My mother is very confused about the old driver not understanding the car.
Zhang Xingming said: "This car is different from our domestic cars. It is automatic and does not need to change gears. They have never seen it."
My mother laughed and said, "I thought the cars were the same. What is gear shifting? Is it just that the iron stick next to the driver breaking back and forth?" Zhang Xingming nodded and said, "Yes, that's the fun, it's just that kind of fun. There is no one in our car. They were stunned as soon as they got on the car, but it was so fun."
"How about you drive?"
"Automatic gears are the automatic shifting of the machine. You just need to give oil. You can leave if you don't give oil. You stop if you don't give oil. You are good at learning. If you have time tomorrow, you and my dad will drive it. In two years, you will drive it out for you to play."
My mother shook her head and said, "I don't do it. It's so tiring to learn that game. It's so good to go out and play and sit and drive others." Zhang Xingming gave his mother a thumbs up. My mother was wise. She said that driving was really tiring, especially when she ran long distances, she came back because of this.
While speaking, Mu Youde and the other three came back. Wang Hai carried the bottle of xo in his hand and said, "Fortunately, he went there. He threw a bottle of wine in the car. It was frozen. If he didn't take it out, he would blow it up." He put the wine on the kang table.
Mu Youde said: "You have to find a place to add some fuel. Is it far away to go tomorrow? Don't run out of fuel halfway. It's almost halfway through this trip." Zhang Xingming said: "You can't add it now. Add it tomorrow before leaving tomorrow. The automatic transmission car is a bit of fuel. It's okay." In winter, driving in the snow costs a lot more oil than usual, so you often have to run with a large throttle and a small step.
My mother picked up the xo and looked at it and asked, "What kind of wine is all foreign characters?"
Zhang Xingming looked at the wine and said, "Rendaoma xo, French wine is not delicious at all, it's expensive. It's ready to give it to people. It's open later. You can try it. Anyway, I can't get used to this taste."
At this time, imported wine was mainly cognac, which was to use technological means to extract the sugar from the grapes.
This is not very consistent with the eating habits of Chinese people, so the way to drink red wine and Sprite is actually to supplement the sugar, and it feels easy to drink.
No matter what happened, some of China's own wineries spent a lot of money to learn from others and also made cognacs. They couldn't sell them, and they didn't understand what was going on, and they felt that they were really inferior to others.
But this is normal. In that era, the Chinese people's universal view was that foreign countries were more advanced than us, so there were often jokes about using gold for iron, and I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. For example, the technology of the father of rice was given to others for free, but the result was...
...
My mother asked: "How much does this bottle cost?"
Zhang Xingming thought for a while and said, "It should be hundreds of times in China at this time, and Xianggang is cheaper."
My mother said a few times, "Just this bottle of water? Why are foreign things so expensive?"
Zhang Xingming laughed and said, "Foreign countries come to China and have to collect taxes. Tariffs are like cars. If cars from other countries want to enter our country, if their cars are worth 100,000 yuan, the national tax will be 450,000 yuan. In addition, transportation costs, personnel will start capital and other things. When they are sold, the people will buy 700,000 to 800,000 yuan. Foreign countries will also collect taxes when they go out. This is a way to protect their own enterprises, and the tariffs will gradually be lowered."
"Then will the country charge taxes for those things?" My mother immediately thought of her own shop.
"If you collect it, how can you not collect it? But it is less than normal tariffs. We are a Hong Kong businessman and have some treatment." Zhang Xingming replied.
My mother put the wine on the table and wiped her hands. When she entered the room, the outer wall of the bottle was covered with water, and said, "That's okay, it's still useful for you to make that passport." Zhang Xingming rolled his eyes and said, "It's a little useful, it's very useful, right? But it's useless to call this to my mother. She'll say whatever she wants. Pick up the wine and put it on the heating to make it melt faster.
The three sisters in the family were going back and came over to say hello to my mother. The younger brother ran over and hugged her mother's thigh and acted coquettishly: "Mom, I'm hungry, mom, I'm hungry, you touched her, your belly was shrunken."
My mother picked up my younger brother and kissed him, and said, "Oh, I'm hungry for my old son. Let's go and scold me. Why did I cook so slowly? It made my old son's stomach hungry." She carried my younger brother to the kitchen.
