Beijing, No. 11 Yangfang Hutong.

A taxi stopped steadily on the side of the road, and the driver pointed diagonally ahead: "It's here!"

This is an ordinary alley, with the smell and quietness it should have. There is a sign of "Li Jia Cai" hanging on the lintel on the side of the road, and the walls are all made of cement, which has no beauty and style at all, and it is an extremely ordinary ordinary shop.

Wang Bo got out of the car first, looked there, and immediately smiled: "Lao Zhou said that he wanted to treat him, and he called everyone to the capital from thousands of miles away, so he let us eat in this kind of place? ”

Song Weiyang, who flew from Shenghai with Wang Bo, pointed to the signboard of the store and said, "Do you see the inscription next to those three words?" The signboard was written by Pu Jie, the younger brother of the last emperor Pu Yi. ”

"That's a good point. Wang Bo said.

Knock on the door and enter, the dining table is placed in the small courtyard, and the whole store is just like this.

"Lijia Cai" has been open since the 80s, and at the beginning it started with one table a week, but due to the shortage of supply, it was changed to two tables a week, and now it has become one table a day.

When you eat here, you have to make a reservation in advance, otherwise you won't be able to eat if you have money. When Clinton visited China two years ago, he ordered a meal six months in advance, and when the date approached, the place was heavily guarded. As a result, Clinton temporarily changed his itinerary, and the table of dishes cheapened the US Treasury Secretary.

The owner of the shop has received countless domestic and foreign celebrities, and the ambassadors of various countries to China have come anyway. What is the president of Microsoft, the president of Standard Chartered, the queen of the Netherlands, the minister of the United States, the president of France, the prime minister of the United Kingdom...... The whole nine yards.

The host, Zhou Zhengyu, had already arrived and was chatting with Nie Jun, Ding Ming and Peng Shengli. Seeing Song Weiyang and Wang Bo coming in, several people immediately got up to greet them, and Zhou Zhengyu ran directly to hug: "Old Zhou, old Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss my buddy!"

Wang Bo smiled and slammed Zhou Zhengyu's chest: "It's okay, Zhou Dashao, you've grown a lot stronger, you eat steak every day in the United States, right?"

"Don't say it, the Yankees' food is really bad, and my tongue has faded out of the bird in two years. Zhou Zhengyu vomited bitterness.

"This place is good," Song Weiyang dragged the bench and sat down, "Hasn't Lao Li come yet?"

Ding Ming did not continue to gain weight, but became much stronger, and said with a smile: "I guess it's almost here, and you called me before." ”

Song Weiyang looked at Nie Jun's bun and teased: "Yo, Nie Zhenren is very stylish, do you have a golden pill in your stomach?"

"You'll have to go to the hospital for an X-ray. Nie Jun replied.

Wang Bole said: "That thing can only show stones." ”

Suddenly, there was another sound of pushing the door outside, and Li Yaolin strode in. This guy didn't wear glasses when he was in college, but now he is wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, with a suit and a dog-like look, he opened his arms and hugged the air and said, "Brothers, Lao Li, I'm here!"

"You still know that you are the slowest, and you will punish yourself with three cups later!" Wang Bo coaxed.

"Okay, okay, punish yourself three cups," Li Yaolin saw Nie Jun's bun at a glance and said in surprise, "Old Comrade Nie, are you really a monk?"

Nie Jun coaxed: "The four seas are home, how can you talk about going in and out?"

Li Yaolin sat down to greet the others, and asked Zhou Zhengyu again: "Lao Nie came out of the mountain, and he has been talking like this?"

Zhou Zhengyu said with a smile: "I took him to see a psychiatrist yesterday, and at first this guy couldn't live or die." Guess what? He stunned other psychiatrists, and he was so poor that he looked mentally ill for half a day, and he could completely change his career to cross talk. ”

Everyone laughed.

Peng Shengli asked: "Lao Li's son is half a year old, why didn't he bring his younger siblings and nephew?"

"I haven't been weaned yet, it's inconvenient to go out," Li Yaolin asked, "What about you, why don't you bring your family?" By the way, Lao Zhou should bring an American girl back. ”

Wang Bo suddenly became interested and asked, "Zhou Dashao, you haven't soaked a few foreign girls in the United States?"

Zhou Zhengyu said triumphantly: "There are many, there are several changes, and the five permanent members of the United Nations are all alive." I'll tell you, I also soaked a black pearl. The skin is not particularly dark, it is smoother than silk, and the figure is needless to say, but the body odor is a little heavy. ”

"Huh!" everyone agreed, and at the same time moved the stool away and took a step back.

Wang Bo said to Nie Jun: "Yesterday Zhou Zhengyu took you to the hospital, you should accompany him to a blood test to check for AIDS or something." ”

Nie Jun shouted directly: "Boss, add another set of chopsticks!"

