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

"Don't talk nonsense, I only value your talent."

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming patted Qin Fang's head in an annoyed tone and said:

"Work with me, and I can make you a millionaire, even a hundred-thousand-yuan household, a millionaire!"

"Isn't it better to earn your own money than to ask a man for it?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Liang, I will definitely take care of finding a restaurant!"

After realizing that she had misunderstood Liang Ming, Qin Fang blushed and then said seriously.

"Alright, then I'll leave the shop to you."

After exchanging contact addresses, Liang Ming and Qin Fang said goodbye.

After leaving the county high school, Liang Ming went to the farmers' market and bought a lot of braising spices and bags to store them.

Then Liang Ming bought a medicine-making tool before returning to Liangjia Village.

Liang Ming planned to crush all the spices and put them into a spice bag to make a spice packet.

This makes it convenient whether you use it in a braised duck shop to make braised dishes, or open a seasoning factory in the future to sell braising spice packets separately.

"Finally done."

After a busy afternoon, looking at the bags of braising spices, Liang Ming sighed.

These spice packets are enough for a braising shop to use for several months.

Next, all Qin Fang needs to do is find a restaurant, do some simple renovations, and she can open for business.

"Honey, you bought way too much food. How are we going to finish it all?"

"It's rare for my son's friends to come over, so we must treat them well."

Just then, the sound of Liang Min and his wife talking could be heard outside the courtyard.

Li Lan walked in and saw that Liang Ming was alone in the yard. She immediately frowned.

"Son, why are you all alone?"

"Mom, it's not just me, who else could it be?"

Liang Ming had been working with the braising ingredients all afternoon and was a little dizzy at the moment. He didn't react immediately and asked instead.

"You brat, I told you to invite Boss Jiang over for dinner, and you tell me, where is he?"

Li Lan asked in an annoyed tone.

"Oh no, I've been preparing the braising ingredients for too long and forgot to pick up Sister Meizhuang!"

Liang Ming then realized what was happening and prepared to leave.

"Come back!" Li Lan grabbed Liang Ming and said.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Liang Ming asked, puzzled.

Li Lan pointed to Liang Ming's dirty clothes and face from handling the braising sauce, and said:

"Look at your clothes and face, so dirty. How can you expect other girls to be happy picking you up?"

"Quickly wash your face, change into clean clothes, and then go!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Ming realized his embarrassment and hurriedly went back to his house to change his clothes and wash his face before riding his old bicycle on the country road outside Liangjia Village.

Along both sides of the country road, there are many white and yellow wild chrysanthemums, as well as purple violets.

Liang Ming thought that a mature and sophisticated woman like Jiang Meizhuang would like it, so he picked some.

Since you've made up your mind to pursue Jiang Meizhuang, there's no need to be coy.

Sending flowers is a very romantic gesture in this day and age.

Talking about romance with mature older women and discussing the future with younger girls is a love law summarized by the later Douyin (TikTok) founder.

……

Twenty minutes later, Liang Ming arrived in front of the Xiangmanlou Restaurant.

At this moment, Jiang Meizhuang had changed into a light yellow dress, which made her figure look very graceful and slender, with an elegant and melancholic temperament.

"I'm sorry, Sister Meizhuang, I'm late," Liang Ming said apologetically.

"Brother Liang Ming, why are you so late? Did something happen on the way?"

Upon seeing Liang Ming, Jiang Meizhuang's beautiful eyes brightened slightly, and she asked softly.

Upon hearing Jiang Meizhuang's words, Liang Ming's expression changed slightly, but he felt as if he were bathed in a spring breeze.

"So this is the charm of a well-mannered, knowledgeable, and understanding older sister?"

If it were a capricious woman like Song Mei, seeing that I was late, she would probably immediately scold me: "Why are you so late? Don't you know I've been waiting for you for a long time?"

Jiang Meizhuang, on the other hand, was worried that her good younger brother might have encountered some trouble on the road.

Liang Ming naturally couldn't admit that he had lost track of time because he was fiddling with the spice packet.

He took out the wild chrysanthemums and violets he had hidden behind his back and handed them to Jiang Meizhuang:

“Sister Meizhuang, on my way here I saw some very beautiful wildflowers.”

"I couldn't resist picking some to give to you, which is why I was a little late."

When Jiang Meizhuang saw the wildflowers that Liang Ming had brought, besides wild chrysanthemums and violets, there were also foxtail grasses.

The design was exquisite, clearly meticulously crafted, and she couldn't help but feel delighted.

"Brother Liang Ming, thank you for the flowers, I really like them."

After accepting the flowers, Jiang Meizhuang smiled and said:

"This is the first time I've received flowers from someone of the opposite sex. Thank you for giving me such a unique memory."

Hearing Jiang Meizhuang's gentle and virtuous words, Liang Ming couldn't help but smile.

Being with Jiang Meizhuang always brings a sense of joy and well-being.

"Can I sit on the back of your bike? I'm wearing a skirt today, so it's not very convenient for me to ride."

At this moment, Jiang Meizhuang spoke again, addressing Liang Ming.

"Of course, no problem. The roads in our village are difficult to travel. We can't let a young girl like you ride a bike and have to endure all that bumps."

Liang Ming said.

Jiang Meizhuang immediately sat sideways on the back of Liang Ming's bicycle.

Holding flowers in one hand and with her other arm around Liang Ming's waist, she said, "Little brother Liang Ming, you don't mind me putting my arm around you, do you?"

Seeing Jiang Meizhuang's actions, Liang Ming's face showed excitement, and he quickly said, "No, I don't mind."

You should know that in this era, there is a crime of hooliganism.

Ordinary men and women should not get too close.

In this era, simple gestures like holding hands or kissing between lovers in later generations could be considered hooliganism and lead to imprisonment.

Although by the mid-80s, the definition of hooliganism was no longer so strict.

But intimate gestures like holding hands or putting your arm around someone's waist are only something couples can do.

When a girl is willing to put her arm around a boy's waist, it means that she also acknowledges that she has feelings for him.

At this point, if the man puts in a little more effort, the relationship between the two will naturally progress.

"Liang Ming, you're not thinking about anything naughty, are you?"

Seeing Liang Ming's excited expression, Jiang Meizhuang teased him.

"No, no," Liang Ming hurriedly replied.

“Let’s go then. I’d like to try your aunt’s cooking again,” Jiang Meizhuang said.

Liang Ming nodded in agreement, then rode his bicycle back to the village with Jiang Meizhuang on his back.

Walking along the country road in Liangjia Village, many villagers noticed the pretty girl behind Liang Ming and were quite curious.

"Xiaoming, is this your new boyfriend?"

"This girl is really beautiful. Xiaoming, you're so lucky."

Liang Ming's smile stretched almost to the back of his ears.

Along the way, Liang Ming greeted the villagers around him, but he didn't explain his relationship with Jiang Meizhuang.

"Brother Liang Ming, you're taking advantage of me!"

When they were alone, Jiang Meizhuang gently pinched Liang Ming's waist and said coquettishly.

hiss!

Liang Ming gasped in pain, but he was secretly overjoyed.

Jiang Meizhuang didn't get angry and turn away because of this sweet misunderstanding, which means she has feelings for him...
