My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 237

The moment the pressure cooker was turned on, a strong meaty aroma quickly permeated.

Lele shouted loudly: "Wow, it smells so good!"

Xu Dong picked up a small piece of imperial goose meat with his chopsticks, blew hot air hard, then put it in his mouth lightly, chewed a mouthful, only felt the meaty taste, and it tasted like going back to grandpa's house to eat pig slaughtering mat after an hour.

Very happy, very happy.

"Honey, how does it taste?" Yang Lina asked.

Xu Dong nodded again and again: "Not bad, not bad, the meat is crispy, soft and glutinous, with a full taste. Your husband has performed exceptionally well this time."

"Let me try it." Madam Xu stepped forward to taste a piece of meat.

"Mom, is it delicious?" Xu Dong asked expectantly.

"It's not bad, sweet and sour, not too greasy, Dabao and the others must like it." Mama Xu confirmed.

"Dad, I want to try it too." Lele shouted.

Xu Dong waved his hand: "Don't worry, just grab your plate and come one by one."

Lele was the first in line. Xu Dong fished her a fist-sized piece of meat, then put some vegetables in it, and finally poured a big spoonful of broth and sprinkled with chopped green onion, it was perfect.

Followed by Ke Ke and Ma Xu, Xu Dong followed suit.

The next one was the triplets. The three brothers had a small appetite, and because there was red wine in the meat, children couldn't eat too much. Xu Dong scooped up a small piece of meat for them, about the size of an egg.

"Father, I want more." Dabao said eagerly.

"Let's eat it first, it won't taste good when it's cold." Xu Dong coaxed.

Finally, it's the adults. It's really perfect for one person to scoop up two large pieces of meat and then serve it with fried rice soaked in soup.

At this time, the benefits of being a single family are revealed. At least you don't have to worry about the neighbors. No matter how the smell of meat spreads, it is impossible to spread to the next-door community.

Looking at the children who were devouring, Xu Ma reminded loudly: "Eat slowly, don't choke."

"Grandmother, my uncle's stewed meat is really delicious." Ma Xu's mouth was full of food.

Xu Ting poured a glass of watermelon juice for her son.

Ma Xu quickly drank a big mouthful, and then stuffed another big mouthful of meat, for fear that if he was too slow to eat, the meat on the plate would be snatched away.

Ma Lingling's food was more refined, but her speed was not slow at all. After chewing a few times with her small mouth, a piece of meat was eaten.

"Grandma, I'm done eating."

Dabao showed his grandma an empty plate. The egg-sized piece of meat was really uneaten, and he finished it in two or three bites.

Mother Xu smiled and touched her eldest grandson's head: "Well, our eldest son is really amazing."

"Grandma, I want more, Dabao is not full yet!"

After the little guy finished speaking, he lifted his body, revealing his round belly.

Mama Xu stretched out her hand to touch it, and joked, "Oh, I'm really full. Grandma will get you another piece of meat."

"Mom, it's almost enough. If you eat too much, you will feel uncomfortable at night." Yang Lina quickly persuaded her.

"It's okay." Mama Xu waved her hand, "I'll get him a small one."

Just after appeasing Dabao, Erbao also finished eating, and showed grandma with an empty plate.

Yang Lina took the plate and scooped up a piece of meat the size of a ping pong ball for her second son, and then picked up several pieces of carrots and shiitake mushrooms.

Er Bao said with a bitter face, "Mom, I don't eat carrots."

"Eat carrots and grow up." Yang Lina educated.

"Then why don't you eat it?"

Yang Lina hurriedly added a few pieces of carrots and mushrooms to Dabao. Dabao made a face at his second brother, and obediently ate all the carrots and mushrooms.

Seeing this, Xiaobao put down the plate obediently, and quickly expressed that he was full.

"Little cunning." Yang Lina pinched her youngest son's tender face.

……

On the other side, Xu Dong had two drinks with his father.

"Dad, how's the company's performance in the past two months?"

Dad Xu put down his wine glass, put a piece of shiitake mushroom in his mouth, "Changming's performance is booming, and there are so many orders in his hand that he can hardly finish them. Ye Hui's personal ability is indeed very strong. As long as she is here, the company will not be troubled." .”

"What about Hongtu?"

"Uh, my side is much worse. Last month's profit was only more than 50. It's more than enough than the bottom!"

"Hongtu has hundreds of employees. The scale is not small. How did they make such a small amount of money?" Xu Dong frowned.

Xu Ting listened on the sidelines, and couldn't help saying: "More than 50 is still too little? This year, there will be no more than 6 million. Even if your brother-in-law and I work until we are old, we will not be able to earn so much money."

"Sister, this is not the same thing at all, okay!" Xu Dong smiled wryly.

"Second brother, your brother is right, I failed to run the company well." Father Xu echoed.

"Dad, you are already very old, and you can earn 6 million a year, which is already amazing." Xu Ting comforted her quickly.

Father Xu shook his head: "Age is not an excuse, your father is still self-aware."

"Dad, has the company encountered any difficulties?" Xu Dong asked concerned.

"Third brother, your original analysis was correct. The competition in the waste recycling industry is too fierce. Every steel factory is desperately lowering the price, and the profit is getting thinner and thinner." Dad Xu explained.

Although Hongtu Group collects all kinds of waste, the bulk is steel, which accounts for almost [-]% to [-]% of the company's revenue.

Xu Dong thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but suggest: "Dad, I happen to know someone inside a steel factory here, do you want to help you connect?"

"No need, the market is not good right now, so it's useless to find more connections." Dad Xu refused straight away.

"Dad, it won't hurt to try it." Xu Ting helped persuade.

However, Dad Xu just couldn't listen.

Xu Dong looked at his father and tentatively said, "Dad, have you already made up your mind?"

"Yeah!" Dad Xu nodded, "I want to save a profit for two or three years first, and then directly open a small steel factory to form a one-stop industrial chain, and then the profit will increase."

"Uh, how much does it cost to invest in a small steel mill?"

"I've consulted. It shouldn't exceed 10 million. The main reason is that it's troublesome to use water and electricity. However, Manager Yuan promised to help me run the relationship, so it's probably not a problem."

"Dad, you have to think about it. The environmental impact assessment is very strict here in the capital. It is estimated that small steel factories will not be able to pass the approval for building a factory." Xu Dong reminded.

Mama Xu took the opportunity to interject, "Old man, you were talking about Dongzi a few days ago, I think you are more troublesome than the third child."

Dad Xu smiled awkwardly, anyway, it was still early, so the topic was skipped.

Tonight's dinner was over in half an hour. Although the time was short, everyone ate a lot.

"Wow, I'm so full!" Lele sat slumped on the chair with a satisfied face.

Ma Xu was even more unbearable, and lay directly on the sofa. Xu Ting wiped his son's face with a towel, and complained, "I told you to eat less, why are you so disobedient!"

"Mom, if you don't eat more, you won't have a chance in the future." Ma Xu muttered.

"It's not worrying at all."

The triplets had just carried their grandma and mother on their backs, and were fed a lot of meat by their sisters. They were also full. Mama Xu quickly boiled a pot of hawthorn water, and the little ones drank half a bowl each, which made them feel better.
