start with a pet store

Chapter 681 The first dinner together

"Also, you can break the dough apart now." Ji Ling added.

"What's the point of breaking the dough apart?" Lu Jingxing asked.

"Oh, actually no, the pot I used to cook noodles in was too small, so I had to break the noodles and cook them." Ji Ling said with a smile.

Put the noodles into the pot, add 50 ml of water, add some sugar, add the instant noodle seasoning packet, and you're done with a portion of braised tomato egg noodles.

"Wow, it looks good, very appetizing!" Lu Jingxing smelled it and laughed happily.

"Yeah, it looks pretty good, haha." Ji Ling praised, "It seems you already have some of my cooking talents."

Lu Jingxing laughed loudly, picked up a piece of noodles with chopsticks, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"How does it taste? It looks good..." Ji Ling asked.

Lu Jingxing nodded, then shook his head: "Well, it's not as delicious as yours."

Feeling a little embarrassed by the praise, Ji Ling laughed: "I'll cook for you next time!"

"Okay." Lu Jingxing raised his eyebrows and nodded happily: "Then I'll be waiting!"

"That's it for today's cooking instruction class. I'm going back to sleep. I have class tomorrow. Goodbye." Ji Ling said.

"Bye." As soon as he finished speaking, the screen froze.

"You're really impatient." He shook his head and continued to eat noodles. Although they were far apart, the noodles seemed to bring the two of them infinitely closer.

After eating the noodles, he went to check on Lu Chen and Lu Xi who were sleeping happily in the room. Seeing that they were fine, he fell asleep peacefully.

Lu Xi got up early the next morning, even earlier than Lu Jingxing: "Brother, wake up. How about we continue eating cake this morning..."

Lu Jingxing opened his eyes, looked at his expectant sister, and said with a smile, "Good morning, why did you get up so early? Have you been thinking about those cakes all night?"

Lu Xi coquettishly said: "No, brother, do you want to get up?"

"Get up, get up, get up right away. Go wash up and wake up Chenchen too..." Lu Jingxing stood up with a smile.

"Okay..." Seeing that his brother was up, Lu Xi stopped and happily ran out to call Lu Chen.

The three brothers and sisters finished washing and had breakfast together. Lu Jingxing sent them to school as usual before returning to the store.

Xiao Liu was the first to come and report on the work: "Master, yesterday's task was successfully completed. There are two that have not been neutered. When is the best time to arrange them?" He looked at Lu Jingxing.

"Those two seem to be only about three months old. They probably haven't been vaccinated yet. Don't worry for now. Let's get vaccinated for a while first." Lu Jingxing had an impression of the two youngest ones. Since they were just that little bit old, Big, it must have not been vaccinated.

"Hmm, I've already arranged the vaccine. I'll take it in the afternoon. Everything else will be fine..." Xiao Liu said with a smile.

"Okay, then let's do this..." Lu Jingxing patted his shoulder.

The two walked into the office together talking.

The two of them each received a few consultations in the morning. At noon, the contractor came over and said, "Mr. Lu, the kitchen is almost completed. Do you want to go check it out?"

Lu Jingxing had just finished eating. He went to check before eating. It was almost done, but he didn't see the contractor. After hearing what he said, he immediately stood up and followed him to the kitchen.

Today’s kitchen looks much more practical and bright than before.

Lu Jingxing tried the range hood and other items and confirmed that there was no problem. This contractor also did practical work. Although these stoves were all purchased for him, he also bought them all from big brands and relatively affordable. Lu Jingxing is not a person who likes to care about things. He is a person with a small amount of money, but if others want to trick him, they can't.

He nodded with satisfaction: "It's very good. Thank you for your hard work. Your progress is great. It's completed ahead of schedule."

The contractor smiled naively: "That's necessary. Knowing that you are anxious, I specially sent a few more people over. As long as you are satisfied."

Lu Jingxing felt very comfortable when he heard what he said: "That's right, that's right. I'll come to you whenever anything happens in the future, haha..."

The two of them exchanged a few polite words, and seeing that both parties were quite satisfied, they stopped worrying about anything. Lu Jingxing also settled the bill with the contractor neatly.

Then he quickly asked Xiao Sun to notify his aunt and Aunt Xie to try it out.

When Xiao Sun's aunt received the call, she immediately left and arrived at the store in less than an hour.

Aunt Xie was even more lucky. She happened to be there when the contractor asked Lu Jingxing to inspect the work, so when she heard Xiao Sun calling her, she walked in from the backyard with a smile.

When Xiao Sun brought her to Lu Jingxing's office, Lu Jingxing looked surprised: "Xiao Sun, aren't you too efficient?"

When Xiao Sun and Aunt Xie heard Lu Jingxing's teasing, they both laughed loudly: "Isn't it a coincidence? Aunt Xie was still at the door when you went to check the acceptance. As soon as I called, she came out of the backyard, haha …”

Aunt Xie also smiled and said: "I often come to your place for walks, so I can come as soon as possible..."

