Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

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 at the time, and the two happened to sit in the same row.

The second time they met was at the La Meizi Hotpot in Nanning, which was a meeting after a few years.

It was originally a very rare chance for such a chance encounter to meet for the second time, but it was unexpected that not long after that, the two met for the third time.

Moreover, the city of the third meeting was changed from Nanning to Guangzhou.

The three meetings were all in different cities, so the two of them could meet each other. It must be said that it was really fate.

Since we are so destined to meet, it is necessary to get to know each other. After Yan Shuwen sat down, she took the initiative to greet him and asked, "Uncle, what's your surname?"

"No, it's Deng."

Deng Shirong smiled slightly, and then said meaningfully, "If I remember correctly, your surname should be Yan, right? I just don't know if this surname 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. As you guessed, the story on the train was made up by me, but the surname is real."

Deng Shirong asked, "The couple you chatted with, is a man convicted of a child?"

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

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "I just saw it, although when At that time, both of you performed very successfully, but I have been in the underworld for many years, and I still have a good eye for people. If the identity you played is true, then they are really too enthusiastic about you.

The ancients have long said that if someone is too kind to others without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. I believe this sentence without a doubt. How can you rush to help others when you meet them by chance? "

"That makes sense!"

Yan Shuwen nodded when she heard it, and then asked in confusion: "Uncle Deng, how did you know that I was acting at that time? At what stage did I reveal my true colors?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "Compared with the acting skills of the criminal couple, your acting skills are indeed better. You played the identity you made up so well that most people can't see anything wrong. However, an old man like me naturally has a way of judging people. Your It is easy to hide your performance from others, but it is really difficult to hide it from me.

If you ask me to analyze it in detail, I can't analyze it, but I had a hunch at that time that you are not a simple girl, not the kind of silly girl who doesn't know that she was deceived and sold, so from beginning to end, I didn't think of reminding you.

If it were any other silly girl, I would definitely not watch you follow those two people to commit crimes.

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

Yan Shuwen was shocked: "Awesome, Uncle Deng, your observation is really terrible. Fortunately, the opponent I met at that time was not you, otherwise I really didn't know that I was sold. "

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

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

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

Yan Shuwen sighed and said: "I didn't want to resign, but my parents saw that I was dealing with those dangerous people all day long, and they were afraid that I would have an accident, so they kept persuading me to resign. I really couldn't get over it, so I had to resign."

Deng Shirong understood and sighed: "Poor parents in the world!"

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

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

Yan Shuwen said: "I am from Guilin."

Deng Shirong said: "Guilin is a good place, with the most beautiful mountains and rivers in the country. I have long wanted to see it, but it's a pity that I have passed by Guilin countless times and never stopped to play. I have to say that this 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 see other people’s places from places you are tired of. You grew up in Guilin, and you are tired of seeing beautiful scenery, but for those who have never seen it, it is still very attractive.”

Yan Shuwen’s eyes lit up when she heard it: “This is a good summary, and it is really like this.”

Deng Shirong said, “I will go to Guilin to play someday. I wonder what beautiful scenery Guilin has?”

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 beautiful, with mountains and rivers complementing each other. There are famous attractions such as Elephant Trunk Hill, Yellow Cloth Reflection, and Nine Horses Painting Mountain.

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

Deng Shirong said with a smile: "I haven't seen how beautiful this scenery is, but the names are more beautiful than each other."

Yan Shuwen couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and felt that this Uncle Deng was quite humorous.

It is five or six hundred kilometers from Guangzhou to Nanning. If it is a highway in the future, it only takes six or seven hours to get there, but on the highway of this era, it takes less than ten hours to get back to Nanning. This long journey is long, and the best way to kill time is to chat.

Therefore, Deng Shirong and Yan Shuwen, two people who are quite predestined, chatted all the way back from Guangzhou.

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

Because of the experience of the first meeting between the two, Deng Shirong always had a sense of vigilance towards this Miss Yan, fearing that he would be deceived by this little girl with a lot of thoughts and good acting skills, so he always used the system space perspective to observe her expression changes.

