Chapter 106
That piece of Spring Festival couplets, trembling with the east wind, seems to be going to Shanshan's house.
Holding the paste bowl in one hand, Shanshan bent down to pick up the Spring Festival couplets, which read "Auspicious Ruyi Family Prosperity".
In 1904, on the right door frame, there was a red couplet with "Prosperity, Ping An, He Gui", which was very festive, but it was pasted upside down.
The man opposite had broad shoulders and long legs. He was wearing a gray black sweater, gray slacks, and a short jacket, which made his legs look longer. He walked over, probably to take back the couplets.
Walking in front of Shanshan, "Hello, couplet."
Shanshan handed it to him.
The red couplets made the skin of his fingers look colder and whiter, and his voice hit like jade, "Thank you."
Shanshan put down his hand, knowing that he was the one who just took pictures of all the tomb objects, and was going to give them to her. Still curious about him, why?
"May I ask you to donate those antiques you photographed this afternoon?" Shanshan asked him.
The man nodded slightly, "Well, I'm going to donate to a new museum. The secretary contacted the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau, and they suggested donating to the new museum in the west of the city." It
was Shanshan's museum.
Shanshan took a deep breath. Today was a day of great joy and sorrow. After accepting his donation, the empty C area of the museum can be completely filled!
"Thank you!" Shan Shan sincerely thanked him, and the haze suppressed by him all day was swept away.
His gray-blue eyes, in the dark corridor, were dotted like a sea of blue stars, and Shan Shan couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Shanshan took the couplets to the same hand, and then stretched out his hand, "Let's get to know each other again, I'm Yu Shanshan, the actual owner of the museum you donated, thank you very much."
He stretched out his hand and shook her weakly. Suddenly, the skin temperature was lower than hers, perhaps because she was not wearing a down jacket.
A thread of memory passed quickly in Shanshan's mind, and she just caught it for a moment when she was suddenly interrupted by his self-introduction.
"Hi Shanshan, I have watched the live broadcast and I know you. Your live broadcast is one of the reasons why I donate. My surname is Xie, and my name is Jin Yan, today's Jin."
He speaks clearly and speaks Mandarin well, But Shanshan has a southern accent, and there is a bit of indistinction between front and back nasal sounds. If he hadn't introduced the word jin, she might have heard it as "amazing".
"Which yan is yan?"
"The inkstone of the inkstone."
It sounds like he likes writing and ink, and he knows everything. He found that Xie Jinyan was very focused on people, and kept looking at the other person's heart.
Shan Shan moved her eyes away, and the long couplet fluttered to her pajama pants against the wind.
Xie Jinyan picked it up and rolled two scrolls on the back of his hand.
Shanshan told him, "Your couplets are pasted upside down."
"Upside down?" Xie Jinyan turned around and stared in doubt.
Shanshan explained, "Well, prosperity, safety, peace and harmony are the upper couplets, auspiciousness and family prosperity are the lower couplets, if you paste couplets face to face with the door, the upper right side is the upper couplet, and the left side should be the lower couplet."
She said, on the 1904 door frame , another couplet just posted, floated here again overwhelmed. Now both couplets are lost.
Xie Jinyan picked it up silently.
Shan Shan couldn't help laughing, "Did you use double-sided tape?"
"Yes."
Xie Jinyan saw the porcelain bowl in her hand, with some white glue inside, "May I borrow your white glue?"
He said, Only then did Shan Shan realize that the batter in his hand was a bit dry, and Shan Shan stirred it again, "This is the batter, we will paste it for you right away."
Xie Jinyan waited for them to paste it.
He Zhizhou stepped on the chair, stuck the horizontal link on the door, pressed the left side, and the right side inevitably fell off.
Xie Jinyan politely said, "Excuse me."
Shanshan stepped aside, Xie Jinyan directly raised his right hand, pressed the falling right horizontal link, then took the brush from Shanshan's hand, and brushed the batter.
He Zhizhou of 181: ...I feel insulted.
There was not much batter left, not enough for Xie Jinyan to borrow, Shanshan took the bowl, "Mr. Xie, wait."
She went home quickly to make batter, Grandpa He asked her if it was the foreigner at the door.
Shanshan replied yes.
Grandpa He said again, "I heard that he gave you all the collections?"
