Chapter 207 Hey, you handsome guy!
Chapter 207 Hey, you handsome guy!
About half an hour later, everything was ready.
"You must be exhausted."
He Yuzhu came over and supported Xu Huizhen.
"It's okay. I can bear it."
Xu Huizhen responded happily.
After closing the door of the tavern, the two did not return to the courtyard immediately.
"Huizhen, remember that before we got married, we often took walks together?" He Yuzhu held Xu Huizhen's hand and said nostalgically.
Xu Huizhen nodded, those were their beautiful memories.
“Now I can finally feel what it was like back then.”
He Yuzhu sighed and said, "Although life is hard, I feel very fulfilled." Xu Huizhen smiled when she heard that.
"I trust you! You can definitely lead the tavern to regain its glory!" Xu Huizhen encouraged him with confidence.
He Yuzhu smiled even more happily.
"Don't worry, I will do my best and won't let you down."
"I'm waiting for that day!" Xu Huizhen's eyes were firm.
He Yuzhu clenched his fists, determined to prove to everyone that he was not ordinary.
The next day, we arrived at the winery.
He Yuzhu first prepared all the cakes and snacks before going down to the underground warehouse.
This time he made some cookies and pastries with a milder taste and suitable for children.
He also checked the temperature inside the cellar and then opened the cellar lid.
Then he poured out the herbs and stacked them on the wooden rack.
Next, He Yuzhu found a large box filled with various seasonings, mixed them according to a certain proportion, and poured them into the sieve.
As the sky gradually darkened, He Yuzhu finally completed a full day's work.
When walking out of the winery, I met Xu Damao by chance on the way.
"He Yuzhu, where are you going?"
Xu Damao walked towards him and asked first.
"Go back home."
"Hey... I was just planning to go home too, how about we go together?" "Of course."
The two of them headed towards the courtyard together.
During this time, He Yuzhu noticed that Xu Damao was carrying a canvas package.
"Brother Xu, what treasure is in this backpack?"
"Don't ask about this, just be at ease."
Xu Damao answered in a seemingly mysterious tone.
"what ever!"
He Yuzhu responded indifferently, not showing any excessive concern for the secret.
By the time the two stepped into the courtyard, night had already fallen.
He Yuzhu took a bottle of sauce from the kitchen and went to his room, where he met Xu Huizhen who was returning home.
Seeing the bag of goods in her hand, He Yuzhu hurriedly took it and asked.
"What did you buy?"
Then he put it on the table and opened it: "Oh, these are all peppers?"
He asked in confusion.
"Yeah, the dishes have been bland these days, so I added some spicy food to enhance the flavor." "How spicy is this? Can you normally eat this?"
He Yuzhu knew very well that his wife Xu Huizhen was not a fan of spicy food, so he was a little surprised by this.
"Just take a look!"
After saying that, Xu Huizhen handed He Yuzhu a fruit peeler and started to chop the peppers.
After processing, add some water and soak for a while and then stir to blend the various ingredients.
He Yuzhu watched all this and couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Don't you feel uncomfortable eating this?"
“No, I think it tastes good.
Why don't you try it too?" Xu Huizhen encouraged He Yuzhu.
"Okay." He Yuzhu tried it after a slight hesitation.
Instantly, a strong tingling sensation came from the root of the tongue, making it almost breathless; but after this brief discomfort, it was followed by an unexpectedly wonderful taste, spicy and mellow, which went straight to the heart.
"Haha, how is it, isn't it fragrant?"
Xu Huizhen couldn't help laughing when she saw He Yuzhu's slightly painful expression due to **. She clapped her hands and said, "Your face is so funny." She pointed at him and said teasingly.
"Huizhen, this time it's really not easy!"
He Yuzhu's face was red, his eyes were filled with tears, and his whole body was trembling slightly.
The lips and teeth have a healthy blood red color due to the effect of chili peppers.
Xu Huizhen handed over a box of candy and said softly, "I'll give you some candy to relieve your pain."
These peppers were brought back from far away by friends and are particularly spicy.
Because Xu Huizhen was in poor health, the doctor recommended using red peppers to replenish qi and blood.
After some attempts, it did produce unexpectedly good results.
That night, following Xu Huizhen's instructions, He Yuzhu ground the peppers into powder, put them in bags, and hung them on the beams to dry.
"After about ten days of drying, it can be used to make medicine." Xu Huizhen said with satisfaction as she looked at the bags of hanging chili peppers.
"Huizhen, why didn't you tell me that you were not feeling well?" He Yuzhu felt a little reproachful.
"It's okay, I'm just a little weak.
You'll be fine after a rest."
He Yuzhu suggested: "Since you are not feeling well, why don't you close the shop and take care of yourself for a few days?"
However, Xu Hui** smiled and shook her head to refuse: "I am a store owner, how can I just give up my work? Don't worry, I will take care of myself."
She is an extremely stubborn woman. Once she makes up her mind, no one will change her mind.
Even my parents' persuasion didn't work.
