The winter solstice is a very important solar term in the Chinese lunar calendar and a traditional festival.
On this day, the sun's ecliptic longitude is 270 degrees, and the sun shines directly on the Tropic of Capricorn. Our northern hemisphere has the shortest day and the longest night, and begins to enter the coldest days. Astronomy stipulates that this day is the beginning of winter in the northern hemisphere.
On the winter solstice, there is a custom of having a banquet in the south, and there is a custom of eating dumplings in the north.
Ah Qiao Dumpling Restaurant started to receive customers one after another at ten o'clock in the morning. By eleven o'clock, all the private rooms were full, and then it continued to turn over tables. It reached its climax at twelve o'clock, and there was a queue of customers waiting for a table outside the store.
A long dragon.
It was busy until two o'clock in the afternoon when it finally stopped. There were a lot of people eating dumplings and it was almost full.
Hua Qing and Sun Haicheng each set aside one furnace hole to cook dumplings, otherwise the dumplings would not go up at all.
It got even busier in the evening, with almost no leisure time, and customers were still being served at half past eleven.
Yanhua and Yanzi kept busy with the work. They were a little tired and couldn't walk. They were exhausted from telling Li Shuang that they would not welcome them.
No matter how tired I am, I am still happy. I sold 34,000 yuan in one day, and the dumplings alone sold 18,000 yuan. It’s scary to tell you that.
In the evening, I was going to cook some delicious treats for the employees. Hua Qing and Li Shuang said they wouldn't do it. Everyone was very tired, so they hurriedly went back to get off work to rest and do it again the next day.
After Yanhua and Lao Deng returned home, they simply washed themselves and then threw themselves on the bed.
It was very tiring, but the fatigue was quickly driven away by the unexpected turnover, and I was immersed in the excitement of making money.
"There are so many people eating dumplings that I can't open the door," Yanhua said.
"Today is the day to eat dumplings," Lao Deng said.
"The dumpling restaurant is open right. There are so many people today, so it will be like this on the Little New Year's Day." Yanhua began to look forward to the Little New Year.
"Yeah, almost." Lao Deng responded. He was a little tired. He went to the restaurant to help out after work and passed the dishes all the time. He didn't feel tired when he was busy, but now he is starting to feel tired and his feet are sore.
"We should open a branch." Yanhua said.
"Don't you mean that Lao Feng won't open up? He didn't come here today. He is probably angry with Yanzi." Lao Deng said.
A few days after Lao Tan left, Yanzi and Lao Feng had a quarrel. Yanzi meant that Lao Feng should not have said those words to Lao Tan, and at the same time, he also talked about opening a branch. Lao Feng disagreed and felt that
What he said was right, so the two of them quarreled. In a hurry, Lao Feng said that it would be okay to open a branch. He would first withdraw the money he invested, and the dumpling restaurant would make half as much money as him in the future.
This made Yanzi very unhappy. What would she use to open a restaurant if Old Feng took back the capital? Besides, the restaurant was opened in partnership with Yanhua. If Old Feng wanted half of the profits, what would she have left? Nothing.
The two of them started to quarrel unceremoniously.
How should I put it? The two people who worked together later did have trust issues. If they were a pure couple, it would not be like this. This also has something to do with life. Lao Feng is not a man enough.
Yanhua couldn't help but feel a headache when she thought of Yanzi and Lao Feng. She said, "I think it's a bit difficult for them to deal with it. Lao Feng means to just open this store and get the capital back."
"He doesn't believe in swallows. Swallows are young and they are afraid they won't be able to keep them." Lao Deng said to the point.
"Yanzi also said that he would get the certificate with him, but he wouldn't do it."
"Do you know that the old Feng family is the guardian of the tomb, and their lives are tough, and their wives are short-lived." Old Deng said.
This was the first time Yanhua heard that the old Feng family were the guardians of the tomb. She had never known about it before, and she didn’t know anything about the guardians of the tomb. She asked curiously: "What are the guardians of the tomb?"
