Chapter 1801: Too Much Dividend?
"What is this? Rice noodles? Pad Thai? Do you want to try it?"
For foreigners, those who like Thai food will love it extremely much, and those who don’t like it will feel uncomfortable even if they look at it.
As for the Thai fried rice noodles, children who have traveled to Thailand should be familiar with it, that is - "Pad Thai", which is similar to GD's fried rice noodles. It combines rice noodles, eggs, leek leaves, bean sprouts, dried radish, tofu, roasted Peanuts, dried shrimps, peppers, and sugar are stir-fried together. When eating, you can add lemon juice, raw leek leaves, raw bean sprouts, or banana flowers. The taste is very unique. It lacks the fire flavor of GD Ushikawa and has a little more flavor. The refreshing taste of the tropics.
As a well-known traditional street food in Thailand, it has been praised by tourists from all over the world. It is basically one of the must-eat food in Thailand. I did not expect that such authentic fried rice noodles are also made on the streets of Portland.
Yang Cheng and Luo Yue couldn't help but stop, and when the people in front finished ordering, they also ordered two portions of fried rice noodles.
Of course, when it comes to authenticity, it is definitely not as authentic as what you eat in Thailand. After all, Portland is for Americans. These Americans have very picky appetites, so improvements are inevitable.
According to the boss, he stayed in Bangkok for a few years, and after he came back, he set up a food truck to make rice noodles. At first, it was relatively simple and the original Thai style was not accepted by most Americans.
So he improved the rice noodles. Not to mention, after this change, the business began to pick up and gradually became popular.
In fact, the so-called improvement is nothing more than increasing the types of vermicelli. In addition to the traditional wide-border rice noodles, there are also thin vermicelli, mom noodles, and lasagna. The meats that can be paired with it include pork, chicken, beef, and seafood.
In total, more than 10 and close to 20 kinds of fried rice noodles can be made, in addition to Thai basil leaf fried rice noodles. This leads to a food truck that specializes in Thai fried rice noodles. Its menu has as many as 30 kinds. , is definitely the perfect embodiment of Portland’s street craftsman spirit.
Although the process and ingredients of fried noodles are different, the difference is only the type of noodles and meat, but after tasting it slowly, the feeling of fried noodles with different combinations of noodles and meat is indeed different.
After Yang Cheng tasted the traditional classic flavor - fried rice noodles with seafood, his appetite was aroused by fresh lemon juice, and he ordered fettuccine, but he specifically requested to add Thai basil leaves, which originally had a lighter taste. , but the noodles are clearly defined and tough, and the pasta immediately transforms into a strong original Thai delicacy. After all, basil leaves are one of the unique spices in Southeast Asia. When paired with strong chili peppers, most people really can't accept it.
Luo Yue has a small appetite. After eating one portion of fried vermicelli, she stopped eating. The main thing was to save her appetite.
After all, there are so many food trucks here, it would be a shame to only eat one.
After eating the fried noodles, my mouth felt a little dry. The food truck next to me happened to be selling freshly brewed beer. I had to have a glass. It is worth mentioning that Portland is also a mecca for craft beer.
However, there is a unique local name - small brewery beer, which refers specifically to breweries that produce small quantities of beer.
The small brewery beer culture was born 40 years ago. After becoming popular in Portland, it gradually spread to the United States and even the world. There is no doubt that Portlanders are also the most fond of craft beer. The locals especially like beers with lots of hops. , the taste is relatively bitter, but the aftertaste is very sweet, making it very refreshing to drink.
The two of them had a glass of beer each and wandered in front of the dining car while eating. In the end, the two of them ordered small portions just to try different foods and avoid being full at once.
As I walked, I unknowingly came to Portland’s Chinatown. It used to be the most chaotic area, but now it gives people a very good impression. At least compared to Chinatowns in other cities, the streets are tidier, and the facilities and buildings are cleaner. Things like that are also very new.
There is also an SZ garden-style garden inside, which is divided into five scenic spots. The layout is free, flexible, tortuous, and has rich spatial levels.
The central lake area is dominated by waterscapes, with rippling waves, clear water, and full of poetic charm.
The garden pays attention to the creation of landscape artistic conception and the creation of an artistic atmosphere that blends scenes. It has planned and designed scenic spots such as Fragrance in the Clear Distance, Sound of Fragrant Cold Spring, Wing Pavilion Locking the Moon, Willow Waves and Sail, Ten Thousand Valleys in the Clouds, and Huanhua Spring Rain, which are definitely rare in the United States. See.
After visiting the garden, Yang Cheng and the others set off for the airport, preparing to return to New York for Christmas.
. . .
When the plane landed in New York, it was already late at night. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and the whole city is filled with a strong festive atmosphere. It’s just that it’s a bit cold. No, it’s too cold. From the warm Portland to New York seemed to have gone from the tropics to the North Pole in one day, and it was so cold that my bones were trembling.
Fortunately, there was an emergency cotton jacket in the car, and when he turned on the heater, it was finally not that cold. Yang Cheng couldn't help but muttered, "This damn weather~"
Andrew was driving in front at a very slow speed. There happened to be a snowplow truck working, and he couldn't pass it, so he had to find a way around it.
