Siheyuan: Starting with one acre and three fen of land

Yesterday was a double blessing! I confirmed the existence of the tavern and also worshipped a martial arts master.

He Yuzhu rode his bicycle to the new store in Taipingqiao with a smile on his face.

The moment he saw the new store from afar, he deliberately slowed down and passed by the store.

"Hey! Why is there a red ribbon tied at the door? Are they going to have an opening ceremony?" He Yuzhu guessed secretly in his heart.

He Yuzhu walked into the kitchen with a little expectation in his heart, and saw Liu Zixing who was busy at work at a glance.

He walked over quickly and asked softly, "Master Liu, are you planning to hold an opening ceremony today? I saw colorful ribbons when I passed by just now."

Liu Zixing didn't even raise his head and continued with his work: "Zhu Zi, you don't know, how can I know? I will know when the time comes."

He Yuzhu nodded, showing his understanding: "Okay! You go ahead and get busy! Looking at the situation today, I guess we'll be busy!"

Liu Zixing stopped what he was doing and looked around. He found that the kitchen staff seemed a little short of manpower, so he turned to look at He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, do you think it's time to add more people?"

"Hmm?" He Yuzhu heard this, looked at the kitchen, and nodded in agreement, "Master Liu, you are right."

Liu Zixing looked at him and said with a smile: "Then this task is handed over to you! Go and give feedback to Manager Hong."

He Yuzhu heard this and showed a helpless expression: "Huh? Master Liu, why did you assign this to me?"

"Who made you the first cook now? If you don't go, who will? Come earlier so we can be less tired!" Liu Zixing patted him on the shoulder to show encouragement.

He Yuzhu sighed, shrugged, and nodded helplessly: "What you said makes sense, then I will bring up this matter!"

He glanced over today's preparations and estimated that the quantity was a bit too much.

He Yuzhu put on an apron and started to work so as not to affect the cooking.

In the kitchen, the clatter of pots and pans was heard one after another. Everyone was busy and orderly, doing their own job.

By noon, the area in front of the Emei Restaurant was already bustling with activity, attracting many passers-by to stop and watch.

"Comrade Wu, the time has come, we can start!" Hong Deyou turned his head and looked at Wu Zhaoxiong excitedly.

Wu Zhaoxiong nodded slightly and a smile appeared on his face.

Hong Deyou took a deep breath and said to Zhang Mao, "Manager Zhang, get ready to set off the firecrackers. The ceremony begins!"

"Good luck!" Zhang Mao responded loudly and then lit the firecracker in his hand.

As the fuse burned, the sound of firecrackers exploded instantly, and warm applause broke out from the crowd.

Hong Deyou was in high spirits. When the firecrackers were over, he gestured to Wu Zhaoxiong to come forward and say a few words.

Wu Zhaoxiong humbly walked towards the crowd and raised his hand: "Dear friends, today is the opening day of our new Emei Restaurant. First of all, I want to thank you all for coming and supporting us."

After he finished speaking, he bowed and clasped his fists towards the crowd, who then burst into applause again.

Wu Zhaoxiong stood up and smiled: “I’m sure everyone has heard that my new store was expanded with the help of the government.

Here, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the government. I believe that with everyone's joint efforts, Emei Restaurant will be able to reach a higher level! "

After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands, walked to the side, and looked at Hong Deyou with a smile.

Hong Deyou quickly took over the conversation: "I am Hong Deyou, the public manager of Emei Restaurant. Some of my friends know me, but some may not know me yet.

I know that some of you may not understand our policy very well. What I want to tell you today is that joint venture is not the takeover that Chiang Kai-shek used to do, but real cooperation.

We will convert your shares into shares, and you will get dividends every year. At the same time, we will help you solve your difficulties and contribute manpower to expand your business.

Our goal is not to seize everyone’s property, but to transform the industry, eliminate the bad habits of the old society, and protect everyone’s rights and interests.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a questioning voice came from the crowd: "You sound nice, but does what you said count?"

Hong Deyou was slightly startled, then looked in the direction where the sound came from.

"Of course it counts. We Red Party members keep our words!" Upon hearing these decisive words, the crowd immediately parted ways, and a middle-aged man walked out.

Everyone around him looked at him and talked among themselves.

Hong Deyou looked over, his eyes narrowed involuntarily, and he quickly ran down the stairs and went forward to greet him: "Xie District Chief, why are you here?"

District Chief Xie walked out of the crowd, nodded to Hong Deyou and a few others, and turned to face the crowd: "Hello everyone! I am Xie Changde from our district. I assure you that the policies that Manager Hong just mentioned are effective.

Of course, we are not forcing everyone to participate. Now that Emei Restaurant has made a good start, you can see the actual results!

Whether it’s a month or a year, you can come and cooperate whenever you feel comfortable. We always welcome everyone!”

Hong Deyou took the lead in applauding, and Xie Changde suppressed his applause: "I won't say much, everyone go in and enjoy the food!"

Hong Deyou led Xie Changde into the door and said, "Manager Zhang, please go and entertain the guests first!"

Xie Changde turned around and called Wu Zhaoxiong: "Comrade Wu, you come too!"

Inside the new office, sunlight shines through the windows onto the floor.

Xie Changde sat on a rattan chair, holding a teacup, and looked at Hong Deyou and Wu Zhaoxiong who were sitting opposite him.

He coughed lightly and cleared his throat: "You two, I'll be leaving soon if something happens. I'll make it short now."

Xie Changde put down his teacup and continued, "Now the restaurant is already a pilot project. Not only am I paying attention to the situation here, but many people are also paying attention to the development here.

I believe that with Comrade Wu's superb craftsmanship, we will achieve greater results here. This is what we want to see."

After saying this, his eyes locked on Hong Deyou.

Hong Deyou felt this gaze and immediately straightened his back and assured with a solemn oath: "Thank you, District Chief. Don't worry! I know what's going on."

Xie Changde nodded in satisfaction and looked at Wu Zhaoxiong with a smile: "Comrade Wu, I would like to thank you for your trust in me for making this choice. I believe that Emei Restaurant will surely become famous and prosperous."

"Thank you for your words, District Chief! I don't have to worry a lot now. I can just sit in the office and drink tea." Wu Zhaoxiong replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Xie Changde couldn't help but cast a questioning look at Hong Deyou.

Hong Deyou immediately understood and explained, "Comrade Wu's apprentice is now as skilled as he is!"

"Haha! You are really better than me! I feel relieved." Xie Changde stood up and said, "I will be leaving first, both of you!"

Seeing this, Hong Deyou hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay, "District Chief, it's time for dinner. Why don't you eat first?"

Xie Changde waved his hand: "Time is a bit tight today, so I won't keep you here. Come back and taste the food in your restaurant when you have the chance."

The two men sent Xie Changde to the door and watched him go away.
