Chapter 425: Farsighted, grand, and like a dragon
Fujian.
Fuqing.
A family compound.
Gu Caiwei was making lunch in the kitchen, while Deng Damei was playing with Uncle Changmao in the living room.
In this family, Deng Damei is mainly responsible for taking care of Uncle Changmao, cleaning, washing clothes, picking vegetables, washing vegetables, washing dishes and so on. These tasks may seem like a lot, but for Deng Damei, who has been used to working since she was a child, they are very easy to do.
The hostess, Gu Caiwei, is responsible for buying groceries and cooking, and also takes care of her son in her spare time.
In short, with Deng Damei as her capable helper, Gu Caiwei can still play with embroidery when she has nothing to do, and her life is still very leisurely.
For lunch today, Gu Caiwei prepared three dishes and a soup. At this moment, she was making tomato and egg soup.
Gu Caiwei didn’t know how to cook before, but after she and Deng Yunheng set the wedding date, considering her married life, she took a break and learned from her mother for a while. Her cooking talent was pretty good, and she could cook some home-cooked dishes quite well before she got married.
Now, after this period of training, Gu Caiwei’s cooking skills are not that good, but they have reached the level of an ordinary housewife.
After frying the tomatoes until soft, add a large spoonful of water. It will take some time for the water to boil, so Gu Caiwei walks out of the living room to talk to her son.
It's quite fun when the child just learns to speak.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Deng Damei thought that Mr. Yunheng had forgotten to bring his key, so she hurried over to open the door.
As a result, when the door opened and she saw the person outside, Deng Damei couldn't help but greet him with a look of surprise: "Nine Ancestors!"
Gu Caiwei looked in the direction of the voice and greeted him in surprise, "Dad!"
Deng Shirong responded with a smile, and Xiao Dong'er and Dongzi, who were following him, also greeted him, "Second Aunt, Big Sister."
"Xiao Dong'er, Dongzi, you are here too."
Seeing her nephew and niece coming in, Gu Caiwei asked with a smile, "Did your grandfather bring you here to play because you met the standards for the final exam?"
"Yes, Second Aunt."
Xiao Dong'er nodded, then looked at Er Gou and said, "Er Gou, do you still recognize your sister?"
Dongzi also jumped out and yelled, "Ergou, I'm your brother."
Ergou opened his eyes wide, looked at this, looked at that, grabbed with his little hands, babbled something, and after a while he blurted out: "Sister~Sister~"
Xiao Donger responded excitedly and said, "Second Aunt, can you let me hold Ergou for a while?"
Gu Caiwei smiled and said, "Of course, please sit on the sofa and I will carry it to you."
Dongzi said anxiously: "Ergou hasn't called me brother yet!"
Gu Caiwei couldn't help laughing and said, "Dongzi, you have to teach him this. Ergou doesn't know how to speak very well yet."
Deng Shirong handed the large sack to Deng Damei and said, "Damei, there are three kinds of canned food in here: beef brisket, beef brisket, and spicy crab. There are also tea leaves, glutinous rice wine, longan meat, and ash water dumplings. Take them and put them away."
Deng Damei responded, "Okay, Nine Ancestors."
At this time, Gu Caiwei had already put Ergou in Xiaodong'er's arms and said, "Dad, it's such a long way, and you have two children with you. Why did you bring so many things here? This is too hard!"
Deng Shirong waved his hand and said, "It's not hard. The New Year is coming soon. Bring more of these local specialties so that Yunheng can give gifts to the leaders."
He advocated that his son should not engage in corruption or accept bribes, but sending such authentic local specialties as a normal form of interpersonal communication was something Deng Shirong supported. After all, my country has been a society based on personal relationships since ancient times. As long as it does not violate the law, sending local specialties is an effective way to build closer relationships.
Since they were all family, Gu Caiwei didn't say too much politely and said, "Dad, you take a rest first. I'm still cooking soup in the kitchen!"
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Let me do it. Do you have any noodles?"
