Chapter 22 Mid-Autumn Festival Holiday 3
"Nini, what do you want to eat at noon?" Uncle asked.
Anne said assummatically, "Quanjude roast duck."
Uncle smiled and said: "Nini is a layman, Quanjude is really good, and his reputation is also big, but the old Yanjing people know that if you want to talk about the roast duck, then you have to say that it is a cheap place, 600 years old, and the roast duck in the oven does not see the open flame, it is called an authentic."
My aunt said, "Quanju Denini has been there, we should try the bargain today."
Xiaodong said: "Mom, don't be verbose, I'm dying of hunger, hurry up, don't care if it's Quanjude or Cheap Fang, hurry up and go!"
Cheap Fang Roast Duck Restaurant is a famous "Chinese time-honored brand" restaurant in Yanjing, founded in the 14th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1416 AD), and has a history of nearly 600 years.
After the changes of the times, it has continued the business characteristics of authentic traditional stewed oven roast duck and Shandong-style dishes, and has restored its original name after "cultural #life".
The business area of the bargain shop is more than 2,000 square meters, and the large restaurant and private room can accommodate thousands of people at the same time.
Anne followed her aunt's family into the door of the bargain shop, and her aunt asked the waiter, "Is there a private room?"
The waiter replied, "Yes."
My uncle said, "There is no atmosphere in the private room, and it is not the smell of coldness and loneliness."
Xiao Dong also said: "The big restaurant is good and lively."
The big restaurant is noisy and noisy, and the diners are full of customers, and business is booming. A family of four found a table to sit down under the guidance of the waiter, and the other waiter immediately served tea.
My uncle took out a pack of Chinese brand cigarettes and handed one to my aunt, who took out a lighter from her bag and lit it for my uncle and herself in turn.
The uncle handed the recipe to Anne and said, "Nini, you can order some food." Whatever you want to eat, you can order it. ”
Anne took the recipe and pulled Xiao Dong next to her and said, "Come on, come on, you help me order it together, my sister has never been to the cheap shop, you come and recommend it to me."
Xiao Dong looked at the recipe, but he didn't see a name, so he simply said to the waiter: "A roast duck, you can recommend the rest."
The waiter, uh-huh, uh-huh, can't say why.
Uncle hurriedly interjected: "A roast duck, four hot dishes, two cold dishes, choose the signature dish that can best represent the characteristics of the cheap shop, match the meat and vegetables, and ask for a bottle of Wuliangye ......"
My aunt looked up at the waiter while smoking a cigarette and said, "No, don't want Wuliangye, bring four bottles of hot Lulu Almond Syrup." Isn't it a waste to remove one of the four hot dishes, and four people can't eat them all? The child's father can't drink alcohol while driving. ”
The uncle said, "Your Majesty, you don't need to save me money today, you have to let the children eat well!"
My aunt extinguished her cigarette, frowned and said, "Drink a fart, you have to drive Nini home in the afternoon, can you still drive after drinking?" Besides, there are a lot of dishes here, so it's good to be able to eat these dishes. My family is not a treat, what kind of Wuliangye do you drink, I look at you, you are dizzy! ”
While waiting for the dishes, Anne silently drank almond syrup, casually flipped through the recipes, and listened to her aunt and uncle chatting.
The unit price on the recipe ranges from more than ten yuan, dozens of yuan to hundreds of yuan, every time Anne goes out to eat with the adults, she always only brings one mouth, and eats with a boring head when the food is served, and never looks at the recipe, but today Anne is curious, how much does it cost to eat a meal?
Anne put down the recipe, looked around at the luxurious decoration of the restaurant and the appearance of the diners as if no one was eating, and in the noisy collision of plates, bowls, cups and chopsticks, Anne seemed to have a little low blood sugar and a feeling of dizziness, as if there was a force of fate that pulled an originally unattainable world of flowers in front of Anne.
Anne breathed a long sigh of relief, and a look of ambition quietly appeared in her eyes, feeling that she was vaguely grasping something in her hand.
Two cold dishes were served first, and the family picked up the almond syrup in the goblet, clinking glasses to each other and wishing each other a good time.
During the banquet, just after touching a round of cups, my aunt looked at Anne and said: "Nini, what's inside, you went to Frankfurt to study in high school, my aunt thinks you should still be cautious, you see, you are studying in Tangcheng now, close to Yanjing, 2~3 hours by car." It's not far from Jiangcheng, the plane arrives in 2 hours, you have a New Year's holiday, it's easy for us to meet, but if you go to Germany, it's difficult! ”
My aunt's words seem to be casual, but if you continue to talk casually, you can lead to a series of sensitive topics through this topic.
