The Era of Hard Work

Got it— got it—

The cicadas on the tree kept chirping, and in the already hot weather, the noisy people were irritable.

In the R\u0026D Department of Lu's Catering, Lu Lanlan closed the windows, came back to stand in front of the dining table, lay down on the stainless steel dining table, and asked, "Is it still okay?"

Lu Dong came over with a water glass, pulled out a chair and sat down, and asked, "Are you hungry?"

The nail moved forward to expose Lu Lanlan's old background: "When I came here, Sister Lanlan said that she didn't even eat breakfast in order to come to eat delicious food."

Lu Lanlan's eyes widened: "No, I've eaten it, okay?"

Li Wenyue reminded: "Tail, your sister Lan Lan has grown up, you can't just expose her bottom, your sister Lan Lan will be very embarrassing."

Nail thought about it: "Okay! I won't talk about her in the future!"

Lu Jianren came back after smoking a cigarette: "Now life is better, you can eat whatever is delicious, just like before..."

Nail was dissatisfied: "Dad, you are about to become the second grandpa, and you can always remember bitterness and think sweetness!"

"If you don't let you know the hardships of the past, can you study hard?" Lu Jianren knocked on the table: "This is to remind you that today's good life is not easy to come by."

Lu Lanlan glanced at Lu Jianren: "Seventh Uncle is about to become a political teacher."

Lu Dong laughed: "If Uncle Qi teaches you politics, you will all pass the exam!"

Lu Jianren sat down and said, "As for the idiots Lan Lan and Nail, I'm not going to teach them systematically!"

Lu Lanlan suddenly smelled a scent, and straightened up: "It smells good, it smells good, what did you make? It smells delicious!"

Lu Dong gave her a glass of water: "Hold your breath, you have to hold your breath for good things before you can eat them."

Lu Jianren doubted: "Can the dishes cooked by a group of monks be delicious?"

"It wasn't made by a monk." Li Wenyue helped Lu Dong explain: "It just borrowed the name and recipes from Shaolin Temple, and the method and taste were recreated by Master Yang under his leadership."

Lu Dong nodded: "Master Yang led a team to Dengfeng some time ago, visited the kitchen of Shaolin Temple on the spot, and consulted the classics of Shaolin Temple, and sorted out a batch of Vegetarian dishes that Shaolin Temple still uses or has used before. Some are handed down from long ago."

Lu Lanlan's eyes seemed to be shining: "Brother Dong, do you have ancient delicacies?"

"Don't think too much, the name is ancient, and the method is modern." Lu Dong said the truth: "Ancient dishes are not as delicious as modern ones."

Lu Lanlan scratched her head: "Didn't it mean that many things in ancient times have been lost?"

Lu Jianren suddenly smiled: "Oh, Xiao Lanlan, you don't understand, without modern condiments such as MSG and chicken essence, dishes have no soul."

Lu Dong answered: "Uncle Seven has reached the point."

There was movement in the kitchen of the R\u0026D department, and Yang Feng came out first, directing a group of people to carry the tried vegetarian dishes and put them on the stainless steel dining table.

One after another, there were a dozen dishes.

Although these are all vegetarian dishes, they are delicious in color, flavor and taste.

Lu Lanlan picked up a mushroom, which was delicious, and then went to eat vegetarian chicken, which was also very delicious.

"It's delicious!" Lu Lanlan was cheerful, and she kept her chopsticks in her hands. While chewing the vegetables, she muttered, "Why is this kohlrabi so delicious? Why did my mother make it so delicious? And spicy, no fragrance?"

Lu Dong picked up the chopsticks and invited, "Seventh Uncle, Wen Yue, try them all."

Li Wenyue and Lu Jianren picked up the chopsticks and savored each dish.

Shaolin Temple Vegetarian Restaurant is a chain restaurant of the public type, the production cannot be too delicate, and the taste is relatively popular.

Li Wenyue said: "It's pretty good."

Lu Jianren nodded again and again, like a gourmet expert: "Old Yang's level is nothing to say, he is better than Qinghai, mushroom dishes, and soy products are all delicious."

After tasting it, Lu Dong put down his chopsticks and said, "The biggest feature of these dishes is not the taste. Compared with our traditional dishes, the preparation time is shorter and the serving speed is faster, which is convenient for customers to eat quickly."

He took out a tissue and handed it to Lu Lanlan and Nail, whose mouth was full of oil while eating: "In addition, Master Yang disassembled the process, and prepared semi-finished products for many dishes in advance, so as to improve the efficiency of the kitchen."

Lu Jianren has gained a lot of knowledge in the past two years, and asked: "Just like Taifengyuan Braised Chicken, can it be processed in a standardized assembly line?"

"It's not as cheap as that." Lu Dong roughly said, "It's not too bad."

Here, Lu Lanlan and Nail were still eating, and Fu Zhaoxia came in with a file bag, together with a few assistants and Yang Feng, had a meeting on the spot.

It is mainly to discuss the combination of dish promotion and promotion.

Lu Dong basically just listens, unless there are critical questions, he generally doesn't speak.

Now in the company, Lu Dong seldom manages specific affairs.

Fu Zhaoxia handed over a piece of information to Lu Dong, and said at the same time: "This is a publicity concept called Panlong Banquet. In our publicity plan, Shaolin Suzhai is in the same line as Shaolin culture. Among them, ancient emperors, such as Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian, Kublai Khan and Kangxi praised the Panlong Banquet especially. Shaolin Vegetarian Vegetarian Cuisine is a vegetarian dish in the temple, which embodies the spirit of Buddhist compassion and helps meditation meditation. As well as medicinal materials, it has the function of prolonging life and improving intelligence!"

