Chapter 238 General Line and General Task
As I walked, I said to Uncle Ming, "I didn't expect your old man to play tricks on us from the beginning, and there were few decent things at home." Even if it's bad luck this time, we only accept these things that can't be on the table and give you a big discount. Now that we're even, it's really time to go our separate ways after dinner. There is certainly no problem in handing over the affairs of A Xiang to Yang Ping. As the saying goes, women's universities don't stay, and I don't think she's going to go home with you anymore, so you don't have to worry about her anymore. "
Uncle Ming said, "Brother Hu, it's very kind of you. Although we haven't settled the marriage, is it a general friendship with * * * so many days of life and death? I don't want to be a Lama in Tibet now, but I will naturally move around more in the future. This meal is my treat, and we can talk about business over dinner later ... "
I was in a bad mood, and Hong Kong was determined to eat me. At this time, I have arrived at the restaurant in the fat man's office at the intersection. As soon as I saw the restaurant that used to sell noodles on the slag river, I quickly changed Uncle Ming's words and said to everyone, "Uncle Ming kindly invited his brothers to have dinner, but it's too late. Why don't you kill him mercilessly and make do with eating on the slag river later?" Uncle Ming, have you been in Beijing for a long time? Are you used to eating in Beijing? "
When it comes to eating fat people, I get excited. Before uncle Ming said anything, they rushed to say, "There are 99 snacks and 330 big dishes in Beijing, and we can't eat enough. Be modest. I've basically tasted it. However, I still have a soft spot for mutton, such as instant-boiled mutton in Donglaishun, roast mutton in barbecue season, roast mutton in Bai Kui and sauce mutton in Yueshengzhai. The rinse, roast, roast and sauce of four people really make the mutton taste great. Since Uncle Ming is going to treat us, why don't we go to the barbecue season? It's boring to eat slag river noodles. "
Uncle Ming may be really poor now. As soon as he heard that the fat man was going to the barbecue season, he quickly said, "We are often tired of eating pork. Fried dumplings, noodles with dregs and water chestnut slices are the three major flavors of Beijing. I was famous in Nanyang for a long time, but I never had a chance to taste them. Let's eat together now. "
While speaking, four people stepped into the restaurant. The shop is small and belongs to the most common slag noodle restaurant that can be seen everywhere in Beijing. The environment inside is not clean. There were some sporadic diners at this time, so we picked up a clean table and sat down around. We ordered a few bottles of beer and Erguotou first, and soon the waiter brought us a large bowl of noodles. The fat man was dissatisfied and complained that Uncle Ming was reluctant to spend money.
Today, Dajinya was in high spirits, eating the dregs of the river and telling everyone: "In fact, fried pimples and water chestnut slices are eaten by the poor in old Beijing, but the dregs of the river are poor and rich. If you pay attention to eating dregs, it is also very fine to follow the top method. Exquisite or not depends mainly on the size of the face. This size should be complete and fresh. Chop green beans, Toona sinensis buds and leeks; Celery powder, lettuce slices and dog tooth garlic should be broken into two petals; Pick the bean sprouts, remove the roots, and cut the cucumber with thorns on the top of the flower into filaments; Heart is beautiful, cut into several batches, Jiang Dou diced, green tassel radish; Sprinkle pepper, sesame oil and mustard on your nose. Although there are only small bowls of Zhajiang noodles, seven dishes and eight bowls are all noodles. "
Hearing this, Uncle Ming praised him again and again, and gave a thumbs-up to Dajinya: "It turns out that Jinya not only has a good eye, but also knows how to eat. Everything he says casually is very organized and really versatile. After what you said, the emperor has eaten to this extent. It's really good to stick to the river. " Uncle Ming stopped and said to me, "I have a very good idea." With my business acumen, smart knowledge of gold teeth, courage of fat people, and your secret skill of dividing gold and fixing points, almost everyone has a unique talent. If we can seek common development, it can be said that it is a golden combination. As long as we are willing to do it, we have a good chance, that is, Jinshan Yinshan. I am afraid it is not difficult to earn. " Life is full of plants and trees. Who doesn't want to be rich or expensive in this life? What time? "
