Chapter 324 Circle
Ma Modu just entered the door and stared at the two vases with flowers on the long table in the living room. If he didn't miss it, these two should be blue and white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty.
While playing cards, his eyes would blink at the two vases from time to time, and then look at other places. After a while, he saw that the painting stuck in the middle of the long table was also very extraordinary.
The content of the painting is a very common nine-nine-nine cold dispelling picture, but this technique seems to be very simple, and it may be the work of a famous artist.
Look at the shelves full of video tapes against the wall, which all show the extraordinaryness of the owner.
"Nan Batian, where's your honey, why haven't I seen you?"
Wang Yan pulled the cigarette from his lips, and as he shook it, all the ash fell on his thigh. He shook it casually, and turned to ask Nanyi.
"He has a serious job."
"Oh, where do you work? If the work is not good, buddies can arrange it."
"Young bragging, you haven't figured it out yet."
"I didn't brag. It's not easy to arrange for men, but there are places for women to arrange. Movie theaters, state-run canteens, grocery stores, where can't be stuffed in."
Nan Yi said calmly: "21 years old, division level, you can arrange a good unit."
"Hey, think I'm talking too much." Wang Yan patted his mouth and said, "College student?"
"My classmate, who came back from studying abroad in China."
"That's no wonder. I said that at such a young age, it's impossible to climb so fast. Where did it come from?"
"bank."
Nanyi didn't hide anything about Liu Zhen's work, Wang Yan and the others in the big courtyard may not be able to get things done, but it's really easy to find out the details of a person who works in the capital.
It matters everywhere, and you can find out a thing or two about everything.
"Which bank, my brother will ask her for a loan some other day."
"Cosmic Bank."
"Nonsense, is there such a bank?"
"We'll see it in a few days."
When Wang Yan thought about it, he knew that the bank should still be under preparation.
"Then Liu Zhen is the patriarch, pioneering wasteland cattle, don't go too wild in the future."
"Is the word wild appropriate?"
"Whatever it is, as long as you understand what you hear, Nan Batian, you are a sucker for feelings."
"If you get the chance in the future, I'll see if you eat it or not." Nan Yi said with a playful smile on his face.
"Nonsense, of course I will eat what I have. What's wrong with eating soft rice? It's not shabby. I said Nan Batian, where did you go two days ago? I called you several times, but no one answered."
"I went back to the village to take care of the crops. If I don't take care of them well, next year's harvest will be poor."
"Oh, I forgot that you are the monitor of the earth maintenance team. When spring starts next year, remember to bring some sweet potatoes back. I haven't eaten roasted sweet potatoes for a long time."
"How could I grow something as cheap as a sweet potato? I'm always a slicker. I plant a scum in the spring, and I reap a bunch of scumbags in the fall."
"Hey, didn't I just publish an article in a magazine, and you know all about it?"
"Hehe, since when did Hooligan Wang become a man of culture?"
"If you're not careful, if you're not careful, don't praise buddy, buddy can't help but praise." Wang Yan said with a smile on his face, and took out another cigarette from the cigarette case, then crumpled the cigarette case and put it on the coffee table Last throw, "Do you have any cigarettes here?"
"I don't smoke, where do you get cigarettes, what do you smoke?"
"If you can buy it, it's 555. If you can't buy it, it's Hongtashan, the white one."
"You're really welcome."
Nan Yi glanced at the piled up Beiqi brand, and the smoke was only twenty-five cents or so.
"Brother came to you as a guest, you still have to serve him with good cigarettes and wine."
Nanyi called the tiger cub to the side, "Go and buy a 555, and another Hongtashan, and buy them at the Friendship Store. There are too many fakes out there."
With that said, Nanyi went to the drawer to find some foreign exchange certificates.
Wang Yan looked up and saw the foreign exchange certificate in Nanyi's hand, and asked, "Nan Batian, do you have a way to exchange the foreign exchange certificate?"
"What are you asking about? If you want to buy something, I'll exchange it for you one-to-one. If you want to lose money, you'd better take a break and open your restaurant. It's only a profit of 20 cents. Don't you think you'll lose your share?
By the way, is Ye Hengduo in the store? He asked me to inquire about it. I found out that a person had a batch of sixty-five pieces, which was quite cheap. "
"How are things?" Wang Yan asked as he covered the playing cards on the tea table.
"I didn't see it, I just made a few phone calls. It shouldn't be bad if you don't need it. It's an acquaintance of an acquaintance, and won't cheat me."
"That's good, are you in Yangcheng?"
"Well, give me a message and ask Ye Hengduo to call me. I'll ask someone else to keep it for how much you want, and let him go down to inspect the goods and pay for it."
"What do you want to say? I'll call him right now. The old man in the reception room of 301 Hospital, we have already paid him off. We will call him there." I didn't bring the phone to ask Nanyi.
After finishing the phone call, he sat back in his seat and picked up the playing cards, "Who is it?"
"You, a pair of jerks, do you want it?"
"Yes, why not, four and three, do you want to afford it?" Wang Yan played cards for a while, then turned to Nan Yi and said, "Seriously, Nan Batian, is there any way to give it to my buddy?" Let me introduce, my buddies are going crazy."
