The wealthy man's wife is a sideline [rebirth]
Chapter 9 Crispy Tofu and Tomato Meatball Soup
After Luo Yunshen visited the Su family, Su Qiao also made a special trip to the Luo family.
Luo's father looks majestic, with an indifferent expression, giving people the impression that he is very similar to Luo Yunshen, while Luo's mother is much gentler, and when she came up, she smiled and called Su Qiao by her nickname—from what Luo Xingzhu said—and then gave her a red envelope. he.
Su Qiao was embarrassed to hold back, and shrank her hands to hide behind Luo Yunshen.
Mother Luo looked at him with a smile, her voice was soft: "What's the matter. The amount is not too big, it's just a good intention, what can I do if I don't want it?"
Father Luo also nodded at the side: "Take it."
Father Luo spoke as if giving orders, Su Qiao was stunned, and subconsciously stretched out her hand.
Mother Luo quickly stuffed the red envelope into his hand.
Su Qiao accepted the meeting gift, and Mother Luo was happy.She looked at Su Qiao up and down, no matter how she looked, she was satisfied. She felt that Su Qiao was good-looking, with big eyes and a high nose bridge, and even the curled up hair on her head was pleasing to the eye.
Mother Luo couldn't help but reached out and rubbed Su Qiao's slightly fat cheeks.
Luo Yun looked deeply and cleared his throat seemingly unintentionally.
Mother Luo: "..."
She glanced at her son, took Su Qiao's arm, and asked, "Jiujiu is still in school?"
Su Qiao sat down properly, put her hands on her knees, straightened her back, and replied seriously: "I'm going to be a junior this year, and now I'm on summer vacation."
Seeing his appearance as a good student, Luo's mother wanted to laugh a little: "Then Jiujiu's grades must be good."
Su Qiao blinked, and suddenly showed an expression of grievance or distress, with a hint of resignation, and whispered: "I have tried my best, but my grades... are not very good."
Originally, his grades were barely passable, but after being imprisoned for two years, he was reborn and forgot everything.
It is very difficult to read textbooks now, and my grades will probably plummet next semester.
Thinking of this, Su Qiao couldn't help sighing sadly, and thought again: Su Yu is really annoying.
His sad appearance is not to mention how cute it is in the eyes of others.For a moment, not only Luo's mother couldn't help but laugh, even Luo Yunshen and Luo's father raised the corners of their mouths.
Mother Luo hurriedly comforted him: "It's fine if you work hard. Everyone has things that they are not good at. How can there be perfection?"
Su Qiao also felt the same, so she nodded in agreement.
……
Both parties visited each other, and then the elders met to discuss the wedding.
The industry under the name of the Luo family has set foot in the hotel, so they decided to manage it by themselves. They can strictly control every link, so they are much more at ease than outsiders.
In Jincheng, the Luo family's status is detached, and the Su family's status is not bad. There will definitely be reporters visiting on the wedding day.If something goes wrong in the middle, it will not only leave regrets, but also be regarded as a laughing stock, so everything must be cautious.
Mother Luo and Mother Su used to meet each other at gatherings, and they were no strangers to each other. They chatted better after they had a common goal. They discussed everything from the wedding process, guest list, what flowers to decorate, and what brand of dress to wear. .
Father Luo and Father Su couldn't get in the way, so they could only drink tea in silence, and occasionally glanced at each other, both showing expressions of nothing.
The wedding needs to be prepared in advance, and the official ceremony is scheduled for three months later.
Su Qiao: "Does it take so long?"
Mother Luo smiled and said: "It's already very rushed, and many things need time to prepare. Custom diamond rings, dresses, three months is still fast, some decorative flowers are not in season, and the quantity is small, so others need to cultivate them in advance. The wedding is just right. Use it."
Su Qiao didn't understand these things, so she nodded half-understood.After calculating the time, it is now July, so the wedding will have to wait until October, which is still far away.
"We can help with everything else, but you have to decide the ring yourself." Su Mu said. "As soon as possible, or there will be no ring at the wedding."
Su Qiao said: "Then why don't you just buy a pair of ready-made ones..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Su's mother gave him a glance: "Go, go, children, how can you be careless in this kind of thing. Listen to Xiao Luo, don't make up your mind."
Su Qiao: "..."
He touched his nose, and asked Luo Yunshen obediently: "Mr. Luo, what about the ring?"
Luo Yun pondered for a moment, and said: "The subsidiary has a cooperative jewelry brand that can provide customized services. What do you want for the ring?"
"Hmm—" Su Qiao propped her chin and thought for a while. "Just don't be too conspicuous."
