1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 28
From that day on, Maza didn’t do anything anymore. When he had nothing to do, he would ride his bike and visit nearby junkyards.

I didn’t buy any furniture, there was too much and I didn’t have room to put it. I bought a few pieces of porcelain, pen washes and a few paintings by modern people.

My favorite is a Yongzheng blue-and-white Shouzi bowl, which is pure white and elegant, quiet and natural.

There are nine lines in this bowl, and each line is composed of five longevity characters, which shows his lofty status. The honor of the ninety-five years, the longevity is as good as the sky, and the meaning is good!
Luo Tao dared to conclude that this must have been used by Yongzheng to eat. It should not be commonly used and there was no damage at all. It seemed that there were more bowls than women in the harem.

I bought this at the morning market. This morning market was a bit too early. Before dawn, a group of people gathered together to sell some things that could not be seen in the light. As soon as the sun started to rise, all the white people disappeared.

Luo Tao originally planned to come here to exchange for tickets for the grain, oil, cloth and sugar industry, but unexpectedly he saw an old man bringing a bowl and some vegetables for sale.

After this morning market, there is another open morning market. Not to mention it is a black market, I am too young to understand.

Luo Tao took a look at it through the lantern and liked it very much. He looked at it repeatedly and thought it was an old thing, thinking that there are fewer fakes these days.

So I bought it with five kilograms of coarse grains and five yuan, and then exchanged hammers here and there for various tickets, all with money and coarse grains.

Let me introduce serious morning markets, early morning markets, night markets and other markets that emerged in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, developed during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and sprung up in droves after the Song Dynasty.

The appellations of various places are complicated, and can be roughly divided into several categories: shop, step, market, and market.The north is often called "ji", while the south is often called "xu".

Things during the Qianlong period can be said to be colorful and elegant, with a large number of Western elements emerging, such as enamel.

If you don't like it, you don't like it. There is no need for people to live with money.

I also received a Qianlong official kiln glazed amphorae with a slight chip on the bottom.

There are dozens of gray and white paintings on the neck of this bottle in the shape of falling raindrops. It looks very vulgar, but you have to admire the craftsman's skill.

The above is what I have harvested this time. There are many good things, but it is a pity that there is no good place to store them.

I started to pay attention to it when I was collecting old furniture a while ago. It would be best if it was deep in the flowers. Even better, it would be next door. I have been staring at it for more than a day or two, and I asked you if you are afraid.

If you can go further away, it's better to be in Xicheng, where you can let Lao Zhangtou visit his home.

If you buy it and let him go, I think he will definitely go there in a hurry. The place where he lives now really can't use his skills.

They also asked them to inquire more if they had nothing to do. Asking, it doesn't need to be too big, and the money is not that much. If you can buy a big house with three entrances for 1000 yuan, it is not impossible.

We agreed in advance that our heads are strong and we are not afraid of having our heads smashed by the pie.

Don’t think about good things, just do the right thing.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching. The last time Zhu Lin came to play at home, Luo Tao discussed with his parents whether they could celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together.

What a coincidence. On one side, the boy is an only child, and on the other side, the girl is an only daughter. The parents are about the same age. Culture aside, when talking about family relationships, be sure not to bring in some messy things, otherwise it will change the flavor.

I also discussed this matter with Zhu Lin, and she also thought it was feasible.

As several generations of old Beijing residents, the Luo family naturally became the hosts. They came to entertain the three members of the Zhu family, who had become new residents of the capital before and after liberation. They sent invitations on August [-] to meet at Tongchun Garden in Xidan on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

I was busy sending invitations a few days ago and I forgot something. What should I say?It's just five pounds of wine made by myself, and two leisure chairs that I polished by myself.

…………

I borrowed that car again, and the owner was a kind person who didn’t even have a name!

This time, there must be a surname, a surname Zhang, and a Zaozhang. I hope that the adults in their family will be diligent and do good deeds and get rich early, and the children will write brilliant works.

Just for this reason, he had to lend it to Luo Tao for free.

There is no holiday during the National Day, but do you want to have a holiday during the Mid-Autumn Festival?Think, want to go!
After putting the things away, I made a square wooden box out of scrap wood for the five-pound wine jar, which was just right for the wine jar, so I wouldn't be afraid of an accident on the road.

We arrived at No. 38 Jinyu Hutong as soon as we mentioned it. We carried the wine in first and then we entered this small courtyard with a lot of twists and turns.

"Dad, are mom at home?" Luo Taotian shouted shamelessly, there is no way, during the time without you, the relationship between Luo Tao and Zhu's father and mother has improved rapidly.I just kept saying it for a second time, and I didn’t change it even if I wanted to, so let’s just call it that way!Nothing to lose.

Father Zhu and mother Zhu are also happy to do this.

They have just one daughter, and after getting married, they will still rely on this son-in-law to handle everything in the future, and they have no objection. There is no need to be too rigid and conservative about calling early and late.

Luo Tao gave them a very good impression. Although his academic qualifications were a bit low, he still had some culture.

He is a native of the capital city, he has a mansion, a donkey, and a job in the public sector, but it is a bit hot. He is also a writer, and he and his wife also like that book very much.

Looks, Hi!

Why do you say this!
Haha!

not bad!
"Xiao Tao, why are you here again today? You ran here after work. Are you tired? Come in quickly." Zhu's mother smiled and scolded him for not knowing how to rest more.

Then he continued: "The jar in the wooden box you are holding. What is in the jar?" It's a bit convoluted.

"This is the wine my mother made in August. I got five kilograms for you to try. I kept forgetting it a while ago. I didn't want to remember it, so I came to you!"

"Don't carry it alone. Come on, let me help you carry it. Old man, come out and help."

"What's wrong?" Zhu's father came out holding a book. It was better not to let him help. It was okay to blaspheme the saints.

He still put down the scriptures of sages and chose fine wine.

"Xiao Tao, is this your home brew?" he asked Luo Tao doubtfully.

"Yes, we start brewing in August and can drink it in just over a month. It's easy and fast."

"I smelled a very faint fragrance." He also smelled the mouth of the altar with his nose.

"Smell slowly, there are two chairs outside that I haven't taken yet." He said and went out.

"Wait for me, I'll get you something." Seeing Luo Tao go out, he shouted from behind and hurried out.

As soon as he walked out the door, he met Zhu Lin face to face.

"Why are you here again? You've been very diligent recently. What's your ulterior motive?" Zhu Lin patted Luo Tao and teased him.

I turned around carelessly, saw my father, and became a lady and normal again.

Luo Tao took one, and their father and daughter took one together.

Back in the courtyard, Father Zhu really likes the chair, and he likes his son-in-law even more. He understands my heart so well. These are big, close-fitting cotton trousers.

So he put it under the grape trellis and tried it for himself. He lay down on it, closed his eyes, and swayed back and forth comfortably.

After enjoying it for a while, he patted the armrest and said, "This is still better. It is many times better than the previous chair. Zhu Lin, you should learn from Xiao Tao and be more filial to the elderly." He turned to Zhu Lin and complained again.

Is this old man really confused?Don't you see that he is just flattering you?
Besides, no matter how good he is, it’s not because of my discerning eye, otherwise he would have been labeled a gangster. It’s because of my magnanimity and kindness.

Dinner was at Zhu’s house, a few simple home-cooked dishes and a bowl of wine, hey!This little day is better than Tang Seng!
The only bad thing is that the fairy fruit has not been eaten yet.

Humming a little tune, I went home leisurely.

　Thank you for your recommendation votes. Friends who have not invested, hurry up.
