On the way to the People's Canteen, Tian Yuzhu saw a small restaurant on the street that looked like it had just opened.
I didn’t expect that private restaurants have already opened in the provincial capital. This shows that the owners are bold and the local officials are brave enough to try out new policies.
"Let's go to his house for dinner. The Sichuan cuisine is also good." Tian Yuzhu suggested.
After she finished speaking, she noticed that Hu Weiguo smiled: "To be honest, this is opened by an old comrade of mine. He used to be the head chef in the kitchen squad in the army. This guy is very brave. He invested in opening a restaurant as soon as he heard some news.
I've tried it before, and it's pretty good, but I'm afraid you can't handle spicy food!"
"I can eat it. I like spicy food the best." Jin Ju said, then became a little worried: "But what about the price?"
"It's okay, I want to eat Sichuan cuisine too." Tian Yuzhu was most interested in seeing how the newly opened restaurant was doing.
This was the first time she had seen a private business open since she had traveled through time.
Hu Weiguo said, "Then let's go in."
I didn’t expect that the store doesn’t look big from the outside, but it is very spacious inside and the business is pretty good.
When they entered, there were already three tables of people there. The chubby boss was very friendly. When he saw his old comrade coming with two ladies, his eyes were full of gossip.
"Old Hu, why don't you introduce them quickly?"
Hu Weiguo coughed lightly to remind him to be serious, and introduced: "This is Comrade Tian Yuzhu, she is a military wife, and this is Jin Ju, a salesperson at the Shuochi Town Supply and Marketing Cooperative. They are good sisters."
Then he introduced him to Tian Yuzhu and the others: "This is my comrade, you can just call him Fatty."
"That's so rude!" Jinju joked quickly.
The fat man waved his hand and said, "It's okay. My comrades have been calling me that for so many years. I can't help it. I was born to be a cook."
As he spoke, he asked them to sit down, poured them tea, and asked the waiter to bring the menu.
The menu was handwritten by him. Although the handwriting was not very good, the pattern was quite correct.
She was also quite curious about Tian Yuzhu: "Xiaotian, which unit is your man from?"
As soon as he finished asking, Hu Weiguo glared at him: "You're asking about this too."
"Oh my mouth." The fat man immediately slapped his mouth: "Sorry, sorry, I forgot this is confidential."
Tian Yuzhu said with a smile: "Fat boss, you are going to get rich. Your business will definitely be prosperous."
The fat man smiled and said, "I'm just saying good things. By the way, next time your man comes to the provincial capital, bring him to my place for dinner. Although we are no longer in the army, we still miss the barracks very much. Now, no matter where I see soldiers, it's like seeing my own family."
"Okay, I'll definitely come when I have the chance."
Finally, we decided to order Mapo Tofu, Maoxuewang, Sichuan Pepper Chicken, and boiled fish fillet.
The fat man brought out a large bowl of cabbage and tofu soup, plus a plate of Kung Pao Chicken, saying that it was two dishes.
His cooking skills are indeed amazing. The dishes he makes are colorful, fragrant and delicious, and the taste is amazing. Even Bian Tian Yuzhu would give him a thumbs up.
Nowadays, there are very few people who dare to go out and do business on their own. The food in the restaurant is well cooked and the prices are affordable.
Tian Yuzhu predicted that the fat boss's business would become more and more popular.
While they were eating, three more tables of guests arrived, keeping the fat man very busy.
Jin Ju's eyes lit up with envy at his cheerful expression: "God, how much does he make in a day like this?"
Hu Weiguo smiled and said, "He must have made a lot of money. At the beginning, I was worried that he would lose everything. Now it seems that being at the forefront of reform is a good thing!"
Jin Ju sighed, "You're in a big city. Even in our small town, we had a security team cracking down on profiteers a while ago!"
"And this."
Hu Weiguo thought that the local officials’ ideological awareness was a bit too backward.
Tian Yuzhu looked at him and said, "Cities are different in size, geographical location, and people's thinking levels are also different, but in the end, everything will be fine."
"Hey, you're worthy of being a military wife, you have a very open mind." Hu Weiguo said with a smile: "It's a pity that you can't drink, otherwise I would have a couple of more drinks with you."
Jin Ju smiled and said, "Come on, I'll drink for her."
Tian Yuzhu really can't drink alcohol, otherwise she would also crave beer.
Since Fatty Lao Pang was so enthusiastic, Hu Weiguo was sure to have a couple of drinks, so Jin Ju accompanied him.
Jinju can drink a lot and she drinks heartily.
After a few bottles of beer, neither of them even blushed.
Tian Yuzhu quietly went to pay the bill. She paid for one of the dishes that the fat boss gave her as a gift, and the cabbage and tofu soup was free.
She paid for the Kung Pao Chicken. It wasn't easy for them to open a business, and each dish only cost a few dollars.
The waiter didn't know that the dishes were sent by the boss, so he paid the bill.
Later, Hu Weiguo insisted on paying the bill, but Tian Yuzhu stopped him: "We agreed that today I'll treat you, and you can treat me next time we have a chance to eat together. Let's go, let's go, you're disturbing the fat boss's business."
The fat man was too busy to take care of them, so they might as well take this opportunity to leave, so as to avoid being dragged around for a long time later.
Hu Weiguo had no choice but to listen to them and leave the Sichuan restaurant.
As I walked down the street and felt the breeze, I started to feel a bit drunk.
Hu Weiguo insisted on inviting them to the movies, but Tian Yuzhu declined: "Please forgive me..."
Just when she was about to say that she, as a pregnant woman, had to go back to the guesthouse to rest, she didn't finish her words when she saw that Jinju was still very energetic.
Instinctively, she changed the subject: "Sister, why don't you go to the movies with Manager Hu? I'll wait for you at the guesthouse."
Jin Ju was dazzled by the bustling street lights of the big city: "You really aren't going?"
"My back is so sore, I just want to lie down right now, you two go ahead!"
"Okay, I'll come back to you after I finish reading it."
Hu Weiguo said, "The guesthouse is just ahead. Let's go get a room first!"
He enthusiastically asked for their ID cards and insisted on paying for the room. After checking in, the group went their separate ways.
Tian Yuzhu returned to her room, washed up, and lay comfortably on the bed.
It was quiet all around, and at this moment I suddenly missed the man at home!
I don’t know if he has returned home from patrolling the border.
On the other hand, Jin Ju and Hu Weiguo went to see a fashionable foreign movie.
The movie tells the love story of a man and a woman. The man is powerful and influential, while the woman is just a Cinderella in a small, shabby house. Later, the two broke through all the shackles, but they were never able to be together.
The movie ends in tragedy. After the male protagonist dies, the female protagonist also chooses to commit suicide.
Jinju was so engrossed in the plot that she even forgot to eat melon seeds, and her eyes were filled with tears that she couldn't stop wiping them away.
But Hu Weiguo was so frightened that he quickly handed her a handkerchief: "Don't cry, don't cry, it's all fake."
Jin Ju sobbed, "Who told you it was fake? This happened in real life, but the person didn't die."
Hu Weiguo was confused: "..."
Who is it?
So miserable?
After the movie ended, he sent Jinju back to the guesthouse, and the two of them became silent all the way.