Lu Dong nodded, "Yes!"

After so many years of catering, Lu Dong knows very well that the store sells not only dishes, but also corresponding cultural promotion.

The Shaolin Temple Vegetarian Restaurant is under intensive preparations. According to the plan drawn up by Fu Zhaoxia, the first batch of restaurants will open at the end of August in Quannan, Zhengzhou and Dengfeng at the same time in the Shaolin Temple scenic spots.

Of course, all operations and management are in the charge of the Lu's Catering team.

Moreover, Shaolin Temple Catering Management Co., Ltd., which is absolutely controlled by Lu's Catering, has obtained the only authorization of the Shaolin Temple brand in the catering industry!

After the meeting, the group left Lu's Food and Beverage R\u0026D Department after Nail and Lu Lanlan had eaten their fill.

Sitting in a seven-seat business car, Lu Dong asked Lu Lanlan who was lying on the seat: "Lan Lan, you are already in high school, have you thought about applying for any university?"

"belch……"

As soon as Lu Lanlan opened her mouth, she hiccupped first, then quickly covered her mouth, and said heavily, "Brother Dong, I haven't thought about this."

Lu Jianren, who was in the co-pilot, turned his head and said intentionally, "Lan Lan, what kind of university do you want to go to? How about applying directly to Lanxiang!"

Nail has an idea of ​​what college is all about: "Dad, Lan Xiang is a technical school!"

Lu Jianren said solemnly: "What's wrong with the technical school? The technical school can teach people how to cook. Lan Lan went to study for two years. She cooks and eats by herself without asking for help."

Lu Lanlan was defeated by Seventh Uncle: "Seventh Uncle, don't talk about it, why don't I skip dinner?"

Lu Dong smiled: "No, Uncle Qi will cook by himself tonight."

"Really?" Lu Lanlan's eyes widened.

Lu Jianren said: "Yesterday, there were a few customers who bought extra pheasants and didn't want them, so I took them back. Let's stew two tonight and roast one on top of the mud paste!"

Lu Lanlan rubbed her stomach, and said helplessly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier, Uncle Seven, if I knew I should eat less."

When the group returned to the Innovation Port of the Provincial University, Lu Jianren took Lu Lanlan and Nail to play at No. 1 Sports, while Lu Dong and Li Wenyue went upstairs.

Entering the office, Lu Dong greeted: "You can sit whatever you want, Song Na should be in a meeting right now, and she will have to wait to get off work." He turned to ask: "When will Yuan Jing come out? Let's go over there and take her. "

Li Wenyue said with a smile: "She doesn't have the freedom we have. It depends on the situation. She asked Xia Dan to take a leave of absence and leave work two hours earlier."

"Okay, let's go straight there later and follow her." Lu Dong asked his assistant Zheng Youyou to make two cups of tea.

In the evening, Uncle Seven was going to have a treat. He not only invited Lu Dong and Li Wenyue, but also asked them to bring their wives along. Jump outside.

Li Wenyue asked, "How are you and Song Na's shopping going?"

Lu Dong spread his hands and acted like a gentleman: "I don't care, Song Na handles everything, I just wait for the marriage."

"You are so easy." Li Wenyue was a little envious: "Yuan Jing, no matter what you buy, you have to call me."

Lu Dong asked, "How are you two doing?"

Li Wenyue said: "Look, people say that you can't get married in the month of your birthday. It's only in November. It's not too cold then."

Even if the Lu family village changes customs and Yuan Jing's family is unusual, there are still some things that are particular about, especially weddings and funerals.

Qingzhao is very particular here, and there are many things, such as sisters or cousins, the marriage date must be more than half a year apart; for example, you cannot get married in the month of the couple's birthday, etc.

The more elderly people in the family, the more particular.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, Song Na finished the meeting and called Lu Dong. Lu Dong and Li Wenyue went downstairs to meet Song Na. Together with Uncle Seven, they drove two cars to the county seat.

For Yuan Jing's job, especially since she is special, it's not difficult to get out early if she really wants to.

Besides, her immediate superior is Xia Dan who is very familiar with Lu Dong and Li Wenyue.

A group of people rushed to Lujia Village, and Seventh Aunt returned home early to help Seventh Uncle, who was cooking by himself, cook. Lu Dong asked for scissors and knives, and went to deal with pheasants. He used to do this kind of work a lot, and he was very familiar with it. .

Lu Lanlan was about to go out.

Song Na wondered: "Lan Lan, don't leave, don't you stay here for dinner?"

"I'm going for a walk with the dog." Lu Lanlan said shyly, "Lawangcai hasn't come out yet."

Song Na suggested: "Sneak out again at night."

Lu Lanlan suddenly lowered her voice: "Sister-in-law, it's different! I can digest my food while walking the dog now, and I can have dinner when I come back later. If I go for a walk with the dog again at night, I won't be able to eat this dinner."

Song Na stretched out her finger and poked her forehead: "You, you are not afraid to become a little fat girl."

Lu Lanlan laughed: "I can eat it, but I can't get fat. God is good to me!"

Song Na waved her hand: "Go, go, don't forget to come back later."

As Lu Lanlan walked out, she still didn't forget to turn her head and remind: "Sister-in-law, don't tell anyone else."

This kind of dinner is very lively.
