Chapter 210 Good News

"Li Lang, good news. I have found a garment factory that is willing to manufacture for us."

"Okay. Tell me about the specific situation."

"When I started, I found some state-owned garment factories. They knew that I wanted to find them as an OEM, and they didn't even have room for negotiation. One of them kicked me out directly."

"Later, I specifically went to look for clothing factories under the township collective system, and found a small factory that was on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor profitability. The factory manager said that he could do OEM for us, but he must have a letter of introduction from the unit."

Li Lang shook his head with a smile and said: "Those stupid people, the factory is going to close down, and they don't know how to be flexible. It's okay, you invite people to me, and I will talk to them."

"it is good."

Cai Xiaoli looked at Li Lang with a sweet smile, and continued, "Li Lang, how do you think my task has been accomplished?"

Yo, this is to invite credit.

"It's okay, at least you can use your brain. It's just that it takes too long."

The smile on Cai Xiaoli's face disappeared instantly, and he said angrily, "I'm leaving."

Li Lang didn't say anything to persuade her to stay, but just smiled and watched her leave.

……

Labor Day is here.

At around [-]:[-] in the morning, a group of more than a dozen people arrived at the gate of Juyou Restaurant.

Leaders, here we come.Having received the news, Li Lang, who was waiting at the gate of the courtyard, said with a smile on his face: "Warmly welcome all the leaders to come to Juyou Restaurant to guide the work."

Walking in the front, a middle-aged man who looked about 50 years old and possessed the majesty of a superior person smiled kindly and said, "I've seen your photo, are you Li Lang?"

"I am. It's a great honor for you to remember me, leader."

"Well, young man, he looks very energetic. Not bad."

"Thank you for the compliment from the leader. Please invite you and the leaders."

"Let's go in and take a good look at what the first self-employed restaurant in China looks like. Let's go."

Li Lang turned sideways and led a group of leaders towards the gate of the courtyard.

"Good morning, leaders."

Li Chunyan and Xiaozao, who were standing on both sides of the door, greeted the leader with excitement.

The day before yesterday, Director Zheng said that this leader doesn't like the ostentation deliberately put on.

That's why Li Lang didn't ask everyone in the restaurant to stand at the door to welcome them, and only arranged for the two most handsome guests to be the welcome girls.

The leader smiled and said, "How are you guys?"

Li Lang specially introduced: "This is my second sister, and this is my cousin. I never thought that the business of the restaurant would be so good. It was too busy, so I had to call all the family members except my mother to the restaurant to help."

"Okay." The leader nodded and followed Li Lang to continue walking inside.

After entering the room and sitting down, Li Lang made tea himself.

After taking a sip of tea, the leader said:
"Xiao Li, I heard that in your restaurant, when it's time to eat every day, there are people waiting in line at the door. Why this happens, I want to hear your opinion."

As soon as the leader came in, Li Lang was tested.

Li Lang said calmly: "Then I'll fight in front of the leaders and talk about my humble opinion."

"More than half of the people who come to eat here come to eat 'politics'."

"Foreign guests, come to observe the state of self-employment in our country. Domestic guests, come to confirm whether individuals can really do business."

"About half of the people came here because they recognized my cooking skills."

The leader nodded and said, "That makes sense. Xiao Li, your Juyou restaurant is the first self-employed restaurant in China, and it is a model of self-employment. You must behave like a model. If you have If you have any difficulties, you can tell us."

Li Lang immediately said: "It's not difficult to return to the leadership. Thanks to the country's reform and opening up policy, my life is much better than before. I have no difficulties, and what I have is a heart that is grateful to the country."

What Li Lang said was beautiful.

All the leaders laughed.

Especially the people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, thinking happily, it was really a wise choice to choose Li Lang as the first pilot.

This young man, on the road.

The future is boundless.

"Xiao Li, some people don't approve of your approach, which may bring pressure to you. But what I want to say is, you don't have to worry, your business is legal and compliant, just do it with confidence."

"With your words from the leader, I can do things with peace of mind. Thank you, thank you country."

Leader: "Xiao Li, an old friend of mine, came to your place for dinner a few days ago."