He'd have to go to school then, and it wouldn't be good if the ring was too big to attract attention.Although getting married is not a shameful thing, but after all, a small number of people get married in college, and they will be surrounded by curious eyes.
It's best to keep a low profile.
Luo Yunshen nodded in agreement, and said, "We will live together after we get married. I have an apartment in the city center, and I need to buy more household items."
Su Qiao nodded: "Yeah."
Luo Yunshen: "..."
Su Qiao: "..."
The two looked at each other in silence.Su Qiao was in a daze, not knowing why Mr. Luo stared at her hesitantly.
Mother Luo laughed, and then said: "Jiujiu, he is asking for your opinion. You two's family should not be the only one making decisions, and there must be something you like."
Su Qiao said "ah" and scratched her head.He glanced at Su's mother, slowly moved the stool to Luo Yunshen's side, and then said in a low voice, "Can I have a game room?"
Luo Yunshen: "Yes."
Su Qiao cheered in her heart, tugged at Luo Yunshen's sleeve, and smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Luo."
Luo Yunshen: "Yes." He turned to look at Su Qiao, and stroked her hair for the first time.
In mid-July, Su Qiao picked out the one she liked the most from several design drafts and decided it as a wedding ring.
The silver ring is slightly wider than ordinary rings, the upper and lower edges are raised, and the lines are neat and crisp. The L and S intersect and transform into a decorative pattern for a chic look.The whole is actually more like a decorative ring.
Su Qiao was very satisfied with this. He felt that he was a boy, and wearing a ring with a big diamond was a bit strange, not as good-looking as this simple one.
He settled the matter of the ring, and then sent a message to chat with Luo Yunshen, mostly talking about some company affairs. Su Qiao didn't quite understand, but he was very interested.Sometimes when asked some questions, Luo Yunshen would answer them in detail.
After a while, Luo Yunshen had something to go to a meeting, so Su Qiao didn't bother, and went downstairs to get something to eat.
Now he doesn't like to eat the meals cooked by the chef at home. He always has to cook one or two dishes for each meal to get his appetite.Su's father and Su's mother recognized his craftsmanship very much, and they were naturally happy to see his success.
Su Qiao opened the refrigerator and looked, and found that there were fresh tofu, bright red tomatoes, and minced pork.Most of the rest have been eaten recently, and these three are relatively fresh, so I decided to use them.
Su's father and Su Yu were in the company, Su's mother invited a friend to go to the beauty salon together, and Su Qiao was left alone at home.The chef knew that Su Qiao didn't like to eat food made by others, so he didn't prepare lunch, just to avoid waste.
It doesn't need too many dishes for one person to eat. You can make crispy tofu with tomato meatball soup, which is light and delicious.
After making up her mind, Su Qiao went to stew the rice first, and then deal with other ingredients.
Marinate the minced pork with salt, light soy sauce and pepper, cut the top of the tomato into a cross shape, scald it in boiling water and peel off the skin.
Su Qiao likes tomatoes very much, and thinks they are delicious with anything.It is full and refreshing when eaten raw, and it is not inferior to specially cultivated fruits. When cooking, it is delicious with meat and vegetables.
When the peeled tomato is cut open, the reddish dripping juice overflows, and there is a slightly sour smell.Su Qiao took one slice immediately after cutting it, but felt that it was not enough, so she took another slice.
One piece after another, a lot of tomatoes were eaten before they were put into the pot.
When Su Qiao was about to reach out again, she saw that half of the tomatoes that were full just now were left. She was afraid that the soup would not taste good without the tomatoes, so she hurriedly cut another one.
This time he didn't steal it anymore, for the sake of the tomato meatball soup, he could bear it for a while.
Cut the tofu into one-finger-wide pieces and arrange them neatly on the plate, then cut the green onion.
The flame licks the bottom of the pot, gradually increasing the oil temperature.Su Qiao hung her palm over the pot, felt the temperature, and put the tofu in when she felt that it was almost ready.
The cubes of tofu cut into squares are squeezed together and make a "crackling" sound as soon as they are put into the pot.
When the tofu was set, Su Qiao took a spatula and chopsticks and flipped them piece by piece.The side close to the bottom of the pot has turned a beautiful golden yellow, and the chopsticks will sink into it with a "crack".Frying in hot oil makes the tofu fluffy on the inside, full of tiny holes, and crispy on the outside.
When both sides turned an attractive golden color, Su Qiao took out the tofu, left the oil in the pan, and then poured in the prepared sauce.The process of this dish is simple, the sauce is boiled until it becomes thick, and then the tofu is put into the pot, and the sauce is collected on high heat, and the sauce is completed.