From beginning to end, he found that the other party spoke very sincerely, and Deng Shirong's vigilance was slowly let go.

Then he found that Miss Yan was quite good-looking. It happened that he had been looking for a partner for his nephew during this period, so he had the idea of ​​matchmaking for his nephew.

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

On the one hand, you have to find a way to investigate the other party's background.

On the other hand, you have to consider whether your nephew and Miss Yan are a good match. Once the two really get together, Deng Shirong is sure that the IQ of the nephew is probably not as good as Miss Yan who has been dealing with criminals for a long time.

After the two get married, the nephew is likely to become a wife-controlling (Yan) Yan.

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

In short, it is still the same sentence. Only the wearer knows whether the shoes fit.

However, since Deng Shirong was reborn, he has also done a lot of matchmaking, and he still has some say in marriage.

He believes that the most important thing in marriage is personality. Whether the personality of the couple is compatible is the key to happiness. If two people with incompatible personalities get married, they will definitely quarrel every three days and fight every five days. 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 a country, but it is difficult to change one's nature. This makes sense, but it is not entirely true.

For example, some women originally had a good temper, but if she married a man with ordinary conditions and no ambition, and lived a life where she had to think twice before drinking a cup of milk tea, her good temper would become worse and worse, and later she would quarrel with her husband at every turn, disturbing the whole family.

There are also some women who originally had a bad temper, but if she married a powerful man and lived a rich life of "clothes come to hand and food comes to mouth", then her bad temper is likely to become better and better, and 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 green tea in front of losers, and considerate good sisters in front of rich people.

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

The two chatted along the way, and they had quite a good time.

It was already midnight when they returned to Nanning.

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

Cousin Qin next to him said, "Uncle Deng, there are tricycles at the entrance of the station. We can just ask two tricycles to help pull them back."

Deng Shirong said, "There's no need to be so troublesome. 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 said directly to the driver: "Ahu, you drive these two relatives later."

Deng Sihu nodded and said: "Okay, Jiuzu."

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

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

After Deng Shirong walked away, Yan Shuwen asked curiously: "Driver brother, what do you mean by calling Uncle Deng Jiuzu just now?"

Deng Sihu smiled and said: "It means literally. He is my grandfather's cousin. Isn't it normal for me to call him Jiuzu?"

Cousin Qin and Yan Shuwen were shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect that Uncle Deng, who they met by chance, had a very high seniority in the clan. The driver in front of them looked about 30 years old, and he still called him Jiuzu, which was really incredible.

...

Lunar October.

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."

"Okay."

Jiang Chuanfu responded and went to get the goods for the regular customer. He found that there were not many Kangshifu instant noodles on the shelf. It was time to buy more.

After the regular customer 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 are not many Kangshifu instant noodles left. I will go directly to the manufacturer to buy more after I go back and eat."

The sales of Master Kong instant noodles are booming now. Not to mention Jiang Chuanfu's stores with small purchase volumes, even merchants with very large purchase volumes have to go to the factory in person to purchase the goods. It is impossible to ask the manufacturer to deliver the goods by just making a phone call.

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

The wife replied: "Go ahead, drive carefully."

"Got it!"

...

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

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

Here, there are merchants queuing up to pick up the goods 24 hours a day, and workers are moving goods in and out, a busy scene.

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

Finally, there were wholesale prices and retail guide prices, and it was also written that there were not many stocks, so hurry up if you want to buy.

After reading it, Jiang Chuanfu was a little moved. This eight-treasure porridge is also very suitable for selling in his store. He has to buy some goods to try.

There are many merchants who have the same idea as Jiang Chuanfu. As businessmen, they can naturally see that this eight-treasure porridge should be a very good product. Not to say that it sells better than instant noodles, but judging from their experience, it is definitely a very popular product.

So, when it was Jiang Chuanfu's turn to pay, in addition to the original instant noodles, he also ordered four boxes of Master Kong eight-treasure porridge, intending to take it back to the store to test the water and see if it sells well. If it sells well, he will come back to buy more next time.

