1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 98
Luo Tao had no choice but to get up again and open the door to greet the great god who didn't know who it was.

When he opened the door, he saw that it was no one else. Lao Zhangtou was carrying a caged bird and he didn't know where he came from.

"Hey, this bird really makes you very happy, and you are getting more and more temperamental when you are old." Luo Tao couldn't help saying a few words when he saw this one.

"Hey, boy, look, how is Huang Qiao'er doing?" Old Zhangtou started to show off again.

"Not very good." Luo Tao just said that it was not very good.

The bird was not happy anymore, and actually imitated the call of a magpie a few times.

Luo Tao was amazed by the learning ability of this thing. He didn't expect that the learning ability was really strong. He had just learned a bird language after not seeing him for a long time.

He quickly walked down the two steps, bent down to take a good look at the little thing, coughed, and barked a few more times.

"Yes, how did you teach me?" Luo Tao asked him.

"I go to the Temple of Heaven every day. In the evening when there are many birds, I take them with me. This thing is so unsatisfactory that I learned the language of birds." These words are a bit hateful, but the premise is that you don't look at Lao Zhangtou's face. That's obviously a little tsundere look on her face.

"Come in quickly, two of you are here. Today I want you to gain some knowledge." Luo Tao said and pulled him through the door.

"Don't pull me, slow down, who is it?" Old Zhangtou was obviously unable to follow him when he pulled him.

"Mr. Zhang Boju and Mr. Wang Shixiang, are they qualified enough to teach you?"

"Hey, is it true?" Lao Zhangtou asked Luo Tao in a low voice.

Luo Tao raised his little head and said, "Why did I lie to you? You'll know when you get in."

"Ahem, please show me if there is anything inappropriate." Lao Zhangtou also placed the birdcage in his hand on the ground and asked Luo Tao with his waist straight.

"It's okay. I'm very good today, much better than usual." Luo Tao was not lying. I don't know if he is looking for a girlfriend. He has been wearing more formal clothes recently.

Old Zhangtou's clothes and Wang Lao's clothes are really similar. Thinking about it, they should be able to chat.

When Mr. Zhang and the others saw someone coming in, they stood up to show respect.

As soon as Lao Zhang put the birdcage down, he quickly shook hands with the two gentlemen and introduced himself shamelessly.

"Hello, I've heard Luo Tao mention you a long time ago, but I didn't expect to meet you today." Mr. Zhang also said empty words.

"Ashamed, I didn't expect to ask you to remember it."

"Hello! I heard that you are a master carpenter." Mr. Wang and Lao Zhangtou greeted.

"Hey, what a master, Mr. Wang, please don't say that. I'm just a little carpenter, nothing compared to you." Old Zhangtou was really apologetic today, and he didn't have the coaxing energy of the past.

"Discuss together"

"Don't dare, don't dare"

Seeing that they were almost done talking, Su Guilan stepped forward to say hello to Lao Zhangtou.

"Brother Zhang, you haven't been here for a long time. What have you been busy with? The little guy misses you very much."

"Big sister, I've been busy training that Huang Qiaoer recently, the little guy really misses me?"

"Hey, how dare I deceive you about this? If you don't believe me, go and ask yourself." He said and pointed at Little October sitting in the chair.

Old Zhangtou went to greet Little October with a smile, while Mr. Wang seriously played with the Huang Qiaoer that Old Zhangtou brought.

"Master Zhang, where do you usually train this bird?" Mr. Wang saw that Huang Qiao'er in the cage had learned to call, so he asked him.

After hearing this, old Zhangtou left Xiao Shiyue, walked over, and explained in detail how he trained Huang Qiaoer.

The two of them were chatting very enthusiastically, and Luo Tao had no choice but to step aside and drink tea with Mr. Zhang, and at the same time ask for some knowledge about ancient coins recorded in "Quan Zhi".

Luo Tao raised his doubts these days one by one and asked Mr. Zhang for advice. Mr. Zhang also told Luo Tao everything he knew. The young and old in the courtyard, one taught seriously and the other listened carefully. I couldn't be more envious.

After all the questions were answered, Mr. Zhang asked: "When did you buy this fish tank? I didn't expect that you also got water lilies. It's a bit interesting. You guys are starting to enjoy it."

"Hey, sir, what I'm saying is that I think people shouldn't be burdened by life at all. Eating, drinking and having fun can be considered a kind of life." Luo Tao humbly spoke of his ambition.

"Well, this! It's hard to say, but it's not easy to say simple either. It's best to just let nature take its own course." Mr. Zhang held the crook of the bamboo stick with both hands and said thoughtfully.

"Mr. Zhang is right, let nature take its course. You cannot force your life." Mr. Wang also agreed with Mr. Zhang's idea of ​​letting nature take its course.

This is not to tell you not to fight, it is to say that you should go with the flow.

Crossing the Pacific Ocean with a small fishing boat is a change of fate against the sky or against the trend. The possibility of success is basically zero. This is not an objection but a way to find the right position.

"It's your luck to come across this good situation, but don't go against the trend. You will get what you want if you follow the trend."

"Well, I learned a lesson today."

Mr. Zhang looked at the fish in the tank and said, "Where did you get the red tiger head? It couldn't be Liu Jingchun's, right?"

When he heard Hong Hutou and Liu Jingchun, Mr. Wang came over.

"It's really a red tiger head!"

