Chapter 331 - Even Tong Jiaxin was quiet that night. (1)
That unfilial child Rugui. Not only did Old Mr. Wan found out about his girlfriend through soone else. He said he needed to talk to her first before he could bring her ho to introduce her to his grandfather!
He had been so busy at his work that he barely had ti to eat dinner. Who knew how long it would take if they waited for him to consult Young Grass?Uncle Zong, “I think it’s one of the governnt-operated restaurants around City Nan. Commander, Miss Young Grass is too incredible. She is able to beco the manager of a restaurant at such a young age!”“Miss Young Grass is such a good cook. It only make sense that she is the manager of a restaurant,” said Old Mr. Wan proudly with his goatee fluttering.That was his future granddaughter-in-law they were talking about. Of course she was incredible.Uncle Zong, “Commander, are you heading to the restaurant? I’ll go with you.”Old Mr. Wan gave him a look before he shook his head from side to side like a rattle drum. “No can do. You can’t co with. Miss Young Grass had t you before. She would recognize you right away if you co with .”Uncle Zong, “Do we still need to be secretive about your visit, Commander?”Old Mr. Wan said matter-of-factly, “Of course. As the little jerk Rugui had been keeping this a secret from , I will be keeping my eting with Young Grass a secret from him too!”Uncle Zong was stunned, “……”But that ant he would not be able to have Miss Young Grass’s cooking!***Tong Mianmian’s fever had reduced but she was still very dispirited and looked very pitiful.Tong Xuelu brought her ho and had Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin took good care of her. She then went over to give Shen Wanrong a heads up before she headed into the restaurant.After she arrived at the restaurant, she held another regular eting and encouraged others to speak up. They were welcod to express opinions concerning anything.Both Guo Weiping and ng Qingqing were quiet people and both shook their heads gesturing that they had nothing to add.Guo Chunyu raised her hand and said, “Manager Tong, we have heard from many of our patrons we are not serving enough malatang and that they would not be able to get it if they don’t arrive early enough. Should we consider serving more?”“No, that won’t be necessary. If they want to make sure they can have it, they just need to co earlier."Tong Xuelu gave her a look. She felt that Guo Chunyu would be good in business after the economy had opened up.Given that they were only making a fixed inco right now regardless of how much the restaurant was making, what was the point of working harder?That was the biggest problem with communism. Most people do not aim to go higher once they’ve t the minimum requirents.Tong Xuelu had a good idea how to make more money in the future but they were not there yet.“Let’s make so atballs today.”They would not be increasing the quantity but they could increase the variety. The patrons would be burned out very fast otherwise.Tong Xuelu brought Guo Weiping with her to buy the ingredients after the eting.Beef was relatively cheap at this era compared to the future. One jin of beef was about the sa cost as pork.Tong Xuelu bought so beef, fish, and pork to make beef atball, pork atball, and fish balls.Guo Weiping was surprised when he saw her buying beef. “Manager Tong, are all the beef for beef balls?”Tong Xuelu nodded. “You’ve never had it before. If done right, beef atballs taste better than fish balls. You will see.”Rembering Tong Xuelu’s cooking, Guo Weiping couldn't help but gulped. Nothing that Manager Tong had made was not tasty.Tong Xuelu started making beef atballs after they had returned to the restaurant.As the weather was getting colder, they could store the extras for another day.Making beef atballs were very physically demanding. One would need to separate out the tender and mbranes and get rid of the fat. Then they would need to pound the at out.The pounding part was especially exerting. Tong Xuelu had everyone took turns doing that.After the beef had been minced, they had water and cornstarch into it before mixing them all up until there were air bubbles in the minced at. Then they were ready to be ford into balls.The beef atballs needed to be set first before they could be cooked in a pot. It was certainly more work making beef atballs manually but they for certain tasted better than those made by machines.
