"It's ...... Tiger skin? ”
"yes!" Xu Lijuan nodded, handed a mask to Old Man Xu, put on another one herself, and explained: "Grandpa, this leather is not very well tanned, and the taste is a little heavy, you should put on the mask first." ”
The surprised old man Xu really gave a password and an action, and quickly put on the mask.
At this time, Xu Lijuan spread the entire tiger skin on the ground, so that Mr. Xu could enjoy the "style" of this tiger skin.
This is a Siberian tiger skin nearly five meters long, and it is the largest tiger skin that Xu Lijuan and Hao have traded.
It turned out to be true...... Old Man Xu only felt that his throat was dry, he bent down and stroked the tiger skin, and the expression on his face seemed to be nostalgic and sighing, which only made Xu Lijuan, who had inadvertently seen this scene, puzzled.
"Grandpa, I heard that spreading tiger skins on the bed is good for your rheumatic waist, so I'll call the fifth brother and them when I turn around, and ask them to help you deal with the tiger skin again."
"No!" Old Man Xu looked disgusted, "Such a precious thing, you can't let Xiao Wu and them deal with it casually, if you accidentally break something, it can't make people feel distressed to death!" ”
"But ......" Xu Lijuan looked at the huge tiger skin that occupied 1/3 of the living room, and then looked at the white-haired old man Xu, her mind turned, and she said with a smile: "Grandpa, this is not simple, you, just use your mouth to tell the fifth brother how to do it, where can you do it yourself!" ”
After a pause, Xu Lijuan added: "Besides, if other people know that Fifth Brother and they actually let Grandpa do this kind of rough work, I don't know how everyone will belittle them!" Not to mention anything else, just to make the fifth brother feel comfortable, you can't refuse the opportunity for them to fulfill their filial piety! ”
"......" tears of sympathy for Xu Deyu, Du Haoge and Du Haohan, who were innocently lying on the gun! However, who let these three people stay in the capital, and the others are all distributed all over the country, even if Xu Lijuan wants to drag people into the water, there is no other choice!
"Okay, you girl, no matter what, you're justified!" Old Man Xu blew his beard and glared, but Xu Lijuan understood that Old Man Xu was not angry at all, on the contrary, if she guessed correctly, Old Man Xu would still be sad in his heart!
"Grandpa, I've always been an honest person." This sentence, coupled with Xu Lijuan's shape of sticking out her tongue and making a grimace, made Old Man Xu smile.
After putting away the tiger skin, Xu Lijuan opened a cardboard box with a length and width of one meter against the wall, and took out six exquisitely carved wooden boxes from it: "Grandpa, this is the tea set I specially picked out to make tea for you." ”
"......" The corners of Old Man Xu's mouth twitched, other people's tea sets are given one set, but Xu Lijuan gives six sets of tea sets!
Every time he opened a box, Old Man Xu's fingers trembled, and by the time all six boxes were opened, Old Man Xu's fingers were already shaking.
Two sets of white porcelain and blue and white porcelain, one set of purple sand and one set of glass, even Mr. Xu, who has not studied antiques much, can see that these six sets of tea sets are real antiques!
Old Man Xu is worthy of being a person who has seen the world, and soon, he took several deep breaths, suppressed all the feelings that should not appear, and then carefully looked at each tea set. The more I look at this, the more Mr. Xu loves it, and his eyes can't get on these tea sets, and the whole picture is like a tea set idiot, and his mouth keeps praising it: "Not bad......"
No more, but there are none.
No way, in fact, in the final analysis, although Mr. Xu loves tea sets and is obsessed, he can recognize one or two antiques, but if he really asks him to say an ugly thing about the origin of these tea sets, it is impossible, at most, he thinks that he has the capital to brag in front of his friends.
For this, Xu Lijuan has been prepared for a long time.
"Grandpa, there's some tea here." Xu Lijuan took out a small wooden box again, which contained nearly ten kinds of top tea that were traded with the shopkeeper, "A good horse must be equipped with a good saddle, this tea drink, of course, different tea leaves should be brewed with different tea sets." ”
"Confused!" After listening to Xu Lijuan's words, when the old man Xu came back to his senses saw that Xu Lijuan had put more than ten kinds of tea in a box, he hurriedly took the box from Xu Lijuan's hand, and did not forget to glared at Xu Lijuan, "Girl, next time, don't put things like this again, it will smell like this!" ”
"No, grandpa." Xu Lijuan smiled, took out a small paper bag from the box, and put it in front of Old Man Xu: "Grandpa, you smell it, can you smell it?" ”
"Strange ......" Old Man Xu took out a few other paper bags unbelievingly, and when he couldn't smell the smell either, he carefully opened a paper bag. When he found that the paper bag in his hand had three layers inside and three layers outside, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's hard for you to think of such an idea." ”
Xu Lijuan smiled and didn't say anything. This idea was not something she came up with, but the shopkeeper Yu who traded with her. It was also because of this that she realized that ancient times were far less backward than those in the TV series, and those really smart ancient people were much stronger than the so-called geniuses in modern times!
"Grandpa, I know you don't like to wear bracelets and bracelets, but 'people raise jade, jade raises people', no matter what, you still have to wear one or two pieces, so I picked a jade Buddha and a jade plate and pointed it to you." As she spoke, Xu Lijuan had already taken out the jade Buddha and jade plate fingers, and without waiting for Old Man Xu to speak, she walked behind Old Man Xu, hung the Jade Buddha on Old Man Xu's neck, and then dragged Old Man Xu's right hand and put the jade plate fingers on him.
"Grandpa is not used ......to wearing this thing," Old Man Xu endured and endured, and finally swallowed the words of refusal in his throat silently in Xu Lijuan's threatening expression of "If you dare to take it off, I will dare to cry on the spot".
"Grandpa, it only takes 28 days for a habit to develop, so you will get used to it after wearing it for a month." Xu Lijuan saw that it was not early, so she ran to the kitchen, brought out the dim sum that had been prepared a long time ago, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, come, try my newly made osmanthus cake, mung bean cake and ham lotus leaf shredded cake." ”
The osmanthus is crispy but not greasy, the mung bean cake is fragrant and not sticky to the teeth, the ham and lotus leaf shredded cakes are tender and delicious, and the old man Xu opened his arms and couldn't stop his mouth at all, and he didn't want to recall how bad his food was in the month when Xu Lijuan left the capital.
Of course, in fact, as a retired general, Mr. Xu's food and clothing are all special offerings. Those fresh ingredients, through the hands of rare chefs in the world, can be so delicious that even the most ordinary home-cooked side dishes can be swallowed on your tongue.
It's just that for Mr. Xu, who has eaten all the good things in his life, every dish is full of color and flavor, and it lacks the most important point - the taste of home.
This kind of happiness can only be made by caring for and loving one's family from the heart.
