Chapter 363
Several people chattered for a while, and spoke incoherently for a while, a woman came over, whispered something to Wang Yan, and then left with a sassy shake of her head.
"Rogue, is this the girl you spoiled?"
"Don't talk nonsense, this is the honey my buddy made before, but now it's gone."
"The last time I saw you was not carrying this, why did you change it so quickly?"
"Who told my buddy to be a writer? Girls like me like this. Recently, I have changed four or five honeys. It was okay to chat at first, but after a long time I got bored and started talking about marriage. It's tacky. "
"Heh, take it easy, in your situation, if anyone who doesn't have sex with you goes to the police station to sue you, you will be sentenced to three years and it will be a light sentence."
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm in a normal relationship. If we don't get along, we will separate. Isn't that a normal thing?" Wang Suo said, feeling a little guilty himself.
Not long ago, I just killed a beautiful girl because I had a few more boyfriends and slept with a few more men.
But it's damned, what year was it last year, dared to swim naked in the river in broad daylight, and didn't let Nan Yi hold a critical eye, how decent is this?
If Nanyi had seen her, he would definitely write a poster with millions of characters to criticize her.
Nan Yi suddenly thought that "Mosaic" will definitely be well-known in the future, should we register this brand and specialize in the production of toys for emotional venting.
When consumers buy toys back, they can close the door and beat and scold, 'I will let you mosaic, I will let you mosaic. '
Beating and scolding must be fast, and the sales will naturally be fast, which seems to be a good idea. "
Make a silent note of this idea.
Nanyi thought that he could give this idea to others as a favor in the future.
Several people chatted in the yard until 10:30, when a cold wind blew up in the sky, and everyone felt that they couldn't sit still, so they yelled to go to boil the lamb earlier.
On such a day, if you want to cook mutton, you can only go to Donglaishun. If you want to find a private restaurant, you can’t find anywhere. You are busy all year round. Of course, you have to rest for a few more days in the first month. Duanjinlou and Pearl Banquet have to rest until the eighth day of the lunar new year. The door just opened, so the state-run hotel had to open on time after the holiday.
"Hey, brothers, I encountered something strange a while ago." Ma Modu suddenly said while cooking the mutton and drinking wine.
"What's new?" Ye Qian asked curiously.
Nanyi helped Nan Ruofing cook the mutton, so that her chopsticks would not come and go between the stinky chopsticks, and put a few pieces of meat into Nan Ruofing's bowl. Say something new.
Ma Mo saw that everyone's attention was on him, so he said complacently: "In the past two years, I don't know where to get my grandson, Bel is rich, and he is full of forty-nine cities to buy antiques.
As far as the state-run antique stores are concerned, they load trucks out one by one, Panjiayuan and Liulichang are not spared, and they also took away a lot of good things from the ghost market.
Later, this group of people may have collected enough and there was no movement, but since years ago, some people have been collecting things everywhere, and there has been a lot of movement. "
"Isn't it just shopping for antiques? What's so rare about it? There are not many people shopping for this stuff in Sijiu City? Japanese devils, people from Xiangxi, old Americans, Europeans, your grandson, I don't know who is standing behind What?" Ye Daying said nonchalantly.
"It's interesting here, this guy, it's really not what you said.
The people you mentioned, just buy a few items and you’re done. But the two groups of people I’m talking about are different. The group in front of them, their movements are hidden. I didn’t pay much attention at that time, and I didn’t know it too well.
But now this gang, I have been paying attention to them for three months. The row of noodles is simply insane. They don’t ask the price. As long as it is an old thing, they don’t take the money. Several times.
Once, a snuff bottle from the Yongzheng period, good guy, the devils sold out to six hundred, and the other side directly called one thousand, and back and forth, they were called more than three thousand, and the devils just left in anger. " Ma Mo talked eloquently.
"Hey, there are still people who are taken advantage of. I still have some old things in my house. If they want them, I'll give them to them." Ye Daying laughed.
As soon as Nan Yi heard Ma Modu's words, he felt that both "partners" and "early birds" had appeared, and he had to ask people to walk around to find out who the gods were.
It's not surprising that some people would pay attention to antiques. "Antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times" have been passed down for hundreds of years. When Li Zicheng entered the capital, the wealthy people in the capital already knew how to do it.
How the current situation is, you only need to see what the rich and noble people are desperately moving to their homes. Let’s say that in this period of the Republic of China, who doesn’t hoard gold in their homes, just in case the guns go off one day, they can hold a small box Are you going to run away?
