"Brother Feng, let's go back to fishing quickly, otherwise there won't be enough to sell tomorrow and the cages haven't been put in yet."

Junzi said to Xu Qingfeng.

After walking out of the supply and marketing cooperative, he couldn't wait.

Xu Qingfeng nodded.

After visiting the supply and marketing cooperative, it also announced that their trip to the forest farm had come to an end.

When Xu Qiusheng returned to the donkey cart, he remembered that they had brought roe deer meat dumplings to their respective fathers.

I have brought these dumplings, so there is no way I can take them back.

So he and Junzi went to the forest farm's work place to find Xu Heping and Junzi's father.

Xu Qingfeng saw that it was almost time for dinner, so he was not in a hurry to go back. He asked the two of them to finish delivering the dumplings later, and took Xu Heping and Jun Zi's father to the state-owned hotel in the forest farm. They had lunch there to always have a full meal. Go back again.

Now when I go back, my family may not leave food for them.

"A state-owned hotel? I've never eaten there. I heard it's valuable...Brother Feng, it's better not to give it up. We'll just make this money in one day. We won't have enough to eat later." Junzi was a little worried.

"Actually, the prices in state-owned restaurants are quite affordable. We don't order expensive ones. We can't afford to eat much, so we just put our hearts in our stomachs. Besides, your brother and I are rich, so it's enough to treat you to a meal." Xu Qingfeng patted Junzi on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Xu Qiusheng and Junzi went to deliver roe deer meat dumplings, and Xu Qingfeng went directly to the state-owned restaurant in the forest farm to order.

Xu Qingfeng also ate at the state-owned restaurant in the forest farm in his previous life.

State-owned hotel is also a term with a strong sense of the times.

There were no private hotels in the 1970s, they were all state-owned hotels.

The lowest level is also a street collective hotel.

Food stamps are required to eat.

Eat a bowl of noodles, three taels of food stamps plus 16 cents, including shredded pork and vegetables, a large amount to fill your stomach.

And they are all real materials.

Xu Qingfeng still had a lot of food stamps on him, so he didn't panic at all.

Entering the hotel, Xu Qingfeng looked around. The decoration here was much taller than that in the cafeteria.

The staff at the forest farm are of good quality, and quite a few people go to the restaurant.

Looking at the slogan written in red letters on a white background on the wall of the state-owned hotel, Xu Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh.

Just like the supply and marketing cooperatives, the chefs and waiters in state-owned restaurants also have iron bowl rice.

In this day and age, that's all nonsense.

Equivalent to civil servants in later generations, when girls today are looking for a partner, their first choice is to find a waiter in a hotel or a salesperson in a store.

It can be said that people who work here have priority in choosing a spouse.

However, state-owned hotels will not be as popular as they are now in ten years.

By that time, private hotels had emerged, and state-owned hotels had competitors.

But a lean camel is bigger than a horse. In the 1980s, in the early days of the emergence of private hotels, state-owned hotels still relied on their good reputation and advantages within the system to occupy most of the market.

It was not until the 1990s, when the economic system reform deepened, that state-owned hotels lost their competitiveness and gradually declined.

When supply and marketing cooperatives, state-owned hotels, and various state-owned enterprises withdrew from the stage of history, it also announced that an era of state-owned enterprises had come to an end.

After the turn of the millennium, state-owned hotels have basically disappeared.

Xu Qingfeng found an empty table and sat down. There was a chopstick tube on the table. Next to the chopstick tube was the table's number plate.

This is similar to the hotels of later generations.

In addition to these, there is also a menu.

Xu Qingfeng looked at the prices of the dishes above and found that they were still very affordable.

Most are one or two pieces.

Even meat dishes such as fried meat and chicken drumsticks only cost 1.5-2 yuan per plate.

Who said it was expensive?

Compared to a pair of jeans that costs tens of dollars, a pair of jeans costs more than a hundred dollars. If you go to a restaurant to eat, they are simply the most cost-effective.

But this is also related to the underdevelopment of light industry in our country in the 1970s and 1980s.

Xu Qingfeng knew that his father and his brother were here, but he was reluctant to order. He would probably only order a few large steamed buns and some shredded potatoes.

So he ordered directly.

A total of 6 dishes were ordered with a combination of meat and vegetables.

The dishes in state-owned restaurants here in the Northeast are economical, affordable, and large in quantity.

6 dishes are definitely enough for them to eat.

And these dishes, plus rice, all cost only 12 yuan.

Xu Qingfeng ordered two more bottles of Beidacang wine.

The reputation of this wine in Northeast China is comparable to that of Moutai.

Originally, Xu Qingfeng wanted to order Maotai, but after thinking about it, he hadn't drank Beidacang for a long time, so he replaced Maotai with Beidacang.

One bottle of Maotai can buy ten bottles of Beidacang.

The wine tastes good too.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have spread for so long.

The winery in Beidacang was established in 1912.

At that time, the name was not called Beidacang, but "Juyuan Yongshao Pot".

In the Northeast, there is a popular saying that grandfather's grandfather drank Beidacang, and his grandson's grandson also drank Beidacang. Beidacang wine is drank by generations of Beidacang.

This sentence is true.

Although this wine has left the Northeast, not many people know about it.

But even in 2023, Beidacang still has a large number of die-hard fans in the Northeast.

After ordering, Xu Qingfeng called the waiter to take away the menu.

After paying the money, the waiter issued Xu Qingfeng a ticket for purchasing the meal and wrote the table number on it.

This will make it easier to wait for the food to be served.

After the waiter left, Xu Qingfeng looked at the menu again.

What he ordered today were all affordable meals. Those expensive dishes were also available in state-owned restaurants.

The state-owned hotel here at the forest farm is especially famous for its delicacies from the mountains and wild fields.

In the 1970s and 1980s, you could even eat dishes such as flying dragon and bear paws that were included in the protection list in later generations.

Of course, the prices of these dishes are also very impressive.

A plate of bear paws, 200 yuan.

The price of Feilong is also over 120 yuan.

However, it is understandable that the flying dragon Xu Qingfeng sold to Mr. Li for 80 each. Of course, the restaurant also has to make money.

While Xu Qingfeng was looking at the menu, his father Xu Heping and brother Xu Qiusheng also came.

There are also two soldiers, father and son.

"Dad, Uncle Wang." Xu Qingfeng stood up and said hello.

After everyone was seated, the dishes began to be served.

"Why did you order the food? My dear, you ordered so many dishes. These dishes are not cheap." Uncle Wang exclaimed.

Four meat and two vegetables, plus two bottles of Beidacang.

"It's not expensive, Dad, Uncle Wang, let's finally have a meal together. Don't talk about money, just enjoy the meal." Xu Qingfeng opened a bottle of Beidacang and poured it for several people.

Xu Heping smiled bitterly and shook his head.

On the way here, he also heard from the boss that Xiaofeng had been doing business in the black market these two days, and yesterday he also shot a roe deer. The roe deer meat dumplings they got just now were.

He was naturally very surprised when he heard the news.

Xu Heping returned to the forest farm the day before yesterday, so he didn't know what happened at home these two days.

Uncle Wang heard that two boys from the Xu family had beaten a roe deer, and he praised their good luck.

Xu Heping and Uncle Wang had actually heard about Xu Qingfeng's black market business.

But not seriously.

In their view, doing business is not a long-term plan.

Even if it is very profitable now, who knows when the wind will change again and no business will be allowed.

So they think this is quick money.

Speculation is a crime, but it has not yet been abolished.
