Hello 1983

  Chapter 431 is a joke

   In June 1985, the People's Daily published an article on the second page, "Why Clivia is Popular in Changchun".

  This article caused the Clivia craze to cool down rapidly, and the price of Clivia fell by more than 90%, completely returning to its original shape.

  Flowers are innocent, but human nature is greedy. I don’t know how many people lost their fortunes.

  Seeing Qi Shengli's body shaking, Chen Dongfang hurriedly supported him from behind.

  Qi Shengli's handsome face was full of despair at the moment, and he kept chanting unconsciously:

   "How could this be, how could this be?"

   Seeing that he had the tendency to become Xianglin's Wife, Chen Dongfang shook his shoulders a few times vigorously with both hands:

   "Victory, in business, there are losses and profits. The big deal is that we will earn back later."

   Qi Shengli finally regained some energy. His palm landed on the desk with a slap:

   "Brother Dongfang, I'm too greedy, I should have listened to you earlier."

  More than two months ago, they went to Jiapigou together to purchase yew saplings. At that time, Liu Qingshan's words touched Chen Dongfang a lot.

   Liu Qingshan’s original words are as follows: Boss Chen, is fifty yuan more expensive than five hundred yuan for a Clivia seedling?

   At that time, Chen Dongfang was greatly touched. Later, through his own channel, he vaguely heard that the higher-ups were going to attack Clivia.

  So he decisively called Chuncheng and asked the company to sell most of Clivia.

   Wait until the cost is paid back, and then stop selling Clivia.

  Thinking about it now, the actions at that time could not have been more sensible.

  Thinking of this, Liu Qingshan's smiling face involuntarily appeared in his mind.

  Chen Dongfang really didn't know, should he thank this young man, or should he hate him?

  If it wasn't for those **** things in the past, Chen Dongfang felt that he would definitely be friends with Liu Qingshan, and he would still be the best friend, even better than the boy Qi Shengli in front of him.

  Look at what Qi Shengli has done. Chen Dongfang also reminded Qi Shengli that if he sells some Clivia, he must at least guarantee that he will not lose money.

  But Qi Shengli has been so stimulated that he is dizzy. The more he earns, the more he wants to earn more.

  In contrast to Liu Qingshan, Chen Dongfang also had to admire the other party's vision and determination.

   Chen Dongfang had to be cautious with such a competitor who had a good eye and knew how to advance and retreat.

   After Qi Shengli got the news of Clivia's collapse, he couldn't sit still any longer. He wanted to rush to Chuncheng to clean up the mess, and then he had to go back to the capital.

  His investment did not belong to him alone, it involved their entire small interest group, and it was a fundraising effort by everyone.

   This time he lost everything, and he had to go back to deal with the aftermath.

  Before leaving, Qi Shengli seemed to have recovered from the blow, and held Chen Dongfang's hand:

   "Brother Dongfang, I will leave this to you first. When I come back, we two brothers will work hard. What we lost there will be made up at the instant noodle factory."

   "Well, definitely will!"

  Chen Dongfang is also full of confidence. The trial production of chicken soup Yi noodles has been successful. After tasting, everyone gave a high evaluation.

   thinks that the noodles are firm and the soup tastes delicious. The ex-factory price is 30 cents and the retail price is 50 cents.

   At the same time, they also bought a few bags of braised beef noodles at a high price from the workers at the Tongtong Instant Noodle Factory.

  The outer packaging is pretty good, the main color is red, and there are two cute cartoon little girl images.

  So I tore open the packaging bag, soaked a few bags, and distributed them to everyone for tasting.

   "Haha, clear soup with little water is far worse than our chicken soup Yi noodles!" Chef Shi took a sip of noodles and a sip of soup, and immediately came to the above conclusion.

  Other people's opinions were basically the same. Even Fujita Masaichi shook his head with contempt: "The braised beef noodles are simply a joke."

  Yeah, beef noodles without beef, isn’t that a joke?

  Chef Shi happily followed suit: "I guess they want to imitate our chicken noodle soup, haha, it looks like a cat and a tiger, and in the end it looks completely different. I heard it's five cents more expensive than our instant noodles."

  Hahaha, everyone burst into laughter.

  Only Chen Dongfang frowned secretly, he always felt that something was wrong.

  Similarly, Liu Qingshan and the others are also full of confidence in their unified braised beef noodles.

   After the first few days of twists and turns, the sample was also successfully produced.

   It's just for the sake of confidentiality, the vegetable bag and sauce bag have not been released yet, and they are under secret production.

  As for the place of production, it is the wild vegetable factory in Qingshan Town. It is relatively secluded there, and they are all their own people, so the news is well hidden.

  In the trial-produced instant noodles, of course, there is only one packet of ingredients. Of course, Liu Qingshan understands the truth that house thieves are hard to guard against.