Regarding the topic of antiques, Nan Yi didn't participate, but just listened with his ears upright. He was still picking up the Tang Garlic Crisp in his hand, and peeled off two layers of garlic outside before putting it in Nan Ruofing's bowl.
When it was almost cooked, Nanyi picked it from the vegetable bowl and ate it like honey. The others only cared about mutton. No one touched the cooked dishes that Nanyi ordered. Nanyi quickly ate a few mouthfuls while it was still hot.
"To tell you the truth, I've been collecting antiques since the 1980s. Nowadays, antiques are cheap. You can buy a decent bowl for three yuan.
Last time I saw an ice porcelain wine bowl from the late Song Dynasty, and I bought it for five yuan. When I write a novel, the manuscript fee can be tens of dollars, and I can buy a lot of bowls at a time.
I have also received many good items, one is called 'Hundred Flowers Not Revealing the Big Vase', which was made during the Qianlong period.
Let me tell you, I bought this big blue and white pot from a stall. After I got acquainted with the buddies at the stall, they were willing to take me to the residents' homes to pick it up.
You may not know the way to go inside, some things are too expensive, and the stalls can't afford them, and they are afraid of taking risks, so they led me there. There used to be a very good rule in the antique business, which was called three breaks two.
It is said that the middleman gets 5%, "success" means that the seller's transaction is completed, and "break" means that the buyer spends money, so that they can bring me there, and they can get some benefits without taking risks..."
Looking at Ma Modu's appearance, he is happy to share a little story about the antique business with you, but it can be seen that not many people sitting here are willing to listen to his work in vain.
As he said in depth, he didn't bother to deal with a few superficial skills, so he just ate there.
Ma Mo was not even annoyed, he caught Nanyi and Ye Daying who were still willing to listen and continued, for the convenience of speaking, he also changed seats with others and sat next to Nanyi.
"Let me tell you, there are a lot of particularities in this antique business. Once, a kid took me shopping, and the kid was waiting outside the door after entering the house.
The owner pointed to a bunch of things, including bottles, clocks, bowls, etc., and asked me to do 360.
I read it carefully and thought the price was good, so I told him I wanted it, but the owner suddenly regretted not selling it.
After going out, the little ghost asked me if I bought it, and I said I wanted to buy it and not sell it. You said that I can't break up with him even if I am a cultural person, so I had to leave.
He asked me which of the things in it was worthless, and I said there was a broken bowl in it that wasn't worth a penny, and he said yes, come in with me.
Then the little ghost came in and said, ‘How can we not sell it? '
The owner said he just didn't want to sell it.
Taking advantage of the owner's inattention, he picked up the bowl in front of me and dropped it, which shocked me.
I think it was deliberately dropped.
The little devil said: 'Oh, I accidentally broke one of them for you, what should I do? It's definitely impossible to pay for it, so let's buy it at the original price of 360 yuan. '
He smashed one of the most worthless ones, and said that if he wanted to pay for it, he would take away the pile with 360 yuan, which made the owner very sad, and I was also very embarrassed.
This kind of person is very experienced and often visits households to collect this kind of second-hand goods.
In the end, the owner and his family murmured for a long time, and decided to sell me for 360 yuan. After leaving the house, I asked the kid, ‘If this family insists on selling it? '
The kid said, 'If they don't sell it, I'll drop another one and see if they sell it. '
Tsk tsk, I really couldn't think of such a method that only a ruffian would use.
Let me tell you, this kind of person is called 'drinking the street', who specializes in walking around the streets and is very experienced.
I'm trapped by them now, and now people who drink street often go to the publishing house to find me and ask me to go drink street with them in Tong County. I am also a cultural person, I have a thin skin, and I am embarrassed to go to the street with them to collect junk.
But I know that there are a lot of antiques in Tongxian County, because in the past Tongxian County was the destination of freight transport in the capital. A lot of huanghuali furniture was made in Suzhou and transported to Tongzhou through the canal. This place became a distribution center for furniture. Save it. "
Perhaps because he felt that it was rare to have an audience who listened to his work in vain, Ma Mo talked more and more vigorously, drank a sip of wine to moisten his throat, and continued: "Let me tell you, drinking the street can also drink treasures. Once, a few farmers If you drink a pot from the Yongle period, it costs a few dollars to drink, and it can turn into thousands of dollars..."
Balabala, Ma Mo was eloquent.
Nan Yi also came back to think about it. It is estimated that there are not many people around Ma Modu who are interested in antiques. He also likes to show off his achievements in antiques. Now, Nan Yi and Ye Daying are caught. He was happy, and threw out all the anger he could show off.
