MTL - Go Back To 1980 and Enjoy It-Chapter 253 County leaders showed goodwill, factory leaders were shocked (6100 words)

Chapter 253 County leaders show goodwill, factory leaders are shocked (6100 words)

 National Day.

It is also the Mid-Autumn Festival among the four major traditional festivals in my country.

 Suifeng Hotel.

As soon as it got light, all the regular employees and temporary employees of the hotel arrived, as did Deng Yuntai, the small boss who controls the overall situation.

 After the restaurant opened, various fresh ingredients that had been ordered in advance were delivered one after another.

The dinner party at the bicycle parts factory is different from the last Full Moon Wine hosted by the hotel. The opening time of the Full Moon Wine is between 10:30 and 11 a.m., so time is very tight, so we can only order the meatballs, egg rolls, and buckwheat one day in advance. Time-consuming dishes such as meat and sweet lotus root are prepared in advance.

 But the bicycle parts factory’s dinner time is between four and five o’clock in the afternoon, which gives the hotel enough operating time, so it does not need to prepare the dishes the night before and can eat the freshest meals.

Deng Shirong picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth. He chewed it and said with a smile: "Habits can be formed slowly. Excessive drinking is not good for the body. If you drink on an empty stomach, it will be even worse. I I also do this to drink for a few more years, so as not to cause problems with my body, and then I won’t be able to drink anymore if I want to.”

All the temporary employees were pleasantly surprised when they heard this. Today, the bicycle parts factory had a luxurious set meal provided by the hotel. There were really many hard dishes in it, and many of them were made by the four chefs. So many hard dishes. Not to mention the usual dishes, it was rare for them to eat them even during the Chinese New Year.

 Before that, you should keep a low profile.

After understanding this, the leaders of the bicycle parts factory enthusiastically invited Deng Shirong to sit down and have a few drinks with him.

It is really not easy to buy a TV in this era, mainly because the tickets are difficult to obtain.

The four kitchen helpers received the highest wages. Deng Yuntai was paid 5 yuan each, and each of the twelve waiters was paid 3 yuan. The total cost was 56 yuan, which was not low.

 …

　　　…”

Four p.m.

 About ten minutes later, factory director Li Chunhua accompanied County Magistrate Song to Suifeng Hotel.

 …

Section Chief Chen smiled and said: "That's good, boss, just keep busy. I'll call you if anything happens."

After these diners arrived, they were surprised to see that there were more than ten waiters in the restaurant.

As for the lack of electricity in the village, there is a solution, which is to buy more batteries.

 After more than three months of experience, the eldest son is really able to take charge of his own business. From now on, the restaurant can be safely run by the couple.

 The leader of the bicycle parts factory saw Deng Shirong coming to deliver wine, and the gift was the best Maotai liquor, so naturally he didn't mind giving a few kind words.

At this time, Suifeng Hotel was just like the last full-moon banquet. A banner was hung at the door to welcome all the employees of the bicycle parts factory. Signs were also erected inside the hotel, and colorful ribbons were used to separate the left half of the area.

Zhang Guoan couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Uncle Jiu, you should have bought this TV a long time ago. You see, people get a salary of twenty or thirty yuan a month, and they all have TVs at home. You have opened the largest TV in the county." Restaurant, but it turns out that there is no TV at home. Isn’t this a joke?

As for the TV tickets, don’t worry, I will help you get them. "

With the arrival of the supervisor and the factory director, the employees all said hello one after another, and the factory leaders all ran over and surrounded the leader towards the reserved table.

Deng Yuntai responded with a smile, and then said: "You can get off work now. There are so many leftovers. Each of you can pack a table and take it back. Even if you don't want to eat other people's leftovers, you can." Use it to feed the pigs and dogs, so that it doesn’t go to waste here.”

 When the battery ran out of power, I took my bicycle to Shuangwang to recharge it. Others charged me one or two yuan for each charge, which was quite distressing.

 “I wish the boss a prosperous business!”

 With the "help" of the factory's leadership, the development of Suifeng Hotel will definitely be smoother.

It's already 1982. If he remembers correctly, this year's New Year's Eve will be the broadcast time of the first Spring Festival Gala. He doesn't have this little money now, and it's time to get a TV back home so that he can watch it during the Chinese New Year. Watching the Spring Festival Gala, I believe it will be very lively.

Zhang Guoan suddenly realized it and said: "It is really inconvenient without electricity. Fortunately, our village is in the county seat and had electricity a few years ago."

As a result, a group of temporary employees responded positively and took out the oil paper from the hotel and started packing.

 At noon, diners arrived in small groups.

　　　…”

“There is no way. Our country is now short of electricity everywhere, so naturally we should focus on important places first.”

Because the kitchen is now fully staffed, the diners who came to eat today had just finished ordering, and the waiters started serving the dishes at a really fast pace.

