Chapter 210 State Banquet
Chen Pingsheng went home.
I saw that the big-butt kid Chen Anan was holding a magnifying glass that was bigger than her face, looking at the small bowl from left to right.
His mother Peng Ying was still looking at her nervously, and Chen Bufan and his wife were also beside her.
"How is it? Is it from the Ming Dynasty?"
"The chicken above doesn't look like it."
A few days ago, a Ming Dynasty chicken cup was sold for more than 200 million yuan, which happened to be seen by Peng Ying and others.
The old things are so valuable that the old lady simply kept an eye out outside.
Today, I happened to meet a man dressed like a beggar, who took out a small bowl and said it was a family heirloom.
The sincerity of the words would move any normal person.
Peng Ying took out her trump card, bargained for 18 times, and finally bought it for 8,000 yuan.
Go home and let the pretentious big-butt kid see it.
Chen Anan instantly became a drama queen. When she first came to Nanluoguxiang, she also played with antiques for a while.
The main reason is that everyone around here likes to play with this, so she started to like it too.
Anyway, with 200,000 yuan of pocket money every month, she could only buy two fewer clothes at most.
The first time, she happily spent 1,200 yuan to buy a bird cage.
I don’t know if it was luck or something, but she really got it the first time.
She took it to the antique shop and found that it was something from the home of a prince in the Qing Dynasty.
It was worth more than 200,000 yuan.
After that, she couldn’t stop.
She bought from the Qing Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, and then from the Ming Dynasty to the Song and Yuan Dynasties.
Anyway, she bought whatever others said.
For three whole months, she spent more than one million yuan, but in the end, there was not a single authentic item.
The big brat was no longer obsessed with this, and decisively changed to playing the erhu.
Unexpectedly, not long after she stopped, the little old lady became obsessed with it again.
After living in the Siheyuan, I always feel that there are treasures everywhere around here. What if I get it?
It doesn’t matter whether it’s money or not, the key is to be happy.
After looking at it for a long time, Chen Pingsheng took it and took a look, "What are you looking at?"
"Dad, grandma said she bought a Ming Dynasty chicken cup."
He had heard of the chicken cup, but this was definitely the first time he had seen a chicken cup.
Chen Pingsheng looked around and pointed to the blue mark under the bowl and said, "Such an obvious modern symbol, do you need a magnifying glass to look at it?"
Chen Anan had already seen it. She handed the magnifying glass in her hand, which was bigger than her little face, to her father, "Isn't it too obvious? I thought it was intentional."
Chen Anan said weakly.
Chen Pingsheng was speechless. The big brat had always been so unreliable.
When did she think normally? He was surprised.
It was only 8,000 yuan. Many people were cheated when playing with antiques.
This is nothing at all.
The old lady was disappointed. Chen Pingsheng never played with antiques, no matter how rich he was.
The man next door, surnamed Jin, did come to him with a few old items.
He just didn't take them once.
"Dad, grandma and the others are leaving tomorrow."
My younger sister got married, and they had fun in Beijing. Chen Pingsheng arranged for the customized Coaster at home to take them back.
As for his father, Chen Jianjun, he had already taken a plane and left in advance because of the road construction in the village.
The countryside has been vigorously building roads in recent years. Some roads were built this year and will be built next year.
They will be repaired next year, and they will start to patch up the year after next.
Anyway, they will not be used for long, and there are potholes.
Chen Jianjun has said this several times. This year, he will hand over all the road construction projects in the village to outsiders.
Directly avoid those relatives.
Because of this matter, they have quarreled several times, and the general meaning is that someone disagrees.
There are many people who want to take advantage of public funds projects. It's not easy to become a small rural official.
So hard to serve the people, if the public funds project comes, you can't get any good.
Wouldn't you starve to death if you rely on salary.
Chen Pingsheng often listens to the old man on the phone, anyway, there is disappointment in his words.
The village chief who is dedicated to serving the people is opposed every day.
The old man doesn't know what's wrong with this society now.
When Peng Ying was at home, she would go to the homes of the village cadres every day to argue about these things.
She was angry for several days.
Now she simply doesn't think about it. The old man can do whatever he wants. Anyway, she will stay in Beijing and live a comfortable life.
Grandpa and grandma are about to go back, and Chen Pingsheng specially invited them to eat the most authentic Beijing dishes.
The chefs are the kind who can show up at state banquets.
There is no one to lead such a place, and it is difficult to make a reservation even if you have money.
It is a membership system, and any dish costs several thousand.
The wine is still Guojiao 1573 "360".
The price of a single bottle is as high as 350,000.
Guojiao 1573 "360" is the top customized wine of Luzhou Laojiao.
It is brewed by several national-level blending masters designated by the government in the national treasure cellar.
This wine is one less bottle.
Chen Pingsheng would occasionally have a little taste at home, but he wouldn't drink too much.
His grandfather still liked to drink this kind of old wine, and as for Chen Anan, she liked to come here to eat.
In a place like this, it is really common to spend hundreds of thousands on a meal.
Any bottle of wine starts at 20,000.
It's not the kind of rip-off, but the real deal.
At this age, grandparents have suffered a lifetime.
When they were young, they witnessed the Japanese invaders entering the village, and many relatives died in front of their own.
After finally getting through it, they encountered famine again.
Sons and daughters are born more and more, bark and roots, as long as they are edible.
That’s basically what I’ve eaten.
