Chapter 3: Opening a Restaurant
The three of them went to the tavern and finished ordering, found a table and sat down, drinking wine while listening to the people in the house.
"Hey, I heard no, Chen Xueru and their house live next door to a spy, and they were reported a few days ago." While drinking wine, the film master said to the cow master next to him.
"How can I not hear about such a big thing, I heard that there were guns that day, and a lot of people died, what do you say these people think, they have to be spies for a good life, and now their lives are gone." Niu Ye spread his hands and smiled and said, he also couldn't help but understand the thoughts of these people, after all, he thought that the current life was much better than before, and these people still didn't want to destroy.
"Why else, it must be for money and *** Houlu, thinking that the bald head of Bay Island can be beaten back, and then each of them can be added to the rank of knight."
"By the way, Mr. Xu, your family lives nearby, do you know what happened that day?" Hearing Teacher Xu's words, Niu Ye turned his head and asked.
"I'm usually at work, and I really don't know much about this, so I know that it seems to have been reported by three people, by the way, you have to ask Chen Xueru about this, their family stays next door."
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Chen Xueru had no choice but to put down her wine glass and said, "Don't look at me, I don't want to mention this, I'm just a businessman who does my duty, I provoke anyone, and I encounter such a thing."
Saying that, Chen Xueru felt a little speechless, and a group of spies appeared next door to her house, who was going to reason with this, I felt scared when I thought about it, but fortunately I was served with a pot, otherwise I couldn't sleep well.
"You'll have to ask me about it, I know." Hadron stood up at this time and said.
Hearing Qiangzi's words, everyone looked at him and replied with a suspicious look, "You...... You're a three-wheeler, what do you know?"
"Don't look down on people, this group of spies was reported by me and Wu Wu and Yan Jiecheng, if it weren't for the three of us, this group of spies wouldn't know when they would be defeated." Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Qiangzi said with some indignation.
As he spoke, Qiangzi also took out the award certificate that the street had just issued to him from his arms and handed it to everyone to see.
"Hey, it's true, I didn't expect a three-wheeled pedaling to catch a spy, which really impressed Master Niu."
Seeing Qiangzi's actions, Yan Jiecheng was speechless enough, in order to be in the limelight, he was not afraid that the group of spies and accomplices would retaliate against the three of them, really, I didn't see that he and Cai Quanwu didn't speak.
"Hmph, what's there to be angry about, he belongs to the blind cat who met the dead mouse, if I go out, I can find the spy." He Yongqiang on the counter couldn't see the appearance of Qiangzi's spirit, and couldn't help but squeeze out.
Seeing that Qiangzi was still going to speak, Yan Jiecheng hurriedly grabbed him and told him to shut up, he couldn't be guilty of He Yongqiang's stubbornness for such a thing, after all, this was in someone's tavern.
"By the way, didn't you come to our store last time to say that you made clothes, why haven't you sent the fabric after a few days, do you still do it?" Chen Xueru turned her head and asked Yan Jiecheng, she had only seen Yan Jiecheng before and didn't know what his name was, until Qiangzi said that the spy was discovered by the three of them, which attracted her attention.
"I must do it, haven't I forgotten how busy I have been these days, and I will send you the fabric tomorrow." Saying that, Yan Jiecheng smiled awkwardly, if Chen Xueru hadn't asked about it, he would have really forgotten about it, and he hadn't thought about anything else during this time when he was patronizing the affairs of the spies.
After drinking, the three of them went out of the tavern, and on the way back, Yan Jiecheng vigorously instructed Qiangzi and Cai Quanwu that it would be best for outsiders to talk about the affairs of the spies in the future.
"Why, how can we say that we are also doing merit for the country, so we can't say it to outsiders." Hearing Yan Jiecheng's words, Qiangzi first disagreed, didn't he just want to be in the limelight when he did so much, and how to be in the limelight without telling outsiders.
"Xie Cheng is right, let's not talk nonsense everywhere."
"No, why is that?"
"Why are you so stupid, can you be sure that it's just this group of spies, what if they have accomplices? If we knew that we reported them, would they let the three of us go?"
"Ah, this
......, I just said it, what can I do?" Qiangzi also began to be scared when he heard this, he was an ordinary person who had encountered such a thing, if it weren't for Yan Jiecheng and Cai Quanwu's report on the spies, he wouldn't have done it.
