Chapter 563 Give Out Red Envelopes and Rent New Cars! Master Actually Got a Marriage Certificate? Congratulations! 【Please Subscribe】
"Meow~~~~~"
Dundun stood in front of Shu Yun's usual seat and clapped his paws.
Song Tiantian, who was sorting out membership information, smiled and asked:
"Are you looking for your godmother? She went home to celebrate the New Year and won't be back until a few days... By the way, she bought you several small toys. You can play with them."
A few days ago, when Shu Yun was free and browsing short videos, he accidentally saw several unique cat self-stimulating balls. After being turned on, they can roll around and flash. They are very suitable for kittens to chase and play. Bought a few individually.
The courier arrived when she and Song Tiantian were changing shifts, so she asked the strong woman who had just brought her boyfriend home to deliver it to Dundun.
It’s the New Year, so naturally I have to buy new toys for my godson.
Dundun didn't expect that he would have a new toy when he was not in the capital. He let out a soft cry and rubbed his head against the self-pleasure ball, which was slightly larger than a table tennis ball.
Clearly, the little guy is having fun.
Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue ran upstairs and downstairs, handing out red envelopes to everyone.
Then he drove to the company and handed out red envelopes to employees who had just started work today and had not yet had time to adjust.
After sending these, the young couple came to Dou Wenjing's office:
"Where are uncle and aunt? Are they gone?"
Dou Wenjing was sorting out documents. When she saw her boss and his wife coming in, she quickly stood up and poured water while saying:
"I left on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year and stayed in the capital for a week. Except for Badaling, I visited all the fun places in the city. I even praised the food in our restaurant for being delicious. I was worried that I wouldn't be used to the food at home when I go back. Meals.”
Speaking of her parents, Dou Wenjing's face showed a touch of warmth and tenderness unconsciously.
On the day she left on the sixth day of the sixth grade, her father, who was usually taciturn, not only took out the tens of thousands of dollars she had asked Yang Lin to take home, but also took out another hundred thousand dollars.
My daughter wants to settle down in a big city. Although her parents are reluctant to give up, they still use their family savings as much as possible to support her.
He also kept telling Dou Wenjing to be well in the capital and not to worry about home.
Dou Wenjing's parents rented land at home and grew potatoes, and their income was acceptable. The only worry in the past was that their daughter never got married, and they were worried.
But when I came to the capital this time, I found that although my daughter was living alone, her life was not boring at all. On the contrary, it was quite exciting. She had food, drinks, friends, and the boss was so nice, so she just let it go.
My daughter graduated from college and is better educated and knowledgeable than him, an old rural farmer.
So just do whatever you want, as long as your daughter is happy, you can still live a good life without getting married.
On the contrary, the young people in the village, although they are married and have children, either mother-in-law or daughter-in-law quarrel every day or compete with each other about not taking care of the children, causing a lot of trouble all day long.
If this happened to my daughter, it would be even worse.
Shen Jiayue took the jasmine tea from Dou Wenjing and said with a smile:
"Sister Jing, are you having a good time these days?"
Dou Wenjing nodded:
"My dad is so shy about expressing his emotions. When we were shopping on Guijie Street that day, he specially bought candied haws for me and my mom. He also took several selfies with his mobile phone and planned to show it off when he went back to the village."
Lin Xu took a sip of tea, took out a big red envelope from his bag, and handed it to Dou Wenjing:
"Happy New Year, Sister Jing, this is your New Year's red envelope."
During the Chinese New Year, Dou Wenjing took the initiative to leave the business of greeting the store so that Lin Xu could go home and celebrate the New Year with peace of mind. This New Year's red envelope was a must-have.
Dou Wenjing felt the thickness of the red envelope. She originally thought it was 10,000 yuan, so she thanked the boss and put it in the drawer.
But when Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue left for the Ziqiang Shengjian office area where they had gone out independently, she took it out and saw that it was not the usual red banknotes inside, but dark green.
Dou Wenjing reacted instantly to the huge portrait of Franklin on the coin.
This...this is US dollars?
Dou Wenjing never thought that her New Year's red envelope would be so big. She took her mobile phone and sent a message to Shen Jiayue:
"Yueyue, I just found out that there are US dollars in it. Is this red envelope too big?"
She did not contact Lin Xu directly, but contacted Shen Jiayue. This made it appear that it was a private chat between best friends. If she got the wrong red envelope, there was still room for change.
Shen Jiayue quickly replied with a message:
"It's not too big, not too big. The New Year is all about being happy. This year, you should try harder to see if you can apply for a settlement quota for your company. If so, I will give it to you. Maybe Sister Jing will be from the capital by the end of the year."
With a local household registration, you can buy a house and bring your parents to live with you.
