Chapter 208 Individual Industrial and Commercial Households

Wang Qiang said a little irritably, "Cai Xiaoli, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Cai Xiaoli smiled lightly: "I came to talk to you specifically for the simple purpose of thanking you. Your letting go has fulfilled both yourself and Li Lang."

"Whether Li Lang is not good enough for you, or you are not good enough for Li Lang, it doesn't matter. The most important thing is that you two are not the same way. If you are forced to be together, you will not be happy."

"Fortunately, you are a smart person, you have seen this problem clearly, and you broke up with Li Lang."

"When I heard the news of your breakup, I was happy for Li Lang and you."

"Wang Qiang, I bless you and believe in you. I will definitely find a lover who suits you in the future."

Hearing Cai Xiaoli's words of thanks and blessings, Wang Qiang was even more disturbed.

She felt that Cai Xiaoli's words were like invisible needles, piercing her heart one after another.

"Cai Xiaoli, what capacity do you use to say such things to me?" Wang Qiang's tone was a bit aggressive under the agitation of her mind.

And Cai Xiaoli is not someone to mess with.

"Didn't you see the relationship between me and Li Lang? On the day of Juyou's opening, with so many people watching, he was willing to let me give him a massage."

Wang Qiang was enraged: "Li Lang even hugged me and kissed me."

Cai Xiaoli: "All of you are in the past."

Wang Qiang: "Cai Xiaoli, what do you mean?"

Cai Xiaoli: "Since you and Li Lang are two people from different worlds and have already broken up, you shouldn't have any thoughts about him anymore. I said these words not only for myself, but also for your own good."

"Think about it, you don't trust Li Lang... Take a step back, even if you see Li Lang reunited, you will still be separated in the end. You are the one who gets hurt."

Wang Qiang smiled suddenly: "Cai Xiaoli, I understand. You came to talk to me not to thank me, let alone for my own good, but because you are not confident. Because Li Lang doesn't like you."

Cai Xiaoli also smiled: "Believe it or not, ten months later, I will appear in front of you holding the child born with Li Lang."

"Hehe. Cai Xiaoli, no matter what kind of relationship I have with Li Lang, you have no chance, so give up."

"You don't believe it? That proves that you don't know Li Lang well enough."

"He is a man who is very loyal to his buddies. He and Huzi are good buddies, and Huzi likes you. You are useless."

Cai Xiaoli: "Really? Let me tell you a secret. On the night when Li Lang's restaurant opened, he specially kept me here, whispered to me, and then I kissed him. At that time, he seemed very happy."

"Boring." Wang Qiang said these two words expressionlessly, got on the bicycle and left.

Cai Xiaoli looked at her back, the smile on his face disappeared, and he muttered to himself: "Huzi, it's time..."

Cai Xiaoli returned to the food factory, found Huzi who had already returned, and dragged him to a corner of the workshop.

"Huzi, I'm telling you very seriously now, I don't like you now, and I won't like you in the future. There may be nothing between me and you. You will die. If you dare to like me again , I will break up with you."

After saying this, Cai Xiaoli left angrily.

The bewildered Huzi scratched his head dumbfounded, completely confused.

Xiaoli, why is this crazy?

Where did he offend her again?
Huzi thought that since 75, he has always liked Cai Xiaoli, and now it has been 79 years...

He was a little disheartened, wondering if he should let go?

……

After get off work, Cai Xiaoli, who has a personality that dares to love and hate, goes straight to Juyou Restaurant.The article "Private business, neither fish nor fowl" published in "Yanjing Daily" directly named the Gathering Friends restaurant and its owner Li Lang, which had a great impact.

But this kind of influence is not what Cheng Jianjun imagined.

At noon, two official media outlets came to gather friends for interviews.

Anyone who saw the interview knew that the attitudes of the two media towards Juyou and Li Lang were clear support.

But in any case, the waters of self-employment are getting muddy.Many people who want to do business on their own suspend their eagerness to move and continue to wait and see.

The current Gathering Friends Restaurant is the beacon for these people.

As long as it can continue to operate, it proves that the policy of individual trading is vigorously promoted by the state and is a future trend.

If the gathering of friends fails, then go back to each house and go to work.

In this situation, gathering friends in restaurants has become the focus of attention.

Today, from ten o'clock in the morning, there has been an endless stream of people coming to gather friends for dinner.

