lady, please calm down

Chapter 369 Lao Chen’s White Moonlight

On the evening of May 22nd, Chen Yinglang quickly walked out of the uncle's house pushing the latest self-propelled horse from the Huaibei Iron Smelting Institute, but he didn't see Lu Yuanke who came with him, so he couldn't help but stop and look for it.

But more than ten feet away, outside a shop with a small facade, a new banner was picked out and read "Liu Ji Burger 11th Store". There was a long queue in front of the door, and Lu Yuanke was among them.

"Yuan Ke! Let's go, I got the factory construction approval! Haha, let's go!" Chen Yinglang shouted excitedly.

Seeing that he was about to be queued up, Lu Yuanke responded loudly: "Don't panic, wait until I buy two burgers."

Chen Yinglang had no choice but to push the car forward.

Inside the shop, there are two arched bread kilns built in one corner. A Mali woman constantly greases the dough with oil, sprinkles it with sesame seeds, and puts it into the kiln.

Then quickly take out the golden and soft bread from another kiln and skillfully cut it in the middle.

In the other corner of the shop, there are two oil pans with large pieces of chicken coated in starch rolling inside.

The owner of this shop is none other than Liu Sulu, a former villager in Luliuwei.

Just by hearing this name, you can tell that this person must be a slovenly person, but at this moment, Liu Shang stood in the store with a hero scarf on his head, plain clothes on his body, and his face and hands were clean.

Chen Yinglang also stayed at Luliuwei back then and took the initiative to say hello, "Hey, Uncle Liu is in good business. Has he opened his eleventh store?"

Liu Sugao, who was busy at work, looked up and saw Chen Yinglang. He grinned and said, "Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Chen! Haha, thanks to the prince and the empress, thirteen stores have been opened now, and the Cainan Industrial Zone has opened a new one. Two families.”

He couldn't hide his desire to show off, both inside and outside his words.

Also, who would have thought back then that Liu Sloppy, whose family had never finished a meal, would be transformed into the owner of a chain restaurant industry in just a few years!

While Liu Suluo lamented the wonderful encounters in life, he also naturally developed a bit of confidence that "I am not an ordinary person" out of thin air.

But his words of ‘Thanks to the prince and the princess’ were not just flattery.

In the early years of Luliuwei, Liu Sloppy's daughter worked as a cook in the kitchen of the Farm Reclamation Group. At that time, the boss liked to make some weird food, such as rolled dough, steamed rice rolls, meat buns, and hamburgers.

High-calorie foods such as roujiamo and hamburgers, which contain both noodles and meat, are not only very hungry, but also conducive to people on the road eating while walking. They are very popular among workers who travel and live a fast pace.

Liu Suluo started from the first store in Shizipo. Over the past few years, it has developed from Tongshan to Langshan, and now to Caizhou. It has opened more than a dozen stores in two prefectures and three counties. It can be considered a big business!

Not long after, the two freshly baked hamburgers were finished. Liu Sloppy wrapped them in straw paper and handed them to Lu Yuanke, saying that he would not take any money from Mr. Chen. The two gave in and Chen Yinglang left the eighteen cents. Lu Yuanke left quickly.

Chen Yinglang was not yet proficient in riding this self-propelled horse and did not dare to eat while riding, so the two of them turned back to Henan Road and sat on the steps in front of Chen Jingyan's house, the governor, intending to finish eating before setting off.

The porter of the Chen family was about to drive away, but found that the person sitting so shamelessly outside the house was actually his own nephew, so he could only smile bitterly.

This scholar from Huaibei is significantly different from the scholars from his hometown in Yingchuan. Generally speaking, the scholar has stayed in Huaibei for a long time, and his behavior and behavior are more casual. It can also be described as "down-to-earth".

Lu Yuanke was a scholar from Tokyo. He participated in the Xuandemen Rebellion last year. Later, seeing that the momentum was not right, he returned home before the King of Chu cleared the scene.

Afterwards, he was not on the list of forced labor reformers, but he was the only one in Tokyo who took the initiative to sign up.

Huaibei naturally welcomes people who have an open mind and are willing to learn new things and try to participate in depth, so he was appointed by the King of Chu to be Chen Yinglang's assistant and stationed in Tianshan County, Shouzhou.

