Ning Weimin was comfortable and enjoying his "pure" happiness with peace of mind.
Five days have passed in a flash, and Army Day has passed.
Not only did I not find it boring to be so unconcerned with the world, but I became more and more detached from things, making my life more enjoyable.
And it got worse and worse, gradually showing the extravagant characteristics of a prodigal.
I bet the matter of his coming back didn't stop after all.
He called Zhang Shihui himself to inform him, but he did not meet with Zhang Shihui.
And on the phone, Ning Weimin didn't ask much about the situation of Tan Palace, even the cigarette shop they opened together.
Because in fact, this kid has only one purpose.
Just to have Tan Gong Restaurant send someone to deliver a whole block of ice for making ice sculptures every day.
Then bring along some roasted squab, grilled mutton skewers, asparagus, gyokushuang and the like, Japanese delicacies that are hard to eat, to satisfy his craving.
However, the good thing is that he does not take advantage of the public.
He paid for everything he wanted.
And it’s not boring either.
He asked the people from Tan Palace to cut the whole block of ice into eight equal parts in advance.
After it was delivered, each door in No. 2 Hospital could be given two large pieces the size of a radio cassette player, which could completely ensure that every household in the hospital would not be affected by the heat.
This kind of artificial ice is not only clean, but also extremely convenient to use.
Find a pot, put it in a corner, and put whatever you like in it, or freeze whatever you like.
By the way, it can make the room cooler.
If you are still reluctant to use electricity, put a fan next to it.
Hey! That’s awesome! It’s a simple version of “country air conditioner”!
Even with the doors and windows open, the room can be cooled down immediately, with the temperature dropping by two to three degrees.
So because of this matter, all the neighbors in No. 2 Courtyard thought of Ning Weimin.
He had to stay at home and didn't need to buy mung bean soup, sour plum soup or fruits every day. Several neighbors offered to give them to him.
No matter who eats something good, he will definitely not forget to have his share.
What if Ning Weimin doesn't want to stay at home and doesn't want to go to the Temple of Heaven?
He can also take a simple fishing rod and go fishing for half a day by the Tongzi River next to the Forbidden City.
Not only amuse yourself, but you can also get some small fish, shrimps, and lotus leaves for your big wine tank.
Or go to the Imperial Ancestral Temple and Zhongshan Park to drink tea or play chess under the old cypress trees.
When I'm tired of shopping, I come to Jinyuxuan to make a pot of tea and order steamed buns with winter vegetables.
Sitting on a wicker chair under the tin shed, I could spend an afternoon reading a book and listening to the chirping of cicadas.
This place is extraordinary. If there is one place in the capital city during the Republic of China where celebrities from all fields have left their footprints, then it is this tea shed.
The president, prime minister, ministers-in-chief, deputy ministers and other military and political figures of the Republic of China, as well as countless figures in the cultural, financial and industrial circles, almost all of them who have been to the capital have come to Jinyuxuan.
Zhang Henshui wrote "The Cause of Laughter" here, and Lu Xun also translated "Little John" here.
So having the opportunity to check in here and pretend to be a literary and artistic young man is actually quite worth recalling.
It is best to take a photo so that you can show off to your children when you are old. When you were in your prime, you still had romantic and artistic feelings.
Of course, if you get tired of doing these elegant things, you can always do something "popular".
From Qianmen Building, you run west, and you will find the Peace Arch one kilometer away.
You have to go directly through the alley from Meishi Street.
Just walk 500 meters to the west and you will arrive at Liulichang Ancient Culture Street, which has just been renovated.
Ning Weimin could have gone to Hongguang Pavilion to chat with the store manager he was already familiar with, and get a few high-quality items from there that were barely dated.
Or just go and squat in front of the cultural relics store and see if you can pick up the "leaks" of the national team.
Anyway, no matter what, since the antiquities market has not yet started, it will not be able to make people rich overnight.
At this time, the common people did not think too highly of the economic value of cultural relics and did not have high expectations.
Therefore, it is inevitable that Ning Wei, the thief, will not escape. With his eloquence and eyesight, he will be able to take home something decent.
This is how you can make money and relieve your boredom at the same time, how wonderful it is.
If you still want something more lively, that's okay, you can just go to the theater.
If Renyi's dramas are boring and there are no good movies to watch, it doesn't matter, because you can still watch Peking Opera.
These days, there are theaters everywhere in the capital. It is the most convenient time to listen to a play, especially since there are many famous actors and tickets are not expensive.
