187 Chapter 26 Grandpa's Life Experience

"Where else can we go? We're going to the other side with Bald Jiang!"

"Is that so? Grandpa was only ten years old at the time, right? How did grandpa move here later?"

When grandma was asked this question, she sighed and said helplessly.

"At that time, your grandfather was boarding with a distant relative in the provincial capital, but soon that distant relative was overthrown. At that time, he was engaged in sports every day. He was a young landlord and was criticized every day. Later, my father saw him as pitiful, so he brought him back. !"

Qin He took a bite of food and asked curiously.

"Grandpa married grandma when he came back again?"

Grandma took a look at grandpa, said "hum", and said while feeding grandpa.

"Later, your grandfather wanted to marry me, but your great-grandfather didn't agree. Later, when I was pregnant with your uncle, he took me here and moved here. In the second month after moving here, your great-grandfather passed away. After that, I have been living here for 40 years!"

In grandma's words, there is obviously a grievance that cannot be concealed. The impulsiveness of the year caused her to break with her family. She has survived all the ups and downs for so many years. She has not enjoyed any blessings after following grandpa for so many years.

Grandpa blushed at this moment, took the meal from grandma, lowered his head and began to eat, obviously he had no face to say anything.

Seeing the grandfather who bowed his head to eat, Qin He didn't know what to say.

Grandpa obviously had a lot of experience in his life. When he was young, his family was well off and the family was prosperous. Suddenly one day, he found that he was abandoned by his family.

From that day on, for the next few years, I struggled with poverty and hardship. Finally, I finally married a wife who was the daughter of my savior, but I still couldn’t get the blessing of my savior. In the end, he became addicted to alcohol and escaped from reality!

In his last life, his grandfather finally died drunk on a small road in the field, and he left this world with regrets. In this life, Qin He thought about it, and since his grandfather is not yet seventy or eighty, he should have the opportunity to visit the opposite bay.

Knowing these past events, other people actually sighed for a while and didn't take it to heart. After all, it happened many years ago, and it has basically nothing to do with their lives now.

Qin He smiled and asked the grandfather.

"Grandpa, it's actually not difficult to go to Wanwan now! If there is a chance this year, I'll take you to Wanwan to have a look. You are only 62 this year, and you are still very young. Maybe your grandpa and grandma haven't died yet." Woolen cloth?"

As soon as Qin He said this, everyone at the dining table stopped their movements and looked up at him.

"Look at me? Seriously? Isn't it just going to Wanwan? What's the problem?"

Grandpa also raised his head and looked at Qin He. The corners of his mouth moved slightly, but in the end he did not say anything.

Grandma suddenly asked Qin He in a very serious tone.

"Xiaohe, can you really take your grandfather to the opposite Wanwan?"

"Ahem, grandma, why are you so serious? It's the 21st century now. If you have money, you can go to any country in the world. Not to mention Wanwan, let alone grandpa, I can take our whole family with me!"

Grandma still couldn't believe it. After all, this was Grandpa's lifelong regret. Suddenly hearing such a simple answer from her grandson, she asked hesitantly.

"How much will that cost?"

"It doesn't cost much, it's just for traveling, and it's not a place to settle down. Even if you settle down, it's not a problem. I'll take care of the money. Don't worry, I'll arrange it!)
Qin He felt that this matter should be done beautifully. Although he succeeded in giving up his grandfather's drinking, in his last life, his grandfather didn't live for two years, and Qin He was afraid of what might happen.

"Grandpa, please tell me some information about grandpa. I'll try to see if I can find the information over there. If there is any news, we will set off this year. Don't worry, I will take care of everything!"

Qin He remembers that since 2002, it seems that Wanwan has opened the mainland to travel visas, but if he really wants to go to Wanwan, Qin He thinks that this matter should be easy to handle, if it is not possible, go to other countries Just transfer to Wanwan by plane.

As long as you have money, these shouldn't be difficult. Now that I don't have much money, it's actually easy to make quick money, but Qin He doesn't think it's necessary.