"Just say it, just pay attention in the future, be careful these days, if you find something wrong, find me and nothing."
"Okay, that's all there is to it."
………
The next morning, Yan Jiecheng took the fabric out of the space, picked out a piece of black Nizi fabric, and sent it to the Xueru Silk Shop, asking the tailor in the store to make him two sets of Mao suits.
After all, there are not many styles of clothes in this era, and it would be good to be able to wear a tunic suit.
After measuring the size, Yan Jiecheng walked out of the silk shop and walked along the street towards the neighborhood committee.
It's been more than half a month since he came to this world, Yan Jiecheng thinks that he can't always sit and eat empty, although the materials in the space are enough for him to live for a lifetime, but having no source of income will also arouse the suspicion of others.
But let Yan Jiecheng still go to work in the factory like he did in his previous life, he was unwilling.
After thinking about it, it is better to open a restaurant, although it will be a public-private partnership in another year, but even if the public-private partnership is a public-private partnership, it can get ten years of dividends, just from 1956 to 1966.
After that, even if it doesn't work, I can still run to Hong Kong City in advance, anyway, people won't be suffocated to death by urine if they live.
When he came to the neighborhood committee, Yan Jiecheng directly found Aunt Wang, the director of the neighborhood committee.
When Aunt Wang heard this, Yan Jiecheng wanted to rent the house from the neighborhood committee to open a restaurant, and directly shook his head like a rattle.
The documents had already been issued above, and the private enterprises on the street had to be rectified, so how could she still agree to the emergence of new private enterprises.
So when Yan Jiecheng proposed it, Aunt Wang directly refused.
"Aunt Wang, listen to me."
"You, don't talk about it, go back to work at the food station, okay, let's go quickly." Aunt Wang waved her hand and wanted Yan Jiecheng to go out quickly.
"Don't, Aunt Wang, you listen to me first. You see, the public-private partnership mentioned above, when the time comes, someone must come out first, otherwise other owners will definitely not be at ease, if you agree to me to open a restaurant, then I will take the lead in our street public-private partnership and stand up to be the first."
Hearing Yan Jiecheng's words, Aunt Wang put down the pen in her hand, thought about it, and felt that this method was not bad.
Anyway, there are hundreds of shops on the whole street, but where to open the restaurant is a problem, and the good places are all occupied, and if they are opened in the corner, few people will go.
After thinking about it for a long time, a suitable location is next to the tavern, which house is under the name of the neighborhood committee, and it is convenient to use it.
But the rent still has to be paid, so I thought of this, so I said:
"Okay, since you've thought about it, let's do it, there happens to be an empty house next to the tavern, so I'll rent it to you, the rent is ten yuan a month, and if you think it's okay, sign the contract."
"No problem, no problem." Hearing Aunt Wang's words, Yan Jiecheng hurriedly agreed, and Yan Jiecheng also knew about that house, and he had gone to the tavern to drink a few times before.
In the TV series, the house was later merged into Xu Huizhen's tavern, and Xu Huizhen didn't want to feel that she had suffered a loss.
Yan Jiecheng felt that she was just in the midst of happiness and didn't know the blessings, that house was much bigger than her tavern, although there were many people who went to the tavern to drink, but to say that the money was definitely not as good as the restaurant.
After all, the tavern takes the civilian route, and the price is lower than in the wholesale market, and if it is not mixed with water, it is estimated that the pants will have to be compensated.
Even if Xu Huizhen later took over the tavern and went directly to the winery to pull wine, the profit was not very high, and there would definitely be no way out just by selling wine.
After all, wine can be drunk anywhere, and if her family sells it higher than other places, no one will go.
Moreover, most of the taverns are open at night, like the public-private partnership in the TV series, so many people can be hired and salaries can be paid, which is too unreasonable in Yan Jiecheng's opinion.
After discussing the matter of the store with Aunt Wang, Yan Jiecheng went home after leaving the neighborhood committee.
In the afternoon, I went to the tavern to clean up the house, and then went to the market to buy some pots and pans, tables, chairs and benches necessary for opening a restaurant.
When the three of them gathered in the evening, Yan Xie Chengcheng told Cai Quanwu about opening a restaurant.
Qiangzi and Cai Quanwu were surprised to hear that Yan Jiecheng was going to open a restaurant, after all, they had never heard anything about such a big thing before.
"I said, this store is not a joke, you better think clearly before deciding."
