Chapter 939: Hao Jingshi persuades her daughter

"Because I don't know what kind of wine Han Li likes to drink, I prepared Qibao Daqu and Shanghai Tequ. But now we should finish some of these foreign wines first. Putting these things in the room will make me feel more at ease."

However, Hao Jingshi had tasted and seen a lot of things, so she directly chose champagne among the three foreign liquors.

In her words, brandy has a high alcohol content and is not suitable for drinking today. Wine needs to be decanted, but there is no suitable decanter at home. Champagne is the easiest, and it is just right for drinking in now weather.

A bottle of champagne, eight dishes, one soup, and a pot of rice were all finished by Han Li and his two companions.

In fact, it should be said that most of the eight dishes, one soup and rice were eaten by Han Li, because in Shanghai, not only are the portions of dishes in restaurants small, but the portions of dishes at home are also small.

I won’t talk about the amount of food in the Northeast, because they often use basins to serve the food.

In the old city, families with similar conditions use eight-centimeter round plates to serve food, while in Shanghai, the plates for freshmen are only six centimeters, so the capacity difference is huge.

The champagne tasted good and the alcohol content was not high, so Han Li drank half a bottle, and Hao Hongmin and her daughter drank half a bottle.

Unlike Hao Hongmin whose face turned slightly red, Hao Jingshi looked fine.

During the meal, Hao Jingshi kept picking food for Han Li. She did not mention the house and Hao Jianghe to Han Li when they first met. From beginning to end, they just talked about some family matters, interesting things about the neighbors, and some embarrassing things that Hao Hongmin did when she was a child. In short, the atmosphere at the dinner table was always good.

But after finishing the meal and cleaning up the place, things became a bit awkward. Han Li originally planned to go to the hotel to rest for a while, and then go to stamp the bicycles with Hao Hongmin in the afternoon, and then the two of them would go shopping in Shanghai city.

But Hao Jing actually let Han Li lie down on her daughter's bed for a nap, while Hao Hongmin rested on another bed behind the curtain, and she went to chat with the neighbors.

In theory, this suggestion is good, but Han Li always feels that Hao Jing's suggestion is weird, as if she is expecting something to happen between him and her daughter.

Han Li finally agreed to take a nap here, but he had just asked Hao Hongmin to hold on to a tree and bend over yesterday afternoon to strengthen his physical strength training, so he really just took a nap at noon today.

Hao Hongmin wanted to accompany Han Li to rest for a while, but because they were in her own home now, the sound insulation of the house was extremely poor. If she couldn't control herself and made some noise that was heard by others, she would be drowned by the neighbors' saliva, so she almost followed Hao Jingshi out.

The time soon came to around two o'clock. Regardless of how Hao Jing complained about her children in words and deeds, Han Li had a very good rest.

In the afternoon, Han Li first went with Hao Hongmin to register the bicycle and stamp it with a steel stamp, and then they came to Duolun Road.

After arriving at Duolun Road, the two of them started walking, pushing their bicycles.

Along the way, we saw various buildings of unique styles on both sides, such as Xishi Bell Tower, Kong Mansion, Bai Mansion, Hongde Hall, Hengfeng Tea House, and "Art University Dormitory".

They still have their own uses now, so there is no need to go into details.

While admiring these buildings, Han Li listened to Hao Hongmin telling him the news she had received from her elders.

In some years, two of the five major industrial and commercial families in Shanghai were from Guangdong Province. Their achievements in Shanghai's department stores, service industries, catering industries, and entertainment industries can be said to be unique.

The success of these people attracted many people from Guangdong Province, but at that time most of the wealthy people in Guangdong Province lived in luxury houses in Nanyang Road and Jing'an Temple Road.

Ordinary people were distributed in the areas of Si* Road, Nan*xi Road, Shaanxi*bei Road and Xinzha Road at that time.

The number of people from Guangdong Province in Shanghai increased, and the Guangdong Gang, which was very famous at the time, was established.

When I was 46, Shanghai held its first beauty pageant. The runner-up was said to be a girl from Guangdong Province, and she was a lady from a prominent family.

