    After staying in New York for three days and waiting for the Christmas sales figures for Cabbage Patch Dolls and video games to be released, Shen Chong took Li Kaiyuan and his sisters and drove to Boston to meet his uncle.  This Christmas, it can be said that it was a great success and a lot of money was made. In just one week, 100,000 Cabbage Patch dolls were sold out and sold for 30 US dollars. They even fetched 150 US dollars on the black market.  A diamond doll worth 100,000 US dollars built by Shen Chong to satisfy his bad taste was also bought by a rich woman at a high price of 380,000 The sales volume of "Pac-Man" and "Tank Battle" both exceeded  1 million units, while "Tetris", which was launched a few months ago, successfully exceeded 2 million units. You must know that the total number of Atari VP consoles in the entire North American market at this time is only over 00,000 units -  ¡ªThere are more than one million units among them, which were sold after the release of "Tetris".  Also selling well is the Apple 11. As the second largest shareholder, Shen Chong got the sales data immediately - after acquiring vt, the sales of the Apple 11 skyrocketed, and during the Christmas period, it was actually sold out  Fifty thousand units of Apple 11, while the previous monthly highest sales volume was just over 20,000 units. This booming situation is very beneficial to Shen Chong. When the stock is listed next year, the price should be higher than in history After Christmas  , Shen Chong's phrase "the tail of software shakes the dog of hardware" has become a household name and has become the most popular line in the computer industry.  "Come, come, Yuanyuan, let's eat some food." Zhao Anping greeted enthusiastically: "This is my best dish, fried in oil and double crispy, authentic Shandong cuisine." "I'll eat it again." Li Kaiyuan said.  Holding the bowl, he said: "I haven't stopped talking, it's so delicious." Shen Chong spent some time in Qingdao in his previous life and ate all the local delicacies. He is quite familiar with Shandong cuisine. The fried double crispy oil is the most famous of Shandong cuisine.  One of the specialties, it uses chicken gizzards and pork belly as raw materials. It has extremely strict requirements on the heat. If it takes less than one second, it will not be cooked, and if it exceeds one second, it will not be crispy. It is one of the most difficult dishes to make in Chinese food. He picked up  Put a piece of chicken gizzard in your mouth, chew it carefully, and after tasting it, give a thumbs up and praise: "Uncle, good craftsmanship, crispy, tender and smooth, fresh and refreshing, the heat is just right, the level of a master." "You.  You, like Lily, are both foodies." Zhao Anping took off his apron, sat on the table, and said with a smile: "But you are good, you can taste the quality of my cooking, you are better than Lily, and you are worthy of being from Shandong.  Descendants. " "It would be great if Lily was at home." Aunt Jian au looks like a traditional Chinese wife and mother. She said in slightly weird but very fluent Cantonese: "Lily has a cheerful personality.  She was worried about Brigitte Lin and insisted on staying in Los Angeles, so she did not return to the East Coast with Shen Chong.  "I'll cook it for her during the Spring Festival." Zhao Anping rubbed his hands. He turned to look at Li Kaiyuan and sighed: "Oh, in the blink of an eye, it has been more than 20 years. When I left Hong Kong,  At that time, you were just over a year old and had just learned to walk. Look, you are now a big girl. " "Yes, you were very cute when you were a child." Jane also said to Li Kaiyuan: "I hugged you and took pictures of you.  "Really?" Shen Chong said, interested, "Is it still there, but I don't remember where it is?" Jane thought for a moment and said, "Wait.  I will go to the basement to look for you." Tianbao raised his hands and said, "I want to see it too." "You are the only one who has a lot of troubles." Li Kaiyuan glared at her and said a little shyly, "I don't even remember my uncle back then."  "How can a baby who is only ten months old remember what happened at that time?" Zhao Anping said with a smile: "You two are very good together, a good match, a female junior, holding a gold brick."  "Ah Chong is today because of your blessing." "Uncle Gao Jian." Shen Chong followed his words and said, "When Yuan Yuan was born, he was surrounded by colorful auspicious clouds. He was born with a prosperous life. In ancient times,  , If I marry her, I can be the emperor. Now that there is no emperor, I have to be a rich man. " Zhao Anping laughed when he heard this. Li Kaiyuan was a little shy. She lowered her head and pulled Shen Chong's hand from under the table.  After dinner, Jane took sisters Li Kaiyuan to look for old photos, while Shen Chong was in the kitchen, helping Zhao Anping clear the dishes.  "Have you booked your flight ticket back to Hong Kong during the Spring Festival?" "It has been booked a long time ago." Zhao Anping put the plate into the sink and said, "The month number is the flight on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month." "Okay, I will pick it up then.  "You guys." Shen Chong wiped the dining table and said, "Uncle, what does aunt say about returning to Hong Kong to settle down?" "She likes Hong Kong very much. It's no problem." Zhao Anping said while washing the dishes quickly.  But Lily won¡¯t graduate until two years later, so we want to wait a little longer and then go back together as a family. ¡°That¡¯s fine.  "A Chong, I heard from Lily that you lent your villa in Los Angeles to a Taiwanese female star to live in, right?"   Lily, the gossip, Shen Chong tapped his forehead with his finger, separated himself, and said: "Her name is Brigitte Lin, she is an alumnus of Teresa Teng and a good friend. Something happened in Taiwan, so she came to the United States to relax.  