Qin He felt that Grandpa's family was such a big place back then, with people from the military and political circles, and wealthy landowners, it was impossible for such a large family to go to the Wanwan side without a name or surname. As the saying goes, The emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, Qin He felt that it should not be difficult to find out the information of Grandpa and the others.

If that doesn't work, you can just pay someone over there in Wanwan to check it out.

After the meal, Qin He got a pen and paper to start recording. Grandpa sat in front of the stove and took several puffs of dry cigarettes before he opened his mind and began to tell the secrets that had been hidden in his heart for many years.

Obviously, if there is a chance, he really wants to see his parents who have been separated for half a century.

He began to talk about his parents' names, his great-grandfather was called Zhang Chengbo, and his great-grandmother was called Chen Xuemei.

In addition, those who went to Wanwan together at that time also had the uncle named Zhang Chengbang, the second uncle named Zhang Chengxing, and the third uncle named Zhang Chengguang.

Among them, the uncle was the county magistrate at that time, the second uncle Zhang Chengxing was in business, and the third uncle Zhang Chengguang was the head of a local regiment. Apart from these, the entire Zhang family of [-] people, including uncles and uncles at that time, was arrested overnight. Take it away, grandpa only heard about it from other people after the incident, which shows how sad grandpa was in his heart at that time.

At that time, my great-grandfather was the fourth eldest in the family, who had just turned 30 years old, and my great-grandmother was 28 years old. If they were both still alive, the two old people should have just been in their early 60s. At that time, he had a younger sister named Zhang Yun, whose nickname was Yun'er , six years younger than him, logically only [-] years old now, no accident, should still be alive.

Qin He recorded these records one by one. Such a big family was able to be taken away in [-]. Obviously there is a story in it, and there was a lot of energy behind the Zhang family at that time.

Since the other party has such a big family, it is impossible to live and wait for death when they reach the opposite side. They must continue to do business or engage in politics. When the time comes, they will find out from this aspect.

Qin He found it quite interesting. After his grandfather passed away in his previous life, his grandmother never mentioned the slightest bit of his grandfather's life experience, and even his grandfather never told his children about it. Obviously, this matter is his greatest regret and secret, and he would rather bring it into his heart. I don't want to go to the grave, and I don't want to end my wish.

Or maybe poverty limits his imagination!In his previous life, his family was quite poor, with a few children, and their family background was quite average. In addition, his grandfather lived in this small mountain village all his life, so he didn't know how to find his relatives.

After recording everything, Qin He smiled and reassured his grandfather that he would definitely fulfill his wish.

When Grandpa got this answer, his face showed a complex and expectant expression, and for the first time, his eyes shone brightly.

Maybe he didn't really want to find his parents, but wanted to find an answer. When he was ten years old, he was suddenly abandoned. From then on, he fell from a rich family to the mortal world. He experienced countless hardships in his life. Every night, he was awakened by nightmares countless times!

He just wanted to know why his parents left so suddenly that they didn't even have time to send someone to pick him up!
The Spring Festival in 2002 was very meaningful. At least Qin He knew the real reason why his grandfather was depressed for so many years. Qin He didn't want to talk about the things of the older generation. It would be interesting to have a look at it once you get a chance.

This year's Spring Festival is no different from previous Spring Festivals for Qin He's family. They are just visiting relatives. In fact, there are not many relatives. They are poor and no one cares about them in the busy city. This is probably how to describe Qin He's family!

Because of the early death of grandparents, the relatives on my father's side basically didn't move around much, even my father's uncle. Relatives, just stay with the two aunts for one day each, and it will be done in three days.

On the contrary, this year's cousin's relatives are full of guests and every seat is full, and there is a big table every day. Although Tang Shu used to have a simple personality, it is inevitable that he has a bit of money, so he will show off his stink.

Uncle Tang bought a 32-inch large color TV and a leather sofa this year, and plans to build a three-story house next year. This year, a three-story house will only cost tens of thousands of dollars. Uncle's monthly income is only!

