1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 507 Chapter 509 Yudi’s elder brother Junzi is far away from the kitchen
time flies.

In early August, the people of Lin'an lit a fire at Wulinmen, igniting the national hatred for inferior products.

The "three major counterfeiting centers" (Jinjiang, Shishi, Wenzhou, and Zhongguancun were added later) that were once notorious all over the country are now overwhelmed by Wenzhou, overshadowing the other two at once.

The low-quality leather shoes in Wen City have already been warmed up in Xichang at the beginning of the year, and now the fire in Lin'an has reached a climax.

This fire also burned to the capital.

"What's going on this year? It's either this fire or that fire? Can we still let people calm down for a while?"

"I think it's the man who sang the song at the Spring Festival Gala who caused the trouble."

Luo Tao, who just came back from the company, heard his wife Su Guilan and the others talking in the yard as soon as he entered the door.

Zhu Lin stood up and asked, "The things in the company are done." He took the briefcase.

"It's done." He replied to her, walked up to the little girl, and picked up her recovered body.

"Girl, do you miss daddy?"

Luo Tao would ask this question every time he came back from a trip.

The little girl also enjoyed her father's love very much. She stroked the stubble on Luo Tao's chin very seriously, but replied a little perfunctorily, "I think so, but I don't think so."

Luo Tao said with a straight face, "Father, I'm not happy anymore."

Ermei had already moved the stool, and Luo Tao sat down with the little girl in his arms.

Zhu Lin took the briefcase into the room and came out with a purple clay pot in his hand.

Walked up to Luo Tao and said, "Here."

Luo Tao took it naturally. When Zhu Lin saw the little girl like this, he said something to her: "See what it looks like. Come down. You just celebrated your third birthday yesterday. You are no longer a child."

In her heart, the little girl doesn't want to grow up, because with her brother's past experience, she already knows that growing up is not necessarily a good thing.

If nothing else, just going to school is not a happy thing.

She curled her lips and hugged her father Luo Tao tightly.

"Okay, what are you talking about her for? I'd like to hug our girl."

The old lady Su Guilan, who has been silent all the time, said: "You can pamper her, the weather is so hot, and you are not afraid of prickly heat."

To say this is to be jealous.

However, you are right. The weather is hot enough now. After the father and daughter played for a while, the little girl found other fun things to do.

Sitting under the grape trellis, he briefly chatted with his wife Su Guilan. Luo Tao was wearing a suit and was really hot and smoking.

Then he went into the house and took off his shiny skin.

Su Guilan, Sister He, and Ermei were still under the grape trellis, chatting about the big and small things published in the newspaper.

Luo Tao is not very interested in these things now.

He now hopes to install an air conditioner in his home.

Zhu Lin had already prepared a box of cold water for Luo Tao while he was changing clothes.

He muttered, "Didn't you say that we would install an air conditioner in our home? The hot weather has passed by just before our eyes, and we haven't even seen the air conditioner in sight."

"It's almost time. If you just have to endure it for a few more days, you'll need five air conditioners right now. It's so easy, but people still have to squeeze in."

Nowadays, the most popular domestic air conditioner brand is Chunlan, which is very popular and famous. For example, Haier and Gerry became famous later. One of them is still producing refrigerators, and the other one has not yet appeared.

Haier and Gerry air conditioners had to wait until the 90s before they came into being.

"If I had known it was so slow, I might as well have bought Xiaozhi products." Zhu Lin, probably confused by the heat, wiped his face and complained.

This person only gets anxious when he thinks like this and likes to improvise.

If I had known earlier, I should have installed the air conditioner at the beginning of summer.

Chunlan Air Conditioning Factory started producing low-power air conditioners for civilian use last year, and developed a new product this year. Luo Tao also bought five units from their factory with the intention of supporting domestic production.

"It's my fault that I found out about it late. If we had known about it earlier, we should have used it now."

She unwrapped the towel and handed it to Luo Tao, "Don't tell me, I really blame you for this..."

Faced with this sudden criticism, Luo Tao couldn't help but wipe his face silently.

You are the housekeeper of the family now, shouldn't you be in charge of this matter?Luo Tao could only curse in his heart.

"By the way, now that the whole country is discussing the matter of leather in Wenzhou, why does the company still want to build a leather factory? Since the new year, the leather industry has not been so good."

Zhu Lin has also been close to Zhu Zhechi these years, and he also cares more or less about the company's industry. He also likes to read economic newspapers and CCTV's "Economic Life", and now he is watching the new "Comprehensive Economic Information" released this year.

