Chapter 185 - Shoulder-to-shoulder trade, don't take advantage
"I bought everything, how can I return it. Besides, you're pretty good to wear. Tang Yulan saw the old man's unwilling face, and lied to him: "There is a female boss who has a deep love for your son, and there is no way to go home with me this time, so she bought this suit for you to wear, which is a piece of her filial piety." ”
The old man's eyes lit up, and he leaned over and said: "How does this female boss look, she is tall or tall, how old is she, you can't be a little white face for their maintenance, divorced women over thirty years old must not want it, and the character must also be strictly controlled, so let's take it home when you have time, the first hard indicator is that it must not be worse than Tang Xingshu and his girlfriend, otherwise I will lose face in front of your third uncle." ”
Tang Yulan said: "Okay, the appearance and figure are marked, and the person is also very virtuous, but he takes care of many people to eat, and he is very busy with work, so he can't get out easily." ”
The old man smiled with relief: "It's good to be virtuous, it's good to be virtuous." I don't have to let you find someone like Shen Shuting, as long as you can talk about the past, it's June now, and you can hold a child next year! ”
"I'll have to fight for this slowly." Tang Yulan took out two more Chinese cigarettes and 100,000 yuan in cash, and said: "Now your son has a little interest, you can use this money, buy whatever you want, and ask me for it when you spend it." ”
"Stinky boy, where did you get so much money, you have saved the extra 60,000 yuan sent to your family, waiting for you to use when you marry your daughter-in-law." The old man looked at him suspiciously, and said, "You kid won't rob a bank with your strength, have you done anything wrong!" ”
He looked at Tang Yulan with a serious expression with an old face.
"How is that possible?" Tang Yulan was not in a hurry, handed the old man a cigarette and lit it, and said with a straight finger: "For more than a month, your son has been awarded the medal of the Lingjiang Public Security Bureau for his righteousness and bravery, and he has also drawn up important design plans in the company to solve the problem of enterprise survival, and has obtained some near." The most important thing is that I have helped Professor Guo to make academic progress and get some rewards. ”
The old man scratched his head and said, "You used to be a soldier, you didn't learn anything, how can you do this, I think you lied to me again, and how can you have so much money." ”
Tang Yulan said with a smile: "How can there be such a Lao Tzu, even his son doesn't believe it, show you one thing, and you will know how good our bloodline genes are!" After saying that, he walked to the coffee table and found something in the middle of the kidney silver gift box, which was mysteriously placed behind his back.
"Little bunny, what kind of mystery are you pretending to be for me."
"Here, look, Lingjiang University professor certificate, how about it, it's powerful enough, it's domineering enough!" Tang Yulan showed the certificate and said with a smile: "Now my third uncle has nothing to show off, with this certificate, he can set up three hundred tables for a banquet." ”
"What!" The old man jumped up from his chair and snatched his certificate to look at it. The workmanship is very exquisite, the four words of Lingjiang University on the front are dancing with dragons and phoenixes, open it and take a look, the title is written with four words of honorary certificate, and the following is written in turn, "Comrade Tang Yulan: In recognition of your outstanding contributions to music and art, this certificate is hereby issued." "Below are the departments and dates.
"This, this can't be fake, right?" The old man's fingers trembled, and he said, "Stinky boy, you haven't studied music again." ”
Tang Yulan pursed his lips and said, "I couldn't speak when I was just born." ”
"Ha Luha, so everything is true." The old man was in a very comfortable mood, rubbing the messy hair on Tang Yulan's head, and said with a smile: "Ha Luha, my son has a chance." What have you done in the past few years, you have lost so much weight than before, why are your clothes still so torn, will your boss girlfriend like it? ”
"An excellent personality charm can't hide anything." Tang Yulan said proudly.
"That's not good, you have to dress decently when you make money, and you're a professor anyway, so we can't make people laugh." The old man felt that his son had grown up, got up and said, "Very good, I'll go out for a walk, you stay at home and don't run around." I'll make you your favorite sauce-flavored pork ribs, stir-fried kidney flowers. ”
When I was a child, my family's living conditions were very poor, and when someone in the village killed pigs, my father would go over to help and give two catties of pork ribs when he was finished.
Tang Wenyuan's craftsmanship is very good, preparing a variety of ingredients such as chopped green onions, mushrooms, and vermicelli. When you eat it, the meat is delicious, the oil splashes all over the throat, and it contains the strong family affection of the father, which cannot be replaced by any taste. And he couldn't eat enough every time, even the bottom of the bowl was licked clean.
Although the old man is strict and old-fashioned on the surface, he loves his son very much in his heart, Tang Yulan has not been home for more than three years, he doesn't know how many tears he has secretly shed, and when Tang's mother saw it, he deduced that he was strict and entered the sand.
"Uncle Tang, why are you so happy today, what are you doing here?" On the road, neighbors greeted the old man.
"Ha Luha, my son is back, why don't I go buy something." The old man happily showed off: "See, the daughter-in-law who is worth tens of thousands of dollars, I don't know what kind of material this is made of." Xiao Tang is a well-behaved kid and is willing to spend money. ”
"It's so expensive, what is Xiao Tang doing now?"
