I am Fugui

Chapter 151 Seeing an Acquaintance Again

Except for the change of the signboard of Wang's Restaurant, almost nothing has changed.

The decoration has not changed, the cook has not changed, the dishes have not changed, the staff has not changed, of course, the shopkeeper and the boss have changed.

When Xu Fugui's family walked into the restaurant, they used to stand at the curved front desk. The smiling shopkeeper Zhou had disappeared, and instead was a middle-aged man in blue uniform.

Xu Fugui looked at this person, blinked his eyes, and asked, "Brother Lu?"

Hearing this, Lu Yin raised his head, was taken aback for a moment, and shouted in surprise, "Fugui?"

"Hahaha, brother Lu, it's really you."

He knew Lu Yincai, and Lu Yincai was one of them when he rescued Comrade Chen.

However, Du Yuzhi, Zhong Shouzheng, and Comrade Chen were the only ones who came out of the prison at that time. Why did Lu Yin appear suddenly? He thought that everyone else was dead.

Xu Fugui asked euphemistically, and Lu Yin laughed out loud, and looked at the ceiling with a sigh, "I was fatally shot twice in the leg."

"People from the southern army saw that I was not dead, so they locked me in a big prison. I don't know what happened, and no one came to take care of me."

"It wasn't until a few months ago, after Yunxi County was taken over by our people, that I was released from the prison. After a period of time, Magistrate Du arranged for me to be the person in charge of the state-run restaurant."

Xu Fugui nodded suddenly, his face full of sincerity, "Brother Lu, you have suffered."

Lu Yin just waved his hand, "What's the matter, I'm pretty good, the others are dead, and I can't even find their bodies, but I still remember the names of each of them."

Xu Fugui sighed, turned around and called Shun Shun over. The three of them stood at the front desk and greeted each other, and the friendship that was originally superficial gradually deepened.

"By the way, you guys are going to eat, right? Come with me and arrange a private room for you. You can come here for dinner anytime. There will be a seat at any time, but the price is indispensable to me, and the hotel's revenue must be handed over."

"Haha, of course, it's a matter of business, so there must be a lot of money for meals."

Lu Yincai limped out from the front desk, leaning on two crutches in his hands. Only then did everyone realize that there was no place for his right leg from the knee down!

Lu Yincai looked at the silent crowd, and smiled indifferently, "Come on, I'll take you to the private room. By the way, Fugui, what jobs have you and Laishun been assigned?"

"I heard that two of you, one with second-class merit and one with third-class merit, must arrange better jobs than me, and I'm only a third-class meritorious student."

Xu Fugui followed his footsteps and did not help him, "I am working as the branch secretary in the village now, so I will be the deputy branch secretary."

"The branch secretary?"

Lu Yin gave him a strange look, "It shouldn't be, why are you a party secretary, you can read and have second-class skills, isn't it a grievance to be a party secretary?"

"Ham, I don't care about the size of the position. We are just a brick. We can move it wherever we need it. Let alone being a branch secretary, even if I don't arrange a job for me, I'm still willing."

Lu Yincai pointed at him with a smile, "Fugui, you speak the same way as before, and what you think in your heart will never be the same as what you say, but County Magistrate Du and the others like your thick-skinned appearance."

Xu Fugui looked at him solemnly, "I don't say what I say in my heart, I am straightforward, what I think in my heart, what I say."

Lu Yincai leaned on crutches and went upstairs skillfully, "Okay, I reckon your branch secretary is only temporary. Maybe it won't be long before County Magistrate Du will arrange a better job for you."

Lai Shun scratched the back of his head with a silly smile, "Brother Lu, you really guessed right. Sister Yuzhi said that my brother is just an acting party secretary."

Lu Yin raised his eyebrows, "Look, I'll tell you, you still refuse to admit it."

Xu Fugui opened the door of the box, "It's nothing to worry about, I'll be satisfied if I can be a party secretary."

Everyone came to the private room to sit down and listened to them with their ears pricked up, especially Liu Cuiping, who looked at Fugui with admiration in his eyes, and whispered something to Jiazhen from time to time, Jiazhen occasionally raised her head proudly.

"Brother Lu, do you have time, the three of us have a drink together?"

Lu Yincai's eyes lit up, "Okay, let's have a drink. I don't have much work, so I'm too busy every day."

Afterwards, he called the waiter and asked them to bring over two bottles of good wine, and Xu Fugui ordered a lot of dishes by the way.

Roast duck, Kung Pao chicken, braised pork with preserved vegetables, scrambled eggs, peanuts, braised fish, Lu Yincai's eyelids twitched when he saw it, and he quickly said, "Enough is enough, Fugui, the prices here are not cheap."

Xu Fugui waved his hand indifferently, "I have a full 100 yuan in second-class merit, so it's not a problem to spend ten yuan for a meal."

That's right, even though he ordered a lot, but with two bottles of wine, the cost is estimated to be less than ten yuan.

The dishes were brought to the table one after another, perhaps because of Lu Yincai's relationship, the portion of each dish was very large, and the color, fragrance and taste were all good, the chef obviously put in a lot of effort.

While drinking, Xu Fugui looked at the dishes on the table and suddenly asked, "Brother Lu, where do the ingredients for the restaurant come from?"

Lu Yin said without thinking: "Where else can it come from? I bought it in the vegetable market."

Xu Fugui picked up the wine glass and said seriously: "To tell you the truth, our Xujia Village is most famous for its water quality and soil quality. People from other places rush to buy the vegetables we grow and the chickens and ducks we feed."

"Brother Lu, why don't you waste your time and energy going to the vegetable market to buy it, and let people from our village deliver it to the door of the restaurant every morning. The quality is definitely better than the vegetable market."

Lu Yincai raised his eyebrows and joked, "Fugui, you are really a good party secretary, you only think about your own village, don't you?"

Xu Fugui chuckled, "I'm also for the restaurant. It's not like you don't know the vegetables in the vegetable market, and they're not fresh."

Lu Yin waved his hand indifferently, "Okay, I'll call the buyer up, and you have a good talk with him, but remember, there must be no deception."

Xu Fugui patted his chest, "Don't worry, you don't know who I am?"

Lu Yincai clinked glasses with him. After drinking, leaning on a cane, he got up to go to the toilet, and called the buyer to come up.

After he went out, Xu Fugui patted his flushed face, and quickly ate a piece of duck meat to fill his stomach.

"Brother Fugui, you are amazing." Liu Cuiping said suddenly.

"I'm terrible." Xu Fugui said with a smile.

Liu Cuiping shook her head, and said seriously, "Anyway, you are very powerful. I feel that you know a lot of people. Everywhere you go, people greet you."

Xu Fugui laughed out loud. Compared with the cowardice in his previous life, the development in this life is much smoother. At least in Yuanxi County, he has a good relationship with the upper class, and he doesn't have to farm with his back facing the loess all the time.

Xu's father and Xu's mother looked at him with satisfaction, while Jiazhen added a bowl of rice for him and asked him to drink less alcohol.
