Fortunately, there are people in the Hong family who know the goods after all, and they don't just have negative opinions. The old man Hong Lucheng was quite happy when he saw these cars.
"What? It's less than four hundred in total? Well, I used to have a car like this, and the money was well spent. These are all good things. Back then, let alone buying them, renting them for a day cost a foreign dollar. Okay.
, the third child. I didn’t expect that you still have this hobby of buying foreign cars. But I would like to ask you, what are the brands of these cars you bought, and do you know them all? "
Unexpectedly, his father was so interested. Of course, Hong Yanwu had to show off and told him what he knew. "These two cars are British Crested and this is British Oryx. These two are probably German cars. I don't know what brand they are."
knew."
But I didn't expect that Hong Lucheng burst into laughter as soon as he heard it. "Haha, you are so serious. What's Fengtou? That's what the people are calling nonsense. The real name of this brand is 'British Lanling'. Because its factory is located in
In Langling Street, Nottingham, England. However, if you can know the crested, it will be good to know the antelope. I am afraid that not many young people of your generation even understand this."
"Dad, please give me some advice. What are the other two cars?" It was the first time that Hong Yanwu saw his father loving chatting with him, so he quickly asked for advice.
Not to mention, it was precisely because of the words of humbly asking for advice that after listening to Hong Lucheng’s detailed introduction, Hong Yanwu really gained insight. Looking at these cars again, he had a different mood.
.
There are also things to pay attention to if you dare to play "Chengtou Car".
In fact, the "Fengtou cars" produced decades ago were not fully equipped. They were not equipped with lights or bells, and only a few cars were equipped with micro air pipes. Everything had to be reorganized by the car enthusiasts themselves.
Specifically, the front of the "Fengtou car" must be equipped with German "Bosch" headlights.
The car bell must be the tiger head bell from the "Postal" bell.
It is also equipped with a Dutch chrome-plated rear hanger. It would be better if it is a double bracket.
Finally, the "Miller" rear taillights and the "Dunlop" tires commonly known as "old headbands" must be installed. This is considered perfect.
When all these accessories are added together, the price is already comparable to that of a car.
In addition, Hong Yanwu originally thought that the "Fengtou" and "Three Guns" were the best bicycles in Britain. In fact, this was not the case. Among the bicycles he bought, the most precious ones were precisely those two bicycles he did not recognize.
Of those two bicycles, only one is made in Germany and is called the "Diamond Brand". The other one is still made in the UK and is called the "Hamburger Brand". Of all the old bikes, this one has the biggest origins.
Because this bicycle was first produced by the British "Dunlop" company in 1938, and was assembled from parts produced in the Netherlands, Ireland and the United Kingdom. It was discontinued in 1953.
Absolutely rare things are valuable, and the amount of them in the world must be extremely rare.
Moreover, the upper half of its trademark is the emblem of the British royal family, and the lower half is a pattern of five people joining hands, which is the same shape as the wheel of its car, with the English words "Designated Product of George VI" in the middle.
To put it bluntly, this is a car used by the British royal family. Can it be the same as an ordinary car?
Once it has a royal air, it will definitely confirm its top position among British bicycles. This is not a BMW or a Mercedes-Benz, it is a Bentley!
So after hearing this, Hong Yanwu made a decision.
You can't ride this car anymore, just leave it at home. Otherwise, if it's really lost, where can you get it back?
Then he thought about it again, "Dad, you are fine anyway. After the festival, how about you help me find the accessories for these two Fengtiao cars? We will clean them up completely for him."
Hong Lucheng was happy. "You still want to call your biological father. I'm just so idle?"
Hong Yanwu quickly flattered him. "Knowledge is power. Aren't I a stick? If there is an old man in the family, there is a treasure. This is really true. Why don't I give you a crested ride when this is over?"
Hong Lucheng finally nodded and agreed half-jokingly. "Okay, but let's agree first, the cost of accessories must be deducted from your money. Don't try to take advantage of me, let me put in another two hundred...
…”
Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu also had to act cheaply, but his opinion was already serious even though he had a stiff neck.
"Dad, I know you have a good abacus. But it is natural for my son to follow me. If nothing else, I have to kowtow to you during the New Year. There is a saying that goes well. When the New Year comes, children should kneel down to pay New Year greetings.
When you kowtow, you get up and ask for money. If you don't want money, you turn your back and leave. This can't be about you..."
"Hey, who are you trying to bully? Besides, yours is too expensive. Forget it, I'm not looking at you, I'm looking at this car..."
Look, it's quite evil.
This is not only the first time that the father and son, who have frowned at each other for twenty years, have reached a consensus on one thing. They also tease each other like never before...
After talking about the Hong family's own purchases, we have to talk about New Year's gifts.
The overall situation this year is better than last year.
Because not only the situation of the Hong family has improved, but others are also "moving forward".
Needless to say, Shou Jingfang is a man of great ability.
Every year, he only needs to go to the Summer Palace to collect some "motherwort" and go to the Old Summer Palace to pick some "polygonum multiflorum", which is enough for him to eat and drink without any worries.
Now that a lot of property has been refunded and compensated, my hands are even more abundant, and the New Year's ceremony can be carried out with dignity.
Before the festival, he sent Shouzhen to deliver four bottles of "Tiger Bone Wine" and four "Tianfu Hao" pickled elbows. In addition, there were two small jars of "Qiuli Paste", two cans of "Sweet Sauce Black Vegetables" and two cans
“Eight Treasures Vegetable with Sweet Sauce”.
This is a duplicate, belonging to both the Hong family and the Wanyan family. The main reason is that Shou Jingfang was too busy before the festival and was afraid that people from "Longkou Village" would not be able to meet if they didn't make the trip, so to be on the safe side, he asked someone to
Courtesy of the Hong Family.