For example, the National Peking Opera Troupe was just restructured in 1985. After the implementation of the new system, it expanded from one troupe to four troupes, with the largest number of actors.
And there is also the folk Fenglei Peking Opera Troupe as an effective supplement.
In terms of price, it only costs 30 to 50 cents to watch a show.
Thirty years later, buying a Peking Opera ticket at the Huguang Guild Hall will be enough for people at this time to listen to it for a year.
The key is that the hotter the day, the better the show. All the famous actors are singing doubles, and it's almost late at night by the time the night show ends.
The cool breeze, the cool breeze blowing from the treetops, will cheer people up and make them feel that the few hairs they spent in the theater were not in vain.
Especially when the opera breaks up, Ning Weimin will come nearby for some midnight snacks.
At the snack bar, I want a bowl of chicken soup wontons, a cold dish, and a liter of beer.
Then, having had enough food and wine, he took the harvest from Liulichang with him, hummed "Shiro Visits His Mother" that he had almost learned, and walked home happily.
This is the end of this wonderful day.
Even for the most picky person, it would be difficult to find fault with this day.
I'm afraid retired veteran cadres won't be as comfortable as him.
There is no way, who made him become a truly wealthy man long ago?
Not to mention his own net worth of only 200 million US dollars.
Even if Banla's young boss, who is a "big wine vat", will stay at home and grow old, it will be enough to support him to live as he pleases.
And the key is that my family doesn’t object.
Kang Shude, who was the only one considered to be Ning Weimin's relative, had long since slapped him in the face and stopped interfering with his external affairs.
His apprentice knows very well that this old man is really thinking.
He firmly believed that even if everyone in the capital starved to death, his apprentice would not be poor.
Not to mention that this kid came back from Tokyo and brought back a lot of good things of national treasure level this time.
We care about his contribution to the country and nation and his filial piety, so how can we argue with him?
Come on, just mess around.
In Kang Shude's mind, even if Ning Weimin, his apprentice, really planned to stop doing his job and just become a street kid from now on, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Not to mention the money this kid earns, he won't be able to spend it all in his lifetime.
Even the things this kid has done before are not considered to be a disgrace to the master.
And the most important thing is that an apprentice can only be considered his apprentice if he has nothing to do.
At least we can see each other every day, chatting and teasing Menzi.
If you really run around all day, it will be bad.
Not to mention that you can't count on him when something happens at home, it's even difficult to meet him.
Look, the old man and the young man who depend on each other are truly destined.
Although they may not look like father and son, their master-disciple relationship, mutual understanding and trust are better than that of father and son.
I am afraid that even if they are blood relatives, there are not many people who understand each other as well as they do.
Don’t believe it, if you leave this matter to others, then your views are really very different.
Among other things, Ning Weimin wore a big vest and big pants when he came in and out of the alley these days.
And I don’t smoke anymore, which makes other people scratch their heads.
As time went by, looking at his appearance, some people in the neighborhood in Shan'er Hutong began to gossip and spread gossip.
Some people speculate that Ning Weimin was probably fired by his foreign bosses.
Now that I am unemployed and at home, I have nothing to scratch my head about.
If you don’t usually keep your leather shoes spotless and wear a tie when you go out, why don’t you even bring a watch?
Some people also speculate that Ning Weimin made a mistake in his lifestyle when he went to the colorful world overseas.
Foreigners don't care, but they can't hide it from the organization after all.
No, the organization is aware of everything and is ordering him to come back, suspend his duties, reflect, and write an inspection.
They say that the root of the tongue can crush a person to death. This is absolutely true.
Even though Ning Weimin had never offended anyone, these neighbors were not necessarily malicious.
However, this kind of gossip that makes people unable to argue is still spread everywhere and has quite a market.
Within a few days, not to mention all the neighbors in Courtyard No. 2 came to inquire and asked with concern whether he was in trouble.
Even Director Li from the street and the director of the Brocade Box Factory had heard about it and asked someone to tell Ning Weimin that they wanted to recruit people.
The general meaning is that foreigners do not understand talents and it is their loss. If they are really going to be fired, don't lose heart.
Whether it is a street factory or a brocade box factory, as long as he is willing and does not dislike it, he can choose any job.
Even if you want to be the leader, it's not without negotiation.
This made Ning Weimin, who didn't take it seriously at first, extremely surprised and felt very complicated in his heart.
It feels warm and comfortable, but also a bit nonsensical and makes me laugh or cry.
And the most amazing thing is that this is not an isolated incident. Ning Weimin soon discovered that even the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau had misunderstood him.
I have to admit that when I come back this time, there are some people and things that I cannot afford to delay.
