royal family

Li Yuke really looked more and more wrong.

Shao's mother lazily leaned on the sofa to watch TV after eating. Next to the sofa was a small tea table specially prepared for her that could be moved. The pickled ones have no sauce and are easy to use without getting your hands dirty, which is her favorite.

The small round plate is filled with pickled cherries, pickled plums, pickled strawberries and other preserved fruits. They are all sweet and sour, and they don’t take up your stomach.Shao's mother has been particularly interested in these small snacks in recent days. She eats a few more mouthfuls, and two-thirds of the freshly marinated fresh fruits and preserves have entered her mouth.

The pickled strawberry is soft and elastic, and the taste in the mouth is quite solid, sour and sweet, not at all inferior to the refreshing taste when it is still fresh and full of water.

The TV was put on the local station. In the soap opera, the male protagonist who came from a wealthy family resolutely rebelled against the majestic mother and vicious father in order to be with the female protagonist, and resolutely gave up his wealthy life.I don't know why Shao's mother has become more and more sentimental lately. Tears came out when she saw it. She wiped her eyes and raised her hand to pick up pickled strawberries. When she looked around, she found that the plate had been emptied at some point.

Li Yuke stared at the two children talking together at the door of the main room, Shao Yan pressed against the wall, and Yan Daichuan stood in front of him, almost covering his whole body in the shadow of his own body.The two of them didn't know what they were talking about, they both had smiles on their faces, Shao Yan was more arrogant, and Yan Daichuan had fawning eyes.The two got closer and closer, and when they were happy talking, Yan Daichuan reached out and touched Shao Yan's face.

Although the touch quickly ended with the back of his hand being slapped away by Shao Yan, Li Yuke jumped when she saw it, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Shao's mother, who was holding an enamel cup that had been stored for many years and ate it. Boiled dried bayberry.

Shao's mother was so happy that her eyes narrowed. Shao Yan specially made dried bayberries for him. The big plump bayberries were dried and curled up into a ball. They were first pickled with a small amount of salt and spices, and then poured into a pot with brown sugar. boiled.Brown sugar is a specialty of the place where sugar cane is supplied to the winery, and it is squeezed out of 100% pure sugar cane.At first, it was just a souvenir sent to the factory by the village leaders for friendship. Later, Shao Yan tasted it by chance, and was immediately shocked. Since then, he has been buying high-quality brown sugar from the village at the price of high-quality brown sugar on the market.

The price given by Yumenxi is not low. On average, they earn a lot more than they used to transport brown sugar outside the villages and towns for sale, and they don't have to suffer the crime of traveling long distances.It is rare to have such a good income-generating channel, and the sugar refining village naturally dare not ignore it, and the raw materials used are all first-class and good.This kind of pure brown sugar tastes not greasy at all, chewing a piece of it empty mouth, the mouth is full of the aftertaste left by the sugar cane.The sweetness of brown sugar carries the freshness of nature. After being boiled into thick sugar water, it is boiled together with dried bayberries that have become extremely sour after being dried. After a short stew, the shriveled dried bayberries will be full of sugar water. When it becomes plump, the sugar water will also turn into a red and black gelatinous texture.

You can't eat too much of this thing, and if you eat too much, you will lose your teeth. Recently, Shao's mother has a big drink a day, but she hasn't seen any discomfort.Yan Daichuan's house is too big, and Shao's mother, who is recuperating at home these days, often walks around the yard and eats with snacks, which is not so easy to hold in her hands with ordinary bowls.I don't know where she found a large enamel cup with human heads and slogans printed on it in the 90s. three out of three.

Dried bayberry should be brought into the mouth with rich juice, and the sweet and sour taste immediately permeates the whole mouth.The dried bayberry pulp has a richer taste after being dried in the sun. When you bite down, the sour juice is squeezed out of the pulp unexpectedly.

Shao's mother couldn't eat enough, and immediately stuffed the second and third into her mouth before she spit out the first core.His mouth was full of sour taste, and even his weak body felt much back to normal.

Li Yuke tugged at her sleeves, staring at the direction of Shao Yan and Yan Daichuan, anxious, and didn't know where to start, so she could only beat the side drums for vaccinations: "Look, what are these two doing? How can we make it together?" so close?"

