Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

evening.

Deng Shirong was hosting a banquet in his villa to entertain Director Xie and his party, accompanied by executives from Naye Film and Television Company.

Before starting to eat, Director Xie picked up the wine glass and said solemnly: "Mr. Deng, I would like to lend you a glass of flowers and offer a Buddha to you. Thank you for your strong support to our crew."

Deng Shirong picked up the wine glass and clinked it with him, and said with a smile: "Thank you for being polite. It has been more than 150 years since Hong Kong left the motherland. Now it is finally returning to the embrace of the motherland, and our generation is all It is an honor for me to be a witness of history and to be able to contribute to such an important moment.”

Director Xie drank the small glass of wine and nodded repeatedly: "Mr. Deng said this very well. It is indeed our honor for our generation to be able to witness history and contribute our own strength at such an important moment." !”

Deng Shirong picked up his chopsticks and said, "Director Xie, everyone, don't look at me. How about you try my craftsmanship?"

"You have to give it a try. Being able to let Mr. Deng cook the dishes himself is a treat that many big leaders don't have!"

"Yes, when we go back and tell our friends that we have eaten the food cooked by Mr. Deng himself, I will probably envy them to death."

"Oh my god, Mr. Deng, your skills are really amazing!"

"It's delicious. I haven't had such delicious food in a long time."

"I didn't expect Mr. Deng to be so knowledgeable about food."

"..."

After tasting the food prepared by Deng Shirong, Director Xie and others were all full of praise and were amazed.

They really never expected that the famous CEO of Deng Group would have such excellent cooking skills, and the food he cooked would taste no worse than those of famous chefs. It was really eye-opening for them.

After almost eating and drinking, Deng Shirong ordered Huang Zonghan, the boss of Naye Film and Television Company: "Mr. Huang, please ask someone to prepare an investment contract. It has been less than two years since the return of Hong Kong. This "Opium War" must be rushed It was released before the return of Hong Kong, so there was not much time left for Director Xie.

We can’t help with anything else, but we definitely can’t waste Director Xie’s time when it comes to funding and location construction. "

Huang Zonghan nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Deng, I'll have someone prepare the contract right now."

Deng Shirong added: "Remember to specify in the contract that if "The Opium War" makes money after its release, then our film and television company will not charge a penny. We only need to get back the investment capital.

If "The Opium War" loses money after its release, no matter how much the loss is, our company will bear it. "

Anyway, this movie is destined to be a hit at the box office, so I might as well make things more beautiful so as to sell a favor to Director Xie.

Although this old man is just a director in the film and television industry, the directors of this era are different from the directors of later generations. The most powerful directors of later generations may not necessarily be qualified to be interviewed by big leaders, but this old man in front of him That is someone who can sit and talk with big leaders.

This person's favor is quite valuable. Even if the other party just praises Deng Group or Deng Shirong's benevolence when communicating with the big leaders, the investment will definitely be worthwhile.

Hearing these words, Director Xie was moved to tears.

This kind of businessman who invests tens or even hundreds of millions in his movie not for money, but purely for the sake of his family and country is really rare. If there is an opportunity in the future, he must repay Mr. Deng for his kindness. his support.

The other creative staff also looked at Deng Shirong with admiration. Mr. Deng was really courageous.

That night, at the villa of Deng Shirong's family, the two parties signed this unique investment agreement.

The next day, Director Xie and his team happily returned home to make final preparations for the filming of "The Opium War".

…

Nanning.

Wuyue Plaza mansion.

In the room, Deng Yuntai and Zhang Xiuping were playing cards.

Playing cards as a couple is undoubtedly a very happy thing, but it is somewhat awkward for couples at this age to play cards.

Because a man's peak period for playing cards is generally between the ages of seventeen or eighteen to twenty-five. At this age, it is completely okay to play seven card games in one night. He can eat three meals a day for a month without stopping. He really has endless energy.

But after the age of twenty-five, if you want to play seven card games in one night, you will really lose your energy.

You can eat three meals a day, but if you eat for a week, you will basically reach your limit. If you continue to eat, your body will really not be able to bear it.

The peak period for women playing cards is generally recognized to be between the ages of thirty and forty.

After all, thirty is like a wolf and forty is like a tiger!