The people queuing outside the courtyard continued until two o'clock in the afternoon.

A real one is hard to find.

In the afternoon, when Cai Xiaoli came home from get off work, he made an important decision in his heart.

"Xiao Li, here we come. Are you looking for Li Lang? He is busy, so he doesn't have time to talk to you." Li Chunyan teased Cai Xiaoli.

"Sister Chunyan, I see that there are a lot of guests today, so I'm here to help."

"Then I won't be polite to you, please accept it at table three."

"okay."

Cai Xiaoli came to the kitchen with the dishes.

Seeing her, Li Lang smiled and said, "Xiao Li, are you going to be a voluntary laborer again? I'll give you the Chaoyang Enthusiastic and Good Citizen Award another day."

Cai Xiaoli scolded with a smile: "Get out of here."

……

At seven o'clock in the evening, Li Lang walked out of the kitchen and shouted, "Lucky."

"Here we come. Brother Li Lang, what's the matter?"

"The ingredients are almost gone, move the closed sign outside the courtyard."

"Got it."

How good is the business of Juyou Restaurant today?
It turned out that the ingredients that were enough for two or three days were used up in one day, which was not enough.

After all the customers left, Li Chunyan, who was settling accounts at the counter, yelled "ah", which caught everyone's attention.

"Chunyan, what's wrong?"

"Guess what's the turnover today?"

Seeing Li Chunyan's excitement, everyone knew that he had to guess a lot.

"Eight hundred?"

"Nine hundred?"

"There are so many guests, I guess a thousand."

Li Chunyan kept shaking her head with a smile.

"How bold people are, how productive the land is, guess what."

"One thousand and two."

"No way, more? One thousand and four is enough."

"You guys are so timid. I solemnly announce that today's turnover is 530, [-] cents."

"it is good."

Everyone shouted hello.

The negative influence caused by the article "Individuals do business, neither fish nor fowl" has dissipated without a trace.

吃完饭后，李浪亲自拿起毛笔，在宣纸上写下：本店营业时间，上午11：00-下午14：30，下午16：30-晚上20：00。

After writing the notice, he asked Meng Xing to paste it on the wall at the entrance of the courtyard.

He was tired enough today, but he didn't want to be like this tomorrow.There is never enough money to be earned, and you have to rest when you should rest.

The work is over, the meal is full, and the family has left one after another.

Li Chunyan looked at Li Lang and Xiaoli, then immediately pulled Xing and Xiaozao and said, "Let's go quickly."

"No, Second Sister, I have to wait for Brother Li Lang."

"Xing, come with me, I have something to tell you." Li Chunyan couldn't help but pull Xing away.

Only Li Lang and Cai Xiaoli were left in the shop.

"Xiao Li, do you want to tell me something?"

"Yes. I'm going to resign tomorrow."

"In such a hurry?"

"You asked me to find a clothing manufacturer. They are at work when I am at work, and they are also off work when I am off work. If this continues, I don't know when I will be able to complete the task you entrusted to me. Just resign."

This is just one of the reasons why Cai Xiaoli is eager to resign, and there is another important reason: she wants to spend more time with Li Lang.

Li Lang nodded and said, "Alright. That's it. If you need any help from me, just say it."

"I will come to you often in the future, you won't bother me, will you?"

Li Lang laughed "haha": "I have a free labor, what bother me."

……

The next day's "Ru Ming Daily" published an article interviewing Li Lang.

The title is "From Collecting Trash to Opening a Restaurant".

The general idea of ​​the article is: Li Lang, an unemployed young man, in order not to cause trouble to the country when the country is facing employment difficulties, used his skills to open a restaurant. The business is booming, not only solving his own employment problems, but also helping his family Solved employment...

Although the entire article does not comment on the self-employment policy, the appreciation for Li Lang between the lines has already shown his attitude: individual laborers are glorious socialist laborers.

Li Lang became famous all at once.

In the morning, after Li Lang went to work, Aunt Liu from the courtyard came to visit.

"Mother Li Lang, good news. Li Lang has been featured in the newspaper. Li Lang has been smart since he was a child. I said a long time ago that he will have a great future when he grows up. No, you see, he opened a restaurant and also It's in the newspaper."

Usually behind the scenes, it was Aunt Liu who most liked to say that Li Lang was worthless.

But Mother Li didn't point it out, she just smiled.

