The fat man has a jade pendant passed down from his family, which he always wears. This jade was given to his father by a commander of the Northwest Field Army. Back then, the commander led the troops into Xinjiang and eliminated a group of bandits in the Niya Oasis. This piece of jade was given to his father by a commander in the Northwest Field Army.
The jade is what the bandit wears. It's said to be a jade pendant, but actually it doesn't look much like it. It has a simple and weird shape. It has some random patterns engraved on it, which looks like a map or text. I don't know what it's actually used for.
This piece of jade has been shown to me many times. My family used to have a lot of antiques. When I was a child, I heard my grandfather tell me a lot about gold, stone and jade. However, I couldn't tell the value of this piece of jade.
Fatty wanted to sell this piece of jade to get some capital for business, but I stopped him. This is what your father left for you. If you can help it, don't sell it. We're not at the point of desperation. If it really doesn't work, I'll find a home.
It’s okay to ask for money. Anyway, our old man and old lady have made up a lot of salary.
The two of us saw an empty spot on the side of the road, so we parked the three-wheeler and bought two bowls of braised and huoshao nearby for lunch.
Luzhuhuoshao is a soup made from pig offal. It contains large intestines and the like, soaked in chopped huoshao. It costs more than one yuan a bowl, which is economical and affordable.
I put too much spicy food in this bowl. It was so spicy that I had tears and runny nose, and I stuck out my tongue to breathe.
The fat man took two bites and said to me: Lao Hu, I wanted to help you make money in the past few years, but I didn’t expect that the national economy has been revitalized now. The situation is not a small good, but a great one. It’s not like when I first started practicing stalls.
At that time, there were only three places selling pop music tapes in Beijing. It really hurts you a bit. Your father was already a division commander before he retired and enjoyed the treatment of a deputy municipal cadre. Why don't you go back and let your old man go through the back door?
If you arrange a job in the agency, don't suffer with me.
I patted the fat man's big belly and said: Brother, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. If I really want to go to the office, I can go to the office at any time, but I don't dare to go. Do you know why? I'm afraid. If I'm in
I sat still in one place and couldn't think of anything else. They were all about my dead comrades. They were all dangling in front of my eyes. When I saw them, my intestines almost broke. Let's go east now.
Running around doing some small business, I can distract my mind and think about other things, otherwise I will have to go crazy.
After so many years in the army, I have learned nothing more than how to boost morale. I comforted the fat man: We are no longer miserable now. Isn’t there still braised food to eat? I remember when I was in the Kunlun Mountains, that damn talent
It's really miserable. One year during the Spring Festival, everyone was homesick, and many recruits secretly cried. When the division commander saw that it was okay, he quickly made dumplings for everyone and improved the food. You might not believe the dumplings, even if you tell me, Kunlun
There are no green vegetables in the mountains. The vegetables are more expensive than gold. There is plenty of meat. They are all dumplings with meatballs. The altitude is too high and the water cannot be boiled. The dumplings are all raw and the meat filling inside is red. You
Can you imagine what it tasted like? I ate seventy or eighty of them just like this. I almost died from starvation. I was so greedy. I haven’t eaten anything cooked in the past few years. I was so greedy. The next day I gave it a try.
The person was taken to the hospital. He couldn't digest it and his stomach felt like iron. Do you still remember what Hong Yanli said? The night before the victory of the revolution is always the coldest. Our business can't always be like this. It's hard to sell audio tapes. We
You can sell other things. Just like what the old man said: If we are not allowed to go up to Lushan Mountain, we will go to Jinggang Mountain. If the People's Liberation Army doesn't follow me, I will go to the Red Army.
I turned on the tape recorder, and the two large speakers immediately played music.
Because the tape recorder is relatively shabby and the sound quality is very poor, no matter how beautiful the songs are played from it, it will sound like a broken gong.
But Fatty and I didn't find it unpleasant. Anyway, the singing was better than the two of us. After my ideological education work in simple and in-depth terms, Fatty became cheerful. He weighed his calves to the rhythm of the music and shouted at the top of his voice:
Take a look, take a look, the original version from Hong Kong and Taiwan, cut off the arms and legs, sell them at a big sale, lose money and make a profit.
Pedestrians passing by and those doing business and setting up stalls around us all cast curious glances at us. Next to us was a man who set up a stall selling antiques. He came over and said hello to us. When he smiled, a big gold tooth appeared in his mouth.
Big Gold Tooth took out a cigarette and gave it to both of us.
I took the cigarette and took a look: it was of good quality, it was an American cigarette, Marlboro.
While lighting a cigarette for me, Da Jinya said: You two are selling pop songs at the Panjiayuan Antique Market, but no one in the forty-nine cities can figure this out. You two are really the first to do it.
I took a big puff of the cigarette and blew out two streaks of white smoke from my nose. This American smoke is very powerful. I raised my head and said to Da Jinya: Don’t use this to sway us. We brothers are here to hide from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.
I ran here accidentally, took a rest and left.
As a result, the two sides talked about it. They were not outsiders when they were in love. Da Jinya’s family was in Hainan Island. He had been in the army in Yunnan before. His father’s generation lived there when the People’s Liberation Army went south. The roots of the family are all from Sanye.
Where do you come from, who are your elders in, and which divisions and regiments do you belong to?
However, Da Jinya's father was not a cadre. He was a craftsman who fought against the people. Later, he had young men captured. During the Battle of Xu Beng, that is, during the Battle of Huaihai, his army revolted and joined the People's Liberation Army. He himself has always been
He worked as a cook in the army. His legs were frozen on the Korean battlefield and he was paralyzed for life. After the reform and opening up, he moved from Hainan to Beijing to collect some antiques and start a business.
Those who can speak are not as good as those who can listen. He said it nicely. A craftsman who fights backwards is just a thief who digs graves. Others can't tell these things, but I was brought up by my grandfather. These things
He told me a lot.
Experts will know if there are any if they stretch out their hands. Going further, I asked Da Jinya: Your old man used to be a gold-touching captain, did he find any big rice dumplings? "Big Zongzi" is a saying popular among tomb robbers.
Just like the bandits in the mountains cannot directly say that they killed people and set fires when talking to each other, they all have a set of argot cuts. Zongzi means that the corpse in the tomb is relatively well preserved and has not rotted. Touching a big zongzi means that you are in trouble.
, refers to unclean things such as zombies and evil spirits, dry zongzi means that the corpse in the tomb is so rotten that only a pile of bones is left, and meat zongzi means that there are many valuable things on the corpse.
When Da Jinya heard this, he immediately respected me and insisted on inviting me and the fat man to Dongsi to eat hotpot mutton and talk in detail. So the three of them packed up their things and ran to Dongsi together for a book alliance.
