Wang Kangri discovered that there were many open-air stalls across the wide road in front of the square, and many people gathered there to sit at the tables and eat with their heads down.
"Let's go take a look!"
A few people walked to the roadside. The road was very wide. It was more than 40 meters from one side to the other. People came and went on the road. Cars passed by from time to time. In just a moment, there were more cars passing by than a few people.
There are more cars than I have seen in the past few decades.
"It really deserves to be the capital city. There are so many cars...but how do you get there?"
There is a green fence in the middle of the road, and there is no intersection nearby. So many cars can't get through!
"There seems to be a bridge over there, and pedestrians are walking across it."
Liu Lang pointed to the right and said.
"Huh? There really is an iron bridge. Oh, I remembered it. This bridge seemed to have appeared on TV once!"
Liu Donglai suddenly remembered a scene on TV.
"Yes, these seem to be called overpasses. There are many in the capital!"
Xu Wenxiu also remembered the news that had been reported on the news.
"Let's go across the street."
Several people got on the overpass. When they reached the center, they stood on the edge and looked down. There were cars and people below, and everything seemed novel to them.
When we arrived at the other side, it was indeed a place to eat. I saw three people frying fried dough sticks, as well as tofu curd, soy milk, etc. After buying, people directly found a place to sit down at the table standing next to them and started eating.
Open-air stalls have not yet appeared in Fucheng, but they have long been common in the capital.
The three of us decided to eat here after discussing it.
"Comrade, here are ten fried dough sticks, four bowls of soy milk... what is this?"
Wang Kangri saw a large basin next to him, with something that looked like water in it.
"This! Bean juice is the most delicious thing in our capital. It seems you are from out of town. One bowl per person, I guarantee you will enjoy it!"
The other party's mouth smelled of Beijing movies, and the words rolled out as soon as the tongue was rinsed.
"Douzhier? Do you drink douzhier?"
Wang Kangri turned his head and asked.
"Then, let's have four bowls!"
Since it is the most delicious thing in the capital, I naturally have to try it.
"I don't drink soybean juice, I just want a tofu noodle!"
Liu Lang quickly shook his head.
"Okay, then three bowls of bean juice, one bowl of bean curd, plus ten fried dough sticks, how much is the total, comrade?"
Wang Kangri is responsible for the "financial power" and all travel expenses are paid by him.
"Ten fried dough sticks cost one and a half yuan, three bowls of bean juice cost three cents, and a bowl of tofu puffs cost one cent. The total is one yuan and forty cents."
"Where's one dollar and four?"
Liu Donglai was a little stunned. A breakfast for him in Shencheng cost only one yuan and thirty cents for six big men. Today, only four people spent one yuan and fourty cents. Prices in this capital are not ordinary!
"Okay, the total is one yuan and forty cents...you don't want food stamps?"
Wang Kangri saw that the other party did not ask for food stamps and reminded him.
"I don't want food stamps, I just want money!"
The other party took the money and said with a smile.
"What a novelty!"
A few people felt a little incredible. It seemed that the capital was really different. There were places to eat in the open air and they didn't require food stamps. They had never seen it before. They had never seen it before.
The four of them found an empty seat and sat down, and soon the food was served.
After a night on the train, several people were already hungry, so they couldn't help but pick up the fried dough sticks and stuff them into their mouths.
"Well, it tastes very good, much better than the one in Shen Cheng."
Liu Donglai nodded secretly.
"Taste what the bean juice tastes like!"
Liu Donglai picked up the bowl and took a sip.
"Pfft!"
When the bean juice entered my mouth, I felt a strong pungent taste, sour and astringent, and a sour smell went straight to my nose. I couldn't help but spit it out!
"Bah, bah, bah...!"
Liu Donglai vomited several times and wanted to get angry, but he immediately realized that this was the capital, and the mighty dragon could not overpower the local snakes. He had to endure it.
"Donglai, what's wrong?"
