Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

Chapter 404 Spending a lot of money, old man Zhou was shocked

afternoon.

 Super mansion in Wuyue Plaza.

Deng Shirong cooked a large table of delicious food to entertain his mother-in-law and eldest sister who came from afar.

“My in-laws, I used to eat this white cut when I was at my parents’ house. The taste is not bad, but compared with the taste you make, it’s far behind.”

Gu's mother tasted a piece of plain-cut chicken and said with praise: "The last time I ate it, I just wanted to say that the plain-cut chicken you made has a very special fragrance, and the more I eat it, the better it gets. It’s so memorable! It’s amazing!”

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "My mother-in-law, our Bo Bai Bai cut is famous for its deliciousness. Besides the heat, the key to delicious food is the ingredients themselves and the secret sauce and condiments.

Let’s talk about the ingredients first. Let’s take this plain-cut chicken as an example. It must use free-range chickens that have been raised for more than a year. The meat of the plain-cut chicken made from such native chickens will definitely become better as you chew it. Fragrant, this is not comparable to the feed chickens bought in the market.

There are also seasonings and condiments. Different white cuts will be paired with different sauces and condiments. This is also extremely important. If your mother-in-law wants to learn, I will teach you how to prepare the sauces and condiments for this white cut. It will definitely work. Can make this fragrant white cut. "

Mother Gu smiled happily and said, "In-laws, let's make an agreement and teach me how to do this later. Your skills are really amazing."

Gu Caiwei also smiled and answered: "Dad, you can teach me later. If Yunheng wants to eat it, I can make it for him."

Deng Shirong nodded and said: "No problem, this white cut dish is actually the easiest dish to learn. As long as the sauce and condiments are mixed well, even if the ingredients are not good enough and the heat is not well controlled, the taste will still not be too bad.

Of course, it would be better if the ingredients and the heat can be controlled well, as they can complement each other and take the taste to the next level. "

Gu Caixiao said with a smile: "Weiwei, originally I was worried that you would have a bad appetite during pregnancy and would not be able to eat anything, but with my father-in-law here, I am only worried that you will eat too much and gain weight. "

Gu Caiwei stretched out her hand to touch her belly and said with some worry: "It doesn't matter if I am fat. After giving birth, I should be able to slowly lose weight. Now I am afraid that the nutrition is too good and the baby in my belly will become fat." , then you will suffer when you are born.”

Deng Shirong continued: "Weiwei, don't feel any psychological burden on this. It's a good thing that the fetus is developing well. This woman really has to suffer when she gives birth to a child. This has nothing to do with whether the fetus is developing well or not.

 If the fetus is nutritionally balanced, its immunity will be greatly improved after birth and it will grow healthily. If the fetus is malnourished, it will be weak and sickly after birth.

When we were poor in the past, many children died. The main reason was that women had little to eat when they were pregnant, and the fetuses were severely lacking in nutrients. If their immunity was not good after birth, it really meant that they would die in infancy. "

Mother Gu said: "Weiwei, my father-in-law is right. Maintaining balanced nutrition during pregnancy is good for the child's future growth."

Gu Caiwei smiled and said: "Mom, I was just talking casually, I know the severity."

“Okay, mother-in-law, sister, let’s eat quickly, the food will be cold if we keep talking.”

 “Well, let’s eat!”

 …

 The next day.

Deng Shirong’s troops were divided into two groups:

 Deng Shirong took his young daughter to the station and got on the bus to Guangzhou.

 Along the way, Gu's mother took her two daughters and returned to her parents' home with many gifts selected by her in-laws, escorted by bodyguards and drivers.

 After riding for nearly ten hours, Deng Shirong and his youngest daughter finally arrived in Guangzhou in the evening.

Guangzhou is indeed famous for its food. Even at night in this era, you can still feel the super charm of this food city. Deng Shirong took his little daughter to a very popular fried rice stall and ordered two. The dry-fried beef river is famous in the fried noodle world.