"He's going to live and eat." The old man smiled and said, "Now he is a professor at Lingjiang University!" ”
"What!" The neighbors exploded: "Make no mistake, the one who received the award from the university is still a professor!" ”
"Ha Luha, you talk first, this kid is so capable, I'll go to the street to buy something." After the old man finished showing off, he left leisurely with his hands behind his back.
Tang Yulan's house is not far from the market, less than two kilometers away. It's only a 10-minute walk at most.
The market was built at the expense of the government, and the scale was relatively large, with four floors of high-rise buildings, in the shape of a mouth, which were concentrated together and managed in a relatively unified manner.
To the south is a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, and now the transportation is convenient, and the ripe fruits from various places can be delivered within three days, unlike when I was a child, I only heard of it and never ate it. In the west, there are aquatic products, birds, eggs, etc., in the north, there are fresh meat, rice and grain, and in the east there are cooked lo-mei, cured meat, and groceries.
The stalls on the second floor of the market are mostly hardware and groceries, the third floor is clothes, and the fourth floor is daily necessities.
It's almost four o'clock in the afternoon, it's already past the time of dinner, and it's not yet the rush hour, and the temperature is hot, so there are very few people in the vegetable market.
The old man was wearing a bright suit, but unfortunately there was an ordinary pair of cloth shoes underneath, which inevitably looked a little nondescript, so he walked around and bought a bundle of cucumbers, as well as sour bamboo shoots, beans and other side dishes.
Braised pork ribs are often made in restaurants, where the meat has a delicate taste and customers like it, but it is already afternoon and many stalls are out of stock.
The old man walked around backwards and turns, and his son liked to eat, and he didn't want to return in vain.
Suddenly, my eyes lit up, and I found that there was still goods in a stall, and I saw a row of pork chops hanging on the iron hook, so I hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Boss, how can I sell this?" ”
The boss looked to be in his thirties, slightly chubby, with broad shoulders, very thick arms, a big belly, and a greasy apron around his body.
His name is Sun Houpu, and he left the town at the age of eighteen to go out of the town, and it is said that he was deceived into working in pyramid schemes and went to prison. While bathing in the baths, several scars were seen on his body. Now that he is settled, he slaughters pigs and sells meat in the town.
Sun Houpu shook his phone boringly, thinking about hooking up with a beautiful girl in his spare time, and he said that it was a girl, even a lonely young woman. When I raised my eyes, I saw that a customer came to the door, and immediately greeted him, and said with a smile: "Uncle, you really have a vision, this is a good steak, this bright meat color, absolutely delicious!" It's not early in the morning, except for me, it's hard for you to find a second home in the whole town, and you only charge 12 yuan a catty, which is affordable enough. ”
The old man looked at it, the pork ribs hanging were very bright, and they looked good, and said, "The price is not expensive, you can give me two catties." ”
Sun Houpu took out the pig-killing knife and put the meat on the board, cut it hard, and threw it on the electronic scale, "Two catties and one tael, I will count two catties for you." Twenty-four yuan, when I go back, I will make it, it is absolutely delicious. ”
The old man took out a 100-yuan denomination from his pocket, and his heart was very relieved when he thought of his son's happy appearance at dinner in the evening.
Sun Houpu retrieved the money, and at the same time packed the meat with a sideband and handed it over.
The old man was happy, thinking about going home quickly to make a good meal for Tang Yulan, but as soon as he walked to the door of the market, he felt that his hand was fluttering, and he felt that something was wrong.
The old man was not lightly angry, and when he took out the ribs, he saw that they were wet. I didn't expect the ribs to be filled with water.
It was actually water-injected meat, and this time I was even more angry, the more I thought about it, the more I felt wrong, and I took out the money I found and saw that there was no mercury on the top of the largest 50 yuan, and the paper was loose, the texture was not clear, it was a fake banknote, and which one of the 20 yuan also fell off a corner.
The old man is careful on weekdays, reluctant to spend money, and naturally rarely fooled, but this time Tang Yulan came back, and he was happy in his heart so he neglected to take precautions.
"Uncle, just forget if you suffer a loss, then Sun Houpu is not a good person, a matter of a few yuan, you can't worry about him, someone suffered a loss some time ago." Someone next to him persuaded.
Where was the old man willing to listen, he walked to Sun Houpu's stall angrily, put the cypress ribs on the board, and said: "Boss, "Zhu Zi's Family Motto" says 'Trade with shoulders, don't take advantage; When you see your neighbors who are poor, you must be warm. "Even when doing business, you can't be greedy for cheap, and others have to help when they are in trouble, but you don't have to worry about the lack of meat, how can you give me back the counterfeit money?" Who will dare to come to you to buy things in the future. ”
Sun Houpu lay lazily on the chair, listened to the old man's words, patted the board and stood up, and shouted: "Dead old man, you must speak with real evidence, don't just slander good people." I've been a kid for so long, how could I lie to you when I came to you. Why didn't you check it when you bought something, and I don't know if you take it home even if it's half a catty. It's okay to get the money back, but can you put the meat back for me that can't be sold? ”
It's not the first time the old man has bought meat in the market, and he hasn't seen such an unreasonable person, so he trembles with anger and says, "Everyone come and comment on the reasoning, this person sells me meat and is short of two catties, and he also gives counterfeit money." ”