"After staying in this business for a long time, I know a lot of people. I often go to state-owned antique stores. I heard people in them say that those who collected antiques by carts in those days were definitely experts in the connoisseurs. They picked Everything you walk is fine.
If the price of this antique rises in the future, it must be those who rise first, either out of print, or high-quality goods among good objects, tsk tsk, I don’t know who is behind the poking, this vision is really amazing. "
Nan Yi thought to himself: "Go on, don't stop, keep on boasting, the man behind the scenes is sitting in front of your door, I can hear good words."
"Old Ma, go and see what you have collected in another day, and let me open my eyes."
"Okay, you can go anytime, I will definitely introduce you to my collection." Ma Modu said happily.
"Old Ma, if you are interested, come to my house some other day, and whichever one you fancy, you can take it."
"Forget it, the items in your place are definitely not bad, I'm so embarrassed." Ma Mo said with scruples.
Ye Daying said dissatisfiedly: "Who do you look down on? Those things are at my place. I just throw them away. I don't know what's so good about them. Let's just say, I'll go to my place sometime."
Talking, talking, Ma Mo made an appointment to dig out the old house. Ye Daying said that he was not free and would be very busy recently. Looking at Ma Mo's eagerly expecting eyes, Nan Yi agreed and said that he would go someday call him.
When the dinner party is over, those who go back to the courtyard will go back, and those who should do so will do so.
Nanyi belonged to Yingshan. At the dinner table just now, Nan Ruofing quietly told him that he wanted to go skating in Shishahai.
After calculation, the temperature in winter this year is not bad. The ice layer in Shishahai should be more than 25 centimeters thick, and the skating rink must be open.
Take Nan Ruofing to the edge of Shishahai Sports School. There is a proposed one-story house on the bank next to the school. The bank at this time is relatively narrow, not as wide as later generations.
This is where clothes are stored and skates are sharpened in winter. Nanyi doesn't know how to skate, whether it's real ice or roller skating, but the original Nanyi Club, although it can't be said to be a romantic figure in the skating rink, can also skate very slippery.
"Dad hasn't brought you here before. Let me tell you, Shishahai in summer is just an outdoor swimming pool. It costs two cents for a swim. Well, it may be a little more expensive now, and Dad hasn't been here for several years.
Six or seven years ago, my father came here almost every day in the summer, riding a bicycle across half of the capital, just to take a dip here, but after riding the bicycle back, he was sweating again. "
"Is skating in winter?"
"That's right, winter is all about skating. The capital is not the only place where skating is possible. The Summer Palace, Taoranting Pavilion, and Beihai Park are all available for skating. Those who can come here to skate are all skating enthusiasts, and their level is relatively high. Dad's level is not bad, I will take you with me later."
"Dad, no, I can skate. I often play in school."
"You are roller skating, which is different from this one. You have to get used to the friction of the ice surface first."
As Nanyi said, she put on two pairs of newly bought skates for Nan Ruofing, which cost seventy-two yuan, and took off the scarf around her neck, and tied it to the little girl's knees together with the one she wore. And carefully tied a bow.
After talking to her about the essentials, he took off his coat and stored it in the storage room, before Nan Yi dragged her to the ice rink.
In the southeast corner of the ice rink stands a large wooden frame on which there are hundreds of searchlights to illuminate the ice rink, and in the northwest corner there is a pole with one on it.
At this time, Shichahai is surrounded by residential areas, the lights are dim and quiet, except for the ice rink, which is brightly lit at night, like a big stage.
It is said that Shi Shahai has a certain level of talent who chooses to come here. This is not wrong at all. On the ice rink, you can see a dozen or so people wearing bright red speed skating suits and speed skating shoes.
At this time, it would be great for someone on the street to be able to wear a sports autumn jacket, let alone a red speed skating jacket. These ten or so people are simply a scene, attracting the attention of other skaters.
This group of people is in the middle, playing all kinds of tricks, speed skating, ball knife, forward skating to back skating, back skating to forward skating, forward and backward, kicking drunken immortals on the ice, In a small area, play a variety of tricks.
This group of people are the so-called ice ruffians. This ruffian is not a bad word used here, it means that they play cards unreasonably and play fresh.
Taking a few glances at those ice hooligans, Nan Yi pulled Nan Ruofing to the ice rink, supported her hand and slid slowly for a while, after she got used to the friction of the ice surface and knew how to control the balance , Nanyi let her go and stood on the side watching her skate.
