Era: 1979 From mountain man to richest man

Chapter 119: What happened at the state-owned hotel and went to see Kong Yun

"Comrade, I checked the letter you mentioned about Qian Tongjun three times to confirm that it is not there."

"Do you have anything else to do?"

"Oh, please send this letter."

Song Chaoyang finished his work and walked out of the post office.

The letter Professor Qian sent to his friend at Southern University fell into disarray, so he sent another letter to another friend.

I don’t know what the outcome will be this time.

Although Professor Qian didn't say anything on the surface, Song Chaoyang, an outsider, noticed that there must be something unusual here.

They were forgotten here, maybe someone did it on purpose.

However, this level is not yet accessible to Song Chaoyang, and he can only help a little bit.

After sending the letter away, Song Chaoyang went to the state-owned restaurant to meet Qin Tie as planned.

The craftsmanship of the state-owned restaurants here is actually pretty good, and the service attitude is not as bad as rumored.

"I know, I know, we invited you." The middle-aged woman smiled, fearing that she would say something wrong and hurt Song Chaoyang's self-esteem.

"Look how handsome I am." Song Chaoyang didn't want to continue on this issue, so he directly stuffed the bun into Qin Tie's hand:

It looks so lively.

Song Chaoyang looked confused.

The state-owned restaurant here is called "Workers, Peasants and Soldiers Restaurant".

Not even the shadow of the tractor was seen.

Qin Tie scratched his head and said:
"There are many rules in the county. They said tractors are not allowed to be parked outside this place, so we found another place to park."

"Then why would I give you food?" Qin Tie became even more curious.

"Brother Chaoyang!" A voice came over at this time.

There are no signs in restaurants prohibiting beating customers.

"Comrade, hurry up and eat." The middle-aged woman smiled and said to Song Chaoyang.

Isn't it just that I'm a bit poorly dressed? How can I look like a beggar?
Song Chaoyang was speechless.

At this time, he noticed the steamed buns in Song Chaoyang's hand:
"Hey, Brother Chaoyang, why did you eat it first? Didn't you say I was treating you today?"

Are you treating yourself as if you can’t afford to eat?
"Little brother, hurry up and eat." The little girl next to the middle-aged woman also said to Song Chaoyang in a coquettish voice.

There were actually several steamed buns inside.

"Meet an acquaintance?" Qin Tie asked curiously.

Just when he was getting impatient, a middle-aged woman with a child came over and handed him a plastic bag.

"No... I'm waiting for someone here. It's not that I can't afford it." Song Chaoyang handed the steamed bun back.

"Where did you go?" Song Chaoyang asked him.

It's a relatively good place.

After standing there for about ten minutes, Qin Tie hadn't arrived yet.

With that said, he turned around and left with the child.

"Here we came as soon as we parked."

Song Chaoyang glanced inside the state-owned restaurant. At this time, there were several tables seated inside at noon.

Food stamps and money are also needed to eat.

Song Chaoyang was startled and said:
"This...was given by someone else just now."

A bowl of plain noodles costs a few cents, and a stir-fry dish costs two cents.

"Take it and eat it."

In the 1960s and 1970s, people's living standards were low and materials were scarce. Prices set in the country were very low, and you could eat for just a few cents in a restaurant.

Of course, just eat enough.

If you want to eat well, look no further than this price.

Song Chaoyang didn't see Qin Tie, so he stood waiting at the door.

Song Chaoyang turned around and saw that it was Qin Tie and the tractor driver from the brigade.

This scene made Song Chaoyang dumbfounded.

Song Chaoyang said:
"do not recognize."

"Hey, I happen to be hungry. Let's get some food first."

?

When they arrived outside the state-owned restaurant, Song Chaoyang saw no one.

Qin Tie happily accepted it:

As he said that, he picked up the steamed buns and ate them, and handed one to the tractor driver beside him.

While eating, he asked Song Chaoyang if he wanted to have one.

Song Chaoyang directly rejected his kindness.

When he arrived at the hotel, Qin Tie went to the front desk and ordered a few dishes.

He had the ticket given to him by his father, but he didn't save anything at all.

We ordered six dishes and one soup, gave us money and tickets, and came back with the wooden sign with the number on it.

I'll call you later when the food is ready.

Just rely on this brand to get it

Qin Tie must have been really hungry, as he had eaten up a whole bag of steamed buns in just three strokes.

He still seemed to be unsatisfied.

"You seem to be in a good mood?" Song Chaoyang said to Qin Tie.

As soon as Qin Tie heard what Song Chaoyang said, he immediately leaned into Song Chaoyang's ear and whispered:
"Hey, Brother Chaoyang, I met Shi Xiaona today!"

Song Chaoyang rolled his eyes at him angrily:
"I met you when I met you. Look at your potential, you smile like you've eaten honey."

"This time is different, she is single!" Qin Tie said the news excitedly.

"Haha, someone changed again so soon." Song Chaoyang shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Qin Tie immediately said:
"The fact that she changed people so quickly means that the person before was not the one she was destined to be."

"Maybe they are making room for me."

Seeing his happy expression, Song Chaoyang couldn't help but remind him:

"Why do you have to like such a person?"

"I just don't understand. What's so good about her?"

"With your conditions, you can definitely find a better one."

Qin Tie smacked his lips and said:
"Brother Chaoyang, you haven't met the one you are destined for yet. If you do, you will have the same sense of fate as me that you must marry her."

"This feeling is very mysterious. You might not believe it even if I tell you."

"But I feel like I should be paired with her for the rest of my life."

After hearing this, Song Chaoyang didn't know how to answer. To be honest, he had never had such a sense of fate in his entire life.

In the end he had no choice but to shake his head:
"Then I really can't understand it."

"Maybe my level is really not as high as yours."