This heavy snowfall is really timely. It’s Christmas, and something seems to be missing without snow.
In the back row, Luo Yue suddenly asked Yang Cheng, "It's already 2017, and you still haven't told me the time of marriage? Do you want to sell it to the last minute?"
"You forgot, the island is still under reconstruction, we have to wait until the middle of the year~" Yang Cheng looked calm on the surface, but was panicking in his heart. It was not a pleasant feeling to be forced into marriage by his fiancée.
Especially Luo Yue's big eyes that looked pitiful but full of intimidation scared Yang Cheng so much that he didn't even dare to look at her.
"Hmph~ I knew you were going to say that. Forget it, I don't care. Anyway, just don't let me put on a wedding dress and go to the wedding venue. I promise I will beat you to death~"
Yang Cheng said flatteringly, "Don't worry, absolutely not. How could I do such an unreliable thing?"
That's what he said, but he really thought about doing this. According to his original idea, he just wanted to make all preparations and pull Luo Yue onto the plane in his sleep. On the plane, the styling team would dress her up. The most beautiful bride in the world played the wedding march as soon as she landed. Thinking of Luo Yue's confused expression made him want to laugh. No one could pull off such a prank.
But not long after this idea arose, he was dismissed by himself. He had no choice but to be cowardly. When he thought of the possible revenge consequences after Luo Yue made a fool of himself due to various uncontrollable circumstances, Yang Cheng shuddered. For the sake of his own The lower half of the body is happy. This kind of prank plot should be left to Hollywood. It can't be played in reality.
With Luo Yan's understanding of Yang Orange now, seeing his eyes that he dare not look at, he knows that he guessed the eight or nine. He shouted at the soft meat between Yang Orange waist and was not angry. Still sour and refreshing.
After returning home, there was a good show of a friendly relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. While eating supper, Yang Sen asked, "Is Delta Airlines' dividend this year too much?"
Liu Yun has always had a bad look on Yang Sen's habit of asking about work as soon as he saw his son. If it weren't for the sake of his daughter-in-law, he would have started to argue with him.
Even so, there were eye rolls one after another, and Yang Sen pretended not to notice.
Yang Cheng snickered and replied seriously, "More? Has anyone given any advice?"
Yang Sen was helpless, "What do you think?"
"Those guys on the board of directors?"
"Otherwise, who else could it be~"
"These idiots only care about immediate interests~" Yang Cheng became angry when he mentioned Yuanshan's board of directors.
"So I'm asking you as a matter of routine. If you have time, you'd better explain it to them in person~"
Yang Cheng frowned, "Is this necessary? Besides, the dividends are high and they can also drink the soup. What's there to be dissatisfied about?"
Yang Sen snorted coldly, "It's a beautiful name, more funds should be reserved for operations. They seem to be planning to use Delta Airlines' cash reserves as their own bank, which they can use as they please."
It turned out that this was the idea, Yang Cheng frowned, "Are they thinking too much? Don't say that we are just the major shareholders. Even if we obtain the controlling stake, we cannot arbitrarily withdraw funds from the listed company!"
"Don't they do this kind of thing often?"
Yang Sen's soul torture directly hit Yang Cheng's soul. Yes, isn't this the truest side of Wall Street?
"Then how should I explain? Do you want to prepare a PPT?"
"That's not true, but as Yuan Shan's board representative in Delta Airlines, since the board of directors has raised questions, you'd better give an answer."
"I understand, when?"
"It depends on your time, I am only responsible for delivering messages~"
"OK, then tomorrow~"
Liu Yun couldn't help but interjected, "Tomorrow is Christmas Eve~"
Yang Cheng sneered, "They won't let me have an easy time, but they still want to spend Christmas Eve in peace? Stop dreaming~"
Liu Yun rolled her eyes again, "Let you two do whatever you want, Yueyue and I will go shopping tomorrow~"
With a smile on his face, Yang Cheng presented a bank card. He was joking, his mother and his wife were going shopping, and they had already made it clear, so he still had to give him a bank card? This is the most important foundation for family harmony.
Sure enough, with the blessing of the bank card, my mother's energy and blood suddenly became normal, she no longer rolled her eyes, her waist was no longer sore, her legs no longer hurt, and she looked several years younger.
Liu Yun held the bank card in her hand and weighed it a few times, "Not bad, you're sensible. What's the limit?"
Yang Cheng waved his hand, "No quota, just spend whatever you want~"
Liu Yun looked like she was counting on you, which made Luo Yue smile.
However, she spoke in a disgraceful way about her husband, "My son is still sensible. Look what kind of husband I married. He only wants to be angry with me all day long and does nothing."
Yang Sen realized that his life was in serious danger, and immediately patted his chest and said, "I will pick you up all the way tomorrow and be your driver~"
"Aren't you allowed to hold a board meeting?"
"The board of directors can just let Yang Cheng go by himself. He's such an adult and doesn't need me to take care of him~"
After saying that, he gave Yang Cheng a look that was asking for blessings.
Yang Cheng was speechless. As expected, he was kissing me, and he showed no mercy when talking about his son.
