Putting aside the donkey-hide gelatin matters for the time being, he took a newly made deerskin donkey-hide gelatin and entered the kitchen in the yard.
Slowly simmer the flowers over low heat and add some red dates.
After Lou Xiao'e woke up, Chu Xiangqian had already had breakfast. Lou Xiao'e felt sweet and hugged Chu Qianqian's neck for a while before getting up to wash up and have breakfast.
However, before eating red dates and donkey-hide gelatin, Chu Xiangqian still asked Lou Xiaoe a lot of questions. After all, donkey-hide gelatin is actually a medicine and there are still many taboos.
And even if you want to take supplements, you can’t take too much.
After breakfast, Chu Xiangqian wanted to go back to the courtyard, take a few boys to go fishing, and get some more copper coins from Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong.
But Lou Xiao'e couldn't bear to let him go.
Chu Qianqian thought for a while, and it was indeed not as comfortable to go fishing as to accompany a beautiful and obedient girl.
After being bored for a long time, the two of them unknowingly ended up chatting on the bed again.
Now Lou Xiao'e no longer had the time to pull Chu forward and prevent him from leaving.
Look at the time, it's almost 12 o'clock, I might as well stay here today.
After sleeping with Lou Xiao'e in his arms, the two of them grabbed something to eat for lunch.
Lou Xiao'e was so happy that she could drink coconut juice at this time. She drank two in a row before she felt satisfied.
Chu Xiangqian reminded her, and then Lou Xiao'e remembered that she had to go back to her parents' home to avoid being discovered by others when she stayed out all night.
Send off Lou Xiaoe who is riding a bicycle with 2 jins of red dates, 2 jins of Beijing white pears, 2 jins of Taopu and 2 coconuts.
Chu Qianqian thought for a moment, then went back to his house and entered Xinshou Village, took a bath and washed his clothes, dried them in the blacksmith shop, and then went to his wife-to-be's house.
While riding his bicycle, Chu Xiangqian felt that he was being too scumbag.
But letting myself stick to only one woman, thinking about it, I feel that it is not a good thing for myself and my wife.
In the past two days, after struggling with Qin Huairu and Lou Xiao'e five or six times, I only needed to relax for a while, but I didn't feel tired at all.
If we only guard Xue Jinglan, this girl will not live long.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian's feeling of guilt immediately disappeared.
Of course, this is just an excuse, but it is also a real problem if you take it seriously.
Approaching the courtyard, Chu Xiangqian took out another basket and put 6 coconuts, some Beijing white pears, cherries and Taopu.
He originally wanted to take a durian, but after thinking about it, he decided against it, and even the cherries were taken back to the warehouse.
This thing only matures in early May, and now it’s the end of March, which is indeed a bit early.
But Taopu, who was made into dry goods, had no such worries.
I simply put 5 pounds in it and brought it to my door.
When Xue Jinglan arrived at Xue's house, the smile on her face suddenly brightened when she saw him coming.
If there hadn't been an old lady at home, the little girl might have thrown herself into his arms and become disgusted.
Later, Taopu and Coconut were naturally loved by the old lady and Xue Jinglan.
After drinking the coconut, Chu Qianqian took Xue Jinglan to the kitchen, cut open the coconut shell with a knife, and took out the coconut meat inside for her to taste.
The little girl felt so sweet in her heart, but 6 was indeed a bit less.
"Next time I come back from a business trip, I'll bring you dozens of them to eat slowly."
As soon as she heard that Chu Xiangqian was going on a business trip again, the little girl who was still smiling suddenly lost her smile.
Chu Qianqian hugged Xue Jinglan and said, "Okay, okay, I'm just going out for a month or two. And if you don't work hard while you're young, how will you support the two of you when you have children in the future?"
Xue Jinglan's face turned red, and she was both looking forward to and a little afraid of having a baby with Chu Qianqian.
After a while, he muttered, "I can go to work too."
"I don't object to you going to work, so that you won't be bored at home alone after you marry me."
