Chapter 444: In this small area of the snack street, my words still have an effect
Nanning.
Snack street.
When Deng Yunhua took over the conversation between the staff and his mother, Fan Yuemei felt that the other party was targeting her. This feeling made no sense and no logic, but she firmly believed that her feeling would not be wrong.
This feeling was later called women's sixth sense.
As expected, after talking to her mother for a few words, Manager Deng turned the topic to her. Although it seemed like a casual question, Fan Yuemei knew that he was probably trying to get information about her indirectly.
Fan Yuemei was no stranger to similar scenes.
After all, she had been liked by male classmates since elementary school. In high school, a bold male classmate wrote to her to confess his love. In college, she had many suitors. Therefore, she had already seen similar methods of inquiring about her information indirectly.
"So you are a college student. No wonder you have such an outstanding temperament." Deng Yunhua couldn't help but admire.
This girl has a good figure and good looks. She is also a college student. As long as her character is acceptable, she will be an excellent candidate.
Hearing Deng Yunhua's praise, Qin Fengzhen immediately smiled. The thing that made her most proud in her life was that her daughter was successfully admitted to a key university. She would have a stable job as soon as she graduated next year. Her status and position would be much better than that of a small vendor like her.
However, although Qin Fengzhen was proud, she also knew that the most important thing at the moment was to rent this shop at the most favorable price.
She didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Manager Deng, I wonder if I can enjoy this discount?"
Deng Yunhua smiled and said, "Auntie, although I believe in your cooking skills, I still need to taste it myself. After all, practice is the only criterion for testing truth. If the taste is really good, then I can make the decision to extend the free decoration time for you to half a year, and the preferential rent time to one and a half years, so that you will have enough time to run your own business."
Qin Fengzhen asked with surprise, "Manager Deng, are you serious?"
It was no wonder that she reacted like this. After all, she had negotiated with the previous staff for a long time and only got a two-month rent discount. Now, Manager Deng not only extended the rent discount period to one and a half years, but even the most important free decoration period was extended to half a year.
By this calculation, she can save at least more than 2,000 yuan, which is not a small amount.
Deng Yunhua secretly glanced at Fan Yuemei and replied with a smile: "Of course it's true."
Qin Fengzhen looked at her daughter excitedly and ordered, "Yuemei, go back and bring some sour ingredients for Manager Deng to taste."
"OK."
Although she knew that Deng Yunhua's motives were not pure, such a large discount could indeed save her family a lot of money, so when she heard her mother's instructions, Fan Yuemei obediently responded and prepared to go back and bring some sour food for this man to taste.
Deng Yunhua seized the opportunity and said, "Auntie, why don't I go with you to take a look and pick out some sour food that I like to eat."
"It's not far anyway, so Yuemei, take Manager Deng to try our sour food!" Qin Fengzhen agreed without hesitation.
Anyway, the sour food stall is not at home, but is sold outside. As for the one who is watching over the stall, it is naturally her son. In addition, with Deng Yunhua's identity as the supervisor, there is no need to worry about the other party kidnapping her daughter in broad daylight.
Therefore, she let her daughter take Manager Deng to her own sour food stall to taste the sour stuff. She was not worried at all that her daughter would be in danger.
Fan Yuemei gave Deng Yunhua a meaningful look and said politely, "Manager Deng, please follow me."
Seeing Fan Yuemei's eyes, Deng Yunhua knew that his little thoughts were most likely seen through. However, he had to say that her eyes were really charming. Just a glance at him, those eyes seemed to be able to speak, making people unable to help but be obsessed.
After leaving the snack street, Deng Yunhua said, "My name is Deng Yunhua, what's your name, young lady?"
Fan Yuemei said, "Please don't mention your surname, Fan."
"Fan Yuemei, what a good name!"
Deng Yunhua praised him and then asked, "Where did you go to college, Mr. Fan?"
Fan Yuemei answered concisely: "Wuhan."
Deng Yunhua smiled and said, "What a coincidence! My second sister-in-law is from Wuhan. I wonder which university you are in?"
Fan Yuemei was also a little surprised when she heard this. She paused before answering, "Wuhan University."
Deng Yunhua gave a thumbs up and praised: "So you are a top student from a key university, you are really amazing. I envy you who are gifted in studying, unlike me who barely finished high school and then had no more books to read."
Fan Yuemei shook her head as she walked, "I'm not a gifted child. I was able to get into a key university because of my ten years of hard work."
Deng Yunhua said: "I know the importance of hard work, but academic talent is also very important. When I was in junior high school, I also tried to work hard for a period of time, but no matter how hard I studied, I was hit hard when the test results came out.
I tried hard but saw no progress. That was the most despairing feeling. After trying several times without success, I finally gave up. ”
Fan Yuemei was silent for a moment, then said, "I am different from you."
