Eating seafood hotpot in winter, drinking aged rice wine, and pairing it with some delicious snacks will make everyone feel warm and comfortable.
"Li Mo, I heard that something good is coming for you?" Li Yanxin poured him a glass of rice wine, "You'll be fine if you drink less."
"We have decided to get engaged on New Year's Day. My grandpa said that we are not planning to entertain guests, so we can just have a meal together as a family. I will treat you all separately later. By the way, when will you do your good deed?"
"We plan to get a marriage certificate on May 20 next year, not hold a wedding, and go to a resort for our honeymoon."
"Boss, are you getting engaged?"
The person in charge of a company quickly picked up his wine glass and said respectfully: "Congratulations, boss."
"Haha, thank you, but you all know my drinking capacity, so I won't reply to everyone one by one. Let's have a drink together. I wish our company's business will become more and more prosperous, and everyone's income and bonus will increase month by month."
Others stood up and raised their glasses to celebrate.
"Sit down, just be casual when eating, and order whatever you want."
"thank you boss."
While they were eating seafood hot pot, in a high-end Western restaurant in another place, Brown Bear was restless facing his girlfriend Mei Fang's family and relatives. Her parents were so good at playing that they almost called all the seven aunts and eight aunts over.
"Daxiong, I heard from Fang that you just graduated from high school?"
"Yes, aunt, my academic performance is average, but my physical fitness is good, so I joined the army to serve the motherland."
Mei Fang's aunt wore a pair of glasses and was on the thin side. She looked at the brown bear with a critical look.
"Your hometown is in the countryside of Huizhou. Is the elderly at home okay?"
"Auntie, my parents are both in good health, and my sister will take the college entrance examination next year. With her grades at the top of the class, she is sure to get into a good university."
Beads of sweat appeared on Brown Bear's forehead. Mei Fang said a little unhappy: "Auntie, Big Bear came here specifically to meet my parents today. Don't keep asking questions like you are checking your household registration."
"Fang, we are all doing this for your own good. Daxiong needs a degree but not a degree, and a household registration but not a household registration. You can't have a place to stay after you get married, right?" Another middle-aged man who looked slightly fat said in a deep voice, " Look at your cousin. He earned 15,000 yuan a month right after graduating from a prestigious university. Now he earns more than 30,000 yuan a month with bonuses and the like. Our family has a house and a car, and we live a worry-free life. You always You can't live with him without a fixed place, right? And you plan to let him marry you and live with your parents in the future? "
"Uncle, we are all still young, and our days will get better and better in the future." Mei Fang wanted to explode, but was stopped by the brown bear.
"Brother-in-law, Fang and I have prepared a wedding room. It's close to where she works. It's called Lakeside No. 1. It has an area of 152 square meters. However, after the designer's re-planning and decoration, the usable area can reach 180 square meters. Around. My household registration is being processed, and I should be able to officially settle in Kyoto early next year."
There was a clang, and the knife in the hand of the uncle who was eating steak fell on the plate. He looked at the honest-looking brown bear, frowned and said, "You are a retired soldier with a poor family background. How can you afford to buy a house after working for just over a year? I know the average price of Lakeside No. 1 community very well. It’s 60,000 yuan, can you afford it? How much do you earn per month?”
"My monthly salary is not very high. The basic salary is only 40,000. But with bonuses and subsidies, I can get as little as 60,000 to 70,000 a month, and sometimes as much as hundreds of thousands a month. I don't remember the details. , the salary and bonus were paid directly to my salary card by the company."
"so tall?"
The aunt and uncle of the Mei family asked almost at the same time, with disbelief on their faces.
Mei's parents were also surprised. Didn't their daughter talk about his security work before? How can you earn so much in a month?
"Daxiong, can you really earn that much every month? What company do you work for? You can't lie to us. We will know whether these things are true or false as soon as we check them." Aunt Mei asked with a cold face, are you not talking about it? How could a company employee, just a security guard, have such a high salary?
"Big Bear..." Mei Fang kicked him with her feet and winked at him a little anxiously. This man was usually quite honest, but why could he lose control of his mouth at the critical moment?
"Fang, please stay aside." Mei Fang's father interrupted, "Daxiong, how much do you repay the loan every month?"