Among these things, needless to say, the expensive "tiger bone wine" and the famous "Tianfu Hao" sauce pork elbows in the capital, everyone knows what kind of gifts they are.
But don't underestimate the "Autumn Pear Paste" and two jars of pickles. To be honest, they are also rare and good things.
Why do you say that? Because "Qiuli Paste" is the same as the sour plum soup in summer, and it is also made by Shou Jingfang himself.
Fritillaria and Poria are added to it, and it is mixed with honey. It uses a secret recipe from the palace and has a name called "Lingbei Qiuli Paste".
If compared with the traditional "Qiuli Paste" of the well-known "Tong Sanyi", not only the taste is not bad, but nutritionally, it is even more effective in nourishing yin and moisturizing the lungs, nourishing the lungs and relieving coughs, and relieving coughs and reducing phlegm. It is even better when consumed in winter.
Can prevent colds.
As for those two kinds of pickles, they are traditional products of the time-honored "Tianyuan Sauce Garden" whose name was changed to "Tianyuan Sauce Garden" and have just been restored.
"Sweet Sauce Black Vegetable" is made from cantaloupes from southern Beijing and almonds from northern suburbs, with shredded ginger and sweet noodle sauce. The finished product is dark brown and can be fried, souped, or eaten fresh.
"Sweet Sauce Eight Treasures Dish" is also called "Fruit Eight Treasures Dish". There are more than eight kinds of ingredients to choose from, so it is called "Eight Treasures".
The raw materials are blue slices, cucumbers, lotus root slices, ginger, lentils, cowpeas, silver seedlings, peanut kernels, walnut kernels, almonds, etc. The finished product is reddish brown after being stir-fried with sauce.
These two side dishes are high-end pickles. Due to their fine raw materials, they are not products that can be enjoyed by the poor. They have disappeared in the capital for many years, and this year they just started to be sold before the festival.
As soon as it came on the market, it was discovered by Neng Shou Jingfang and sent to the Hong family and Wanyan family for a taste. I must say, it is really a blessing.
The situation over there in "Longkou Village" is also good.
Zhaoqing was assigned by his father-in-law to work as a clerk in the production brigade. He already received public rations every month.
Coupled with Hong Yanwu's cash help and monthly egg subsidy, his life after marriage was not stressful at all, and he did not delay in taking medicine and treatment. Now his physical condition is quite good.
The two brothers from the An family also made a lot of money by mixing and pouring eggs. In two months, they had collected a hundred yuan for the family.
Xiaoqin's second uncle was very happy about this. After killing the New Year pig for this matter, he specially gave the Wanyan family half a set of ribs and a pig's head.
Furthermore, Secretary An went hunting in the mountains a few days ago and killed a roe deer and a lot of rabbits. Besides, this time Zhaoqing came to Beijing to give New Year's gifts to the Hong and Shou families, and what he wanted to take was too much.
More. He must come to the capital with Anjia's "sun" and "moon".
Half a roe deer, a pig head, eight rabbits, two jars of pickled eggs, and four hundred fresh eggs. There are also two jars of Yuntai's home-brewed soju and two kilograms of homemade "gold cakes". There are also two kilograms of "golden cake" made by Secretary An at home.
Tangguaer".
Even if three young men shared these things, they would be very tiring.
As soon as the three of them arrived at Hong's house, they almost ran out to the ground. At noon that day, the three of them ate three kilograms of fried soybean noodles alone, and also ate two large bowls of stewed meat.
But it was hard work, but the things they sent were really popular. Both game and eggs were the most lacking in the city.
Even the last two local products made by Yuntai are not ordinary things. In fact, they have similar advantages to the "Lingbei Qiuli Paste" sent by Shou Jingfang.
Let’s talk about the wine first. Xu Manli came over to ask about it as soon as she entered the house and let it sit for a while. Her family used to be a wine merchant, and she also grew up smelling the smell of wine. It was such a good thing that it definitely couldn’t escape her nose.
Sure enough, the local wine is not an ordinary local wine, but the Wanyan family's own brew. It is called "mandianxiang".
It is brewed with white flour, glutinous rice flour, melon, clove, atractylodes, lotus, wood incense, white sandalwood, amomum villosum, patchouli, licorice, etc.
The finished wine has a mellow taste, and has a more peculiar aroma than ordinary white wine. If you really open it, the whole room will be filled with the aroma of wine, as if perfume has been sprinkled on it.
In addition, the "gold cake" is commonly known as "hawthorn cake". Although it is a relatively common thing in the capital, the color of the stuff bought outside is dark and red, like fruit peel, and the taste is also sour. It is not worthy of its name.
Only Yuntai, who is good at eating, consulted with people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs when he was young, and learned a unique processing method. The resulting "gold cake" is as good as gold in color, sweet and sour, and soft, just right.
Shou Jingfang was a man who knew the goods. He praised it immediately after seeing it, saying that such a "gold cake" could truly be regarded as a worthy royal treasure and the authentic one.
In private, Zhaoqing did not forget to tell Hong Yanwu that the money he spent collecting things for him was less than two hundred. He had already collected dozens of items, large and small.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were mostly teapots and teacups, as well as porcelain basins, porcelain plates, tea cans, bottles, etc., all of which had been handled by his father. Most of them had patterns on the bottom.
The best items are a bronze candlestick from the Warring States Period and a black-glazed Dulu bottle from the Jin Dynasty.
It's just that his father was determined not to have a blind weapon, saying it would be unlucky and detrimental to his moral character.
Regarding the last point, Hong Yanwu understood very well. In fact, such a big gain already made him very happy. He was just afraid that his uncle and cousin would keep saving money for him. So in the end, he persuaded Zhaoqing to give Zhaoqing another thousand yuan.
