Chapter 51
morning.

Xu Jie came to the unit and went to the cafeteria to eat three meat buns and two tea eggs before returning to the column group.

Su Yun's breakfast is nutritious, but she's not used to eating it, it's tasteless and tasteless, and she always doesn't feel full. For people like him, who eat dumplings with vinegar, eat noodles with garlic, and eat finger cakes with more spicy food For serious tasters, it's a nightmare.

Today's work plan is relatively simple, and it doesn't take long to organize.

Xu Jie buckled his notebook and stretched, just when he saw Zhang Mingliang coming, so he grabbed his things and walked over.

"Brother Liang, the autograph you want."

In addition to the two autographed photos, there is also a book Su Yun published last year called "Yun Made of Rain in the Wind", which also has a signature on the cover.

Zhang Mingliang was very happy when he saw it, and put the book and photos into his bag carefully, for fear of breaking it.

"Thank you, brother, I'll invite you at noon." Zhang Mingliang clasped his fists.

"No, it's a little effort." Xu Jie waved his hand, took the thermos bottle and went to pour water.

When he came back, he saw Zhang Mingliang sitting in a daze listlessly at his workstation, he walked over curiously and asked, "What's the matter, Brother Liang, is something wrong?"

"It's okay." Zhang Mingliang forced a smile on his face.

Only then did Xu Jie notice that the other party's eyes were bloodshot, and there were blisters on his lips.

Doesn't it seem okay?
Xu Jie looked back at the other people in the group, guessing that Zhang Mingliang was embarrassed to let his colleagues know, so he whispered, "Brother Liang, if you have anything, just tell me, maybe I can help?"

Zhang Mingliang hesitated for a moment, then said: "Actually, it's nothing, doesn't Xiaoli's family run a restaurant? Business has not been very good recently, and the family is a little worried. I can't help as a boyfriend, alas! "

Xu Jie knew that Zhang Mingliang's girlfriend was called He Xiaoli and worked in a magazine, but he didn't know that his family owned a restaurant.

"It's not easy to handle?" Xu Jie said after hearing this, "Where is the restaurant and what's its name? Wouldn't the business be better if the colleagues in the table visit a few more times?"

Zhang Mingliang sighed and said, "We have a cafeteria in the table, and we don't pay for anything to eat. How can we let everyone spend money outside? Besides, who can eat out every day?"

Xu Jie nodded, and he was right.

At this time, Wang Jingmin walked in from outside, Xu Jie patted Zhang Mingliang on the shoulder, and then returned to his workstation.

In the morning, Xu Jie and Zhang Mingliang came to a residential area. Residents here reported that a newly moved first-floor resident had changed the windows into doors, and used a fence to surround the public green space at the entrance to their yard, which not only affected the entire building. It also invaded public resources. Regardless of the property in the community, only TV stations could be found for help.

In fact, Xu Jie had been there yesterday, but the owner of the first floor was behind closed doors, and the curtains were pulled so tightly that he didn't even talk. Later, he went to the property, and the property's attitude was very clear. They were mainly responsible for community security. Security and maintenance of facilities, other things can't be managed, and no one listens.

When Xu Jie came to the first floor again today, not only did they not remove the fence, but they also pressed a lock on the fence door. No matter what he said outside, it went up to the city greening management regulations, down to the people who care about the environment of the community. Everyone is responsible, there is no movement in the room at all, and there is no accident and a closed door.

At noon, Xu Jie and Zhang Mingliang were going back to the work unit for dinner. As soon as they got into the car, Xu Jie suddenly remembered something.

"Brother Liang, aren't you going to invite me to dinner?"

"Yeah, where are you going?" Zhang Mingliang asked while turning on the warm air. He stood outside all morning, shivering from the cold.

"Just go to your girlfriend's restaurant." Xu Jie said.

Zhang Mingliang was stunned when he heard it, then nodded and drove immediately.

The car stopped when it was traveling near the East Fifth Ring Road.

Zhang Mingliang pointed to the outside and said, "It's here"

Xu Jie looked in the direction the other party pointed, and there were five words written on the brown wooden sign: Jiade Dumpling Restaurant.

The dumpling restaurant has two floors, and the area does not look small, but the corresponding rent must be quite a lot.

Xu Jie followed Zhang Mingli into the door. The dumpling restaurant was bright and clean. The tables and chairs were all wooden, traditional and simple. There was also a large dumpling culture poster on the wall. , Sitting in the lobby, you can see the master making dumplings.

At this time, it was time for lunch, but there were only three people in the more than ten tables in the lobby, and the business did not look very good.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, a middle-aged woman who was sitting in a daze immediately stood up with a warm smile on her face, "Welcome to the light..."

