Reborn in 1985: From Selling Braised Duck to Becoming the World's Richest Man

After leaving the county machinery factory, both Liang Ming and Jiang Meizhuang had smiles on their faces.

"We've finally finished customizing the machinery for the food processing plant. Although it will take more than half a month before it can be produced, at least there's a deadline."

Jiang Meizhuang said.

Liang Ming nodded slightly and said, "Our food processing plant needs some time to complete things like site selection and recruitment!"

"Once the food processing equipment is ready, the food processing plant will be built at the same time."

"It won't take up too much time!"

Jiang Meizhuang nodded slightly.

"Your matter is resolved. I've spent half the day with you, and now it's almost lunchtime..."

At this moment, Jiang Tao spoke up with a smile.

Hearing Jiang Tao's words, Liang Ming and Jiang Meizhuang exchanged a smile and said in unison:

"Thank you for accompanying us all this way, brother. It's getting late, how about we treat you to a proper meal at Xiangmanlou Restaurant?"

"Yes, let's go to Huixiang Manlou Restaurant and have a good meal!"

Upon hearing Liang Ming and Jiang Meizhuang's words, Jiang Tao smiled and said, "Alright, alright, since you've all said so, then I won't stand on ceremony."

"Brother, given our relationship, why are you being so polite with us? Eat as much as you like."

Liang Ming smiled.

After deciding where to go, the three drove to Xiangmanlou Restaurant in the county town.

It was already past four in the afternoon, almost lunchtime, and the restaurant was noticeably busier.

When the waiters saw Liang Ming and Jiang Meizhuang, the two bosses, arrive, they simply greeted them and went back to their own business.

Inside the Xiangmanlou Restaurant, although everyone seemed to be in a hurry, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

"Liang Ming, little sister, it seems that Xiangmanlou Restaurant is being run very well under your management."

Seeing this, Jiang Tao said with an appreciative expression.

When his sister opened the Xiangmanlou restaurant, the start-up capital was lent to Jiang Meizhuang by him.

Initially, Xiangmanlou Restaurant attracted many customers by imitating the dishes of state-run restaurants and by offering affordable prices.

However, as time went on, the number of diners at Xiangmanlou Restaurant gradually decreased.

First, because the novelty has worn off for diners.

Secondly, although the dishes at Xiangmanlou Restaurant are indeed quite good, the prices are still a bit higher than those of ordinary small restaurants.

A while ago, his younger sister, Jiang Meizhuang, suddenly told him that the business of Xiangmanlou Restaurant had suddenly improved, which made him very curious.

It was only after inquiring that I learned that it was Liang Ming who gave Jiang Meizhuang some advice, which led her to create some new dishes.

And these new dishes have indeed brought about tremendous changes to Xiangmanlou Restaurant.

It was originally just an ordinary private restaurant.

With Liang Ming's help, it unexpectedly became the number one private restaurant in Taoyuan County.

It was around that time that Jiang Tao learned about Liang Ming's business acumen.

When Jiang Tao later learned that his younger sister, Jiang Meizhuang, was dating Liang Ming, he was still somewhat indignant.

After all, it's a cabbage that we've raised for over twenty years, and it's been eaten by a pig like this. No one would be happy about that.

Later, Shitou Township encountered difficulties in its economic development, as there were few enterprises in the township that could step forward and take the lead.

It was Liang Ming and Jiang Meizhuang who contributed both money and effort to get the radio assembly factory up and running.

It can be said that Jiang Tao's current praise from county leaders is inseparable from Liang Ming's help.

Jiang Tao grew to like his brother-in-law more and more the more he looked at him.

"Brother Jiang Tao, you flatter us. We were just lucky!" Liang Ming said modestly.

Jiang Tao waved his hand and said, "Good luck is also part of one's ability."

"Moreover, your situation is definitely not as simple as just being lucky."

Seeing that his elder brother and Liang Ming were about to boast to each other.

Jiang Meizhuang quickly interrupted, "Alright, stop flattering each other. Everyone's hungry, let's order and eat."

Upon hearing Jiang Meizhuang's words, Liang Ming and Jiang Tao exchanged a glance and smiled.

After the three entered the private room, they called over a waiter from the restaurant.

Liang Ming and Jiang Meizhuang took the lead and ordered a few dishes first, and then let Jiang Tao order the rest.

After ordering the food, Liang Ming asked the staff to bring out a bottle of Golden Wine.

"Brother Jiang Tao, let's just have a bottle of Golden Wine tonight. Drinking too much is bad for your health."

This bottle of golden wine weighs 1 jin (500 grams).

If two men are just having a few drinks, that's perfectly fine.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I really don't dare drink too much anymore, your sister-in-law will scold me."

Jiang Tao nodded.

Soon, the food and drinks were served.

The three of them toasted each other, and the dinner ended very pleasantly.

After the drinking session ended, Jiang Tao was already a little drunk, while Jiang Meizhuang, who hadn't drunk much, was fine.

“Liang Ming, my brother is so drunk, I’m worried about him going home alone. I’ll personally take him so my sister-in-law won’t worry.”

Jiang Meizhuang paused here, then looked at Liang Ming with some concern and asked;

"Can you go back to Liangjia Village by yourself? If not, wait for me here. I'll take my brother back, and then I'll come back to take you."

"Then I'll stay here and wait for you to come back," Liang Ming said with a smile.

Actually, he only drank about half a jin of baijiu tonight.

This amount of wine is nothing to him.

However, since Jiang Meizhuang offered to take him back, he naturally wouldn't refuse.

After all, this is also an opportunity to get closer to his wife.

Although he is about to marry Jiang Meizhuang, it's definitely better to nurture feelings over time.

"Then wait for me to come back." Hearing Liang Ming's words, Jiang Meizhuang didn't think much of it, just said that, and then sent Jiang Tao back.

Liang Ming felt a bit stuffy in the private room, so he left and found a table in the lobby. He asked an employee to make him a pot of tea, intending to sit there and drink the tea to sober up.

It's lunchtime now, and the restaurant lobby is packed with people.

They were eating, discussing business, and chatting about their studies.

"It's been so long, and we still haven't received your university acceptance letter. Son, I think you're not going to be able to go to university. You should come with your dad and go into business!"

"No, I'm sure I can get into university. If I don't get in this year, I'll just repeat a year!"

Hearing the sounds coming from the dining table next to him, Liang Ming turned his head to look.

I saw a middle-aged man who looked like a boss trying to persuade his son.

However, judging from his son's reaction, it seems that this attempt at persuasion has failed.

The son's voice suddenly grew louder, attracting the attention of many other diners at the table.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man quickly bowed to the people around him and apologized. Then he said to his son, "Alright, alright, if you want to study for another year, Dad will support you. I've made some money from my business recently, so supporting your studies shouldn't be a problem."

Upon hearing his father's words, the son's face lit up with joy, and he immediately said:

"Really? Dad, that's wonderful."

Hearing his son's words, the middle-aged man smiled.

At this moment, the son said again, "But it's not the last time yet. I still have a chance. I applied to Liaoning University of Technology. It's far from us, so it's normal that the admission notices are sent out slowly."

"Yes, son, you're right."
