Chapter 334: The Wind Does Not Move the Flag

"Can you cook?"

Sitting in Lagabu and returning to the Fang Mansion, Nan Yi went straight into the kitchen.

"meeting."

"Then help choose the dishes."

Nan Yi took the hairy crabs out of the basket and put the basket beside Gong Xue.

Someone said that hairy crabs in this era are very cheap. Nan Yi forgot where he heard or saw it, but he wanted to say: "It's cheap! Four yuan and two catties, is it cheap?"

Hairy crabs are high-end items in any era, and they have never been sold cheaply in the vegetable market.

Sixteen hairy crabs, with an average of five taels per one, cost Nanyi 32.5 yuan, which also aroused the curiosity of the salesperson. Nanyi could only run the train with his mouth full, and prevaricated with a reason of "going to the factory leader's house to learn progressive ideas" .

Opened two bottles of Qibao Daqu, poured them into a glass bowl, threw the hairy crabs in, covered the mouth of the bowl with a lid, and let them drink to their fullness first.

"Boss, the meter reader is here." The school belle came over and said to Nan Yi at this time.

"Receive me and add some hot tea to his water cup."

"OK."

Xiaohua walked out of the kitchen, came back after a while, and handed Nanyi an electricity bill receipt.

Nan Yi took it and saw that the number on the electricity bill was actually 51.6. The electricity in Shanghai was 20.4 cents/kWh, a total of 215 kWh. It is estimated that after Xianghe bought a house, this was the first time Xianghe came to read the electricity meter.

Putting away the list, Nan Yi said to the school belle: "Let the tiger cubs go to Jing'an Temple and buy some sugar and oil tickets from the piling mold at the entrance there, and buy them back on the way."

"good."

On the first day I bought oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, I only bought two catties of oil. Who told Nanyi to buy only two catties of oil tickets at the entrance of the non-staple food store.

Nanyi's cooking must be full of oil and water, and the oil is consumed quickly. After one meal, the next meal will probably be out of oil.

Gong Xue was choosing dishes there, but her eyes were looking around, the more she looked, the more restless she felt.

A few days ago, six people in her family were paid wages, and the wages were not low, and the housing was relatively good, but the seven members of her family still had to cram in a house of less than 40 square meters.

The house in front of me has more than 60 square meters just for the kitchen. Even if I accidentally fall over and do somersaults, I can't touch the wall. If only I had a house of 60 square meters.

But now, not only can she not think about the big house, she also has to worry about the survival of the family. Except for herself, all the family members have been laid off.

"Will you really help me?"

"You have asked this question for the second time, and I will answer you now, yes, I will definitely help you, and because of some of your actions, I have to help you. However, once you accept my help, then you She is my woman..."

Nanyi felt that this was ambiguous, so he explained: "Well, you are not a woman in the common sense, but in front of certain people, you are my woman and represent my interests.

You also need to move here temporarily, don't worry, you have a room for each person.

When you were my woman, it was impossible for you to have affairs with other men, let alone talk about boyfriends and girlfriends. You were obliged to maintain the personality setting of 'you are my woman'.

Of course, in principle, you are actually a free agent, you can do whatever you want, and I have no right or obligation to control you, as long as you do not violate the previous rule.

By the way, you won't be charged for the rent. Except for today's meal, if you want to eat with me, you have to pay for the meal. It is best if you can do it yourself, you can use everything in the kitchen for free, and you have to share part of the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, gas, water and electricity. "

"I... I'll move here, and I'll be your woman?"

"You don't need me to explain it again? You have to digest it carefully, anyway, you have to accept it. If you don't accept it, if Chen Meng doesn't deal with you, I have to deal with you too. If I do, it's not as simple as being laid off.

Don't even try to hold grudges against me, I'm the most innocent one, and I had nothing to do with me, but because of your self-righteousness and misfortune, you dragged me into the quagmire too.

Thank you very much to your parents for giving birth to you so beautifully, it made me feel sorry for you, otherwise, I would kill you.

By the way, be careful when going in and out in the future, I don't want my name to appear in magazines and newspapers. "

After Nanyi finished speaking, he picked up the sloppy greens from the table, moved them to the edge of the sink to wash them, then chopped them up on the chopping board with a kitchen knife and put them in an enamel basin for later use; then cut the winter bamboo shoots and dried fragrant into cubes spare.

