Chapter 443 Deng Yunhua falls in love at first sight

afternoon.

Courtyard in Beijing.

Deng Shirong cooked personally and prepared a table full of delicious dishes.

When the meal started, Deng Shirong raised his glass and clinked glasses with Deng Changfu and his wife, saying with a smile, "Changfu, Aying, thank you for your hard work during this period."

Guan Yongying quickly said, "Jiu Gong, it's just some ordinary housework, it's not that hard."

Deng Changfu smiled and said, "Jiu Gong, I don't need to say anything more. I came here just for tourism. I have to thank Uncle Yunsong for providing food and accommodation!"

Deng Yunsong also clinked his glasses with Deng Changfu and said with a smile, "You have helped a lot here as well."

After taking a sip of wine, Deng Shirong asked, "Changfu, have you bought the house?"

Deng Changfu replied: "I bought a quadrangle with two entrances and another quadrangle with one entrance. I have basically spent all the money I brought with me."

Deng Shirong asked again: "Yes, has the house been rented out?"

Deng Changfu nodded and said, "They are all rented out. The rent every month is quite high, which is also a good income."

Deng Shirong said: "Now your mission has been completed, you can go back whenever you want. If you are not in a hurry to go back, I will go back with you when the baby is one month old."

Guan Yongying continued, "Jiu Gong, Third Aunt is giving birth, we can stay and help, and then we can go back with you!"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Alright, we can go back together then. It's a good opportunity to take care of my second sister and let her get familiar with the surrounding environment as soon as possible."

"no problem."

Guan Yongying nodded, looked at Deng Ermei and said, "Second sister, starting tomorrow I will take you out to buy groceries and get familiar with the surrounding environment."

Deng Ermei smiled shyly and said, "Thank you, Aunt Changfu."

…

It has to be said that no matter who you are, you have a realistic side.

Before this, Pei's father and mother had a good attitude towards their relative Deng Shirong. They showed him all the necessary respect and did not look down on him just because he was from the countryside. This was very rare for someone of Pei's father's status.

But, that’s all.

It is impossible for Pei's father to treat Deng Shirong as a person of the same level. The status gap between the two sides is there! However, when Pei Qinghua returned to Naye Village to celebrate the Spring Festival last year, she felt the terrifying financial strength of her husband's family and told her parents about it. Pei's father and mother paid unprecedented attention to Deng Shirong, their relative.

Perhaps a wealthy man with a net worth of tens of millions is nothing to someone of Pei's father's status, but in the early 1990s, a super-rich man with an annual income of tens of millions had to be taken seriously even by someone of Pei's father's level.

Therefore, when Deng Shirong arrived in the capital this time, Pei's father and mother invited him to dinner as soon as possible, and their attitude was much more enthusiastic than before.

"My dear relatives, I heard from Qinghua that Yunsong's second brother has been transferred to work in Fuzhou and is now a full-time deputy secretary?" Pei's father asked during the meal.

Deng Shirong nodded and said, "Yes, I took office in May this year."

Father Pei praised: "It's amazing. As the head of the four deputy positions, the full-time deputy secretary can be said to have one foot in the threshold of the main hall. Moreover, Brother Yunsong is still so young, his future prospects are really limitless!"

Pei's mother also praised him, "He was the youngest deputy director in the country before, and now he has become a full-time deputy secretary. I believe that in the near future, he will be able to remove the word deputy. By then, he will probably become the youngest director in the country, and he will bring this record forward by several years."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "It is not particularly difficult to upgrade to the same level. The most difficult thing is to upgrade from this level to the next level. It is also the real watershed between the middle level and the high level. If he can reach your level in this life, then I will die without regrets."

Father Pei said half-truthfully: "It will definitely be no problem to reach my level, so just wait and enjoy the good life!"

As a provincial governor, Father Pei naturally understood how difficult it was to be promoted to this level. Even though Second Brother Yunsong was the youngest deputy director in the country and might become the youngest director in the country, he did not dare to say that Second Brother Yunsong would be able to be promoted to his level in the future.

However, despite the difficulties, he has to admit that Second Brother Yunsong does have the potential.

As for whether he can turn his potential into strength, it depends on his future development. It is impossible to draw a conclusion now.

…

Ten days passed in a flash.

On the morning of May 17th of the lunar calendar, Pei Qinghua's stomach finally started to move.

I won’t go into detail about the specific process, but around six o’clock in the afternoon, Pei Qinghua gave birth to a son, and both mother and child were safe.

Deng Yunsong, who had been waiting outside the delivery room, laughed like a fool when he heard the news. Both he and his wife worked in the system and were destined to have only one child. It was naturally a happy thing to have a son.

