Chapter 116: Old Lady Tiekou
After Grandpa He and his two guards returned, Grandpa Xu went to the boiling water room to get hot water.
Jinhuan looked at the hot water and took out two basins from the space like a magic trick.
Master Xu looked at the two pots and asked Wanhuan: "Little Fish, why did you bring out all the pots at home?"
"Hehe, Zuzu, don't you have troops before they move the food and grass? The washbasin and foot basin are also war preparation supplies, so of course they should go wherever they go?" Jinhuan said to Master Xu with a smile.
Master Xu touched Jinhuan's head, "You are the best at talking about misleading!"
After washing up, the grandparents and grandchildren lay on the bed and soon entered the Black Sweet Country.
After several days of train journey, I spent almost all my energy.
Although they are all sleeper berths, the problem is that the trains are noisy now, and Xu Zuye dares not sleep too well on the train.
He also took care of three children when he was out, for fear that something would happen to the night.
Early the next morning, Master Xu really brought all the fun and prepared to go out to taste the delicious food.
Xu Zuye is actually not familiar with the capital. He used to be when he was studying in the military academy and came to the capital for meetings and business trips.
But he was in charge of the mission, and the troops had also arranged their travels, so he had no time or reason to come out and wander, let alone find any delicious food.
The old man is already a rough life, and he can eat a few cold steamed buns in the canteen and drink a few sips of water to help him fill his body.
As for now, he has no official position and is very gentle, and his great granddaughter is his big-hearted baby, so naturally he will do whatever he says.
When he was drinking last night, he asked Mr. He about what delicious food and fun things were available in the capital.
At that time, Grandpa He laughed at him and said, "Why did a man once become a great-grandson slave of the twenty-four filial piety?"
Master Xu can’t help but laugh at him or her. Now he feels good about his heart when he goes out. Isn’t that great?
The grandparents and grandsons took several bus stops, got off in an alley, and went directly into a courtyard.
Jinhuan looked at the door, and there was no sign. It was probably a private restaurant that was secretly open at home.
An old lady in her fifties smiled and said to Master Xu, "You are here? What do you want to eat today?"
At first glance, Jinhuan thought that Master Xu had been here for dinner before.
"I was introduced by someone else, and I don't know what you have. Let's take a look. Our appetite is OK, and we are not afraid of not being able to eat it!" Master Xu also said casually.
The old lady poured tea and put a plate of sakchima, pulled the bell at the door a few times, and then stood aside.
Jinhuan watched the bell tied with thread and walked along the edge of the eaves to the house behind.
Ordering dishes with bells is a bit interesting, at least it is very stylish.
Jinhuan looked at the slightly yellow plate of Saqima, picked up a piece and took a bite without fear of sweetness, and his eyes immediately lit up.
The taste is moderate, not as sweet as you imagined, loose and soft, and has a milky aroma.
"Grandma, your sakya is so delicious!" Jinhuan gave a thumbs up at the smiling old lady.
The old lady smiled even more, "This little princess is really good at knowing things. My family has run pastry shops throughout the ages. I haven't learned any skills. Just Saqima is doing it well!"
"Are you a Manchu? Only Manchus call the little girl Gege, right?" Jinhuan chatted with the old lady himself.
The old lady nodded, "That's right, only the official or noble women in our Manchus can be called princesses!"
"Then I'm just calling me wrong!" Jin Huan chatted with the old lady with a smile.
The old lady waved her hand and said, "Old woman, I can't do anything in my life, I just have a good look! You see, you are from a military family, right?"
"How did you guess it?" Master Xu became interested, "Can you see the picture!"
"I just understand a little bit!" The old lady said modestly and arrogantly: "But there is no problem with looking at the cause and effect of blessings!"
Master Xu also reached out to give a thumbs up. He felt that the kind of person who said he had made a prediction as soon as he came up was definitely a liar.
But the old lady still looks a bit capable now.
"Then can you see my baby?" Xu Zuye asked tentatively.