What remains fresh in my memory is the plundering of watermelons at the Shakou warehouse that was just reported.

Luo Tao replied to her while rubbing the towel, "It's okay. As long as our quality is good, we have nothing to worry about. Our tannery is not in Wenzhou, but is located in Xinji, Hebei Province."

Xinji is known as the leather capital of the north.

At the beginning of the reform and opening up, it flourished in the early 90s. At this time, under the model of unified planning, unified construction, and unified management, industrial households invested and built a large-scale leather industrial zone.

Xichang Tannery chose this place because it took a fancy to the large-scale leather industry chain here.

Also, it is close to the capital, making it easy to command.

"Why haven't I heard of this Xinji, don't all the leather come from the south?"

Facing this inquiring wife, Luo Tao told her everything he knew about Xinji Leather.

After he was satisfied, Zhu Lin saw Luo Tao finish washing, so he took the basin out and poured the washing water on several trees in the yard.

The couple has been living together for a long time, and they have become more and more understanding. With just one look, the other party knows what to do next?
As soon as she came back with the basin, Luo Tao who was already sitting in the study asked, "By the way, why didn't you see our dad and little October?"

She was busy, "Oh, the two of them went to the Temple of Heaven. They said there was a flea market there, and they went shopping for treasures."

Zhu Lin's tone became more teasing.

It's really because his father Luo Shaoyi really doesn't have much talent in appreciating treasures. In recent years, he has visited morning markets and second-hand goods markets.

Sometimes, for the sake of face, he often goes to a national-brand store to buy.

Luo Tao always sees things through but doesn't tell them clearly, to save face for his old man.

But he is really addicted. After little October grows up, he not only goes there by himself, but sometimes brings little October with him.

He is somewhat imitating the grandparents Luo Jing and Luo Tao when he brings up little October.

It's a pity that Little October, like him, doesn't like antique calligraphy and painting very much, and prefers playing with grasshoppers and raising pigeons.

This generational inheritance is really vividly reflected in the Luo family.

Luo Tao knew that they would not be able to find any truly valuable treasures, but they would definitely be able to find treasures they liked.

Over the years, the family has collected more than 100 pairs of light and insect furniture. According to Mr. Wang, the oldest pair has a history of at least 300 years, and the youngest pair is also decades old.

The two of them are just playing, one takes the money earned by the son, and the other takes the money earned by the father, and they don't feel bad at all.

When it comes to collecting antiques, Luo Tao has not been idle in the past few years. He has collected nearly [-] pieces from all over the country, and nearly [-] counterfeit pieces.

To briefly mention, there are more than [-] calligraphy and painting collections, more than [-] ancient calligraphy and painting collections, and the rest are works by famous modern and contemporary artists, with only a thousand or so of great cultural relic value.

In the past two years, they have been looking for a geomantic treasure in Sijiu City, but unfortunately they haven't found it yet.There are more than a thousand furniture, more than two thousand porcelains, more than a thousand volumes of ancient books, and other miscellaneous items.

The collection of nearly [-] pieces occupied several large courtyards, and more than a dozen people watched it.

The most valuable collections are now hidden in the Luo Family Courtyard, and what is exposed is not the best.

There are too many things, so Luo Tao doesn't have much interest in ordinary things.

Don’t buy contemporary, only look at modern and contemporary. Choose from the Qing Dynasty, distinguish between the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, and win everything from Yuan Dynasty to Yuan Dynasty.

Sometimes having too much stuff is a worry.

Now that there are two people, Lao Ma and Hao Jinming, as long as good things appear in the secrets of the capital, they usually cannot escape from Luo Tao's hands.

As for the obvious, let's not talk about it. He led people to raid the places selling second-hand goods in the capital countless times.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was a pretty good person, everyone would have given him the nickname, Sanguang Yudi.

Ever since "Journey to the West" was aired, there has always been a person who has a bad mouth. As soon as Lao Ma meets Luo Tao, he has to say, "Brother Yudi."

Luo Tao felt the urge to slap him.

"Hey, why didn't you call me? I'll go take a look tomorrow."

Zhu Lin packed up and came in, "Hey! If I had known, I wouldn't have told you. The two of them went to play, and you were still messing around."

Luo Tao looked shy and laughed, "That's what I'm saying. There are so many treasures in the house and I haven't sorted them out yet. I'll go there when I have time."

When the little girl was at home with her when she had chickenpox, Luo Tao began to sort out his collection of antiques in detail.

I also thought about asking the old gentleman for help, but when I thought about their age, I really couldn't bear it.