As a Bobai person, Deng Yunsong's idea of ​​favoring boys over girls is much milder than that of others, but it still has some influence to some extent.

Mother Pei said happily: "My dear relatives, congratulations on the birth of your grandson."

Deng Shirong said with a smile on his face: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, congratulations on becoming grandparents."

Father Pei was also very happy. He had been a grandfather for many years and now he finally became a grandpa.

After both parties congratulated each other, Deng Shirong said, "Mother-in-law, now that the child is born, the most important thing is to take good care of Qinghua's body and replenish the vitality damaged by childbirth. Our ancestors have used ginger wine to nourish the bodies of new mothers for hundreds of years, and the effect is very good. I wonder if you have any good nourishing methods?"

Mother Pei asked in confusion: "My dear, what is this ginger wine?"

Deng Shirong explained: "It is a nourishing food made with old ginger, locally brewed rice wine and large capons. Mothers in our area eat this during their confinement. The more they eat, the better their body recovers."

Mother Pei suddenly realized, "So this is ginger wine. Since it has been proven for hundreds of years, it must have its reasons. We don't have any particularly effective tonic food here, so let's use this ginger wine to regulate Qinghua's body!"

Deng Shirong said: "Ginger wine is good, but I don't know if Qinghua can eat it. Most of the pregnant women in our area like to eat this. The pregnant women who are particularly good at eating can eat dozens of chickens, hundreds of kilograms of wine, and dozens of kilograms of ginger during one month.

Generally, women who eat a lot after giving birth recover very well, and their damaged energy can be fully restored in one month."

"Try it first. It's best if she can eat it. If not, try something else."

"Okay, then when I'm discharged from the hospital tomorrow, I'll make ginger wine for Qinghua to try."

…

The next day at noon.

A quadrangle with three entrances.

Deng Shirong stewed a pot of ginger wine with a strong aroma for his third daughter-in-law.

Deng Yunsong served his wife a bowl and said, "Qinghua, this is the ginger wine that is indispensable for postpartum women in our area. Can you try it and see if you can eat it?"

Mother Pei continued, "I heard from my in-laws that this is the most nourishing food for women who have just given birth. Eating it will be good for your recovery."

"Let me try what it tastes like." Pei Qinghua picked up a piece of chicken with chopsticks, then put it in his mouth and started eating.

Deng Yunsong asked expectantly, "How does it taste? Can you eat it?"

Pei Qinghua smiled and said, "Except for the smell of alcohol when you first put it in your mouth, this chicken actually tastes pretty good."

Deng Yunsong heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Why don't you try a sip of the soup?"

Pei Qinghua took a spoonful of soup and drank it. While tasting it, he said, "This soup tastes like rice wine, but it's much better than rice wine. Although I can drink one or two cups of rice wine, it's torture to drink it. I can't taste what's so good about rice wine. But this ginger wine is different. It tastes much better than rice wine."

"That's fine. The more you drink ginger wine, the better it tastes. Many women in our area become addicted to ginger wine during their confinement period. When they feel craving for it, they'll also make ginger wine chicken to eat."

At this point, Deng Shirong looked at Pei's mother and said, "Mother-in-law, this is also considered a dish in our place. You can also try it and see how it tastes."

Mother Pei was not polite and said, "Okay, I'll try it too."

Deng Yunsong was quick to react and immediately served a bowl for his mother-in-law.

After tasting it, Pei's mother commented: "It is indeed unique. I am not used to eating it as a dish, but if you really drink this soup as wine, it tastes really good. No wonder the women in your family like to eat this."

Deng Shirong smiled, and then everyone started talking about everything from ginger wine, which is used to regulate the body and replenish energy, to the various customs of confinement.

When the meal was almost finished, Deng Shirong looked at his third son and daughter-in-law and asked, "Have you thought of a name for the child?"

Deng Yunsong nodded and said, "I've made up my mind. Let's name him Deng Changding. I hope he can become a man of great stature when he grows up."

Deng Shirong praised: "This is a good name."

Mother Pei also praised him, and then asked, "What is the child's nickname?"

Pei Qinghua said: "Let's call him Lele. May he be happy all his life."

Deng Shirong naturally applauded when he heard this. To be honest, it was indeed much better than those nicknames like "Dog Big, Dog Two, Dog Three" in their countryside.

…

Nanning.

The construction of the snack street has attracted the attention of the general public since its start. During the construction, in order to promote the popularity of this food street, banners with the name of Nanning Snack Street were erected in advance at the beginning and end of the street.

At the same time, the construction workers were also told to answer truthfully if anyone asked.

Therefore, the construction of this snack street spread to the surrounding areas from the very beginning, and then spread to the whole Nanning.