"Isn't your restaurant running well? It costs three to five hundred a day, and you can earn a lot in a month. What are you thinking about?"
"The earning is not bad, but the expenses are also high. Not to mention the three major items, but to smoke and drink every day, not to mention the wine. Anyway, Erguotou, the money for cigarettes is more, and you have to spend several dollars a day, no matter what. Oh, the flowers."
"What I told you last time was not a joke. You, you should rest. It's not a material for business at all, and the weight is okay."
"What the fuck, in the first half of this year, because of an inverted electronic watch, he just squatted for half a year."
Nan Yi really didn't know that Ye Xie had such a thing, but when it comes to business, he still thinks that Ye Xie is much more reliable than Wang Yu, of course it's only relative, in fact, neither of them is suitable for business.
"Oh, the relationship is broken, no wonder Love Who Who."
"Hey, Nan Batian is advanced enough, there is such a thing as loving someone."
"Little ghost, it's not bad, and you can understand a little English."
"Nonsense, last time the Ministry of Foreign Affairs wanted my buddy to be an interpreter, but I didn't like it. Who is my buddy? Is he the one who serves people? My buddy likes to run a restaurant and serve the people."
"Just keep working in vain, how about making a pot at night?" Nan Yi asked.
"Whatever, you look at the arrangement."
"Okay, then you guys keep playing, I'm going to order mutton." Nanyi stood up from the sofa, walked to the hanger, and put on a yellow leather coat.
"Be more on the whole, I gain at least twenty catties at a time."
"I'll bring you back with two jobs. If you can't finish it, I'll stuff it in for you."
"Go buy it and see if I can finish it."
It is not easy to buy mutton in the non-staple food store. The supply of mutton is not open to the public. In addition, it has to be eaten by the Muslims. If Nanyi wants to buy mutton, he must go to the outskirts of the city to find it, but it is already too late , he can only go to Donglaishun to buy expensive ones.
Nanyi bought a large piece of uncut frozen mutton in Donglaishun, and bought some offal from an acquaintance in the non-staple food store. They are acquaintances. These days, if you want to eat something good, you have to call the salesperson of the non-staple food store. It's easy to make friends with, otherwise, you have no money to buy it.
When he returned to the old bungalow, the grandson Wang Yan saw such a big lump of mutton, and burst into laughter instantly, "I said Nan Batian, you are too honest, I said twenty catties, you really came back with so much ah."
"Wait, I've planed all the mutton. If you can't finish it, I'll kill you. This mutton costs dozens of yuan."
"Don't look around, just wait, I'll go to the hut first, see if I can finish eating. Where is your hut?"
"Dongyi is upstairs, turn left at the corner of the stairs."
"Fuck, what a fool, don't you pretend to be an educated person?" Wang Suo complained, and walked up the stairs.
After Wang Yan left, Ma Modu asked Nanyi, "Nanyi, are those vases from the Ming Dynasty?"
"Yes, the official kiln in the Yongle period." Nan Yi took a look at the two vases, and remembered that these two vases were given to Men San'er by Li Xiangrong, and Men San'er forwarded them to him.
"Can you get started?"
"Look at whatever you want, and I'll get you something to eat."
After Nanyi finished speaking, he got into the kitchen and made the bottom of the hot pot with a bang.
The capital here is basically a plain base, that is, put a little seasoning, boil the white water and rinse it off. The taste depends entirely on the dipping sauce. Nanyi makes it at home, and he will make some pork ribs and chicken to make the soup base, so the taste is more fresher.
Just get a pot, and it won't take long. Nanyi will make the soup base in a while, then clean the copper hot pot, and put it on the charcoal rack on the dining table.
Finding a plane, slapping, slapping, and digging out several large pots of mutton rolls at once, and putting them on the table, Nanyi asked the three of them to eat first.
"Nan Batian, it's not very good, the hostess hasn't come back yet."
"Come on, you are not such a well-mannered person, don't worry about it, let's eat first."
After Erguotou and beer were put on the table in handfuls, Wang Suo was not polite, and he greeted the other two buddies to start eating, leaving Nanyi busy preparing the boiled vegetables.
"Fuck, I haven't noticed yet, this Erguotou is not simple." After eating a few slices of mutton, Wang Yan picked up the Erguotou on the table and took a look in his hand. This Erguotou is not ordinary, "Old Ma, look at it Look, it's from the Ming Tombs brand."
Ma Mo took a look, and really said, "Is this the first batch from 1973?"
"It should be that besides Red Star and Niulan Mountain, Erguotou is the most authentic Ming Tombs, especially the first and second batches are fine brews." Wang Yan said, and then shouted to the kitchen: "Nan Batian, where did you get this wine?"
Nanyi came out of the kitchen with two pots of vegetables in his hands, put them on the table, then sat on the seat, wiped his hands on the apron, took the wine bottle and poured himself wine before saying:
"This wine is nothing unusual. When it was first released, no one wanted it. Everyone recognized Red Star and Niulanshan. The winery had a lot of pressure in the warehouse, and it was given away everywhere in those years.
