Manor Romance

Chapter 237

Without Principal Zhu's signal to lead, all the students in the audience, including the guests who watched the ceremony, stood up and applauded warmly. Brother Chen was also shocked by this battle. No one informed him to do the unveiling work, and he did not expect that the school would To bid farewell to himself in this way, he was just joking with Sun Qingze that he would be relaxed after the opening ceremony.

In the enthusiastic atmosphere, Brother Chen stood up in a little panic, and slowly walked towards the high platform under the encouragement of Sun Mei and the others. The most sincere respect from the old teachers.

When passing through the queue of teachers, everyone sent their blessings to this venerable old teacher one by one. Many people hugged him tightly and couldn't stop their tears. It took a long time to finish.

"Oh, I just left in silence. It's really hard for you to spend so much time on me, old man." In the end, old brother Chen patted Yunli on the shoulder and couldn't help sighing. You don't need to guess. Everything was arranged by Yunli for him, and only he has the ability to do it.

"You can't leave here, hurry up, the gift I prepared for you is on it, if you don't appreciate it, I'll cry in public." Yun Li was still hugging Xiaoya, unable to be like everyone else. To hug Brother Chen like that, I had no choice but to reach out and shake him and said with a smile.

"Old teacher, hurry up, you have to go home for a big meal at noon." Xiaoya also said, Brother Chen agreed to Lu Ci's request, and will teach the little guy how to write in the future, and the little guy called him "Old Teacher" ", at her age, she still doesn't understand the meaning of this atmosphere, but she is eager to return.

Brother Chen pinched her little face, and after taking a deep breath, he stepped onto the high platform. Under the guidance of Principal Zhu, he went straight to the bottom of the red cloth on the left. There is only a red rope here. The ceremony was specially arranged for him to complete, and only he deserved such an honor.

"Teacher, what do you want to say to everyone?" Principal Zhu stood behind Brother Chen and asked in a respectful tone.

Brother Chen looked around the audience, shook his head and replied: "Let's start right away. What I want to say has been said for more than 40 years. Students should listen to the voices of different teachers. My mission ends here. .”

"How could it be? Even if you retire, everyone's feelings for you will not change. I still have a lot to learn from you." Principal Zhu comforted him quickly.

Principal Zhu is a resident of Shanhu Town, but his middle school is in Luzhen, and he is a student brought out by Mr. Chen. When he was about to graduate from high school, he hesitated for a while whether to work or go to college to continue his studies. For his studies, he decided to continue his studies after consulting Brother Chen's opinion. After making some achievements, he also gave up the favorable working environment and voluntarily transferred back to Luzhen Middle School to teach. He was successfully promoted to the position of principal a few years ago .

Although he is in a high position, he still has a student attitude towards Brother Chen. Although Yunli first proposed the retirement ceremony, all the details of the process were planned and realized by Principal Zhu.

Principal Zhu raised his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and the prolonged applause slowly subsided. Everyone stood upright, waiting for Brother Chen to uncover the last piece of red cloth. After calming down, he stretched out his hand and pulled it, and the big red cloth fell down in response, revealing the true face behind it.

Different from the nine big characters in the teaching building on the right, the wall here is more concise. There are only three big characters, which are also carved with copper casting and installed. "Teacher's building" is not "dormitory building", but the three golden characters of "manzhulou".

Brother Chen was also very surprised when he saw these three characters. He didn't expect Yunli to do this for him. Even though he was indifferent, his mood also fluctuated. He looked up at these three characters in a daze, Fog suddenly billowed in front of his eyes.

Brother Chen's name is Chen Manzhu, which is very easy to remember. Everyone can understand the meaning of the bamboo building. At the bottom right of the three big characters, there is a column of small characters "Thanks to Mr. Chen Manzhu for his dedication to Luzhen Middle School". When visitors see it, they can also understand the meaning of this full bamboo building.

This bamboo building is a great gift from Yunli to Old Brother Chen. When he was discussing the renovation of Luzhen Middle School with the relevant departments, he generously donated a huge amount of funds, but there was only one request, which was the right to name a building. Come to pay tribute to Brother Chen, as for the gratitude or publicity to Banlu Manor and himself, he doesn't care much about it.

After being silent for a while, the crowd burst into applause again. Brother Chen, who was in a state of trance, also returned to reality. He realized that his eyes were blurred with tears. He turned around and wiped them off, but his emotions were still not calm. After coming down, accompanied by Principal Zhu, he went backstage, and this meaningful opening ceremony came to an end, and Brother Chen's teaching career also came to a successful conclusion.