Chu Qianqian lowered his head to touch Xue Jinglan's forehead, and said with a smile, "How about I find some connections and transfer you to the Jiaodaokou Street Administrative Section office.
Or I could just stay under my aunt and manage the files. I would also work harder and let my aunt serve as the squad leader of the street canteen.
From now on, not only will I get an extra 5 yuan subsidy every month, but I will also be able to get some game for the street. When my aunt becomes popular on the street, I will also be able to earn some extra money to support my family.
But you have to collect and keep this money, lest I forget to collect the money sometimes when I go on a business trip for a month or two. "
Xue Jinglan's face lit up, no matter which woman she was, she was born with the talent of being a housekeeper.
Chu Qianqian took the initiative to hand over the extra money to him, and he felt happy in his heart.
"Then where are you going on a business trip this time?"
When Chu Qianqian heard this, he knew that the little girl had already thought about it.
After thinking for a while, he said, "It should go to the south, but I don't know where exactly."
"Going so far?" Xue Jinglan began to worry again, but after a while, she thought that her uncle was leading troops in the south. "If something happens, remember to ask my uncle for help."
After saying that, he hurriedly got out of Chu Qianqian's arms, pulled him out of the kitchen, and asked the old lady, "Grandma, what's the phone number of my uncle's unit in the south?"
The old lady was stunned for a moment. After hearing Xue Jinglan's explanation, she glanced thoughtfully at Chu Qianqian.
Chu Xiangqian immediately guessed that the old lady probably knew that she was going south, to Hong Kong Island.
"Go forward, how about you settle down in the south and take Lan Lan there?"
Xue Jinglan was stunned, and Chu Qianqian frowned and thought for a few seconds and shook his head, "I don't worry about Lan Lan's safety. The second thing is that Lan Lan stays in the capital, and there is always a concern in my heart that I can't let go of. It's a good thing for me. "
Xue Jinglan looked at Chu Qianqian stupidly, then at the old lady, "Grandma, what on earth are you talking about?"
The old lady reached out and pulled Xue Jinglan into her arms, and said with a smile, "Silly girl, grandma is talking about when you and Xiang Xiang will get married."
Xue Jinglan immediately lost her mind to ask other questions.
The pretty face was hiding in the old lady's arms, but her eyes peeked at Chu Qianqian from time to time.
Chu Qianqian smiled, and after thinking for a while, he sat on the sofa and said, "We might as well wait until Lan Lan celebrates her 18th birthday. If I happen to be in the capital, I will get married.
When she is pregnant with her first child, I can rest assured that her grandmother, mother-in-law, and aunt are here. "
The old lady laughed with satisfaction. Xue Jinglan's ears turned red with embarrassment, but she surprisingly didn't insist on saying she didn't want to marry.
In the evening, after Mr. Xue, his father-in-law-to-be, his mother-in-law, and his two uncles came back, when they heard that Chu Xiangqian planned to marry Xue Jinglan, the whole family immediately smiled and discussed what they needed to prepare.
You can also choose the day to receive the certificate and hold the wedding reception.
The last date was determined to be the seventh day of the tenth lunar month, but the wedding banquet only involved inviting the two families to sit down and have a meal together, so as not to cause trouble.
When Chu Qianqian realized that he was really going to get married, he suddenly felt worried and faintly afraid.
Fortunately, he knows more than most people in this era. He knows that this is premarital phobia, and it is still more than half a year before the seventh day of the tenth lunar month, which is enough for him to adjust his mentality and marry Xue Jinglan with peace of mind.
As for whether to take Xue Jinglan to Hong Kong Island after marriage, think carefully. Before 65 years, it would have been better for my daughter-in-law to stay in the capital.
I have had these five years, which is enough time to truly establish a foothold in Hong Kong Island.
After dinner, the old lady, mother-in-law and Xiao Laner went to clear away the dishes, while Chu Xiangqian followed the four young and old men of the Xue family into the old man's study.
