Chen Hai shook his head and said: "Come on, although I am not a rich person, I still know what you rich people think. In the eyes of people like you, a tall building like mine is a symbol of poor taste. I
There used to be a big house next door to my hometown, and he told me that the old big houses in Jinmen didn’t live in bungalows in the concession even if they had money, so they settled in the Qingqingtang Washe Siheyuan, and that’s what they wanted.”
Jiang Hua asked with a smile: "You kid must have been thinking about how you will live when you get rich in the future, and you are thinking about building a four-bedroom courtyard house in Jinmen to live in, right?"
Chen Hai said regretfully: "Haha, I really had this idea before. It's a pity that even if this kind of old-fashioned house is basically uninterested, I can't afford it."
At this time, Chen Hai's daughter-in-law walked out of the kitchen, wiped her hands on her apron, and said with a smile: "You are Jiang Hua, right? Our old Chen always mentions you. This is your younger brother and sister. Come out with Hua'er,
So beautiful."
Lan Jieying said politely: "Sister-in-law complimented me, are you busy? Let me help you."
"No, no, there's no such rule." Chen Hai's wife quickly stopped her: "You are a guest, so there is no way for guests to help. Don't worry, I can handle things in the kitchen. I'll be fine in a while."
Chen Hai stood next to Jiang Hua and said: "Squad leader, I seem to have seen your wife somewhere. She seems to be in some Hong Kong movie."
"Yes, she used to be an actress and host in Xiangjiang, and now she is studying at Beijing Film Academy."
Chen Hai smiled and said: "You are really a beast. You can attack students who are still in school."
"Go away, hurry up and make some good tea." Jiang Hua sat on the sofa and said like an uncle: "Would you like melon and fruit snacks? Come to your house and let me just wait and eat noodles."
Chen Hai took out several red jars from next to the sofa, grabbed some peanuts, melon seeds, and walnuts and placed them on the table.
"Eat it, there's still more left for you."
After saying that, Chen Hai turned on the TV, and the three of them were eating and drinking while watching TV. Jiang Hua and Chen Hai casually chatted about recent events.
After chatting for a few words, Chen Hai was called by his wife to help in the kitchen. Lan Jieying followed her in. After helping for a short time, Chen Hai's wife pushed him out.
Lan Jieying said with a surprised look: "I saw there were so many vegetables in it, so I said there were only four of us and we couldn't eat that many vegetables, so I asked my sister-in-law to prepare less. My sister-in-law said, these are all dishes for eating noodles.
, I saw at least 20 kinds of noodles. This is not noodles at all, it is completely mixed with vegetables. After making a bowl of noodles, can you still see them?"
"Eating noodles is very sacred in Tianjin, so we can't take it too much trouble. If there are no more than ten or twenty kinds of dishes, we can't call them noodles. They may even prepare a few more kinds of stewed vegetables."
Lan Jieying said: "If I were from Jinmen, I could go without eating noodles for a year. It would be too troublesome, even more troublesome than us southerners making soup."
"So you are from Xiangjiang. In the north, such as Tianjin and Beijing, noodles with soybean paste and braised noodles are good foods that are only eaten during festivals. Just like dumplings, they are beliefs, not just simple
It’s time to eat and drink.”
Lan Jieying said with a smile: "It's not like us eastern Guangdong people who believe in drinking soup. If you don't drink soup for a day, you will feel uncomfortable and wet."
We finally finished our meal of noodles, but it was almost one o'clock when we ate them. The table was full, and only three or four fish stews could be considered cooked dishes. The rest were all noodles.
The table was full.
Chen Hai smiled and said: "Don't be surprised. This is the rule for us Jinmen people to eat noodles. If there is less, the noodles will be tasteless, so we will not compromise."
Lan Jieying felt very comfortable eating it. It tasted better than the fried noodles in Beijing.
After the meal, Chen Hai and Jiang Hua sat on the sofa drinking tea and chatting, while Lan Jieying and Chen Hai's wife were doing some household chores.
Jiang Hua said: "Take me to your customs confiscated goods warehouse this afternoon to see if there are any good cars. I'm going to buy two."
"You just got twenty Land Cruisers, do you still want a car?"
"Isn't that car donated? It's not for me to use." Jiang Hua said with a smile: "The car I want this time is driven by my wife and I, one for each person."
"Look, most of the people who made you a bastard still ride bicycles, so you have to drive a car, one for each person. It's time to divide the land among the rich."
Jiang Hua leaned back and said, "Just tell me whether you can help me with this."
"Help." Chen Hai said with a smile: "What a big deal. We really have a few good cars in our warehouse. Most people can't afford them, but they have been sitting there gathering dust. If you really buy them, it's considered a gift."
We generated revenue.”
Jiang Hua laughed loudly: "Then let's walk."
The three people drove to the customs, and the same staff member opened the confiscated warehouse as in the morning, and the shelves were filled with items.
Jiang Hua said curiously: "There are a lot of confiscated things."
Chen Hai shook his head and said: "It just opened up not long ago. Now foreign trade is gradually increasing, and some people import things from abroad. They always like to bring some private goods, thinking that we can't find it out. After unpacking and checking, everything will be clear."
Well, these people are just lucky, some of the back taxes they paid were returned, and some people were unwilling to pay the back taxes, so they just left them here to eat ashes."
Jiang Hua pointed to a shelf and said, "Hey, there are so many ivory here. These things are very valuable."
"It's all brought in, and we can't sell it cheaply. Occasionally, some handicraft companies will come to buy some. You know, the handicraft companies are also in a recession now, and you can't buy much. There are also gemstones and mahogany over there.
, there are too many expensive things.”
Jiang Hua calculated it and said: "These ivory, mahogany, gems, furs, please calculate how much they cost, I want them all."
Chen Hai asked curiously: "What do you want these things for?"
"Collect it." Jiang Hua said generously: "In the future, these things will become less and less, and people's environmental awareness will become stronger and stronger. It will be difficult to buy these things again, so I can buy them now.
Come on, please charge more."
Chen Hai smiled and said: "You are a billionaire and you have more knowledge than me. Since you said you can increase the price, I will also buy some."
After Chen Hai finished speaking, he pointed to a shelf in the distance and said: "There are also red wines imported from foreign countries over there. It is said that they are all imported from Gaul. Do you want them?"
"There are still these good things, so I must take them." Jiang Hua said happily: "As long as they are from the five major wineries, I will take them all."
"I don't know about the five major wineries. When the time comes, I will give you the product catalog. You just have to tick whatever you want."
