Chapter 294: There's Something Worse
It is not the 21st century, and foreigners are still a relatively new species in China, and no matter where they go, they are all under key protection, and they are also key monitoring objects. $(). ()(x). After arriving there, Chinese tourists are not allowed to take pictures or enter the homes of ordinary North Korean citizens, and they can only go around a few places allowed by the tour guide, otherwise they will have to be in big trouble.
In the same way, at this time, China's strength is limited compared to North Korea in the 21st century, especially on foreign issues, it is still very cautious. If Hong Tao gets a lot of foreigners to come to him, or mysteriously get together to smoke, drink and chat, no one will believe this thing, once it is misunderstood, then you have to go around without eating. And Hong Tao's cigars and foreign wine, if they are good, they were brought from abroad by a friend, and if they are ugly, they were smuggled in, and there is no boundary between the two.
Therefore, Hong Tao didn't plan to recruit a large group of people to do any smoking room or salon at all, if someone accompanied his wife to beauty and was willing to sit down for a while, then sit for a while, drink two sips, smoke one, chat or something, it doesn't matter. But Hong Tao doesn't plan to collect money, it's not that he doesn't collect money, but he can't collect money according to the number of times you spend and Cheng dù, he plans to also engage in a membership system, pay membership fees, and the purpose of joining the club is to appreciate the Ming and Qing Dynasty furniture, porcelain paintings, and those cigars and red wine are free to enjoy.
Of course, this membership price will not be the price of cabbage. If you don't come to 1,800 a year, don't bother with it. Whether someone will be the big one, Hong Tao is not sure. Someone can come, no one comes better, this is his purpose, in fact, even if someone comes, he doesn't have so much effort to chat with them, he still has to go to school, and have his own things to do.
Once inside the gate, the entire hall is rectangular. The décor is simple, with dark brown wool carpets and dark wooden walls. In the middle is a lounge with a bar against the wall. In the middle is a circle of sand, surrounded by some ancient Ming and Qing dynasty furniture, and on the far right is a large empty space, and a funnel-shaped wooden lampshade hangs from the roof. It looks like there should be a pool table there. According to Hong Tao's plan, there will be two pinball tables in the corner of the wall, but they have not yet arrived.
On the left side of the hall is a moon door with carved partitions, which does not look new, but is very quaint and a little broken in some places. This thing was also exchanged for the second master, because the original house was going to be renovated into a modern building, the owner of the house found the second master. I want to sell a room of Qing Dynasty furniture. After the second master saw it, he was not very interested. Because there is no fine product in the furniture in his house, it is all big goods, but when he was looking at the furniture, the second master unexpectedly realized that the carving of the moon door partition was very good, and the wood was also high-quality, which was a good thing.
So the second master talked to the seller for a long time, and finally bought seven or eight pieces of furniture, and then bought the moon gate partition and the beams and three columns of the house at the cabbage price. This moon gate partition happened to be used by Hong Tao in his new gadget shop, and the girder and three columns could be used to repair the main houses in the courtyard he bought.
Behind the moon gate, there is Hong Tao's private office and lounge, which are also placed with Ming and Qing dynasty furniture, but the quality is much higher than in the hall outside. These are the quasi-fine products that have passed through the second master's will, not only the wood is good, the year is long, the workmanship, style, and regulation have to be of high grade, unlike the furniture placed in the hall, they look bluffing, in fact, they are all road goods, and some are still imitated during the Republic of China.
After Hong Tao entered the house, he walked straight to the wardrobe behind the desk, and then got into it from the side of the wardrobe, it turned out that there was a small channel behind the wardrobe, and there was a small door on the ground of the lane, and after opening the small door, there was a downward staircase, which led directly to the basement.
At this time, the basement is completely different from when he learned to dance a month ago, and the originally empty hall has been set up with three rows of wooden shelves more than one person high, and the wine and cigars that Hong Tao bought from Ralph are placed on these shelves, but according to the number, if he wants to fill these shelves, I am afraid he will have to give Ralph a lot of money, which is enough for Ralph to work for a year or two.
In addition to the wine rack, there are also some furniture wrapped in straw rope in the remaining space, these are some fine furniture that the second master picked out from the warehouse, after packaging, it will be stored in this basement until they can be used, or sold at a suitable price, and the other part of the furniture that has been acquired over the years is still placed in the warehouse on the second floor.