Lu Yuanke finished a bowl-sized burger in three gulps, chewing and swallowing the cabbage leaves inside carefully, and said with unfinished thoughts: "Yinglang, why do you have so many cheap and delicious things in Caizhou? This burger is not available in Tokyo”

Chen Yinglang chewed the food in his mouth carefully and said lazily: "Do you think it can be like our Caizhou anywhere? This burger can only be found in Caizhou!"

"That's what I said." Lu Yuanke said sarcastically.

People always subconsciously protect their hometown. Although Lu Yuanke thinks Caizhou is weird, he comes from the big city of Tokyo after all!

Chen Yinglang's words, "It can only be found in Caizhou," made Lu Yuanke very unhappy.

"What's wrong? Don't believe it?" Chen Yinglang saw that Lu Yuanke was not convinced. In order to convince the latter, he carefully explained: "The reason why these hamburgers and Roujiamo are so popular in Huaibei is inseparable from the promotion of King Chu in the past few years. Family breeding for military families”

"I know this. When I first came to Huaibei, you took me to see the military households. Military families generally raised two to five pigs and ten to thirty or forty chickens. This method can be copied elsewhere. .”

Lu Yuanke said it in an understatement, but Chen Yinglang curled his lips when he heard it and said: "You said it in an understatement! Do you know how much time our Huaibei Agricultural Research Institute spent on selecting suitable pig breeds and chicken seedlings?

Take the Huaibei Ma chickens, which are the most cultivated nowadays, as an example. It only takes five to eight months to be put on the market. The raising time is shortened by half compared with the chicks that often take more than a year to be put on the market. This Ma chickens were collected from various places by the Agricultural Research Institute Selected varieties from nineteen varieties of chickens! How much is saved in breeding costs alone? "

"Then why not promote the No-Maj chickens elsewhere?" Lu Yuanke asked again.

Chen Yinglang immediately continued: "Are there so many corn stalks, sweet potato vines, and bran used as feed in other places? If these things were placed in barren lands, they would become people's rations. How could they be willing to feed chickens?

Furthermore, small farmers have extremely poor risk-taking capabilities. If their livestock get sick and die, their enthusiasm will be greatly affected. The government needs to share this risk with them, so the Agricultural Research Institute distributes yeast powder and lactic acid bacteria liquid free of charge. The former can promote the digestion and absorption of livestock, improve feed utilization, and shorten the time for slaughter; the latter can improve the gastrointestinal tract of livestock and enhance disease resistance. force

What’s lacking in other places is more than just chickens? They also lack easy-to-obtain feed, lack agricultural research institutes, and even lack officials like the King of Chu and my uncle who care about the people in every possible way!

With the above conditions, hens sold for 70 to 100 yuan in other places can be sold in Caizhou. Due to the large breeding volume and short time for slaughter, the price of chickens has dropped to 40 or 50 yuan per chicken. With cheap chicken, you can eat a burger priced at nine cents apiece! "

After analyzing it, Lu Yuanke was stunned for a while. Although he only half understood it, it didn't stop Lu Yuanke from admiring him and said: "Yinglang, you know so much! Where did you see it from?"

Chen Yinglang smiled mysteriously and said: "You know, when the King of Chu was still a minor official in Tongshan, he took over a village called Luliuwei, which is the village where the owner of the burger shop belongs."

Chen Yinglang pointed to the shop in the distance, and continued: "In just one small village, the King of Chu wrote an investigation report of ten thousand words. This is the habit of the King of Chu, and it is the same everywhere he goes. My cousin married into After returning to the palace, I helped the King of Chu sort it out and published a miscellaneous collection. It contains everything, including detailed investigation reports, random poems written by the King of Chu, and something called dialectics."

Chen Yinglang didn't know how to describe this thing for a while, but Lu Yuanke said: "Dialectics? Is the King of Chu going to write a book to establish it?"

Chen Yinglang shook his head first, then nodded, as if he didn't understand it, so he could only say vaguely: "I am studying it. It seems to be a way of thinking about problems. In short, it is very advanced!"

"Yinglang, let me copy a copy by hand!" Lu Yuanke said expectantly.

