On the first day of the opening of Taibai Restaurant, at five o'clock in the morning, Meng Songhai, who was lying in bed dreaming, was woken up by the alarm clock, and after waking up, he got up.

After putting on clothes and pants and washing, Meng Songhai went out.

After visiting Xiao City for nearly two hours, Meng Songhai bought a pair of Huang Binhong's landscape vertical scroll paintings, a Qing Yongzheng enamel flower and bird poetry bowl, both things were bought from a seller, he used the "Wisdom Treasure" to identify, determined to be genuine, a total of 1,000 yuan.

When Meng Songhai returned home, he met his father who had just come home from grocery shopping at the door of his house.

"Dad, you went out to buy groceries so early!" Meng Songhai greeted with a smile.

"After breakfast, I'm going to help out at your eldest sister's restaurant." Meng Dongyao opened the door with the key, "You go in first." ”

"Oh!" Meng Songhai was not polite to his father and went directly into the house.

After entering the kitchen and saying hello to his mother, who was making breakfast, Meng Songhai returned to his bedroom, spread out Huang Binhong's painting, put it on the bed, and admired it.

Before using the "Wisdom Treasure Identification" to identify this painting, Meng Songhai was ninety percent sure that it was genuine.

If the time is postponed by 20 years, Meng Songhai is not so sure, he knows that in the future, the market price of Huang Binhong, a top modern painter in China, will be underestimated, but nevertheless, for ordinary people, the market price of a painting is sky-high.

The price of antique calligraphy and painting is high, and there will naturally be more imitations, and the imitation technology will continue to rise with the increase in the price of genuine products.

After a while, Meng Guoqiang, who had just gotten up, came to Meng Songhai's bedroom.

"Little Wuzi, did you buy a painting this morning?" Meng Guoqiang asked with a smile.

"yes." Meng Songhai smiled faintly, "Second brother, go wash your face, there is eye feces hanging from the corners of your eyes, it's disgusting." ”

"I can't see it, I can't be disgusted!" Meng Guoqiang smiled, turned around and went into the bathroom.

A few minutes later, a family of four sat down at the table for breakfast.

Meng Guoqiang learned that his father was going to help in the restaurant later, and asked, "Dad, did the eldest sister invite you to help, or did you take the initiative to ask to go?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I'll help your eldest sister do something, it's fine."

Meng Guoqiang smiled and joked: "Xiao Wuzi asked you to help sell walnuts, and I didn't see you so active." Dad, you're a little eccentric! ”

"Let your dad go to a stall and sell inedible walnuts, I really can't let go of this old face."

Meng Dongyao shook his head with a smile, took a sip of porridge, and continued: "Guoqiang, if you have anything to do today, go to the restaurant to help." ”

"No, my girlfriend has a holiday today, and I made an appointment with her to go out."

Meng Songhai glanced at the second brother a few times and asked, "Will you come back for lunch at noon?" ”

"No, I'll have a meal outside at noon." Meng Guoqiang smiled, "Little Wuzi, let's go to Yundian, what do we need along the way, you think about it, you come and prepare." ”

"You're embarrassed to say this?" Guo Jingfeng quipped.

"What's so embarrassing about that. Now everyone says that Xiao Wuzi is more mature than me, and I also think that he has matured a lot recently, and I am working for him now, he is the boss, and he uses his brains ......"

"Stop!" Meng Songhai interrupted, "Hurry up, don't let your girlfriend wait." ”

"It's only a few o'clock, don't worry." Meng Guoqiang smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, the cousin of the eldest brother-in-law likes Xiao Wuzi a little. ”

Guo Jingfeng was slightly stunned, a smile appeared on his face, and asked, "The girl who sat at the table with you last night?" Called Dongmei? ”

"That's right, it's called Dongmei!" Meng Guoqiang said with a smile.

"Second brother, don't mess with the mandarin duck score, I'm not interested in her." Meng Songhai is colorful.

Ouyang Zhou's cousin Bao Dongmei is the same age as Meng Songhai, with a secondary school degree, has been working for more than a year, and looks beautiful, in the eyes of many people, Bao Dongmei can be regarded as a beauty, Meng Songhai also thinks that Bao Dongmei looks good, but she doesn't call.

"Not interested?" Guo Jingfeng smiled, "That girl, I know, is very beautiful, and she works as an accountant in a furniture factory. Little Wuzi, you're not interested in her, is your vision too high? ”

"Mom, how old am I, are you in a hurry for me to find you a daughter-in-law?" Meng Songhai smiled bitterly.

