Chapter 193: Ginger Duck Soup

Hearing the young lady ask this, Wang Silan couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Then she thought of something and whispered to Hang Jingshu, "Don't tell anyone else about this. Your brother Baozhu already had two children.

Due to poor conditions at home and the exhaustion from work, your Aunt Wang gave birth to two children prematurely, a boy and a girl, both of whom died when they were born.

Baozhu is the third one.

The reason why I named him Baozhu is to protect this child."

…

I didn't expect it to be like this.

No wonder Wang Fuqin likes herself so much every time.

Hang Jingshu remained silent.

It's very common for a few children to die these days.

It was better in the 1980s, but in the 1940s and 1960s, the death of a few children was like losing a few cats and dogs.

I don't care about being sad at all.

Being alive was still a problem, and people at that time were numb.

Speaking of this, Wang Silan couldn't help but sigh: "Our family's conditions are pretty good, and all four of you sisters are alive.

In the early years, your brother Baozhu's family was very poor, and Wang Fuqin was injured during childbirth, so she only had this one precious baby."

The topic was too serious, so the mother and daughter chatted for a few words and then changed the subject.

"Fortunately, things are getting better now. It's the same in my family."

Hang Jingshu nodded and said that things would definitely get better.

When he got home at night, Hang Jingshu made some cold noodles first, and then went to open the door when he heard some noise outside. It must be Hang Renshan.

As there were many people in the family, Hang Jingshu made three kinds of halite.

Tomatoes and eggs, diced potatoes, eggplant and pork, and diced beans and pork with salt.

Summer in the north is surrounded by beans and eggplants, as well as endless gourds and loofahs.

Hang Renshan took a shower as soon as he entered the door, washed off the dirt and sweat, and sat in the courtyard to eat noodles, feeling refreshed.

In the midsummer, a breeze blew through the courtyard. Hang Renshan wiped his sweat and said, "This weather is really hot and makes people lose their temper."

The sun is shining brightly and it has been hot since I woke up this morning.

It makes people so hot that they don’t want to talk, and so sunburned that they lose their temper.

Hang Renshan is very energetic and doesn't feel tired even after riding his bike back and forth every day.

It's only been two days and I've gotten a degree darker.

It takes a long time to ride from the city to the village. Hang Jingshu was really worried that he would get a heat stroke, so he simply suggested, "Dad, why don't you buy a motorcycle? It will be more convenient for you to travel."

Hang Chenggang paused while holding the bowl and said, "Indeed, buying a motorcycle will make it more convenient for doing housework."

Hang Jingshu was the one who gave the suggestion, but the final decision was made by Wang Silan.

Seeing her son, daughter, and Hang Renshan all looking at her, Wang Silan chuckled, "Just buy it. It's not like I don't have money."

The money for a motorcycle is not something that our Mr. Wang would worry about.

It is so cool to buy a motorcycle now. In China, only Haicheng can produce motorcycles. The price is good, but the performance is average.

This kind of thing may not be accomplished by someone else, but it will definitely be possible to ask President Dai.

Now Jinglan is the bank's most important client. With President Dai's connections, it is easy for her to get a motorcycle.

Hang Renshan smiled and picked up some food for his wife: "Then I'll benefit greatly."

Wang Silan glanced at Hang Renshan and said, "What do you mean by taking advantage of others? Whatever you want to do, our family will naturally support you."

"By the way," Wang Silan reminded Hang Jingshu after the family finished their meal, "The peaches are still in the refrigerator. You should go to Yan's house tomorrow to check."

Hang Jingshu put away the dishes and nodded: "Well, I've just finished the work at hand, I'll go tomorrow."

Every time he came back, Hang Jingshu would report to Yan's house.

This time was no exception, especially since she also called Gu Zhengguo to Guangdong City.

It was not yet eight o'clock, and Hang Jingshu went to the vegetable market with a basket.

Just drop a line at the gate on the way so that the two old folks won't be busy.

Hang Jingshu bought some clams and spare ribs, and specially asked someone to buy an old duck. The Yan family had no shortage of vegetables, so Hang Jingshu bought some more seasonings and rode slowly to the Yan family.

"Xiaohang is here!"

As soon as Yu Lihong opened the door, she happily took the things from Hang Jingshu's hand: "You are finally here. Grandma has been talking about you for a long time."

Hang Jingshu looked into the kitchen and saw that the aunt was still the same.

It seems that both sides have adapted well.

Grandma Yan was sitting in the living room, and this time Hang Jingshu also became a guest.

"Grandma, these are peaches that are a specialty of Lucheng. You can try them when you have time."

