Chapter 177: Hidden in the City
After lunch, He Chongjiu drove the jeep from yesterday to pick up the joy.
Shen Yunqi stood at the door of the car and explained to He Chongjiu that he must pay attention to safety, and he would send him back after dinner.
He Chongjiu saluted and replied, "Yes!" Heads! Mission completion guaranteed! ”
Huan Huan sat in the co-pilot and waved to Shen Yunqi, "Uncle, don't worry, I'll come back after dinner!" ”
He Chongjiu drove all the way into the city, and although it was a little sunny at noon, he could hardly feel the temperature.
Most of the students who ran out against the north wind were students who came to the capital to connect with each other.
On the larger streets, groups of people wearing imitation military uniforms and wearing red armbands walked by.
When He Chongjiu got out of the car, several young men in military uniforms saw He Chongjiu and came up to say hello.
"Second cousin!" A stocky young man shouted.
He Chongjiu nodded his head in response, he got out of the car and went around to the co-pilot to pull the car door and let Duan Huan get out of the car.
A girl behind the short and fat young man stuck out her head, "Second cousin, did Mrs. He actually lend you the car?" Can I ride in your car for a while? ”
"Who are you?" He Chongjiu's face was colder than the snow on the road.
The little girl suddenly felt aggrieved, and spoke with a crying voice: "Second cousin, I'm Jiaojiao, Qiao Rongjiao, you don't know me anymore?" ”
He Chongjiu still had a paralyzed face, and he still had no impression of this girl.
"Second cousin, don't pay attention to my little sister, the little girl is hypocritical!" The fat young man said, "Can I borrow your car in a while?" ”
"No, I don't have time," He Chongjiu directly refused, "I'll leave after I finish shopping!" ”
He had a bad relationship with Qiao Dongshuang, and Qiao Dongshuang's maiden home was also in the capital, but he didn't necessarily go there once in a few years.
I am not familiar with the brothers and sisters of the same generation in the Qiao family, and I don't even recognize my face, let alone any affection.
Especially the little girl just now, her speech was sticky and crooked, and he didn't hesitate to refuse.
He Chongjiu pulled Duan Huan and left, leaving the Qiao family brothers and sisters stunned in place, and just left?
The two of them were not familiar with He Chongjiu, but He Chongjiu's character was really too different from He Chongyang they were familiar with.
Even if you don't give face at all, you don't even owe an expression, and there is no one.
"Brother-I want to take a car!" Qiao Rongjiao pulled his brother Qiao Rongyang's sleeve and swayed from side to side.
Qiao Rongyang shook off her hand, "I still want to take the car, haven't you seen that people won't let me?" ”
"What's so great about He Chongjiu, it's not that the second aunt doesn't like him!" Qiao Rongjiao kicked the snowdrift hard.
The snowdrifts piled on the side of the road were originally stepped on, and they were dirty, and they were kicked by Qiao Rongjiao, and the dirty snow was even muddy and splashed, splashing the brother and sister.
Qiao Rongyang looked at the brand-new army cotton pants that were splashed dirty, and was so angry that he couldn't fight anywhere, "Dead girl, I knew it would be no good to take you out!" ”
Huan heard the words of the two siblings, and thought about Qiao Dongshuang's virtue.
It seems that the name of the Qiao family's so-called scholarly family is really famous.
He Chongjiu had actually heard the words of the Qiao family brothers and sisters, and he had heard such words many times, and he had long been numb.
Duan Huan shook He Chongjiu's hand with his hand, "Brother Chongjiu......"
"Don't worry, I'm used to it!" He Chongjiu said with a slight smile.
He Chongjiu smiled and took Duan Huan to visit the dim sum shop, Duan Huan had no experience in dim sum, but fell in love with the rock sugar gourd in the glass cabinet.
This rock sugar gourd is a little different from the one I bought at the temple fair before.
The sugar gourd here is particularly long, and there are about 20 hawthorns on the bamboo sticks, and the sugar coating of the hawthorn is sprinkled with sesame seeds.
He Chongjiu took out the money ticket and bought a bunch for Duan Huan, and Duan Huan took a bite of the sugar gourd, after the maltose was slightly sweet for a short time, the sour taste of hawthorn overflowed the entire mouth, and finally the fragrance of sesame seeds could be eaten when chewing in the mouth.
Hawthorn is pitted, so it is convenient to eat without spitting out the core.
"Brother Chongjiu, you can eat one too!" Huan stretched out the sugar gourd in front of He Chongjiu.
Although He Chongjiu felt that a big man eating a sugar gourd was a bit of something, he still lowered his head and ate one with his happy hand.
He bit the sugar gourd while listening to He Chongjiu's popular science.
In fact, this dim sum shop was also a century-old brand in the past, but after the public-private partnership, it was changed to a state-run store.
The master who makes dim sum is actually still the original team, so the taste of the dim sum is not very different from before.
It's just that many materials are not easy to procure now, so the style of dim sum has become less.
Duan Huan originally planned to go to the Forbidden City Museum, but at the entrance of the museum, looking at the closed door that was about to be flooded with slogans, he decisively prepared to withdraw.
Like museums, the Summer Palace and Beihai are also closed, so there is nothing to visit.
So He Chongjiu took all the joy to string up the alley.
In addition to getting a lot of photos, I also bought a lot of snacks from private restaurants.
