Chapter 251 The Cafeteria Was Occupied

The canteen of the machinery factory is scheduled to open on May 1st. The local chicken restaurant is also scheduled at the same time. The main reason is to get a good stove. Many people go out to play during the May Day holiday, and any restaurant with gourmet food will have a lot of business. It will open on May Day to have a good start.

However, although the canteen of the machinery factory has not officially opened, it has already started internal operations.

The cook auntie hired by Luo Cheng has been dismissed. In fact, the cook auntie is also reluctant to do it. There are more and more people eating. If it weren’t for the employees of several nearby stores to help appropriately, she would be too busy.

Now the canteen is equivalent to taking over the work meals of Luo Cheng’s nearby employees, plus the staff who are preparing for the canteen themselves, they also need to eat.

It is also very simple for employees to come here to eat, and no proof is required. They also take various tickets to eat, such as meal tickets, vegetarian tickets, semi-meat tickets, and meat tickets. There are also breakfast tickets, but breakfast can only be used after the official opening. Now the canteen has not prepared breakfast.

Another point is that the restaurant has not officially opened yet, so the variety of dishes is relatively small. Because the number of dishes purchased is small, the cost of the dishes is not low.

However, one thing is that the restaurant has already earned income before it opened. The location of the restaurant is actually good for the flow of people nearby. If it is not on the second floor, but on the first floor, many people will notice it without advertising.

Several promotional posters are posted downstairs. In fact, the business model and prices are easy to attract people's attention. Although it is not a membership, it is a bit similar, because the minimum purchase cost is more than 100 yuan, but some restaurants give consumption membership cards that can be swiped. This big restaurant uses paper tickets.

Some older people, especially those over 60 years old, have deep feelings. Especially those who used to be workers, walked into the restaurant and found that there were many newspapers before the 1960s on the wall, large slogans of the restaurant, and decorative styles.

Even the window for serving food is in the style of that era. For some elderly people, it is their memories. Even the style of the meal ticket is made by imitating the style of various tickets of that era. At most, the content is different.

Just one hundred yuan, for many elderly people, it is nothing. And even if it is not officially opened now, as the "canteen director" Zhu Li said, such a large venue, the elderly can come here to play chess and cards when they are free.

It is even good to bring tea and read books when you are free, and there are many newspapers from that era collected here. Looking at the newspapers of their own era is also a kind of nostalgia.

In this way, this large canteen of the machinery factory has not yet opened, but many people in the vicinity have bought tickets. Even like other employees, even if there are few dishes at present, they will not go back at noon, and they will eat here with meal tickets. And many elderly people obviously have a lot of decent tableware and lunch boxes at home, such as stainless steel, with several layers, and can keep warm.

But they just want to buy the aluminum lunch boxes and spoons provided by the canteen here, and wash the tableware themselves after each meal. They usually come here to stroll in the morning and read some newspapers of their era.

And now, just because of the short time, there are more than 20 elderly people who come here regularly. Some people play chess, some practice calligraphy, and some even bring a speaker to play songs from their era.

According to this pattern, Zhu Li feels that these uncles are mostly men, just like those aunties who dance in the square, they take the initiative to occupy the canteen's free time.

Even on May 1st, these old people are planning to organize a program. This makes the canteen manager Zhu Li helpless and can only report to Luo Cheng.

You have to know that these days, if you violate a woman's will, the law will teach you how to be a man. But for the elderly, hehe~~, many things have gone beyond the law. I just want to ask you one thing, are you afraid of violating a woman's will, or are you afraid that the elderly will fall in front of you.

The canteen is very large, after all, it is hundreds of square meters, but a spark can start a prairie fire. Zhu Li can feel that there are more and more elderly people coming to the canteen during their leisure time every other day. Aunties also come, just like there are always a few uncles mixed in the crowd of square dancers. The aunties who come here are few in number, but they are talented.

People say that they have to perform at the opening, so they come to perform, sing and recite, it's so emotional.

Anyway, before the opening, under Zhu Li's organization, the canteen hall has been lost, and she can only obey. It seems that she can only command the kitchen staff, because she doesn't need to take care of the hall anymore, really. The sanitation of the hall has been taken care of by the uncles and aunts.

