Chapter 509 The biggest tragedy in 1988(2/3)

"

Hearing this, Lin Haiyin and his wife could not help but feel a little more hopeful.

Today, the Tao Yushu sisters went to work, and the two younger ones at home have also gone to kindergarten. The nanny Adi is still there. Lin Chaoyang specially asked her to buy some ingredients early in the morning.

She wanted to help with the cooking, but was only assigned to wash the dishes.

The kitchen in Jiahuiyuan was designed with full consideration of the Xiangjiang people's eating habits of combining Chinese and Western food. It can cook both Chinese and Western food.

Lin Chaoyang stood in the spacious kitchen, as if he had an aura of his own.

When northerners eat noodles, making noodles is the first step.

The snow-white flour was left in the basin, a little salt and egg liquid were added, and then warm water was added. Lin Chaoyang stirred with chopsticks while feeling the amount of water.

When he felt that the ratio of water to flour was just right and the flour became flocculent, he put down his chopsticks, held the basin with one hand, and kneaded the dough with the other hand, with a soothing and harmonious rhythm.

The texture of the flour after being lumped into a ball will be slightly dry and hard, which will make the noodles more chewy.

After resting for half an hour, the dough became soft and elastic. Lin Chaoyang began to roll and cut the dough.

Lin Haiyin, his wife and Dong Qiao watched with great interest. The hard work of cooking seemed to become a kind of enjoyment under Lin Chaoyang's hands.

It is a kind of enjoyment not only for the cook, but also for the viewers.

The noodles and the sauce were cooked at the same time. When Lin Chaoyang saw the water in the noodle pot gurgling, he first picked a few noodles and put them into the pot.

On the other side, the fire was slightly blue. He first stir-fried the diced pork belly to produce oil, then added minced ginger and star anise and stir-fried until fragrant.

Then pour the mixed dry yellow sauce and sweet noodle sauce into the pot in batches. Be sure to stir-fry the sauce until it becomes fragrant, shiny and sticky after each addition, until the fried sauce is fragrant and fragrant.

The smell made several people standing by the kitchen move their index fingers and their eyes shine.

The fried sauce was fried and the noodles were cooked. Lin Chaoyang poured water according to his personal taste. Considering the age of Lin Haiyin and his wife, the noodles were still warm after being soaked.

After doing this, Lin Chaoyang's forehead was sweating slightly, and he smiled at the three of them and said:

"Mediocre food, a few Haihan!"

Although the fried noodles are simple, they are cooked by the owner Lin Chaoyang himself, not to mention that this is the taste that Lin Haiyin and Xia Chengying have dreamed of for many years.

While they were chatting and joking, they each filled their bowls with noodles, spread fried sauce on their bowls, and added dishes.

Gently stirring with chopsticks, the aroma of fried sauce overflowed, and at the same time, the aroma of noodles and vegetables was stimulated. The compound smell penetrated directly into people's noses, instantly arousing the greed in the stomachs of everyone present.

"Try it, you two, and see if it tastes like the old Yanjing?"

Under Lin Chaoyang's urging, Lin Haiyin and his wife took the noodles to their mouths. The noodles were wrapped in brown meat sauce, glistening with oil, attractive in color and fragrant in fragrance.

The mouth is strong and elastic, and the salty aroma is delicious, which instantly conquered the taste buds of both people.

"That's what it tastes like!"

Lin Haiyin only said this happily, and then stopped talking. The only sound in the restaurant was the sound of noodles being sucked into his mouth.

Within a few minutes, everyone's bowls of noodles were all gone, and they couldn't help but grab a bowl each.

After finishing two bowls of noodles with soybean paste, Lin Haiyin and his wife did not dare to eat any more. They were over seventy years old and their digestion ability was far inferior to that of young people.

I can only watch Lin Chaoyang and Dong Qiao's mukbang eagerly, with eyes full of salivation.

"After all these years, I finally got a taste of Yanjing again." Lin Haiyin said with emotion, his face full of nostalgia, and he was satisfied that more of his long-cherished wishes had been fulfilled.

"Now that cross-strait relations have eased, if you two have time, you might as well go back to the mainland for a visit." Lin Chaoyang suggested.

Lin Haiyin nodded, "I will definitely do it."

After lunch, Lin Haiyin spontaneously chatted about the writers of the new era that had emerged after the humanitarian flood that she had begun to pay attention to in the past two years.

When talking about the literary craze in mainland China in recent years, Lin Haiyin cannot hide his envy.

Her own literary name is not unknown. She founded the Pure Literature Magazine and later the Pure Literature Publishing House. She discovered and cultivated quite a number of Bay Island writers. She has a high status in the Bay Island literary circles and has a certain attitude towards the development of Bay Island literature.

A natural sense of mission.

Lin Chaoyang's views on the literary craze of the 1980s are consistent and have never changed. This is just an explosion after a long period of suppression and is not the norm.

The decline in sales of literary magazines in the past year or two also supports his point of view.

Listening to Lin Chaoyang's point of view, Lin Haiyin felt that it made sense.

Following this topic, they talked about the literature of the seventeen years after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Lin Haiyin is very familiar with these famous writers who became famous before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and some writers who became famous after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Because of cross-strait relations, they are not familiar with each other, and she is not familiar with them.

"Shen Congwen is such a pity——"

Talking about those old writers, Lin Haiyin felt sorry for Shen Congwen. The old comrade passed away just two months ago.

