If you don’t go to scenic spots or parks, where else can you take the sisters to play? Large shopping malls are an option. Although there are many large shopping malls in the United States, shopping malls like Beijing are so crowded that they can still be crowded all day long.
I'm afraid it's hard to see Bian. When you go out to play, you have to play in a place different from your own home. It's almost the same. Why spend money to go all the way and suffer.
In addition to large shopping malls, Hong Tao also chose a special project for the two sisters, which is to experience the life of an ordinary Beijinger for a day. This design has received strong support from Sister Eileen and Sam and his wife. Compared with traveling around the mountains and rivers,
In terms of natural scenery, Mr. and Mrs. Sam would rather let their two daughters take a look at the humanities and culture of Beijing and have more contact with ordinary Beijingers. The reason why they did not let their daughters join a travel agency was to ask Hong Tao to take them around, and
Not to save money.
The daily life activities of ordinary Beijingers designed by Hong Tao actually do not really take one day to complete, because ordinary people may not do anything during the day and sleep for half a day. He just put the most representative Beijing he saw
A person's activities for a day are roughly listed, and then divided into several days to try one by one.
For example, starting from getting up in the morning, the first thing is to go to the roadside breakfast stall to eat breakfast. This is basically something that more than 90% of Beijing families do. Northerners seem to be lazier than southerners, and they rarely
I make breakfast at home in the morning, which is different from many southern families. Therefore, in almost all streets and alleys in Beijing, there are various breakfast stalls or breakfast shops, selling food from south to north.
, various flavors are available.
Among them, fried dough sticks, soy milk, steamed buns, and tofu are the most common ones. In addition, fried liver, rice porridge, sugar-fired roast, sugar ears, fried cakes, noodle tea, offal soup, etc. are also not lacking, but you have to choose those types.
I went to eat at old restaurants with better craftsmanship, but the taste and taste are very different from ordinary places.
The place where Hong Tao lives is very close to the Drum Tower. It is considered an old city within the old city, so there is no shortage of old restaurants here that maintain their original taste. So early the next morning, Hong Tao took Irene with him.
The sisters started their normal life at the first stop of a full day of activities, early.
"Yaoji Fried Liver" is not far from Hong Tao's house, just a few minutes' walk away. It is next to the east side of the Bell and Drum Tower. It has a small front. It used to be a tavern. Hong Tao remembers that when he was a child, he would go there with a thermos.
We came here to drink some beer. The three of us came behind the fried liver restaurant. It was not yet 7 o'clock. The reason why we came so early was mainly because we were afraid of catching up with the peak hours of work and there would be too many people eating. However, Hong Tao still miscalculated.
, the store was still overcrowded.
Hong Tao and Irene waited in line for more than 10 minutes to buy 3 bowls of fried liver and 2 drawers of steamed dumplings. At this time, Katie, who was assigned to occupy a seat, had already completed the task well. She waited for a seat by herself, and then used
The backpack occupied the second seat, and finally her white thighs occupied the third seat next to her. As for the two middle school students opposite her who were eating steamed buns while glancing at her thighs, she didn't care at all and happily chatted with her.
People said hello and took out their cameras to take random pictures.
"This thing is a bit like jam. Is it really delicious?" When her fried liver was placed in front of her, Katie seemed a little hesitant. She looked at the small bowl full of black and red glutinous rice on the table.
I haven't dared to eat anything.
"Stop talking nonsense. Didn't we agree before we came out? You have to eat what I can eat. If you regret it, we will go home immediately." Hong Tao didn't care whether they liked it or not. When he made this plan,
He had carefully asked Sam's family if they had any special religious beliefs or taboos on any special foods, and then reached an agreement with the two sisters. As long as Hong Tao could eat, they must eat it. If they were not used to it, they could eat less.
Although she didn't understand the meaning of the fragments in Hong Tao's words, Katie still understood the word "promise". Seeing Hong Tao and Irene starting to eat with their spoons, she could only pick up the spoons and dig in a little.