After listening to uncle Ming's inflammatory words, big gold teeth could not help but be moved. He also asked me, "Grandpa Hu, that's what my brother meant. Now Panjiayuan's business is really failing. There are more and more fakes, but fewer and fewer genuine goods. Pointing at this upside down to earn a living, you will starve to death sooner or later. Although I have an eye, how many objects can I collect by pointing to the shovel? It is said that there are many ancient tombs in the mountains beyond the two lakes. Let's take the opportunity to get a few votes so that we don't have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of our lives. "
I made up my mind, but I still want to listen to the fat man's thoughts, so I asked the fat man, "You also come with Uncle Ming and Big Gold Teeth. It's all from the heart What do you mean, Xiao Pang? "
Fat man raised his beer bottle and drank two. He said casually: "Supposedly, I bow my head and be a willing ox, that is, I was born to serve the people. I am a grandson everywhere, and I have been someone else's gun all my life. But let's get down to business. This time, I want to say a few words. When I said Laojin and Uncle Ming, I didn't mean to criticize you two. You two are really grandchildren. You are not stupid, the problem is that you should not treat others as fools. If we go to the inverted bucket together, just the two of you. An old habit of asthma, a thing that is full of brains when you are old. Then his mother dug a hole, dug the soil, climbed in and out of the hard work ... and this hard work is not all mine and Khufu's? I'm telling you, I'm willing to fight backwards. You two just go down hand in hand. No one will stop you, but we are tired of going backwards. I'm going to America to make a fortune, fatty. "
Fat man's words are straightforward, and he immediately choked Shu Ming and big gold teeth. Big spoon tooth stare blankly for a long time before asking me, "grandpa Hu, is this ... is this true?" Have you really decided to go to America with Miss Yang? That, that, that, that, that, that, that, although the United States has developed material civilization, it doesn't have everything, so let's not talk about it elsewhere. Let's talk about our Beijing: the moon in the Temple of Heaven, the cool breeze in the Great Wall, the lions in Lugou Bridge, the pine trees in Tanzhe Temple, the Summer Palace in front of the Drum Tower in Xidan, Dongdan, the Summer Palace in the Eight Temples of Wuyan Yinyue, the Dashilan in front of Wangfujing and the glass factory in Panjiayuan. But he has these places in the United States and will never have them. Besides, how can you give up our relatives and old friends? "
Listening to the big gold teeth, I am more and more excited. The true feelings moved me. Although Dajinya is a profiteer, he is different from Uncle Ming. He had the same experience as me and the fat man. The educated youth who jumped the queue at that time, whether they knew it or not, as long as they mentioned that they were educated youth, their relationship was deformed to a higher level, and they had a sense of intimacy that they wanted to be connected with each other. Just now, the fat man compared the big gold teeth with uncle Ming, which really went too far. Although big gold teeth point to our wealth, he really can't bear to part with us. So I said to Dajinya, "Laojin, as the saying goes, it is hard to leave my hometown, and I am reluctant to leave China, a land soaked with the blood and tears of my comrades, and even more reluctant to leave my relatives and partners. But when I was in Tibet, I found that the fat man and I could do nothing but fight, and our way of thinking could not keep up with the progress of society. This is a kind of sadness. Besides, I went to so many places and saw many secret objects in ancient tombs. I have an experience that some things are best left in the soil forever. "
Since ancient times, most captains who touch gold have chosen to escape into an empty door and spend the rest of their lives with the ancient Buddha. Because there are many things to experience, it is inevitable that there will be a feeling in the end: it is not worth trading your life for money. The funerary wares in the tomb are all dead things, which become valuable because of the possessiveness of the world. It is not cost-effective to put your life on these objects deep in the soil. Although stone and jade are good, they are not as precious as their own lives.
In addition, the most important thing is that valuable things are the root of all evil. Almost all the funerary wares in the ancient tomb are valuable. If you can successfully dig the ancient tomb, you can make a windfall. However, no matter what your motives are, you can squander your money and help the weak. Those funerary wares will eventually flow into the society, which will lead to numerous infighting, blood shed. All the evils caused by these funerary wares, regardless of their origin, are likely to be attributed to the gold-touching captain who excavated them.
