1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 81

"Are you okay, brother?" Hou Ming asked with concern.

"It's okay. Otherwise, what else do you want? Beat them to death?" Luo Tao rubbed his knees and said softly.

"Well, it's too cheap for those grandsons, otherwise we go back and take care of those three as well."

Hou Ming said bitterly that these things dared to use the knife on Lord Ma's head, and he was impatient.

"Okay, luckily they split into two groups, otherwise we wouldn't be able to deal with them, so we might as well go see how things are doing."

Luo Tao picked up the two sticks and checked whether there was anything in the basket.

It's good to lead the battlefield far away, otherwise it will be over if the car falls over.

Fortunately, it was intact, otherwise the three grandchildren would have to leave one leg each to compensate.

"Okay, let's go back too, don't let them call someone and come back again."

Luo Tao stuffed the rolling pin into the bicycle basket, patted the bicycle seat, pushed his feet back, flipped open the bicycle stand, turned over and expressed his worries to Hou Ming.

"Um"

"Also! Don't talk about what happened today when you go back. The knife wound on my arm was caused by accident. Remember?"

Luo Tao and Hou Ming drove side by side and had to give him a few words of advice.

"Hey, don't worry, brother, don't say a word out of my mouth." Hou Ming promised with a smile, today is really exciting.

"That's good. There's also Brother Yu. Go back and find more people to ask. Is Buddha so rampant now?"

"Well, I've never heard of this guy. He should be in his early two years," Hou Ming analyzed.

"Hmph, I'd like to meet this Brother Yu when I have time." Luo Tao snorted coldly, saying that cats and dogs have become kings.

Hey, you said it as if you were something you weren't.

Jiangshan has talented people on behalf of the people, and they have been leading the way for hundreds of years.

The journey was uneventful. When we arrived at Mianmian Hutong, there were many young people hanging out, but few people dared to find trouble with Luo Tao in this area.

When we got home, we opened the door first. Luo Tao worked with Hou Ming to carry the bicycles in one by one.

"Why are you back? Look what time it is." Seeing Luo Tao and the others pushing the car in, Su Guilan quickly got up and ran over to ask.

Luo Tao saw that everyone was really there. Luo Shaoyi, Zhu Lin and old people were all there.

"Ahem, there are a lot of things, so I was delayed," Luo Tao explained to his mother, Su Guilan, with a smile.

"Ah, what did you do with this cut, what did you do, my ancestor?" Su Guilan cried out loudly when she saw a short cut on Luo Tao's arm.

Everyone listened and hurriedly came to see why the next village still got injured and came back.

"What did you do? You got into a fight with someone?" Zhu Lin asked softly.

Luo Tao was stunned for a moment, "What's the point of fighting with someone with my physique? What are you thinking about? I just accidentally got scratched by a porcelain bowl. If you don't believe me, ask Hou Ming."

Luo Tao looked at Hou Ming and motioned for him to answer quickly, "Sister, don't worry too much, my brother just got scratched by the broken porcelain bowl, nothing else."

"Have you eaten yet?"

"Ahem, why don't you tell me that you are a biological mother? Please hurry up and make two bowls of noodles. Remember to add two eggs. I am exhausted today."

When Luo Tao heard that the topic had changed, he quickly asked Su Guilan to cook some food.

"Hey, you two wait a moment, I'm just going to do it."

Su Guilan heard that there was nothing serious about it, it's okay if her son hasn't eaten yet, let's cook quickly.

"You kid isn't telling the truth," Lao Zhang waited for them to turn around, then looked at Luo Tao and said softly.

Luo Tao glared at him, was it just you who saw it?My father, Luo Shaoyi, also knew it and didn't say anything out loud, so it looked like you.

While waiting for the meal, Luo Tao and Hou Ming took out the things.

"Why do you make so many big bowls?" Old Zhangtou, an uneducated person, spoke positively.

Luo Tao looked at the confused looks in their eyes. Even Hou Ming didn't know why he wanted to collect these bowls and jars. Calligraphy, painting and jade could understand why they bought these eating bowls and jars for pickling sauerkraut.

This opportunity is so rare that we must seize it. This is where Teacher Luo’s first antiques class began.

"Hey, don't underestimate these bowls. If it's not a big deal, there may not be a few sets in the Forbidden City."

