Chapter 131 The first time I arrived at the Xu family was praised
If you want to ask the most enviable place in the capital, then the vast majority of aborigines will give the same answer, that is, different from the courtyard of the hutong and the courtyard, most of the people who can live in the compound have a bit of a background.
In later film and television dramas, most of the courtyard culture occasionally mentioned actually refers to the end of the fifties, in response to the call of the motherland, a large number of soldiers and cadres from all over the world gathered to go to the capital.
Due to the large number of these outsiders, the courtyard houses and alleys were too crowded for them, so in order to facilitate their own food, clothing, housing and transportation, they simply built a compound outside the city of Kyoto.
Each self-contained system, built by the mountain and lined with high walls, revealing an inviolable momentum, the main gate of the compound is guarded by soldiers in shifts. Beyond the high wall, it is like a paradise inside, with all kinds of living facilities.
There are not many film and television descriptions of the courtyard culture that can be seen in later generations. It's just that compared with these compounds, what is really more enviable is these single-door courtyards in front of you. If you can live in this kind of courtyard, then you can be regarded as a real powerful family.
In his previous life, he traveled to Kyoto from the forest area, and Makiyama was fortunate to be the son of this kind of single-door courtyard. From the day he moved in, all he wanted most was to escape from this courtyard. In this life, he didn't want to set foot in that yard again.
This is also the reason why, even though the car passing in front of the courtyard gate, Mushanhe can still maintain a calm face. In the eyes of others, the unattainable high-gate compound, but he was not interested in it at all.
I didn't enter the house, but the high-gate compound was not a home for Xu Zhengdao at all!
Arriving at the courtyard where the Xu family lived, Mu Shanhe, who got off the car, took out the gifts prepared in advance. Although he doesn't like to deal with people from these big families very much, the Xu family takes good care of him, and he has to thank him for it.
Under the guidance of Sun Quanchang, he finally stepped into the threshold and entered the Mushanhe of the Xu family's compound, and saw an old man and a middle-aged man waiting in the courtyard, and quickly recognized the identity of the old man. As for the middle-aged man, he also knew who the other party was.
In his previous life, he was also one of these single-door courtyards, and he still knew a little about the people who lived in other houses. The difference is that in his previous life, in the eyes of these people who are single-minded, he was the object of private ridicule and discussion.
From the day he entered Beijing to live in the Xu family, he was engraved with a code name to replace his real name, which was 'illegitimate child'. Although there are illegitimate children in other courtyards, few of them are taken into the main house.
After Sun Quanchang introduced him, Mu Shanhe also said respectfully: "Old Xu, Uncle Xu, I'm really sorry for taking the liberty of bothering!" ”
"Don't be so formal! To be honest, since Ah Wen told him that he had made a close friend in the Northeast, his father and I were very curious. Ah Wen, this kid has a high vision, and there are really not many people who can be recognized by him.
Originally, I wanted to invite you to the capital for a light meal, but Awen kept saying that it was not convenient for you, so it was not easy to force it. It's rare that you happened to be passing by this time, so I arranged for Ah Chang to take her over for a meal, don't you mind this? ”
"Xu Laoyan is serious! In fact, Brother Xu is also very good, and it is my honor to work with him. ”
"There is no need to praise the boy before us. What kind of virtue Awen has, we as elders know it in our hearts. I was worried that he was obsessed with money, but now he has grown a lot, and this is all your credit! ”
"Don't dare to be! I'm really ashamed of that! ”
Standing in the courtyard and politely, in the end, Father Xu invited Mu Shanhe to the living room for tea. When he entered the living room, Mu Shanhe also brought out the prepared gifts. Seeing this scene, Xu Lao also smiled and said, "Child, it's too polite, right?" ”
"It's the first time for the younger generation to come to the door, if you come empty-handed, I'm afraid it's really rude. I know that Xu Lao and Uncle Xu should not lack anything, so I didn't prepare anything valuable, all of which were homemade souvenirs.
These four bottles of wine, two of which are suitable for Xu Lao's drinking, drinking a small glass every day when he falls asleep can effectively improve sleep, promote blood circulation, and even to a certain extent, can relieve Xu Lao's usual muscle soreness and joint pain and other symptoms. ”
"Oh! Does this medicinal wine still have this medicinal effect? Did you know I have arthritis? ”
"Brother Xu mentioned before that my grandfather also studied some Chinese medicine in his early years and knew some prescriptions for brewing medicinal wine. Compared with the medicinal liquor sold in the market, I am more confident in the medicinal liquor I brew because the medicinal herbs are more authentic. ”
"Okay, since you are so kind, then I will accept this gift. In fact, the medicinal wine you asked Arwen to bring back before, all of them said that the medicine worked well. Listen to Arwen, you brew a lot of medicinal wine on your farm? ”
"Yes! It's just that those medicinal wines, if they want to exert their medicinal effects, they have to be cellared for a period of time. In my opinion, authentic and authentic Chinese medicinal materials will only become more and more rare in the future. And to make medicinal wine, only the medicinal materials are good, and the medicinal effect will be better. ”
After listening to Mu Shanhe's introduction, Xu Zhongyi also agreed: "This is the truth!" As far as I know, the Hunhe River, where you are located, is also a major ginseng producing area. The wild ginseng there is becoming more and more rare now, right? ”
"Yes! Every year, during the ginseng picking season, there are too many people who go into the mountains to pick ginseng. Now, even if you go deep into the mountains and old forests, if you want to harvest the wild ginseng of the previous year, I am afraid that the chance is very small. To brew this medicinal liquor, at least one wild ginseng that is more than 50 years old must be added. ”
"Then this medicinal wine is indeed quite precious!"
The remaining two bottles of medicinal wine were aimed at a middle-aged man of Xu's father's age. At this age, many times you feel powerless. If you take this medicinal wine regularly, you can greatly alleviate this distress.
On the other hand, the remaining sustenances are really authentic souvenirs, dried lion's mane mushrooms and hazelnut mushrooms, as well as wild vegetables that are also dried in the sun. It looks like something is very ordinary, but it can also represent the heart of Mu Shanhe.
seems to know that Mu Shanhe is very evasive about his life experience, and Xu Zhongyi's father and son did not mention the Liu family in the end. Through the time of eating, Xu's father also discussed some things with Mu Shanhe about the reform, and found that the other party could indeed talk eloquently.
The most important thing is that Mu Shanhe can see the essence of policies and problems through phenomena. This point, even Xu Siwen can't do it. It was only at this moment that Xu's father confirmed that his son really admired this young man.
Referring to the border trade, Mu Shanhe did not hide it: "Elder Xu, the previous two masters of the polar bear passed away unexpectedly, causing their political situation to become extremely complicated. The new ruler is in office, and if he wants to change the status quo, he will definitely make changes.
Those who do business with us on the other side actually have the support of forces behind them. Maybe those people will think that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, but for the new master, will he always sit idly by? Either you don't do it, and you will definitely be shocked! ”
Although he knew that the polar bear was beginning to enter the countdown to collapse, in front of Xu Zhongyi, Mu Shanhe didn't want to be a prophet. He only talked about the political situation in response to polar bears before making the decision to suspend border trade this year.
Xu Zhongyi, who is also an old man in the political arena, also feels that Mu Shanhe's analysis is reasonable. Most of the people who do business with other people are concerned about making money, but Mu Shanhe can see deeper things, which is really commendable!
