Siheyuan: A Cook in the 60s

Lou Xiao'e got off the motorcycle.

Cao Wei stopped the car.

By chance, I met Xu Damao who was going out.

Xu Damao was stunned for a moment: "Why are you here?"

"I live here, in the same house."

"Good fellow, Cao Wei is really a good person." Xu Damao sighed, shook his head, and said nothing more: "Let's talk later, I have something else to do."

He had no intention of showing off to Lou Xiao'e.

He can show off to anyone, but the Cao family and Lou Xiao'e are definitely not the ones he can show off to.

The level of these two people is not something he can challenge, and he knows that well.

"I just met Xu Damao."

"Oh? What is he doing here?"

"I don't know, but he seems to have become rich. The clothes he wears are not cheap."

"Market economy~"

If we change to a market economy, more people will become wealthy in the future.

Liu Lan's home.

Liu Lan's two sons and two daughters-in-law were sitting in the living room.

We are discussing something.

"If you ask me, let's just buy one floor." The eldest daughter-in-law suggested: "One with three bedrooms and two living rooms, and one with three bedrooms and one living room. When the time comes, you can live wherever you want, Mom."

"Then I want a house with three bedrooms and two living rooms." The second daughter-in-law said first.

"That won't work. I have a big family, and the eldest has to take care of mom, so we need a house with two living rooms."

Liu Lan glared at her two good-for-nothing sons, who were so honest and didn't even know how to fight for it.

"Okay, okay, it's just this little bit. I'm not yet unable to move. I can buy a two-bedroom apartment with three bedrooms, either on the upper or lower floors. It won't be a big problem." Liu Lan finally made the decision.

She was also a little helpless. It would have been fine if she hadn't gotten married, but after getting married, her son and daughter-in-law would always have problems with some distribution issues.

She wondered whether she should learn from Cao Wei.

After Liu Lan said this, the two daughters-in-law fell silent.

The main thing is that Liu Lan earns the most in this family, and they were arranged to live in Samadhi Tower by Liu Lan.

Actually, it can't be said to be an arrangement. It's just that the Sanmei Building is going to recruit workers, and the internal employees must have known in advance. So she asked the two daughters-in-law to sign up, and the two sons were also thrown into the kitchen by her to learn the skills. Now they can barely run the three stoves, and their daily life can be considered enjoyable.

"Now let's talk about the second item, those who opened restaurants."

"Mom, are you planning to leave?!" The second daughter-in-law's eyes lit up. Samadhi Tower was good, but the rules were too strict. Sometimes if you were lazy or did not do your job well, you would be fined. Samadhi Tower did not fine you, but only deducted points. If you deducted a certain number of points, you would be dismissed. In the past few years, Samadhi Tower had dismissed people before. Therefore, everyone worked very carefully, for fear that they would not do well.

If Liu Lan was willing to go out and work, they could follow her and suffer less.

"I don't plan to leave, but I plan to invest. I told you two in advance that I plan to invest. I have no control over whether you invest or not. Don't let me make money later and you still say I didn't warn you."

"That's impossible, Mom." The eldest son said quickly, "You go in, and we'll go in too."

"Yes, yes, yes, we'll join in too." The eldest daughter-in-law also quickly expressed her opinion.

"Yes, yes, yes. In, in, in."

Sun Jiacheng's home.

Sun Jiacheng was one of the first batch to enter the Samadhi Tower. From the moment he entered, he was rated as a master chef, and his skills have improved slightly over the years. Cao Wei's words made him feel a little moved.

"Wife, how do you feel about what Master Cao said today?"

Sun Jiacheng did a good job in Samadhi Tower, and Zhang Cuicui was also capable, so Sun Jiacheng brought Zhang Cuicui into Samadhi Tower.

"Okay, okay. Do you want to go out and work?" Zhang Cuicui saw what her man was thinking at a glance.

"Well, I want to go to the south and try it." Sun Jiacheng said a little shyly.

It has been a while since he came out. Back then, he was alone and had no ties. He came to the north to learn skills from a master. Now, he has achieved some success and is thinking about returning to his hometown.

"South?!" Zhang Cuicui was shocked. "Why are you going to the south when everything is fine? Also, does Mr. Cao have any plans to go to the south?"

"I... I don't know." Sun Jiacheng hesitated. "In theory, our treatment is good enough. I have no interest in going out to work on my own, but if I can open a store in my hometown, I want to try it. But, wife, are you willing to go back with me? If you don't want to, then forget it. It's good to stay in the city."

Zhang Cuicui also hesitated. She had never been out of Beijing.

There are not many elderly people in the family. There are only children, and they have all started their own families.

Because of this, Sun Jiacheng and Zhang Cuicui were a little confused. If they really went to the south, what would they do with their home here?

"How about we ask our son to come over and have a chat? Let me tell you first, I support you. If you want to go, let's go. It's no big deal!" Zhang Cuicui is a Beijing girl. She is straightforward and does what she says. Thinking of this, she put on her clothes and went.

"Hey, why are you going?"

"Go find your son."

"No, is it that urgent?"

"Hey, stop dawdling. By the time you stop dawdling, you won't be able to get anything done!"

"Then... that's fine."

----

Cao Leyao walked into Wei Wei's office with full confidence.

Then he came out with a confused look on his face.

"Uncle Wei!"

"Here you go, sit down."

Wei Wei put down the work at hand and looked at Cao Leyao: "The little kid back then has grown into a graceful young lady."

"Uncle Wei, I'm here to work."

"Yeah, you're very impetuous, just like your mother. Okay, let's cut the crap and get straight to the point. Do you know the purchasing process of a normal restaurant?"

"Ah? Isn't it a unified arrangement from above?"

Background summary: At present, we are still in the stage of using tickets. Some parts have been liberalized, but most of them are still in the unified purchase and sales mode, and this is especially true for the food court. It is arranged by the top.

"That's what they say, but it's not the case in practice." Wei Wei shook his head. "When this street was first opened, it was arranged in a unified way. After about two years, all kinds of troubles began to arise, such as the vegetables delivered were not fresh, they were late, and so on and so forth."

"Ah? How did you solve that?"

"There's no way to solve it." Wei Wei shook his head. "They can always find a reason. We have no problem. On the one hand, I have acquaintances there, and on the other hand, Samadhi House has also made a lot of arrangements. This is also the reason why your father plans to start his own farm."

"We are all like this, what about others?" Cao Leyao found it incredible.

"Others? There are still benefits to liberalizing the economy. Either we find a village and buy from it for a long time, and then we can issue invoices on this street, or..."
