Chapter 260: Bad Days
In fact, the scenery is very beautiful here. Dining is really interesting.
Whether it is sitting in the "Yilan Hall" or "Daoning Zhai" to eat. You can look north at the lake, the boat, the five dragon pavilion, the small west sky, full of splendor.
So for this kind of thing of spending money to be slaughtered and being treated equally with foreigners, Hong Yanwu and they are completely willing.
Usually they ask for a "stir-fried" meat dish and a vegetarian dish such as "mushroom and cabbage sum", and then eat some palace snacks such as "minced pork cake", "pea yellow", "Aiwowo" and "kidney bean roll" with "hazelnut sauce". Then eat and drink to your heart's content, and go to "Beihai Park" as freely as you can.
If they are particularly in good spirits, they can also imitate the singing conception of "Let's Swing Double Pulp", rent a boat to go boating on the lake, pick lotus flowers, pick lotus flowers, and see lake ducks and water birds.
Or simply find a secluded place by the lake, where the lake breeze blows under the weeping willows, chatting, playing cards, and staring at it.
It's easy to pass away on a hot afternoon.
As for "Zhongshan Park", although there are tea houses on all sides, it is most famous for the "Laijin Yuxuan" in the east.
To what extent is this place famous? Some people say that it was the State Council during the Republic of China.
Although this is a joke, it is not an exaggeration. Because if there is really a place in the capital during the Republic of China where celebrities in various fields have left footprints, then it is "Laijin Yuxuan".
The president of the Republic of China, the prime minister, the chief minister, the deputy minister and other military and political figures, as well as countless cultural, financial, and industrial figures, as long as they have been to the capital, almost all come to Jinyuxuan.
Zhang Hatshui wrote "The Cause of Laughter" here, and Lu Xun also translated "Little John" here.
If you ask them what they love, it's nothing more than the environment.
The café of "Laijin Yuxuan" has a unique style. It is very close to the front door, covers a wide area, has a canopy in the front, and a shop hall in the back.
Next to the canopy is the ancient acacia, accompanied by the carved beams and painted buildings far against the blue sky, close to the red wall, and there is always a slippery little wind. Not only is it enough to escape the heat, but it is also the best place to watch flowers, listen to cicadas, enjoy the coolness, and talk at night.
For decades, there have been tea houses, rattan tables and rattan chairs under the front iron canopy, which has basically maintained a pattern.
But it must also be said that today's dishes are not as exquisite as when Chinese and Western food were served alternately in the past. In addition to beer and soft drinks, you can only buy cold dishes such as sausage platters, cucumbers, and pine eggs.
Fortunately, the most famous "winter vegetable buns" have finally been preserved.
The stuffing in this bun is cooked meat filling and winter vegetables, which has a faint and sweet taste, and the dough is also very good, without pinching pleats, like steamed buns. For this bite, there are not a few tourists who come to buy it.
In fact, to be honest, don't look at this aspect with a little regret, but it is precisely because of this that the consumption of "Laijin Yuxuan" at this time is very close to the people.
A pot of incense, two cents, and four free small plates. You can also borrow newspapers and periodicals, which is very intimate and basically anyone can afford to go.
But ordinary people just don't go, in addition to being reluctant to pay those two cents, they are also shackled by concepts, and they always feel that it is not the place they should go.
So this can make Hong Yanwu and them comfortable.
Usually, they don't look down on the simple dishes of "Laijin Yuxuan", and they often have to go to Wangfujing's "Vegan Zhai" to queue up to buy some "vegetarian mix" and "vegetarian chicken", and then go to "Puwufang" to buy some sauce duck and barbecued pork. Then I came back with a few pursates.
All they need is cold beer, cucumbers, pine eggs and winter vegetable buns. Then I sat down in the shade of a tree, opened my pouch, drank a cold beer, and used it as a food stall.
When they finish eating, they won't leave again. After cleaning up the table, I took a few more newspapers and leaned back on the rattan chair.
