Siheyuan: Fighting against Japanese Aggression in Beijing

Chapter 285 Restaurant Opening



Chapter 285 Restaurant Opening

The next morning, before daybreak, Yu Li called up Sha Zhu and went to the hotel. Today was the official opening day of the hotel and she was already impatient. Last night, she tossed and turned all night and didn't get much sleep.

"Oh, look at you, the cock hasn't even crowed for the first time! Why are you in such a hurry?" Sha Zhu complained.

"Brother Zhuzi, today is our first day at the hotel. I can't sleep. We can't let our master down," Yu Li said. "This is an opportunity, an opportunity to make a fortune. Look at Xu Damao. I heard that he got rich by listening to his master. Look, he has a watch worth 100,000 yuan. How rich he is!"

"Yeah, this guy, hey, how come he is so rich! Where's my watch? Take it out for me later. A lot of people will come today, I have to wear it." Sha Zhu said.

"Hmph, I don't know you yet. You just want to show off?" Yu Li said unhappily.

"Hehe, it is a bit interesting." Sha Zhu said with a silly smile, "Wearing a hundred thousand dollars on your hand, that feels hehe."

"You're a bad boy, but I'm telling you! Don't get it dirty. Take care of it when you cook. Also, don't throw it away." Yu Li instructed.

“No, even if I lose myself, I will never lose my watch.” Sha Zhu said with a smile.

……

Around noon, Xu Damao came to the hospital to pick up Li Kangri, and then went to the restaurant together. When they arrived at the restaurant, some guests had already sat down and waited.

Seeing this, Li Kangri went up to greet everyone one by one, and after a while he went to the door to welcome the guests.

Just when Li Kangri and Xu Damao were bored, a group of unexpected people came to the door.

"Old Li, why are you here?" Li Kangri asked. He really didn't inform him of this.

"Humph, I'm here to fight the landlords, to fight you, the capitalist." Li Renyi said unhappily, "Come on, you didn't even inform me about such a big thing. I heard about it from someone else. That old Huang laughed at me, saying that his son started a business without informing me."

"Yes, fighting against Japan, that's what you did wrong. Look at you, why didn't you even invite your uncle Ma? That's not right." Political Commissar Ma said with a smile.

"Hey, I'm not afraid that the two leaders will be busy! You have just resumed work, I'm really worried that you will be too busy to have time."

"Busy for nothing, it's all a sinecure." Li Renyi said dissatisfiedly.

"Yes, now we are already idle people. Talented people emerge in every generation and each of them leads the trend for hundreds of years!" Political Commissar Ma also complained.

"Hey, it's better to have some free time. What else do you want to do when you're old? It would be great to take care of your grandchildren and children!" said Li Kangri.

"You're right. But you, how come you're still doing business?" Political Commissar Ma said with a smile.

"We have to support our family! How can the salary from the factory be enough? A family needs a lot of food, drink, and toilet!"

"Who would believe it? With your skills, if you open a clinic you can earn in one day what others earn in a year." Political Commissar Ma said.

"Uncle Ma, the clinic will open later, let's try opening a restaurant first."

"Did you see that? Old Li, your son is such a money-grubber. He's not even satisfied with such a big restaurant." Political Commissar Ma said with a smile.

"Who cares! Anyway, I'm here to eat for free, and today I can be considered to have a return meal," Li Renyi said indifferently, "I said I'm fighting against the Japanese, and I won't pay for my meals in the future."

"It's up to you. It's not a big deal." Li Kangri said with a smile.

Hearing Li Kangri's words, Li Renyi laughed out loud, "Hahaha, Lao Ma, go in, I'll treat you today."

"Virtue!"

Soon, after receiving the last wave of guests, the restaurant was already full.

At this time, in a private room on the second floor of the hotel, Li Kangri, Xu Damao and Li Huaide were chatting.

"I say, Damao, you really are a man who deserves to be looked at with new eyes after three days of absence! You must have made a fortune with this style, right?" Li Huaide said enviously.

"Hey, Uncle Li, it's not that exaggerated. I just made a little fortune."

"Xiaocai, the one those two secretaries at the door belong to you, right? Also, the watch on your wrist looks quite valuable to me, right? My brother-in-law has one that looks like the same brand as yours, and it costs tens of thousands! Yours looks even more expensive than his." Li Huaide said cunningly.

"Haha, it's nothing, just two or three hundred thousand. Please excuse me for making a fool of myself, Uncle Li." Xu Damao went to Van Erh racing track. The reason he came back was to return home in glory!

"Hey, look at it, look at it, two or three hundred thousand is nothing, why are you so arrogant? Huh? Hahahaha..."

"Uncle Li, please forgive me for making a fool of myself."

"Don't be modest, but coming to the point, where have you been all these years?" Li Huaide asked.

"Hey, Uncle Li, you know where we could go in those days? The whole mainland was in the movement, and there were only a few places we could go. I had no choice but to listen to my master and go to Hong Kong."

"No wonder you have an accent from over there! It seems my guess was right. How about it? Are you going to leave now that you're back?"

"I'm not leaving. My master said that there will be great development here in the future, so I plan to make a big splash here! But I don't have a place to live now, so I need your help, Uncle Li!" Xu Damao said.

"Help? What do you mean?" Li Huaide asked.

"Hey, didn't I hear that houses in the old city cannot be bought and sold now? And Uncle Li, you are so well-connected, so I need your help in this matter, but money is not a problem." Xu Damao explained.

"Oh, that's what you mean! That's no problem. I'll find the connection for you. Tell me what you like?" Li Huaide agreed readily.

"Then I would like to thank Uncle Li first, but I haven't decided yet. I want to buy a yard closer to my master's residence. My master also wants to open a clinic, so we need to buy two places."

Hearing that Li Kangri was going to open a clinic, Li Huaide said excitedly, "Brother, are you going to open a clinic?"

"Haha, yes! I can't just sit there doing nothing!"

"How about fortune telling together?" Li Huaide asked, "Brother, I've been waiting for you to give me some advice! I'm almost going sick from being idle. I've already decided what to do, and I've been waiting for you to give me..."

"Of course, now I'm not afraid of anyone putting accusations on me," said Li Kangri.

"Hahaha, OK, OK, OK," Li Huaide said with a smile, "Brother, I'll find a place for you as soon as possible. I'm a little impatient. I want to be your first customer."

"Of course, I think so too."

"Okay, let's eat. I haven't eaten Sha Zhu's food for a long time. I can't help it when I smell it." Li Huaide laughed.