While sitting down to wait, Deng Yunzhu said curiously: "Gan Chao Niu He, how come this name is so strange?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "Niu refers to beef, and He refers to rice noodles, so it has such a name."

Deng Yunzhu was surprised and said: "Using beef to stir-fry noodles? This is quite strange." In this era, dry-fried beef noodles are not as common as in later generations, and Deng Yunzhu has never tasted this stir-fried noodles.

Deng Shirong said: "Speaking of the invention of dry-fried beef, he was actually forced to come up with it."

Deng Yunzhu likes to listen to her father’s stories about food the most. She quickly asked: “Dad, how did you get this dry-fried beef noodle?”

When Deng Shirong was obsessed with cooking in his previous life, he spent a lot of time studying delicious food and the stories behind each dish: "The founder of this dry-fried beef dish is named Xu Bin. It was during the period when the Japanese invaded China and Guangzhou had fallen. He and his parents ran a wonton noodle business on Yangxiang Road. However, the business was slow at that time and it was difficult to maintain the wonton noodle business alone, so he also ran a fried rice noodle business.

  In the past, stir-fried rice noodles were fried, that is, stir-fried and topped with gravy. The gravy used was inseparable from corn starch (soybean flour).

One night, the stall had just run out of cornstarch. I wanted to buy some but was blocked by a checkpoint set up by the Japanese invaders. There was nothing I could do.

By chance, a Japanese detective arrived. After smoking, he wanted to eat fried rice noodles as a late-night snack. Xu Bin's father had a temperament and would never make it if the ingredients were insufficient, so he refused and said that there were not enough ingredients to fry it. However, the detective Kou was unreasonable and insisted on eating. In the end, he pulled out a pistol and threatened.

After the quarrel continued, Xu Bin's mother came out to smooth things over and sent Xu Bin to stir-fry noodles.

As a result, people were in a hurry and came up with a way to stir-fry the gordon without using it: first fry the onions in a wok with oil, stir-fry the bean sprouts, add flour and stir-fry, and then put the oiled beef into the wok and stir-fry together. .

I didn’t expect that the noodles fried in this way would be particularly delicious. The detective came here every night to order this kind of fried noodles.

At that time, it was not easy to earn a few extra cents to buy cornstarch. The Xu family was happy to save the money to buy cornstarch, so they specially prepared "dry fried beef river" and served it with Guilin chili sauce. Later, a restaurant owner took a fancy to this kind of delicacy and took it to restaurants to sell it. Teahouses and restaurants also rushed to imitate it.

Since then, this cheap street snack has made its way to the "elegant hall" and has become the famous dry-fried beef river. "

Deng Yunzhu said: "It turns out that this is how the fried beef river is made. Dad, you said it so mysteriously, I don't know how it tastes."

Deng Shirong said: "This delicacy must taste good, but whether it tastes good or not depends on the performance of the chef. This late-night snack stall is very popular. I think the chef's skills are passable, but the fried beef river should be inferior." Not going anywhere.”

Deng Yunzhu said expectantly: "Then I want to have a good taste."

Since business was good, the father and daughter waited for nearly half an hour before two portions of fried beef were served.

The father and daughter were really hungry. As soon as the two portions of rice noodles were served, they picked up their chopsticks and ate them.

Deng Yunzhu took two bites in a row before she couldn't help but praise: "Dad, you are right. The taste of this dry-fried beef river is really good and delicious."

 “Well, it tastes really good.” Deng Shirong also praised.

 No wonder there are people queuing up at this late-night snack stall, and the number of diners has not decreased. I guess the reputation of this late-night snack stall has spread around the area.

This dry-fried beef river is also a delicacy that is very suitable for late-night snacks. If his night market street is really developed in the future, it will just need merchants with this kind of skills to settle in. As long as there are enough such merchants, then there is no need to worry that this night market street is not prosperous. !

