At this point, we can definitely say that the blessings of Hong Yanwu and "Tang Xin'er" are greater than almost anyone else's in summer.
Because if we can string together everything mentioned above, we can roughly draw two life trajectories of Hong Yanwu and "Tang Xin'er".
And no matter which one, it will be extremely enviable.
The first is when the weather is nice.
It’s just dawn and it’s a time when the streets are still deserted.
When Hong Yanwu got up and pushed open the door, he could see the dewy flowers in the courtyard smiling shyly at him in the dim light. There might even be a red dragonfly falling on the loofah stand.
In this case, the skin can feel moisture and even feel a little cool, which is enough to prove that the weather is pleasant and not too hot that day.
So he went to work happily. "Tang Xin'er" slept until he woke up naturally, had breakfast, and then went out.
Either go to Wangfujing "Department Store" to chat with "Cier Mei", or go to Beiheyan "Oriental TV Factory" to find old connections to get "internal tickets".
At noon, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan got off work and would probably have dinner with her.
If they eat in "Wangfujing", the most common places the three of them go to are "Cuihua Building" and "Senlong Restaurant".
Although "Cuihualou" is a Shandong cuisine restaurant, it also has light dishes such as "Osmanthus Scallops", "Stir-fried Shrimps", "Soiled Fish Fillets", and "Hibiscus Chicken Slices".
In addition, the seasonal sour plum cake is very good, and the "Eight Treasures Lotus Seed Porridge" is also available. It is indeed a first-class rice restaurant.
"Senlong Restaurant" is a Zhenjiang restaurant opened in 1924 by Zhang Senlong, a native of Jiangsu Province. It now also serves Sichuan cuisine and vegetarian dishes, but its real name is "Senlong Chinese and Western Restaurant".
Since there was a history of operating Bancai, not only the "Shao Hua Shui" and "Shao San Su" are good, but the "Luo Han Prawns" that combines Chinese and Western styles is even better.
The specific method is to divide a large prawn into two ends, bake the head half with tomato sauce, pat the tail half flat, spread with shrimp puree, dip it in small bread cubes and fry it thoroughly. Put it on a plate
Medium, beautiful shape, bright color, dry, crispy and fragrant, so it is also called "two-eating prawns".
For such a sumptuous meal at noon, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan would probably drink. If they have something to do in the afternoon, they would have a bottle of beer to cool down. If they have nothing to do, they would have something white, which is delicious and spicy.
After they have eaten and drank enough and wiped their mouths, they will either go back to "buying goods" or "shipping goods", and then just hang out in the hotel for a while. Or they will just break up and go back to have a rest.
If they leave, Hong Yanwu and "Tang Xin'er" will buy some books, newspapers, fruits, snacks along the way, or buy some popsicles and soda at the entrance of the alley.
When they got home, the two of them put down their things and washed their hair and face first, then fell asleep in a daze. After waking up, they had to "get tired" of the bed for a while and talk about themselves. Then they got up again.
It should be about three o'clock at this time. A wicker chair and a round table are propped up in the shade among the flowers in the courtyard. I have brewed a pot of tea, washed and cut the fruits, or eaten some popsicles. It's just a good time to relax.
Sit down to check accounts and chat.
Of course, you can’t just sit idle during the good time in the afternoon. Washing up, washing your hands, and doing housework are often also done at this time.
"Tang Xin'er" would not let Hong Yanwu get involved in this kind of thing. Even though she felt sorry for him, she also thought he was causing trouble.
So Hong Yanwu could just hold a cigarette in his mouth, hold a newspaper and magazine in his hand, shake his cattail leaf fan, and cross his legs to be his uncle.
This was naturally the time when he was in the best mood, but being too happy would also give rise to an unreal feeling. As a result, he would sit in the courtyard and feel the breeze, but his mind would often drift away from the books and newspapers in his hands.
In the end, he either looked at the busy figure of "Tang Xin'er" in the room, or looked at the branches of "Peace Flower" swaying back and forth in front of him...
In the evening, if you decide to go dancing, you don't have to have dinner at home. You can wait until Bian Jiangong's car horn sounds outside and they go out to eat together.
Pick up Chen Liquan first, then Su Jin, and deal with it around Xisi Fourth.
For example, the famous Jiangsu cuisine restaurant "Tongchunyuan Restaurant" and the Huaiyang restaurant "Yuhua Terrace" known as the "First Banquet of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" have become places they often visit. And they don't care which "beer garden" they go to. "Enjoy.
It doesn't matter if you catch up and are busy doing work, you can just wait a little longer, and at worst, just have a Western-style cold meal.
Although it's not very tasty, it's just sandwiches, pizza, cakes, sausages, fruits, mashed potatoes, cold sour fish, vegetable salads and the like, but it's okay to open a freshly made meat dish occasionally.
They don't play too late. Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan have to get up early after all. So they will leave around ten o'clock at night.
At this time, the workers' militia must have already taken to the streets to patrol closely. But thanks to the merits of Toutian's contribution, no one would stop the car to inquire.
In short, there are pick-ups and drop-offs, fragrant wine, singing and dancing under the neon lights. This kind of nourishment has definitely surpassed the development of the Republic for more than ten years. And these young people who came from the city are definitely at the forefront of the "academy" and take the lead in connecting with the international community. In line.
Who knows, can you not be envious? How happy! How beautiful!
As for the second life trajectory, that is when the weather is bad.
If it is cloudy and it rains heavily, apart from going to work, every household will stay at home and spend their time in their own way.
Hong Yanwu and "Tang Xin'er" didn't have any children to relieve their boredom. They just chatted, read books, ate melon seeds, watched TV, and listened to the radio. There was nothing much to talk about. However, the weather with the chirping of cicadas is worth describing again.
"Old Beijingers" are accustomed to calling cicadas "season birds".
This thing is weird. It likes the heat very much. The hotter the weather, the happier it screams.
So if you can hear the "sound of cicadas" as soon as you get up, even if the sky is cloudy, the day is over. Needless to say, you will definitely be tortured when you go out and you will definitely not be able to cool down.
In weather like this, although Hong Yanwu and "Tang Xin'er" continued to do what they did in the morning, they would never do anything again after noon.
At the same time, the two of them and Chen Liquan did not go to Dafanzhuangzi for lunch. Instead, they chose two more comfortable options, going to the park to eat.
Speaking of which, they are able to have this good fortune, in fact, they benefit from the legacy of the Republic of China.
I think back then, after Beihai Park and Central Park (i.e. Zhongshan Park) were opened to the public one after another, these two parks had their own teahouses.
And because each has its own unique characteristics, business has been booming since its inception, even after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The tea house of "Beihai Park" is located on Qionghua Island and the north shore of Beihai.
To the north of Qionghua Island, there is "Yilantang" in the east and "Daoningzhai" in the west. These two courtyards are connected and were originally the two trump cards of the Beihai Tea House.
In addition, because the teahouse here was run by several royal chefs in the palace, it is known as the "Fake Shan Teahouse".
In addition to selling tea, they also sell pastries, snacks and flavored dishes from the Qing Dynasty. They maintain a certain "imperial cuisine" feature and are very popular among diners.
In 1956, it was upgraded to "Fangshan Restaurant" after a public-private partnership. In 1978, "Beihai Park" was reopened, and the place resumed its external business and became a designated restaurant that can receive foreign tourists.
