Chapter 603 Hotpot News

So according to the folk rules of Sijiu City, the man should arrive first and arrange everything for the first meal between the in-laws.

After Han Li's family had breakfast and dressed up, they waited for the eldest sister and brother-in-law to arrive, and then set off with the cigarettes and alcohol they had prepared in advance.

Since D Laishun often receives leaders and foreign guests, it is a top-notch place in this era in terms of land area and decoration.

D Laishun not only has its own separate building, but also has a marble archway in front of the door. There are antique lamps hanging on both sides of the archway, which looks very historical from the outside.

D Laishun is the hall as soon as you enter the door. There are at least 18 or 19 tables and matching back chairs. This is for entertaining the general public, and the private rooms inside are not open to them.

No matter what era, there are rich and poor people. Not everyone can only get a salary of more than 20 yuan. They have to take care of a big family. Many people with high salaries also need a place to eat. There are also many people with jobs and status, and the most important are young people. They invite three or five friends, each of whom has a few dollars and some meat tickets, and can also come here to eat a comfortable meal of mutton hotpot, so the hall is prepared for these people.

Since it is not yet dinner time, the hall seems a bit empty.

Han Li first found the relevant person in charge of D Laishun, and after communication, he brought his family to the reserved private room.

When the time was about right, Han Li took his brother-in-law to the door to greet the Yun family.

This situation can be regarded as a change of feng shui. Now it is the same as when the brother-in-law invited Han Li to dinner for the first time.

Today, the Yun family is also out, and even Yun Chengpeng from the Pinggu District Youth Farm has rushed back.

After a polite conversation, Han Li led the Yun family to the private room. The two families met for the first time and were all polite.

The advantage of the private room is that you don't have to go out to look at the menu and order food. After everyone arrived, Han Li greeted them, and then a waiter with a cold face came over with a teapot, teacup, and menu.

Even if the waiter had a cold face and spoke stiffly, this treatment was countless times better than those people in the hall.

At this time, those who like to eat fat can order big Sanchaer, those who like to eat thin can eat cucumber strips, and those who like to eat half fat and half thin can eat small Sancha. In addition, add some seasonal vegetables and soda drinks for women to make it complete.

However, when the waiter went out, Han Li chased him and asked him to double all the meat he had just ordered.

(I won't say much about the words such as mutton on a dry plate, standing plate without falling, thin as paper, even as crystal, neat as thread, beautiful as a flower, cooked in one dip, fragrant and tender, not smelly or greasy. I believe that you know more details than Mao Sui. Let's look at something different today.)

Both parents have lived in the city for many years, so they have common topics, but the conversation between Han's father and Yun's father also gave Han Li a lot of knowledge.

They first talked about the scene of eating mutton here in the 1950s. At that time, you had to queue up to eat at D Lai Shun.

Because there are many people and few tables in every restaurant, you don't know when you will finish your meal.

So at that time, if the elders wanted to come here for a feast, they had to come with at least two people. Someone would queue up to open the bill and pay, and someone would grab a table next to them. Only in this way could they eat mutton hotpot the fastest.

But you can't feel safe when eating. You feel a strong sense of urgency because there are many people around your table watching you. They will quickly grab a seat the moment you leave the chair, just like when you grab a seat yourself.

Later, D Lai Shun modified the copper pot to accommodate more customers at mealtime.

The pot for shabu-shabu is still the copper charcoal hot pot, but they divide it into small grids. One copper pot can accommodate several customers at the same time. No one knows each other at a table, and everyone shabu-shabu in their own small grid.

At that time, this pot also had a very loud name called "G and pot", but this pot was forced to be eliminated not long after.

Because the partition under this pot is not completely sealed, food will leak from the gap under the bottom to the next door. Some people later found out the trick and ran to D Lai Shun every day to get a bargain.

These people were able to skillfully use chopsticks to take meat from other people's grids. When they came, they only ordered vegetarian dishes and tofu, and then specifically looked for those who ordered more meat to share a copper pot, and took advantage of other people's grids.

Later, because of this kind of thing, there were many fights in the hall of D Laishun, and finally there was no choice but to change the copper pot back.

Han Li thought that the matter was over when he heard this, but Han's father and Yun's father did not stop talking about D Laishun.

The thing is, whether it is private or public-private partnership, they will not sit idly by and watch the money go unearned.