Deng Shirong wrote down this address and will contact him again if there is a chance.

 …

 Early the next morning.

Deng Shirong took his young daughter to the restaurant downstairs to meet Lao Zhou and Lao Huang.

Anyway, there are no special circumstances. These two old guys will come here every morning to drink morning tea.

As expected, after Deng Shirong and his daughter came down, they saw Old Man Zhou and Old Man Huang at a glance.

After greeting each other, Deng Shirong couldn't help but ask: "Lao Zhou, Lao Huang, at what time did you two get up? Why did you come so early?"

Old man Zhou smiled and said: "Uncle Jiu, Lao Huang and I both got up at 5:30 in the morning. The place where we live is not far from here. It only takes ten minutes to walk here. Basically before 6 o'clock , we can all come here.”

Deng Shirong sighed: "It seems that the morning tea business is not easy to do. Even the diners come so early. So there are so many refreshments to be made, why don't we start making them in the middle of the night?"

Old man Huang nodded and said: "The refreshments here are all fresh. They will indeed start making them at midnight."

 After ordering a few signature refreshments, they started chatting while eating.

After chatting for a while, Deng Shirong asked about the business: "Lao Zhou, where is the shop you helped find?"

Old man Zhou said: "My eldest son-in-law who works in the Public Security Bureau helped me find this shop. It's about four or five kilometers away from here. It used to be a wholesale site, and the customer flow is still OK. I'll take you with me after you finish your morning tea. Just go and see.”

Deng Shirong said: "Old Zhou, this matter has troubled you."

 Old man Zhou smiled and said: "Uncle Jiu is too polite, it's just a little effort, it's nothing."

It is said to be a piece of cake, but Deng Shirong and his daughter are both in business, so they naturally understand that finding a shop is the most troublesome. In particular, Deng Yunzhu's hotpot restaurant has very high requirements for the shop, which requires both a large area and a good location. Such a shop is really It's not something you can find casually.

Deng Shirong didn't say much about this. If the two became in-laws, then Lao Zhou, as the male parent, should behave like this. If the two of them can't become in-laws, then just think of it as a favor to Lao Zhou, and just find a way to repay it later.

Since I have to go to the shop later, today’s morning tea is naturally not like before, where I eat it right away until the afternoon.

 While eating and chatting, around nine o'clock in the morning, we ended our morning tea.

Then, after leaving Old Man Huang, Old Man Zhou took Deng Shirong and his daughter by car to see the shops.

In this era, Guangzhou has many human-powered tricycles in addition to buses. As for the three-wheeled motorcycles used to carry passengers, which are popular across the country, it will take a few years to become popular.

 Half an hour later. Old man Zhou brought Deng Shirong and his daughter to their destination. He pointed to the shop in front and said, "Uncle Jiu, Ah Zhu, this is the shop I told you about. Do you think the location here is suitable?"

Deng Shirong and his daughter began to look around and found that, as Lao Zhou said, the passenger flow here was good. Even though it was not commuting time, there were still many vehicles and pedestrians coming and going.

There are many shops and even restaurants nearby, so it is indeed suitable for opening a hot pot restaurant.

Deng Shirong nodded and said, "Old Zhou, this location is really good."

Deng Yunzhu also thanked you and said, "Uncle Zhou, thank you!"

Old man Zhou smiled and said: "As long as you are satisfied, if you are sure you want to rent this shop, I will contact the landlord to sign the contract."

Deng Shirong looked at his youngest daughter and said, "Azhu, this is your own property, you make the decision yourself!"

Deng Yunzhu said: "Uncle Zhou, please invite the landlord here. I rent this shop."

 Old man Zhou said with a smile on his face: "Okay, then you guys wait for me here and I'll make a call over there."

 …

 Twenty minutes later, the landlord rushed over.

This landlord is a middle-aged man in his forties. After coming over, he immediately greeted old man Zhou: "Uncle Zhou."

