Chapter 44: A Chance Encounter on the Street
Li Xiangdong had two dark circles under his eyes, his hands were tightly holding his backpack, and he looked blankly at the streets of Chang'an in the early morning, the torrent of bicycles rolling by on the street, and on the spacious Chang'an Street, buses with braids on their heads drove by one by one, causing Li Xiangdong to exclaim!
This is our great capital. There are so wide roads, so tall buildings, and a lot of cars, well! I heard Yifan say that there are still trains running underground, so you must sit today.
"Brother Dong, don't be in a daze, let's go! Let's go to the bank first and deposit the money, otherwise it will be inconvenient to carry so much money with us, and then find a place to stay, and have dinner with my cousin Zhou Wenjie in the evening." After Li Yifan finished speaking, he pulled Li Xiangdong and walked along Chang'an Avenue in the direction of Jianguomen.
After a busy morning, Li Yifan and Li Xiangdong finally lay down on the bed in the hotel and relaxed. "Yifan, what are we going to do next?" As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a gurgling sound from Li Xiangdong's stomach.
Li Xiangdong smiled embarrassedly, pointed to his stomach and scolded, "You are a foodie, you know how to eat all day long, you just gave you a big meal last night, what time is it you called." As he spoke, he slapped his belly a few times, which made Li Yifan laugh all at once.
"Brother Dong, you are so funny, you laugh at me to death, let's rest for a while, I'll call my cousin first and ask their family to have dinner at night. After making the call, the two of us went out to worship the Wudao Temple. After Li Yifan finished speaking, he called Zhou Wenjie's unit and made an appointment to meet at 6 o'clock in the evening at Hepingmen Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant.
"Brother Dong, what are you going to eat?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, Yifan, do you know what the capital has to offer?"
"Specialty? I want to think about it, if you want to talk about the specialty, then the first choice is roast duck, this we have already set, in the evening in the most authentic Quanjude banquet cousin's family, snacks? There are two things that are more special, bean juice and stewed. ”
"Isn't that soy milk?"
"Soy juice and soy milk are not a food. I'll let you taste it in a moment. ”
"What about the stew?"
"Braised boiled food is the same as our haggis, but the braised use is pig delivery, and we are sheep delivery. It is said that there was one during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. It is mainly to cook the pig intestines and pig lungs that have been boiled together with the fire and stew, supplemented by fried tofu slices, marinade, garlic juice, soy tofu juice, coriander and other auxiliary materials, so that the fire is burned thoroughly but not sticky, the meat is rotten but not bad, and the people of the capital love to eat a snack. ”
"Sounds good, let's eat this stew and boil it in a while! Which one is authentic?"
"If you want to say authentic, it is located in Dashilar Langfang Ertiao
Chen Ji boiled small intestine is more famous and is a time-honored brand. ”
"Okay, let's go to their house and try this stew. Yifan, let's go!"
"Okay, where to take you on the subway. ”
After speaking, the two of them left the hotel, and not far after going out, they saw a Jianguomen subway station.
Entering the subway waiting hall, Li Xiangdong looked left and right, and kept admiring, "It's really underground, it seems to be quite deep, right? You see there are murals on this wall, it's so beautiful! The subway station is much cooler than outside." ”
Li Yifan was speechless for a while, Li Xiangdong's identity is so many, and now he suddenly turned into a curious baby again.
When I got on the subway, I said in surprise, "It's much more beautiful and quiet than the train, and there is no clanging sound, and the speed is also fast." ”
They are from the Jianguomen subway station, to the front door is only 3 stops, not long before the station, as soon as out of the Qianmen subway station, Li Xiangdong excitedly pointed to the north and said, "Yifan, I saw Tiananmen." It's really majestic! It's magnificent! That's a monument! Then there should be a memorial hall ahead! So what is this castle tower in front of us?"
Li Yifan saw where Li Xiangdong was shouting and laughing, who came to the capital and was not very excited about Tiananmen! That is the symbol of our country! In that city tower, an old man announced to the whole world that the Chinese people have stood up!
"This building is Zhengyangmen, which is what we commonly call the front door, the big front door. ”
After listening to Li Yifan's introduction, Li Xiangdong took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, "Yifan, do you think it's this big front door?"
Li Yifan looked at the big front door cigarette in Li Xiangdong's hand and smiled, what a coincidence!"Brother Dong, this is the big front door, look at the photo on the cigarette box, is it exactly the same as the city tower in front of you?"
Li Xiangdong carefully compared, "It's really the same!"
"Let's go, Brother Dong, let's go to Dashilar to find that stew, aren't you hungry?"
As they spoke, the two crossed the street and walked towards Dashilar.
After crossing the street, Li Yifan turned his head sideways and looked at a three-story building on the south side of Qianmen Street on the right-hand side, where one of them was surrounding the curtain and decorating the storefront. Li Yifan compared the location in his heart, well! It should be this one. In two months, China's first foreign fast food KFC will open here, and the popularity can exceed everyone's imagination. And its signboard is also different from now, with the font size of "Kentucky Hometown Chicken" written in white on a bright red background. Instead of the KFC signboards that later filled the streets.
Li Xiangdong looked at Li Yifan staring at a house that was being renovated and smirked, a little puzzled, "Yifan, what are you worried about?"
"Look at you!" No, I made a mistake, Li Yifan didn't answer like this, Li Yifan said, "It's nothing, it's just curious, what is he going to do in such a good prime location?"
After Li Xiangdong listened, he also looked back and forth for a long time, "This place sells medicine well, the flow of people is large, the front door is spacious, and it is not aggrieved to do an event, in addition, just like we had so many people queuing up in those two days, it will not affect the traffic." ”
"Brother Dong, that's good! You're now in character. Very well thought out. ”
After Li Yifan finished speaking, he turned around and continued to walk towards Dashilar, the more he walked, the narrower he walked, the more people walked, and it was bustling. It's hilarious.
The two of them also wandered along with the flow of people, and Li Xiangdong looked at the small objects placed on the roadside stalls for a while. It was very pleasant to buy some cold drinks and snacks for a while.
"Yifan, look at the group of people around, let's go and see what's going on inside. Li Xiangdong pulled Li Yifan and said.
Li Yifan also turned his head to look, and there were indeed a lot of people around the music, as well as the sound of music and the sound of loud applause. I wonder if I met the scene and said cross talk, right?
Li Yifan and the two of them have kung fu, and as soon as they squeezed through the crowd, they passed through the crowd and reached the innermost circle.
Li Yifan took a look and saw a six-member small band singing on the street, 3 electric ji, a keyboard, a drum kit, and a folk music flute.
The lead singer is a young man wearing a red round-neck sweatshirt with holes and shoulder-length hair. The guitar is slung over the shoulder, and the angular face seems to be thinking about the meaning of life. Li Yifan looked at it carefully and confirmed that it was Cui Jian.
The keyboard player next to him was tall and slightly chubby, showing a sincere smile, and he recognized it at a glance, it was Zang Tianshuo.
He secretly said that this time it was worth it, and he didn't want to be lucky enough to meet the street concert of these two gods.
