In fact, the impact of allowing private participation in the catering industry goes far beyond the Hong family.

Similar discussions also took place in the two cadre families who were related to them in one way or another.

It's just because of the different relationship with the Hong family and the different personal ideological realm. The two families of cadres with almost the same rank have quite different views on this matter.

And it must be said that Hong Lucheng was indeed foresight, and some of the situations he anticipated were already reflected in these conversations.

At Director Song's house, the conversation started after dinner, with the father asking about his son's work.

The father and son naturally talked about changes in society.

Song Guofu talked about the latest statistics recently compiled by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

Data show that there are currently 2,834 registered individual industrial and commercial households in Beijing, with 3,018 employees.

That is simply increasing at a rapid rate. Moreover, due to the introduction of the new policy, more and more people have recently applied for catering licenses and inquired about opening restaurants and food stalls.

Director Song couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey, the policies are relatively relaxed now. Those who don't have jobs are encouraged to do some self-employment, such as opening a small shop, a food stall or something. It has indeed solved some practical problems. You can buy There are quotas for buying meat, quotas for buying oil, quotas for buying wine, and quotas for buying grain. Hasn’t this pressure been transferred to our Grain Bureau and the Second Commercial Bureau? Even though rural areas have implemented household quotas. . Farmers have become more motivated, and there are more things. But now it is still a seller's market, and it is still a headache to solve all the supply problems."

When he said this, he also thought of Hong Yanwu.

"Hey, didn't Xiaowu and his family own a restaurant in the past? Do I want to ask you about these things?"

Song Guofu shook his head. Director Song was relieved.

"That's okay. If Xiao Wu has this intention, you have to persuade him to let him work with peace of mind and stay at the Polar Bear. Don't think about these irrelevant things."

But Song Guofu didn't understand because of his attitude.

"Dad, aren't you willing to help Xiao Wu? Are you afraid that he will ask you for food and oil? Now you can make money by opening a restaurant. If he really asks, how can I have the nerve to refuse him? Besides, this is reasonable and legal, It’s allowed by national policy.”

Mrs. Song couldn't help but take over the words.

"Son, your dad is good for Xiao Wu. You still don't know, who looks up to the self-employed in industry and commerce? How much money can he earn to have a stable job in the country? His current job can be managed for a lifetime. That unit is really That's good. I heard that there are now three self-built buildings. When the time comes, your dad can help him and give him a house, so he won't have to worry about getting married. Yes, I know that their family has surrendered the house. , but no matter how big it is, it’s not a bungalow? How can it be compared with a unit?”

Director Song also said. "If his family insists on doing it, it's not easy to stop him. But you have to do your duty as a friend and persuade them to give up the idea. Why? Think about it, I heard that their family's business used to be quite big. . If they reopen the restaurant and know how to run it, and the food is good, and the service is better, then there will definitely be more people eating there, and they will have to pay for it, so tell me. What’s the relationship between the hired person and them?”

Song Guofu replied without hesitation, "Of course it is an employment relationship."

Director Song nodded. "Yes, their business will become more and more prosperous and they will employ more and more people. Then won't they become an exploiting class again? You have to know that our country is pursuing common prosperity and will never allow it. If there are millionaires again, what are they going to do?”

Song Guofu was stunned by this sentence.

At this time, Mrs. Song took over the conversation and made the final summary.

"Don't talk about millionaires, not even one hundred thousand. Understand, son. You said that the Hong family itself does not lack anything, and now Xiaowu's future is guaranteed. It would be great to live a good life. Why bother? You’re going to cause this trouble again, right? You’re not afraid of anything else. If something changes in the future, I’ll give you some advice..."

Contrary to the Song family's well-intentioned concerns, the Xu family's attitude towards the new social situation is purely unacceptable and critical.

"Humph, what happened to this world? Chiang Kai-shek's eight million troops were wiped out! Why are these exploiters and capitalists coming back again? Then what is my work these years? I finally defeated the tiger, If we have a public-private partnership, won’t it all be wasted now?”

Xu Bingquan and his wife couldn't help talking about their dissatisfaction with their work, and their words were full of gunpowder.

Yu Wanfen quickly advised, "Lao Xu, don't be too angry. The current situation is only temporary, don't imagine it is too serious. I think the resurgence of the bourgeoisie is actually impossible, and the country will not let it go. , there will always be some restrictive policies.”

But this consolation had little effect on Xu Bingquan, and he shook his head sadly.