“It turns out that there is no electricity in the village yet, no wonder!”

So, a curious regular customer asked on the spot: "Boss, why did your hotel suddenly have so many waiters?"

 The employees of the bicycle parts factory have never seen such a banquet before. Everyone has a huge appetite and their mouths are full of oil.

 …

In just ten minutes, Deng Shirong left a deep impression on the leaders of the bicycle parts factory. In the future, whether it is public or private, as long as they go out to eat at restaurants, I believe Suifeng Hotel will definitely be their first choice. .

"lead!"

This dinner at the bicycle parts factory was served with a luxurious set meal. They were very active and full of energy. On the one hand, they had year-end bonuses, and on the other hand, they were looking forward to the part of packing leftovers.

Deng Shirong put tobacco into the mouth of the chimney and asked, "Brother Zhang, I want to ask you something. Can you get a TV ticket?"

 “No more hard work!”

Furthermore, plastic bags were not popular in this era and were very rare in county towns. If you wanted to pack meals, you had to ask the hotel waiter for help. This is a shameful thing that no one really wants to do.

 When they had finished drinking, Section Chief Chen stayed to settle the bill, while other leaders and employees left in groups.

Although Deng Shirong and County Magistrate Song had never met, when he heard what he said, he immediately understood his identity and couldn't help but smile: "So it's County Magistrate Song. I've been looking for an opportunity to invite you over for a casual meal." , but I am afraid that I will be too presumptuous and disturb you. I didn’t expect that we would meet in this way today, so I have to give you a toast. "

Zhang Guangzong sighed, took another sip of wine, and then said: "Anyway, at my age, life has entered a countdown. I don't know which day I will leave, and I am too lazy to bother with these things. I can drink for one more day." Earn a day.”

In his previous life, Deng Shirong bought the first TV in Naye Village, but that was already after 1987. At that time, there was still no electricity in the village, so he bought two batteries specifically for watching TV.

In his previous life, Deng Shirong lived to be 88 years old, which was a truly long life. Few of his contemporaries in the village could live to be 80, and he was the only one over 85.

Deng Shirong lit a match and lit his tobacco. After taking a few puffs of cigarette, he said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, you don't know, my hometown doesn't have electricity yet, which is why I haven't been in a hurry to buy a TV. But now it seems that I don’t know how long it will take to get electricity in the village, so I thought about buying the TV first and then buying a few batteries for use. Although it is inconvenient to watch TV this way, it is also a solution. "

Deng Yuntai said seriously: "Chief Chen, don't worry, our master chef will definitely do his best to ensure that all the employees and leaders of your factory have delicious meals."

There happened to be only a few people at this table, and except for County Magistrate Song, the rest were senior leaders of the bicycle parts factory. Deng Shirong sat down amidst the warm greetings of everyone, and then the smarter waiter immediately served the big boss. Got the cutlery.

What's more, the boss Deng Yuntai also gave them a way to feed the leftovers to pigs and dogs if they didn't want to eat them, which completely relieved them of their psychological burden.

“Boss, this is what we should do.”

 The next day.

So, after packing the leftovers, Zhang Wenjuan and the four of them, like the temporary employees, happily walked home carrying the considerable leftovers.

Zhang Guangzong has long been accustomed to the big boss's practice, but he still sighed: "Boss, this habit of yours is really good. I have tried it several times before, but unfortunately I only have to eat porridge, rice or noodles. Yes, my stomach will bloate easily if I drink any more, and I won’t feel good at all.”

The former Bicycle Parts Factory in Shixian County began to slowly decline after entering the 21st century, and eventually disappeared in the long river of history.

“Boss, your hotel is nice. It’s clean and spacious, and the food tastes good. It’s hard to even think about this business well!”

 After Section Chief Chen finished paying the bills and left, Deng Yuntai summoned the 16 temporary employees who came to help today and paid them wages.

But in this day and age, whether you are going to have a dinner at a relative or friend's house or going to a restaurant, packing leftovers is a very shameful thing. There are really not many people who can bear the strange looks from others.

They all talked while sitting down, but Magistrate Song, who was sitting in the main seat, stood up when he saw Deng Shirong and said with a smile: "Boss Deng, during the summer vacation, I heard my daughter talk about you a lot. That girl has come to your place for dinner many times."

Li Chunhua said with a smile: "Boss, although there are a lot of dishes here, it's actually not that expensive. On average, it only costs a few yuan per person. Everyone has worked hard for so many years, and the factory has finally made great progress this year. It’s a rare occasion to celebrate, and today is the National Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I’ll let everyone eat well.”

This meal lasted until six o'clock in the afternoon.

Since preparations were made in advance, all that needed to be stir-fried were the green vegetables, so in less than twenty minutes, all twenty-four dishes and three soups were served.