Turn on the fire, sit on the pot, wait for the pot to heat up, scoop two tablespoons of oil into it, first stir-fry the winter bamboo shoots, then add the dried fragrant, continue to stir-fry, then add the soup greens and stir-fry, stir-fry until six mature, then add seasoning pot.

Tomorrow morning, I will eat glutinous rice balls. This is the stuffing that I prepared first. After dinner, I will wrap the glutinous rice balls and cook them when I wake up tomorrow.

"I don't have a choice?"

Nan Yi's words had a great impact on Gong Xue, and she was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses.

"Yes, go to Chen Meng right now. I support you in doing this, so that you and I can save a lot of trouble. If you choose to do this, I can sponsor you two thousand yuan in friendship."

"I……"

Gong Xue was disgusted by Nanyi's "two thousand dollars", "I, Gong Xue, a movie star everyone loves, but this man despises me so much? No, the more you don't want it, the more I want it."

Gong Xue's rebellious psychology suddenly appeared, "Okay, I agree to your conditions, I will move in tomorrow, my house..."

"Your family has a good rest for a few days. Your parents have worked all their lives. Take a few days of paid leave before going to work. Everything will be the same. Now, hurry up and choose your dishes, and see if you look good. But I'm sure you're not a good cook.

As far as your cooking skills are concerned, the performance is more useful than reality. You learned it specifically for making movies, right? "

"How do you know?" Gong Xue asked in surprise.

"Take off your arrogance as a performing artist, and you will understand when you fall to the ground and catch the air."

Nan Yi went through the dishes that Gong Xue had chosen, then put all the dishes aside, took out the inner pot of the rice cooker, washed the rice and put the rice on...

When the food was on the table, Nan Yi called Chen Dan first, and simply said: "Gong Xue is with me."

After Chen Dan hung up on Nanyi, he immediately made another call.

After this phone call was made, the originally lukewarm investigation of Chen Meng and the others began to change...

At this time, in Oxford, a suburb of London, in a small valley, a small stream flows through the valley, and then pours into a lake at the bottom of the valley.

On the right side of the valley, there is a row of houses by the lake, with a small manor in the center.

It is very strange that these houses are all civil structures, which look like arcades in Guangdong Province, and contain a strong Lingnan cultural atmosphere.

This group of Chinese-style houses is quite rare in Eagle Country!

This is where the Wu family is located, a Chinese family that has existed in Eagle Country for the longest time. It is also among the five big families in London and even the entire Eagle Country that can rank among the top three in terms of overall strength.

At this time, in a small courtyard in the innermost part of the Wu family compound, two old men sat facing each other at a stone table.

Snapped.

Wearing a luxurious Tang suit, the older man with silver hair all over his head jumped forward on his horse.

Snapped.

Another old man, who looked like a housekeeper, mounted the cannon in the center.

After a long time, after countless regrets, the old man in Tang suit still won the victory, but I don't know if this victory was due to his real chess strength.

"Master, are you still going?" the butler asked softly.

"No more, I'm too old to sit for a long time, let's go for a walk." The old man in Tang suit said with emotion.

As he spoke, he picked up the crutch with a dragon's head leaning on the stone table. The butler saw it and stepped forward to help him up.

With the help of the housekeeper, the old man in Tang suit walked around the yard a few times and looked at a ginkgo tree in the outer yard. Walking tremblingly, he gently stroked the dry and wrinkled bark with his chapped hands, and sighed: "It's old too, and it doesn't have many years to live."

The butler grew up with the old man in Tang suit and has been inseparable since he was a child. He naturally heard the deep meaning in the old man's words. His expression was also complicated, and he comforted: "Master, you will surely live a long life."

"Haha, Ah Da, there's no need to say such things. I vaguely remember that when I was a child, my grandfather lived in this courtyard, and you and I played under the ginkgo tree. I didn't expect time to pass so quickly, and you and I were also late in the blink of an eye. year."

As I get older, I like to reminisce about the past.

If a person starts to often recall his childhood and recall the beauty of the past, then there is no doubt that he already knows nostalgia, and he is slowly getting old.

"Master, reincarnation is a common thing. You have been worrying about your family for the rest of your life. It's time to rest." The butler Ah Da said softly.

Hearing about the family, the old man in Tang suit showed a helpless smile and sighed: "My father handed over the family to me, and I dare not relax for a day. I could have let go of this burden long ago, but, alas..."

