1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 79 Going to the Countryside
Luo Tao and Hou Ming have been liberated since Wuhua came here. Hou Ming comes here every day and is indeed Luo Tao's die-hard fan.

There is nothing going on today and the sun has not gone out. It is a good time to go to the countryside.

Soon after Zhu Lin gives birth, time will run out, the weather will get hotter and hotter, and going to the countryside will be a pain.

"Hou Ming, are the baskets tied up?"

Luo Tao went into the house and changed into a down-to-earth outfit. He wore a short shirt on his upper body and a good-fitting lower body. He wore a pair of inner-leaf shoes. His hair was combed into a three-quarter haircut. If he didn't want to talk, he would go there and become a proper department-level cadre.

"Brother, you are getting more and more handsome. You can't take a closer look."

Luo Tao was a little surprised, why couldn't he take a closer look? What do you mean?

"Why can't you take a closer look?"

"So handsome, I'll be blinded"

This Hou Ming flattered him too much. Instead of following Liu Hai's good example, he actually learned some superficial things. Why did he feel so much better after listening to his words? It's really weird.

"You will pick it up and say it." Luo Tao was very relieved to have a few friends who were so good at talking, unlike Lao Zhangtou who was just talking to the sky and the ground.

"Brother, I found that you and Sister Lin are getting more and more like a husband and wife."

What do you mean?This is the end of the story.

"Didn't we have it before?"

"Uh, that, it seems to have been there before! I don't remember very well either." Hou Ming found out how he had spoken out what was in his heart, which was too impolite to Luo Tao.

Luo Tao himself has a similar feeling. Since his marriage, his appearance has risen in a straight line, and Zhu Lin is not so amazing now.

No wonder there are scenes like this in movies and novels, where female ghosts like to do whatever they want with men, and then suck their yang energy to nourish themselves.

In the novel, evil heretics like to find beautiful women to use as cauldrons to enhance their magic power and improve their appearance.

It seems that they are not acting randomly, they all have personal experience.

"Okay, let's go as soon as we're done. Today I'll help you gain some knowledge."

Luo Tao didn't want to dwell on this sad topic with him, he just wanted to do business.

"I'm just waiting for you. How about you come out and take a look?" Hou Ming pointed to the outside of the hospital and asked Luo Tao to check it out.

Luo Tao walked out of the door with small steps, and saw two armed bicycles parked on the right side of the door, and a basket was added on the left and right of the back seat, which looked like a harness for a person's back.

This basket is an empty shelf made of wood, with a sack in the middle to prevent small items from leaking out. Two wooden bars are used to connect the two baskets, and then they are tied to the back seat with wires.

"Yes, let's go now, that place is quite far away"

Luo Tao turned around and told Su Guilan and Zhu Lin that they might not be back at noon, and then went to the east courtyard to say hello to Lao Zhangtou and Master Wang, asking them to handle it themselves if anything happened.

After the matter was settled, Luo Tao took Hou Ming to the countryside to inspect the work.

After passing the East Lane of Huguo Temple, we passed through Mianmian Hutong and turned to Deshengmen to the north, walking quickly all the way.

"Brother, how long will it take!" Hou Ming saw that he was still short after riding for so long, so he wanted to ask Luo Tao.

"Hurry, it's not far after passing Qinghe Commune."

Isn't it still a long way to go? We haven't left the Sixth Ring Road yet. The housing prices in this place will deter many outsiders in future generations.

From the depths of Baihua to the Yangfang Reservoir in the Qinghe area, it takes an hour and a half, which is fast, and two hours is normal.

After riding for more than 20 minutes, the welcoming team sent by their village finally arrived.

"Wang Wang Wang"

As the old saying goes, once born, twice cooked, you are still dogs, and your noses are too bad, haha, it won’t be another one!

Luo Tao and Hou Ming were calm on the surface, but they felt like they were facing a formidable enemy in their hearts. They didn't expect that their team would grow a lot after a few months.

You say it's fine to bite the big ones, and there are a few little puppies who are farts to join in the fun.

Luo Tao and the others took the wooden sticks they picked up on the road and retreated towards the uncle's house while fighting. They fought fiercely with a group of dogs for a long time, and no one could compare with them.

Luo Tao felt much better when he saw the wooden door.

Knock on the door and shout at the same time. It's okay if you don't shout. If you shout, there will always be a few ignorant dogs who will oppose you.

"Wang Wang Wang"

"Uncle, are you at home? Uncle!" He coughed, his voice sounded higher, and he was defeated by this group of Chinese pastoral dogs.

"Oh, Comrade Luo, why are you here? Are you still buying fish?"

I don’t know whether the uncle came out when he heard Luo Tao calling him, or whether he heard the dog calling him out to take a look.

"Uncle, I am mainly collecting old items this time. Let me introduce you to him. This is my colleague. Let's take a look at this pastoral scenery." Luo Tao introduced Hou Ming with a smile and handed him a cigarette.

