"What's the matter?" has long been accustomed to Zhang Junping's straightness, and Huang Xue is no longer entangled, and directly asks Zhang Junping what she is looking for.

"Let's go eat first, let's talk while eating, it's not too late to sort out the manuscript tomorrow!" Zhang Junping took his eldest brother-in-law and then his fat aunt this afternoon, and his physical exertion was a bit large, and he would already be hungry and faint.

"Then you wait a minute, I'll clean up my things!" Although Zhang Junping's motives for inviting guests were not pure, Huang Xue was still very happy.

The two of them quickly packed up the manuscript and put it in a box.

"Why are you pushing a bicycle? You don't need to ride a bicycle to go to the cafeteria, right?" Out of the studio, Huang Xue saw Zhang Junping pushing a bicycle and said curiously.

"What kind of canteen are you going to! Let's go, I invite you to Donglaishun to eat hot pot!

How about comparing it to your Sichuan hot pot?"

"Donglaishun is too expensive, let's go to the cafeteria to eat!" Huang Xue didn't want Zhang Junping to spend more money, so she insisted on eating in the school cafeteria.

"Let's go, buddy, don't be short of money now!

Otherwise, why are you embarrassed to bother you?" Zhang Junping pulled Huang Xue and pressed her directly to the back seat of the bicycle.

Huang Xue blushed and didn't squeak.

Zhang Junping pedaled the car hard in front, not feeling how abrupt his action just now was.

Donglaishun is in Dongfeng Market.

At first, Donglai Shun was not a hot pot restaurant, but sold halal bean juice and pastries, and later named Donglai Shun Porridge Shop, and began to sell millet porridge, mixed flour cakes, haggis and other foods.

It wasn't until Donglaishun was burned down by a mutiny manipulated by Yuan Shikai and rebuilt that he began to sell mutton.

With the development of Donglaishun, shabu mutton has become more and more exquisite, from the original popular restaurant for the toiling people to eat, to a high-end restaurant for banqueting guests.

Along the way, Huang Xue didn't speak, just tugged at a bit of Zhang Junping's clothes with her hands.

Zhang Junping didn't speak, he was thinking about how to ask Huang Xue to help him for a while.

promised to help the fat aunt decorate the house before, how could he have time to keep an eye on it, this matter could only be handed over to Huang Xue.

Also, looking for someone at school, with his house nature, the school really doesn't know many people, so he still has to trouble Huang Xue to contact classmates with relevant skills.

Huang Xue is her assistant, and she pays her a salary, so it's a big deal to give her more bonuses.

And I also invited her to eat shabu mutton, this boss can be regarded as okay!

This is the reason that Zhang Junping found for himself to support Huang Xue to work.

It's full!

Put your bicycle at the door of Donglaishun and lock it.

Zhang Junping walked into Donglaishun with Huang Xue, and it was full of people, almost full.

In '82, although there were many people who came to Donglaishun to eat hot pot, it was not as exaggerated as the need to queue up outside the door in the mid-to-late eighties.

Zhang Junping and Huang Xue found an empty seat in the hall and sat down.

Donglaishun, who has never been known for its service, in this era, don't even think about having a waiter come over to order food for you.

Let Huang Xue wait in the seat, and Zhang Junping went to the window to order.

As a carnivore who is not bad for money, Zhang Junping directly has a copy of the brain, a small three-fork, a big three-fork, and a cucumber strip, and then cabbage, vermicelli, frozen tofu, various vegetarian dishes, baked cakes, donkey rolling and other snacks.

After paying the money, the speed of serving the food was very fast, and after a while, the waiter brought the copper hot pot.

Then a plate was brought with seven small blue and white porcelain bowls, which contained sesame paste, soy bean curd, pickled leek flowers, soy sauce, chili oil and other seasonings.

Mix whatever you want to eat.

Subsequently, Zhang Junping's mutton, cabbage and other ingredients were also served one after another.

The mutton was cut by hand, and you can see through the glass, and several masters are holding half-meter-long knives and cutting the mutton there.

Cabbage is torn by hand.

"Why do you order so much, we can't finish it!" Huang Xue said with some distress looking at the table full of dishes.

"Eat hard, eat more, it's not enough, let's order more!" Zhang Junping said proudly.

"Zhang Junping, is your furniture store really so profitable?" Huang Xue poked her head and asked in a low voice.

"Furniture stores do make money, but it's nothing to do with inviting you to dinner!

I invite you to dinner, mainly to thank you for your help during this time, and I want your help later!"

"What's the matter?"

"Let's eat first! The soup is open, you can put the mutton, talk while eating!" Zhang Junping said, picking up a plate of mutton, holding it with chopsticks and pouring it into the pot.

"What do you say quickly, if you don't say it, I don't dare to eat it, who knows if you will sell me!" Huang Xue threatened with a slightly coquettish tone.

"You are such a beautiful and capable assistant, how can I sell it!

Okay, okay!

I say!

Today I took a renovation job, and I wanted you to help me find some classmates from the school who can be bricklayers, carpenters, and electricians!

If you do this well, you can also make money, and you will be able to eat mutton shabu every day in the future!"

"I'm not a landlord and an old man, so I'm willing to eat mutton every day?

After Huang Xue finished speaking, she realized that she had been led astray, "Phew, Phew, Phew, Let's talk about decoration, why are you pulling mutton? I'm that kind of greedy woman?"

"There is nothing wrong with a woman's greed, eating is the instinct of human life, gluttony is the demand of the human spirit, and it is also the source of social progress!"

"Where do you get so many crooked reasoning?"

"This is not a fallacy, let's put aside the ideals and ambitions at the national level, study hard, and work for a better life?

So what kind of life is better for us people?

What I understand is that eating better, dressing better, and living better, this is the better life we yearn for!"

"What the little comrade said is right, what he said is the truth!

What is the purpose of the party and the state in carrying out reform and opening up, vigorously developing the economy, and realizing the four modernizations? How can we verify the success of our reforms? The only criterion for testing is whether or not we can make the people's lives better!

So what's a little better life?

Just now, Comrade Xiao got to the point!" an old man sitting behind Zhang Junping suddenly interjected.

Zhang Junping looked back, and was suddenly startled, the person who interjected was an old man wearing a Mao suit and gray hair, very imposing, sitting there, like a mountain, tall and majestic.

He knew this old man, surnamed Zhu.

Seeing Zhang Junping turn around, the old man smiled apologetically, "Little comrade, I'm sorry! Your words just now solved a doubt in my heart, so I couldn't help but interject!"

I have to thank you for helping me answer a question that has been bothering me all along!"

"Old comrade, you're polite, I'm just chatting with my classmates and talking casually!" Zhang Junping hurriedly stood up and replied.

"Hahaha! You are not talking casually, although the words are simple, but in my opinion, they are the truth!

Practice is the test of the truth of everything! Letting the common people live a happy and beautiful life is the only criterion!" the old man laughed.