I said to Dajinya, "It is said that people live a long life, but look at the bleak life of our people. It was really bumpy all the way. We have suffered what we should, and we have suffered a lot. But today we just become self-employed. They have no future and are almost on the verge of being eliminated by society. I don't think we can pin our future destiny and hope on inverted bucket. In that case, the road will only get narrower and narrower in the future. We will never bow to fate, so Fatty and I will go to the United States, start over in a new environment, learn new things, implement the general line and tasks in all our work, and create a different life from now. "
Fat man wondered, "general line, what is the general task? I don't remember that we have never made such a plan. Don't remember that one is the other. "
I said, "I only remembered it when I saw the teacups at the Lushan meeting. Our general line in the future is to make money, and our general task is to make money. I heard that there is a place called Little Taipei in the American Chinese community. When we earn more money in the future, we will also build a small Beijing in the US imperialists to corrupt those Americans. "
Big gold teeth said to me with tears: "Mr. Hu is still a person who does great things." I never dared to think of such a grand goal. It is better to build a small Beijing with my brothers. " In the future, let's make those Americans change their minds and eat stick noodles and paste cakes all day, as well as stinky tofu and Chili oil in Wang Zhihe ... "
The fat man said, "The hard man smoked two cigarettes, caught them and killed the whole family, and sang all night. There were three wonders in Beijing in its early years, Beijing Opera, candied haws and quadrangles. When I make a fortune, I'll fucking fill the Empire State Building with candied haws. " After that, the three of them laughed together, as if they were standing on the top of the Empire State Building at the moment and had a panoramic view of Manhattan blocks.
I relaxed the atmosphere after joking for a while. I asked Dajinya if what she just said was a joke and if she really wanted to go to America with us. Big gold tooth's father is in poor health. My family is in the nursing home, and there is no one else in the fat man's family. Therefore, Dajinya can't just leave home like us. This trip is to the United States on the other side of the ocean.
Big gold teeth said solemnly, "I advised you not to go to America just now, but you can't bear to part with me!" " What's the point of leaving me alone in Panjiayuan? To tell you the truth, I have seen through it. Panjiayuan's business has been going on for another ten years, and it's still what I mean. I have long been worried about going overseas for gold. Our ancestors left countless unique antiques abroad. If I can make a fortune in America, the first thing is to collect some real things, which is my brother's lifelong wish. Secondly, our old people also took over and let them enjoy the happiness abroad for a few days, but I don't have overseas relations. It's hard to go out. Can you put in a good word for Miss Yang and make room for me? It is said that the United States of America is not only highly developed in material civilization, but also tolerant in culture, and even chickens and dogs can use it there. What do you think of me? "
I thought it would be lively if there were more people, so as to save me from being monotonous when I got there with the fat man. After all, Yang Ping is not a trafficker, so I have to temporarily promise Dajinya to go back and speak for him.
So I started to sum up with fatty, big gold teeth and three people, how to find the next home as soon as possible, how much money the three people can always earn, and where to go to see striptease performances after arriving in the United States ... We chatted and left Uncle Ming, who invited him to eat on the river, in the cold wind, almost like being hungry. But Uncle Ming Can couldn't forget himself: "Are you kidding? Do you think the world in America is so easy to fish? " ? But then again, there are quite a few treasures living in America. It is said that one of the most valuable porcelain bottles in the world, Yuan Qinghua Chunhua Tianyuan Bottle, is in the hands of a collector in Los Angeles, as well as Qianlong Yushan, which is also in the United States. They are all priceless. Let me go with you. We'll try to get this bottle of wine back. When we have enough money in the future, we can continue to do the business of Discovered Body, which is the fastest way to make money. "
I said to Uncle Ming, "If you want to go to America, that's your own business. We have no right to stop you from going. However, in our state affairs, we all came back from the death gate of Kunlun Mountain twice. I have to advise you that at your age, you can do some antique business on a small scale to support yourself after you come to the United States, and don't just want to make a comeback and fiddle with zongzi. Didn't Kunlun Mountain learn its lesson this time? Even if the glacier crystal body is brought back, you will earn money, but your wife is gone, and your goddaughter is no longer with you, leaving only two sons who have lost their families. You can't count whether this business is a loss or a profit, can you? No matter how valuable the body of the dead is, it is not as valuable as the living. "
With these words, even if I show utmost forbearance to Uncle Ming, I will say goodbye to Uncle Ming and go home with the fat man's big gold teeth.
Chapter 239 Abstraction (physical book finale)
Although I have decided to go to America, I can't just leave. There are many things to deal with before going abroad. Dajinya's home is in Beijing. During this time, he and the fat man sold antiques, and I went back to Fujian to visit relatives. Then I went to see the families of some comrades who died. In the meantime, I went to Inner Mongolia with the fat man who once jumped the queue. I used it for nearly two months before and after, and everything was busy.
It was already the middle of winter when we returned to Beijing, and we were only a few days away from going abroad. Now everything is ready, and I am busy drinking goodbye to my acquaintances every day recently.
Yang Ping wanted to go out with me to see Beijing in winter, so I took her to Beihai Park.
