Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 276 Too busy

Beijing. Beiguan Village!
Early in the morning, Li Yi came back from Dong'an Market again!
The flat-bed tricycle hired to pull the goods was carrying a cart full of meat and vegetables. There were three whole deboned sheep, more than 100 kilograms of beef, and a large amount of pork, chicken, and various seasonal vegetables.

In the past few days, as the grassland fat cattle and sheep have gradually become famous among the nearby elite circles, there is an endless stream of guests coming to eat every day.

Although the prices at the shabu-shabu restaurant are not cheap, the per capita consumption of eating here is about ten yuan. If you drink some good wine, the cost will be even higher.

But the people who come here to eat are either business executives or government officials, or people like Jiang Longcheng who have big business units. To be honest, these people are really not short of money.

It’s not that they are rich, but that no matter how much money these people spend, their employer will reimburse them.

Regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, this is the reality!

Because of this, the restaurant opened by Li Yi these days, which specializes in barbecue and shabu-shabu, has become a good place for nearby elites to gather for dinner.

As more people come to eat, the store's turnover naturally increases, and profits also grow rapidly.

From a profit of only 4 yuan on the first day, I can now earn 1000 yuan a day.

This speed can be called a money grab!

Dongzi and others in the store had already cleaned up. When they saw Li Yi and the others coming back, they immediately came out to help unload the goods.

After watching the three-wheel master leave, several people immediately got busy, preparing to welcome the noon guests.

It is true that business has improved during this period, but everyone is also busier.

In the past few days, everyone, including Li Yi himself, has been severely lacking in sleep every day.

Every day they need to go to the market early in the morning to buy meat, vegetables, and occasionally seasonings and drinks.

When we get back to the store, we have to quickly marinate the beef and mutton, and prepare other ingredients.

Except for an occasional one or two hour break after get off work at noon, I am busy the rest of the time.

In just a few days, several of the little brothers were almost choked.

The most important thing is that there are some things that boys can't do in the restaurant. For example, picking vegetables, washing vegetables, and washing pots and dishes are far less neat and tidy than girls.

In fact, Li Yi also wanted to hire a few lesbians to help, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

Sometimes I can't get hired, but I don't dare because there's a damn eight-person rule these days.

That is to say, hiring eight workers is considered a capitalist and it constitutes exploitation.

In fact, this is just an example given by others, but it is regarded as a "golden rule" by some people, and whether the number of employees exceeds 8 is regarded as a criterion for whether there is exploitation and whether it is a self-employed or a private owner.

No, you can survive!
Yes, pack it up resolutely!

And this kind of debate continued until the release of "Document No. 1987" in 5, and a clear conclusion was reached.

Prior to this, if anyone dared to have more than eight employees, you would definitely be arrested and set an example.

Li Yi's head is not that strong, so he doesn't dare to be so reckless!

But this is not the way to go. After some thinking, Li Yi decided to transfer a few more people from his hometown.

If you transfer people from your own family, you don't have to worry about hiring someone else.

The first thing Li Yi thought of was the second sister Li Lan and Liu San'er. Although the second sister had not read much, she was good at business.

It's not a big problem to ask her to help him look after the store, and with her watching in the store, he can also take time to go home and take a look.

As for Liu San, let alone this kid, if he is asked to follow him to do purchasing or something, he will definitely be able to do the job.

Thinking of this, Li Yi decided to contact his family as soon as possible.

Considering that writing a letter was too slow, and sending a telegram was difficult to explain clearly and could easily scare people, Li Yi decided to make a phone call.

But since there was no phone at home, Li Yi decided to call Li Gang from the county bureau and ask him to help him get home.

He did know the phone number of the county bureau, but there was no public phone at the moment. After thinking about it again and again, Li Yi thought of Jiang Longcheng in the cotton spinning factory.Taking advantage of the fact that there was still some time before the Master's visit at noon, Li Yi immediately asked Dongzi, Qiangzi and others to look at the store, while he walked directly towards the cotton spinning factory not far away.

Standing at the door of the cotton spinning factory again, looking at the four characters "worsted and fine weaving" at the top of the door and the wooden sign "State-owned Capital Second Cotton Spinning Factory", Li Yi felt somewhat complicated.

In his previous life, he stayed here for three and a half months, which was also the most difficult period of his life.

Li Yi himself doesn't know what his life would have been like if Jiang Longcheng and the cotton spinning factory hadn't taken him in.

It’s a pity that such a factory with a glorious history,
It was eventually submerged in the rolling tide of the times and became one of the countless state-owned factories that went bankrupt in the 90s.

And these workers in the factory will eventually become one of the countless laid-off workers.

Just as Li Yi was sighing, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a blue worker's uniform walking out of the reception room at the door.

He looked at Li Yi carefully, and then said: "Comrade, I see you have been standing here for a while, what's the matter?"

Lao Qiao, an ordinary employee in the security department of the cotton spinning factory, is kind-hearted and helpful, and is recognized as a good person.

Li Yi smiled and said: "Hello, I am a friend of your factory director Jiang Longcheng. I have something to do with him. Please call the factory office!"

"You are a friend of our factory director, why haven't I seen you?"

Knowing that he didn't believe it, Li Yi immediately said: "Comrade, you don't have to wonder, you can find out just by making a phone call, and it won't take much time!"

"Then what's your name?"

"Li Yi!"

"What about the unit?"

"No need to say this, just tell the people in the factory office and ask them to tell Jiang Longcheng that Li Yi came to see him!" Li Yi said.

"This"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of you if something happens!"

Lao Qiao was doubtful, but with his easy-going personality, he returned to the communication room and called the factory office.

At this time, in the factory affairs office, Jiang Longcheng had just finished a regular meeting and was reprimanding several heads of the sales department.

Since the beginning of this year, the factory has seen fewer and fewer orders and a serious backlog of products.

At present, the upstream brother units are demanding money from them for raw materials, but the products produced by their own factory cannot be sold, which has seriously affected the efficiency of the factory.

Jiang Longcheng knew very well that if things continued like this, their state-owned No. [-] Cotton Spinning Factory might face the same fate as the nearby casting factory and have to ask the city for money.

Jiang Longcheng did not want to see this situation anyway, so he could only put pressure on the people in charge of the sales department to find a way to push out the backlog of products in the factory and quickly recycle funds.

But the heads of the sales department were also at a loss. They had already thought of all the ways they could think of, but with little effect.

Just as these people were preparing to welcome Factory Director Jiang's thunderstorm, there was a clear knock on the door outside the office.

Hearing the sound, several people in the sales department breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come in!"

"Squeak!"

After the office door was pushed open, everyone saw Secretary Wang from the general office walking in with his hips squirming, and then came to Jiang Longcheng to report: "Director, there was a call from the other side of the door, saying that there was a A young man named Li Yi came to see you, and he even said he was your friend!"

Jiang Longcheng was immediately stunned when he heard the word "Li Yi".

Then, he hurriedly said: "Call the guards immediately and ask them to take the person away. Forget it, I'd better go there in person!"

After saying that, Jiang Longcheng stood up from his seat.

Then he hurriedly ran out of the office, leaving only a few people in the sales department looking at each other.
