Siheyuan: Cooking journey

Before he could finish speaking,

He Yuzhu interrupted, "Have you been to Xiangdao?"

"Yes, I have had the opportunity to visit and learn about the local prosperity on several business trips. It is indeed refreshing."

Ouyang Yuan's voice became much duller: "Every time I see other places developing so well, I can't help but feel a sense of disparity when comparing ourselves to them... There are ready-made development templates there, but we want to follow suit and build industrial parks to attract companies to move in, but we always encounter many difficulties..."

"So how do you plan to implement it? What kind of industrial park do you want to build?"

Director Yang still had no idea about the other party's true intention of coming this time, and he listened with curiosity as if he was listening to a riddle.

"Oh, this is actually very simple to explain."

The solemn expression on Ouyang Yuan's face eased a little.

“You have to know that Hong Kong has limited space and limited development space;

"Through research, we learned that Hong Kong's rent is high, wages are also rising, not to mention food prices. The overall high cost of living has led to high added value of various industrial products. Therefore, the operating costs are relatively expensive."

"But it's different here! The vast area has an abundant labor force and the land is affordable;

"It is only a stone's throw away from Hong Kong Island. We only need to open up a good port and then build a high-standard modern industrial zone to attract many Hong Kong companies to move here to invest and set up factories. The original cost structure may be 10 units, but in Longkou it may be less than one unit."

"Smart entrepreneurs naturally don't want to miss such a golden opportunity. If one company decides to relocate, it will be enough to drive a series of related companies to follow suit, and even completely remove its original foundation and relocate it to the new site. This will not only attract huge amounts of foreign investment and advanced production technology for us, but also create a large number of jobs and benefit the long-term development plan of the entire region."

"In addition, it will be easier for us to learn from and absorb the most advanced processing and manufacturing processes in the world, and accelerate the industrialization process in the new era. I believe that one day we will be able to present a thriving scene similar to Hong Kong..."

Director Yang was extremely shocked, his mouth opened wide, completely unable to hide his inner shock.

He Yuzhu seemed calm on the surface, but he was secretly worried:

This senior's idea is too bold. It is almost like cutting off the source of the firewood, and the entire industrial chain of Hong Kong will be eradicated together.

It's simply like "borrowing a chicken to lay eggs". To put it even more cruelly, they don't even plan to return the eggs!

After a brief consideration,

He decided to speak frankly: "Although our living environment is still in its infancy, it still maintains the beauty of purity, tranquility and harmony in some aspects. If such radical measures are taken rashly, it will inevitably open a door invisibly, which will lead to various negative factors from the outside world taking the opportunity to infiltrate. Although it will be beneficial to the rapid improvement of economic growth, technological progress and employment in the short term, the potential crisis should not be ignored!"

"Especially when a large amount of foreign capital pours in, the local economic system will inevitably bear an unprecedented impact, and may even directly shake the fundamental structure. For example, once the daily necessities, such as soap and toothpaste industries, are controlled by foreign capital, consumers will not hesitate to choose the latter and abandon local enterprises with their leading technology and high-quality products, causing irreparable damage. In addition, this kind of predatory behavior itself is no different from robbery."

"It is not out of fear that we are unwilling to confront head-on. It is because the gap is too big at this stage. Blind confrontation is unwise. Instead of seeking a quick breakthrough, we should pay more attention to improving our internal quality and gradually catch up. Otherwise, even if we barely achieve a superficial leap, it will only be a bubble that will collapse at any time..."

After saying this, Ouyang Yuan picked up the wine glass in his hand, fell into a long period of silence, and then he sighed and slowly said: "What you said makes sense. Strengthening one's own strength is undoubtedly the right way, but without sufficient money and technology to support it, how easy is it..."

"I still think that establishing an industrial park and introducing foreign capital are the keys to solving the problem. Although there are hidden dangers, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. After all, many collective enterprises have become a burden, and only by eliminating them can we truly adapt to the trend of the new era. The principle of survival of the fittest will never change. Moreover, the negative impact of only setting up a small-scale experimental zone in Longkou is relatively controllable. Appropriate market competition may be the best time for the incentive mechanism to play a role..."

"In short, we must remember the law of survival. Only the strong can survive. Only by facing challenges can we inspire the determination to change..."

Just as the two were at a stalemate in their discussion, there was a creaking sound of the door opening outside the box, and Zhou Zhennan appeared in front of everyone in a neat military uniform, looking around the room with a bright smile...