Especially those bosses who run various snack businesses have been paying close attention to the construction of this snack street. They have also been waiting for the snack street to start being rented out, preparing to take over one of the shops to run their snack businesses.

Qin Fengzhen, who runs a mobile sour food stall, is one of them.

Nanning Sour Food is a traditional snack in Nanning. Sour Food is also called sour food, which refers to sour products such as pickled fruits and vegetables.

This kind of sour snack can be said to be found throughout Guangxi.

Northern Guangxi’s characteristics are long pickling time, strong spiciness, strong sourness, and aged taste.

Southern Guangxi’s cuisine is characterized by being cold, fresh, slightly sour, slightly sweet and spicy, and is most famous in Nanning, which has a history of 300 years.

As Nanning is located in southern Xinjiang, the climate is hot and humid all year round, so the locals rely on eating sour foods to quench their thirst, refresh themselves and remove moisture.

Over time, eating sour food became a local eating habit.

There is also a proverb that has been circulating in Nanning: Even a hero cannot resist the temptation of beautiful women, and even a beautiful woman cannot resist the temptation of sour food.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

This sour stuff is indeed a favorite of women.

Since her husband passed away ten years ago, the family lost its pillar and it was like the sky had fallen. Qin Fengzhen finally gritted her teeth and set up a stall to sell sour food. With the income from selling sour food, she finally raised her three children.

In particular, the eldest daughter studied hard and was successfully admitted to a key university, which finally made those who looked down on them as an orphan and a widow take notice of her.

Qin Fengzhen had run a sour food stall for ten years, so she knew that the profits from sour food were very good. However, a mobile stall like hers could never be expanded. Over the years, she had always wanted to rent a shop to run her business.

But it is not easy to rent a suitable shop.

However, since the construction of Nanning Snack Street started, Qin Fengzhen became interested after learning more about it.

She has been setting up stalls for ten years and has her own understanding of doing business. She has a feeling that a snack street like this with all the food concentrated together will definitely attract a large number of customers to consume here. If she can rent a shop to do business, she should be able to make money.

This shop can not only be used to sell sour food, but also run other businesses. Her two sons have no talent for studying, so she can take them to do business, which will be a way out for them in the future.

Therefore, Qin Fengzhen has been paying attention to this snack street since its construction began.

Now, this snack street has finally been built and is open for rent.

Qin Fengzhen immediately took her eldest daughter, who had just returned from vacation, and went straight to the snack street, preparing to rent a shop with a good location to do business.

At the same time, other merchants who had been paying attention to the snack street like Qin Fengzhen also rushed over as soon as they knew that the snack street started to rent out their spaces.

On the first day of renting out the snack street, it would be an exaggeration to say that there were crowds of people, but dozens of businesses came, so it could be considered a good start.

The person who came to manage the snack street today was none other than Deng Yunhua.

The shops in this snack street are not of uniform size, but are of different sizes. The larger ones can be used to open restaurants, while the smaller ones can be used to sell snacks that do not take up much space, thus meeting the needs of different businesses.

The areas vary in size and the locations vary in quality, so the rental prices naturally fluctuate.

Today, Deng Yunhua was just here to take charge, and the actual work was done by his subordinates.

At this time, the bored Deng Yunhua was looking at the tenants, and as he looked at them, he couldn't help but smile.

Once these tenants rent the shops in the snack street, they will continue to provide rent to them. Once all the shops in the snack street are rented out, it will be easy for them to earn millions a year.

He doesn't have to do anything and just wait to collect the money every quarter. This kind of good thing is really perfect for Deng Yunhua.

Among the seven siblings, the other brothers and sisters are all very motivated. Even Deng Yunzhu, who is a poor student like Deng Yunhua, is just not interested in studying. After graduating from high school and starting a business, she also diligently runs her own chain of hot pot restaurants. Now her annual income has reached several million or even nearly 10 million, second only to her eldest brother and sister-in-law.

The only exception was Deng Yunhua, who had no talent for studying and was not very enthusiastic about doing business. In the words of later generations, he was just giving up.

This is also the main reason why he has been guarding Wuyue Plaza, a home appliance city, for several years and has not expanded.

However, Deng Yunhua's bad behavior does not mean that he does not like money.

Now, his father has handed over the management of the snack street to him, which makes him very happy. He only needs to rent out all the shops and wait for the money every quarter. The daily management can be left to the people under him.

This kind of landlord job that doesn't require much thinking is really suitable for him.

Deng Yunhua was looking at the prospective tenants in front of her happily, and was suddenly attracted by a beautiful woman in the crowd.

