Return to 1988: Beginning with a marriage robbery, the rich are soaring

"Listen to what my friends say!"

Liang Baikai said casually.

Xu Qingqing said: "Which friend would tell you this specifically!"

Liang Baikai said: "Didn't I work in the canteen of a state-owned hotel before? As chefs, we would often talk about where the food is delicious."

Xu Qingqing said "Oh" and stopped asking.

Liang Bai drove the car and searched for two or three minutes on the street. Finally, he saw a dumpling shop in front of a three-way intersection. It was an old brick house with bluestone steps at the door.

Parking the car at the door, Liang Baikai and Xu Qingqing got out of the car.

Entering the store, the owner is an old man who looks to be in his 60s, but he is very energetic and has more energy than the average old man of this age.

Liang Baikai asked casually: "Boss, how many years have you been running a dumpling shop?"

The boss said with a smile: "Since the permission was granted, I have opened it."

Liang Bai smiled and said that a century-old store could not do it. For a long time, many people would not be able to do business.

But it is certain that this is the legendary old store in later generations.

The boss's current age is in line with future generations.

Moreover, southerners generally do not eat dumplings very often. It is impossible for such a rural market town to have another dumpling shop.

Liang Baikai said: "It has been open for many years. Please help me cook two bowls of dumplings."

"Okay!" The boss agreed with a smile, leading Liang Baikai and Xu Qingqing to sit down at a square table and cook dumplings.

Liang Baikai took a look and saw that there were four tables in the store, but there were no other customers at this time.

Xu Qingqing whispered: "Are the dumplings here really as delicious as your friend said?"

Liang Baikai didn't know either, so he smiled and said, "You'll know if you try it."

Not long after, two bowls of dumplings were served.

Liang Baikai took a bite and found that the taste was just so-so. It was not as amazing as the legend said, but it was pretty good to be able to make this taste in the countryside.

However, the dumplings are relatively large and filled with plenty of fillings.

Liang Baikai immediately understood that this was a genuine product that was the main product, and then it became a word of mouth. Then it was passed from person to person, and it became a century-old store with unparalleled taste.

Xu Qingqing ate one and said, "It tastes okay, but it's not as delicious as the one you made!"

Liang Baikai laughed.

Needless to say, given my own level, just those condiments are not something that current chefs can master.

Xu Qingqing said: "However, there are still quite a lot of fillings!"

Liang Baikai nodded, Xu Qingqing had the same opinion as him, and took the opportunity to say: "It is easy to build a reputation if the product is genuine."

"No matter how many stores you open in the future, no matter how big the store you open, you must follow this principle."

Xu Qingqing smiled and said: "That's for sure, I want to open many, many branches in the future!"

Before he decided to open a joint store, Liang Baikai said that he would open a chain store in the future, but Xu Qingqing didn't believe it at all.

But now, not only did she fully believe it, she was also full of expectations.

After eating the dumplings and resting for a while, the two continued to set off.

After leaving Hongshi Temple, the mountain road became more rugged and the mountain became larger.

Perhaps she was easily sleepy after eating. After Xu Qingqing talked to Liang Baikai for a while, she leaned on the seat and fell asleep unconsciously.

Liang Baikai drove more carefully, trying not to disturb her.

Time passed slowly.

Xu Qingqing woke up and rubbed her eyes, "Why did I fall asleep!" Then she looked outside and saw that she was completely in the middle of the mountains, with neither houses nor farmland visible by the road.

He asked: "Where are we?"

Liang Baikai said: "We have entered the territory of Changzhou."

"what?"

Xu Qingqing was startled and said, "We have already left Shicheng? How long have I slept?"

Liang Bai said: "More than three hours!"

Xu Qingqing exclaimed: "Have I slept for so long?"

I looked at my watch and saw that it was almost five o'clock now.

Liang Baikai said: "Let's find a place to eat ahead. After we finish eating, we have to drive for a while in the evening. We will rest when we get to Changzhou City."

Xu Qingqing naturally had no objection, but said apologetically and distressedly: "My driving skills are not good now, and I dare not drive on such a road. Otherwise, I could drive with you for a while, and you wouldn't have to drive alone for so long. "

Liang Baikai felt a warmth rise in his heart.

It's great to have a heavy life. No matter what I do, there are people who care about me. It's not like in my previous life, no matter how hard or tired I was, no one would care about me.

Next, eat, rest, and continue on your way.

At nine o'clock in the evening, he arrived in Changzhou City and Liang Baikai found a guest house to stay.

In 1988, unlike the 70s and early 80s, a letter of introduction was required to stay in a hotel abroad.

Now basically all you need is money.

And the rooms are quite cheap. A better guest house only costs 5 yuan a night.

Cheap ones, there are even general stores that cost 5 cents.

Of course, there are not as many hotels, guesthouses and inns as in later generations, and there are not so many choices.

Xu Qingqing entered another city for the first time, and it was a city much larger than Shicheng. She seemed quite excited.

Liang Baikai took her to have a midnight snack and look at the Yangtze River before returning to the guest house to rest.

The next day, after having breakfast near the guest house, the two set off again.

As soon as she got on the bus, Xu Qingqing complained, "The food here is not as delicious as our place!"

Liang Baikai said: "Although Shicheng and Changcheng are only about two hundred kilometers apart, due to the barrier of mountains, the regional cultural differences are still very big, so the food is also very different."

Xu Qingqing said: "They put too little chili pepper in cooking!"

Liang Baikai said: "Starting from Changcheng, the further east you go, the less difficult it is to eat spicy food."

The two chatted and left Changcheng.

All the way to Jiangcheng is plain, and the road is no longer rugged. There are no ups, downs, or curves. The speed of the car is also much faster, with the average speed reaching [-] or [-] miles.

"This is the plain!"

“It’s really flat, there are no mountains at all!”

“This is the first time I’ve seen such a straight road!”

"Also, the houses here are different from ours. I still think the houses over there are prettier!"

"But the fields here are really good. Once they are flat, if you plant crops, you will definitely get a good harvest!"

"..."

Xu Qingqing looked at the scenery outside the car, her eyes full of novelty and excitement, and she made her own comments from time to time.

Liang Baikai smiled and said: "This is the third largest plain in our country. It is known as the world's fish and rice granary. The food output here is definitely much greater than that in our mountainous areas."

Xu Qingqing said: "Then the living standards of people here must be very high!"

Liang Baikai said: "There are rich and poor everywhere, but overall, people in the plains have a higher living standard."

The two chatted all the way, and time passed unconsciously.

Just after noon, the car had entered the suburbs of Jiangcheng.
