Chapter 238: General Route, General Mission
I said to Uncle Ming as I walked, "I didn't expect your old man to play tricks with us from the beginning, and there are few decent things at home." This time, even if we admit that we are unlucky, we only accept these things that can't be put on the table, and give you a big discount, even if we are two clears now, we should really go our separate ways after eating later. There must be no problem with Ah Xiang's affairs to Shirley Yang, as the saying goes, the big girl doesn't stay, and I don't think she plans to go home with you anymore, so you don't have to worry about her in the future. ”
Uncle Ming said: "Brother Hu, you see that you are so outside, although we have not negotiated our family affairs, but this time we have lived and died together for so many days, is it an ordinary friendship?" I don't want to go to Tibet to be a lama now, so I naturally have to move around more in the future. I'll invite you for this meal, so we can discuss business in the future while we eat......"
I was in a bad mood, Hong Kong Nong was determined to eat me, at this time I had come to the restaurant at the intersection of the fat man, I saw that it was a restaurant selling fried noodles, and I was busy with Uncle Ming's words, and said to everyone: "Uncle Ming is kind to invite the brothers to rub rice, but the time is too late, we will also slaughter him, so I can make do with this to eat late fried noodles." Uncle Ming, your time in Beijing is not short, are you used to eating food in Beijing? ”
As soon as he mentioned eating, the fat man was energetic, and without waiting for Uncle Ming to speak, he rushed to say: "Ninety-nine Beijing snacks, three hundred and three big dishes, everything makes you not eat enough, not very modest to say, I have basically tasted it all." But the fat man still has a soft spot for mutton, Donglaishun's shabu mutton, barbecue mutton in the barbecue season, Baikui roast mutton, Yuesheng Zhai sauce mutton, these four big shabu, roast, roast, sauce, the taste of mutton is really amazing. Since Uncle Ming is going to have a treat, we are very warm, why don't we go to the barbecue season? It's so boring to eat jajangmyeon. ”
Uncle Ming may be really poor now, and when he heard that the fat man was going to the barbecue season, he hurriedly said: "We are tired of eating meat often." Stir-fried gnocchi, fried noodles, and the best catalpa slices, these are the three major flavors of Beijing, I have been famous in Nanyang for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to taste it, let's eat together now. ”
As they spoke, the four of them stepped into the restaurant. The store is not big, and it belongs to the most ordinary kind of fried noodle restaurant that can be seen everywhere in Beijing, and the environment inside is not clean. There were some sporadic diners at this time, so we picked up a clean table and sat down around it, first asked for a few bottles of beer and two pots, and it didn't take long for the waiter to bring a big bowl of noodles to each person. The fat man was not very satisfied, and complained that Uncle Ming was reluctant to spend money.
Da Jinya was very interested today, eating fried sauce and facing everyone: "In fact, fried gnocchi and catalpa slices are all things eaten by the poor people in old Beijing, but this fried sauce noodles are poor and poor to eat, rich and rich to eat, if you pay attention to eating fried noodles, according to the top eating method, it is also very fine." Whether it is delicate or not depends mainly on the face code, which must be complete and fresh. green bean mouth, toon sprouts, blanched leeks cut into sections; minced celery, lettuce slices, and dog's tooth garlic should be broken into two cloves; Bean sprouts are picked, the roots are removed, and the cucumbers with thorns on the top flowers should be cut into thin strips; The heart is beautiful, cut a few batches, blanched beans and chopped dices, small radishes with green tassels; Drizzle a little chili sesame oil, and splash mustard to the spicy nose and eyes. Although there is only a small bowl of fried noodles, seven dishes and eight bowls are noodles. ”
After hearing this, Uncle Ming praised it again and again, and gave a thumbs up to the big gold tooth: "It turns out that the golden tooth boy not only has good eyesight, but also understands the way of food, and the words he says casually have rules, he is really an all-rounder." After you say this, the emperor has eaten it to this extent, this fried noodles are really good. Uncle Ming said to me again: "I have a very good idea, with my business mind, the shrewdness and understanding of the golden tooth, and the courage of the fat boy, plus Brother Hu, your secret technique of dividing the gold and setting the acupoints, almost everyone has the ability to take charge of their own side, if our group of people can seek development together, it can be said that it is a golden combination, as long as we are willing to do it, the opportunity is to have it, it is a mountain of gold and silver, I am afraid it is not difficult to earn." Life is a life, grass and trees are autumn, who doesn't want to be rich and expensive in this life, if you don't do it now, when will you stay? ”
