The booming era begins with private customization

"Yi Da."

Qin Huairu had just opened her mouth and the sound had not yet been heard when she suddenly saw Yi Zhonghai turn around.

I brushed past the entrance of Quanjude and turned to a small stall selling sesame cakes nearby.

I bought a pancake and left without paying.

"Does Uncle Yi have other friends?"

Qin Huairu murmured softly, feeling indescribably strange in her heart.

Even though the situation is better now than in previous years, treating others to a meal is still something that only good friends can do.

After all, there is a fixed amount of food to eat. If you give it to me today, I will go hungry tomorrow.

If we are not good friends, everyone can be as confused as Sha Zhu.

"Okay, I thought I could save some money, but after all this time, it was all just wishful thinking."

With his head lowered, he timidly entered Quanjude.

Fortunately, Quanjude is now an external signboard, and even if the shares are redeemed, the attitude of the waiters here is still good.

There was no such thing as being bossy or losing temper.

She bought the roast duck with trepidation, and then packed the duck bones reluctantly. Only after she walked out of Quanjude and down two flights of stairs did Qin Huairu let out a long sigh of relief.

As I opened my eyes and let out a breath, I suddenly saw that there was no one at the pancake stall opposite!
Even the business is supported by the Yuanxiao seller next door.

"Did you have diarrhea? Or did you find out that Master Yi didn't pay you, so you ran to collect the money?"

Qin Huairu shrank her neck and didn't think too much about it.

Three or two cents for a sesame bun may not seem expensive, but these days it is all public business. If there is a real loss, the vendor will have to make up for it himself.

Nowadays, if someone loses a few cents, they will search through all the boxes and cabinets to find it.

Not every family is like Li Mao. Not to mention the several hundred yuan salary of the couple together, even the cousin who just returned from college earns several dozen yuan a month.

Thinking of Li Xiaomei, Qin Huairu's mood suddenly became gloomy again: "Bang Geng, my Bang Geng."

Qin Huairu, who was only concerned with her imagination, ignored Banggeng's instinct of not liking to study. She simply thought that if Banggeng grew up, he would definitely be able to go to a good university.

Then, when you become successful, you can earn several dozen yuan in salary.

Then their family became the richest family in the Siheyuan. After Banggeng got married, she could also experience the life of being a mother-in-law.

"Hey, comrade? Is there something wrong with the things you just bought?"

Before Qin Huairu finished her fantasy, she was suddenly startled by a voice behind her.

I turned around and looked at the waiter, who had a stiff smile on his face but was actually a little angry.

Qin Huairu smiled awkwardly.

After looking around, he realized that he was blocking someone else's door.

"Well, it just smelled so good that I lost focus. The roast duck was good, no problem.

Well, I'm leaving now. I'll come back to eat at the restaurant when I have the chance."

He didn't care about Qin Huairu's stiff expression.

The waiter standing at the door breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Qin Huairu was not intentionally causing trouble.

Not looking for trouble? That's fine!
A leader is having dinner upstairs today. If something goes wrong, she, as a waitress, will probably be scolded even if she has a stable job.

"Hey, welcome back next time."

As the waiter's expression relaxed, Qin Huairu didn't even realize that she actually wanted to eat a roast duck in the store openly.

Qin Huairu was sent away.

Everything in the store is going on as usual.

Some hidden corners returned to calm. At the Yuanxiao stall not far away, a middle-aged man sitting sideways picked up the spoon to eat Yuanxiao again.

Even the young ladies at the table with the best view in the store relaxed their tense bodies.

upstairs.

Private room.

Li Mao, who was invited, ate Lao Xu's salary for the first time.

"Wow, Old Xu, you're bleeding a lot today. What's the matter? Have you treated me to too much food recently? Have you eaten up all the meat coupons at home?"

Li Changyuan held a duck meat roll, sauce, onions and meat slices in his hand.

Although he said it jokingly, he showed no mercy with his hands.

Even though it only took a short while, Li Mao had already taken down seven or eight scrolls.

You can't slice much meat from this duck.

If you don't count the pancakes, duck gizzards and other snacks, the meat rolls made from a duck are not enough for Li Mao to eat by himself.

Of course, maybe Mr. Xu also took this into consideration, so he ordered two.

"Hey, you know that?"

Old Xu didn't care. He rolled one up and put it in his mouth. He also said, "You know I just like that pork elbow, but what about you?

