NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 26
The next day, early in the morning!
He Daqing got up early just after daybreak and started to cook breakfast.
This was the second day of He Daqing's time travel, and the first time he cooked.
Although he had all the memories of He Daqing in his mind, he still felt a little unfamiliar when he picked up the kitchen knife. Even his skills in cutting vegetables and cooking were not comparable to those of his previous life.
If this situation fell into the eyes of an experienced person, it would probably be evaluated as"unskilled".
But only He Daqing himself knew that it was not that his skills were rusty, but that he was not familiar with it yet. He needed to try a few more times before he could restore the skills of his previous life.
A simple scrambled egg and a hot and sour potato shreds.
Plus a pot of old Beijing fried noodles.
This is today's breakfast, and it is also He Daqing's first cooking show after traveling through time.
As for the taste?
It must be several levels better than his previous life.
It's mainly due to the huge difference in knife skills, heat, ingredients, and raw materials.
In the previous life, how could He Daqing cut potato shreds as thin and even as matchsticks? Not to mention that the ingredients used in the old He family were all prepared by the previous life, far from being comparable to simple chicken essence and MSG.
In addition, there are the heat and raw materials.
Needless to say, the heat is definitely an important criterion for measuring excellence, and the raw materials are pure natural and pollution-free, without various pesticides, fertilizers, and hormone additives. In the future, you can't buy them even if you want to.
When breakfast was ready, it was already past seven o'clock.
He Daqing called the two children to get up and eat.
After dinner.
Those who should go to school go to school, and those who should go to the factory to ask for leave ask for leave.
He Daqing himself went to the home of the third uncle Yan Fugui first, asked the third aunt to be a matchmaker, and made an appointment to go to Qinjiazhuang with the father and son to propose marriage.
Because Shazhu was not old enough to get a marriage certificate, He Daqing planned to propose marriage first according to the old custom and settle the marriage.
In the old days, marriages included: three books and six ceremonies, four betrothals and five golds, a sedan chair with eight bearers, a red dress of ten miles, a phoenix crown and a bridal robe, and a formal marriage!
Of course, this is no longer popular in this era, so the sedan chair with eight bearers, the red dress of ten miles, the phoenix crown and a bridal robe can all be saved.
In fact, if one's own silly son is old enough, even the three books and six ceremonies, the four betrothals and the five golds can be saved.
The reason why He Daqing chose the three books and six ceremonies was also for insurance, so that Qin Huairu would not kick his silly son before he reached the age of getting a marriage certificate in two years.
It's different with a marriage certificate.
With a marriage certificate, the old Qin family dared to cancel the marriage. Even if it was not illegal, their reputation was ruined, and they could not raise their heads in the ten miles and eight villages.
It can only be said that for the marriage of his silly son, He Daqing, the old father, was worried about it.
After making an appointment with the three aunts, He Daqing called a tricycle and went straight to Wangfujing Department Store, where he spent 1.68 million yuan to buy a 28-inch bicycle of the Forever brand.
It sounds like an expense of millions, but in fact, after more than two years, it would only be more than a hundred yuan after being converted into the second set of currency.
In addition to the bicycle, he also bought some cakes, candies, cigarettes, alcohol, fish, etc., ready to take with him when proposing, so that he could have the six gifts for engagement, to show his appreciation for the Qin family.
Such a standard may not be a big deal for those wealthy families, but it is definitely a high standard for rural families in this era. As for the marriage certificate and the like, it needs to be sent after the proposal is successful and an auspicious day is chosen.
As long as the marriage certificate is issued, the marriage of the two is considered a success, and the only thing missing is the marriage certificate and the wedding banquet.
…………
He pushed his bicycle out of the Wangfujing Building.
He Daqing rode his bicycle in a chic manner, and pushed the ground with his left foot to speed up. His movements were smooth and natural, not to mention how handsome he was. In an instant, he received envious eyes from all over the ground. To put it bluntly, in this era, as long as you ride a bicycle, you are the most beautiful kid in the streets and alleys.
It won't be long before the authorities will issue bicycle driver's licenses and license plates for bicycles, which will greatly improve the status of bicycle drivers.
When He Daqing rode his bicycle back to the courtyard, there was another sensation.
Because this is the first bicycle in the courtyard.
The one in Xu Fugui's house doesn't count. After all, Xu Fugui's bicycle belongs to the steel rolling mill. It is specially equipped for projectionists by the steel rolling mill, not his own. He rarely rides it to the courtyard on weekdays, so it doesn't attract much attention.
But He Daqing's bicycle is different. He bought it himself.
Although he bought it for his son because of his son's engagement, a bicycle is still a bicycle, and it is still the only one in the Red Star Courtyard.
This alone is enough to attract attention.
However, considering the theft that just happened yesterday, according to statistics from Director Wang of the Street Office, the He family has a family fortune of 10 million.
So it is understandable that He Daqing spent money to buy a bicycle to decorate the facade for his son to marry a wife.
Who is the most excited about buying a bicycle?
It must be He Daqing's silly son, He Yuzhu.
Because He Daqing had previously stated that this bicycle was bought for him.
How can this kid not be excited after seeing the bicycle?
If he is not going to Qinjiazhuang to propose marriage soon, I don’t know how he will push it out to show off.
What?
You ask why it is pushed?
Isn’t this nonsense? If Shazhu wants to ride, he must learn to ride!
Before he learns to ride, he must push it!
This trip to Qinjiazhuang is different from yesterday.
There are two cars in total, a bicycle ridden by He Daqing and a three-wheeled cart ridden by He Yuzhu himself, and the car also carries the temporary matchmaker, Aunt San.
The two of them rode to Qinjiazhuang in a hurry.
But soon, He Daqing regretted it.
Qinjiazhuang was too far away, and riding a bicycle was too tiring.
The road was more than 20 miles long, and many sections were bumpy. Riding a bicycle was really difficult.
I would have taken a tricycle earlier.
…………
More than forty minutes later,
He Daqing and the other two arrived at Qinjiazhuang.
"Sister-in-law Yan, today my son Zhuzi's matter depends entirely on you. After it's done, I'll give you a big thank-you gift." He Daqing promised to the third aunt with a smile.
When the third aunt heard this, she immediately smiled and said happily:"Don't worry, brother Daqing, your sister-in-law has been a matchmaker for others more than once or twice. I know the rules and procedures. Just wait and see. When I go back, I will ask your brother Yan to write a marriage certificate for Zhuzi, and Zhuzi will definitely take his new wife home smoothly."
He Daqing also smiled when he heard this, and patted his chest and promised:"Then it's up to you today, Sister-in-law Yan. If this matter really succeeds, you will be the matchmaker of our son Zhuzi, and this thank-you gift will ensure that you will be satisfied."...............................