"After he went back, he specifically told me how delicious the sweet and sour carp you cooked. It made me so greedy..."

"Today, I'm going to come here to eat your sweet and sour carp. Just make this dish and it will be fine."

Li Lang: "Okay. Leaders, please wait a while for tea, I will do it right away. Second sister, make tea for the leaders."

About 10 minutes later, Li Lang came over with the sweet and sour carp. Before he arrived, the aroma of the food wafted over.

The leader took a deep breath, with an intoxicated expression on his face.

As soon as the dishes were placed on the table, he picked up the chopsticks: "This taste is so tempting, I'm not welcome to try it first."

The leader put a piece of fish into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and kept nodding his head.

"This taste reminds me of the first time I ate sweet and sour carp during the war in Dongshan Province. This is the taste. Authentic. Good, very good."

"No wonder you are so confident in your cooking skills. This is just one dish, and there are not many people in Yanjing City who can cook it better than you."

"Don't just watch me eat, try Xiao Li's cooking."

The accompanying leaders all moved their chopsticks.While eating, they praised Li Lang's craftsmanship.

Soon, only the skeleton of a three-jin carp was left...

Said to taste it, but ate the whole fish.For those of you who have not finished, I am a little embarrassed.

It's all because the fish is so delicious.

"Xiao Li, I'm in a good mood today, and I want to give you a piece of calligraphy. Do you have the Four Treasures of the Study here?"

"Yes. To get your calligraphy, I... Hey, I'm so happy that I don't know what to say. Wait a moment, I'll bring the pen, ink, paper and inkstone right away."

Li Lang brought the Four Treasures of the Study and said, "Leader, shall I grind ink for you?"

"it is good."

When Li Lang was studying ink, the leader let out a "hey" and said, "Xiao Li, you are also an expert in the way you study ink."

"You're too proud. I don't dare to be an expert, but I learned a few years of calligraphy from my master when I was young, so I understand a little bit."

Everything was ready, and the leader began to write cursive script: individual first.

This cursive script has both form and spirit, magnificent momentum, and power through the back of the paper, absolutely everyone's demeanor.

Looking at these five characters, it seems that I can feel the aura of "dare to split everything in the world".

Leaders in the same industry praised him one after another.

Li Lang waited for the ink to dry, and put away the calligraphy carefully.

"Leader, the words you wrote are my treasure."

Leader: "Hahaha. You little Li... People all over the country are paying attention to your 'individual first', work hard."

It was the first time for the accompanying people to see the leader smiling so happily during the inspection.

Everyone was even more impressed with Li Lang.

This time, in front of many leaders, Li Lang gave him a good impression.

……

The next day, "Ru Ming Daily" reported the news that the leader had inspected the Juyou restaurant.

According to the report, the leader emphasized the legality and compliance of Juyou, and wrote a word to Juyou: Individuals are the first.

This undoubtedly gave the self-employed people in Yanjing City and even the whole country a reassurance.

In the minds of self-employed individuals, Li Lang, who blazed a trail for everyone, has become a heroic existence.

... At noon on May 5, at the Juxian Tea House in Yanjing City, several people drank tea and chatted together.

"Li Lang, who gathered friends, gave us a way to survive. The money my store has earned during this period is equivalent to... I won't go into details. You also opened a store, and you all know it. Anyway, life is better than before. a lot of."

"Brothers, don't forget the well digger when drinking water. I suggest that this afternoon, we go to Juyou, book the main house of Juyou, and give Li Lang a thank you banquet."

"You think it's not easy for Li Lang to be favored by such a great leader. If we set up a guild and let him be the leader, there will be someone to take care of whoever happens to us in the future, right?"

Another person immediately said: "I think it's okay. I saw that Director Zheng of the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce is as good as two brothers with him. This Li Lang is a character. I agree with Brother Wang."

"I agree."

"agree."

"agree."

……

"Okay, more people are more powerful. Let's contact individual merchants who are willing to go together. If there are not enough people, bring a few people with you. At 02:30 in the afternoon, gather and line up at the door of Juyou, and take down all the seats in the main house."

"it is good."

The scene of a large group of people queuing up to eat at the gate of Juyouyuan has become familiar to everyone.

However, today the situation is very strange.

