"Boss, the money has been allocated." The assistant reported word by word to the man on the sofa, then pulled out a report form with a pen and handed the tablet to him, "This is a relatively poor county in Xinjiang Province.
, I have marked it."
Tang Yuan glanced at it and pushed the tablet back to him: "Let the foundation donate to schools in these places according to the standards of No. 1 Middle School."
The assistant smiled bitterly: "Boss, you are really thorough in your charity work." Do you know how many cities there are here? This school is worth millions, not to mention the continuous investment of money in the future.
Tang Yuan remained silent, curling his lips and not wanting to explain too much. The conversation between the children and the teacher touched him greatly. Later, he chatted with the landlady alone for a while.
"Mr. Tang, I have carefully considered your suggestion, but I still have to reject it. My hotel looks old, but everyone eats well. If you build it magnificently, no matter how affordable the food is, the diners will
They will always stay away." The proprietress looked at the small restaurant in front of her that was filled with fireworks and loud conversations, and looked at him seriously, "I know you are here for this child Yu Jian."
The landlady is a veteran, so how could she not know what Tang Yuan was thinking. Probably this rich and handsome man couldn't bear his beloved woman working in such an environment. But what he didn't know was that this girl from the Yu family was happier than anyone else.
Such an atmosphere. She doesn't care what kind of person is eating her food, or whether the status of the diners is noble or humble. What she likes is the satisfied smiles of the diners.
She is pure.
The proprietress couldn't help but think of an old man with the same surname Yu. From the words of her grandfather and father, she had an inexplicable admiration for this old man since she was a child. Not only because of the livelihood he brought to the family, but also because of his respect for the family.
The love of the world.
"If you really want to make Ah Jian happy, why not..." The landlady thought for a moment and put forward her own idea.
…
"Sister! I want a large plate of chicken. Can you give me two more pieces of chicken?" The student pointed at the plump chicken legs in the basin, salivating.
Yu Jian rolled his eyes and naturally extended the spoon to where he pointed: "You seem very happy today?"
The student nodded fiercely and showed off to Yu Jian: "I tell you, our school is going to build a plastic track soon! The air conditioner has been installed in the past two days, and our classes are not cold at all! Moreover, our teacher has also decided not to leave.
!”
"So many good things?" Yu Jian looked at his excitement and laughed too.
The student puffed up his chest: "That's not true! The principal said that some kind people donated a large amount of money to our school, which is unimaginable. In the future, the conditions of the school will get better and better, and there will be more and more teachers! Sister!
, I will definitely study hard, get into a good university, and then come back to build our Xinjiang province..."
Yu Jian listened patiently to his ambitions and felt a different light shine in the child's eyes. She added two more spoons of chicken and handed the plate to him: "Okay, you can eat more now."
Otherwise, you won’t have the energy to study!”
The children at the back all had different spirits, which also infected Yu Jian and made her a little excited throughout the day.
"Sister, let's go first!" Night fell and it was time to close for the day. Brother Ye and the proprietress stood in front of the door and shouted towards the inside.
Yu Jian poked her head out of the kitchen and waved her hand: "You go ahead, I'll be done in a little while, I'll just lock the door later."
Boss lady: "Don't be too late. If you have anything to do, you can come tomorrow!"
Yu Jian stayed because she wanted to make a pastry.
First knead the unsalted butter into the flour, and break it into fine particles with your hands. Add the sugar and baking powder and stir evenly. Beat in an egg, add heavy sour cream, and knead the dough bit by bit.
soft.
Remove the cores of dried apricots and prunes and grind them into a puree. Many people like to use modern tools to make a paste, but Yu Jian enjoys the traditional grinding process, watching the originally hard dried apricots gradually become soft and rotten.
, this process is exceptionally decompressive.
Roll the risen dough into a rectangular strip, use a grinder to press out a round sheet, wrap it in apricot or prune puree, wrap it into a dumpling shape, wrap one side with a layer of white sugar, and bake it over high heat and slow fire.
The dough gradually became crispy and golden as the temperature increased. Yu Jian held her chin and looked at the fat and white sour dumplings in the oven, and gradually began to feel dazed.
Tang Yuan kept paying attention to the opposite side and looked at the time. It was already this hour and the lights had not been turned on. He couldn't help but become a little anxious. He Xuxu put on his coat, put on a pair of boots and rushed out of the door.
"Lady boss?" The restaurant hadn't closed yet, but there was no one inside. Tang Yuan pushed the door open and called softly. No one answered.
From the direction of the back kitchen, the aroma of milk kept drifting over. This made him feel hungry because he had not eaten much dinner.
He walked towards the back kitchen step by step, his hand touched the door curtain, but he hesitated a little. Just when he was about to turn around and leave, he coughed unsatisfactorily, disturbing the people inside.
"Tang Yuan?" Yu Jian opened the curtain and came out. She looked at the man who was coughing and out of breath. She quickly supported him and patted his back. After finally breathing, the man's face was as red as blood.
My whole body was trembling.
Is his body...already so weak?
"Sit down quickly and I'll get you some water."
Tang Yuan opened his big dark eyes and quietly watched her busy, took a sip of warm white water, and held her hand. His voice was a little hoarse, but he was always gentle: "I'm not busy.
, sit with me for a while."
The dim lights in the greenhouse surrounded the two of them. The heating in the store had been turned off for a long time, but Yu Jian's face was getting hotter and hotter. Under Tang Yuan's aggressive gaze, her earlobes turned a little pink.
.
"you……"
"you--"
The two spoke at the same time in unison.
Tang Yuan chuckled lightly, "You say it first."
Yu Jian secretly cursed herself. She was already very familiar with this man, so why was she inexplicably shy? She pursed her lips, her eyes filled with resentment: "Did you donate the money to No. 1 Middle School?"
How could there be such a coincidence? I just heard that a teacher was coming home a few days ago, and suddenly a huge donation came in? No matter how insensitive Yu Jian was, she knew that this must be Tang Yuan's handiwork. After all, among them,
, that is, this man is sitting on the golden mountain.
"Reluctant?" Tang Yuan laughed at her.
Yu Jian glared: "What nonsense are you talking about! Why can't I give up?"
"When we get married, all this money will be yours." Tang Yuan blinked.
Yu Jian was speechless for a moment, but her face turned even redder, and she stuttered a little: "Who... who wants to marry you! I think you are sick and stupid!"
Tang Yuan leaned towards her, hugged her shoulders, and gently leaned his head against hers. The two of them sat together quietly. After a long time, Tang Yuan said quietly: "There is someone I like very much.
But she dislikes me for being handsome and rich, and wants to run away from me. In order to match her, I can only spend all my money..."
The words became more and more outrageous, but they made Yu Jian laugh. She hit the man's broad shoulder and complained: "Do you think you are spending all your money just for me?"
Tang Yuan replied shamelessly: "That's not true! If this continues, I will soon be a pauper! Ah Jian... you may have to support me in the future..."
Yu Jian said "poof": "Want to eat soft rice? That's impossible... You also have Lantingxuan, which is also a profitable shop."
"Lantingxuan is yours too..."
The two of them were noisy, talking to each other. In the room filled with the fragrance of milk, the future road suddenly became clear...
If nothing else, it will be over in these two days~~Thank you all for your continued support of "Gourmet", thank you all for never leaving me~~