The fried tofu is crispy on the outside and soaked with sauce inside, which is very tasty.
The tomato on the other side of the pot has been cooking for a long time, and now the soup has turned red, and the melted tomato particles can be seen when it is turned, and it is almost boiled away.
The meatballs jumped into the soup one by one, and changed their clothes in an instant, from raw red to coquettish white.When it sinks and floats, it is hung with tomato soup, which is delicious and tender.
Finally, green onions are sprinkled on, and the fragrance becomes stronger at once.
When the two dishes were served, the rice was ready. Su Qiao filled a bowl of rice and sat at the dining table to eat slowly.
Halfway through the meal, there was a noise from the living room. Su Qiao took a look and thought it was an aunt invited by the family, so she didn't care.A few seconds later, Su Guoan walked to the restaurant following the smell, with sweat still on his forehead: "What are you eating? It smells sour and delicious!"
Su Qiao ate a meatball before saying: "Tomato meatball soup, and crispy tofu. I have cooked too much rice and can't finish the dishes. Dad, would you like some?"
Of course Su Guoan would not refuse.He sat down at the table, let out a long breath, and while waiting for his younger son to serve him a meal, he couldn't help poking a meatball with a toothpick from the toothpick jar on the table.
The pork balls are plump and firm, and the sour taste of the tomato makes it not greasy at all. Before cooking, a small amount of rice wine is mixed with it to remove the fishy smell, so it is fresh and tender after cooking.Probably due to the use of pork, there is no disappointing taste of starch at all.But how can it be so tender without starch?Absolutely nothing!
Originally, Su Guoan had no appetite because of the hot weather, but now he was stimulated by the smell of tomatoes, and suddenly felt very hungry again.
Su Qiao handed him the rice, and Su Guoan picked up a piece of crispy tofu and ate it with gusto.
The tofu is still crispy on all sides, and the inside is full of soup. When you bite down, you can feel a mouthful of fresh soup in your mouth, and then the tofu itself is light and sweet.Both taste and taste are almost perfect.
Su Guoan smacked his lips contentedly and gorged himself.
The father and son cleared up the dishes and soup, and sat at the dining table to relax.Only then did Su Qiao remember and ask, "Why did you come home suddenly at noon?"
Su Guoan drank water to moisten his throat, and then said: "A document has been left at home, and it will be used in the afternoon. It is a big order. If it is signed, this quarter's profit will exceed that of the previous quarter. When the time comes, the delivery will be made and the payment will arrive. Dad Maybe I can give you a big gift for your wedding. Do you want a house or a car? Or buy them all for you?"
Su Qiao put away the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen, and said loudly, "Nothing!"
Su Guoan had already made up his mind to buy it for him, so he didn't ask any more, thinking about it in his own mind.
While Su Qiao was washing the dishes, she heard the sound of splashing water and Su Guoan's voice, which was mostly covered up, talking to herself. The corners of her mouth kept rising, and she even hummed a song.
When Su's father mentioned the name of the cooperative company, Su Qiao suddenly froze, and the plate in his hand hit the edge of the pool and broke.
Su Guoan heard the movement and followed to see: "Did you fall while washing the dishes?"
"No." Su Qiao turned her head and smiled at him, with a disturbed expression on her face. "Just took a bite, it's okay."
Seeing that his expression was not right, Su Guoan stepped forward to look.After confirming that his son's hands were not injured, he was relieved, and said, "It's not a big deal, why are you so scared. Are you feeling unwell?"
Su Qiao shook her head and said nothing.He lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "Father, this cooperation... can we not talk about it?"
Su Guoan was a little surprised: "What? Jiujiu doesn't feel good?"
Su Qiao didn't know what to say.
Only he can believe that he was reborn once.Anyone who tells it is like an imaginary experience.Because he couldn't produce a single bit of evidence to prove that he had indeed experienced those two dark years and returned to his own body after death.
Su Qiao could only falter and say: "This list is too big...I'm a little worried."
Su Guoan laughed when he heard this. He rubbed the top of his son's head and said, "What's the matter? In the mall, how can you not take risks? Your father and I have been in business for so many years. This point You still have confidence. Don’t worry, just wait for Dad to buy you a gift.”
Su Qiao opened her mouth to say something else, but Su Guoan raised his hand to check the time and went upstairs.
He could only lean against the sink and be in a daze alone.
The list is really big.Su Qiao remembered that it was an import and export trading company who came to negotiate the order. Because they wanted to enter the foreign market, they planned to purchase large quantities of domestic and local products for export.
