”

The other party turned his head, his face was not very good-looking, “Why, are you afraid that I will run? What if I didn’t pay the money first?”

He is a fat man, and the flesh on his face is too fierce. Others may be afraid of it, but Jiahui is not afraid of it at all.

She opened her face as usual and said, “If you are willing to pay the deposit, it is fine. I ask you to leave your name and contact information just to ensure your rights. In case someone takes it for you, since you have agreed to book it for you, it will be natural. It must be in your hands.”

Two catties of chicken feet can be sold even if the customer really doesn’t come to pick it up. If you take a 10,000 step back, they can eat it by themselves even if they can’t sell it.

Jiahui’s registration of guests is just to establish an effective system. In case there are more people who booked afterwards, each said with an empty mouth that they really didn’t come to pick them up in the end, which is very detrimental to the operation of the restaurant.

The other party reluctantly listened to Jiahui’s explanation, but she was still unhappy, took her pen and wrote her name and address, and couldn’t help complaining.

“He looks pretty, with such a pungent temperament, I am blinded by this face.”

Jiahui didn’t hear the words in a low voice, but Li Wangping, who was standing next to him, listened.

In fact, Li Wangping was sweating anxiously a long time ago. He is not good at talking. If he encounters this kind of thing, he must be confused, or the younger sister-in-law is good, and he will solve it in a few words.

Zhao Donglin will not be here, and went to the vegetable market with Donghe to buy food. To ensure the quality, the ingredients used in the restaurant are fresh every day. When Zhao Donglin came back, Li Wangping told him about it, and even the other party’s words were never heard.

Zhao Donglin looked very ugly after hearing this. He was a short-term person, especially to Jiahui, his wife was hurt by herself, and he usually couldn’t bear to say a heavy sentence. Today, he was coldly talked about by others.

He took out Jiahui’s bookkeeping book and saw that the person who ordered the chicken feet was named “Ding Guifa”, whose address was near the restaurant.

“Donglin, what are you doing with this?”

Li Wangping was anxious again.

“Don’t do anything, I’ll take a look.”

No matter how simple and honest Li Wangping was, he didn’t believe this. Seeing the older brother’s expression, he wanted to swallow the other party raw.

“Don’t make trouble for others, they are guests after all.”

Zhao Donglin closed the notebook, looked at Li Wangping very seriously, and expressed great disagreement with what he said just now.

“What’s the matter with the guest, the guest can play sideways, and can tease people in words?”

“They just talked a little bit, and they didn’t molest…”

“Why didn’t I molested? Does my daughter-in-law look good? Does her character have anything to do with him?”

Jiahui heard movement in the kitchen and was amused by Zhao Donglin’s last words.

The man’s short-cut look is quite cute.

“Dong Lin, let’s talk about it tomorrow, he just spoke a bit louder and nothing else.”

She sees a lot of such people. After all, not everyone in life knows how to be polite and educated, but obviously Zhao Donglin is not ready to let it go easily.

“I just have to make a rule. We are in business, but what we sell is food, not face. How can we do business in the future?”

Jiahui thinks about it, what he said is quite reasonable, the shop was eventually opened by her sister and brother-in-law, and because of their personalities, it is impossible to say that they were really bullied in the future.

“All right, then you can handle this matter.”

A man is willing to make herself known, Jiahui is not upset, besides, Zhao Donglin is a well-measured person and won’t cause any major incidents.

When Jiahui returned to the kitchen, Zhao Caixia asked anxiously, “Is it all right?”

“It’s okay, Dong Lin is also considering you and brother-in-law. If we are gone, what should someone do if someone makes trouble for you? Now it saves a lot of things to put the rules in place.”

Zhao Caixia nodded with lingering fear. In the past three days, she had already seen how much money she made from doing business, but the money was not so easy to earn. She was really afraid that her husband might not be able to deal with it.

“Sister, don’t worry, it’s not a big deal if we don’t open this store.”

Zhao Caixia just gave birth to a trace of sorrow and “scare” and she shook her head quickly and said, “That’s not enough, don’t worry, I can handle it with your brother-in-law.”

