MTL - American Warehouse Taobao King-Chapter 14 [Confessing to mother]
After taking inventory of his income and expenditure, Yang Yong ran to the warehouse on the second floor with the checklist, and ordered the goods to replenish the missing goods in the grocery store. After being busy for more than half an hour, the girls returned to the 2nd floor to wash and clean, and then came to the small restaurant on the 2nd floor to sit down for dinner.
Although it is a small restaurant, it has an area of 15 square meters. There is a large dining table and 8 chairs in the middle of the restaurant, but the entire Yang family consists of Yang Yong and his mother, so the seats of the mother and wife are next to each other. On the wall on the left side of the restaurant is a row of exhibition cabinets, which displays 108 ancient porcelains produced in Jingdezhen, an official kiln of the late Qing Dynasty, handed down from the family heirloom of the Yang family during the Daoguang period. No matter the size of the tableware, the Yang family's characters are printed on the base, and the tableware is well preserved as if it were new. Someone who knows the price has estimated the price, and the price of this tableware should reach about 180,000 US dollars. This is the Yang family heirloom and is listed as a permanent collection. It will never be sold. To the right of the restaurant is a large wine cabinet. There are many world-famous wines in the wine cabinet, but most of them are about 100 US dollars. liquor. These wines are Yang Yong's collection. Don't look at Yang Yong's 21-year-old smoking and drinking, and he started smoking and drinking when he was 15 years old. Seeing that his mother Zhang Lan had never stopped Yang Yong from smoking and drinking, Yang Yong also felt puzzled and asked why his mother did not teach him to smoke and drink. But Yang Yong didn't know whether to cry or laugh at his mother's words. Mom's reason is very strong. Men don't drink and go in the world for nothing. Drinking and smoking is a man's patent. As long as they don't drink too much, why should they stop them? My son smokes and drinks. Since then, Yang Yong no longer smokes and drinks secretly, but blatantly smokes and drinks at home in front of his mother Zhang Lan, but Yang Yong is very self-disciplined, and he never gets drunk, and he can drink up to 60 degrees. of tequila, a person can drink a bottle without getting drunk.
Another reason is that although Yang Yong lost his father at an early age, the Yang family has never been short of money, and there is a grocery store that is very popular. His father and mother also inherited the Chinese tradition of being good at managing money and hiding wealth. Although Yang Yong doesn't know how much his family's assets are? But preliminary estimates put the cash at $200,000. Some stock securities can also reach hundreds of thousands of yuan, plus the 2-storey building where the family lives, the upstairs is the residents and the downstairs is the grocery store, and there is a large garden in the backyard. There are various vegetables planted in the garden, with a total area of 2,800 square meters. Of course, the real estate in the United States is calculated by feet, more than 2,800 square meters, and the location is still close to Nassau County, New York City. The market value should be about 800,000 US dollars. Above, it is tentatively estimated that the assets of the Yang family should reach about one million US dollars.
It’s just that the Yang family is a Chinese with roots and roots, and immigrated to the United States for less than 40 years. They still have traditional Chinese thinking, that is, wealth is not revealed. The behavior of saving money when they have money makes the Yang family not look like a wealthy family on the outside. In the eyes of outsiders, the Yang family is just a businessman who is wealthy and safe. This positioning makes it very accurate. Yang Yong also likes it very much, so although Yang Yong is rebellious and goes out to fight, he is very measured in everything he does. If he hadn't drank too much a few days ago, he wouldn't have been able to let others smash his left half of his head. Up to now, Yang Yong regrets it. Even if his left eye has a special function, Yang Yong regrets it very much, but it is useless to regret it. He can only accept the reality as it is. Because Yang Yong was injured, his mother, Zhang Lan, sent Yang Yong some delicious food, and today is no exception. Half an authentic Cantonese-style salted chicken, a T-bone steak weighing one kilogram, a small plate of fried pork with peppers, a steamed grouper weighing 2 kilograms, and finally a bowl until the soup turns milky white Pork Knuckle Stewed with Peanuts.
Four dishes and one soup, how can such a good dish be without wine, so Yang Yong suggested that the girls have a glass of red wine. Although there is not much wine, it can satisfy their cravings. So the mother and the mother each had a small glass of wine, and while eating, mother asked Yang Yong what he did this morning? Have searched and found a job. Yang Yong considered for a long time whether he should confess his career direction to his mother. If he confesses, it is still unknown whether his mother can recognize his career direction, but Yang Yong, as a good boy, as a prodigal son who can't change his money, doesn't want to deceive his mother, let alone let his mother worry about himself. Therefore, Yang Yong decided to tell his mother the truth and tell his mother the direction of his career, so Yang Yong put down the knife and fork in his hand and said honestly to his mother. "Mom, I have to admit to you that I lied this morning, I didn't go looking for a job. I went to the New York docks to attend a scrap warehouse auction, and I also auctioned a scrap crate with a lot of money reward."
When Yang Yong said these words, he carefully observed his mother's reaction. What puzzled Yang Yong was that his mother went to auction the abandoned warehouse after hearing this. Not only did he not feel ashamed to be angry at himself, but he looked at the nervous Yang Yong with loving eyes in his eyes, and said with a smile. "Looking at the way you speak carefully, you seem to be afraid that I will be angry. It's strange that the abandoned warehouse above the auction dock is also a serious business. There are 100,000 people in the United States pointing to this professional life, and the auction of abandoned warehouses is one of them. Serious business, why should I be angry?"
Hearing what his mother said, Yang Yong was stunned and asked stupidly, "Mom, don't you think it's shameful to auction off old warehouses?" Yong looked great just now. It was because he was afraid that he would feel ashamed when he heard that his son went to auction the abandoned warehouse, and scolded Yang Yong. After thinking about this, his mother Zhang Lan couldn't help but smiled bitterly and touched Yang Yong's hair and said softly to Yang Yong. "My stupid son! In your eyes, my mother is an unreasonable and savage woman. Is my mother so vain? As long as you are doing a serious job, not an illegal business, even if you go to take out the garbage. Mom can also proudly express her inner speech to everyone, that is, I am proud of my son. Although my son is a garbage disposal worker, he does not use drugs, steals, or gambles. He is a serious and good worker. It's too late for me to be proud of you! Why oppose your serious business."
Seeing his mother's understanding, Yang Yong's heart warmed, tears began to roll around his eyes, and his voice trembled a little to report to his mother what he had auctioned this morning. And he also dedicated two treasures that he had auctioned back to his mother Zhang Lan, the same is 16 pure gold crosses, and the other is the supreme king among the shotguns, Winchester 1877****** There are also 100 rounds of attached bullets all placed in front of the mother. As if showing off, he explained to his mother the origins of these two treasures and the price he estimated. Yang Yong looked like a child who did a very ordinary little thing, but wanted to take credit for the adults. Moreover, Yang Yong's harvest today is really not small. At the price of 1,000 US dollars, he returned 16 pure gold crosses and a Winchester Supreme******, which can be said to be a worthwhile trip.
