Chapter 251: A Classic That Shocked the World

It has been a week since the natural phenomenon occurred in Hai Thanh province.

In the past week, Liu Shitahui's scarf fans have skyrocketed from tens of thousands to more than 10 million, becoming one of the celebrities with the most scarf fans, which makes those big stars envious.

And the growth rate of this fan has also created a record for the increase in fans around the neck.

In a few days, the number of fans has skyrocketed by more than 10 million, and if it is replaced by a big star or grassroots, it will definitely attract I don't know how much gossip and how much jealousy it will arouse.

But this happened to Liu Shita Hui, but there was only envy and no one was jealous.

There are two main reasons for this:

The first is the identity of Liu Shita Hui, who is neither a grassroots celebrity nor a big star who relies on fans to eat, but a very successful entrepreneur. is like an entrepreneur of Mr. Ma's level, even if he has 100 million or even a billion fans around his neck, who will be jealous of him?

The second is that the reason for the surge in fans this time is a natural phenomenon that broke out in Haiqing Province, and the efforts made by Yanagi Hui in it have spared many compatriots.

At the same time, after the outbreak of natural disasters, they also contributed money and efforts to support the compatriots in the disaster area, as long as the three views are normal, it is impossible for people to be jealous of this kind of socially responsible entrepreneurs.

As a major contributor to the natural disaster in Haiqing Province, Liu Xiahui not only gained tens of millions of fans around his neck, but also had a very big harvest, that is, the sales of the catering company under the Liu's Group increased significantly.

In particular, Lao Liu Fast Food, which fought with Lao Ken and Lao Mai, the two major Western fast food giants, benefited the most, and in just one week, its turnover nearly doubled, which was a surprise.

Although this data looks exaggerated, but think about the Wenchuan natural disaster in 08, Wang Laoji's donation of 100 million yuan made the sales of this herbal tea drink skyrocket, and now what Liu Xiahui has done is ten times more than Wang Laoji's original fork, and it is expected that its business will benefit.

That is, in 08, Liu Xiahui was too low-key, and what he did was almost not public, otherwise the Liu Group would have soared to the sky two years ago.

And with the soaring turnover of Lao Liu fast food, the market share is naturally growing rapidly, so that Lao Ken Lao Mai in the Greater China president is anxious and helpless, although in this natural disaster, Lao Ken Lao Mai also symbolically donated a little money, but where is the influence of the donation comparable to Liu Xiahui, who is dedicated to the sake of the victims?

Therefore, after this incident, Lao Liu Fast Food officially surpassed Lao Ken Lao Mai and became the supreme overlord of the fast food market.

Although there is still a long way to go to defeat Lao Ken and Lao Mai, the strong rise of Lao Liu fast food marks that Chinese fast food is no longer kneaded by Western fast food as before.

In the history of the development of mobile phones, countless classic masterpieces have been born.

The first epoch-making mobile phone was the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X, which is the most classic "big brother" and is the world's first commercial mobile phone launched by Motorola.

Speaking of Motorola, many young people in later generations may not have heard of it, but in the history of mobile phone development, Motorola is definitely qualified to be called the first generation of mobile phone overlord.

This Big Brother has a standby time of about 10 hours, can talk for 30 minutes continuously, and can store the information of 30 contacts, many people who "get rich first" have used Big Brother.

In Hong Kong films in the eighties and nineties, Big Brother was the standard for the bigwigs, and the price of this Motorola DynaTAC 8000X Big Brother was 3995 US dollars (about 24300 yuan) at that time.

Then there was the Motorola StarTAC, which had the title of the first flip phone mobile phone and was a huge success, with 60 million units sold.

StarTAC supports SMS and vibration functions, and has a very compact design at the time, and many people even see StarTAC as the ancestor of the later Motorola Razr series models.

This statement is an exaggeration, but at least it is in the same vein as the spirit of the design.

Then there's the Nokia 3310.

Nokia, who must have used a mobile phone, knows its big name, which is a great brand that has maintained the top mobile phone sales for 14 consecutive years.

This Nokia 3310 has a supreme position in the hearts of fans, as an epoch-making model, the Nokia 3310 has sold a total of 126 million units, which can be called a milestone product.

The 3310 also had a monochrome display and access to the WAP network, which was a very advanced feature for its time. On top of that, the classic snake game in the classic has also appeared from 3310.

Then there's the Sony Ericsson T68i, which is the first phone to have a color display, built-in Bluetooth, WAP browsing, and customizable ringtones.

Although the T68i is not equipped with a camera of its own, it can still take pictures by connecting an external camera, which is absolutely amazing at the time.

In addition, in the era of keyboard mobile phones, there are also many classics, which will not be listed here.

After the mobile phone enters the smart era, the famous Apple is a mountain that cannot be bypassed.

On January 9, 2007, Joe personally released Apple's first-generation iPhone.

It was a day when the history of smartphones was to be rewritten.