However, those were what the elders told Hao Hongmin. What impressed her most was the service industry, because she vaguely remembered that there was only a "Guangdong aunt" in her family who had been taking care of everything at home. Later, due to changes in circumstances, the factory at home was first taken a group photo, and then directly handed it over.

Later, the situation changed again and their family had to ask the aunt from Guangdong Province to leave. Hao Hongmin remembered that she cried for several days because of the aunt's departure.

Han Li didn't know what the situation was with the aunt from Guangdong Province, but he knew that he couldn't let Hao Hongmin go on like this, otherwise when she talked about recent years, she would think of the things that happened in the past and start crying on the street, and there would be no way to stop it. So he followed up on Hao Hongmin's words and asked another question.

"What's up with this Guangdong auntie?"

"My mother told me that Guangdong aunties were very popular in Shanghai because they were meticulous and quick in their work. They could handle both rough and delicate housework and cook delicious meals.

Therefore, these Guangdong aunties have earned the reputation of "one-kick", which is not a derogatory term, but a commendatory term, meaning that as long as you hire a Guangdong auntie at home, you don't have to worry about anything, they can handle everything from inside to outside. "

Of course, things have their good and bad sides, and so do people. Even if they are from the same Guangdong Province, some people who are willing to work hard and endure hardships become the "kicked away" and fought over, while others become "salty girls".

(Please search for Xianshuimei on your own. Hao Hongmin was embarrassed to mention it, so I won’t write about it here.)
As the two were talking, they came to the ancestral home of Hao Hongmin's family. There was an open space on the side close to the street, and inside was a two-story building with a small garden in the cross section.

According to Hao Hongmin, this vacant lot on the street was originally her family's front yard, the kind with a courtyard wall. Later, the wall was demolished and the front yard became a venue for activities and meetings.

In order to have something to say when he goes to see Mr. Li's son tomorrow, Han Li not only asked Hao Hongmin to describe the situation of the house in detail, but also carefully observed the surrounding situation. Only after he had a clear idea of ​​the situation did he take Hao Hongmin away.

Next, Han Li rode a bike and Hao Hongmin gave directions. They went to Nanjing Road for a stroll, but were soon overwhelmed by the constant flow of people there.

This squeeze made Han Li lose interest in these famous places, so the two of them ran to the Bund.

The situation on the Bund is still good, because local people in Shanghai only come here to exercise in the morning and evening. There are only a small number of out-of-town tourists on the Bund during the day, which makes it very empty during the day.

Pudong is across the Huangpu River. That place is quite famous in later generations and is an intercontinental financial center. Out of curiosity, I asked Hao Hongmin.

"What's the situation on the other side of the river now?"

“I haven’t been to the other side, but I heard there aren’t many decent houses there, and the roads are all muddy. When there’s a storm, every household there will be flooded.

In some places, the water was so deep that it even reached the thighs or waist. It is said that there was a man who drank too much during a banquet one day and fell asleep at home. It happened to rain heavily. When he woke up, the bed board at home was almost floating into the Huangpu River. If he had woken up a little later, he might have become a different story.

Han Li and Hao Hongmin strolled on the Bund for a while, and after they asked someone to take a few photos, it was already late.

The two of them found a restaurant near the Bund to eat, but what Han Li didn't expect was that the prices at the tourist attractions were a little bit higher.

Because the same poached chicken costs 1.5 yuan at Dexing Restaurant, but 1.7 yuan here on the Bund, and other dishes are also two cents more expensive.

Hao Hongmin also saw the prices on the menu and immediately pulled Han Li away.

However, Han Li saw that there was fruit juice for sale here, so he didn't care about the few dollars, and the two of them had a meal here.

The food tasted almost the same, at least Han Li, a foreigner, couldn't tell the difference. However, the fruit juices mixed with essences did disappoint him.

After dinner, Han Li took Hao Hongmin all the way back and sent her home. He declined Hao Jingshi's invitation, left his bicycle behind and walked out of the alley.

This time, Han Li did not go directly to the hotel, but found a bathhouse to take a bath. As he had been traveling for several days, he would feel uncomfortable if he did not take a bath.

At this time, Hao Jing was taking her daughter to class.