Because of the northwest wind all night, the ground is particularly clean. 1983 this winter seems to be particularly cold, and the air seems to be frozen. As soon as I breathe in, I feel that I have sucked the ice residue into my stomach, which makes my lungs sore. During the day, the wind is much less, but the sky is gray and I can't see where the sun is. Maybe there will be a heavy snow before dark.
Beihai Park is located in the northwest corner of the Forbidden City and has a history of more than 1000 years. It was once the imperial forbidden garden of Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
Walking by the lake, looking at the White Pagoda of Qiongdao in the North Sea is a bit bleak. I don't think there is really anything worth playing here in winter, but I will travel abroad soon, and I don't know when I can come to Beijing again. I can't help feeling a little attached to the white pagoda and red wall here. Although it was cold, I didn't care too much.
Yang Ping's interest is very high. She has settled in A Xiang in advance. Professor Chen, who treated mental illness in the United States, also recovered well. At this time, I saw many skaters on the frozen lake. Some of them are old hands playing in the skating rink every winter. They wear flower knives and show off all kinds of tricks from time to time, sometimes like dragonflies and sometimes like purple swallows, so they stop and watch with me. Yang Ping said to me, "It's really lively here. Skating in classical forests in winter is probably only available in Beijing. "
I casually replied: "Of course, even if all the lakes are blue and the waters are everywhere, it is not as beautiful as skating on Beihai Lake."
Yang Ping asked me, "After listening to your reluctance, do you regret going to America with me?" ? I know this is awkward for you, but I'm really worried that you will call again. I don't feel at ease not watching you every day in America. "
I said, "there is no turning back arrow before opening the bow." I have decided to go to America. Of course, I won't regret it. Although I am reluctant to leave China, I can bring you back to play after I have thoroughly implemented the general line and general tasks. " Talking, he took out a touch machine symbol from the clothes loan and showed it to Yang Ping: "Look at this, the fat man and I have already picked up this symbol, so we washed our hands. I will never do inverted bucket activities in my life unless I am tired of living. Let's do some steady business in the future. "
The captain who touches gold must wear a gold symbol, which is equivalent to a work permit and also represents luck in a sense. Once you hang it around your neck, you must never take it off, because once you take it off, it implies the interruption of luck. If you wear it again, you will not be blessed by your ancestors. Only when you decide to end your career, will you choose to resign, which is equivalent to washing your hands on the greenwood road. Few people will return to their original jobs after taking the job. In those days, Elder Dust was an exception. In order to help Yang Ping's grandfather partridge whistle, Elder Chen took off his charm and went out of the mountain again, and died in the Xixia Baodong in Heishui City.
Yang Ping was very moved when he saw that I had picked the gold symbol. He said to me, "How many ancient tombs have been dug since ancient times, most of which have their own peculiarities, and there are too many dangers hidden inside, so I have been worried that you will go to war. It's great that you are finally willing to take off the gold amulet. When I get to America, I won't have to worry about you sneaking back to fight. "
I said to Yang Ping, "I won't come back until I carry out the general line to the end. I heard that everything in the United States is fine, but the eating habits and lifestyle are not easy to accept. I heard that the American diet is monotonous and the rice is rough. Two pieces of bread are as hard as stone, with two tomatoes and a piece of half-baked fried beef between them, or you can chop up the rotten leaves and eat them directly. Is this a meal? I ate better at the front line in Yunnan. We don't eat this food every day, do we? I think Americans really don't know how to eat. No wonder the United States is so rich that it was saved from its mouth. "
Yang Ping said, "How can you eat hamburgers every day? There are many restaurants in China. We can go every day if you like. What does lifestyle mean? "
I said, "You don't even know this? I love you' may not be said several times in China's life, but it is said that when the couple live in the United States, saying it once a day means that they are estranged in Germany and will soon divorce. It's enough to say it once in the morning, noon and evening. It's best to get up and go to bed and say it again. Even if you say it ten times a day, no one can have too many. Sometimes you make a long-distance call just to say this. I think this legend is probably true, because I also heard that American soldiers were seriously injured on the battlefield. On my deathbed, I should tell my comrades-in-arms to tell his wife this sentence ... "I pretended to be out of breath and then said," Captain ... promised to tell my wife ... that I ... loved her. "After that, I laughed myself and my stomach hurt.
Yang Ping was also amused by me, but said, "Khufu, you really can't be serious. What can you laugh at? This sentence can be used not only between lovers or lovers, but also for parents of children. It is normal and necessary to love someone and let them know how important they are to them. You have to say it ten times a day. "
