Chapter 374: The woman is shocked, Deng Yunheng is promoted to county magistrate

Five Mountains Square.

After 10:30 in the morning, Deng Yunzhen, Deng Yunzhu, Deng Yunhua, Deng Yunheng, Zhang Xiuping and others arrived at the first floor door in advance, waiting to welcome the arrival of the Gu family.

The waiting time was not boring either, as a platoon of veterans were training in the square and everyone was watching with great interest.

Around eleven o'clock, a group of people walked towards Wuyue Square.

Sharp-eyed Deng Yunzhu recognized the Gu family mother and daughter walking in front of her at a glance, and quickly reminded them: "Here they come! Here they come!"

Upon hearing this, the others looked over to the group of people, and Deng Yunzhu had already taken the lead and greeted them with a smile on her face, "Auntie, Sister Gu."

"Sister Azhu."

The two sides greeted each other, introduced themselves to each other, and greeted each other again.

"My father was cooking today, so he couldn't come down to greet you all. He asked me to tell you all, which was really rude."

"Relatives are so kind."

After a few polite words, Deng Yunzhu and others led the female group up the external stairs and went straight to the fifth floor.

Originally, the girl's side thought that the boy's family invited them to dinner at the La Meizi Hotpot Restaurant. Even when they heard Deng Yunzhu say that her father cooked the meal himself, they didn't think much about it.

But after reaching the second floor, they found that Deng Yunzhu and others had no intention of staying, but continued to go upstairs, which made the women feel a little puzzled.

Soon, a group of people reached the fourth floor. As they went further up, they saw a sign hanging above that read "Private residence, no outsiders allowed."

Seeing this, the women's party were all surprised. They didn't expect that the highest floor of the Wuyue Square was actually a residence? After going up to the fifth floor, a corridor appeared in front of everyone. In the middle of the corridor was an ancient archway with full charm. After passing through the archway, the scene in front of them stunned the women's party.

What appeared before them was an antique house that was extremely luxuriously decorated. The inside and outside of the house were like two different worlds. Before passing through the archway, it was still modern times, but after passing through the archway, it was like returning to ancient times.

Although the women's group were not professionals, they could still recognize precious woods such as rosewood, huanghuali and golden nanmu. They saw that the decoration of the house used a large number of these precious woods, and the overall effect looked magnificent and luxurious.

In short, the decoration of this house is really worthy of praise.

It was so beautiful! The identities of the women on the other side were not simple, and they had all seen the world, but now every one of them was shocked by the scene before their eyes.

Especially the three daughters and mother of the Gu family, they are all fans of traditional culture. One is good at calligraphy, one is good at painting, and one is good at embroidery. Their understanding of traditional culture is not comparable to that of Deng Shirong's relatives.

The more you understand traditional culture, the more you can see the exquisiteness of the decoration of this house.

This thing is like the seven-string invisible sword created by Huang Zhonggong in "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer". When ordinary people encounter it, they will feel nothing, but the higher the internal strength, the greater the impact.

Similarly, Deng Shirong’s relatives just thought that the house looked beautiful, nothing more.

But in the eyes of the Gu family's mother and daughter, the decoration of this house is truly exquisite. Even the simple decorative embellishments can accurately hit their G-spots, making them more and more excited as they look at it, and they have an urge to take a closer look.

Just at this moment, Deng Shirong heard the noise and came out of the kitchen. After greeting the women's group one by one, he smiled and said, "Relatives, I still have a few dishes to cook. You can sit down and have some tea first, or you can visit the house if you are interested."

Mother Gu said with great interest: "Relatives, let's visit the house first!"

Deng Shirong smiled and nodded, then told his sons and daughters-in-law to show the guests around the house, and then went back to the kitchen to get busy.

The women's group, led by Deng Yunzhen, Deng Yunzhu, Zhang Xiuping and others, visited this eye-opening mansion.

This is not one of those houses of more than 100 square meters that you can just glance at and finish. This is a super large flat of 3,000 square meters. The decoration of each place is different and has highlights worth appreciating. Even if you just take a quick look at it, it will take more than ten minutes.

If you want to savor it carefully, it will take you at least an hour to visit it.

The mother and daughter of the Gu family were busy appreciating the exquisite details of the decoration, while Mr. Chen, Father Gu, Chen Donglai, Lu Wei and others were silently calculating how much money the house had cost while visiting.

The crowd visited for more than twenty minutes before returning to the living room.

It’s just right that it’s time to eat.

So, the woman's group was invited to the dining room.

This house has three dining rooms, large, medium and small. Normally, the family uses the small dining room when they have meals together. The table there can accommodate the whole family, and it creates a better atmosphere when they eat close together.

