Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 273 Treasure
In the early morning of the next day, Hu Yanqiu was busy steaming the steamed buns, Sicui lit the fire, she kneaded the dough and divided the ingredients, and finally she operated everything on the steamer.

Gu Siwei has really become the hands-off shopkeeper.

It may also be because there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as the word is serious, Hu Yanqiu, who is serious, steamed the steamed buns quite successfully, at least in steamed buns, the current level surpasses Gu Siwei.

It may be that the steamed steamed buns opened up Ren Du's second vein all of a sudden, and awakened Hu Yanqiu's talent for pasta. Next, Hu Yanqiu made pancakes, steamed buns and so on.

The only one who is poor is Gu Siwei, because he is a southerner, and it is no problem to eat pasta for one or two meals. Now that he eats it every day, it is a bit difficult for him.

Seeing his daughter-in-law so excited, he couldn't tell.

And there is no way to say it, everyone is happy, but I want to eat rice alone?Gu Siwei himself felt a little fucked up.

Although this is a legitimate request.

Five people gathered around the table, each with a vegetarian steamed stuffed bun with cucumber in their hands, and in front of them were fried shredded pork with celery and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

At this time, the standard on the table at home is already quite high. Even Qiao Qisheng's family doesn't have such a standard.

But Gu Siwei had a hard time eating.

For the same reason, Gu Siwei hasn't eaten rice for a few days, and he can't swallow the pasta.

This is not to say that the steamed buns made by Hu Yanqiu are not delicious. To be honest, the steamed stuffed buns are quite good. The stuffing of cucumber is added with crushed roasted peanuts.

But Gu Siwei just wanted to eat rice at this time. This is not a question of whether it is good or not, but a question of living habits.

At this moment, old man Li was holding the steamed stuffed bun, performing two bites of steamed stuffed bun next to the table, muttering and praising Hu Yanqiu's craftsmanship while eating.

"I can't say how good this steamed stuffed bun is. I live such an old age, and this steamed stuffed bun is the best!"

Old man Li set the tone, and old man Yu was not idle, and followed suit with praise.

The two old men have no problem eating anything, as long as they can eat enough, even if it is stuffed with leaves, the two of them will eat well.

Even Si Cui nodded and praised: "Sister-in-law, the buns you make are getting better and better, much more delicious than my brother's. He can make meat buns and three-inch buns, but the dough is not as good as yours, and the stuffing is not as good as yours. The stuffing you make is probably better than sister-in-law Meiling in the whole village..."

Little sycophant!

Gu Siwei glanced at his sister, and cursed in his heart.

Hu Yanqiu was praised beautifully, and said with a smile: "How about we still eat buns that night? I think the gourds we planted are ripe, so let's eat gourd shredded buns at night."

"it is good!"

Sicui nodded her head like a beetle just dug out of the ground.

Old man Li and old man Yu also agreed loudly.

Hu Yanqiu's eyes then fell on Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei was thinking about how to raise rice with his wife.

"Okay, let's eat cucurbit silk steamed stuffed buns tonight. I'll discuss with sister-in-law Meiling later on what to use to wrap the cucurbit silk with the two families. If the two families are together, bring them to my uncle's house. If the three families make it together, it will save time..."

Who knew that Hu Yanqiu was not prepared to ask Gu Siwei's opinion at all, so he directly finalized the matter.

Ah!
Gu Siwei was a little confused.

Seeing Gu Siwei's expression, Hu Yanqiu asked, "Do you have any suggestions for gourd silk stuffing?"

"No no!"

Gu Siwei thought that he should stop suggesting it. If she didn’t suggest it, she could still discuss it with Meiling’s sister-in-law, at least there was some hope. If he suggested to let her play, Gu Siwei felt that he might have to make some new attempt.

Gu Siwei was thinking about how to run now. At this time, he suddenly thought about Hong Kong City, but he had already thrown out the words. He said that there was no reason to go to Hong Kong City ahead of time, so how to explain it?
Besides, Hu Yanqiu, this little girl is really not stupid, and sometimes she is quite shrewd. After Guan Jian got married, Gu Siwei felt that he couldn't tell when she was shrewd and when she was stupid.

After a meal, Gu Siwei spent almost half of his time thinking about what excuses he could find for not eating at home at night.

What he didn't expect was that his excuse was that he didn't think of it, and the excuse was that he delivered it to his door.

Before the meal was finished, shouts came from Yinsongya.

"Brother, I'm calling you!"

Sicui's ears are sharp, and as soon as he heard it, he heard the name of someone named Gu Siwei at the bottom of the cliff. As soon as he heard the title, he knew that the person who came was Liu Dezhu, and only his voice was like a broken gong.

Gu Siwei also heard it, so he stood up, threw the last bite of bun skin into his mouth, spread his legs and ran towards the edge of the cliff like a rabbit.

When he reached the edge of the cliff, Gu Siwei stretched his head and looked down.

"Why don't you come up?"

He asked Liu Dezhu at the bottom of the cliff.

Liu Dezhu said: "I won't go up, that, brother Siwei, my master's bed has been brought over, let you go to see each other."