Deng Yunhua did not delve into the difference, but continued to ask: "Student Fan, what year are you in now?"
Fan Yuemei said: "Junior year, graduating next year."
Deng Yunhua exclaimed: "That's great. I'll have a stable job after graduation."
Fan Yuemei smiled and said, "Not necessarily better than you. You are the manager of the snack street now, you have a lot of power!"
Deng Yunhua was stunned by the sudden smile. He swallowed his saliva and said, "Student Fan, please stop making fun of me. I dare not compete with a top student like you. But in this small area of the snack street, my words still have some effect. If Auntie really does business in the snack street, you can find me if you encounter any problems in the future."
Fan Yuemei naturally didn't know the weight of this promise, but she still sincerely thanked him: "Thank you, Director Deng."
As the two were talking, they unknowingly arrived at Fan's sour food stall.
"Sister, why are you back? Where's mom?"
"Sister, who is this? Is he your classmate?"
The people asking the questions were Fan Yuemei's two younger brothers. The elder one was named Fan Zhiwen and the younger one was named Fan Zhiwu. Their names meant being good at both civil and military affairs. Unfortunately, the brothers' academic talents were comparable to Deng Yunhua's, and they both dropped out of school after barely finishing junior high school.
"Mom is still at the snack street. This is Manager Deng from the snack street. He came to check out the taste of our sour food."
After saying that, Fan Yuemei looked at Deng Yunhua and said, "Manager Deng, look at what sour food you want to eat and let my brother make it for you."
Deng Yunhua looked at the sour food stall with all kinds of sour ingredients and nodded, "Then give me some pineapple, mango, radish, cabbage, papaya and the like, but in smaller quantities. My teeth can't stand sour food, so just give it a simple taste."
Fan Zhiwen nodded and said, "Okay, Manager Deng, please wait a moment. It will be ready soon."
Fan Yuemei greeted, "Manager Deng, there is a small table here, please sit here and eat!"
Deng Yunhua didn't hesitate and walked to the small table next to him and sat down.
Soon, the sour food he ordered was served, and Deng Yunhua took a bamboo skewer to try it.
The three siblings of the Fan family all stared at him intently.
At this time, the Fan brothers had heard from their sister that if the taste of their sour ingredients could be approved by the manager Deng in front of them, they would be able to get the biggest discount when renting a shop in the snack street and save a lot of money. Naturally, the two brothers were extremely nervous.
Deng Yunhua tasted all the sour ingredients, including pineapple, mango, radish, cabbage, papaya, etc., before saying to the three brothers and sisters of the Fan family who were looking expectant, "It tastes good. Auntie's cooking skills are indeed in line with the positioning of our snack street."
The three siblings of the Fan family breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and smiled at the same time.
Deng Yunhua quickly finished the small amount of sour food, then looked at Fan Yuemei and said, "Student Fan, let's go. We can go back and sign the contract."
Fan Yuemei smiled and nodded, then walked back to the snack street with Deng Yunhua.
After leaving the sour food stall, Fan Yuemei couldn't help but ask, "Manager Deng, your snack street is offering such preferential conditions. Are you trying to gather many unique and delicious snacks to increase the popularity of the snack street?"
Deng Yunhua would never think so far ahead. He did this just to get closer to Fan Yuemei. But after hearing what she said, he suddenly felt that this idea was quite good, so he nodded and said, "Student Fan is really smart. We do have this idea in our snack street."
Fan Yuemei said: "If we can really gather all the snacks with unique characteristics from Guangxi and even the whole country into this snack street, it will probably attract many diners to patronize it soon. Then the reputation of the snack street will naturally become more and more famous, and then attract more diners to patronize it.
This will create a virtuous cycle. The rents of shops in this snack street will probably get higher and higher in the future. Your boss really knows how to run a business!"
Deng Yunhua laughed and said, "This snack street is booming, and the businesses will definitely do better and better. In my father's words, this is a win-win situation. It is good for both our snack street and you businesses."
Fan Yuemei was a little surprised when she heard this. The adjective "win-win" is very vivid and easy to understand. The father of Manager Deng could say such words, so it seems that he is not a simple person.
Soon, the two returned to the snack street.
Qin Fengzhen, who had been waiting, immediately cast an inquiring look at her daughter. Seeing her daughter nod slightly, she asked confidently, "Manager Deng, did the sour sauce made by Auntie disappoint you?"
Deng Yunhua smiled and praised: "Auntie's cooking skills are really good. She is exactly the kind of merchant our snack street needs."
Qin Fengzhen smiled and said, "What about this contract?"
Deng Yunhua made the decision: "Just sign it according to the favorable terms I agreed to before."
"Thank you, Manager Deng." Qin Fengzhen thanked him happily.