Shao's mother turned her gaze from the mouth of the enamel cup to him reluctantly, sipping on the taste of dried red bayberry, and casually glanced at the direction Li Yuke was pointing at: "Young people, do they have their own topics? You should know What are you watching so much, this male lead is really too..."

When Li Yuke heard her rambling and changed the focus of the topic to the TV drama plot, she couldn't help feeling annoyed.But she couldn't get angry with her naturally dull sister with unreasonable guesses, so she could only stare anxiously at the two young people who were about to stick together. After holding back for a long time, she couldn't help but want to draw one of her own ally.

"Xiao Chuan's personality has been very cold since he was a child. I, as a mother, have never seen him get along so well with anyone except Yan Yan." Li Yuke deliberately suppressed her articulation of special words, prolonging her voice. In order for Shao's mother to pay attention to the content of her words, "Look at the way the two of them stick together. Those who don't know think they are a young couple. Yesterday I heard from Sister Tao that I bumped into Xiao Chuan and came out of Yanyan's room in the morning. You No matter how old they are, they still live together.”

How can Mother Shao have as many hearts as hers? Hearing this, she glanced outside and saw that Yan Daichuan was raising her hand to run along Shao Yan's hair.It happened that ghosts were crying and wolves were howling in the TV series, and the atmosphere had reached a certain level. Mother Shao got up and plunged into Li Yuke's arms, her voice trembling with emotion: "Sister! I really don't know what to say, You have helped us a lot, and Xiaochuan still takes care of Yanyan like this, without you, I really don’t know what my family would be like now!”

Li Yuke: "..."

Shao Yan went to the sister Qiong Yao drama in the living room from the corner of his eye, raised his eyebrows slightly, and raised his chin to Yan Daichuan: "What's going on inside?"

Yan Daichuan turned his head and met his mother who cast a desperate look at him.

"It's okay." He patted Shao Yan's head, and the head under his palm felt very round. Because of the previous fall, there was a scar on the top of his head, but fortunately, it didn't affect the growth of hair.Shao Yan's hair is fluffy when it's long, and it won't be as thick and hard as his own hair roots after shaving it short, just like touching a soft and lazy Scottish shorthair cat taking a nap.Yan Daichuan forgot his shape for a while, and slid down towards his neck as he touched his hand, and was slapped passionately by Shao Yan.

-

The success of the Yumen Zun can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone. The preferential policies promised to Shao's father had just been implemented, and countless factions have already focused their attention on the Shao family, a new-born brand. .

Those who want to get a share of the pie are focusing on Shao's father, especially the experts in the professional wine business and catering business. They know better than anyone that they can get a piece of the big cake that Yumenzun will have in the future How exciting it will be.But knowing that the current output of his own factory is not enough to supply even a few more directly-operated stores, Shao's father has no plans to promote Yumenzun's wine products to various sales counters and enter thousands of households. He can deal with a group of old foxes who are not inferior to him in all kinds of wine games every day. After such training, his IQ has been improved by leaps and bounds.

Correspondingly, Yumenxi's business has naturally undergone some changes due to the emergence of subsidiaries.There is no limit to the purchase of alcoholic beverages in Yumenzun, so the customer base has suddenly increased a lot. The expensive price and excellent packaging also make the wine in the store a very suitable choice for gift giving. Although the people of country C, especially the men of country C, are not as prone to alcoholism as Westerners, they are free and willing to have a drink or two at a table with relatives and friends.Shao Yan's wine-making skills are definitely not fake. People who have drunk his wine, unless it is really not to the taste or knows nothing about wine culture, otherwise the evaluation is absolutely very unanimous.Many people who drink well don’t care much about their appetites except for appetizers. After drinking such an astonishing wine, I heard that there are two kinds of limited-purchase drinks that need to be reserved at Yumen Seat, and the taste is even more delicious. Excellent, there are quite a few people who come to visit at once just to satisfy their curiosity and expectations.

In country C, when the new year is approaching, there will be a lot of exchanges between people.

When Gao Yuan returned home, the cold air from his body was dispelled by the heating system, he shivered comfortably, and handed several long wooden boxes in his hands to the old nanny who came forward to take off his coat.