After queuing up for an hour and a half to pick up the goods, when Jiang Chuanfu rode a motorcycle back to the store with a full truck of goods, it was already dark. His store was lit up, and the neighbors came 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 exposed.

The boss lady asked in surprise: "Honey, what's the matter 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 back."

"Eight-treasure porridge canned?"

"What does this eight-treasure porridge can look like?"

"It's really strange, eight-treasure porridge can be made into cans?"

Upon hearing this, all the neighbors gathered around curiously.

Jiang Chuanfu naturally would not miss the opportunity to promote it. He immediately opened a box of eight-treasure porridge, took out a can of eight-treasure porridge from it, handed it to the neighbors and said: "If you want to see it, take it and take a good look. I think this eight-treasure porridge is really good."

The neighbors reached out to take the eight-treasure porridge, and then 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 finished pattern 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."

"I didn't expect that eight-treasure porridge can be made into such a beautiful can. It's really an eye-opener."

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

"..."

Jiang Chuanfu smiled and said, "It's 1.8 yuan per can."

"This price is a bit expensive!"

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

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

"That's true..."

Now Master Kong instant noodles have also increased their prices. The retail price is 80 cents per pack, no longer 50 cents when they first came out.

Jiang Chuanfu heard the discussion of the neighbors. As a businessman, he would not miss the opportunity to promote. 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 boss's wife was also very curious about the eight-treasure porridge, so she nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll open a can and try it."

The neighbors stretched their necks to look at the boss's wife and watched her open the plastic cover on the can, revealing a foldable plastic spoon. This thing is easy to operate at a glance. The boss's wife took out the plastic spoon and straightened it.

Then, in everyone's expectant eyes, she buckled the pull ring and opened the eight-treasure porridge.

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

After eating several spoonfuls in a row, the boss's wife did not express any opinions.

Neighbors couldn't help but ask:

"Boss, how does it taste?"

"Boss, don't just eat it, give us some comments."

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

"..."

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

Then the lady boss took several more bites before handing the eight-treasure porridge to her husband and said, "Husband, you try it too."

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

The neighbors were a little greedy after hearing the couple's words.

So, the neighbors with decent family conditions immediately paid for the eight-treasure porridge in their hands, and then said while unpacking the eight-treasure porridge, "I want to see if it's really that delicious."

Soon, the neighbor tasted the longan and lotus seed eight-treasure porridge, and 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 it is, it is already the late 1980s and we are about to enter the 1990s. It is still okay to take out 1.8 yuan to buy a can of eight-treasure porridge. It depends on whether you are willing to spend money.

Now, other neighbors have bought it. If you don't buy it, it will seem that your family is too bad.

People want face. If they need to spend a lot of money to fight for this face, it is not necessary, but they are still willing to fight for this one or two yuan face.

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

Some people opened it on the spot to taste it, and some people kept it and planned to take it back for their children to taste.

Jiang Chuanfu bought a total of four boxes of eight-treasure porridge, and sold one box just after he got home, which can be regarded as a good start.

...

It must be said that the brand effect is really useful.

If the mooncake factory really named the eight-treasure porridge Yinlu, it would take some effort to open up the market, and it might even have to spend money on TV advertising like instant noodles.

But after using the brand label of Master Kong, with the help of the sales channels of Master Kong instant noodles, it was easy to sell all the eight-treasure porridge that had been stockpiled for a month.

Then after investigation, it was found that the market response was still very good, so it was a natural thing to expand production capacity.

For this, experienced food companies are naturally prepared.

This year, Master Kong instant noodles continued to sell well. Although the instant noodle factory did not continue to increase after the Tianjin branch was put 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 could go directly to the production line when needed.

Now that the eight-treasure porridge has officially opened up the market, it can choose one of these built factories to install the eight-treasure porridge production line, so that the production capacity of the eight-treasure porridge can be expanded as soon as possible, and the pace of development will not be dragged down by insufficient production capacity.

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

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

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

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

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

Beverages are a large category, and any subcategory can kill instant noodles in seconds.

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

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

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

Dairy beverages, such as milk, yogurt, etc.

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

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

Even various kinds of alcohol are also considered as drinks.

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