Chapter 167: Try the Qinglong flavor during the meal, and wake up in the middle of the night with the delicious taste in your mouth
The transportation in this era is really inconvenient. After Deng Shirong and his son finished their business, they had no car to go back.
Originally, Deng Shirong wanted to go to the county government to talk to the leaders about investing in and running a supermarket, but when he thought about his eldest son who was still working in the tile factory and his eldest daughter-in-law was pregnant and would give birth in three or four months, it would be inappropriate to let his eldest son come to the county to develop this year.
Besides, it is only 1981, which is still a little early. It would be much more appropriate to come back and talk next year than now.
Don't underestimate the fact that it has only been a year or two. Now the postponed opening is in full swing. Many leaders' thinking is facing new shocks every day, and there are great changes every month. After a year or two, the leaders' thinking is definitely different from now.
Therefore, it will probably be much better to talk to the leader again next year than to do it now.
While Deng Shirong was thinking about his worries, Deng Yunheng asked, "Dad, there are no cars going back to Shuangwang now, but there are still cars passing through Tanlian. Should we take a car back to Tanlian first, and then walk back?"
Deng Shirong shook his head and said, "There's no need to rush. It's a rare opportunity to come to the county town, so just stay here tonight and take the bus back tomorrow. I can buy some fresh Bobai water spinach to eat tomorrow morning."
Deng Yunheng asked in confusion: "Dad, don't we have water spinach growing at home? We can't even finish it, so why should we spend money to buy it?"
Deng Shirong couldn't help but laugh when he heard this and said, "Yunheng, you don't understand this. This Bobai water spinach is completely different from the water spinach we grow at home. The taste is completely different. You will understand after you have eaten it."
Deng Yunheng was surprised and asked, "Dad, aren't they all water spinach? How can there be such a big difference?"
Deng Shirong smiled and said: "It is mainly because the soil, fertilizer and water conditions selected for the growth of Bobai Water Spinach are special. If it is introduced to other regions, the variation will be very large. It is only suitable for growing in paddy fields within a radius of more than ten kilometers in the suburbs of Bobai.
In particular, the water spinach grown in Nanmentang in front of the county government is the most tender and crisp, while Yinmajiang, Dongweitang, Jixintang, Beijiekou, Nanyuan, and Queqilu are also very famous production areas. The taste is completely different outside these places.”
After listening to his father's introduction, Deng Yunheng still didn't take it seriously. After all, it was just water spinach. He had been eating it since he was a child. How delicious could it be? Deng Shirong saw his second son's reaction and knew that he didn't take the Bobai water spinach seriously. He didn't rush to explain it. After he tasted it, he would know why the Bobai water spinach was so famous.
Bobai Water Spinach has a very long history and was already famous overseas more than two hundred years ago.
In ancient times, there was a saying in Yulin, Guangxi: "Luchuan pigs, Beiliu fish, and Bobai beautiful water spinach."
Once, a poet left behind the lines "I tried the Qinglong flavor at the banquet and woke up in the middle of the night with the fragrance still in my mouth" after tasting Bobai Water Spinach.
Before, when the Central Committee held the "9th" and "10th" National Congresses, it even sent planes to transport Bobai water spinach to Beijing, where it was served as a delicacy. This is just a vegetable, and there is no other vegetable in the country that can have this honor.
The pictures of Bobai Water Spinach are as follows:
According to research, Bobai water spinach is the second most popular vegetable in the world, after Hanoi water spinach in Vietnam.
Bobai Water Spinach is very fresh, green, crisp and tender. When the stem is broken into sections, the broken ends will split and curl up, resembling a trumpet.
As we all know, green vegetables will change color quickly if they are directly fried without special cooking techniques. However, Bobai Water Spinach is different. Even if it is fried today, it can still maintain its original green color and taste the same the next day.
Because of its shape and color, the soup made with Bobai Water Spinach is also called "Green Dragon Crossing the Sea" or "Green Dragon Crossing the River", and is one of the very good vegetarian soups.
Deng Shirong hasn't eaten Bobai Water Spinach since his rebirth. To be honest, he's a little craving for it.
Next, the father and son did not rush to the guesthouse, but wandered around the county town.
Nowadays, the most prosperous areas in the county are undoubtedly Main Street, Wenhua Road and Xinglong Street.
Deng Shirong and his son strolled to the north side of Xinglong Street and saw a new five-story building called the Department Store.
At this time, the entrance of the department store was bustling with people, and it was still very popular.
Deng Shirong plans to let his eldest son open a supermarket in the county town next year. This department store and the county supply and marketing cooperative are his eldest son’s future competitors. Now that he is here, he naturally has to go in and take a look.
So, Deng Shirong took his second son into the department store.
The total construction area of the department store is 2,040 square meters, with the first and second floors being business halls. Compared with those large shopping malls in later generations, it is certainly not worth mentioning, but nowadays this department store is already a very grand shopping mall. Anyway, it shocked the inexperienced Deng Yunheng, just like Liu Laolao's reaction when she first entered the Grand View Garden.
The goods inside are complete. Basically, anything sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives can be found in department stores.
If we have to separate department stores from supply and marketing communities, then the supply and marketing cooperatives mainly serve country people, while department stores serve city dwellers.
Soon, Deng Shirong and his son arrived at the household appliances area, and then saw high-end household appliances such as televisions, washing machines, refrigerators and tape recorders. Each one opened Deng Yunheng's eyes and made him deeply feel the difference between rural and urban areas.

After a quick tour of the department store, Deng Shirong, who knew what was going on, said to his second son, "Yunheng, let's go!"
"Oh!" Deng Yunheng responded, then walked out of the department store with his father, looking back every few steps.
Seeing his second son's reluctance to leave, Deng Shirong sighed, "It's a pity that there is no electricity in the village, otherwise I would buy a TV or a tape recorder for you to use."
Deng Yunheng couldn't help but complain: "I have a classmate who is also from the village. Their village had electricity last year, but our village has no electricity at all. I don't know when we can have electricity like other places."
Deng Shirong, who has experienced it, said: "Our village won't have electricity so quickly. We probably won't have a chance to have electricity in the next few years. It will take at least 90 years before we have a chance to have electricity."
Deng Yunheng was surprised and said, "No way, it will take another seven or eight years for our village to have electricity?"
"This is my guess. It would be better if electricity could be connected earlier."
At this point, Deng Shirong glanced at his second son and said, "This has nothing to do with you anyway. You will go to Beijing to study soon. It is the capital of our country and it must have electricity long ago."
Deng Yunheng thought about it and couldn't help but feel excited.
