Chapter 137 Meeting the Noble One Again [Please subscribe]

Li Yunhai ordered the people in the store and rode to the Changdao Hotel, which was a landmark building in Xizhou in the 70s.

This year, most of the outsiders who came to Xizhou stayed at the Changdao Hotel. In fact, there is a higher-end hotel called Furong Hotel, which is on the north side of Wuyi East Road. It is 50 meters high and the main building is 17 stories high. It's built.Li Yunhai went to find out specifically that this hotel would not be open for trial operation until September 9th.

As soon as Li Yunhai entered the gate of Changdao Hotel, he saw the eye-catching Rolls-Royce sedan. It seemed that Guo Wanhua came here in a special car.

He found the building number and knocked on the door.

The door here has not yet opened, but the door behind and the door next door opened, and a middle-aged man and a young woman came out. They came forward and asked: "Sir, who are you looking for? "

When Li Yunhai heard this, he knew that they were all Guo Wanhua's people.

At this time, the door opened. Guo Wanhua stood at the door, waved to the two people, and said, "Mr. Li is my friend, you go back to your room!"

The two men respectfully agreed, returned to the room, and still closed the door.

Guo Wanhua turned slightly sideways and made a gesture to invite in: "Mr. Li, please."

Li Yunhai nodded and walked in.

Guo Wanhua wore a sleeveless black suspender dress. Her smooth and round arms, white and delicate shoulders and neck were all exposed, and her chest was high and white.

In stark contrast to the exposed upper body, the lower body, all the way to the ankles, was covered by the long skirt, with only the insteps wearing high-heeled sandals exposed.

The long black skirt hugged her body, with graceful curves, showing an S-shaped arc. Her slender legs were bound in the tight skirt, making her as elegant and charming as a mermaid, adding a bit of imaginary beauty.

Li Yunhai smiled slightly and asked, "Mrs. Chen, when did you arrive in Xizhou?"

Guo Wanhua asked him to sit down on the chair by the window and said: "We arrived the day before yesterday, but we just went to my husband's hometown first. Yesterday was the anniversary of his father's death. He was abroad and did not have time to come back to visit his grave. I Make a drink offering on his behalf.”

"It is only natural that you should pursue your goals carefully. It can be seen that you and Mr. Chen are both very traditional people."

"Oh, don't mention it. The tomb is on the mountain and hasn't been cleaned for a long time. In order to climb the mountain, I lost a pair of shoes and twisted my foot. My arm was cut by the grass on the mountain."

As Guo Wanhua spoke, she stretched out her snow-white arm, turned over her elbow, and showed it to Li Yunhai.

Her arms were soft and delicate, as white as a piece of jade without any flaws. There were indeed a few scratches on her forearms from grass blades, which were red and bright.

Li Yunhai said that the leaves of the weeds on the mountains are very sharp, so you must be careful when walking.

Guo Wanhua raised her hand, gently held her chin, looked at Li Yunhai, and smiled softly: "I am in Xizhou, and I don't know anyone except you. Fortunately, you came to chat with me, otherwise it would be very boring. .You haven’t had dinner yet, right? I wonder if there are any better restaurants in Xizhou? Can you recommend them?"

Li Yunhai said that the restaurants of Changdao Hotel are very good, including Yuloudong’s dishes, Yang Yuxing’s noodles, Xu Changxing’s duck, Deyuan’s steamed buns, Huang Chunhe’s noodles, Liu Defang’s glutinous rice balls, Li Hesheng’s beef, and Shuangyanlou’s wontons. , Qiangmin’s turtle, sheep and dog meat, Xiangqun’s pot dumplings, Yinyuan’s steamed dumplings, and Huogong’s stinky tofu are all famous Xizhou delicacies.

When Guo Wanhua heard that there were so many delicious foods, she immediately became interested and asked, "Are you free? Can you take me to find delicious foods?"

"Okay, which restaurant do you want to eat from?"

"Well, before I came here, I heard about the name of Fire Palace. I heard that the stinky tofu and Mao's Braised Pork there are very famous. So why don't I go and try it? Speaking of which, I haven't eaten it yet. It’s too stinky tofu!”

"Okay, let's leave now?"

"OK."

Guo Wanhua stood up, took down a short white shawl from the hanger next to her, draped it over her shoulders, and tied a bow on her chest. In this way, more than half of the exposed skin was reduced. It turned out that this was It's her go-to outfit.

From this point of view, she really didn't treat Li Yunhai as an outsider just now.

