The life of Lao Liu since 1944

The remaining brothers were immediately excited when they heard this, and they all cheered. They had been working with Hou Jie for a while and knew the young master's character very well.

Not only did he pay high wages, but he also provided very good benefits. Now that they heard that they were going to receive employee benefits and have holidays, they were naturally overjoyed.

"Wow! That's great! We can finally take a break!" a younger brother said excitedly.

"Yes, not only is there annual leave, but there is also such a long Spring Festival holiday, which is simply great!" another younger brother echoed.

"Haha, working for the young master is different!" someone exclaimed.

They began to calculate the time and found that the annual leave was almost ten days, plus the Spring Festival holiday, a total of more than 20 days of vacation, which was too rare for them. They could enjoy this rare vacation, reunite with their families, and relax.

Hou Jie looked at the excitement of the crowd and shook his head with a smile. He knew that his efforts were recognized by everyone, which was also the goal he had always pursued. He hoped that through his efforts, the people around him could live a better life.

They know very well that workers in other factories may have to work until New Year's Eve before they can take a holiday, and the annual leave is not that long!

When ordinary people learned that Yongchang Grain Store was going to stop selling grain so early before the New Year, they instantly panicked and hurriedly dragged their families, young and old, to the door of the grain store and formed a long line.

Some kindhearted people quickly called out to their neighbors: "Old Li, don't rush to do anything else. Don't you know? Yongchang Grain Store is closed very early this year. If you go too late, you will have to spend a lot of money to buy food!"

"Really? Thank you so much, Lao Zhang. I'll go get it ready right away."

Everyone is afraid of missing this rare opportunity and not being able to buy cheap food.

After all, everyone knows that the expenses during the Chinese New Year are really terrifyingly high. If you can take this opportunity to buy cheap food, you can save a lot of money for the family!

Therefore, as soon as the stalls in the vegetable market opened, many people were shivering in the cold wind and waiting in line. The scene was simply crazy. The early risers couldn't help but wonder: "Why are these people here so early?"

The guy next to him explained, "What do you know? Buying New Year's goods early before the New Year can save a lot of money. Our Dong family is nice and sells cheap food. Once the holiday comes, the price of food will definitely go up like crazy!"

In this way, this lively scene lasted for several days. Even in the dead of night, people still came to line up, as if they had returned to the time when grain quotas were first implemented and people were scrambling to buy grain.

Faced with the booming scene of grain trading, Zhang Dalong did not take it too seriously. Naturally, someone would be responsible for this matter.

Zhang Dalong had just taken over Hou Jie's task and quickly instructed his waiters to go to major restaurants such as Fengzeyuan and Donglaishun. When the restaurant owners received Zhang Dalong's big order, they were naturally delighted.

Seeing that there were such a large number of orders so early before the New Year, they readily agreed as they knew that it would not only not delay the normal operation of their stores but would also allow them to earn huge profits.

They all exclaimed, "Great! Yongchang Grain Store is really generous! We will make a lot of money this time."

After agreeing, the restaurant owners immediately told the chefs and waiters to get ready, buy all kinds of meat and vegetables, sharpen their knives and prepare utensils, and go all out. They also promised: "If you do a good job, I will reward you generously and let you have a good New Year."

Hearing that there would be an extra reward, the chefs were all excited. "There will be more bosses, just wait and see!"

They knew very well that Yongchang Grain Store was extraordinary and had strong financial resources behind it, and it was rare to get such a customer.

When they arrived at the place designated by Zhang Dalong, they saw so many colleagues gathered together, and the atmosphere became lively. Not only the boss was thinking about competing, but everyone secretly made up their minds to show off their skills.

This is a rare opportunity for exchange of ideas and also a stage to showcase one's own cooking skills.

On this day, all the guys were dressed in neat work clothes and walked into the familiar alley of the vegetable market in high spirits.

The sun shines through the treetops onto the road, and the air is filled with the fragrance of vegetables and the breath of life. Both sides of the alley are filled with tables, chairs and benches, forming a unique landscape.

According to the pre-arranged groups, the guys found their own group positions. Under the careful arrangement of the team leader, they lined up in an orderly manner, quietly and expectantly waiting for the meal time to come. Their joy was beyond words, showing their yearning for the food they were about to enjoy and their love for collective life.

They had heard that this time the boss had invested heavily and hired several cooking masters to take charge of the cooking. These chefs were usually very wealthy and their cooking skills were breathtaking. The dishes they cooked were delicious, colorful, fragrant and tasty, and were the ultimate delicacies that ordinary people could hardly taste in their daily lives.

After hearing the news, the guys were all excited, full of anticipation and joy.

Everyone was very happy. Someone asked a familiar partner, "Liu Zi, isn't your brother working in logistics? Do you have any inside information?"

Liuzi chuckled and said, "Let me tell you! We are blessed this time."

The news of the dinner at Yongchang Grain Store had already spread quietly throughout the streets and alleys like a spring breeze, and was no longer a hidden secret.

Driven by this mysterious and unique curiosity, many ordinary people stopped to watch, and some even came from far away just to witness this rare grand scene.

Because the entire alley was basically occupied by Yongchang Grain Store, they could only gather at the entrance of the alley and discuss in groups of three or five.

"I never thought that there would be so many people in Yongchang, probably nearly two thousand!" someone exclaimed.

"Yes! We must have made money this year. Look at the dishes, they are so delicious and smell so good! I heard that they are all made by the chef in the eighth building. When can we have such a feast?" another person echoed.

"Of course! As long as you are willing to spend one month's salary on it." Someone joked.

The man who was speaking retorted immediately, saying angrily: "Come on! I'm not that stupid. I can't live like that anymore."

"Don't mention it, I really envy these guys." someone sighed.

Such scenes may be commonplace in large factories, but they are a rare and spectacular sight on the streets of this city.

There are no red tape and rigid formalities like in big factories here, only simple folk customs and warm human touch.

Especially the lively and active children, they run and play in the alley like happy deer, their carefree figures make people envious. Their laughter is like the clear silver bells, echoing in the air, adding a bit of liveliness and vitality.

When the greedy children saw this, their eyes widened and they stared at the older brothers who were enjoying the food. Their eager eyes seemed to say, "I really want to have a taste!"

Most sensible children just watch and don't go up to disturb.

Only the three or four-year-old little greedy cats, with their little fingers in their mouths, staring at the table with their big eyes, asked the guys who were eating, "Big brother, what are you eating?"

Some guys, seeing these kids, immediately understood that they were greedy. They laughed and kindly gave them a bite of food to let them taste.

"Come on, little one, open your mouth, brother will give you something delicious to eat."

"Thank you, brother." This situation is very common, you feed these children one bite at a time. The atmosphere is very good.

After eating, some children would smile with satisfaction and run to the side to continue playing, while others would stand by, looking forward to the next opportunity to be fed.

At this time, some kind-hearted staff will take the initiative to pass the food to the children, making them feel loved and warm. Some staff will tease these lovely children, such as deliberately holding the food high so that the children can jump up to reach it, or pretending to eat the food and then suddenly stuffing it into the children's mouths, making everyone laugh.

The whole scene was filled with joy and warmth, making people feel extremely happy.
