After rebirth and divorce, I took care of my children and became rich
Chapter 90 News of the Four Courtyards
Chen Hong happily kissed her son's little face and said, "Okay, then I will wait for my son to take me to the best university. Then my mother will be the happiest mother in the world."
The two women chatted and worked at the same time. The TV series was finished, and the bamboo baskets of bamboo fungi and bamboo shoots were peeled and cleaned.
Chen Hong sent her son to take a bath and go to bed first. He had to go to school tomorrow, so he had to go to bed early and get up early to develop a good habit.
After her son went to bed, Chen Hong finished her bath and sat in the living room watching TV. She then moved a large plastic basket of bamboo fungus out of the space and slowly peeled and cleaned it.
First, I peeled out more than 40 kilograms, went to the kitchen, turned on the dryer, dried the bamboo fungus, and then returned to the living room to continue peeling it.
It wasn't until 100 o'clock in the evening that more than [-] kilograms of fresh mushrooms were peeled out and the dryer was used to dry them twice.
Chen Hong put all the unfinished things into the space, let the air dryer run, and dried it again before returning to the bedroom and entering the space from the bathroom.
I still don’t know what the biggest gain today is. Being able to endure it until now, Chen Hong thinks that her endurance is far beyond ordinary people.
She first took a clean cotton cloth and carefully wiped the nanmu box up and down.
Seeing the fully exposed golden nanmu box, Chen Hong felt a huge shock for the first time.
Under the illumination of the light, the wooden box shimmered with dazzling golden light. "Jinsi Nan, Jinsi Nan, you really deserve the name of Jinsi!" Muttered to himself, Chen Hong was indulged in the charming brilliance and intoxicating fragrance of the golden nan wooden box.
This wooden box is made of three different patterned boards.It seems that several different golden nan wood materials were used.
The bottom of the box is a thick gold-plated plate. Chen Hong likes the pattern on the lid very much. It is all a pattern of phoenix tail feathers. It shines brightly when viewed in different directions.
It was as if a phoenix really landed on the lid of the box. When he shook his head slightly, the tail feathers seemed to come alive, swaying slightly in the wind, and they were really alive.
The golden nanmu on all sides of the box shows a water wave pattern, which looks particularly layered, just like the water surface blown by the breeze, naturally agile and suitable for movement and stillness.
These naturally formed patterns are more realistic than those painted by painters. They are simply ingenious. No wonder the golden nanmu is called "Emperor Wood"?
Sure enough, the name is well-deserved, just look at the bright yellow color, the golden light is shining, and it is as brilliant as cloud brocade.The unique fragrance naturally exudes has persisted for thousands of years.
Ordinary people neither dare to use this luxurious wood that symbolizes royal style, nor can they afford it!
After admiring the beauty of the golden nanmu box, Chen Hong carefully opened the lid and took a look.
This wooden box didn't even have a lock installed, as if it was left for later generations.
As soon as the wooden box was opened, Chen Hong breathed a sigh of relief.The true face was finally revealed. It turned out that there were not a lot of gold and silver jewelry inside.
There are only about twenty pieces of ancient jade, most of which are jade pendants, jade medals, belt hooks, finger pendants and fan pendants and sword pendants used by men.
Most of them are mutton-fat white jade, with only a few pieces of black jade and jasper, and not even a single gemstone or ruby. The color is really simple and elegant.
Most of these jades are engraved with patterns such as dragons, unicorns, orchids, bamboos, and bats. Chen Hong doesn't understand jade and has never studied history, so she can't figure out which dynasty these patterns are from.
But she could still see the basic quality. These were top-quality jade. The jade quality of mutton-fat jade was particularly warm and transparent, while the jade of Xiu jade exuded a heavy atmosphere, but the carved patterns were extremely delicate.
Chen Hong discovered a small tiger carved from mutton-fat white jade among these accessories.
Chen Hong fell in love with it at first sight. She picked it up and wiped it clean carefully with a soft cotton cloth. She held it in her hand and played with it slowly. She could feel it was very warm and moist. Different from the coolness of other jades, it turned out that this was a small jade tiger carved from warm jade. .
Now Chen Hong was relieved. It turned out that these things were destined to be hers, because Chen Hong was born in the year of Tiger, so she was the destined one for the cave owner!
After filling a basin of space water and adding half a bottle of white wine, Chen Hong washed and sterilized the jade articles one by one. She was not short of money now and planned to keep all these good things for herself to enjoy.
When you grow old, leave it to your children as a family heirloom. Starting from your own generation, your family will also have a legacy!
I added new space water and white wine to the basin, wiped the inside of the golden nanmu box clean, and placed it on the shelf. I looked left and right and couldn't get enough. Is this the light of wealth?
Finally, when space was needed, Chen Hong remembered the table mat material.I opened it and looked at it. There were some words that I didn't recognize, but I still managed to figure out the meaning.
This is not a martial arts secret book, nor a practice method, but a basic introductory book that teaches people how to breathe, breathe, and regulate their breath.
After reading it, Chen Hong concluded that this might really be something left by a Taoist priest or a Taoist nun.Aren’t the wise men on TV sitting on futons motionless and meditating on their breathing?
This is similar to the yoga I practice every night, but the movement and stillness are different.
I read it carefully twice more, and except for the unfamiliar words, I generally understood it.Chen Hong left the space and went to bed.
What Chen Hong didn't know was that this broken book had magical powers.In her sleep, she was unconsciously breathing using the method written in the book, as if it was a natural behavior.
Practicing yoga for a long time seems to have opened a channel for her body's breath to circulate. Everything is running by itself in her sleep. Chen Hong still knows nothing about it at this time.