The specifications of the long boxes are similar, and the wood is darker in color. It is obvious that they have been meticulously cared for, and the four corners are engraved with exquisite flower carvings.The flower carvings have dragon patterns, bats, and monkeys holding peaches. They are polished until they are oily and smooth, and they are not thorny at all.

The nanny is very knowledgeable, she smiled when she saw the box, took it and turned it over, and she saw the three big characters of "Yumen Zun" on the lid, smiling so much that her eyes narrowed: "Is it popular to give this this year? You also brought back several bottles yesterday, and this is what your father and uncle brought back recently, and this kind of wine is the most in the storage room."

Gao Yuan smiled and shook his head: "It's really popular. I asked Wang Xiaoshu, and her parents have seen a lot of Yumen bottles recently. I guess they think it's a face to give it away? Anyway, if you can't drink it all, you can save it. , This wine suits my grandfather's taste quite well. The passion fruit and flower wine that I brought back for him before, his blood pressure dropped after drinking. If drinking this wine affects the body, then limit it more. If not Influence, let him drink as he pleases."

"You son of a bitch, forget about your grandpa and me!" Mr. Gao walked out of the living room with a stern face, pointed at him and cursed, "You little white-eyed wolves have only been better for three days. In the past few months, each of you was a fart. Pi Dian went to get pastries from Shao Yan, and said to be filial to me... You see, it's only been a while, and the original shape is revealed."

Gao Yuan sighed: "Why do you blame me? Wasn't the Shao family busy opening the Yumen bottle before? Shao Yan followed his father and ran around. He was not in City B for seven or eight days out of ten. Where would I go to give him a gift?" Do you make pastries?"

"That, that, then why did Wang Xiaoshu bring back a jar of soy sauce?" Mr. Gao was very worried about this, last time he went to Wang's house to play chess with Mr. Wang, and by the way, he ate the sauce and rice that Mr. Wang ate.He still remembers the indescribable saltiness of the sauce, and after careful questioning, he found out that it was Wang Xiaoshu who personally went to the door to discuss it with Shao Yan.How else can I say that a girl is careful, what's the use of having a grandson?Every one of them is big and thick, and they can't even get their ass in the right place!

The old man becomes an old child when he gets old, and his anger is always in waves. Not long after scolding someone, he feels better again.

He dragged his grandson to watch TV again, asking about the Shao family while watching.These old men are still quite concerned about the development of the Shao family. It is probably because of their feelings for the big birthday meal. A group of old friends, especially Wang Lao, now see the wine manager of the Yumenzun sent home. I want to sigh and praise.

Yumenxi has developed very well in the first place, and now that it has preferential policies, it should be like a fish in water.

The old men really want to see the day when the Shao family's industry, which is rich in elements of country C, goes abroad. The flower wine sent to various countries has gained a lot of reputation, which proves that country C should also meet the tastes of most foreigners. right.Counting carefully, country C was originally one of the birthplaces of the earliest wine culture, but now even the country is flooded with various foreign drinks.Foreign wines and wines are gradually overshadowing the limelight of domestic drinks. Too many people regard foreign fashion as their beauty, so they, a group of old people who only like alcoholic drinks in country C, can't help sighing every time they see them.

Gao Yuan actually met Shao's father on various occasions, and the two had a few conversations. He also had some understanding of the current plight of the Shao family.

There is no problem with the channel, the main reason is the improvement of hard power, both the scale of the winery and the quantity of raw materials for wine making need to be improved, these problems will not be easily solved in a short time.

After listening to the old man in silence, his eyes gradually moved away from the back of the nanny who was going to serve the wine, and when he turned a corner, he took it back all of a sudden. He didn't say much to his grandson's questioning eyes, and got up to tidy up his clothes. Take it, turn around and leave.

After taking two steps, he turned around again with a very serious expression: "By the way, let me tell you something. The doctor came to the house in the morning and measured it for me. The blood sugar, blood fat and blood pressure are all normal, even slightly worse than before. It's a little lower, I'm fine with Shao's wine. Tell your parents, don't take your grandma's words as arrows!"

