1983 Small Island, Starting From a Large Farmer

 Chen Yuan Yuan’s No. 1 Japanese restaurant was first laid with tatami mats. Later, he considered that many people have "Hong Kong Island feet".

  Once the shoes were taken off, the whole house would smell like that, and everyone would not be able to eat, so the tatami was removed and replaced with wooden boards.

 After decades of being short of meat and oil, the Chinese people seem to prefer fried foods to those elegant foods.

 After struggling for a while, Chen Yuanyu finally gave up the idea of ​​making orthodox Japanese food, and went all-in on "Sino-Chinese" the restaurant. The greeter at the door who originally spoke Japanese now also changed to Chinese.

 When Li Duoyu and the others arrived at the Japanese restaurant in No. 1 Courtyard, the two female greeters at the door were smiling: "Good evening, please come inside."

One of the greeters recognized Zhao Jialu and Li Duoyu and wanted to say hello. Zhao Jialu quickly waved his hand and shook his head, indicating that they did not need to say hello to him.

The female receptionist understood the situation and immediately reported the matter to the foreman after they entered the door.

Zhang Jianhua was a little depressed when he saw Li Duoyu walking in so swaggeringly.

This store is quite high-end and has dress code requirements. It is no worse than those hotels that cater exclusively to foreign guests.

He once saw some slovenly people being politely turned away by the guests.

Li Duoyu was dressed like this and exuded a fishy smell, but the guests didn't stop them.

 Could it be that he didn't stop Li Duoyu because he came often and for his sake?

 Zhang Jianhua frowned.

 Forget it, when the food is served, these two people will realize the difference between them.

 Zhang Jianhua has thought about it all.

 When the time comes, order more sashimi and sashimi to see if he, a fisherman, dares to eat it. You can also order more of the "Wasabi" which is very choking.

 The first time he ate this stuff, he choked with tears and nose.

When the time comes, give Li Duoyu some more of this Wasabi. Zhang Jianhua also wants to see the funny look of Li Duoyu being choked.

To Zhang Jianhua’s surprise, after entering the store, the female foreman, who was wearing makeup and dressed very elegantly, walked towards them.

“There happens to be an empty private room, do you want to use it?”

Zhang Jianhua was stunned. He must have come here at least four times, but each time he ate in the lobby and never went to the private room.

 “Okay, thank you.”

Under the leadership of the foreman, Zhang Jianhua led a group of them into the private room. After seeing the island-style private room, his vanity suddenly skyrocketed.

“The service here is really good. As expected, if you come here a few times, the foreman will remember you and arrange a private room for you.”

Zhao Jialu narrowed his eyes. He has seen many people like Zhang Jianhua, especially when he is with a woman, he is particularly good at showing off.

 Let you pretend first, you will cry later.

When ordering, the waiter did not give the menu to Zhang Jianhua, but gave it to Zhao Jialu first, which made Zhang Jianhua a little depressed.

What puzzled him was that this Zhao Jialu was actually very smart. After getting the menu, he went directly to the most expensive one.

 First came the "big color TV".

Immediately afterwards, the foreman said: "By the way, there are a few guests who are unable to come because they have something to do. They have ordered several soft-boiled abalones. If you want, I can give you a discount."

Zhao Jialu heard that there was runny abalone and immediately said: "Okay, the abalone is delicious."

 After seeing Zhao Jialu ordering the abalone, Zhang Jianhua couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

He knew about the abalone. He didn't eat it when he came with the boss last month. He heard that to eat this dish, you need to make a reservation a week in advance, and the chef needs to prepare a lot of ingredients.

It is said that one old chicken, three pounds each of pork chops, pig's trotters, and pig's feet are required, as well as scallops and the like, and these ingredients are just for making soup.

What frustrated him the most was that this dish was priced per person, that is, one portion per person. He didn’t know how much it would cost to order this dish.

 The last few times I went to this restaurant to eat, I only had to pay thirty or forty to survive. But this time, Zhao Jialu only ordered two dishes, and they felt that they were already more expensive than the large table they ordered before.

 “Give us one of those red spots too.”