Gu Caiwei said, "Yes, but Dad, you don't have to cook noodles. I have already cooked rice. I usually cook rice for the whole day at noon, so there will definitely be enough rice. You can just cook it again in the afternoon after you finish eating."
Deng Shirong nodded and said, "Okay, then don't cook the noodles. I'll make whatever dishes you have."
Gu Caiwei said: "The dishes are all in the kitchen. There are also some in the refrigerator. I'll take them out and make two more dishes."
Deng Shirong said, "Don't bother. Just prepare the dishes in the kitchen. Open two or three cans of food I brought with me, and we'll have enough food."
Gu Caiwei responded: "Okay then!"
…
Half an hour later.
Deng Yunheng also came back from get off work and was very happy to see his father and nephews and nieces suddenly arrive.
At this time, Deng Shirong had already prepared the dish and the canned beef brisket had been heated up. The rich aroma made people drool.
While eating, Deng Shirong asked, "Yunheng, do you guys not have time to go back for the New Year this year?"
Deng Yunheng nodded and said, "I really don't have time. I have to lead a team to visit retired cadres, front-line workers, moral models, military martyrs' families, etc. before the New Year. Otherwise, let Weiwei take Ergou back to celebrate the New Year!"
Deng Shirong shook his head and said, "Since you don't have time to go back, then your wife and children should stay with you to celebrate the New Year. Otherwise, it will be too lonely for you to stay here alone."
Gu Caiwei looked at Deng Damei and said with a smile: "Damei, this year I'd like to trouble you to stay here and celebrate the New Year with us."
Deng Damei said quickly: "Second Granny, what's the problem? It's nice to spend the New Year here. I have many brothers and sisters in my family anyway, so I don't need one more."
Deng Shirong smiled and continued, "Big sister, when you bring Ergou to primary school, Jiuzu will help you find a good family."
Hearing this, Deng Damei said shyly, "Thank you, Nine Ancestor."
At this time, Deng Yunheng tasted the fragrant canned beef brisket and said, "Dad, your canned beef brisket tastes really good. If you mass-produce it and sell it, it will probably be a good business."
Deng Shirong shook his head and said, "I have also thought about having the food company in my clan make it and sell it, but this thing is very particular about production and the cost is relatively high. If it is mass-produced and sold, the price is really not affordable for ordinary people. After thinking about it, I decided not to bother and just make some for myself."
Deng Yunheng said: "If the cost is high, it is indeed a problem."
Deng Shirong said, "I brought a lot of canned food this time, all made by myself, as well as Bobai's longan pulp, broken black tea, glutinous rice sweets and other specialties. Find a suitable opportunity to give some to the leaders and get closer to them."
Deng Yunheng groaned and said, "Okay, I understand."
Deng Shirong thought for a moment and added, "How about I invite your leader to my home for a simple meal while I'm here? That way, it will be a natural thing for me to give him some local specialties."
Deng Yunheng nodded and said, "Alright, I'll talk to the leader about this later and see if he's willing to come."
"Anyway, it's up to you. We'll be here for about a week."
At this point, Deng Shirong stopped talking about this matter and changed the subject, saying, "By the way, I have something to tell you. Xiaosong has a girlfriend."
Deng Yunheng was surprised and asked, "When did it happen?"
Deng Shirong said: "It has been several months, and I have met the girl's parents."
Deng Yunheng's eyes widened as he said, "Good boy, when Ah Zhu got married, he didn't reveal a single word. He did a really good job of keeping it a secret. Where is the woman from? What does she do for a living?"
"Xiaosong has a calm personality. Since the wedding date hasn't been set yet, he naturally doesn't want to make it public."
Deng Shirong explained with a smile, and then replied: "The girl is from Beijing, and is a colleague of Xiaosong. She is a top student who graduated from Renmin University. She has a top-notch figure and appearance, and has a strong background. It is a blessing for Xiaosong to be able to date this girl."