Nan Ruofing is good at skating, it seems that she has played a lot of roller skating in school.
"Just slide on the side, don't go in the middle, go to a place with few people, don't let people hit you."
"I see, Dad, you can play by yourself."
"Um."
Nan Yi just lingered on the edge of the ice rink, but didn't go into the ice rink, listening to "Wine and Coffee" on the radio, his eyes were fixed on Nan Ruofing.
Crash, a burst of white drifted past Nanyi, and in an instant, it drifted away, the curve brushed past, and some ice was thrown onto Nanyi's pants.
It was a woman at first glance, and the swing stick that had already been drawn to Nanyi's wrist was hit by him again, and it returned to the position of its elbow and stayed there.
In Nanyi's memory, before Nanyi came here to skate ten times, at least twelve or three times, he had to guard against it.
Wow, another piece of red floated by, and he was rewarded with a few pieces of crushed ice.
"Yes, I can't afford to offend you."
Nanyi muttered, moved to the side, and stopped slipping, just stood there.
People on the ice rink were skating and started playing Solitaire, first three or five, and then gradually became twenty or thirty, seven or eighty, and Nan Ruofing was also coerced into it.
Fortunately, there are women in the front and back of her, and the one in the back looks familiar.
After identifying it for a while, Nan Yi finally recognized that this is Su Xiaohuang who sang "Night of the Military Port". He is considered a well-known singer now, and will also belong to the category of old artists in the future.
But at that time, young people basically didn't know that she was a singer. They would only think that she was some old actress who specialized in roles such as abandoned wives, not-so-talkative men, women, and mothers.
When Nan Ruofing was tired from skating, Nan Yi took her to change the shoes first, hang the skates around his neck, and went to the shore to buy a cup of hot milk to drink.
"Father, there is something wrong with the skate on my left foot. The point of force is wrong, and there is a deviation." Drinking milk, Nan Ruofing picked up the skate on her left foot and said.
Nanyi took the skates over and looked at them. He compared his left and right feet. The skates were indeed not symmetrical. The skates on his left foot were a little bit to the right, and they were also thicker.
"It's okay. There's Wang Baoshun, the king of ice skates. He is a master at sharpening ice skates. Let's find him to sharpen them."
...
Nan Yi stayed in the capital for five days, and then hurriedly flew to Los Angeles with Nan Ruoying. Not long after returning to 5103 Beverly Hills, John Hughes came to the door.
"Mr. Nan, take a look. This is a script I just wrote. It belongs to the type of family carnival and is suitable for the whole family to watch together." As soon as John Hughes sat down, he took out the script and handed it to Nanyi.
Nanyi took the script and looked at the black English script title on the cover, "Home Alone", the most appropriate translation should be "Home Alone", or more artistically, it can be translated as "Stay Alone in an Empty Room".
However, according to John Hughes, it should probably be translated as being at home alone is more appropriate.
"The Mai family is a big family with many members, and 8-year-old Kevin is the youngest member of this big family. His mischievous personality often brings all kinds of troubles to the family, and he is unanimously rejected by his family.
One night just before Christmas, Kevin and his brother got into an argument and made a mess of the house.
Kevin was punished by his mother. He was wronged and made a wish to make his family disappear. Unexpectedly, the next day, the family went to Far country to celebrate Christmas. They made a mistake and forgot naughty Kevin at home..."
Seeing this, Nanyi knew what the script was about. It was clearly "Home Alone", a treasure to be picked up.
"John, can I call you John?"
"Of course, Mr. Nan."
"You can also call me Adam, John, I read the beginning, and your script is good, so give me a day, I will read the script carefully, and then I will go to the red sofa to listen to the opinions of the distribution department.
Come back the day after tomorrow, let's discuss and see where the script needs to be revised. "
John Hughes said excitedly: "Adam, will my script be adopted?"
"I can only say that it should be. After all, I haven't read the script yet, and I don't know what the opinion of the red sofa is."
"OK, OK, then I'll leave first and wait for your news."
"uh-huh."
Nan Yi watched John Hughes leave and couldn't help cheering as soon as he walked to the gate.
"You should be happy, lucky one, you have already entered the million club." Nan Yi said secretly: ""Home Alone", I remember that the box office of this film seems to be very good."
Nan Yi continued to flip through the script, some of the content was similar to what he remembered, and some had no impression.
It's not surprising that I don't have an impression, the script probably has discrepancies, and the movie that Nanyi watched was almost forty years ago, I remember watching it in the Chia Tai Theater sponsored by the Xie Group.
