"I want to eat hot pot. I also want to eat a few big bowls of rice." Seeing that I didn't speak, she laughed loudly and said. In fact, it wasn't because of other reasons that I didn't speak, but what she just said has been in my mind.
It reverberated inside and caused an abnormal reaction in my heart, including my body.
"Okay." I said, the ripples in my heart suddenly calmed down a lot, and then I stepped on the accelerator, and the car rushed forward quickly.
I looked on both sides of the road while driving, and finally saw the signboard of a hot pot restaurant in one place. Stopping the car, I asked her: "How is it here?"
"Okay. Judging from the decoration of this hot pot restaurant, it should be fine." She said with a smile.
"Why do you say that? How can decoration and taste be related?" I asked her in surprise after getting off the car.
"Since the owner of this hot pot restaurant dares to spend so much money on decoration, it shows that he is very confident in the taste of his store. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a loss if the business is not good?" she replied with a smile.
I laughed, "It makes sense. But it's not necessarily true. People nowadays are too particular about ostentation, especially those who treat guests. They always think that a well-decorated place is very respectable. Also, many people choose places to eat not just for the sake of it."
We’re here to eat. And many places deliberately make the food taste ordinary.”
"What's that for?" she asked in surprise.
So I told her Governor Huang's theory.
"There is such a thing. Brother Feng, you are so knowledgeable." She looked at me with admiration, then shook her head and said, "But places like hot pot restaurants are different. If it tastes bad, you won't be able to eat.
It’s not appropriate to invite people to talk about things here.”
I immediately laughed, "Let's not talk about it. Don't you know if it tastes good or not when you eat it?"
She also laughed, "That's right. Why do we always make such a simple thing so complicated?"
We sat down at a window seat. Maybe because it was noon, the business here was not very good, but there were still a few tables of people eating.
The waiter poured us tea, and then I asked Yu Min to order. She ticked off a few items at random, and then gave me the menu, "I ordered what I like, you can take a look."
"Okay. What you like to eat is probably what I like. I'm not very particular about food, I just need to fill my stomach." I said, and then ordered the waiter to take away the menu.
The pot started to boil, and the aroma suddenly hit your nostrils.
"I guess it tastes good." I said, because I was also hungry and couldn't help but move my index finger.
"Brother Feng, I want to tell you something." She was stroking the tea cup and saying to me at the same time. She did not look at me, her eyes were directed towards the thick soup that was boiling in the pot.
"You should have told me a long time ago?" I said, and I suddenly became unhappy because I didn't like the way she was going around and around to make things difficult for one thing. If she talks about it as soon as she meets me today
I might be more accepting of it.
"I really didn't have anything to do when I came to see you today. This thing just occurred to me when I left your laboratory. When I got to the campus, I didn't appreciate the scenery inside at all, but kept looking at it.
Think of something." She explained hurriedly.
Now I was surprised, "Then tell me, what exactly happened?"
"Brother Feng, are you actually studying that instrument now? Studying its therapeutic effect?" she asked me.
"Yeah. What's wrong?" I was a little confused.
"In other words, if your research project is successful, your instruments will be sold to major hospitals across the country in the future, right?" she asked again.
"Sales?" I asked in astonishment. Suddenly, my mind suddenly lit up: Yes, why haven't I thought about such a problem before?
In the past, I only thought about applying it to clinical applications after successful research on this topic, and then applying for a patent. I never thought about producing the instruments myself and selling them. Now her words suddenly reminded me: Yes, if the topic is successful,
Why don't I produce this kind of instrument myself? You know, there are huge profits here. Because if a new instrument is to be sold, its price will definitely not be a matter of adding a few percent or tens of tens to the cost, because
Such an instrument contains an extremely important thing, that is, intellectual property rights, that is, its scientific and technological content. This is just like a national first-class new drug, which allows the price department to set an expensive price.
Thinking of this, I immediately understood what Yu Min meant, so I asked her: "You mean, you want to be responsible for the sales of my instrument in the future? Do you want to be the general sales agent?"
She looked at me and smiled, "Is that okay?"
"Yu Min, I haven't thought about it that much now. But I think what you need most now is to learn. Think about it, if I really give you the general sales agent of this instrument in the future, how can you tell me
I promise to sell them? So, it’s better that we don’t talk about this matter for the time being.” I said after thinking for a while.
"I promise to study hard from now on. But you must also promise me first. If I have that ability in the future, you must give me your general sales agent for this product. Can you?" she said.