The canned food and table sauces operated by the Su family are fairly well-known in China and are a regular item in many people's homes, but they are almost impossible to find abroad, and the market is blank.
If the deal is concluded, it will not only make more profits this quarter, but also expand the brand awareness abroad.
From the results point of view, it is very beneficial.
But Su Qiao has experienced what happened in his previous life, and he knows that there are variables behind it.
Everything was going well until the eve of delivery, when Su Guoan randomly checked the quality according to the usual practice, but found that the taste of this batch of products was not right at all. Whether it was canned food or sauce, the original flavor was destroyed and it became difficult to eat.
At this time, it was too late to reprocess. Su Guoan explained the matter to the trading company, and begged the other party to give it a period of time, so that enough food would be produced.
Of course, it is impossible for the other party to agree, and if they fail to deliver the goods according to the time agreed in the contract, no matter how much Su Guoan has difficulties, for the trading company, it means that its own interests have been damaged.
So the two sides started a lawsuit to determine the amount of compensation.The Su family's company has invested a lot of manpower and material resources to produce this batch of goods, and the cost should not be underestimated.In addition, the amount of compensation was not low, and the company's cash flow was emptied at once, making it very difficult to turn around.
It can be said that this cooperation is the trigger for the decline of the Su family.
Su Qiao didn't know the specifics at the time. Su's father and Su's mother felt that he was still in school and shouldn't worry about these things, so they deliberately concealed it.Su Qiao still learned the news through outside reports, but she only knew that the Su family suffered a serious loss, and she didn't know who was in it and what role it played.
Later, when she was locked up, Su Qiao finally figured it out a little bit.This incident probably has something to do with Su Yu.
No one but him could have tampered with that whole shipment so easily.
Su Qiao is still in school and has not worked in the Su family's company, nor does she plan to do so in the future.He is innocent by nature, the kind of person who has no big ambitions. He already feels very satisfied with his current life, and is very willing to be a happy little salted fish for the rest of his life under the protection of his family.
Su Yu is different. He is willing to express himself and has ambitions.
Su's father and Su's mother knew the personalities of the two sons, so they didn't force them, and left it to them to make their own decisions.
Su Yu joined his own company, and his position is not low now.It would make perfect sense if he colluded with individual employees to destroy the shipment.
Su Qiao sighed in distress, thought for a long time, but had no idea, so she had to go upstairs.
He didn't make a fuss to prevent Su's father from signing the contract, because Su Qiao knew that the problem was not in the contract, but in the batch of goods produced.If quality problems can be avoided and the delivery is on schedule, then this order will not have any bad impact on the Su family.
what else can we do?There are so many employees in the company...
Su Qiao was lying on the bed, hugging the soft pillow, staring blankly out of the window while thinking hard.
Not long after, he fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Luo Yunshen came to pick up Su Qiao to buy home decoration for the wedding room and daily necessities after he moved there.
Su Qiao thought about her past life experience the day before, and dreamed that she was locked up at night. After waking up in the middle of the night, she didn't close her eyes very much. Now she is still a little sleepy.
After he got into the car, he put on his seat belt and leaned back quietly, with his head turned to the other side.
Luo Yunshen thought that Su Qiao was looking at the scenery along the way, so he didn't speak.When she got to the place and was about to get off the car, she realized that Su Qiao had fallen asleep at some point.
The sun hit his eyelashes, making him look quiet and peaceful.
Probably because she slept peacefully, Su Qiao's cheeks were puffed up, the corners of her mouth were slightly turned up, looking like a child.
Luo Yunshen didn't wake him up, but turned his phone to silent and processed the received emails.
After about twenty minutes, Su Qiao woke up by herself.Sleeping in the car is a little hard to stretch out, not as comfortable as the bed. When he opened his eyes, he felt his back was a little stiff, and he struggled to move a few times, his face full of confusion as if he had just woken up.
Then he turned his head to look, and met Luo Yunshen's gaze.
Su Qiao: "..."
He suddenly remembered that this was still in the car.Mr. Luo brought him here for shopping, and he fell asleep on such a short journey!Did you waste Mr. Luo's time?
It felt a little... humiliating.
Su Qiao was silent for two seconds, her ears were red, and she said nervously, "I'm sorry, I fell asleep."
Luo Yunshen frowned when he heard him speak.
Why an apology again?
He looked Su Qiao up and down, and found that the other party's eyelashes were trembling, obviously a little uneasy, as if he was afraid.
This discovery made Luo Yunshen a little displeased, but he didn't say anything, just said lightly: "Get out of the car."
Su Qiao nodded quickly.
