In fact, the impact of allowing private participation in the operation of the catering industry is far more than the Hong family's sound.

Similar discussions took place in the families of the two cadres with whom they were connected in one way or another.

It's just that the relationship with the Hong family is different, and the personal ideological realm is different. There is a considerable difference in the views of the families of the two cadres on this matter, which are almost the same ranks.

Moreover, it cannot but be said that Hong Lucheng was indeed prescient, and some of the situations he expected had already been reflected in these conversations.

At Director Song's home, the conversation began after dinner in the form of a father asking about his son's work.

Naturally, father and son want to talk about the changes in society.

Song Guofu said that the latest statistics made by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau recently.

The data shows that there are currently 24 individual industrial and commercial households registered in Beijing, with 3,018 employees.

That's a skyrocketing increase. And because of the introduction of the new policy, more and more people have recently come to apply for catering licenses and inquire about running restaurants and food stalls.

Director Song couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey, the current policy is more relaxed. For those who don't have jobs, encourage them to do some self-employment, such as opening a small shop, opening a food stall or something. It did solve some practical problems. You can buy meat, oil, wine, grain, and all of them. Hasn't this pressure been transferred to our Grain Bureau and the Second Commercial Bureau? Although the rural areas have implemented the practice of guaranteeing production to households. The peasants are motivated and have more things. But now it's still a seller's market, and there's not enough to sell. It's still a headache to solve all the supply problems......"

And speaking of this, he also remembered Hong Yanwulai.

"Hey, didn't Xiao Wu's family open a restaurant in the past?

Seeing Song Guofu shook his head. Director Song was also relieved.

"That's fine. If Xiao Wu has this in mind, you have to persuade him to let him work in peace and stay in the 'Polar Bear'. Don't think about these things that don't matter. ”

But Song Guofu didn't understand because of his attitude.

"Dad, aren't you willing to help Xiao Wu? Are you afraid that he will find you to solve the problem of grain and oil? Now you can make money by opening a restaurant. If he really opened his mouth, how could I be embarrassed to refuse him. Besides, this is reasonable and legal, and the national policy allows it. ”

Mrs. Song couldn't help but take the words on the side.

"Son, your father is good for Xiao Wu. You still don't know, who can afford to be a self-employed businessman? How much money can be earned to have a stable iron job bowl of the state? His current job can be managed for a lifetime. That unit is really good, I heard that there are three self-built buildings now, and when the time comes, your father will help him say a word and give him a set, so he won't have to worry about getting married? Yes, I know that their family has quit the house, but no matter how big it is, isn't it a bungalow? Where can it be compared with the unit?"

Director Song also said. "If his family insists on doing it, it is inconvenient to stop him. It's just that you have to do your duty as a friend to persuade them to dispel this idea. Why? Do you think, I heard that their family used to have a lot of business. If they reopen the restaurant, know how to operate, have good dishes, and have better service, then there will definitely be more people eating. Their family has quit the house and refunded the money, so they must have to hire workers. Tell me, what is the relationship between the hired people and them?"

Song Guofu replied without thinking, "Of course it's an employment relationship."

Director Song nodded. "Yes, their business will become more and more prosperous, and more and more people will be hired. You know, our country wants to pursue common prosperity and will never allow another millionaire to appear. Aren't they going to get dizzy if they want to do that?"

This sentence made Song Guofu stunned.

And Mrs. Song took over the conversation at this time and made a final summary.

"Don't talk about millionaires, and 100,000 shouldn't be. Got it, son. You said that the Hong family itself does not lack anything, and now Xiao Wu's future is guaranteed. How nice it is to be able to live a good life. Why bother to get into trouble again, aren't you? I'm not afraid of anything else, if something changes in the future, I can persuade you to persuade ......."

Contrary to the well-intentioned concerns of the Song family, the Xu family has a purely unaccustomed critical attitude towards the new situation in society.

"Hmph, what's going on in the world? Lao Jiang's 8 million army has been wiped out! Why have these exploiters and capitalists made a comeback? So what is my work all these years? I finally fought a tiger and engaged in a public-private partnership, and now it's all in vain?"

Xu Bingquan and his wife couldn't help but talk about their dissatisfaction with their work, and their words were full of gunpowder.

Yu Wanfen hurriedly persuaded her, "Old Xu, don't be too angry. The current situation is only temporary, don't imagine that it is too serious. The resurgence of the bourgeoisie, I don't think it's practically possible, the state will not let it go, it will always adopt some restrictive policies. ”

But this consolation did not have much effect on Xu Bingquan, and he shook his head lamentingly.

