The Era of Hard Work

   Chapter 248 Life is a good taste (please subscribe)

  On weekends, in this small county where the public-owned economy still dominates, parents who are off-duty have time to take their children out for a walk, find a place to play, or buy something delicious.

   In this county, the most powerful consumer groups are those who work in various enterprises and institutions.

  Cheng Ligang went out in the middle of the morning to help the leader deliver some materials, and it was past ten o'clock when he returned to his home in the dormitory of the Health Bureau.

   The girl who is in junior high school is sitting on the sofa in the living room, flipping through an evening newspaper he ordered.

   "Lili, finished the homework?" Cheng Ligang wiped his sweat and asked.

Cheng Lili looked up and said, "I finished writing last night." She flipped out a coloring page from the newspaper and said, "Dad, my brother just called and asked me if I was on summer vacation, let me Go to the South to play with him."

   "Cheng Tao?" Cheng Ligang didn't think much about it: "My mother and I have to go to work, so we don't have time to take you there. You are too young to go by yourself."

  Cheng Lili was not very happy and muttered: "My brother said he made a fortune in the south and asked our family to go there together, and he covered all the expenses."

  Cheng Ligang thought of his nephew who went south, and sighed softly, all his father did, and said, "I'll talk about it when your mother and I are free."

  Although I have been implicated and made a cold bench, I still have to go to work. Besides, leisure is also good for leisure, a newspaper, a cup of tea, and a free time.

   He used to be busy all day, but now he understands the true meaning of chaos, and it’s not bad to retire like this.

  Cheng Lili suddenly brought a coloring page: "Dad, if we don't go to the south, can you take me to eat something good?"

  Cheng Ligang looked at his daughter, his eyes full of love: "What the **** do you have in mind?"

   "There is a new store opening on the commercial street. There was an advertisement on the TV station yesterday." Cheng Lili showed Cheng Ligang the coloring page: "Dad, take a look, we also have a hamburger restaurant in Qingzhao, and it's opened by a foreigner!"

  Cheng Ligang took over the coloring page, there was a striking brown-haired foreigner on the advertisement, and the advertisement slogan - Burger King, the taste from the exotic!

   Look at the address again, it is in the middle of the commercial street, directly opposite Hualian Commercial Building.

  Cheng Ligang is no stranger to these advertisements. In the past week, he has seen many advertisements of Burger King on the billboards on the street and in the hands of people who advertise on the side of the road.

The    address is the head office of Yang Lao Da Fei Yang Hotpot.

   He used to eat at this restaurant a lot, but since last year...

  Cheng Ligang shook his head slightly.

  Cheng Lili said: "Dad, can you take me with you? You have no time, give me the money, I can go by myself." She dragged her voice: "Dad..."

  Cheng Ligang had no choice but to say, "Let's go, I'll take you there."

  The father and daughter went downstairs, Cheng Ligang launched a motorcycle from the suite in front of the building and took his daughter to the commercial street.

Before I got to the commercial street, I saw a huge billboard on the top of the supply and marketing building. There was a familiar male foreigner and a golden-haired female foreigner on it. There were advertisements in addition to the hamburger chicken wings - with Burger King, Life is delicious!

   Cheng Lili looked at the advertisement and wanted to try it more and more.

   As soon as I turned to the commercial street, I saw colorful flags fluttering in front of me, and I heard gongs and drums.

On the north side of the middle section of the   , a large number of people gathered, and it looked like there were at least a few hundred people.

   The children are so lively, Cheng Lili is excited, Cheng Li just stopped the car, jumped out of the back seat, and ran over to join in the fun.

   There were too many people, Cheng Ligang was worried and quickly put the car away.

  The sound of the gongs and drums stopped, and then I heard the singing. I looked carefully, and a very beautiful female foreigner was singing with a microphone.

   Although I don’t understand it, the sound is nice.

   In a small place like Qingzhao, it is too rare for foreigners. Many people are seeing a real foreigner with high nose and deep eyes for the first time.

   As we all know, young Slavic women, if they are beautiful, they will look even more beautiful after wearing makeup, as long as they don’t have children and get married, they are very attractive.

  Natasha aroused applause, and even the cameras of the county TV station couldn't help filming.

The crowd around    is like watching rare animals and plants, watching the performance of foreigners.

   After the female foreigner finished singing, the gongs and drums sounded again. This time, it was not a foreign product, but a lion dance full of oriental charm.

   Cheng Ligang can see that the store has put a lot of effort into today's opening ceremony.

   After the gun salute, the opening ceremony entered the most crucial one - ribbon cutting!

   Seeing the people who attended the ribbon-cutting, Cheng Ligang was a little short of breath.

   As a staff member of an administrative unit, especially as a leader, he naturally knew all the top leaders in the county.

  This store is amazing, two members of the Standing Committee cut the ribbon at one time!

   The two people standing in the middle, the young one is the director of the University Town Management Committee, and the middle-aged one is the deputy county magistrate in charge of investment promotion.

   Accompanying them was the brown bear-like foreigner in the advertisement.

   There is another person who looks very familiar.

   Tall and sturdy body, slightly darkened face, slightly honest smile, it is the man named Lu Dong from Lujia Village!

   Right across from them, the camera of the county TV station has been filming. Cheng Ligang believes that the opening and ribbon-cutting of this store will definitely appear in Qingzhao News tonight.

  This is no ordinary shop!

