Shen Yunqi smiled heartily when he saw Jin Huan's pouty look, "Well said, we have to look good so that we are not easy to mess with, and we have to be brave and resourceful so that we won't be bullied! This is how the country is, and how we should be as human beings! "

When Grandpa Xu heard Shen Yunqi's praise, he felt very comfortable. Jinhuan was very smart and courageous. If anyone praised him when he went out, his vanity would be satisfied.

At this time, the speed of the old-fashioned trains was very slow, and it was completely incomparable with the later high-speed trains. It took more than an hour to reach such a small distance.

The grandfather and grandson said goodbye to Shen Yunqi. Shen Yunqi did not leave the station and immediately bought a ticket to return north.

Jin Huan, a face-loving beauty, even went out of her way to nag Shen Yunqi: "Uncle Shen, you must visit my home next time you come here. My home is in Tianshui Village, Longmen Commune. It's very easy to find!"

"Okay, okay, next time I come here I will definitely bring some Beijing items for Xiao Yu'er!" Shen Yunqi also touched Jin Huan's head and said goodbye to them. He liked this quirky little girl so much that he always let her Thinking of his little sister, if his little sister was alive, her child would be as old as Jinhuan and would definitely be very cute.

After exiting the station, there were a lot of people outside the train station and it was a bit crowded.

Grandpa Xu quickly picked up Jinhuan and went out. There were so many people so we couldn’t be careless. There was a mixed bag of people in a place like the train station, and there were a lot of traffickers and pickpockets.

After leaving the station, I didn’t immediately take Jinhuan to the guest house. Instead, I took a bus through the city.

At this time, Jincheng was still very old, and there were very few buildings in the central city, mostly bungalows.

At this moment, the Prince of Shu's Mansion is still there. This ancient historical building survived the war and stands there desolately.

Who would have thought that this ancient imperial city dam, which had stood for nearly six hundred years and covered an area of ​​600 acres, had survived many rounds of artillery fire, only to be completely destroyed in the ideological "revolution" a few years later.

Except for a few place names, the Shu Palace, whose architecture is comparable to the Forbidden City, seems to have never existed in this city.

It's really sad that you know this situation and can't change it!

"What's wrong with Xiao Yu'er? Are you feeling unwell?" Jin Huan's wilted expression, which was mourning the past, frightened Grandpa Xu so much that he thought she was feeling unwell.

Jinhuan shook his head, "It's okay Zuzu, where are we going?"

"We'll get off the bus soon." As soon as Mr. Xu finished speaking, he heard the conductor announcing the stop and quickly took Jin Huan to get off the bus.

Isn’t this the Kuanzhai Hutong of later generations? What are you doing here?

These alleys will become famous tourist and commercial streets in Jincheng in a few decades. There is an endless stream of people traveling there every day. They had so much fun in their previous lives that they even opened a cheongsam shop here.

But at that time, tourism was developing very well here, and land was at a premium, so shop rents were sky-high.

Jinhuan's store's revenue and expenditure remained unbalanced, so it closed the store and turned to an all-network operation.

Grandpa Xu took Jinhuan deep into the alley and came to a wooden gate. He took out a key and unlocked the door.

"This is our house, come on, come in with Zuzu!" Grandpa Xu picked up Jinhuan and walked through the threshold. The threshold was high, but Jinhuan still had short legs.

Jinhuan was shocked: "Our house?"

"Yes! This is our family's ancestral property. Your great-grandfather sold it when he returned to his hometown. Later, I bought it back when I grew up. From now on, this house will be left to us, Xiao Yuer, as a dowry." Grandpa Xu looked at it. Looking at Jin Huan's eyes shining like a money fan makes me want to laugh.

Jinhuan was knocked unconscious by a pie named "Tuhao".

This is a two-entry courtyard house in a tourist district, with two courtyards at the front and back, and nearly twenty houses of various sizes.

After the reform and opening up, if you don't do business and rent it out, the rent will be more than 100,000 yuan a month.

It is not easy to own such a large yard as private property nowadays, because if you are not careful, you will be "beat up by local tyrants" and divide the house.

It is now normal for more than 10 households to live in a house under this kind of regulation. Anyway, it is allocated by the state, or it is occupied by the poor people themselves. Once they occupy it, they will not leave. Even if the property rights are not clear, if it takes decades,

After the relocation, the family still has a house to live in and receives the demolition money.

