Chapter 380 Uncle Deng, how do you know everything?

On the bus from Guangzhou to Nanning, Yan Shuwen also lamented that the world is really too small.

A few years ago, she met this uncle for the first time on a train from Nanning to Beijing. She got on the train in Guilin and they happened to sit in the same row.

The second time we met was at La Meizi Hotpot in Nanning, it was our first meeting after several years.

Originally, it was a very rare chance for two people who met by chance to meet for the second time. Unexpectedly, not long after, the two met for the third time.

Moreover, the city where they met for the third time was changed from Nanning to Guangzhou.

They met three times, all in different cities. It must be said that they were destined to meet each other.

Since we were so predestined, it was necessary for us to get to know each other. After Yan Shuwen sat down, she took the initiative to greet him and asked, "Uncle, what's your name?"

"Your surname is Deng."

Deng Shirong smiled slightly, and then said meaningfully: "If I remember correctly, your last name should be Yan, right? I just don't know if this last name is real or made up?"

Yan Shuwen's eyes moved slightly, and she said admiringly: "Uncle Deng, you are really amazing. You hid it from me on the train. Just as you guessed, the story on the train was made up by me, but the last name is real."

Deng Shirong asked: "The couple you were chatting with, are they the ones who committed adultery?"

Yan Shuwen was even more surprised: "Uncle Deng, how do you know everything?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "I just noticed it. Although both of your performances were very successful at the time, I have been in the world for many years and I still have a good eye for people. If the identity you performed is true, then they are really too enthusiastic about you.

The ancients have long said that if someone offers kindness for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. I firmly believe this. How can anyone rush to help others just by chance? "

“That makes sense!”

Yan Shuwen nodded upon hearing this, and then asked in confusion: "Uncle Deng, how did you know that I was acting? At what stage did I reveal my true colors?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Compared to the acting of the criminal couple, your acting is indeed better. You brought the identity you made up to life. Most people can't really tell what's wrong with it. But an old hand like me has a way of judging people. It's easy to fool others with your acting, but it's really hard to fool me.

If you ask me to analyze it in detail, I can't do it, but I had a hunch at that time that you were not a simple girl, not the kind of silly girl who didn't even know she was deceived and sold. So from beginning to end, I never thought of reminding you.

If you were any other silly girl, I definitely wouldn't watch you run away with those two men.

And the fact proved that I was right. After you followed the couple, I observed that there were two people quietly following you. They should be your companions, right?"

Yan Shuwen was shocked when she heard this: "Uncle Deng, you are amazing. Your observation skills are really amazing. Fortunately, the opponent I met at that time was not you, otherwise I would have been sold out without knowing it."

Deng Shirong asked: "So, what is your identity?"

Yan Shuwen said: "Railway police, but that is a thing of the past. I have resigned and now do something else."

Deng Shirong was not surprised to hear this identity. He had guessed this before, and now it was just a guess that was confirmed: "Your career is pretty good, why did you quit?"

Yan Shuwen sighed and said, "I didn't want to resign either, but my parents saw that I was dealing with dangerous people all day long and were afraid that I would get into an accident, so they kept urging me to resign. I really couldn't get over it, so I had no choice but to resign."

Deng Shirong understood and said with emotion: "How pitiful are the parents in the world!"

Yan Shuwen asked, "Uncle Deng, where are you from?"

Deng Shirong said: "I am from Yulin, what about you?"

Yan Shuwen said: "I am from Guilin."

Deng Shirong said: "Guilin is a great place, with the most beautiful landscapes in the country. I have long wanted to go there to see it, but unfortunately I have passed by Guilin countless times but never stopped to visit. I have to say it is a pity."

Yan Shuwen smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I grew up in Guilin, so I don't think the scenery in Guilin is that beautiful."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "I believe this. Some people say that traveling is to go to places that others are tired of, from places that you are tired of. You grew up in Guilin, and you will get tired of seeing the most beautiful scenery. But for those who have never seen it, it is still very attractive."

Yan Shuwen's eyes lit up when she heard this: "That's a really good summary. It's really like that."

Deng Shirong said: "I'll go to Guilin someday if I have time. I wonder what beautiful scenery there is in Guilin?"

Yan Shuwen immediately introduced: "Speaking of scenery, the Li River is worth seeing. The Li River passes through the city, and the scenery along the way is charming, with mountains and waters complementing each other. There are famous attractions such as the Elephant Trunk Hill, the Yellow Cloth Reflection, and the Nine Horses Painting Mountain.

There are also two rivers and four lakes, Longji Terraces, Seven Star Park, Ten-mile Art Gallery, Reed Flute Cave and other attractions, all of which have their own unique features.”

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "I haven't seen how beautiful this scenery is, but the names are more beautiful than the last."

Yan Shuwen couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard this, and thought that Uncle Deng was quite humorous.

