Rebirth 1978, Wife, I won't go back to the city

"It's just that Ding Erhe's unfortunate death has caused some negative impact."

"Luckily, Zhou Shuowen is willing to take on this huge responsibility. As long as we use our brains and think of a solution, I believe the problem Liu Yuan is facing will be solved soon!"

Li Jingshen couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions in his heart. He felt a little sad about Ding Erhe's death, but he also felt a sense of joy secretly.

After all, the existence of Ding Erhe has always bothered him. If Ding Erhe had not died, he would probably never be able to untie the knot in his heart.

Just then, Director Liu came over with a smile on his face and said kindly, "Xiao Li, I heard from Liu Yuan that your so-called micro-expression analysis was very helpful this time! Please tell me in detail."

Li Jingshen scratched his head a little embarrassedly and replied, "Oh, Director Liu, this thing can't be explained clearly in a few words! If you are really interested...why don't you just come and help me!"

Upon hearing this, Director Liu was stunned, his eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "What?!"

However, Li Jingshen suddenly had an idea at this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he secretly praised himself in his heart, saying that he was a genius!

Director Liu is a very famous person. Almost everyone who has been around here knows his name.

Moreover, most people have been disciplined by Director Liu before, so as long as Director Liu appears in front of everyone, his deterrent power is even stronger than those ferocious guys like Dahei.

So, Li Jingshen struck while the iron was hot and continued to persuade him, "Director Liu, aren't you going to retire soon? I'm thinking that with your energetic and strong body, you can't just spend your time fishing at home after retirement, right?"

Li Jingshen rubbed his hands excitedly and said expectantly, "If you don't mind, you can consider coming to help me! You'll be mainly responsible for ensuring safety-related work in our factory. I will definitely not treat you unfairly in terms of salary and benefits!"

After hearing this, Director Liu shook his head like a rattle and quickly waved his hands to refuse, "Don't be ridiculous! I don't even want to do government-assigned work anymore. I finally made it to retirement, so how can I have the energy to guard the gate for you? You're simply joking!"

Seeing this, Li Jingshen immediately put away his smile and explained seriously, "Oh, Director Liu, please don't think that! How could I really let you guard the gate? After you come, you will be the security director of several of our factories!"

Hearing the term "Security Director," Director Liu couldn't help but feel suspicious. He frowned and asked, "Security Director? It sounds like a position that manages people and things. How many people can it manage specifically?"

Li Jingshen replied without hesitation: "For now, you just need to take care of yourself, but as our factory continues to grow and develop, there will definitely be more and more people to manage in the future!"

When he said this, his expression remained calm, as if everything was under his control.

However, when he saw a hint of disdain in Director Liu's eyes as he looked at him, he quickly added, "Let's not talk about anything else for now. If you are willing to join us, I can teach you the technology of micro-expression analysis without reservation! Once you have mastered it, you can pass it on to Liu Yuan and the others. That way, this exquisite skill can be passed down!"

Director Liu shook his head and muttered, "Well, I won't work for you then! Let Liu Yuan and the others come and learn from you. I finally made it to retirement, and now I'm guarding your gate just for a measly ten or eight yuan a month. Where's my dignity going to go? If this gets out, people will laugh at me!"

After saying that, he rolled his eyes at Li Jingshen.

Li Jingshen couldn't help but frown upon hearing this and quickly explained, "Oh, Director Liu, I'm afraid you must have misunderstood! How can our salary be just ten or eight yuan? For someone like you who has extensive experience and has retired from the position of director, you should be paid at least two hundred yuan a month!"

Director Liu's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe his ears. He pressed on, "What? How much did you say?"

Li Jingshen raised his voice and repeated: "Two hundred yuan!"

Director Liu was stunned for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Is this a year's salary?"

Li Jingshen replied with a puzzled look, "It's not a year's salary, it's a month's salary, Director Liu!"

Upon hearing this number, Director Liu fell silent for a moment.

After a long while, he cleared his throat awkwardly, coughed twice, and then said, "Ahem... Well, actually, I just think you're quite sincere. Otherwise, I would never agree."

"Besides, I still have some retirement-related paperwork to go through. The earliest I can start working for you is the day after I finish all of that!"

Li Jingshen, who was standing aside, tried hard to suppress his laughter, thinking to himself: If Director Liu was a more flexible person, with his many years of work experience, he would be able to save a lot of money.

But he didn't commit any corruption or bribery, and he just kept receiving a fixed salary, so he might not have saved any money.

All I can say is that once he retires, his treatment will definitely be excellent, there's no doubt about that!

But if he could get an extra two hundred dollars every month for no reason, how could he refuse?

Director Liu showed a hint of embarrassment and frowned. "Hey, what's that expression on your face? Why does it look so weird?"

Li Jingshen, standing by, shook his head slightly, a look of concern on his face as he replied, "It's nothing, Director Liu. I'm just a little worried about whether your retirement procedures can be handled smoothly. Speaking of which, it seems you haven't reached the required retirement age yet, right?"

Hearing this, Director Liu shook his head again, then continued slowly, "Indeed, I'm still a little short of retirement age, but you don't know, Xiao Li, I've been so dedicated to my work over the years that I've suffered numerous injuries and illnesses, both large and small. Now my body can't take it anymore, so applying for medical retirement shouldn't be a big problem."

Li Jingshen pondered for a moment and nodded. He then lowered his head and slowly extended his right hand toward Director Liu. He said sincerely, "That's great! Director Liu, on behalf of all my colleagues here, I would like to extend my warmest welcome to you!"

"From now on, we must work together to create a brilliant new world for our career and make our team stronger and stronger!"