   Another piece of good news comes from Big Brother Li, who is also a bachelor. After making up his mind, he directly went through the formalities of retirement.

  The relevant leaders in the county were of course very happy to see this kind of thing, and even felt a little bit sorry, so they promoted a level in consideration, so that Da Lao Li could retire honorably at the level of Zhengke.

  Subsequently, Da Lao Li reported to Liu Qingshan and formally took over the instant noodle factory.

   With the old factory manager in charge, Liu Qingshan was finally able to relax and drove back to Jiapigou directly.

  Dashuai Zhang and Director Fan did not follow in the same car. The two of them moved to the ham sausage factory to tinker with the formula.

  When Liu Qingshan returned to Jiapigou, it was already the first ten days of July, and the elementary schools in the village were on summer vacation.

   It is the hottest time of the year, but seeing Liu Qingshan's car, a group of kids still surrounded him.

   This has become a routine, as long as Brother Qingshan comes back, he will more or less bring them something delicious.

  Getting out of the car, Liu Qingshan became happier when he saw the expectant eyes of the children.

   "Brother, have you made instant noodles yet?"

   This is Xiao Lao Si.

   "Brother, is the ham sausage ready yet?"

  This is apricot.

  Liu Qingshan patted his chest arrogantly: "Of course it's done, come on, share a bag of instant noodles with the family, let's go home and cook."

   After speaking, he pulled out two noodle bags from the trunk.

   "Wow, such a big bag!"

  The children cheered in unison, this is enough for a month.

  Unexpectedly, Liu Qingshan opened the noodle bag, and inside were small plastic bags, weighing about one catty, with crooked, beige noodle rolls inside.

   "This isn't noodles, is it?" Er Mangzi looked at it more and more, and was about to howl.

  Liu Qingshan will coax the children: "This is all fried in oil, it is delicious."

  The children became happy at this moment, each received a bag, and Le Diandian went home to cook the noodle dregs.

  These instant noodles are, of course, failed products during the trial production. They will definitely not be sold if they are sold. There is no problem with eating them, and they are much better than dried noodles.

  Liu Qingshan took the hands of the fourth and fifth children and strolled home. The two little girls seemed a little disappointed: the instant noodles they were looking forward to, so it turned out to be like this.

  Lunch is ready at home. This is the graduation season, and Professor Wang led the students to school.

  The remaining Gao Feng and Li Tieniu went up the mountain during the day, and the number of people eating at home suddenly decreased by more than half.

   That’s grandparents, grandma Qiu Ju, plus mother Lin Zhi and eldest brother-in-law, and by the way, there’s the little one, Xiao Huo.

  The little guy was already able to walk. When he saw Liu Qingshan, he tied his arms and ran towards the gate, yelling:

   "Uncle...help."

  Liu Qingshan must be rescued, because the little guy is not stable on his feet, and he is about to fall forward.

  He strode forward to meet him, lifted Xiao Huo into the air, and the kid was still giggling happily.

   "You can't call him uncle for nothing. Uncle brought you delicious instant noodles!" Liu Qingshan pointed his forehead at Xiaohuo's small forehead, pretending to push the bull hard.

  He didn't know, but the little brother behind him pouted.

  But soon, the fourth child found out that the eldest brother took out a red plastic bag from the back backpack, which was square and dangling in front of Xiao Huo.

   "Auntie, little aunt."

  Xiao Huo stretched out her white and tender little finger, pointed at the instant noodles and cried.

  Xiao Lao Si pulled Shan Xing and hurried to the front, and then saw the package on the front of the instant noodles.

"Wow!"

  The two little girls held hands and jumped up. At first glance, this is a cartoon image designed according to the appearance of the two of them.

   Didn’t you see that even Xiao Huo recognized it!

  The two little girls jumped and shouted: "Let's serve instant noodles, let's serve instant noodles!"

   It made Liu Qingshan feel funny: What is instant noodles?

   "Qingshan is back, come in quickly, wash your hands and eat."

  Grandma Qiu Ju poked her head out of the outer door and greeted her.

  Liu Qingshan agreed, and after entering the room, he boiled half a pot of boiling water, and then found several large bowls.

  There are not enough bowls, so small pots are needed.

   Tear open the packaging bag, and put the noodles into the pots and bowls.

   "Wow, this is noodles, haha, it looks like it's burning my head!"

  The little old four cheered again.

  Compared with the instant noodle scum just now, this rectangular noodle cake looks taller.

  Looking at the crooked bread, it doesn't look like it's burning your head.

  Liu Qingshan took out a few more seasoning packets, and Grandma Qiu Ju saw that they were all plastic bags, so she went to get the scissors.

   "Grandma Qiu Ju, this can be easily torn by hand, with jagged teeth." Liu Qingshan demonstrated it.