Xue Xueli waited for Chu Xiangqian and Xue Jianguo to pour tea for everyone, and then asked, "I heard from an old friend that you had another conflict with someone on Hong Kong Island?"
Xue Xiaomin and Xue Jianrong were stunned and looked at Chu Qianqian and Xue Jianguo in surprise.
Xue Jianguo hesitated for a long time and said, "It's disciplined, you can't say it." Chu Xiangqian immediately became the object of scrutiny by his father-in-law and uncle.
Chu Xiangqian also understood in his heart that the old man deliberately told him that he and Xue Jianguo were the only two people in the family who knew about his affairs.
She also vaguely reminded herself, don't think that if you stay in Hong Kong Island, you will feel that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and you will do things that are sorry for Lan Lan.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Grandpa, uncle, eldest brother, if someone wants my life, of course I will kill him first. And I am reasonable about that matter, and I also spent some money afterwards to appease all the forces. , and also used the opportunity to wipe out the forces left by the enemy."
Xue Jianrong was leading the troops and didn't have much opinion on this. He was just worried that Chu Qianqian would have too many grudges and would be in trouble for his safety.
The attitude of the father-in-law Xue Xiaomin was different. He wanted to advise Chu Qianqian not to fight and kill at every turn, but before he could say anything, the old man nodded and said.
"Since there is no more trouble, let's not talk about it. The boss asked me to ask you, what is the reason for your sudden return this time?"
Chu Xiangqian had long thought that someone would ask him this kind of question, but he still pretended to think about it for a while.
Then he said, "I spent 10 gold bars to buy the approximate location of a white tiger from a Nanyang businessman. And by chance, I sold the white tiger to a nobleman in England.
This time I came back except to visit relatives, and it also misled the outside world. "
Xue Jianguo asked hurriedly, "How much can it be sold for?"
Chu Xiangqian didn't hide anything this time and said with a smile, "We agreed on 300,000 pounds."
"How many?"
The father-in-law stood up excitedly, "Is it really 300,000 pounds, not 300,000 Hong Kong dollars?"
Chu Qianqian smiled and said, "Uncle, a purebred horse can be sold for millions, or even millions of pounds. After this calculation, a white tiger that will be unique in England in the future is not even as good as one of our horse's legs." .”
"This, this", no matter how knowledgeable the four of them are, Xue Xueli and his grandson cannot understand why one horse can be worth the income of the steel rolling mill for 20 to 30 years.
However, this 300,000 pounds must be reported to the superiors.
Since Chu Xiangqian said it, he naturally wanted to exchange with the mainland.
As for giving it away for free, that's impossible.
So as not to use myself as a cash machine in the future, and the money cannot be given directly to pounds, so as not to be too obvious and easily detected by England and the United States.
When the Xue family's grandparents heard that Chu Qianqian wanted to exchange all the money for gold, they couldn't help but have a headache and became entangled.
300,000 pounds is equivalent to 1.2 million U.S. dollars. If converted into a Chinese currency, it would be 5.54 million.
Based on the current price of 2,200 to 2,400 for a large yellow croaker, even if it costs 2,400 yuan a piece, Chu would still have to pay 2,300 for it.
If you replace it with small yellow croakers, it would cost 23,000.
In grams, 23,000 times 31.25 is 718,750 grams.
Equivalent to 718.75 kilograms.
In the end, Xue Xueli was the first to calm down, frowned and asked, "What do you want so much gold for?"
Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "These days, pounds and US dollars are the most popular among capital and have the highest credibility. But if 300,000 pounds is given to the mainland, I can't bring 300,000 pounds of industrial products to sell on Hong Kong Island, right?"
If that's the case, as soon as the thing appears on Hong Kong Island, I will immediately become the target of surveillance by the Yingguo and Miguo.
From now on, let alone continue to make money, it will be difficult to stay in Hong Kong Island stably.
As for agricultural products, the mainland itself is short of them, so it’s better not to import them from outside. "
As soon as Xue Xiaomin heard this, his thoughts of getting some credit were immediately given up.
