Chapter 33: Offering Buddha with Flowers

Wu Chenzheng was drinking tea with the old god, and he didn't watch out for the big teeth pulling on him, and laughed out loud, saying that this "great friendship" can't be used indiscriminately, if you don't understand, please refer to Wang Xiaobo's "Golden Age".

For so many years, the two brothers have already cooperated tacitly, and they don't even need to make eye contact, Wu Chen also knew what he was going to say, but it was not as good as he wanted, and said with a smile: "You give me a BMW to try, I promise to drive to work every day!" I don't dare to accept what others send, and I don't dare to accept what you send, and I don't thank you for sending it, and the great man didn't say 'Accept it as a gift, don't do it!' Love, send, send. As for saying that I have a leg with you, there is no need to refute this rumor, as long as you look like this, you can only believe it if you don't open your eyes! ”

The two of them were joking without shame, the boss had already brought a big bowl of pork ribs and bitter gourd soup, this soup had been boiled all morning, it looked like a transparent glass texture, and some coriander was scattered on it, which looked very tempting, and the three of them suddenly felt their appetite moved, and they picked up the soup spoon to serve soup to everyone.

After a while, other dishes also came up one after another, a plate of fried flower nails with ginger and shallots, a plate of stir-fried snake skin, a plate of fried garlic and small soil white, a plate of stuffy carved fish, a plate of boiling water scalded blood cockles, a plate of braised snake tail, all the tables were put aside, in fact, the portion was not much, and the three of them ate happily and did not waste much.

Especially Huang Xiaolin, although some of the aunts who cook at home are also invited from their hometowns, this kind of home-cooked food does not taste as good as this kind of roadside stall.

I haven't eaten such a local home-cooked food for many years, I eat happily, and the two people who eat together are really not elegant people, they all say that it is easy to learn bad and difficult to learn, and after a while, Huang Xiaolin was completely taken by them to lose half of her ladylike appearance, and she also started to grab the last flower carving fish with Big Tooth, and she got rid of a little girl from the countryside.

Wu Chen didn't eat snakes, so he ate some vegetables with rice, drank two bowls of soup, and broke the blood cockles for Huang Xiaolin. This blood cockle grows slightly smaller than the white shell, the gray-white shell is a strip-shaped pit, wash it and put it in a basin, pour it with boiling water and pour the water out immediately, at this time the blood cockle will be ripe and unripe just right, break the shell with your hand, expose the cockle meat, the blood on both sides is just wrapped by the outer layer, but it is not coagulated, and it is very delicious. If the boiling water is scalded for too long, the blood coagulates, and the shells separate by themselves, although they do not need to be broken, but they are not so delicious, and if the water temperature is not enough, the inner tendons of the shells are not yet scalded, it is difficult to break them, and some locals will pry it open with the help of coins or something.

Wu Chen saw that Huang Xiaolin's ten fingers were slender and should have been smeared with nail polish, and he was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her to do it herself, so she became a volunteer, which naturally caused a burst of ridicule from Big Tooth, and he occasionally turned back a few words, and ate a meal in full swing.

"How? Ate okay. The boss heard Big Tooth call him, and walked in with a small notebook and a smile.

"Well, that's good, let's pay for it." Big Tooth picked up the cigarette and handed it to the boss.

"Hehe, just eat well. I've already put half of your snake meat outside, so remember to take it when you go. How's that, the cup? The boss counted them, took the cigarette, lit it and took a puff, and asked with a smile.

"Okay, but get some private treasures, don't take this kind of old terrier for five dollars a pound. You set the tea set up, and we'll make it ourselves. "Although Big Tooth is here for the first time, he is self-cooked, and he is not polite to the boss, and a cup of tea after dinner is also a proper meaning. Daya stood up and paid as he spoke, not to mention, this mountain is really expensive.

"By the way, boss, where did you get this snake?" While the boss was looking for money, Wu Chen asked casually.

"This is really not from my hometown, it was sent by a friend of mine in Huangpu, and their village secretary dug it up when he was preparing the land in the back mountain, and even the soil was in the bucket of the excavator at that time, and then it was sent over when the corona occurred." After the boss finished speaking, he felt that it was not enjoyable, and lowered his voice and said, "They want to build a villa for their own family!" ”

"Build a villa? Isn't this a crime against the wind? Wu Chen said in surprise, it turns out that the province is now checking the land, and the Guangfu is engaged in illegal construction and demolition, and the village secretary's brain doesn't know what Lu Dao is made of.

"The ghost knows how to say, hehe, don't talk about building villas, there are even more outrageous ones. Don't look at a person who looks like a dog, it's actually messed up! Some of them just talked about anti-corruption on stage, and they were taken away when they stepped off the stage, and they were all good all the way, and there was no good person! Oh, I can't care so much. Come on, I'll serve you a tea set. The boss was a little mysterious, and then left.