"That's best. How can we try it? How about you prepare a meal tonight? Xiaosun said that her aunt can come today. Thank you for your help. You can help us buy some food first and see what else we need. Take Xiaosun with you. Let's go together, he can be a purchaser..." Lu Jingxing was thinking as he spoke, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought this was a solution. Anyway, we have to eat at night, so if we try it, how can we try it? Isn't it just to stir-fry vegetables and make a meal?

"Okay, that's no problem for me..." Aunt Xie agreed readily. Xiao Sun was a little surprised, but he responded quickly.

After saying that, the two of them went to the kitchen and discussed in whispers for more than half an hour. Aunt Xie said, "Xiao Sun Ji, I have counted all the small items that need to be used in the kitchen one by one to make sure that nothing is missing." , and gave the list to Lu Jingxing.

Lu Jingxing took a look and found that he didn't fully understand this. He also thought it was no problem, so he allocated two thousand yuan to Xiao Sun. When he comes back, he can refund more or make up less.

While several people were discussing, Xiao Sun's aunt also came to the store. Lu Jingxing met with her. She explained the basic situation and looked at the environment, and she was quite satisfied.

Because Xiao Sun had already talked to his aunt about the salary, so they both had a tacit understanding and didn't say anything more.

Then I left my aunt in the store to do the cleaning, while Aunt Xie and Xiao Sun went out to do shopping.

Lu Jingxing announced to the store employees that if nothing else goes wrong, starting tonight, everyone no longer has to eat takeout and can eat in the canteen of his store.

Everyone who heard the news was very happy. Everyone knew about this before, but they didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Lu Jingxing called another employee to help his aunt, and the store returned to its usual appearance.

At about four o'clock, Xiao Sun and Aunt Xie came back. In addition to pots and pans, they also bought seasonings, and more importantly, vegetables, rice, oil and so on.

Aunt Xie is also a diligent person. Xiao Sun asked people to move things to the kitchen, so she got out of the car and rushed into the kitchen to get busy.

Soon everyone could smell the aroma of vegetables.

When school was over, Lu Jingxing went to pick up Lu Chen and Lu Xi.

From now on, the brother and sister can come to the store for dinner after school.

Lu Jingxing didn't like to have dinner parties very much, so he rarely organized such dinner parties for employees in the store.

Tonight, I specially asked Aunt Xie to cook some big dishes. It was the first formal dinner party in a while.

So after everyone got off work normally, they put things off if they had something to do, and they all tacitly agreed to stay and have dinner together.

Seeing the two aunts placing a large table full of dishes, everyone was drooling a little.

This is no worse than a restaurant.

This is about seeing the appearance and looking at the appearance, and tasting the taste.

Everyone unanimously recommended that Lu Jingxing should say a few words.

Lu Jingxing laughed and said a few words in response to the situation. They were just polite words, but after the meal, his relationship with everyone seemed to be much closer.

On the way back, Lu Jingxing asked Lu Chen and Lu Xi how they liked the food cooked by the aunts.

The two brothers and sisters were very satisfied. In fact, what Lu Jingxing didn't know was that they didn't care so much about the taste of the food. What they cared about was that they could eat with their brother every night. For this reason, they were very satisfied.

Lu Jingxing also went to New Paradise in the afternoon to confirm the time when the exotic pets could be picked up.

The plan is to pick it up the day after tomorrow.

Around evening, Song Yuan came to the store and told him about the opening ceremony. Lu Jingxing specifically asked the manager of the new park to contact Song Yuan, and they were almost able to communicate.

Most of the activities were decided, and they were all basic routines. Lu Jingxing always felt that there was something wrong, but he couldn't remember the details for a while.

That's all we can do for now. Anyway, there's still some time, so let's make do with it.

After arranging the two little ones, he remembered that he had promised to see the old man Ouyang, so after arranging for the brothers and sisters to sleep, he went out again.

I'm so busy during the day that I don't have time.

At this point, I don’t know if the old man has fallen asleep.

After thinking about it, I called Ouyang before going out.

When Ouyang came to Lu Jingxing and said he wanted to see the old man, he quickly agreed: "I haven't slept, I haven't slept. You can come, but you are not allowed to bring anything. You can just come and see me. The old man is still talking about you during the day..."

Lu Jingxing responded with a smile.

Soon he arrived at the hospital. This was the only high-end hospital in Long'an. It was in Hexi. It was a bit far from where he lived, but driving was pretty fast and there was no traffic jam at night.

Before he entered the hospital, he bought a fruit basket at the entrance of the hospital. He had to show some respect, and it was a bit embarrassing to be empty-handed.

When the old man saw him, his eyes immediately lit up. He really liked Lu Jingxing.

Maybe it was because Lu Jingxing liked small animals and he had been rescuing stray cats. He really liked this year-end friend.

"Grandpa, how are you?" Lu Jingxing put the fruit basket on the tableside table and saw that there were fruit baskets and bouquets like his everywhere beside the bed and under the bed. No wonder Ouyang didn't let him buy them. It would indeed be a waste. I won’t be able to finish it in a while.