When relatives and friends come, we use the medium dining room. The table in this dining room is a very large rotating round table, which can easily seat fifty or sixty people. It is suitable for entertaining relatives and friends.

As for the large dining room, it is connected to the living room and is only used during gatherings. The tables and chairs are usually stored away and do not take up too much space. They are only taken out when needed. It is no problem to entertain two or three hundred people.

With the current number of people, a medium-sized dining room would be sufficient.

When they sat down, the women were not too surprised to see the delicious dishes.

After all, if Deng Shirong was not good at cooking, they would have had today's meal at the La Meizi Hotpot Restaurant on the second floor. It would be impossible for him to cook for them personally. It was because of his confidence in his cooking skills that he cooked at home to entertain them.

Although they were mentally prepared, when they actually started eating, the women were still a little surprised.

This taste is really good! After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes.

Mother Gu couldn't help but ask, "Relative, did you build this Wuyue Square with your own money?"

It's no wonder she asked this. It's understandable that the La Meizi Hotpot Restaurant on the second floor is a rented shop, but the fifth floor is decorated like this. If you say it's a rented house, it would be an insult to her IQ.

Deng Shirong nodded and smiled, "Indeed, I paid for it myself. The supermarket on the first floor is opened by my eldest son and daughter-in-law. You all know the hot pot restaurant on the second floor. The home appliance mall on the third floor is opened by my fourth son. As for the fourth floor, it is still empty."

Hearing this, the women took a deep breath.

They are all well-informed people. The area of ​​this Wuyue Square is not small. The cost of the main structure alone will definitely not be less than two million. If the decoration is included, it will definitely not be less than three million, and this is not even counting the price of the land! Father Gu exclaimed: "Relative, you are quite amazing!"

Mother Gu said, "I heard from Yunheng that you, a relative, took the lead in setting up a passenger transport company and a food company in the clan. It seems that these two companies are very profitable!"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "It's okay. This is a product launched by our food company. Maybe you all know it."

Gu Caiwei blinked and asked, "Uncle Deng, what product is this?"

Deng Shirong said: "It's Master Kong instant noodles. They also have a branch factory in Wuhan."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the women on the female side couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Not only did they know about this Master Kong instant noodles, they had also eaten it!

Unexpectedly, this famous Master Kong instant noodles is actually a product launched by Deng Shirong’s food company. No wonder the other party’s financial resources are so strong.

At this moment, Father Gu and others understood.

Originally, Gu's parents agreed to the Deng family's proposal mainly because they had their eyes on Deng Yunheng, a promising rising star in the political arena. They didn't expect that he, who came from a rural background, actually had such a good family background. This was an unexpected surprise and the icing on the cake.

After having a rough idea of ​​the Deng family's financial resources, the woman stopped talking about economic issues and instead started talking about different topics.

For example, Mr. Chen, Father Gu, and Chen Donglai, people in the system, talked to Zhu Junjie about some things in the system.

Gu Caiwei also chatted with her future sister-in-law about some family matters.

Gu Caixiao chatted with Zhang Xiuping, Liang Yuqing and Liu Aihong about their children, which is an eternal topic.

Gu's mother, Old Madam Chen, Deng Shilan, the eldest aunt, the second aunt and others talked about the wedding customs in Bobai, preparing for Gu Caiwei's wedding next year.

Lu Wei talked about business matters with Bu Dashi, Bu Zhongshi and others.

Chen Xiaojun and Chen Xiaohong also talked about studying with Deng Yunheng, who was about the same age as them.

In short, everyone was eating, drinking and chatting, and the atmosphere was quite nice.

After the meal, everyone became familiar with each other and no longer felt as strange as they did at the beginning.

After dinner, everyone went to the living room to drink tea. After about half an hour, the woman asked to leave.

Deng Shirong tried to persuade him to stay, then took out the red envelopes he had prepared, and said with a smile, "Dear relatives, according to our Bobai rules, this is your first visit to our home, so we must give you red envelopes. This is called a lucky money gift. It will bring you great fortune. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Don't refuse!"

Having said that, the women naturally would not refuse and accepted the red envelope.

Then, the two sides exchanged some pleasantries, and Deng Shirong, together with his family and relatives, sent the woman and her group to the square downstairs and watched them leave.

After the girl walked away, Deng Shilan praised: "Brother, Yunheng looks like a good match. He is as handsome as Aping."

Zhang Xiuping smiled and said, "Third aunt, please stop praising me. I am not as pretty as Miss Gu!"

Deng Yunzhu said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't be modest. You are as beautiful as your future sister-in-law."

Other family members and relatives also agree with this statement.

In terms of figure and appearance, Zhang Xiuping is indeed not inferior to Gu Caiwei, but she is slightly inferior in temperament.

