Gao Mingcheng is quite familiar with Guangzhou.
After arriving in Yangcheng, he first went to the destination to unload the goods, then sold the honey to Fan Chengyao, and then met with Fan Chengyao as usual. The two had a meal together and properly maintained their relationship.
During the meal, Fan Chengyao asked Fan Licheng whether he had contacted Gao Mingcheng recently.
Gao Mingcheng smiled and said, "Since Licheng started studying with his teacher, he has had little time to write to me. Before the Chinese New Year, I wrote him a letter about going to the capital to look at houses after the Chinese New Year. He wrote me a letter in reply, but he hasn't written to me since."
After hearing this, Fan Chengyao sighed.
He picked up the wine glass and toasted with Gao Mingcheng. After drinking it all in one gulp, he said with emotion: "Yes, the child has become very busy all of a sudden, and the knowledge he has learned is all things we don't understand."
After that, he said with a depressed look: "I am wondering whether I should hire a teacher and learn some knowledge from him. Otherwise, I will have nothing to talk about when we call each other in the future."
After hearing this, Gao Mingcheng suddenly became nervous. Is it going to be so competitive now?
Fan Chengyao was worried. He had opened several stores and also had to manage the factory here for Sai Yanfei. He was busy all day long. If it weren't for the good relationship between Gao Mingcheng and Fan Licheng, Fan Chengyao would not have had time to meet and have dinner with Gao Mingcheng.
It was fine before. Although Fan Licheng was smart, he was still an elementary school student after all. Even when they were chatting, the topic occasionally touched upon knowledge, and it would not go beyond the scope of what Fan Chengyao knew.
But ever since Fan Licheng started studying with university professors, Fan Chengyao first found it difficult to chat with his son and communicate with him, and then it became difficult to come up with suitable topics.
Gao Mingcheng imagined his son's future academic problems and said nervously, "Isn't this necessary?"
Fan Chengyao was originally hesitant, but now he nodded firmly, indicating that it was necessary.
"Licheng's mother has secretly hired a teacher to teach her! Oh, no, she has always been studying, but now she has added knowledge about domestic education."
"I thought about it and decided that I have to learn it too! It seems that I have to set aside an hour every day to study from now on!"
After Fan Chengyao finished speaking firmly, he ended with a sigh. He poured the wine, raised his glass, clinked glasses with Gao Mingcheng and drank it.
How to relieve worries? Only Du Kang!
After finishing the meal, Gao Mingcheng felt indigestion!
He thought of the chicken babies and chicken parents in future generations!
Sure enough, no matter what era, there is always a King of Rolls.
Should I follow the footsteps of the King of Volume 1, or live a life like ordinary civilians, with the necessities of life?
Gao Mingcheng weighed the pros and cons between the two options and finally ended up deciding on the grounds that Xiao Xuxu was still young.
The next day, he got rid of the invisible pressure brought to him by the King of Rolls and started to rush about for his life, loading and picking up goods, and then buying some magazines, books and toys that were only available in Guangzhou.
After everything was ready, we started our return journey in the afternoon.
After traveling all the way, we arrived at the county town on a rainy day.
After the rain, the road conditions were bad and Gao Mingcheng spent some more time on the road than usual. The rain fell from the sky, hitting the roof of the car and splashing on the windows.
In order to prevent rain from coming in and getting the goods wet, Gao Mingcheng had to close all the car windows.
After arriving at the county town, Gao Mingcheng first drove the truck to the door of the clothing store, intending to unload his own goods first, and then drive the truck back to the transportation company.
But in the short distance between the opening and closing of the car door, the bag containing the clothes got a little wet.
Gao Mingcheng unloaded the goods and private purchases in the rain, and then said to the many beauties: "Hurry up and clear out the goods!"
"Okay!" It was a rainy day and there were not many customers in the store, so Xuanyue, Gao Shufang and Zhang Jinling all got busy immediately.
There were three large bags of goods in total. After opening the outermost woven bag, there were all kinds of clothes inside, all of which were summer clothes.
New summer clothes must naturally be hung up for sale, but it is impossible to hang up all the same style of clothes. Some need to be piled up in a clean corner, and some need to be moved to the warehouse on the third floor.
With the three of them dividing the work and cooperating with each other, the job was done quickly and well. As for little Xuxu, he was not idle either. He was playing with the clothes, as if these things had become his new toys.
But soon, little Xuxu had a toy in his hand that Gao Mingcheng bought specially for him.
When Gao Mingcheng returned to the clothing store, the three large bags of clothes had been cleared out, and many beauties were ironing the clothes with severe creases.