In the 1960s, Lin Haiyin took a risk and published Shen Congwen's works on the Bay Island. Shen Congwen was one of the rare well-known writers who was not favored by officials on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

"Mr. Shen Congwen's evaluation in the domestic literary circle has improved a lot in recent years. In the end, literary history will give him a fair evaluation." Lin Chaoyang said in a low tone.

At the end of the chat, Lin Haiyin finally mentioned the introduction of Lin Chaoyang's works, and the two parties quickly reached a consensus.

"The Crossing Boat" is the first Lin Chaoyang work to be introduced to the Bay Island.

Afterwards, the Pure Literature Publishing House run by Lin Haiyin will continue to introduce many works such as "The Death of Van Gogh", "Shutter Island", "Entertainment", "The Truman Show", etc.

In fact, Lin Haiyin's idea was to publish a collection of Lin Chaoyang's works, but considering that it was the first time that Lin Chaoyang's works entered the Bay Island market, he chose a conservative approach.

After briefly talking about the introduction and publication of the novel, Lin Haiyin and his wife said goodbye and left.

In the blink of an eye, it was the last weekend of July. Maggie Cheung, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared in Jiahui Garden. As soon as she entered the door, everyone could feel her joy.

After asking carefully, it turned out that Cathay City's stock price, which had been held for almost a year, had finally returned to its peak.

But at this time, the problem arises again. The stock price has finally come back. Should I sell or keep the stocks in my hand?

Guhai Mingdeng·Zhang fell into a dilemma again. He took Tao Yumo to discuss for a long time and felt that he should ask the "stock god" for his opinion.

Facing her question, Lin Chaoyang shook his head firmly. He would not give this idea.

If you sell it, what should you do if it goes up? If you keep it, what should you do if it goes down?

Not getting the answer she wanted, Maggie Cheung was extremely entangled. After much thought, she decided to sell.

"The current share price of Cathay City is a bit too high and there are risks. I have to change to a safer stock."

The "safer stock" she calls is Yulang Institution. Since becoming a director of Yulang Institution last year, Maggie Cheung plans to buy Yulang Institution's stocks.

Unfortunately, she had been short of money in those two months. In the past six months, she had made a lot of money. By selling Cathay City's stocks, she could raise about 1.2 million, and planned to use the money to invest in Yulang Institution.

Tao Yumo listened to her thoughts, his face wrinkled like the old lady's heels.

"The stock price of Yulang Institution has doubled from the beginning of the year to now. You should have stopped buying it."

"I have no money!"

"If you sell Cathay City's stocks and buy Yulang Institution, the money will rise and you will still make money."

Maggie Cheung shook her head, "Didn't I lose money if I sold it? Look, isn't it back up now?"

Tao Yumo stared at her blankly, and finally covered his head and had nothing to say.

Tao Yushu reminded: "You are now a director of the company. You can buy stocks, but you cannot do short-term trading, otherwise it will be illegal."

"It doesn't matter. I have confidence in you, Sister Yu Shu, and you will support your own people!"

Zhang · Chives · Silly Daring · Manyu said this.

Tao Yumo muttered to himself: "If you want to buy it, why don't you buy it earlier? The stock price has risen by 60% in a week, and you are just thinking about getting on the bus. If you don't lose money, who will lose money!"

Since the issuance of additional shares, the stock price of Yulang Institution has been rising. Although the stock price has fluctuated slightly this week, it has overall led the Hang Seng Index to rise.

It has also become one of the few listed companies that is expected to recover its peak stock price within this year since the 1987 stock market crash.

Tao Yumo’s complaints are also reasonable.

The summer season in July and August is one of the most popular periods in Hong Kong every year. In August this year, two powerful films in the Hong Kong film industry will meet on a narrow road.

One is "Police Story Continues" produced by Weihe Films, and the other is "The Gambler" produced by Classic Pictures.

According to the production companies of these two films, they are not considered big companies.

But in fact, Weihe Film and Television is a film company established by Cheng Long with the support of Jiahe, and Classic Pictures is one of the satellite companies of Lin's Pictures.

This summer vacation seems to be a competition between films produced by two small companies, but in fact it is a tit-for-tat confrontation between the two giants of Hong Kong film.

When New Art City was caught in internal strife and unable to succeed, the Hong Kong film industry finally ushered in the era of two heroes competing for hegemony.

People in the film industry see competition in the industry, but ordinary citizens and audiences in Xiangjiang see the peak showdown between Cheng Long, the kung fu superstar, and Stephen Chow, the new generation comedy king.

Since this year, when it comes to who is the most popular in the Hong Kong film industry, Stephen Chow ranks second and no one dares to say that he ranks first.

One "Lucky Star" and the other "The Gambler" grossed 60 million Hong Kong dollars at the local box office. As the leading actor, Stephen Chow became famous.

His unique "nonsensical" acting style is unique in the Hong Kong film industry and has become his exclusive style.

"Police Story Continuation" premiered on August 2, and "The Gambler" was released on the same day. The meaning of targeting each other is self-evident, and the smell of gunpowder is high.

Such a tough schedule conflict also occurred a few years ago when Jiahe and Xinyi City were competing for supremacy. However, after it lasted for two years, everyone found that doing so was more likely to hurt both sides. Later, there was a tacit understanding and the confrontation was reduced.