  Cheng Ligang suddenly laughed and looked at Lu Dong, who was among the ribbon-cutters. He was helpless with a bit of self-mockery. He could get the leaders of the two counties to cut the ribbon together. Is this an ordinary person? Cheng Lifeng's defeat last year was not wrong at all.

  The ribbon-cutting ended, and Burger King officially opened for business. Cheng Ligang glanced at Lv Dong and other people who were sending the leader away, thoughtful.

   "Dad!" Cheng Lili pulled Cheng Ligang and hurriedly queued up to enter the store: "Hurry up! Hurry up! We hurry up, if we don't hurry up, we won't even be able to line up!"

   There were too many people, and they all lined up to enter the store. Cheng Ligang looked around and found many familiar faces.

   For example, the one on the left who leads his seven or eight-year-old son is a section chief in the industry and commerce.

  For example, there are several people in front of you, there is a director of the tax bureau.

   For example, in the rear left, there are colleagues from the Health Bureau.

   The county seat is such a big place, you can’t see it when you look up.

   Especially the section chiefs in the industry and commerce, patiently and obediently lining up, not impatient at all, which is really rare.

Cheng Ligang had heard people talk about it. Last month, the section chief went to a restaurant for dinner. Because the table was full, he was queuing up. The restaurant is still closed for some reason.

  If there is no accident, the restaurant will ask him to play to death.

  This time, on a hot day, there is a line in the crowd.

  Cheng Ligang looked up and saw that the advertisements of foreigners on both sides of the store's entrance were very eye-catching. When he turned around again, the man named Lu Dong accompanied the two leaders into the car.

   It is estimated that it is easy to dare not to make trouble here.

   Not to mention that the leaders attended the ribbon-cutting, and no one dared to come to the shop of foreigners alone.

  Cheng Ligang sat on the cold bench for more than half a year, and his temperament was too peaceful. He led a woman in a normal line, and quickly entered the store.

   As soon as you enter the store, the cool breeze makes you feel comfortable.

   He is also well-informed. He looked up and knew that the central air conditioner was installed.

  This shop is really upscale. Qingzhao’s hotel has central air-conditioning. It seems that only the Hailong Building where Lao Yang was sealed up.

   Even the county guest house uses vertical air conditioners.

  It is also a pleasure to have a meal here on a hot day.

   In front of the bar, there were three queues to order food. The queues were very long. After waiting for a while, Cheng Li just stood in front.

  Behind the cash register, a tall and beautiful girl asked with a smile, "What would you like?"

   This attitude is good, nothing to say.

  Cheng Ligang looked up and saw the red background and white characters and pictures behind it, all kinds of food and prices were clear at a glance.

There are more than 20 kinds of   burgers, chicken wings, drumsticks, french fries, chicken popcorn and ice cream, etc.

  Song Na glanced at Cheng Lili and suggested: "You can choose this two-person set menu. Two sets are only 30 yuan, and there is a hamburger king doll as a gift."

   She pointed to the stuffed toy next to the cash register.

   Cheng Lili fell in love at a glance and said, "Dad!"

  Cheng Ligang had already read the package introduction and said, "Okay! Two packages!"

  After ordering the meal, I didn’t wait a long time before I got the set meal. The father and daughter each carried a plate to find a seat.

   There were too many people, and it was hard to find an empty table. In the end, we could only sit at the long dining table on the first floor.

  Beside the dining table, there is a children's playground enclosed by itself, and many children slide and swing in it.

  Cheng Lili sat at the long table and ate with relish. Whether it was hamburgers and fries, or chicken wings and coke, this girl had a sense of satisfaction.

   On the contrary, Cheng Lifeng, who is an adult, can't eat after just a few bites.

   It’s not bad, he admits, but to say it’s delicious, it’s nonsense, far less delicious than the previous fat sheep hot pot.

   Eating hot pot is the enjoyment. These foreign devils’ stuff will fool children.

   Cheng Lifeng turned his head to look around and found that many people from four to five to sixteen or seventeen years old enjoyed their meals, just like their daughters.

  This shop is going to fire!

  It is well decorated, high-grade, air-conditioned, and popular with children. There are no competitors in the county.

   As for those bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods who will affect the business, the foreigners and the two leaders who appeared during the ribbon-cutting are enough to scare them away.

   Suddenly, Cheng Ligang saw a familiar person and said hello, "Director Lu, you are here too!"

  Lu Jiandao came over with a five- or six-year-old boy and said, "Old Cheng, long time no see."

  The two of them both came from Lujia Village, so it could be said that they are old acquaintances.

   "Dad!" The little boy looked at the playground eagerly: "I'm going to play."

  Lu Jiandao released his hand: "Go, go play first, and then we'll eat something later."

  Cheng Ligang said, "Director Lu, did your nephew open this store?"

   "My nephew?" Lu Jiandao was puzzled.

  Cheng Ligang reminded: "Lu Dong! Just now at the opening ceremony, I saw him cutting the ribbon with a foreigner and two big leaders..."

   Hearing Cheng Ligang's description, Lv Jiandao was somewhat surprised. He entered the Cultural Palace to work, left Lvjia Village after his marriage, and basically never went back.

  Lu Jiandao was so engrossed in thinking that he didn't listen to many of Cheng Ligang's words.

  More people entered the store one after another, and the queue at the bar at the entrance did not decrease. When Cheng Ligang and Cheng Lili left, the whole store was almost full.

  Because there are too many people, more people choose to take away after ordering.