Grandpa Xu found a broom from nowhere, and while he was enjoying himself playing, he swept the floor in the yard. Everything in the yard was paved, there were not many weeds, but there was a lot of dust from fallen leaves.

Sweeping the floor and weeding took up a lot of time.

After Grandpa Xu had tidied up the yard, he saw Jin Huan hitting grapefruits on the tree with a wooden stick. He quickly picked it up and knocked down two grapefruits in two or three strokes.

After the grapefruit is cut open, the fruit is very small, tastes bitter and numb, and is not delicious at all.

"This is bitter pomelo, it doesn't taste good!"

"It's bitter and numb, almost like medicine!"

"It's not delicious, but a few years ago there were people climbing over the wall to pick it. They could eat anything if they were hungry!"

"Zuzu, I'm hungry, let's go have lunch."

Jin Huan's aggrieved and pitiful expression immediately made Mr. Xu surrender, and he quickly took the money and tickets and took Jin Huan out to eat.

Grandpa Xu took Jinhuan through a few winding alleys and came to a private courtyard. He knocked on the door and a fat old man with a bulging belly came out. The old man looked very happy when he saw Grandpa Xu.

At this time, there were very few people in the country who had enough to eat, and fat people were a rare species. I guess only cooks and edema patients were eligible to be fat.

"Hey, Mr. Xu, here you are, when will you come back?" The fat old man looked like a Beijing movie with a Trump accent, which sounded very interesting.

"Lang Cheng, I haven't seen you for a long time and you are still so poor. Today I brought my great-granddaughter to see your craftsmanship. I will serve you anything good!" Grandpa Xu smiled happily when he saw his acquaintance: "Don't take those messy things.

Fool me!"

"That's impossible, how dare I?" Lang Cheng spoke in an accent that sounded like an old Beijinger: "I can't lose my status in front of this young distinguished guest, right?"

After Jinhuan came to this world, it had been a long time since I heard a foreign accent, and it felt playful and fresh.

"Hello, Grandpa Lang, I am Xu Jinhuan. I heard from my ancestors that you have a lot of delicious food here!" Jinhuan said playfully, imitating Lang Cheng's tone.

Lang Cheng led them to their seats, poured tea and snacks, and his fat belly trembled with his movements, which looked very interesting: "Well, mutton is here today, I will give you the mutton first."

The dumplings with fillings are so delicious that they will make you eyebrow-raising!”

Lang Cheng said and went into the kitchen to do some work, leaving Grandpa Xu behind to do some popular science.

It turns out that this Lang Cheng is an old banner man from Kuanzhai Hutong. His ancestors settled here during the Kangxi period. He spent many generations walking birds and fighting insects in Kuanzhai Hutong to receive royal food.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, most bannermen returned to Beijing or immigrated overseas, but his family stayed.

After opening a restaurant, he quietly opened a private restaurant at home after a public-private partnership. Not many people knew about it, but the business was good. He was not short of money, so he just wanted to live happily.

Jinhuan picked up a piece of pea yellow and it melted in the mouth. It tasted very good, but it was a bit too sweet for Jinhuan.

Donkey rolling is more suitable for her taste, mainly because she likes the taste of bean paste filling and soybean noodles.

After finishing two pieces of dim sum, Lang Cheng came out with a dumpling in his hand and shouted, "Here comes the dumplings."

The filling of the dumplings is mutton and cabbage. The reddish color of the mutton shines through the translucent dough, and the smell is very fragrant.

When I took a bite of the dumpling, the mutton gravy was mixed with the refreshing cabbage. The taste was not spicy at all and full of umami.

Jinhuan ate more than twenty dumplings in one go. He couldn't eat any more and stopped. He just went to the provincial capital for this dumpling meal. This trip to the provincial capital was not in vain. At this moment, this dumpling meal is better than ordinary.

People’s New Year celebrations are getting better.

"Grandpa Lang, the dumplings you make are so delicious, this is it!" Jinhuan took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, giving Lang Cheng a thumbs up.

Lang Cheng's fat face turned into a meaty smile, "Girl, as long as you like it! Ask Mr. Xu to bring you here if you are free in the evening, I have prepared some good things!"