"What do you mean? Is this bowl so rare?" Lao Zhangtou couldn't believe that this bowl that didn't even exist was in such short supply.

"There are many bowls like this, but I haven't heard of a set of 24 sets. Do you know how hot this one is?" You have to put on airs, otherwise they will really look down upon you.

“This is a special bowl made from Dingzhou ware in Hebei Province”

"Tao'er, you mean this bowl is from a fixed cellar." It's better to have some basic skills and be able to answer quickly.

"Well, dad, look at the flowers in the bowl." Luo Tao handed a bowl to him, and the others took a bowl and looked at it in the dim light.

"This pattern is so beautiful, it's not just painted on."

"Yes, it is carved out with a wooden knife and bamboo slices. It is very light but not deep, and the flowers are just right."

Luo Tao said and took another bowl to show him, "Look at this."

Luo Shaoyi took it, looked at it for a while, and said, "Aren't they all the same?"

"Dad, please take a good look at whether flowers are one kind of flower? 24 bowls, 24 kinds of flowers, this is the price of this set of bowls."

Everyone changed bowls again and looked at it, it was true.

"Brother, no wonder you asked her if she had any more after looking at the bowl. So you know that this bowl is a group!" Hou Ming remembered the situation of putting away the bowl.

"Hey, if the eldest sister hadn't said that her ancestors had been servants in the palace, I wouldn't have looked at the flowers, otherwise I would have missed it."

Luo Tao is also grateful that he thinks a lot and has a rich reserve of knowledge.

"You know how to pick up things, how much would you get if you sold them?" Lao Zhangtou praised Luo Tao and then asked a very practical question.

"It's vulgar to talk about money." Luo Tao was playing with the bowl without raising his head, pretending to be a boss.

"Oh, so pure and noble"

"Let's talk about it, it's not really for sale" Zhu Lin, why are you so philistine, you must correct her in the future, let me talk about it after my daughter-in-law speaks.

"It's hard to say. If you sell it to a person who knows the goods, it will cost you a thousand gold, but if you sell it to a person who doesn't know the goods, it will be just a bowl to eat."

"This set of 24 bowls is not common, and the flowers are all different. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the best."

While Luo Tao was talking, his hands and eyes were staring at the bowls on the small table. Good ones are rare and should be cherished.

"The noodles are ready, you two hurry up and eat." Su Guilan brought out a bowl in each hand.

Hou Ming quickly stood up and took the two bowls of noodles: "Thank you, Auntie."

"Thank you kid, I'll get you chopsticks." She turned around and went to the kitchen to get chopsticks.

Luo Tao asked Hou Ming to bring it over, and he looked at the sauerkraut jar again, Luo Shaoyi and Lao Zhangtou looked at the painting, Zhu Lin played with the ancient jade.

After a while, someone kicked the mat under Luo Tao's seat and said, "Here are the chopsticks for you. Why did we buy so many bowls? We don't have any shortage at home. How can we get this pickled cabbage jar back?"

Luo Tao took the chopsticks without saying a word. He was starving to death. There was no need to tell his old lady Su Guilan about this antique knowledge. After eating, just talk about the money and it's over.

"Mom, come and take a look at this jade." The daughter-in-law is still caring, and she doesn't face her mother-in-law.

"Yeah" before he hit Luo Tao with his hand.

Fortunately, his concentration was not affected, otherwise there would be noodles hanging from his nose.

After finishing the meal in a few bites, the two of them washed the dishes and put them back in the kitchen. After putting away the things, Hou Ming and Lao Zhangtou made do with resting for the night.

Luo Tao rinsed briefly, then went back to the room and went to bed.

"Is there a fight?" Zhu Lin said holding Luo Tao's arm.

"Haha, it's okay, I met two of them,

The scratch was careless, don't worry and go to sleep." Luo Tao rubbed his head on her hair a few times to comfort her.

"Huh, you just want to be brave and go to the countryside for nothing. If you don't think about me, you have to think about our unborn child."

Luo Tao couldn't bear to hear the woman's soft touch and kissed her forehead again.

"I understand, I will stay with you and the baby from now on, okay?"

"Hmph, sleep"

Luo Tao was lying on his side, his eye sockets gradually turned sour and moist, and he closed his eyes to review his past and present lives.

He fell asleep very late.