Every time he comes to my place, he must order an elbow.

Other people follow the host's wishes, but when you come to my place, it's like you're in a restaurant, ordering only meat and no vegetables, and you can even take away what you eat.

You don’t know, those old friends around me are almost scared of me borrowing their bodies.

It wasn't just the past two years that we lost money. In the past two years, our family only had 2.7 jin of meat coupons per month.

If it were still that time? I would have stopped serving you with your cooking tips a long time ago."

Listening to Old Xu's chatter, Li Mao didn't look concerned at all.

He ate another duck roll and wiped his hands with the towel beside him.

I ate half of the roast duck and my stomach was filled. I didn't feel hungry anymore and was able to savor it slowly.

Although the first few minutes of fullness can be filled with other things.

But with roast duck in front of you, who would want to eat bad food when there is good one?
Not to mention that Li Mao's taste has long been spoiled.

There's such a big business out there, even if you can't buy things at home, you can't have them delivered?
Before his cheap brother-in-law Du Weiguo was transferred back to the railway entrance, Li Mao never lacked food.

Now that he's been transferred back, how can we do without him?

"Hey, Old Xu, I see that you are just taking advantage of others. Did I order that for myself? Didn't you eat it?
Yes, I ate and took some later, but I only went to your place a few times in total.
You can't treat me as a great sage who can settle all the accounts and throw all the blame on me!
Let me make it clear first, I am eating your share! If you want to exchange it with other brothers in the compound, that's your business!

Even if you want to blame me for this, I won't take the blame!"

I chewed half of it in one bite. This time, the duck meat roasted with fruit wood mixed with the sauce that was blended with the aroma of fruit wood and the taste of green onion spread in my mouth.

Compared to the previous hasty swallowing, it is indeed much more fragrant.

I don’t know whether the craftsmanship has changed in later generations, or the ingredients have changed, or the fruit wood is not pure.

Li Mao never tasted such a fruity wood flavor in the roast duck of later generations. Of course, it is also possible that he did not use enough seasonings, leaving enough space for this unique flavor.

"Hey, kid, what do you mean by eating my portion? Can't you eat the portion I shared with others?
Okay, I won’t talk to you about this anymore. You are a cunning guy, and you have become more and more cunning over the years. "

Old Xu stuffed half of it into his mouth in annoyance.

"Nonsense, how could you come up with so many things without being cunning? There are many honest people, but I haven't seen many who can get things for us.

In my opinion, people should not be too honest. Not only do honest people suffer losses, but they are also easily bullied. "

Li Mao curled his lips, not showing any fear at all.

"But speaking of things, tsk, I have to say, Li Mao, you are quite capable! Our people have already got those things.

Some things are like breaking through a layer of window paper. You don’t see the object, but you just can’t understand why such a design is feasible.

And then there is the technology, especially as it relates to materials.

I heard from them that after receiving the things, many old professors were heartbroken.

Tsk tsk, Li Mao, you are really good. I heard that after the things were obtained, many people on the Bald Eagle side raised objections.

In other words, the thing is already in our hands, so we have to take it back with a pinch of our nose.

If we were slower, who knows if they would play tricks on this.

Anyway, our people have retreated, if they play tricks, we really can't do anything to them for a while."

Old Xu also expressed his feelings.

Although they were eating outside, Old Xu knew better than anyone how many outsiders were in the restaurant.

Take the private room upstairs for example. It’s just him and Li Mao now.

Even the waiter couldn't come up.

"Okay, okay, Old Xu, we're family! Don't use those little tricks on me! Just tell me, what happened this time?"

They are all old acquaintances. Even if others don't know, how could Li Mao not know Lao Xu's temper?
He is saying nice things now, he must be targeting something again.

Old Xu had been through a lot, his face only turned red for a moment, then was covered up by other emotions: "Hahaha, Li Mao, Li Mao, you kid! Okay, I won't hide it from you, we just have some things that we produce too much, if you have a way, we won't send them to the port secretly.

It's just a matter of exchanging things, so it's more convenient to leave it at your place. Once on the ship, you can just issue an entry and exit certificate there."

Li Mao did not refute what Old Xu said, but just sneered and snorted: "Why didn't you say that you still have to pay taxes?
Old Xu, you have earned a favor, but what about me? I have to find a way to conceal the origin of the things and pay taxes on both ends.

