Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Song Yang bared his teeth, and said with a dry smile, "It depends on people and skills. My elder brother, father, and grandpa can do it, but I can't anyway."

When he was learning jigsaw puzzles with his eldest brother Song Guohui, that painful experience lingered like a nightmare.

Fragments of some ancient books are often not damaged by man-made, but caused by moth decay due to long-term storage.

He really had no choice but to piece together the small pieces that were only the size of a grain of rice. It was really torturous.

Seeing Song Yang's expression that he couldn't bear to recall, Yang Chen gave him a sympathetic look. Thinking of the jigsaw puzzles of later generations, dozens of pieces are enough for people to endure. The scene in front of him is simply tingling.

Like the one in front of him, he really can't bear to look directly at it, it's not that he doesn't work hard, and it's not that he's impatient, it's just that this thing is really tormenting, just looking at it makes people feel toothache.

Of course, the repair of ancient books requires more patience and skill. In many cases, if the damage is too serious, you can only spell words. Anyway, you only need to piece together a complete piece of paper, and finally put the glue on it, and you can restore it to its integrity. .

In general, the damage is not too serious, and it only needs to be filled manually.

As the name implies, it is necessary to repair where it is broken, as long as the defect is not large, such as some wormholes, missing corners, etc., the repairer only needs to prepare the pulp of the corresponding color to the paper, and fill the missing parts. .

As for the damage is too serious, too many wormholes, the whole paper can't see clearly, then it can only be repaired.

Because the Yongle Encyclopedia cannot be disassembled and repaired, it is difficult to repair, so that Song Laozi has been busy for a year, and he has not repaired more than ten volumes of ancient books.

This person pays attention to the fact that the old is not as good as the new, because most people belong to the category of liking the new and loathing the old.

However, ancient books, which are inherited from the culture, pay attention to the new rather than the old, and the older the ancient books, the longer the history, the more valuable their content.

This is technical work, and ordinary people can't play it well, so Yang Chen just watched the excitement from the sidelines to satisfy his curiosity.

Chapter 630 Wangfujing

After staying in the study for a while, Yang Chen soon lost interest.

The new three years, the old three years, and the stitching and mending for another three years.

These ancient books are the same as clothes, 300 years old, 300 years old, mended, 300 years old, more than [-] years old, basically buried in the soil.

Regarding books, Yang Chen has no interest in collecting books.

In the words of Boss Ma in later generations, the books in the study are all for others to read.

Yang Chen agrees with this very much. Even among businessmen in this era, most of them can read the daily newspapers. They don't have time to read.

What needs to be supplemented by reading is always the subordinates, not the boss. If the boss knows everything and meddles in everything, what do employees need?

Hypocritical human beings like to wear masks to disguise themselves. The more successful a person is, the more he will show his best side, just like a child who needs to be praised.

Without staying in the study for too long, and without saying a word to Mr. Song, Yang Chen and Song Yang turned and left the study.

I believe that Father Song will convey his reasons for coming to Mr. Song one by one, and he just needs to wait for the result.

"Huh, what's this?" Back in the living room, Yang Chen couldn't help but let out a light sigh.

He Chaoqiong made a dumpling, put it in the palm of his hand, and brought it to Yang Chen, "Dumpling, can't you see it?"

Yang Chen rolled his eyes, "Of course I know it's dumplings, I mean, why is it red?"

To be honest, this is the first time he has seen red dumplings, don't they add some pigment, is there any pigment these days?Is it red ink?

"Guess?" He Chaoqiong said with a smile.

Yang Chen showed distress and said, "How much red ink did you add?"

"Red ink?" He Chaoqiong's eyes widened, "Can red ink be added to this food?" '

"Isn't it red ink?" Seeing He Chaoqiong's stunned expression, Yang Chen finally looked a lot better. It doesn't matter if it's not ink, pigment or something.

Decades later, the brighter the things that can be put in the mouth, the more pigments are added in it. The iron stomach of the Chinese is not a joke, but a result of accumulated practice over time.

It’s okay to drink waste oil every day, let alone a few drops of pigment, it’s like exercising in advance.

In order to prevent Yang Chen from continuing to make wild guesses, He Chaoqiong had no choice but to laugh and cry: "It's tomato juice. Aunt Song added tomato flavor when mixing the noodles."

"Ahem" Hearing the word 'tomato flavor', Yang Chen was always embarrassed. Thinking about it, it's true, tomato flavor is red.

The reason why he didn't think about it was mainly because in his memory, nine out of ten things with pure green and pollution-free stickers were fooling people.

Various additives, preservatives, and carcinogens are used openly by unscrupulous merchants, and everyone is like a guinea pig.

Those unscrupulous bosses who don't eat their own products will eventually eat other people's products, and no one can get rid of it.

Taking a closer look, seeing that the fillings in both pots are vegetarian, Yang Chen, who has always been fond of meat, raised his eyebrows, and asked curiously: "Why are the fillings in both pots vegetarian?"

This time, without waiting for He Chaoqiong to speak, Song Xue on the side answered, "Because it's vegetarian dumplings. Basically, vegetarian dumplings are eaten during the Chinese New Year in the north. Why? Do you want to eat meat?"

Yang Chen said arrogantly: "Well, as a carnivore, I'm not happy with meat."

The corner of Song Xue's mouth twitched, and she said flatly, "The dumplings are only vegetarian. If you want to eat meat, I'll give you a dozen big white steamed buns. You'll be hungry even if you're full."

"Uh..." Yang Chen choked for a moment, thinking of the big white steamed buns in Song Xue's mouth, they were tasteless, and with half a bottle of water, two or three steamed buns could really last a day, so he said with a dry smile: "Ha, then I It’s better to eat vegetarian dumplings, unfortunately, they are not stuffed with chives.”

He Chaoqiong's pretty face blushed when she heard this, she naturally knew what happened to the dumplings stuffed with leeks.

It's just that Song Xue and Song Yang, who hadn't heard of it before, were at a loss. They only thought that Yang Chen was too picky, what kind of stuffing should they share when eating dumplings.

Noon the next day

Wangfujing Street

The streets, which are already lively on weekdays, seem to welcome the New Year in advance. The whole street is full of gongs and drums, firecrackers are blasting, red flags are flying, and there are huge crowds of people...

After yesterday afternoon, at night, and at noon today, almost half of the people in the capital already knew about the opening of Carrefour.

Wangfujing Street is located in Dongcheng District. It has been named since the Ming Dynasty. It has been the most famous commercial pedestrian street in Beijing until later generations. It has a long history of hundreds of years and has always enjoyed the reputation of "Golden Street" in Beijing.

Since the reign of Xuantong, Wangfujing has become more and more prosperous. Many vendors and shops have gathered on both sides of the street. Today, many state-owned enterprises are concentrated here. Department stores, hardware stores, various restaurants and snack bars, and many time-honored brands are located here. .

The reason why Carrefour built the square here is not only because of the bustling streets, but also because of the tolerance here.

Not only many time-honored Chinese brands gather in Wangfujing in later generations, but also many world-renowned multinational companies and well-known brands gather here.

Those centuries-old shops have been vicissitudes with the passing of time, and their strong historical heritage has made them a must-see for Chinese and foreign visitors.

Trendy commercial buildings, large squares, full of modern atmosphere, make it keep up with the pace of the times, so that this ancient street with a history of hundreds of years has not disappeared from the public.

The combination of Chinese tradition and modern commercial culture is why Wangfujing is still unique in the capital after decades.

In recent years, with the reform and opening up, Wangfujing has developed rapidly, especially during the Chinese New Year period, when people buy new year's goods, there are more people.