But yes, when she was swimming in the White Swan last time, Li Yunhai had already noticed her graceful figure. It would be ungenerous to guard against thieves today.

As soon as they opened the door, the doors next door and opposite opened almost at the same time, and a man and a woman came out.

The 50-year-old man who lives across the street is Guo Wanhua's driver, and the young woman who lives next door is her assistant.

They naturally followed Guo Wanhua and Li Yunhai.

After going downstairs, several people came to the Rolls-Royce.

The assistant opened the rear door and asked Guo Wanhua and Li Yunhai to get in the car, while she sat in the passenger seat.

Guo Wanhua asked Li Yunhai to show the way.

Li Yunhai told the driver to keep driving along Wuyi Road and tell him where to turn when the time comes.

Guo Wanhua asked: "Mr. Li, I have your business card. I remember that your store is located on Wuyi Road, right?"

"Yes, not far ahead."

"Oh, can you take me to see it?"

"it is good."

The store happened to be closed just yet.

When the car drove to the front of the store, Li Yunhai shouted: "We're here, please come close and park."

Guo Wanhua has already seen the tall and bright sign of Sihai Store.

Li Yunhai invited her into the store.

Guo Wanhua walks very carefully because the skirt is too narrow, which restricts her pace. Therefore, this kind of skirt is also called a lady's skirt.

"Mr. Li, your store is very big!" Guo Wanhua praised and said, "You only sell computers, printers, and copiers?"

"We only sell these items for the time being."

"Well, how is business?"

"not bad."

"Mr. Li, why don't you act as an agent for engineering equipment? Such as engineering printers, engineering scanners, and engineering copiers. My husband's business includes engineering office equipment. We are planning to invest in a factory in Huacheng specifically for Produce engineering office equipment. The development of the mainland has great demand for engineering equipment."

Li Yunhai thought to himself, it turns out they make engineering equipment!
Engineering copiers have the same principle as common office copiers, but office copiers can only copy documents up to A3 format, while engineering copiers can copy documents up to A0 format.The design is also very different from the office copier, especially the structural design is completely different.

Engineering printers, as the name suggests, are used to print engineering drawings, that is, large-format printers. Because the format of engineering drawings is A3+ or above, only large-format printers can be used for printing.

The same applies to engineering scanners, which are used to scan large-format and large-size engineering drawings.

Of course Li Yunhai knew about the existence of engineering equipment.

However, he is just starting out and does not have enough funds to build engineering machines.

Engineering machines are not cheap, with prices ranging from 10,000+ to hundreds of thousands, which are not within the reach of ordinary people.

For engineering color laser printers, the purchase cost is basically hundreds of thousands or even millions.

Monochromatic ones are cheaper, but only relatively speaking.

Li Yunhai scratched his head and said with a smile: "Mrs. Chen, my small shop can't afford large-scale engineering equipment. Even if I just buy a few prototypes, it will cost millions. I can just buy a few. It would cost tens of millions to store the goods in the warehouse.”

Guo Wanhua visited Li Yunhai's store and said, "This is not a problem. The question is, do you want to do it? If you want to do it, I can help you."

Li Yunhai smiled and replied, of course I want to do it.

Guo Wanhua pondered for a moment and said: "Look at your store, there are so many second-hand computers and copiers of the same model. There is no need for you to put so many, it seems very classless. Okay, I will ask the company to send one to each The prototype is given to you, and you make space in the store to display it. The prototype still belongs to our company, we are just lending it to you as a prototype. If you can receive the order, tell me and I will ask the company to ship it to you. How about it? ?”

In this way, Li Yunhai can make engineering equipment without any extra cost!
It also shows Guo Wanhua's trust in Li Yunhai!

Hundreds of thousands or even millions of prototypes!
Just give it!
You know, the domestic market for large-format engineering machines like this is almost blank!
Anyway, Li Yunhai hasn't discovered who is doing it in Xizhou.

As the country engages in infrastructure and real estate development, and with the prosperity of self-employed individuals, private shops, and private enterprises, there will be a surge in demand for engineering equipment.

Li Yunhai is the first to introduce this kind of equipment in Xizhou, so he will definitely take the lead!

Moreover, placing these high-end equipment in the store can improve the store's level!
It can also increase the credibility of Sihai stores!
"Of course that's good!" Li Yunhai smiled happily and said, "Mrs. Chen, you are really my noble one!"