 The arrival of the leader was a signal, and the waiters who had been prepared early began to serve the dishes.

However, excluding the ten private rooms, now that more than two hundred and sixty people from the bicycle parts factory have arrived, they have taken up almost half of the hotel's space.

However, the money was well spent. Without the help of these 16 temporary employees, their hotel would not be able to receive so many guests today.

 Therefore, when employees of the bicycle parts factory arrive, they can follow the signs to sit in the separated area.

 As for packing, it is impossible to pack, even in this era.

“This day will definitely come, I don’t know if we can still see it.”

 County Magistrate Song nodded and did not say much on this issue.

Deng Yuntai replied with a smile: "I just asked for help temporarily, because all the employees of the bicycle parts factory will come to our hotel for dinner in the afternoon. The original manpower of the hotel cannot cope with such a big scene, so we can only ask for help temporarily. !”

It was not until 1984 that the old man who was in the same family as Deng Shirong five hundred years ago, when talking about the issue of individual employed workers exceeding the standard at a certain meeting, made it clear that they should not be moved, but should be let go, and we would talk about it in two years before hiring them. The problem is real security.

“I understand the truth, but I’ve been drinking like this for decades, and I’m afraid I can’t change this habit!”

Originally, although Deng Shirong, a restaurant owner, was considered a great person, due to the common prejudice against self-employed people in this era, Deng Shirong's identity as a restaurant owner was really not taken seriously by the leaders of the bicycle parts factory.

After all the employees came in and sat down, Section Chief Chen jokingly warned: "Boss, you have to ask the master chef to use his real skills to make the food more delicious, because this time it is not just the employees of our factory who are having a dinner together." , the leaders from above will also come.”

It is foreseeable that the families of these sixteen temporary employees will have an unforgettable Mid-Autumn Festival tonight.

　　　…”

After Deng Yuntai paid the wages to these temporary employees, he said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work today!"

 So, although there were a lot of leftovers today, none of the employees wanted to stay and pack them. They all got up and left with their colleagues in a cool manner.

"lead!"

 Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

After all the temporary employees left, Deng Yuntai asked regular employees such as Zhang Guofu, Zhang Wenjuan, and Zhang Wenying to pack up two tables of leftovers and take them back. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and no one will come to eat at this time. Naturally, the restaurant can close early to let the employees We go back early to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with our families.

Zhang Wenjuan and Zhang Wenying were very active in packing leftovers. The last time a guest came to the hotel for a full-moon banquet, they packed a lot of leftovers back, which made their parents and brothers extremely happy. After that time, their status in the family also changed. All improved a lot.

“This is understandable. Now that the country is developing faster and faster, I believe that in a few years, people across the country will have access to electricity.”

Li Chunhua and others are naturally aware of how awesome Peking University students are in this era. As long as they don’t commit suicide or are really unlucky, they will become cadres directly after graduating from Peking University, and the level is not low, and their future is unlimited. .

 Knowing that the bicycle parts factory was going to have a dinner here, everyone became more and more aware of Suifeng Hotel.

The leaders all stood up. How could they dare to sit still? They all stood up in unison.

 “Director!”

After Deng Shirong had the idea of ​​buying a TV, he planned to ask Brother Zhang, a well-connected friend, if he could get the tickets normally. If he couldn't, he would just buy them from others at a high price. , as long as his price is high, there is no TV that cannot be bought.

However, compared with the scenery at the time, this effort was still worth it.

 “We should have a drink!”

 Nowadays, although it is picking up leftovers from other people’s meals, how could people of this era dislike this!

Generally speaking, drinkers are used to drinking on an empty stomach, but drinking on an empty stomach is very harmful, so Deng Shirong did not rush to drink. He first asked the waiter to serve him a bowl of white porridge, and then ate it with delicious pickles. After resting my stomach, I sat down and drank slowly with Zhang Guangzong.

 The employees of the bicycle parts factory were led by the factory leaders to Suifeng Hotel.

 He is a capable boss, his son is a Peking University student, and he has a close relationship with the leader’s daughter. Such a person is totally worth making friends with.

“Just eat it, how can these few dishes make me hungry?”

Now that the restaurant has suddenly added so many waiters, it would be surprising if the diners who know the red line are not surprised!

 But now after hearing Magistrate Song’s introduction, Li Chunhua and others’ eyes changed when they looked at Deng Shirong.

In the kitchen, the master chef Zhang Guofu still controls the overall situation. With the addition of four assistant cooks and 12 waiters, the efficiency of the kitchen has also skyrocketed. The waiter is responsible for washing the dishes, but for more time-consuming dishes such as meatballs and egg rolls, Zhang Guofu only needs to season them, and the rest is left to the kitchen assistant.

 …

 County Magistrate Song, a leader, naturally would not take such a long time to eat, so he left half an hour early.

