Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

Whether professional or amateur chefs in my country, they all have the same habit, that is, when eating alone, they basically try to make do with what they can, and do it as simply as possible. If they have the conditions, they will eat out directly, and they are too lazy to cook at home.

There is no doubt that Deng Shirong is also such a person.

Before, whether in Nanning or in his hometown, there were more people eating, so Deng Shirong naturally cooked often.

But now his children have their own careers to be busy, and he is alone in his hometown, so he naturally has no interest in cooking.

Today, I feel like eating hot pot, so Deng Shirong walked towards his own Litchi Mountain.

The house is not far from Litchi Mountain, and it only takes a few minutes to walk there. Deng Shirong did not drive a motorcycle, but walked towards Litchi Mountain with his hands behind his back.

When passing by the old house before, seeing the villa of his eldest brother's house, Deng Shirong couldn't help but sigh.

When his eldest brother was in Taiwan, his health was already very bad. According to the doctor, the ideal state was to hold on for two or three years. As a result, there was naturally no miracle. Three years ago, his eldest brother ran out of energy and passed away.

The eldest sister-in-law was in good health and should have lived for another ten or eight years, but after the eldest brother passed away, she became ill with longing for him and died within two years.

In addition, the old clan leader Deng Shi'an also passed away last year.

Now, in the entire Naye Deng family, Deng Shirong is the only one left in the Shi generation.

"Jiugong, have you eaten?"

"Jiugong, come to my house for a meal."

"Jiushu, come and have a drink with you."

"..."

It is now mealtime. When passing by other families, people keep calling him for dinner, and he naturally refuses them all.

When he arrived at Litchi Mountain, he found that Litchi Mountain was unprecedentedly lively today. He kept hearing people calling "Emperor Father", "Fifth Prince", "Master Ji". Deng Shirong didn't even need to go up to guess what happened.

Sure enough, when he walked up Litchi Mountain, Deng Shirong saw the crew members of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" picking lychees to eat.

Although there have been many crews appearing in Naye Film and Television City in recent years, and people are not as excited as before to see big stars, there are still few opportunities to get in touch with big stars at such a close distance. In addition, Zhang Tielin, Zhang Guoli, and Su Youpeng were all very famous at that time.

Needless to say, Zhang Guoli has starred in popular dramas such as "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan" and "Kangxi Secret Visits", which has made him a household name. Who here has not watched his TV series?

Zhang Tielin has also starred in popular dramas such as "My Fair Princess" and "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan". Let's put aside his acting skills as the emperor he played, his popularity is unquestionable, and it is not surprising that he was recognized by everyone.

Su Youpeng is also a hot shot. He was already very popular during the Little Tigers period. After the two popular dramas "My Fair Princess" and "Deep Love in the Rain", his popularity is needless to say.

As for the female protagonists, their fame is much worse than that of the male protagonists, including Jia Jingwen and Gao Yuanyuan, who were not very famous at that time, but they all had a very big advantage, that is, they were very beautiful.

Deng Shirong was naturally familiar with these actors. Before he had a smartphone in his previous life, TV series were the best tool to kill time, so he had basically watched all the TV series that were popular before 2010.

He basically knew the names of the actors who became popular during this period.

But he didn't know many of the actors who became popular after 2010.

Deng Shirong didn't mean to disturb them. He picked two bunches of lychees and went to the top of the mountain to eat hot pot.

It was the peak meal time at this time. If someone else came, they would definitely have to wait for a long time before they could eat hot pot, but Deng Shirong naturally didn't have to wait. When he came to eat hot pot, no matter how busy the kitchen was, he would be served the soup base and side dishes as soon as possible.

Therefore, after he finished eating the two bunches of lychees he picked casually, the hot pot was ready to start.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening when he finished eating the hot pot.

At this time, it was dark and the landscape lights of Litchi Mountain were turned on.

Under the illumination of those landscape lights, the bunches of lychees hanging on the trees made people salivate. Looking down from the top of the mountain, the whole orchard was colorful and very beautiful. Looking further away, the lights were dazzling, like a city that never sleeps.

Such a beautiful scene, outsiders only think that this film and television city is beautiful, and there is not much feeling for other things.

However, as long as the locals see it, they can't help but feel emotional. After all, they all know what this place looked like more than ten years ago. Now there has been such a big change, which many people dared not dream of before.

When Deng Shirong came out after eating, the members of the crew of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" also came out after eating.

Seeing the attractive bunches of Guiwei lychees, Jia Jingwen held her stomach and said, "Oh, the boss is so annoying. These lychees are delicious to begin with, and now they are even more delicious with the landscape lights. But now my stomach is full, this is a hassle!"

Gao Yuanyuan laughed and said, "Fortunately, I left some room in my stomach. I'll pick another bunch to try. Princess, don't be too envious!"

Alec Su laughed and said, "Princess, I see you didn't eat much hot pot, so it shouldn't be stressful to eat some fruit after the meal, right?"

Chen Zihan said with a smile: "Brother A Niu, our princess has to stay in shape, how can we eat more!"