There is nothing that can be done about it. Whether in terms of family background or cultural level, Zhang Xiuping cannot compare with Gu Caiwei. This gap cannot be made up in a short time, or even in a lifetime.

In short, Gu Caiwei, a girl with a good family background, good figure, good looks and good temperament, received unanimous praise from Deng's relatives.

On the woman's side, the Gu family and the Chen family were also discussing the situation of the Deng family.

"Sister, brother-in-law, your future in-laws are really amazing."

Chen Donglai praised: "A rural person with no background, whose life was no different from other rural people before the country's reform and opening up, ended up becoming a millionaire in less than ten years. He also raised a son who was admitted to Peking University and a son who was admitted to Tsinghua University. His other children also have their own careers. It's really amazing."

Lu Wei also praised with admiration: "Uncle is right, this is really amazing. I have such good conditions, but after years of hard work, my net worth has barely exceeded one million. Compared with Uncle Deng, it is really far behind."

Father Gu nodded and said, "It's really remarkable."

Others also praised him sincerely. In this era, being able to have a net worth of several million and having an influence comparable to having a net worth of tens of billions in later generations, it really was not an exaggeration to praise him.

Gu Caixiao also praised, "Uncle Deng's cooking skills are amazing, not inferior to those of professional chefs. I originally had no interest in dishes that were not spicy, but the stir-fried pork belly and steamed mud worms made me unable to stop eating. It's really rare."

Madam Chen doesn't like spicy food, but she likes these two dishes very much. She agreed, "These two dishes are really well made, especially the stir-fried pork belly shreds. They are not tough at all, but very refreshing. Even someone like me with bad teeth can eat it. The taste is really unique."

When talking about the food, everyone started praising it.

To be honest, the dishes that Deng Shirong prepared with great care today tasted really good. Even the Gu and Chen family members, who had eaten all kinds of delicacies from land and sea, ate them with gusto.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Hearing the praises from her family and relatives, Gu Caiwei had a smile on her face. The wedding date between her and Deng Yunheng had been set, and it was naturally a happy thing for her that her future in-laws could get the approval of her family and relatives.

…

Monday, July 17, 1989.

Deng Yunheng finally removed the word "acting" from his title as acting county magistrate and officially took up the post of county magistrate of Fuqing County.

Let’s take a brief look at his resume.

From September 1981 to July 1985, he studied at Peking University and served as vice president of the Student Union.

From July 1985 to July 1987, he worked in a department of the State Planning Commission as section chief and deputy director.

From July 1987 to June 1989, he worked in Fuqing County, Fujian Province, serving as executive deputy county magistrate.

From June 1989 to July 1989, he served as acting county magistrate of Fuqing County.

July 1989 - Served as mayor of Fuqing County.

This resume is really impressive, and he was basically promoted on the cusp of the job.

After taking office, Deng Yunheng began to consciously integrate Fuqing County's existing industries and create a complete industrial chain to expand its competitiveness in similar industries.

…

Capital city.

A certain hotel.

Zhou Shengli, Wang Dadan and Tian Chunzhi rarely get together.

While eating, Tian Chunzhi sighed: "This summer has nothing to look forward to, and I feel like I have no energy to do anything."

Wang Dabing also sighed, "Yes, in the past, at this time every year, we would receive a windfall that was equivalent to our annual income. But starting this year, Boss Deng will no longer come, and we have missed out on this windfall. Every time I think about it, I feel heartbroken."

Zhou Shengli also sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do. Boss Deng and his team have found better opportunities and don't want to earn this hard-earned money anymore."

Tian Chunzhi said, "Old Zhou, why don't we go to the south and see if we can continue this fruit business."

Zhou Shengli shook his head and said, "It's difficult. I've thought about this problem, but without Boss Deng's preservation technology, by the time these fruits are shipped to Beijing, they will probably have gone bad. It's impossible to sell them as well as before, and there's a risk of losing money."

Tian Chunzhi said, "We can avoid these fruits with a short shelf life and go over there to see if there are any fruits with a relatively long shelf life. There are so many kinds of fruits in the south. I don't believe that we can't find fruits with a relatively long shelf life like apples and pears."

Wang Dabao agreed, "You can definitely give it a try. After getting used to making quick money, it would be really hard to suddenly lose it."

Zhou Shengli pondered and said, "Alright, let's set off tomorrow and go to the south to investigate and see if there are any fruits worth trying."

Tian Chunzhi then perked up and said, "Okay, let's set off together tomorrow and treat it as a trip to the south."

Wang Dabing had no objection, so the matter was settled.

After having a plan, the three of them stopped sighing like before and started eating and drinking happily.

