Chapter 236 Shock

After arranging matters at home, Deng Shirong boarded a bus to Nanning the next day.

In this day and age, Deng Shirong only needs to make a geographical difference when selling longan, there is no need to make a time difference.

After all, with the current preservation methods, if we really wait until winter or spring to sell longan that is as fresh as if it had just been picked, that would be really scary. It might even attract investigation from someone with ulterior motives, which would not be worth the effort.

Now we only deal with geographical differences, and if we transport longans to the capital to sell during the longan season, people won’t be too surprised.

Even insiders would only marvel at the other party's freight capabilities and preservation methods, and would not think of anything else.

After resting for a night in a guesthouse in Nanning, Deng Shirong boarded a train to Beijing the next day.

…

noon.

Bobai County Bus Station.

Deng Yunheng took Ou Guofang, Deng Changdong and Changdong's mother out of the station.

Seeing the bicycles coming and going and the motor vehicles passing by from time to time, Deng Changdong and his family of three felt like their eyes had been opened.

Ou Guofang, who was pregnant, couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's worthy of being a county town. There are so many bicycles. It's completely different from the countryside."

Changdong's mother stared at the multi-storey buildings in the distance and said with emotion: "Yes, the county town is the county town. The buildings are so tall!"

Although Deng Changdong didn't say anything, there was a look of longing in his eyes.

Deng Yunheng understood their amazement very well. When he first went to the county town with his father, he was also amazed for a long time. Until last year when he went to school in Beijing and saw the prosperity of Beijing, he looked at Bobai County again and felt that it was not much different from the countryside.

"Sister Yunfeng, let's go to my restaurant to have lunch first. My eldest brother and his wife are also there."

Changdong's mother said hesitantly, "Yunheng, there's no need to go to the restaurant for dinner. We can just have a bowl of noodles outside."

Deng Yunheng laughed and said, "Sister Yunfeng, what are you talking about? How can I let you go out to eat noodles when we get to the county town? Don't be polite to me. It's getting late now. I'm hungry. Let's go quickly!"

Changdong's mother said a few more polite words, and then the family of three followed Deng Yunheng and walked towards the Suifeng Hotel.

More than ten minutes later, Deng Changdong and his family followed Deng Yunheng to the Suifeng Hotel.

When Changdong's mother saw the three-story and ridiculously large Suifeng Hotel in front of her, she was immediately stunned with shock.

The news that Uncle Jiu was opening a restaurant in the county town had already spread throughout the surrounding area and had aroused discussions among many villagers, topping the topic list for more than a month.

However, Changdong's mother never dreamed that Uncle Jiu's restaurant was not just slightly bigger than Shuangwang State Restaurant as the villagers guessed, but was at least dozens of times bigger. This was simply incredible.

She asked in disbelief: "Yun Heng, is this really the restaurant your family opened?"

Although Deng Changdong and Ou Guofang were also somewhat shocked, they had already been mentally prepared, so their reaction was not as big as Changdong's mother's.

The main reason was that Ou Guohua came here to give birth to a child and saw the hotel that Jiugong's family was building. Although she didn't say much after she returned, she couldn't hide it from anyone except her cousin Ou Guofang. And when Ou Guofang knew about it, she naturally wouldn't hide it from her husband.

Therefore, the couple had long known that Jiugong’s restaurant was very large.

Of course, even though they were mentally prepared, they were still inevitably shocked after seeing this magnificent hotel with their own eyes.

Deng Yunheng certainly understood Mrs. Yunfeng's shock. Even he, who had seen the world, was shocked when he first saw the scale of his own restaurant, let alone Mrs. Yunfeng, who came to the county town from the countryside for the first time.

He smiled and said, "Of course it's true. Don't just stand here. Let's go in!"

After saying that, Deng Yunheng took the lead and walked into the hotel.

Seeing this, Changdong's mother followed him into the hotel with an extremely shocked mood.

Deng Changdong and Ou Guofang looked at each other and followed him in.

As they walked in, Zhang Xiuping, who was sitting at the cashier counter, saw them at a glance and greeted them with surprise: "Sister Yunfeng, Adong, Afang, you are here!"

"Sister Ping!"

"Sister Ping!"

After the two sides greeted each other, Zhang Xiuping came out from behind the cashier counter, took Ou Guofang's hand and said, "I calculated the date and guessed that you would come up in the next few days. The room has been cleaned up for you!"

Ou Guofang thanked her and then said with emotion: "Sister Ping, you look so good. It seems that life in the county town is really comfortable!"

Zhang Xiuping smiled and said, "You look good..."

While the two sisters were talking, Deng Yunheng had already asked Deng Changdong and his mother to put their luggage away and sit down at the side. Then Deng Yunzhen came over, said hello, and went to the kitchen to cook for them.