Shanshan nodded, "Yes, I don't know him either." If you don't know him,
can you just give 4 billion? Grandpa He showed a small expression of eating melons. The daughter is really good-looking and quite talented. It is inevitable to attract high-quality men.
He coughed, then smiled and said, "When will your museum open? I want to go shopping every day."
Shan Shan poured water into the batter, "I hurry up."
She mixed the batter and went out, Xie Jinyan was waiting at the door .
He Zhizhou and she both wore thick coats, only Xie Jinyan wore a sweater. Xie Jinyan and Niu Ben were talking about something. Subconsciously
, Shan Shan asked Xie Jinyan, "Aren't you cold?" After
Xie Jinyan answered Niu Ben's last sentence, "It's okay."
"Let's finish posting soon."
, "I'll help you post it together." The
three of them moved very quickly and quickly posted it.
"Prosperity is safe and everything is in harmony, good luck and family prosperity", the horizontal comment is actually "more children, more blessings".
Seeing Hengpi, He Zhizhou became petrified, "Jin Yan, can I call you that?"
"Yes, I will also call you Zhizhou."
"Jinyan, did you make a mistake in Hengpi? Are you married?"
Xie Jinyan didn't quite understand. He didn't know simplified Chinese characters. He just learned traditional Chinese characters in a certain world. When he came to this world, he used these simplified characters. , he doesn't know this kind of simplified characters very well.
"Actually, I don't really understand these words. I'm not married." After Xie Jinyan finished speaking, he glanced at Shanshan uncomfortably.
Shan Shan focused on the words "many children, many blessings", and bit his lip to hold back his smile.
She was laughing at me, Xie Jinyan's face was tense, he looked at his couplet "Prosperity is safe and everything is peaceful, auspicious and prosperous family business", and then looked at her handwritten couplet "All lakes and seas are spring, thousands of rivers and mountains are full of brilliance". Fan, indeed more subtle.
He Zhizhou felt a little sympathetic to the foreigner, "Did you make a mistake with two couplets?"
Xie Jinyan did tear down two couplets, probably by mistake. He went home and took out a new horizontal batch of "Family Prosperity".
Several people re-posted the banner of "Prosperous Family Business". Shan Shan stirred the batter, moved his nose, and there was a burnt smell coming from his house.
"Is your house..." It's
getting more and more confusing, the two of them are still posting horizontal comments, Shan Shan feels something is wrong, so he brushes against his side and runs into his house. The layout of the flat floor is similar, the kitchen and hers home in the same location. Black smoke was coming out of his kitchen...
Shanshan walked over quickly, opened the glass door, turned off the switch with a wet rag, and turned off the burning gas stove.
Then he fanned the wind on the tip of his nose, and coughed a few times, his eyes were so hot.
There was black smoke in the kitchen. She opened the kitchen window to ventilate. There was half a tube of uncooked noodles on the cooking table. The noodles in the pot had already turned black into charcoal.
This is really a single man. Eat whatever you want and muddle along.
Xie Jinyan and He Zhizhou walked in. Xie Jinyan's cold and deep face rarely showed a trace of embarrassment. When talking to Shanshan before, he liked to look directly into her eyes. I'm not proficient in cooking."
"It's because it took too long to post the couplet just now." Shan Shan said for him.
The kitchen disaster is resolved, and the couplets at the door are pasted up, so they should leave too.
He Zhizhou's eyes were glued to the antiques in the living room.
All the antiques photographed today are on the table in the living room, or against the wall.
Isn't Xie Jinyan worried about someone breaking into the house?
The main reason is not this, He Zhizhou thought, these are women's tomb objects, ordinary people's homes can have at most one or two antiques, antiques have a sinister air, so many, he is not afraid?
Xie Jinyan looked as usual, and said "thank you" to Shanshan, if it wasn't for her just now, the kitchen would be on fire.
Shanshan also noticed the cultural relics in the living room, she really wanted to touch those things, so she held back. Fortunately, she came in and turned off the fire just now, otherwise all the antiques in this room would be burned, and she would cry to someone.
But these are Xie Jinyan's things, and she has no right to comment on them.
Xie Jinyan asked her, "You can go there, I haven't contacted the bank insurance for a while." The
bank is on holiday during the Chinese New Year.
