In two months, Han Ze's noodle stall has formed a fixed customer base. Most of those who have money in their pockets don't mind spending ten yuan on a bowl of noodles. They have their own opinions. In their minds, the noodles are worth the price. Even if the noodle stall is simple, they are willing to pay for it. Those who don't have money in their pockets know that the noodles sold in this noodle stall are expensive, so they won't even ask.
Although Shuangji Town is just a township market, the market is very large and bustling. There are many wealthy and powerful families in the town. Generally speaking, wealthy people like to eat. Not only do they like to eat, they also like to eat something novel.
Knowing that there is such a delicious noodle stall in the town, most people have come to eat there. Most of them will come again after eating there once. If conditions permit, they will come to eat a bowl of noodles whenever there is a market day and Han Ze sets up a noodle stall. This has become a habit for many people in Shuangji Town.
Xiao Wang from the police station loves to eat and is very picky. Ever since he ate the noodles sold at Han Ze's noodle stall, he can no longer eat noodles made by others. He wishes Han Ze would set up a stall every day.
After waiting for a long time for the market day, Xiao Wang got up early and waited expectantly at the place where Han Ze used to set up his stall, but he never saw Han Ze, and there was no noodle stall either.
I felt so lost.
I wanted to run to Han Ze's house, grab his collar and ask him why he didn't come to set up the stall, causing him to not be able to eat the delicious noodles. You know, he depends on this bowl of noodles to live.
Fortunately, he still had some sense and knew that he was a civil servant and could not do anything illegal. He could only think that since he couldn't eat noodles today, he would have to eat more next time there was a market to make up for today's.
There were many people who had the same idea as Xiao Wang, all waiting to eat an extra bowl of noodles at the next market. But when the market day came again, Han Ze still didn't come out to set up his stall, which made those who were used to eating noodles at Han Ze's stall anxious. Did Han Ze stop selling noodles in the future, or was he delayed by something at home
If Xiao Wang didn't eat the noodles from Han Ze's noodle stall, he felt like he was going crazy. During his break, he asked around why Han Ze didn't come to set up the stall.
After asking around, he found out that the owner of the pork stall was Han Ze's cousin. Zhang Lei knew why Han Ze didn't come to set up the stall. After all, it was he who accompanied Han Ze to the hospital for a sterilization operation. This was Han Ze's privacy. Even if the other party was from the police station, he didn't intend to tell him. He just said that Han Ze had something to do and could only come to set up the stall after a while.
When Xiao Wang heard this, he felt disappointed. How long does a while mean? They should at least give a specific number of days. Zhang Lei looked at Xiao Wang and insisted on not telling the truth.
Han Ze rested at home for half a month and finally showed up in town. When the diners waiting at Han Ze's noodle stall saw him coming, their eyes lit up and their mouths watered. They could finally eat noodles, and they waited eagerly for him to boil water and cook noodles. Some people even offered to help him light the fire.
Han Ze looked apologetic and said, "I have something to do today and don't have time to sell noodles."
When the diners heard his words, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured over their heads, and their hearts went cold. But someone with a smart mind turned his eyes and asked, "Chef Han, if you want to do something, just do it. After you finish the work, you can set up a stall to sell noodles. We will wait for you."
When the diners heard what the man said, their eyes lit up and they all agreed, willing to wait for him. They were willing to do anything for a bowl of noodles.
Han Ze hesitated and explained, "Registering the child is a bit troublesome, and I may not be able to finish it in the morning."
"Register for household registration? Do you have all the documents? It won’t take long if you have all the documents complete." Xiao Wang said with a smile.
"Xiao Wang is from the police station. You can find him when you want to register your household registration." Someone said.
Han Ze was stunned. He didn't expect that the handsome young man who often ate noodles at the noodle stall was actually from the police station. He said awkwardly, "It's better not to trouble Xiao Wang."
The fourth and fifth girls were born out of wedlock and had no birth permits, only birth certificates. Their documents were definitely incomplete, so they could only pay a fine to register their children.
"No trouble, no trouble, this is my job. Let's go, let's quickly register the child's household registration, and then you can set up a stall." Xiao Wang was obviously more anxious than Han Ze.
Han Ze walked behind Xiao Wang, who smiled and said, "Chef Han, have you ever considered setting up a stall even when there is no market?"
Han Ze touched his head and said naively, "I have no plans for now. I have a young child at home and need to take care of him. If I could rent a store in town and bring the adults and children to town, it would be possible. However, it is too difficult to find a suitable store in our town."
Xiao Wang nodded. There were a lot of customers in their town, so it was not easy to find a good store without acquaintances.
Han Ze followed Xiao Wang to his office. Han Ze put the prepared documents and a pile of money in his bag on the desk in front of Xiao Wang. Xiao Wang was startled and waved his hands, "Chef Han, what are you doing? I don't accept bribes."
Han Ze smiled innocently: "This is a fine. The child is an extra birth. Isn't it stipulated that a fine must be paid before the child can be registered?"
Xiao Wang breathed a sigh of relief. There were many cases of paying fines and registering children. He alone had to handle several cases every day. He said, "It's a boy, right?"
Generally, people pay the fine and register their household registration only when they give birth to a boy. It is less common to pay the fine and register the household registration when a girl is born.
Han Ze pushed the information in front of Xiao Wang and said nervously, "Girls, two girls, you decide how much the fine is. If it's not enough, I'll find another way and change the names of the three girls above."
Xiao Wang opened Han Ze's household registration book and the information he brought and carefully checked them page by page. Han Chu's family gave birth to five girls in a row? How unlucky must they be to have so many girls? Then he began to admire him a little bit, for keeping so many girls by his side and not giving them away.
After checking the last page, Xiao Wang was stunned. It turned out to be a sterilization report. He looked at Han Ze: "Chef Han, is this the sterilization report?"
He saw many families hiding from others just to have a son, but he was surprised that Han Chu actually took the initiative to get a sterilization and gave up having a son.
Han Ze smiled and nodded, saying sincerely: "In order to comply with the national family planning policy, I will not have another child. I have to comply with the national policy anyway."
Xiao Wang's mouth twitched slightly. Why did you give birth to so many girls in accordance with the national policy
Han Ze looked at his expression, knew what he was thinking, and explained: "My mother insisted that we have children, and we as sons had no choice but to have one. We already have five girls, so there is no need to have more. So I went to the hospital to have a vasectomy without telling my family. Even though they didn't want to, there was nothing we could do."
Xiao Wang didn't expect that Han Chu was such an upright and law-abiding person. He gave a thumbs up and praised him, saying, "If everyone had Han Chu's ideas, the country wouldn't have to be so strict in implementing the family planning policy."
Han Ze touched his head and said, "I am not well educated, and I am afraid of breaking the law. I will do whatever the country tells me to do. It is absolutely right to follow the country's policies."
Xiao Wang was even happier and said with a smile: "Based on your idea, I will also register the children's household registration."
What's more, Chef Han's cooking skills are so good. If he tries to please him now, maybe he can even eat other food made by him.
Han Ze smiled.
"Chef Han, tell me the children's names and I'll fill them out." Xiao Wang said, "After the household registration is done, let's go set up the stall."
Han Ze was stunned for a moment, then said, "I'll go set up the stall."
"Yes, yes, it's you who set up the stall. I haven't had breakfast yet, so I'm waiting for your noodles to satisfy my craving. You can't stay away from setting up the stall for so long next time." Xiao Wang said, "The fine for two children won't be that much. You can take the rest back."
Han Ze watched Xiao Wang fill in the names of several girls in the household registration book one by one, and his heart finally relaxed.