These small restaurants are privately owned, so naturally they cannot be open, and can only be hidden in the small courtyards of inconspicuous houses.
I don't know how He Zhong figured out these private restaurants, and he remembered the characteristics of each one clearly.
"Xu Bao'er, what do you want to eat for dinner?" He Chongjiu looked at his watch and felt that the time was almost up.
Duan Huan said that there is no room for pickiness under this condition now, "It's all right!" Eat what is convenient! ”
He Chongyang took Duan Huan to a courtyard house with a state-run hotel sign.
When I entered the yard, I saw a tall middle-aged man, standing in the yard against the wind, cutting frozen mutton.
It is not an ordinary kitchen knife that cuts mutton, but a special long knife, and when the knife goes down, a large piece of thin and large mutton will come down.
From the knife to the end of the knife, only one hand is used throughout the whole process, and the other hand is behind the back, so there is no need to hold the mutton at all.
Huan Huan was very surprised to see it, a cut of mutton, picked up in the orange light, can also transmit light.
"Senior Brother Zhang!" He Chongjiu shouted.
The middle-aged man who cut the meat didn't raise his head, "Xiao Jiu'er is here, go sit in the house, I'll go in after cutting these!" ”
There were more than a dozen tables in the room, and there were copper pots on the tables, and the smell of mutton soup wafted through the whole room.
Duan Huan is really curious about He Chongjiu's Senior Brother Zhang, and it can be seen from his meat-cutting behavior that this is not an ordinary person.
It's like a hidden master who is hidden in the city, mingling in the rivers and lakes, living the life of an ordinary person.
After a while, that Senior Brother Zhang took two large plates of sharp mutton and put them on the table where they were.
"Xiao Jiu'er, why do you have time to come and see me today?" Senior Brother Zhang sat down with a golden knife, "Huh? Who is this little girl? ”
He Chongjiu touched Duan Huan's head, "This is the little sister of the World Friendship Family, Xu Bao'er, you can follow me and call Senior Brother Zhang!" ”
"Hello Senior Brother Zhang, my big name is Xu Duhuan, you can also call me Xiao Yu'er!" Wan Huan looked at Senior Brother Zhang with shiny eyes.
Senior Brother Zhang nodded, and took off the fish-shaped wooden card on his wrist, "It just so happens that your name is Xiao Yu'er, and this wooden fish card will be given to you as a gift." ”
"Senior Brother Zhang, this brand looks like a long-ago thing, it must be very valuable, I can't take it!" Duan Huan shook his head and did not reach out to catch the wooden fish card.
Senior Brother Zhang said with a smile: "The little girl's eyes are quite good, and the time is indeed not short, but it is an ordinary wooden sign that is not worth much, take it!" ”
"Xu Bao'er, Senior Brother Zhang is rarely pleasing to the eye, so you can sell him to save face!" He Chongjiu actually made a joke, and it seems that he is very close to this Senior Brother Zhang.
Speaking of which, he took the Muyu card with both hands.
Gifts are exchanged, and he happily took out a bamboo tube of tea from his bag.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhang, for the meeting gift, this is the wild tea from my hometown, give Senior Brother Zhang a taste of freshness!"
Senior Brother Zhang opened the bamboo lid and sniffed, "Good tea!" It's the first time I've received a gift from a little doll. ”
He Chongjiu was really curious about Zhang Kaicheng when he saw it, so he told her the origin of Senior Brother Zhang, whose father was one of He Chongjiu's fist and foot masters.
The Zhang family is a martial arts family, with a family history of hundreds of thousands of years, and now in the environment of the big storm, it has also been affected a lot.
Because Zhang Kaicheng couldn't get used to those people doing nonsense, he ruthlessly cleaned up those people and created a lot of chaos for them.
The things that those people looted were also served by him, and then exchanged them for money and distributed them among the families of those who were suffering.
The matter was too big, and it was inconvenient for him to go back to the road in his hometown, so he let him come to the capital to avoid it for a few years.
In the capital, Zhang Kaicheng found a job related to knife skills - a slice of mutton!
It's cold and snowy outside, in a warm room, drinking a bowl of mutton soup, and the feeling of shabu mutton is not too good.
Zhang Kaicheng brought the mutton, a plate is estimated to have two catties, and there are also a lot of radish, fungus, and tofu, all of which are eaten cleanly.
But mutton is so good, it's all lean meat and not greasy.
People who are accustomed to the taste of mutton, as long as their appetite is good enough, it is not a problem to eat three or five plates.
When Duan Huan and He Chongjiu were about to say goodbye to Zhang Kaicheng, I don't know why, the two tables in the corner were fighting.
Zhang Kaicheng didn't say a word, slapped on an empty table, and looked at it without any force, and the table immediately shattered into slag.
The two groups of people looked at the wood fragments on the ground, and immediately became as quiet as chickens, and one by one they bent their necks and did not dare to speak.
"All the dishes and dishes you broke will be compensated according to the price, and there is also this table!" Zhang Kaicheng said in a calm tone.
Someone young man immediately handed over the money ticket in his pocket, "We don't know Mount Tai if we have eyes, I'm sorry if we offend!" ”
"I'm sorry! Sorry! The people at the other table also respectfully handed over the money tickets.
The two tables quickly slipped away, and at first glance, this was a hard stubble that could not be provoked, and the faster they slipped away, the better.
Zhang Kaicheng handed the money ticket to the director of the hotel in the corner, and then sent them out.