After seeing that it was Zhang Mingliang, the woman directly swallowed the word "Lin", but her enthusiasm was still there.

"It's Bright, are you looking for Xiaoli?"

"No aunt, my colleagues and I were out for an interview, and just happened to pass by here and stop by for lunch." Zhang Mingliang said with a smile.

"You haven't eaten yet? Let's see what you want to eat. I'll let the kitchen cook it for you." The middle-aged woman handed over a menu.

"Xu Jie, don't be polite to me, just order whatever you want." Zhang Mingliang pushed the menu in front of Xu Jie.

"Don't worry, I won't be polite." Xu Jie opened the menu, not only boiled dumplings, but also steamed dumplings, fried dumplings, there are more than ten kinds of fillings, and in addition to dumplings, there are also various stir-fried and cold dishes, named It is a dumpling restaurant, which is no different from a restaurant, except that it features dumplings.

Xu Jie ordered a portion of pork and cabbage, another portion of mackerel, and a portion of cucumber and a portion of scoliosis. It is almost the same for one person. In comparison, Zhang Mingliang's is simpler. A steamed dumpling with three fresh fillings, and a dry croquette.

"How long has this dumpling restaurant been open?" Xu Jie asked Zhang Mingliang while looking around after his aunt left.

"Seven or eight years." Zhang Mingliang leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Xiaoli's family came from the northeast. I heard Xiaoli say that when she was admitted to the capital to go to university, her parents were worried about her, so she The family moved to the capital and opened such a dumpling restaurant."

"After so many years, the business should be getting better and better, how can it be getting worse?" Xu Jie asked in confusion.

People in the capital are stubborn. If the food doesn’t taste good, let alone seven or eight years, it will be closed every year. Unless it’s not bad money, it’s just for fun. So in the capital, you can often see some old shops, and you can often see some of them. The hotel is always under renovation.

"In the past few years, the business was really good, but in recent years, there have been more and more dumpling chains, and it can even be said that they are everywhere. The signboard is an advertisement. In addition to the rise of takeaway, some dumpling shops use machines to make dumplings, which reduces the cost and is cheaper. , the speed is still fast, as time goes by, the business of traditional handmade dumplings will become more and more difficult, and now there will be more people during the New Year and the festival." Zhang Mingliang said with a sigh.

"Oh."

After waiting for ten minutes, the dumplings and dishes were ready.

Xu Jie first sandwiched a pork cabbage, which has the fragrance of pork, the sweetness of cabbage, and the juice in it. The taste can be said to be quite good, and each dumpling is bulging and can sit up, unlike some chain stores. Dumplings are all lying down.

He tried cold dishes and stir-fried dishes again. The cucumbers tasted sweet and sour, the three kinds of salty, sweet and crunchy ones. The dry croquettes were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Before Xu Jie didn't come, he thought it might be a problem with dumplings and dishes, but now after trying it, he felt that it had nothing to do with dumplings and dishes. Maybe it was simply not famous, and relying on nearby residents was not enough to support the cost of the entire store.

"Have it!" Xu Jie looked at Zhang Mingliang and said, "How about we just shoot dumplings for the Winter Solstice special? Find three or four dumpling restaurants and bring them here. When shooting, the store name on the plate was accidentally exposed. The effect should be good, I remember that the winter solstice was on Sunday, and the program happened to be broadcast on Friday night."

Zhang Mingliang was stunned after hearing this, and after a while he stuttered and asked, "This, is this okay?"

"Why not? When the TV broadcast is over, you can play it here again on a loop. The business will definitely not be bad a year ago." Xu Jie said seriously.

"I mean, is this a fake public benefit?" Zhang Mingliang asked after hesitation.

"It's called fat water not flowing to outsiders," Xu Jie said.

"Even if it works, it's not a long-term solution. We can't make dumplings after the New Year, right?" Zhang Mingliang asked.

Xu Jie thought for a while and said, "Internet celebrity shops are popular now, please check in and promote them. Today, I, an Internet celebrity with 200 million fans, will help you promote it for free."

As he said that, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and took a picture of the dumplings on the table.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Mingliang asked curiously.

"Post on Weibo." Xu Jie said.

"No, no, I really don't need, thank you for your kindness, it's too much trouble for you, let's eat dumplings!" Zhang Mingliang said quickly, people were scared incoherently, the other party's promotion for the bar just passed, he didn't want to let the dumpling shop go Bar follow.

"Brother Liang, it's too outrageous to bring trouble to me. Who are we?" Xu Jie said with a smile.

Zhang Mingliang sweated on his forehead.

This is not a matter of seeing the outside world, but mainly worried that the dumpling restaurant will be scolded and closed.