"You don't plan to continue studying, it's good to find a girlfriend early." Guo Jingfeng smiled.

"Now the state encourages late marriage and late childbearing," Meng Songhai said with a smile, "Mom, you are an old party member, and your idea is not in line with the national policy." ”

"Let you have a girlfriend and get involved in national policy, you are too good at it." Meng Guoqiang quipped.

Meng Guoqiang put down his chopsticks after eating and said that he was going out.

When the second brother went out, Meng Songhai was naturally embarrassed to let his father, who was going to help in the restaurant, or his mother, who was going to work, to wash the dishes and chopsticks, so he took the initiative to clean up the dishes and chopsticks and took them to the kitchen to clean.

While Meng Songhai was washing dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, his parents sat on the sofa in the living room and chatted for a while.

"Since Xiao Wuzi was drunk and discharged from the hospital, he has really grown up, and compared with Guoqiang, Xiao Wuzi is more sensible." Guo Jingfeng looked at the kitchen door and said to her husband with a look of relief.

"Xiao Wuzi is quite sensible, but his heart is too big...... It's also a little too wild. ”

"Isn't he wild, like your son?"

"Also, he's my Meng Dongyao's seed!" Meng Dongyao laughed, reached out to take his wife's hand, and kissed the back of his hand.

"It's not serious, what are you doing?" Guo Jingfeng said angrily and wanted to withdraw her hand, but she didn't succeed, and her husband was very tight.

"Jingfeng, you've worked hard all these years, the children have grown up, let's open a little, Xiao Wuzi will let you retire early, you can retire."

"What's the hurry?" Guo Jingfeng glared at her husband, "You really want to open it, so why do you want to go to An Hui's restaurant to help?" ”

"There are a few parents who can think about it!" Meng Dongyao sighed with a smile, "As long as the children are doing well, and you are healthy, I will be content." ”

After a while, Meng Songhai went out with his parents, said goodbye to his parents, he rode a bicycle to Wangfujing to go shopping, he didn't think about what to buy, when he shopped, he decided what to buy when he saw it.

At noon that day, Meng Songhai did not go home, and ordered two small dishes in a private restaurant outside and ate a casual meal.

In the evening, Meng Songhai cooked, his father was not at home for dinner, his mother and second brother were at home, and the second brother brought his girlfriend home.

After dinner, Meng Guoqiang sent his girlfriend home.

Meng Songhai washed the dishes and chopsticks, came to the living room and sat down, watching TV with his mother, chatting while watching TV.

After more than an hour, Meng Dongyao went home.

After chatting a few words, Meng Songhai asked, "Dad, how is the business of the restaurant?" ”

Meng Dongyao said with a little excitement: "It can be regarded as a prosperous business, if the business is as good as today every day in the future, the restaurant will be profitable in the first month of opening." ”

Guo Jingfeng was puzzled: "Doesn't it mean that in the first month of the restaurant's opening, the opening reward, customers come to eat, there are discounts, the price is very favorable, this can also make money?" ”

"Opening reward is just a gimmick, how can you do a loss-making business." Meng Dongyao explained with a smile, "Engaging in this activity, the profit is a little less, but as long as the number of customers is large and the turnover rate is high enough, you can still make money, and you can make a lot of money." ”

"It's good if the business of the restaurant is good." Guo Jingfeng said happily, "You've been busy in the restaurant for a day, are you tired?" ”

"I'm not tired, I'm just doing a little favor, the restaurant is full of people, I'll go over to help for a few days, and when the weather is cold, I won't go."

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

"I guess the second brother is back, I'll open the door."

Meng Songhai stood up and went to open the door.

After a while, Meng Songhai went back to the house and went to sleep, and the night passed without saying anything.

At five o'clock the next morning, as usual, Meng Songhai was woken up by the alarm clock.

After waking up, Meng Songhai did not get up immediately as usual, turned off the alarm clock, and continued to lie on the bed, opening his eyes and looking at the roof.

Meng Songhai felt a mess in his head, he didn't want to go to Xiaoshi, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"What's wrong with me?" Meng Songhai muttered, and after a while, he secretly said in his heart: "Since I was reborn, I have lived a very fulfilling life...... It's good to calm down and think about how to go in the future......"
