Chapter 178: Good Stuff

Fortunately, after all, the Hong family still has people who know the goods, and they don't blindly only have negative opinions. The old man Hong Lucheng was very happy to see these cars.

"What? It's less than 400 in total? Well, I used to have a car like this, and I didn't lose money. These are all good things, not to mention buying them back then, it costs a lot of money to rent a day. Okay, third. I didn't expect you to have this hobby, playing with foreign cars. But I want to ask you, what brand of these cars you bought, do you know them all?"

I didn't expect my father to be so interested. Of course, Hong Yanwu had to show it, so he told what he knew. "These two are British crested cars, this is the British antelope, these two are probably German cars, I don't know what brand they are. ”

Unexpectedly, Hong Lucheng laughed out loud as soon as he heard it. "Haha, you're a rare kid. What kind of crested head? That's the common people themselves, and the proper name of this brand is 'British Lanling.'" Because it is located in Landing Street, Nottingham, England. However, it is good to know the crested crested and to know the antelope. I'm afraid that not many young people of your generation even understand this. ”

"Dad, then you can give me some pointers. What kind of cars are the other two?" Hong Yanwu saw his father chatting with him for the first time, so he hurried to ask for advice.

Don't really say it, it is precisely because of this sentence of humbly asking for advice, after listening to Hong Lucheng's detailed introduction, Hong Yanwu really gained insight. Looking at these cars again, his own mood is different.

Dare to play with "crested cars" is also exquisite.

In fact, the "crested cars" that left the factory a few decades ago were not fully equipped, with no lights and bells, and only a small number of cars were equipped with miniature air pipes. Everything has to be picked up by the car riders themselves.

Specifically, the front of the "crested car" must be equipped with German "Bosch" headlights.

The car bell has to be the tiger head bell in the "postal" bell.

It also comes with a Dutch chrome rear hanger, and it's even better if it's a double stand.

Finally, it was necessary to install the "Miller" rear taillights and the "Dunlop" tires, commonly known as the "old headband", to be considered perfect.

And when these accessories are added together, the price can already be comparable to that of a car.

In addition, Hong Yanwu originally thought that "Crested" and "Three Guns" were the best bicycles in the UK. In fact, among the cars he bought, the most precious ones were the two cars he didn't recognize.

Of the two bicycles, only one is made in Germany, called "Diamond". The other is still British-made and is called "Hamburg". Of all the old cars, this one is the biggest.

Because this bicycle was the first to be produced by the British "Dunlop" company in 1938, and then assembled from parts produced in the Netherlands, Ireland and the United Kingdom, it was discontinued in 1953.

Absolute things are rare and expensive, and the surviving quantity must be particularly rare.

In addition, the upper part of the logo is the British royal emblem, the lower half is a five-person hand design, the same shape as the wheel wheel of its car, and the English words "designated by George VI" in the middle.

To put it bluntly, this is the British royal family, can it be the same as an ordinary car?

As soon as it sticks to the royal spirit, it must have confirmed its top position in British cycling. It's not BMW and Daben, it's Bentley!

So as soon as he heard it, Hong Yanwu made a decision.

This car can't be ridden, so it's left at home. Otherwise, it's really lost, where can I find it?

Then he pondered again, "Dad, you're okay anyway, after the holidays, how about you help me find the accessories for these two crested cars? ”

Hong Lu was happy. "You're still thinking about calling your own father. Am I so idle?"

Hong Yanwu hurriedly patted his ass. "Knowledge is power, and I'm not a mallet. There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure. That's true. Just, I'm done with you, can't I ride a crested head?"

Hong Lucheng finally nodded and half-jokingly agreed. "Okay, but let's talk about it first, the money for accessories has to be deducted from your money. Sensei wants to take advantage of me, let me take another two hundred to enter......"

I don't know that Hong Yanwu also has to sell cheaply, his neck is stalked, and his opinions are too big.

"Dad, I know you're good at it. But it is natural for the son to eat Lao Tzu. If nothing else, I still have to kowtow to you for this New Year. There is a good saying that as soon as the New Year begins, the child greets the New Year, kneels down and kowtows, and gets up to ask for money. If you don't have money, you can turn around and leave. It's not going to mean you......"

"Hey, who's going to run? Besides, you're too expensive. Forget it, I'm not looking at you, I'm looking at this car......"

Look, it's evil enough.

This is not only the first time that the father and son, who have been frowning at each other for 20 years, have reached a consensus on one thing. They're boking each other like never before......

After talking about the Hong family's own purchase, I have to talk about the New Year's gift.

The overall situation this year was also better than last year.

Because not only the Hong family's own situation has improved, but everyone else is also "walking" upward.

Needless to say, Shou Jingfang is a powerful person himself.

Every year, he just goes to the Summer Palace to collect some "motherwort" and goes to the Old Summer Palace to pick some "He Shou Wu", which is enough to make himself eat and drink.

Now that he has returned a lot of belongings, he is even more generous in his hands, and the New Year's gift is very face-saving.

Before the festival, he sent Shou Zhen to send four bottles of "tiger bone wine" and four "Tianfu" sauce elbows. In addition, there are two small jars of "autumn pear paste", two cans of "sweet sauce black cabbage" and two cans of "sweet sauce eight treasure vegetables".

This is in duplicate, both the Hong family and the Wanyan family. The main reason is that Shou Jingfang was too busy before the festival, and he was afraid that people from "Longkou Village" would not be able to meet if they didn't rush to meet, so in order to be safe, he asked Hong's family to hand it over.

