"And even if you want to open the door for business, you probably won't be able to buy ingredients."

Wang Qing's words are very realistic. Given the current situation, due to the heavy snowfall some time ago, and it was on a large scale around the world, almost all the vegetables grown in the fields were frozen to death. In addition to the inconvenience of transportation, food and vegetables There is a serious shortage, and even if there is, it cannot be transported in. Most of the original survival in the city was lost in the tsunami. At present, people in the city can only rely on the small stocks in the warehouses of supermarkets and grain and oil companies to maintain the survival of the people in this city.

Tang Xiaochuan said: "It's sunny today. I believe that the snow on the road will melt in two days at most. By then, daily necessities, food and other ingredients will be able to be brought in and bought! By the way, you guys Do you have any difficulties in life? Do you lack food?"

Wang Qing said: "There is no shortage of food and meat. I went to the store a few days ago to get the meat in the refrigerator and the food that has not spoiled in the store. Although it is not much, it is enough for our mother and I to eat two. The only shortcoming is that there are no vegetables, we have not eaten vegetables for more than ten days, and we are seriously deficient in vitamins!"

After hearing this, Tang Xiaochuan thought for a while and said: "That's easy to say, I'll get someone to bring you some vegetables later! Besides, I think you still need to start a business. Although the situation is not good now, you can't just sit and eat. Have all the clerks from your two stores gone home?"

Wang Qing nodded: "Well, I let them go home years ago. Now that the weather is so cold and the traffic is inconvenient, I don't think anyone will come back to work until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

Tang Xiaochuan said: "Employees, I think you can recruit a few nearby. Now that the disaster has been happening for so long, many people's finances can no longer bear it. There are many people who can't solve the problem. I guess if you open the door for business, post a recruitment notice. If so, someone should apply for it!"

Wang Qing thought about it for a while, and thought he could give it a try, but then remembered the problem of raw materials, "Even if we can recruit employees, we can't purchase ingredients and food!"

Tang Xiaochuan said: "If you want to open the door to do business, I will find a way for you to deal with it. Now is the time when supplies are tight, and the weather is very cold. This is the best time to do business. In fact, you can only do one now. The dish is your signature mutton hot pot, it can be made for takeaway, give it a try!"

Seeing that Tang Xiaochuan had a way to get the ingredients, Wang Qing immediately said, "Then I'll leave it to you!"

"You write me a list, and I'll find someone to get it for you!"

Wang Qing said with a smile: "Don't worry about it, it's almost noon now, let's stay here for dinner, I still have some mutton in the refrigerator, I'll make a hot pot, let's eat something together!"

Tang Xiaochuan raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was past eleven o'clock, so he agreed, "Alright, I haven't eaten your mutton hot pot for a long time!"

Wang Qing asked Tang Xiaochuan to play with her daughter for a while, and she got up to cook, her movements were quick and fast, and after forty minutes, all the meals were ready, a mutton hot pot, three dishes, and the meals were put on the table , The alcohol stove was also lit, and the mutton hot pot was deliciously stewed, filling the room with aroma.

"Come on, let's eat!" Tang Xiaochuan sat at the dining table with the little girl in his arms.

Wang Qing took out a bottle of wine and two small wine glasses from the cabinet, "Drink whatever you want, I picked it up from the half-collapsed store, and the rest were smashed, only this bottle is intact of!"

Tang Xiaochuan looked at the wine bottle, "Hey, it's still Moutai, it's really not easy to drink this wine at this time!"

Drinking Moutai with hot pot, her body is warm and the atmosphere is very warm. Wang Qing is also in a rare happy mood. It has been more than half a month. From the catastrophe to the store being destroyed by the tsunami, her whole body has been in such a long time She was always in a terrible mood, and it was rare for Tang Xiaochuan to come here on a special trip, and even helped her make plans to reopen the store.

Tang Xiaochuan and Wang Qing are also very familiar with each other. They talked about everything while drinking and eating. After Wang Qing fed the child, he asked him to play on the sofa by himself, and then went back to the dining table to drink and chat with Tang Xiaochuan.

It had been an hour since the meal was over, Tang Xiaochuan couldn't hold enough alcohol, and gradually couldn't hold back his drunkenness after drinking, so he actually got drunk and lay down on the dining table.

Wang Qing drank as much as Tang Xiaochuan, and his face was flushed, but he was still awake. He felt that the temperature in the room was low, and worried that Tang Xiaochuan would catch a cold lying on the table, so he wanted to wake him up and let him go to the room. He slept in the bed, but he couldn't wake him up, so he could only lift him up and help him into the room.

Tang Xiaochuan has not been able to drink very well all along, he can only drink three or two ounces at most, and if he drinks too much, he will definitely get drunk. This time he drank a full half a catty, and it is no wonder that he is not drunk. The main reason is that Wang Qing kept pouring wine for him , he can't do it if he doesn't want to drink, it's too embarrassing to be fought by a woman, and he didn't know that he was drunk.

When he opened his eyes and woke up, he didn't know how long it had passed. Fortunately, his head didn't hurt, but he felt something was wrong. There was a person beside him, and when he turned his head, it was Wang Qing. It was embarrassing.

At this time, Wang Qing also woke up, and now his eyes met, Tang Xiaochuan was embarrassed.

Tang Xiaochuan didn't know what to say, so he had to change the subject: "Where is the... child?"

"Let's watch TV in the living room!"