The opening ceremony of the students is over, but the Banlu Manor’s honorary activities for Brother Chen are still going on. As Xiaoya said, a big meal is being prepared in the manor for everyone to go back to enjoy. Xu Jiali is in charge, and Chen The elder brother is her uncle, and she has spent a long time preparing for this lunch.

Although Xu Jiajin's situation has stabilized a lot, he still needs someone to accompany him, so Huang Yunjuan couldn't get back this time. Brother Chen must understand that their family is developing in an optimistic direction. The relationship between him and Xu Lin It also eased a lot. Even though he lives in the manor now, the two usually meet and even sit together for dinner, but there is no conflict anymore.

After Xu Jiali watched the ceremony, she immediately went back to the manor to start working on lunch. In fact, she started preparing for this lunch more than a week ago, trying to complete all aspects and give her uncle Chen a good memory.

In addition to the people in the manor, the eleven support teachers who came back specially, together with all the teachers of Luzhen Middle School including Principal Zhu, and some old friends in the town who Chen had made good friends and very acquainted folks all came to this lunch Now, they came to the manor one after another, gathered together to talk about various anecdotes.

Most of the teachers had never been to the manor, and they were all novel and amazed by everything here, especially Pan Qing and Jiang Wenfeng, who had visited the manor two years ago, when Yunli's bamboo building had just been built. , only a small part of the cultivated land has been developed, and it is still a very desolate area.

Unexpectedly, in just two years, earth-shaking changes have taken place here. The bamboo buildings are still exquisite, the newly-built office buildings are elegant and elegant, the waterwheels are unique, and the Jifang Garden is even more dazzling. All kinds of fruits and vegetables are wonderful, visually beautiful, and olfactory is also smooth, giving people a sense of freshness and comfort.

Yunli took them around. Due to the limited time, they could only visit a small part of the manor. The terraced fields on the side of Dalu Mountain, the fruit forests in the mountains and many other places could not be presented to them one by one, but it was enough. Let everyone appreciate the unique beauty of Spotted Deer Manor.

Today's lunch is hot pot, which is also Brother Chen's favorite. Although it is not suitable for hot pot at this time of year, if you are willing to spend time on it, you can still have the most flavorful and atmospheric hot pot feast.

Fortunately, today's weather is not hot, cloudy, the sun rarely penetrates the clouds and falls on the ground, and the impact of the typhoon is still there.The lunch location was chosen in the small courtyard on the left side of the office building. There is a promenade trellis here, and gourds, zucchini and other vine-like fruit and vegetable hybrids are covered with it, forming a green corridor. It is a good place to eat, and everyone usually puts chairs here to rest.

The reason why this lunch took so long to prepare is because of the large number of guests, and the lack of various tableware and supplies. Even though all expenses are what Yunli asks for, many things need to be carefully selected, and the most suitable one can only be found after comparison. Yes, take the pot for hot pot as an example. Xu Jiali searched online for a long time and was still not satisfied. Finally, she contacted the store to order it, which shows her good intentions.

Before the food was served, the entire office building area was already enveloped by the strong aroma of the soup. In order to appease their internal organs earlier, everyone joined in the ranks of helping, which made the progress a lot faster.

Eating hot pot pays attention to the atmosphere, and the size of the pot is limited, so it is more suitable to use small and medium-sized tables. One table is suitable for seven or eight people. Eight tables are placed in the corridor to accommodate all people.

Hot pot is an original Chinese food with a long history. According to research, there was a way of eating hot pot in the Eastern Han Dynasty. After it appeared, it quickly spread among the people and even became a famous court dish.

This grand event has not declined for thousands of years, and hot pot is still very popular today, and new ideas are constantly being presented and spread to all parts of the world. People in different regions have different tastes and methods. The most famous one is undoubtedly the spicy spicy spicy. Hot pot, and Yuanyang hot pot with a balanced taste, etc., and Xu Jiali's three-flavored hot pot, that is, there are three different flavors of soup base in one pot, matched with various ingredients, and the choice of taste is very rich.

In the southwest, the spicy soup base is very popular. You can smell this hot and spicy aroma everywhere in the winter season, but what is more popular than the spicy soup base is probably the unique wild yam soup base here. .

There are as many as 30 kinds of ingredients required for this soup base, which can be increased or decreased according to taste, but some core ingredients with medicinal value cannot be less or more, and the maximum effect can only be exerted according to a specific formula. Although there are ready-made soup packs available in the market, which are simple and convenient, Xu Jiali still collects various ingredients and cooks the soup base by herself.