The income of dozens of dollars a day can’t be shrunk even for the sake of money.

At noon the next day, when Ding Gui, the customer who ordered chicken feet, came to pick up the goods, he was stopped by Zhao Donglin.

“This old man, take a step to speak.”

Ding Guifa looked around suspiciously and confirmed that Zhao Donglin was talking to him.

“What are you going to tell me?”

He was almost confused.

“I heard you troubled my wife yesterday?”

Zhao Donglin took out a box of peonies from his pocket and gave one to Ding Guifa.

He is taller than Ding Guifa, although he is not as strong as Ding Guifa, but his eyes are firm, his fingers are slender and strong, and his expression is the same as an army instructor or the school’s most severe instructor. Ding Guifa was overwhelmed by the force of blowing dust.

Ding Guifa’s defense line quickly collapsed. He recalled what happened yesterday, as if his attitude was a little bad, but just a little bit, definitely not “seeking trouble.”

“No, how could I trouble your daughter-in-law? I don’t know who your daughter-in-law is.”

Seeing that Zhao Donglin was unmoved, he stretched out his right finger that was as thick as a bear’s paw and swears, “Really, don’t misunderstand me because of my appearance. I just look fierce and never make trouble or cause trouble. , I’m not to blame, I was born just like this, and it can only be blamed on my mother for not giving birth to me well.”

Zhao Donglin spit out the smoke ring, nodded silently, without speaking.

“It’s really a misunderstanding. You see I eat in your store every day, and I don’t mean to make trouble at all.”

This time, Zhao Donglin finally let go.

“That’s fine, even if we don’t know each other if we don’t fight this time, we welcome you to visit frequently in the future, take care of it more, don’t make trouble. I came out of the army, I don’t mind fighting against people to see who has the hardest fist.”

Ding Guifa watched the clear muscle lines on Zhao Donglin’s arm, and sweat dripped down.

“Okay, I’ve seen a great person today, and I’ll be absolutely respectful in the future and dare not make any mistakes.”

With his sturdy physique and fierce appearance, Ding Guifa often scared the children on the street. Generally, no one would follow him. He didn’t expect that he would be “threatened” in a few words today.

The movements of the two were seen by many “wishful people”. After that, they were passed on from one to another about how the owner of Xiao Li’s restaurant was so powerful and how to beat the strong man with one punch. After that, no one dared to make trouble in the store. Of course, frequent police visits are also one of the reasons.

This weekend Ji Qingming finally had time to rest. Yang Yuqin told Ji Zhenfeng that he would bring Meixiang back for a meal.

Since Xiaoli’s restaurant opened, the Zhao family has spent most of their time helping out in the restaurant. Ji Zhenfeng first came to the restaurant and told Meixiang about it.

“Huh? So fast? I’m not mentally prepared yet.”

“Let you prepare the day lily and it’s cold. My parents are kind people. You can go over to have a meal and talk to them for a few words. If you don’t want to say it, look at me, and I will give you a round. .”

He said it lightly, and Meixiang’s nervousness did not ease a little, but she knew that it was a matter of time before she saw her parents.

“Okay, then you have to help me, you can’t let me get off the stage alone.”

“Don’t worry, you won’t fail to come to Taiwan, you will know when you go, my parents must like you very much.”

His sister-in-law is a very ambitious woman, she is not very gentle in speaking and doing things. His mother endures many things for the sake of family harmony. She never said a serious thing to her sister-in-law. Meixiang has a gentle personality and understands others. The temper and the **** must have come together.

“Go to your house for dinner?”

“Yes, Auntie, my parents have long wanted to see Mei Xiang, and they also said, if you and uncle feel right, we will meet each other.”

Zhang Qiaoer was relieved. If she disagrees with Ji Zhenfeng and Meixiang, she won’t let Ji Zhenfeng come, but the conditions of Ji’s family are better than her own, and she is afraid that her daughters will be wronged.

“Don’t go empty-handed and buy something. Do you have any money? Without me, I will get you some.”

“No, I have money.”