Chen Yinglang hesitated for a moment. The content in that miscellaneous collection was too rich. There were even several articles titled "The Two and Three Essentials of National Identity," "Basic Conditions for Mobilizing the People," and "The Relationship Between Emancipating the Mind and Material Conditions." '.

The title is quite scary, and even Chen Yinglang couldn't figure it out. However, Ayu has studied these things very deeply. In private, he once jokingly said, "This is the art of slaying dragons."

So far, this collection has only been circulated among the top second-generation people in Huaibei such as Chen Yinglang, Cai Si, and Xu Zhiyuan.

Even if it is for Lu Yuanke to read, the sensitive content must be removed first. After thinking about it, Chen Yinglang replied: "When I get back to Caizhou, I will copy a few articles for you to read."

"it is good!"

"Let's go, the approval document for the Chicken Sauce Canned Factory has been received. Hey, let's go find Wei Mingfu to attract investment!"

Speaking of this, Chen Yinglang became excited again.

Because the factories in Caizhou are approaching saturation, it is becoming increasingly difficult to recruit workers, and some factories with low technical content have plans to relocate elsewhere.

Chen Yinglang is not the only one who wants these projects to be settled under his rule.

Therefore, since Ayu and the King of Chu returned to Caizhou from Tokyo a few days ago, Chen Yinglang followed Chen Chu tirelessly. After pestering Chen Chu, he went to Jinglue Mansion to pester Chen Jingyan at night.

The hard work paid off, and I wonder if the two of them couldn't stand it anymore. Today, my cousin returned home from the palace to visit relatives, and finally brought the official approval document!

"Yinglang, let me ride your bicycle."

Before setting off, Lu Yuanke looked at Chen Yinglang and kicked off the bracket handsomely and said with envy.

The main bodies of these two self-propelled horses are made of steel produced by the Iron Smelting Institute, and the wheels are wrapped with Eucommia gum. The non-load-bearing parts are made of light wood and are painted black.

Although it’s a bit tiring to pedal, it’s so cool!

Moreover, this self-propelled horse sells for hundreds of dollars, which is more expensive than that of a strong and healthy horse. Most people cannot afford it.

Merchants and officials had the ability to buy it, but they thought it was not stable enough to ride and demeaning, so these second-generation people became the first to take advantage of it.

Whenever someone rides a bicycle and swaggers through the market, it always attracts the attention of countless young ladies and young wives.

At this time, Chen Yinglang would ring the bell on the handlebar loudly.

Showing off is a hobby of all young people.

"Don't throw it away." Chen Yinglang looked like a child who was reluctant to part with his toy, but he was embarrassed to refuse in order to avoid being too impatient, but the word 'distressed' was written all over his face.

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Lu Yuanke quickly assured.

Including eating hamburgers and then sitting on the steps to talk, the two stayed in front of the Imperial Palace for half an hour. When they were about to leave, they saw a thin middle-aged woman coming forward politely. After a graceful bow, she said politely He asked: "Dare I ask this young gentleman, is this the residence of Duke Chen Tao Jingyan?"

Even though Chen Yinglang was casual and free-spirited, he would not forget the etiquette brought up by his family. He hurriedly raised his hands and returned the greeting: "This is the residence of Uncle Xiaosheng. I wonder who my wife is."

"Oh?" The woman was slightly startled. She didn't expect that this husband was actually Chen Jingyan's nephew. She couldn't help but smile and said in an elder's tone: "My surname is Li and my name is Yi'an. Please tell me, my nephew." A visit from an old friend”

"." Chen Yinglang was stunned on the spot. But Lu Yuanke, who was next to him, had already jumped up and exclaimed: "Senior, could it be that the most famous poetess in the world is Yi An?"

At three o'clock in the hour, the sun turns to the west.

In the flower hall at the back of the mansion, Chen Jingyan, who had recently had a prosperous official career, sat on the main seat with a serious face, stroking his beard and said: "When you are at home, you obey your father, and when you get married, you obey your husband. In the palace, you must control your little temper, Yuan Zhang With everything going on day by day, Ayu needs a lot of help."

"Yes, daddy, my daughter knows."

