Chapter 47

When the three of them went to the breakfast restaurant, Ye Qiu saw Qin Lu walking in front of them with Qin Guowenchao, but when they passed the county and town hall, the two walked in.

Ye Qiu and the others left without paying too much attention, and then followed Tang Weishan straight to Dongpo State Camp for breakfast.

The predecessor of Dongpo State-owned Hotel is Dongpo Shiji, which is said to have a history of thousands of years.This breakfast shop was frequented by Su Dongpo when he belittled Guojiang County as the county magistrate.

Later, Su Dongpo did many facts for the people in Guojiang County.In order to commemorate him, the people named this restaurant Dongpo Cookbook.The street where this restaurant is located is called Dongpo Road.It has been called for thousands of years.

Because of this legend, and because Dongpo Shiji itself serves good food, Dongpo Road and Dongpo Shiji are quite famous in Guojiang County.

It was only later that Dongpo Shiji became state-owned.Then reforms were carried out, and Dongpo Shiji became a state-owned breakfast restaurant in Dongpo.

The previous Dongpo Shiji was a two-story wooden frame stilted building built according to the mountains of Guojiang County.The second floor is a hollow design, sitting on the second floor.Because it is located above the center of Guojiang County, one side can overlook the entire Dongpo Road, and the other side can see the scenery of half of Guojiang County under Dongpo Shiji and the faint city C opposite Guojiang County.

Only after it was nationalized, Dongpo Food Shop not only changed its name, but was overthrown and rebuilt, a four-story blue brick and tile house.Also because of its geographical location.The building is divided into two parts.Not only to buy breakfast, but also to receive people who come and go to and from the accommodation.

The two parts are operated independently, the first and second floors are planned to sell breakfast, and the third and fourth floors are for accommodation.So there is still Dongpo State-run Hotel on the third floor.Because the third and fourth floors are higher, the view is wider.Therefore, most of those who have been to Guojiang County for office work like to live here.

The working hours of the breakfast department are from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm.Tang Weishan knew about such a special restaurant because he heard it from Fan Huacheng.

The three of Ye Qiu walked in.

On the right hand side of the door is the counter, and a staff member is selling tickets for those who line up for breakfast.Facing the door is the hall, with ten square tables and benches.On the table are chopsticks and a white iron cup with the slogan "Serve the People" printed on it.All kinds of slogans are pasted on the blue brick walls around, and there is a wall decorated with various cigarette pack papers.

Tang Weishan went to buy a ticket first, and then took the food with the ticket, but at this time, because of the food shortage, the state-run restaurant also limited the supply.Each person cannot buy more than three taels.

From the present point of view, the vast majority of people can eat enough to eat three taels.But in that era, people were in a state of hunger, and three taels of food were only enough for an adult to eat seventy percent full.However, it is not bad to be seventy percent full.

Dongpo State-run Hotel was also a breakfast shop in the past, so there are quite a lot of breakfast types.There are not only noodles, steamed buns, steamed buns, buns, but also white porridge, vegetable porridge, wild vegetable rice, sweet potato leaves, bean sprouts, gray vegetables, tofu with bean curd, fried dough sticks and soy milk.

Noodles are generally two corners two, and those with diced meat are triangles.Five cents for steamed buns, ten cents for steamed buns.All kinds of vegetable porridge cost two bowls for five cents, while plain porridge costs three cents per bowl.A bowl of wild vegetables and dried rice triangles, sweet potato leaves, bean stalks, gray vegetables, etc. are a small dish for a penny.As for tofu and soy milk, it is more expensive, a small bowl is a dime.Fried dough sticks are more expensive, three cents each.This is due to the lack of oil, but fried dough sticks are very expensive, so the price is more expensive.

Tang Weishan bought five steamed buns, three buns, a stack of pickled vegetables and three bowls of noodles.Steamed buns cost five cents a piece, five cents for a total of twenty-five cents, and steamed buns cost a penny for a total of three cents.A stack of pickled pickles for two cents.Three bowls of noodles with diced meat cost nine cents, a total of one yuan and five cents.

Ye Qiu was a little surprised when he saw Tang Weishan bought so much, he didn't eat much at Tang's house.But after thinking about it in a blink of an eye, he is young after all, and professional training is physically demanding, so he must eat a lot.And the reason why the Tang family didn't have enough to eat was because they felt sorry for their parents.

Tang Guizhi's eyes lit up when he saw what the waiter brought over, "Wow, sister-in-law, there are snow-white shredded pork noodles, as well as white-faced steamed buns and buns."

"Hurry up and eat." Tang Weishan said.

Ye Qiu also nodded with a smile, and picked up the chopsticks by the way, she was also a little hungry.

The three of them were very satisfied with this meal.Ye Qiu and Tang Guizhi are girls with relatively small appetites. After eating a bowl of noodles, a steamed bun and buns, they couldn't eat any more.And Tang Weishan wiped out all the remaining food.

