Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

Chapter 258: Visiting the Wrong Temple

"Comrade Lou, this is the plan we just came up with. Please take a look at it."

Lou Xiao'e sighed and said nothing else. She took it, opened it and started reading it on the spot.

After a quick glance, he returned the item to Director Jing.

Director Jing's heart kept sinking. Without waiting for Lou Xiao'e to speak, he asked, "Is it still not working?"

"It's too far away. If it really doesn't work, forget it. Besides, aren't we cooperating? The farm on the outskirts of the city is also good."

Director Jing felt a bitter taste in his mouth. Yes, Lou Xiao'e had reached a cooperation with them.

But the problem is that the place is not under his jurisdiction!

Before he could open his mouth, Cao Wei walked out.

"Hey, Director Jing, what a coincidence."

"Yes, you live here too?" Director Jing was a little surprised.

"Hi, aren't we all friends? Before, she lived in her big house and had no popularity, so she came here to live with us." Cao Wei said generously.

"Oh, like this……"

"Okay, I won't chat with you anymore. We have things to do. Let's go first."

"Okay, okay, go ahead."

After Cao Wei took Lou Xiao'e away.

Director Jing looked at their backs and muttered to himself, "It turns out I went to the wrong temple."

"You are so bad!" Lou Xiao'e naturally hugged Cao Wei's arm and said coquettishly.

"It's not my fault. Do you think his plan is acceptable?"

"Whether you like it or not, you've all gone through this. There's one thing Shuhua said that's true. How much money can a restaurant make these days?"

"Hey, you still look down on this little money."

"I respect you, I respect you. I definitely respect your case."

Lou Xiao'e was right. To open a restaurant, according to what Director Jing had in hand, it was nothing more than making it bigger on the basis of the original one, but what was the use? The basic unit price was there. A dish, a few cents for vegetarian dishes, and a little more expensive for meat dishes, was no more than one dollar and eighty-two yuan at most. How much could you earn in a month? This amount of money was a lot of money for the Chinese people at that time.

A small restaurant can earn hundreds or thousands of dollars with hard work, but for Lou Xiao'e, it is just a drop in the bucket.

It was too little and she looked down upon it. However, Cao Wei made her see deeper business opportunities in this area where there was no basic solution.

This man is outrageous.

"Stop looking at me like that. If you keep looking at me, I'll eat you up."

"Virtue! Hurry up and buy more so that you can have a good night's rest."

"You should take some supplements." Cao Wei nodded.

Lou Xiao'e pinched him and he finally behaved himself.

A snowflake swayed with the wind and fell on Lou Xiao'e's head. Cao Wei tilted his head and stretched out his hand, wanting to chase away this naughty white, but after thinking about it, he let it go. This white embellishment looked quite beautiful.

"It's snowing."

Lou Xiao'e stretched out her hand and caught a small piece of snow: "Go faster."

"In the past, you would have expressed your feelings about the first snow of winter and composed some poetry. Why didn't you do it today?"

"Because I have you, the snow scene and all that doesn't matter."

The sound of their conversation faded farther and farther away as the snowflakes fell.

In the courtyard, when Lou Xiao'e and Cao Wei came back, they met Sha Zhu.

"Hey, Silly Zhu? What a coincidence? We're having hotpot today?"

"Of course not. Look at this. Hey, good stuff!" Sha Zhu lifted the mutton in his hand. Then, with his sharp eyes, he saw what Cao Wei was holding: "Good fellow, you also lifted it. You took it from old man Li."

"Of course not. Well, stop busying yourself and come with me to my house to eat."

"That's not good. I also made an appointment with the third uncle and the first uncle. It's not appropriate."

"What's inappropriate about that? You two old men, how much can you eat? Come on, come on. I've got a lot. Bring your wife with you. Why are you being so polite to me?"

"Yes, Shazhu, let's go together." Lou Xiao'e also responded.

"Oh, Lou Xiao'e, that's fine. You're a wealthy man. If I eat with you, it can be considered as a contribution to the revolutionary cause."

"Go, can you be more polite with your words?"

"Hey, look at my mouth, okay, okay, I won't say any more, I'm going to go call for help." Sha Zhu turned around and was about to go to the middle courtyard to call for help, but he turned back halfway and handed the mutton in his hand over: "Here, I'll give it to you first, you're good with the knife, you can slice it."

"Okay, go ahead. Let's go to the room in the middle of the backyard. That's the bigger room."

"Don't worry, I'll be there in a moment."

"Hey, tell me." Lou Xiao'e nudged Cao Wei and said, "If Jingru knew that I didn't call her in such a busy place, would she be very angry?"

"That's for sure." Cao Wei reminded expressionlessly, "She will still rely on you, so you can wait for the punishment."

"cut."

"Hey, Lou Xiao'e, I noticed that you have become more and more naughty recently. Tell me yourself, is your butt itchy?"

"Yeah, hit me?"

When Sha Zhu got home, he shouted hastily, "Wife, Er Zhu, Xiao Zhu, stop it, let's go to Lao Cao's house in the backyard to eat."

"What's wrong? Mistress, why did you go to the backyard to eat when everything was fine?" Qi Su heard the voice. She was just about to make the soup base. The water was already heated up, so she was waiting for Sha Zhu to come back and make it. After being married for so many years, she had learned a few tricks.

"Hey, what a coincidence! Lao Cao is also planning to eat hotpot, and we two decided that hotpot is more fun with more people. So we decided to go together. No need to bother, Lao Cao has it all."

"Okay then." Qi Su always listened to Sha Zhu on matters like this. Moreover, she also wanted to have a good relationship with Cao Wei's family.

Cao Wei turned into Jia's house and knocked on the door. He looked and said, "Wow, we are ready to eat. Huaihua, when did you come back?"

"Dad, I just came back because I had some free time during the holiday. Have you eaten?"

"Not yet. Stop eating, Aunt Jia. Let's go to the backyard and have hotpot. Mutton hotpot. Uncle One and Uncle Three should come too."

"Is it delicious?!" Huaihua's eyes lit up. This girl loves food. She has never had any resistance to the food made by Cao Wei. She has been fed by Cao Wei since she was a child.

"Yes, pack up and come over." Cao Wei shouted and went out.

"Grandma, let's go, let's go eat something delicious."

"You are so useless, you only know how to eat." Jia Zhang said unhappily.

"Then are you going?" Huaihua asked, blinking her big eyes.

"Go, why not go! The old men are going, why shouldn't the old ladies go?"

"Then let's go."

"Why are you in such a hurry? I just got back and I still need to slice meat and cook the base of the pot..."

"Hey, let's go over and chat first. Who knows, I might be able to eat a few pieces while I wait."

"You greedy girl!"