It is five or six hundred kilometers from Guangzhou to Nanning. If it were the highways of later times, it would only take six or seven hours to get there. But with the roads of this era, it would take at least ten hours to get back to Nanning. It is a long journey, and the best way to pass the time is to chat.

Therefore, Deng Shirong and Yan Shuwen, two people with a close relationship, chatted all the way back from Guangzhou.

Through chatting, Deng Shirong learned about Yan Shuwen's recent situation. The reason she appeared in Guangzhou was to come with her cousin to purchase goods for the clothing store.

Because of their first meeting, Deng Shirong was always wary of Miss Yan, fearing that he would be deceived by this smart and talented girl. Therefore, he kept using the system's spatial perspective to observe her facial expressions.

From beginning to end, Deng Shirong found that the other party was speaking sincerely, and he slowly let down his guard.

Then he found that Miss Yan was quite good-looking. And since he had been looking for a partner for his nephew for some time, he had the idea of ​​finding a partner for his nephew.

Of course, this is just an idea at the moment. If you really want to introduce Miss Yan to your nephew, you still have to consider it carefully.

On the one hand, we need to find ways to investigate the other party's background.

On the other hand, we have to consider whether the nephew and Miss Yan are a good match for each other. Once the two of them really get together, Deng Shirong is sure that the nephew's IQ may not be able to beat Miss Yan, who has been dealing with criminals for a long time.

After the two get married, the little nephew is likely to become a henpecked man.

But feelings are very complicated things. Every couple has their own way of getting along with each other. A man who is like an emperor at home is not necessarily happy, and a man who kneels on the washboard at every turn at home is not necessarily unhappy.

In short, as the saying goes, only the person who wears the shoes knows whether they fit or not.

However, since Deng Shirong was reborn, he has acted as a matchmaker in many cases, so he still has some say in marriage.

He believes that the most important thing in marriage is character. Whether the couple's personalities are compatible is the key to happiness. If two people with incompatible personalities get married, they will definitely quarrel every three days and have a big fight every five days. However, couples with compatible personalities respect each other and move forward hand in hand. No matter good or bad, they can live a happy life.

It is said that it is easy to change the country but difficult to change one's nature. This makes sense, but it is not entirely true.

For example, some women originally have a good temper, but if she marries a man with ordinary conditions and no ambition, and lives a life where she has to think twice before drinking a cup of milk tea, her good temper will become worse and worse, and eventually she will quarrel with her husband at every turn, disturbing the whole family.

There are also some women who originally have a bad temper, but if she marries a powerful man and lives a rich life with everything provided for her, her bad temper is likely to get better and better, and she will gradually become a good wife and mother, and a good woman praised by everyone.

Family conditions can really change a person's character.

Some women are like green tea in front of losers, and are considerate and good sisters in front of rich men.

In fact, both men and women have more than one face. Which face they show to others depends entirely on what kind of person their other half is and what kind of conditions he or she has.

The two chatted along the way and found themselves getting along quite well.

When we returned to Nanning, it was already midnight.

While other passengers were busy getting off the bus, Deng Shirong asked, "Xiao Yan, how are you going to get those two big bags of clothes back in the middle of the night?"

My cousin Qin next to me said, "Uncle Deng, there are human-powered tricycles at the station entrance. We can just call two human-powered tricycles to help pull it back."

Deng Shirong said: "There's no need to go to such trouble. It's not far away anyway. I'll ask the driver to drive you to the entrance of the clothing store!"

"ah?"

Cousin Qin and Yan Shuwen both showed surprised expressions.

Deng Shirong directly said to the driver: "Ah Hu, drive these two relatives later."

Deng Sihu nodded and said, "Okay, Nine Ancestors."

Deng Shirong then got out of the car with a smile: "Xiao Yan, when I go to Guilin someday, remember to be my tour guide!"

Yan Shuwen quickly responded: "Okay, Uncle Deng!"

After Deng Shirong walked away, Yan Shuwen asked curiously, "Driver, what did you mean by calling Uncle Deng the Great Ancestor just now?"

Deng Sihu smiled innocently and said, "It means exactly what it says. He is my grandfather's uncle. Isn't it normal for me to call him the Ninth Ancestor?"

Cousin Qin and Yan Shuwen were shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect that this Uncle Deng, whom they met by chance, had such a high seniority in the clan. The driver in front of them looked to be around 30 years old, but he still called him the ninth ancestor. It was really unbelievable.

…

Tenth month of the lunar calendar.

A grocery store in Wuchang.

A regular customer came over and asked, "Boss Jiang, do you still have Kangshifu spicy beef noodles?"

Jiang Chuanfu smiled and said, "Yes, how many packs do you want?"

The regular customer said, "Give me five packs, and two packs of braised beef noodles."

"OK."

