There is a bar in Houhai

Chapter 30
Shen Hui came back from Shanghai on the afternoon of the [-]rd, and brought Shen Fang a lot of souvenirs, big and small bags filled the trunk of the vehicle, and then filled the kitchen of his home.

Then Shen Hui took the two maids and announced that she would settle down here during the holidays in the next few days, and let Shen Fang serve them with delicious food and drink. The two maids jumped for joy, but Shen Fang remained silent.

Shen Fang found out now that this elder sister squeezed herself with peace of mind since she knew she could cook.Shen Fang really regretted his embarrassment: Big sister, I'm just a hobby, not a cook.At first I wanted to resist, but when I saw the two little girls looking at you with big watery eyes, I couldn't say anything more if I refused.Alas, he owed them, Shen Fang picked up the apron, looked depressedly at Shen Hui who was sitting in the yard playing with the two girls, then turned and went into the kitchen.

In the morning of late autumn, the temperature in Yanjing was a bit chilly. Shen Fang would still get up on time at six o'clock in the morning, and then run around Houhai Park along Yangchang Hutong.The mist floats lightly on the water, intertwined with the weeping willows in the distance, like a veil.Those who practice swords, boxing, and hang their voices by the lake have already occupied their positions. A few alley uncles who get up early and walk the birds sit on stone benches and brag about their larks or starlings.

It took nearly an hour to run around, and when I came back, my sister and the two girls had already got up.Children seem to have a special ability. When they are in school, they stay in bed desperately, and they don’t want to get up no matter how threatened. And they like to get up early when they are on vacation. Sometimes it is difficult for you to sleep late.Shen Hui probably was woken up early, and now she is sitting on a mat and practicing yoga, while the two girls are greeting a little bird flying from nowhere on the tree under the tree.

"Morning, sister." Shen Fang went back to his room to wash up, greeted Shen Hui, and then consciously walked to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Shen Hui looked at her younger brother's appointed face, and couldn't help laughing: "Breakfast is ready, the pumpkin porridge is cooked, and the buns I bought at the entrance of the alley outside."

"Really, sister, you are still as virtuous as before." Shen Fang changed his expression instantly, and said to Shen Hui in a doggy manner.

"You two hurry up and wash your hands, you are ready to eat breakfast." Shen Hui didn't bother to pay attention to him, and called out to the two girls.

In the morning, I made pumpkin porridge. Shen Fang likes to grind the pumpkin in the pumpkin porridge very finely, then add some chopped salty beans and take a sip. Salty and sour taste, special appetizer.

Sitting in the dining room, drank a bowl of porridge and ate three big meat buns, then watched Shen Hui wiping the corners of the mouths of the two girls with a napkin.

"Sister, I'm going to Panjiayuan in the morning to buy some vases, Wenwan and so on, to decorate my house here. What about you?" Shen Fang took over Shen Hui's work and came to serve the two young masters and let her eat by herself.

"I'm going to the company. I haven't been there for a few days. I have some things to deal with. If it's convenient for you, you can take the two of them to go shopping."

"Okay, let me tell you two, be obedient and don't mess with me." Shen Fang looked at the expectant eyes of the two girls and had to agree.

The full name of Panjiayuan is "Panjiayuan Flea Market". You can tell from the name that it used to be a place for buying and selling secondhand goods. A large antique art market that spreads folk culture.

Panjiayuan during the holidays can definitely be called crowded. Shen Fang held a girl in one hand, and suddenly felt a little regretful. After several years abroad, he completely forgot the crowds of people on holidays in China.The two girls looked around with great interest, pulling Shen Fang to take a look at anything that was too weird.

Shen Fang took the two maids to stroll around the stall area for a while, satisfying the curiosity of the two maids, and then came to a shop "Qinghuaxuan" that he knew well before.

The owner of "Qinghuaxuan" is Na Xin, who is in his 40s. His ancestors used to be idlers, and they were children of the Eight Banners. Before liberation, the family business was ruined. This really saved his family from disaster during the Cultural Revolution.After the reform and opening up, the boss, relying on a few old objects handed down from his ancestors, dumped antiques and second-hand goods in Panjiayuan. A large shop with three rooms, because of picking up a big leakage of Ming blue and white, so even the name of the shop was changed to "Qinghuaxuan". Shen Fang's grandfather and Na Xin's father grew up together when they were young, and they used to come with the old man often. Coming here to play, I also learned a lot of tricks in the antique business from him.

"Excuse me, is the boss there?" Shen Fang entered the shop with two girls, and asked the clerk who came up to him.Different from the crowd outside the door, the store was a little deserted, with only three or five customers and a few guys.

"My lord, the boss is upstairs. I'll invite you to come down." The shop assistants in the antique shop had relatively sharp eyesight. Seeing Shen Fang and his two children, he went straight to the boss, so he probably knew him well.

"Is he busy? If I'm busy, I'll wait for him below." Shen Fang signaled the clerk to be casual, and took two girls to look at the porcelain in the shop. Most of the shops were imitations, even if there were a few real ones Also locked in a glass showcase.

"My lord, who are you?" Na Xin, who hadn't seen him for a few years, was a little fat, his face was full of oil, and he was wearing a dark Tang suit. He asked beside Shen Fang in surprise.

"Uncle, I'm Jin Ye, I don't remember."

"Oh, it's you kid. Didn't you go abroad? When did you come back? There are children here?" Na Xin was surprised when he saw Shen Fang.

"This is my cousin's child," Shen Fang explained, "Sisi, Jiajia, that grandpa."

"Then grandpa, hehe." Maybe this surname is too strange for the child, so the two children looked at each other and smiled after calling him.

"Hey, these two kids, don't take offense." Shen Fang said with a wry smile, "I came back some time ago. Didn't this house be installed, and I plan to touch a few things here to decorate."

Na Xin called Shen Fang to sit down, and ordered the waiter to bring some fruit snacks for the two children: "The house is not cheap now, the old houses outside the second ring road are basically demolished, and only a few protected areas still exist. Then A house next to it must be at least a big number, you kid has a lot of money now." Na Xin knew that this house referred to a courtyard house, so he couldn't help but be a little surprised at Shen Fang's big money.

"Uncle, I bought that house a long time ago, eight or nine years ago, and it wasn't that expensive at that time. Isn't this coming back? I feel that our old house in Yanjing City is still comfortable to live in."

"That's true. I feel uncomfortable when I look at the elevator room that looks like a pigeon cage. I always feel like I can't stretch my legs. I still feel comfortable in the old courtyard, walking a bird, playing chess, and sitting in the yard at noon. Lie down for a while, not to mention how comfortable it is." Na Xin also had a look of regret, "It's just that the house is too expensive now, and I didn't have the money when I had the opportunity, but now I have money and can't afford it."

The two chattered for a while, and Shen Fang told Na Xin about his needs. He was just for decoration, so whenever he picked out any antiques, he asked Na Xin to help choose seven or eight pieces of antique porcelain with more exquisite workmanship. .I gave the boss the address of my house and asked him to take the time to help deliver it. After all, there are too many to fit in the car.And declined Na Xin's lunch, and went shopping with the two girls.
