Soul of the Siheyuan: Zhuzi, I can still give birth

He Yuzhu was playing Go with his leader, but today's leader seemed a little absent-minded while playing.

He Yuzhu glanced at the leader's hand holding the chess piece, which was still hesitant, so he picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip of tea, and then spoke.

"The leader is worried today?!"

The leader looked up at He Yuzhu, then sighed and said.

"At a critical moment in national construction, foreign countries have completely blocked us. Not to mention technology, they won't even sell us machines."

"Our country has gone from being poor and backward to now being in a state of reconstruction. Every step has been so difficult."

"As the old saying goes: It's hard to conquer a kingdom, but it's even harder to rule it. When you conquer a kingdom, at least you know who your enemies are, but when you rule it, enemies are everywhere!"

He Yuzhu looked at his gloomy leader, thought for a moment and said.

"Leader, there are some things that don't require our people to come in person. Asking someone else to do it might be more efficient!"

The leader was about to make a move, and when he heard He Yuzhu say this, he immediately became interested.

"Zhu Zi, tell me how to get twice the result with half the effort!"

The leader suddenly became interested and without noticing, the chess piece in his hand fell onto the chessboard.

He Yuzhu immediately pushed forward a chess piece, blocking the leader's way.

The leader was tired and was about to regret his move, but He Yuzhu said.

"If I remember correctly, there is a wealthy family named Huo in Hong Kong Island. He has a lot of say in Hong Kong Island. The most important thing is that he is also a famous businessman."

The leader thought about it and looked at Secretary Chen beside him, who nodded.

"Leader, the Huo family in Xiangdao is indeed very powerful in Xiangdao. In Xiangdao, they are known as the Sea Sand King and specialize in the industry of salvaging sand and gravel from the seabed."

"We in Hong Kong have had some contact with the Huo family. I heard that he has a good relationship with some foreign machinery companies."

"If we want to order machines, we can indeed secretly purchase more advanced machines from abroad through him!"

Secretary Chen's words also made the leader's frown relax.

Looking back at He Yuzhu, the leader finally smiled.

"Zhu Zi, how do you know everything? Tell me, where did you get this news?"

Zhuzi was stunned.

How do I explain this special code? Should I tell my leader?

You, including everyone here, are all fictional characters in a TV show. It was the system that changed the plot and allowed me to be reborn.

After saying this, he was immediately dragged out and paraded through the streets for spreading evil rumors.

"I once heard it on the radio. Although it was just a few sentences, it was a report specifically introducing the deeds of patriotic Chinese and overseas Chinese."

He Yuzhu said nonsense.

Although the leader looked at He Yuzhu with suspicion, after thinking about it, he felt that what he said made sense.

The leader put down the chess piece, stood up and went to the next room, probably to make a phone call.

He was afraid that the call would not be over in a short time, so He Yuzhu simply said goodbye to the leader's wife.

The leader’s wife was also very happy to see that her husband’s heart knot had been untied.

"Zhu Zi, take this. We don't have anything to give you for your wedding. Take this and think of it as a wedding gift from me and your boss."

The leader's wife stuffed a bill into He Yuzhu's pocket. He Yuzhu didn't even look at it. He just said thank you and put the bill in his pocket.

"Madam, the leader is fine now. I have a pot of chicken soup in the casserole in the kitchen. Heat it up for the leader tonight. It will be good for his health."

He Yuzhu stewed a chicken with spiritual spring water, which could help the leader recover from physical fatigue.

"Xiao Chen, let Xiao Li drive Zhuzi back."

Secretary Chen nodded and went out with Zhuzi.

After getting in the car, Master Li drove the sedan and took He Yuzhu out of the compound.

"Master Li, I'm so sorry to bother you again. Take this pack of cigarettes."

As he spoke, He Yuzhu handed over a handful of profit cigarettes.

This thing usually costs 80 cents.

Although driver Xiao Li's monthly salary is not low, more than 30 yuan, he dare not smoke such cigarettes. He usually smokes Daqianmen.

Master Li took the profit with a smile, then said to He Yuzhu.

"Deputy Director He is too polite. However, Deputy Director He, I think your career is going to be smooth sailing. I think you will be promoted to the position of deputy director soon."

Master Li envied He Yuzhu very much.

If you can get the appreciation of the leader, and with the leader's position, it only takes a word for you to promote someone to a higher position.

If I had the ability and opportunities like Deputy Director He, I would definitely kowtow a hundred times to my ancestors' graves if anyone scolded me.

"Hey... there, for a cook like me, being the deputy director of the canteen is already the best I can do. Master Li, please drop me off at Wangfujing Department Store later. I'm going to go buy some things."

Thinking about how his family was being bullied by the Jia family, he simply replaced all the pots and pans in the house. Qin Huairu's private life was so messy, who knew if she had any disease.

"Okay, Deputy Director He, I'll drive to Wangfujing Department Store."

Soon, He Yuzhu and his companions arrived at their destination. After saying goodbye to Master Li, He Yuzhu set foot in Wangfujing Department Store again.

He doesn't have to go back to work this afternoon, so he has plenty of time to hang out.