"That's amazing! You've already started drinking without even waiting for me."

"Old Zhou, why are you here just now?"

Ouyang Yuan went up to him enthusiastically and patted him on the back.

"It's been several years since we last met."

"If you calculate it this way, it's really not a short time..."

Zhou Zhennan patted him back with emotion.

The two exchanged greetings and then sat down.

Zhou Zhennan unhooked his service pistol and put it aside.

He Yuzhu's eyes were evasive, and he felt guilty. He stood up and said seriously:

"We're almost done eating. I'll go get some more dishes and be back in a bit."

He's coming back, obviously trying to take the opportunity to slip away.

The announcement for the end of get off work rang.

He Yuzhu immediately took the opportunity to slip away.

back home.

He Yushui was holding Nianqiu and playing with her.

He Yuzhu then remembered that today was the weekend.

"Brother, what about the instant noodle factory you mentioned? When will it start construction?" He Yushui asked with concern.

She was very curious about the instant noodles her brother mentioned and wanted to know whether it tasted good.

“I haven’t decided yet.”

He Yuzhu took Nian Qiu and kissed her cheek.

"Do you miss daddy?

“I thought about it…”

He Nianqiu smiled happily but was very surprised in his heart.

It turns out that the instant noodles that became popular all over the world will open a factory this year.

The information also says that it was Aunt He Yushui who overcame all difficulties and founded the first instant noodle brand in the mainland.

It seems that this is all thanks to my father.

If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. When my father went to Japan for inspection, he must have seen the instant noodles there and introduced a production line.

Think of this instant noodles.

He Nianqiu felt very strange and wanted to complain about the name "Kang Shuaifu".

This name is not only difficult to pronounce, but also not pleasant to the ear.

It would be better to just call it "Master Kang", which sounds better and easier to pronounce.

I really don't understand why they chose this name. It would be better to call him "Master He", which is a hundred times better than "Master Kang".

Aside from the complaining name, the instant noodles themselves aren’t that great either.

The main dishes are braised beef noodles and three fresh noodles.

The three fresh noodles were okay, at least there were some dried shrimps in the seasoning packet.

And the braised beef noodles don’t have any beef at all.

When supplies are scarce, soy products can be used as a substitute.

But decades have passed, and supplies are sufficient, but there is still no beef at all. It is really frustrating.

It became a widely circulated joke that there was no beef in the braised beef noodles.

What’s even more ridiculous is that many people have always thought that the piece of dried tofu is beef since they were young.

However, this does not hinder the good taste of instant noodles.

Even in the era when takeout has become very convenient, people still choose instant noodles when they are working overtime or in a hurry.

Especially those seasoning packets and sauce packets, you can make a delicious dish by just stir-frying some vegetables and putting them in.

Many people online even look forward to the day when they can buy seasoning packets sold individually.

"Brother, instant noodles must have a name, right? Do you have any good ideas?" He Yushui asked curiously.

"name?"

After being reminded, He Yuzhu remembered that he had not yet decided on a brand name.

"Now that you mentioned it, do you have any good suggestions?"

He Yuzhu thinks the name is not important and just pick one at random.

"No, I'm just curious."

He Yushui shook his head and smiled, "How about this, I'll ask my classmates at school if they can help me come up with a nice and grand name."

"Okay, you decide what to do."

He Yuzhu didn't care much.

But He Nianqiu couldn't help but blink.

It turns out that this is how the tongue-twisting name "Kang Shuai Fu" came about.

All of a sudden.

He Nianqiu found it both funny and exciting to witness history.

In this era, we don’t have to get involved in many things, but I still hope that the name of this instant noodles can be changed.

After all, "Kang Shuai Fu" is really hard to pronounce, and I want to complain when I see it.

These three words together make absolutely no sense, as if they were picked randomly from a dictionary.

"dad..."

He Nianqiu tilted his head and said in a baby voice:

"Our last name is He, so why not just call us 'Master He'? 'Master He' instant noodles, it sounds so nice."

"Nian Qiu is really smart. 'Master He' is indeed good."

He Yushui smiled and hugged her, kissing her on the face.

"Our Nianqiu has been smart since he was young, and he will definitely be a college student when he grows up."

"Master He?"

He Yuzhu thought about it for a while and thought of the well-known "Master Kong".

Then I remembered that interesting copycat name - "Kangshoufu".

He Yuzhu laughed secretly in his heart:

"'Master He' doesn't sound nice, let's call him 'Master Kang', it sounds more impressive."

