Chapter 53: Yuan Baoyi

"Come, little brother, call someone quickly.

At the door of the cafeteria, Chen Lijun pointed to a cadre beside him and asked Chen Liqing to call someone.

"Uncle Lin! Uncle Ma, also, all uncles and brothers are good. Looking at the group of officers who looked like officers around Chen Lijun, Chen Liqing didn't care if he knew him or not, his uncle and brother's name.

Sometimes, the world of adults is mixed with a sensible child like Chen Liqing, but it is a spice in human relations. Listening to Chen Liqing's funny and chaotic call, this group of hearty soldiers not only did not get angry, but laughed one by one.

"Haha, I can't imagine that little brother Liqing hasn't seen him for so long, and he is still so sweet." Lin Zehan laughed heartily, and touched Chen Liqing's head with his big hand lovingly.

"Uncle Lin, how could I forget you, your pipe band, have you been promoted to general? Seeing that you are smiling so brightly, something happy must have happened recently, right? Chen Liqing said, but he couldn't help but look at the man in front of Lin Guan who only kept a little smile on his face.

Lin Zehan's pipe band is standing behind this man, which proves that this man is probably the biggest official here, and Chen Liqing still has this bit of eyesight.

Sure enough, if Chen Liqing usually said this, Lin Zehan would definitely be happy to praise Chen Liqing again, but this time, Lin Zehan hurriedly waved his hand: "How can I, little brother Liqing, how can I be promoted so quickly, where can I be promoted again, don't you want to see the general?" Come, this is our general, I've seen our Yuan Biaotong, call someone quickly. ”

Lin Zehan gave up the conversation to the man.

"Yuan Biaotong!"

Chen Liqing hurriedly turned his attention to this man.

This man was wearing a distinctive officer uniform, his body was straight, his eyes did not squint, and he was considered an iron-boned soldier. Seeing Chen Liqing looking over, he also looked at Chen Liqing with a smile, his eyes were full of curiosity.

Seeing so many soldiers and not nervous children for the first time, Yuan Baoyi couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Yuan Baoyi, the first standard commander of the new army of Guiyang Nanchang, Chen Lijun, and Lin Zehan, their top bosses, are standard commanders, which is equivalent to the official position of regiment commander in later generations.

Chen Liqing's head quickly flashed some information about the man in front of him, and after reacting that it turned out to be this person, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Ah, general, general, standard?" Yuan, Uncle Yuan? ”

Chen Liqing hurriedly called someone, but in the face of Yuan Baoyi, who was not smiling, he didn't know what to call for a while.

The head of the regiment, and this regiment commander will also play a role in the future Guizhou Reading Revolution, Chen Liqing can be regarded as the first person who can have energy in Guiyang in the future, and it is normal to be nervous.

Such a nervous and chaotic appearance made Yuan Baoyi's unsmiling face appear with a smile.

"Little brother, what is it called, come and call Yuan Biaotong with us, this is Lord Biaotong, don't call it nonsense!" When Chen Lijun saw Chen Liqing screaming like this, he couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly reminded Chen Liqing.

However, Yuan Baoyi raised his hand to stop Chen Lijun: "Hey, what is your name, we are all adults in the eyes of the little brother Liqing, call me my lord, do you still call you this elder brother?" Yuan Baoyi said a word to Chen Lijun. Then Yuan Baoyi looked at Chen Liqing and said:

"Little Brother Liqing, if you don't mind, just call me Brother Yuan."

"Yuan, Brother Yuan?"

Looking at Yuan Baoyi's appearance, it was Chen Liqing's turn to open his mouth wide.

He couldn't imagine that the unsmiling Yuan Baoyi in front of him was so easy-going? In his eyes, Yuan Baoyi should be an old-fashioned and conservative person.

According to records, when Guizhou was reading power, when the pipe band in the barracks of the new army asked Yuan Baoyi to lead the team to read the power, Yuan Baoyi did not listen to the persuasion of those revolutionaries, but wanted to tell the governor Shen Yuqing, who rebelled in the army, and after the matter was revealed, he was almost killed by the new army. Such a person actually had this kind of persistence at that time, which made Chen Liqing think that Yuan Baoyi was a relatively old-fashioned and conservative person.

He couldn't have imagined that Yuan Baoyi would call him brother when he saw him for the first time?

Chen Lijun, Lin Zehan and the others also looked at them in surprise.

"Hehe, that's what I'll call it." However, Yuan Baoyi didn't care about everyone's surprise, he laughed when he heard Chen Liqing call his brother, and then he looked up and looked at the decoration of Chen Liqing's new-style restaurant, and couldn't help but be curious: "Little brother Liqing, what are you doing in this restaurant?" Five cents per person, five cents per person, eat as much as you want, drink as much as you want? Self-service hot pot? What are they? ”

Self-service hot pot, Yuan Baoyi swept the words hanging on the banner of the restaurant, very curious, he was also the first time he had heard of this kind of thing.

Hearing Yuan Baoyi ask, Chen Liqing woke up like a dream: "Ah...... This is. ”

He looked at Yuan Baoyi and his party and wanted to introduce them, but suddenly a gust of cold wind came, and he realized that they were still outside. He couldn't help but stop and pat his head: "Hey, look at me, eldest brother, second brother, quick, Brother Yuan, Uncle Lin, everyone go inside the house first, it's cold outside, I'll explain to you when you get into the house." ”

"Ah, yes, don't be stunned outside, come in quickly!"

