However, Ning Weimin encountered a setback when he first met "Zhang Dashao".
But based on his ability to read people, he believed that "Zhang Dashao" was a straight-tempered person.
Because Ping Bianjiangong introduced the situation of "Zhang Dashao".
It was not difficult for Ning Weimin to guess that this old man was mean and unkind to others.
It is probably caused by being used to the warmth and coldness of the world and experiencing a lot of hardships in the world.
After all, he is old and alone and lonely.
Our country was in a lot of turmoil before the 1980s.
The obvious truth is that if a person encounters too many bad things in his life.
It is easy to become cynical and instinctively reject and distrust outsiders.
What's more, "Zhang Dashao" is also a top chef.
This not only proves that he has a high IQ, talent, and mental perseverance.
It will also create a pride that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, indicating that there is a paranoid side in his character.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to reach such heights in the profession.
And such people have the most backbone and often only recognize their own reasons.
As long as it goes with his wishes.
If not, it is the most difficult and unreasonable piece of old Japanese melon to chew.
In fact, there is a similar example in Ning Weimin's life, that is his master Kang Shude.
I think back when they didn't deal with each other, the old man just didn't like him and couldn't do anything.
But once he recognized the fate between the two of them, the old man's old-fashioned enthusiasm came out.
No matter what, I was even willing to give him the house for free.
Even if Ning Weimin didn't say anything, the old man would take the initiative to make long-term plans for his apprentice.
The gap can be so big!
So, Ning Weimin has rich experience in dealing with such a stubborn old man.
Since he knows that even Kang Shude, an expert who relies on the study of human relations and sophistication for his living, is inevitably caught up in emotions.
Naturally, there will be no need to care about "Zhang Dashao", the master who hangs around the stove every day.
He even knows that when they are not familiar with each other, it is better not to go straight to the point.
You have to pretend to be a big clove of garlic first and play "winding and twisting" with "Zhang Dashao".
Only by feeling the old guy's pulse can we communicate effectively, otherwise he might be dismissed by "Zhang Dashao" with just a few words.
In short, if nothing else, let’s put politeness first.
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face.
Acknowledge your mistakes when they are wrong, and give in when you are soft. Relaxing the atmosphere is the first step.
"Uncle, uncle, you must be Master Zhang. What you said is that your criticism is right. We young people are not sensible. It is indeed very rude. We should have come out earlier. Look, we are almost twenty minutes late.
.It’s really outrageous.”
"Although today, we really didn't expect that it would take nearly an hour to get there by car from Daqianmen to the back of Jingshan. Not to mention the trouble of reversing, we also caught up with a car that broke down halfway. But objective difficulties do not mean that
It's a subjective negligence. We really have a long memory. If there is another time, we will definitely come by bike to make sure it's not too late."
"We also understand that the reason why this matter makes you angry is not because of the length of delay, but because it makes no sense. You are an elder, so we cannot let you wait for us. How can we people in the capital be so unruly?
?I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please don't remember the faults of villains and please bear with me."
"Besides, we really have to thank you. Who doesn't have something wrong with them? But only by giving honest advice can others see your flaws. Otherwise, you'll just feel good about yourself. It's floating in the sky and you'll never make progress. So I can honestly say
It’s really a good thing that some people criticize us and scold us. You teach us how to behave. This is for our own good..."
What a good guy, just these words from Ning Weimin.
Not only Zhang Shihui and Bian Jiangong were dumbfounded, but "Zhang Dashao" was also stunned.
He had never seen anyone who was scolded by him and still be so good-tempered, but instead praised him profusely.
He blinked, wondering whether Ning Weimin was shamelessly retreating in order to advance, or whether he was pretending to be confused and was feeling bad.
But no matter what, it’s hard to say anything more when we get here.
So I could only cough a little helplessly and let the courtyard door open.
"Okay, stop poking at the door and come in..."
But even though he let people in, it was obvious that his vigilance had also increased.
This "Zhang Dashao" probably knew the disadvantages of being picked up, and he made a direct statement when he entered the courtyard.
"We have something to talk about. Since you came here to see the house, let's look at the house. We are all very busy, so let's stop talking about useless things."
Ning Weimin smiled and didn't take it seriously.
Instead, he echoed what "Zhang Dashao" said, patted the shoulders of Zhang Shihui and Bian Jiangong, who were even more confused, and urged them.
"Didn't you hear what Master Zhang said? Don't be stunned. Go inside and look at the room."
The layout of the house is very simple.
The so-called Sanheyuan is actually just one step smaller than the Siheyuan.
The house in "Zhang Dashao" lacks a section facing west.
However, this situation is man-made.
what's up?
Dare to love "Zhang Dashao", his ancestors were once rich.
Not only does his old house have a complete appearance, it used to be a serious courtyard house, but it also had a small courtyard.
But later the family fell into decline.
In 1948, I first asked "Zhang Dashao" to sell the Moon Gate and the courtyard to a neighbor.
A few years later, he sold half of the main courtyard to someone else again.
That time, it means that for the seven rooms in the north of the courtyard, the walls were built starting from the three rooms on the west side and ending on the three rooms on the south side.
Through this cutting method, the main courtyard of the Zhang family's old house was divided into two, and it became two households.
In the end, "Zhang Dashao" himself was left with twelve rooms: the fourth in the north, the third in the south, and the fifth in the east.
So strictly speaking, half of the yard is missing.
Maybe it's because the matter of liquidating one's family and liquidating it has become a regular pattern.
"Zhang Dashao" is short of money again this time, isn't he?
Naturally, he started thinking about this house again.
Although the government has stopped the sale of private houses, if he can't sell them, he can still rent them.
It's a coincidence that "Zhang Dashao" was thinking about where to find tenants and who to rent the house to.
Bian Jiangong was also in the unit and was asking around for news about the front house for Ning Weimin.
Isn’t this what happened?
"Zhang Dashao" condescended to him and chatted with Bian Jiangong for a few words, which led to today's meeting.
Seriously speaking, the basic conditions of his small courtyard are really good.
First of all, the location of this courtyard is relatively close to Di'anmen Street.
Even counting the half of the yard he gave to others, it was only two houses away from the street at most.
There is a bus stop just outside, so transportation is more convenient.
Secondly, the quality of his house is also good.
Although the house is old, real materials were used when it was built. The foundation is solid and it is warm in winter and cool in summer.
The courtyard is also paved with blue bricks, which does not retain water and is less muddy.
There is also a pomegranate tree planted in the courtyard with countless flower buds and excellent growth, which looks auspicious.
Life is also very convenient. Not only does it have an independent tap, but it also has a small kitchen that you can use by yourself.
If there were any shortcomings, it would probably be that the house was damp and that the courtyard door facing the street was too cold.