I miss the teahouse culture of the old city of Sijiu twenty years later.

However, in this era, although there are teahouses, not many people dare to go in and drink tea.

The people of the whole country are working hard to build the country, and you people dare to sit here and drink tea and take a break! !

But I can't just go shopping all afternoon, I have to find a place to kill time.

Suddenly He Yuzhu remembered the ticket given to him by his leader’s wife, but he didn’t know what it was.

But at most it's a bicycle ticket or a sewing plane ticket, what else could it be.

He Yuzhu took it out casually and took a look at it, his pupils widened in shock.

"Electricity...Electricity...TV pick-up coupon!!!"

What He Yuzhu held in his hand was the TV font coupon.

This ticket is different from ordinary bicycle tickets.

That kind of ticket only proves that you are eligible to buy these things, but you still need to pay extra.

But you don’t have to spend a penny to pick up this voucher.

Just take the coupon and go to the relevant counter to pick up the items. It doesn’t cost a penny.

Although He Yuzhu doesn't think much of the television of this era.

The screen is small and in black and white, which is not interesting at all.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered that in his previous life, he took private jobs outside, earned money, and bought a TV.

I had just brought it home and hadn't even unpacked it when it was taken away by Xiaodang and Huaihua from the Jia family.

She also said with confidence that if she wanted to watch TV in the future, she could go to their house.

Qin Huairu, the old white lotus, also joined in the fun, urging her two daughters to take the TV home.

"You, Widow Qin, will never have a chance in this lifetime."

He Yuzhu sneered and muttered in his heart. He wanted to wait until Ran Qiuye got off work, and then they could go to the department store together to get the TV.

It was also a surprise for her.

But it’s just after lunch and it’s still early before school is over.

"Where are you going?"

He Yuzhu was feeling worried when suddenly someone patted his shoulder.

He Yuzhu turned around and saw that it was Lou Xiao'e and the Lou couple.

(The Lou family wiped their tears and said: Author, you are so special. You finally remembered our family.)

"Brother Zhuzi, did you skip work today to pick up some girl?"

Lou Xiao'e asked with a smile.

"Uncle Lou, Aunt Tan, Xiao'e, where are you going?"

Lou Zhenhua said with a laugh.

"The weather is nice today. We just finished shopping in the department store and are going to have afternoon tea at Lao Mo's Restaurant. If you have nothing to do, come and have afternoon tea with us. We haven't seen each other for a long time."

He Yuzhu just had nowhere to go, and he knew that this Lao Mo restaurant was opened by the Russians.

In the old city of that era, it was also a top restaurant.

Before the relationship between the bear and the rabbit deteriorated, many Russians came here to support us, so this Lao Mo restaurant had good business every day.

Those Russians love to hold parties and have parties at Lao Mo's restaurant every day.

However, He Yuzhu has never been to Lao Mo's restaurant. To enter, one needs a ticket.

Only those with tickets can enter Lao Mo's restaurant, and this ticket can be used to deduct five dollars from consumption.

These receipts were all issued by Lao Mo's Restaurant, and those who could get these receipts were all well-known people in society.

As the richest family in the city, the Lou family naturally falls into this category.

And there is no limit on the number of tickets.

"Okay...Okay, I haven't been to Lao Mo's Restaurant yet!"

He Yuzhu certainly wanted to see the world. As a chef, his favorite thing was to study other people's dishes.

Naturally, this Western cuisine is also one of his research targets.

He Yuzhu had also eaten Western food in later generations, but they were all Western restaurants mainly serving European and American food.

I have never eaten this Western food, so I went to see the world.

"Okay then, let's go and have a good chat. I heard from Director Yang that you are married?"

Lou Zhenhua said jokingly.

He Yuzhu nodded.

Lou Xiao'e said at this time.

"Brother Zhuzi, is my sister-in-law pretty? Where does she work?"

Several people were walking and chatting.

However, what the Lou family was most concerned about was what He Yuzhu's clothes looked like.

"Her name is Ran Qiuye, she teaches at Red Star Primary School, and she's average looking. I'm not such a superficial person, I don't look at appearance."

He Yuzhu said shamelessly.

Lou Xiao'e threatened He Yuzhu's hand and insisted on going with him.

He Yuzhu felt embarrassed.

We got on the car and drove straight to Xizhimen.

Lao Mo's Restaurant is a foreign-related restaurant opened by Mao Xiong in 1954.

When we arrived outside Xizhimen, we saw a building with a very Russian style standing there from afar.

The neon sign had the big Arabic numerals 1954 written on it.

That is the Moscow Restaurant, also known as Lao Mo Restaurant.

There are guards standing guard at the door of Lao Mo's restaurant, which makes it look particularly majestic.

"Let's go, we're here. Zhuzi, you haven't been here before, so today is a good time to try some foreign food. Don't be polite with your Uncle Lou. Go in and order whatever you want."

Lou Zhenhua said proudly.

The waiter at the door saw Lou Zhenhua and his family coming and immediately came over to greet them.

"Hello, Mr. Lou, the private room has been reserved for you, please come in!!"

He Yuzhu looked at Lou Zhenhua in surprise.