Didn't I buy a yard, this wine was dug out from the yard, there were about thirty bottles, I opened a bottle and it tasted very authentic, so I kept it. "
"This wine is not bad, buddy will take two bottles away in a while."
"You probably won't be able to walk around. After you finish eating the mutton, you should also be carried away. Will the weight come over?"
"Come, but it will be later, this is the time for customers in the store."
"Come on, let's have a drink first." Nanyi raised his glass, touched all three of them, stuffed the glass into his mouth, took a sip, and drank most of it.
"Xiao Mo, what film have you been shooting recently?"
"I haven't acted for a long time. After I filmed "Golden Deer" in 1981, I haven't filmed a movie. Recently, I helped the crew. "Under the Flyover", a film from Shanghai Film Studio, starring Gong Xue and Zhang Runtong. "Shi Xiaomin said.
"Huh? Where does your work relationship fall, can you still work on the Shanghai Film Studio's film?"
"Beijing Studio, Mr. Xie Xie is my teacher." Shi Xiaofeng said lightly, hiding his pretentious air very well.
"Oh, that's it."
These days, except for a few big-name celebrities, they can generally only shoot films in their own studios, and there is no such thing as acting everywhere.
In particular, Shi Xiaoming was talking about helping the film crew with behind-the-scenes work. Every studio has a lot of people like this, and their own factory is underemployed, so there is no need to find foreign aid.
It's not a big deal for Shi Xiaoming to find a job in the film crew of Shanghai Film Studio, but he is Xie Xi's disciple, so there is no problem.
Xie He is an old man in the film industry. Anyone in this industry should give him three points.
"Isn't Gong Xue really beautiful?"
"Of course she is beautiful. I have never seen anyone more beautiful than her in China."
"Really?" Nan Yi was thoughtful, "Better than my own Sophie?"
"I've seen all the domestic Huadans. In comparison, Gong Xue is the best-looking. If you have seen real people, you will know that her face shape is not very good. It is not suitable for the big screen. She is not real in the film. So pretty."
"Oh, I heard that the filming of the four major novels is about to start?" Nan Yi asked casually after taking a bite of the mutton.
"No, I only know that the filming of "Journey to the West" has already started, and "Dream of Red Mansions" is still in preparation. There is an actor interview site in the Overseas Chinese Building, and the momentum is very big."
"Then if you haven't tried it, you can't play Jia Baoyu, but you can still play his father."
"Forget it, there is no suitable role for me at all. I am quite good as a side job in the crew. The salary is about the same, and there are not so many things. Those of them who lead the role only have a few extra bonuses. They are exhausted. It's boring."
Actors at this time were all paid, and how much money they could get each month depended on the salary level, as much as they should be, that is, when there was a filming, there were more subsidies and bonuses.
So at this time, the atmosphere of competing for the leading role is not serious. Anyway, regardless of playing the main and supporting roles, they are all paid.
Nan Yi chatted with the three of them one after another, chatting about restaurants with Wang Suo, antiques with Ma Mo, and movies with Shi Xiaoming, no one left in the cold anyway.
It wasn't until 7:30 that Liu Zhen came back from overtime work.
As soon as she walked into the living room, she frowned when she saw the smoky atmosphere in the room.
"Come back, have you eaten?"
When Nanyi saw Liu Zhen, he stood up and greeted him.
"I was at the work unit, why didn't you notify me when you came back today?" Liu Zhen took off the outer coat, shook it off twice, and handed it to Nan Yi who was already waiting to pick it up.
"Called to your office, but no one answered."
"Oh, let's go to a meeting."
"Go up and wash your face first, and eat some together."
"Um."
Liu Zhen nodded, exchanged greetings with a few people, and then went upstairs.
"Rogue Wang, pinch the cigarette to dissipate the smell. Liu Zhen is uncomfortable and can't smell the smoke."
"What's wrong?"
Wang Yan threw the cigarette butt on the ground and twisted it with his heel.
"I'm pregnant."
Nanyi didn't know whether Liu Zhen was pregnant or not, but he still said so, saying that other reasons seemed hypocritical, and this reason was appropriate.
"Then quickly find two books and let's fan the smoke."
"Farewell, you stand for a while, I'll take an electric fan to blow."
As Nanyi said, he went to a room to find an electric fan, plugged it in and blew it on the dining table.
When the smoke was almost gone, Nan Yi also lit agarwood.
If you want to take care of Liu Zhen, you can't serve alcohol and tobacco together. After this meal, it won't taste too much. If you don't fill your stomach, everyone will leave.
Nanyi sent people out of the hospital gate, and handed each of them two bundles of wine, "I'm sorry, I didn't let everyone have a good time. Another day, let's change the place, and we will definitely let everyone have a good drink."
"Okay, we understand, today's situation is special. Let's go to my place tomorrow, buddy calls some honey, let's drink some, and then do a stick [face dance]." Wang Yan said, thumping Nanyi's chest .
"Fuck you, the wind is blowing. If you want to hit the muzzle of the gun, you will hit it yourself. Don't take me with you."
"Hahaha, let's go, I've gained a lot today, and I'll take some if I'm full."