Now Deng Yuntai is 36 years old according to the actual age, and his body is no longer in its prime, while Zhang Xiuping happens to be in its prime, so when the two of them play cards, Deng Yuntai is more technical and does not dare to fight with the opponent in a real way like he did when he was young. No one will obey anyone else when it comes to guns.

However, compared to being reckless with real swords and guns, taking the technical route is actually the best way to go.

Because if you act recklessly, you will only attack critically when both parties are in very good condition, but if you follow the technical flow, you can achieve the effect of critical strikes in every game. This is where middle-aged men are better than young men.

Deng Yuntai has more than ten years of practical experience, and has naturally honed his very good poker skills. After playing this game, both parties had a good experience.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Zhang Xiuping snuggled in her husband's arms and asked lazily, "Brother Tai, what kind of birthday gift should we give to Dad for his 60th birthday?"

Deng Yuntai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have asked people to prepare it a long time ago, and we should be able to get the real thing in the next few days."

Zhang Xiuping asked curiously, "Brother Tai, what have you prepared?"

Deng Yuntai said, "I asked a famous craftsman to make two golden birthday peaches, which will be perfect for Dad as a birthday gift."

Zhang Xiuping pondered and said, "This birthday peach is good, but it feels like something is missing."

Deng Yuntai Asked: "What else is missing?"

Zhang Xiuping thought for a while and said: "After all, this birthday peach is not made by us, so it lacks some thought. How about I find a pastry chef to teach me how to make a cake, and when my father's birthday comes, I will personally make a birthday cake for him."

Deng Yuntai's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Your idea is very good, then do it, and tell Xiao Dong'er and Dongzi by the way, and let them send birthday gifts to their grandfather."

"Well, I'll talk to them tomorrow."

"It's getting late, let's go to bed!"

...

Bobai County.

Naya Deng's Community.

Deng Yunzhen and Zhu Junjie were also discussing birthday gifts.

In the past, when my father celebrated his birthday, the family would just have a simple meal, so there was no need to prepare birthday gifts.

However, this is my father's 60th birthday, so the meaning is naturally different.

Zhu Junjie asked, "Ah Zhen, do you have any good ideas for Dad's birthday gift?"

Deng Yunzhen said, "Dad's biggest hobby in life is eating. I plan to make a 'Fu Lu Shou whole fish' on his birthday banquet to celebrate his birthday."

Zhu Junjie said, "Well, your idea is good. I plan to get something good for Dad."

Deng Yunzhen asked, "What good thing?"

Zhu Junjie said, "Tiger bone wine."

Deng Yunzhen was surprised and said, "Can you get tiger bone wine?"

This tiger bone wine was not a rare thing 20 or 30 years ago. Forget about anything else. Even the Bobai County Winery had authentic tiger bone wine for sale at that time.

However, things are different now. Since Bobai County organized township and village cadres and militia to conduct large-scale hunting in the spring and summer of 1953, a total of 25 tigers were killed. It is difficult to see tigers in Bobai.

In addition, 287,500 mu of forests were cut down in 1958 for steelmaking, and the living environment of wild animals in the entire Bobai area was severely damaged, and tigers were basically extinct.

Without tigers, tiger bone wine naturally disappeared.

The most important thing is that tigers have now been listed as national first-class protected animals, and tiger bone wine has gradually become a legend. Ordinary people can no longer taste this amazing tiger bone wine.

Tiger bone wine was first recorded in Sun Simiao's "Prescriptions for Emergencies", which has the functions of strengthening muscles and bones, strengthening waist and kidneys, and removing wind and cold. It is mainly used to treat kidney deficiency and weak bones, cold pain in the lower abdomen, walking weakness, and shoulder and arm pain. It is especially suitable for treating wind arthralgia and cold pain, limb cramps, liver and kidney deficiency, and weak waist and feet.

This thing is really good, but it's a pity that it's already the 1990s, and tiger bone wine has been banned from buying and selling. Except for some people's collections, you can't buy this good thing on the market no matter how much money you have.

Zhu Junjie was not sure after hearing this, and just said: "I once heard from a comrade of mine that his grandfather had hidden a few jars of tiger bone wine. I don't know if the tiger bone wine is still there. Even if the wine is still there, it is still unknown whether it can be obtained."