In the end, Luo Tao was prepared to shoulder the responsibility himself and recruit a few more coolies, such as Shen Zhi and Lao Zhangtou...

Now Luo Tao has counted the treasures collected at home.

The rest is still being sorted out, and we will try to figure it all out within the next two years.

"Who told you to buy so much when you have nothing to do? I haven't seen anyone. Buying antiques is like eating. You don't stop for a moment."

Even though Zhu Lin said this, she never stopped him at critical moments. She personally also likes old objects.

"It used to be a hobby, but now it's a responsibility. This thing is as addictive as smoking cigarettes." Luo Tao said to her seriously with a playful smile.

"Say it like you're great."

"Of course, it doesn't matter what your husband does. ...Now it looks like a shaobao, but 30 years later, someone will definitely praise my bad feet." Luo Tao was very arrogant.

Zhu Lin glanced at Luo Tao, then walked to the bookshelf and picked out the book she wanted to read.

Luo Tao was also aware of the situation and looked very helpless. He turned around and continued to look at the plan for building the Xichang Leather Factory.

Zhu Lin quickly took a book. She ignored Luo Tao and went straight to the Arhat bed.

In the study room, I listened to the turning of the pages for a while, and chatted with the three people outside the window who were all talking about the news.

From time to time, there will be a few words from the little girl scolding the dog.

"Pomegranate, if you keep doing this, I won't take you to play anymore."

"If you bother me again, I'll ask dad to send you to Ma Gan's family. His dad loves dog meat the most."

What two simple sentences.

Zhu Lin had a smile on his face, closed the book, and got out of bed, "This girl is just scaring Pomegranate."

Luo Tao didn't even look back, and predicted in a joking tone: "Whenever Shiliu doesn't play with her, let's see! She will cry."

"Hey! With you as a father, look at the way you are gloating about your misfortune.

If she cries, I don’t know who feels the most distressed. Zhu Lin patted Luo Tao on the shoulder and took a look at the Xichang Leather Factory construction plan.

Luo Tao was swallowed by Zhu Lin, turned his face away with a wry smile, and looked at her: "Are you praising me? Or are you hurting me?"

"Don't say good things twice." He asked again: "What do you want to eat for lunch?"

When I asked this question, I was speechless again, "Hey, does what I said work?"

Nowadays, two little guys are usually in charge of what to eat at home, followed by Luo Shaoyi and Su Guilan, then Zhu Lin, and Luo Tao basically has no status in the family now.

If he couldn't make money, he wouldn't have a say in the family.

Zhu Lin couldn't hide his joy and thought for a moment, "Looking at this, our dad and little October may not come back to eat today.

……

What did you want to eat?I'll do it for you. "

I have to say that it is better to be a wife. Luo Tao took Zhu Lin's hand, and the two looked at each other affectionately.

At this time, a phone call suddenly came.

Sister He in the hospital was busy going to the north room to answer the phone.

After a while, he came out and said to Su Guilan: "Teacher Su, Teacher Luo called and said that he and Shi Shi will not be back for dinner today."

This was a common occurrence. Su Guilan asked according to the procedure: "Did you say where it is?"

"They said they were catching up with two friends from Jinyuchi. By the way, they also said Mr. Luo knew about it." She looked towards the east wing.

Luo Tao didn't wait for his wife Su Guilan to ask and said out the window: "I know him. It's okay. I bought the goldfish at home from them."

"Are these two broken tanks you bought from them for ten yuan a few years ago?"

How many years have passed since this happened, but my mother, Su Guilan, still remembers it so clearly.

Luo Tao and Zhu Lin came out and replied, "Yes."

When I think of the past, all the money spent in vain, I still feel aggrieved: "Still? In the past few years, I can't figure out whether these two broken vats are worth ten yuan?"

The generation gap between mother and son in terms of consumption concepts is not ordinary, and Luo Tao couldn't explain it clearly to her.

"Mom, please don't worry about this. What's more important now is that your son and I have started to make a fuss in the Temple of the Five Internal Organs."

Luo Tao took her hand and went to the kitchen.

"Cough...cough, I can walk by myself, don't hold me back, you are such an adult, why are you still acting like a child?"

"In front of you, no matter how old I am, I am just a child."

Entering the modern kitchen, Luo Tao took out a cucumber so tender that it could squeeze out water from the plastic vegetable basket.

He stroked the cucumber with his hand and ate it.

"Mom, let's eat cold noodles for lunch today!"

Su Guilan was very impatient, "I know."

Then pushed him out.

She still retained a bit of the old concept of "a gentleman stays away from the cook" in her mind.
