Chapter 62: The Origin of Bragging

This kind of farce is really unique to Su Village, but the people of Su Village have a consensus, we can spray each other, and others want to spray us, go to spray together, and take a stool together.

Chen Fan looked at the time, it was only ten o'clock, and the meeting ended in less than thirty minutes, just because of an alliance.

Originally, everyone didn't want to listen to He Shen's meeting here, originally planned, everyone exchanged entrepreneurial experiences with each other, now it's okay, He Shen ruined everything, he regretted it, he would never form the Sucun Alliance again in this life, he wanted to join the Zhejiang Village Chamber of Commerce.

The purpose of most people coming is very simple, clichés, to see if they can be used, Chen Fan knows that Liu Yingying can't arrange a high-end banquet for herself, because you can't enter that kind of banquet if you don't have a value of more than 100 million, unless your parents can enjoy special allowances after retirement.

The tens of millions worth is just like this banquet, and it is very, very important to break through 100 million yuan, because of uncertainty and risk, as He Shen said at the beginning, it can last for ten years, and if you really are worth more than 100 million, you have a cash flow of 100 million, and you are not an empty shelf, you have basically survived, even if the company goes bankrupt, there is still a way back.

And people worth tens of millions often say to the outside world that they are worth more than 100 million, and then borrow more than 100 million yuan in banks and various private loans, which is dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will directly have nothing, and even your family will be ruined.

He Shen quickly recovered his demeanor, and he could only go the least wanted to go, and see which one could be used, but He Shen couldn't look down on any of these people, because there was no other cow, a person didn't like to socialize and socialize, as long as he became better, others would have to adapt to your way.

He Shen sat there, and someone talked to him one after another, and the dinner started very hastily, He Shen didn't make a speech, and everyone held their wine glasses to find the target they wanted to communicate.

Chen Fan stood there looking at He Shen, he was wondering if He Shen wanted to end this banquet quickly.

Some things are not what you want to do, Sucun Alliance, there have been people who want to do it since ancient times, and the only one who has become is Boss Liu, it is estimated that Boss Liu also said to King Chu at that time: "How about joining me Da Xu?"

The Overlord of Chu may have replied, "Isn't it good for you to join me in the dormitory?"

Fang Ting and her brother were talking and laughing with a group of young people, this group of people should be a small circle, but they may not have had much communication before, and this time they can form a game to jump around.

"Why is the handsome guy drinking here alone, in the past, everyone was young. A woman in her twenties, twenty-five or six, wearing a black evening dress, walked up to Chen Fan and said.

Chen Fan noticed that the woman just now seemed to be wearing her hair, glasses, and a suit, looking very formal, and now she has put on makeup, curled her hair with a curling iron, and changed into a very convex evening dress.

This made Chen Fan feel that this woman was not simple, and she could quickly switch identities.

"My name is Chen Fan, and I am very happy to be invited by such a beautiful lady. Chen Fan said with a smile.

"My name is Lu Yan, let's go over together, everyone is young, and the conversation may be more topical. ”

Chen Fan followed Lu Yan to Fang Ting's group of young people, and glanced at them, four women and six men, all of whom were under the age of thirty, and they were all dressed very fashionably.

"Everyone, I would like to introduce you to a new friend, Chen Fan. Lu Yan walked into the crowd and introduced.

“······” Embarrassed that no one spoke, because everyone was just familiar with each other, and a stranger was added, this group of young people is usually not a people-pleasing personality, if it weren't for Chen Fan's handsomeness, it is estimated that they would have already shown disgusted faces.

"Chen Fan, let me introduce to you, these two are brothers and sisters, Fang Qiang and Fang Ting, brother and sister, the family is in the clothing business, and the main business is currently in the online channel, this is Hu Kai, who makes food at home, and is currently mainly engaged in offline ·····channels."

Lu Yan introduced a circle, then looked at Chen Fan and said, "You can also introduce yourself." ”

Chen Fan listened to Lu Yan's introduction of these rich second generations, and his family was engaged in this and that at every turn, what was his own family engaged in? Grandma likes to say that grandpa brags all day long, and mom also likes to say that dad loves to brag.

This is all the information in Chen Fan's memory, is the family engaged in bragging?

Tell them about the origin of bragging? Everyone says bragging, but how many of them know the origin?

"Bragging" is a common saying commonly used by Chinese folks, and the present meaning refers to "saying big things and boasting". So, where did this proverb and its usage come about?

According to expert research, the word "bragging" originated in the upper reaches of the Yellow River in China. The water is turbulent, the beach is treacherous, and it is difficult to sail. In ancient times, when bridge traffic was not developed, people living along the upper reaches of the Yellow River came up with a way to solve the problem of river crossing transportation: using rafts instead of boats. Before the 50s of the 20th century, rafts had always been an important means of transportation for people living in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, where railways had not yet been opened and road traffic was inconvenient.

The practice of the raft is roughly as follows: when slaughtering, first try to peel off the whole fur of the sheep or cow, then remove the whole fur with salt water, then apply vegetable oil to its limbs and neck, soak it in water, expose it to the sun, make it soft, sew it with a thin rope into a bag, leave only a small hole, and after blowing enough, seal the small hole, and then tie several leather bags with wooden slats, and the raft is completed.

In ancient times, people didn't have such things as pumps and pumps, and there was only one way to inflate a raft - blow it with your mouth. The sheepskin bag is small in size and can be blown directly by mouth. But even sheepskin bags can only be blown by people who are very strong and have a lot of lung capacity. Due to the large volume of the cowhide bag, it cannot be blown directly by mouth.

Therefore, in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, if someone says that he can blow a cowhide bag, people will think that he is talking big, and when the residents there are impatient with other people's boastful words and deeds, they will often say to them: "If you have the ability, go to the Yellow River to brag about it!" Over time, "bragging" gradually became synonymous with "boasting and talking big", and gradually spread.

Another explanation for bragging: from the butcher. In the past, when pigs and sheep were slaughtered, and after the blood was drained, the butcher would make a small cut in the leg of the pig and sheep near the hoof, insert an iron bar into it and poke it, and then put his mouth up and blow hard until the whole body of the pig and sheep swelled. In this way, it will be convenient when peeling, and with a slight pull with a knife, the skin will crack on its own. It's called blowing a pig or a sheep. If you use this method against a cow, it is called bragging.

But when slaughtering cattle, butchers rarely use this method, because the cow is huge, the skin is very tough, and the subcutaneous fat is small, to blow up the whole cow, it is necessary to have extremely strong diaphragm and huge lung capacity, which is absolutely human. Whoever says he can brag, then he is 99.99% "bragging"!

"Bragging" is also called "bragging", but people who do not know its origin, in order to further strengthen its derogatory meaning, even refer to it as "bragging B" or abbreviating it as "bull B"; because this last word is often replaced by "×" in writing, some people now say that "bragging" is "bull fork".

But bragging is indeed another profession in distant Africa, literally, in order to help the cow aphrodisiac and the cow produce better milk.

"Our family makes dairy products in Africa, and we are mainly responsible for the source of milk. Chen Fan said.