Although Qin He has repeatedly told Tang Shu not to disclose his income, it is difficult for a poor man to become rich and learn to keep a low profile. Now Tang Shu has bought a mobile phone, and the gold necklace and gold ring on Tang Aunt’s neck are all from countless relatives. Eyes, it seems that only in this way can they show that their home is different.

Qin He is also quite helpless, so he can only let him go!In fact, pretending to be aggressive is also a kind of joy. Qin He only hopes that Tang Shu will not pretend too much.

Soon after the tenth day of the lunar month, Qin He took the opportunity to go to his uncle's house and discussed the next steps with him. He asked him to find the source of goods, while he asked his parents to go to the county to find a place to do a small processing job. workshop.

Tang Shu has a good personality, he is unambiguous when it is time to pretend, and when it is time to work, he does what he says, and he quickly starts to act, and now he is going to let Qin Dafei do it one after another. Just check it out!
In fact, after the Chinese New Year, there are seven or eight more people in Tangshu's skewer restaurant, all of whom are relatives of Tangshu and Aunt Tang. Yes, whatever he wants to do.

As for doing lo mei, Qin He was not worried at all. First of all, he knew it in his previous life, but in order to keep improving, Qin He finally used the synthesis technique.

According to the instructions of the synthesis technique, I searched for more than a dozen kinds of braised flavor ingredients. These ingredients actually do not use the synthesis technique, and the taste of the stewed ingredients is similar to the taste of a certain brand that I ate later.

Qin He did an experiment and bought a few kilograms of chicken feet and threw them in. When the results came out, the golden chicken feet were amazing in terms of color. .

As soon as he entered the mouth, Qin He felt his taste buds be released instantly, and his saliva was unstoppable. Qin He gnawed on the last few catties of chicken feet for more than an hour, and finally felt his mouth was sore, so Qin He gave up and continued. Eat it down.

This synthetic lo-mei ingredient must not be prepared according to the ratio of the system, at least it must be diluted ten times, at a ratio of ten to one, and then mixed with ordinary lo-mei ingredients, so that the stewed lo-mei has an indescribable taste , Let people mouth mouth fragrant, endless aftertaste.

Qin He felt that when he just started to open up the market, he still needed something that others didn't have. This thing was configured as an exclusive secret recipe, and Qin He didn't intend to tell his parents about this secret recipe.

After the "Qinwei Duck Neck" opens the market, even if this unique braised material is not used, it will still sell well, just like the old godmother. The more the godmother sells, the better it is, but the taste is that something is missing, but the brand name has already been established, and there is no fear that others will not buy it.

Uncle Tang searched for raw materials for ducks all over the world, while Qin He and his parents began to look for a suitable place in the county to set up a production workshop, and finally in the city, they selected a primary school teaching building that had been relocated.

This building is the property right of the street, because the elementary school has been relocated for several years, and it has been vacant now. Qin He remembers that this teaching building should have been expropriated after 08, and then demolished later.

There were still a few years left, Qin He felt that this place was very qualified, so he signed a five-year contract with the street office, and rented this teaching building for 5000 yuan per year!
The area is large enough and the location is good, and Qin He thinks that Tang Shu's barbecue headquarters can be moved here, so he might as well set up a "Qinwei Food Co., Ltd.", and its products include barbecue skewers and lo-mei!

Everything was ready, and after the house was settled, the uncle made a phone call to get the raw materials for the marinade. Because of the skewer seasoning, the marinade was ready quickly.

Qin He began to teach his parents how to prepare braised food ingredients, mainly according to the proportions. In fact, it is not difficult. It is mainly a matter of experience.

Just go to the market and buy dozens of kilograms of chicken feet for experiment!
Qin He doesn't have to worry about waste, he can still afford this waste, and he will start school soon, these things can only be explored by his parents slowly, if there is any problem, come to the school to find himself at that time!
After a few days of fast cooking and wasting almost [-] catties of chicken feet, his parents finally got a handle on the heat, and Qin He felt that the taste was about the same.