After the three finished eating, the number of people in the breakfast shop gradually increased.The three left the Dongpo state-run breakfast shop.

Various shops on the street are also slowly opening, and the working hours of the factories have also arrived.Cycling, walking, people coming and going.

After getting out of the breakfast restaurant, Tang Weishan took Ye Qiu and Tang Guizhi with ease to the next Yujiang Bridge Road, which was on the same level as Dongpo Road.Yujiang Bridge Road can be regarded as a relatively prosperous street in the county. There is a small department store on the second floor on the street.

Tang Weishan walked in with Ye Qiu and Tang Guizhi.

Then I did not know where to take out the tobacco and alcohol tickets, and bought first-class cigarettes and alcohol.Tang Weishan originally wanted to buy sixteen packs of cigarettes and ten catties of the most famous sorghum wine in Guojiang County.But because both of these are monthly supplies.So in the end, I only bought eight packs of cigarettes and six catties of wine.

At that time, the supply of cigarettes and alcohol was divided into small households, sixteen packs for large households, and eight packs for small households.The smoke above the triangle is Class A, and the smoke below the triangle is Class B.Tickets are required for trips above the triangle.

However, when some people became addicted to cigarettes, they had to lose face and smack face to face with the female salesperson.They gathered in front of the counter, stretched their necks and asked, "Can I buy Class A cigarettes with Class B tickets? Let's put a yard and do good deeds!"

Or they will "lobby" to the elderly who come to buy cigarettes, "You are old, you can buy two candies for your grandson if you are not good at smoking cigarettes, and exchange the good cigarette tickets for me, I call you grandpa can also."Just like this, he lingered and refused to go away, stinging at the counter like a swarm of flies.

Ye Qiu has heard people say in his previous life that these smokers will also adopt the method of "transferring flowers and grafting trees" to alter and graft cigarette tickets. Their usual trick is to paste and splicing numbers, or use pens of the same color to modify numbers. Yu girl is as careful as embroidery, and if she is not careful, she will be fooled by them.

And those crude tickets often have some instructions printed on them: "Develop the economy, ensure supply", "Strictly prohibit buying and selling", "Serve the people, supply by ticket", a face of righteousness makes people feel scared in the palm of their hands. sweat.

The three of them left the department store with their things, then walked west along Yujiang Bridge Road, and then arrived at a square.

Tang Guizhi spoke suddenly, "Fifth brother, fifth sister-in-law, movie theater, movie theater."

Ye Qiu found that they had arrived at the Guojiang County Auditorium, and a door on the right side of the auditorium building had the words "Red Sun State-owned Cinema" written on it.Emotional Tang Weishan is looking for a movie theater?Ye Qiu couldn't help but touch his forehead.The earliest show in the cinema is also after four o'clock.

But she could also understand that after all, Tang Weishan had been away for many years and was not familiar with Guojiang County.Seeing that Tang Weishan was going to knock on the door, Ye Qiu couldn't help but said, "The movie theater won't open early!" Is this because the soldier has no common sense?

Tang Weishan glanced at Ye Qiu, "I'm here to find someone."

"..." Ye Qiu suddenly remembered the cigarettes and alcohol that Tang Weishan had bought.

The door of the movie is the kind of door with a small door behind it. When Tang Weishan knocked, the small door opened. A fat old man in his 60s poked his head out. He was not as arrogant as ordinary state-owned enterprise employees, but smiling. Like a Maitreya Buddha, "Comrade, the cinema starts selling tickets at four o'clock."

"Uncle Wu, I used to be under Liu Tuan." When Tang Weishan first entered the army, Liu Jianhua led him, and because he was from C City, he took good care of him.Later Liu Jianhua was hit by a bullet in a battle.His life was recovered, but because of the nerve injury caused by the bullet, he could no longer carry out strenuous exercise.

In desperation, Liu Jianhua returned from a job change and became the director of a district in City C.But when he left the team, he used his connections to transfer him and Fan Huacheng to the current team.

The last time Tang Weishan came back to visit relatives, it was Liu Jianhua who came to pick him up at the C City Railway Station.He also told him that if he had anything to do, he could contact the old man at the gate of the movie theater. This man was Liu Jianhua's father-in-law Wu Chengyuan.

"Tang Weishan from Wudu Town?" Wu Chengyuan heard the words, stood up, looked up and down, and praised, "He's a good guy." After a pause, he remembered that Tang Weishan must be looking for him for something, so he said, "What's the matter?" Whatever you say, if you can do it, Uncle will definitely do it for you."

Tang Weishan hurriedly called Ye Qiu and Tang Guizhi over, and then introduced to Wu Chengyuan, "Uncle Wu, this is my wife Ye Qiu and my younger sister Tang Guizhi."

