"Hello, Mr. Ma!" Chu Chengdong's newly recruited assistant Chen Zerong greeted him respectfully.

[Red Lips Chuan Chuan Chuan Xiang] There is huge pressure to expand the store, and there will be follow-up decoration construction. Chu Chengdong alone will definitely not be able to handle it.

So even though the Chinese New Year is approaching, the management team has been recruiting more people.

Ma Liang nodded and encouraged him kindly: "Well, I will follow Manager Chu and work hard from now on!"

"Boss, the stores at both ends of Sichuan North Road have been acquired, and I just signed the contract.

The large store in the middle is still under negotiation, but it should be soon. After the Chinese New Year, it is estimated that decoration and construction can be carried out at the same time." Chu Chengdong reported on the progress of the past few days.

Ma Liang thought for a while and responded: "Just keep an eye on the arrangement, but the plan to open five stores next month will have to be slightly adjusted.

Two of them have been converted into shopping mall stores, and I have already decided on a good location.

You can look at the arrangement of the remaining three stores, whether they are Dimei, Xiangjiang Famous Store Street, or Huaihai Middle Road, we will look at the details at that time."

During the Spring Festival holiday, the business of Chuan Chuan stores will be affected to some extent.

However, it will only be affected for three or four days at most, and then it will slowly return to normal.

With the current profitability of the Longemont, Raffles and Nanjing East Road stores, there is no need to worry about cash flow issues.

Coupled with the more than 200,000 yuan that Fa Ge had just settled for him, Ma Liang was very rich.

Therefore, the store opening plan of [Red Lip Chuan Chuan Xiang] is even more radical. He plans to open two more mall stores after the year.

One is located in Xujiahui Metro City, and the other is tentatively located in Pudong No. 1 Yaohan.

He has already found a relationship with Metro City Shopping Mall, but the First Yaohan has no clue yet and can only talk about it after the year.

These two shopping malls are the most crowded business districts in Shanghai, and their relationship is not as strong as that of Raffles City. Waiting for a vacant store depends on the timing.

"I understand, boss." Chu Chengdong nodded and agreed.

After finishing the inspection of the store and finishing the meeting with Chu Chengdong, He Feng and the others, it was almost time to get off work.

Ma Liang hurriedly took a taxi to Yuyuan Road to attend the appointment with Teacher Feng.

The car quickly stopped at the downstairs of Lin Fengyun's house. Looking up, the lights on the top floor terrace were already on. It was obvious that the person had returned from get off work.

Ma Liang quickly went upstairs and knocked gently on the door.

The door was quickly opened, and Lin Fengyun appeared in front of him with a completely different appearance than usual, which immediately made his eyes light up.

I don't know if it was because she was cooking, but Teacher Feng had her hair tied up, which immediately added a casual beauty to her graceful and graceful appearance.

The light blue extra-long inner dress completely hid her graceful figure.

But the highlight of this seemingly ordinary outfit is the mid-length sweater layered with it.

Dark gray mid-length sweater jacket with a large V-neck slit from the neck to the abdomen.

It looks fresh and chic. This way of layering is both warm and elegant. It also looks feminine and feels like home.

This kind of Japanese-style outfit does not deliberately highlight the figure, but through the deep V slit of the knitted jacket, one can clearly see the slight bulge under the inner long skirt, which arouses an endless desire to explore.

Otherwise, it must be a woman from my childhood, who knows best what kind of outfit is more attractive.

I have to say that Lin Fengyun's style is very thoughtful, and it is very consistent with her lazy appearance but exquisite inner temperament.

Laziness is a kind of "not caring", being able to take up and let go of anything, and it is also a kind of leisurely and contented temperament.

Women who have a lazy temperament in life are usually colorful and colorful inside.

They take life and work seriously and are full of spiritual connotation. They are indifferent when things happen, many things don't seem to matter, and they don't like to compete at all.

Compared with other people, they slow down their pace and pace, giving people a slow and lazy feeling.

But after getting along with each other, you will find that their lives are orderly and full of details.

A lazy woman is more attractive and more relatable than a smart and capable woman.

