Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

The first-level chef certificate is the highest level in the assessment. It is really surprising that He Daqing's son can get the first-level certificate.

Deputy Factory Director Yang was also very lucky. He and the Secretary Factory Director had argued hard to keep He Daqing here. It was the right choice.

If He Daqing is retained, wouldn't it be possible to have a chance to connect with a first-class chef?

Although I have a very high level, it is not an easy task to find a first-level chef to cook for me in society. It can be said to be extremely difficult.

I am a big leader in this large factory with thousands of people, but in society, my face is not easy to use.

If He Daqing is left behind, there is a way to ask his son for help. After all, his eldest son also has to consider whether his father will offend the leader at the steel rolling mill.

Director Yang said happily: "Lao He, you have a good son. Can you ask your son to help you cook a table later?"

"this."

He Daqing was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Director Yang was a very high-level leader, and he even wanted to ask his son to cook.

"It should be okay. I'll talk to my son later."

"Okay, let's make an agreement then. I'll tell you the date in advance when the time comes."

Deputy Director Yang happily patted He Daqing on the shoulder. Sure enough, good people are rewarded.

No matter how high the price is, as long as you can hire a first-class chef to cook at your door, it is already a great thing.

Chinese people pay attention to eating and drinking, and discussing important matters is almost always done at the wine table. As long as you can find a good chef to help cook, it will be easier to negotiate.

He Daqing had something on his mind, so he came to He Yuzhu after get off work and told him the matter.

He Yuzhu said: "That's okay. As long as I have time, I can cook."

The public-private partnership was about to begin, and my apparent income suddenly dropped a lot. My time was also free, and I could take on some private work and earn more.

My level of cooking has reached the top level. As long as I am not looking for trouble, everyone will say hello to me.

In this way, I will also have extra income.

He Daqing was still worried that Zhuzi would not agree, which would cause him to lose face in front of Director Yang.

Seeing that he agreed, he felt relieved, and then asked: "That girl Zhaodi will get married soon. Xu Damao's mother asked me to make a banquet for them."

He Yuzhu nodded and said: "This is what you should do. Just do it. Give me a copy when you return."

"Okay, if you don't tell me, I will give you a gift. This is the tradition of our yard."

The two discussed it and He Daqing went back.

The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it came to the first day of He He Yongqiang's wedding. Although He Yuzhu did not cook for him, he also found a few juniors to help, which made Lao Hetou very satisfied.

On the first day, everyone had to sit down to eat. After all the helpers had left, He Yuzhu approached Lao Hetou.

"Uncle, you will get a wife tomorrow, are you happy?"

"I'm so happy, I'm so happy. If it weren't for your matchmaking, Yongqiang wouldn't have a wife until now!" Old Hetou smiled from ear to ear.

This was the moment He Yuzhu was waiting for, otherwise it would be none of his business whether He Yongqiang had a wife or not, Xu Zhaodi couldn't find a partner, and whether he could get married was none of his business.

"My Uncle He, where is the painting you promised me?"

Before they got married, the two of them agreed that if things went through, Lao Hetou would transfer the Galloping Horse Picture to He Yuzhu.

Seeing that he would marry and worship heaven and earth tomorrow, He Yuzhu came to ask for the painting today.

Old Hetou said: "Why are you in a hurry? Don't you just pray to heaven and earth tomorrow?"

"Look, what you said has already happened. We are about to enter the bridal chamber, so just give me the painting."

Now that he has agreed, of course Lao Hetou will keep his word and say: "Okay, I'll get you the painting. Let's talk about the ugly things first. This painting is transferred to you."

"Okay, just sell it to me."

These days, a matchmaker's gift only costs one or two yuan. For someone like He Yongqiang, who is not easy to claim as a wife, the matchmaker's gift is at most three to five yuan.

The matchmaking gift given by He Daqing to Wen Yuping was a special occasion, so the large amount should not be regarded as the market price.

Besides, the two families were neighbors, and He Yuzhu's matchmaking gift was only two or three yuan at most, which was incomparable with a painting.

He Yuzhu just wanted to buy this painting of Xu Beihong's galloping horse at the market price, and Lao Hetou only wanted to sell it.

In just a few minutes, Lao Hetou took out the painting and placed it on the table. He Yuzhu slowly untied it.

Horses are the iconic subject of Xu Beihong's paintings. The horses in his paintings are in various shapes and forms, full of passion and vitality.

Moreover, his galloping horses are often composed based on the times and events. The passion is contained in the pen and ink, and has the power to move people's hearts.

In this painting, Xu Beihong used bold and unrestrained ink to outline major turning points such as the head, neck, chest, and legs, and used a dry brush to sweep out the mane and tail, making the changes in shades of dry and wet appear natural. The straight lines of the horse's legs are thin and powerful, like steel knives, which penetrate the back of the paper, while the arcs of the abdomen, buttocks and tail of the mane are elastic and dynamic. Overall, the picture is larger in front and smaller in back, with a strong sense of perspective. The legs and horse's head stretched forward have a strong impact and seem to break through the picture.

The horse in the painting has strong muscles, a round belly, a head slightly tilted to the right, and a slightly larger nostril. This horse is soaring into the sky, with its head held high and its hooves flying, its mane flying, full of energy, high-spirited, and exciting. With just a few strokes, the author makes the horse tangible and strong. The author uses thick ink to express the thickness of the mane, and uses light ink and dry brush to show its flying momentum.

He Yuzhu said hello repeatedly. Although this picture of galloping horses is not the one he painted in 2004, it is still a masterpiece of his paintings and is really rare.

Lao Hetou said proudly: "This horse must be beautiful. I got this painting with great difficulty. I don't show it to most people."

Thinking that this painting would no longer be his own, Lao Hetou suddenly felt a little emotional again.

He Yuzhu said: "The painting is good, but it is nothing compared to the traditional incense of the He family. You will marry your daughter-in-law tomorrow, and you will have a fat grandson next year. What else are you dissatisfied with?" of?"

"With your good words, I hope I can have a grandson soon, and that our He family can pass on the legacy."

Lao He has no heir, but the adopted nephew is his nephew, and the blood of the He family flows through him, so he can be considered worthy of his ancestors.

He Yuzhu asked: "Uncle, can you tell me a price?"

"this."

Lao Hetou quickly said: "How about giving me twenty yuan."

He Yuzhu curled his lips, this old Hetou really dared to ask for it. At this time, the most expensive painting was Qi Baishi, and Xu Beihong's was cheaper. Like Huang Binhong, his painting only cost one yuan a foot.

According to Qi Baishi's price, this painting would not cost more than twenty yuan. If it were replaced by Xu Beihong's, it would only cost more than ten yuan, or at most fifteen yuan.

"You have earned back all the matchmaking gifts. You are really good at doing business."

Lao Hetou chuckled: "Zhuzi, I also want to make it a family heirloom, that is, you. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't be able to sell this painting."