After listening to Uncle Ming's inflammatory words, Da Jinya couldn't help but be moved, and asked me: "Master Hu, brother also means this, now Panjiayuan's business is really impossible to do, there are more and more fakes, and there are fewer and fewer real things. Although I have eyesight, how many real things can I collect when I point to the shovel? I heard that there are many ancient tombs in the mountains on the other side of the two lakes, so we might as well take the opportunity to make a few big votes, and we don't have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of our lives. ”
I have made up my mind, but I still have to listen to the fat man's thoughts, so I asked the fat man: "Uncle Ming and the big golden tooth are also with you, they are all heartfelt words, what do you mean in the future, little fatty, and talk about it even if you don't take precautions?" ”
The fat man raised the beer bottle and poured two sips, and said with a big grin: "It is said that I bow my head and am willing to serve the children, that is, I was born to serve the people, and I am a grandson everywhere, and I have been a gun for others in this life, but let's talk about it here, this time I will say a few words from the heart." I said Lao Jin and Uncle Ming, it's not that I criticize the two of you, you two are really enough grandsons, you are not stupid, but the problem is that you don't take others as fools. If we go to the fight together, with the virtue of the two of you, one has an old problem and has asthma, and the other is old and has a bad stomach, so dig pits and dig up the soil, and climb in and out of the hard work...... And that fateful errand, isn't it all me and Lao Hu? I tell you, I am willing to fight the two of you to go together, no one will stop you, but we are tired of playing this part, and I will go to the United States to make a fortune in the future. ”
The fat man's words were straightforward, and Uncle Ming and the big golden tooth were suddenly choked up. Da Jian's teeth were flustered for a long time before he asked me: "Master Hu, is this ...... It's true? Have you really decided to go to the U.S. with Miss Yang? That and that...... So what's good about the United States, although the United States has developed material civilization, but it doesn't have everything, let's not talk about it elsewhere, just talk about our Beijing: the bright moon of the Temple of Heaven, the wind of the Great Wall, the lion of Lugou Bridge, the pine of Tanzhe Temple, in front of the Dongdan and Xidan Drum Tower, the Summer Palace of Five Altars and Eight Temples, the Dashilar in front of Wangfujing, and the Panjiayuan Liuli Factory. There will never be, and besides, how can you give up our old and good friends? ”
The more I listened to the big gold tooth, the more excited I became, it was moved by my true feelings, although the big gold tooth was a profiteer, but he was different from Uncle Ming, he had a common experience with me and the fat man. The intellectual youth who had been in the queue back then, regardless of whether they knew it or not, as long as they mentioned that they had been educated youths, the relationship between them was invisibly closer, and there was a sense of intimacy that they wanted to connect with each other. Just now, the fat man compared the big gold tooth with Uncle Ming, and the words were indeed a bit excessive, although the big gold tooth pointed to us to make a fortune, but he was really reluctant to part with us. So I said to Da Jinya: "Lao Jin, as the saying goes, it is hard to leave my homeland, and I am reluctant to leave China, this land soaked in the blood and tears of my comrades-in-arms, and even more reluctant to my relatives and partners. But when I was in Tibet, I found out that the fat man and I didn't know anything but fighting, and our way of thinking could no longer keep up with the progress of society, which could not but be said to be a kind of sadness. And I've been to so many places and seen a lot of secret artifacts in ancient tombs, and I have a feeling that some things should be left in the soil forever. ”
Since ancient times, most of the school captains who touched the gold chose to escape into the empty door and spend the rest of their lives with the ancient Buddha of the Qing Lantern. Because of the many things I have experienced, it is inevitable that in the end, I will have a feeling: it is not worth exchanging my life for money. The Ming utensils in the tomb are dead things, it is because of the world's possessiveness of it, so that it has value, for these objects in the depths of the soil to put their lives on it is too cost-effective, although the gold and stone jade are good, but not as precious as their own lives.
In addition, the most important thing is that the valuable thing is the root of all evil, the Ming weapons in the ancient mound, almost all of them are worth a lot, if you can successfully steal an ancient tomb, you can make a windfall, but no matter what the motive is, take the money and squander it yourself, use it to help the poor and the weak, after all, those Ming weapons will flow into the society, which will cause countless open and secret battles, bloody rain. All the sins caused by the Ming Weapon, if you want to talk about its source, I am afraid that in the final analysis, it must be attributed to the Captain of the Golden Tree who dug it out.
