C659 Advising Wine
Chen Honglian had asked before, but Juan Zi did not study much. She had studied in primary school in the village and only went to second grade. Because her stepmother gave birth to a little brother, she was forced to drop out of school to help the family.2
After doing this for a few years, her hands had calluses. It was very rough and looked even uglier than a woman who had worked for many years.
Chen Honglian had given her Xue Mingming's clothes. The two of them were about the same figure and they were just right to wear. After wearing this, they looked more like students.
In the middle of the night, Chen Honglian was tossing and turning on the bed, unable to sleep. She sighed over and over, feeling sorry for Juan Zi's rough fate. If they had met earlier, she might have been able to help.
Eldest Xue went out to the shopping and talent market to find a chef. He only returned home late and late at night. After hearing Juan Zi's story, he was silent for a while.
Eldest Xue turned around and put his arm around Chen Honglian's shoulder. He said in a low voice, "Don't worry about it. It's not very bad now. At least we can help her escape that place."
"I know. I just feel pity for her. If that was the case, I'm afraid my heart would ache. I wonder why her father is so cruel."
As a parent, he's actually so cold-hearted. This is his own biological daughter. No matter how much he doted on his son, he shouldn't be like this.
"Don't even think about it. If you continue to be like this, you won't be able to sleep. Tomorrow is the official opening."
Yes, tomorrow was the opening day of the old Xue family's regular dishes. This name was also given by Eldest Xue himself. Originally, everything had been arranged. Once the waiter was recruited, the restaurant would basically be open for business.
There should not be many customers at the beginning of the opening, so Eldest Xue and Chen Honglian could still handle it. As expected, in the first few days, because the signboard had not been spread out, there were not many customers coming to eat.
There were only a few customers that were sparsely scattered.
However, during the business process, Chen Honglian discovered that Juan Zi's hands and feet were nimble. She served the dishes and cleaned the table very quickly. Her small body actually had such great strength.
Eldest Xue and Chen Honglian were both very satisfied. Everyone was in charge of their own work for a while. Behind them, there were also some people who came to apply for a chef. However, that was Eldest Xue's matter. Chen Honglian completely let go of the responsibility to arrange it for him.
By the time Xue Xue'er returned, the small restaurant had already become very popular. The human traffic was not inferior to the restaurant from before. Moreover, the reputation in this alley was pretty good.
On Friday night, Eldest Xue also closed the restaurant early, and the whole family went to Third Xue's house to eat. Xu Fangya and Xue Xue'er were simply too busy. The two of them had gone to and fro many times and had also cooked a lot of dishes.
It was estimated that in two to three hours, all the dishes were served. Only then did everyone turn from the tea table to the dining table. The men were all drinking wine, while the others and children could only drink some fruit juice.
"Come, everyone raise your glasses. Let's congratulate the old Xue family's home-cooked dishes together. It will be a smooth business!" It would only be effective when everyone was present. Otherwise, it would have been boring if it had only been a few people.
The family had to be neat and tidy.
Old Lady Xue looked at her three sons on the table and felt very satisfied and happy. It was so good that her sons were all beautiful. In their respective careers, they also had their own fortunes and development. She no longer had to worry about it.
As he drank, Eldest Xue also drank too much. The alcohol was already on his face. He even pushed Chen Honglian away and wanted to say something, "Xue'er!"
A loud roar filled with energy almost scared Old Lady Xue.
He laughed and said, "Xue'er, uncle wants to thank you. Thank you for helping me so much."
As a junior, Xue Xue'er could not be arrogant. She could only stand up quickly and use her own cup to toast Eldest Xue.
"No, no, big uncle. This is all because of you and aunt. I only provided an idea."
"No, no, come. Fill up the wine and let Xue'er and me have a toast."
"Boss, you're drunk..."
