Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside

When Han Li came back at this time, there was no one at home. Usually, Han's father and mother would go to Houhaizi first after get off work, and then return to Mianhua Hutong after dinner.

Even though Han Li would not live here often after marriage, his room was still very clean. He had all his clothes for all seasons here, and now there were many more children's clothes and diapers.

Han Li went back to the house, changed into big shorts and slippers, and washed himself in front of the faucet with his bare chest.

He took out the largest enamel cup in the house and made himself a cup of tea. He looked at the goldfish and flowers raised by his father, and then sat on the recliner in the yard and closed his eyes and swayed.

Not long after, the two crows that Han's father had raised, which had been in a free-range state, flew back.

They did not dare to make a fuss when they saw their owner. They slowly landed on the recliner and climbed down next to Han Li's arm.

Han Li knew when the two crows fell, but he also liked to take a nap and was too lazy to open his eyes to tease them.

Time passed by little by little, and Han Li was still taking a nap at home.

Because of his age, Mr. Liu had a short sleep. At this moment, he had already gotten up, washed his face, and then came to the study, taking out the materials and photos that Han Li had brought and looking through them.

After a while, Mr. Liu asked Gong Jianglong to come in and asked him to sort out all these things and send them to a certain unit, and then picked up the phone and made two calls in succession.

The first one was to call the relevant departments, asking them to properly preserve these materials and photos according to the corresponding confidentiality level.

The other one was to call "that person". No one knew what they talked about, but there was constant laughter on both ends of the phone, indicating that the two had a good chat.

When Mr. Liu was calling, Mr. Guan was also doing the same thing, but his call was to his son, because the education department was now in contact with Han Li, and it was legitimate to arrange some things.

Of course, there were more than just the two of them who wanted to call this afternoon.

However, the old men had almost discussed it before Han Li returned to China. It would be bad to intervene in such things together. They just had to play the role of main attack, auxiliary attack, and feint attack.

However, Liu Zhongcheng, Liu Zhongxin, Zhang Hailin, Zhang Ling, Hou Huidong, Hou Liru, Li Yunhua, Guan Haijiao, Song Guanghui, including Li Yunzhi who was far away in Shanghai, all received a call from their grandfather today.

When it was almost time to get off work, Han Li sat up lazily from the recliner, reached out to take the tea that had cooled on the table next to him and drank it all in one breath.

Han Li then stretched comfortably, touched the two crows next to him with his fingers, and took out some wild deer viscera from the decomposition space to give them a snack.

These two crows can be said to be the first ones that Han Li used the primary beast control technique to catch and train, and survived.

So except for their unpleasant voices and ugly appearance, they can beat those starlings and parrots by several streets in terms of intelligence, eloquence, speech, strength, and reaction.

Han Li teased them in the yard for a while, and the voices of those who came back from get off work and greeted the neighbors came from the alley.

Han Li waved his hand and let the two crows play by themselves. He stood up and washed his face by the faucet. He took the enamel cup to the house to refill the water. He put on a three-hole vest, held the large enamel cup, opened the street door and went to the alley.

Before dinner time, Han Li, Yu Daqiang and a few childhood friends came to a private restaurant on the shore of Shichahai, chatting and laughing all the way.

This restaurant occupies a room facing the street. The boss divided it into two rooms, the smaller one inside serves as the kitchen, and the larger space outside is reserved for guests to eat.

The placement of five tables has made it very crowded. After the guests sat down, the people at the adjacent tables were almost back to back.

However, the weather is getting hotter and hotter now, so the boss placed a few small tables and stools on the sidewalk outside.

Maybe everyone doesn't like to see the faces of the waiters in state-owned restaurants, and likes to enjoy the feeling of others bringing wine and food to them, so there are quite a few people who come here to eat.

When Han Li and his friends arrived, there was only one table left out of the five, and the six kids outside were sitting at four tables.

Han Li and his friends had seven people in total, and one small table was not enough for them to sit. The boss enthusiastically put the two remaining small tables together.

Han Li took a look at the menu and the stack of aluminum barrels made by the brewery next to it, and he knew that the owner of this small restaurant had good connections in many units.

You have to know that people who can open individual restaurants these days cannot do without certain connections, vision and courage, at least they can't open them for a long time.

It doesn't mean that if you catch a good time, you can get rich by opening a restaurant or a braised meat shop.

Let's not talk about other aspects, just talking about ingredients, grains, oils, and alcohol is a very rigid condition.