"I didn't get it from Mr. Liu, I got it from an old man named Zhou in an alley in Longxugou. He gave me a few tails."

"Your surname is Zhou? I've never heard of it before. There are many talented people in this fish handle style!"

"Yes, do you always look at the fish in this tank?" Luo Tao led them to look at the two scarlet-topped purple robes.

"Is this a new species of fish?" Mr. Wang said.

"I don't know about that. I heard Uncle Zhou say that this species is very rare. In order to get these two goldfish, I almost knelt down for him." Luo Tao said, not forgetting to exaggerate a little. Fortunately, Lao Zhangtou People honestly didn't expose Luo Tao's background. "What's this name? Do you know it?"

"Uncle Zhou said it was called Zhudingziluopao"

"Yeah, very vivid"

……

"Can you take me to see your collection now?" Mr. Wang has been waiting for such a long time and has long wanted to see the charm of the more than 300 pieces of Ming and Qing furniture.

"Oh, the collections are all in this courtyard, come with me." Luo Tao led the three of them through the Moon Gate to the east courtyard.

Seeing this, Su Guilan coaxed the little guy and prepared lunch.

"Hey, this yard is big enough." Mr. Wang was a little surprised when he came here for the first time, but it didn't matter. After all, he was from a rich family, and his knowledge was not comparable to that of ordinary people.

"Sir please"

Everyone came to the west wing first, and Luo Tao opened the door.

Mr. Wang looked around: "It's well preserved. It seems that many of them have been repaired."

"Yes, you have really good eyesight. Almost all the things you buy are broken. It's all thanks to Master Zhang to fix them."

"Well, it's not easy anymore."

We visited the west wing, the east wing and the south wing. Luo Tao was with Mr. Zhang all the way. Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhang were so good at chatting that we couldn't understand even the "black talk" they said. Mr. Zhang happened to be right too. Not interested in this.

The old and young chatted about the bottle together, and would say a few words when encountering rare items. Luo Tao carefully wrote down the collection experience of the two elders.

After looking at the furniture, I went to the north room to look at paintings and calligraphy. There were more than 20 paintings hanging on the three walls. They were less famous paintings from the period before and after liberation. Such paintings cost only a few yuan a foot, and some only cost a few cents.

Luo Tao bought nearly a hundred paintings to hang outside for display, and the famous paintings were placed in camphor wood cabinets.

"Are these just the paintings?" Mr. Wang asked.

"Hey, don't worry, the famous paintings are all in this cabinet." Luo Tao opened the cabinet and saw that it was divided into six compartments, and each compartment was filled with calligraphy and paintings.

"Sir please"

Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhang both held a painting casually, "Where did you buy this painting by Wang Shimin?"

Luo Tao gave a detailed introduction.

"Next time you come, I will bring you a big expert."

"Is it Mr. Xu?" Luo Tao asked curiously.

"Why, isn't he enough?" Mr. Wang said with a smile.

"Dare, I don't have the guts. I've heard Mr. Zhang mention Mr. Xu a long time ago, but I haven't seen him. If you always invite Mr. Xu, you can choose where you want to eat."

"You are really naughty," Mr. Zhang stretched out his hand and pointed at Luo Tao.

"Haha, you owe me and Mr. Zhang a lot of food. Don't just say that you have to treat me once." Mr. Wang said and put away the painting.

"Keep this pair well. With it, Xu Bangda will definitely come, haha."

What kind of plot is this? Why don’t you explain it?

After looking at the calligraphy and painting, he went to the backyard. When he entered the door, Mr. Wang became restless.

He trotted over to a place, and it turned out that there were four huanghuali and red sandalwood under the eaves that were useless, they were erected with bricks and covered with grass thatch.

"You kid made it big enough, so you can put this thing here."

"Mr. Wang, I also want to get them into the house, but the wood is too long and there is no space for them to live in the room." Luo Tao did not expect that the old man would say something to himself about this.

Then he said: "How about we go in and take a look inside the house first?"

I never expected that the old gentleman threw a thunderbolt: "If you don't have room to put it here, I have room to put it there."

Old sir, you are a wise man and would not take advantage of children's things!

Luo Tao's heart was pounding, and he didn't know how to answer this sentence.Mr. Zhang smiled and said: "Haha, let's go in."

Entering the house, there is a spectacular row of collection shelves made of huanghuali and red sandalwood. All eight houses are like this, but the things on the shelves are just ordinary books.

"Good news! It's a pity"

Hearing Mr. Wang say this, Luo Tao felt a little aggrieved. I also wanted to put something on it, but the Friendship Store refused to sell it to me!
Seeing this, Luo Tao said to the parents again: "Mr. Wang, Mr. Zhang, let's go upstairs and take a look."

Several people turned around and went upstairs. Their first impression was still shock.

Mr. Wang thought to himself that this kid was born as a bandit!They robbed several furniture factories in the capital to get so much Zhennan wood.

Luo Tao didn't care how shocked Mr. Wang was, so he asked Lao Zhangtou to explain to them how to harvest such high-quality nanmu wood.

Then he accompanied them to look at the ancient books and miscellaneous items on the bookshelves. Luo Tao took six strands of golden nanmu bracelets from the small cabinet and asked them to hang them around to relieve their boredom. After a few exchanges of blame, the two gentlemen accepted them. This is Luo Tao's tuition money.

Everyone went back to the courtyard.

After a simple lunch, Luo Tao took them home one by one on a tricycle.
