Chapter 40: The Helmsman is Disillusioned
It turned out that this Fan Congli's father was a very famous squire in Sichuan Province before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and he was also a red-robed brother, who had supported the anti-Japanese resistance many times, and was also familiar with Grandpa Xu.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Fan Congli's father and son politely refused the work arranged by the state and lived quietly in a different place.
Later, Fan Congli started a black market business, and after he became bigger, he naturally had a group of subordinates who came forward and hugged him, nicknamed "Brother Long", and he was indeed very popular with the helmsman before the founding of the People's Republic of China.
"Uncle Xu, do you have a large amount of fine grains in your hands?"
Fan Congli has seen the grain brought back by his subordinates, and the quality is indeed rare on the market now.
Grandpa Xu nodded, "What?" Do you want to eat it? ”
"How much money are you going to sell?"
"Two pieces of rice and five, and eight pieces of noodles! Fixed price! ”
"How dare I bargain with you?"
"I don't think you dare, it's that the price is cheap and you're already stealing fun, right? Find a car at eight o'clock in the evening to send Xianqiao to the east to pick it up! ”
Grandpa Xu thought about it again, "Find a bigger car!" ”
Fan Congli couldn't help nodding, thinking that this old man Xu is really energetic, he can get so much fine grain so quietly.
"Okay, I'll go myself in the evening!"
This business has also been negotiated, and he happily pulled Grandpa Xu's sleeve, "Grandpour, let's go back to breakfast, I'm hungry!" ”
Grandpa Xu heard that he was hungry, and immediately scolded Fan Congli, "You Brother Long, who is famous outside, don't even care about a meal!" ”
"That's it, and lied to me that there are tofu brains, dandan noodles, Ye Erba, brown sugar pot helmets and small buns! It's all liars! Wan Huan pouted and said unhappily.
Now there are very few snacks outside, such as Ye'er Ba and brown sugar pot helmet state restaurants are usually not served.
Grandpa Xu doesn't know how to make these snacks, so these snacks with complicated procedures have been hungry for a long time.
Just now, the man named Stuffy Dun'er said a long list of delicious food, and now he must be angry if he doesn't eat it.
"Eat and eat! How dare you ignore the meal? Fan Congli hurriedly said: "You can eat whatever you want!" ”
Then he shouted out the door, "Stuffy, hurry up to the kitchen to have breakfast, and serve any delicious snacks!" ”
When I heard that there was something delicious, it was immediately cloudy and clear.
If you don't say that there is a lot of pomp and circumstance in people's great causes, after saying this, someone will bring food over.
A large plate of leaf poop, the green grapefruit half-covers the white raw glutinous rice dumplings, and you can also smell the unique fragrance of the grapefruit leaves.
A large plate of steamed buns, authentic xiaolongbao, the appearance is small and looks very exquisite.
The tofu brain is spicy, and there are fried soybeans and kohlrabi coriander pork nose arch (houttuynia cordata) granules on the noodles, which is a qualitative leap in quality compared to the state-run restaurant at the train station.
The white skin of the brown sugar pot helmet is burnt yellow, and the size is also small, like the kind eaten in restaurants in later generations, and you have an appetite when you look at it.
Looking at these things, he set up half of the table, and there were soy milk fritters and kimchi porridge in the back.
This is probably the biggest meal I've ever seen since I came to this era.
If nothing else, the number of dishes and dishes is quite impressive, not to mention the style and quality of the food.
Resisting the desire to swallow saliva, the rules and regulations greeted them with courtesy, and opened to eat chopsticks.
It's not that you're happy and pretending to be poor, after all, you're a guest, and you're an adult in your bones, so you can't show your gluttony and lose face.
The dining etiquette is perfect, but the amount of food is very subversive.
I enjoyed a bowl of tofu brain, three small buns, two leaf cakes, two brown sugar pot helmets, a fritter plus a bowl of porridge and a lot of side dishes.
Fan Congli smiled and teased Grandpa Xu: "Uncle Xu, those rice noodles of yours were originally prepared for your family's little end, right?" Half the size eats the poor man! ”
"Fart! My little fish is not yet four years old, and people who practice martial arts have a lot of food! Grandpa Xu disdains Fan Congli.