The villa is empty anyway, so I asked Lily to stay with her temporarily. "What happened to her?" Zhao Anping picked up Yu Jing's dish, put it in the cabinet, and asked, "It's bullshit like a fake passport."  "It's not a matter of love," Shen Chong said casually, "I don't know the details. Anyway, it's something like a heartless man or a lover." Zhao Anping said, "Since it is.  Teresa Teng's friend, Lily should spend more time with her. ""Uncle, I heard that on your birthday in July, Lily specially brought Teresa Teng back to Boston to sing happy birthday to you." Shen Chong said with a smile.  So, do you sing well?" Zhao Anping took off his plastic gloves and said with a smile: "That girl, Teresa Teng is a big singer, and she actually tricked her into singing happy birthday to me. It's just nonsense." "Uncle, you are just fooling around.  She is a fan of Teresa Teng and plays her songs in the restaurant every day." Shen Chong saw his pride and laughed loudly and said, "Now you are in Chinatown, and you have a big face. The big singer is singing happy birthday to you on the spot.  "The smile on Zhao Anping's lips could no longer be suppressed. He smiled like a flower and said, "I'm already past the age of growing a face, but Lily is so thoughtful. I have a good daughter and I will have no regrets in my life." Shen  Chong knew that he was a more traditional Chinese man and cared about the inheritance of incense, so he said: "Boys and girls, aren't they all the same? They are all of their own kind." Zhao Anping was silent, just nodded, he looked outside the door and whispered softly  Asked: "I heard that Yuanyuan was injured before, does it matter?" "It doesn't matter." Shen Chong said, "We went to the best hospital in New York for a checkup the day before yesterday. We can have a baby, but it's just a little troublesome." "Then.  That's good." Zhao Anping patted him on the shoulder and said, "My sister only has a child like you. Regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl, you have to have a baby." "I know," Shen Chong didn't want to talk about this topic.  He asked: "Uncle, how did you feel when you went back to your hometown last time?" "It's hard to say." Zhao Anping shook his head and said: "My hometown in Shandong has changed a lot. It is completely different from what I remembered when I was a child. But fortunately, the ancestral hall  It is still there, and the ancestral grave is in good condition. I donated money to ask the village to help renovate it. " "Is your master still there?" "It has been more than ten years since his death." Zhao Anping opened the refrigerator and took out two cans.  Beer, said: "It is said that he was criticized to death because he served as a soldier under Zhang Zongchang. Alas, those years were really messy." Shen Chong took the beer, held it in his hand, and asked: "Are there any local martial arts practitioners?"  ?  " "Yes, there are, but they are all three-legged cats, and they are not as good as me if they practice fake poses blindly.  Zhao Anping took a sip of beer and said: "Master was in the Northeast and followed Sun Lutang to learn authentic Tai Chi. It's a pity that I was young and impetuous at that time. I only learned a little bit and ran to Hong Kong. What a pity.  , I can¡¯t learn it now even if I want to.  " "When you were learning martial arts, didn't you have any brothers or anything like that?  " "Yes, yes.  Zhao Anping held the beer can and said, "I remember there were more than ten people, both men and women. However, the situation was very chaotic at that time. Everyone was begging for food all over the world. I don't know where they dispersed."  When I returned to my hometown this time, I didn¡¯t see anyone.  " "Uncle, you think those Kung Fu masters from the Republic of China are still alive, right?  " "That's for sure. Practicing martial arts can strengthen the body. It's not a lie. As long as you don't encounter natural or man-made disasters, you can live to be eighty or ninety years old, and there will be no problem at all.  "Zhao Anping looked at him and asked: "Why are you asking about this? Even if they are alive, they are too old.  " "I plan to make a few kung fu movies and want to find some masters with real kung fu.  Shen Chong opened the can and said, "Uncle, you are a practicing master and have good eyesight. Unlike me, you are easily fooled by people's pretensions."  " "If you want to find someone who can practice martial arts, go to the mainland martial arts schools.  "Zhao Anping said: "I have a friend who sent her son to a martial arts school in Beijing last year to learn martial arts. Last time I went to Beijing, I went to see him. There were many people in that school who were good at martial arts.  " Shen Chong said oh, quite surprised, Donnie Yen actually has some relationship with Zhao Anping? But Donnie Yen was only sixteen or seventeen years old at this time, an adolescent boy, and did not need special attention, so Shen Chong didn't pay much attention, he said:  ¡°All martial arts schools practice routines, right?  It's too fancy. I want to find some masters who are hard at work and specialize in a certain kung fu.  " "That's difficult.  Zhao Anping raised his head and drank the beer, and then said: "Nowadays, the society is peaceful, and there are guns and knives. Kung Fu has no place to use it. There are very few people who can concentrate on practicing one Kung Fu well."  " "Fewer is less, but there is always some.  Shen Chong heard footsteps coming from the stairs, so he stood up and said, "Uncle, ifIf you see someone suitable, please let me know.  " Zhao Anping nodded, threw the beer can into the trash can, and said: "Let's go and look at the photos. I not only have photos of Yuanyuan, but I also saved a lot of them when you were a child.  ¡± Note the sales data, based on the historical sales of Cabbage Patch Dolls, Atari consoles, and Apple 11. Note Zhao Anping¡¯s kung fu background, which has a slight conflict with the previous setting, does not affect the plot, please ignore it  ¡­