Although there are many imperfections in this mobile phone, it is this mobile phone that is "five years ahead of the world" that tells people that mobile phones can still be like this, so a smartphone revolution has begun......

It is now June 2010, and it has been more than three years since the birth of the first generation of Apple mobile phones, and after three generations, Apple mobile phones have finally ushered in the fourth generation that can be called the peak.

After seeing the news of the official release of Apple 4 on June 8, Yanagi Hui knew in his heart that the era of smartphones had really arrived.

In his previous life, Liu Xia Hui never used Apple, and he only used Huawei in the era of smart phones, but his wife Tang Xiaomin was a fruit fan in the early days, and chased from Guo 4 to Guo 6, and then abandoned Apple and started using Huawei under the influence of Liu Xia Hui.

The sensation caused by this mobile phone really exceeded everyone's expectations, and the craziest incident was the 17-year-old high school student who cut his kidney to buy an Apple 4, in the words of martial arts, this guy is completely crazy.

In his previous life, when he saw this sensational news, he couldn't believe his eyes, and in the end, although he bought the Apple 4 and fulfilled his wish, he also put himself on it for the rest of his life.

Even if you get more than 1.4 million yuan in compensation later, what's the point?

Of course, there is no shortage of smart people in the world, and there is no shortage of fools, and there is nothing to discuss in this kind of case.

However, from this incident, it can also be used to set off the awesomeness of Apple 4 from the side.

At that time, for the Apple mobile phone, there were really too many incomprehensible things, and even the Apple 4S that Liu Xia Hui bought for his wife was robbed when he was on the phone in broad daylight (thinking of the author's heartache, when he spent thousands of dollars to buy his wife's Apple 4S in 12 years, it didn't take long to be robbed), one by one is simply crazy!

The first batch of Apple 4 was listed in 88 countries around the world, but there was no country in our country, which is not that Apple does not pay attention to the huge market of our country, on the contrary, it is precisely because of too much attention, in order to get off to a good start, Apple has adopted a very famous "hunger marketing", deliberately compressing production, resulting in a scene of best-selling products.

Until next year, after the sale in China, if you are an ordinary person who has no "relationship", it will be difficult to buy a trendy Apple 4 mobile phone immediately - Apple direct stores no longer directly sell Apple 4 mobile phones, and the online store that has just opened will soon show "no supply for the time being", even if you buy the "contract version" of the package phone bill, the staff of Unicom and Suning Electric will politely tell you that you need to wait.

Then, you only have two options, either buy from the "scalper" at a higher price, or buy parallel goods at the same higher price. A smartphone has suddenly blown a whirlwind of fashion sales, and out of stock has become synonymous with it.

On the one hand, it can motivate people to buy, maintain market heat, stabilize prices, and ensure profits.

On the other hand, it can also reduce inventory pressure.

Apple just seized the customer's desire to buy, wanted to buy but couldn't buy it, drove more consumers to pay attention to the Apple 4 mobile phone, and the Apple 4 mobile phone was hyped up in China.

With Yanagi Hui's current financial situation, even if the Apple 4 has just been launched and there is no domestic purchase, it is naturally not difficult for him to buy ten or eight Apple 4.

Therefore, on the day of the launch of the Apple 4, Yanagi Hui asked someone to buy a full ten units to give to relatives.

Although Yanagi Hui wants to support domestic mobile phones, it is undeniable that there is really no mobile phone that can compare with Apple 4, and he will not refuse to use Apple in order to support domestic production.

Not to mention anything else, even Huawei's President Ren is using Apple mobile phones!

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the four traditional festivals in China.

The Dragon Boat Festival is officially set on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, and most places in the country celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival on this day, but the Liushi of Qinghe Village is an exception, and the Dragon Boat Festival of the Liushi of Qinghe Village is on the fourth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar.

Qinghe Village is mainly based on the surname Liu, and there are other surnames such as the surname Jiang, but in the same village, the days of the villagers celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival are different, which is indeed rare in the country.

The reason why this happened is that it is rumored that when Qinghe Village was "making trouble", the ancestors of the Liu family passed the Dragon Boat Festival one day in advance in order to avoid the thieves, and then ran away.

Since then, in order to keep in mind that special day, the ancestors of the Liu family have passed the Dragon Boat Festival one day earlier every year, and gradually formed the custom of the Dragon Boat Festival on the fourth day of the fifth month of the Liu family in Qinghe Village.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, there is an indispensable thing, that is, zongzi.

And when it comes to zongzi, the sweet party and the salty party have something to say.

The sweet party said that zongzi must be sweet and soft and glutinous, which is the right way to the festival. The salty party said that egg yolk and ham pork belly are far richer than your date.

In the past, it was the world of sweet dumplings.

It was once called "the food of the immortals", in the historical data, sweet dumplings can be seen in the Northern Wei Dynasty at the earliest, "food times" has a record, "with rice powder, silk, water, honey...... With dates and chestnut meat, it is up and down all over the ......"

At this time, the zongzi is sweet, and it can be clearly seen that honey and dates are used to make the filling.

