"I think this is not too much at all. Look, I gave Su Meng to you, so will I have no partner?"
"We have to find another one!"
"Do you remember Cai Xiaoli, who jumped in line with us? I plan to ask her to go to Quanjude to have a good time together."
Li Jie randomly found a tool man to come out and give it a head. Of course, he wanted the money not to eat Quanjude roast duck, but to use it as start-up capital.
Going to the countryside to collect eggs also costs money. The key point is that this behavior is now considered a 'speculation', and we must not let our family know about it.
Asking for money from home will never work.
Of course, Li Jie had other ways to earn this money, but those ways were obviously not as fast as "begging" from Cheng Jianjun.
Why not take a shortcut if there is a shortcut? Moreover, he felt at ease when he cheated Cheng Jianjun, and Li Jie didn't feel any guilt at all.
This money was regarded as a small punishment for him.
‘Cai Xiaoli?’
When Li Jie mentioned this name, Cheng Jianjun immediately remembered who this person was. She and the original owner were in the same production team when they jumped in line. He was not far from the original owner at the time, so he naturally knew her.
Cheng Jianjun raised his head and looked carefully at the unfamiliar man in front of him.
'Is it true?'
‘He and Cai Xiaoli?’
At first glance, it seemed possible. Cheng Jianjun remembered clearly that this girl followed the original owner all day long and seemed to have some interest in the original owner.
Although Cheng Jianjun didn't want to admit it, he was still a little bit worried in his heart. Su Meng did like 'Han Chunming' more, and he didn't have the advantage.
Love is such an unreasonable thing, there is no first come, first served, and victory is not guaranteed if the conditions are good.
If the other party really got along with Cai Xiaoli, it would mean losing a strong competitor. Cheng Jianjun was happy from the bottom of his heart, but it still hurt a little to be knocked off by the other party like this.
It's only a dozen yuan, and he doesn't have that much on hand.
'No, I have to find a way to pay less!'
"You didn't lie to me?"
Li Jie said resolutely: "Of course not!"
Cheng Jianjun pondered for a moment and then said: "Okay! I can pay this money, but I don't have that much money. Can I change it to another place? For example, Donglaishun?"
Donglaishun's hot-boiled mutton, Quanjude's roast duck, Fengzeyuan's Shandong cuisine, and Fangshan Restaurant's palace cuisine. These four restaurants are collectively known as the four major restaurants in Sijiu City, among which Donglaishun and Quanjude are the most popular.
Compared with Quanjude, the consumption in Donglaishun is a little lower, with a pound of mutton costing 28 cents. Even if two people only eat mutton, four pounds of mutton can satisfy them.
The total of four pounds of mutton is just over 5 yuan, which is equivalent to the price of half a roast duck.
No matter how you calculate it, it is more cost-effective to go to Donglaishun for a meal, and the reputation of Donglaishun is not worse than that of Quanjude, so it is very popular.
Donglaishun's food selection standards are very strict, only using small tail sheep of 35 to 42 pounds. The meat of this kind of sheep is very tender. Other goats, old sheep, and frozen mutton are all unqualified.
A pound of mutton is cut into about 80 slices by the skilled chefs of Dong Laishun. The slices of meat are as thin as paper, as soft as cotton, fat but not greasy, thin but not woody. It is cooked as soon as it is rinsed and will not grow old after being rinsed for a long time.
Cooking mutton in Donglaishun is definitely a pleasure.
In 1956, Donglaishun lowered its prices due to a public-private partnership, which damaged its taste. This incident even alarmed the central government.
Taizu personally gave instructions on this matter, and also wrote a letter, "Wang Mazi, Dong Lai Shun, Quan Ju De, must be preserved forever."
Therefore, in terms of style, Donglaishun is not inferior to Quanjude at all.
"Dong Lai Shun?" Li Jie muttered in a low voice, deliberately making a hesitant expression on his face. After struggling for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay. Although Dong Lai Shun is not so good, who made us good friends?
Just go to Dong Lai Shun!”
'Haha, okay!'
'This is the Han Chunming I know!'
Cheng Jianjun was secretly happy when he saw this. He just said this casually and saved half of the money. Although he didn't have that much money on hand, if the other party insisted on going to Quanjude, he wouldn't mind asking his parents for some money.
"OK!"
Cheng Jianjun agreed while taking out a stack of money from his trouser pocket. They were red and green, including two yuan for "turner", one yuan for "tractor" and fifty cents for "textile factory". There were also one and two cents.
, five cents change.
'This guy is really rich.'
Li Jie took a casual look and estimated that there were at least eight or nine pieces here. There were three dark green "turner" pieces, one for one piece, and the rest were all fifty cents and several cents cents.
In such a comparison, the original owner is really poor.
It's normal if you think about it carefully. After all, Cheng Jianjun is the only child in the Cheng family, and his parents are both working, with a monthly salary of more than 70 yuan.
As for the original owner, there are five brothers and sisters in the family. In order to take advantage of the second sister's job, Han's mother even applied for a refund in advance to make room for the second sister. Without a job, Han's mother has no income, and her daily expenses are temporarily supported by her four working children.
.
Therefore, although the Han family has no shortage of food and clothing, it is impossible for the original owner to ask for pocket money. Moreover, the original owner is a very filial person and is too embarrassed to ask for it.
Even though Cheng Jianjun had a lot of money in his pocket, he was usually a very stingy person. Seeing him counting them, Li Jie must have been thinking of giving less, so he grabbed the money directly.
"Okay, that's all!"
Just now, Cheng Jianjun was preoccupied with thinking about how to deduct a few dollars, but it didn't matter, all the money was taken away, and he suddenly became anxious.
"Oh! Wait, there are nearly ten yuan in it. Sixty-seven yuan is definitely enough for you to go to Dongyangshun for a meal. You have to leave two yuan for me!"
"Okay! Okay! Okay! I'll leave some for you!"
Li Jie nodded with a smile, took out one piece worth one piece, one piece worth 50 cents and two pieces worth 10 cents and handed them to Cheng Jianjun.
"Okay, that's enough! It won't be enough for you and me to eat. For two people, we need to eat at least three or four kilograms of mutton and order two side dishes. It will definitely cost you eight yuan."
Cheng Jianjun took the banknote and held it tightly in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the banknote in Li Jie's hand, his eyes rolling, as if he wanted to get some more.
"Okay, man, don't be so stingy." Li Jie laughed and patted his shoulder: "I promise, I will never compete with you for Su Meng. Not only that, when I see her in the future, I will directly
Take a detour!”
Although Cheng Jianjun was worried about money, Li Jie's guarantee was undoubtedly very tempting to him.
"Really? You promise?"
"Yeah, yeah, I promise!"
Cheng Jianjun was still a little uneasy, and said half generously and half threatening: "Okay, let me tell you, if you regret it, I will definitely tell Su Meng about it!"
Li Jie patted his chest and said, "Okay, whatever you want!"