Gu Caiwei suddenly realized, "No wonder Xiaosong has kept it a secret. It turns out the girl's family has a background!"
Deng Yunheng asked, "Dad, do you know what the girl's family background is?"
Deng Shirong nodded and said, "Of course I know. The girl's father is one level higher than Weiwei's father!"
Upon hearing this, Deng Yunheng and Gu Caiwei looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
Her rank is one level higher than her father's. After reaching this level, Xiaosong is able to date the daughter of such a big shot and they have even met each other's parents. It's really amazing.
Deng Yunheng said with emotion: "Good boy, he is a man who will make a big splash if he doesn't make any noise!"
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Don't make this public in advance. After the Spring Festival, I will ask a master to choose an auspicious day, and then go to the capital to finalize the marriage."
Deng Yunheng and Gu Caiwei nodded repeatedly after hearing this. It was indeed not appropriate to make the marriage public before it was finalized to avoid unnecessary trouble.
…
Deng Shirong brought his grandchildren to Fuqing, of course not just to visit his second son's family, but also to take the two little ones for a walk and visit the local famous scenic spots. This is what it means to be out traveling, not visiting relatives.
There are still many famous attractions in Fuqing.
In later generations of Fuqing, the most famous attraction should be the Shaolin Temple. The Fuqing Shaolin Temple is located in the Shaolin natural village of Dongzhang Town, Fuqing. It was founded by one of the thirteen monks of the Tang Dynasty who came to Fujian. It is a real thousand-year-old temple. Unfortunately, it did not escape the fate of being destroyed by war, and only a ruin remained in the end.
It is now 1992, and it will not be until next year, 1993, that the ruins of the Shaolin Temple in Fuqing will be discovered by archaeologists.
After the Shaolin Temple became famous with the movie "Shaolin Temple" starring the Kung Fu Emperor, he also starred in the movie "Shaolin North and South", which made the national audience know that there is a distinction between the north and south Shaolin Temple.
There is no doubt that Northern Shaolin refers to the Shaolin Temple in Songshan.
As for Southern Shaolin, we only know that it must be located in Fujian, but which specific Shaolin Temple it refers to is debatable.
Because the Shaolin Temples in Fujian include not only the Fuqing Shaolin Temple, but also the Putian Shaolin Temple and the Quanzhou Shaolin Temple. All of them are ancient temples with a history of thousands of years. They all have their own glory and are closely related to the Northern Shaolin.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
In later generations, the three Shaolin Temples were all vying for the title of Southern Shaolin, and none of them was willing to submit to the other.
However, among these three Shaolin temples, Quanzhou Shaolin Temple has the greatest influence.
Because Quanzhou Shaolin Temple produced the founder of Hung Gar, Hung Hei-gun, and trained a large number of successors including Wong Fei-hung through Hung Hei-gun, Quanzhou Shaolin Temple has a great influence at home and abroad.
In particular, in 2004, when the martial arts master Mr. Jin Yong visited Fujian, he specifically visited the Quanzhou Shaolin Temple and gladly inscribed the 16 words "Shaolin martial arts has a long history. It was introduced to the south and flourished."
This made the reputation of Quanzhou Shaolin Temple even more well-known.
However, although Quanzhou Shaolin Temple was very famous, it could not convince the other two Shaolin Temples to give up the title of Southern Shaolin. Until Deng Shirong was reborn, the three Shaolin Temples were still quoting scriptures and arguing endlessly.
At that time, the Shaolin Temple in Fuqing had not yet been rebuilt, so Deng Shirong could only take his grandchildren to visit other attractions.
Fortunately, Fuqing is indeed very powerful. In addition to the Shaolin Temple that has been burned and destroyed, there is also the Ruiyun Pagoda which was built nearly four hundred years ago.
(Night view of Ruiyun Tower)
In addition, Tianbao Pond, which has a history of more than 1,200 years, is also a scenic spot worth visiting.
