Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 1232 Small Restaurant

When Han Li returned home at this time, there was no one at home. Usually, Han's father and mother would go to Houhaizi first after get off work, and then return to Mianhua Hutong after eating.

Even though Han Li would not live here often after getting married, his room was still kept very clean. All his clothes for all seasons were here, and now there were even more children's clothes and diapers.

Han Li returned to the house, changed into shorts and slippers, and washed himself thoroughly under the faucet with his bare chest.

She took out the largest enamel cup in the house, made herself a cup of tea, looked at the goldfish and flowers her father raised, then sat on the recliner in the yard, closed her eyes and rocked back and forth.

Not long after, the two crows that Han's father had raised and had been free-range flew back.

When they saw their master, they didn't dare to bark. They slowly landed on the recliner and climbed down along Han Li's arm.

Han Li knew it when the two crows landed, but he also liked to take a nap and was too lazy to open his eyes to tease them.

Time passed little by little, and Han Li was still taking a nap at home.

Old Liu had very little sleep due to his age. At this moment, he had already gotten up, washed his face, and came to the study. He took out the information and photos that Han Li had brought and started to look through them.

After a while, Mr. Liu asked Gong Jianglong to come in and pack up all these things and send them to a certain unit. Then he picked up the phone and made two consecutive calls.

The first is to call the relevant departments and ask them to properly preserve these materials and photos according to the corresponding confidentiality level.

The other call was to "that person". No one knew what they talked about, but there was constant laughter on both ends of the phone, which showed that the two of them had a good chat.

When Mr. Liu was on the phone, Mr. Guan was doing the same thing, but his call was to his son, because the Education Department was now in charge of Han Li, so it was legitimate for him to arrange some things for him.

Of course, they weren't the only two who wanted to make calls this afternoon.

However, the old guys had almost discussed it before Han Li returned home. It would not be a good idea for them to intervene in such a matter together. They should each play the role of main attack, auxiliary attack, or feint attack.

However, Liu Zhongcheng, Liu Zhongxin, Zhang Hailin, Zhang Ling, Hou Huidong, Hou Liru, Li Yunhua, Guan Haijiao, Song Guanghui, including Li Yunzhi who is far away in Shanghai, all received a call from their grandfather today.

As the workday was almost over, Han Li lazily sat up from the recliner, reached out to take the cold tea on the table next to him and drank it all in one gulp.

Han Li then stretched comfortably, touched the two crows next to him with his fingers, and took out some wild deer entrails from the decomposition space as a snack for them.

These two crows can be said to be the first ones that Han Li captured and trained using elementary beast taming techniques and survived.

So apart from their unpleasant voices and ugly appearance, they are far ahead of starlings and parrots in terms of intelligence, eloquence, speech, strength and reaction.

Han Li played with them in the yard for a while, and the sounds of people coming home from get off work and greeting their neighbors came from the alley.

Han Li waved his hand and let the two crows play by themselves. He stood up and washed his face at the faucet, then took the enamel cup into the house to refill it with water. He put on a three-hole vest, opened the street door and went to the alley with the large enamel cup in his hand.

It was not yet time for dinner, but Han Li, Yu Daqiang and a few childhood friends came to a privately owned restaurant on the shore of Shichahai, chatting and laughing all the way.

This restaurant occupies a room facing the street, which has been divided into two rooms by the owner. The smaller room inside serves as the kitchen, and the larger space outside is reserved for guests to eat.

The placement of five tables already makes the place very crowded. After the guests are seated, the people at the two adjacent tables are almost sitting back to back.

But now the weather is getting hotter, so the boss set up a few small tables and stools on the sidewalk outside.

Maybe everyone doesn't like to see the faces of the waiters in state-owned restaurants, and likes to enjoy the feeling of having food and drinks brought to them, so there are quite a lot of people coming here to eat.

When Han Li and his companions arrived, there was only one table left out of the five inside, and the six kids outside had already filled up four of the tables.

There were seven of Han Li's group, and they couldn't fit into one small table. So the boss enthusiastically put the two remaining small tables outside together.

Han Li took a look at the menu and the pile of aluminum barrels specially made by the brewery next to it, and he knew that the owner of this small restaurant had very good relationships with many units.

You have to know that people who can open their own restaurants these days cannot do without certain connections. Just having vision and courage is not enough, at least they can't stay open for long.

It doesn't mean that if you get into good times, you can get rich by just opening a restaurant or a braised meat shop.

Let’s not talk about other aspects for now, just the food, grain, oil, and alcohol are very rigid conditions.