Ye Qiu and Tang Guizhi hurriedly said, "Hello, Uncle Wu."

"Okay, okay." Wu Chengyuan said with a smile, "Just tell me what you have to say. Jianhua has confessed that he treats you like a brother. Don't be polite to uncle."

Although Tang Weishan's expression didn't change much, his heart was warmed by these words, and he looked at Wu Chengyuan sincerely, "Uncle Wu, I haven't had time to visit you, this time I will bring my wife and younger sister to the county to have fun. , take a look at Uncle Wu." He said and passed the things over.

But Ye Qiu recognized Wu Chengyuan who looked like a Maitreya Buddha.The appearance is fat and fat, but it makes people feel amiable when he smiles.But this is just an appearance.This is a very powerful old man.

The Wu family where Wu Chengyuan belongs has been passed down for 100 years. When it was passed down to Wu Chengyuan's father, the Wu family was already the richest man in Guojiang County.But when it was passed down to Wu Chengyuan's generation, it just happened to go through such a special period.But he was able to secretly preserve the Wu family in such a special age without being criticized himself.It can be seen that his wrist is definitely not as kind as he showed.

Wu Chengyuan's skills are great, and it is also due to Wu Chengyuan's great vision.

Today, one of Wu Chengyuan's sons is the political commissar of a certain military region, and the other is the head of the regiment.And son-in-law Liu Jianhua is the director of District A of City C.As a result, the Wu family had a great moment in Guojiang County.

And at the very beginning of this movement, Wu Chengyuan took the initiative to donate the Wu family's ancestral house in Guojiang County.But because the Wu family has contributed to the party and the people, the ancestral house was returned to the Wu family.Wu Chengyuan was also assigned a job - the gatekeeper of the movie theater, and he ate commercial food.

So in this reform, the Wu family can be regarded as a complete victory.Not only did he change the family, but he also secretly preserved the Wu family's property. After the society opened up, the son of the Wu family's political commissar changed his job and started his business relying on the family's old antique gold.When Ye Qiu and Tang Weishan left, the Wu family was already the richest man in City C.

When Wu Chengyuan heard the words, he pretended to be angry and said something to Tang Weishan.But under Tang Weishan's repeated and respectful request, he accepted the things.Then he said that he would watch a movie later, and Wu Chengyuan immediately said that he would keep three seats.I will come directly to him to get a ticket later.

The three of them thanked each other and left.

Tang Weishan took Ye Qiu and Tang Guizhi back to the Dongpo State-owned Breakfast Shop first, went up to the third floor and took out the letter of introduction to book two rooms, then left the things in the hotel, and then started to visit Guojiang County.

There are four famous places in Guojiang County. They are Binjiang Road, Yujiang Bridge Road, Hongxing Square, and Dongpo Road along the mountain from the Wujiang River.The four places are in the same direction as the Wujiang River, but go up along the mountain.Several parallel roads have intersecting street links, forming the entire transportation network of Guojiang County.

The three of Ye Qiu walked from Yujiang Bridge Road to Binjiang Road.

All kinds of boats are coming and going outside Binjiang Road, which is very lively.Then walk from Binjiang Road to the top of the mountain, passing Yujiang Bridge Road, Red Star Square.

Because Tang Guizhi had never been to a city before, her eyes were full of curiosity.All the way was her questioning.

For most of the day, Tang Weishan bought a fashionable white shirt, a pair of navy blue trousers, a pair of black leather shoes, and a pink silk scarf from Shanghai for Ye Qiu.

I bought an autumn windbreaker, black pants, and leather shoes for Tang Guizhi.

The two spent a total of nearly a hundred yuan for Tang Weishan.Ye Qiu was a little curious, didn't Tang Weishan give Fan Huafen three hundred yuan, how could he still have money?
Tang Guizhi saw that the fifth elder brother Tang Weishan was spending money like running water, his feet trembling uncontrollably, so he quickly refused to let him buy it.But Tang Weishan thought that Tang Guizhi hadn't worn any good clothes since he was born, and even the clothes he was wearing today were patched.So he didn't listen to Tang Guizhi's words, and bought it directly.

And Tang Guizhi held the clothes, pants and shoes, and couldn't help but feel happy.She has never worn leather shoes before!But thinking about the price of these clothes, he became entangled for a while.

Until Ye Qiu also expressed his opinion, saying that her little girl should dress up at a young age.Tang Guizhi thought about it before accepting it.

Ye Qiu originally wanted to take pictures, but he didn't expect that it was already past noon, so the three of them found a restaurant for lunch.

Ye Qiu started to bring things for his family.After a stroll, the three of them carried a lot of bags.

And it's time for movie tickets to go on sale.

Taking three tickets from Wu Chengyuan, the three went back to the hotel after watching "The Red Detachment of Women" and "The Iron Giant".