Seeing Zhao Jialu, I ordered the most expensive one.

Zhang Jianhua couldn’t bear it anymore and pretended to be calm and said:

“Xiao Zhao, you are probably not familiar with this store. It’s better for me to order some. When you go to a store like this, don’t always think about the big fish and meat. Their rice **** are particularly delicious.”

The foreman smiled and said:

“Actually, the red spot in our store is quite good. One fish can be eaten three times and can serve as three dishes. All the fish are live fish caught from the sea. It is very cost-effective.”

Zhang Jianhua gritted his teeth: "Okay, let's just have a small red spot, and for the rest, just give us some sushi sets and a sashimi platter.

“Give us a rice ball set and a sashimi platter, give us one.”

Li Duoyu feels that Zhao Jialu is really ruthless and orders whatever is the most expensive in the store.

With just those few dishes, Zhang Jianhua’s eyes will probably pop out when the bill comes.

“Brother Yu, there is something I almost forgot to tell you.”

“Director Wu said that the big ship from the island country will arrive in Rongcheng in fourteen days. It will first load kelp at Qingkou Wharf, and then go to your side to transport eels.”

Li Duoyu simply calculated the time, and just as he expected, Nagasaki would transport eels half a month before Easter Day.

Zhao Jialu asked: “The leader specifically asked me to ask if there is any problem with the eels and whether they can be delivered smoothly.”

Li Duoyu frowned.

 “Well, I can’t give you an accurate answer now. It will take a few days before I know the specific situation.”

Zhao Jialu thought for a moment: "You're not kidding, is there really something wrong with the eel?"

Li Duoyu nodded: "Some time ago, it rained all the time, and the temperature difference was huge, something went wrong."

"is it serious?"

Li Duoyu thought for a while and replied: "It's okay. If it's not dealt with, it will be very serious, but if it's dealt with well, there will be no problem."

After hearing this, Zhao Jialu smiled and said: "Brother Yu, looking at you like this, you must have found a solution."

Li Duoyu smiled and did not answer, but with An Yuliang's help, he was relatively confident.

Zhang Jianhua on the side is really unhappy. These two are really enough. One said that he has a household worth ten thousand yuan, the other said that he knows the head of the cultural troupe, and now he talks about cooperating with the islanders.

 Stop bragging too much and you'll die.

 Their unit also really wants to export, but has never found a way. And these days, if the company wants to develop, it must purchase advanced production equipment.

 To buy these big guys, you must apply for foreign exchange from the "organization". To apply for this thing, the organization will see whether you have any foreign exchange income.

 In short,

 Their unit is stuck in an infinite loop.

 The leader holds meetings every day and only repeats two words.

 “Earn foreign exchange.”

 As a result, everyone racked their brains and did not know how to earn foreign exchange.

 Almost twenty minutes later.

The dishes they ordered came to the table one after another. The first one to come was the "big color TV" with one shrimp and three pieces.

 Slice the shrimp into slices and eat them raw.

 Put the shrimp brains into stewed eggs.

 The shrimp shells are used to make porridge.

 After seeing this dish, Zhang Jianhua couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He and his leader had eaten this dish once before, and it was very delicious.

The only bad thing is that even larger lobsters only weigh two to three kilograms in shell, and the lobster meat, which is less than half a kilogram, can be eaten in just a few bites.

Seeing such good things, Zhang Jianhua felt a little regretful and felt that there was a hole in his head. He just brought Chen Ziyi over to eat.

You also brought these two bumpkins with you. Isn't this just making yourself miserable?

As soon as the lobster was on the table, he stood up, took away at least half of the shrimp meat, and placed it in front of Chen Ziyi’s seat, with an attentive look on his face:

“Zi Yi, this shrimp meat is very delicious, please eat more.”

“The taste of this shrimp porridge is also very good. If we make it ourselves, we will never be able to taste it.”

Seeing Zhang Jianhua put all the shrimp meat in front of her, Chen Ziyi was quite embarrassed and quickly pushed the bowl with shrimp meat away.

 “You’re too polite, I can’t eat that much, I can just do it myself.”