Old Deng said: "Those who guard Beiling, isn't Beiling the emperor's tomb? The Feng family has guarded the emperor's tomb since their ancestors. Now they no longer need to guard the tomb, but their status is still there. Old Feng was rich, and in his early years
The emperor gave his family a reward when he paid homage to his ancestors. After all, there is something, but it was given by the emperor, and every piece of it is valuable. It is not something that ordinary people like us can compare with."
"Then you have money and you still care about giving Yanzi this little money?" Yanhua said.
"Hey, the richer you are, the more you care. Those who have no money are poor and generous. What do you think, Lao Feng? He initially invested money to open a dumpling restaurant because he wanted to keep Yanzi. Now that you two are getting more and more prosperous, Yanzi still has
Crazy, a little worried that Yanzi will not live with him in the future and run away with someone else." Lao Deng analyzed.
Yanhua curled her lips in disdain.
"It's okay to have a restaurant now. You don't need to open a branch. It won't be too late to wait until they figure things out. You and Yanzi are good sisters, there's nothing to say. I guess they won't live long. If
It's okay if we don't open a dumpling restaurant. Yanzi can follow Lao Feng peacefully, but now - it's quite embarrassing." Lao Deng said.
Yanhua sighed and couldn't help but think of what Lao Tan said - it's easy to do business but hard to make a partner.
A year ago, Yanhua's biggest plan was to open a small restaurant, similar to a snack bar, so that she could earn her own salary. The main thing was to have something to do. But now, the idea is different from a year ago.
Are not the same.
The business of the dumpling restaurant was booming, and the combination of going out for inspections and attending training classes gave her confidence in the dumpling restaurant and herself. She felt that she should open a branch while the iron was hot and turn the dumpling restaurant into a chain store.
She thought so and was prepared to do so. However, Yanzi was unsettled and her ideas could not be realized. After all, it was a business partnership between two people, and it could not be done according to her own wishes. She thought what Lao Deng said was right.
I'm worried, I'll see after a while, if Lao Feng turns around and agrees. Or if Yanzi and Lao Feng separate, then they have nothing to worry about.
Of course, it would be best not to separate.
When Yanzi arrived home, Lao Feng was already asleep. She didn't disturb Lao Feng. She took a shower first, didn't go back to the bedroom, and sat on the sofa in the living room to smoke.
When I went to the store in the morning, I thought it would be busy, but I didn't expect it to be so busy. After working in semi-high-heeled leather shoes for a day, my feet were a little swollen. I thought it was because Lao Feng would rub my feet and say something.
Thoughtful words of comfort, but now they are too much.
The relationship with Lao Feng has been somewhat tense these days.
I know what Lao Feng thinks, but she wants to do what she wants. How can I put it, the success of the dumpling house has given her the same confidence as Yanhua. This confidence comes from the recognition and affirmation of herself deep in her heart, and
Money is a concern, but not too much.
When a somewhat promiscuous woman suddenly discovers that she can make money, the joy in her heart goes beyond the temptation of money. What she affirms is her ability, not how much money she makes. From another level, when she discovers that she can make money,
When you can no longer please men in order to survive and can support yourself, it is the joy of becoming a serf and singing.
Although the metaphor is inappropriate, it is indeed the case.
Because I have regained my dignity.
Of course, Yanzi is grateful to Lao Feng in his heart. Without his investment, it is impossible to open a dumpling restaurant. This is undoubtedly.
But she didn’t understand why Lao Feng was opposed to opening a branch, and she was also suspicious of Lao Tan. Her idea was very simple. Since the dumpling restaurant made money and people liked it, this model was okay, so she would open a few branches and then do it.
chain.
Now I have married Lao Feng. Although I didn’t get a marriage certificate, we are still a family. Lao Feng is his village secretary and she is her dumpling restaurant. Both of them have something to do. Isn’t it great?
Besides, the money earned belongs to both of them, regardless of each other. The savings are the same as before. I have to ask Lao Feng for money, which makes me feel unhappy.
Lao Feng's objection to Lao Tan can be interpreted as a man's small-mindedness, which is barely acceptable, but if he doesn't ask to open a branch, he can't accept it. When Lao Feng said that he would recoup the cost and take half of the profit, she became angry and felt this
Men are not as kind as they appear on the surface, and are a bit dark.