The fact that a top foreign-related restaurant like Lao Mo's Restaurant could reserve a private room for them shows how rich the Lou family is and how much face they have.

Entered the restaurant.

There are quite a lot of people inside. It's past dinner time, so these people are here to drink coffee and have afternoon tea.

The air was filled with the aroma of coffee, but He Yuzhu was not used to drinking coffee, whether in this life or the previous one.

After entering the private room, I found that it was a room overlooking the windowsill. There was a thin curtain separating the window from the outside.

In He Yuzhu's opinion, the decoration of Lao Mo Western Restaurant is luxurious even in the eyes of future generations.

Especially the golden decoration style of the hall, which makes it feel like being in a palace.

Many people who come here for the first time are confused.

The Lou family each ordered a cup of coffee and some snacks.

But I ordered the signature dish for He Yuzhu.

Beef Casserole, and Creamy Chicken.

He Yuzhu was not polite and carefully tasted the food in Lao Mo Restaurant.

The beef is chewy and has a unique flavor. It’s not that delicious, but it’s not bad either.

It's just a peculiar treat.

As for the cream chicken nuggets, it was quite good and tasted soft.

"Brother Zhuzi, how does it taste?"

Seeing He Yuzhu eating so happily, Lou Xiao'e couldn't help but feel a little greedy herself.

He Yuzhu put down the spoon and sighed.

"This Western food is just a rarity. It's far inferior to our Chinese cuisine. I remember that the Great Yin Empire even had a dish called gazing at the stars. I heard that it made anyone sad and anyone who saw it cried!!"

Mother Lou smiled and said.

"You know what's happening on the other side of the Earth, but speaking of that Great Yin Empire, their food is indeed terrible."

As the originator of Tan’s cuisine, they are indeed qualified to look down on the food of the Dayin Empire.

But He Yuzhu changed the subject at this time.

"Uncle Lou, what is your eldest son doing now?"

Lou Zhenhua has two children, a son and a daughter. The eldest is Lou Jingsheng and the second is Lou Xiao'e.

Lou Zhenhua put down the coffee cup and spoke slowly.

"The boss has nothing to do right now, and we don't know what to ask him to do. In this era, even if we want to do something, we can't do it!!"

Lou Zhenhua's tone was somewhat helpless.

He Yuzhu really wanted to tell them to flee to Hong Kong Island as soon as possible, because they would be in trouble in the next three years.

But will they believe it if I tell them?

I definitely won't believe it.

"Uncle Lou, you can go to Hong Kong to develop your career. It's very open there, and there are plenty of opportunities to show your talents."

"Xiangdao!!"

Lou Zhenhua kept repeating the name.

Many of his friends also went to Hong Kong to develop their careers.

He had also thought about going to Hong Kong, but he was reluctant to leave this city where he had struggled for half his life.

"If he doesn't go to Xiangdao, what can he do?"

I didn't know what Lou Zhenhua said at the moment. It was no problem to let his son go to Hong Kong, but what to do there was the big problem.

"Uncle Lou, how much research does your boss have on Tan's cuisine?"

He Yuzhu asked seriously.

Lou Zhenhua didn't say anything, but Lou's mother beside him spoke up.

"He knows a little, but not much. However, he is very interested in doing business. However, there are not many businesses that can be done in the country now."

After hearing what Lou's mother said, He Yuzhu nodded.

"Uncle Lou, if you believe me, I will ask you to ask the eldest brother to go to Xiangdao and open a high-end Tan's cuisine restaurant. Some of my brothers are better at cooking Tan's cuisine than I am. You can bring them with you."

During the great storm a few years later, these senior brothers of He Yuzhu were also liquidated because they had been cooking Tan’s cuisine, and their fate was quite miserable.

It would be better to let them take their families and follow the Lou family to Hong Kong Island.

"Zhu Zi, why do you want to open a high-end restaurant? You can't make much money."

Lou Zhenhua's family is very wealthy, and he looks down on the meager earnings from running a restaurant.

"Uncle Lou, of course you can't make much money by opening a restaurant, but there are a lot of rich people in Xiangdao, and there is no such aristocratic cuisine as Tan's cuisine."

"Think about it, the people who will come to eat at the Tan Family Restaurant in the future will all be rich or noble, and they have a lot of resources in their hands...!!"

He Yuzhu didn't finish his words, but Lou Zhenhua, who had been in business for a lifetime, immediately knew the reason why He Yuzhu asked his eldest son to go to Hong Kong.

"Zhu Zi, I don't think you are a cook. You are more like a shrewd businessman. Why don't you go to Hong Kong Island with my boss to do business? I will give you the capital."

He Yuzhu shook his head and rejected Lou Zhenhua's invitation. He is now in Beijing and earns over ten thousand yuan a month.

After the reform and opening up, I still have a lot to do, so there is no need to go to Hong Kong.

"Uncle Lou, opening a restaurant is just the first step, and real estate is the highlight!"

He Yuzhu's words confused the Lou family.

"What the hell is real estate? I don't understand it at all! !"

Lou Zhenhua racked his brains but still had no idea what real estate was.
