For Hong Yanwu, how to collect antiques, calligraphy and paintings in a different place is a critical issue.
How to get it back in the end is another level.
The main difficulty in this aspect lies in logistics and transportation.
Let's take the railway. Not only is it difficult to check in, but it's also slow, and it's easy to lose things. The key is that the violent loading and unloading environment is completely uncontrollable.
You may not be able to see it when loading.
Boxes of porcelain and jade are thrown in and out of the car with a bang.
I will definitely let you hold Zha Zha'er and cry without any space.
As for long-distance transportation by car, poor road conditions, safety issues, difficulty in dispatching orders by long-distance bus transportation companies, and difficulty in servicing truck drivers are also problems.
However, in comparison, in terms of personal circumstances, it is obviously more appropriate for Hong Yanwu to choose car transportation.
Because even though there was no expressway at the time, many sections of the road were gravel roads and dirt roads, which were indeed very bumpy.
But the distance from Taiyuan to Beijing is only five to six hundred kilometers.
As long as the car doesn't break down halfway, we'll be there in one day.
If the goods are not to be damaged, the key is to pack them well.
For example, Hong Yanwu personally gave demonstrations to "Chop Knife" and "Three Jumps" and set rigid requirements.
He nailed the wooden box and put it inside the cardboard box, used straw inside to prevent shock, and stuffed the utensils with newspapers.
Only wood was simple, but even so, Hong Yanwu also asked that the back of the truck be paved with large cardboard.
After the woodware is installed, it must be tied up with hemp rope to fix it.
In this way, the safety of the goods can be generally ensured.
As for the problem of car gangsters, it had to wait until the end of the 1980s, when the automobile logistics industry prospered to a certain extent.
There are not many long-distance vehicles at the moment, and there are at most some illegal shops ripping off customers and thieves stealing goods along the way.
For people like Hong Yanwu and others who have lived in the world, that is not a big deal.
As for long-distance bus companies, it is almost all about face and interests.
Since this was still a state-monopolized industry back then, vehicle resources were tight.
The bureaucratic habits of dispatching orders are very strong, and they like to take advantage of others and deliberately delay things.
Drivers don't like hard work and tiring work.
It is also inevitable to get involved, to solicit smuggled goods, to steal a few meals from customers on the road, to extort some cigarettes and alcohol, etc.
These are indeed uncomfortable realities.
But Zhao Yanping and the others are in the media and belong to the Youth League system, so their social network in Taiyuan is too wide.
It's easy to help Hong Yanwu find a few connections.
As for Hong Yanwu, it was not just to save money.
He wants the same thing, he has to deliver the goods safely, no matter what.
So he didn't care at all about eating, drinking, and giving cigarettes and wine.
In addition to the commission of 200 per person for the dispatcher and the driver.
This is really a fat job for people in long-distance transportation companies.
Then it's not up to him to leave?
If you want five cars for five cars, you can leave when you want.
The driver also promised not to attract outsiders and packed private goods.
It can be said that Hong Yanwu is probably the only person who can awaken the service awareness of long-distance transportation companies this year.
But five large trucks contained 2,000 pieces of antique calligraphy and paintings and hundreds of pieces of mahogany furniture.
The million-dollar deal signed and the close friendship with Zheng Yuanjie and Zhao Yanping were not all Hong Yanwu's gains from this trip.
This guy hunted rabbits in the grass, and even returned to the capital with a few live treasures.
What?
Of course he's the chef.
As a human being, he has to eat, right?
This is especially true for an "eating master" like Hong Yanwu who has good teeth, a good stomach, is young and strong, has plenty of money in his pocket, and knows how to eat and cook.
Not only do you need to eat, you also need to eat well.
But first, he must make it clear that the "good" he wants is not simply delicacies from mountains and seas.
To be honest, they fly in the sky, run underground, and swim in the sea.
In addition to matsutake, truffles, giant snails, foie gras, caviar, blue lobster, Kobe beef, he has seen almost all of these things.
Many things are not worthy of their name, and many things are exaggerated.
Many things are indeed worthy of the name, but now they are out of reach.
So what he said is good actually refers specifically to the wonderful taste created by the level of cooking skills.
In line with the principle of eating local specialties when he wants to eat, he has eaten all the old restaurants in Taiyuan this month.
What Qingheyuan's brains, Jingyili's steamed dumplings, Lin Xiangzhai's oily pork, Rat Cave's sesame dumplings, Liuweizhai's braised meat.
They all went away in search of the famous food and had a great meal.
But what he loves most is the haggis from Gulou and the noodles from Taiyuan Noodle Shop.
The mutton soup in the northern region is actually like "Daziying" and "Daguanying", which are the same place names that can reflect the situation where ethnic minority officers and troops are stationed.
They are all derived from the same origin and originated from ethnic minorities such as Mongolian and Hui.
For example, the mutton soup in Beijing is made by halal chefs.