The old lady shook her head and said, "In theory, fortune tellers are not considered children's lives, but it's okay if your little princess says it,
You must also know that she has an extraordinary background and is definitely not bad in terms of luck.
Recently, she has been covered in dragon energy, and even demons and evil spirits cannot get close to her.
If I meet someone with such great luck, I am lucky enough to be in this life. What else can I do to make me think?”
After hearing this, Master Xu fell into deep thought.
The old lady had seen through his military background before, but he thought it was a coincidence.
Now even Jinhuan's bottom has been lifted, and he can't help but refuse to believe it.
Jinhuan felt a lot of heart when he heard the old lady's words, but he still held Saqima and chewed it, pretending not to hear the conversation between Xu Zuye and the old lady.
At this time, no move is better than any move, and nothing can compare to pretending to be stupid.
After half a minute of silence, Master Xu packed up his expression and joked.
"You are really joking. Now that the Qing Dynasty has fallen, there is no emperor, so how can you have any dragon energy?
Besides, my family is a girl. Can you still be an emperor? Not everyone has the talent and strategy of Empress Wu Zetian!"
"Who said that the emperor is the one who has dragon energy to protect her? Besides, the dragon energy of your child is not a real dragon, but the dragon energy of practicing dragon energy is hard to come by, and it is also a great fortune against the will of heaven!" The old lady was a little anxious when she heard that Master Xu didn't believe her words.
Master Xu smiled and was about to say something to hide it. At this moment, a middle-aged man entered the house with a large tray, and shouted when he entered the house:
"Careful fried liver and steaming buns!"
Jinhuan looked at two big bowls of fried liver and a large plate of white buns, and immediately her appetite rose.
The fried liver looks bright and thick, the garlic smell is full of flavor, and the brown and yellow thick soup looks good just soy sauce.
I tasted the fat intestines, which were processed very cleanly, and there was no odor when I ate them, and then I opened it to eat.
In fact, many people from other places were not used to fried livers later. First, they felt that their fat intestines were smelly.
Then add the unique fermentation flavor of soybean paste and the garlic paste in the soup.
The combined smells are a stinking bomb for many people.
Especially those who have a light taste and obvious taste, they are even more useless.
Jinhuan ate fried liver and buns very delicious. People who come to the capital are not used to fried liver and have a big loss.
As for Master Xu, he was not picky about food at first. Seeing his great-granddaughter happy eating, he only felt that the taste that he was not used to was also unique.
After Xu Zuye and Jinhuan finished their meal, the middle-aged man recognized him and collected the money. He should be the son of the old lady just now.
The middle-aged man apologized to Master Xu and said, "My mother is a little bit treacherous when she is old. She has disturbed you and you two for dinner!"
"No, it's interesting to chat with the old lady!" Master Xu waved his hand and said it was okay.
The final account price was four or five yuan and didn’t ask for food coupons, which was actually not expensive.
The buns in state-owned hotels outside are not as big as that, and they have to be one or two cents a day.
I just put ten buns on it. The liver and fat in the fried liver are still meat, and the portion is actually quite large.
I can only say that this private dish is still very real. More importantly, it is not necessary to eat enough if you have money, and you don’t have to spend Xu Zuye’s national food coupons.
After dinner, Master Xu took Jin Huan straight to Tiananmen Square, which was very similar to the style of traveling freely in the capital in later generations.
Many people who come to the capital for the first time must be Tiananmen Square. It seems that they will not be able to carry out their subsequent travel itineraries without visiting Tiananmen Square first.
Jinhuan took out the camera from his bag and took a photo of Master Xu.
There are very few photos of Mr. Xu at home, and he can count them with just one slap. Among them are memorial photos during work activities.
After Jinhuan finished the photo, he happily mocked Master Xu for having a camera phobia. When Jinhuan said something about it, he couldn't help but raise his chest and raise his head, and put the middle fingers of his hands tightly on the slits.
After teaching Xu Zuye to use the camera, Jinhuan asked Xu Zuye to take a few photos for her.