Jiang Chuanfu responded and when he went to get goods for a regular customer, he found that there were not many Master Kong instant noodles on the shelf and it was time to restock.

After the regular customers paid and left, Jiang Chuanfu continued to watch the store.

At noon, his wife came to take over the shift and asked Jiang Chuanfu to go back for lunch.

Jiang Chuanfu said, "Wife, there aren't many Master Kong instant noodles left. I'll go back to the factory to buy more after I have dinner."

The sales of Master Kong instant noodles are exploding. Not to mention a store like Jiang Chuanfu that has a small purchase volume, even merchants with a very large purchase volume have to go to the manufacturer in person to purchase the goods. It is impossible to expect the manufacturer to deliver the goods with just a phone call.

Even if you go to the factory in person to purchase the goods, you have to wait in line for half a day before you can pick up the goods!

The wife responded, "Go ahead, drive carefully."

"knew!"

…

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Jiang Chuanfu rode his Xingfu brand motorcycle to the Master Kong instant noodle factory.

Here, merchants are queuing up to pick up goods 24 hours a day, and workers are going in and out carrying goods, creating a busy scene.

When Jiang Chuanfu went to pay the money, he saw a huge billboard erected there at a glance. On the top of the billboard were written the words "Master Kong Eight Treasure Porridge", and below were lines of small words introducing this Master Kong Eight Treasure Porridge.

Finally, there are the wholesale price and retail guide price, and it also says that there are limited stocks, so please buy as soon as possible.

After reading it, Jiang Chuanfu was tempted. He thought that this eight-treasure porridge was very suitable to sell in his store, so he had to buy some to try.

There are many businessmen who have the same idea as Jiang Chuanfu. As businessmen, they can naturally see that Eight Treasure Porridge should be a very good product. Not to say that it sells better than instant noodles, but based on their experience, it is definitely a very popular product.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

So, when it was Jiang Chuanfu's turn to pay, in addition to the instant noodles he had originally ordered, he also ordered four extra boxes of Master Kong Eight Treasure Porridge, intending to take it back to the store to test the waters and see if it would sell well. If so, he would come back to order more next time.

After waiting in line for an hour and a half to pick up the goods, when Jiang Chuanfu returned to the store on his motorcycle with a full cart of goods, it was already dark. The lights in his store were turned on, and neighbors came over to watch TV and chat.

Hearing the sound of the motorcycle, the neighbors moved their stools to make way.

The boss's wife also hurried over to help unload the goods.

Soon, after the boxes of instant noodles tied on top were taken down, the eight-treasure porridge at the bottom was revealed.

The proprietress asked in surprise: "Honey, what's going on with this eight-treasure porridge?"

Jiang Chuanfu smiled and said, "Master Kong has released canned eight-treasure porridge. I think it's good, so I bought a few boxes."

"Eight Treasure Porridge Can?"

"What does this can of rice porridge look like?"

"It's really strange, eight-treasure porridge can be canned?"

Upon hearing this, all the neighbors gathered around curiously.

Jiang Chuanfu naturally would not miss the opportunity to promote the product. He immediately opened a box of eight-treasure porridge, took out cans of it, and handed them to his neighbors, saying, "If you want to see it, take a good look at it. This eight-treasure porridge looks really good to me."

The neighbor reached out to take the eight-treasure porridge and looked at it curiously.

For this can of Eight Treasure Porridge, Deng Shirong borrowed the classic packaging of Eight Treasure Porridge in later generations. In addition to the text, there is also a picture of the finished product of Eight Treasure Porridge, which makes people salivate at the sight of it, and they can't wait to open it and taste a few bites.

“This can of eight-treasure porridge looks really beautiful!”

"It's really beautiful. The pattern of this eight-treasure porridge makes people drool just by looking at it."

"I didn't expect that eight-treasure porridge could be made into such a beautiful can. It really broadens my horizons."

"Boss Jiang, how much does this eight-treasure porridge cost per can?"

“…”

Jiang Chuanfu smiled and said, "One dollar and eighty cents a can."

“This price is a bit expensive!”

"It's indeed a bit expensive. One can of eight-treasure porridge can buy two packs of instant noodles, and there are even some left over!"

"It's still different. Instant noodles are eaten and nothing is left. This eight-treasure porridge jar is so beautiful. After eating the eight-treasure porridge inside, you can still keep it for storing things. This is also pretty good."

"That's true..."

Now the price of Master Kong instant noodles has also increased. The retail price is 80 cents a pack, no longer 50 cents as when it was first released.

Jiang Chuanfu heard the discussion among his neighbors. As a businessman, he would not miss the opportunity to promote his product. He smiled and said to his wife, "Wife, we don't know what this eight-treasure porridge is like. Why don't you open a can and try it to see if it tastes good?"

The proprietress was also very curious about the eight-treasure porridge, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll open a can and try it."