Several young people were laughing and joking. Although Jia Jingwen was complaining, how could she say she wouldn't eat the free cinnamon-flavored lychees? No matter how full she was, she had to pick a few more to taste. Not to mention that when she was eating hot pot just now, she actually had some stomach left.

I dare not say that there are too many, but if I eat more than ten lychees, it will still be no problem.

As for the other members of the crew, they were not polite. They all walked to the lychee tree and ate while picking. The experience was in one word - amazing.

Such an experience is that there is no such store after passing this village. They only have a few days left to shoot in Naye Film and Television City. After leaving here, if you want to eat lychees, you can only buy them outside, like Nowadays, it is really difficult to come across this kind of opportunity to pick and eat fresh food in the mountains.

Deng Shirong also went over to pick a bunch of lychees. While eating, he said to Alyssa Chia and others: "Little girls, if you want to eat, you can come and pick at any time. Anyway, your filming place is very close to here. It only takes two or three minutes to drive there. No delay." It won't take much time.

If you don't pursue picking and eating now, it would be even simpler. You can just send someone to pick it and take it back. "

Jia Jingwen blinked her big eyes and said: "Uncle, I heard that the lychees here are not sold, only the guests who come to eat hot pot can pick and eat them. If we don't come to eat hot pot, how can we come to pick other people's lychees? Eat!

Not to mention sending someone directly to pick it up and take it back! "

Deng Shirong said with a smile: "You are right. The lychees here are not sold, and they are indeed left to the hot pot guests to pick and eat. However, you are public figures and can help promote our Naye Film and Television City, and follow The treatment of ordinary people is naturally different. If you want to eat lychees, you can come here to pick them at any time, or you can send someone to pick them. "

Gao Yuanyuan said in surprise: "Uncle, are you from the film and television city? This orchard and hot pot restaurant are also properties of the film and television city?"

"I am indeed from the film and television city."

Deng Shirong nodded first, then shook his head and said: "However, this orchard and hot pot restaurant are not the properties of the film and television city. The orchard is my own, and this hot pot restaurant is opened by my youngest daughter. You can pick more now. Take the lychees back and eat them slowly tomorrow, and I’ll get the bags for you.”

Alyssa Chia quickly said: "Uncle, how embarrassing is this!"

"It's okay, it's just a little lychee, not worth much."

After saying that, Deng Shirong went back to the hot pot restaurant and brought plastic bags to the crew, asking them to pick them as they pleased without being polite.

The leading actors and staff behind the scenes couldn't refuse, so they took the plastic bags and happily picked lychees.

Soon, one person picked a bag of lychees.

Alyssa Chia walked up to Deng Shirong with the lychees and thanked her with a smile: "Uncle, thank you. Your lychees are very sweet and delicious."

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "If you like to eat, you are welcome to pick it at any time. Little girl, I know you are a Taiwanese compatriot. My eldest brother's family also went to Taiwan in 1949 and did not come back until a few years ago. My nephews and grandnephews are also in Taiwan. grown up.

We are one family on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. I hope that your compatriots living in Taiwan will never forget our motherland. You are welcome to come back at any time. "

Alyssa Chia showed a surprised expression when she heard this, then nodded solemnly and said, "Thank you, uncle, for reminding me. I will never forget my motherland."

Afterwards, the other leading actors and the crew behind the scenes also thanked Deng Shirong one after another before returning to their hotel with a large bag of lychees they had picked.

Nowadays, with more and more projects in Naye Film and Television City, the number of film crews attracted is also increasing, which has long exceeded the reception capacity of Bu Dafang's hotel, so she invested in building a second hotel.

At the same time, the film and television city also invested in a five-star hotel, which was naturally prepared for the crews who were not short of money.

No matter how well-built an ordinary hotel is, its upper limit is there, and it definitely cannot compare with a five-star hotel.

Originally, given the popularity of the crew of "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword" and the status of the leading actors, they should have stayed in a five-star hotel.

It's a pity that although the starring lineup of this drama team is strong, the total investment for this version of "Eternal Dragon Sword" is only 20 million. If the IP of this drama is not really too powerful, such a small investment would not be enough for this audience. Big-name leading actors get paid for their films.

Therefore, in this crew with limited funds, they have always lived a budget-conscious life. In terms of accommodation, they can only live in ordinary hotels and are reluctant to spend money to stay in five-star hotels.

Dinners like today are only occasionally held by the crew.

…

One day in June 2002, a far-reaching event occurred in an Internet cafe in Beijing.

After the incident broke out, there was an uproar in an instant.

The Internet cafe industry, which has been growing wildly for several years, has also ushered in the most severe rectification, making countless Internet cafe owners across the country lament.

After all, although the current charging standards of Internet cafes are much lower than when Internet cafes first developed a few years ago, the price of computers has also dropped a lot. Coupled with the ever-popular business, the daily income of Internet cafes makes the boss smile.

Now, Internet cafes are going to close down for rectification, and all the money will be lost!

The bosses who knew the reason for the rectification of Internet cafes were all very angry with the arsonists. If it weren't for these cruel beasts, their Internet cafes would make a lot of money every day. Why would they have to close down for rectification?