"it is good!"

Gu Siwei was refreshed when he heard this, and immediately had an idea in his mind.

"Wait, I'll go back and say I'll be there right away." Gu Siwei said something to Liu Dezhu, and without waiting for his answer, he trotted all the way back.

"Well, eat it! I have something to do here."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to Hu Yanqiu and said, "I may come back later tonight, so I don't need to keep mine for dinner. I helped him arrange a deal."

"Is there still a deal at this time?"

Old man Yu said something strange.

Gu Siwei didn't even pay attention to him, and after finishing speaking to Hu Yanqiu, he slipped away.

When Hu Yanqiu came back to his senses, Gu Siwei was already about ten meters away.

"Are you coming back at night?" Hu Yanqiu asked.

Gu Siwei said: "Come back, it may be later."

"Be careful on the road." After Hu Yanqiu finished speaking, he thought of the short gun he had brought, so he stood up and went back to the house to take it and ran towards the edge of the cliff.

Running fast and jogging, when she reached the edge of the cliff, Gu Siwei had already run a long way in the boat.

"What's urgent is like burning your butt."

Hu Yanqiu muttered something and went back with the pistol.

Gu Siwei sent the boat all the way to Liu Guo's two docks.

Far away, a group of people appeared in Gu Siwei's line of sight, about five or six, some of whom he knew, such as Liu Fulin and Guo Shengshou, and the rest of the three did not know each other, but there were two familiar faces, and he could tell they were from the village at a glance, so he couldn't tell which team they belonged to.

When they got closer, Gu Siwei found that one of the eyebrows was five points similar to that of Zheng Youcai's nephew, Zheng Lixin. No need to ask, this must be the same clan of Zheng Youcai.

He jumped onto the pier and tied the boat. Gu Siwei was introduced by Zheng Youcai and got to know a few people.

After only two or three polite sentences, everyone started to get down to business.

"This is something, look at it!"

Zheng Youcai stretched out his fingers to a pile of wooden components randomly placed beside the pier.

"How can I see this thing? It's really difficult for me." Gu Siwei looked at the wooden components on the ground with a bitter face.

He was not interested in these ancient furniture at first, but now that they have been dismantled like this, he looks like a ghost!
"Let's do it, put things together simply, you don't need to put them together, just put them together..." Zheng Youcai said to his nephews.

These people didn't talk much, and started to build it together.

At this moment, Wu Meiling waved at Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei leaned over.

"Sister-in-law" Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Wu Meiling lowered her voice and said, "If you can get a watch, it's best to keep it for yourself."

"Sister-in-law, do you still know this?" Gu Siwei asked in a low voice in surprise.

Wu Meiling said: "The material of red sandalwood and the workmanship can be seen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. However, it is not for the imperial use in terms of regulations, but in terms of workmanship, it is not worse than the imperial use, or even better. This bed supports people. To be honest, if I have a watch, I will buy it."

"Is there anything better than the one used by the emperor?" Gu Siwei felt a little unconvinced.

Wu Meiling laughed after hearing this and said: "No one in the past dynasties has done less about the Mongolian emperor. For example, Qianlong, Daoguang, and Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty were all deceived. An egg cost about ten taels of silver, and courtiers and eunuchs joined hands to deceive. Good things are used by the emperor, but privately.

"It's really that good?"

Gu Siwei couldn't help but glanced at the bed on the ground.

"The material is good and the workmanship is good. Our family used to have this kind of bed, but the workmanship is much worse than this one. My grandfather still held that bed as a treasure at that time. Unfortunately, it was burned," Wu Meiling said with a sigh.

"It's just something that people have slept on. Who knows if anyone died on it?" Gu Siwei said.

Wu Meiling looked at Gu Siwei with the eyes of a fool: "Do you think the bed is for sleeping? This kind of bed was a kind of property in the past. When the house was raided, it was kept in a book, and later it was collected. Whoever really sleeps on this kind of bed is used as a treasure!"

Gu Siwei really didn't know that such a precious bed was mostly property in the past and was kept in the warehouse of the home. This thing is like a brand-name bag decades later, even if it is second-hand or third-hand, people are rushing to buy it.

What is better than brand-name bags is that this kind of bed only keeps its value like gold when it is raised but not lowered.Especially in the prosperous age, this thing is much more valuable than gold.

Hearing what Wu Meiling said, Gu Siwei smiled and said, "I have no way to stay here. I said I would send it to someone else."

When Gu Siwei heard what Wu Meiling said, he was really interested in this bed, but he couldn't say that he wanted to keep it. After decades of this thing, Zheng Youcai, the nephew, regretted it, and brought a watch to the door and asked him to return it. How can he play with it?
So Gu Siwei simply used the excuse of selling it, even if it was [-] million at the auction, they would have no way to recognize it.

It can't be said that Gu Siwei is taking advantage of this, but with the current market, it is impossible for Lao Gu to say that this thing will be worth 500 million in a few decades. You will suffer a bit, and I will buy it for [-] million.

Isn't that stupid.
