In fact, until now, except for a few people who knew about it, no one had guessed that Zhou Bingkun bought a house to open a restaurant. They all thought that he wanted to live in it.
Qu Xiuzhen asked: "Have you told your family?"
Zhou Bingkun glanced at Zheng Juan and said, "As I said, Zheng Juan also supports me. I will resign after the Chinese New Year and prepare for the opening of the restaurant."
The restaurant is open!
For a time Zhou Bingkun became the focus.
Qiao Chunyan asked: "Are restaurants allowed to open now?"
People like Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao didn't know, but Tang Xiangyang and Lu Chuan did know something. But those were all matters in the south. I didn't expect Zhou Bingkun to have such courage.
They didn't understand why Zhou Bingkun gave up his identity as a worker.
Those self-employed people in the South are all unemployed and they do this because they have no choice but to do so.
"Bingkun, this is too risky. I think it's better for you to stay in the factory."
"Yes, self-employed people, aren't they the same as those speculators? There are stable jobs in factories."
Not a single friend in the whole room supported Zhou Bingkun's actions.
Zhou Bingkun said: "De Bao, catch up with them and persuade me, so I won't say anything. Xiang Yang, Lu Chuan, you two are also trying to persuade me."
Tang Xiangyang said: "I just think it's too risky. Look at those collective enterprises, they are not developing well. Do you think self-employed people can compare with them?"
The soy sauce factory is a state-owned enterprise, and there are many collective enterprises in rural areas, which are allowed. The efficiency of state-owned enterprises is pretty good, but the efficiency of collective enterprises is much worse.
But after a few years, collective enterprises will be more flexible than many state-owned enterprises, and soy sauce factories may not necessarily be as good as collective enterprises.
But no matter what, they are not optimistic about Zhou Bingkun's self-employment.
Zhou Bingkun couldn't explain much to them, so he asked, "Don't try to persuade me anymore. I'm short of people now. Do you plan to follow me?"
"Bingkun, if you are in trouble, we will do whatever we can to help you. But we are raising families and we really don't dare to take risks."
Zhou Bingkun understood that they were not only worried about the future of the self-employed, but also about policy issues.
When it comes to policy issues, Zhou Bingkun has no way to explain to them. The soy sauce factory and the lumber factory are currently very profitable and can pay wages on time.
These friends will not take risks easily.
Another reason may be that Zhou Bingkun concealed too many things and they didn't trust him.
Zhou Bingkun didn't have any good ideas. He insisted on dragging them over to work for him. This change of identity was not easy to solve.
Qu Xiuzhen also noticed it and said, "Bingkun likes to take risks, so let him try it. You chat with me while Bingkun cooks and cooks all the food at home."
"No, let us women do it."
Qu Xiuzhen said: "Let Bingkun cook it. His cooking is very delicious. You should have no chance to eat it."
"We don't think Bingkun's craftsmanship is that good either."
Qu Xiuzhen said: "What do you usually eat? Those cabbage and radishes don't show off Bingkun's craftsmanship. I specially prepared a lot of dishes, just waiting for Bingkun to make them. You are in for a treat."
Qu Xiuzhen was right. These friends really haven't had the opportunity to taste Zhou Bingkun's craftsmanship. It's not that Zhou Bingkun is reluctant, but that the relationship is close when everyone is together and eats about the same food. If someone suddenly becomes different from everyone else, my friend
There will inevitably be a gap between them.
If he treats guests too well, what will others do?
Qu Xiuzhen was proud in the living room, but Zhou Bingkun was shocked.
"Mrs. Qu, you are too deceptive. Why have you prepared so much?"
"Zhou Bingkun, what did you call me? Don't you know that I hate people calling me old lady?"
Zhou Bingkun said: "I mean you made too much, we can't eat it."
"It's okay if you can't eat it. Put it in the refrigerator and Lao Ma and I will eat it while it's hot."
Others did not go to the kitchen and asked curiously: "How many have been prepared?"
"See for yourselves."
In the kitchen, the meat and vegetables were well prepared and neatly placed there, but the quantity was really large, enough to feed people like them for two or three days.
"Secretary Qu, this is too much."
"As much as you want. Lao Ma and I don't want to cook, so let him cook more and we can just heat it up and eat it."
Only then did Zhou Bingkun understand why Squad Leader Zhang was swallowing his saliva when talking to him just now.
"Secretary Qu, you and Uncle Ma couldn't have eaten those dishes I cooked years ago, right?"
Qu Xiuzhen said proudly: "It was originally prepared for us, how can we say that we are eating alone."
Ma Shouchang also said: "Bingkun, please do more. If you do less, Laoqu will give me a quota."
Zhou Bingkun only thought of using ginseng liquid for cooking in recent months. He has only tried it twice, once at home and once at Qu Xiuzhen's house. Mainly because Taiping Hutong and Zhou's house are not suitable.
.
In these two places, if you eat too well, there is no guarantee that there will be no problems. The family is old and young, and it is really hard to explain if anything happens.
The first time he cooked it at Qu Xiuzhen's house, there was no food left. The second time was years ago, and he didn't eat it himself.
But no matter what, Zhou Bingkun didn't expect Qu Xiuzhen to do this, and he didn't think the leftovers were unclean.
That's wrong. Old revolutionaries like them didn't eat anything back then. Why do they still care about this?
"Secretary Qu, when you go out at night, you don't have to worry about anyone knocking you out. Anyway, if I were your neighbor, I would definitely put a sack on you and knock you out."
"I believe what you say, that's why I drove you away last time."
"We have agreed that you can't trick me again this time. I went back hungry last time."
"It depends on your performance."
The conversation between Zhou Bingkun and Qu Xiuzhen left everyone confused. Zhou Bingkun had no time to pay attention and started preparing to cook.
The ginseng in the space is indeed much more effective than the ginseng outside. The only disadvantage is that there is no way to hide the fragrance.
Soon the fragrance spread from Qu Xiuzhen's home.
The aroma this time was not as strong as the one before years ago, so Zhou Bingkun thought that he put too much ginseng liquid last time and could not show off his true cooking skills.
After the hotel opens, it will not be exposed easily.
Smelling the fragrance, Qiao Chunyan was the first to say: "It smells so good. When did Brother Bingkun have this skill?"
Qu Xiuzhen said: "It smells good. Bingkun said that he had just found the seasoning formula and it was very rare. That's why when he came in just now, he asked him if he had brought a gift. Zheng Juan, do you know where Bingkun got the formula?
?”
Zheng Juan smiled and said: "Secretary Qu, Bingkun didn't say it, and I don't know."
Qiao Chunyan did not let Zheng Juan go and said, "Juan, please tell the truth quickly."
"Really, this was just recently. Bingkun tried it at home and made it. I haven't seen him do it since."
Qu Xiuzhen understood why Zhou Bingkun did this and said: "Okay Chunyan, I believe what Zheng Juan said. Such a rich fragrance must not be easy to come by. Didn't you see that Bingkun didn't let Zheng Juan enter the kitchen?"
In fact, even if Zheng Juan entered the kitchen, she would not be able to discover Zhou Bingkun's secret. The reason why she was not allowed to enter the kitchen was because she wanted her to communicate more with outsiders.
However, what Qu Xiuzhen said also solved Zhou Bingkun's trouble. If Qiao Chunyan and the others asked Zhou Bingkun for these things, he would not be able to take them out.
