Chapter 1863 Eel

Although they are billionaires, the life of the Cheng family is very low-key and frugal. At least Yang Cheng does not often see these two people at various high-society parties and banquets.

Of course, this does not mean that the two lived in poverty. In fact, luxury goods are no different to ordinary brands for them. They will buy them occasionally, and even go back to worry about discounts like ordinary people, or simply wait until the annual sales. Purchasing spree.

As for whether they will miss out on the latest styles, it has never been a problem for them. Anyway, no one will think that they have no money because their clothes are out of date.

Why does Yang Cheng know so much? Because the simple style of these two people has become a role model for many Chinese families, he often hears people give examples of the couple's life outside.

For example, people who have dined with Cheng's family often say that Mr. Cheng usually eats every dish without leaving any sauce. If he really can't eat it, he will pack it up and take it home. waste.

After Yang Cheng met today, he found that it was similar to the rumors. Cheng Zhengchang was dressed very simply, a cheap suit, an ordinary belt watch, and it was the same style that has been used for decades. You would never recognize him if you threw it on the street. A billionaire.

After chatting with him for a while, Yang Cheng also discovered that Cheng Zhengchang seemed to have a very special ability. He had a chatting ability that was better than ordinary people. Even if they had just met and were not familiar with each other, they could pick up any topic from far and wide. Can talk.

If you don't know each other and see the two of them chatting so enthusiastically, you might think that they are old friends who have known each other for many years. In fact, they were introduced to each other just 5 minutes ago.

Yang Cheng really admired him. Just now, this guy actually talked to him about team operations, from basketball to football. Not to mention, his views were very reasonable. At least they didn't make people think they were just talking on paper. Some of them This suggestion, after careful consideration, is indeed applicable.

It's really amazing. In just a few minutes, Yang Cheng was impressed by the other person's personal charm. Well, the word impressed is a bit exaggerated, and 'appreciation' is more appropriate. Sure enough, this rich man didn't give him his name in vain. The shadow of the tree does have some ability.

In comparison, Mrs. Cheng Jiang Peiqi's personality is a bit aloof. Although she is very small, she is a strong woman with a strong aura. However, like Cheng Zhengchang, she does not like to show off, but for her husband's She has the absolute final veto power on any decision, whether it is public or private matters. This alone can prove what kind of woman she is.

For women, if you succeed in your career outside, no one may say anything good about you, but if you can hold your husband firmly in the palm of your hand, there will definitely be a lot of people praising you.

When Yang Cheng and Cheng Zhengchang were chatting,

Jiang Peiqi and Liu Yun were also chatting lively. Yang Cheng listened to a few words with his ears raised, and they probably talked about yoga.

I heard that the couple are both loyal fans of yoga. Yang Cheng didn't want to comment too much because it was their own hobbies.

But when he thought of the old man practicing yoga, he got goosebumps all over his body. The scene was too touching and he couldn't bear to watch it.

But why would such a couple, who had no connection with the family, suddenly visit?

Yang Cheng tried several times but couldn't find out why. Could it be that they were also here for a blind date?

This is by no means narcissistic. After all, he seems to have a family with three daughters, but they are all very old, right? At least it's much older than me, so it's inappropriate.

Obviously he was overthinking it. Yang Sen pulled everyone down and said, "Uncle Cheng, you are here this time for a new real estate project."

"Real estate project? Residential real estate?"

Yang Chengxin wondered: Is Panda also going to enter real estate?

Cheng Zhengchang said, “We are preparing to launch a relatively complex and special mixed-use real estate project in South Pasadena.”

Yang Cheng was puzzled, "Mixed use?"

"Yes, I acquired three adjacent buildings on a street for renovation and development. One of them is listed as a historic building in South Pasadena. According to the requirements, the two-story brick structure must be preserved and carried out. To reuse, the other two buildings could be razed and I plan to build a new three-story building.

When fully completed, the project will have 36 one- and two-bedroom apartments, 7,335 square feet of street-level commercial space and parking for 114 vehicles. "

After that, he pulled up the picture from the iPad and said, "This is the rendering I asked a design company to make~"

Yang Cheng saw that the renderings showed a contemporary low-rise building with a brick design and indentations on the upper floors of the building to create space for a platform.

The City of South Pasadena is currently conducting environmental studies for the proposed development, whose construction timeline has not yet been announced.

“In addition, we are also preparing to develop a similar apartment project nearby, so we must find a strong partner.

In comparison, the cooperation between us Chinese is not as close as that between other races. I think this project is a good opportunity for Yuanshan and Panda to join forces. "Cheng Zhengchang said.