Anne heard it, my aunt was a lobbyist sent by my father this time, in a word, I didn't want Anne to go to Germany to study, Anne waved it with her hand holding chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Yes, aunt, I heard it, you just don't want me to go to Frankfurt to study, you just don't want me to get close to my cousin's family, right?"
Uncle exaggerated with both hands and said with a smile: "Nini, how can you have such an idea? Your aunt and your father didn't let you go to Frankfurt because they were afraid that you would be close to your mother's relatives. The main reason is that Europe is not safe and secure, you are still too young, you don't understand, there are people in this world who fight endlessly for interests and resources every day, so if you don't believe it. From today you can follow the news in Europe. Or just focus on Germany and Frankfurt, you pay attention to a year, how many explosions and shootings occur every day, Europe is not as beautiful and romantic as you children fantasize, you don't think that it is Yanjing, Jiangcheng, or any city in China, forever a picture of quiet years, living and working in peace. ”
Anne was stunned and didn't say a word!
My aunt also smiled, looked at my uncle and said, "What are you telling the children about this?" Don't freak out the kids, where are they going to understand what you're saying now? ”
Xiaodong also smiled and said: "Oh, Dad, you don't understand, then what sister actually wants to live independently, my aunt is so busy, my sister is mostly at home alone, it is better to live on campus, with classmates, while being self-reliant, I have completely gained freedom, Dad, Mom, freedom, you know?" What's inside, isn't there a poem? Life is precious, love is more valuable, if it is for freedom, both can be thrown away......"
My aunt stared at me with big eyes and said fiercely: "Liu Xiaodong, you shut your mouth for me, it's just a fart, are you, is freedom more important or life important?" Yes? In addition, if you want to live on campus, you can, but the problem is that there are no schools in China that live on campus? Not going to Europe? Running so far, what if something happens and your parents are not around? You kid is restless, let me tell you, don't give me that dream, you give me an honest stay in Yanjing, and you are not allowed to study abroad under the age of 18, let alone study abroad. ”
Xiao Dong looked at Anne, the two of them were like green leafy vegetables in a wilting bar, and they didn't dare to fight anymore, because they found that there were no human rights and freedoms at all.
Anne thought that she would be 18 years old soon, and when she was 18 years old, she would no longer have to be constrained by people, the world was so big, Anne had to go out and have a look.
Xiao Dong put his mouth full of roast duck fat and said to Anne's ear: "Sister~ Let's go to the Western Regions to study in college in the future, the Western Regions are far away from home, I have had enough, I just want to stay away from my mother, my mother is simply a psychotic + Fa # Si."
Anne was oiled all over her ears by Xiao Dong, but she was amused by his insane + farthic arguments.
Eh, it seems that people, what you can't get is the best, in fact, Anne has always been very envious of Xiaodong before, Xiaodong is beautiful, and has a very happy family.
Xiaodong's mother is a small section-level cadre in the system, although she is also busy with work, but she is still much better than Anne's mother, at least she doesn't need to train and study for 1-2 months 2-3 times a year, and she can often accompany Xiaodong at home.
Not to mention Xiaodong's father, Anne's uncle is the best and best father and husband in the world, my uncle has been a military soldier from 16 to 31 years old when he was young, and he worked and lived in the military compound before he changed jobs at the age of 31. And it also has the unique heroic spirit and aura of Chinese soldiers, and most importantly, it is called a thousand obedient and obedient to my aunt.
Anne's aunt has been a well-known beauty since she was a child, and the people who pursued my aunt back then, it is not an exaggeration, it is not an exaggeration, there are not ten thousand, but eight thousand. And my aunt is the only daughter of my grandparents, and she has been pampered by her parents and brothers since she was a child, and she has developed an aunt's self-respecting personality.
When my aunt grew up, she corresponded with my uncle who was still in the army for more than three years before they got together. Later, the aunt who entered the marriage was Her Royal Highness the Queen, who was alive and well.
Anne envied Xiaodong for having such parents. I also envy my aunt and uncle, in that special era, the love story of Hongyan passed on the book, someone said: "For a minor child, the best gift that parents can give their children is parents who love each other!" Anne thinks this statement makes perfect sense!