Those who can come to the canteen to find nostalgia, in their group of people, when they were young, either they worked in the unit themselves or their parents worked in the unit. The workers of that era were conscious and their thoughts were correct and positive. So although there are only 20 to 30 elderly people occupying the canteen's free time, everything in the canteen is taken care of.

As for the canteen hall being occupied by some elderly people, Luo Cheng let them do whatever they want, because almost everyone who came bought meal tickets worth hundreds of yuan. Those people just regarded it as paying the venue fee. Anyway, every newcomer would take the initiative to find Zhu Li to buy meal tickets worth more than 100 yuan. It seems that if you don't buy or register your information, you will not have a sense of belonging.

Luo Cheng is now worried about the chicken restaurant. If the restaurant opens, the chickens he uses must be raised by himself. But other dishes need to be purchased separately. This is not a big deal, but Liu Xiaofei's cousin has confirmed that the person in charge of purchasing is Zhou Meng's younger brother Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen is also a fool. Not only did he join a work group, but he also joined the group because he saw a pretty girl in the group. Zhou Ruoyu immediately got him to tell her that he is Zhou Meng's younger brother.

The restaurant hasn't opened yet, and it's still like this. But it's a more realistic thing. On the other hand, if Luo Cheng doesn't have any industry and has the opportunity to partner with others, and the business is mainly managed by himself, he may take care of his relatives if he can.

And this procurement is not easy. If it's just a restaurant, the price and quality of the side dishes will definitely not be good. If you go to the market every day to buy, you have to get up very early. You can call to deliver the seasonings. But vegetables and meat, meat is not frozen, and the difference between picking it yourself and having it delivered is actually not small.

Fortunately, Luo Cheng now has experience in restaurant management, and Zhu Li has been the store manager of a fast food chain for many years. Chain store operators must have experience in handling procurement.

"Luo Cheng, you are really something. You can hook up with a woman while practicing driving. How come I didn't see that you are so fickle. Today I will go to the native chicken restaurant to see what that woman looks like."

"You, didn't I tell you clearly last night that we were the same group of students practicing driving? She is a college student. I have a cooperative relationship with her, but I didn't hook up with her."

"That woman hooked up with you. Why did you open a store with a woman when everything was fine? We don't need her 30% share money."

"This native chicken restaurant is The idea was proposed by others. We have so many shops now, can't I manage them myself? So I agreed to the idea of ​​partnership and tried to open a chicken restaurant together. "

"Hmph, do you have any problems? I will let Ruoyu keep an eye on you. If I really find any problems, I will take people to beat the mistress to death."

"Really, I won't go to the shop over there. The decoration is all done by people in our office."

Luo Cheng responded speechlessly. Some things are really hard for him to say. If he suspects Zhou Meng, Liu Xiaofei should suspect her cousin.

Because I promised to let Zhou Ruoyu come and stay for a few days, and when the chicken restaurant opens, they rented an old house similar to the village in the city, and they can arrange to live there.

But now it's a bit annoying. Zhou Ruoyu always comes to chat with Liu Xiaofei before going to bed, wearing slippers and pajamas. And they always lie on the bed and chat with Liu Xiaofei under the quilt, which will result in three people lying on one bed, although Liu Xiaofei lies in the middle. But it felt like she didn't treat Luo Cheng as an outsider. The main thing was that her pajamas were a bit loose, so it was easy for her to be exposed. Luo Cheng had accidentally seen something vaguely visible a few times.

Luo Cheng thought that he might have thought too much. At least Zhou Ruoyu lived here, and she didn't have the same thing as before. For example, she talked to him alone about some sensitive topics.

"Luo Cheng, let's go to my parents' place today. The matter with my second uncle is finally going to be resolved. It's really annoying. I don't know when I can get back the debt from him."

"Okay, your cousin and his wife have reconciled."

"After this kind of thing happened, I think it's a mystery. Why are you wearing clothes? Lie down for a while. We will leave at ten o'clock."

"I'm afraid your cousin will come to visit again."

"Hehe, what's wrong with your chest and abdominal muscles? It's normal to have so many muscles when you worked on the construction site before. We have been together for so long, and you haven't done heavy work, so why do you still have so many muscles?"