Qin He just took out dozens of catties of special marinated seasoning, packed them in small cloth bags, half a catty per bag, and told his father to put a small bag in a large pot of marinade every time he marinated. What, Qin He vaguely said that it is a special secret recipe, this thing can't be added!
Dad thought it was a contraband, and quickly tried to persuade Qin He not to touch it. Qin He couldn't laugh or cry, so he had no choice but to explain that he had found a professional master to prepare it, because it was very expensive and difficult to buy, so it was not a contraband. .

Dad was dubious, Qin He reluctantly opened a small bag, and the ingredients inside were indeed some common stewed ingredients, so Dad was relieved.

But he was a little strange again, why is the common marinade so mysterious?Could it be that the son was cheated?

Qin He had no choice but to put a small bag of special marinade into the brine, and then added two catties of chicken feet into it. Divide two plates and put them in front of Dad.

"Dad, you'll know after you taste it!"

Qin Jianjun dubiously picked up a chicken foot each, and looked at it carefully. From the color point of view, there was not much difference between the two chicken feet, but the chicken feet with the special marinade just now seemed to have a brighter color, which made people more attractive. Appetite is a little bit, or because of dilution, the color difference is not big.

Qin Jianjun first picked up the chicken feet without the special marinade, chewed it carefully a few times, and found that the taste was no different from the previous ones.

He picked up the other chicken feet with special marinade, looked up at his expectant son, Qin Jianjun stuffed it into his mouth helplessly, and just after he put it in his mouth, it seemed... there was no difference, he chewed it again, Suddenly, his face froze.

This smell?
Qin Jianjun chewed a few more times at a faster speed, and soon a chicken paw was left with only bones. He spit out the bones and said in an unbelievable tone.

"Xiaohe, this old master definitely has real skills. With the addition of this marinade, the taste seems to be enhanced at once. It seems that the fresh, spicy and spicy taste in the chicken feet has been extracted. The taste is really amazing. !"

Qin He smiled and said nothing. This is still a diluted taste. If you use all the special stewed ingredients synthesized by yourself, the taste will be amazing. It’s a pity that you don’t want to be too troublesome. These dozens of catties of special stewed ingredients are enough. Dad has used it for half a year.

Qin Jianjun was completely conquered by this taste. He didn't have much confidence at first, but after having this taste, he felt that this lo mei would definitely make money!

Just when Qin He was getting ready to go to school, his uncle was looking for sources of goods and got news. In the city next door, there was a production base specializing in salted duck. Originally, this kind of duck was worthless and had been taken away by some local braised meat shops. They are even half sold and half free. Before 2000, few people really ate duck heads and duck necks.

Although traditional Chinese people also like to eat all kinds of offal, the buttocks, neck and head are places that everyone subconsciously avoids, and lo mei perfectly solves this problem, and it is even marketed by Zhou Hei Ya in later generations.

Uncle Tang directly approached us for cooperation, and wanted to establish a long-term cooperation and sign a formal contract. Uncle Tang was so sincere, and this was a mutual benefit for the company that made the salted salted duck, and the two parties soon reached a consensus!
We have just started to do it now. With this supply, we can completely meet the demand for the time being. Once the supply problem is solved, other things will be simple.

Qin He asked his parents to manage the production of marinade, and his uncle was in charge of finding a salesperson and sales.

Labor is also cheap in this era, not to mention that Tang Shu has recruited so many relatives, this lo mei processing workshop will soon start trial production!

Qin He also officially started school, continue to be his obedient student!
Qin He also occasionally went to Internet cafes to surf the Internet, and began to search for information about his grandfather's family. Finally, he posted some information about missing people in Wanwan on several well-known forums. Netizens in this era are still very enthusiastic, and Qin He also Expect a miracle to happen.

If that doesn't work, then you can find a way to hire a TV station over there in the Bay Area or a private detective to search for you. It's impossible for such a big family to move there without leaving any traces. With such a big family, future generations will be famous. There should be a chance, right?
It all depends on fate!