By the way, Zhang Xingming and his brother did not act coquettish since childhood, but the younger brother was in his thirties in his previous life and had to hug his mother and kiss her a few times. Zhang Xingming looked so stingy.
After a while, my mother came over and called for dinner. Zhang Xingming gave Mu Youde and the other three to the kitchen. Eight people sat down to have dinner. When Wang Hai saw that the table was full of beef and mutton, he looked at Zhang Xingming gratefully and said to his father: "Brother, you are tired, I am quite troublesome."
My father smiled and said, "It's nothing. My family also likes to eat beef and mutton. Don't be polite. You can eat it all. I'm not good at cooking. Don't choose whether it's delicious or not."
Several people gave in a moment, started to eat it with their chopsticks. The brother stuffed meat into his mouth and said, "The beef is so hard." Zhang Xingming glanced at the brother and said helplessly: "You eat it's mutton, and you can't even stuff it in your mouth."
Everyone laughed. In addition to the oil-free meat used to make it, it is essentially put into the pot directly, so the meat in Northeast China tastes a bit hard, unlike the meat of South China, which also needs to be slurry and tastes very tender.
After eating for a while, Zhang Xingming ran into the house and took the wine from the heating, took it to the kitchen, took out a bottle opener from the cabinet and opened the wine, and said, "Come on, try this famous French wine."
My father got up and brought a few small bowls. Zhang Xingming poured half a bowl for his mother and father, filled the three of them with Mu Youde, and poured half a bowl for his brother. The younger brother quarreled: "I want it too, I want it too." Zhang Xingming looked at his younger brother, poured him a small sip and said: "This is wine, not soda, I'm drunk."
Everyone picked up the wine and put it under their noses to smell it. My mother said, "It smells quite nice, it doesn't hit my nose." Speaking of which, cognacs like xo are really good to smell, and the foreigners' alcohol is all about the taste.
My father also smelled it, took a sip, frowned, and said, "It smells very fragrant, it's too bad. Forget it, I can't drink this game." He put the wine bowl aside and stopped drinking it. Zhang Xingming laughed and said, "Dad, you won't enjoy it. Rich people like to drink this foreign wine, and their identity is like."
My mother was better than my dad. After drinking half a bowl of wine, she said, "The first sip is bad, but the latter is OK, but it is still not good. Don't come back with this game in the future and give it to someone."
Zhang Xingming gave a tip: "This foreign bar, especially this wine, needs to taste, do you know what it means to taste? Just shake it slowly, smell it gently, and drink it bit by bit, and it will not be so difficult. Chinese people are not used to drinking foreign wine. The main reason is that we Chinese people pay attention to drinking big bowls and pouring them into one sip. But it is wrong to drink foreign wine like this. Mom and Dad should drink some of this wine often. You are all fat. Drinking this wine can lower blood pressure, blood lipids and soften blood vessels, and is also useful for protecting the skin. People call it beauty wine."
My mother said, "Is that so? Then I can drink more, pour some more for me." Zhang Xingming laughed, took the bottle and poured half a bowl of my mother, and said, "I don't feel anything before drinking this wine, it's very strong. Mom, don't get drunk."
My mother's alcohol tolerance is much better than my father. Seeing that my father took that sip and his face turned red. Zhang Xingming remembered that his father's best experience was to go to someone else's house to have a gift. His deskmate drank white wine. He smelled it next to him and was helped home.
After drinking and eating, my mother took my younger brother to visit Sun's house. My brother went to the house to do homework. Zhang Xingming asked Mu Youde and the other three to enter the house to watch TV. He helped his father to collect the table, wash dishes and wipe the table. Mu Youde sighed and said to Wang Hai and Li Sangui: "Look, this is a billionaire, he is more diligent than us."
Wang Hai said: "I don't know if I'm so tired, I can't tell that this family is so rich. If I want to say that life has to be like this, this is the life of a human being. Those people I met before are a little confused." Mu Youde said: "I plan to quit when I go back and drive for Boss Xiao Zhang. It's comfortable to follow him and the car is also comfortable, hehe."