.
By this time, the dishes had been put on the table, and I suddenly felt hungry. I hurriedly poured the dishes into the pot and said, "Okay. But then you have to prove yourself?"
"Okay. That's what we've settled on," she said happily.
The hot pot tastes really good, the spiciness is moderate, and it tastes very fragrant.
"Brother Feng, let's drink some beer. It's a way to celebrate the success of your experimental project in advance." She said to me.
Now I am in a good mood, because her previous words gave me new plans for my project, so I nodded and agreed.
Each of us drank three bottles of beer, and then ate a large bowl of rice. I felt that this meal was really comfortable. It seemed that I hadn’t eaten such a sweet meal in a long time. I even burped when I paid and went out.
Min laughed next to me.
Then I drove Yu Min to my villa.
"Brother Feng, is this your house?" she asked me in surprise.
I smiled and nodded.
She looked at me and said, "Brother Feng, I didn't expect you to be so powerful. You even have a villa. Hey! The golden house hides the beauty. You are not going to hide me, an old woman, here, are you?"
I immediately laughed, "How old are you? Are you already an old woman?"
Her expression suddenly became gloomy, "Brother Feng, look at me. I've been so busy recently and lost so much weight that I don't even recognize myself. Now I don't even dare to look in the mirror. Brother Feng, don't you
Do you think you’ll look down on me now that I’ve become ugly?”
Maybe it's the effect of alcohol. When I look at her now, I feel that she is still so beautiful, and I don't think she has lost weight. "What are you talking about? You are still so beautiful."
"You are really good at talking." She smiled charmingly at me. My heart suddenly swayed because I found her eyes really charming.
After entering the villa, she looked around happily, and when she came out, she said loudly to me: "It's great to have money. I will also buy a villa like this in the future. When I have money."
"There will be a day." I smiled at her.
"If you let me represent your products by then, I believe I will make a lot of money." She said, very seriously.
"No problem. As long as you have the ability." I said.
She ran towards me and hugged me tightly, "Brother Feng, you are so kind."
I felt that she was really happy.
I once heard a saying that someone studied and found that a windfall of only one thousand pounds is enough to change the life of an ordinary person. After studying nine thousand British families, this person found that money can indeed make people happy.
People who win lottery tickets or just inherit family inheritance will not only feel happier, but also find that their psychological stress will be reduced after evaluation. He finally came to the conclusion: if measured by a four-level happiness grading index
, on average, every 250,000 pounds can increase a person's happiness by one level. Therefore, a very unhappy person would need about 1 million pounds to be as happy as the happiest person. He later found out through research that,
A windfall will make people happier than a salary of the same amount. Therefore, this matter is like a windfall to Yu Min. It is no wonder that she is unhappy.
And for me, I am also very happy. Because there are also studies showing that helping others is the basis of happiness, and this contains a scientific psychological factor.
Psychologists have found that helping others is a great virtue in life. When people help others, they also help themselves, or in other words, they psychologically enrich themselves and make themselves happy.
American psychologist Williams told this story: He had a young female patient, Tess, who suffered from depression a few years ago due to a broken love, and moved from the northeastern United States where she originally lived to live in the Midwest. Tess quickly
She discovered that the living habits of people in the Midwest are very different from those in the Northeast. The pace of life in the Midwest is slow and the relationship between people is very harmonious. Several times, she came out of the parking lot and went into the driveway, even though the driveway was
In a long motorcade, someone always gave way to her. This kind of polite behavior, putting others before oneself, deeply moved her. One morning, she let a large truck go first, and she was deeply moved.
Later on the road, the truck driver noticed in the rearview mirror that Tess's car was out of gas, so he stopped the car, took out his own spare gasoline, put it into Tess's car, and "escorted" Tess to a nearby gas station to fill it up.
Fortunately, the two young people got married and Tess's depression was cured.
This sounds like a romantic movie story, but psychologists believe it contains profound scientific truth. An American psychology magazine published the results of a large-scale psychological questionnaire and found that people who often help others are significantly less willing to help others than those who are not.
people are happy; measured by happiness index or life satisfaction index, the former is 24 percentage points higher than the latter; from the perspective of psychiatric epidemiology, the former is less likely to suffer from depression than the latter
Much more. The researchers concluded that developing the habit of helping others is a good way to prevent and treat depression. The result of helping others is often a win-win situation, which not only helps others, but also leaves oneself with money.
Happiness that cannot be bought. (To be continued)