After D Laishun was forced to withdraw from "G He Guo", there was a year when it was the season for eating mutton, but there were no customers here, and even many bad rumors were spread.

After an investigation by the superiors, it was finally traced back to the person in charge at the time. At that time, he forced D Laishun to sell mutton at the same price as the market, saying that this was called protecting the interests of the people.

However, there were too many customers at D Lai Shun, and the person in charge was unwilling to increase the staff. In order to supply the customers, the original 60 slices per pound were reduced to 30 slices, which was twice as thick. This made the mutton that was originally ready to eat with a little shabu-shabu hard to bite.

From that day on, the customer base began to decrease, but the person in charge did not want to look too bad on the books, so he changed the original small-tailed sheep to goats and sheep to stabilize the profit, and finally even used old sheep and frozen mutton. It is hard to say if the people in Sijiucheng eat other things, but the mutton that they almost have to eat after the beginning of autumn every year is almost tasted good or not, so all the customers stopped coming after the taste deteriorated.

When the police reported the results of the investigation to the top, the top immediately gave instructions.

"This is a problem. We must ensure that the mutton must continue to be delicious and the roast duck must be more delicious, so as to prove the superiority of SHZY's superiority."

After that day, the shabu-shabu mutton at D Lai Shun returned to its original state.

While Han's father and Yun's father were chatting, Han's mother and Yun's mother were not idle either, but they mostly talked about trivial matters and the situation of Han Li and Yun Yingying.

Han Li listened to the adults telling stories while persuading his elder brother-in-law to drink. When Yun's father was dizzy, his elder brother-in-law Yun Chengpeng had already reached his limit.

In short, this was a relatively harmonious gathering, and in the end, the matter between Han Li and Yun Yingying was completely settled.

Yun's father and Yun's mother considered that their current position was not good and the conditions at home were not good, and they could not afford a decent dowry for their daughter, but they did not want their daughter to be too depressed when she got married, so they proposed it a little embarrassedly.

Han Li has not returned to the city yet, so for the time being, let them live like this for the time being, whatever they did before, Yingying can live there after get off work, and tell the truth if someone asks, the two of them had already married when they were in Shanghe Village.

After Han Li returns to the city to work, both parties will notify relatives and friends to hold a formal wedding.

When Yun's father and mother made this proposal, they were a little embarrassed. Unexpectedly, Han's father and mother agreed to it immediately.

Because Yun Yingying had told Han Li about their proposal a long time ago. Although he didn't care about the dowry of the Yun family, he couldn't help but let go of his face. Besides, this matter was not a big deal, so he should sleep anyway.

Han Li then told his parents about this matter, which led to the scene of their straightforward agreement just now.

.

In the next few days, the Yun sisters went directly through Beihai to Mianhua Hutong after get off work.

Han Li's recent life is so comfortable that he lies down directly after practicing boxing every morning.

He doesn't have to do anything at home. Except for going out to drink and chat with neighbors, he mostly reads books, practices calligraphy, and plays with pets at home.

But this morning, Han Li was playing with crows in the yard. There was a sound of a car in the alley, and then Gong Jianglong's voice came from outside the street gate.

"Brother Han, are you home?"

"Yes, Brother Gong, why are you here?"

"Old Liu asked you to go over."

"Are you going now?"

"Brother Han, if you have nothing to do, go now. A few comrades came to Old Liu's place today. I think this may be the reason why Old Liu asked you to go over."

"Comrades? Why should I go over there? Forget it, let's talk while walking."

Gong Jianglong helped Han Li load the bicycle into the jeep, started the car and drove the two people to the west. However, Gong Jianglong couldn't tell why he asked him to go over there. He only knew that Old Liu had seen him in good physical and mental health in the past few days.

When Gong Jianglong said this, Han Li's heart jumped suddenly. Could it be that Old Liu knew about the powerful pill?

However, Han Li immediately threw away this unreliable idea. He fed the powerful pill through the air. Except for martial artists like his master who were more sensitive to body perception, others could not detect a little more in the stomach.

There was no good medical equipment for perspective in this era, so Han Li's worry just now was unnecessary.

But Han Li was confused again. If it wasn't about the powerful pill, why did Old Liu call him over for no apparent reason?

The jeep took Han Li all the way to the yard. Old Liu was in the backyard playing with the lark with two people of similar age.