“The boss is right, I will choose delicious food from now on, so don’t feel bad!”

 “Then I’ll trouble Brother Zhang!”

 At the entrance of the County Courthouse.

At this point, County Magistrate Song looked at Li Chunhua and others and said: "Director Li, Boss Deng's son is also studying in the capital. He is an alumnus of my eldest daughter. Although this is the first time that Boss Deng and I have met, because The relationship between the children can be regarded as acquaintances." Hearing this, Li Chunhua and other leaders were shocked. County Magistrate Song's eldest daughter was studying at Peking University. This was no secret in the county and they all knew it. , and the son of Boss Deng is an alumnus of the leader’s daughter, which means he is also a Peking University student.

Don't underestimate the three to five yuan. In this era when there is nowhere to make money, many rural people are happy if they can earn ten or eight yuan a month. Now they can earn three to five yuan just for one day's work. Then It’s really a good thing that you can’t find even with a lantern.

At the leadership table, County Magistrate Song saw so many dishes and said, "You should also pay attention to the impact!"

　　16 employees were all happy when they received their wages.

But in the 1980s and 1990s, the factory was still very powerful. Especially around 1987, among the professional manufacturers of bicycle full chain covers, the factory's production and sales of bicycle full chain covers ranked first in Guangxi and ranked first in the country. With three companies, it has become one of the three major chain cover manufacturers in the country, which can be said to be a great success.

 After all, the labor red line of Seventh Brother and Eighth Brother still firmly restricts the Chinese people in this era.

“Boss, if there is such a good thing next time, remember to inform us, we will be on call.”

"thank you boss!"

 After finishing packing, I greeted the boss respectfully, and then walked briskly home with my full harvest.

Of course, as the saying goes, money can make all the difference. If you are really willing to spend money, it is not difficult to buy a TV.

After toasting with wine and chatting with County Magistrate Song about their children, Deng Shirong found an excuse to leave, leaving time for the leaders of the bicycle parts factory. It was not easy for them to have the opportunity to meet with Magistrate Song, the leader in charge. If he takes up all the time for eating, people will definitely feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts even if they don't say it on the surface.

"Actually, our village has the conditions to receive electricity, because the only large reservoir in the county is not far from our village. Unfortunately, the power generated by Laohutou Reservoir is given priority to several surrounding communes. If there are village enterprises in the village that are in urgent need of electricity, , we can also give priority to electrification. A small and insignificant village like ours will naturally not be able to get electricity.”

 Twelve temporary waiters, plus the original four waiters, sixteen people served the dishes together, and the speed was still very fast.

Deng Shirong took a sip of the wine and said: "Life is something we cannot control. We may die in a few years, or we may live a hundred years. Who can say for sure about this kind of thing? What we have to do Just eat more delicious food while your teeth are still well, so that even if you leave one day, compared with others, we will not be at a loss in this life. "

Regular customers suddenly realized after hearing this that the red line between Seventh Brother and Eighth Brother refers to permanent employees. Employees who come to help temporarily will not be included in the calculation.

Deng Shirong understood that what Zhang Guangzong said was not an exaggeration. The life span of people in this era is not like that of later generations. They can live to seventy or eighty casually. Especially rural people who can live to be over sixty can be labeled as longevity. .

On the table in this designated area, there is a large plate of fried melon seeds. This is a gift from the hotel and is used for the employees to kill time by eating melon seeds and chatting.

 Deng Shirong did not show up during the whole process. He was satisfied with the handling of his eldest son.

Among these diners, except for a few new customers, the rest are all regular customers, who have been here at least twice. Some regular customers with good family conditions have even visited the restaurant more than ten times, basically every once in a while. Come on, he is considered a relatively awesome figure in this era.

Taking their Naye village as an example, there are not many people who die of illness in their forties or fifties. Looking at the whole village, there are really not many elderly people over sixty years old.

At this moment, Deng Shirong came over with a bottle of Maotai and said hello with a smile: "This big leader, and all the leaders of the bicycle parts factory, I am the hotel owner. Thank you for your support of our hotel. This bottle of wine is A little thought from our hotel, I hope all the leaders have a good meal and drink. ”

This is a celebration banquet for someone else's bicycle parts factory, so Deng Shirong will naturally not take over the honors.

Deng Shirong arrived at the hotel around nine o'clock in the morning, and Zhang Guangzong was already drunk when he arrived.

Suifeng Hotel has a total of 88 tables including private rooms. Although there are many tables for six and four, it can still accommodate a total of six to seven hundred people.

I have emphasized it many times before. The atmosphere of this era is different from that of later generations. In later generations, there was a "high-sounding" reason for packing: not to waste food, so packing has become a common practice and will not be laughed at.

“We are not old yet, we will definitely see this day.”