Xu Wenxiu and Wang Kangri ate slowly. They hadn't drank the bean juice yet, so they didn't know how it tasted.
"Don't drink this stuff..."
"I said to you, comrade, why is the soybean juice you bought bad? It tastes sour!"
Liu Donglai stood up and wanted to argue with the other party.
"Hey, you're not used to drinking. Brother, I'll tell you that you've never drank before. Forget about you. Those princes from the Qing Dynasty, Baylor, drank the same taste. You'll get used to it after a few more sips!"
The other party was not surprised and didn't take it seriously at all.
"It's obviously sour, would the prince drink this?"
Liu Donglai was even more angry when he heard this.
“Brother, look at them, they all drink the same thing, they don’t think it’s sour!”
The other party looked at Liu Donglai with a contemptuous smile on his face.
"you……!"
Liu Dong looked at the people eating around him. Sure enough, many people were drinking bean juice. A few elderly people were "ingenious" in holding the bowl in front of them, putting their mouths into the bowl and sucking the bean juice.
Son, the hand kept turning the bowl, and every time it turned, there was a circle of bean juice missing. After a few turns, the bean juice was completely gone, not even a trace was left. The white porcelain bowl was clean, as if it had just been washed.
Completely average.
"Brother, have you seen it? Others don't think it tastes bad. If you don't want to drink it, then ask for another bowl of soy milk. This soy milk is what ordinary people drink."
Liu Donglai now understands that this is the taste of Ganqing Doujiu.
"Forget it, forget it!"
Liu Donglai waved his hand and sat down again to eat the fried dough sticks. Anyway, he didn't drink the bean juice anymore.
Xu Wenxiu and Wang Kangri quietly licked the bean juice and almost vomited. Northerners couldn't stand the taste.
Liu Lang, who was drinking soy milk on the side, couldn't hold back his laughter. In his previous life, he also looked like this when he drank soy milk for the first time in the capital. This thing is very strange. If you are used to it, you can't stand it for a day without drinking it. If you are not used to it, it tastes like swill.
, anyway, he was never used to it.
A few people ate in silence without saying anything. A few people on the side seemed to be local regulars. Liu Donglai showed a hint of contempt when he was arguing with the seller just now. Now after eating, he started chatting intentionally or unintentionally.
"Second brother, our old BJ is good at everything. This bean juice is second to none. I heard that Emperor Qianlong had to use his thumb to say good words after drinking it."
"That is, where are we? At the feet of the Emperor, a place where dragons and tigers are hidden. There are countless princes, kings and grandsons in the Forty-Nine City. How can their food and drink be bad? Even a sip of bean juice can stick to the royal aura. What a pity.
! Not everyone can be attracted to this royal aura, it has to be our old BJ."
The two sang and sang together, obviously teasing Liu Donglai and others.
Liu Donglai's face turned a little red, but he didn't dare to get angry. It was better to do less than to do more when he was out.
Liu Lang's face darkened.
"Dad, I heard that the emperor is not a bad person? They bully the people and bring chaos to the country. When Mao Zedong defeated these bad people and established New China, we became the masters of the country. How come there are still people praising the emperor? Is it possible?
Are they bad people too?"
"Son, you are right. If it were ten years ago, anyone who said such things would have been arrested immediately. This is class struggle, and we cannot relax at any time!"
Liu Donglai nodded in agreement.
If Liu Donglai said this, the other party would probably have a big quarrel soon, but Liu Lang is a child, and childish words are unbridled, and childish words are also the most direct to people's hearts, so as soon as Liu Lang finished speaking, the faces of the two people
All green.
It doesn't make sense for them to have an attack even if they want to.
"Huh, what a talker! Second brother, let's go!"
Unable to refute, the two people immediately stood up and left in despair.
"Xiao Liu Lang, you have such a powerful mouth!"
Wang Kangri raised his thumb.
After several people finished eating, they asked a passerby for the address of the State Education Commission, and then got on the bus.