Soon, the waiter brought the tea.

While drinking tea, the mother and son also looked at the layout of the hotel curiously. The more they looked, the more shocked they were.

Changdong's mother couldn't help but sigh, "Yunheng, no wonder your father doesn't care about your brother's income at the tile factory and asked him to give up the position of the master tile maker to Yuan a long time ago. Compared with such a big restaurant, the tile factory in the village is really nothing."

Deng Yunheng said, "Sister Yunfeng, this is different. My eldest brother works in a tile factory making tiles. His monthly income is very stable, but running a restaurant is different. You may make more money, but you may also lose money. No one can predict this."

Deng Changdong smiled and continued, "Uncle Yunheng, everyone in our Bangjie Brigade knows Jiugong's abilities. The business he has set his sights on will definitely not lose money. It's just a matter of how much profit he can make."

Deng Yunheng smiled and said, "I hope so!"

At this time, Ou Guofang and Zhang Xiuping also came over and sat down. They chatted about family matters and then the food was served.

Boiled chicken, boiled pork trotter, scallion fried egg, mountain water tofu, cold water spinach and tomato egg drop soup. These five simple dishes and one soup are already a very rich meal for Deng Changdong's family.

While eating, Ou Guofang asked, "Sister Ping, why did your brother-in-law want to learn how to drive a car?"

In later generations, learning to drive is a basic skill for every adult, and there is nothing strange about it.

But in this day and age, except for a small group of people, most people would not think about learning to drive, because it is useless to learn this thing. If you don’t have any connections, it will be very difficult to become a driver among the eight major members.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

If you don't want to be a driver, then there is no need to learn how to drive a car, because there is no place for you to learn it. It would be a waste of money to learn it, isn't it?

Zhang Xiuping said: "He went to learn it with his cousin. As for what the use of learning this thing is, I don't know. Anyway, it was my father-in-law who asked him to learn it."

Hearing that it was Jiu Gong who asked him to study, Ou Guofang did not ask any more questions. Since it was Jiu Gong's decision, he must have his reasons.

After eating and resting for a while, Zhang Xiuping said, "Sister Yunfeng, I will take you back and put your luggage away. If you are tired, you can rest in the room. If you are not tired, you can go out and walk around the county."

Changdong's mother was cheered up after hearing this and said, "I'm not tired. Let's put away our luggage and go out for a walk. I'm very curious about the county town."

Ou Guofang replied, "I'm not tired either, Mom, let's go out for a walk together!"

Zhang Xiuping looked at the time and said with a smile, "It's past lunch time now, and there won't be many customers in the restaurant for the next two hours, so I'll go out with you guys!"

Ou Guofang said: "Sister Ping, you don't need to accompany us. Xiao Dong'er is sleeping. If you leave, what will happen if she wakes up and can't find you?"

Zhang Xiuping smiled and said, "It's okay. She is closer to her aunt than to me as her mother. I just need to tell Ah Zhen."

At this point, Ou Guofang no longer refused and nodded, "Okay then!"

…

On the train to Beijing.

Deng Shirong has taken this long-distance train four times, and this is his fifth time, so he can be considered experienced.

He put all the food, drinks and other valuables into the system space. On the surface, he was holding a bulging sack, which was used to deceive people. In fact, there was nothing else in it except a few rotten clothes.

Since he had nothing on him, he didn't have to worry about losing anything, so after getting in the car, he leaned against the window and fell asleep.

For a train ride as tough as this one, it really feels like the days are passing by so the best way to deal with it is to sleep, because sleeping is the fastest way to kill time, and it may be just a few hours later when you wake up.

Sitting with Deng Shirong was a young woman with a child. The woman was wearing patched clothes and looked young, probably no more than 25 years old. However, there was melancholy in her eyes and she looked like a middle-aged woman in her thirties.

However, judging from her facial features, she must have been a pretty girl in the past.

She was with a little boy who looked to be about four or five years old. He sat there without saying a word, and was not at all lively and active as a child of his age should be.

Deng Shirong observed all this when he got on the bus, but since they were just strangers, he was too lazy to find out their stories.

Although it was uncomfortable to sleep while sitting, Deng Shirong was lucky that he had bought a window ticket. He used a sack to cushion his body and leaned against the window, and he could still barely sleep.

When I woke up, it was already time for lunch.

At this time, the passengers on the bus started to eat. They ate the food they brought with them, including grains such as sweet potatoes, taro, corn, and cassava, as well as pasta such as buns and steamed buns. Some people even brought rice with pickles.

There were all kinds of food, even meat was brought by some people, but the only thing missing was the standard equipment on trains in later generations - instant noodles.

Although instant noodles already exist in my country today, they have not yet truly entered the market, so it is normal not to see them on trains.
