Chapter 22 Red Star Hotel

Zhao Yuemin drove a jeep, took two Hongta Mountains and a bottle of sauce-flavored Moutai, and politely visited the deputy director of the town commune.

When the deputy director of the town commune saw Moutai, he smiled from ear to ear, saying that this was the elixir and jade liquid that only the head of the central government could drink. He also praised the strength of the Jiangbei Oilfield, which is completely incomparable with his own town commune.

Zhao Yuemin is now a different shotgun, with the title of advanced model of the bureau, and he is an oilfield cadre, far from the young man in the small town who loved to fight. He, the captain of the drilling team, if he talks about welfare and resources in his hands, he still overwhelms the deputy director of the town commune in all aspects, and the other party has to be impressed.

The cigarettes were handed over, the wine was poured, they greeted each other, and complained about the hard work of the work, and when the wine was hot, the deputy director of the town commune readily agreed to Zhao Yuemin's request. said that this Red Star Hotel, because of poor management, has long become the burden of the town commune and wants to shake off. Now Zhao Yuemin proposes to contract management, which is the best, so that the collective assets can shine again.

Zhao Yuemin was drunk, stumbled out of the house of the deputy director of the town commune, and immediately told Hu Dong and the others the good news.

The town commune agreed with Hu Dong and others to contract the Red Star Hotel, which made Hu Dong and the others overjoyed. More than a dozen people quickly signed a contract with the commune and began to renovate the hotel. The staff is ready-made, and the original team of barbecue stalls is reassigned to serve as food deliverers, bookkeepers or cooks. The purchase channel does not have to work as hard as catching birds and hares everywhere as before. The Red Star Hotel can rely on the town commune every month and has a channel for food and meat.

At the same time, Zhao Yuemin noticed that a group of foreign experts from Yugoslavia and Romania had recently come to the oil field, with rosacea nose and yellow hair, who seemed to eat only at the Friendship Hotel in the oil field on weekdays. The Western food at the Friendship Hotel was so bad that he had seen the foreign experts frowning and complaining to the waiters.

This is another opportunity.

Zhao Yuemin knew that his father had worked in the Soviet Union for a period of time and cooked authentic Soviet food. He specially opened a Western restaurant in the Red Star Hotel and let Zhao Chunda be the chef. Zhao Chunda originally had nothing to do at home, but after hearing about it, he readily agreed.

At this point, the Red Star Hotel has just opened, and it has launched a Suzhou-style Western food package - beef stew, Russian mixed mix, and beetroot soup. Zhao Chunda's beetroot soup with garlic bread made those Yugoslav experts full of praise, saying that the taste was very authentic.

Since the opening of the Red Star Hotel, Zhao Chunda suddenly found that every once in a while, many neighbors came to visit him with a smile and a smile on the good things they saw during the New Year, such as pickled meat or fruits.

He was a little puzzled at first, but after chatting a few more words, he realized that these were the family members of the hotel staff. Since Hu Dong led a group of people to set up a barbecue stall, the security in Shaohu Town has improved a lot, and there are few fights. After the opening of the Red Star Hotel, these young people in the small town who run the hotel can each earn hundreds of yuan per month, and they are even more embarrassed to fight with the style of a deputy small boss.

Later, I heard that all the ideas were made by Zhao Yuemin, the captain of the oilfield drilling team, and he came to visit Zhao Chunda with gratitude.

After a month of stable operation of the hotel, Hu Dong's hotel came to an uninvited guest.

That afternoon, Zhao Yuemin and Hu Dong chatted in the private room as usual, only to hear a commotion in the hall outside.

"Good boy, dare to eat overlord meals here, and don't look at what place this is!"

"Brothers, I haven't practiced for a long time, do you want you to give us a try!"

When the two heard the movement, they ran to the hall and saw a diner in a shabby military coat, being grabbed by the collar by several people.

"What's going on?" Zhao Yuemin asked.

"Brother Yuemin, this kid didn't give money after eating, he wanted to slip away, but fortunately he was caught by us."

Zhao Yuemin looked at the miserable look of the young man who ate the overlord's meal, shook his head with a smile and said, "Brother, you are in the wrong place." If you put it in another hotel, you will be scolded at most. The waiters here used to be good fighters in the town. Well, you can give me a reason, if you can convince me, I will pay for this meal. ”

"Brother Yuemin, how can you come out? This kid just doesn't clean up, so let's give him a 'stick barbecue'." ”

At this time, Hu Dong's eyes on the side were a little strange, he raised his eyebrows, and asked as if asking, "Are you...... Sun Xiang? ”

The young man nodded abruptly, and then replied, "Are you...... Hu Dong? ”

"It's me, this is Zhao Yuemin. Yuemin, this is our elementary school classmate Sun Xiang. ”

"Sun Xiang?" Zhao Yuemin struggled to search for the name from his brain's memory bank, and he finally remembered it.

As soon as Sun Xiang saw his acquaintance, he immediately changed from a trembling look to a smug look, and he unceremoniously slapped away a few hands that were tugging on his neck.

"What? Do? Want to hit your classmates? With that, Sun Xiang swaggered and followed Zhao Yuemin and Hu Dong into the box.

Zhao Yuemin and Hu Dong are very righteous, and when they see their primary school classmates, they are even more enthusiastic. Good wine and good food, entertained Sun Xiang for three days.

This Sun Xiang told about his previous "brilliant experience". During the special period, as a junior Red Guard general, he participated in the movement and mixed well, shouting every day to find out the class enemy, and was a fanatical activist.

"Yuemin, I want to ...... back then"

"Dongzi, I've been to **, I want to ...... back then"

When it comes to the class struggle, the iron-capped rightists, and the five types of elements, Sun Xiang seems to have changed as if he has changed as a person, and he is extremely excited and gushing.

Zhao Yuemin and Hu Dong listened too much, and they were a little disgusted, so they had to remind him tactfully.

"I said, Shoko. At the Third Plenary Session of the 10 th CPC Central Committee in July this year, the CPC Central Committee made the decision to smash the Gang of Four, and the class struggle came to an end for the time being. Zhao Yuemin analyzed, "I heard from the leaders of the bureau that I guess the central government is going to start shifting its focus to economic construction, and you are not a Red Guard, so you have to find a way out, right?" ”

Sun Xiang sighed, as if the golden hour had passed. He said stupidly: "In the past, the class struggle was talked about every year, month after month, day by day, but now why has the atmosphere changed? ”

The social atmosphere has changed, but Sun Xiang, a former Red Guard junior general and advanced member of the movement, is a little confused about the direction of progress. Hu Dong first left him to work as a vegetable cutter in a restaurant. Sun Xiang felt that it was a bit embarrassing to be an individual, and he was unwilling to do it. If you want to do it, you have to go to a state-owned enterprise.

There was no way, Zhao Yuemin used his connections again to let Sun Xiang work in the drilling team.

The work of the drilling team also made Sun Xiang feel uncomfortable, and it was far less comfortable than he used to do sports. Bitter, dirty, and tiring, he had to work twelve hours a day, working with mud every day. Sun Xiang felt very hard, relying on Zhao Yuemin as the captain, he often went to the dormitory at noon to sleep and nap, and only pretended to work in the evening.

After a long time, Zhao Yuemin received more complaints, and his face was also gloomy, after all, Sun Xiang was introduced by himself. He found Sun Xiang and reprimanded the other party severely.

That Sun Xiang also had a big temper, and he didn't want to be reprimanded by Zhao Yuemin, so he quarreled with him, and resigned directly the next day......