In the Tang Dynasty, sweet dumplings were even more of a palace product, with a very high status. There is a dish in the Tang Dynasty people's roasted tail banquet (a banquet dedicated to the Tang Emperor): "Give the scarlet fragrant rice dumplings", which is poured with honey when eating.

In various historical materials of the Song Dynasty, red dates, dried persimmons, walnuts, and red beans can all be included in the rice dumplings...... Su Dongpo wrote: "When you get bayberry in the zongzi", there is bayberry in the zongzi, sweet and sour.

As a result, sweet dumplings have always occupied the supremacy of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Until the Ming and Qing dynasties, the great gourmand Yuan Mei made the delicious salty dumplings public.

"Yangzhou ham zongzi, take the top glutinous rice, pick its perfect Changbai, go to its half of the broken one, Tao it is very familiar, wrap it with a large basket leaf, put a piece of ham in it, seal the pot and simmer for a day and a night, the fuelwood is continuous, the food is smooth and gentle, and the meat is rice. ”

Since then, the salty dumplings have been riding the dust, with changeable fillings and rich imagination, leaving a single sweet dumpling far behind.

The big data of later generations verified this phenomenon, and the earlier central media survey showed that the salty party was about 3% more than the sweet party. After that, in the statistics of the e-commerce platform, the purchase ratio of sweet and salty rice dumplings was 4:6.

The fame of salty zongzi is really great, in Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, the hometown of zongzi, "A Bite of China" has a sentence to describe, "Jiaxing people's down-to-earth and reassuring day, starting from a hot meat zongzi." ”

Jiaxing meat dumplings are marinated in soy sauce and rice wine with a cooking technique, covered with glutinous rice, and wrapped in zongzi. During the steaming process, the fat and seasonings of the pork enter the glutinous rice, which is smooth and salty like lard bibimbap.

A little further south of the southern Fujian region, there is a kind of roast meat dumplings, zongzi glutinous rice is fried with marinade first, wrapped in pork, chicken, mushrooms, squid, dried shrimp, oysters, cooked while hot dipped in peanut butter, spicy sauce, delicious and incomparable.

If there is still a salty and sweet controversy in other places, then in Guangdong Province, where there are thousands of rice dumplings and everything can be rice dumplings, there is no need to waste your tongue on the topic of salty and sweet.

As long as you want to eat zongzi, there are so many styles that you will be dazzled.

Guangdong Province has a basic type of alkaline water dumplings, you can dip them in white sugar and honey, and the white saccharification is in glutinous rice, which is soft and sweet, and the taste is not inferior to the cold dumplings of Chang'an.

There is also an upgraded version of zongzi, which can be used to run on the ground, fly in the sky, and swim in the water. Mung beans, pork, shiitake mushrooms, shrimp, scallops, squid, chestnuts, taro, scallops, barbecued pork, pork ribs, corn, chicken, water chestnut, ......

If you don't know whether to eat sweet or salty, Chaoshan has "double cooked zongzi", half sweet, half salty, red bean paste, mung bean paste, lotus paste sand is sweet and creamy taste, pork salted egg chestnut is salty enjoyment, and then perfectly combined with glutinous rice.

There are also Daojiao dumplings in Guancheng, salted egg yolk and pork are salty, but with the addition of oil, salt, sugar and mung beans, they are sweetened in the salt.

It can be said that the sweet and salty controversy for thousands of years has ended in the imagination of the people of Guangdong Province.

In the zongzi world, there is another place where zongzi has to be mentioned, that is, the big zongzi in Anguang County, Gui Province, which is one of the main foods for people in Anguang County, Gui Province to celebrate the Spring Festival.

This Anguang County dumpling is really big, a large dumpling is several pounds heavy, with a large plump body, bright color, fragrant and delicious in Gui Province. It has won the gold medal of the Southeast Asia International Tourism and Food Festival for two consecutive years, and is the most famous traditional flavor snack in Guizhou Province.

However, Liu Xiahui has eaten zongzi all over the world, and he feels that the zongzi in his hometown Qinghe Village are the best.

Qinghe Village's zongzi have two main advantages, the first advantage is that the taste is soft and glutinous, and it is the kind of delicacy that makes people feel satisfied just by eating glutinous rice before eating the filling inside.

The second advantage is the filling inside, which was not special originally, that is, ordinary pork belly.

However, due to the marinated pork belly is delicious enough, and the people of Qinghe Village will also collect a unique local fragrance of leaves, which is used to wrap the pork belly, and the aroma of glutinous rice, pork belly and leaves is blended together when eating, which can definitely make people unforgettable.

Since the rebirth, Liu Xiahui attaches more importance to the traditional festivals of our country, seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival is coming, after receiving the Apple 4 mobile phone purchased by the trustee, he took his wife and children back to his hometown with his parents and sisters for the festival.

Before boarding the private jet, Yanagi Hui gave the Apple 4 mobile phones in his hands to his relatives one by one......