He Zhizhou walked up to Shanshan, and whispered, "Shanshan, "The Ancient Pavilion of Bishan" by Longshan Layman."
He was begging Shanshan to take it back, he really wanted to see it.
He Zhizhou and Shan Shan were whispering, and they got a little closer.
Xie Jinyan's blue eyes were dim and dim, "If I remember correctly, Zhizhou you have bid for the painting "The Ancient Pavilion on Bishan". If you are interested, you can come and observe it with Lingzu after dinner."
He Zhizhou really felt that Xie Jinyan He is a very kind person, approaching Xie Jinyan, nodding his head, "Yeah, thank you! I'll bother you tonight!"
Shanshan and He Zhizhou left, went home, and talked about Xie Jinyan with his grandfather.
While making video calls with Cui Zhexi and the others.
He Zhizhou said, "Shan Shan was making batter at home just now, I asked him, he came to China alone, his grandma and grandfather are Chinese, father and mother are half Chinese, so he is also half Chinese Already."
Cui Zhexi said "Oh", "It's complicated enough."
Shanshan glanced at him, Cui Zhexi immediately surrendered, "I don't have Shanshan!! I don't mean Shanshan to say sorry."
If Cui Zhexi was in front of Xie Jinyan , dare not let a fart go.
When Shanshan went to the kitchen to cook, Cui Zhexi complained to He Zhizhou again, "The person surnamed Xie bought people's hearts so quickly? That person surnamed Xie suddenly sent 4 billion auction items to Shanshan. He was so popular at the auction site, An What kind of heart?"
"Then I don't know."
He Zhizhou turned his head and told his grandfather that he would go to his house to observe the paintings at night.
Grandpa asked him, "Did his noodles burnt? I'll ask Shanshan."
Niu Ben just chatted with Xie Jinyan at the door. Xie Jinyan is a calm and objective person, and this kind of person has been integrated into his bones He seems to have felt it from someone...
Niu Ben looked at Shanshan, who was busy in the kitchen, and it was very similar to the feeling Shanshan gave him at first, tolerant and inclusive Temperament, as if from a long time god.
Shanshan's tolerance is gentler, and Xie Jinyan's tolerance is cooler.
In fact, this is experienced by young people, which is always somewhat contradictory.
Niu Ben watched Shanshan's first live broadcast room before, and his sense of tolerance from the world was particularly strong. At that time, Niu Ben also felt conflicted.
Later, many people came to her cabin. On the surface, Shanshan helped some beggars, but in fact, the beggars were also warming Shanshan. The sense of tolerance in her was gradually diluted, and she began to look more like a girl her age.
As for Xie Jinyan, he is not someone with ulterior motives.
Rich is really rich, Niu Ben first doubted whether Xie Jinyan was a perverted fan, if he was a perverted fan, it would be really difficult to deal with a perverted fan who is so rich.
If you want to think a bit more wretchedly, Xie Jinyan has the money to go to this point, no matter if you want to have sex with a man or a woman, there is really nothing to do with him.
But fortunately, Xie Jinyan didn't give him the impression that a person with a bright and beautiful appearance is not the same as a pervert.
"Pervert" fan Xie Jinyan stood in front of the burnt pot in the cold kitchen, lost in thought.
1901 The smell of the kitchen rushed in, Xie Jinyan rolled his Adam's apple, threw the iron pot into the sink, and prepared another pot of noodles in clear soup.
Someone knocked at the door, Xie Jinyan opened the door, it was He Zhizhou.
He Zhizhou subconsciously glanced at "The Ancient Pavilion of Bishan" greedily, "Jin Yan, do you want to have New Year's Eve dinner with us?"
Xie Jinyan walked out, and He Zhizhou realized that he had just entered for a second? Why did you quit suddenly.
The doors of every house are locked with fingerprints and passwords.
He Zhizhou took Xie Jinyan to Shanshan's house.
Opposite the living room is the kitchen, and the TV in the living room is showing the preview of the Spring Festival Gala.
Grandpa He is sitting on the sofa watching TV, peeling garlic while watching.
In a Chinese-style kitchen, the smell in the kitchen can't be shut off no matter what, and there is also a faint smell of food in the living room.