"Thank you!" Fan Yuemei also thanked him.
Deng Yunhua said with a smile: "You're welcome, this is what you deserve."
Immediately, both parties began to sign the contract. Deng Yunhua naturally did not need to do anything, as his staff could handle it.
After signing the contract, Qin Fengzhen and her daughter said hello to Deng Yunhua and left the snack street happily.
…
Misfortunes often lie behind good fortunes, and good fortunes often lie behind misfortunes.
This is really a true saying. After the collapse of Big Brother, it certainly brought great benefits to our country, but our country also became the Big Brother in the circle and had to bear tremendous pressure that did not belong to us.
For example, this year, when Deng Shirong was holding a full-month banquet for his grandson in his hometown, some old gangster in our country was riding on his head and pooping and pissing on him.
It is not convenient to elaborate on the specific process, but anyway, the old gangster found a random excuse to make us stand at attention and get beaten. And when we were beaten, we were not allowed to fight back or even hide. If I dared to hide, the old gangster would attack my relatives behind me. He was so arrogant and unreasonable.
As an ordinary person in the country, if you don't pay attention to this kind of thing, then it will be over and the sun will rise as usual tomorrow. It will not have any impact on the lives of ordinary people.
However, once you pay attention to this matter, you will feel extremely depressed.
In his previous life, Deng Shirong was just an ordinary citizen who paid little attention to national affairs and lived a muddle-headed life.
It was not until his later years when he came into contact with the Internet and watched a large number of short videos and novels that he had a clear understanding of my country's development over the past few decades. Only then did he realize how much humiliation my country had endured in the process of development, and how difficult it was for the motherland to become as powerful as it is in later generations.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
However, after all, those humiliations are already a thing of the past, and even if our country becomes powerful in the future, it is not possible to take revenge on the powerful old gangsters. Therefore, after Deng Shirong learned how difficult my country was back then, he could not do anything. He could only curse the old gangsters and boycott their products, that's all.
After being reborn in this life, Deng Shirong has been paying attention to national affairs. Now our country is being bullied by the old rogue, and the incident has caused a lot of uproar. The whole world is paying attention to it, and it is on the front page of mainstream media in various countries. You can imagine how big the incident is.
With the whole world watching, no Chinese with a conscience can stand being bullied like this by an old rogue.
Therefore, the wave of anti-old gangsters in the country is getting higher and higher. If the war starts now, I believe many patriotic young people will be willing to join the army.
Deng Shirong follows the news every day. Although he knows the final outcome of this incident, the emotions evoked by watching the course of events in the future and by what is happening in real time now are completely different.
In his previous life, Deng Shirong would have just cursed a few times, but now he reads the news reports about this incident every day, and even though his mental age is over a hundred years old, he is still infuriated by the old rogue’s shamelessness.
So, Deng Shirong immediately made a decision to visit the old rogue. It happened that his treasure trove was not rich enough. He believed that a stroll around the old rogue would make his treasure trove become a treasure trove that would truly be rich enough to rival a country.
As for how to deal with these things in the future, he will talk about it later. Now he just wants to vent his anger.
However, before heading to the old rogue country, Deng Shirong must first fulfill his promise to take his grandchildren on a trip.
Needless to say, in this semester's final exam, Xiaodong'er naturally sat firmly at the top of the grade.
Dongzi performed above his level this semester, ranking 16th in the class, which was a rare achievement. He was so proud of himself that he came back with an attitude of not recognizing anyone as his own, looking down on everyone and being extremely arrogant.
Xiao Dong'er couldn't stand his smug look, and said with disdain, "Dongzi, I only got 16th place in the class. I've been too embarrassed to see anyone for a long time. But you're still excited, aren't you?"
Facing her sister, a super academic master, Dongzi did not dare to be arrogant, and quickly lowered her eyebrows and said docilely: "Sister, I don't have it."
Deng Shirong couldn't help but smile when he saw this: "Well, where do you two want to go this summer?"
Xiao Dong'er had already thought about it, and blurted out: "Grandpa, I want to go swimming in the North Sea."
Deng Shirong nodded, looked at his grandson and said, "Dongzi, what about you?"
Dongzi always followed her sister's lead and immediately replied, "Grandpa, I want to go swimming in the North Sea, too."
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Okay, then let's go swimming in the North Sea and set off tomorrow."
After the two little guys walked away happily, Deng Shirong looked at his fourth son and asked, "Xiaohua, I heard that you have your eyes on the daughter of a merchant in the snack street?"
Deng Yunhua nodded and replied, "We haven't made any progress yet. I was planning to tell you when there is progress."
Deng Shirong asked: "Do you understand the other party's situation clearly?"