This beauty is estimated to be about 1.65 meters tall, with a very pretty face. She is probably in her early twenties, with a simple ponytail on her head. Her figure looks perfect, big where it should be big, and small where it should be small.

Although she was dressed casually, the youthful and beautiful girl looked radiant and confident. At the moment, she was accompanying a middle-aged woman, holding the shop lease contract and looking at it carefully.

Deng Yunhua is 24 years old this year, and it is time for him to get married. Although he is the least promising one in the family, he has a good father. Given his family's financial conditions, he naturally would not look down on ordinary women.

His wife doesn't have to reach the same level as his three sisters-in-law, but at least she can't be too far behind.

Deng Yunhua has already prepared himself mentally for a slow search.

After all, real beauties are a scarce resource in any era and are not something you can easily come across. Moreover, having a good figure and good looks is not enough; one also needs to consider whether the other person’s character is up to par.

As the saying goes: "Marrying an unvirtuous wife will ruin three generations."

"Without a good wife in one generation, there will be no good sons in three generations."

"A good woman brings prosperity to three generations, but a fierce woman ruins a family."

These proverbs all indicate that one must marry a wife with outstanding character, and a wife with outstanding character and beauty is not that easy to find! But he never expected that when the snack street was open for rent today, he actually saw a beautiful woman who met his aesthetic standards.

The moment he saw this beautiful lady, Deng Yunhua's heart was moved...

…

While her eldest daughter Fan Yuemei was reading the contract, Qin Fengzhen was still bargaining with the staff: "Comrade, can you give us an extension for the renovation time?"

The staff member politely replied: "Auntie, I'm so sorry, the renovation time cannot be changed, and three months of renovation time is indeed enough for the shop you want to rent."

Qin Fengzhen said, "Can the preferential rent period be extended a little longer? After all, your snack street has just been built, and the number of customers it attracts is limited. Business will definitely be difficult in the early stages. If the preferential period is not extended a little, those of us who run small businesses may not be able to survive!"

The staff member smiled and said, "Auntie, the discount period we offer is long enough. The first three months are free of rent, and the rent is 50% off within one year. I believe that with such a long discount period, it is enough for you to start your business."

Qin Fengzhen still did not give up and continued to fight: "Comrade..."

While her mother was bargaining with the other party, Fan Yuemei carefully read the lease contract. This contract was drafted by a professional lawyer, so there would naturally be no problems.

After reading the contract, she did not interrupt, but stood quietly beside her mother, listening to her mother bargaining bit by bit.

After some time of negotiation, the staff reluctantly gave in and said, "Auntie, I'll extend the rental discount period for another two months!"

Although Qin Fengzhen still wanted to continue to fight for more concessions, she also knew that it was unlikely that the other party would continue to make concessions, so she looked at her eldest daughter and asked, "Yuemei, is there any problem with this contract?"

Fan Yuemei nodded and said, "No problem, you can sign it."

At this moment, Deng Yunhua came over with a smile on his face and said, "Hello, Auntie. I am the manager of this snack street. I will take over your contract."

While speaking, Deng Yunhua also winked at the staff.

The staff member was also smart and immediately introduced: "Auntie, this is our Manager Deng."

"Hello, Manager Deng."

Qin Fengzhen greeted him in confusion. They had already agreed to sign the contract, but Manager Deng intervened. What did he mean by that? Was the two-month preferential period that she had just negotiated with so much effort going to be invalidated?

Deng Yunhua asked: "Auntie, I want to ask you what business you plan to do by renting this shop?"

Qin Fengzhen frowned slightly and asked, "Manager Deng, what kind of business do I do? Does it have anything to do with renting a shop?"

Deng Yunhua smiled and said, "Auntie, don't get me wrong. Our positioning here is a snack street. Although we don't stipulate what snacks tenants must sell, we do have policies to support snacks that are unique and delicious.

If the snacks you sell are in line with the positioning of our snack street, I can give you more discounts."

Qin Fengzhen's eyes lit up when she heard that, and she quickly said, "Manager Deng, the snacks I sell are sour snacks. I've been doing this for ten years, and the taste is absolutely amazing. I'm also planning to make some pickled chicken feet, duck feet, etc., which should all fit the positioning of a snack street, right?"

“It really fits the positioning of our snack street.”

At this point, Deng Yunhua looked at the young and beautiful Fan Yuemei and asked, "Auntie, is this your daughter? Do you run this store yourself or do you let your daughter run it?"

Qin Fengzhen said proudly: "Of course I'm the one who runs the store. My daughter is still in college!"

…

PS: I just mentioned the update yesterday, and the monthly votes immediately skyrocketed. It seems that you have always been there and never left. I am so lucky to meet you.
