Chapter 54 Mandarin Duck Pot

"In the end, if the Qing Dynasty wants to develop and become strong, it is the only choice to implement a constitutional system." In Guiyang Normal School, the teacher's voice on the podium spread throughout the classroom.

"That's all for today's class, and it's over." The teacher, who wore glasses and braided hair, announced the end of class after summing up his speech.

"Teacher, can you tell us more about the series of changes that have taken place since the Meiji Restoration?"

"How did they learn the technology and even the technology of foreigners?"

Although the teacher announced the end of class, a group of students still gathered around to ask the teacher.

And the teacher looked at these eager eyes, and almost did not hesitate, and continued to discuss the issue with the group of students.

During this period, there were two kinds of ideas spread throughout the Qing Dynasty, one was the reform idea of constitutional monarchy advocated by Liang Qichao and Kang Youwei.

Under their influence, various parts of the Qing Dynasty have successively established advisory bureaus this year and selected their legislators. These parliamentarians also entered the political circles, and if it had not been for the success of the uprising under the guidance of another, more intense revolutionary ideology, it was perhaps, perhaps, that the Qing State would have finally become a constitutional monarchy like the one in the world.

History has no ifs, though.

Compared with Liang Qichao's gentle reformist ideas, the League's ideas of completely overthrowing the Qing Dynasty were more popular.

Most of the reformists are already powerful and wealthy upper-class figures, who already have a certain status. And the reformist alliance will attract more lower class intellectuals, young people. They are organized, and they are organized to spread all over the country, like a virus, as long as they are given a pathogenic agent, this group of viruses will break out.

Most of these people are young people, very dissatisfied with the current situation, urgent, and anxious, so they prefer drastic changes to overthrow the Tartar court and create a republic!

This is a more radical idea, and compared to the moderate constitutionalists, they are a scorching flame, ready to burn the prairie at any time.

However, at least for now, they are not very safe with this idea of change. Although some officials did not care about it, but tried to persuade them to surrender, most of them were still hostile to reformers like them, and regarded them as rebellious and unstable elements of society, and arrested them.

The ideas of the constitutionalists and the ideas of the reform of the League, one overt and one dark, were popular in society, especially in the various new schools.

Although the idea of reform is in the dark, the control of the Qing political axe over the ideology has been basically lost, so although the school mainly propagates the idea of constitutionalism, the idea of the League has also spread among many students.

Of course, students also have their own thoughts and choices for these two ideas, and people in society also have their own thoughts and choices and voices.

So every time there is a political class, the students listen very carefully.

This is an era of thought and its activity, and every intellectual cannot help but discuss the direction of the future of the country, they have their own opinions, and they can talk about it.

This is the leitmotif of this era.

"Changqing, where are you going to eat?" Quietly swept the shadow of the teacher around the podium, and under the classroom, a young man couldn't help but look back at his classmates.

"Qingzhi, let's go to the cafeteria." The male classmate who called Changqing looked up and said the cafeteria without thinking about it.

"The cafeteria? It's the cafeteria again, the cafeteria is boring anymore, it's all those dishes. The man named Qingzhi couldn't help but complain a little when he heard this.

"Well, Changqing, let's call Weiwei and I'll take you to a good place?" After the man complained, he suddenly turned his head to look at the podium, rolled his eyes, and then suggested.

"Good place? What else is there to do in Guiyang? Changqing looked up, his eyes full of doubt.

"Hehe, as long as you can help me get Vivi and them together, I promise, the good place I take you to will definitely surprise you!" The man looked mysterious.

Half an hour later, a group of four students came to the door of Chen's self-service hot pot restaurant.

"This? Self-service hot pot, Keiyuki, what kind of place is this? Standing at the door, through the foggy glass, a group of two men and two women saw the hot scene in the restaurant, and the two female classmates took a look at it, and after seeing the satisfied looks of some people in the store, they couldn't help but be curious about this new store.

"Hehe, just follow me." Qingzhi was the first to rise, and seemed to feel the admiration of the female classmates, and entered the hot pot restaurant with his head held high.

"Waiter, there are four of us here, do you still have a place here?" As soon as he entered the door, a waiter greeted him, and Qingzhi immediately greeted him very familiarly.

"Sorry, four guests, you may have to wait a minute, there is no place now." The waiter said apologetically.

"What? No, no more places? Suddenly, the smugness on Qingzhi's face froze.