And Chu Xiangqian was right. In the long run, his safety must be the most important.
Chu Xiangqian naturally knew that it was impossible for the mainland to give him so much gold at once.
He smiled and said, "It doesn't have to be all gold. It can also be the best chicken bloodstone, field yellow stone, mutton fat, field jade, and ruby sapphire. It's just best to give me half of the gold, so as not to affect my future plans."
"Plan", Xue Xueli asked hurriedly, "What is your plan?"
Chu Xiangqian was secretly happy. No matter how sophisticated you are, how scheming and calculating you are, when you encounter something that you are not good at or even don't understand, you are basically no different from a rookie.
"I plan to go into the entertainment industry. First of all, there are not many competitors in this industry, and it has opened up the Nanyang film market. It's hard to say how much I will make, but I am very sure of protecting my capital.
Second, in the eyes of the British, it is not a key industry.
The third point is the most difficult, but as long as you are familiar with the movie industry, there is a great chance to enter the field of newspapers and TV stations as the box office of movies increases.
Once my idea is successful, even if I cannot explicitly think about the mainland in my attitude in the future, I will be able to reduce the power of public opinion hostile to the mainland because I have occupied a certain proportion of the public opinion market in Hong Kong Island.
Even when necessary, a fair and objective attitude is already considered a victory for the mainland. "
The two brothers, Xue Jianrong and Xue Jianguo, still didn't understand what Chu Xiangqian meant.
I was still thinking about why it was my side's victory if it wasn't on my side.
But Xue Xueli and Xue Xiaomin were different. The Red Party had already realized the importance of propaganda when they were playing hide-and-seek with the Fruit Party in the south, and they had done a pretty good job.
He immediately realized that Chu Xiangqian's role was far greater than he had imagined before.
When I heard Chu Xiangqian say that he was already preparing to shoot a Kung Fu movie, he could start filming as soon as he returned to Hong Kong and the funds were in place.
Xue Xueli had no intention of continuing the conversation, so he took the phone and made a call.
Not long after, Chu Xiangqian came out to an office he had visited last time and met the only person in charge of his files.
The two talked in detail late into the night, and finally agreed on conditions that at least Chu Xiangqian felt satisfied with.
One hundred kilograms of the last Changhua chicken bloodstone, one hundred kilograms of the best Shoushan Tianhuang, one hundred kilograms of mutton fat and Tianyu made Chu Xiangqian's heart beat fast just thinking about it.
Not even caring about the prices of these three kinds of jade at this time, he agreed to offset 150,000 pounds.
In the future, the best bloodstone with bright blood color will cost 50,000 to 100,000 per gram, and the less expensive ones can also be purchased for 30,000 per gram.
Just these 100,000 grams of the highest grade chicken blood stone will be worth three to five billion Chinese coins in the future.
Of course, high-grade bloodstone is now as valuable as gold. Since the Whip Dynasty, it has been the first choice for royal families and dignitaries to engrave seals.
At this time, 150,000 pounds is also very valuable, but considering inflation, the appreciation and preservation rate of this kind of top-quality jade is much better than that of gold.
And it’s hard to find.
Naturally, we need to get these jade stones first. In the future, I will continue to buy real estate on Hong Kong Island when I make more money.
After all, there are many houses in Hong Kong Island, but top-quality jade is hard to find.
Besides, I still have 5 million Hong Kong dollars in cash hidden in a secret warehouse by Lai Hao.
For the time being, there is indeed no shortage of funds.
In principle, the mainland will pay the remaining 150,000 pounds in gold, but this matter will take time to consider.
Chu Xiangqian was not in a hurry, since Bai Hu hadn't made a deal yet.
Even if the deal doesn't go through, he can still buy the 300 kilograms of three kinds of jade with 2.4 million Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to 150,000 pounds.
But in this way, the importance that the superiors attach to themselves has once again increased by several levels.
The person in charge of his own information said very bluntly that the thin, kind leader already knew about him.
He also specifically asked him to say that everything is about safety.
