The years of red flags

Chen Hai shook his head and said: "Come on, although I'm not a rich person, I still know what you rich people think. In the eyes of people like you, a high-rise building like my house is a symbol of lack of taste. There used to be a big show next door to my hometown, and he told me that the big show in old Jinmen used to live in a foreign-style house in the concession even if they had money, so they were proud of the Qingqingtang tile house courtyard house, and that's what they wanted."

Jiang Hua asked with a smile: "You must have been dreaming about how to live when you become rich in the future, thinking about building a four-way courtyard house in Jinmen, isn't it?"

Chen Hai said regretfully: "Haha, I really had such an idea. It's a pity, even if no one cares about this kind of old-fashioned house now, it's not something I can afford."

At this time, Chen Hai's daughter-in-law came out of the kitchen, wiped her hands on the apron, and said with a smile: "You are Jianghua, right? Our old Chen always mentions you. This is a younger brother and sister. Come out from the painting. It's so beautiful."

Lan Jieying said politely: "Sister-in-law praised you, is sister-in-law busy? Let me help you."

"No, no, there is no such rule." Chen Hai's daughter-in-law hurriedly stopped: "You are a guest, so how can you ask a guest to help, so don't worry, I will take care of things in the kitchen, and I will be fine in a while."

Chen Hai stood beside Jiang Hua and said, "Squad leader, I seem to have seen your daughter-in-law somewhere, and she seems to be featured in some Xiangjiang movie."

"That's right, she used to be an actress and host in Xiangjiang, and now she is studying in Beijing Film Academy."

Chen Hai smiled and said, "You are such a beast, you can even attack students who are still in school."

"Fuck off, make good tea quickly." Jiang Hua sat on the sofa in a big way, and said like a grandpa: "Melon and fruit snacks? Come to your house and let me just wait and eat noodles."

Chen Hai took out several red jars from the side of the sofa, grabbed some peanuts, melon seeds, and walnuts from them and put them on the table.

"Let's eat, there is still less of yours."

After finishing speaking, Chen Hai turned on the TV, and the three of them watched TV while eating and drinking. Jiang Hua and Chen Hai casually chatted about recent events.

After chatting for a few words, Chen Hai was called into the kitchen by his wife to help, and Lan Jieying also walked in. After helping for a while, Chen Hai was pushed out by his wife.

Lan Jieying said with a look of surprise: "I saw that there are so many dishes in it, so I said that there are only four of us and we can't eat so many dishes, so I asked my sister-in-law to make less. My sister-in-law said that these are all noodles. , I’ve seen at least 20 kinds of noodles, which are noodles, this is completely mixed vegetables, after making a bowl of noodles, can we still see each other?”

"Eating noodles is very sacred in Jinmen. It can't be troublesome. There are no more than ten or twenty dishes, so they can't be called noodles. They may even prepare a few more kinds of stew."

Lan Jieying said: "If I were from Jinmen, I could not eat noodles for a year. It's too troublesome, even more troublesome than cooking soup for us southerners."

"So you are from Xiangjiang. In the north, such as Jinmen and Beijing, noodles with fried sauce and braised noodles are good things to eat during the festival. Like dumplings, they are beliefs, not just simple ones. Diet."

Lan Jieying said with a smile: "That's not like us in eastern Guangdong, drinking soup is a belief. If you don't drink soup for a day, you will feel uncomfortable all over your body and feel damp."

This meal of noodles was finally eaten, but it was almost one o'clock when the noodles were eaten.The table was full, and there were only three or four dishes of stewed fish that could be considered as cooked dishes, and the rest were noodle dishes, which filled the table.

Chen Hai said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, we Jinmen eat noodles like this, if there is less, the noodles will be tasteless, so we are determined not to let it go."

Lan Jieying ate very comfortably, and it tasted even better than the noodles in Beijing.

After dinner, Chen Hai and Jiang Hua sat on the sofa drinking tea and chatting, while Lan Jieying and Chen Hai's daughter-in-law were doing homework.

Jiang Hua said: "Take me to the confiscated goods warehouse of your customs in the afternoon to see if there are any good cars. I plan to buy two."

"You just got twenty Land Cruisers, do you want another car?"

"Isn't that car donated, and it's not for me." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "The car I want this time is driven by me and my wife, one for each of us."

"Look, you were hired by Sao. Most people still ride bicycles, but you have to drive a car. One car for each person. It's time to divide the land with local tyrants."

Jiang Hua leaned back rascally: "Just say whether you can help me with this."

"Help." Chen Hai said with a smile: "What a big deal, we really have a few good cars in our warehouse, most people can't afford them, and they've been left there to collect dust. We made money."

Jiang Hua laughed loudly: "Then let's go."

The three of them drove to the customs, and the same staff member opened the confiscated warehouse in the morning, and the shelves were full of things.

Jiang Hua said curiously: "There are a lot of confiscated things."

Chen Hai shook his head and said: "It's not long since it was opened. Now foreign trade is gradually increasing, and some people import things from abroad. They always like to bring in some private goods, thinking that we can't find them out. Open the box and inspect it, and everything will be clear. Well, these people, it’s just luck, some of the taxes they paid back were returned, and some people didn’t want to pay the taxes back, so they left it here to eat ashes.”

Jiang Hua pointed to a shelf and said, "Hey, there are so many ivory here, it's worth a lot of money."

"It's all brought in, and we can't sell it at a low price. Occasionally, some handicraft companies will come to buy some. You know, the handicraft company is not doing well now, and you can't buy much. There are also gemstones and mahogany over there. , there are too many expensive things.”

Jiang Hua made some calculations and said, "These ivory, mahogany, gemstones, fur, you count how much, I want them all."

Chen Hai asked curiously: "Why do you want these things?"

"Collect it." Jiang Hua said generously: "In the future, these things will become less and less, and people's awareness of environmental protection will become stronger and stronger. It will be difficult to buy these things again. I can buy them now. Here, charge a little more."

Chen Hai said with a smile: "You are a billionaire, and you have far-sightedness than me. Since you said that you can increase the price, then I will also buy some."

After Chen Hai finished speaking, he pointed to a shelf in the distance and said, "There are also imported red wines over there. It is said that they are all imported from Gaul. Do you want it?"

"There are still these good things, so I will definitely want them." Jiang Hua said happily: "As long as they are from the five major wineries, I want them all."

"I don't know if there are five or five major wineries. I will show you the product catalog at that time. You can just tick what you want."