I took a little bit and put it in my mouth to taste it.
"Well, it tastes pretty good, there's garlic in it!"
"This big dumpling tastes good too." Katie picked up another bun and took a bite, giving a positive answer.
Fried liver is something that many friends in the south don’t know what kind of food it is. This kind of food seems to have appeared in the Song Dynasty. At that time, it was called boiled liver and stir-fried lung. It was made by adding pig intestine and liver as the main ingredients and adding starch.
It tastes great when paired with garlic sauce. It is considered a snack in old Beijing.
Hong Tao knew that people in Europe and the United States rarely eat animal offal, so he specifically asked Sam for his opinion. As a result, Sam did not object to Hong Tao letting his daughter eat these things. He himself also liked stir-fried liver and stewed liver, and even he
He also likes to drink soybean juice, which makes Hong Tao very depressed, because as a native of Beijing, Hong Tao himself cannot drink the taste of soybean juice.
Hong Tao had no intention of telling the sisters Irene what the fried liver was made of, that is to say, he had to wait until they finished eating. In addition, in order to fear that the sisters would regret it, he made a special agreement with them, so that they could not give up easily.
Follow Hong Tao to eat various foods they don't understand.
Irene, the two American girls, really defended the spirit of the contract from the bottom of their hearts. When the three of them walked out of the fried liver shop and came to take pictures near the clock tower, Hong Tao told the sisters the ingredients of the fried liver. As a result, Katie was
After vomiting, Irene was a little better, but her face was also a little white and her eyes were greener.
Even though they knew they had been tricked, when Hong Tao brought up the verbal agreement they made in front of Sam and his wife, although the two sisters were filled with hatred, they did not express any regret or cheating, but only questioned Hong Tao's character.
.Although Hong Tao has never been very optimistic about his own character, he still decided to have a full lunch as revenge against Sister Irene.
The second item after breakfast is to squeeze into the bus. Since you want to experience the day of an ordinary Beijinger, you can’t miss the classic program Beijing Bus, and it has to be during the morning rush hour. People who have never lived in Beijing may not
You will understand how crowded the buses are during the morning rush hour, especially those on the Third Ring Road. They are basically the same as the trains during the Spring Festival travel period. The doors cannot be closed. The bus company specially sends people to watch at each stop and is responsible for opening the doors from outside the bus.
Close manually.
Hong Tao did not take the sisters to take the 300 bus on the Third Ring Road, but chose to take the No. 13 bus to Di'anmen, because their next destination was on the route of the No. 13 bus. When they came to Di'anmen Bus
At the station, there were already more than 10 passengers waiting for the bus. At this time, Sister Eileen asked Hong Tao a very embarrassing question: Where is the end of the queue?
Damn it, queuing up to get on the bus during peak hours is sheer luxury. Although in later generations, special personnel have been arranged in subways and many bus stations to organize people to queue up, it seems that there is still no such mechanism at this time. Hong Tao arrived
The Meng sisters did not make up any lies. They told them directly that when the car came, they must push toward the car door like the center in American football. Then they asked for their small hiking bag and asked for their small hiking bag.
Take it.
A few minutes later, the car arrived. Just as Hong Tao expected, the car was already overcrowded. From the outside, it was so dark that there was no space at all. Before the car stopped, people waiting for the car began to pour in from the front and rear doors.
Go, Hong Tao also pushed the two sisters towards the predicted stopping position of the front door. When squeezing in a car during rush hours, one of the most important skills is to predict the stopping position of the door. Only by mastering this skill can you stand out from the crowd.
Don't become the unlucky guy who can't get on the bus in the end.
"@%#￥...@%@" Seeing the tall car body passing by right next to their toes, the sisters were pushed in front of them by Hong Tao. They couldn't push back even if they wanted to, so they could only yell and scream.
They closed their eyes and waited for the intimate contact between their bodies and the car as if they were waiting to die. At this time, they no longer cared about using Chinese and blurted out their most proficient native language. Hong Tao estimated that at least 80% of them were curses and curses on himself.