Take the capital back and Yan Zi agrees. Regardless of the current relationship between the two, just treat it as ordinary friends. After all, it is Lao Feng’s money. Now that the dumpling restaurant is established, it is their duty to come and take the capital. There is nothing wrong with it.
Problem.
But it's a bit unreasonable to make a profit. It's obvious that they don't regard themselves as a family. Although they didn't get a marriage certificate, after all, they slept in the same bed for more than a year, so how could they lose their relationship? Who is she in his heart? Miss Lian
Not as good as anything?
Is there any need to continue living with this man?
Then I thought that although I am a woman, I have been in society for many years, so I have to be particular about things. I have been with Lao Feng for more than a year, and before I opened the restaurant, he was very kind to me. I had to eat and drink.
He also provided money to spend. It can be said that he relied on Lao Feng to support him at that time.
Now I can make money by opening a restaurant, so I can't explain it to others. It's still someone else's investment, and I can't do that. In addition, they didn't say I won't open it myself, they just don't call it a branch.
If Lao Feng only opened this dumpling restaurant with Yanhua, he would have no objection. Life would be the same as before, peaceful and loving.
But now my thoughts are different from before. When a person has confidence in himself and wants to change, his heart is fanatical and rational.
Especially for women like Yanzi, who have been living in a world that she thinks is good but is actually very empty. She seems to be liked by men but is actually a state of being looked down upon. When life opens a door in front of her,
When a ray of sunshine shines in and she feels the dignity and meaning of a living person, she will change herself without hesitation and start a new life.
Let’s call this a career for now.
The success of the dumpling restaurant gave her a strong sense of professionalism and ambition, and she wanted to do something big like those successful female bosses.
But before she could do it, she was opposed by Lao Feng, which made her very angry.
Even if Lao Feng objects, he will do it. There are two solutions, one is to talk things through with Lao Feng, and the other is to separate from Lao Feng.
Realistically speaking, if you break up with Lao Feng, you have to pay back his money. Then the money to open a branch will be gone. You can't ask Yanhua to invest alone.
Besides, when I separated from Lao Feng, those who knew didn't say anything, and those who didn't knew promised that they were using Lao Feng's money to open a restaurant. When they made money, they kicked Lao Feng away. It was not polite.
Yanzi made a plan in his mind and wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Lao Feng again and try to talk him through. This was the best result.
If she doesn't open a branch, Lao Tan promises not to come back. She is also worried that if Lao Tan doesn't come back, the people in the kitchen and front desk will leave, and then the dumpling restaurant will not be far from the yellow shop. It can't be as simple as Lao Feng said, just find it
Just a few people can follow and learn from them. Whether they teach or not is a matter of course. If Hua Qing and Wang Hong withdraw, the newcomers will never be able to do as well as others. This is the most important thing.
She and Yanhua had studied how to get Lao Tan back, but Yanhua said it was unlikely. Lao Feng didn't trust Lao Tan. It was impossible for the two of them not to meet up after they came back, which would inevitably lead to embarrassment. There was also the issue of Lao Tan's salary.
You can earn 8,000 anywhere with your skills and management. Why would you come here to earn 6,000? It's good to be able to help out for a year.
Yanhua said very directly: "When Lao Tan comes back, Lao Feng promises to have a conflict with you. If you two don't get together, Lao Tan will be a sinner. He is not stupid. If he doesn't see this, can he ask for leave and go home? I understand him."
, he is more dedicated than anyone else, and he cannot just leave when he is about to do something big. He is completely discouraged.
Let me tell you Yanzi, if we open a branch to become a chain store and make Aqiao Dumpling Restaurant famous, we can’t do it with our guarantees. We must find Lao Tan back. But before doing so, you have to understand it with Lao Fengzheng. If he
If you don't agree, let's just work in this one store. If I get a chance, I promise to work in the second store, and I won't care about you then."
Yanhua understood what Yanhua said. She thought of Li Wanshan and wanted to have the opportunity to talk to him about Lao Feng and ask him to talk about Lao Feng.