The two went in together, and began to look at all kinds of fabrics.
Luo Yunshen's apartment in the city center cost a lot of money to decorate, but the overall style is just like his own, cold and simple, good-looking but not lifelike.
Luo's mother was afraid that Su Qiao would not be used to living here, so she specially told Luo Yunshen to choose more things that young people like to put in.Don't make your home look like a hotel.
Su Qiao walked around in the pile of cloth products and saw a plush blanket.The velvet on the top is long and soft, and it feels comfortable to the touch. The overall color is very stable dark blue, and the four corners are decorated with triangular metal.
"Can I buy this?" Su Qiao looked at Luo Yunshen with bright eyes. "It's in the game room, I can sit on it and play games, and lie down when I'm tired, it must be very comfortable!"
Luo Yunshen involuntarily imagined the scene, then nodded in agreement.
The shopping guide stood quietly on the side, with a polite smile on his face, and when he heard them say to order a plush blanket, he wrote down the item number.
Su Qiao likes the light yellow color of logs very much, and specially bought rattan decorations painted like this.When passing by the wooden hanging chair, he turned his head to look at Luo Yunshen again, with expectation in his eyes.
Luo Yunshen: "This is not suitable for indoors."
Su Qiao said "Oh", a little disappointed, but she didn't force it. She glanced at the hanging chair and prepared to move forward.
Luo Yunshen pressed his shoulders, and said: "But the apartment has a large terrace, which extends out, and the sun is usually very sunny."
Su Qiao blinked twice, and realized that she could buy this wooden hanging chair.
He glanced at the man next to him in some puzzlement, wondering if Mr. Luo said the sentence twice on purpose just now?Is this teasing him?
However, such thoughts only appeared for a moment, and Su Qiao looked at Luo Yunshen's cold expression, and she was sure that she was thinking too much.
After shopping for household items, Su Qiao went to look at the things she might use in her daily life.Slippers, bath towels, pajamas...
He was counting what he wanted to buy with his fingers in his heart, when he suddenly looked up, he saw a huge doll rabbit not far away.
Su Qiao suddenly said "ah".
The doll rabbit was as tall as an adult, sewn from flannel, and stuffed with a lot of soft and fluffy stuffing to make it look bulging.The upper limbs of the doll are stretched forward, begging for a hug, and the two rabbit ears are hanging down, looking pitiful.
Su Qiao didn't feel sympathy for a doll, he was just thinking, can I buy this rabbit and sleep with it?
With such a large size, it feels very safe at first glance.
In this way, when he was awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night, he would feel a soft and real touch as soon as he stretched out his hand, reminding him that he was no longer in that small room.
Su Qiao made up her mind and immediately said happily: "I want to buy this, I can hold it at night."
These are Su Qiao's own items, different from carpets and hanging chairs, which belong to shared items, so he did not seek Luo Yunshen's opinion.
Beside him, Luo Yunshen looked at the big rabbit, feeling that dolls were an eyesore for no reason.
Luo's father looks majestic, with an indifferent expression, giving people the impression that he is very similar to Luo Yunshen, while Luo's mother is much gentler, and when she came up, she smiled and called Su Qiao by her nickname—from what Luo Xingzhu said—and then gave her a red envelope. he.
Su Qiao was embarrassed to hold back, and shrank her hands to hide behind Luo Yunshen.
Mother Luo looked at him with a smile, her voice was soft: "What's the matter. The amount is not too big, it's just a good intention, what can I do if I don't want it?"
Father Luo also nodded at the side: "Take it."
Father Luo spoke as if giving orders, Su Qiao was stunned, and subconsciously stretched out her hand.
Mother Luo quickly stuffed the red envelope into his hand.
Su Qiao accepted the meeting gift, and Mother Luo was happy.She looked at Su Qiao up and down, no matter how she looked, she was satisfied. She felt that Su Qiao was good-looking, with big eyes and a high nose bridge, and even the curled up hair on her head was pleasing to the eye.
Mother Luo couldn't help but reached out and rubbed Su Qiao's slightly fat cheeks.
Luo Yun looked deeply and cleared his throat seemingly unintentionally.
Mother Luo: "..."
She glanced at her son, took Su Qiao's arm, and asked, "Jiujiu is still in school?"
Su Qiao sat down properly, put her hands on her knees, straightened her back, and replied seriously: "I'm going to be a junior this year, and now I'm on summer vacation."
Seeing his appearance as a good student, Luo's mother wanted to laugh a little: "Then Jiujiu's grades must be good."