Ah Da knew that his master Wu Jingyuan thought of the dead second young master Wu Fuxing again, his complexion became complicated, he remained silent, and felt the same in his heart.

Wu Fuxing is the second son of Wu Jingyuan. He was talented and intelligent since he was a child, and he was very interested in doing business. among the enterprises.

Wu Fuxing learned everything quickly, his thinking was unconstrained, and he was born with a big heart. He didn't panic when things happened, and he could take care of everything in an orderly manner. His ability surpassed that of the young master Wu Fuye by a large margin.

For the sake of the family's long-term governance, the head of the Wu family is always the most outstanding hero of the same generation. Of course, Wu Fuxing, who has outstanding abilities, has naturally won Wu Jingyuan's attention. Although he is not the eldest son, he has been established as the number one in the family early on. The heir, other houses also supported.

The eldest son Wu Fuye also saw the situation clearly, gave up competing with his younger brother Wu Fuxing, and worked hard to assist Wu Fuxing to strengthen the family.

Talent seems to be inherited. Wu Fuxing's son, Wu Zaisheng, is also not inferior to his father. He was very intelligent, smart and studious when he was young. Coupled with Wu Fuxing's precepts and deeds, Wu Zaisheng grew up very quickly, and he overwhelmed Wu Fuye's career. Two sons at one head.

The performance of Wu Fuxing and his son made Wu Jingyuan call out for successors to the Wu family.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. During a business trip, Wu Fuxing encountered a car accident and died together with his wife.

If Nanyi knew about this, he would put his suspicious eyes on Wu Fuye first.

When the bad news came back to Wu's family, Wu Jingyuan was so anxious that he stayed in bed for three days before getting up. This was because he had to force himself to take care of his son and daughter-in-law's funeral, which was the root cause of his illness.

Sending a white-haired man to a black-haired man was a huge blow to Wu Jingyuan. The dead Wu Fuxing was not just his son, he was also the heir of the Wu family, shouldering the heavy burden of revitalizing the Wu family. Now it is all in vain.

A rising star of hope fell like this, casting a shadow over the future of the Wu family.

Wu Fuxing's unfortunate death had more impact than this. His son Wu Zaisheng suffered the pain of losing his parents at a young age, his temperament changed drastically, he became silent, and he liked to be alone in a daze.

His cleverness and eagerness to learn also disappeared, and he sealed his own heart, so that others could no longer enter his heart.

As he grew older, Wu Zaisheng became more cheerful, but he became less enthusiastic about the family business, his temperament became indifferent, he blindly tolerated and retreated, and then went out to open an old building by himself, and seldom went home.

The first heir died, and the eldest son Wu Fuye reappeared in front of Wu Jingyuan. The other houses were not as good as Wu Fuye, and he became the best choice for the heir.

But in Wu Jingyuan's eyes, Wu Fuye's ability is not outstanding, he is more than conservative, but not aggressive enough. In this ever-changing era, Wu Jingyuan is not at all worried about handing over his family to Wu Fuye.

No way, he can only continue to take care of the family business himself, and at the same time consciously train Wu to resume his career.

Wu Fuye also realized that his spring had come, and he studied diligently, hoping to take over the scepter of the Patriarch as soon as possible.

Moreover, Wu Fuye also began to consciously raise his two sons, but for some reason, his eldest son was not as intelligent as his second son, so he valued his second son Wu Zhenkai more and ignored his eldest son Wu Zhenlin.

"Ada, is there any situation in the family?" Both of them were silent for a long time, and Wu Jingyuan looked up at the sky and asked calmly.

"My lord, everything else is fine, except that the second young master seems to have changed a little bit, and it's a change for the better. Recently, he was negotiating a business with Fang's Group in Xiangtang." Ah Da respectfully reported.

Hearing that it was related to Wu Zaisheng, his second grandson who was originally the most important to him, Wu Jingyuan's eyes were fixed, and anticipation could not help but emerge in his heart.

After Wu Fuxing's incident, it's not that he didn't have the idea of ​​skipping his son and directly raising his grandson, but he didn't dare to move for a while because of the lessons learned from the great Ming Zhu Baba's successor Zhu Yunqi.

Seeing that Wu Fuye has not grown to the level he hoped for now, and Wu Fuye's second son, Wu Zhenkai, has more than enough ability but not enough stamina, the idea of ​​passing Wu Zaisheng to the throne has arisen again.