Wu Chen saw Huang Xiaolin looking at him with a smile, and spread his hands helplessly and said, "It's nothing to do with me, anyway, I'm not an official, and I'm not even a small official, hehe." ”

"Come on, you can't figure it out, the seven-grade official at the prime minister's door, even the gatekeeper has been made an official, not to mention that you eat yamen meals and take our taxpayers' money, as the saying goes, big servants, small servants, are they all public servants, Ha Luha, I will make tea and serve your master and your aunt!" Daya immediately drew a clear position with Wu Chen, and became a parent of food and clothing, saying happily, Wu Chen had already kicked over.

While talking, the boss put on the tea set, and a pot of boiling water was placed on the tea stove. Because it is a daily tea drink, there is not so much attention to the tea ceremony. Seeing that Wu Chen was fiddling with the tea set, Daya picked up the bronze dingzu placed on the side of the table, wrapped it in a few thick layers with a paper towel, handed it to Huang Xiaolin and said, "Sister, put things away!" Again, things have a price, and friendship is priceless! Cheers, hey, why are you so slow? Looking back, Wu Chen hadn't made the tea yet, and complained.

Huang Xiaolin couldn't cry or laugh, so she had to accept it, put it in the Kun bag she carried, and take it home to her father anyway, this thing shouldn't be fake.

It turned out that Huang's father was busy with business in his early years, but when the business gradually got on track, his daughter was older again, and he was very uncomfortable when he was suddenly idle, he didn't have much culture, and he was not interested in those so-called elegant arts or sports, and his only hobby was martial arts novels, and he turned over several sets of Jin Yong's ancient dragons, and he couldn't read the others. People are afraid of idleness, Huang's father has nothing to do all day long, he is really bored, the couple often quarrels, and then accidentally entered the collection industry, and finally found something to do, just like a child is addicted to video games.

At the beginning, he often walked the streets and alleys to collect, even the stalls did not let go, received a room of fakes, and became the famous yellow stick mallet, and later hired a group of experts to help check the checks, the situation improved, and really let him collect some good things, and show off in front of the mother and daughter all day long, stinky fart. Huang Xiaolin and her mother didn't bother to care about him, anyway, he was happy, it was better than suffocating.

In fact, Huang's father is not the most outrageous, Lin Bo, who partners with their group to do logistics, started by making ceramics, and later got involved in papermaking, medicine and herbal tea, etc., it is also a big business, and his son gradually took over and was bored at home all day, except for occasionally calling a few old buddies to play mahjong all night, usually nesting on the sofa to watch domestic war-themed dramas, the decline of the war drama department released nationwide every year, and even those incomparably thunderous brain-dead dramas have not been let go, this has not been a few years, and he is stunned to sit out of hemorrhoids.

Most of the entrepreneurs of their generation are relatively low-key and home-loving, and rarely go out to private clubs and golf courses unless they are required by work, and that kind of scene will not be more until the new generation of successful people who are a little younger than them.

"Drink tea", since Wu Chen is the cabinet manager, he will greet everyone to drink tea after brewing tea. The three of them each picked up a small cup and drank it, anyway, it was not a good tea, it was only better than brushing the dishes and chopsticks outside, so it didn't matter if it was a taste or not. Big Tooth naturally added fuel and vinegar to talk about his situation with Wu Chen first, and Wu Chen added the most "two words, pure hanging silk!" ”

"Are those two words? It's terrible to be uneducated! The big tooth damaged Wu Chen, put down the teacup, and asked casually, "By the way, sister, what are you doing now?" He actually wanted to ask for a long time, but seeing Huang Xiaolin's car and dress, he was afraid of asking some bad answers, after all, there are one or several "godfathers" behind all kinds of rich women, and now he can't hold back, so he still asks.

Huang Xiaolin smiled and roughly explained her reading experience, and said at the end: "After returning to China, I worked in Jianghai Investment, the company is mainly for real estate development, and I am mainly responsible for financial work." ”

"It turned out to be a turtle." Big Tooth praised, although returnees are very common now, there are many such people in their own company, but those people have nothing to do with their own half a dime, this is the "sister" I have known since childhood, that is naturally different, it seems that my original worries are superfluous. Wu Chen didn't think about it so much, and said in surprise, "Jianghai Investment? ”

"Hee-hee, yes, there are a lot of your old classmates, right, there is no shortage of beauties, are there any good looks for you?" Huang Xiaolin already knew the general situation of Wu Chen and them, and deliberately teased him.

"Hehe, when we graduated, at least half of the people in the class went to your company for an interview, but few of them were able to get in." Wu Chen said while making tea: "I heard that you don't care about men and women, you only recruit good-looking ones, and you have requirements for height and appearance." ”

"Damn, it's not a TV show or an art school, why are you doing all this?" Daya is more sensitive to this, if it weren't for Huang Xiaolin, he would have already burst into foul language, if he asked for this, wouldn't that brother be unemployed, naked discrimination!

"Well, as a real estate development company, to deal with all aspects, image is still more important, of course, you don't have to be handsome guys and beauties, just ordinary." After speaking, he glanced at Big Tooth, his eyes were full of smiles, and Big Tooth was depressed in his heart, and he said that his brother has been checked by the police all the year round, can he be regarded as ordinary?