Su Qiao blinked, and suddenly showed an expression of grievance or distress, with a hint of resignation, and whispered: "I have tried my best, but my grades... are not very good."
Originally, his grades were barely passable, but after being imprisoned for two years, he was reborn and forgot everything.
It is very difficult to read textbooks now, and my grades will probably plummet next semester.
Thinking of this, Su Qiao couldn't help sighing sadly, and thought again: Su Yu is really annoying.
His sad appearance is not to mention how cute it is in the eyes of others.For a moment, not only Luo's mother couldn't help but laugh, even Luo Yunshen and Luo's father raised the corners of their mouths.

Mother Luo smiled and said: "It's already very rushed, and many things need time to prepare. Custom diamond rings, dresses, three months is still fast, some decorative flowers are not in season, and the quantity is small, so others need to cultivate them in advance.

The flame licks the bottom of the pot, gradually increasing the oil temperature.Su Qiao hung her palm over the pot, felt the temperature, and put the tofu in when she felt that it was almost ready.
The cubes of tofu cut into squares are squeezed together and make a "crackling" sound as soon as they are put into the pot.
When the tofu was set, Su Qiao took a spatula and chopsticks and flipped them piece by piece.The side close to the bottom of the pot has turned a beautiful golden yellow, and the chopsticks will sink into it with a "crack".Frying in hot oil makes the tofu fluffy on the inside, full of tiny holes, and crispy on the outside.
When both sides turned an attractive golden color, Su Qiao took out the tofu, left the oil in the pan, and then poured in the prepared sauce.The process of this dish is simple, the sauce is boiled until it becomes thick, and then the tofu is put into the pot, and the sauce is collected on high heat, and the sauce is completed.
The fried tofu is crispy on the outside and soaked with sauce inside, which is very tasty.
The tomato on the other side of the pot has been cooking for a long time, and now the soup has turned red, and the melted tomato particles can be seen when it is turned, and it is almost boiled away.
The meatballs jumped into the soup one by one, and changed their clothes in an instant, from raw red to coquettish white.When it sinks and floats, it is hung with tomato soup, which is delicious and tender.
Finally, green onions are sprinkled on, and the fragrance becomes stronger at once.
When the two dishes were served, the rice was ready. Su Qiao filled a bowl of rice and sat at the dining table to eat slowly.
Halfway through the meal, there was a noise from the living room. Su Qiao took a look and thought it was an aunt invited by the family, so she didn't care.A few seconds later, Su Guoan walked to the restaurant following the smell, with sweat still on his forehead: "What are you eating? It smells sour and delicious!"
Su Qiao ate a meatball before saying: "Tomato meatball soup, and crispy tofu. I have cooked too much rice and can't finish the dishes. Dad, would you like some?"
Of course Su Guoan would not refuse.He sat down at the table, let out a long breath, and while waiting for his younger son to serve him a meal, he couldn't help poking a meatball with a toothpick from the toothpick jar on the table.
The pork balls are plump and firm, and the sour taste of the tomato makes it not greasy at all. Before cooking, a small amount of rice wine is mixed with it to remove the fishy smell, so it is fresh and tender after cooking.Probably due to the use of pork, there is no disappointing taste of starch at all.But how can it be so tender without starch?Absolutely nothing!
Originally, Su Guoan had no appetite because of the hot weather, but now he was stimulated by the smell of tomatoes, and suddenly felt very hungry again.
Su Qiao handed him the rice, and Su Guoan picked up a piece of crispy tofu and ate it with gusto.
The tofu is still crispy on all sides, and the inside is full of soup. When you bite down, you can feel a mouthful of fresh soup in your mouth, and then the tofu itself is light and sweet.Both taste and taste are almost perfect.
Su Guoan smacked his lips contentedly and gorged himself.
The father and son cleared up the dishes and soup, and sat at the dining table to relax.Only then did Su Qiao remember and ask, "Why did you come home suddenly at noon?"
Su Guoan drank water to moisten his throat, and then said: "A document has been left at home, and it will be used in the afternoon. It is a big order. If it is signed, this quarter's profit will exceed that of the previous quarter. When the time comes, the delivery will be made and the payment will arrive. Dad Maybe I can give you a big gift for your wedding. Do you want a house or a car? Or buy them all for you?"
Su Qiao put away the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen, and said loudly, "Nothing!"
Su Guoan had already made up his mind to buy it for him, so he didn't ask any more, thinking about it in his own mind.
While Su Qiao was washing the dishes, she heard the sound of splashing water and Su Guoan's voice, which was mostly covered up, talking to herself. The corners of her mouth kept rising, and she even hummed a song.