"I'll go and have a look!" Tang Xiaochuan cleaned himself up as quickly as possible and went to the living room.

The little guy is less than one year old, but he giggled while watching the animation alone.

Tang Xiaochuan walked over and touched the child's hands and feet. They were warm and not frozen, so he felt relieved.

Turning his head, he saw that the leftovers on the dining table were still there. Tang Xiaochuan raised his hand to look at it. It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. He didn't remember when he was drunk, but it shouldn't be around one o'clock. , that is, he slept for more than two hours.

He got up to clean up the bowls and chopsticks. The grease on the bowls, chopsticks and dinner plates had frozen, so he took them to the kitchen and boiled some hot water to wash them.

At this time, Wang Qing walked into the kitchen: "You don't need to worry about this, I'll wash it!"

"fine!"

Tang Xiaochuan saw that Wang Qingxi's movements were a little awkward, and couldn't help asking: "What?"

"No, it's nothing, I'm just sore all over, just take a rest!" Wang Qing blushed even as he said that.

Tang Xiaochuan was embarrassed again, "That... I'm sorry!"

Wang cleaned the bowl, shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with you. Don't feel sorry for me, let alone Qingyuan. It's me who wants to say sorry. I didn't control myself. Don't feel burdened!"

Tang Xiaochuan shifted the topic to Wang Qing's store, "Which store do you plan to open?"

Wang Qing thought for a while and said: "Half of the old store has collapsed, many things in the store are useless, and there is no electricity there, so you can't do business, so you can only open in the branch store. I plan to do what you said at the beginning. A mutton hot pot, now I can’t hire a chef, I can only serve it myself, and I can only cook this dish, and stir-fry vegetables, and I can’t do other dishes!"

After the two of them washed the dishes, Tang Xiaochuan washed his hands and said to Wang Qing, "Please write me a list of the ingredients you need, and I'll ask someone to bring them to you!"

"it is good!"

Wang Qing quickly wrote a list, nothing more than mutton as the main raw material, and some vegetables and cooking oil in addition.

Miss Tang took the list and looked at it, "Don't you want seasoning?"

Wang Qing said: "The seasonings in the store can still be used for a month, and there are many types. I don't need them for now. Maybe after a month, they can be purchased on the market!"

"Well, when do you plan to open?" Tang Xiaochuan asked.

Wang Qing said: "In three more days, tomorrow I will take my children to the branch to do some cleaning and post recruitment notices, hoping to recruit a few waiters and delivery people. If I'm lucky, I can recruit two chefs! "

Tang Xiaochuan thought for a while and said, "If it's really not possible, I plan to find some people from the company to help you for a few days!"

Wang Qing hurriedly said: "Don't, there are too many people, I don't want the third person to know about the two of us!"

"Then... alright!" Tang Xiaochuan had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​asking the company's employees to help him for a few days.

Watching the animation on TV, Tang Xiaochuan's thoughts became complicated, and his mind was in a mess. He suddenly couldn't help asking: "Well, what happened just now, did you have this idea a long time ago, or was it impulsive?"

When Wang Qing heard Tang Xiaochuan ask this question, he couldn't help but blushed again, and leaned his head on his shoulder: "I won't tell you!"

Tang Xiaochuan had no choice but to stop asking, turned his head and said in a low voice: "I won't leave at night!"

"why?"

"I'm like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit. I can't taste any taste. I feel so unwilling!" Tang Xiaochuan sighed.

Wang Qing was angry and punched him with a fist.

The next morning, Tang Xiaochuan sent Wang Qing and the child to her branch. Although the temperature was still very cold, the snow on the major traffic roads in the city basically melted.

The car stopped at the door of the store, Tang Xiaochuan got out of the car with the child in his arms, Wang Qing took the key to open the door, Brother Wu went to the trunk and brought the stroller over for the child to sit in.

Tang Xiaochuan said to Brother Zhan: "Brother Zhan, go to Qingjiang Garden and drive my tiger over here!"

"Okay, sir!" Brother Zhan turned around and walked into the alley after he finished speaking and disappeared.

Tang Xiaochuan walked into the shop that had been opened. The shop had been soaked in seawater, and the walls were still not moldy. It could be opened after cleaning and tidying up.

Tang Xiaochuan immediately asked Brother Wu to clean up the dining table and the floor together. Wang Qing said: "Xiaochuan, if you have something to do, go and do it first. I can clean it by myself!"

"It's okay, it's quick to clean up with more people, it doesn't take much time!" Tang Xiaochuan started looking for cleaning tools after finishing speaking.

Twenty minutes passed, and when the cleaning was about to be finished, Brother Zhan came back in a Tiger. He got out of the car and turned off the engine, walked into the store and handed over the keys to Tang Xiaochuan.

Tang Xiaochuan handed the keys to Wang Qing and said, "The subway and bus are not in operation now, and it is inconvenient for you to go to and from the store and home. You can drive the Tiger outside first, and I will buy you another in a few days." new!"

In the past, Wang Qing refused to accept Tang Xiaochuan's help, let alone his financial support. At that time, she was very stubborn in her heart, thinking that Tang Xiaochuan did that for Liao Qingyuan's face, and she had no money with her. However, it is different now. The relationship between the two has changed. She can accept Tang Xiaochuan's car for a while.

She took the car key: "It's just for transportation, this one is fine, don't buy another new one, even if you buy it, I won't want it!"
