China Entertainment 1981: Starting from Journey to the West

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're really good at it."

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 torrent of the times, century-old restaurants like Xiaochang Chen were all turned into four olds.

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

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

Gu Bei ordered food and took 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 pays attention to Beiyue now, he feels that his temper is as proficient in antiques as his own, and at the same time, his temperament and temperament are 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 tapped them gently, 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 bug, and I don't have your skills."

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

However, see through but not say through.

Ma Weidu said he was new to 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 point it out.

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 someone who knew the art, 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 craft..."

"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 to it, 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, soybean curd, and coriander added. The whole room was filled with people snoring and chewing, 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 [-] cents. If it's not enough, you can add soup.

I don’t know since when, braised food suddenly became high-end, and the price has soared.

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

The two of them had a meal, exchanged addresses, and went out to separate.

ride home.

"What's going on here?"

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

Ha ha!

"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. But just after seeing them for a while, Aunt Wang's niece started to chase them away.

"Brother, you didn't hear it. 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 give her something. After buying meat buns, I finally managed to coax this girl.

"Don't listen to her complaint. Your Aunt Wang came here specially just now. What's it worth for a child to quarrel?"

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, stop crying."

As Gu Bei spoke, he took a towel and rubbed it twice on Gu Nan's face, making 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?"

Uh……

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

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

After all, he 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.

"You can buy whatever you want. A [-]-inch model 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 90 yuan. Add in the wages of Li Sufen and Gu Bei, and their family will definitely enter the courtyard three times. 20 The living conditions in the multi-family homes 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 goes to college, and it all costs money. If you don't save more money now, will you be blinded later?"

Ok!

"Mom! You really think long term!"

Gu Bei was speechless when he heard this.

"But why do we go to work to make money? According to you, when 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. Do you have to save a dowry for her? In the future, you will need to save money to raise a child, and you will need to save money to study. When your child grows up, you will need to get married, and you will need to save money. How long will it take to save this money? "

Good guy's!

Li Sufen felt dizzy as she listened. Did Gu Bei tell 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?"

Li Sufen had already been bypassed by Gu Bei.

"Improve the quality of life and enjoy life!"

Li Sufen was speechless. Although what Gu Bei said sounded like nonsense, after careful consideration, it turned out to be true.

"If you ask me, Xiaobei is right."

At this time, Gu Xiaowu also said that it was a good thing to marry a daughter-in-law who was diligent and thrifty, but he would not be happy if he was too diligent and frugal and suffered the consequences!
"Where are you from?"

Li Sufen expressed great dissatisfaction with Gu Xiaowu's backstabbing.

Gu Xiaowu smiled and said: "My child is right. Whoever is right, I will be on the same side."

"Okay, I can't tell you two, just buy it if you want. If Lao Wang's family can buy it, what's wrong with our family."

Gu Bei laughed secretly when he heard this. Just now he said it was fine, but now he couldn't help but compare himself to the Wang family.

Li Sufen had to take care of the relationship between neighbors, but she was a mother after all. She could not feel uncomfortable seeing her little girl being wronged and running home crying.

Snapped!
The final decision was made. Next Sunday, the Gu family would also buy a TV set. And if they wanted to buy it, they would buy a big one. It must be over twelve inches.

This strong desire to win.

But after settling on it, Li Sufen couldn't help but feel the pain in her body. A twelve-inch one would cost [-] to [-] yuan, and a bigger one would cost a lifetime at least.

Gu Bei saw that the queen mother could not worry about this. There was twenty thousand in the leather bag beside the door.

It's just that this money can't be taken out yet.

We have to find a way to live a clear life.

"Mom! Don't worry, Nannan, regardless of whether it's the tuition for college or the dowry for her future marriage, I, the elder brother, will pay for it all."

The little girl is only thirteen, and there are still a few years left before she goes to college. As for getting married in the future, that is even further away. If by that time, Gu Bei cannot prepare a generous dowry for his sister, he, the chosen one, will be Don't be fooled.

"I know how to talk."

Seeing Li Sufen smile, Gu Bei felt relieved. He chatted with his family for a while, took his bag and prepared to go back to the house.

"Hey, Xiaobei, how were you and that girl today?"

girl?

Where is the girl from?
Gu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses: "Oh my god, please don't worry about my affairs, okay? I'm going out to do some errands. Director Yang told me how to get involved with having a partner." ”

"I don't worry? I'm your mother. I can't worry about it. You'll be twenty during the Chinese New Year, so you won't think about it yourself."

Gu Bei didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You also know that I am only 20 after the Chinese New Year. Listening to your tone, I thought I was 80."

Seeing that Li Sufen was getting anxious again, Gu Bei hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will bring you a daughter-in-law sooner or later. Is one daughter-in-law enough? If not, I will marry a few more."

"Fuck off!"

Seeing Gu Bei trying to be talkative again, Li Sufen laughed and cursed.

"Order!"

Gu Bei shouted, spread out his hands, turned around and ran away with the steps on the Peking Opera stage.

After entering the house, he put the money away first, then opened the door to the backyard.

Once you have the first pot of gold, you have to find a way to make money from it.