For example, donating the bronzes purchased from overseas in the past six months as well as the books, picture albums, calligraphy and paintings that can no longer be preserved on their own to the country is a major event that Ning Weimin cannot be lazy and cannot delay.
According to the rules, before returning, we still have to contact the domestic side through our embassy in Japan about this matter.
So when he came back, within a few days, the Cultural Relics Bureau couldn't wait and took the initiative to invite him.
Since the two parties have already dealt with each other once, they already know each other deeply and have a tacit understanding.
This time, the Cultural Heritage Bureau did not arrange for reporters in a big way, nor did it make any effort to prepare for an awards ceremony. It only sent a small car to pick up people as a courtesy.
Ning Weimin didn't show up either. For the sake of convenience, he wore comfortable and simple clothes and directly sent the donated items to the Cultural Relics Bureau in a trolley suitcase.
As a result, he never expected that the person in charge of the Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau would see him as an ordinary person.
It was so different from the Spring Festival when he wore a suit, coat, leather shoes and tie, and looked like a fake foreign devil. He actually misunderstood that he was down and out.
Comparing the precious cultural relics with the national treasure level that he sent, it is estimated that the price of his acquisition must be worth at least tens of thousands of yuan.
The cadre in charge of the reception was filled with emotion and could not control his inner excitement. He almost shed tears on the spot.
Then he held Ning Weimin's hand firmly, thanked him again and again, and asked him sincerely if he would like the Cultural Relics Bureau to do anything for him.
This was so good that Ning Weimin was completely confused on the spot.
He really didn't think there was anything special about these things that could make the other person so happy.
After talking about it for a long time, both parties finally figured it out.
The Cultural Relics Bureau thought that Ning Weimin was so exhausted that he had gone bankrupt by buying cultural relics for the country.
It was just such an inexplicable mess. After that day, Ning Weimin couldn't help but laugh every time he thought about it.
But having said that, making such a joke is still better than nothing.
Because Ning Weimin didn't want fame or rewards, and considering his status as a businessman, the Cultural Relics Bureau felt embarrassed after all, and felt sorry for letting an individual spend so much money on behalf of the country.
Then he adopted a special way to reward him.
After on-site discussions, several people in charge at the site unanimously decided to give Ning Weimin one of the several storefront rooms that Liulichang had not assigned yet.
The rental contract can be signed for fifteen years, and it is even free of rent, so he can do whatever he wants.
In other words, it can be regarded as a reward for his contribution to the country and a thank you for his contribution to the return of overseas cultural relics.
That’s Liulichang. Even the famous overseas cultural and commercial street,
It is also the only place where cultural industries gather in Beijing these days, and its commercial value is self-evident.
Especially in this street, which has just been renovated, all the storefronts and buildings are planned by the state.
It is difficult for a public unit to apply for a shop as a store, let alone a private one.
Such great things that others dream of can be obtained effortlessly from Ning Weimin. This can be regarded as good rewards for good people.
Of course Ning Weimin was very happy, and he would definitely not be stupid enough to refuse and then push it further.
So he was not polite and readily selected a front-facing house with a usable area of about 200 square meters from the drawings marked by the Cultural Relics Bureau.
Although the specific location of this store is not on the main road, it is not bad.
Because it is right opposite the main entrance of Rong Baozhai.
In other words, Ning Weimin will be neighbors with Rong Baozhai from now on.
From now on, anyone who comes out of Congrong Baozhai will see him at the store opposite.
What kind of reputation is Rong Baozhai?
What level of guests are there?
It's beautiful to think about. Isn't this enough for him to be full of expectations and lively?
To be honest, he had already thought about what he could do in the store.
The craft manufacturers in Beijing that he cooperated with all lacked a sales department to display their fine products to the outside world.
Teachers and students at the Academy of Fine Arts also need a window to sell their works.
It just so happens that he can use this store to do such a thing.
In Liulichang, a cultural and commercial district where foreigners gather, he also planted his flag, expanding foreign exchange earnings while also meeting everyone's needs.
How good is this?
Of course, opening a store means opening a store. When he comes to open a store, he must not be as stubborn as most people, saying that selling things means setting up a counter to sell things.
If you want to trade well, you have to be smart.
So seeing that there was no restaurant in Liulichang, he planned to also sell coffee and tea and provide customers with a place to rest.
In this case, it would be better to open a branch in the capital in the name of Huiwentang Bookstore.
The name is a bookstore, but in fact it is a literary cafe to attract customers, selling high-end goods and works of art without being obvious.
