Chapter 2377
Eating Fish Reveals Wealth and Poverty
What He Yuzhu didn't know was that He Daqing had also gone out with Chen Wu for a while.
Of course, He Daqing didn't care about the money; he just thought it was fun.
However, on that occasion, He Daqing almost got beaten up.
As mentioned earlier, Chen Wu and his group generally don't make fakes; they only create antique-looking sets to complete the collection.
This thing is quite technically advanced.
What year was it? What style did it have?
To complete a set and sell it at a high price, you have to modify all the small details on the new items to match the style of the old ones.
There are specific considerations regarding textures and decorations.
This is probably because these days, anyone who dares to raid a house must be an expert in the antique business.
Therefore, counterfeits are too easily detected, while artificially aging is much easier to detect.
At least even if a customer realizes it's not a complete set, they'll just point it out and try to negotiate the price.
As long as the item isn't fake,
At most, you can just say you got it mixed up and that's it.
He Daqing took Chen Wu's job that time, and when he lay down on that recliner, he looked even more affluent than Chen Wu.
After all, he's the patriarch at home, with Da Feng and Xiao Feng serving him.
But the customer who came back was also strange; he only glanced at He Daqing's clothes and appearance.
While greeting He Daqing, I sniffed his neck.
They insisted that He Daqing was not short of money.
He Yuzhu sat under the grape trellis, listening to Yushui describe He Daqing's bewildered expression, and couldn't help but laugh heartily.
If it weren't for my brother-in-law, Xiao Ren, intervening, they really wouldn't have let that go so easily.
Xiao Ren found out, and so did the rain.
As for how to deal with the rainwater, He Daqing and He Yuzhu didn't care.
As long as the old man wasn't injured, he couldn't be bothered to settle scores with them later.
It's a very simple matter; that person confirmed that He Daqing didn't seem like a destitute person who wanted to sell his family property.
But that person must have really taken a liking to one or more things in the house.
The people who keep saying they want to deal with He Daqing are just using it as a bargaining tactic by those old foxes.
These days, people in these industries are all skirting the line.
The man was thinking of making a big scene, and might even threaten to report it to the police station. He was fixated on He Daqing and his gang, and dared not go through the police station.
"...The truly impoverished are just like the remnants of the old regime."
Even if they were so poor they had to sell their wives.
Before going out, they would wipe their mouths with pigskin to get some oil on them.
This is to show that they can afford to eat meat at home.
They might actually be people who can't even afford to eat bran.
Such people may appear glamorous on the surface, but they are actually quite stingy at heart.
"Our dad definitely can't pull it off!" He Yuzhu explained with a light laugh.
"Why?" Rainwater was still completely bewildered!
Today isn't a big day; He Yuzhu just wanted to have some peace and quiet, so he went to Yushui's house.
You know what, ever since the Rainwater family replanted grapevines in their backyard,
Lying down here, that familiar feeling from back then is back.
He Yuzhu never imagined that he would be forced to live a life where he dared not return home.
There's nothing else to it, it's just that there are more and more murals on the walls near the big market.
Before I knew it, I was in the newspaper.
Now, it's really become a hit.
The first large-scale electronics trading market in Beijing.
This is the name of the project that He Yuzhu mentioned during an interview with the Sijiu City Evening News.
This thing instantly elevates your style to the max.
What followed was strong support from higher authorities, the municipal government, and other relevant departments.
They even fenced off a piece of land next to it and suspended the construction of a dormitory building there.
This is in preparation for the second phase of the large market project.
The factory that had already laid the foundation for its dormitory building was the one that suffered the most.
The city government will definitely provide compensation.
But the young people in that factory who are waiting to be allocated housing and get married are probably cursing.
Once the market heats up, all sorts of invitations and offers come in.
There are some relationships that even He Yuzhu has to give face to.
What He Yuzhu can protect now is half of the stalls inside the school.
There were also the two he promised to Xu Damao.
As for those surnamed Zhang or Wang, they are completely unqualified.
They've all been reserved by people at a higher level.
There will be many follow-up problems, such as some people still using the same methods as government agencies to do business, and He Yuzhu will definitely have to talk to them.
In this huge market, He Yuzhu is in a precarious position; he can only succeed, not fail.
However, what He Yuzhu was trying to avoid wasn't this problem, but rather that some people had their eyes on the half of the stalls that He Yuzhu had rented out on campus.
On this point, He Yuzhu really can't go back on his word.
Those people can approach the family members of faculty and staff who have already agreed to leases to discuss subletting; that's their private business.
Anyway, He Yuzhu definitely won't agree to anything.
Of course, if someone were to give up their stall, which is now a goldmine, for a small benefit, He Yuzhu wouldn't stop them.
The money has already been delivered to their doorstep. It's obvious that with this level of popularity, they'll definitely make money doing business in the big market later.
What could He Yuzhu do if those people wanted to give up?
He Yuzhu glanced at the still dark green leaves above his head before continuing, "Some people's dignity is only on the surface."
The outer garment may look sleek, but the inside might be patched up with patches.
Or there's still that old grime on your neck that you haven't rubbed off!
Is our father that kind of person?
His outer clothes, underwear, even his cloth shoes and socks, were all brand-name products.
It wasn't new; it had been washed several times and was thoroughly cleaned.
Who would dare say that someone like that is short of money?
"Huh? Those people can be this meticulous?" Rainwater has witnessed something truly remarkable today.
What she thinks about most to this day is that the customer might have seen He Daqing before.
But I never imagined that someone could tell if a person is really rich just by looking at their underwear and how clean it is.
"What's so special about this? In the past, when we went to a restaurant to discuss business, we wouldn't order anything else but a big fish."
"The first person to eat the crescent-shaped meat with their chopsticks is a truly wealthy person." He Yuzhu casually told Yushui a little story he had heard.
Although my sister is now so fat she doesn't look like a human anymore.
It's not as fun as it was when I was a child.
But in He Yuzhu's eyes, she was still that little baby who would bury her head between his thighs and wiggle her bottom.
It's quite fun to tease them occasionally.
"What about the poor? What do the poor eat?" Rainwater was indeed curious.
"Poor people eat the meat from the back of the fish, where the meat is thick."
"The family with a modest income eats the fish maw first, because the meat there is tender..." He Yuzhu simply told his sister everything he knew from hearsay.
Sure enough, by evening, a braised fish appeared on Yu Shui's dining table.
After the fish was served, it looked at everyone mysteriously.
He Yuzhu wasn't going to play along; he simply picked up a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into his mouth.
However, Xiao Ren and Lao Er, who were sitting at the table, both reached for the fish tail!
"Huh? Bro, what's the point of eating fish tails?" Rain was confused again. (End of Chapter)