If there is no corresponding relationship, and the hotel simply relies on the exclusive quotas given to the hotel, there is no way to meet daily needs, and the hotel's business is almost like fishing for three days and drying the net for two days.

Can I buy it on the black market?

This may seem like a good way to go, but it is not an easy way to go. First of all, the supplies on the black market are very expensive, and the profit of cooking the food you buy back will be very low.

Secondly, if the restaurant owner has been purchasing supplies from the black market for a long time, if he has not offended anyone and no one reports him, everything will be fine. However, as long as someone reports him, he will not be able to escape.

Therefore, during this period, many restaurant owners rode their bicycles to the rural areas of Hebei Province surrounding Sijiu City to purchase supplies from the production teams or villagers.

There is still some risk in doing this, but those bosses who dare to go to the rural areas of Hebei Province to purchase are not stupid. It will be easy if they have relatives or connections there.

If not, they will ask for help through various connections, just like matchmakers in ancient times asking matchmakers to help, and only take action after the connections are established.

This allows them to use relatives and friends as an excuse, thereby minimizing the risk.

However, even if those bosses have established good connections and found places to purchase supplies, they can only set out in the dark when it comes time to purchase goods, travel day and night, and try to get back before dawn.

If we can't get back before dawn, not only will it affect the hotel's sales, but we will also be easily stopped and checked by various law enforcement agencies on the road during the day.

This situation continued regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter, rain or shine, at least until August 89, 8. If one wanted to maintain business, this had to be repeated.

The matter does not end here. These restaurant owners must also be able to withstand credit sales, especially credit sales of certain departments. If the debts are collected in advance, the restaurant may not be able to continue operating.

Also, when those idle hutong urchins and old-timers are causing trouble, the restaurant owner must have someone strong enough to back him up, otherwise they will make trouble every few days and the restaurant will close sooner or later.

[Therefore, if you have the opportunity to travel back to this era, don't be fooled by the plots in certain novels or the inspirational stories of certain bosses, and don't rush into the catering industry.

If you don't have a job, you have to start a business. If you don't want to leave your hometown, you can go to Yangcheng and Shenzhen in the south to buy some clothes and electronic watches and sell them.

If there is no suitable store or appropriate relationship, then the best option is to sell locally and move to another place. 】

(Those who feel that what Mao Sui said is wrong can go and look for the true story about Feiji Mou and Shazi Nian.)——
Let's get back to the point. Although this small restaurant has beer, they won't sell it to anyone who isn't cooking there, even if you ask them to sell it to you at the end of the world.

However, our country is a society based on personal relationships. Han Li also discovered that as long as the boss's neighbors come to patronize and buy a cold dish here, the boss will also sell them beer.

Those who have a very good relationship with the boss not only don’t have to buy food, but sometimes the boss doesn’t even charge them for drinks.

This restaurant offers three kinds of beer glasses, which means there are four different pricing methods.

The first one is to use the bowls in their store. It is said that four bowls can hold one liter of beer.

The second type is a glass that can hold half a liter of beer.

The third type is a glass that can hold one liter of beer.

The fourth type is a large plastic cup that can hold two liters of beer.

Han Li and his friends are all in their twenties, at an age where they can eat and drink and care about their reputation. They would not choose to drink from a large bowl of wine, which is a low-class way of drinking.

In most cases, a half-liter cup is not enough for them to drink in one gulp, and a two-liter cup is too big. If they cannot finish the drink in a short time, not only will the taste be lost, but it will also not be cold.

So they finally chose the one-liter glass in the middle, and agreed before they started drinking that they were not allowed to change cups in the middle.

Han Li and his friends drank a cup together before their dishes came, and after two cups in a row, the fried peanuts were served.

(Everyone at the table drinks a full cup together.)
After Han Li and his friends drank three cups in a row, they were no longer in a hurry to drink and started chatting while eating peanuts.

Although it was called a chat, Han Li mainly talked about things happening in foreign countries, while the others talked about what happened at home in the past year.

Han Li told everyone he could about his experience in England over the past year. The things that made him feel nothing, but his childhood friend felt very fresh when he heard them, which caused a lot of commotion.

After the waitress heard Han Li talking about foreign things, she simply moved a stool nearby and sat down to listen when she had nothing to do.

When the people at the next table heard what was happening, they not only lowered their voices, but also leaned sideways and pricked up their ears to listen.

Because people are very curious about foreign things these days, especially after several foreign movies were shown in Sijiu City, the situation of eavesdropping on Han Li's conversation has a tendency to spread further away.

Han Li felt a great headache after discovering this situation, so he quickly turned the topic to his childhood friend.

"Da Qiang, I already have a son, but where is your partner? My aunt didn't urge you."