In fact, it was not just the three of them who were sighing, many citizens of the capital were also sighing.

"Oh, I thought those fruit stand owners said those things last year to get people to buy more of his fruit, but I didn't expect it to be true. It's incredible."

"Yeah, those fruits are so popular, they must be making a lot of money, why are they suddenly not selling anymore?"

"I can't understand it either. If the business is bad and you can't make money, then it's normal to stop doing it. But the business is so hot and you're making a lot of money. Why are you just not doing it? It's really hard to understand. Is there anyone in this world who thinks that they have too much money?"

"It's definitely not because they make a lot of money. Didn't the owner of the fruit stall say that the fruit supplier thought they didn't make enough money and switched to other businesses? They lost their source of goods, so naturally the business couldn't continue."

“Are the owners of these fruit stalls pigs? Since this fruit supplier is no longer in business, why not just change another supplier?”

"It's not as simple as you think. Not everyone has the ability to solve the problem of fruit preservation during transportation. If the preservation problem is not done well, the fruit will go bad on the way, and that will be a big loss. Not everyone is willing to take such a big risk."

"So, we really won't be able to eat longan, jackfruit and other fruits in the future?"

"It's probably hard to find in Beijing. If you want to eat it, you can only go to the south. There's plenty of it there."

“…”

Not only in Beijing, but also in cities like Tianjin, many citizens are discussing similar issues.

Deng Shirong, the instigator of the incident, returned to the mooncake factory in the county and continued to taste the mooncakes made by the master chefs.

This time's mooncakes have made considerable progress compared to last time, but there are still some problems.

After pointing out the problems and asking the chefs to continue improving, Deng Shirong talked to the food company's general manager Deng Changyu about launching other products.

The mooncake factory only starts making mooncakes more than a month before the Mid-Autumn Festival every year. The rest of the time it is free. Deng Shirong naturally cannot close the mooncake factory and then give the employees a long vacation of at least ten months. That would be nonsense.

Therefore, the correct way for a mooncake factory to open its business is to also sell other foods.

A lot of space was reserved when this mooncake factory was being built. As long as the new products are determined and the relevant production equipment is purchased, production can begin immediately.

Deng Changyu asked: "Jiu Gong, what product do you think we should develop next?"

Deng Shirong already had an idea, and he answered directly: "Let's make eight-treasure porridge as the new product!"

On trains in later generations, there is a phrase that all passengers are familiar with: "Beer, drinks, mineral water, peanuts, melon seeds, eight-treasure porridge, come on, put your legs down!"

During this period, Deng Shirong took the train many times, but he had never seen eight-treasure porridge on the train.

Therefore, when opening a food company, Deng Shirong made eight-treasure porridge one of his must-have products.

Of course, there are still many products worth making, but you can't eat fat at once, you have to do it one by one. Anyway, it is only the late 1980s now, and many products have not yet come out. Even if they are, they are not very famous. Even if they are famous, he is confident that he can surpass others.

So, there is no need to be too anxious.

Deng Changyu is certainly no stranger to Eight Treasure Porridge. This thing has been popular in our country for thousands of years. Who among Chinese people doesn’t know it?

When he heard Jiugong mention Eight Treasure Porridge, Deng Changyu immediately reacted and asked, "Jiugong, are you planning to make canned Eight Treasure Porridge?"

Deng Shirong nodded and said, "Yes, it is canned eight-treasure porridge. Go to the machinery factory to buy canning equipment and recruit a few chefs who are good at making eight-treasure porridge. This factory already has the equipment. As long as the formula of the eight-treasure porridge is determined, you can start production. I will give you three months. Is that enough?"

Deng Changyu patted his chest and said, "Three months is enough, so I will do this next. However, the final formula of the eight-treasure porridge still needs to be determined by you, Jiugong."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "That's no problem. When we invite the chefs who are good at making eight-treasure porridge back, I will talk to them about how the eight-treasure porridge should be cooked. We will make several different flavors of eight-treasure porridge and then launch them on the market for consumers to choose freely."

Deng Changyu hummed and said, "That's fine. Jiugong, do you have anything else to tell me?"

Deng Shirong said: "Remember to register the name of Eight Treasure Porridge as soon as possible."

Deng Changyu asked: "Jiu Gong, what is the name of the Eight Treasures Porridge?"

Deng Shirong blurted out: "Yinlu, the silver of gold and silver, the heron of egret."

PS: I originally thought it would be difficult to break the subscription record, but I didn’t expect you guys to be so supportive. The chapter I updated yesterday broke the subscription record for this book again. It’s already 1.32 million words. I’m really grateful for breaking the subscription record. ○|￣|_ (End of this chapter)