"Xiao Xie!" Grandpa He beckoned, "Come and sit down."
Xie Jinyan walked over, "Hello, Grandpa He."
Sit down and help peel the garlic together.
"I'm sorry for the afternoon auction. I saw you added it several times." Xie Jinyan took the initiative to say.
Grandpa He laughed and waved his hands, "It's all right, I want to make "Bishan Ancient Pavilion" a private collection, and you donate it to the museum, you are more generous than me. In this way, more people can understand Longshan Layman, and more Many people can know him and understand his brilliance."
"Yeah." Xie Jinyan looked up, and the kitchen was on the right side of the TV, and the figure of Shanshan was busy in the kitchen.
Grandpa He said, "I am also a guest of Shanshan's family. I called you to dinner just now. It was a bit abrupt."
It is really abrupt to ask a stranger to eat directly . Grandpa never thought of asking him to come to dinner.
Shanshan must have thought of it, but as a single girl, it is too unsafe to invite strange men to eat at home, even if there are many people in the family.
So Grandpa He told him directly that he invited him, not Shanshan, and told Xie Jinyan not to think too much.
"Thank you."
Grandpa He didn't talk to him about many personal matters. He had come into contact with many foreigners, and they paid great attention to personal privacy, so he told him about the party previewed on TV.
Shanshan sneezed inside and was frying peppers.
After a while, I couldn't help but sneezed several times in a row, walked to the side of the vegetable sink, and opened the glass window of the kitchen.
She covered her nose, stepped back a little, and let Sun Miaomiao, who was helping out, go out. It was too choking.
Sun Miaomiao came out holding her nose, coughed a few times, and choked out tears.
Niu Ben got up and asked if he needed help, and Shanshan said inside, "You don't need to come in, just help me peel the garlic!"
After speaking, he coughed a few more times.
After stir-frying, the spicy smell in the air finally dissipated a lot. The fresh air circulation system of the central air conditioner quickly faded the smell.
After frying this dish, the white and fat garlic is also peeled off.
Grandpa He let him send it in, thank you Jin Yan picked up the bowl and stood up, opened the glass door of the kitchen, walked to Shan Shan, put down a large bowl of garlic, "Shan Shan , do you want to chop it up?" Cai, glanced at Xie Jinyan, he is very good-looking, his skin is different from her milky white, it is a cold white, but since she saw his boiled noodles with little water in clear soup, there is actually an egg or vegetable leaf in it. none.
Shan Shan absolutely doesn't trust his kitchen skills.
"No, no, you go out and sit for a while, the meal will be ready soon. If you are thirsty, ask He Zhizhou to pour you some water." Shan Shan waved his hand and drove away.
Xie Jinyan was kicked out. Shanshan shouted from the kitchen, "Xie Jinyan, go and wash your hands, we will eat later."
"Yes."
Xie Jinyan went to the public restroom to wash his hands.
Grandpa He had just finished washing. He took the bath bean recipe and looked at it over and over again. "This bath bean recipe is really effective. Our ancient recipe is the best. After washing it, there is no smell of garlic at all."
After speaking, he put the bath bean recipe back to its original place I went out and told my grandson to prepare some at home, it was very useful.
The bath beans in Xie Jinyan's house are jasmine-flavored. When you turn on the tap with your fingertips, the transparent running water wets the palms and backs of your hands. Put on the bath beans, wash them carefully, and wash off the foam. The peculiar smell on your hands is replaced by a light rose smell.
He washed his hands, and the food was being served on the table one after another.
Niu Ben is opening red wine and pouring it into a decanter to sober up. The red wine was brought by Xie Jinyan.
The dining table was a long wooden table. Grandpa He sat at one end, and the others began to give way to the other end.
Shanshan said with a smile, "My family, don't care about so many formalities."
He said and put Xie Jinyan at the end of the dining table.
Xie Jinyan learned limited things and didn't know much about Chinese dining table culture. Shanshan asked him to sit, and he sat obediently, with his long legs bent under the dining table, waiting for them to arrange the next step.
Shan Shan was sitting next to him, Zhao Baiqian was sitting on his right, and next to Zhao Baiqian was He Zhizhou, who was going to help grandpa with food.
Grandpa eats with two pairs of chopsticks, serving food with serving chopsticks, and it is the same at home. Afraid that young people will dislike old men.