Deng Yunzhen said: "Then you contact your comrade and ask him. If you can get it, then it would be perfect to give this tiger bone wine to your father as a birthday gift."

Zhu Junjie nodded and said: "Well, I will call my comrade tomorrow. If the wine is still there, I will try my best to get it."

……

A family compound in Fuzhou.

Deng Yunheng asked, "Weiwei, how is the clothes you made for Dad?"

Gu Caiwei replied, "It's almost done. I'll finish the last pattern."

Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "Dad will be very happy when he wears the clothes you made for him on his birthday."

Gu Caiwei smiled and said, "My birthday gift is ready. What about yours? What do you plan to prepare for Dad?"

Deng Yunheng laughed and said, "You and I are husband and wife. Your birthday gift is naturally my birthday gift. Why should I prepare it specially?"

Gu Caiwei nodded and said, "That's true."

...

Guangzhou Zhou Family

Deng Yunzhu asked, "Brother Dong, what birthday gift are you going to prepare for Dad?"

Zhou Haidong said confidently, "Dad's biggest hobby is eating. I plan to prepare a top-quality ingredient for Dad."

Deng Yunzhu asked curiously, "What top-quality ingredient?"

Zhou Haidong said, "As the saying goes, food is in Guangzhou, chefs come from Fengcheng, and flavors are in Chaoshan. The top-quality ingredient I'm going to prepare for Dad is the famous conch in Chaoshan cuisine."

Deng Yunzhu is in the catering business and has been in Guangdong for several years. She not only knows about conch, but has also eaten it several times. The taste is indeed worthy of its name as a top-quality ingredient. Even the gourmet Cai Lan once commented, "Conch seems to represent the most tricky ingredient in Chaozhou cuisine."

Hearing her husband say that he would prepare this top-quality ingredient for his father, Deng Yunzhu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Brother Dong, your idea is good. Dad will definitely like it."

Zhou Haidong smiled and asked: "Azhu, what about you, what birthday gift have you prepared for dad?"

Deng Yunzhu said with a smile: "I prepared a photo album for dad. I arranged the photos of our family over the years according to time, and then wrote the background stories of when these photos were taken. I believe dad will like it."

Zhou Haidong couldn't help but praise: "Your idea is really brilliant, and I believe Dad will like it."

…

Yongkang, Zhejiang.

Deng Yunsong and Pei Qinghua were also discussing giving birthday gifts to their father.

Deng Yunsong asked: "Honey, what gift have you prepared for dad?"

Pei Qinghua replied: "My calligraphy skills are not bad, and I plan to prepare a hundred-year-old picture for dad. What about you, what gift have you prepared for dad?"

Deng Yunsong praised: "My wife, your idea is okay. Dad will definitely like the 100-year-old picture written by myself. I was a little lazy and asked a master to draw a birthday picture for Dad. I hope Dad likes it." "

Pei Qinghua smiled and said: "The decoration at home is all in ancient style. Dad should like calligraphy and painting works."

Deng Yunsong nodded, and then said with some emotion: "When I was young, my father worked hard every day to make pottery tiles in the pottery kiln, raised us seven brothers and sisters, and provided us with education. Dad still suffered a lot in those years. of.

It wasn’t until after the reform and opening up that Dad and Brother Yungui jointly contracted out the kiln to build the kiln, and the family’s life gradually improved.

At this moment, Dad will be celebrating his 60th birthday. Time flies so fast! "

"Due to work reasons, we definitely cannot stay with our father to fulfill our filial piety. We can only try our best to spend as much time as possible to go back and accompany him."

"Well, I will go back and spend time with his old man when I have time."

…

Deng Yunhua and Fan Yuemei are also preparing for their father's birthday gift.

Deng Yunhua was more vulgar and just spent money to buy a century-old wild ginseng for his father, while Fan Yuemei was more attentive and made a pair of cloth shoes for her father-in-law with her own hands. Naturally, she had to find someone to learn the shoemaking skills.

Although Deng Yunheng is still a student, he naturally has to prepare birthday gifts for his father's 60th birthday. His birthday gift is a pair of excellent walnuts.