Chen Lijun and Chen Liqun reacted at this time, and hurriedly arranged for everyone to enter.

"Brother Yuan, Uncle Lin, let's sit down at a table together, please here, this restaurant in my house is like this. Eat whatever you want......" Seeing that people were all reacting, Chen Liqing beckoned these officers and introduced them while bringing them to the box.

"That's it, brothers and uncles, the things here in our house, eat as much as you want, take care of your fill, as long as five cents, everyone can eat meat if you want to, and you can eat vegetables if you want to, and today is the first time my family has opened, and the people brought by the eldest brother are all free." After arranging for someone to sit down, Chen Liqing finished the introduction.

"Oh, whatever you want?" Yuan Baoyi and the others' eyes couldn't help but light up, and when they were about to continue asking Chen Liqing questions, they suddenly heard the soldiers outside involuntarily screaming and making a noisy noise.

The soldiers outside also heard Chen Lijun's explanation at this moment, and heard that they could eat as much as they wanted, eat full, and eat well. Suddenly, the soldiers who were released from the barracks couldn't help but scream one by one.

Eat your fill, eat meat or vegetables as you like!

In this era, ordinary people may not be able to eat meat for a year, let alone the kind of food in the military camp where there is no oil and water. Now that they can eat as much as they want, these people's eyes have long been green, and some of them have even been boiling with blood and knocking on the bowl.

"Yes, you can eat as much as you want, as long as you have a stomach, you can eat as much as you want, of course, we don't care if you die." Chen Liqing glanced outside, and then nodded to Yuan Baoyi. Then he took the big hot pot brought by the waiter and put it on the burning honeycomb coal stove, and after a while, the soup pot boiled.

"Brother Yuan, Uncle Lin, what do you want to eat now, you just need to put them in the hot pot from these dishes, and you can eat them when they are cooked." Chen Liqing also took the plates of cold dishes brought by the waiter and demonstrated them to Yuan Baoyi and others in public.

Looking at the slices of meat that Chen Liqing put in, they tumbled up after a while, and Yuan Baoyi, Lin Zehan and others were surprised in their eyes.

"It's interesting, it's interesting." Yuan Baoyi couldn't help but nodded: "Little brother Liqing, aren't you afraid of losing money when you eat this way?" You know, now the meat outside is also two cents and five pounds, if you want to eat two catties, you will lose money. Looking at the Cheng Liang hot pot on the table, what kind of stove is there, Yuan Baoyi couldn't help but continue to ask about this self-service hot pot, he felt that it would cost a lot to make such a set, not to mention all kinds of dishes and meat.

Lin Zehan and the others couldn't help but look over, and after Yuan Baoyi's reminder, they also reacted.

"Hehe, don't be afraid, although we don't need money to eat food here, we can still sell alcohol." Chen Liqing smiled and didn't explain in detail: "Brother Yuan, you eat first, and I'll go get you wine." ”

As he spoke, Chen Liqing went out and immediately closed the door, and the moment he closed the door, the noise outside suddenly became much quieter.

Yuan Baoyi felt the atmosphere of this private room, and suddenly a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Lord Biaotong, don't be surprised, Lijun's second brother is a business wizard, and if he comes up with this way, there must be a way for him to make money, so don't worry. Lord Biaotong, let's try the taste of this new self-service hot pot. In such a big winter, it is a pleasure to be able to eat hot pot. Lin Zehan had seen all kinds of strange things in the Chen family's shop, and he was not so curious that Chen Liqing's family could make a self-service hot pot now, looking at the churning appearance of the hot pot, he was drooling.

"Yes, let's try the taste of this hot pot." Yuan Baoyi nodded lightly, and seeing that everyone was still waiting for him, he took the lead and sandwiched a piece of thinly sliced chicken breast and put it into the hot pot.

"Second brother, what's the matter, how many people are there?"

After greeting the chief, Chen Liqing caught Chen Liqun the moment he came out to get the wine.

"There are about 300 people in total, and there are still a few tables that are not full, but fortunately our place is big enough, otherwise someone would have to wait for others to eat before they can eat." Chen Liqun looked around the hall, looked at the full number of soldiers, and said after calculating for a moment.

Chen Liqing still asked Chen Liqun to deliberately choose such a large place, such a place, and the rent every month is quite a lot. However, through Lin Zehan and others, Chen Liqing and they still got a fair price.

This is also the reason why Chen Liqing and the others first invited Lin Zehan and them to have a meal.

Of course, even bringing the people who asked Chen Lijun to invite them to the barracks can be regarded as giving the eldest brother some prestige.

Chen Liqing and Chen Liqun both saw that the eldest brother Chen Lijun was greeting these soldiers enthusiastically at this time, and these soldiers were a lot more enthusiastic about Chen Lijun because they knew that Chen Lijun invited them.

"Okay, second brother, you can leave the next things to Brother Yong and them to do, you go outside now to explain the propaganda to those passers-by, and my eldest brother and I will go and deliver wine to the chiefs." Chen Liqing watched Chen Lijun come over, took the wine and went straight to Chen Lijun's direction.

Chen Liqun turned around, and through the glass wall, he could see that passers-by outside were more curious about their hot pot restaurant.

So he glanced at Chen Liqing and Chen Lijun, and went outside to publicize.

At this time, the soldiers are eating hot hot pot, and then through the glass wall to let others see, it is undoubtedly a good temptation.

Looking at the glass wall again, Chen Liqun couldn't help but shake his head, secretly wondering how his little brother's head was done, and how could he think of such a good way of propaganda every time?