Niu Ben and his wife sat on one side, and he was in charge of pouring the wine. After sobering up for a while, he poured wine into everyone's red wine glasses. The top Merlot wine was deep in color.
Only 800 bottles of red wine from Petus Winery are produced a year, and a bottle costs more than 4,000 US dollars.
Only the best wine can be worthy of the New Year's Eve dinner made by his own children. Niu Ben thought he would have a good taste of this wine later.
Chinese New Year's Eve dinners include pork, beef, chicken and fish, and can be paired with red or white wine.
Xie Jinyan has not seen so many dishes on the table at one time for a long time, fourteen dishes, a full table, it is very spectacular.
Niu Ben stood up to take a photo, never forgetting his work, "It's ready to eat."
Shan Shan picked up the chopsticks to eat
the food, He Zhizhou was very mean, and pointed the group's video camera at the entire dining table.
Cui Zhexi's family had just finished the New Year's Eve dinner, and it was the time when they were bored, "Damn, is Yanyan going to have the New Year's Eve dinner?"
Yanyan is the nickname he gave Xie Jinyan, and Jin Yan would sound amazing at first glance.
Cui Zhexi was sour: "Such a lucky fate."
Yu Yanran: "Xie Jinyan spent billions of dollars today, many artists are saying that they are looking for Xie Jinyan's WeChat and contact information everywhere, and want to flirt with him. Sure enough, he is quite handsome in this death angle of shooting food."
Cui Zhexi challenged, "@焦然she stopped laughing, Yanyan, Pei Ze, and He Zhizhou, who is more handsome?"
Yu Yanran still couldn't tell He thought carefully, "You want me to tell the truth?"
Cui Zhexi: "Speak."
Yu Yanran: "Anyway, they are more handsome than you."
Cui Zhexi: "Damn, Yu Yanran! I wanted to recommend you a female number two, so forget it!"
Yu Yanran: "Forget it and forget it. Who cares about your resources."
Cui Zhexi: "Yu Yanran, you It wasn't like this before."
Yu Yanran: "Should I still call you Xiao Tiantian? Slightly slightly."
Cui Zhexi: "Petus Winery's red wine, my family only has 2 bottles."
He Zhizhou laughed while eating Hehe looked at the fight in the group.
Grandpa tapped the table with his knuckles to let him concentrate on eating.
It took an hour and a half for the New Year's Eve dinner, and the dishes cooked by Shanshan were so delicious.
Every dish has a special taste.
The dishes are not the same as the New Year’s Eve dinner in the cabin. He Zhizhou carefully took pictures for them and described the taste. Cui Zhexi, who had already finished the New Year’s Eve dinner, asked his aunt to warm up some food for him, and kept pace with them and ate together New Year's Eve dinner.
Because it was a long table, people at both ends would inevitably miss some dishes, He Zhizhou didn't care, he picked up the bowls and ran to both ends.
Xie Jinyan is a traditional gentleman, sitting still, Shanshan put some vegetables on a clean plate and put them in front of Xie Jinyan, so that he can eat more vegetables.
Xie Jinyan took his time, ate a lot, and ate up Shan Shan's entire plate of food. He didn't eat rice, and ate a lot of food.
In the end, Shanshan didn't know exactly how much he ate, how much other people ate, how many bowls of rice, and some.
One bottle of red wine was not enough, so Xie Jinyan went back and brought over a bottle of Merlot.
Merlot red wine has a deep ruby red color, and it reflects brightly under the light. It is a beautiful wine, exuding the aroma of ripe plums and cherries.
Xie Jinyan ate a mouthful of the soft stewed beef brisket with chopsticks, then raised his neck and took a sip of the jewel-colored Merlot dry red, his Adam's apple rolled, like an ancient god being pulled into the mortal world.
The eyes of all the women present could not help being attracted, except Shan Shan.
Yu Yanran, who was on the video connection, scolded, "Damn, masculinity is misleading!" and quit the video connection.
When Shanshan drank red wine, his face would turn red easily, and he would also be prone to stare blankly. His movements of eating and eating slowed down, as if he had been ordered to 0.5 times the speed.
On the other side of the camera, Cui Zhexi looked at the happy scene, his teeth itching with jealousy.