To say that the second master is really discerning, he not only bought furniture, but also saw good porcelain, calligraphy and painting, he also took it, and even the beams, door panels and wood that he could see were also brought back, Hong Tao also saw two large clay jars with a diameter of more than one meter in the warehouse, and they were also carved with flower and bird patterns, which were also taken back by the second master, he said that this thing had long been discontinued, and he could not find it in the future, and he was ready to put Hong Tao in the yard to raise fish to play, in fact, they were originally fish tanks.
Picked out a bottle of red wine born in the same year as himself, Hong Tao returned to the office, took off his shoes, leaned on the couch, it was still very comfortable, especially the fur on the couch, which was specially made for him by Liu Bai, it was spliced together with several wolf skins and fox skins, and the place where he sat was coarse and hard short hair, surrounded by soft long hair, which felt very good and warm.
Taking a sip of wine, a puff of cigarettes, and humming a little song in his mouth, Hong Tao felt that it was not very fulfilling, so he turned over and stayed at the house, turned on the TV in the house, and planned to see what programs could kill time.
"You carry the burden...... I led the horse ......" just changed the channel, and a very familiar song suddenly came out of the TV, Hong Tao lay next to the TV and looked carefully.
"Hey...... It turned out to be a senior brother, it's done, it's you!" "Hong Taole is happy, the TV series "Journey to the West" has actually started, this is a good film, my grandmother in my last life was proud of this film, as long as it is broadcast on TV, it must be watched, but I start to doze off when I look at it, but don't change the channel secretly, as soon as she changes the channel, her old man will wake up, and she has to let you dial it back and continue watching.
When I was in O5, the old man was still watching Journey to the West at night, but he fell asleep, and never woke up the next morning, and went directly to the West Heaven Elysium with the four Tang monks and apprentices and those demons and monsters in his sleep. Since he hit there, every time Hong Tao sees this film, he will think of his grandmother, and he will involuntarily wonder if he can sleep like an old lady when he is old? For this reason, Hong Tao also bought a set of Journey to the West CD, he plans to keep it until he is old, and watch this film if he has nothing to do, maybe he can go to learn the scriptures without pain.
It is said that you can't drink stuffy alcohol alone, so it's easy to get drunk, this sentence is very reasonable, this may be related to the excitement of the human body, several people drink together, talk while drinking, the nerves are always in a state of excitement, and may not be easily paralyzed by alcohol. If a person drinks and doesn't even have a person to talk to, the more he drinks, the more lonely he becomes, and his nerves will definitely not be excited, and the inhibition of alcohol will be even more obvious.
Hong Tao is the same, the amount of alcohol in his previous life is not bad, one person can barely stand up after drinking a bottle of two pots, and there are two bottles of red wine, the only weakness is beer, mainly that thing occupies the stomach too much, and if you drink two bottles, you will become a pot-bellied grasshopper, and you have to run to the toilet all the time. As for those strongmen who can drink half a box as soon as they drink it, Hong Tao doesn't understand what their gastrointestinal structure is, anyway, he doesn't have that ability.
"Bangbang...... Bangbang ...... "Just when Hong Tao was lying on the couch and entertaining himself, and the wine was half-drunk, there was a sudden sound of tapping on the heating pipe next door.
"Who went to the gym this day?" Hong Tao was a little puzzled, the key to the gym was only for himself and Sister Han Xue, and the two of them were busy upstairs with their feet not touching the ground, who else could go in?
Dragging his lazy body, Hong Tao got up from the couch, and then walked to the corridor behind the wardrobe again, this time he did not open the door on the floor, but stepped on it, stood in the corner, and reached out to open a small door on the wall, it turned out that there was a small door here, and it was two layers inside and outside, according to the direction, the door should be a gym.
"Hmm...... She didn't go home for the holidays!?" Gently opening the second door, Hong Tao saw that there was really a person in the gym, a woman, to be precise, it should be Tan Jing, she was sitting on the wall at the moment wiping her tears, picking up the shoes next to her from time to time, hitting the heating pipe twice, and then continued to sob, the knocking sound that Hong Tao heard just now was the sound of the soles hitting the heating pipe.
"What is she doing here?" Hong Tao didn't open the door and go out immediately, he didn't understand why this girl didn't go back for the big holiday, but ran here alone and shed tears, so he closed the door a little smaller and watched secretly.
Tan Jing didn't seem to have just arrived, because she was wearing a practice uniform, and her coat and everything were piled on the canvas toilet bag, and she didn't know what made her so sad, after she finished venting with her shoes, she buried her head in her knees again, and cried loudly, crying and crying as if she was crying out of her feelings, she simply turned over and lay on the floor, holding her big bag as a pillow, and continued to cry.