Without a Beijing household registration, I can only rent a house.
Although there is a lot of pressure on mortgages and other things, Dou Wenjing's current salary no longer worries about these. With her salary and equity dividends, it is no problem to afford a small house.
"Thank you boss, thank you boss lady!"
Dou Wenjing originally wanted to make a cup of tea and relax at work, but with the temptation of the New Year's red envelope of 10,000 US dollars and the settlement quota, she replaced the tea with a more refreshing coffee.
Then sit in front of the computer and start writing a work plan for the first half of the year.
On the other side, Lin Xu came to Ziqiang Shengjian’s office area. He walked around but didn’t see Sister Yuanyuan, so he asked a clerk curiously:
"Where is your Mr. Chen?"
"Mr. Chen went to inspect the store."
"When will she come back? Not necessarily. She has also looked at several new stores and plans to rent them for renovation. We don't know when she will come back."
Hey, after my cousin became the general manager, he was working hard to make some achievements.
Lin Xu originally planned to hand out red envelopes with Chen Yuanyuan to let employees remember the newly appointed general manager, but now it seems that this worry is a bit unnecessary.
Sister Yuanyuan has now started renting a house to prepare for the expansion of a new store.
This kind of work efficiency is really worry-free.
Under the leadership of the HR manager, he and Shen Jiayue distributed red envelopes to everyone, and then drove to various stores and warehouses to distribute red envelopes to everyone one by one.
When I saw Wang Ziqiang again, this middle-aged man who was desperate at first had obviously gained weight.
It seems that during the Chinese New Year holiday in my hometown, I didn’t eat less.
Lin Xu took out 20,000 yuan and handed it over:
"You and Mrs. Sister-in-law each have a share. With Sister-in-law as a good helper, Master Wang can work here with peace of mind... By the way, we will expand the store in the first half of this year. You are under greater pressure. Why not just build a factory near the Fifth Ring Road?" Let’s standardize and formalize these processes, maintain constant temperature management in the workshop, and make everyone wear sterile clothing.”
Although this place is nice, it is not formal after all, everyone is noisy and it is not easy to manage.
When Wang Ziqiang heard this, he said hesitantly:
"The investment is not small."
"Don't worry about the investment. You should make a plan first. How big of a factory building you need, as well as the facilities inside, etc. Then let people start the construction and try to move there before May Day."
Now with eight stores, this kind of small fight is nothing.
But what if there are eighty stores? It's probably quite stressful just for this venue, where everyone is working non-stop for 24 hours a day.
"Okay, I'll draw up a charter as soon as possible."
Everyone is ambitious and has the support of the boss, so the employees will naturally cooperate fully, and Ziqiang Shengjian uses Wang Ziqiang’s name.
The louder the brand, the more famous it becomes.
After leaving the warehouse, Lin Xu drove out of the logistics street and saw Chen Yuanyuan talking to the cashier at the entrance of the Ziqiang Shengjian main store not far away.
He turned around and waited for Chen Yuanyuan to finish communicating with the clerk, then he lowered the window and said with a smile:
"My dear sister, I've been looking all over but I can't find you... I'm giving out red envelopes, spring red envelopes!"
Chen Yuanyuan walked to the car window and asked with a smile:
"And mine?"
"Of course, go on."
Shen Jiayue and Lin Xu got out of the car, took out a thick red envelope and handed it over.
Chen Yuanyuan was not Dou Wenjing. She tore open the red envelope and saw a stack of green banknotes inside, and immediately asked doubtfully:
"What the hell is this? Why do you look so much like the Peruvian coins that were used to deceive people on long-distance trains in the past? You two are so stupid, you won't be deceived, right?"
Lin Xu was speechless:
"Here are the U.S. dollars. You, Sister Jing and Sister Shu Yun each have one share."
The top leaders of stores, companies, and chain stores are all relatively important departments, so the red envelopes must be larger.
Chen Yuanyuan muttered:
"You rich people have so many tricks. If you give me US dollars in China, you won't be able to spend them as much as you want... Forget it, I'll keep it as a souvenir."
She stuffed it into her bag. Seeing that it was already noon, she planned to go to the store for lunch.
"Let's go for a walk and eat. After dinner, I have to go to the store. Some landlords are really evil. The photos look very good, but when I get there, I find that I am on a dead end road, which makes my trip in vain..."
Lin Xu gave red envelopes to the cashier and pan-fried chef at the main store, and then drove Shen Jiayue and Chen Yuanyuan to have lunch at Linji Food not far away.
On the way, he said to Chen Yuanyuan:
"You're such a troublesome guy running around. Let's get you a car. It'll be easier to drive."