Guo Wanhua pursed her lips and smiled slightly: "I will take care of this business. Do you have a phone here?"

"Yes, Mrs. Chen, the phone is at the cashier." Li Yunhai made an inviting gesture.

Liu Yan and Ding Miao at the cashier stood up together, moved their seats, and asked Guo Wanhua to sit down.

Guo Wanhua sat down gracefully and gently picked up the microphone.Every movement she makes is elegant and slow, just like those ladies of the Republic of China period.

With a woman like her, time seems to slow down, and there seems to be a lot of time to waste.

Guo Wanhua slowly dialed a phone number.

Li Yunhai thought to himself that this kind of dial phone should be dialed slowly like her, and the call would be connected as soon as she dialed it.

Guo Wanhua said into the microphone: "Yuankang, it's me. I'm in the mainland, yes, I'm still in Xizhou. Let me tell you something, please remember it. I have a friend in Xizhou, his name is Li Yunhai, he makes office equipment For business, please send us a brand new prototype of each of the several types of engineering office equipment our company currently has. The address and phone number are - "

She looked at Li Yunhai.

Li Yunhai took out a business card and placed it in front of her.

Guo Wanhua looked at the business card, reported her phone number, and then compared the business card with her detailed address.

"Yuanyasu, please send someone to deliver the goods! It will be delivered tonight. I will still be in Xizhou tomorrow. Yes, it will be delivered overnight. It will be delivered from our warehouse in Huacheng. Okay, that's it, it's settled, bye! "

She put down the phone and said to Li Yunhai: "I asked them to deliver the goods today, and they will arrive at noon tomorrow."

Li Yunhai said hello and thanked Mrs. Chen for her trust and support.

He looked at the display in the store and thought this is great!
Since opening, he has been thinking about what kind of products would be better to add to the store. Most of the products currently on display are second-hand copiers and computers, which do not look classy and a bit messy.

With this batch of engineering equipment, the store can be filled with prototypes!
Li Yunhai invited Guo Wanhua to drink tea, and then invited her to the Fire Palace.

The Fire Palace was destroyed by fire in the Wenxi Fire in 1938.

It later underwent many reconstructions and repairs.

By 1984, it had begun to take shape and was rebuilt into an antique building with halls, buildings, pavilions and pavilions, and was renamed "Fire Palace Restaurant."

When they arrived at the Fire Palace, Li Yunhai accompanied Guo Wanhua to visit the Fire Palace and then dine in the hall.

Li Yunhai asked Guo Wanhua to take a seat, and then asked her driver and assistant to take a seat.

The driver and assistant gently waved their hands, chose another seat and sat down.

Guo Wanhua smiled slightly: "You don't have to worry about them, they will solve the food problem by themselves."

Li Yunhai thought to himself, this wealthy family has many rules.

Guo Wanhua has also heard that many celebrities at home and abroad, when they come to Xizhou, will definitely come to the Fire Palace to try the snacks, especially stinky tofu and lard glutinous rice cakes.

"Three years ago, I read a report that Congressman Kennedy from the United States came here to visit and liked to eat the lard glutinous rice cake here." Guo Wanhua said to Li Yunhai with a smile.

"Yes, I have also seen this news. I had just been admitted to Xizhou Industrial Technical School at that time. The young man is high-spirited and loves to pay attention to national affairs."

Fire Palace retains the ancient sales model, in which small carts push various delicious snacks back and forth in the restaurant. On those stalls, there are bright pennants with the names of the snacks embroidered on them. The clerks pushing the carts were shouting and selling as they walked around, giving them a very market-like feel.

When Guo Wanhua saw the snack she liked, she called over and soon the whole table was filled.

She tasted each and said that this fried dough stick was the best. She had never tasted such authentic fried dough sticks in Xiangjiang or Huacheng.

Li Yunhai smiled and told an allusion.

In May 1973, Mr. Hua Luogeng, a famous mathematician, conducted a more than a month-long "optimization method" experiment in the Fire Palace. The experiment concluded that the oil temperature of small fried dough sticks reached 5°C, and the oil temperature of medium fried dough sticks reached 224°C. . When the oil temperature reaches 155℃ to 195℃, the fried dough sticks will have the largest volume, the best taste and the smallest fuel consumption.

After hearing this, Guo Wanhua was very surprised. She pursed her lips and chuckled: "So there is so much knowledge involved in frying fried dough sticks? You use scientific and rigorous methods to fry fried dough sticks. No wonder the fried dough sticks are different."