"Restricted? I don't think it can be restricted, can we do it again public-private partnerships? Do we fight tigers again? Time has passed, and people are no longer willing to engage in 'sports.'" ”

"Do you remember? How did I get promoted to deputy director of the Commerce Bureau? Yes, I just don't like that kind of arrogant behavior and eating and drinking. I want to turn the bourgeois restaurants into places for the proletariat only, so that the workers, peasants and soldiers can afford to eat. That's why I've made a drastic makeover. ”

"I removed the neon signs in front of the door and the traffic lights in the windows. The single room was demolished and replaced with a general room. Under my initiative, the waiter is no longer a shopkeeper who nods his head and waist, but a working class with a straight waist. ”

"Of course, the main thing is to reinvent the menu, otherwise it will be a formalism. Like 'braised sea cucumber with green onions', 'squirrel osmanthus fish', and 'hibiscus chicken slices', so noble, who can afford to eat them? ”

"But what if I have worked so hard to get a new look at the eating environment? Now it's all back again. Money is rampant in our restaurant again, and the business policy has begun to promote famous dishes again, demanding profits. Okay, now it's open to private restaurants. What is the difference between that and going back to before liberation? Isn't someone like the Hong family gaining power again? Is this still not a world where the people are the masters of the country......

Speaking of which, sitting on the side and watching TV, I don't like to listen to melon seeds.

Xu Chongya threw down the melon seed skin and protested.

"Dad, why are you like this? What's wrong with the Hong family? You have such a big opinion? Aren't people who have opened restaurants for generations? What is the most heinous crime? I think it is reasonable to allow it now, and everyone should do what he can and distribute according to his work. This does not contradict the socialist principle of distribution. If you want me to say, I blame you for everything. Why did you do so much back then? And I don't understand. Who doesn't want to eat something good? Do you want to have turnips and cabbage forever?"

"Hey, you...... You kid, why are you still complaining about me?" Xu Bingquan didn't expect to be blamed by his daughter, and choked weakly.

But Yu Wanfen had the words to distinguish for him.

"You know what? Your dad did the right thing! You don't know what it was like back then. How many people have been dragged into the water by the capitalists, and their degeneration began with inviting guests to dinner, and perhaps those unseemly deeds were done in the small room in the Hong family's restaurant! Is it true that the person who runs the restaurant is not responsible? That is a crime!"

At this time, Xu Bingquan was inspired and also had a rhetoric. "Yes, did you read the newspaper in the first few days? A chef in 'Fengze Garden' reported to the above that many cadres went to the restaurant to eat guest meals and engage in specialization. As a result, so many cadres fell on this matter. Isn't it because of gluttony? Is it a delicacy or a poison, and isn't it worth being wary of?"

"Besides, I'm not completely hungry. People's lives always have to change a little, and there are often tooth sacrifices in the revolutionary ranks. But the 'Great Leader' is nothing more than a bowl of 'braised pork'. Can you compare yourself with his old man? I see that there is a stir-fried shredded pork with cabbage and braised fish in the restaurant, and the scorched corners are enough. What worker's home can eat these things every day?"

At this time, Yu Wanfen took over the topic again.

"Well, I think that's fine. People are too dissatisfied, so they often don't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings. Chongya, I'll just talk about you. If you are born in a remote mountainous area, it is good to give you a bowl of rice to eat. Look at you, so many cadres don't want it, what kind of one have you picked? ”

Then he expressed strong support for her husband.

"Lao Xu, I believe that time will prove that you are right. So don't be in too much of a hurry. Although the atmosphere of hardship and simplicity in today's society is gone, it will be corrected one day. Anyway. I believe that private restaurants will never be able to compete with state-run restaurants. At least I don't go to private restaurants to eat. I'm scared. It's still state-run, rest assured. The food is good and the price is fair. ”

Mother's attitude made Xu Chongya really can't help but roll her eyes.

"Mom, how are you like the Marxist-Leninist old lady in "People Reach Middle Age". Don't you think the attitude of the state-run restaurants is too bad?"

Yu Wanfen sneered.

"Oops. Do you eat or eat with a service attitude? Doesn't that prove that your father's transformation results are fruitful? Besides, the service attitude of that industry is not bad now. Don't you sell books and quarrel with others? Don't you yourself often blow people out? Are you willing to keep your voice down?"

Gotcha, choke. Mother and daughter quarreled, and Xu Chongya was defeated.