-

So not long after, Shao's father participated in an officially organized entrepreneur meeting on behalf of your Yumenxi and Yumenzun under his own name.

Most of the participants in the symposium are young and cutting-edge brands with a large scale. Although the business scope of Yumenxi is very unique, the scale should not be underestimated.In addition, he is also relatively smooth at an older age, and it is easier to get along with others than many sharp-edged young people. The image of a calm and capable middle-aged elite is also very deceptive. It is logical that he has met many people in ordinary social circles through meetings. Friends not covered.

But the most important achievement is that he contacted some organizations related to his own industry that he could not find a way out of.I don't know if it's an illusion, but Father Shao has the illusion that his superiors are treating his business particularly favorably. He is used to the fact that someone will hand him a pillow when he falls asleep. The local authorities sent the support plan directly to his desk.

It is undoubtedly quite advantageous for the production enterprise to be taken care of locally in the factory. What does this represent?It means that everything can be implemented neatly and quickly.Starting a business in country C, the most difficult thing is often not the market and customers. From corporate loans to product promotion, if the government wants to embarrass the private sector, it is as easy as trampling an ant to death.

It is not easy to be a businessman, and the power of interests is far less than that of power and fame. Therefore, the collusion between government and businessmen has been so respected by businessmen since ancient times.

How wide is the shortcut obtained by the Shao family?Eight fine horses marching side by side can pull the cart smoothly and quickly, taking advantage of the right time and place, and now there is one more person, if Yumenzun can't succeed again, Father Shao will feel sorry for himself.

Shao's father has vaguely touched a little bit of signs. Domestically, it seems that he is expecting him to develop the brand of Yumenzun overseas.In various private conversations, this issue is always mentioned meaningfully. Once or twice can be said to be a coincidence, but too many times, it is inevitable that there is some suspicion of leaking words.

Overseas...overseas...overseas...

Overseas is too big, and the domestic market has not yet been established. How can it be so easy to rashly turn your attention to a broader world?

Father Shao felt touched by the reliance and care he received, but at the same time felt that he was carrying a heavy burden on his shoulders.As a businessman, he somewhat understands that although the governments of overseas countries are not suppressing country C in various decisions, they are not so friendly after all.Racial discrimination exists everywhere. Although this kind of difference is usually difficult to see, once conflicts arise, it will be manifested vividly.

Shao's father, who has gradually become accustomed to living in a safe and stable country in China, has little confidence in himself, and is also afraid of the difficult road he imagined.

But he is a very good person, because he is too responsible, and if he is praised a few times, he will be restless if he is not so good.This kind of personality has obviously been figured out by others. If you want to drive him to do something, you don't need to exert pressure at all, as long as you continue to encourage and honor him.

Shao's father won a very important award, and City A also sent someone to say that he wanted to elect him as a representative of the citizens of Province A to participate in the next national conference.Father Shao was almost terrified when he heard the cold and warm greetings from those leaders who used to be very talkative. He felt that he deserved it!Nothing to repay!

Shao's father forced himself into a "dead end" that the onlookers loved, and he couldn't get out!

He worked desperately, not willing to delay for a second, and immediately implemented the expansion of the factory area through the preferential policy. He even had to personally see the new supply sites for raw materials such as sugar cane.There is a son in the family who spends all day in the kitchen and doesn't care about property management, and a wife who has been suffering from backaches and leg pains recently.

It's not a sin for a man to cry!

-

Shao's mother had calf cramps for several days after she lost her appetite, which was terribly uncomfortable.Li Yuke said that she stayed at home too much, and took her out for shopping when she found time.

Although Li Yuke always disliked her sister for being stupid, in fact she was the one who loved Shao's mother the most. She always wondered in her heart why her sister was so dull, but she was reluctant to even reprimand her.No matter how busy Shao's father comes home from work, he will take good care of his wife's body. Shao Yan even treats his mother as his daughter's pet, eating soup, water and snacks three times a day.Shao's mother is nearly fifty years old, and she has never suffered any grievances except for the twists and turns during the separation of the Shao family. She is an old lady, but she is as charming as a young man.