It was very warm in the car. Chen Yuanyuan opened the zipper of her down jacket and said:
"Doesn't our company have no quota for buying a car? Yesterday, Mr. Dou said that he would give me the car. I didn't agree, but it's really more convenient to have a car."
Shen Jiayue said:
"Would you like to drive my car?"
"Pull it down. Your car costs millions, and it's still a sports car. It doesn't look like it's a business car. I'd feel bad if it got bumped."
Chen Yuanyuan refused without even thinking.
Lin Xu parked the car in the parking space in front of the store, put on the handbrake, and said to Chen Yuanyuan:
"Don't worry about the indicators. Just tell me which car you like and I'll get it for you in the afternoon."
You can rent a car if you don't have a quota. It's not like my wife's car rental company doesn't do our business.
Just rent one.
You can also avoid being ripped off by renting a car from your own company.
Lin Xu read the news two days ago and said that he wanted to rent a car during the New Year, but it turned out that the car broke down.
Not only did the renter feel embarrassed in his hometown, but he also paid for maintenance. When the car was returned, the rental company refused to refund the deposit because the paint was scratched, which made people very angry.
Not to mention how much cheaper it is to rent a car from Shi Niang's company, at least you won't encounter this kind of trap.
"Let's go for the Audi A4. It's easy to drive and easy to park."
Sister Yuanyuan is a pragmatist and doesn't care about luxury cars or anything like that. To be honest, if some business doesn't require interviews, she thinks Santana is pretty good.
After getting off the car, Lin Xu took his mobile phone and sent a message to the rental guy from the car rental company who came to deliver the van last time, asking him if the company had any Audi A4 available for rent.
When sending the message, he asked Sister Yuanyuan:
"What color do you prefer?"
"White."
Just after I finished speaking, a message came back on WeChat:
"Happy New Year Mr. Lin, do you want to rent a car? The company now has an Audi A4. What color does Mr. Lin want?"
"Happy New Year, just white."
Lin Xu originally wanted to ask about the price, but the little brother said:
"Okay, I'll drive you there in an hour."
So quickly?
But just bring it here. Master is not an outsider. She will go to see Master after lunch later. If she meets Master, I will thank her as well.
When we walked into the store, everyone was eating.
Even Dundun was squatting at the service counter, sipping the goat milk brought by Chen Yan. She heard that this stuff was good for cats to drink, so she bought some on the way.
Unexpectedly, the little guy liked it so much as soon as he smelled it, and he made a happy hum from his mouth when he drank it.
Coming upstairs, Chen Yan was sitting with Dou Wenjing and Zeng Xiaoqi, eating the stew on the table and chatting about some news about the Spring Festival.
Seeing Lin Xu and Shen Jiayue coming up, she smiled and said:
"Hey, the money-spreading boy and the money-spreading girl are back? They gave away one or two hundred thousand yuan on the first day of work. What does this mean?"
Shen Jiayue made a scissor hand gesture:
"It means that I am only twenty-three this year, but someone is running for four."
Chen Yan: "..."
Lin Xu washed his hands, filled a bowl of rice, sat down, picked out a few meatballs, two slices of pork belly and a chopstick of vermicelli from the stew, and ate it.
At home, we are eating all kinds of big fish and meat, and eating this down-to-earth stew is really comforting.
Shen Jiayue also said:
"This stew is so delicious, Yan Bao. When spring comes, we are going to go back to Yinzhou. Do you want to go? I will take you to the village market."
The last rural fair interested her.
The edited video also reminded countless netizens of their childhood experiences of catching up on big shows.
The video was actually shot very casually, basically just seeing and experiencing whatever it was, including traps, snacks, toys, clothes, etc. Shen Jiayue originally thought it would be a hit, but she didn't expect that the number of views was unexpectedly high, and it became a The highest number of views for the series in which Dundun does not appear.
Chen Yan is really interested in these.
She looked at Lin Xu and asked:
"I really like the fried jujube cake you ate at the market. Can you make some of it? Yueyue was eating it with a crunch, and the sound was so crispy that I was so hungry in the middle of the night that I drove out for a barbecue."
Fried date cake?
This is easy to do.
Lin Xu took a piece of soft stewed dried tofu and put it into his mouth and said:
"It's quite simple. I'll do something about it later and everyone can try it."
This kind of snack in North China seems to be only found in the northern Central Plains and western Shandong. Although there are similar snacks in other places, they are somewhat different.
Chen Yan didn't expect to be able to eat it today. She said to Chen Yuanyuan, Zeng Xiaoqi and Dou Wenjing:
"Don't leave until after dinner. Let's eat fried date cake and then go back."
Zeng Xiaoqi said:
"Forget it, I haven't finished writing the shooting plan yet. I have to go back to work later. I have to get off work early today and go to Qi's house with my parents to visit in the evening."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, are you planning to get engaged so soon?"