"Dad." When Xiao Xuxu saw Gao Mingcheng, he immediately opened his arms and tried to let Gao Mingcheng hug him.
Gao Mingcheng bent down, held his ribs with both hands, lifted him up high, teased him for a while, and then put him down.
"You play by yourself first. Daddy's going to take a shower and change clothes." Gao Mingcheng was already wet. He didn't dare to hug his son, for fear of getting him wet too and causing him to catch a cold.
But what does a kid know? Little Xuxu only knows that he hasn’t seen his dad for a few days, and now he just wants his dad to hug him!
Gao Mingcheng had no choice but to take Xiao Xuxu to the bathroom on the second floor, where one of them took a shower while the other watched outside the door.
Oh, this little brat is so difficult to take care of!
After changing clothes, Gao Mingcheng felt refreshed, and little Xuxu finally got the hug he wished for.
"Brother, have you finished your shower? The noodles are cooked for you!" Gao Shufang's voice came from downstairs. Gao Mingcheng responded and immediately went downstairs carrying Xiao Xuxu.
He arrived home in the afternoon, which was neither early nor late, but Gao Shufang and the others thought Gao Mingcheng must be hungry, so after sorting out the things, they cooked a bowl of noodles for Gao Mingcheng.
The noodles used were the Huwan oil noodles that Gao Mingcheng bought from the city last time. These noodles were very thin and cooked very quickly.
From the time Gao Mingcheng returned home and finished taking a shower, a large bowl of noodles was already on the table.
Thin noodles are soaked in the soup, with two poached eggs and a few green leaves placed on top.
The noodles were just out of the pot, emitting steam, and the aroma of the food also wafted out with the steam.
Gao Mingcheng picked up the chopsticks and prepared to have a delicious meal. Driving requires a lot of physical strength. Even though he was in good physical condition, he was tired and hungry after driving for a long time.
However, before eating the noodles in big mouthfuls, you can feed Xiao Xuxu a few bites to satisfy his craving. Seeing that Xiao Xuxu's eyes were staring at the noodles in the bowl, Gao Mingcheng understood and immediately picked up a little and fed it into his mouth.
Seeing him feeding the child, Xuanyuemei smiled and said, "Xiaoxuxu likes this kind of noodles very much, but this kind of noodles is only available in the city. I plan to buy some noodles here after I finish eating these at home."
They also produce dried noodles locally, but the taste is a little worse. This difference is not very obvious to ordinary people, because the price can make up for these shortcomings.
Gao Mingcheng asked, "Is it the noodles from the shop in Houliu Lane?"
Many people nodded. There was a family in Houliu Lane who made a living by making noodles. It was said that their noodle-making skills had been passed down for several generations and had a good reputation, but the production was limited and they were not well-known outside.
Gao Mingcheng had naturally eaten it before, and this family continued to make noodles in later generations. Young people at that time did not like to buy them from such handicraft workshops, but the older people in the local area would go there to buy them.
In the minds of their generation, the noodles made in that handmade workshop are delicious, much better than those noodles produced in factories and then packaged in fancy ways!
Gao Mingcheng said, "Then buy some more tomorrow. Next time I go back to the village, I'll bring some for grandma and grandma. Noodles are easy to digest and suitable for them."
"Okay." Xuanyuemei nodded in agreement, and decided in her heart to buy some more and give two kilograms to her second sister as well!
This is what it means to live close to each other. Xuanyuemei always thinks about her second sister more or less. As for her eldest and third sisters, they rarely visit each other if they have nothing to do during normal times and only visit each other during the Chinese New Year.
The next day, the weather was nice and it didn't rain anymore.
Xuanyuemei found a time when there were few customers in the store and prepared to go to Houliu Lane to buy noodles.
She couldn't drive, but she could ride a bike, so she rode her bike towards Houliu Lane. Before leaving, because she had to buy a lot of noodles, Gao Mingcheng suggested driving there, but was rejected by Meibai.
Houliu Lane is not too far from here. It takes more than 20 minutes to walk there, but there is no need to drive there. Gasoline is free!
So Gao Mingcheng got a glare and obediently took care of the baby in the store.
Houliu Lane is a row of low houses, some new and some old. The newer houses are mostly two-story, while the older houses are bungalows.
The family that made and sold noodles was named Liu. It was an old house, but it covered a large area. Instead of having tiles on the upstairs, they had a simple shed. Therefore, there were hundreds of bamboo poles on the roof and in the backyard, with a lot of noodles hanging on the poles.
Xuanyuemei parked her bicycle next to the house and strode in.
As soon as I entered, I saw a group of people working. Some were kneading dough, some were pulling noodles, and some were pouring flour into a bowl, and then adding water, salt, oil, etc. according to the proportion.