"Mother Li Lang, let me tell you, I have a niece who is 19 years old this year. She is very handsome and not much worse than Wang Qiang. I will introduce her to Li Lang tomorrow?"

"Hey, Aunt Liu, you know Li Lang's character. I, as a mother, can't handle this kind of thing. Just ask him."

With a single word from Mother Li, she dumped the blame on her son.Anyway, she knew that her son was better at dealing with this kind of thing than she was.

"Okay, tonight, after Li Lang comes back, I'll talk to him."

This morning, there were people buzzing in Li's mother's ear all the time, they were all about introducing someone to Li Lang.

Only then did she discover that the neighbors around her turned out to be hiding one or two young, beautiful and sensible relatives.

……

Cheng Jianjun, who was reading the newspaper in the school grove, couldn't figure it out. He kept messing with Li Lang again and again.

But the final result... Why is Li Lang not only fine, but also getting more and more famous and earning more and more money?
He couldn't figure out what was going on in this world.Why are you full of malice to yourself?Why? ? ?

He bumped his head against the big tree in front of him, once, and again... The influence of "Ru Ming Daily" is much greater than that of "Yanjing Daily".

It turned out that the negative impact of "Yanjing Daily" on Li Lang was immediately reversed by the article of "Ru Ming Daily".

Everyone in Qianmenlouzi (Zhengyangmen) knows that Li Lang, who lives in a courtyard, has become the No. 1 self-employed person in the country from a junk collector.

Not to mention Qianmenlouzi, most people in Yanjing City know about Li Lang.

Even across the country, many people flocked to their respective industry and commerce bureaus to inquire about self-employment because of the article "From Collecting Trash to Opening a Restaurant" in "Ru Ming Daily".

Because of his influence, many people plunged into self-employment and changed their destiny.

According to the historical development trajectory of the previous life, this situation will not happen until at least two years later.

The arrival of Li Lang has stirred up the development situation of the new era.

……

Yanjing City in April is beautiful in spring.

Due to the policy of reform and opening up, there are more foreigners on the streets of Yanjing.

In Shuangdong Hutong, two foreigners with white skin, high nose bridge and blue eyes came to Shuangdong Hutong with an interpreter.

"They said that this is a very delicious restaurant for meeting friends?" A foreign man said in surprise.

"Yes, Mr. Brown."

"I really don't understand why delicious food is hidden in a remote alley."

Another foreign man: "Brother, you don't know much about Longguo. After you live here for a long time, it will happen that you can find authentic Longguo food in the fly restaurants hidden in the alleys."

"Hurry up, I can't wait to taste the delicacies of the Dragon Kingdom after being told by you."

The three of them came to the door of Juyou, and looked at the long queue waiting for dinner, and were dumbfounded for a moment.

"My God. So many people."

"What should we do now? Shall we go to queue too?"

"Mr. Brown, please wait a moment. I will go to the restaurant people and ask them to arrange for us."

"Then trouble you, Ms. Huang."

As soon as the blue-eyed and yellow-haired foreigner appeared, he attracted the attention of many people, and everyone started discussing in low voices.

The female translator walked up to Li Chunyan, who was handing out the queue number at the door, and said, "Hi, I'm bringing two staff members from the embassy of country m to dinner, please arrange a seat."

Li Chunyan looked up at the two foreigners and said immediately, "Please wait a moment."

She trotted into the courtyard and then into the room, and saw that all the customers were eating, and there was no room for a table, and it was impossible to drive other guests out for the sake of foreigners.

Li Chunyan was in a dilemma, so she went to the kitchen immediately and told Li Lang about the situation.

In the end, Li Lang said indifferently: "Tell her, no matter if you are from Longguo or a foreigner, if you want to eat here, you have to queue up, make an appointment, or leave. In my place, just abide by my rules and treat them no differently. "

"Is it really good to say that? That's someone from the embassy of country m."

"It's the same even if the president and president of country m is here, just repeat what I said. That's it."

Li Chunyan came to the gate of the courtyard, and said to the female interpreter anxiously: "Our boss said, we should either take a number and line up, or make an appointment, or should I make an appointment for you?"

The female translator glared at Li Chunyan angrily, and said, "Doesn't he know that people from the embassy of country m are here for dinner? How dare you let foreign guests line up?"

Li Chunyan: "I know. Our boss also said that in our place, we have to abide by our rules and not treat them differently."

"it is good."