"Oh, I thought you weren't coming? I've booked a hotel for you a long time ago. If you haven't come for so long, I'm taking the blame." The uncle continued to smoke and complained about why Luo Tao took so long to come.

"Master, this is my fault, please forgive me."

Luo Tao stuffed the uncle with five kilograms of meat coupons and five yuan. He was originally going to give it to him, but he didn't expect that the uncle would play a cruel trick on Luo Tao first.

"Haha, wait a minute and I'll ask them to bring something over for you to see." This old man is really a good guy, with a white face and a red face. He is good at everything.

Before leaving, he put the low table and horse at home under the locust tree, and made a pot of cold boiled water. This little man is a great scholar.Not to mention that it's really a bit of a treasure appraisal, all it needs is a host with a hammer.

We drank a lot of tea, but no one was waiting, and not one of the Chinese garden dogs left.

"Comrade Luo, I've been waiting for a long time. I've called everyone here. Please take a look at the things!"

"Ah! Okay, are there so many people here? Can you ask them to line up and come one by one?"

"No problem. Stop arguing. Just line up and come one by one. Look at what a mess you are in. We can't let others see the joke. Besides, as long as Comrade Luo likes what we bring, , the price will never let you suffer.”

This is fair to say, and he has the momentum of a village chief.

"Uncle Wang is right. We all come one by one and have a share. Brother, why don't we start with you first?"

Luo Tao spoke to a dark-skinned middle-aged man about forty years old.

"Okay, take a look at this jar, which is passed down from my family."

Luo Tao took the jar and smelled a sour smell. Good guy, this jar couldn't have been freshly made, right?

Sour is sour!It is a bit old, the old imitation of Yongzheng imitation of Chenghua, Fu Lu Shou Samsung jar, this one can still be collected.

"Brother, how about five dollars?"

"You gave too little."

"Then how much is appropriate?"

"Six yuan, if it's a penny less, I'll take it home and pickle it up."

Well, Luo Tao was so frightened that he couldn't stop ventilating if the price went up by one dollar. It's too scary.

"Take the money and see if it's okay?"

"Hey, that's right"

A good start, next place.

"Sister, don't bring over the bowls you bought two years ago."

"Uncle, you should keep this wine jar for yourself!"

"Madam, how much does this painting cost?"

"I want six dollars too"

"Here, you keep the money"

"Sister, I told you I don't want this bowl, why did you bring a bunch over?"

"Brother, this is different. This is an old thing. I said it was given to me by my ancestor when he was an errand in the palace. Please take a look at it."

"Okay." Luo Tao took the bowl and looked at it. It was different. It was new and old, white in color, thin in texture, and shiny. This is the characteristic of Dingjiao!

I also looked at the patterns inside the bowl, which turned out to be peonies carved out of flowers. I also looked at several other bowls, and none of the flowers were important. It seemed that it was destined to be stored in a cellar. I still have some doubts. If it was that set, at least it would be fine. There must be twelve, not just these five!
"Do you still have this bowl at Eldest Sister's house?"

"Ah! Yes, there are plenty. Brother, do you want this bowl?"

"Hehe, I want this bowl. It's an old thing. I wonder how many you have at home?"

"It seems like 24! I can't remember exactly."

"Really? Can you bring them all? If they are like these bowls, I want them all."

"It's also six yuan a piece." The elder sister is still very concerned about money and food.

"Same" Well, what did that big brother start with!No matter how much you like six yuan, you can’t lower the price.

Luo Tao paid for the bowls first, and the eldest sister agreed to leave only after receiving the money.

"Okay, wait a minute"

Luo Tao watched the elder sister leave, and while waiting for her, he bought two more inkstones and ancient jade.

"Brother, take a look, are they the same?"

Good guy, I just brought the things in my arms like this. I feel really big.

The person following should be her man, who seems to be here to act as a bodyguard. If so, it would cost more than 100 yuan!
Luo Tao looked at them one by one, and it turned out that they were right. They were the bowls specially made by Wangfu for the Dingjiao. There were 24 sets in a set, all with scratches and not too many. They were the best. This trip was worth it.

Luo Tao generously gave an extra bowl of money to collect the whole sum, hoping that they would still have good things waiting for him.

Then I was busy until about six o'clock in the afternoon, appraising the antiques brought by the folks.

Luo Tao also noticed something unusual. He always felt like someone was staring at them, so he told Hou Ming to pay attention to his surroundings.

Seeing that it was almost getting dark, I said goodbye to the uncle. Before leaving, I handed him five dollars and asked for two long rolling pins.

After politely declining the uncle's kindness, he packed up his things and hurried to the city.

　It's too cold. It's a bit cold to move bricks on this day.

　　Thank you for your support
　　Results, hey!It’s hard to describe in one word, but it’s an okay attempt at writing.