"Restrictions? I don't think they can be restricted. Is there another public-private partnership? Is it another tiger hunt? Times have changed, and people are no longer willing to engage in 'movements'."

"Do you still remember? How did I get promoted to deputy director of the Commerce Bureau? Yes, I just can't stand that kind of arrogance and eating and drinking behavior. I just want to turn bourgeois restaurants into just It is a place that serves the proletariat so that workers, peasants and soldiers can afford it, so I made drastic changes.”

"I removed the neon lights in front of the door and the traffic lights in the windows. I removed the single rooms and changed them into full rooms. With my actions, the waiters were no longer nodding and hunched waiters, but straight-backed ones. Straight working class ”

"Of course, the most important thing is to revamp the menu, otherwise it will become a formalism. Things like 'roasted sea cucumber with green onions', 'squirrel mandarin fish', and 'hibiscus chicken slices' are so noble, who can afford them? ? Or a popular dish, the popular soup is good, radish and cabbage are safe, a dish and a soup cost two or three cents, which is enough for one person to eat. ”

"But so what if I have worked hard to change the eating environment? Hey, people, the willpower when it comes to eating is the weakest. Now it has all changed again. Let's Money is running rampant in the restaurant, and the business policy has begun to promote famous dishes and require profits. Now, it is open to private operators. How is it different from the Hong family before liberation? Is this still a world where the people are the masters?"

Having said that, my girl who is sitting watching TV and eating melon seeds doesn’t want to hear it anymore.

Xu Chongya threw down the melon seed peel and protested.

"Dad, why are you like this? What's wrong with the Hong family? Do you have such a big opinion? People have been running restaurants for generations. What's so sinful? I think it's reasonable to allow it now, and everyone can do their best. , Distribution according to work. If you ask me, it’s your fault. And I don’t understand. Who doesn’t want to eat well? You just want to be a carrot and cabbage forever?"

"Hey, you...you kid, why are you still complaining about me?" Xu Bingquan didn't expect to be criticized by his daughter, and he choked up with a guilty conscience.

On the contrary, Yu Wanfen had words to tell the difference for him.

"What do you know? Your father did the right thing! You don't know the situation back then. How many people were dragged into the trap by the capitalists, and their depravity started from treating guests to dinner. Maybe those shameful things were done in the Hong family restaurant It was done in a small room! Isn’t it a crime for a restaurant owner?”

Now Xu Bingquan was inspired and had something to say. "Yes, have you read the newspapers from the past few days? A chef at Fengzeyuan reported to the superiors that many cadres went to the restaurant to have special meals. As a result, so many cadres fell down on this matter. Falling. Isn’t it caused by greed? Is it food or poison? Isn’t it worth being vigilant?”

"Besides, I am not completely opposed to appetite. There are always changes in people's lives, and tooth sacrifices are often made in the revolutionary ranks. But the 'great leader' is nothing more than a bowl of 'braised pork'. Can everyone follow him? Older people? I think a stir-fried shredded pork with cabbage, braised fish cubes, and fried meatballs are enough. Which worker can eat these things every day?"

At this time, Yu Wanfen took over the topic again.

"Yes, I think this is good. People are too dissatisfied, so they often live in blessings and don't know how to be blessed. Chongya, let me talk about you. You want the best for everything, and for everything If you were born in a remote mountainous area, it would be good to give you a bowl of rice. Look at you, so many cadres’ children don’t want it, so what kind of person have you chosen?”

Then she expressed strong support for her husband.

"Lao Xu, I believe that time will prove that you are right. So don't be too anxious. Although the atmosphere of hardship and simplicity in today's society has disappeared, it will be corrected one day. Anyway, no matter what. I believe that private restaurants can never compete with state-owned restaurants. At least I won’t eat in private restaurants. The food is better and the prices are fair.”

Xu Chongya couldn't help but roll her eyes at her mother's attitude.

"Mom, why do you look like the Marxist-Leninist old lady in the novel "Middle Age". Don't you think the attitude of state-owned restaurants is too bad?"

Yu Wanfen sneered.

"Ouch. Are you eating or are you paying attention to the service attitude? Doesn't that prove that your father's transformation results are effective? Besides, the service attitude in this industry is not bad now. You book sellers don't quarrel with others ? Don’t you often kick others out? Are you willing to be humble?”

Yes, I’m choking. Mother and daughter quarreled, and Xu Chongya was completely defeated.