If there is no corresponding relationship, just relying on the exclusive quotas given to the restaurant, there is no way to meet daily needs, and the restaurant business is almost like fishing for three days and drying the net for two days.

Can I buy it on the black market?

This seems to be a way, but it is not an easy way to go.

First of all, the materials on the black market are very expensive, and the profit of the food you buy back will become very low.

Secondly, if the restaurant owner purchases materials from the black market for a long time, if he has not offended anyone and no one reports him, everything will be fine. However, if someone reports him, he will not be able to escape.

Therefore, during this period, many restaurant owners rode bicycles to the rural areas of Hebei Province around Sijiu City to purchase supplies from the brigades or villagers.

There was still a little risk in doing so, but those who dared to go to the rural areas of Hebei Province to purchase were not stupid. If they had relatives or connections there, it would be easy.

If they didn't, they would ask for connections through various connections, just like matchmakers in ancient times, and wait until they had established connections before taking action.

This allowed them to use relatives and friends as an excuse to minimize the risk.

However, even if those bosses had established connections and found places to purchase supplies, they could only set out in the dark when purchasing goods, working day and night, and trying to get back before dawn.

If they couldn't get back before dawn, it would not only affect the sales of the restaurant, but they would also be easily questioned by various law enforcement departments on the road during the day.

This situation was not divided into spring, summer, autumn and winter, and it didn't matter whether it was windy or rainy. At least before August 15, 1989, if they wanted to maintain their business, they had to repeat this.

The matter is not over yet. These restaurant owners must be able to withstand credit, especially for some departments. If they collect the credit in advance, the restaurant may not be able to continue.

Also, when those idle alley urchins and old guns are looking for trouble, the restaurant owner must have enough powerful people to help back him up, otherwise they will make trouble every few days and the restaurant will close sooner or later.

[So, if you have the opportunity to travel back to this era, don’t be fooled by the plots in some novels and the inspirational stories of some bosses, and invest in the catering industry as soon as your mind is hot.

If you don’t have a job and don’t want to leave your hometown, you can go to Yangcheng and Pengcheng in the south to sell some clothes and electronic watches.

If there is no suitable store and no appropriate relationship, then it is the best choice to sell in the local area. 】

(Those who feel that what Mao Sui said is wrong can go and look for the true story about Feijimou and Shazinian.)——

Let's get back to the point. Although this small restaurant has beer, it will not sell it to anyone who doesn't cook here, and it won't sell it to you even if you ask for it.

However, our country is a society of favors. Han Li also found that as long as the boss's neighbors come and buy a cold dish here, the boss will also sell them beer.

Those who have a good relationship with the boss not only don't have to buy food, but sometimes the boss doesn't even charge them for their beer.

This restaurant provides three types of beer glasses, which means there are four different pricing methods.

The first one is to use the bowls in their store. It is said that four bowls can hold one liter of beer.

The second one is a glass that can hold half a liter of beer.

The third one is a glass that can hold one liter of beer.

The fourth one is a large plastic cup that can hold two liters of beer.

Han Li and his friends are all in their twenties, and they are at the age of being able to eat and drink and to save face. They will not choose the low-class drinking method of a large bowl.

In most cases, a half-liter small cup is not enough for them to drink in one gulp, and a two-liter cup is too big. If they can't finish it in a short time, not only will the taste go away, but it will also not be cold.

So they finally chose the one-liter glass in the middle, and agreed not to change cups in the middle before they started drinking.

Han Li and his friends drank a cup together before the dishes came, and fried peanuts were served after they drank two cups in a row.

(Together: everyone at the table counts as one, and drink a full cup together.)

After Han Li and his friends drank three cups in a row, they were no longer in a hurry to drink, and started chatting while eating peanuts.

Although they said they were chatting, Han Li was still talking about foreign things, and others talked about what happened at home this year.

Han Li picked up some things that he could say about his situation in England this year and told all of them. Things that made him feel nothing were very fresh when his childhood friend heard them, and the noise was a little louder.

After the waiter heard Han Li talking about foreign things, she simply moved a stool nearby and sat down to listen when she had nothing to do.

After being heard by the neighbors, they not only lowered their voices, but also leaned sideways and listened.

Because people are very curious about foreign things these days, especially after several foreign movies were shown in Sijiu City, the situation of eavesdropping on Han Li's conversation has spread to further away.

Han Li felt very troubled after discovering this situation, so he quickly changed the topic to his childhood friend.

"Daqiang, my son is pregnant, but where is your boyfriend? My aunt didn't urge you."