"You play mahjong every day and you are not with me. I often move things to exercise."

Luo Cheng explained that it was just some muscles. In his era, there were many people with muscles. It's just that he didn't eat well, so his body shape was a little worse. Er Gouzi, that guy, has been taken care of by Luo Cheng for more than half a year. Although the food he eats is not very nutritious, at least he is not hungry and his body shape has become stronger.

The matter with Liu Xiaofei's uncle has been settled. If they don't pay the fine, they can't avoid it. If they pay, their store will be investigated for short weight, which will have a great impact on business. In addition, the scale cannot be faked. The main thing is that they dare not fake it, and they think it's meaningless to continue operating.

But the two stores have invested a lot of equipment, and the rent was just paid not long ago this year. After all, Liu Xiaofei's uncle is a brother to his father. When they encounter such a situation that they will be detained after not paying the fine, Liu Xiaofei's father has to help deal with it.

The two stores, rent, and the goods they imported were all taken over by Liu Xiaofei's father. They plan to change the name of the sign and continue to operate. In the short term, they can't think of cheating on the scale. Liu Xiaofei's father also cheated, but at most he made a 9-liang scale, or even a 95-liang scale.

For selling seafood, thick plastic bags can be used to deal with it, and a little water can be added when weighing. Liu Xiaofei's father thought his brother had gone too far this time, using a scale of 7 liang, which means that apart from the plastic bag and some water, people might actually only be buying a pound of shrimp for more than half a pound.

Although not everything is sold at 7 liang, and those that don't need to be killed are not sold at that high a level, but if you sell shrimp at 8 liang, that's pretty high.

Liu Xiaofei was going to go with Luo Cheng today, but it was still an issue with the car. One was the car that was mortgaged with them. In addition, Uncle Liu Xiaofei and the others bought one or two second-hand seven-seater vans for the convenience of purchasing. This can only be handled by Liu Xiaofei and Luo Cheng.

The mortgaged car was transferred directly. Last time Liu Xiaofei gave them 50,000 yuan. If the ownership is transferred, Luo Cheng and the others can also apply for a loan, or they can directly repay Liu Qing's car loan and transfer the ownership directly.

This time I went to Liu Xiaofei's parents' house, mainly to give Luo Cheng the betrothal gift for marrying Liu Xiaofei in advance. The amount of the betrothal gift must have a sense of ceremony. How can a daughter directly give the betrothal gift money to her parents? Luo Cheng must give the betrothal gift money to her father-in-law and mother-in-law. Moreover, it would not be easy to issue a receipt if Liu Xiaofei gave her parents the gift money.

It's different when Luo goes out. It's normal for him to give a bride price and ask for a receipt. In the past few years, many wedding gifts were given in cash, and cash seemed a bit shocking. But just because of this, cheating often happens. In addition, the divorce rate is too high now, so many places require a receipt for betrothal gifts.

Once the bride price is given, Liu Xiaofei's parents will lend part of the money to her second uncle. As for the tens of thousands of yuan that Uncle Liu Xiaofei owes them, I am afraid that they will not be able to count on them in a short time.

If Liu Xiaofei's second uncle and his cousin's cars were collected, Luo Cheng would have a lot of cars belonging to him. He also plans to buy two more minivans in the next two days, one with a compartment in the back and one without. Now it seems I can only choose one of the two. There are too many cars and there is no need for so many.

Liu Xiaofei's cousin's car can be used as a business car for the office. In the future, if the finance department wants to pay cash wages to those people at the breeding base in the suburbs, just let them drive there by themselves.

Luo Cheng put on his shirt before lying down again, playing with his phone and checking information. In his own time, he planned to stay with Zhao Qian and the child for a while before going to another place. Before going there, Luo Chenghao tried his best to understand some of the situation in this city in the late 1950s.

In addition, it is time to start building bicycles. Get the bicycles out, and then everyone in the family will have one. Luo Cheng thought that he would just buy some ready-made round pipes from the steel market in the future. It was just a small amount of iron round pipes, and it was not something strictly controlled. If the quantity was not large, he could ask Director Sun to come forward and issue an invoice from the factory. The material is no problem at all.

When the car is built, it can also be stamped with the material certificate.