Seeing Xuanyuemei coming to the door, someone immediately put down his work and came to greet her. When he learned that Xuanyuemei wanted to buy noodles, he immediately took Xuanyuemei to the place where the finished noodles were placed.
All the employees in this handicraft workshop are family members. Those who mix the flour and knead the dough are strong men, while those who are responsible for pulling the noodles, hanging them up to dry, and packaging them are careful women.
In addition to dried noodles, they also sell ordinary noodles, which are divided into two price categories. The more expensive ones are the noodles that are formed in one go.
The cheaper ones are the noodles that are secondarily molded.
The raw materials for these second-molded noodles are the scraps of the first-molded noodles, such as those that are cut off or accidentally broken or crushed.
When there are enough scraps, water is added again and stirred, and then made into noodles.
In this way, the price will naturally be cheaper.
As for the noodles that many girls want to buy, they are the most expensive type of noodles in this store because the production process of the noodles is complicated and the ingredients are the best.
"I want thirty kilograms of noodles." Xuanyuemei said, then watched the other party take out a bag and put fifteen bags of noodles into the bag.
This kind of noodles comes in a package of two kilograms, wrapped in old newspapers and tied with thin ropes so that it will not easily come loose.
After buying the noodles, Xuanmei put them on the back seat of the bicycle and tied them up with ropes.
Riding a bicycle, Xuanyue did not return to the clothing store immediately, but went to Gao Mingwan's home.
She discussed it with Gao Mingcheng last night. Since they were going to give it away, they might as well give it to all. They should let Xuanyuemei send two kilograms to Wang Xiuxiu as well, and see how Wang Xiuxiu was recovering.
As for the other noodles, six pounds were given to grandma and great-grandmother each, two pounds to her second sister, and the rest were eaten by their family.
There are many people eating at home, and more than ten pounds of noodles may seem a lot, but they are eaten very quickly!
It has been several days since Wang Xiuxiu gave birth. Although natural childbirth is a bit painful, recovery after childbirth is much faster. When many women went to visit Wang Xiuxiu, she seemed to have almost recovered.
The weather is getting warmer, but Wang Xiuxiu still wears long sleeves and long pants, and even a thin coat, a confinement cap, socks and shoes.
At that time, Gao Mingwan was still on vacation at home. With Gao Mingwan and Hu Yinchen helping to take care of the children, Wang Xiuxiu was naturally able to recover quickly.
The arrival of many beauties made Wang Xiuxiu very happy.
Originally, among the four sisters-in-law, Wang Xiuxiu had the closest relationship with Xuanyuemei. After she moved to the clothing store before giving birth, her relationship with Xuanyuemei naturally became deeper.
Of course, they also have a good relationship with Zhang Jinling. Invisibly, the three of them have formed a group to isolate the eldest sister-in-law Huang Su'e.
"Second sister-in-law, sit down and have some tea!" Gao Mingwan was very happy to see Xuanyuemei. He hurriedly called Xuanyuemei to sit down and have a rest, and poured her a cup of tea.
After drinking the tea, Xuanyuemei asked Gao Mingwan how many days of vacation he had left.
Gao Mingwan stretched out a hand, opened his five fingers, and said with a smile: "I can still take five days off!"
That's pretty good. Xuanyuemei took out a bag of noodles and said to Wang Xiuxiu, "I bought a lot of noodles today, and I'll give you two kilograms of noodles as well. These noodles can help you produce milk, so eat more."
Wang Xiuxiu took the noodles and thanked them with a smile: "Hey, thank you, second sister-in-law."
Hu Yinchen was holding the child and coaxing her, and immediately said: "Xiu Xiu's milk is very good! Ming Wan bought her a lot of milk-inducing products, and a few days ago her parents sent some sweet wine and chicken. There are so many delicious foods at home that we can't finish them all!"
Many beauties were not surprised to hear this. After all, Gao Mingwan's family was not bad, and Gao Mingwan treated Wang Xiuxiu very well. It was normal for him to provide her with good food and drink after the child was born.
She was surprised that Luo Xiaohua had not come to see Wang Xiuxiu and the child yet.
"The last time Mingcheng came back to the village, Mom said that she would come to the county to see you after the bricks at home were baked. Why hasn't she come yet?" Xuanyuemei asked curiously. According to the date, the bricks at home should have been baked.
After the fire is cut off and the kiln is sealed, water needs to be carried to wet the kiln. When the temperature inside the kiln drops, the kiln can be opened and the blue bricks inside can be moved out.
In this way, the kiln of bricks is burned out. (End of this chapter)