   "Well, it's very convenient, why don't you call it instant noodles." Grandma Qiu Ju also wrinkled her face happily.

  Everyone started to do it one after another, even the fourth and fifth children could be torn apart, but the small fire was not enough.

  The little white ape also stretched out its little paws to join in the fun, but was pulled away by Liu Qingshan: "You can't put sauce buns in your portion, don't roll your eyes when it's too hot."

  The little monkey was still squeaking, expressing its protest.

  After soaking the instant noodles for a few minutes, they opened the lids one after another, and immediately, a faint fragrance diffused in the room.

   "It smells so good!"

  Xiao Laosi snuffed his nose vigorously. That's right, instant noodles do smell better than they taste.

   "Try all of them, this is produced by our instant noodle factory, and we are the first batch to taste it." Liu Qingshan first handed a bowl to his grandparents, followed by Grandma Qiu Ju and his mother.

   Hearing what he said, of course you have to try it.

  Everyone used chopsticks to pick up noodles. Grandpa Liu Shikui nodded cheerfully: "That's right, the noodles are quite long."

   "Wow, it's a little spicy, but it's more enjoyable!" Xiao Lao Si kept hissing his mouth.

   "The noodles are quite strong, and there are vegetables in them." The mother also nodded with satisfaction.

  Gao Wenxue first picked out half a bowl for Xiaohuo without hot sauce, and then gave the remaining half bowl to Xiaobaiyuan.

  He fed Xiaohuo a piece of noodles, and the little guy was bald, and when he ate it, it was soup or something that splashed on his father.

  Gao Wenxue took a sip of his own, and then nodded: "This instant noodle is really convenient. It can be eaten in a few minutes after soaking in a bag. In the future, when I write late, this is just right for me to eat."

  When Liu Qingshan heard this, he quickly stopped him: "Brother-in-law, what should I say about this thing? It's not very nutritious, it's just a convenience. When you're at home, you should eat less."

   After decades, instant noodles are almost classified as junk food.

  But at the moment, it absolutely cannot be calculated like this. It is mainly determined by people's living standards.

   A bag of instant noodles like this costs fifty cents. The money is enough to buy two marijuana flowers in a restaurant and drink a bowl of egg soup.

   After everyone finished eating the instant noodles, the fourth child patted his stomach and said, "I'm full, brother, our instant noodles are really delicious."

  Lin Zhi patted her palms lightly: "Oh, I only ate this instant noodles, and there are all leftovers for lunch!"

   After the meal, Liu Qingshan found that the fourth and fifth children had collected all the packaging bags of instant noodles. Looking at it like that, he probably wanted to show off to his friends.

  He hurriedly gave a few instructions, told them to keep it secret for the time being, and then went straight up the mountain.

  He stayed in the county for more than half a month this time, and he was always thinking about Mr. Wu.

  Seeing the familiar Woodcut Leng, Da Xiong ran over quickly, surrounded Liu Qingshan, sniffing hard.

   Probably smelled the instant noodle smell of Liu Qingshan.

  Liu Qingshan also brought a bag for it, of course it wasn't that kind of noodle cake, it was instant noodle scum in a plastic bag.

   "Qingshan, the first guess is you."

  Xiao Wu ran out of the wooden house, and he guessed it as soon as Big Bear ran away.

   "Fifth brother, I'm a bit busy these days, how is everything here?" Liu Qingshan explained with a smile.

  Xiao Wu nodded: "It's all good, but I'm too busy."

  Life in the mountains and forests is suitable for the elderly, but not so suitable for the young.

  Liu Qingshan laughed loudly and said, "You're such an idle asshole."

   It was the first time Xiao Wu heard this kind of statement. After thinking about it, he punched Liu Qingshan on the shoulder: "Then you boy, find something for me to do."

   "Don't say it, it's really something. I bought hundreds of tons of liquor on credit. You can sign the contract with them on behalf of the company." Liu Qingshan thinks that it is better to send Xiao Wu to this matter.

   These days, the word capital is a golden signboard.

  Xiao Wu was overjoyed at first, then pouted: Credit.

   "It's not that I don't give money, or you can go back to Beijing and collect more money."

  Liu Qingshan gave another path.

   "Then I'd better go on credit."

  Of course Xiao Wu knew how hard it was to get money, so he still made the right choice.

  The two brothers entered the room talking and laughing, Liu Qingshan was stunned, and saw that Wu Lao, who was sitting on the edge of the Kang and chatting with Song Yizhen, was actually wearing a pair of sunglasses, which felt weird.

   After greeting the two of them, Liu Qingshan smiled and asked, "Grandpa Wu, are you still used to living here?"

   "Not used to it."

  Master Wu responded with a sentence, making Liu Qingshan stunned.

  Wu Lao slowly took off his sunglasses: "I can see things so suddenly, I'm really not used to it."