As an intern doctor, Deng Yunheng gave his father a birthday gift, naturally for the sake of health.

Originally, walnuts were used to rub hands since the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning, they were just an auxiliary tool for court piano players to exercise and maintain finger flexibility. After long-term rubbing, the texture of walnuts became crimson and round, and the pulp was as shiny as jade and porcelain. It was used by other palaces. People loved it, and it gradually became popular and became one of the health-preserving tools, and then slowly spread to the people.

Because walnuts have auspicious meanings in folk customs, they are easily accepted by the people. More and more people are playing with them, forming a trend.

Zhu Youxiao, Emperor Tianqi of the Ming Dynasty, was engaged in carpentry. He also liked to play with walnuts and carve walnuts with his own hands. Therefore, there is an unofficial history spread among the people that "playing with walnuts and forgetting state affairs, Zhu Youxiao is responsible for the imperial affairs" is spread among the people.

During the Qing Dynasty, Wenwan walnuts reached the peak of development. There is a folk proverb that goes like this: "If you never leave your hand with walnuts, you can live for eighty-nine years. If you surpass Emperor Qianlong, the king of hell will not let you go." This thing has become popular all over the country. Hundreds of years must make sense.

It’s hard to say whether walnuts can live long, but playing with them for a long time should be good for people.

Therefore, Deng Yunheng thought it was quite appropriate to give this to his father as a birthday gift.

In addition, Xiao Dong'er and Dongzi also prepared birthday gifts for their grandfather.

The birthday gift Xiao Dong'er prepared was very simple. She just wrote a birthday congratulations article for her grandfather.

Although she is only in the second year of junior high school, she has already mastered almost all the knowledge in junior high school. In addition, writing essays has always been her strong point. This birthday celebration article is really written with great literary talent and is quite high-level.

As for Dongzi, he threatened to catch some fish himself to celebrate his grandfather's birthday.

…

While Deng Shirong's children were busy preparing birthday gifts for him, the classic "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was also successfully broadcast in the mainland.

Originally, according to the development trajectory of the previous life, this drama should be introduced by mainland TV stations three years later. After all, when "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" premiered on Hong Kong TVB, its ratings were not high, ranking only in the ratings that year. The fifth place in rate.

During this period, although the show was not introduced to the mainland, there was a video tape of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". I don't know if it was a pirated version.

It wasn't until three years later that a mainland TV station introduced the show, which immediately became a hit, triggering a crowd of thousands of people rushing to watch it.

In this life, perhaps due to the influence of Deng Shirong, the drama was introduced by mainland TV stations in advance, and the drama was named after Master Kong Iced Black Tea. This product has also been extremely popular in later generations, and it is naturally worth advertising. .

I have to say that this version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a real classic, especially Louis Koo who played Yang Guo. At this time, he was not the Hei Gu of later generations. The image he played was really the same as Yang Guo in the original work. There is a high degree of agreement. No matter whether it is Liu Tianwang's version or Huang's version, there is no way to compare with Principal Gu.

The Little Dragon Girl played by Li Ruotong is also a classic among classics.

Coupled with the tacit cooperation between the male and female protagonists, this version has become an unsurpassed classic.

Although Deng Shirong has watched this drama in his previous life, he can still watch it with gusto after watching it again after many years. This is the appeal of classics.

Unknowingly, time has arrived on the 24th day of the ninth lunar month.

This day is Deng Shirong's 60th birthday. Early in the morning, Naye Village began to slaughter pigs, cattle, and sheep. As for chickens, ducks, geese, fish, etc., they can start slaughtering in the afternoon, so there is no need to rush now.

In Shuangwang Territory, the most important thing is dinner, so birthday celebrations are naturally centered on dinner.

This birthday banquet is not only attended by the whole family, but also by many relatives and friends. Even all the medical staff and their families of Naye Hospital are invited to attend Deng Shirong's birthday banquet.

Of course, Deng Shirong didn't want to make such a big fuss, so he didn't invite his children and relatives, so that they wouldn't have to come all the way to celebrate his birthday.

The relatives and friends invited to this birthday banquet are all in Bobai Territory, and no one outside Bobai Territory is invited.

And Deng Shirong's seven children returned to Naye Village with their families as early as yesterday.