After Chen Ziyi finished speaking, she picked up a piece of lobster meat with chopsticks and put it in her bowl.

Zhang Jianhua was very depressed. He found that Chen Ziyi was very strange today. The more attentive he was, the further away she would hide.

As the dishes were served one after another on the table, Zhang Jianhua was completely confused. Not only did Li Duoyu eat the green "Wasabi", but he also ate a lot of it.

 Does this person have no sense of taste? And I don’t resist those sashimi at all.

 And that Zhao Jialu kept commenting while eating.

 “It seems to taste much better than last time.”

 “This chef is making progress.”

Zhang Jianhua rolled his eyes when he heard this, as if you guys come here to eat often.

After the "soft-boiled abalone" came, Zhang Jianhua picked up the abalone with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and started to bite.

 “Wow, this abalone tastes so good.”

Chen Ziyi also swallowed her saliva. When she was in the group, her favorite thing to watch was those Hong Kong dramas, and she often saw abalone on TV.

 This thing is considered a luxury item even on Hong Kong Island, but you can see Zhang Jianhua with sauce still left in the corner of his mouth.

Intuition told Chen Ziyi that instead of eating like Zhang Jianhua, she should use the knife and fork put aside.

What puzzled Chen Ziyi was that next, Li Duoyu held down the abalone with a fork in his left hand and cut it with a knife in his right hand.

After cutting into fine pieces, he put it in his mouth and tasted it. His movements were so graceful that everyone present could not believe it.

Zhang Jianhua frowned and wanted to refute something, but reality told him that Li Duoyu was right to eat this way.

 I don’t know why, but he thinks this Li Duoyu is really weird. So far, he has eaten all the food served casually and relaxedly.

Zhang Jianhua remembers clearly the first time he came to eat in this restaurant and made a lot of jokes.

　　Not only do you take apart the sushi and eat it,

 He also took the raw fish fillets and cooked them in the hot pot.

Chen Ziyi looked at Li Duoyu in surprise. She didn't know why, but at that moment, her heartbeat accelerated.

 After knowing him for so many years, this is the first time that I feel this way about him.

 But before their surprise was over, the foreman suddenly led someone into the private room.

After Zhang Jianhua saw her, he was so surprised that he couldn't speak. He stood up involuntarily. Was he just unlucky today?

 Not only upgraded the private rooms.

Even the female boss came in person, but for some reason, his intuition told him that the female boss was not here to see him.

 Sure enough, the next moment.

The female boss did not talk to him, but smiled and said: "Director Li, when you come to our store, why don't you say hello in advance? Just now our foreman told me that you shocked me when you were in the store. "

 Director Li?

There was a person named Li sitting there. Zhang Jianhua looked at Li Duoyu in shock.

Li Duoyu replied: "Boss Chen, why are you here? It happened that my friend wanted to eat, so we came together."

"How does it taste? In the past two months, I spent some money to have the chef go to Chaoshan for training."

Li Duoyu smiled and said: "No wonder there is such an extra dish of soft-boiled abalone."

 “This abalone is pretty good.”

 Li Duoyu nodded: "Yes, it's very delicious."

 Chen Yuanyu said proudly: "Director Li, I have an idea, should we cooperate in raising abalone together?"

 “You’re taking such a big step.”

Chen Ziyi was stunned. She studied dance and thought she had good body and figure. But when she saw this woman, she didn't dare to look directly at her.

 She is not only beautiful, but also has a kind of confidence from the inside out.

Zhao Jialu on the side hummed:

"I said, Element, I am your brother after all. I am right next to you. Can you look at me? It is really too much for you to treat me like nothing."

 “Tch, what do you like to see?”

 “I have a big face.”

"What's the use of being brave? Don't keep accounts for this meal. Remember to pay. I will definitely not give you a free meal anyway."

Zhao Jialu hooked Zhang Jianhua's shoulder: "Don't worry, we have someone to treat you this time."

Zhang Jianhua's brain has been shut down. Of course he knows this woman, the female owner of the No. 1 Japanese Food Shop.

  The apple of the eye of the boss of Xinyuan Aquatic Products Company, and this Chen Yuanyu is the third most favored generation in the entire Chen family.