At 02:30 in the afternoon, at this time in the past, the restaurant has just closed, and basically no one is in line.

At this time today, there were as many as six to 70 people queuing at the door.

"Brother Li Lang, something serious happened."

Meng Xing called Li Lang who was resting in the small room.

"Meng Xing, how many times have you been so surprised? What's the matter?"

"Brother Li Lang, there are dozens of people around the gate of the courtyard, all of them carrying horses. I don't know what they want to do. Go out and have a look."

This is really not normal.

Li Lang immediately came to the yard, opened the gate, and took a look...

Hey guys, there really are little 100 people out there.

"Hello, Brother Li."

"Brother Li Lang, hello."

"Brother Li, we didn't disturb you, did we?"

……

So many people he didn't know greeted him politely, politely, and with a smile on his face, which made Li Lang feel a little overwhelmed.

"Everyone, what are you waiting in line for dinner? But it's not yet three o'clock, so we have to wait for two hours."

"I can't help it, Boss Li, your store's business is so good, no matter how long the queue is, you still have to queue."

"Brother Li, don't worry, we are here to eat, not to make trouble. You can go to rest and leave us alone."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard..."

Li Lang closed the courtyard door and continued to rest.

At 04:30 in the afternoon, Juyoumen opens for business.

The dozens of people queuing at the door rushed in all at once, filling up all the seats in the main house.

They haven't even started ordering, but every table ordered white wine.

Everyone's wine glasses are filled.

Li Lang, who was about to go to the kitchen, saw that dozens of people stood up with a "swipe".

If he hadn't seen them holding a glass of wine in their hands, Li Lang might have been frightened.

Li Lang heard them say in unison: "Brother Li."

Dozens of people raised their glasses together and drained the wine in one gulp.

Li Lang: "???"

All the clerks of Juyou opened their mouths and eyes wide in surprise: "???"

After seeing Li Lang's astonished reaction, the activity promoter known as Brother Wang immediately said loudly:
"Brother Li, we are all self-employed. You have paved the way for us and given us hope in life. We are here to thank you specially."

Brother Wang waved his hand, and dozens of people behind him said in unison: "Brother Li, thank you."

Li Lang: "..."

This style is not right.

I'm not shooting a martial arts movie.

Li Lang: "Everyone, thank you for your great love for me. But I want to say, I didn't do anything, you wouldn't be like this. Thank you, you should thank the country and the party."

Brother Wang: "We should not only thank the country and the party, but also thank you."

"When we were all hesitating and afraid to take the first step of self-employment, it was you who stood up and became the No. 1 individual and the guiding light for everyone."

"Because of this, you were attacked and slandered by some people, but you never wavered and gave us confidence and strength, so we can persevere."

"So, we have to thank you."

The people who came with him also echoed.

"Correct."

"Brother Li, thank you."

"Brother Li, you are our role model."

……

Li Lang's elder brother, elder sister, and Meng family sisters felt their blood boil immediately when they saw this scene.

"Li Lang is too powerful."

"As Li Lang's family member, I feel that Bel has face."

"Brother Li Lang, you are so awesome."

……

Li Lang smiled: "Let me express my attitude first. What I do is not worth mentioning. But everyone regards me as a friend, and I am also very happy to have more friends like you."

He walked to the counter, poured a glass of wine, and raised it: "Thank you."

The wine drank in one gulp.

"it is good."

"happy."

……

Everyone shouted.

Li Lang pressed his hand, motioning for everyone to be quiet.

"Then I'll cook for everyone."

"Don't, don't." Brother Wang pulled Li Lang back, "You are the protagonist today, how can I ask you to cook?"

"Just ask the apprentices to do it. It doesn't matter what we eat, the main thing is to thank you and get to know you. Are you right?"

"Correct."

"Okay." Li Lang didn't hesitate, "Fortunately, the kitchen is handed over to you."

"Ah. That's great. Brother Li Lang, I, Meng Xing, promise to complete the task."

Of course Meng Xing was happy, she had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

Li Lang sat down next to Brother Wang.

He found that this brother Wang looked a little familiar?

Fuck.Why does it look a bit like... a younger version of Old Comrade Wang?