Old man Zhou nodded and introduced: "Boss Chen, let me introduce to you. This is Boss Deng who wants to rent your shop. This is her father, Uncle Jiu."

Boss Chen immediately greeted: "Uncle Jiu, Boss Deng, hello!"

 “Hello, Boss Chen!”

After greeting each other, Boss Chen took out the key, opened the door of the shop, and said: "Uncle Jiu, Boss Deng, please come in and talk!"

Deng Shirong and his daughter followed the landlord and Old Man Zhou into the shop. The space of more than 300 square meters is still very good. After some decoration and renovation, it will be a very qualified hot pot restaurant.

Boss Chen said: "Boss Deng, do you know the rent of this shop?"

Deng Yunzhu nodded and said, "Uncle Zhou told me."

Boss Chen said: "Then do you have any objections to the rent?"

Deng Yunzhu shook his head and said: "The rent set by Boss Chen is still very reasonable. I have no objection."

Boss Chen said with a smile: "That's natural. Captain Qin personally greeted me. Naturally, I will give you the best price for rent. I don't know how many years you plan to rent this store, Boss Deng."

Deng Yunzhu thought for a while and asked: "Boss Chen, I would like to ask, do you want to sell this shop?"

Boss Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He obviously did not expect that Deng Yunzhu would ask such a question. It was just like a tenant who was originally going to rent a house suddenly asked the landlord if the house was for sale. No matter which landlord heard such a question, he would feel Accident.

In addition to the accident, Boss Chen was a little moved. It happened that his son's study abroad required a lot of expenses. Even if he rented out the shop, the rent received would still be only a drop in the bucket and not enough to support his son's study abroad expenses.

 There are two ways to study abroad in this era: one is to study abroad through government dispatch, and the other is to study abroad at one's own expense.

Obviously, the government does not send many students to study abroad. Most international students study abroad at their own expense. Many people borrow money and work to raise the cost of studying abroad. With their own efforts and family support, they have the opportunity to go abroad and study abroad. to overseas.

 Boss Chen’s son is one of those studying abroad at his own expense.

Originally, he was still worried about how to afford his son's high study abroad expenses in the next few years. Now that Boss Deng has the idea of ​​buying a shop, he might as well sell the shop. If he can save some money, he should It is enough to pay for my son’s study abroad for several years.

Thinking of this, Boss Chen said with a smile on his face: "Sell, of course. Boss Deng, you don't want to rent anymore, do you plan to buy it?"

Deng Yunzhu smiled and said: "It is still a bit troublesome to rent a shop. If the price is fair, I would rather buy it."

Boss Chen said happily: "Don't worry, Boss Deng, if you really want to buy it, I will definitely give you a fair price."

Hearing this, Old Man Zhou was also very surprised. It was agreed that he was here to rent a shop, but suddenly it turned into buying a shop. This change was really too fast.

 Furthermore, renting a shop and buying a shop require completely different levels of funds.

It seems that he still underestimated the financial resources of the Deng family. If he dared to offer to buy more than 300 square meters of shop, the financial resources would probably exceed his previous imagination.

Deng Shirong was quite pleased to hear this. He had told his children before that if he finds a suitable store for the next branch, he will buy it first if conditions permit. If the landlord refuses to sell or the asking price is too high, he will use it instead. It’s never too late to rent.

　　Obviously, the younger daughter has heard what he said, so now she wants to change the rent to a purchase.

 One wants to buy, the other wants to sell, and the two parties naturally hit it off.

In terms of price, perhaps because of Mr. Zhou’s eldest son-in-law’s reputation, the other party was indeed not too aggressive and offered a more reasonable price of 560,000.

It’s about 1,800 per square meter. This is a shop in a big city like Guangzhou. Although this is not the most prosperous area in Guangzhou, Boss Chen’s shop is in a good location. It only sells for about 1,800 per square meter. It’s really very fair. The price is up.

