Return To 1977 Chapter 690: Eat for free

lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

It stands to reason that after you have eaten and drank enough and asked about the price, then you should pay for it, right?

But Hong Yanwu didn't. Instead, he made a request to the waiter that no one could have imagined.

"Call your boss."

Not long after, a skinny man came over.

He is probably in his early thirties, not tall, but has a shrewd look on his face, which makes him look like a local.

As soon as he met me, he nodded and smiled.

"Gentlemen, my name is Aqiang, and I am the boss here."

"What are you dissatisfied with? Is it because our food is not to your liking? Is there something wrong with the price?"

"It doesn't matter, make friends. It's your first time here, I can give you a discount, five series and eight...no, five series and six, okay?"

The sound of "Guangpu" is really long.

But this person may have misunderstood a little. Looking at the formation, he thought Hong Yanwu and the others were deliberately making things difficult.

Because Hong Yanwu and the others were dressed in tacky clothes, wearing winter trousers, fleece jackets, and shirts, and they spoke with accents, it was not difficult to tell that they were from the north.

What's more, on the other hand, even Hong Yanwu's subordinates were a little mistaken, and they all showed stern expressions.

The food here is much more expensive than in the capital, and they also thought that Mr. Hong wanted to cause trouble.

Hong Yanwu quickly explained.

"Boss, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else."

"I heard from the driver that your place is a relatively large individual restaurant with good business in Huacheng, so I want to discuss business with you."

"Of course, it doesn't matter if we can't reach an agreement, we can pay and leave immediately..."

In this way, the other party's expression looked better, but his expression was meager. Apparently he didn't pay much attention to it and was just perfunctory.

"Okay, if there is any opportunity to make a fortune, please tell me now."

Hong Yanwu quickly picked up a carton full of drinks and opened it to him in public.

"Nothing else, just this thing. If you want it, give me a price."

"Maotai...Maotai!"

Aqiang couldn't help but be shocked.

To be sure, this thing is famous all over the world. Even the people who saw it around were amazed.

"Bamboo shoots!"

"Oh, so many!"

“If it’s true, it’s false, but it’s a shame!”

Aqiang rolled his eyes and said, "Sir, I heard you guys are from the capital. So... can I have a bottle of Asi?"

Hong Yanwu knew what he had planned, smiled contemptuously, and immediately closed the carton.

"Boss, you are boring now, forget it, just pretend I didn't say it..."

Aqiang quickly rolled his tongue to distinguish.

"Sir, Moutai is also sold in our Friendship Store. The price is only eight yuan. It only costs a few yuan to exchange foreign exchange certificates in private."

Hong Yanwu smiled again, these words could not deceive him.

Because in Beijing, Cantonese people are willing to spend fifty or sixty yuan to buy this thing. Why can't I do it?

"You are not a serious person in business. Is the exchange rate you mentioned correct? How much do I need?"

"Don't think I don't know. Even the overseas remittance coupons here are 50 cents each. To buy a bottle of Moutai, you get 120 overseas remittance coupons, right?"

"Besides, you won't see this stuff here at all. These things are given priority to satisfy the capital, otherwise you people wouldn't go to the capital and buy these things everywhere."

After finishing speaking, Hong Yanwu threw out another authentic Cantonese sentence - "pay the bill."

Just by pronouncing these two words so accurately, it is enough to prove that he is not a Yankee who knows nothing about Huacheng.

This time, the active one turned into the passive one, which made Ah Qiang anxious.

"Sir, we can slowly discuss the price. I won't say whether your wine is genuine or not. I have to take a look first."

After saying that, he stared at the wine in the box one by one.

Hong Yanwu was quite calm. Instead, he took out an invoice from the Beijing Friendship Store and handed it to him.

"I know what you are worried about. Don't worry about this. Things will be kept safe."

"If it really doesn't work, you can open it and try it. If you really find a fake bottle in my box of wine, I'll give it all to you, okay?"

"But if it's not fake, you have to buy it all at my price, and you don't have the power to bargain."

"By the way, I also brought a box of Wuliangye. Do you want it? I also have an invoice."