Just as Qin Tiegang was about to answer, he heard shouting from the direction of the kitchen:
"No. 8! Your food is ready. Which table is it at?"

He quickly raised the wooden sign in his hand and said hello:
"Here, here." After a while, the waiter brought the dish he had just ordered.

Six dishes, one soup, and two bowls of rice per person.

But before the three of them could use their chopsticks, another duplicate dish was brought up.

"How many did you order?" Song Chaoyang looked at Qin Tie.

"I didn't order this, and I can't possibly order the same thing again?" Qin Tie also looked at the waiter in confusion.

The waiter looked confused. After hearing the conversation between Song Chaoyang and the others, he realized that he had served the wrong dish, and he looked quite unhappy.

The waiters in state-owned restaurants these days are indeed a bit careless. If the wrong food is served, the chef and the waiter will never reconcile.

Because they had already given money just now, if Song Chaoyang and the others didn't say anything, they would still be able to eat this dish even if it was wrong.

The waiter was a little unhappy that they could obviously take advantage of this, but they had to say it out loud.

It feels like everyone at this table is busy.

When the waiter took the dishes away in muttering, Song Chaoyang shook his head helplessly.

Although reform and opening up have begun, many enterprises have not yet been restructured and are still state-owned. This is the case for employees of state-owned hotels.

In a few years, when individual restaurants and hotels will spring up like mushrooms after a rain, this kind of state-owned restaurants will show various shortcomings.

In the end, most of them were eliminated by the market and exited the stage of history.

Such a small episode cannot affect the appetite of the three of them.

We chatted while eating and finished our lunch in about 40 minutes.

With 6 dishes, a soup, and two bowls of rice per person, everyone ate to their stomachs.

Although the taste is not as good as Song Chaoyang's, everyone does not come here for the taste.

As long as you can eat enough.

Taste comes second.

After eating, we came out of the restaurant.

Song Chaoyang was going to buy wild ginseng for Lao Zhangtou, and then went to find Kong Yun.

Qin Tie planned to find his goddess Shi Xiaona.

A time and place for the meeting were agreed upon.

So as not to delay watching Jiang Xiaowei and Sha Dejun target shooting on the way back.

Song Chaoyang then headed towards the nearby pharmacy.

There are not too few wild ginseng these days.

There are several old ones in Chinese medicine shops.

But Lao Zhangtou doesn't buy this.

He wanted an ordinary vintage.

After asking about the prices, I found that they were collected from several communes around the area. Common wild ginseng costs about 30 yuan per kilogram.

Song Chaoyang spent all the money Lao Zhangtou gave him to buy wild ginseng of ordinary years.

For two hundred yuan, I bought more than six kilograms of wild ginseng.

After buying the things, Song Chaoyang was ready to go to Grandpa Kong Yun's house.

After all, he was a guest, and Song Chaoyang bought some fruit on the way there.

There are still a lot of fruits in this season, and tickets are not required.

Song Chaoyang quickly bought a lot of peaches, plums and bayberries, and also got a watermelon that was not too big.

He just received a royalties of 2300 today, and the fruits costing just a few cents here are really a blessing to him.

Song Chaoyang even planned to bring some to his family when he went back.

After all, it's not that expensive.

The Qingsong Bay side is arid, and the fruit yield and taste are not good. Most of the fruits sold here are near the reservoir or the river dam.

Carrying two pockets of fruit, Song Chaoyang arrived at the gate of Grandpa Kong Yun's home.

This is still a compound for cadres' families, but the scale is smaller than that of Kong Yun's family.

When Song Chaoyang arrived at the door, he didn't see the guard, so he walked in directly.

I randomly found a few old ladies and asked about Secretary Kong's father's address and pretended to do so.

Song Chaoyang found the place.

This is the first floor with a courtyard.

A pavilion was set up in the yard, and some crops were planted around it.

As soon as Song Chaoyang approached, he saw a big yellow dog rushing over.

He immediately blocked Song Chaoyang in front of him and threatened him with low sounds.

Seeing that Song Chaoyang was unmoved, it barked immediately.

"Wang! Wang!"

"Dahuang, are you having a guest?" A familiar voice sounded behind him.

The big yellow dog immediately ran back wagging its tail.

Then he greeted the man out.

"Chao... Chaoyang?!" The person who came out was Kong Yun, and she was stunned.

He looked at Song Chaoyang who appeared in front of him in shock.

I thought I would never see her again, but I didn't expect to be standing in front of her alive now.

At this moment, her eyes were red.

"Does this dog bite?" Song Chaoyang pointed to the big yellow dog at Kong Yun's feet.

Kong Yun was stunned, and her brewing emotions were diluted by Song Chaoyang's words.

Then she laughed.

It was as if I had returned to my days in the village.

She was always happy when Song Chaoyang was around.

"Don't bite, it's smart." Kong Yun smiled and rubbed the big yellow dog's head.

The big yellow dog immediately stuck out its tongue in comfort and kept rubbing at her feet.

At this time, other people in the room heard the noise outside and came out one after another.

Cao Wei was also surprised when she saw Song Chaoyang.

She didn't know how Song Chaoyang found this place?
But at this moment, Kong Yun had already walked to Song Chaoyang and took the fruit from his hand.

He turned around and introduced Song Chaoyang to the grandparents at the door.

When Kong Yun's grandparents heard the words Song Chaoyang, they immediately understood who this young man was.

Grandpa Kong Yun looked Song Chaoyang up and down, then nodded and said:

"He looks good, he doesn't look like someone who is unlucky."

This opening statement surprised several people.

When Song Chaoyang heard these words, he directly thought of his father.

This old man actually meets me again?
However, Grandpa Kong Yun didn’t talk so much nonsense. After speaking, he waved to Song Chaoyang:
"You are here as a guest, come in."