Deng Yunzhu’s net worth has already exceeded one million. She can easily come up with the money without her father’s help.

Then, Old Man Zhou witnessed history and watched helplessly as his "quasi-daughter-in-law" spent a lot of money and bought the more than 300 square meters of shop very proudly.

 This scene gave Old Man Zhou a big shock.

Their family eats royal food, and their financial situation is better than that of most families. However, the family's savings are still quite limited. If something happens and the whole family needs to pool money together, they can collect tens of thousands of yuan without going out to borrow from outsiders. Already very good.

Of course, if you go out to find someone to borrow money, with their family’s connections, it’s no problem to raise a million or several hundred thousand.

After all, they are all on royal rations. With a job like this, it is very easy to find someone to borrow money. If you ask a few more people to borrow money, you can easily borrow a large amount of money. The whole family can borrow it from relatives and friends together, and then it can be done together. It's really not difficult to make one million or several hundred thousand.

 In later generations, news often appeared, that is, someone owed a huge debt of millions to relatives, friends, classmates, and colleagues because of gambling or other reasons.

However, this so-and-so’s salary is only a few thousand yuan a month, but because he or she has such a stable job with royal food, he or she is inherently easier to trust than those idle people in society, so he or she can owe Put down so much debt.

However, being able to borrow money is not a skill. Mr. Zhou and his family were able to get tens of thousands of yuan, while Deng Yunzhu easily spent 560,000 yuan to buy this shop. The economic gap is really too big.

I used to think that Deng Yunzhu’s hot pot restaurant would be very good if it could earn 108,000 yuan a year. However, it seems that they have underestimated the income of the hot pot restaurant. To be precise, they have underestimated the income of Deng Yunzhu Hotpot.

 …

afternoon.

At a restaurant near the Ministry of Finance in Beijing, Deng Yunsong once again invited his beautiful colleague Pei Qinghua to dinner.

Since the last time the two of them had dinner together, Deng Yunsong invited Pei Qinghua to dinner every now and then.

At this time, the two were already very familiar friends. While eating, Pei Qinghua said: "Chief Deng, you have invited me to dinner these days. You can't steal this meal from me again. You must Give me a chance to invite you back."

Deng Yunsong smiled and said: "Chief Pei, why bother with this issue? For a beautiful woman like you, no one else will have a chance to treat you to dinner. If you are willing to treat me to dinner, this is enough for me. What else can I do?" I deserve your treat!"

Pei Qinghua said with a wide smile: "Your mouth is really like honey, but this code is the same code. We have just joined the work this year. Although the salary is quite high, it is just enough to live on. You are just doing it every now and then." If you invite me to a restaurant for dinner, how can you spend so much on the salary you receive?"

Deng Yunsong smiled and said: "The salary I get from my job is indeed not enough to squander, but although I am from a rural area, my family's conditions are not bad. Not to mention just treating you to dinner every now and then, I can afford to treat you to dinner every day. "

Pei Qinghua blinked and said, "I didn't expect that you are still a little rich man!"

Deng Yunsong smiled and said, "I made you laugh."

Pei Qinghua said: "However, although you are not short of money, I still have to pay for today's meal. This is the way to get along with each other."

Deng Yunsong saw that she was not being polite, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll let you invite me today, and I'll invite you again tomorrow. Is that okay?"

Pei Qinghua smiled and said, "No problem."

 Next, the two of them chatted while eating. There were so many common topics that they felt like they couldn't stop talking.

The two of them ate this meal for about an hour and a half before finishing it.

Because we had agreed in advance, Pei Qinghua was the one who paid the bill today, and Deng Yunsong did not compete with her.

 After leaving the hotel, the two of them walked back to the courtyard together.

Going downstairs to where Pei Qinghua lived, she waved to him: "Chief Deng, I'll go up first. See you tomorrow."

Deng Yunsong also waved and said, "Okay, see you tomorrow."