"What' Kang Shuaifu', that's so ugly!"

He Yushui rolled his eyes and snorted, "Obviously 'Master He' is better. I strongly oppose 'Master Kang'."

"invalid objection!"

He Yuzhu said firmly:

"'Kangshoufu' is a high-end name, so we decided to call the instant noodles this name."

He Nianqiu looked confused.

She didn't expect that this terrible name was given by her father.

I have no idea what's so high-end about this name.

"Humph, 'Kang Shuaifu' is not generous at all, it's too ugly..."

He Yushui rolled his eyes again, very dissatisfied:

"You should still call him 'Master He'. You are a chef, and everyone calls you Master. This makes sense. What does 'Master Kang' mean? It is meaningless and difficult to pronounce."

He Yuzhu pretended not to hear, took Nianqiu and kissed her cheek:

"Nianqiu, do you think 'Kang Shuai Fu' sounds good? If you say it sounds good, I'll give you a piece of chocolate."

"Humph..."

He Nianqiu was a little self-righteous and thought he was a child who could be persuaded by a piece of chocolate.

"Kang Shuaifu sounds good. I want five bucks."

He Nianqiu blinked his eyes, raised his white and tender little hand seriously, and made a five.

It's just the name of an instant noodle, how can it compare to the chocolate in your hand.

Besides, after so many years, I've gotten used to hearing the name "Kang Shuai Fu".

"Nian Qiu, how come you don't have any principles at all..."

He Yushui frowned and walked forward angrily.

"Give your aunt one piece quickly, or I will tell your mother and report you..."

He Nianqiu couldn't help but blink again.

Who could have imagined that the aunt who would become so powerful in the future would snatch candies from children when she was young.

It would be so interesting if such embarrassing things were filmed.

The night is quiet.

He Yuzhu couldn't sleep.

Ran Qiuye's warm face was pressed against his chest. She not only exuded a fresh and pleasant fragrance, but also a hint of alcohol.

He knew that his man never drank, even when Lou Xiao'e left, he had not drunk a drop of alcohol.

This made Ran Qiuye a little worried.

"Are you having any troubles?"

"It's nothing serious. We just encountered some difficulties in building the factory."

He Yuzhu patted her back gently and spoke in a calm tone.

Ran Qiuye didn't ask any more questions, but just hugged him tightly, but a trace of bitterness arose in her heart.

Although she gets along well with Lou Xiao'e, she only has one daughter, so how could she not have a competitive spirit?

She knew that her man did not care about the gender of his children, but he still hoped to have another child, a son.

"You, you have to work harder, I want to have another baby!"

Her voice was low and trembling.

He Yuzhu suddenly felt the air became particularly stuffy.

"Autumn leaves..."

There was a soft voice beside my ears and a fresh breath spread over me, it was very comfortable.

His embrace is so warm and safe that one doesn't want to leave.

Although she knew she was pretending to be Qiu Ye, she just wanted to enjoy it for a while before being discovered.

His hands are very warm.

It's like a spring breeze blowing gently, bringing a warmth.

I felt nervous and hesitant, yet I also longed for this wonderful feeling and wasn't sure whether I should stop it.

Slowly, wonderful feelings gradually filled my heart, and the emotions that had been pent up for many years seemed to erupt like a volcano and could not be controlled.

A faint fragrance spreads, and a peaceful atmosphere permeates the air.

At that moment, time and space seemed to be frozen.

She couldn't help but hug his arms tightly, but still couldn't resist the fate of disappearing.

"I like you. I have liked you for a long, long time..."

Time and space stopped again.

"I don't know what to do, I just can't help thinking about you, missing you every second..."

Everything fell silent.

The fresh air faded, and the surrounding scenery began to collapse.

Tears flowed silently and everything in front of my eyes became blurry.

That cold figure was deeply engraved in my heart.

At a loss.

The mood of despair and sadness was like a dark cloud, and the whole world lost its color.

It was as if I had fallen into endless darkness, and no matter how hard I ran, I could not see a ray of light.

"what--"

Zhou Xiaobai suddenly woke up, and everything around him was pitch black.

The sad feeling took a long time to dissipate, and tears quietly slid down my cheeks.

The night sky is still calm.

He Yuzhu looked quietly at the darkness before him.

I sighed inwardly, it was another sleepless night.

He gently hugged the warmth around him, wanting to do something to make himself tired.

But in the end, nothing was done.