"Hey! Huizhen, I know you don't want to let go, but you also have to consider your own health!" He Yuzhu said with a hint of helplessness.
"I understand! You should go and rest!" Xu Huizhen hurriedly urged He Yuzhu to go back and rest.
Both of them were busy and exhausted that day. At dawn the next day, He Yuzhu got up early and went to the store.
"Boss He, you've come at the right time. A customer has ordered one hundred boxes of snacks." The clerk reported happily.
"Oh? Who made the reservation?" He Yuzhu asked curiously.
The clerk handed over the order, "It's this female customer." He Yuzhu nodded, took it and examined it carefully.
It turned out that a company was planning to purchase them as holiday gifts for its employees.
"When did they say they were going to use the treats?"
Considering the large quantity this time, He Yuzhu began to worry whether the production progress could keep up.
"Two weeks later, they said they were going to distribute it to employees to celebrate the company's anniversary."
He Yuzhu nodded and said, "I understand. Leave this matter to me." As the customer had not paid any deposit, He Yuzhu did not agree to production immediately out of caution. Instead, he planned to find the customer in person to ensure the safety of the transaction.
In this way, according to the address provided by the other party, He Yuzhu went to the destination.
When he faced the female customer, He Yuzhu was instantly attracted by her beauty.
This woman is probably in her thirties.
She has delicate facial features and skin as white as snow. The white business suit makes her look more charming.
"Hello, are you Director Wang?"
He Yuzhu greeted politely.
"Hello, please come in and sit down!"
The woman called Wang Li pointed to the sofa and invited He Yuzhu to sit down.
"grateful."
He Yuzhu responded politely and sat down gently.
"I heard that you were planning to order one hundred boxes of snacks?" He Yuzhu asked.
Wang Li's lips curled up slightly, "Yes, our factory is having a big celebration recently..." "Therefore, I want to prepare some snacks in advance for distribution."
"That's it!"
After hearing what Wang Li said, He Yuzhu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the other party might change his mind.
"Of course, but please complete the payment process first."
Originally, He Yuzhu wanted customers to pay an advance payment first, but after rethinking it, he felt that it would be safer and easier to collect the full amount directly. After all, high-quality pastries not only cost a lot of money, but also require customers to bear the risks themselves.
After listening, Wang Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, our factory has a special account for such expenses."
Then he took out a business card from his handbag and handed it to He Yuzhu, who quickly glanced at the contact information on it.
"You can call this number tomorrow and our finance department will complete the transaction with you and send someone to pick up the goods in two weeks." Wang Li's attitude was very formal.
He Yuzhu took the business card, expressed his agreement and stood up.
"Okay, I will make sure to arrange production as soon as the funds are in place." He Yuzhu left the office and returned to his shop, and couldn't wait to share the good news with Xu Huizhen.
"Honey, thank you for your hard work. Let me help you relax." As she said that, Xu Huizhen walked forward to help He Yuzhu massage his shoulders and neck.
Her gentle and appropriate technique made He Yuzhu feel greatly relieved.
"Also, I have bought pig's trotters, and we can have pig's trotter soup tonight," Xu Huizhen added.
"I'll listen to you!" He Yuzhu answered happily.
"But, one hundred boxes of snacks are so many, can you handle it all by yourself?" Xu Huizhen seemed a little worried.
"No problem, I have a special method, haha, just wait and see!" He Yuzhu replied with a somewhat naughty expression.
"You are deliberately keeping us in suspense!" Xu Huizhen laughed a few times and then continued to be busy.
274. Agree
In the following period of time, He Yuzhu devoted himself wholeheartedly to the intense and busy production work. He would rush to the workshop and start new work before dawn.
Xu Huizhen proposed several times to help He Yuzhu, but was not agreed.
After all, the tavern was doing busy business during this period, and it would be difficult for just one waiter to handle it.
At lunch time that day, He Yuzhu counted the cakes and found that he had prepared eighty boxes.
There are only twenty boxes left to reach the goal.
At this time, Xu Huizhen appeared.
"Why are you here? Is there anything wrong with the pub?" He Yuzhu saw Xu Huizhen visiting the winery unexpectedly and was worried that the pub might have encountered some problems in its operations.
“It’s okay, don’t worry.
"
As she spoke, Xu Huizhen came to He Yuzhu's side and her eyes fell on the rows of exquisite pastries that were carefully arranged.
"How much is left to be completed? Do you need my help?" He Yuzhu shook his head gently: "Don't bother you, just hold on for two more days."
"Okay, then I'll finish work early and go home." After a few words of small talk, both parties went back to their own busy work.
Xu Huizhen, who was standing by, watched He Yuzhu skillfully packing and sealing the cakes, and thought that such a delicacy would surely sell well.
Noticing her gaze, He Yuzhu asked curiously, "What are you looking at? Is there anything different about my face?" "It is indeed a little different. Don't move."
Then, Xu Huizhen walked closer and kissed him gently on the face.
"Hey!" This action surprised He Yuzhu.
"Hey, you handsome guy!" Xu Huizhen teased with a smile.
