Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

Early the next morning, Hu Yanqiu was busy steaming the steamed buns. Sicui lit the fire. She kneaded the dough, divided the ingredients, and finally put it on the steamer. She did everything with her own hands.

Gu Siwei really became the hands-off shopkeeper.

It may also be because there is nothing difficult in the world, so long as he is serious, Hu Yanqiu's steamed buns are quite successful. At least in steaming buns, his current level exceeds that of Gu Siwei.

Perhaps it was the steamed buns that suddenly opened up the Rendu line and awakened Hu Yanqiu's talent for pasta. Next, Hu Yanqiu made pancakes, steamed buns and other things with style.

The only pity person is Gu Siwei, because he is considered a southerner and can eat pasta for one or two meals without any problem. Now that he eats it every day, it is a bit difficult for him.

Seeing his wife so excited, it was hard for him to say anything.

And there is no way to say it. Everyone is happy, but you are the only one who wants to eat rice? Gu Siwei himself felt a little fucked up.

Although this is a legitimate request.

Five people gathered around the table, each holding a cucumber vegetarian bun. In front of them were fried celery shredded pork and tomatoes with scrambled eggs.

At this time, the standard on the table at home is already considered a very high standard. Even Qiao Qisheng's family does not always have such a standard.

But Gu Siwei had a hard time.

For the same reason, Gu Siwei hadn't eaten rice for several days, and he couldn't swallow it when he saw pasta.

This is not to say that the buns made by Hu Yanqiu are not delicious. To be honest, the buns are quite good. The cucumber filling is added with crushed fried peanuts. The most important thing is that there is also oil residue in it. Let alone this era of lack of food and clothing. Well, even after a few decades, the taste is still quite good.

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

At this moment, Old Man Li was holding the buns in his arms and performing a two-bite-one-bao show next to the table. While eating, he was praising Hu Yanqiu's craftsmanship.

“There’s no way to say how good this bun is. At this old age, this bun is the best!”

Old Man Li set the tone, and Old Man Yu was not idle either, he also followed up with praises.

The two old men have no problem eating anything. As long as they are full, they will eat it happily even if it is stuffed with leaves.

Even Sicui nodded and praised: "Sister-in-law, the buns you make are getting more and more delicious. They are much more delicious than those made by my brother. He can make meat buns and three-inch buns, but the dough is too thin." The dough is not as good as yours, and the stuffing is not as good as yours. I am afraid that only sister-in-law Mei Ling in the whole village can match it..."

Little flattery!

Gu Siwei looked at his sister and cursed in his heart.

Hu Yanqiu was so praised that he said with a smile: "How about we eat steamed buns tonight? I see that the gourds we planted are also ripe. Let's eat steamed buns with silk gourds tonight."

"good!"

Sicui nodded like a kowtowing insect just dug out of the ground.

Old Man Li and Old Man Yu also loudly agreed.

Hu Yanqiu's eyes then fell on Gu Siwei.

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

"Okay, let's eat cucurbit buns that night. Later I will go and discuss with Sister-in-law Meiling about what to use to make the buns with the cucurbits. Either the two families will be together, or if the two families are together, I will bring it to my uncle's house. This way If the three of them work together, it will save a lot of effort..."

Who knew that Hu Yanqiu had no intention of asking Gu Siwei for his opinion and decided the matter directly.

ah!

Gu Siwei was a little confused.

Hu Yanqiu saw Gu Siwei's expression and asked, "Do you have any suggestions about gourd shredded stuffing?"

"No no!"

Gu Siwei thought that she should not suggest it. If she didn't suggest it, she could still discuss it with Sister-in-law Meiling, and at least she would have some basis for it. If he suggested it and let her use it, Gu Siwei felt that she might have to come up with something new to try.

Gu Siwei was thinking about how to run away. At this time, he suddenly missed Hong Kong City, but he had already thrown out the words. He said that he could not find any reason to go to Hong Kong City in advance. How to explain it?

Besides, Hu Yanqiu 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. He is about to die.

During the meal, Gu Siwei spent almost half of his time thinking about some excuse not to eat at home at night.

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

Before the meal was finished, shouts came from Yinsongya.

"Brother, I'm calling you!"

Sicui's ears were very sharp. As soon as she heard it, she heard someone calling Gu Siwei's name below the cliff. As soon as she heard the title, she knew that the person coming 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 the 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?"

Asked Liu Dezhu at the bottom of the cliff.