You don't even need to walk a few steps to go out.When getting on and off the car, Mother Shao and Li Yuke, who were wearing long leather coats and small hats, held hands, their eyebrows were soft and soft, and their demeanor was calm and gentle, so that men and women passing by couldn't help but look back at her a few more times.

Because she didn't have much strength in the past few days, she walked slowly, but Li Yuke didn't dislike her, and held her arm to help her walk. There is a big gap between the rich and the poor in City B, and the economically ordinary areas look no different from City A, but the truly high-end commercial streets are absolutely extravagant at first glance.

The driver and the bodyguard followed to carry the luggage bag all the way, but Shao's mother still couldn't lift it up, with a sad face on her face: "People age so fast, it seems like it was only yesterday that they were young, and now they can't even walk."

Li Yuke yelled at her: "You are so embarrassed to say this in front of me! I don't care how much older I am than you!"

"Can I compare with you? You look exactly the same as when you were 30 years old. I still have my sister's newspaper from your time, and I don't even see a few more wrinkles." Mother Shao also has envy in her eyes, "I Well... Lao Shao seldom goes home recently."

Li Yuke slapped her sister hard on the forehead: "What are you thinking! She is busy with work!"

Shao's mother smiled. She has a delicate mind recently and always thinks wildly. She also feels that this is not good, but she can't restrain it at all.

She glanced at the light gray cashmere scarf on the model in the spotless window next to her. She paused and her gaze brightened: "Hey, this color looks good. How do you think it matches Xiao Chuan's usual dressing style?"

She dragged Li Yuke into the store, felt the texture of the scarf was very good, and simply picked one of each color.When holding the gray scarf to compare the navy blue suit fabric under the light, he glanced outside the window and suddenly paused.

A dark commercial vehicle stopped on the side of the road outside the window, with red lights flashing at the rear, and a group of men and women in formal attire got out of the vehicle. Father Shao standing in the crowd was particularly eye-catching to her.

Shao's father was wearing a black suit with a good size, his back was straight, and he was talking to his friends while buttoning up the buttons.Shao's mother's heart was beating for a little joy, and she couldn't help but stop what she was doing and take a second look. Although he had already passed the fiftieth mark, the man's handsomeness had been worn down by time, and his demeanor was as mellow and intoxicating as old wine .

She couldn't help showing a smile on her face, put the scarf on the shelf beside her, closed her skirt, and planned to go out and call him.

The car came to a stop, and a red dress rolled out of the door near the sidewalk.

High heels, slender and exquisite ankles, stepping on the ground frivolously and gracefully.The last woman who got out of the car was delicate and slim, she reservedly brushed her long black hair that fell to her chest, raised her head, her brows were affectionate, slim, her eyes rolled around, she opened her mouth and said to the men on the other side with a smile What?

When Mother Shao saw her, her chest tightened for some reason, and she stopped subconsciously.

The woman looked no more than 30 years old at the most, with tight skin and a tall figure, which was more beautiful than ordinary stars. Standing there, she was extremely dazzling.

She ran towards the crowd with small steps, and took a few more steps in the direction of Shao's father. While talking, she put her hand on Shao's father's shoulder.

Shao's father didn't see anything wrong with his expression, and Shao's mother frowned.

The girl in the red dress trembled as she laughed, as if she was stuck to Shao's father. Shao's mother, who was also a woman, knew exactly what that posture and expression represented.

Her eyes turned pale, and her breathing became difficult. She supported the wall to take a few breaths, and even her hands and feet were gradually losing strength.

"What's the matter? Does gray match?" Li Yuke's voice came from not far away, and the shop assistants surrounded her attentively. met.

Shao's mother responded, staring out of the window, the car drove away, and the men and women who got off walked towards the luxury building across the street in high spirits.Father Shao was surrounded by the crowd, and the woman in the red dress followed suit. Even though the journey was so embarrassing, her slender figure was still so pleasing to the eye.

Do you want to go out?

In the end, she reached out and grabbed the cashmere scarf on the side shelf, and replied with a trembling voice, "The color is pretty good, take three more gray ones, just one for each person, and you will also need it in winter."

She turned her head, her pale face startled the waiters who were helping beside her, but before they could ask why, Shao's mother's feet softened, and she bumped into the side with a few sparse clothes hanging on the container.