I said to the big golden tooth: "It is said that there are three hardships and three joys in a long life, but try to look at the bleak life of our group of people, it is really a bumpy and rugged road, we have also suffered the hardships that should be suffered, and we have suffered no less crimes, but until now we have become self-employed, and they are not productive, and they are almost on the verge of being eliminated by society." I don't think we can pin all our future destiny and hopes on the inverted bucket, in that case, the road ahead will only get narrower and narrower. We will never bow to fate, so the fat man and I want to go to the United States, start over in a new environment, learn something new, implement the general line and general task in all work, and create a life that is different from the present. ”
The fat man said: "What is the general route and the general task?" I don't think we've ever had such a plan, don't think of one play as one. ”
I said: "I also remembered when I saw the teacup of the Lushan Conference, and in the future, our general line is to make money, and the general task is to make money." I heard that there is a place in the Chinese community in the United States called Little Taipei, and when we make more money in the future, we will also build a small Beijing on the side of the US imperialists to corrupt those Yankees. ”
Big Golden Tooth said to me with tears in his eyes: "Hu Ye is still a person who does great things, I never dare to think of such a grand goal, it is better to take my brothers to build Little Beijing together." Let's let those Yankees change their minds in the future, and eat stick noodles and pasted cakes all day long, Wang Zhihe's stinky tofu and chili oil ......"
The fat man said: "Hardman smokes two puffs of cigarettes, fishes and kills the family and sings for a night." Beijing has had three unique since the early years, Peking Opera, rock sugar gourd, and courtyard house, and the fat man I made a fortune, so I filled the Empire State Building with rock sugar gourds. After saying that, the three of them laughed together, as if they were standing on the roof of the Empire State Building, with a panoramic view of the Manhattan neighborhood.
After laughing for a while, the atmosphere was relaxed, and I asked if what the big gold tooth had just said was a joke, and if he really wanted to go to the United States with us. Big Golden Tooth's father is not in good health, my family is in a dry rest house for the elderly, and there is no one else in the fat man's family, so Big Golden Tooth can't be like us, leaving his family and business and leaving, and this time he is going to the United States, which is far away from the ocean.
The big golden tooth said solemnly: "I just advised you not to go to the United States, that is reluctant to the two masters!" You have gone away and flown high, what is the meaning of leaving me alone in Panjiayuan? To tell you the truth, I have seen it through, Pan Jiayuan's business will be tossed for another ten years, and it will still mean the same as it is now, and I have long been thinking about going overseas to pan for gold. If I can make a fortune in the United States, the first thing is to receive a few real things, which is the lifelong wish of my brothers; The second is that the old man of our family also took it over, so that the old man could enjoy a few days of foreign blessings, but I don't have overseas relations, if I want to go out, it will be difficult to go to the sky, Hu Ye, can you say a few kind words to Miss Yang, and take me out with my feet. I heard that the United States of America is not only highly developed in material civilization, but also culturally inclusive, and even the generation of chickens and dogs and thieves can be used there, do you see if I am ...... these two times?"
I thought to myself that there would be a lot of people and it would be lively, so that I wouldn't have to live a monotonous life with the fat man over there, not to mention that Shirley Yang was not a human trafficker after all, so I had to temporarily promise the big gold tooth to go back and talk to him for him.
So the fat man and the big gold tooth and I began to figure out, how to find a home as soon as possible, how much money the three of them could make together, and where to watch the striptease show after arriving in the United States...... The conversation was in full swing, and he left aside Uncle Ming, who was inviting guests to eat fried noodles, almost as if he was hungry if he didn't exist. But Uncle Ming himself can't forget himself: "Are you mistaken, do you think the American world is so easy to fish?" But then again, there are indeed a lot of treasures that have fallen into the United States, and it is said that the most valuable piece of Chinese porcelain in the world, the Yuan Qinghua Chunhua Tianyuan Vase, is in the hands of a collector in Los Angeles, and the Qianlong Great Jade Mountain, also in the United States, all of which are priceless. Why don't I go with you, let's find some way to exchange this bottle, and in the future, when the money is sufficient, we can continue to do the business of ancient corpses, which is the fastest business. ”
I said to Uncle Ming, "If you want to go to the United States, it's your own business, and we have no right to stop you from going." However, I have to advise you that you are all at this age, and after arriving in the United States, you will do some antique business in a small way, enough to support your own retirement, don't think about making a comeback and dumpling zongzi. Hasn't Kunlun Mountain learned its lesson this time? Even if you bring back the glacier crystal corpse, the money is earned, but the wife is gone, and the goddaughter is not with you, and there are only two loser sons left. A dead body, no matter how valuable, is not as valuable as a living person. ”
After saying these words, even if I have done my best to Uncle Ming, I will see that I am almost full of food and drink, so I will say goodbye to Uncle Ke Ming and go home with the fat man with the big golden tooth.