But unfortunately, under the planned economic system and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the supply of beef and mutton in Beijing became tight.
What you can find is almost all frozen meat supplied by meat factories.
Regarding these things, in addition to keeping a close eye on the Hui compatriots, we also need to keep a close eye on famous people.
Therefore, the mutton soup in Beijing has been going downhill, and it is difficult for merchants to use fresh raw ingredients to cook it.
If you have good ingredients, you can still save them for making fried belly, scalding mutton, and roasting mutton, right?
As a result, the traditional white soup offal in Beijing gradually disappeared.
It has truly become a low-level thing.
The color of the soup is not white, and the aroma and softness of the haggis cannot be tasted.
In the end, it became like drinking bean curd soup, you must add sesame paste, chili oil, chive flowers and soybean curd for seasoning.
At this point, we have to ask, why do we drink Doupaoer soup like this?
Isn't it just because it's too plain and tastes bland?
It can be seen that this kind of offal soup tastes like chewing gum.
The only advantage is that it is cheap.
In contrast, Taiyuan's haggis is different.
There are not as many local dishes using mutton as the main ingredient as in the capital city, and the city itself produces sheep.
In this way, Taiyuan has maintained the most authentic, mellow and soft haggis cutting method.
The mutton offal here is fragrant and tender, and the mutton soup is delicious. Not only does the soup contain vermicelli, but also mutton, so it is not all offal.
It tastes great when paired with a scallion pancake.
Even though it is a hot summer day, Taiyuan people still flock to it.
To put it bluntly, any restaurant that offers breakfast has haggis cut on it. This is a characteristic of Taiyuan's catering industry.
Their love for haggis is really like that of Zhengzhou people eating spicy soup.
Not to mention the level of pasta in Shanxi.
There is an old saying, "All the pasta in the world can be found in Sanjin".
Taiyuan Noodle Shop, although it was founded in 1976, has a relatively short history, but it is really awesome!
It belongs to the state-owned system and was founded to serve the provincial capital.
At the beginning of its establishment, the best masters were mobilized.
There are countless varieties of business.
Covering shaomai, potato slices, oatmeal and fish, bowls, cat ears, not rotten noodles, peach blossom noodles, foreskin noodles, pick noodles, soy pot noodles, braised noodles, and various kinds of sesame cakes...
The world-famous noodles are just one of them.
In terms of business boom, it's even more remarkable.
This noodle shop can use 35 bags of noodles a day, which is equivalent to 5,100 bowls of noodles!
Therefore, when outsiders come to Taiyuan, they will usually be recommended to this store to taste authentic Taiyuan noodles.
Think about it, what is this scene?
To be honest, when Hong Yanwu was in Taiyuan for a month, he basically had to drink haggis or brain juice every morning when he got up early.
Dinner is usually served at a Taiyuan noodle restaurant.
Then the more you eat, the more you love it, can you stop thinking about it?
When I think about it, how great would it be to be able to abduct people?
Whether it's the big canteen at work, the "Polar Bear" restaurant, or the "big wine tank" at home, this is useful.
So he started to lure people away, insisting on poaching them away with huge sums of money.
But how can an old state-owned chef be easily tempted?
Only those who cannot live in their hometown will leave their hometown to seek life.
Most of the month passed like this, and Hong Yanwu didn't find anyone.
The only gain is just like getting the secret recipe of Taiye Chicken in Huacheng.
I spent money to pay tuition and learned Lin Xiangzhai's "Oiled Pork" and "Sweet and Sour Meatballs".
But the ingenuity of the mutton soup chef and noodle chef is not in the wok.
If they don't want to go, there's nothing he can do.
Fortunately, he knew how to adapt despite being unwilling to do so.
I think you have no desires or desires, but there are always family members, right?
He used his identity as the "Polar Bear" section chief to talk to others.
Tell me if any of your relatives have jobs. Go to the capital.
When I arrived in the capital, I took care of the job, including food and accommodation, and a monthly salary of at least 100 yuan.
Depending on how well you do it, even household registration and housing are not insurmountable.
The only condition is that the masters must also follow me and spend two and three months teaching me my skills before they can come back.
But it will never be in vain. In addition to taking care of food and housing, each person will receive 5,000 yuan and a heavy reward.
Not to mention, this really works.
No, a mutton soup chef and two noodle chefs were persuaded, and everyone tried their own way to fake it.
One person took a child of his own family or a relative and decided to follow Hong Yanwu for a visit.
So on the day of leaving for Beijing, Hong Yanwu's team was absolutely huge.
Not counting the five large trucks loaded with goods, there were also people pulling luggage, and two vans chartered by Hong Yanwu were following along.
I have to say that as soon as this guy left, all the land in Taiyuan was covered with dirt.
And behind him, there was "Chop Knife" and "San Beng Zi" and others continued to dig hard for him.
If it is gathered to this extent, can it still be called "shoveling the land"?