Grandma Yan wore reading glasses and looked at Hang Jingshu carefully: "You have lost weight. Maybe you have been too busy recently."

Gu Zhengguo's trip to Yuecheng was not a secret from anyone, so the two elders of the Yan family naturally knew what Xiaohang was instigating.

Hang Jingshu chuckled: "It's okay to lose some weight after all the trouble, but the real thing is to make money."

Seeing her being so honest, Grandma Yan couldn't help but laugh and pointed at her with her finger: "You~you."

Yu Lihong was very considerate. While the two of them were chatting, she washed and cut the peaches and brought them over: "The peaches Xiaohang brought are really good. The kitchen was filled with fragrance when they were cut."

Grandma Yan glanced at Yu Lihong and said, "Well, you can go and eat too."

Yu Lihong went to the kitchen with a smile on her face and chatted with her aunt while eating.

After asking about her studies and chatting a little about Guangdong, Grandpa Yan came back.

The old man is still as energetic as ever. Although he looks a little thinner than last year, he is still in good spirits.

"Xiao Hang is here! An Zi is back today too, so he's in for a treat."

Grandpa Yan sat on the sofa with a big horse and a golden sword. People who have been on the battlefield always have sharp eyes: "Wow, the little girl has grown up a lot."

Hang Jingshu handed over the fruit with a smile: "Look at what you said, I just gained some experience."

Grandpa Yan likes to eat sweet things, but the sugar-coated cakes made by my aunt are always not right.

I happened to meet him today.

Lunch was served, including sweet and sour spare ribs, stir-fried clams, mu shu pork, braised shredded chicken, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, stir-fried green beans, fish fillet with scallions and peppers, and finally young ginger duck soup.

It has flavors from both the north and south, catering to the tastes of everyone in the family.

Yan Chengan was still thin and silent, but he ate his rice a little faster than usual.

"Xiaohang's craftsmanship is really amazing."

The Yan family was bustling, and Gu Zhengguo was naturally indispensable. He held the bowl and teased Hang Jingshu with a smile: "It seems that no matter what you do, your skills have not been lost."

Hang Jingshu is now more familiar with Gu Zhengguo, and he did not give in to him after hearing this: "It seems that I have to come back and practice my skills regularly, otherwise some people will find fault with me."

At the dinner table, people came and went. In addition to chatting, Gu Zhengguo also made jokes, and everyone was smiling during the meal.

This time, Hang Jingshu didn't have to help wash the dishes. He just sat on the sofa and chatted with everyone.

Grandpa Yan took a sip of tea and said, "Okay, let's talk about what you guys are doing."

Is this program still on today?

Hang Jingshu looked at Gu Zhengguo in confusion.

The equity between them has almost been determined, and their proportions have been stipulated. The fate of the Yan family at this time may not be easy to deal with.

Although Hang Jingshu was a little surprised, he immediately understood what Grandpa Yan meant.

"We went to Shenzhen this time to see how the toy factory there operates, and we want to open one here as well."

Hang Jingshu said this while looking at Gu Zhengguo's expression.

Seeing that he looked normal, he continued.

"I think it would be best if we could cooperate with Pengda. If not, I will think of other ways."

If summer vacation wasn't about to end, Hang Jingshu really wanted to go abroad to see the world.

Going abroad is not that troublesome now, especially for a college student like her.

Grandpa Yan stroked the cup in his hand and said, "You mean, you want to start a private enterprise here and follow the same export path as Pengda?"

Hang Jingshu shook his head.

That's simply a thankless task!

Pengda's geographical location is so good that it would be beyond Jinglan's capabilities to compete in the same overseas market.

Even in later generations, Wancheng is still the best at making toys.

Seeing Hang Jingshu shaking her head, Grandpa Yan stopped asking and listened to her carefully: "Pengda's operating model is a foreign-funded enterprise model, and we cannot completely copy it in the mainland.

Moreover, although there is a port in northern Hebei, it is far less convenient than that in Guangdong City.

What I want is direct authorization of foreign toys.

The reason for contacting Pengda is to better understand the operation mode of foreign-funded enterprises. ”

Yan Chengan tapped his slender fingers lightly: "So, you want to start a local business."

You have great ambitions.

No wonder they want to get others to invest together.

This is obviously not something that Hang Jingshu can organize.

Yan Cheng'an was talking about Hang Jingshu's final plan, which was very insightful.

She did not deny: "Yes."

Local enterprises have no foreign investment, but need to cooperate with foreign investment.

Each word can be heard clearly, but when put together it reveals a staggering ambition.

Grandpa Yan became more interested: "Why do you have such an idea?"

Hang Jingshu chuckled: "To make money, I only make a few bucks by trading small commodities. If I want to do it, I should start from the source."