When I was older, I caught up with the reform and opening up, and it took decades of hard work to build the small hut at home.
A two-story red brick house was built.
Later, because of some firewood, rice, oil and salt, the whole family was so noisy every day that their faces turned red.
I have never enjoyed a few days of happiness in my life. When I came to Chen Pingan, I truly experienced the best of luxury.
Never look at the price when buying something.
If you don't go to your own home for eating out, the starting price is 10,000 to 20,000.
Now, coming here to have a meal is standard for a state banquet.
Eighty-eight thousand per table.
A bottle of wine also costs hundreds of thousands.
The eldest daughter-in-law Peng Ying, who has been saving her whole life, seems to have become accustomed to it.
Actually, Peng Ying was not used to it when he first came here.
He kept talking about saving money every day, but after staying there for a while, he simply followed the local customs.
Anyway, there is no shortage of food and clothing.
If an atomic bomb comes, everyone may return to the starting point.
"Grandma, why don't you stay here longer?"
"If you have something to do at home, how can you stay in the capital every day?"
As people get older, no matter how prosperous the outside world is, they are not as comfortable as living in their own hometown.
This may be called fallen leaves returning to their roots.
Chen Pingsheng also left his grandparents behind. If they insisted on returning to the countryside, there was nothing they could do.
However, the third uncle and aunt had a small wish. She hoped that Chen Bufan could stay here.
His grandparents also hope that he will stay in the capital.
Although Chen Bufan was born with intellectual disabilities, he was actually quite a good person.
If he has neither temper nor stubbornness, he will do whatever he is asked to do.
Just smile when nothing happens.
As for his normal wife, they are all young people. After seeing the prosperity of the capital, several young people are still willing to return to the countryside.
Chen Pingsheng didn't care.
Anyway, his cousin is quite obedient.
Never go alone to a place with many strangers.
I won’t think about causing trouble, I will do my duty.
Just not very smart.
My grandparents still want him to have a job here.
This is pretty easy to arrange.
Chen Bufan is different from other relatives. He was born with a major flaw, and he still has to help.
Otherwise, relying on his third uncle and his aunt, he would have to sit in the countryside and do nothing for the rest of his life.
After returning home.
His wife was still in the room with a small computer doing calculations, and Chen Pingsheng didn't even know what she was calculating.
"Husband, if I spend more than 500 million to buy a headquarters building in Shanghai, it will take at least thirty years to get back the money. Do you think that when the property rights of the building are obtained after thirty years, will it still belong to my family?"
"Theoretically it must be, but in practice no one can tell."
Chen Pingsheng thought she was thinking something, but it turned out that she was still hesitating to buy a Shuiyunjian headquarters building.
She had been thinking about it for several days. After her younger sister's wedding, she didn't stop until now.
Song Yanxi is wearing white pajamas.
It's the end of October now, and the temperature in Beijing is only around ten degrees Celsius at night.
It will be a while before I have to wear down jackets again.
"I'm just afraid that in a few decades, that building will no longer be our home."
"That shouldn't be the case."
Chen Pingsheng said: "It's just a matter of several hundred million, why did you think about it for so long?
"The property rights of the house will expire after 70 years. You said that when the 70 years are up, the house will no longer be yours. How is that possible?"
Nowadays, three generations of people would have to work hard to buy a house.
It will take decades to pay off the mortgage.
It can't be just for no reason. It just depends on what other methods will be used to make up for it.
Song Yanxi thought about it, so Chen Pingsheng slapped her buttocks.
The richer you are, the more timid you become.
When she was flipping houses before, I never saw her so hesitant.
Perhaps the main reason is that there are more people speculating in real estate. When there are more people, you will naturally not be afraid.
But if you speculate in commercial buildings now, you will definitely not lose money.
It’s just that there are relatively few people doing this, so we hesitate.
Song Yanxi glared at him, why did she spank herself again when it was nothing?
So easy to fight?
She stretched out her legs to kick him aside and covered herself with a quilt to sleep.
Next time I go to Shanghai, I must buy myself a big mansion.
Let Shui Yunjian show off his authority over there.
Seeing that the Shuiyunjian annual meeting is getting closer and closer, it is estimated that there will be another 890 million by then.
There will definitely be no shortage of money.
Chen Pingsheng asked her to turn around and buy a house. It was not a big deal.
On the other hand, her sister Song Wu had a boyfriend in the entertainment industry.
Originally, she was old enough, and it was normal for her to have a boyfriend in her mid-twenties.
Chen Pingsheng asked her what her opinion was?
Song Yanxi actually doesn't like the male stars in the entertainment industry, and she always feels that none of them are reliable.
She couldn't stand that her sister was also a star in that circle.
Those are the people who have the most contact.
"You said that if she doesn't find someone in the entertainment industry, what kind of person can she find?"
Chen Pingsheng simply asked her if she knew.
Song Yanxi must have known about it, Song Wu had told her several times, and even brought that person to see her and asked for her opinion.
Song Yanxi's opinion is that she has no objection, it's up to her.
Chen Pingsheng lamented that she was quite generous as a biological sister.
He didn't ask specifically, Bai Xin told him.
Even if he didn't want to know about the things in the entertainment industry, countless people would report them to him.
You can't avoid it even if you want to, so it's just like taking advantage of it.
After saying goodbye to his grandparents the next day, he went to work at Tengying Entertainment as usual.
