975: All Apprentices Honor You (2 More)
The master is the teacher.
Respecting teachers and valuing Tao is a Chinese tradition.
Xia Xiaolan didn't think it was an insult to kowtow and serve tea.
It's like a New Year's greeting to the elders.
She happily knelt down and kowtowed, holding the tea on the table in front of Mao Kangshan, without any hesitation.
Xia Xiaolan kowtowed three times in a row, and Mao Kangshan took three sips in a row.
"Okay, get up now!"
"Hey, thank you master for your understanding!"
Xia Xiaolan got up and waved at Ge Jian, "Ge Jian, this will be my teacher from now on. If Teacher Mao has any orders, you should take it as my opinion, and you must do it for Teacher Mao!"
"Okay, Miss Xia. Teacher Mao, if you have something to do, you can give me an order."
Ge Jian doesn't talk much, but he has enough rules.
He actually knew that when Miss Xia was going to open a new company to build a house and sell it, he and his senior brother Li Dongliang would probably be separated. Li Dongliang followed Liu Yong, and he still followed Xia Xiaolan.
Ge Jian had no objection, anyway, he followed Miss Xia at first.
Miss Xia taught him and his senior brother to do errands, and then temporarily placed him in Yuanhui. Ge Jian has no problem with following Liu Yong. Liu Yong values him and Li Dongliang very much, but deep down, he still wants to follow Xia Xiaolan.
Whether Miss Xia's new company can do well depends on the black and thin Mao Kangshan in front of her.
Miss Xia said that if you want to get something, you have to pay first. Don't be too fussy, expecting to get first and then pay. Reversing the order will result in twice the result with half the effort. To please Mao Kangshan, Ge Jian is also bound to.
As soon as Xia Xiaolan arrived, Mao Kangshan was more frightened than in a whole year.
There were only two more people in the originally deserted room, Ge Jian, who was still silent, and Xia Xiaolan who was chatting.
When she came, it was like shutting up a lark in the Maokang Mountain House.
She speaks nicely and her voice is sweet, even if she knew she was flattering, she couldn't help but flattering just right, so people couldn't refuse.
Mao Kangshan looked at the pile of things in the living room, which made him uncomfortable.
"The apprenticeship ceremony is not too expensive. What did you buy?"
Xia Xiaolan took out a big red post from her backpack.
"See for yourself."
Mao Kangshan did not expect her to do such a trick.
There is nothing he can't bear, he has already helped Xia Xiaolan.
Mao Kangshan opened the post:
"One box of Yanzhou Sydney, one box of Xiaoshan sweet potato, 3 pounds of dried abalone, 5 pounds of dried shrimp, 5 pounds of scallops, 2 pounds of Hericium erinaceus, 2 pounds of bamboo fungus, 2 pounds of fungus, 5 pounds of red dates, and 2 pounds of royal jelly , five kilograms of honey... a box for Maotai in Guizhou Province, and ten sticks of Chinese cigarettes."
No wonder it took three people to work together to move it up.
In total, there must be one or two hundred catties.
The more he read, the more Mao Kangshan gritted his teeth.
"You brought the grocery store here!"
How much are these things worth?
There are expensive ones and cheap ones.
It is hard to say how much it is worth, but a box of Maotai and ten sticks of Chinese cigarettes is not something that ordinary people can get.
In the small kitchen, Aunt Song's dishes were ready, so she didn't dare to serve them outside. It was rare for the stingy Mao Kangshan to be generous. She cut two catties of meat and bought a fish, but Aunt Song liked Xia Xiaolan as soon as she met her. She was good-looking and sweet-mouthed. Who would hate it.
Even after Mao Kangshan finished reading the gift list, Aunt Song's eyelids in the kitchen twitched.
How much will this cost?
Given such a heavy gift, Lao Mao accepts such an apprentice, what will people outside say?
What two catties of meat and a fish, used to entertain Xia Xiaolan, shabby like telling a joke.