In the past two years, Meixiang saved some money by relying on her sewing skills, and spent part of her going to school. Now she has officially joined the work, so she can’t take money from her parents anymore.

“What are you going to buy?”

“I have not decided yet.”

“Would you like to buy a can of milk powder and bring some fruit?”

“It’s good, but I don’t have a ticket for milk powder.”

“I have one, I will get you one.”

Meixiang took Jiahui’s arm happily, and said coquettishly, “Sister-in-law, it’s hello, you can solve any problem with you.”

Jiahui smiled helplessly, “What can I do? Look at you now, at most as big as Yingbao, who can tell that you are an aunt.”

Mixiang chuckled.

“That’s the sister-in-law who loves me.”

The sister-in-law is also four years older than her. In addition to knowing more than her, she is also better than her in life. This kind of reliability and dependence often makes her forget the age of her sister-in-law.

In the evening, Ji Zhenfeng came to pick up Meixiang. Meixiang was wearing a blue braji dress with a pair of leather sandals on her feet, carrying a beige canvas bag made by her sister-in-law, and set off. The milk powder and fruit were already bought in the afternoon. , Is carrying it in Ji Zhenfeng’s hands.

“How is it, are you still nervous?”

Meixiang has always looked good in Ji Zhenfeng’s eyes, but today’s Meixiang looks more fresh and elegant. On the way, Ji Zhenfeng wanted to hold Meixiang’s hand and was avoided by Meixiang, so he had to touch his nose like a cover.

“I didn’t feel very nervous anymore. When you asked me like this, my heart started pounding again. Did you deliberately remind me to make me nervous?”

Meixiang usually speaks softly and understandingly, so playful and a little bit “unreasonable” Ji Zhenfeng has never seen before, which makes him feel particularly surprised and has a different flavor.

It’s like eating too much sweet apples, and occasionally eating a sour apple is also quite appetizing.

The Ji family lives in the center of the county town, adjacent to the county party committee and the county government. The community environment is quiet and quiet. As soon as you walk in, people’s emotions calm down unconsciously.

Ji Zhenfeng took Meixiang up to the third floor and stopped in front of a door with the word “Fu” posted on it.

When ringing the doorbell, Meixiang took a deep breath and stood behind Ji Zhenfeng. Those few seconds felt extremely long. When a kind and kind voice appeared inside the door saying “coming”, she suddenly felt less nervous. .

With a “squeak”, a woman wearing a white shirt and black pants with a neatly combed head appeared in front of Meixiang, with a scroll-like look on her face, a pair of reading glasses, and her mouth slightly bent, very kind and kind.

“Mom, this is Meixiang.”

Ji Zhenfeng held Meixiang’s shoulder and brought him to Yang Yuqin. Meixiang smiled sweetly at Yang Yuqin and shouted, “Hello, Auntie.”

“Hey, hello, hello, come in and sit down.”

Just as Ji Zhenfeng expected, Yang Yuqin liked Meixiang a lot when she saw Meixiang. This girl had a round face and her eyes were sparkling when she looked at people. Her eyes were clear and clean. She had a taste of innocence and innocence. She taught students for a lifetime, what kind of What kind of character the child is like, Meixiang looks like a pure and kind girl, there is no kind of bad thoughts.

Yang Yuqin took Meixiang’s hand into the house, put her son behind her, Meixiang looked back at Ji Zhenfeng, and Ji Zhenfeng returned a smile that made her feel at ease.

Ji Qingming was writing calligraphy in the study, and walked out of the room when he heard the movement.

Yang Yuqin smiled and said to Meixiang, “This is Zhenfeng’s father.”

“Good uncle.”

“Hey, okay, your name is Meixiang, right, come on, let’s sit on the sofa and talk.”

Ji Qingming is a leader, and he naturally has the temperament of leadership. Mixiang respects him unknowingly. This respect is entirely out of a kind of respect for intellectuals and has nothing to do with his identity background. Ji Qingming can see this. , Yang Yuqin can also see it.

Simplicity, kindness, and gentleness are the first impressions of the two when they first meet Mika.