When Deng Shirong takes his grandchildren out for travel, he also intends to use travel to guide them to learn, so he especially likes to take them to visit scenic spots with hundreds or thousands of years of history, so that they can feel how brilliant and dazzling our country's 5,000-year-old culture is.
The results were mixed. Xiao Dong'er was quite interested in my country's history and culture, and had always wanted to understand the cultural heritage behind these ancient buildings.
But Dongzi was not very interested in these things. His ideas were also wild and imaginative. When he saw Ruiyun Pagoda, he did not think about the cultural heritage behind the pagoda, but wondered how far he could pee if he climbed to the top of the tower and urinated down?
Seeing Tianbao Dam, the oldest super-large water conservancy project, he was too lazy to think about anything else. He just wanted to play in the water here. It would be perfect if he could catch a few fish.
The completely different performances of his grandson and granddaughter also made Deng Shirong realize that his eldest granddaughter will definitely be a cultured person in the future. As for his eldest grandson, he will most likely be the kind of rich third-generation who is uneducated and unskilled. It is enough for him to just hope that he can be a law-abiding rich third-generation, rather than a notorious rich third-generation.
…
Four days later in the afternoon.
Deng Shirong is using his cooking skills to carefully prepare delicious food to entertain his second son's leader.
Previously, Deng Shirong asked his second son to invite his leader to dinner at home. It was just a suggestion at the time, and he didn't expect the leader to really agree to come for dinner. But he didn't expect that the leader really valued his second son and actually agreed to come to his house for a simple meal.
Although the second son's leader's current rank is not high, only one level higher than the second son, only Deng Shirong knows the ability of the second son as a leader.
Since this was the first time he was entertaining a leader, Deng Shirong naturally had to give his best. In addition to making several special dishes from his hometown look, smell and taste good, he also specially prepared the specialties from the leader's hometown. It can be said that he really put his heart into entertaining the leader this time.
Soon, when Deng Shirong had almost finished cooking the dishes, his second son and his leader returned home.
I won't go into details, but the meal was a great success for both the host and the guests. Deng Shirong's cooking skills were praised by the leader, and for the first time he felt how approachable the leader was. Chatting with him was like being bathed in spring breeze.
Deng Shirong remembered that there was such a saying in later generations, that is, when chatting with others, you feel that the whole chatting process is very pleasant, which makes you involuntarily have a feeling that you have met each other too late and found a confidant in life. This does not necessarily mean that you have really met a confidant, it may also be that the other party is trying to be compatible with you.
Since Deng Shirong was reborn, he has been able to hold his own even when chatting with big shots like his relative-in-law Secretary Gu and his future relative-in-law, Sect Leader Pei, relying on the knowledge he had accumulated from surfing the Internet for more than ten years in his previous life.
In front of other people, he was the one who was being downwardly compatible with others, and it was never others' turn to be downwardly compatible with him! However, this time when meeting with his second son's leader, Deng Shirong finally experienced the feeling of being downwardly compatible with others.
After the dinner, Deng Shirong gave the leader some local specialties, and the leader did not refuse.
After the leader left, Deng Shirong praised him profusely, "Yunheng, you are a really great leader, with a far-sighted vision and a broad vision, like a soaring dragon. You should keep up with the leader's pace and learn more from him. If you can learn half of his skills, you will benefit from it for the rest of your life."
Deng Yunheng had been in contact with the leader for a long time, and naturally admired the leader's talents very much. He did not expect that his father had such a sharp vision and gave such a high evaluation when he met the leader for the first time.
He nodded and said, "I know, Dad. I've been learning from my leader."
…
After staying in Fuqing for a week, Deng Shirong returned home with his grandchildren.
When we returned to Nanning, it was already the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month.
After resting for a night in Nanning, the family drove back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year.
On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the annual dividend distribution meeting was once again held at the entrance of the Deng family's ancestral hall in Naye.
