As soon as Tian Shao and Tan Yue entered the room, they saw Mr. Tan sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper. Because he had presbyopia and could not see clearly, he wore black-rimmed glasses.
Tian Shao smiled and shouted: "Dad..."
Mr. Tan was so absorbed in reading the newspaper that he didn't notice the two people coming. When he raised his head and saw the young couple, a smile appeared on his face: "Are you here?"
Tian Shao put the pastries next to him and said with a smile: "Dad, I heard from my sister-in-law that you like red date cakes and osmanthus cakes, so I bought some. There are still warm ones, so you can eat some while they are hot."
Mr. Tan happily picked up a piece of red date cake and nodded repeatedly after taking two bites. This was made by the chef he liked, and the third daughter-in-law was very interested.
Tan Yue saw that the old man had eaten a piece, so he wrapped the red date cake and put it in the cupboard. According to the advice of the old doctor who took care of him, you can eat cakes that are easy to melt, but not too much.
Seeing him like this, the old man turned his head in disgust, ate another piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and said to Tian Shao, "Come on, come with me to the study. Let's have a good chat."
Tian Shao called Tan Yue, and then Tan Yue helped the old man go upstairs.
Entering the study, Mr. Tan took two pieces of information from the drawer and handed them to her, saying: "These are the two people I asked Uncle Liao to select, and they meet your requirements. If you go to them, they will definitely be willing to do this.
of.."
Tian Shao took the information and started reading it. The two people were a man and a woman. The man's name was Xue Dehou. He was fifty-one years old and a teacher. He had supported many students in the past and was now retired at home. The woman's name was Ji Yimeng.
He is thirty-two years old and is an orphan. He later stayed in the orphanage to work and treated the orphans as his own.
These two people did what Tian Shao asked for, and it was rare that the old man found them. Tian Shao smiled and said: "I will find a time to find them and have a good talk with them."
Mr. Tan nodded and asked about her trip to Hong Kong City again.
Tian Shao only talked about the progress of the comic company and her work. As for buying a billion-dollar stock and making a fortune from short selling, she did not say anything.
Mr. Tan nodded and then asked: "Xiao Shao, the Hong Kong dollar has been falling from three years ago to now. What do you think about this?"
Tian Shao thought about it in his mind and said: "I have always paid attention to current affairs and economy in Hong Kong. I think there are two reasons why the Hong Kong dollar will fall. One is that the future is unclear, and many rich and middle-class people have immigrated out of fear.
This has caused a large amount of money to leave the port city; secondly, excessive growth in currency and credit has led to an expansion of the trade deficit and inflation; thirdly, many financiers will take advantage of this to speculate."
After listening to what she said, Mr. Tan asked: "What do you mean, the Hong Kong dollar will continue to depreciate?"
Tian Shao nodded: "Yes, and it will last for a while. But I have confidence in Hong Kong City. As long as we cross this threshold, the economy will recover quickly. No, it should be better than before."
Mr. Tan nodded and talked about Shaohua Comics Company again: "I heard that Xing Shaohui wants to go public. If you don't want to, tell me the reason."
Tian Shao repeated what he said to Xing Shaohui before: "Shaohua Comics Company will definitely go public, but the current market is not good, and we must wait until the economy recovers."
"Then how long do you think it will take to recover?"
Tian Shao smiled bitterly and said: "Dad, aren't you making things difficult for me? I'm not a god. I can do calculations. How can I know when the Hong Kong city's economy will recover?"
Even if he knew, he would never say it because he thinks his life is too long.
After chatting for about an hour, Tan Yue knocked on the door, saying that it was time for him to take medicine. Now Mr. Tan has stopped taking other medicines and only takes the pills prepared by Mr. Gu, one in the morning and one in the evening. He takes one meal
After feeling the changes in his body, Mr. Tan did not object to eating it.
After taking the medicine, Mr. Tan said: "Let's go down."
On the first floor, Tian Shao no longer accompanied Mr. Tan, but went directly to the kitchen. When she walked in, she smiled and asked Bai Churong if there was anything she needed to do.
Bai Churong pointed at He's noodles and said, "Minjun told Minxiu that the buns you make are delicious, not inferior to state-owned restaurants. So I chopped the noodles, chopped the meat, chopped the cabbage, and waited for you to mix the stuffing."
Whether the buns are delicious or not depends on the filling.
Tian Shao took a look and found that chicken, duck, fish, pork, beef and mutton were all available, as well as carrots, tofu and other items. She smiled and said: "Dad, doesn't he like beef? Let's make beef carrots."
Let’s make steamed buns!”
There is naturally no problem on Bai Churong's side.
The pork and cabbage were already ready, so Tian Shao asked Bai Churong and Zhang Ma to chop the beef and cut carrots. Because they only made twenty of each item, it would take more than half an hour to prepare.
After the steamed buns were finished, Tian Shao prepared to cook again.
Bai Churong smiled and said: "Xiao Shao, no need, just let Zhang Ma cook the dishes. You can go to the living room and have a rest!"
My sister-in-law is busy in the kitchen. How can she, a sister-in-law, wait in the living room for dinner? Tian Shao smiled and shook his head and said, "I'm not tired. My cooking skills are just average. I hope you don't dislike me later."
Bai Churong laughed heartily: "How can I still not know what your cooking skills are like? After Min Juan came back from your house, he always complained that my cooking skills were not good and he wanted me to learn from you."
From the time she married into the Tan family until now, every time the whole family got together to have dinner, she and the nanny were busy in the kitchen. The second daughter-in-law’s former daughter-in-law never went into the kitchen because she couldn’t smell the fumes. Later, the fourth son married Ni Xiaozhen.
This woman was willing to cook together, but it would only hinder her. Although she never said anything, she felt a little uncomfortable. Now Tian Shao offered to help, which made her very happy.
Tian Shao felt that the child should not be spoiled: "Since he said you are not good at cooking, let him learn it. Once he learns it, everyone will be happy."
Bai Churong smiled and said nothing. Boys still have to work hard at their careers. How about spending all day in the kitchen. But she knew Tian Shao wouldn't like to hear this, so she changed the topic.
Min Juan went to pick up Min Xing, and when he came back, he smelled a scent: "Wow, is this the third aunt making meat buns?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately stopped talking when he saw Tan Xingguo sitting on the sofa. He thought that Tan Xingguo would not arrive until dinner time, but he did not expect to arrive so soon. He would have come back later if he had known.
Mr. Tan said with a smile: "Don't you keep telling me that your third aunt is good at cooking and the food she cooks is very delicious. Today your third aunt is cooking, so you can enjoy it."
This was truly an unexpected surprise. Minjun smiled and said, "Then we are all in for a treat today."
Tan Yue stood up and said to Min Xing: "Come on, let me see if you have made any progress during this time?"
Min Xing had already learned about Tan Yue's skills, smiled and said okay and went outside. Min Juan didn't want to face his strict father, so he followed him out.