When Su's father mentioned the name of the cooperative company, Su Qiao suddenly froze, and the plate in his hand hit the edge of the pool and broke.
Su Guoan heard the movement and followed to see: "Did you fall while washing the dishes?"
"No." Su Qiao turned her head and smiled at him, with a disturbed expression on her face. "Just took a bite, it's okay."
Seeing that his expression was not right, Su Guoan stepped forward to look.After confirming that his son's hands were not injured, he was relieved, and said, "It's not a big deal, why are you so scared. Are you feeling unwell?"
Su Qiao shook her head and said nothing.He lowered his head and thought for a while before saying, "Father, this cooperation... can we not talk about it?"
Su Guoan was a little surprised: "What? Jiujiu doesn't feel good?"
Su Qiao didn't know what to say.
Only he can believe that he was reborn once.Anyone who tells it is like an imaginary experience.Because he couldn't produce a single bit of evidence to prove that he had indeed experienced those two dark years and returned to his own body after death.
Su Qiao could only falter and say: "This list is too big...I'm a little worried."
Su Guoan laughed when he heard this. He rubbed the top of his son's head and said, "What's the matter? In the mall, how can you not take risks? Your father and I have been in business for so many years. This point You still have confidence. Don’t worry, just wait for Dad to buy you a gift.”
Su Qiao opened her mouth to say something else, but Su Guoan raised his hand to check the time and went upstairs.
He could only lean against the sink and be in a daze alone.
The list is really big.Su Qiao remembered that it was an import and export trading company who came to negotiate the order. Because they wanted to enter the foreign market, they planned to purchase large quantities of domestic and local products for export.
The canned food and table sauces operated by the Su family are fairly well-known in China and are a regular item in many people's homes, but they are almost impossible to find abroad, and the market is blank.
If the deal is concluded, it will not only make more profits this quarter, but also expand the brand awareness abroad.
From the results point of view, it is very beneficial.
But Su Qiao has experienced what happened in his previous life, and he knows that there are variables behind it.
Everything was going well until the eve of delivery, when Su Guoan randomly checked the quality according to the usual practice, but found that the taste of this batch of products was not right at all. Whether it was canned food or sauce, the original flavor was destroyed and it became difficult to eat.
At this time, it was too late to reprocess. Su Guoan explained the matter to the trading company, and begged the other party to give it a period of time, so that enough food would be produced.
Of course, it is impossible for the other party to agree, and if they fail to deliver the goods according to the time agreed in the contract, no matter how much Su Guoan has difficulties, for the trading company, it means that its own interests have been damaged.
So the two sides started a lawsuit to determine the amount of compensation.The Su family's company has invested a lot of manpower and material resources to produce this batch of goods, and the cost should not be underestimated.In addition, the amount of compensation was not low, and the company's cash flow was emptied at once, making it very difficult to turn around.
It can be said that this cooperation is the trigger for the decline of the Su family.
Su Qiao didn't know the specifics at the time. Su's father and Su's mother felt that he was still in school and shouldn't worry about these things, so they deliberately concealed it.Su Qiao still learned the news through outside reports, but she only knew that the Su family suffered a serious loss, and she didn't know who was in it and what role it played.
Later, when she was locked up, Su Qiao finally figured it out a little bit.This incident probably has something to do with Su Yu.
No one but him could have tampered with that whole shipment so easily.
Su Qiao is still in school and has not worked in the Su family's company, nor does she plan to do so in the future.He is innocent by nature, the kind of person who has no big ambitions. He already feels very satisfied with his current life, and is very willing to be a happy little salted fish for the rest of his life under the protection of his family.
Su Yu is different. He is willing to express himself and has ambitions.
Su's father and Su's mother knew the personalities of the two sons, so they didn't force them, and left it to them to make their own decisions.
Su Yu joined his own company, and his position is not low now.It would make perfect sense if he colluded with individual employees to destroy the shipment.
Su Qiao sighed in distress, thought for a long time, but had no idea, so she had to go upstairs.
He didn't make a fuss to prevent Su's father from signing the contract, because Su Qiao knew that the problem was not in the contract, but in the batch of goods produced.If quality problems can be avoided and the delivery is on schedule, then this order will not have any bad impact on the Su family.
what else can we do?There are so many employees in the company...
Su Qiao was lying on the bed, hugging the soft pillow, staring blankly out of the window while thinking hard.
Not long after, he fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, Luo Yunshen came to pick up Su Qiao to buy home decoration for the wedding room and daily necessities after he moved there.