At this time, the red sun is scorching, the shadows are spotted, and I don't hear the whispers, but listening to the cicadas "rustling", a wave of sound waves can simply float people.
It won't be long before everyone squints and falls asleep.
When I wake up, I have a mental head, and I am thirsty. At this time, you need a pot of tea, which is the real time to drink tea and read the newspaper.
After reading the book and newspaper, the tea was almost drunk. Maybe if you take a walk around the park, you can go back to your own home.
Vegetables should be bought before the end of the rush hour to avoid queuing. After arriving home, Hong Yanwu and "Sugar Heart" must first pull up the roller shutters that were put down in the east wing during the day. Then take a shower and take a shower.
Dinner is not in a hurry, and it is often done together when the two of them are chatting and teasing together.
When there is shade under the west wall, they bring bamboo chairs and small tables, turn on the radio, and sit together to eat the home-cooked meals that every family makes.
"Spread yellow cabbage", "shoot cucumbers", "burst pickled old melons", "shallots mixed with tofu", take a bought pancake and drink some mung bean soup.
Or maybe it's the "winter vegetable buns" packed back, paired with "coriander winter melon soup".
There is nothing to be picky about, no matter how simple and ordinary the food is, this feeling of living at home is what Hong Yanwu and "Sugar Heart" like.
After dinner, Hong Yanwu often picks up his belongings and goes to water the flowers and plants in the yard because the weather is too hot. After doing this work, no matter whether it was dark or not, he and "Sugar Heart" would not enter the house, and still had to stay in the courtyard until late at night.
To be honest, although there is nothing to do, this kind of leisure is Hong Yanwu's favorite. There's a lot of fun, too.
For example, sitting in the courtyard, listening to the insects chirping of "grasshoppers" and "golden bells", and watching the bats flying very low.
Another example is watching "Sugar Heart" mash nail grass with alum and dye her nails red one by one.
Or maybe he told one or two indifferent jokes that made "Sugar Heart" cover his mouth and laugh.
Or watch the "sugar heart" make a delicate little flower basket with the locust flowers on the locust tree outside.
And when night falls, the scene in the small courtyard is really beautiful.
The shadow of the melon shed was replaced by a little moonlight like water. A little bit of starlight shone in the melon leaves. They were all fireflies, like stars falling from the sky.
Although there is no wind at all in the hottest season, the hosta flowers under the wall are just as proud, and there is still a burst of fragrance at night.
At this time, the "sugar heart" is also the most beautiful, shaking the arm of the fan, and the exposed feet are dyed and shiny by the moonlight.
couldn't help but be emotional, Hong Yanwu would pick a hosta flower and insert it in the hair of "Sugar Heart".
It's a pity that "Sugar Heart" still doesn't appreciate it, so he took it off, smelled it, and put it on the table.
"Don't spoil my flowers, let alone bring flowers at night, who do you think of me?"
Hong Yanwu could only smile, "What is this? It's not tuberose, it's hosta flower ......."
Suddenly, he remembered something, and his hand couldn't help touching the stomach of "Sugar Heart".
"By the way, daughter-in-law, how is your body doing? Do you feel it? My Teacher Chang and Teacher Gu have given birth to a big fat boy. I thought, we are better than them at this age, people fight for a breath, we can't lose to them......"
"No, what do you want......
Although "Sugar Heart" was blushing, she would not push away Hong Yanwu's hand that was rubbing her lower abdomen.
Because being a mother is also a woman's faint expectation......
I found that many friends read books too roughly. Hong Yanwu ostensibly lives in the old house in the name of repairing the house, and "Sugar Heart" belongs to the dark Chen Cang. Not to mention the tutor of the Hong family, Hong Yanwu was not a person who violated the rules when he was a child. Even if he understands the truth, he has to be willing to do it. In addition, if you complain that there is no plot, I want to tell you that this is a plot foreshadowing, and you definitely don't believe it. But I can't tell you the plot idea. You can ask yourself if you see the protagonist's future career line.