"Yes, there must be a good chef to open a restaurant, a good chef's salary alone costs dozens of yuan a month, or even hundreds, and the money earned is not enough to pay people's salaries."
"You two don't need to talk about it, I've thought about it, I don't need to hire a chef, I can cook the dishes myself, the reason why I ask you two is to ask you two if you two would like to come to work in the restaurant."
"This ...... I forget it, I still want my dad to sell the house in his hometown and invest some money to start a transport team for me, you better ask if there is nothing, anyway, he is also a temporary worker at the grain station, and he can't earn much money a month."
Hearing Qiangzi's words, Yan Jiecheng looked at Cai Quanwu on the side, wanting to hear what his opinion was, before the two of them earned more than ten yuan a month in the grain station, otherwise it would be impossible to have not saved any money for so many years, and when they were fine, they had to borrow Qiangzi's tricycle to pull work.
"You see, when there is work at the grain station, I will go to the food station to work, and when there is no work, I will go to the restaurant to help." Cai Quanwu did this mainly because he was afraid that Yan Jiecheng's restaurant would not last long, and what would he do if he lost the job of the grain station.
"Qiangzi, you can also come to the restaurant to help first, and it's not too late to leave when your convoy opens. In this way, I only work half a day and pay you ten dollars a month, and I will also take care of the food."
Yan Jiecheng said to Qiangzi, because he knew that Qiangzi's transport team would dry up after a long time, this was said in the TV series, although I don't know what the reason is.
"This ...... Okay, let's do it, when will our restaurant open?" Hearing Yan Jiecheng say that he would give ten yuan a month to take care of food, Qiangzi thought that there was nothing else to do now anyway, so he agreed.
In this way, two days later, a restaurant called "Public Canteen" next door to the tavern opened.
In this era, everything is practical, and there is no furniture in the restaurant, just seven or eight square tables and more than 20 benches.
There is no private room, just a hall, and everyone who eats is seated in the hall, in order to reduce trouble, there is not even a small stir-fry in the store, it is all a big pot of dishes.
When it comes to the meal, Yan Jiecheng will fry the dishes in advance, fry several dishes at a time, and put them in an iron basin with boiling water to warm them after frying.
Anyway, Yan Jiecheng didn't open this restaurant to make much money, but mainly to find something to do.
Because of the opening on the first day, Yan Jiecheng personally cooked several good dishes, and they were all meat dishes.
When the food came out of the pot, the fragrance wafted out directly from the store, mainly because Yan Jiecheng was willing to put oil in cooking, in this era of lack of oil and water, it didn't hook people's gluttony.
When the fragrance wafted to the tavern, the people who drank in the tavern poked their heads out one by one, no matter how they still had the heart to drink.
"What does this smell like, it's so fragrant, how can this make us drink."
"What else could it smell like, isn't there a new restaurant next door, and the smell must have come from them."
"No, the smell has hooked all the worms out of my stomach, I need to go and see what good food is made over there."
"Master Niu, why don't we go over and have a look." The main reason why he was called Niu Ye was that he had no money in his pocket.
Niu Ye was also in the mood to drink because of the fragrance, so he agreed, and the two went out of the tavern to the restaurant next door.
"I said Cai Quanwu, why are you here, you opened this restaurant?" When Niu Ye and the two came to the restaurant, they saw Cai Quanwu and Qiangzi standing in a few big places
In front of the basin, he asked out loud to make this dish for everyone.
"How can I have this ability, this restaurant was opened by Yan Jiecheng, and the two of us are here to help him." Cai Quanwu replied to Niu Ye while cooking for others.
"Ao, Yan Jiecheng, this person is very interesting, and the name of this restaurant is also very good-"Public Canteen" As soon as I heard that the dishes here are not expensive, everyone can eat them."
"Master Niu, don't talk about this yet, you see that we are all here, so we have to cheer people up." With a hala in his mouth, the film master stared intently at the vegetables in the big iron basin, and pulled the sleeve of the cow master and said.
"So you're waiting for me here, I said why do you have to let me come with you, okay, since we're here, we can't go back empty-handed, Cai Quanwu, you can give me a copy of each of the dishes here, and send them to the tavern next door for me later."
"Okay, five vegetables, three meats, two vegetables, one piece of three, pay over there." As he spoke, Cai Quanwu pointed in the direction of the counter.
