The light cakes we eat at night are made with pickles. There are two kinds of light cakes, one is salty, and the other is sweet light cakes with brown sugar sprinkled on the surface. The one I ate is salty, and its texture is a bit like the baked dumplings eaten by people in the northwest. picture.
Xiao Changchong, the black boy, had a huge appetite. He had eaten four of them before I could finish them. Before he could swallow the food in his mouth, he reached out to take it from the box. As a result, his sister immediately hit him with chopsticks and scolded him. Said: "There are guests here, please pay attention to how you eat! Study every day and finish last in the exam, then you will know how to eat!"
Changchong glanced at me. He grabbed the cake and took a big bite. He chewed and said, "I'm not the last one, I'm the fourth! There are three people in front of me. Also, my English teacher praised me yesterday." , she said I made rapid progress."
He asked Xiao Changying: "Sister, do you know how to say cake in English? Say keke, and say keke for cake! We are eating cakes now, right? In English, it means hey mu, auntie keke! Sister You don’t understand at all.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at me proudly, as if he was showing off to me that he was knowledgeable.
Xiao Changying said with a dark face: "Put your face out."
After saying that, she slapped his brother! The sound is extremely loud.
Changchong cried immediately, biting the cake and said aggrievedly: "Grandpa, don't worry about it, my sister beats me again!"
"Why!"
The old man sighed and said: "You two, just let me worry a little. If one day I get mad at you, you will be happy, right?"
The siblings immediately stopped arguing.
"Eat, young man, there are so many more, you're welcome."
I quickly said thank you, I was almost full.
He asked: "I see that you are always running around. What kind of business do you usually do?"
"Oh, I collect antiques and do antique business."
Xiao Changying asked in surprise: "Xiang Feng, can you make money from this business? Can you make 100,000 yuan a year?"
I said no problem, I can earn more than this amount.
She put down her chopsticks and said immediately: "That's just right. We have some ancient objects passed down from our family. Can you help take a look at them after dinner to see if they are worth anything?"
I nodded and said yes.
Just like that, after eating, Xiao Zhengxing excused himself to say that he had something to do and had to go out. Xiao Changying asked her brother to carry down a large wooden box from upstairs.
I opened it and saw a lot of messy things inside, including copper coins from the Qing Dynasty, copper plates, a few silver dollars, and the old silver hat flower. I pulled it back and forth twice, and suddenly a small bronze snake was revealed. elephant.
I was immediately attracted to this thing.
This little copper snake is covered in green rust, and its tail is stuck on a bronze base. When you lay this thing flat, you will see that the snake looks like it is sitting on a bench.
I have seen many Bench Buddhas from the Southern and Northern Dynasties, including the Northern Wei Dynasty, but this was the first time I saw the Bench Snake, and it opened my eyes.
"Is this a family tradition?"
Xiao Changying nodded: "Yes, I remember playing with this thing when I was a child. Is this an antique? What dynasty is it from? Is it valuable?"
"Sell it or not?" I asked directly.
She was stunned: "You want it? How much will it cost?"
"How much do you want to sell?"
"I don't understand, just tell me."
"Then...then eight hundred yuan?"
I said it casually because I only had more than 800 yuan in cash in my wallet.
Unexpectedly, she said directly without thinking, "Okay, I'll sell you then."
I didn't talk nonsense, I immediately gave the money and put the bronze snake in my pocket.
She was very happy to get eight hundred yuan, and found me a lot of messy things and asked me if I wanted them.
I am a collector of antiques, not scraps. I was about to say no, when I suddenly heard a muffled "dong" sound, which was not loud.
I looked up and asked, "What is this sound?"
She immediately said: "There is some noise somewhere, it might be a mouse, don't worry about it."
Is there a mouse in the snake? Are you kidding, and a rat can make such a sound? I didn't believe it at all, but it didn't show on my face.
After staying for a while, I made an excuse to say that it was getting late and I wanted to go back, and my sister and brother came out to see me off.