Ayu and her mother looked at each other, sticking out their tongues and making faces. Mrs. Tan couldn't help laughing.

It has been nearly two months since I left Cai, and I finally came home to see my parents. My father always acted like a strict father, and always repeated these words that he had said countless times.

Mrs. Tan helped Ayu with a smile and said: "Ayu has been smart since he was a child, and he is a child who knows everything. Didn't you see that the wise son-in-law brought Ayu with him when he came to Beijing this time? The wise son-in-law is famous for loving his family, and the official People should worry less."

"Yuanzhang is worthy of trust. I'm pretty good at judging people."

As soon as Chen Jingyan said this, Ayu quietly turned her face away and rolled her eyes from an angle that only her mother could see.

Back then, if her father hadn't allowed her to be the "capital control" of concubines, Ayu would have been able to enter the house at least a year earlier. Now she still has the nerve to say that she is an accurate judge of people?

Mrs. Tan was amused by her daughter's funny appearance.

Chen Jingyan, who was completely unaware of the interaction between mother and daughter, continued: "But the back house of the palace is not as simple as ours. There is a princess above, and the third wife of the Cai family has a strong temper. Ayu needs to learn how to get along."

They were all the same old topics. Ayu was tired of hearing them and knew that her father couldn't give her any ideas, so she took the initiative to change the topic and said: "Dad, speaking of which, there are not many men as dedicated as dad." Yo. My mother is the only woman in my life."

These words touched Lao Chen's heart, and the fine lines on his well-maintained face were squeezed much deeper by the smile. He stroked his beard and said proudly: "If you say that dad is not as courageous as Yuan Zhang, dad will admit it. But. When it comes to special love, let alone Yuan Zhang, how many people in this world can compare with him as a father?"

"." Seeing her husband's proud face, Mrs. Tan opened her mouth to say something, but before she could say anything, she heard a howling like a slaughtering pig in the courtyard, "Uncle! Uncle! Master Yi An is here! When did you get to know her?" "

Before he finished speaking, Chen Yinglang rushed into the hall.

His face turned red, and he was obviously extremely excited.

Chen Jingyan was startled and blurted out: "Zhao'er came to Caizhou?"

Chen Yinglang, who was still in a state of extreme excitement, did not notice the fishiness of the title and said directly: "Uncle, Master Yi An is looking for you! You are really awesome."

Well, Chen Jingyan, who had never been praised by his nephew in person for half his life, got the compliment "really awesome" because he knew layman Yi An.

However, Chen Jingyan no longer cared so much. He subconsciously adjusted his clothes and stepped forward to greet him.

"Cough cough!"

But suddenly he heard two coughs mixed with extreme displeasure behind him, and then he remembered that his first wife was still here.

"Haha." Chen Jingyan turned around, laughed awkwardly, and explained forcefully: "My old friend came to visit, and I got a little carried away for a while. Madam, do you want to meet her?"

Mrs. Tan stood up with a cold face and said without thinking: "Since we are old friends since we were young, I naturally have to accompany the officials to meet their guests."

After saying that, he took a step forward, but then, as if he was not confident, he turned around and pulled his daughter in, "Ayu, let's go, accompany your mother to meet your father's old childhood friend!"

"what?"

Ayu obviously saw that something was wrong, especially when her mother said, 'accompany your mother to meet' instead of 'accompany your parents to meet'.

My mother is not confident anymore, so she has to bring her, the concubine of the King of Chu, to support the scene.

Is there any story between dad and the world-famous ‘number one female poet’?

Ayu glanced suspiciously at the devoted father who was pretending to be calm and rare in the world.

It's night in the Rouzhi Garden of the Royal Palace.

"Daddy was as panicked as a young man in love, hahaha. My uncle didn't see my mother looking like she was facing a formidable enemy. Unexpectedly, she just came to ask daddy for help in finding the inscriptions, calligraphy and paintings that were lost in Huaibei, hahaha."

After the spring breeze, Ayu nestled in Chen Chu's arms and talked about the scene this evening, laughing heartlessly.

"Is it possible that this talented woman in this world is your father's Bai Yueguang?"