"That's not true. My dad thinks that he went all the way to the station to pick him up, so he has to come to express his gratitude... By the way, Boss Lin, when will the Ginkgo Garden start construction? If not, my parents will take the subway all over the capital."
Ever since I taught my parents how to take the subway on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the old couple had disappeared, either going to the Olympic Park or Wangfujing Street.
Yesterday morning I went to see the national flag being raised and had a great time.
Lin Xu said:
"We will start work tomorrow and the next two days, and Shang Weixing and his wife will also come over then."
After lunch, he went to the kitchen and started making the fried date cake that his sister-in-law was craving for.
This kind of snack is made of millet noodles wrapped in date paste and deep-fried. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a silky texture and a rich jujube aroma. It will make people remember it after eating it once.
Millet, also known as large yellow rice, is a cereal crop grown in Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places.
Lin Xu took a pack of rhubarb rice noodles and poured it into a basin. When pouring, it passed through a sieve. This not only filtered out the residue of rice husk that may have been mixed in, but also made the taste smoother.
Then he added cold water and kneaded it into a dough.
Raw millet dough is not sticky and is not easy to shape. Basically, it only needs to be mixed into a state without dry powder.
Take a clean cloth, soak it and spread it on the steaming plate, and put the millet dough on top.
Millet noodles need to be steamed before making fried date cake. During steaming, in order to save firepower and steam the dough more thoroughly, the dough needs to be spread out as much as possible so that it can be steamed to the maximum extent.
After laying it out, put it in the steaming cabinet and start steaming.
Taking advantage of this time, Lin Xu brought over the large red dates used in the pastry department to make yellow rice and jujube cakes. These red dates boiled in sugar water were not only full of sweetness, but also had a strong jujube aroma.
Remove the date cores and cut the dates briefly.
The red dates should not be too broken, and should be chewy. This way, when you eat the red dates in the silky millet noodles, you can have a more contrasting texture.
Cut and set aside.
Just as he was about to come out to take a rest, Uncle Gao suddenly sent a message:
"Xiao Xu, do you have time in the afternoon? Your wife and I went to get the certificate today, and we plan to treat you to a meal. You, the young couple, and your senior brother's family can come. No one else has been notified and we are too lazy to entertain you."
Are you getting married now?
Isn't it too fast?
However, the scene where the old Neptune is restrained by the scheming woman is quite touching.
He replied:
"I'm making fried date cake in the store. When it's ready, I'll go to your house with Yueyue."
"Hey, do you know how to make this kind of snack? Give me some, your wife likes it very much, give it to her to try."
After chatting with the master for a few words, Lin Xu sent a message to Xie Baomin:
"Brother, it seems that Master has obtained the certificate. What should we bring with us when we go?"
From the time I met Master until now, he has given me a house and a shop, and he also gave me six kilograms of gold on my wedding day.
Now it's Master's turn to get married, and he has to express his gratitude.
Xie Baomin replied:
"Just take something casually. Master hates red tape. Just order whatever you want. He is an elder. Just take it with you when you go to the elder's house. Eat more. It will make him happier than giving anything else."
These words made Lin Xu wake up instantly.
Yes, this is to see the Master, not to visit a friend's house and pay a courtesy visit. There is no need to compete for financial resources, and there is no need to abide by the etiquette of reciprocity.
Just like when you were a kid and went to your elders' house, you would eat more to make your elders happy more than anything else.
But since master said he wanted to eat fried date cake, he should bring more so that the senior brother and his family can also try it.
Soon, the millet noodles in the steaming cabinet were steamed.
Before steaming, this stuff couldn't come together into a ball no matter how hard it was, but now, it turned into a ball of sticky glue.
Lin Xu couldn't even touch it with his hands.
He held the four corners of the cage cloth and buckled it into a clean basin.
Then dip your hands in cold water and pat the back of the cage cloth repeatedly to re-soak the cage cloth.
At this time, the cage cloth can be removed.
After taking off the cage cloth, you need to put the millet noodles in while they are still hot to make the dough smooth, soft and elastic.
The specific method is to dip your hands in water, make a fist and press it into the basin. Every time you press it, dip it in water again. This will not only prevent your hands from sticking, but also avoid getting burned.
The temperature of the millet noodles was very high at the moment. Even if Lin Xu wasn't afraid of being burned, he didn't dare to touch it directly.
Finally, when the dough became smooth and soft, Lin Xu put the basin into cold water and cooled the millet noodles through the water so that the jujube paste filling could be wrapped.
While I was busy, a brand new white Audi A4 slowly stopped at the door of Linji Food.
The car that Sister Yuanyuan wanted to rent was delivered...