Liu Dezhu said: "I won't go up. Well, brother Siwei, my master's bed has been brought over, so you can come over and take a look at each other."

"good!"

Gu Siwei's spirits perked up after hearing this, and he immediately had an idea in his mind.

"Wait a minute, I'll tell you when I get back and I'll be there right away." Gu Siwei said to Liu Dezhu, and without waiting for his answer, he trotted back with him all the way.

"Well, you guys eat! I have something going on here."

After saying that, he turned to Hu Yanqiu and said, "I may come back later tonight, so you don't have to keep mine while eating. I made an appointment for someone else."

"Is there still business at this time?"

Old man Yu said something strange.

Gu Siwei ignored him and walked away after speaking to Hu Yanqiu.

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

"Are you coming back tonight?" Hu Yanqiu asked.

Gu Siwei said: "It may be a little late to come back."

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

Jogging closely, by the time she reached the edge of the cliff, Gu Siwei had already run far away in the boat.

"What's so urgent is like burning your buttocks."

Hu Yanqiu muttered something and went back with the short gun.

Gu Siwei released the boat all the way to Liu Guo's dock.

Far away, a group of people appeared in Gu Siwei's sight, about five or six, some of whom he knew, such as Liu Fulin and Guo Shengshou, and the remaining three were unknown, but some The two looked familiar, and he could tell at a glance that they were from the same village, but he couldn't tell which team they were from.

When he got closer, Gu Siwei discovered that one of the features was very similar to Zheng Youcai's nephew Zheng Lixin. Needless to say, this must be Zheng Youcai's same clan.

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

Everyone only exchanged two or three polite words before getting down to business.

"This is something, look at it!"

Zheng Youcai pointed at a pile of wooden components placed casually next to the dock.

"How can I see this thing? This is really difficult for me." Gu Siwei looked at the wooden components on the ground with a bitter look on his face.

He had no interest in these ancient furniture in the first place, but now that they were dismantled like this, he could see something strange!

"Let's get started and put things together simply. There is no need to actually put them together. Just put up a general structure..." Zheng Youcai said to his nephews.

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

At this time, Wu Meiling waved to Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei then came 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 is red sandalwood, and the workmanship is clearly from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. However, it is not used by the royal family according to the regulations, but in terms of workmanship, it is not worse at all than that used by the royal family, and is even better. This bed To be honest, if I had a watch, I would also buy it.”

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

Wu Meiling laughed after hearing this and said: "No one in the past dynasties has done much to deceive the emperor. For example, Qianlong, Daoguang and Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty were all deceived. An egg cost more than ten taels of silver. The courtiers and eunuchs joined hands to deceive. It's a good thing." The emperor used it, but the things used by powerful ministers in private were not as good as the emperor in terms of specifications, but they were better than the emperor in terms of precision, because the emperor was easy to deceive, and these people are not easy to fool."

"Is it really that good?"

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

"The material is good and the workmanship is good. We used to have this kind of bed in our house, but the workmanship is much worse than this one. My father still held that bed as a treasure at the time, but it was a pity that it was burned," Wu Meiling said with emotion. .

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

Wu Meiling looked at Gu Siwei with a look that looked like a fool: "Do you think the bed is for sleeping? In the past, this kind of bed was a kind of property. When the house was raided, it was kept in a book. Later, it was collected. Who really sleeps on this kind of bed? They are all used as treasures!”

Gu Siwei really didn't know that such a precious bed was mostly property in the past and kept in the warehouse at home. This thing is like a brand-name bag decades later. Even if it is second-hand or third-hand, there are still people grabbing it. bought.

What's better than the famous brand bags is that this kind of bed only maintains its value like gold when it is raised but not lowered. Especially in the prosperous times, this thing is much more valuable than gold.

Hearing what Wu Meiling said, Gu Siwei smiled and said: "I can't keep it here. I said I would send it to others."

When Gu Siwei heard what Wu Meiling said, he was really interested in the bed, but it was impossible to say that he wanted to keep it. After decades, Zheng Youcai's nephew regretted it and brought a watch to the door, asking him to return it. Well, how can you still play with it?

So Gu Siwei simply used the excuse of selling it. Even if it was 200 million at auction, there would be nothing they could do to recognize it.

It cannot be said that Gu Siwei took advantage of this, but with the current market situation, it is impossible for Lao Gu to say that this thing will be worth 100 million in a few decades. You will suffer some losses, and I will buy it for 5 million.

Isn't that so damn stupid?
