In the courtyard, everyone is afraid of the little boy who is so smart!

Wang Jianguo was a little hesitant after hearing what Zhao Shuzhuo said. He thought about it for a while and felt that what Zhao Shuzhuo said made sense. When you are away from home, you should indeed save some money.

In the end, Wang Jianguo couldn't win over Zhao Shuzhuo and only asked for two rooms: he and Zhao Shuzhuo shared one room, and He Yushui shared another.

After arranging accommodation, the three of them sat in the room and began to discuss the next plan of action.

Wang Jianguo knocked on He Yushui's door, looked at He Yushui in the opposite room, and said with a smile:

"Yushui, put your things away quickly. We finally made it to the city, I'll treat you to a meal at the state-owned restaurant."

When He Yushui heard this, a look of joy appeared on his face and he nodded in response.

At this time, Zhao Shuzhuo looked puzzled and asked:

"Shouldn't we go find a glass manufacturer first? Time is running out, shouldn't we hurry up and get down to business?"

Wang Jianguo looked at Zhao Shuzhuo and explained patiently:

"Shuzhuo, think about it, we finally came to the city, don't be too anxious."

"Let's go see what the state-owned restaurant is like first. This is a rare opportunity. Maybe in the future our village will have a restaurant too."

“Learning about it in advance can help us accumulate some experience for the development of the village.”

Zhao Shuzhuo frowned slightly after hearing what Wang Jianguo said, and fell into deep thought. After a while, he felt that what Wang Jianguo said made sense.

After all, they seldom have the opportunity to come to the city, and since they are here this time, there is no harm in seeing more.

So, Zhao Shuzhuo nodded, indicating that he agreed with Wang Jianguo's idea.

The three of them returned to their rooms and quickly put away the things they had brought. After carefully checking to make sure nothing was left out, they locked the door.

Then, they walked towards the state-owned restaurant together. Along the way, they were both excited and expectant, wanting to see what was so special about this state-owned restaurant.

When they walked into the restaurant, the first thing that caught their eyes was the relatively simple facilities in the store.

The tables and chairs are all made of wood. The round table is matched with square stools, giving people a simple feeling.

There are propaganda posters and slogans hanging on the walls, showing the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland and the hard work of the working people.

The slogans are full of positive energy, inspiring people to work hard to build the country.

In a conspicuous position, there is a square blackboard with today's discounted dishes written on it in white chalk.

These discounted dishes attracted the attention of many customers, and everyone was discussing which dishes to order to enjoy this rare discount.

After the three of them walked into the state-owned restaurant, they looked around for a suitable seat.

After a while, they found an empty table and walked over and sat down together.

At this time, the state-owned restaurant was quite lively with customers coming and going.

However, since there were relatively few waiters in state-owned restaurants, it was impossible to have dedicated waiters to serve each table of guests like restaurants do today, so customers dining here still needed to order their own food.

Wang Jianguo stood up and walked towards the order window. As he walked, he paid attention to the surroundings and was full of curiosity about this state-owned restaurant.

Coming to the window, Wang Jianguo saw samples of various dishes placed behind the glass, allowing for easy viewing.

He selected carefully and finally ordered two plates of dumplings and two dishes.

One of the dishes is braised pork, which has a bright red color and a fragrant aroma, making people salivate at the sight of it.

Another dish is stir-fried vegetables. The lush green vegetables look very fresh and give people a refreshing feeling.

After ordering the dishes, Wang Jianguo took out the meal ticket he had prepared in advance from his pocket and handed it to the waiter.

The waiter took the meal ticket, counted it skillfully, and after confirming that it was correct, he tore off a number and handed it to Wang Jianguo, then turned around and told the kitchen to prepare the food.

Wang Jianguo returned to his seat with the number and waited patiently with He Yushui and Zhao Shuzhuo.

Soon, a burst of aroma wafted from the direction of the kitchen. Then, a waiter came over with hot dumplings and two dishes, one meat and one vegetable.

She placed the dishes steadily on the table and said with a smile:

"Please enjoy."

Then he turned and left.

Zhao Shuzhuo looked at the dumplings and dishes in front of him, looking a little embarrassed. He frowned slightly and said to Wang Jianguo:

"Jianguo, some steamed buns and pickles would be enough. Why did you order dumplings? That's too expensive."

Wang Jianguo listened to Zhao Shuzhuo's words, smiled, then patted Zhao Shuzhuo on the shoulder and said:

"Brother Zhao, just eat your food. We have been traveling all the way here and it is very tiring. Only when we are full can we have the energy to work."

"People say that a poor family makes a rich road trip. When we are away from home, we have to eat better. Besides, this doesn't happen often, so it's okay to have a good meal once in a while."

Zhao Shuzhuo listened to Wang Jianguo's words and understood that Wang Jianguo was doing this for everyone's good.

He knew he couldn't win the argument with Wang Jianguo, so he smiled, nodded, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

He Yushui looked at Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo, and her heart was also filled with emotion. She also picked up the chopsticks, picked up a dumpling and put it into her mouth.

The dumplings tasted delicious, and she couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. The three of them ate their meals while discussing their next plans, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

After having their meal in this state-owned restaurant, the three of them all had satisfied looks on their faces.

Perhaps they were hungry and tired because they had been sitting in the car for such a long time, experiencing the bumpy ride and not having eaten for a long time.

The food on the table was eaten up in no time at all under their whirlwind attack, not even a trace of residue was left.

After finishing their meal, they sat down and started to discuss their next move: Should they go to the glass factory first, or should they go to the supply and marketing cooperative first?

Zhao Shuzhuo was the first to express his opinion, and he meant to go to the glass factory first.

In his opinion, one of the main purposes of their visit was to see if the glass factory could provide them with glass.

Only after confirming this matter can he feel at ease and consider other things with peace of mind.

He elaborated on his views seriously, his eyes revealing determination and expectation.

But He Yushui had a different idea. As a female comrade, she preferred to go to the supply and marketing cooperative first.

She thought that the supply and marketing cooperative might have some items they needed, or that they could get some useful information.

Moreover, the supply and marketing cooperatives usually give people a sense of intimacy, making her feel that she can find some help there.

She expressed her thoughts in a soft voice, her eyes full of tenderness and expectation.

As for Wang Jianguo, he had different thoughts at this time.

He had just finished his meal, and the fatigue in his body suddenly came over him. He wanted to go back to the guesthouse, have a good rest, and recover his strength.

He leaned back in his chair, slightly closed his eyes, and slowly expressed his thoughts.

The three of them each held their own opinions, and for a moment they were deadlocked, and no one knew who to listen to.
