Chapter 306: Breakfast stall that doesn't require food coupons
When He Jianguo said he wanted to give the chocolate to Bang Geng, He Yuzhu didn't say anything.
After all, this is how the common people in Beiping teach their children.

He couldn't teach He Jianguo a bad lesson just because the Jia family was on the other side. There was no need for that and the cost was a bit high.

"Okay, go ahead!"

Watching He Jianguo trotting all the way to Lao Jia's house next door, He Yuzhu picked up the thermos on the ground and poured himself a bowl of boiled water. While drinking it, he started talking to He Yushui and the others.

Not long after, He Daqing and his wife lifted the door curtain and walked in.

"Zhu Zi, I just made an agreement with your uncle Zhang. The total cost is 50 yuan. All materials and other things will be entrusted to him. The renovation will start next Sunday and the construction period will be one month.

What do you think? "

He Yuzhu thought that if he could restore the entire east wing completely for 50, it would be a good deal.
After asking for some details, he nodded in agreement.

"become!

We all have to go to work, rain and green mountains are of no use, so let it be!
I will squeeze into the side room on the Qingshan side for the next few days, and let the rain stay in the front yard until the renovation is completed."

"Alright, let's do this for now."

As he spoke, He Daqing took out a stack of money and handed it to He Yuzhu.
"This is the money that Lao Yi and Lao Liu have contributed, as well as the budget that our family has prepared for the banquet.
Go buy the vegetables tomorrow morning and prepare everything you can in advance, and we can cook together when I get home from get off work."

"Okay, just make eight bowls, no big deal."

When He Daqing and his wife were cooking at home, they heard a cry from the backyard, and then He Daqing frowned.

"This old Liu is beating his kids at home again. What a sin."

After He Daqing finished speaking, he heard the White Widow say,
"I think Liu Guangqi deserves to be beaten up. He actually wants to go swimming in winter in such a cold weather. I don't know what's going on in his head."

"fart!

If only he had brains,

Look at him, he's obviously brainless, just let him freeze to death to save food."

From what He Daqing and Bai Guafu said, it seemed that Liu Guangqi was being beaten by Liu Haizhong.

This is somewhat different from what He Yuzhu had in mind.
So I asked out of curiosity,

"Dad, Aunt Bai, I know that Second Uncle has a bad temper and likes to beat people, but isn't Liu Guangqi the baby of their family? Why does he have to be beaten too?"

"What happened to my dear?
Isn’t he also a son? Even if he doesn’t give up, he will still be beaten!
Think about what Liu Guangqi did today?

He is just talking now.

If I go to Shichahai for a winter swim without telling you one day, I'm afraid he'll be frozen into an old popsicle by the time I find him among my bangs.

If he doesn't get beaten up even after this, then Lao Liu must be really crazy."

The father and son were talking when they saw through the window Liu Guangqi running quickly from the backyard, and in the blink of an eye he jumped from the hanging flower gate to the front yard.

Then I saw Liu Haizhong, who had become a little fat, following behind, panting, holding a stick.
While running, he shouted loudly,
"Liu Guangqi, you little bastard, you can run away but you can't. If you have the guts, don't come back, or I will beat you to death sooner or later."

As the Liu family father and son disappeared into the middle courtyard,

After a while, He Yuzhu heard Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui in the front yard talking, and then saw He Daqing shaking his head speechlessly, but did not say anything, obviously he was used to it.

Early in the morning of the second day,

Before dawn, He Yuzhu had already opened his eyes.
Just when I was wondering why the horn hadn't been blown yet, I remembered that I had already retired and returned home.

I originally wanted to close my eyes and continue sleeping for a while, but in the end I found that I couldn’t fall asleep at all, so I had to get up from the bed.

I opened the door of the side room and found that the doors of all the houses were closed and no one had gotten up yet.

He also knows that now is different from before.
Now the unified purchase and sale system means that each household has only a small amount of food rations, which is not enough to eat.

Therefore, most urban residents choose to eat breakfast outside, because foods such as wontons, pastries, and rice balls can be purchased without food coupons.

Thinking that I have never seen the morning market in Peking,
With nothing to do, He Yuzhu opened the gate of the courtyard and came to Nanluoguxiang alone.

Although Nanluoguxiang was not crowded at this time, it was gradually becoming lively.

Many shops along the street have already put down their doors, and those snack stand owners who cannot afford to rent storefronts have also set up tables and small stalls with their loads on their shoulders.

Both the boss and the waiter were busy washing pots, boiling water, kneading dough and making stuffing.

Waiting for the guests who are still asleep.

Some familiar neighbors greeted He Yuzhu with a smile when they saw him coming out of Maoer Hutong.
"Hey Zhuzi, you got up so early today!"

"Haha! I always woke up at this time when I was in the army. I'm not used to it when I just got back. I woke up naturally while sleeping.

By the way, Uncle Zhang, Uncle Wang, I remember that many of your breakfast stalls do not accept food coupons.
I guess this business is pretty good!"

"It's OK.
Although the residents have gradually gotten used to eating breakfast outside every morning since the unified purchase and sale policy began last year,
However, the profits of food that does not require food coupons are higher.
As a result, more and more shops and vendors went to the street government to apply for qualifications to open breakfast shops, and business was not as good as it was at the beginning.

How about some pillars?"

"Wait a minute! There are several people at home. It would be inappropriate for me to eat breakfast by myself. Let's wait until my dad and the others get up."

"Okay, then take a good look at it. I won't say any more to you."

Seeing that they were all busy, He Yuzhu, who had originally wanted to ask about the public-private partnership, did not ask.
"Okay, Uncle Zhang, you're busy."

After strolling around Nanluoguxiang and seeing that some people were coming out to have breakfast, He Yuzhu then staggered back to the courtyard.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Yan Bugui holding a cow bone toothbrush and a bowl of hot water, rinsing his mouth at the door.
"Morning, Uncle Yan!"

Seeing He Yuzhu coming in from outside, Yan Bugui spit out the foam in his mouth and greeted him with a smile.
"Good morning, Zhuzi, why are you up so early?
I was just wondering who opened the door and went out so early in the morning, I didn't expect it was you!"

"I'm used to getting up early in the army. I couldn't sleep so I went outside to take a look. I didn't expect it to be quite hot outside. Many neighbors were setting up stalls to sell breakfast."

"To tell you the truth, Zhuzi,

That is, I have to go to work, and your aunt has to stay at home to take care of Jie Di. Otherwise, our family will have to ask Director Li for permission to set up a stall to sell breakfast.
After all, every penny earned is a penny earned, right? "
