Chapter 383 Wu Yali: That person thinks I'm too beautiful
The lunch lasted until the end, and Li Xiaoshan did not agree to Xu Tongdao's invitation on the spot. He only said that he would think about it and would contact Xu Tongdao when he thought about it.
Tongdao Xu felt a little disappointed, but he could understand it.
After all, anyone who has reached the position of head chef will be cautious when changing jobs.
What's more, his invitation to Li Xiaoshan this time required Li Xiaoshan to leave his hometown and go to Shuiniao City across the province.
A few provinces apart, who wouldn't hesitate when encountering this kind of thing?
…
In the next two days, Xu Tongdao and Zheng Qing still went to hot pot restaurants every day, trying to buy the recipes of those hot pot restaurants.
The effect is good, real money is always convincing.
Neither Xu Tongdao nor Zheng Qing's eloquence is very good, but they use money to buy formulas, and the money is more useful than their eloquence.
Especially after they repeatedly promised to buy the formula and never open a hot pot restaurant in Fog City, and said that this clause could be written into the agreement, more than one or two hot pot restaurant owners were interested.
For these hot pot restaurant owners, as long as they do not harm the interests of their own hot pot restaurants and can still make a fortune, it is indeed worth considering.
Of course, people are greedy.
The appetites of these eager hotpot restaurant owners are getting bigger and bigger each time. The hotpot restaurant with good business will charge a higher price for its own recipe.
For example, Jiumen Incense is priced at 100,000 yuan.
For example, Grandma's Village asked for 200,000 yuan.
With such a loud mouth, Comrade Xu asked several times. After confirming that the other party was determined to kill the price and was unwilling to lower the price, he turned around and left.
He didn't have enough funds on hand, and there were so many hot pot restaurants to choose from in Fog City, so he didn't want to coddle these open-mouthed guys.
In two days, I bought three more recipes.
They spent 120,000 together.
Including the formula they bought before they met Li Xiaoshan, they had already bought four formulas in just a few days.
Comrade Xu was very satisfied.
I feel like I have initially acquired the ability to make money, and the ability to make money... is really useful.
That night, Xu Tongdao and Zheng Qing, who were in a good mood, came to a tavern, ordered a few dishes and a few bottles of beer, and wanted to celebrate a little.
Today, they bought two sets of formulas and felt full of accomplishment.
The food and wine were served, and the two of them chatted while eating and drinking.
All in a good mood.
After a few glasses of beer, Zheng Qing asked while picking up vegetables: "Xiaodao, according to the pace of the past two days, we should be able to go back soon, right? Now we have bought four copies of the formula, how many more do you plan to buy?
ah?"
Comrade Xu put a peanut in his mouth and chewed it, "Try to buy two more!"
Zheng Qing nodded and asked again: "By the way, Li Xiaoshan hasn't contacted us yet. If he hasn't contacted us before we leave here, do we have to take the initiative to find him again?"
Speaking of this, Comrade Xu frowned slightly.
He really wanted to invite Li Xiaoshan to Shuiniao City to be his head chef.
I feel that Li Xiaoshan is a good candidate for head chef.
When opening a hotpot restaurant, it would be an excellent choice to hire a chef who was born and raised in Wudu to manage the kitchen.
Unfortunately, Li Xiaoshan has not contacted him for two days.
"Let's wait two more days before we talk!"
Tongdao Xu sighed, and as soon as he finished speaking, the BB machine on his waist rang.
His brows moved slightly, and Zheng Qing also looked at the BB camera on his waist in surprise, and said in surprise: "It's not about Cao Cao. Cao Cao is here right? Does he really agree with the old saying? Haha."
He was very happy.
Comrade Xu smiled and thought it was a pager from Li Xiaoshan. He immediately put down his chopsticks, took off the BB machine from his waist, and took a look at the pager message on it.
The next second, his smile solidified on his face.
It's not Li Xiaoshan calling.
It was Wu Yali who called.
He and Wu Yali haven't seen or contacted her for some time. Ever since he heard that she was going on a blind date and might get remarried, he focused on his business and didn't go to her for a long time.
The paging message asked him to call her back.
"What? Isn't it from Li Xiaoshan?" Zheng Qing couldn't help but be curious when she saw his expression was different.
"Well, it was a friend who called me and asked me to call her back."
While talking, Comrade Xu looked back at the road outside the tavern and saw a phone booth on the side of the road diagonally across the road. He got up and walked to the door of the tavern, saying: "You eat first! I'll make a phone call."
Just come back."
"Hey, good!"
Zheng Qing has no objection.
Xu Tongdao left the tavern and looked around on both sides of the street. Seeing that there was no car coming on the street, he quickly walked across the road and quickly walked into the phone booth on the roadside.
Skillfully dialing Wu Yali's mobile phone number, the call was quickly connected.
"Hello? Xiaodao? Is that you?"
Wu Yali's voice came from the phone.
"Well, it's me. Do you want to see me?"
With his right shoulder leaning against the phone booth, Xu Tongdao looked at the night scene outside the phone booth with a calm expression and a calm tone.
In fact, he felt a little strange in his heart.
After all, Wu Yali was his first woman after his rebirth. Her domineering figure made him happy every time. He liked her very much and missed her very much.
"No, it's nothing."
On the phone, Wu Yali's voice was a little wavy, as if she didn't mean what she said.
Comrade Xu said oh, not knowing what to say for a moment.
He was a little curious in his heart whether she really remarried, but he didn't want to ask, because if the answer she gave was yes, he might feel a little blocked.
"I, you... Xiaodao, you haven't been to my place for a long time. Didn't you go back to Shazhou recently?"
On the phone, Wu Yali said this hesitantly.
Comrade Xu smiled slightly and said calmly: "I was on a business trip in Wudu recently. I have been here for a while. It may take a few days before I can go back..."
After a pause, he still couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked, "Did your blind date... go smoothly? Isn't it convenient for me to go find you again?"
Wu Yali did not reply immediately.
After a few seconds of silence, he said softly: "That thing, that thing has already passed. That person didn't take a fancy to me. I only met him once and never saw him again."
this?
Tongdao Xu frowned, his eyes were confused and he had serious doubts, "No way? I don't like you? You are so beautiful and have such a good figure, but that guy still doesn't like you? Does he dislike you for having a child?"
Wu Yali was silent for a few more seconds before answering: "No, I heard from the introducer later that he thought I was too beautiful and said that I didn't look like I could live a stable life, and that he felt that I was not a good match..."
Xu Tongdao: "..."
For this reason, Xu Tongdao didn't know what to say or how to comfort her. He was not even sure whether she needed comfort.
Maybe he didn't realize it himself, but after hearing such a reason, the corners of his mouth had slightly raised, and his mood felt a lot better inexplicably.
At this moment, the BB machine on his waist rang again.
He frowned slightly, took off the BB camera from his waist again, and found that this time it was really a pager from Li Xiaoshan.
