Chapter 25: Being scolded (please follow up)
Li Le did not go in, but waited at the security booth outside the building.
Of course, he didn't forget to call Cheng Fei first and tell Cheng Fei where he was.
"Have fun." Soon Cheng Fei drove over.
In fact, when Li Le came over, it was already off work time. If he hadn't known that he was coming, Cheng Fei would have left long ago.
Li Le walked over holding two glass jars.
Seeing these two glass jars, Cheng Fei's eyes lit up. He quickly got out of the car and helped Li Le open the door and said, "Get in the car, I'll take you back."
"Yeah! Just take me to the east end of Donghuamen Street." Li Le did not refuse.
If Cheng Fei was not allowed to deliver, he would either take a taxi or buy a shared bicycle.
Besides, Cheng Fei's house is not far from Li Le's house. When they get to the east end of Donghuamen Street, the two of them go west and north.
"Okay!" Cheng Fei nodded, then turned to look at Li Le and asked, "Have you moved to Donghuamen Street?"
"yes!"
"Boy, the rent over there is not cheap."
Others don’t know it, but Cheng Fei definitely knows it! Because his home is not far from Donghuamen Street.
"It's not expensive either. What's more expensive is the front-facing house facing the street. The housing is still OK."
"Uh!" Cheng Fei was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right, especially for houses in alleys, the rent is cheaper."
Fortunately, Cheng Fei didn't know where Li Le lived, otherwise he wouldn't have thought so.
Because Li Le didn't live in an alley, but just outside Donghuamen Street.
As for the houses in the hutongs, they are actually not cheap. It mainly depends on the location.
The closer you are to the Forbidden City, even in small alleys, the prices are very expensive.
The main reason is that you can't rent them at all. The houses in the alleys are basically rented out to others or they open their own B&Bs or family hotels.
Because it was just after get off work hours, the traffic jam was not too serious. Twenty minutes later, the jeep stopped at the intersection of Donghuamen Street.
"I'm going back, drive slower." Li Le said to Cheng Fei before getting out of the car.
"I know, it's really verbose."
Li Le got out of the car and waited for Cheng Fei to drive away before turning around and walking inside.
Time passed day by day, and it was Saturday in the blink of an eye. I had already agreed to go to Cheng Fei's house in the evening.
So Li Le was preparing things early in the morning. Before, Cheng's mother gave Li Le some gifts and red envelopes.
Now that Li Le is not short of money, he must prepare gifts.
He went to the mall and bought some supplements and cosmetics. Li Le didn't buy anything else, such as necklaces or watches.
Because Cheng Ma has no shortage of these. From what Li Le has ever seen, Cheng Ma has worn five or six different styles of expensive watches.
Not to mention the necklace, which is basically changed every day. It can also be seen from this that the Cheng Fei family is not short of money.
Cosmetics and supplements can be considered affordable. You must know that Li Le buys all world-class brands.
As for Dad Cheng, this is easier to deal with. Dad Cheng loves drinking, so Li Le prepared two bottles of wine.
This is not an ordinary wine, but Xifeng wine from more than seventy years ago. At this time, it has long been extinct.
It is estimated that even if you go to Xifeng Winery, you will not be able to find a bottle.
Li Le brought back a total of ten bottles, so just take two bottles. As for the rest, Li Le plans to send a few bottles back over time. The reason why I don't send it now is because Li Le doesn't have an ID card. To send express mail now, you must have an ID card, otherwise you can't send it.
At about five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Le took his things and set off.
Today is Saturday, a day off, and the company is not working. Cheng Fei is probably at home at this time, so Li Le went over now.
Ten minutes later, Li Le arrived at Cheng Fei's house. The door was open, maybe because he knew Li Le was coming.
Li Le always felt like he was at home when he came here, so he went in directly.
Dad Cheng was drinking tea in the yard. When he saw Li Le coming, he quickly said: "Xiao Le is here, come on, sit down and drink tea with me."
"Okay uncle." Li Le thought for a moment, put down what he was holding, and passed.
"You kid, just come here. What else do you need to bring? I still lack these." Dad Cheng said unhappily.
Li Le knew that Cheng's father blamed him for spending money recklessly, so he touched his nose and didn't say anything back.
After Cheng's father finished nagging, Li Lecai said: "Uncle, you may not be short of anything else, but there is one thing I brought this time that you definitely don't have here, and you will also like it."
"Oh! What?" Dad Cheng asked in surprise.
"Look what this is?" Li Le picked up the things he put down, and then took out two bottles of Xifeng.
Seeing these two bottles of Xifeng, Dad Cheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly took them and looked at them carefully. After almost two minutes, he looked up at Li Le and asked, "This is Xifeng from the 1950s."
"Uh!" Li Le was stunned for a moment.
Li Le didn't expect that Dad Cheng would realize that this was Xifeng from the 1950s. You should know that the wine produced at that time basically did not have the date printed on the label.
For boxes of wine, a piece of paper with the production date and inspection qualification will be placed in the box.
Even if the label is printed, it is stamped with ink pad. After so many years, the date has become unclear.
The ten bottles of Xifeng that Li Le brought back did not have production dates. If you want to recognize them, you can only recognize them from the appearance of the bottles and the labels.
However, it is not so easy to recognize it from these two aspects, unless you have a good understanding of Xifeng wine.
"Uncle, how did you see it?" Li Le asked.
"So, I didn't admit my mistake?"
Father Cheng was not particularly sure before. After all, Xifeng wine from the 1950s could not be found at all now.
But when Li Le asked, he was sure that it was right, this was Xifeng wine from the 1950s.
"Uncle, you are so awesome. This is indeed a Xifeng from the 1950s, and it was produced in the 1950s."
"Hiss!" Dad Cheng took a breath and said, "My dear, it was produced in the 1950s. This is a good thing! No, I have to put it away first."
For a person who loves wine, but regards wine as a treasure, especially this kind of extinct wine, let alone it.
"Xiao Le, you stinky boy, you spend money indiscriminately." Cheng's mother came out of the kitchen at this time and scolded Li Le.
In fact, Cheng Ma already knew that Li Le was coming, but the kitchen was busy just now. No, she came out as soon as the kitchen was finished.
Just seeing Li Le coming with something, he scolded him.
"Auntie! It didn't cost much, just some supplements and a set of cosmetics." Li Le said with a wry smile.
Li Le knew this would happen when he went to buy these things.