Seeing this, Director Liu no longer acted coy. He smiled heartily, reached out and tightly shook Li Jingshen's outstretched hand, and replied in a firm tone, "Haha, no problem! Don't worry, Xiao Li. As long as you pay me enough, I promise to work hard and do my best. I will definitely make you feel that every penny is worth it!"

After sending Director Liu away, Li Jingshen was in a good mood and began to think about what business he should start next.

The income of feed mills and pig farms has become stable. If they want to increase their income, they have to continue to expand.

But expanding feed mills and pig farms is definitely not as simple as just talking about it.

Li Jingshen knows too many cases where companies expanded too quickly and quickly collapsed!

The scale of feed mills and pig farms must be expanded step by step in order to become bigger and stronger.

If you expand too quickly at one time, it will lead to excessive investment and not enough to cover your expenses!

Finally, there was a shortage of funds, and they couldn't even afford to buy raw materials, which led to bankruptcy.

Li Jingshen is no longer working alone as before. If he does business alone like before, he wouldn't care even if he loses money or goes bankrupt.

But nowadays, the three factories, the feed factory, the pig farm and the garment factory, have hundreds of employees.

If any problem occurs in any factory, it will cause a chain reaction and will have serious consequences!

Since he couldn't expand the scale of these three factories, he could only explore other industries.

The feed factory and pig farm are managed by Zhao Fei and Wei Ping, so he doesn't need to worry about anything!

The garment factory is managed by Liu Yueyue, so he doesn't have to do everything himself!

He can't just sit idle, right?

Li Jingshen frowned and fell into deep thought, wondering what kind of industry would be suitable for him to start a business in.

Suddenly.

His eyes lit up, he thought of something, and immediately got up and went into the house.

"Wife, come with me to town!"

Li Jingshen took Jiang Xue away from home and headed towards Maolin Town, deciding to give his idea a try.

If there is an industry that can be all the rage, it is undoubtedly the spicy snacks industry!

And from the moment spicy strips appeared, even decades later, they remained the most popular snack in school canteens.

The most important thing is that the process of making this thing is extremely simple!

Li Jingshen told Jiang Xue his idea, and went to the town with Jiang Xue to buy a lot of soybeans.

Although Jiang Xue didn't quite understand what spicy strips were, she was still willing to support Li Jingshen's idea.

When the two returned home after buying soybeans, they happened to see Jiang Hua at home.

Jiang Hua has been helping Li Jingshen all the time. She can be seen busy at the feed factory, pig farm and garment factory.

Recently, the three factories have been operating in an orderly manner, and she doesn't need to worry about most things.

She finally had a few days to rest, but she saw Li Jingshen carrying a bag of soybeans home.

Jiang Hua couldn't contain his intense curiosity and asked, "Why did you two buy so many soybeans at once? What are you going to use them for?"

Jiang Xue replied with a smile: "Sister, he said he would teach you how to make spicy noodles."

Hearing this, Jiang Hua's eyes lit up instantly, but then a look of doubt appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself: "Spicy strips? Made with soybeans? I really don't know if it will taste good."

At this moment, Li Jingshen was busy unloading the items from the car one by one. At the same time, he confidently responded to Jiang Hua's question: "Hey, just wait and see! When I make the spicy strips and bring them to you, I bet you won't be able to stop eating them!"

As soon as he said these confident words, Jiang Xue and Jiang Hua both felt a sense of anticipation in their hearts.

Although they had never seen it before, or even heard of what the so-called spicy strips were.

But seeing Li Jingshen's confident and sure-of-victory look, they still chose to believe that Li Jingshen was definitely not talking nonsense or bragging.

"If you want to make delicious spicy noodles, you first have to process the soybeans into bean curd sheets."

Li Jingshen skillfully brought a large basin and, while carefully washing the soybeans, patiently explained to the two sisters, "The process of making tofu skin isn't particularly complicated, but it's relatively time-consuming. Furthermore, the heat must be precisely controlled during the process. Any carelessness could ruin all your efforts."

Li Jingshen carefully picked up the soybeans soaked in water. These round and plump soybeans looked like crystal clear gems.

He gently placed them in the old and solid stone mill in the middle of the yard, then led the docile donkey and began to slowly drive it to pull the millstone.

"Soybeans, generally speaking, it's best to soak them for about twelve hours. But today, in order for you to learn this skill as quickly as possible, we will try to shorten the time." Li Jingshen explained with a smile to Jiang Hua who was listening attentively beside him.

Jiang Hua nodded attentively.

As the donkey slowly turned the millstone, white and delicate soy milk gradually flowed out.

After all the soybeans were ground, Li Jingshen skillfully poured all the soy milk into a huge iron pot.

He expertly lit the fire, the flames happily licking the bottom of the pot. At the same time, he continued to impart his experience to Jiang Hua: "I told you before that the heat is very important when making soy milk! The most crucial thing is that once the soy milk starts to boil, you must control the fire steadily. You must not let it rise and fall at random."

Before long, the soy milk in the iron pot began to boil violently, bubbling with hot steam, like a pot of elves dancing happily.

After the soy milk was completely boiling, Li Jingshen did not rush to do anything, but waited patiently for the temperature to drop slightly.

At this moment, he keenly discovered that a thin layer of substance like an oil film had condensed on the surface of the soy milk.

In the blink of an eye, Li Jingshen quickly picked up a long bamboo chopstick that had been prepared long ago, gently inserted it into the pot, and then picked it up. A piece of bean curd skin as thin as a cicada's wing and golden in color was successfully taken out of the pot.

"How about it? It looks simple, doesn't it?" Li Jingshen looked at his second sister Jiang Hua with a proud look on his face.

Jiang Hua also nodded and replied with a smile: "Well, it does look not difficult."

"Haha, then you try it." As he said that, Li Jingshen handed the chopsticks in his hand to Jiang Hua.
