Due to the demolition in the early years, Fatty Li's restaurant was no longer in its original location, but it was still near Beijing University. Because he was reluctant to rent a good storefront, he opened it at a small intersection.
It was said to be a restaurant, but in fact, there were only six tables inside. There was a braised dish table at the door with a glass cover on it. It was full of pig head meat, chicken and duck, as well as some small intestines and peanuts.
When it was close to the meal time, Fatty Li sat against the wall with his eyes closed. He waved the fly swatter in his hand out of boredom, swatting it occasionally.
"Hey, boss, get up and work." Li He stepped forward and kicked him. "Why are you slacking off."
"Motherf * cker …" Fatty Li stood up and was about to scold. When he found out that it was Li He and his wife, he immediately smiled and said, "Yo, you two."
He Fang said, "Did your boss make money? It's time for business, and he is sleeping here?"
When they were in school, they often had dinner at Fatty Li's restaurant, so even if Li He didn't come frequently, she was no stranger to Fatty Li.
"Look at what you're saying." Fatty Li sighed and pointed to the sparse pedestrians. "Do you see anyone nearby? What money do you want to make? If this goes on, you will have to beg for food. "
Li He said, "Don't talk nonsense with me. How much is it worth to demolish three suites in your family? Why are you still complaining about being poor here? "
Fatty Li said with a sad face, "The two of us, each of us should have a suite, right? The two of us and my mother live in a suite, and we can't sell it. We still have to earn money to eat.
It's not fun to live like this. It's dozens of square meters, and there's not even a place to walk. It's definitely not comparable to your Xishan villa. "
He Fang said, "There are many houses in the countryside. If you want to live in the countryside, how much area you want, isn't it up to you? Why don't you sell this house, and I will ask around Xishan for you? "
"Don't." Fatty Li shook his head like a rattle and smiled. "I still have to do business. It's not good to live far away."
"Then don't be so jealous. You effortlessly got three suites. I can't even be envious." Li He then asked curiously, "Your location is not bad. The school is in front of you, and the residential area is behind you. Why can't your business pick up?"
He then opened the glass cover and picked up a piece of pork, dipped it in chili oil and vinegar, put it in his mouth, and chewed on it. "The taste is still as good as ever."
"Hehe, it's not bad, right? My culinary skills are unparalleled. If I don't have this much confidence, why would I open a restaurant?" After Fatty Li was praised, he was proud, but then he said with a sullen face, "Poor students can't afford it, and now there is no subsidy. Parents probably only have so little money a month. It may not even be enough to eat in the school cafeteria. How can they have extra money to buy my braised meat?" Fatty Li took out a cigarette from his dirty pocket and handed one to Li He. He then said, "Let's talk about these nearby neighbors. Now they are laid off, and they don't have jobs. Their lives are very tight. As long as they live, they are reluctant to buy."
Li He nodded, "That's true."
"Fatty, hurry up and cut some for us." He Fang found that Fatty's cigarette ash was on the chopping board, and she sighed. "Brush the chopping board."
"It's clean." Fatty Li wiped the chopping board with a rag, took out a pig's head, and cut it for Li He according to the last position, and then cut it into slices.
While cutting the meat, he did not forget to spit on the ground.
A middle-aged man wearing glasses rode a bicycle and stopped with his feet on the ground.
Fatty Li hurriedly took out the cigarette and said, "Teacher Wu, what do you want to eat today?"
"No, no." The middle-aged man hurriedly waved his hand. "I'm just telling you. In the future, the weather is getting hotter. I bought it last night, and I found that it tasted bad. You are busy every day, so you may not have noticed it. I'm just letting you know."
Fatty Li said with a smile, "Yo, sorry, I really didn't notice it."
The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly and left.
"This scholar has a lot of things to do. Isn't it normal for the weather to smell a little bad?" Fatty Li suddenly finished speaking and found that Li He and his wife were still there, so he hurriedly explained, "There are not many people who study and don't study, but there are not many people who are as straightforward as you two."
Li He urged, "Hurry up."
Fatty Li asked, "I heard that your brother-in-law, He Long, opened another restaurant?"
Li He said, "Yes, Yang Xie Zi."
Fatty Li spat again and sighed. "This person's luck is really different."
He Fang's frown became deeper and deeper. After paying the money, she pulled Li He away.
After getting in the car, she said, "It would be strange if he could do business like this."
Li He said, "He still thinks that it's ten years ago, and he can do whatever he wants. Now, with his temper and his way of doing business, who would care about him?
He's not the only one running a restaurant. He's going backwards. "
He also felt pity for Fatty Li. This was the first batch of ten thousand yuan households. He had already completed his capital accumulation in the early eighties. If he was smart enough, he would definitely be worth millions.
When they got home, the old lady's meal was already served. Seeing that her daughter and son-in-law had returned, she directly brought it to the table.
"Daughter, what's wrong?" She found that Li Yan's eyes were red and swollen.
"Auntie is fine." Li Yan helped Li He open the beer.
The old lady said, "It's fine as long as you know what to do. You can't be angry or force a relationship. It's fine as long as it's about right."
She pointed at He Fang and said, "When I went on a blind date with her father, her father thought that he was educated and didn't want to be with a blind person like me. He stubbornly refused to be with me.
When I was young, those who were willing to be with me could form a strong company. "
"Mom, you can't brag like that." He Fang couldn't help but laugh.
Li Yan looked at He Fang and said with a smile, "Just look at me and you'll know."
The old lady said, "He's the son of a landlord. No one dares to marry him. My parents passed away early, so I don't have any scruples.
I'm willing to marry him, but he doesn't like it.
I like him so much that I have to go around in circles and pass by his house every day. "
Li Yan asked, "Was Uncle very handsome when he was young?"
"Handsome my a * s. He's carved from the same mold as our family." The old lady smiled and said, "But our family isn't as refined as his father. His father is a cultured person. He likes to read books when he's free and doesn't pay attention to anyone."
At the mention of her husband, she smiled so widely that she couldn't open her eyes. She looked happy.
"It's a pity that he got lung disease. At that time, he couldn't be cured even if he wanted to. He could only watch helplessly as he passed away. It's all fate."
"Why are you mentioning this again?" He Fang saw that her mother was about to cry and quickly comforted her. "Okay, you drink some wine too?"
