After taking a short rest, Li Boshan took Feng Yanhong out of the house, and the second grandfather went back to the house to sleep.
Li Boshan took Feng Yanhong out of the alley familiarly and then spoke.
"Well, I'll take you there next time Quanjude comes. Second Grandpa is famous for his hospitality, but he doesn't even have two dollars in his hands now. If he really invites us, it will take about ten days.
He will cause famine everywhere.”
Feng Yanhong didn't take this to heart. After all, Quanjude's ducks were notoriously expensive, and she didn't want her second grandfather to spend any money.
"Yes, I understand." Feng Yanhong had actually guessed something from her second grandfather's behavior.
"I'll go to the station in the afternoon and buy your ticket back first, and then I'll take you to buy some clothes. We'll go to school tomorrow."
Li Boshan was very grateful for Feng Yanhong's understanding, and he intertwined his fingers with her and got a little closer.
"good."
The two discussed it and decided to make four dishes and one soup for lunch, including a piece of braised fish that Grandpa Er loved to eat.
"Your family is not really a big landowner, right? Do you have to pay so much attention to your food?"
When Li Boshan told Feng Yanhong that when the fish was caught later, the fish's head would be facing the second grandfather, Feng Yanhong finally couldn't help lowering her voice and asked.
"That's not true. It may be richer than the big landowners. Who knows. My dad never told me about it. It was all told by my second grandfather. From what I heard, it should be a pretty wealthy family."
"Our family doesn't pay much attention to food, but Grandpa Second is very particular about this. Let's just do as he pleases and respect the old man, right?"
Li Boshan used a joking tone to coax Feng Yanhong, put his arm around her shoulders, and shook her gently.
"Okay, go buy soy sauce!"
Four dishes and one soup were served on the table. The second grandfather happily took out the small wine glass and poured a glass for Li Boshan.
With this mental outlook and the smoothness of his movements, if Li Boshan hadn't told him, she would have thought that his second grandfather was in his sixties or seventies.
But she is already eighty-seven! In this day and age, she is quite the longevity star!
"Try the food cooked by my grandson-in-law."
The second grandfather first picked up the chopsticks, took a small piece from the belly of the fish and put it into his mouth.
"Hmm! This braised carp is no worse than the master chef at our Qingxiang House back then."
"Okay! Some effort!" Second Grandpa gave a thumbs up and praised him without hesitation.
He turned to Li Boshan and said with a smile: "It's much more delicious than what your mother makes."
If it weren't for the thick layer of dust accumulated on the kitchen utensils in the kitchen, she would have thought that her second grandfather was an expert at cooking.
Li Boshan said that his family had not had much firepower in the past few decades, and these things were all bought when Aunt Ji took Bo Qing for a checkup last time.
My second grandfather had some retirement pay in January. During the planned economy, he ate in the cafeteria all year round. Later, when the economy was liberalized, he also bought and ate. That little pay was often used up before the end of the month.
After listening to Li Boshan's words, Feng Yanhong couldn't help but sigh, 'Well, isn't this a proper Moonlight Clan?'
That's not right. Where did the Moonlight Clan get the money to buy the house?
Feng Yanhong didn't dare to say much at the dinner table, and listened quietly to the two people talking, as if she was pawning something in order to buy back the wing room.
What kind of general and what kind of jar? From the looks of it, Li Boshan didn't quite understand what he was pawning.
Feng Yanhong always felt that she heard the sound of insects. She originally thought it was her tinnitus after getting off the train, but she could hear it especially clearly at the dinner table.
"That grasshopper's cry, Grandpa Second will show it to you after dinner."
"This general tiger raised by my second grandfather is very powerful."
Feng Yanhong's throat froze, and she finally understood that there were many other things pawned, including a grasshopper...
insect!
Damn it, a bug can change a room?!
"It's even more powerful than the one I sold. The person who bought the grasshopper didn't know what he was selling, and he was interested in my jar. They really thought I was an old fool, so of course I couldn't give them General Huwei."
When she said this, Feng Yanhong clearly felt that her second grandfather was very proud of this matter.
"good......"
Feng Yanhong didn't understand anything, but she wanted to see what kind of insect it was and whether it was worth a room.
Oh, it’s still a room in Beijing!
Even in this day and age, it should cost several thousand yuan, right?
But just after she said yes, Li Boshan gave her a sympathetic look.
"Come on, come on, second grandpa will take you to see my dear, and let that brat wash the dishes."
"ah?"
Feng Yanhong never expected that the old man would be so anxious and looked back at Li Boshan.
Li Boshan smiled helplessly and took the bowls and chopsticks from her hand.
The old man had already neatly taken out many bottles and cans from the house and placed them on the small table under the eaves.
He also took out a small palm-sized birdcage from the house, with a big black bug inside. It screamed more cheerfully when it saw the sun, giving it a feeling of vitality.
"Look, is it loud?"
"Loud."
Oh my god, he looks quite ferocious, with a pair of big black eyes that are even bigger than a grasshopper's. He keeps flashing his wings and holds his head up as if to challenge her.
"People call this Hundred-Day Chong'er, also called Xiang Chong'er, and my mighty General's cry is famously loud in this area." The second grandfather's face showed great pride.
"Whooping insects? Does that mean they can only live for three months?"
This thing can only live for one summer, right? Raise it just to hear its screams?
"Well, those are ordinary grasshoppers raised by ordinary people. They don't know how to raise them!"
Second Grandpa waved his hand with a hint of contempt in his eyes, and then pointed at his Grasshopper.
"I, General Huwei, am an adult from last summer. Do you think I am not energetic?"
"Lived for two summers?!" Feng Yanhong looked at the Grasshopper in the cage again with surprise and gave her second grandfather a thumbs up.
"You are so awesome!"
"Harm~ This is nothing powerful, it's just a toy."
After being praised, the second grandfather became humble and completely opened up the topic of raising grasshoppers.
From how to feed, how to identify the calls, how to identify the male and female of the grasshoppers, what varieties are there, how to choose the right insects...
Feng Yanhong was confused when she heard it, so she could only nod her head and continue listening patiently.
She was not afraid of these things, especially the green grasshopper, which was no different from the grasshopper they played with when they were children, except that it was a little bigger.
But she never figured it out, could this insect be worth a room?
Li Boshan explained the reason to her when he took her to buy a train ticket on his tricycle.
"In fact, it's not the grasshoppers that are valuable. What's valuable is the jar where my second grandfather kept grasshoppers. He used to treasure that jar. It's been a few years and it was made by a very famous craftsman."
"Oh, so what's going on?" Then she understood, it's an antique.
Although she didn't understand what those people were doing with these things, she also knew that these things had collectible value.