"Uncle, that house was rewarded to me by my boss. It was a one-time payment. The two certificates have been obtained and placed in the safe at home. From now on, I will hand over my salary to Fang for safekeeping, and I will follow my boss to make good money. Just support the family.”
"Da Xiong, what does your boss do?" Uncle Mei couldn't help but ask. He could see that what Da Xiong said was not a lie.
"My boss is a lecturer in the History Department of Peking University and the boss behind the Millennium Shengzang Group. The Xiang Yu treasure and the Yunshan Neolithic cultural site were all found by my boss. There is also the return of the Yuanmingyuan national treasure, which is also my boss's. It’s a handiwork, hasn’t the restoration project of the Old Summer Palace in Yanjiao started? It’s also the handiwork of my boss.”
The brown bear became more and more excited as he talked. When he mentioned the boss, he straightened his back. There are even more astonishing things that he didn't mention, such as the golden treasure brought back from Burma, and the more than 100 top-notch national treasures just won yesterday, each of which can be regarded as a treasure.
If you talk too much, I'm afraid they won't be able to digest it and get choked up.
Yes, the Mei family were really dumbfounded. They knew everything Big Bear said clearly. They had also walked around a few times, and they couldn't move once they entered.
"Daxiong, why didn't Fang tell us these things?" Aunt Mei's family was stunned for a while before asking in a gentle tone.
"Auntie, my boyfriend is Daxiong, but I'm not his boss. Why do I mention his boss?"
In fact, Mei Fang didn't know much information, because Brown Bear rarely talked about the boss's specific matters in front of her, and he was still very tight-lipped.
Several elders of the Mei family looked at each other, not knowing how to ask further.
At this time, several more people came into the restaurant, with their female companions, talking and laughing. One of them glanced at the brown bear inadvertently, paused for a moment to take a closer look, and hurriedly whispered to the female companion beside him: "You go find a seat and sit down first. I see an acquaintance, go over and say hello."
After finishing speaking, he straightened his coat and felt that there was no problem before he walked to the brown bear and said respectfully: "Excuse me, are you Mr. Xiong of the Millennium Shengzang Group?"
Everyone at the table looked at the brown bear at the same time. He looked back, confused and had no idea where he had seen it before. However, out of politeness, he stood up and said, "I'm not Mr. Xiong, I'm just doing something to help the boss."
"Hello, Mr. Xiong, this is my business card. The sports car you ordered from our company has arrived. You can pick it up tomorrow. When you left after placing the order that day, I happened to arrive at the company and only watched from a distance. I glanced at you, so I took the liberty to come over and say hello."
"It's here so soon, okay, my girlfriend and I will pick it up tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, I'm waiting for you at the company. If you are sorry for disturbing me, please use it slowly."
After he left, Mei Fang asked, "Why did you order a sports car?"
The brown bear scratched his head and said, "This is for you. Use it when you go to and from get off work. I originally wanted to give you a surprise tomorrow, but I didn't expect to meet the boss over there."
"Such a waste."
Although Mei Fang said it was a waste, she felt sweet in her heart.
After dinner, the aunt and uncle of the Mei family began to feel restless, always feeling that Big Bear would take revenge on them in the future.
Next, several more people came over and handed business cards to the brown bear in a very respectful manner. The aunt and uncle of the Mei family are more low-key. How about you being from Kyoto? So what if your son or daughter graduates from a prestigious school? Now comparing them, the brown bear has already thrown them all thousands of miles away.
Seeing that they finally calmed down, the brown bear secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had passed this test.
After Li Mo finished eating the seafood hotpot, someone was already waiting for him outside, ready to drive him back.
"Viper, why are you here?"
"Mr. Chen said you had a little drink, so he asked me to come and take you back."
"I drank some rice wine, but I also drank a lot of ice water. I really didn't have much of a drunken reaction today. But you are here, then you drive."
On the way back, Viper smiled and said: "Boss, Brown Bear has brought us good news. He has passed the interview today and is expected to get married next year."
"Don't just be happy for him. Among the six of you, Xiaojun is going to be a father next year, and Brown Bear is stable. The remaining four of you should hurry up. Work is work, and your own happiness should be paid attention to. The company If you find someone suitable, just digest it internally. If you don’t find someone suitable, go on blind dates. With your current conditions, are you still worried about not being able to find a wife? Really, I have prepared the wedding room for you two. "
"Boss, we will work hard." Viper buzzed, feeling very moved in his heart. The boss really treated them as brothers and never treated the six of them badly.