The last sentence, coupled with another box being pulled out from under the table, almost caused a commotion in the entire restaurant.

Many waiters have already come to watch the fun.

At this time, Aqiang, who had identified the invoice, saw eagerness on the faces of many acquaintances and did not hesitate any longer.

He quickly took Hong Yanwu, brought wine and went to a private room to talk in detail.

After almost another twenty minutes, Aqiang and Hong Yanwu walked out together with cigarettes in their mouths. They were all smiles, and it was obvious that the deal was concluded.

Then, Aqiang took Hong Yanwu to the kitchen of the restaurant with a box of wine each.

When Hong Yanwu came out again, his belongings were gone, but his pocket was already bulging.

At this time, he waved his hand and greeted everyone.

"Are you full? Leave!"

It should be said that this is the time to be high-spirited and take collective action.

But a discordant note sounded, completely ruining the awesome momentum of Lightning.

"Master Hong, we...are we really eating for nothing?"

It was "Dabao" who showed up, probably because this kid didn't wake up from his sleep, and someone who is usually quite smart actually asked a stupid question.

Hong Yanwu was so angry that he glanced sideways at him and couldn't help but curse.

"Eat for free? I think you look like an idiot! Your brain is deprived of oxygen? The boss is treating you to a treat, what the **** do you have any objections to?"

When I came out of the restaurant, it was almost half past eight, and I definitely couldn't do anything serious today.

And since I had just slept and was in high spirits, I would probably have to stare at the ceiling in a daze when I went back.

Coupled with the fact that he had just earned some extra money, Hong Yanwu was in a pretty good mood.

So next, he took everyone to the famous "Oriental Hotel" to experience the country's first music cafe and experience the nightlife of the Flower City.

The so-called music teahouse is an entertainment venue that integrates drinking tea and listening to music, which was renovated by the "Oriental Hotel" last year on the basis of the original restaurant.

The renovated new restaurant is called "Cuiyuan Palace" and has an independent stage set and modern audio and video equipment.

Meals are provided to guests during the day. After 9:30 in the evening, a music cafe is opened, and the audience passes notes to request songs.

The performance format is quite novel. Not only can the actors move around on the stage with a microphone, but they also sing almost all Hong Kong and Taiwan songs. The style is completely different from that in the mainland.

So as a fashionable product of the new era, this incident caused a sensation across the country from the beginning.

Not only did China China Television Station send people to Huacheng for interviews and reports, but many people from outside the city also wanted to see the music cafe.

I want to see what it is, the light music band is "heavy-tasting" and the young people are "not interested in listening".

But at the same time, opposition voices are inevitable. Some people cannot accept it and regard music cafes as a scourge.

For example, our literary and art critics have criticized "extreme music and low taste" and "the surname is already 'capitalist' and no longer surnamed 'social'".

Fortunately, since the music cafe must have a "Hometown Return Permit" to buy a ticket to enter, the official explanation is that it is limited to Hong Kong and Macao compatriots, and the objections did not lead to a strict ban.

Since then, a trend has formed, and the Overseas Chinese Hotel, Aiqun Building, and Huacheng Hotel have also opened music cafes one after another.

By the mid-1980s, almost all hotels in Huacheng had such entertainment venues.

By that time, it was essentially the first of its kind in the country and fully open to the society.

To be honest, Hong Yanwu brought everyone here not only to open their eyes, but also to make up for a small regret in his heart.

Because in his last life, it was already 1986 or 1987 when he came to Huacheng. At that time, he made a little money by helping Gao Ming "escort the cigarettes".

At that time, he wanted to see something.

But first, he heard that the ticket alone cost 20 foreign exchange coupons, and any consumption inside would cost hundreds. This really made him feel distressed.

Secondly, he always stayed in the truck compartment with the goods when he came and went. He was dirty and dirty, and he had to leave immediately after picking up the goods.

The clothes and time were not suitable, so I never went.

When he is released from prison again, he and Gao Ming get into real estate and finally become prosperous. It will be the early 1990s again.

By that time, karaoke had become popular, and a new form of entertainment had long since completely replaced the music cafe.

It's just like that saying.

Finally, I got peanuts, but I lost my teeth again...