As the saying goes, cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents.

If it weren't for the rule of law, those little scumbags would probably have been drowned by the angry Internet cafe owners.

However, not all Internet cafe owners are so unlucky. There are also Internet cafe owners who are not affected by the industry rectification at all. Their Internet cafes are open as usual. When other competitors are ordered to close down for rectification, their business is more popular than before.

These Internet cafe owners are none other than Deng Shirong's children and nephews and nieces.

As a reborn person, Deng Shirong knew that the Internet cafe industry would have such a thing, so when his children entered the Internet cafe industry, he put forward several regulations.

The most important regulations are that all possible certificates must be obtained, and fire protection must be done to the extreme. In addition, each Internet cafe must be equipped with a certain number of security personnel to ensure the personal safety of customers.

Doing these will definitely increase the operating costs of the Internet cafe, but Deng Shirong sternly warned his children that this is an indispensable thing and they must complete it without compromise.

Deng Shirong's children have no objection to this and run the Internet cafe according to his requirements.

Although the cost of doing so has increased, fortunately, Deng Shirong's children are the earliest bosses of Internet cafes in China. They all opened large Internet cafes. Because several brothers and sisters have added up to make their computer installations extremely large, they have also greatly reduced costs.

Therefore, even if they have made a lot of investment in fire protection and security compared to other Internet cafes, they can still make a lot of money.

Today, the investment that was made regardless of the cost has finally received the due return.

Except for those black Internet cafes that operate secretly, most Internet cafes across the country are forced to suspend business for rectification. However, the Internet cafes opened by Deng Shirong's children and nephews and nieces are all Internet cafes with complete certificates and fire protection standards. Naturally, they are not affected and can still operate normally.

"Dad has a long-term vision. All the things he told us to do at the beginning are now useful."

"Dad's vision is needless to say. Some Internet cafe owners said behind our backs that we were stupid and spent so much money on those useless things. Now they should know who is stupid!"

"I don't know how long this Internet cafe suspension for rectification will last. If it doesn't take long, it doesn't matter. There won't be much loss. If it takes a long time, those Internet cafe owners will probably regret it."

"The incident is too big. Now the eyes of the whole society are focused on Internet cafes. Industry, those Internet cafes that need to suspend business for rectification, before the new regulations come out, how can it be so easy to reopen for business! "

"We are now in a favorable position, take this opportunity to expand the scale of the Internet cafe, otherwise we can't handle so many customers."

"Yes, it needs to continue to expand..."

"..."

Deng Yunzhu, Deng Yunhua, Deng Yunhua, Deng Yunshou and other brothers and sisters called each other, and even called their father (Uncle Man) one by one to tell Deng Shirong about this sudden incident that has a major impact on the Internet cafe industry.

Deng Shirong listened to them and then said: "This incident has a very bad impact. The country will definitely vigorously rectify the Internet cafe industry. In the future, the country will definitely strictly control the number of Internet cafes. It will not be easy to apply for Internet cafe licenses.

Before, I asked you to apply for more Internet cafe licenses. Now this certificate is also useful.

If it goes as expected, the transfer price of Internet cafe licenses will definitely rise wildly in the future. You brothers and sisters will discuss it. When the price of this Internet cafe license rises to the highest point, you will transfer the extra Internet cafe licenses. You will definitely make a lot of money."

What else can Deng Yunzhu and others say after hearing what their father (Uncle Man) said? Everyone admired him.

The development of Internet cafes has always been within Deng Shirong's expectations. He did not pay too much attention. What he cares most about now is the promotion of his third son and third daughter-in-law.

At the beginning of this year, the couple went to the Party School to study together. This is a normal operation before the promotion.

Four years ago, the third son and third daughter-in-law were successively promoted to deputy department-level cadres.

Now that four years have passed, the third son's father-in-law is about to retire, and before he retires, he must help his daughter and son-in-law.

So throughout June, Deng Shirong has been waiting for good news from his third son and daughter-in-law.

Soon, it was the end of June, and Deng Shirong received a call from his third daughter-in-law.

As soon as the call was connected, the joyful voice of the third daughter-in-law Pei Qinghua came over: "Dad, the positions of me and Brother Song have been determined."

Deng Shirong was delighted and asked: "Both promoted?"

Pei Qinghua smiled and said: "Both promoted, I will serve as the director of the Zhejiang Finance Department, and Brother Song will serve as the deputy secretary and acting mayor of Jinhua. After the public announcement is over, he will be the mayor!"

Deng Shirong laughed happily and said: "Good, great, it's really a double happiness. I will prepare sacrifices to offer to Grandpa tomorrow and tell this good news to the ancestors of our Deng family, so that the ancestors can protect your career and create glory again."

Pei Qinghua smiled and asked: "Dad, do you want Brother Song and I to rush back?"

“Don’t bother with that. You’re new officials. Just do your job well. Leave these to me.”

“Okay, I got it!”

Then the father-in-law and daughter-in-law talked about Lele’s (Deng Changding) study problems before hanging up the phone.