Deng Yunhua smiled and said, "I have asked someone to find out clearly. Her name is Fan Yuemei. Her father passed away ten years ago. Her mother set up a sour food stall to earn money to support the three siblings to study. However, her two younger brothers did not have much talent for studying and dropped out of school after junior high school.
She is a student with excellent academic performance. After ten years of hard work, she was successfully admitted to Wuhan University and will graduate next year."
Deng Shirong asked: "How's your figure and appearance?"
Deng Yunhua chuckled and said, "She has a good figure and looks, not much worse than the three sisters-in-law."
Deng Shirong nodded and said, "Then this condition is indeed very good. What is her reputation?"
Deng Yunhua said with a smile on his face: "She has a very good reputation, is sensible, and filial. If she were not still studying, her door would probably have been broken down by matchmakers."
Deng Shirong said with satisfaction: "Then you better hurry up. Do you want me to come forward and talk to her mother?"
Deng Yunhua shook his head and said, "Not for now. I will slowly get in touch with her and see if I can win her over."
Deng Shirong hummed and said, "Then you can do it yourself. Tell me when you have the result."
"Okay, I got it!"
…
The next day, Deng Shirong took his grandchildren to travel to Beihai.
Beihai is an important starting port of the ancient "Maritime Silk Road" and one of China's earliest foreign trade ports. Historically, it was one of the main commodity distribution centers for trade between Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangxi, Hunan, Hubei and other provinces and overseas.
At the same time, it is also a national historical and cultural city, the only coastal city in western China included in the first batch of 14 cities further opened to the outside world, and the only city in western China with a deep-water port, an all-weather airport, high-speed railways and highways. It was once selected as one of the "Top 100 Counties and Cities for Real Estate Investment in China" and was named one of the Top Ten Beautiful Cities in China.
In later generations, when talking about tourism in Guangxi, Guilin is the first choice, followed by Beihai.
The area of Beihai Silver Beach exceeds the total of the beaches in Dalian, Yantai, Qingdao, Xiamen and Beidaihe. The beaches are made up of high-quality quartz sand. Under the sunlight, the white and fine sand will glow silver, hence the name Silver Beach.
Beihai Silver Beach is known as the best beach in the world for its characteristics such as "long and flat beach, fine white sand, clean water, soft waves and no sharks".
When going to the Beihai Silver Beach for a swim, Deng Shirong continued his previous travel experience and said to his grandchildren: "Xiao Dong'er, Dongzi, you must pay attention to observation. When you return to the hotel, you must write an essay of no less than 500 words for me."
Writing an essay is a simple task for a top student like Xiao Dong'er. She nodded and said, "Okay, Grandpa."
Dongzi felt bitter in his heart, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he nodded woodenly: "Okay, Grandpa."
Next, the grandfather, grandson and their two children changed into their swimsuits and happily went swimming in the sea.
…
Nanning.
After the family rented a shop in the snack street, her mother was busy decorating the shop, and her two younger brothers also went to help. The burden of looking after the stall fell on Fan Yuemei.
Fortunately, she is not the kind of person who "turns a deaf ear to the world outside the window and only focuses on reading the books of sages". When her mother's sour food stall just started, her mother had to prepare the ingredients, cook for her three siblings and do other housework, as well as run the stall and run the business. She was simply too busy to handle it.
At that time, Fan Yuemei, who was already in her teens, often helped her mother to run the stall and do business.
Now that she has grown up, running a stall and doing business has naturally become a very simple thing for her.
It has to be said that no matter what era it is, good-looking people have an advantage. Fan Yuemei, who has a top-notch figure and appearance, can attract a lot of extra customers just by setting up her sour food stall, and her business is much better than when her mother and brother were running the stall.
At this time, Fan Yuemei was cutting sour ingredients for a customer. She sensed another customer coming and quickly greeted them, "Hello, may I ask..."
As she spoke, Fan Yuemei also raised her head.
After seeing the person in front of her, the helplessness in her eyes flashed away. This person was none other than Manager Deng from the snack street. Since they had met that day, Manager Deng would visit her sour food stall every day, without missing a day.
Fan Yuemei was not stupid, so she naturally knew why he came, but she just never pointed it out.
The main reason was that Manager Deng was quite sensible. He came every day just to eat some sour food. He would talk to her if he had the chance. If not, he would slowly finish his sour food, pay the bill and leave without disturbing her business.
However, this was not a solution. He would not disturb her business, but every day when he came to eat sour food, his eyes would always stay on her, making her feel uncomfortable.
It seems that I need to find some time to talk to him.
This is a long story, but it’s actually just an idea.
Fan Yuemei smiled and asked, "Manager Deng, are we still going to eat those sour dishes today?"
"Yes, give me a little of each of those sour ingredients, just enough to make a plate."
"Well, take a seat first, I'll take it to you in a moment."
"OK."
…