There are many things in her mind that she cannot say, and her goals are not that grand. She just wants to get a piece of the meat when the big guys eat it.

Given Jibei's geographical location, Hasbro will definitely not choose to cooperate with her exclusively. If it wants to get a piece of the pie, it has to plan ahead.

Who wouldn’t be jealous when they can achieve sales of a million in just one month?

The money in the 80s was so valuable. With this start-up capital, I will be more confident no matter what I do in the future.

"Okay!" Grandpa Yan patted the armrest of the sofa excitedly, "Young people must have this kind of fighting spirit!"

Hang Jingshu listened quietly to what Grandpa Yan said. He certainly wouldn't ask these questions suddenly.

As expected, Master Yan paused for a moment and then spoke: "I don't think you and Xiao Gu can handle this matter alone. The city needs to get involved as well."

Grandpa Yan participated in the revolution in his early years. Although he has retired now, his family connections are still there.

He has two sons, one of whom is a leader in Fengcheng, so if he can accomplish this, it can be considered a political achievement.

After all, the slogan of poverty alleviation has been raised, and local policies must keep up.

If you want to do these things, you have to do them when the market is blank. Otherwise, by the time others react, these good things will all be taken by others.

The reason why business giants can rise quickly is that they have entered areas that others have not entered.

Grandma Yan is educated and has some understanding of the situation overseas: "The toy business will definitely become more and more profitable.

Nowadays, people’s requirements for quality of life are gradually improving, and they subconsciously believe that foreign products are better. If you grasp this point, you will naturally succeed.”

This is the mainstream now.

Actually, it's a good point. When it came to actually preparing, Hang Jingshu was a little confused.

She really has never done it.

Grandpa Yan was silent for a while and said, "This industry has great development prospects. Xiaohang, you really want to do this, right?"

"Of course!" Hang Jingshu answered decisively.

"During the days we were in Guangdong, Brother Gu and my brother visited almost all the factories in Shenzhen. I sorted out a lot of information and did a lot of preparation for market research. I didn't just say it casually."

Finally, Grandpa Yan made the decision: "Well, bring the information to me in two days."

What is this?

Gu Zhengguo winked at Hang Jingshu, indicating that they should talk about it after they got outside.

After hearing what Grandpa Yan said, Hang Jingshu couldn't sit still any longer and wanted to go back to get the information.

Gu Zhengguo smiled and saw her out: "Xiaohang, how are you? Am I reliable?"

Before, Hang Jingshu was quite worried because of the unsuccessful cooperation with Pengda.

But now, everything seems to be getting better inexplicably.

"Brother Gu, you are so awesome," Hang Jingshu praised him highly.

She never thought about bringing the Yan family into the partnership.

But Gu Zhengguo had a different idea: "Xiaohang, if you want to do it, do it big. Your plan is good, but there is one thing you can't bring yourself to do."

Hang Jingshu smiled slightly and said, "Brother Gu, I didn't think it through."

The two of them walked slowly in the courtyard. Gu Zhengguo shook his head: "It's not that you didn't think it through, but that you don't want to."

Why not? Because I don’t want to waste the friendship with the Yan family.

She has always kept this as a backup plan.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

Gu Zhengguo had been around the Yan family since he was a child, so he naturally knew their personalities: "Grandpa and grandma are both people who can accept new things, and you didn't abuse the little affection between us."

What is Hang Jingshu to the Yan family?

She was a nanny who used to work very hard. If she had asked the Yan family for help with everything without knowing the importance of it, she would probably not even be able to enter the compound now.

The more you use it, the shallower the friendship between people becomes, especially when the relationship between the two parties is unequal.

What Gu Zhengguo said also made sense. What she was planning now would be a good thing no matter which unit it fell into.

We mentioned at the meeting that increasing production and revenue will be a key area of ​​support in the future.

With such a good project, it is of course more reliable to cooperate with people you trust.

Hang Jingshu also figured it out. Gu Zhengguo was giving her a hint. She thanked Gu Zhengguo very seriously: "Brother Gu, thank you for your advice."

Gu Zhengguo waved his hands repeatedly: "This is not something that can be accomplished with just a few suggestions. I'm cooperating with you because this project is really good enough."

In his opinion, Xiaohang is good in every way except that he is a little stubborn.

However, it is precisely because of this stubbornness that the two elders of the Yan family like him so much.

The Yan family has kept a low profile since Grandpa Yan retired. Although his two sons have good academic performance now, they are obviously unable to carry on the family business.

Now, only Yan Chengan has grown up among their grandchildren, and they really need a good project to give their younger generations confidence.

If the two sides collide, it can be considered a win-win situation.