In order to cover up the matter, they may have to set up a shell company at the port.

Now that shell companies have done this, will this become a normal thing in the future? I don’t have many people at the port, so I will still order from my hometown.

Hmm? Wait! Old Xu! You're not planning on doing this, are you? "

Li Mao argued in his mouth, and suddenly realized that he was almost tricked by Lao Xu!
"Hey, hey, hey, it's nothing, I just want you to do me a favor."

Old Xu acted like nothing had happened and just laughed it off, trying to cover it up.

But Li Mao still discovered a slight inconsistency.

At that time, there was no systematic teaching of micro-expressions in my hometown.

Even with Lao Xu's many years of experience, there are bound to be some shortcomings: "No! Lao Xu, you hesitated! I was wondering why you were so arrogant today.

After all this time, it turns out this is a Hongmen Banquet!

You set up a shell company today, and you dare to leave me a mess tomorrow!

By the day after tomorrow, won’t we have to borrow a chicken to lay eggs?

Old Xu, Old Xu, you are really amazing! "

"No! Li Mao, listen to my explanation!"

After hearing what Li Mao said, Old Xu, who was originally trying to cover it up, suddenly became a little confused.

If it were someone else, Old Xu might not have taken it seriously, but the key point was that this kid Li Mao knew too many things while he was out there.

More importantly, I haven’t gotten any help from my hometown yet.

No help? This made it difficult for Old Xu to get started.

"Explanation? What to explain? Explanation is covering up, and covering up is the truth! What a big deal!

Can't you just say it directly? I thought you were going to kill me, the New Year pig, and eat my meat.

Isn't it just a matter of borrowing a road?

You guys can set up a factory yourself, and I will let Chen Xueru help cover you there.

Don't tell me there's no one from my hometown over there. If you dare to say there's no one, I'll drink some white wine and spray it in your face!"

As soon as Li Mao said this, Old Xu was stunned on the spot.

The emotion on his face had not yet been expressed, but his shaking hands had already betrayed Lao Xu's thoughts: "You are not angry?"

For people like Lao Xu, although Li Mao has a good family background, some things he did did violate their interests.

Even saints can hold grudges, let alone ordinary people.

"Why are you so angry?" Li Mao poked his head out suspiciously, swallowed the duck roll in his mouth, and looked at himself again: "Isn't it just about borrowing the road?
Isn't it just using my connections to sell things from my hometown? What's the big deal?
As for that place, I wish the whole market belonged to us. As long as we don't squeeze each other on price, even if you take up the rest of the market, I will only be proud and won't say anything else.

"Old Xu, I have a good family background, you can't doubt this!"

Li Mao snorted in annoyance, looking insulted, and raised his hand to point at Old Xu: "Because of this, when I leave today, you have to pack two roast ducks!
Not only will I pack it up and take it away, I will also put it on your account! What do you think, Old Xu, do you acknowledge it or not?"

"I recognize them! I recognize them! Not to mention two, even if it's ten... ahem, even if it's three, I'll recognize them too!"

Seeing Li Mao's eyes suddenly brighten and then dim, Lao Xu took a towel beside him and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "It's not that I'm stingy, it's just that at this critical moment, my salary is not enough to spend!

We have two on our table today alone, and you can pack up two more later. With all the miscellaneous items included, it will cost more than twenty or thirty dollars.

There's still some time before salary is paid. You can't ask my wife for money whenever I want to buy something, right?

I am old now, you have to give me some respect at home."

Old Xu was half begging for mercy and half explaining.

Apart from anything else, just seeing the way Li Mao's eyes lit up just now, Old Xu was really worried that he wouldn't be able to tell the difference between good and bad words.

After giving such a great face, Li Mao still insisted on having some. Could Xu still refuse?
Just give it to me if you insist?

if not!
This is such a big favor, and the foreign exchange involved is calculated in millions.

It would be unreasonable not to give you a few roast ducks!
"Tsk, I thought you were so big, okay, I'll give you a favor today and pack two for you later.

Sister Bai Ling has been working hard to help me take care of my wife all day, and I can give her half of it later."

That’s what Li Mao said.

If he really wants to eat it, it's not like he can't afford it.

Just looking at Lao Xu's embarrassment, I felt a sense of joy in my heart.

Just as the two were chatting, there was a sudden knock on the door: "Leader, something happened. Someone died nearby." (End of this chapter)