Among these things, such as the expensive "tiger bone wine" and the sauce elbow of the famous "Tianfu" in the capital, everyone knows what kind of gift it is.

But I also looked down on the "autumn pear paste" and two jars of pickles. It's a really good thing, it's also a rare good thing.

Why do you say that? Because the "autumn pear paste" is the same as the sour plum soup in summer, which is also made by Shou Jingfang himself.

It is made with fritillary and poria cocos, which is mixed with honey. It is a secret recipe of the palace, which has a name, called "Lingbei Autumn Pear Paste".

If compared with the traditional "autumn pear paste" of the old "Tong Sanyi", not only the taste is not bad, but also in terms of nutrition, in nourishing yin and moisturizing the lungs, nourishing the lungs and relieving cough, coughing and phlegm The effect is even worse, and eating it in winter can also prevent colds.

As for the two pickles, they are the time-honored "Tianyuan Sauce Garden" whose name has been changed to "Tianyuan Sauce Garden", a traditional product that has just been restored.

"Sweet sauce black cabbage" is made with melons from Jingnan and almonds from the northern suburbs, with shredded ginger and sweet noodle sauce. The finished product is dark brown, can be fried or soup, or eaten fresh.

"Eight treasures of sweet sauce" is also known as "eight treasures of fruit ingredients", and more than eight kinds of ingredients are selected, so it is called "eight treasures".

The raw materials are blue slices, cucumbers, lotus root slices, ginger, lentils, cowpeas, silver sprouts, peanut kernels, walnut kernels, almonds, etc., and the finished product is reddish-brown after the sauce is excited.

Both of these side dishes are high-end pickles, and due to the fine ingredients, they are not products that can be enjoyed by the poor public. It has been disappearing from the capital for many years, and this year it just started to sell before the festival.

As soon as it was listed, it was discovered by Nengshou Jingfang and sent to the Hong family and the Wanyan family to try it, and it must be said that it was really a blessing.

The situation in "Longkou Village" is also good.

Zhaoqing was inserted into the production team department by his father-in-law and made a paperwork. I have already eaten the public food every month.

Coupled with Hong Yanwu's cash help and monthly egg supplements, he was not nervous at all in his married life, and he did not delay taking medicine and curing his illness. Nowadays, the health is quite good.

And the brothers and sons of the An family followed the mixture and poured eggs to make no less money, and they made up a hundred yuan for the family in two months.

This makes Xiaoqin's second uncle very happy. After killing the New Year's pig for this matter, he specially sent half a pair of pork ribs to the Yan family. A pig's head.

Besides, Secretary An went up to the mountains to hunt a few days ago and hunted a roe deer and a lot of rabbits. What's more, this time Zhaoqing entered Beijing to give New Year's gifts to the Hong and Shou families, and there were too many things he wanted to take. He had to bring the "sun" and "moon" of Anjia to the capital.

Half a roe deer, a pig's head, eight rabbits, and two jars of pickled eggs. 400 fresh eggs. In addition, Yuntai brewed two jars of soju and two catties of homemade "golden cake". There are also two catties of homemade "sugar melons" at Secretary An's house.

Such things, even if they are shared by young men, are tired enough.

As soon as the servants arrived at Hong's house, they all slipped out and slipped to the ground. At noon that day, just fried the noodles, this brother and son did three catties, and ate two large bowls of stew.

But hard work is hard work, but these things they send are really welcome. Whether it is game or eggs, it is the most lacking in the city.

Even the last two sustenances made by Yuntai are not ordinary things. In fact, the "Lingbei autumn pear paste" sent by Shou Jingfang has the same wonder.

Let's talk about the wine first, just after entering the house for a while, Xu Manli came over to ask. Her family used to be a wine merchant, and she grew up smelling wine. It's a good thing, and it can't escape her nose.

Sure enough, the earth roast is not an ordinary local wine, but a family heirloom brewed by the Wanyan family. It's called "Manden incense".

It is brewed from white flour, glutinous rice flour, melon, cloves, atractylodes, lotus, wood, white sandalwood, shrunken sand kernels, herbs, licorice, etc.

The taste of the finished wine is mellow, and it has a strange aroma more than the usual liquor, and if you really want to open it, this room must be full of wine fragrance, as if it has been sprinkled with perfume.

In addition, the "golden cake" is commonly known as the "hawthorn cake". Don't look at it as a more common thing in the capital. But the color of the things bought outside is dark and red, similar to the peel of fruit dan, and the taste is also terrible, which is very unworthy of the name.

Only Yoon-tae, who is good at eating, has consulted with people from the Internal Affairs Office when he was young and learned a unique processing method. The "golden cake" made is like gold. Sweet and sour, just right.

Shou Jingfang is a person who knows the goods, and he praised it directly, saying that such a "golden cake" can really be called a qualified palace treasure. It's authentic.

And in private, Zhaoqing didn't forget to tell Hong Yanwu, saying that he collected things for him, and the money was less than two hundred. I have already received dozens of pieces, large and small.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, teapots and bowls were the majority, as well as porcelain pots, porcelain plates, tea cans, bottles, etc., all of which passed through his father's palm. More than half of them have money underneath.

The best thing is a bronze Warring States candelabra and a black glazed puru bottle from the Jin Dynasty.

It's just that his father resolutely refuses to accept the Ming device, saying that it is unlucky and detrimental to Yin Virtue.

Regarding this last point, Hong Yanwu said that he understands very much. In fact, such a big harvest has made him very happy, but he is afraid that his uncle and cousin will save him money. So in the end, it was easy to talk about it, and he gave Zhaoqing a thousand yuan of funds.