In the living room, Xia Xiaolan was still smiling, "Then I just learned from my apprenticeship. I don't know what you and my mistress like to eat. Buy some, if you see something that suits your taste, let me know."
People do not blame.
Reach out and don't hit the smiling man.
Mao Kangshan's temper tantrum, in front of a cheeky person like Xia Xiaolan, did not come out at all.
Xia Xiaolan talked about this, and it was not easy to find someone who was more flattering and disgusting than her.
Even Mao Guosheng, who lives on the third floor, never talked to Mao Kangshan like that!
Of course, Mao Guosheng was paid a dead salary, and his economic conditions were incomparable to Xia Xiaolan.
But Mao Guosheng and his wife knew that the old couple boiled noodles in plain water every day, and they didn't say to send some nutritional products such as eggs, meat, and milk to their parents.
Mao Kangshan didn't know what to say for a while. In the small kitchen, Aunt Song's eye sockets were sore.
I don't know who is lucky enough to raise a girl like Xia Xiaolan.
Aunt Song brought out the dishes:
"It's time to start dinner, Xiao Xia, don't think it's too simple to eat."
Xia Xiaolan's eyes widened, "There are fish and meat, and it's called shabby, are you tired? I'll wash the dishes for you after a while. I wanted to help you cook, but I don't want to cook, so I don't dare to cook. Ugly."
The girl who looks like a scallion, those hands don't look like they are washing dishes.
I'm afraid I haven't even touched cold water at home, right?
Aunt Song only thought that Xia Xiaolan was joking, and it was one thing to do it or not. It sounded comfortable.
Xia Xiaolan helped set the dishes, Aunt Song made braised pork and sweet and sour fish, and also fried two plates of vegetarian dishes and a plate of cold seaweed.
In fact, it is really rich. Xia Xiaolan is not a big fish and meat, she can still eat a meal of 20 cents in the cafeteria. Besides, Aunt Song's craftsmanship is not bad, Xia Xiaolan
He kept praising the delicious food, coaxing Aunt Song into a smile.
The atmosphere was so good that Mao Kangshan couldn't hold back his serious face.
He wanted to drink some wine, Xia Xiaolan pushed aside his family's loose wine and pulled a bottle of Maotai directly from the box.
"You will drink this in the future. It's the same as your surname, so you have a lot of fate! If you don't say anything else, you can drink well and smoke well. I count my apprentice as filial to you!"
The quality of Maotai in 1985 is still very good.
It's just that it's hard to buy, and the price is not expensive for Xia Xiaolan. She wants to stock up a batch and use it to entertain guests in the future. That is the 30-year special offering of Maotai. How much face?
Although Xia Xiaolan succeeded in her apprenticeship today, she was not very comfortable.
I just feel that the Provincial Construction Institute is very incapable of doing things, and did not give Mao Kangshan the treatment he should have. The apprenticeship was successful, and Xia Xiaolan was more protective of her shortcomings. Anyway, Mao Kangshan was her master, so she couldn't be shabby after that. Her master's level is no worse than that of Ning Yanfan. The life that Ning Yanfan can enjoy, her master should enjoy the same!
Aunt Song's ears were hot, "Xiao Xia, that's not how money is spent. We are all old, so how can we use such good things."
"I have worked hard all my life and contributed my whole life to the country. Why can't I enjoy the happiness? Mistress, I know that I can't eat enough of this."
Xia Xiaolan smiled, and Mao Kangshan was actually at ease.
Who doesn't want to be held up?
What's more, the one holding him was originally the apprentice he was optimistic about.
Xia Xiaolan's purpose is clear, she can be a teacher, and she needs to help her get company qualifications. Even if Mao Kangshan offended half of the people in the circle, isn't the other half left unoffended?
He was about to speak to Xia Xiaolan about this, when someone was sneaking in by the window and looking inside.
Ge Jian put the tableware and chopsticks and stood up, "Who is this!"
