Chapter 232: The Devil's Sweep
After Xia Mili and Karimi returned to Yan County at noon, they were idle, and went around the path on the side of the compound to the newly built wall in the north to check the situation, and they ran into an elderly villager from Daiwang Village who came here to herd sheep. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There are not many local sheep breeders in Yan County, and there are not many mutton in the vegetable market - there is only one mutton stall in a county town, and the mutton is still cooked!
Don't be surprised, it's not only cooked, it's also cold, this is the characteristic of Yanxian mutton: buy a piece of vegetables, cut it and put it on a plate, it's a cold dish at all, and you can eat it with some soy sauce.
There won't be many refrigerators, and there are no high-end appliances in the market, so people in this county can only eat some mutton after the cold weather, and there is no place to buy it in summer.
As for raw mutton, it is not bought all year round, and many people in Yanxian County do not know what raw mutton looks like so far, but live sheep have seen it.
Xia Mili and Karimi love to eat mutton, and they don't pay so much attention to it when they have been soldiers, and they also eat mutton that is not so clean-real Yanxian mutton, but it is not the taste they are used to.
I wanted to make some mutton by myself and had nowhere to buy it, so I finally bumped into a sheep farmer, so I deliberately set it off: Don't look at the Mandarin on one side is enough to choke, and the ability of the two Tajik guys to listen to the dialect of Yan County is also miserable for the time being, but even the two sides are talking quite warmly.
Karimi and the two were kind when they saw the sheep, although the goats in the county were different from the sheep in their hometown in the Pamirs, but it still made the two miss the taste of their hometown even more.
The sheep raiser is to raise some sheep to subsidize the family, living not far from here, knowing that there are a few "gringos" in this original naval base, as soon as I hear that the "foreigner" wants to buy sheep, no problem, we always have to sell a few sheep every year.
I was going to sell it before the Spring Festival in another month, but now I want to buy it at a reasonable price, anyway, I don't have much fat during this time: I don't need to weigh it, there are experts on both sides, and I know the approximate weight when I look at the sheep.
When he came back after seeing the situation of the wall, Shamili was holding a goat that looked very good.
Preparing to roast the whole sheep, the original sheep raiser can also help slaughter it, but the two of them don't need to be given this free service - Karimi is a good sheep killer when he is two teenagers.
It is said that the whole sheep is roasted, but in fact, half of it is roasted, and the other half is cut into large pieces and stewed in a large pot, and when it is cooked, it is eaten with a little salt, which is the eating habit of the Tajik people.
And it's not appropriate to eat it all roasted: this goat is not as good as a sheep when roasted, and it is more woody.
As for sheep, not to mention now, even if it is another 30 years, the vast majority of people in Yan County have never seen what sheep look like, and what they see on TV does not count.
Seeing that the two were still cleaning up the sheep's internal organs, Zhang Nan felt very strange and asked, "Didn't you say that it is forbidden to eat animal offal?"
Karimi said while cleaning: "Boss, I don't know about the others, but Xia Mili and I have been eating sheep since we were children, and the blood is washed." β
Zhang Nan thought about it: there were so many halal restaurants in his previous life, and there were many people who drank haggis soup.
There are some things that I don't understand.
Karimi's two skills are really great, and there is even cumin in the condiments prepared, which is estimated to have been brought from Western Xinjiang, and now this spice cannot be bought in Jiangnan Province at all!
A group of people didn't start eating until nearly six o'clock, and the meal was eaten until almost eight o'clock in the evening, and in the middle Alyosha and Shamil also danced a few local dances, which attracted a round of applause.
But there is one thing very interesting: Alyosha took a bottle of Moutai handed to him by Xiang Weirong, and he didn't use a cup, and he finished the bottle in a few bites, and he still looked like a nobody.
And Chamili and Karimi are not drunk.
"I don't drink alcohol at home, and I generally prohibit drinking when I am a soldier, and I am even more so on duty. β
It was Karimi who spoke, because Zhang Nan drank some dry white before, and asked Karimi about the eating habits of the two by the way: I feel that these two are also very easy to deal with, and they are not so particular about it.
"Alyosha generally doesn't drink alcohol in the army, unless the squad leader or Brother Guan gives it. But this guy is actually fine if he drinks alcohol, drinking liquor is like drinking boiled water, this Moutai can drink several bottles, and it's okay at all. β
I understand: if my brother-in-law gives him wine, it means that he can drink it with his heart.
Zhang Nan deliberately tried it and took a bottle of vodka from the wine cabinet for Alyosha, but the big man smiled and signaled not to.
"Anan, if you want to give it, give it to Moutai, this kid doesn't like vodka at all, he's Chinese......"
Originally, I thought that because I was the boss, Alyosha didn't drink much or give it because of work, but in the end, I didn't like vodka at all.
The brother-in-law told Zhang Nan in private: As long as he gave Alyosha liquor, it means that the big man can be released to drink, and there is nothing else to do today.
At the last meal, Alyosha drank three bottles alone, and sure enough, he was like a nobody.
Well deserved the name!
......
