Chapter 937: A century-old shop (a short and weak chapter -_-)
After Xia Zekai woke up, he went to wash up and took his phone to check the messages. Only then did he realize that Guo Ying sent him a message last night, asking him to check the store plan in his mailbox when he was free.
He was not in a hurry to go see it now, but went downstairs to exercise for a while. After breakfast, he dismissed the two little sisters who still wanted to go out, and went into the study alone to work for a long time.
When he came out of the study with a slightly greasy face, he realized that no one was home.
"Girl, Tongtong."
When no one responded, Xia Zekai shouted again: "Daughter-in-law."
Still no one responded. When he saw Wang Yi at the door, he asked: "Xiao Wang, where are they?"
"The boss lady took them for a walk in the community." Wang Yi pointed outside and said.
When Xia Zekai came out, he followed the direction Wang Yi pointed and saw his wife and mother-in-law standing by the water path outside. Yatou and Tongtong were squatting by the stream flowing by, staring into the water.
I don't know what to look at.
He walked over and Luo Xiyun saw him coming out and asked him: "Are you done?"
"We just finished our work, why did you come out?" Xia Zekai asked her.
Luo Xiyun pointed at the two sisters squatting on the ground and said, "It's not like you two precious girls are bored staying at home, so you have to let me take them out to play."
The mother-in-law said: "Zekai, if you have anything to do, go and do your work. I will just watch them."
"Mom, it's done, there's nothing else to do." Xia Zekai said in one sentence, and he had already sent the approved plan to Guo Ying and Yan Jinghua.
"Daughter-in-law, what do you think? If nothing happens, let's go out and find a place to play for a while, and then find a place to have something to eat when it's noon." Xia Zekai asked her.
Luo Xiyun nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go clean up and change clothes."
After saying that, she shouted: "Girl, Tongtong, let's change clothes and go out to play."
The two of them were happy as soon as they heard that they were playing, and hurriedly followed their mother to the villa.
Liu Chunhua also followed. After they finished cleaning up, the family went to Beihai Park.
Located in the center of Beijing, this is the earliest classical royal garden built in China’s existing history, the best preserved, and the most profound cultural deposit.
It is said that the formation and development of Beihai went through several dynasties including the Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, carrying nearly a thousand years of Chinese history and culture. It formed the gardening art style represented by the royal garden, which also embodies the garden culture and art of past dynasties.
What a masterpiece.
Although it was already the last two days of the National Day holiday, when they came here, there were still a lot of people coming in and out.
Considering that his wife's body could not bear long-term activities, Xia Zekai and the others walked around the North Bank Scenic Area.
I looked at the magnificent Nine Dragon Wall, which is said to be made entirely of glazed bricks and looks particularly dazzling under the refraction of the sun.
Kowloon is so vivid that it feels like it itself is alive at first sight.
When Xia Zekai saw this Nine Dragon Wall, he couldn't help but admire the skill of the ancients, which was very admirable.
I also went to see the Kuai Xuetang Calligraphy Museum, the Five Dragon Pavilion, and the West Heaven Brahma Realm.
Luo Xiyun couldn't walk anymore, so she said, "Zekai, my waist hurts a little. Let's find a place to rest for a while."
Without saying anything, Xia Zekai quickly found a place.
It looked like it was almost noon, and after his wife had had enough rest, Xia Zekai said, "Let's stop going around and find a place nearby to eat."
"Let's go!" After Luo Xiyun had enough rest, he used Xia Zekai as a support and walked back slowly.
Liu Chunhua kept staring at the two sisters, fearing that if they were running around and having some fun, they would be in big trouble.
After searching nearby, Xia Zekai saw two stone lions sitting at the door of a hotel. The entire concierge belonged to a hotel with ancient architectural style. The black plaque had the three characters "Tongheju" written in gold on it, and there were also words on the wall next to it. I specifically wrote the words "founded in 1822".
"Daughter-in-law, look here, it's a two-hundred-year-old shop. Let's go in and have a try?" Xia Zekai became interested.
"Let's go!" Luo Xiyun had no objection.
After entering, we found a place and the whole family sat down. Wang Yi and others also sat down at the table next to them.
"I heard that the San Bu Niao in this shop is very delicious. Shall we order one to try?" As soon as they sat down, they heard people at the table next to them discussing.
After Xia Zekai heard this, he looked at the dish on the menu. It was very beautifully painted. There was a yellow object the size of an egg pancake on a plate. He didn't know what it was yet, but the workmanship was very exquisite. He said, "Let's try it too." taste."
One sentence made Luo Xiyun amused: "Then order one and try it."
Yatou and Tongtong saw their father taking the menu and ordering, and they became excited: "Dad, show me."
Xia Zekai didn't care. He handed the menu to his two girls and asked them: "You two, let's see what you want to eat."
Who knew that after the sisters opened the menu, they saw yogurt in a small blue and white porcelain bowl. They pointed at it and said, "Dad, I want to drink this yogurt."
When I went to other places to eat before, there was similar yogurt. Xia Zekai nodded: "Want this?"
"Yes!" the two sisters said almost at the same time.
Xia Zekai ordered 5 people at their table, young and old, and 6 people at the table with Wang Yi and others.
I ordered 3 more portions of Sanbui, as well as Zaoluo Sanbai, dry croquettes, Zaoluo fish fillet, roasted sea cucumber with green onions, etc.
The same dishes were served on both sides. After ordering, I thought that Wang Yi and the others were big eaters, so I felt that these dishes were probably not enough, so I added a few more dishes to them, and then ordered a dozen more, which were specifically marked on the menu. The baked buns come out.
"Zekai, this place is really 190 years old!" Mother-in-law Liu Chunhua asked.
Xia Zekai thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't know, but since it dares to be written, I think it will take a long time."
"Oh, it's amazing that a restaurant has been open for so many years," the old man said.
Xia Zekai said with a smile: "It's indeed quite impressive. Have you noticed that most of the century-old stores that our country can inherit are selling food?"
Luo Xiyun rolled her eyes at him: "That's all you know."
Xia Zekai was too lazy to talk to her, and they were not in a hurry. They drank the homemade osmanthus yogurt that the waiter had just brought over. The two sisters liked it very much, and they finished it in a short time.
His eyes then glanced at Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun's small bowls.
Xia Zekai said: "Don't worry about it. I'll order another one for you, but you can't drink it so fast. We'll have some food later."
"Okay!" The two sisters agreed happily.
After waiting for other dishes to be served one after another, Xia Zekai saw that his wife was eating happily, and now he was happy: "You can eat more. Whichever one you want to eat, I will order it again."
"These are enough, they taste really good." Luo Xiyun said.
She ate a lot, and Yatou and Tongtong were also in high spirits, so they ate a lot.
After Xia Zekai saw it, he became even happier. He said, "If you want to eat, we can come back another day."
"I won't like it after eating it for two more times," Luo Xiyun said.
She was difficult to serve, so Xia Zekai ignored her words and filtered her out.
When the two sisters heard what their father said, they nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I like it!"