At this moment, Ma Liang felt like he was facing a virtuous wife welcoming her husband home, which was very warm.

"Come in quickly, we have the last dish, and we can start dinner." Lin Fengyun was very happy to see Ma Liang, and after saying hello, she hurried towards the terrace.

Ma Liang followed him into the house and walked to the terrace to take a look. The place seemed to have changed again.

Not only do they have a few more pots of flowers and plants, but they also have a simple stove, which can be easily cooked with an induction cooker.

Looking sideways, the small round table next to it was already set with delicious food.

Lin Fengyun obviously prepared carefully, and the taste of the dishes on the table was not affected by the cold weather.

Sixi roasted braised bran, duck in rose sauce, fried small yellow croaker, seaweed peanuts, potato salad, light and delicious, not greasy, are all excellent dishes to accompany drinks.

At a glance, it was obvious that she must have bought these dishes from the delicatessen after get off work.

The most important thing is that there is a portable cassette stove in the middle of the small table. On the stove, a casserole is simmering slowly over low heat. It is simmering a big dish.

A hint of aroma soon drifted into Ma Liang's nose, the smell of braised mutton.

She probably stewed the mutton in advance yesterday and just reheated it in a casserole, otherwise she would not have time to cook it after get off work today.

"Okay, it's time to start eating." Lin Fengyun brought the last dish to the table.

Looking at the carefully prepared dinner, Ma Liang felt warm in his heart, and his greedy mind was suddenly aroused: "It's so rich, thank you for your hard work!"

"No, I like cooking!" Lin Fengyun smiled very happily.

There is another thing she is embarrassed to say, that is cooking for the person she loves, which is the love of her heart.

Ma Liang looked at the table full of delicious food and said worriedly, "I don't even know which one to eat first."

"It's cold on the terrace, let's drink a bowl of soup to warm up first!" Lin Fengyun opened the large white casserole that had just been served and prepared to serve Ma Liang a bowl.

As soon as I opened the lid, a fragrance overflowed, and it turned out to be a traditional home-cooked dish from the south of the Yangtze River - Pickled Duxian.

This dish originated from Anhui cuisine, but it is widely spread in the free shipping area, and it is also a winter favorite of people in Shanghai.

If you are having New Year's Eve dinner at home, this dish is almost a must-have, and it tastes full of New Year's flavor.

The ingredients are very common, and the cooking method is also very simple. Just use winter bamboo shoots, bacon, pork belly, and louver knots to cook.

There is no need for any seasonings, not even salt, just rely on the salt contained in the bacon. But it is this ordinary cooking method that creates the best taste in the world.

The pickled pork has a salty and fresh taste, the soup is thick and white, the meat is crispy and fat, the winter bamboo shoots are fragrant and crispy, and the louver knots are full of juice and will leave you with endless aftertaste.

Ma Liang took the small bowl and couldn't help but take a bite immediately. It was so delicious that his whole body was dizzy.

He couldn't help but praise: "This soup is so delicious. I didn't expect you to have such good skills."

"It's just home-cooked food, as long as you like it!" Lin Fengyun felt even better after hearing this.

Ever since I was a child, I have often heard my mother say that in order to keep a man's heart, you must first tie his stomach. This is all her family's cooking skills.

My parents have been loving each other all their lives, with almost no quarrels or blushes. My mother's cooking skills naturally played a big role.

While Ma Liang was eating and drinking, he continued to praise: "Home-cooked food is what makes this world worthwhile!"

No matter how delicious the food in restaurants outside is, it still doesn't feel like eating at home.

No matter how ordinary home-cooked dishes are, as long as they are made with love and care, they can still be delicious.

Frankly speaking, a woman like Lin Fengyun is the ultimate dream of many men.

You can run a house, cook good food, have a quiet temperament, and you are beautiful. The most important thing is that once you fall in love, all eyes will be on you.

Looking at the gentle and virtuous Teacher Feng in front of him, Ma Liang suddenly had an idea in his mind. Maybe spending his whole life guarding such a woman is actually worth it!
