Reborn in the 70s, doing whatever it takes to make money

"You guys come over and eat together."

Secretary Ye's invitation made Xu Qing and the three of them stunned.

Xu Qing pointed to her nose and confirmed, "Are you calling us?"

In addition to Secretary Ye and them, the guests in the hotel also had two or three other tables of guests, so Xu Qing was not sure whether Secretary Ye was calling them.

And why should we invite them to dinner together if they are not relatives?

"Yes, it's you."

Secretary Ye nodded.

Xu Qing was not overjoyed, but asked calmly: "Why?"

"I can't eat so much food by myself and I don't want to waste it. Is this reason enough?"

Secretary Ye picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and then spoke slowly.

"You are right, waste is shameful, so thank you for your hospitality."

Xu Qing was not polite and stood up directly, "Second brother, third brother, someone invited us to dinner. Let's go and eat something delicious."

Xu Jiandang and Xu Jianye were shocked when they saw that Xu Qing really agreed and asked them to go with them. They didn't dare to eat this kind of food. It was too, too, too luxurious.

Chicken, duck, fish, meat and vegetables, vegetables and soup, everything is available. In the old society, the landlords probably didn’t eat this well during the New Year.

Besides.

That Secretary Ye had to grovel even to the manager of a state-owned hotel. Needless to say, he must be a big shot, bigger than the captain. Sitting at the same table with such a big shot to eat, they were scared just thinking about it.

"Little, little, little sister..."

The second brother, Xu Jianye, stuttered nervously and couldn't even speak a complete sentence.

Third brother Xu Jiandang also said quickly: "Little sister, let's not eat anymore. It's getting late, so go back quickly."

Seeing how cowardly her two brothers were, Xu Qing had the urge to cover her face, but she also knew that she couldn't blame them. If it were the other villagers in Hongqi Village, about [-]% of them would be the same as the second and third brothers.

Xu Qing whispered: "We are all human beings, but the division of labor is different. Don't say he is just a secretary, he is the county magistrate or mayor. We don't have to be afraid of him. If he doesn't do anything bad, he won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on his door."

Trying to use such words to eliminate the tension between Xu Jiandang and Xu Jianye.

After saying that, Xu Qing didn't care whether Xu Jianye and Xu Jiandang agreed or not, she pulled the two of them over and sat down.

Secretary Ye looked at Xu Qing who was sitting down and suddenly said, "Which village are you from?"

He guessed from the clothes of Xu Qing and the others that they must be from the countryside, so he directly asked Xu Qing and the others which village they were from.

"Xinzhuang Commune, Hongqi Village."

Xu Qing said truthfully.

Secretary Ye wrote it down secretly, and then said, "You are different from other girls."

Xu Qing paused while holding the chopsticks, "What's the difference?"

Secretary Ye said, "I can't tell you what's different."

Xu Qing curled her lips and picked up a piece of attractive braised pork without ceremony.

The braised pork is cooked very well. When you pick it up with chopsticks, the fat part becomes soft and rotten. When you put it in your mouth, it melts in your mouth. The meat is fragrant. I don’t know if it is an illusion. Xu Qing feels that the pork of this era is more fragrant than the pork of later generations. More delicious.

After eating a piece of braised pork, Xu Qing showed a look of satisfaction on her face.

In this era, she has only eaten meat for a while, and that time she didn't eat a few pieces. This is the second time. The happiness of eating meat is something that future generations will not be able to experience.

"Gudu~"

The second brother Xu Jianye swallowed uncontrollably.

Although Xu Jianye and Xu Jiandang were pulled to sit down by Xu Qing, they looked like primary school students sitting at the same table with their class teacher. They were very reserved and did not dare to pick up food with their chopsticks.

Xu Qing sighed tiredly and gave Xu Jianye and Xu Jiandang a piece of braised pork.

"Second brother, third brother, eat quickly."

Xu Qing urged.

It’s hard to eat something good once, so why don’t you seize this opportunity to eat more.

There is no shop like this in this village.

I don’t know when I will eat meat next time.

Secretary Ye also noticed the embarrassment of Xu Jianye and Xu Jiandang, and said with a smile: "Brothers, please relax and eat. Don't be nervous."

Secretary Ye spoke, and Xu Jianye and Xu Jiandang finally raised their chopsticks, picked up the meat in the bowl, took a bite, and almost hummed with happiness.

"Second brother, third brother, this chicken is not bad, come on, try it."

Xu Qing let go of her hands and feet to enjoy the meal.

soon.

She tasted everything on the table.

Xu Qing picked up another piece of braised pork, put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully, then swallowed it, picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, looked up at Secretary Ye and said, "Why don't you eat it?"

"I'm stuffed."

Secretary Ye put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth and said.

"Oh~"

Xu Qing said oh, and then started eating again.

After ten minutes.

Xu Qing burped, lay back, leaned on the back of the chair, and touched her swollen belly.

Can't eat anymore.

Xu Jianshe and Xu Jiandang were also full. They each ate three bowls of rice, but they didn't eat much food. Xu Qing often put vegetables in their bowls.

"I'm full, but there's still a lot of food left. What a pity."

Xu Qing looked at the food on the table and said with regret, then looked at Secretary Ye and asked, "What are you going to do with these unfinished meals?"

Secretary Ye was stunned and asked, "How do you think we should handle it?"

Xu Qing said matter-of-factly: "Pack it up and take it away."

"Take away?"

Secretary Ye looked surprised.

"That's right. If you can't finish eating, you must take it away. Is there any problem?"

Xu Qing's accustomed tone.

In later generations, it is normal to take away unfinished meals. Under normal circumstances, waiters in restaurants will take the initiative to pack up food for guests when they see that there are many dishes left on the table.

But in this era, when people eat in state-owned restaurants, there are really not many customers who take back unfinished meals, because people who eat in state-owned restaurants are more or less interested in saving face, and there are rarely any leftovers. Leftovers situation.

Secretary Ye got up and walked slowly upstairs. After a few minutes, he came downstairs with two stainless steel lunch boxes in his hands.

Secretary Ye came to the table and poured all the uneaten chicken, duck, and fish into the lunch boxes. Both lunch boxes were full.

The lunch boxes were stacked together, and Secretary Ye pushed forward, pushing them in front of Xu Qing.

Xu Qing looked stunned, "What do you mean?"

Secretary Ye said: "It's for you."

Xu Qing said in surprise: "Give it to me?"

Secretary Ye nodded, "Yes, I don't have the habit of bringing leftovers back, but these meals can't be wasted, so I have to trouble you to take them back."

After speaking, Secretary Ye walked out without looking back.

After Xu Qing came to her senses, she chased out of the state-owned hotel with two lunch boxes containing food, and shouted at Secretary Ye's back: "What about these two lunch boxes? How can I return them to you?"

"You can pay it back whenever you want. When the time comes, just come to the county government and ask Ye Chen."

Secretary Ye waved his hand without looking back, and the voice came over.