"Xiaoqin!!!" Li Yuke was so frightened that he threw away the handbag he was still looking at.

Shao's father was almost annoyed to death by the ignorant little girl around him, but she was also the natal cousin of the chairman's wife who was the organizer of this event, and she was very popular in the social circle, so she couldn't easily offend her.

When walking around, he shook off the hands that were pinched on his shoulders without a trace. Shao's father deliberately stood close to the elevator wall. In the venue, the clothes were fragrant and his temples and shadows were intertwined. Shao's father ate a bright red and pleasant cream while talking and laughing. Strawberries, in the mouth, have a rich and sour sweet taste that is rarely found in out-of-season greenhouse fruits, and the quality is particularly good.He thought of his wife who loved to eat strawberry preserves at home these days, and hesitated whether to ask where such good strawberries were bought from.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a touch of red, and he raised his head, feeling a pain in his head.The chairman of the organizer, who had a particularly wild personal style, brought his sister-in-law, who was also uncompromising, approaching Pingting.

There are partners who can play around and tease him: "Old Shao, you have to be steady, this girl is young, and her mind is no less than yours. The relationship with her brother-in-law, Chairman Liang, is also a bit unclear, so be careful to set yourself on fire. "

Shao's father didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he really didn't know what to say, he held the wine glass and met the provocative eyes of the girl in red, he could only turn his head away helplessly.

The mobile phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. Father Shao raised his hand to block the two people who were approaching as if he had been granted an amnesty, said sorry, and turned his back to pick it up.

Li Yuke's sharp voice burst out from the receiver: "Xiaoqin is in the hospital!!"

Shao's father rushed to the hospital like a headless chicken, and yelled at Li Yuke: "When did you go back to City B!? Why didn't you see anyone? Well, now that you've developed your mind, don't you?! Ah? Really? I can't tell, if Xiaoqin didn't just see you, when are you going to go home?!"

Father Shao's face was pale: "I didn't get off the plane until after seven o'clock in the morning. There were too many people and it was too late to go home! How is Xiaoqin?"

Li Yuke was about to cry, so he pushed him hard and squatted down on the ground dejectedly.

When Shao Yan and Yan Daichuan rushed to the hospital, Shao's mother was still under examination. Shao Yan asked why Shao's mother entered the hospital, and Li Yuke glared at the bewildered Shao's father angrily: "Ask him!"

Shao's father looked at his son with a meaningful look, and he was about to die of injustice.His wife has been in poor health recently, and the couple usually talk on the phone on time. It was still early in City B today, so he was mainly worried that Shao's mother was still sleeping, so he didn't inform her that he had returned.Later, when I was busy, I forgot all about it. How could I have thought that I would just be bumped into in the commercial street!

As soon as the door of the consulting room opened, a bunch of people waiting outside all surrounded it in unison.

Li Yuke thought that if her sister was really angry, she would definitely fight this heartless old man, so she quickly asked, "What's the matter? Is there any danger?"

The white-robed doctor glared at everyone with a cold face, and said in a very rude tone: "Who is the family member of the patient!?"

Father Shao raised his hand tremblingly: "...I..."

"How old are the patients, and they don't usually take good contraceptive measures. Do you know that pregnancy at an advanced age is dangerous? No one in the family has discovered it!" The doctor's strong voice shook Father Shao's eardrums, "Just now The patient also said that he has been drinking soft-shelled turtle soup every day, and he was really careless! If he hadn’t been sent to the hospital because he was so emotional today, if he continued to eat like this, he would have a miscarriage sooner or later!”

Father Shao blinked his eyes, met the doctor's stern eyes, and suddenly felt that the wind was blowing so loudly that he began to have auditory hallucinations.

He counted his age with his fingers in the bottom of his heart, and stuttered when he spoke: "Avoid, contraception? Old, old... Pregnant at an old age?!"

Everyone, including Li Yuke, focused their eyes on the person involved.

Yan Yi Maitreya smiled like a Buddha, raised his hand and patted the back of the old brother-in-law, hehe twice, and laughed intriguingly: "Tsk tsk, I really underestimate you. Brother, can I ask for advice?"