"Get out!" Zhou Zhengyu was furious.

"Hahahaha!"

There was another burst of laughter in the small courtyard.

The restaurant has already begun to serve food, and an old gentleman about 80 years old, who came out on crutches, said: "This dish is bacon in Beijing, one of the traditional representative dishes of the imperial court." Pork belly is cooked with sugar, salt, cooking wine and secret seasonings, dyed with beetroot for a bright color, and finally smoked with jasmine tea, brown sugar and peanut skin. Guests are invited to try the bacon to see if it tastes good. ”

Wang Bo reacted the fastest, got up and supported the other party: "Old gentleman, please sit, don't stand." ”

"You're guests, I'll just stand. The old gentleman waved his hand and smiled, no matter how much he persuaded him not to sit down.

Song Weiyang asked, "Mr. Gao Shou?"

The old gentleman said: "This year is 80. ”

"Then you're tough enough. Song Weiyang said.

"Eat well, sleep well, and your body will be fine," the old gentleman handed out a few business cards, "If the guests feel that it suits their taste, then they are welcome to come again next time." ”

This old man was a little interesting, and obviously recognized Song Weiyang. There is also a photo wall in the hall, and there are more than 10 photos of the old gentleman and Chinese and foreign leaders, as well as domestic and foreign celebrities such as Bill Gates and Jin Yong.

Before liberation, he studied chemistry at Fu Jen University, aeronautical engineering at Peiyang University, and after liberation, he transferred to Peking University to study architecture. When Peking University and Tsinghua University adjusted the Department of Architecture, he transferred to Tsinghua University to study under Liang Sicheng. But when he was a university teacher, he first taught basic and analytical chemistry, and when he retired, he was a professor of applied mathematics at the Capital University of Economics and Business.

The old gentleman's grandfather was the former Qing Dynasty Internal Affairs Governor, who was in charge of the meals of Cixi and the emperor, and the recipes in this small shop were all original recipes of the palace.

"Grandpa, I've come to see you!" a pretty girl of fourteen or fifteen years old rushed in.

The old gentleman immediately said goodbye with a smile and went to the back room with his granddaughter to chat. If the butterfly effect does not occur, the future husband of this little girl is the magician who "witnesses the miracle moment".

"Jade tofu is coming!"

After a while, my sister-in-law came out with the dishes and introduced: "This jade tofu is not made of tofu, the ingredients used are green beans." Don't look at the ordinary appearance, you need to add oil repeatedly and fry for 30 minutes, control the fire and oil to be just right, and the taste is not right if there is a slight mistake. Guests, please taste!"

When each dish was served, the little girl would introduce it in detail, and finally went to the back room with a smile.

Zhou Zhengyu said: "It's all authentic palace dishes, buddy has a treat this time." I'll tell you, I ordered more than 20 days in advance, and I almost didn't order it. There are still people who unsubscribe, and they only counted it for me, otherwise I wouldn't have this blessing today. ”

"Yes," Wang Bo gave a thumbs up, "I heard that there is a heaven and earth in the capital, and that is the first-class place." Lao Zhou, if you invite heaven and earth again tonight, I will call you brother in the future!"

Peng Shengli nibbled on the bacon, pointed at Wang Bo and joked: "Typical corrupt person, don't tell people that I know you!"

Wang Bo sighed: "I won't have a chance to be corrupt in the future, my buddy signed up to go to the western region, and I have to stay in the poor countryside for several years before I can come back." ”

"What's the situation?" asked Song Weiyang.

"Isn't the state implementing the strategy of large-scale development of the western region?" Wang Bo explained, "and the regiment has a task to encourage young cadres to go to the western region to support construction." My current job is really boring, I signed up as soon as my brain was hot, and my girlfriend knew that she had a lot of quarrels with me in the future, and it seemed that most of them were going to break up. Alas, I now regret and rejoice, I regret that I was too impulsive, and I am glad that I saw the true face of a woman. Really, fortunately I didn't get married, and I'm scared to think about it now. ”

Li Yaolin asked, "Where are you going?"

Wang Bo shook his head and said, "I don't know, I have to wait for the notice." ”

Song Weiyang said: "Yes, it's time to break through while you're young and accumulate more life experience." ”

Wang Bo smiled: "I'll think about it." I am now a Zhengke in Shenghai, and I am still a famous college student, and I have gone to the poor areas of the old and the young, so I should be the deputy county magistrate. When the time comes, I have to ask our boss Song to attract investment or something, so that I can send me back to the flower world in the big city as soon as possible. ”

"No problem, as long as the situation is right, I will definitely prioritize investment. Song Weiyang said.