Those who want to chase her in Rongcheng can definitely go around Yantai Mountain.

 Seeing how familiar these two people were with Chen Yuan Yuan, even a pig could sense that something was wrong.

Zhang Jianhua looked at Zhao Jialu in confusion and asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhao, are you Boss Chen's brother?"

After Chen Yuan Yuan made such a fuss, Zhao Jialu could no longer continue to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger. He pursed his lips and said with a smile:

“That’s right, I’m the boss lady’s brother. I guess I haven’t introduced myself yet, Zhao Jialu, a young man who works in the Fisheries Bureau.”

After hearing the words Fisheries Bureau, Zhang Jianhua thought hard and was stunned again. No wonder his name sounded familiar.

 Zhao Jialu from the Fisheries Bureau, now Zhang Jianhua knows who he is.

 Zhang Jianhua looked at Li Duoyu:

“There are so many fish, what are you doing now?”

Li Duoyu smiled and said:

“I am still a fisherman. I am the director of our village. I usually fish and do some farming.”

“So, you didn’t lie to me, are you really a household worth ten thousand yuan?”

 Li Duoyu nodded.

Zhao Jialu on the side shook his head and said: "He didn't lie to you, but he didn't tell you that he was not an ordinary household worth ten thousand yuan, but a household worth one hundred thousand yuan."

Li Duoyu frowned and said: "Nonsense, I don't have one hundred thousand, and I still owe a huge debt to the credit union."

“You cost more than 100,000 Yuan per ship, which is not even a household worth 100,000 Yuan.”

Zhang Jianhua and Chen Ziyi were both shocked. For them, a household worth 10,000 yuan was already rare.

For a household worth 100,000 yuan, they also knew one person before, and that was their gangster leader "Brother Shui" from Shangfeng Town.

Zhang Jianhua’s head was buzzing. It turned out that Li Duoyu had not lied to anyone from the beginning. Not only did he have a household worth ten thousand yuan, but he also had two big boats.

 After dinner, Zhang Jianhua saw the checkout sheet and his hands started to tremble. This meal cost him 150 yuan, which was his three months' wages.

But this time he came out with only 80 yuan. Zhang Jianhua whispered: "This time I came out, I didn't bring enough money. I'll pay 80 yuan first. I'll go home to get it, and I'll come over to pay later."

Zhao Jialu said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, remember to come over and pay. Don't skip the order, otherwise I will go to your work unit."

“Brother Zhao, please stop calling me Brother Zhang. Just call me Xiao Zhang.”

After leaving the Japanese food store, Zhang Jianhua was completely stunned. Although it was summer, his heart felt cold.

He really wanted to slap himself twice. Instead of stepping on Li Duoyu today, he was completely embarrassed and made a fool of himself in front of Chen Ziyi.

  But he really couldn't understand why Li Duoyu, whose total outfit cost less than ten yuan, knew such a young man and was so familiar with the owner of this Japanese restaurant.

 I can’t understand.

Zhao Jialu said: "Brother Yu, let's go and eat."

 “But I still want to eat laohua.”

 “You can still eat it.”

Li Duoyu nodded and said, "I left some belly for eating laohua."

 “Then I’ll go with you. I know there is a place where the laohua is particularly delicious.”

Zhao Jialu asked: "Zi Yi, do you want to go together?"

Chen Ziyi shook her head. Although she also wanted to go with them, she hesitated and gave up.

“I won’t go. The dormitory in the regiment will be closed after ten o’clock.”

  She is a person who knows how to advance and retreat. Just click on it until it ends. If you post it again, people will probably really hate her.

She has always known that Li Duoyu liked her for three years in junior high school.

But just before, when Li Duoyu said with a smile that he loved Zhou Xiaoying very much, she had already understood that she no longer had any status in his heart, and she probably only had this skin left.

 In their art troupe, the most indispensable thing is skin. They are much prettier than her. There are many people who can not only dance, but also play the piano and accordion, but she is only a marginal figure in the troupe.

“Okay, I’ll find your group leader another day and give you a good word.” (End of Chapter)