He hurriedly inspected the entire dining hall, there were more than 300 seats, and the black pressure was full of people, everyone's face was satisfied, and some even gobbled it up. Business is indeed very good, this is the time for meals, Chen's hot pot has been open for three days, almost from 10 o'clock in the morning to 9 o'clock in the evening to meet the requirements of the people of Guiyang.

This kind of new hot pot, five cents a person, can actually eat meat and vegetables casually with an open stomach. When they heard the news at that time, the people of Guiyang were shocked and didn't believe it at all. But as soon as this signboard came out, some people tasted the benefits, and on the opening day, some people saw hundreds of soldiers eating and supporting each other before they could go back.

Then someone came back from the meal, and after the meal was finished and said in front of friends and relatives, the people who listened couldn't hold it. Word of mouth, one with one, two with a pair, within three days, almost nearly 5,000 people came to the hot pot restaurant, Chen Liqing and their business was so good that even when they were eating, there was a long queue outside.

People who have eaten this kind of hot pot all go out with their stomachs propped up with a satisfied smile.

This hot pot can not only make people full, but also taste good, and even those landlords who originally had big fish and meat have come once, and they still want to come a second time.

Therefore, within three days, Chen Liqing's hot pot became popular again!

This time, it became popular in Guiyang, you know, Guiyang is a big city with a population of more than 70,000, which is not as small as Pingyue. is really popular, Chen Liqing can be regarded as a gold fighter.

Although five cents per person is not much, there are 1,000 silver dollars for 2,000 people a day, which is a silver dollar, and 1,000 is equivalent to 50,000 yuan. earns 50,000 yuan a day, which is better than Chen Liqing's cosmetics business.

Chen Liqing didn't make much publicity, nor did he engage in any lottery activities, he just made his hot pot restaurant popular through this word-of-mouth publicity. Therefore, although hot pot is very popular, among some students, not many people know about it.

This Qingzhi classmate came to eat once by accident, and he went back with his stomach on the same day. Then, two days later, when he ate the food in the cafeteria again, it felt like pig food. This time, I wanted to bring my classmates over to enjoy the delicious chicken and duck again, but I didn't expect that the seats would be filled so quickly.

"These guests, if you are not in a hurry, you can wait for the fire here first, and if there is a place, we will come and call you."

The waiter's voice came, which brought this Qingzhi classmate back to his senses.

Then a few people looked to the place pointed by the waiter, and in another relatively empty room, there were indeed people waiting.

He could only say with a dejected face, "Okay, let's go sit down." ”

"Weiwei, Changqing, Luo Yan, let's go over there and wait for a while." He sat down with the three of them.

"This, Keiyuki, what is this place for, is it for eating? Why when did this shop open, and how did they do so well? As soon as she sat down, Luo Yan, a female classmate, couldn't help but ask the question in her heart.

The other two classmates, Changqing and Weiwei, were also full of questions in their eyes.

Qingzhi sighed: "Yes, this place is indeed a place to eat, but it has only been open for two or three days." ”

"Business...... Hey, I didn't expect it to be so good, when I came the day before yesterday, there were obviously many places, where did I think ......" Keiyuki glanced at the restaurant again.

He never thought that this hot pot business would be so good. Of course, he quickly thought about why this business was not good, he was able to eat with an open stomach for only five cents, and it was very cost-effective to eat meat and vegetables. He felt that the last time he ate, he had completely earned his five cents, and he didn't spend it at all.

"Eat...... However, there are also people who eat elsewhere, why? Why are there so many people here? We still need to queue up, by the way, what is this stove? What's burning inside? Changqing couldn't help but ask, and he quickly noticed that the thing that the four of them were baking was a honeycomb coal stove.

"Who knows?" Qingzhi shook his head, and then said: "The reason why the business here is good is probably that it only costs five cents for us to eat meat and vegetables as much as we want, and the drinks are counted separately." ”

"What? Five cents can you eat meat and vegetables as much as you want? Suddenly, the three classmates couldn't help but open their mouths wide and asked.

This condition, for them, is simply unheard of.

"A few guests, excuse me, there is already a place." Before a few people could digest all this, the waiter came up to remind them.

The four of them turned their heads, and happened to see three people at the door supporting each other and going out with big bellies, their faces were rosy and satisfied.

"A few guests, this is the mandarin duck pot you chose, please use it slowly, the dishes are over there, please take it according to the amount, otherwise we will be fined." In the astonishment of the four, they sat down at the four-person table.

"Mandarin duck pot, several people set their eyes on the bottom of the pot again......"