Duan Huan is not a thin-skinned person, bent her iconic phoenix eyes and said: "Grandpa Fan, my ancestor said that it is a blessing to be able to eat!"
I still have a lot of snacks to have the strength to grow my body.
Don't feel sorry for your little food, if you want to blame it, your family's food is so delicious. ”
"What do you call me? Grandpa Fan? Fan Congli was frightened and squirted out a sip of tea, "I'm still so young, I don't have any babies, so I just skip being a father and become a grandfather directly?" ”
Grandpa Xu sneered at him, "At such an age, you don't even have a doll, I really don't know what you're messing with?" ”
"I only turned 30 at the beginning of this year, why am I old, I'm still young!" Fan Congli said with a hippie smile.
"Someone is thirty-five or sixteen and will be a grandfather," Grandpa Xu continued to stab, "I think you can't give birth to a baby because you have a problem, right?" ”
Fan Congli realized that Grandpa Xu's eyes were taking care of his key parts, and his face turned red,
"Uncle Xu, don't talk nonsense, my mother-in-law hasn't married yet, who will she have sex with?"
Looking at Fan Congli, who was blushing like a monkey's buttocks, Grandpa Xu laughed happily, "You really listen to your father, don't marry a wife before thirty!" ”
"Didn't you say that Master Yuanci gave it to my father? My dad pulled me to tell me several times before he died! Fan Congli was still a little embarrassed.
Looking at this sumptuous breakfast, he still helped Fan Congli to return the sentence, "Is it strange to call grandpa?" Aren't some people calling me my little aunt and little ancestor? ”
Grandpa Xu saw that Huan's face was a little red, so he took off the woolen hat on her head and smoothed her hair, "It's not strange, our little fish are high!" ”
"It's just that, it doesn't matter if you are old or old! Haha, I'll be grandpa from now on! Fan Congli hurriedly nodded.
Looking at Fan Congli's triumphant appearance, her image of carrying the handle in her mind was instantly disillusioned.
This is a person who is filial to his father and can thoroughly implement his father's last words, and he loves to blush after being slightly washed by Grandpa Xu.
But also, I haven't got a driver's license yet, and I can't drive, how can I compare to the old driver Grandpa Xu.
This is far from the dark impression of the legendary helm handle, it doesn't match at all, and it's a bit funny, who believes it.
I didn't expect that many years later, Fan Congli's son followed behind his buttocks, calling his eldest niece in a strange way, and he was angry and angry to clean up the bear child.
After eating and drinking tea, Grandpa Xu took away and said goodbye and went back.
Fan Congli also wanted to let Stuffy Dun'er send them, but Grandpa Xu refused, he didn't like to follow people anytime and anywhere, and he always felt uncomfortable.
Walking to a secluded place, he put his back into the space, and urged Grandpa Xu to go to the overseas Chinese remittance store.
The waiter at the door grimaced, saying that only overseas Chinese remittance vouchers or foreign friends could enter, and the rest of the people were not allowed to enter.
Grandpa Xu showed the overseas Chinese remittance voucher at the door, and then he was allowed to enter.
The display inside is outdated in the eyes of Huanhuan, but it is still several levels better than the supply and marketing cooperative.
At least there was plenty of lighting and a small number of glass counters, which were later imitated in the mall.
There are very few people in the store, except for a few sparse foreigners, but there are many salespeople.
Grandpa Xu first bought two croissants and a listening of milk powder for Duan Huan, and when he saw a matryoshka doll, he also bought one.
I still want to buy a doll, but I resolutely don't want it, and I won't play when I buy it back, wasting money.
The most important thing is that these dolls are not very good-looking, and Yan Kong's joy expressed his disgust.
Grandpa Xu insisted on buying two small bow hairpins for Duan Huan, one big red and one pink, which finally satisfied his wish to dress up his great-granddaughter.
Fortunately, the bow will not go out of style, and it can be used when you have long hair in the future.
In the end, he bought a watch with Grandpa Xu, and the mirror of his old Shanghai watch was seriously worn, and the face value was not enough, and he needed forty industrial coupons.
I had to settle for the next best thing and bought a thermos cup.
It is convenient to go out when the thermos cup goes out, and the military kettle can take a back seat and appear again in the summer.
In the end, I bought 5 catties of cashmere thread, and spent all the denominations on it before returning with a full load.