At 6 o'clock in the morning of the 27th, Zhang Nan's Lincoln car drove out of the mountaintop compound with the Cherokee, and before that, two eight-ton semi-trailers had left the parking lot of the material bureau convoy an hour in advance.
Complaining again about the poor road conditions now, it takes at least 7 hours to get to Shanghai, even if you drive the little yellow finch on Long Island!
It was Li Panfeng who drove for Zhang Nan, Alyosha sat in the co-pilot, and Lin Ming, Xia Mili and Karimi on the Cherokee, as for Liu Wendong and Qiu Bo, although they were on shift in the past few days, they also set off with the truck first.
Later today, two people will need to escort the car back to Yan County, and by the way, help the driver drive for a few hours.
Brother-in-law and Brother Guan don't go to Shanghai together this time: Recently, the company has been busy, and they can't all follow Zhang Nan to fool around.
I'm really right, I'm going to "rob" and pick up girls.
But for Zhang Nan, it's not a fool's errand, but for some people, it is!
When Zhang Nan and his entourage appeared at the gate of the Shanghai cultural relics store at two o'clock in the afternoon, a store staff member rushed into the manager's office and said loudly: "Manager, the guy who had an ammunition depot at home last time is here again, and he is also carrying two big trucks!"
When the manager heard this, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh: after a few months, the artifact store finally recovered a little, and the guy still came!
People are coming, and they can't stop them from buying, and they pay real dollars.
As soon as the manager arrived at Hall 1, he happened to hear the young man say to the people who came together: "We are here to sweep this time, just these few doors, Alyosha follows me, you are a few people in one hall, don't let the comrades in the cultural relics store change the price tag, we shouldn't ......be wronged."
The manager almost fainted without hearing!
Take the initiative. Greeting him, the manager showed a deputy smile: "Mr. Zhang, this time I came to buy antiques again." β
"Hmm. Zhang Nan can't remember what this surname is, last time he originally said that he would leave some good goods for himself, but because he ran away by accident, I don't know if this guy has called.
"Comrade manager, it's still the old rules, let's follow the label, and the comrades who want to keep accounts work hard. β
The manager showed an expression that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and finally held back a sentence: "Mr. Zhang, you have to raise your noble hand, why do you want to leave something for our store to support the faΓ§ade this time, right?"
"Okay, but I didn't seem to empty you last time, did I? Don't worry, next time I go to Liulichang, I still think your thing is expensive. β
As soon as the manager heard this, he complained in his stomach: You want all the official kilns, and you have all the calligraphy and paintings, so you left us a little messy miscellaneous items, which is still called not empty?
But he also quickly reacted: it seems that this time he is really here to move again!
If you can't escape, then honestly stretch your neck and get stabbed - on the bright side, at least you can make a lot of money.
Just like last time, the scanning of goods from one exhibition hall to one exhibition hall and one counter to the counter is faster than buying vegetables at the farmers' market: the price of things is clearly marked, and the price cannot be counter-offered, just click on it.
After more than an hour, everything placed outside was swept around, and Zhang Nan asked the manager: "Is there anything else in the warehouse?"
"It's gone. β
Looking at the crying and laughing manager comrade, Zhang Nan smiled mysteriously: "I will stay in Shanghai for a few days this time, or will I come back in a few days?"
It was a knife to stretch out and shrink the head, and the manager had to let people move a few more large boxes from the warehouse.
"I said big brother, don't come to harm us again, hurry up and go to the glass factory, they have a lot of things!"
Of course, the manager thinks about it, but he can't say it.
Zhang Nan is a good customer, he doesn't blink when he pays foreign exchange, but he is too arrogant!
The largest cultural relics store in the Far East can't stop him from doing this: this is not buying things at all, it is a devil's sweep!
The antiquities shop was swept to pieces, but the art carving factory that had called was happy to deliver the goods - they were not like the manager of the antiquities store, and there were a lot of finished ivory products in the factory during this time, which were sold for a good price.
It was not until four o'clock in the afternoon that the goods began to be loaded, but Zhang Nan threw the matter to Qiu Bo and several staff members who rushed from the Citibank office to pat their butts and leave.
Now Citibank treats Zhang Nan as a grandfather, and they know that this grandfather is worth a lot now, so they can't slack off.
Seven or eight people looked at the accounts and packing, and there was nothing wrong with them.
So what is this Zhang Nan going to do?
Hurry up to a studio chartered by Shanghai TV Station, where the indoor scene part of the TV series "Family Spring and Autumn" was filmed, and Zhang Li and Chen Xiaoxu were there.
Zhang Li told her boyfriend on the phone about this TV series, and it sounds like a relatively important drama.
However, Zhang Nan didn't have the impression of "Family Spring and Autumn" at all, he only knew that the author of the original work was Ba Jin, and he didn't know what he was talking about at all: in fact, he knew very little about literature, and the four famous novels were because he watched too much TV, and he was about to memorize them.
What made Zhang Nan complain the most was that there was no phone in the place where his girlfriend lived, and the last call was before going to Yongcheng.
But it's good, knowing where the shooting location is, this trip can be regarded as a surprise for the two girls. (To be continued.) )
