Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 48 Cheongsam Bai Ling
"Just because of two bowls of soy milk, you guys are arguing like this? Oh my god, this is really making me laugh to death."

Chen Xueru has this kind of charm, or ability.

Even when she makes fun of others, it only makes people feel her playfulness and does not cause others to feel disgusted.

Apart from
Bai Ling, also a woman, doesn't want Ximen Lang and Chen Xueru to be too involved.

Let me put it this way, at first glance, Bai Ling felt that Chen Xueru was a fake person.

It was very artificial, and it felt like she was deliberately exaggerating it and performing it for herself and Ximen Lang to win Ximen Lang's favor.

But there's nothing we can do about it. Those stinky men, led by Ximen Lang, just like this tune.

I can’t say how deep the love is, but at least I definitely love watching it.

What can she do about this?
She couldn't just tell Ximen Lang
"This woman is over 30 and a young widow with a child. She has at least 800 tricks in her body. You can't beat her, so try not to play with her in the future."

I haven't done anything yet, and you're saying this.

If Ximen Lang gets unhappy, he will say, "Who are you? It's none of your business who I play with or not. Why do you have to worry about it?"

How should Bai Ling respond?
She couldn't answer at all.

And there was Chen Xueru opposite, who was smiling so coquettishly, like a little elf, that Ximen Lang couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

She will definitely laugh at herself then!

Therefore, even if it was just to prevent her from laughing at herself and letting her take advantage of her, Bai Ling could only pretend that she saw nothing.

At least, you must not speak out to stop them until they do something out of the ordinary that you really can't stand.

In fact, Bai Ling really misunderstood Chen Xueru.

In the past, Chen Xueru didn’t know how much power Ximen Lang had.

According to Chen Xueru, all the good things in the world should be mine, especially the things that Xu Huizhen likes. She has a domineering personality and must get involved even if it harms others and does not benefit herself.

No matter what, Chen Xueru will never let go of Ximen Lang, the perfect son-in-law who is both handsome and rich!
The kind that no one can help!
But now, Ximen Lang has proved with actions that they are not players of the same level at all.

Even Director Bai Lingbai, a favored daughter of heaven, had to be like a punching bag and had to give in to him in everything.

She is a capitalist who came from a business family, and she is also a young widow who has been divorced once and has a child.

Why does she dare to dream about Ximen Lang, the super rich son-in-law?
She really didn't want to provoke Director Bai, who was obviously interested in Ximen Lang and had a promising future.

But there is no way. As public-private partnerships become more and more intense, the social trend becomes increasingly unfriendly to capitalists like them.

Almost every day, she lived in constant fear and anxiety.

Afraid of someday.
But she was reluctant to leave, nor could she give up the huge legacy passed down by her ancestors with great difficulty.

In this case, it is imperative to find a backer who can protect you from the wind and rain and who cannot be overthrown by anyone.

Then, the embarrassing thing happened.

Because she is neither good nor bad, her foundation is here, which is neither better than the best nor the worst.

Those in high positions and with great power simply looked down on her, and she had no way to establish connections with them.

As for those who are not so good, she looks down on them and thinks they are not worthy of her flattery.

In addition, she was very close to the military attaché of the Soviet Embassy, ​​so few people wanted to have anything to do with her.

So, after years of wandering around, she still hasn't found a decent backer. And just at this moment, Ximen Lang, whose face was almost written with "I'm the boss, come and worship me", appeared.

I'm just sleepy and need a pillow.

In this case, Chen Xueru would of course grab this opportunity as if it were her last straw, even though she knew that this would make Bai Ling unhappy.

He ignored it and told Ximen Lang in detail the origin of douzhi.

I understand. Now, Ximen Lang understands everything.

To put it simply, douzhi is not what Ximen Lang thought it was. It is a drink loved by everyone in the city.

What kind of people like to drink?

Liba.

Like Wobo who carries big bags and Banye who rides a tricycle, these laborers whose daily work requires a lot of physical strength are the main force that frequents the douzhi stalls.

Besides, people can’t be called lovers of drinking.

But relying solely on some mixed flour steamed bread and mixed soup could not make up for his consumption.

There is no other choice but to use soy milk, which contains a lot of plant protein, as meat.

By the way, eat some of the various pickles that are provided free of charge at almost every douzhi stall to supplement the salt content with the steamed bread you brought.

For these two reasons, and of course the fact that douzhi itself is not expensive, they are willing to patronize the store frequently.

Otherwise, are they crazy?
Drinking swill for no reason is just asking for trouble? (Saw an interview, this is what the old man from Sijiucheng said himself.)
When I mentioned Ximen Lang, I suddenly felt a little sad.

It was confirmed again that douzhi was the泔水 of the old society. The guy was reluctant to pour it out, so he tasted it and found that apart from the strange taste, there was nothing special about it. That's how the thing called douzhi came into being.

Sighed.
“The wisdom of the working people.”

Then, Ximen Lang felt as if there was a stone pressing on his heart, which made him feel very uncomfortable and his mood became obviously depressed.

The complicated look on his face made Bai Ling's gaze towards Ximen Lang soften a little.

Pressing Ximen Lang's shoulders, he silently gave Ximen Lang some comfort.

In order to make Ximen Lang feel better, Bai Ling took the initiative to talk to Chen Xueru for the first time about Suzhou embroidery and Yunjin brocade.

"Shopkeeper Chen, last time at the tavern, Brother Lang told you about exchanging a few outfits. How are the preparations going? Has the Yunjin arrived yet?"

Chen Xueru was flattered.

He clapped his hands and greeted the two of them.

"It's already been prepared for you two, just waiting for you to come over and take your measurements. Then the master chef in the shop will make it for you right away."

High-end goods like Yunjin, whose name sounds impressive, are definitely not something Bai Ling can easily afford, even though she is a mid-level cadre at the department level.

So, when Bai Ling heard that she actually had a share of Yunjin, she had never thought it would be so extravagant and immediately refused.

"You can just take Brother Lang's measurements and have the master craftsman make him a few outfits. I don't need to do that."

But before she could finish her words, Ximen Lang interrupted her without leaving any room for rebuttal.

"Shopkeeper Chen, don't listen to her nonsense. Measure her and make it for her right after you've measured her. Oh, and I don't care about anything else, but among those outfits, there has to be a stunning cheongsam!"