Upon hearing this, the neighbors all stretched their necks to look at the proprietress and watched her open the plastic lid on the jar, revealing a foldable plastic spoon. This thing was easy to operate at first glance, so the proprietress flipped the plastic spoon out and straightened it.

Then, under everyone's expectant gaze, he pulled the pull ring and opened the eight-treasure porridge.

Under the light, everyone could clearly see the eight-treasure porridge inside. The proprietress used a small spoon to stir it evenly, then scooped a spoonful into her mouth, chewing slowly and savoring it.

I ate several spoonfuls in a row, but the proprietress didn't comment.

The neighbors couldn't help but ask, "Madam, how does it taste?"

"Boss lady, don't just focus on eating, give us some comments."

"Madam boss, what does this eight-treasure porridge taste like?"

“…”

The proprietress then smiled and said, "This tastes really good. It has a soft, sweet texture and a fresh fragrance. I don't think I can make such delicious eight-treasure porridge myself. And children will definitely like it."

After saying that, the proprietress ate several more mouthfuls before handing the eight-treasure porridge to her husband and said, "Husband, you try it too."

The boss did not refuse. He took the eight-treasure porridge and tasted a few mouthfuls. He also praised it highly and said, "It tastes really good. It seems that Master Kong has come up with another good product. If I had known, I would have bought more today."

The neighbors were all a little greedy after hearing what the couple said.

Therefore, the neighbors who were well-off immediately paid for the eight-treasure porridge in their hands, and said as they opened the eight-treasure porridge: "I want to see if it is really so delicious."

Soon, the neighbor tasted the longan and lotus seed eight-treasure porridge. The soft, smooth and sweet taste made his eyes light up and he also praised it.

Then, other neighbors also took action.

Although everyone's economic conditions are different, no matter how bad they are, it is already the late 1980s and we are about to enter the 1990s. It is still no problem to take out 1.8 yuan to buy a can of eight-treasure porridge. It just depends on whether you are willing to spend money.

Now, all the other neighbors have bought it, and if I don’t buy one, it will seem like my family is too unique.

People all want to save face. If they have to spend a lot of money to gain this face, then it is not necessary. But they are still willing to fight for this one or two dollars of face.

Because of this mentality, all the neighbors present paid money and each got a can of eight-treasure porridge.

Some people opened it and tasted it on the spot, while others kept it and planned to take it back for their children to try.

Jiang Chuanfu bought a total of four boxes of Eight Treasure Porridge and sold one box as soon as he got home, which can be considered a good start.

…

I have to say that the brand effect is really useful.

If the mooncake factory really names its Eight Treasure Porridge Yinlu, it will probably take some effort to open up the market, and it may even have to spend money on advertising on TV like it did with instant noodles.

But after putting the Master Kong brand label on the product, with the help of the sales channels of Master Kong instant noodles, all the eight-treasure porridge that had been stockpiled for a month was easily sold out.

Then after investigation, we found that the market response was very good, so expanding production capacity was a natural thing to do.

Experienced food companies are naturally well prepared for this.

This year, the sales of Master Kong instant noodles continued to be hot. Although the number of instant noodle factories increased after the Tianjin branch went into production, under the guidance of Deng Shirong, the food company still bought land and built factories in several other important cities, so that it can go directly to the production line when needed.

Now that Eight Treasure Porridge has officially opened up the market, we can pick one of the built factories to install a Eight Treasure Porridge production line. This way, we can expand the production capacity of Eight Treasure Porridge as soon as possible and will not hinder the pace of development due to insufficient production capacity.

After the business of Eight Treasure Porridge was on track, Deng Shirong began to think about the next product of the food company.

Now that we are about to enter the 1990s, Deng Shirong feels that it is time to bring out the most important products of the food company.

Under Deng Shirong's operation, Master Kong instant noodles became the food company's flagship product, bringing a lot of profits to the company's early development.

However, Deng Shirong knew very well in his heart that the limit of instant noodles was there. Even if it became a global leader like Master Kong in its previous life, its profits would only be so-so, which was far behind that of the beverage industry.

Beverages are the products that can truly bring a food company to the top.

Beverages are a large category, and any subcategory can easily beat instant noodles.

For example, mineral water, there is no need to say how awesome it is.

There are also carbonated drinks, such as cola, soda, etc.

Tea beverages, such as various black teas, green teas, iced teas, oolong teas, herbal teas, etc.

Dairy drinks, such as milk, yogurt, etc.

Fruit and vegetable juice drinks, such as various fruit juices, freshly squeezed juices, vegetable juices, fruit and vegetable mixed juices, etc.

There are also coffee drinks, which are various drinks containing coffee ingredients.

Even various types of alcohol are considered beverages.

In short, beverages are undoubtedly the most powerful category among food companies.