Chen Chu smiled and said, Ayu was smart and immediately understood the meaning of Bai Yueguang from the context, and also laughed and said: "How can I ask my parents about this, but I guess that my father may have admired layman Li when he was young. .”

Speaking of this, Ayu suddenly sighed and said with emotion: "Although I have never seen Jushi Li when she was young, I have heard that she was a wonderful woman with both talent and beauty, but now she is also old."

"The most unbearable thing in the world is that the beauty of beauty bids farewell to the flowers in the mirror and quits the tree," Chen Chu chanted casually following Ayu's sentiments.

"Hey! Nice words, where's the full text?"

"Uh, that's all."

"You need to write down even one sentence!"

Even after getting married, Ayu has not lost her admiration for Chen Chu. When she heard this beautiful sentence, she got up, ground it, laid out some paper, and copied it down.

Ayu had already planned to record down all the good lines and lyrics that Chen Chu came up with every once in a while, so that the couple could complete them together and help Chen Chu publish a collection of poems or something like that.

So that the world can see that my uncle is not a martial artist who only knows how to fight and kill. He has many strengths, but he just doesn't like to show them off in front of people who are just trying to gain fame.

Not long after, after writing more than ten words, Ayu read it a few more times. Literary girls are the easiest to empathize with the words, and she actually became melancholy because of this sentence, "Speaking of which, layman Li had a bad fate when he retreated south with his husband. The calligraphy, painting, gold and stones he had spent half his life collecting were robbed by thieves. A year later, her husband died in Lin'an in depression.

After several years of widowhood, Li Jushi remarried Zhang Ruzhou, a petty official, but he was entrusted to an evil person. After Zhang Ruzhou defrauded Jushi Li of all his remaining wealth, he learned that her collection had been lost for many years, and he punched and kicked him every day. Li Jushi was furious. The prosecutor exposed Zhang Ruzhou for accepting bribes.

But there is a record in the Zhou Dynasty: A wife who accuses her husband must be imprisoned for two years. Li Jushi still did not hesitate to kill the fish and break the net. If he hadn't been rescued by his family, he would have died in prison."

Ayu has been known as a talented girl since she was a child. Perhaps the experience of this most talented woman in the world aroused Ayu's emotions; or maybe she felt that the laws of the world were unfair to women.

In short, Ayu became depressed as she recounted what happened to Master Li.

"How is she now?" Chen Chu suddenly asked.

Ayu sighed again and said: "Now that layman Li has no money left, the paintings, calligraphy, and stones that were lost back then have probably been washed away. Even if she finds her father, it will be difficult. She can't use the robbery more than ten years ago as an excuse. , forcibly take calligraphy, painting, gold and stones from other people’s homes. If you want to find them back, you can only spend money to buy them.”

Chen Chu rested his arms on his head and looked at the bed curtain and thought for a moment, then said: "Ayu, you can give a message to layman Li. I can help her buy the batch of inscriptions, calligraphy and paintings, but she has to agree to a condition. "

"What conditions?" Ayu asked curiously.

"Ask her to help me build a museum in Caizhou, and she will be the director."

"Uncle, this museum is..."

"The ancestral treasures should belong to the entire Chinese family, but now they are scattered among the wealthy merchants. They are owned by one family and are not visible to the common people. I want to collect valuable antiquities from all over the country, build a pavilion, and preserve them properly. Everyone can look up and appreciate the miraculous creations of our ancestors.”

This thing sounded quite majestic, but Ayu didn't understand the meaning of it. She couldn't help but tilt her head and look at Chen Chu, like a well-behaved schoolboy waiting for an answer.

That cute look can easily satisfy a man's vanity.

Chen Chu went on to explain: "The origin of national identity stems from the powerful martial arts of our ancestors that swept across all directions, and from the splendid culture created by our ancestors. Intangible culture is like the thoughts of various schools of thought, while tangible culture is the breathtaking essence of "Strange Antiquities"

Ayu walked slowly from the desk back to the bed and sat down, saying: "Uncle wants to build this museum because he wants everyone to feel after seeing it that being a Chinese Miao is something to be proud of. In this way, future generations will be able to Would you disdain being driven by a foreign race?"

"That's probably what it means."

　The leader of the alliance will send more updates!