She has tasted all the traditional delicacies such as stinky tofu, sugar-oiled cake, dragon-fat pig blood, shredded pork dumplings, sister dumplings, scaly tofu, braised pig's feet, and other traditional delicacies.

At the end of the meal, there were still a lot of delicacies. She rubbed her belly gently with her hands and said, "No, I can't eat anymore, but these delicacies are really great! I will definitely bring Meilin over to try them next time." .”

Li Yunhai said okay, when Mei Lin is free, you can bring her over and I will receive you.

After dinner, Li Yunhai settled the orders for both tables.

Guo Wanhua said I would pay the bill.

Li Yunhai said that you are a guest from afar, and I am the host. I should treat you as a landlord.One day I go to Xiangjiang, please invite me again!

After dinner, it's still early.

Guo Wanhua asked if there was any nightlife in Xizhou?
Li Yunhai had to sigh.

Ten years later, Xizhou will indeed be the most famous nightlife area in the country.

It's a pity that this was 1984, and the atmosphere in Xizhou was not that open, not even as good as Huacheng.

Of course he couldn't say no, and recommended her to visit the night market, saying there were delicious food and fun things there.Or maybe go see a movie.

"Eating again?" Guo Wanhua smiled gently, "I'm going to Xizhou and I'm going to gain a few pounds."

In fact, she is very thin, I cannot say skinny, she is just moderately fat and thin, plump and plump, with the charm of a mature woman. The look and feel of such a woman are undoubtedly first-class.

Guo Wanhua had nothing to do, so she went shopping in the night market accompanied by Li Yunhai.

Since the opening of the night market street, there have been more and more self-employed people. The latecomers couldn't find good stalls on the main street, so they also developed the alleys next to it, making the entire night market street more prosperous.

In addition to spicy food, Xizhou’s specialties also include sweet and fragrant snacks.

Like the famous wick cake, anise cake, liqueur, sugar and oil cake, etc.

In addition, Hunan embroidery, which is famous at home and abroad, is also a good specialty, especially the double-sided embroidery, which is considered a unique specialty.

Guo Wanhua walked down the street and bought many specialties.

She wanted to buy something, so she pointed at this thing and looked at the assistant.

The assistant understood and paid for it.

After shopping, Li Yunhai asked them if they wanted to watch a movie?
Guo Wanhua looked at the time and said forget it today.

She saw many late-night snack stalls and restaurants nearby and said with a smile: "It's a pity that my appetite is too small. I really want to eat when I smell these fragrances."

Li Yunhai said he would bring you over to play again tomorrow, right?
Guo Wanhua said hello and returned to the Changdao Hotel.

Li Yunhai sent her into the room and said, "Mrs. Chen, you go to bed early. I'm going back."

Guo Wanhua said that you have worked hard today.

Just as Li Yunhai turned around, Guo Wanhua called out to him again.

She knelt down and opened one of her suitcases.

Her back is indescribably plump and colorful, with more charming charm than a girl. To a mature man, a woman like her is more lethal.

Guo Wanhua took out a brocade box, handed it to Li Yunhai, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your help many times, I don't know what gift to give you. This is a tie I bought when I went to Suzhou. I heard it is purely handmade. The embroidery was made of silk material. It looked good to me, so I bought it. I originally wanted to give it to my husband, but the color and pattern were too youthful. I think it is more suitable for you. I will give it to you. Here it is, don’t dislike it.”

Li Yunhai knew that he was rich and didn't care about this gift. If he refused, it would be a disgrace to him, so he stretched out his hands to take it and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mrs. Chen. I haven't given you any gifts yet! You Instead, he gave me a gift. I’m so embarrassed.”

"Okay, let's not make such a clear distinction between us." Guo Wanhua gently stroked a strand of hair on her temples and smiled gently.

Li Yunhai said goodbye and left.

He came here on a motorcycle. He had just gone out to eat and the car was parked downstairs of the hotel. He was still riding his motorcycle home.

When he arrived at the door of his house, he saw that the lights were on and the TV was blaring.

Lin Zhi must be here.

Sure enough, Lin Zhi heard the sound of the motorcycle and ran out, pouting and stamping her feet displeased: "Yunhai, I agreed that I would come to you at night, but I came and you were not at home! Humph! You are Didn’t you go to find Shen Xiulan?”

Li Yunhai laughed and said, "It's really rare for you to be jealous. Go in and talk."

　Third, ask for a monthly ticket.