When I got up in the morning, I sent my son to school after having breakfast.Chen Hong went to the village chief's uncle's house, and now all the work in the fields is finished.
She planned to call the village elders and Uncle Erhu's family to go to the mountains to collect tea leaves.
When the time comes for them to speculate, they can ask for tea if they like, or they can sell the tea to her for money. No matter what, it can be considered as an income.
When I arrived at the village chief's uncle's house, I mentioned this matter and the village chief uncle immediately agreed that everyone should go together.Just like that, three large families went into the mountains to pick tea leaves.
Chen Hong led them to the small tea forest and let the two families rest while picking tea while she continued walking into the mountains.
There are still toon buds and thorn buds in the two valleys that have not been picked!Chen Hong's feet were fast. She left the sight of several old people, put the bamboo basket into the space, and trotted quickly into the mountains.
I just walked through it yesterday and found the path. At about eight o'clock, I arrived at the valley where toon trees and aralia trees grow.
At this time, in the empty valley with no one around, only Chen Hong's clear and sweet sound of "clicking, clicking," breaking wild vegetables echoed.
After breaking off all the fat and tender fragrant stick buds and thorn buds growing in the two valleys, more than 300 kilograms of mountain vegetables were harvested each.
Chunhong transplanted a few more azaleas and winter jasmine into the space, and then hurried back.
When she returned to the small tea forest, the village chief and her uncle had finished picking tea leaves and were eating and resting, waiting for her.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, everyone hurried down the mountain.When I got home, I set up a pot at the village chief's uncle's house and started frying tea leaves. This time I made about six kilograms of tea leaves.
The village chief's uncle wanted to keep some tea leaves to drink. He had been drinking the tea leaves given to him by Chen Hong since last year and was used to it.Now there is only an old couple in the family, and they are not too short of money.
Uncle Erhu's family didn't ask for tea. Their children are still young and they will buy a house in the future and their grandson will go to school and get married.
There were still a lot of things to spend money on, and besides, his family didn’t usually like to drink tea, so he decided to ask for money.The village chief's family asked for half a catty of tea, and the remaining five and a half catties went to Chen Hong.
It was agreed to give Uncle Erhu's family another 2000 yuan. Chen Hong was very embarrassed and did not do anything about the tea this time. She took out a large basket of more than 100 kilograms of wild vegetables and divided it with the two families.
In triplicate, one for each of the three households. Toona buds are also available locally.
Only a few people in the village plant one in front of and behind their houses, and not every family has one. It is considered a rare vegetable and costs at least six or seven yuan per catty at the market.
They have never eaten thorn sprouts. Chen Hong said that they taste better than Chinese toon sprouts and are most suitable for the elderly at the beach because its main medicinal value is to treat rheumatoid arthritis.
This disease is the most common chronic disease among coastal fishermen.
Xiangbang sprouts are also delicious, especially the sprouts grown in the mountains, which have a rich and fragrant taste.
We gained a lot from going up the mountain today. That night, everyone decided to have a dinner at the village chief’s house.
Aunt Erhu came home and brought a basin of steamed buns and a piece of bacon weighing three kilograms.
Chen Hong went home and brought two big fish, two lobsters and two bottles of wine. The rest were paid for by the village chief's family.
A total of eight dishes were arranged in the evening. Chen Hong made three new dishes: scrambled eggs with thorn sprouts, fried thorn sprouts and fried thorn sprouts with bacon. She taught Aunt Guo and Erhu how to cook the thorn sprouts.
Both old men have been cooking all their lives, and the method of thorning the sprouts is very simple and you can do it at a glance.Once I tasted the taste of thorn sprouts, I quickly developed various ways to make thorn sprouts.
Pan-fried, stir-fried, deep-fried, mixed, and stuffed with thorn sprouts, vegetable cakes, dumplings, and steamed buns, I tried all kinds of ways to eat it.
As soon as she returned home after dinner, Chen Hong received a call from Director Guan of ICBC Beijing. Director Guan told Chen Hong that he and Fang Yitong had found several courtyard houses for her.
They had also seen the house and were quite satisfied with it. They asked Chen Hong when she had time to go to Beijing as soon as possible to make sure it was confirmed.
He also told Chen Hong that these houses were all unsold at auction last year. They were all located in the east and west inner cities. The locations were very good, but the prices were not low.
After listening to his words, Chen Hong suddenly remembered that in her previous life, a batch of courtyard houses were auctioned in Beijing in 06, but due to various reasons, they all failed to be auctioned, and not even one set was sold.
Are these the houses that Director Guan mentioned?
Chen Hong asked Director Guan carefully on the phone. What a coincidence. According to Director Guan, it was indeed the same batch of houses that failed to be auctioned last year.
However, the real reason for the failed auction is different from what is circulated in the outside world. There is an inside story, and ordinary people do not know the details.
This involves many other complicated reasons, because most of the buyers participating in the auction are foreign businessmen and Hong Kong people, and their family backgrounds and political backgrounds are relatively complex.
Relevant government departments considered safety issues. If a house in the inner city of the capital was bought by people like them, it might become a source of instability. Therefore, when the auction started, the prices of all auction houses were temporarily increased significantly.
Because the price adjustment was too high, the businessmen who purchased the houses were definitely not willing to suffer this loss, so none of the units were sold and all were rejected.
But there is nothing wrong with the house itself. It’s just that the national security department has raised many house purchase restrictions through this matter.
The two women chatted and worked at the same time. The TV series was finished, and the bamboo baskets of bamboo fungi and bamboo shoots were peeled and cleaned.
Chen Hong sent her son to take a bath and go to bed first. He had to go to school tomorrow, so he had to go to bed early and get up early to develop a good habit.