Su Qiao thought about her past life experience the day before, and dreamed that she was locked up at night. After waking up in the middle of the night, she didn't close her eyes very much. Now she is still a little sleepy.
After he got into the car, he put on his seat belt and leaned back quietly, with his head turned to the other side.
Luo Yunshen thought that Su Qiao was looking at the scenery along the way, so he didn't speak.When she got to the place and was about to get off the car, she realized that Su Qiao had fallen asleep at some point.
The sun hit his eyelashes, making him look quiet and peaceful.
Probably because she slept peacefully, Su Qiao's cheeks were puffed up, the corners of her mouth were slightly turned up, looking like a child.
Luo Yunshen didn't wake him up, but turned his phone to silent and processed the received emails.
After about twenty minutes, Su Qiao woke up by herself.Sleeping in the car is a little hard to stretch out, not as comfortable as the bed. When he opened his eyes, he felt his back was a little stiff, and he struggled to move a few times, his face full of confusion as if he had just woken up.
Then he turned his head to look, and met Luo Yunshen's gaze.
Su Qiao: "..."
He suddenly remembered that this was still in the car.Mr. Luo brought him here for shopping, and he fell asleep on such a short journey!Did you waste Mr. Luo's time?
It felt a little... humiliating.
Su Qiao was silent for two seconds, her ears were red, and she said nervously, "I'm sorry, I fell asleep."
Luo Yunshen frowned when he heard him speak.
Why an apology again?
He looked Su Qiao up and down, and found that the other party's eyelashes were trembling, obviously a little uneasy, as if he was afraid.
This discovery made Luo Yunshen a little displeased, but he didn't say anything, just said lightly: "Get out of the car."
Su Qiao nodded quickly.
The two went in together, and began to look at all kinds of fabrics.
Luo Yunshen's apartment in the city center cost a lot of money to decorate, but the overall style is just like his own, cold and simple, good-looking but not lifelike.
Luo's mother was afraid that Su Qiao would not be used to living here, so she specially told Luo Yunshen to choose more things that young people like to put in.Don't make your home look like a hotel.
Su Qiao walked around in the pile of cloth products and saw a plush blanket.The velvet on the top is long and soft, and it feels comfortable to the touch. The overall color is very stable dark blue, and the four corners are decorated with triangular metal.
"Can I buy this?" Su Qiao looked at Luo Yunshen with bright eyes. "It's in the game room, I can sit on it and play games, and lie down when I'm tired, it must be very comfortable!"
Luo Yunshen involuntarily imagined the scene, then nodded in agreement.
The shopping guide stood quietly on the side, with a polite smile on his face, and when he heard them say to order a plush blanket, he wrote down the item number.
Su Qiao likes the light yellow color of logs very much, and specially bought rattan decorations painted like this.When passing by the wooden hanging chair, he turned his head to look at Luo Yunshen again, with expectation in his eyes.
Luo Yunshen: "This is not suitable for indoors."
Su Qiao said "Oh", a little disappointed, but she didn't force it. She glanced at the hanging chair and prepared to move forward.
Luo Yunshen pressed his shoulders, and said: "But the apartment has a large terrace, which extends out, and the sun is usually very sunny."
Su Qiao blinked twice, and realized that she could buy this wooden hanging chair.
He glanced at the man next to him in some puzzlement, wondering if Mr. Luo said the sentence twice on purpose just now?Is this teasing him?
However, such thoughts only appeared for a moment, and Su Qiao looked at Luo Yunshen's cold expression, and she was sure that she was thinking too much.
After shopping for household items, Su Qiao went to look at the things she might use in her daily life.Slippers, bath towels, pajamas...
He was counting what he wanted to buy with his fingers in his heart, when he suddenly looked up, he saw a huge doll rabbit not far away.
Su Qiao suddenly said "ah".
The doll rabbit was as tall as an adult, sewn from flannel, and stuffed with a lot of soft and fluffy stuffing to make it look bulging.The upper limbs of the doll are stretched forward, begging for a hug, and the two rabbit ears are hanging down, looking pitiful.
Su Qiao didn't feel sympathy for a doll, he was just thinking, can I buy this rabbit and sleep with it?
With such a large size, it feels very safe at first glance.
In this way, when he was awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night, he would feel a soft and real touch as soon as he stretched out his hand, reminding him that he was no longer in that small room.
Su Qiao made up her mind and immediately said happily: "I want to buy this, I can hold it at night."
These are Su Qiao's own items, different from carpets and hanging chairs, which belong to shared items, so he did not seek Luo Yunshen's opinion.
Beside him, Luo Yunshen looked at the big rabbit, feeling that dolls were an eyesore for no reason.