Although with the current size of the Deng Group, even if 100 million or 200 million were distributed as dividends, it would not have much impact on the group, but Deng Shirong felt that it was unnecessary. The clansmen were not short of money anyway, and each of them would be the richest person in other villages. Dividing so much money would not be of any use except to deposit it in the bank.
Therefore, this year's dividend remains the same as before, 2,000 yuan per share.
Before the dividends were distributed, Deng Shirong, the chairman of the group, naturally had to summarize the group's development this year: "My fellow clansmen, this year our Deng Group has made greater progress than last year, especially Deng Real Estate, which already has several construction projects, and Nongfu Spring, a mineral water company, has almost completed the construction of the water source base in Qiandao Lake, Zhejiang, and will be able to launch our mineral water products next year.
In addition, the sales volume of our flagship product, Master Kong instant noodles, has increased significantly compared to last year and is still the most profitable product of our Deng Group.
Passenger transport companies are also expanding in size and further increasing their profitability.
The sales volume of Eight Treasure Porridge has doubled compared to last year, and the profit is very good.
The sales volume of Master Kong iced black tea has also increased significantly, and products such as herbal tea and moon cakes have also gained a certain audience, and there is still great potential for development in the future..."
More than 3,000 clan members were either sitting or standing, quietly listening to the clan leader's summary. When they heard that the group was developing in a good direction, they all smiled happily.
After Deng Shirong finished his summary, the most anticipated dividend distribution session began. One by one, the tribesmen happily went on stage to receive their money. With bundles of hundred-yuan bills in hand, the savings of the poorest tribesmen successfully exceeded the 100,000 mark. Many tribesmen, such as Deng Changbao and Deng Changxiong, even had savings of one million. They were truly rich.
After the tribesmen had received the money, Deng Shirong took the stage and said, "Dear tribesmen, by the second half of next year, our Naye Deng family's villa complex should be completed. By then, I will provide you with several decoration plans, and you can choose one of them to decorate.
Once the villa complex is renovated, we will calculate the expenses separately and deduct them from next year’s dividends.
Also, after our hospital is built, we will definitely need to recruit a large number of medical staff. If you have relatives or friends who are engaged in the medical industry, you can introduce them to work in our hospital. The salary and benefits will definitely be higher than those of hospitals of the same level.
However, there is one thing that needs to be explained in advance. The main purpose of building this hospital is to protect the health of all members of our Naye Deng family. Therefore, our hospital only recruits elites. Those medical staff who are not qualified enough should not be introduced here, otherwise it will be a bit embarrassing if they fail the interview.
However, if the medical staff you recommend are of high enough level, or even authoritative experts in a certain field, our hospital will give them the best treatment.
For example, the 20 or 30 two-story villas that are being built are where our hospital provides housing for experts. In addition, the salary and benefits will definitely not disappoint these experts. If you know any experts or good medical staff, you can feel free to introduce them here. "
As soon as these words were spoken, the tribesmen below began to talk.
After all, there are more than 3,000 members of the tribe, and their network of contacts covers all walks of life. The medical industry is no exception. Many relatives and friends of the tribe members are medical staff. Now that the tribe leader has said that he will give the best treatment if they introduce people here, they are naturally willing to let relatives and friends who are engaged in the medical industry come and try.
A woman in her early thirties stood out from the crowd and said, "Head of the clan, I have a cousin who is the vice president and chief physician of Wuzhou Hospital, and a pediatric expert. I wonder what kind of treatment I can get if I introduce him to our hospital?"
Deng Shirong looked over and found that the person who was speaking was A Liumei, the wife of Deng Changping from Macun. He murmured, "The specific salary needs to be discussed in person. In short, the salary must be better than what he gets at Wuzhou Hospital. In addition, if your cousin is capable of being independent, then it is possible for him to be the dean of our hospital."
Liu Mei nodded and said, "Okay, I don't know if my cousin will be able to come back for the New Year this year. If not, I will go to Wuzhou to see him after the New Year and talk to him about this matter to see if he is willing to work in our hospital."