Yang Cheng looked through it briefly and found that the renderings were not new. Similar buildings can be found everywhere in the United States. As for the multi-purpose buildings he mentioned, they were actually a combination of commercial and residential buildings, and there was nothing worth writing about. .

The key is that the other party wants to cooperate with Yuanshan. In fact, it is completely unnecessary. Even with everything in the plan, there is no need to cooperate with Yuanshan.

In fact, given the size of Yuanshan, this kind of work has always been optional, mainly because it does not lack the profit.

But since they came to the door, there was no reason to refuse, so he nodded and said, "I think it's no problem, we can cooperate~"

After saying that, he looked at his father in surprise. Logically speaking, there is no need to seek his consent for this matter, right?

Now Yuanshan is still under the control of my father. Even sending the person in charge of the subordinate real estate company is enough to make a decision. Why bring it home?

This doubt turned around in my mind and I figured it out. Just like those who are anxious to send a girl to their door, they are just looking for an opportunity to establish a relationship with their own family and take a ride. Looking at it this way, the couple did not imagine it. So 'simplicity', you still have to strive for what you should strive for.

"Let's talk about cooperation at the company another day, and we won't talk about official matters at home~" Yang Sen said this, which basically meant that the cooperation was finalized.

"That's right, let's talk about business at the company~" Cheng Zhengchang responded.

"I asked the butler to get some fresh ingredients. Let's have some drinks together tonight?"

“It couldn’t be better~”

Yang Cheng was curious, "What delicious food did you get?"

Yang Sen smirked, "RB River Eel, authentic~"

Yang Cheng's eyes widened, "Really? But now is not the season for eating eels, right?"

In RB, grilled eel is considered a representative summer delicacy.

Especially on the "Tu Yong Chou Day", which is the "ugly" day in the lunar calendar in the 18 days before the beginning of autumn in Z country, it is also a festival for all RB people to eat eels.

It stands to reason that when appetite decreases in the hot summer, you should eat light food. How to do the opposite?

In fact, it is precisely because people don’t like to eat eels in summer that the business of eel shops is very bleak at this time.

In order to boost business, an eel shop owner in the Edo period asked inventor Hiraga Genuchi to come up with an idea.

Gennai thought of an old proverb: "Eating food starting with U on an ugly day is particularly good for your health."

I don’t know where this proverb comes from, but the reason why it is said is because “U-Shi”, like pickled sour plums, udon noodles, melons and other summer foods, also start with U. .

The Japanese word for eel is Unagi, which coincides with the ancient proverb, so Gennai had an idea. Up to now, it is definitely a marketing plan that can be rated above 90 points.

In that era, it naturally had miraculous effects, and since then eating eels has become a repertoire of local festivals and summers.

But in Yang Cheng's view, eels only taste the fattest when they accumulate enough fat in autumn and winter. People's habit of eating eels in summer is just a matter of folk tradition.

According to the "Eel God" Kanemoto Kanejiro, the eels caught between September and October are the most delicious.

Because of this, Lin Jian was puzzled. Now is really not the time to eat eels. Of course, it doesn't mean that there are no eels to eat now, but food must be seasonal. Dad is also a foodie, so he shouldn't make such a stupid mistake. ?

In this regard, Yang Sen said, "I heard that this year's RB river eel production will reach a record low, maybe less than half of last year. Eat more while you have it now, otherwise you won't be able to eat it in September."

Cheng Zhengchang runs a restaurant, so the food is naturally delicious. When he heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, "Really? Then I should eat more~"

"Ha~ I've taken care of you enough. I've specially flown in 10 fresh eels, and invited a master chef from a Japanese restaurant to cook them on site. You guys are in for a treat today." Yang Sen couldn't hide his pride and said.

The only thing that can make him show this expression now is this difficult-to-get ingredient.

Yang Cheng couldn't help but have a picture in his mind. When his predecessor was studying, he would take Lin Qian to various Japanese restaurants in Los Angeles to improve the food every time he went on vacation. The must-order dish every time he went there was eel rice. .

That bowl of soft, glutinous, fragrant and oil-rich eel rice comes to mind. Just thinking about it will cause a series of reactions in the body, such as swallowing saliva.

However, Yang Cheng knows that after eating eel rice for so many years, no one can be called authentic. After all, eel rice at RB has extremely strict requirements, both in terms of the freshness of the eel and the level of craftsmanship.

As far as ingredients are concerned, a true bowl of eel rice must be made from RB’s river eels.

However, due to the high cost, more and more stores will choose conger eel as a substitute, especially in Los Angeles, which is far away from RB. However, in terms of quality and taste, conger eel cannot compare to river eel, which tastes very pungent. It is small and has no fishy smell, so it is most suitable for making kabayaki eel.
