After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 384, Episode 0415: Past and Present

Aunt Yang and Uncle Yang set out the food, and everyone moved to the dining table.

Although Uncle Liu was not involved in the poisoning incident, he was the one who introduced the person. In other places, Uncle Liu might not have been affected, but with Lin Yuexi, even the slightest risk was avoided as much as possible. Therefore, Uncle Liu was still affected and was dismissed.

The current head chef, Uncle Yang, used to be there. He was good at making noodles, but he was a bit unbalanced, so he didn't get the head chef position. But this guy was ambitious. After joining the team, he spent every day improving his cooking skills in various areas. He even often volunteered to cook the dishes for the guards, just to have more opportunities to practice his skills.

Everyone has seen his hard work, and his culinary skills are indeed extensive and versatile. Therefore, Uncle Liu stepped down, and Uncle Yang took over through a vote.

Huo Han first served the old man a bowl of black chicken soup, and then gave the second bowl to his wife, his eyes filled with a hint of guilt.

My wife just yawned. Was he too much last night?
There was nothing we could do; the fire in the old house was out of control.

Moreover, his wife is usually aloof and reserved, but he never expected her to be so bold in bed. How could he possibly tolerate that?!
At this moment, someone was still thinking that the grandfather and grandson hadn't noticed the risqué thing. The two of them were used to Huo Han's personality of putting them first, so they weren't coy and continued to talk about what had just happened while drinking their soup.

Lin Yuexi: "Grandpa, after the economy opens up, will the Cui family rise to prominence?"

The old man sipped his soup, showing no sense of urgency, and said calmly, "Back then, we wanted to cut off part of the Cui family's network because we were too weak. The country had to unite, and in chaotic times, harsh measures were necessary, so some people were wronged."

It can't be said that the measures taken back then were correct, but they were the best and fastest. At that time, we were so weak that anyone could step on us. We couldn't afford to be slow, or we would fall apart.

"Originally, it was according to plan, and it would have taken several more years because of our technological advancements..."

At this point, the old man looked at Lin Yuexi with considerable pride: "Your YX series has earned us a lot of rare resources, which has greatly boosted our confidence."

In the past, whenever we cooperated with foreign countries on anything, the main goal was to earn foreign exchange, and then use that foreign exchange to buy things that were only available abroad.

The losses we suffered were not minor.

But there's nothing we can do. What we can sell isn't what others need, while what we want to buy from them is what we need. That's the sad thing about being technologically weak.

When we sell embroidery to others, they just want it to look nice or collect it. Having it is just icing on the cake, and not having it is just a pity. But when we buy machine tools and technology from others, these are essential if we want to develop.

If the demands of both sides are disproportionate, we lack confidence.

When Lin Yuexi's YX series came out, it brought a series of technological advancements. She even improved machine tools on the spot. Later, when she worked on wind power generation, she improved steelmaking technology, and so on.

Leaving aside what happened later, let's just talk about the YX series. When it was used on the battlefield against India, India's defeat that time was so swift that the battle caused a sensation around the world. After all, no matter how stupid India is, it still has M standing behind it.

We essentially had another fight with M, and won by a bizarrely quick margin.

Thus, the YX series, which was once unparalleled on the battlefield and even played a decisive role on several occasions, suddenly entered the world's attention again in a normal way.

And that is exactly what was meant above.

Due to the required technology and materials, the YX series was produced in limited quantities. The total number produced was not enough to equip a regiment. Therefore, to date, apart from special forces regiments and special units such as Xu Shan, the YX series cannot be supplied to all armies. Some of it was even used as rewards.

That is, because Leng Zhi claimed Lin Yuexi as his daughter, and the production rights of the YX series were placed in the Northwest Military Region Research Institute, the Northwest Military Region was able to arm a company with advanced and convenient equipment.

This very company was invincible on the battlefield against the Indians, winning wherever they went and bombing wherever they went, advancing in a platoon-like fashion.

This is incredibly eye-catching, and the YX series has become an instant hit. Other countries might not find our other products particularly special, and we certainly wouldn't sell something as precious as the mushroom cloud, but the YX series, with its world-leading technology and anti-theft features added by Lin Yuexi, is the perfect product to sell.

The YX series will only make people feel powerful, not cause panic. With the mushroom cloud shaking the ground, those big countries that can't stand to see us doing well will at most make a few sarcastic remarks.

Small countries in insecure regions are very interested in it, since they're going to buy it anyway, so what difference does it make who they buy it from?

As for the idea of ​​having a powerful backer, between countries, self-interest always comes first.

Sure enough, after the YX series became famous, many small countries contacted us, either openly or covertly, expressing their intention to purchase it.

This time, we have more confidence; we can set the conditions ourselves.

In the past, our technology was backward and we didn't understand many things. So, sadly, several precious resources were bought by foreign countries at prices so low that they were practically given away, even though we didn't know what they were for.

It hurts just thinking about it. Now that we have the chance, we have to try our best to get some back!
Therefore, the YX series is sold without monetary transactions; it's all about resource conversion.

With this change, we have even more confidence.

A virtuous cycle that continues to grow.

With this confidence and economic strength rising, the people's living standards will naturally improve, and the old policies will have to be changed.

This is one of the reasons for opening up the economy ahead of schedule.

The liberalization of the economy also means that the pressure on the Cui family will be reduced.

Therefore, the current situation is that the Cui family is clearly rising in power and can no longer be suppressed.

It sounds pretty scary, but the three people at the table all looked very calm, as if this was a trivial matter in their eyes, or even a big deal, and they were just treating it as gossip.

After finishing his meal, Huo Han apologized to the old man, kissed Lin Yuexi on the forehead, and then hurriedly left.

The old man couldn't stand that cloying atmosphere, so he clicked his tongue twice and walked out, saying, "I'm going for a stroll."

Lin Yuexi smiled and shook her head. After the old man's figure left, her face visibly darkened, and her eyes revealed a murderous intent.

"You should personally visit Old Master Hua."

Xu Shan paused for a moment. Judging from the tone, it didn't sound like he was being asked to visit the person; it sounded more like he was being asked to go to their door.

However, he quickly understood Lin Yuexi's meaning, responded, and went into the storage room next to the kitchen to pick up a box of American ginseng before leaving.

Lin Yuexi originally didn't take Hua Yingyu seriously, but she disliked the fact that Hua Yingyu was instigating others to get close to her.

Putting aside the fact that she dislikes people causing trouble for her because of love and romance, Hua Yingyu's behavior crossed her bottom line because people who get close to her might be accidentally injured or even killed.

She naturally had nothing to argue with Hua Yingyu about; it would be beneath her. If she disliked someone, she would only go to the head of the household and tell them to mind their own business.