"The Chinese New Year is just over a month away. Are you going back this year?"
"If we want to go back, our elders are also urging us to go back for a blind date."
"It's good. I'll drive back in the company car then. If anyone can bring a girlfriend next year, I'll give him a big red envelope."
. . . . . .
In the next few days, Li Mo went in and out between Beijing University and his home. He lived a nine-to-five life here, and everything seemed very peaceful, but the outside world had long been in trouble.
Especially in the Yanjiao area, Xiang Yu Treasure Museum and Guyunxuan Museum have been closed for several days due to suspension of business adjustments. The restoration and reconstruction project of the Old Summer Palace, which attracted the most public attention, was suddenly interrupted. All the workers were dismissed, and even the machines began to be transported away and evacuated from the site one after another.
The key is that there is no official official notification yet, so various gossips spread and become more and more intense.
Li Mo turns a blind eye to what's going on outside the window and lets you guys make trouble. Let's see how long you can hold on.
this day.
"In the last class, I told you about the characteristics of porcelain fired from official kilns in various stages of the Ming Dynasty. In this class, I will tell you about the representative works of Ming Dynasty porcelain one by one. Before I talk about it formally , you can ask questions first, if you have any doubts in the previous class and if you don’t understand, you can ask questions.”
Li Mo walked off the platform and looked at the students in the lecture theater, dumbfounded. When the class was opened to the public, it was full. Later, after receiving complaints, the first 150 students were selected. As a result, the number of students attending the class now exceeds 300, and it seems that there is a trend of continuing to grow.
It's not appropriate to drive them away. After all, they say they come here with the attitude of seeking knowledge. How can studious children drive them away cruelly.
So it was agreed that he could attend classes, but he could not delay other classes. If it was found out that he had skipped other classes to attend his elective courses, the consequences would be serious.
The students who were added later swore the promise.
Okay, you are all eager to learn, so I will tell you more.
"Teacher Li, I have a question?"
A delicate-looking female classmate raised her hand.
"Please say?"
"You talked about some characteristics of Ming Dynasty blue and white porcelain in the last class. When I went to the old street last Saturday, I met a street stall with several pieces of blue and white porcelain on it, so I compared it based on some of the characteristics you mentioned. , I bought a blue and white porcelain from it, would you please help me take a look?"
Li Mo took a few more glances at the girl, who was the one who asked Tang Sancai whether it was pottery or porcelain.
"Okay, take it out and let me take a look."
The woman carefully took out a small blue and white jar from a bag at her feet. The students around her looked at the jar curiously.
Li Mo walked over, picked it up and looked at it carefully, and then asked calmly: "How much did you spend on it?"
"Three hundred and forty dollars."
"Don't try to pick up leaks again with a sense of luck. This time is a lesson. Put the jar on my desk first, and you can take it back to the dormitory after class. It can be used to arrange flowers or anything."
Li Mo put the small blue and white jar on the podium, but his strength was much weaker when he put it down.
The classmates all understood what Li Mo meant. It seemed to be a fake. Think about it. You have just listened to a few lectures and you are thinking about picking up the missing things based on the pictures. It is simply a daydream.
"Are there any other students who have questions? If not, then we will officially start the content of this lesson."
Li Mo turned on the large-screen projection and projected a photo onto it so that everyone could see it clearly.
He talked about the underglaze red porcelain from the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the plum vase from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the chicken jar cup from the Chenghua period, etc.
Before I knew it, the class was over.
"There will be the last two classes next month, and then there will be the exam. This is my first lecture this semester, so the exam content will not be difficult, so don't worry too much, students. Okay, get out of class is over."
The students walked out of the classroom one by one, and Li Mo slowly sorted out his lecture notes.
"Teacher Li."
The female classmate came to him and shouted softly.
"Put this little blue and white jar away carefully and don't touch it."
Well-
The female classmate was stunned for a moment, then reacted with excitement on her face.
"An authentic small blue-and-white porcelain jar from the official kiln during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. Judging from the shape, it should be used to store water. When you take it back, be sure not to actually store water for growing flowers. This small blue-and-white jar will be worth at least three dollars if it is auctioned. More than 100,000. The first time I missed it, my record was pretty good, better than the first time I picked it up."
Li Mo smiled and walked outside holding the lesson plan.
