Lin Fang didn't make an appointment, and Ma Weidu was obviously a little depressed. When he saw where Gu Bei brought him, he was more than just depressed.

"I said you already have a household worth ten thousand yuan, so why don't you take me out to eat braised pork?"

Famous store in Beijing, Small Intestine Chen.

"It's good to eat some, but you still have to choose?"

This was the first time for Gu Bei to meet Ma Weidu in this life, but he still couldn't help but bring back some habits from his previous life.

He knew that Lao Ma was informal and not that particular. Don't listen to Lao Ma's picky words. If the two of them really went to a big restaurant, Lao Ma might not be willing to go in.

"You are really good."

Ma Weidu muttered something and followed Gu Bei in.

“This signboard hasn’t been put up for a few years.”

This is true. During the great times, century-old restaurants like Xiaochang Chen were all turned into four olds.

I remember last year, the signboard of this store was still "Battle Braised Pork".

"Comrade, two bowls, a little more soup, cut two more lungs, add fifty cents and five flowers."

Gu Bei ordered food and collected tickets, and the two of them found a table and sat down.

"Xiao Gu, you are an expert!"

"Who in the old capital doesn't know this yet?"

The more Ma Weidu paid attention to Beiyue now, he felt that his own temper was as proficient in antiques, and at the same time his temperament and temperament were somewhat similar.

He has many friends, but few of them are really close to him.

"Xiao Gu, do you still have paintings like that at home?"

Gu Bei took a pair of chopsticks and put them in his hands, tapping them gently while looking at Ma Weidu with a meaningful look in his eyes.

"What's going on? Are you planning to join in?"

Ma Weidu waved his hands repeatedly: "Pull him down, I've just started, I'm not an old person, and I don't have your skills."

Obviously, Ma Weidu had guessed that there was something fishy about the "authentic painting" of Monk Juran that Gu Bei sold to Smith.

However, don’t tell the truth once you see through it.

Ma Weidu said he had just joined the industry, but he knew all the rules.

Not to mention that the unlucky one is Yang Maozi. He can just enjoy it, so why bother to expose it?

Speaking of distressing skills, Ma Weidu was also puzzled. Gu Bei looked young, where did he learn this skill?

"Xiao Gu, are there any old people in your family who work in this field?"

He didn't have any other thoughts. He really liked those old things. If he could meet a knowledgeable person, he would also like to become a master.

"Since my ancestors' generation, our family has been working for the landlords. It was not until my grandfather entered the capital."

"Then your skills..."

"Don't ask, I won't tell you even if you ask."

Gu Bei directly interrupted Ma Weidu's thoughts.

"However, if you really want to learn, we can communicate. If you are unsure about something good, I can also show it to you."

Ma Weidu smiled: "Okay, that's what I want from you. When are you free to come to my house and take a look?"

"Okay! But I won't be able to do it next week. I promised my classmates to come and help."

Gu Bei still remembers the graduation drama of the acting department. Since he agreed, he must do it.

In addition, since I have joined this industry, I have to keep in touch with my classmates.

This generation of theirs will all be elites in the future.

Two large bowls of stewed meat were served, with garlic sauce, soy sauce tofu, and coriander added. The whole room was full of people snoring and chewing hard, which was regarded as a meat dish.

This stuff is a delight for the poor. In the past, poor people couldn't afford meat, so they used it to satisfy their cravings. Even now, it's not much better. A big bowl costs 50 cents. If it's not enough, you can add soup.

I don’t know when it started, braised food suddenly became high-end, and the price also skyrocketed.

The last time Gu Bei ate in his previous life was probably 80 a bowl, which the average working class could hardly afford.

The two of them had a meal, exchanged addresses, and went their separate ways.

Ride home.

"What's going on?"

As soon as he entered the door, Gu Bei saw Gu Nan wiping away tears.

"Nannan, whoever bullied you, tell me, I can't beat him to death."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Li Sufen came up and punched Gu Bei.

"Why are you crying when you're not being bullied? Mom! Didn't you scold Nannan again?"

When Li Sufen heard this, her fist that had just fallen was raised again.

"I see you are itchy too."

Gu Bei quickly hid and squatted down in front of Gu Nan: "Nan Nan, tell me, what's going on?"

When Gu Nan saw his relatives, he felt even more sad and told the story with tears in his eyes.

hehe!

"Just to watch TV?"

The Wang family, who live in the east wing of the central courtyard, bought a TV set a few days ago, and the children in the courtyard would run over to watch it every day after dinner.

The Wang family is kind-hearted and they never rush when their children come to their door. They see them as often as they like.

After Gu Nan had dinner today, he called Ji Peijie and Liu Bei to go to Wang's house. However, just after seeing her for a while, Aunt Wang's niece started to chase them away.

"Brother, you didn't hear that she...she spoke so unpleasantly. She also said that we are all beggars and we should go to her aunt's house to take advantage."

Seeing that Gu Nan was about to cry again, Gu Bei quickly persuaded her and promised to get up early tomorrow to buy her meat buns, finally coaxing the girl to sleep.

"Don't listen to her complaint. Your Aunt Wang came here specially just now, and the child quarreled. What's it worth?"

Gu Bei felt relieved after hearing this. Fortunately, both Li Sufen and Aunt Wang were sensible and had talked the matter out as early as possible to save their heart from knotting up. It was not worth affecting the relationship between neighbors because of such a trivial matter.

"Okay, okay, don't cry anymore."

As Gu Bei spoke, he took a towel and rubbed it twice on Gu Nan's face, which made him cry like a little cat.

"Brother! Li Xin is going to stay at Aunt Wang's house for a few days. Will I have no place to watch TV in the future?"

Well……

Could it be that this girl was crying so unjustly just now?

"Mom! How about... let's buy a TV at home?"

After all, it was reborn from an era of highly developed technology. Nowadays, the electrical equipment in this house is really too much for Gu Bei to complain about. The only thing that can be called a big item is the old radio, which buzzes as soon as it is turned on.

The sound.

"Whatever you want to buy, a 12-inch one costs two to three hundred."

Obviously, Li Sufen was reluctant to bear this expense.

It is said that there are three people in the Gu family who work to make money. Gu Xiaowu is also the section chief of the security department in the food factory, with a monthly salary of 80 to 90 yuan. Plus the wages of Li Sufen and Gu Bei, their family will definitely enter the courtyard three times.

The living conditions of more than 20 families are among the best.

But Li Sufen insisted on living a tight life in the days that should have been abundant. Gu Nan's eyes turned blue in anticipation of having a meal of meat every month.

"Mom, our family can't even afford two or three hundred, right?"

"What do you know, you are not allowed to get married in the future? Your sister will have to spend money to go to college. If you don't save more money now, will you be blinded later?"

Okay!

"Mom! You are really thinking long-term!"

Gu Bei was speechless when he heard this.

"But why do we go to work to make money? According to you, after I get married and my sister goes to college, I have to save money in the future. I have to have children after I get married, right? My sister graduates from college.

It’s time to get married, so I need to save a dowry for her, right? In the future, you’ll need to save money to raise a child, and you’ll need to save money to study. When your child grows up, you’ll get married, and you’ll need to save money. How long will it take to save this money?

"

Good guy!

Li Sufen felt dizzy as she listened. Was Gu Bei telling her an adapted version of "The Foolish Old Man Moves the Mountains"?

Anyway, there are endless descendants.

"So, Mom, you work hard to improve our family's life. You see, Uncle Wang's family has added a big thing, but Aunt Wang doesn't have a job, so she relies on Uncle Wang to make money alone. No one feels bad about it. Why?"
