The eldest of the Yan family in the Siheyuan

Chapter 46 Date with Yu Li

"That's amazing too. Which book did you read about? I'll read it too."

"Okay, I'll look for it for you when I have time, I forgot where I read it." Yan Xiecheng said vaguely.

The three of them chatted and wandered around, and from time to time Yan Xiecheng would tell a few jokes about future generations, making the two beauties laugh out loud.

The three came to a lake.

Yu Li looked at the beautiful scenery around her: "This place is so beautiful, it's really like a fairyland."

"Speaking of the fairyland, it is said that this Beihai Park was built according to the fairyland in the biography of the Queen Mother of the West."

Seeing the two beauties looking at him, Yan Xiecheng introduced with more effort:

"Look at this lake, it has a big background. It was dug according to the Taiye Pond in the Jianzhang Palace of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."

Yan Jiecheng pointed to a small island: "Look, that is Qionghua Island. There is an island in the lake, and the island is reflected in the lake. It is comparable to Penglai Wonderland."

"Have you seen the pavilions on the island? That is the masterpiece of our national garden construction."

"Okay, Yan Jiecheng didn't expect you to know a lot." Yu Li said with a smile after listening.

Yan Jiecheng said with a smile: "As long as you read more books and newspapers, you can know everything."

"Don't talk about it, let's go boating?" Yu Haitang said, looking at the boat on the shore.

"Okay, let's go." After speaking, he found the staff and paid a deposit of one yuan, and took the two sisters tremblingly onto the boat.

Yu Haitang rubbed her forehead with her hands: "I forgot, I don't know how to row a boat." After speaking, she smiled awkwardly.

Yan Xiecheng walked over and took the oar: "Let me do it."

"You know how to row a boat? Don't lie to us." Yu Li looked at Yan Jiecheng with puzzled eyes.

"Hi! Although I can't row a boat, I can swim. Don't worry, if you accidentally fall, I will rescue you." Yan Jiecheng said jokingly.

"You save my sister, what should I do?"

After saying "cold salad", Yan Xiecheng swung the oars and drove the boat away from the shore, and rowed towards the center of the lake.

The two were so frightened that they shouted loudly. After a while, they found that the boat was rowing quite smoothly, so they were interested in enjoying the scenery...

Yu Li came to the bow and followed Yan Jiecheng to learn rowing, while Yu Haitang stayed at the stern and hummed boringly, humming and singing loudly: "Let's swing the oars and let the boat push the waves away..."

Yu Li and Yan Xiecheng quickly stopped and covered their ears with their hands. Yu Haitang's voice is quite loud, as if a subwoofer is installed, as long as you can sing well, what the hell is this loud voice that is out of tune.

Yu Haitang saw the movements of the two of them: "Hey, you two are enough! Is my singing so ugly? You still cover your ears."

"Grandma, just delete the word "?" The two said at the same time.

Yu Haitang turned her head to one side angrily: "Someone wants to hear this girl sing, but I won't sing. You two still hate it, who are you?"

"We don't know who wants to hear you sing, but we are definitely good people." Yan Xiecheng replied.

Where is Yu Haitang puffing out his mouth angrily and not speaking...

At noon, Yan Jiecheng brought the two of them to Wangfujing, intending to eat mutton in Donglaishun.

Where the mutton is said to have no muddy soup from the beginning to the end.

Yan Jiecheng had only heard about Donglaishun, but had never been there.

I went inside and found an empty seat and sat down, picked up the menu on the table and looked at it...

At this time, the staff came over and said:
"This mutton is fat or thin. If you like to eat fat, get a plate of Da Sancha. The meat color is white and the other is red. If you like thin, get a plate of cucumber strips. The flesh color is red. If you like to eat half fat and half thin, Here is a plate of xiaosancha, red at both ends and white in the middle." The staff introduced according to different parts of the mutton.

"Then one catty of each item, three servings of tofu, vermicelli, and cabbage, and one serving of butter fried cake and walnut cake." After talking, he paid the money and ticket, and sat down.

It didn't take long for the walnut crisps and fried cakes to be served.

There are two plates of desserts, one is white, the other is yellow, and some white sugar is sprinkled on it. It looks crispy, delicious and very appetizing.

"Don't look at it, eat it quickly, if you don't want to eat it, I won't keep it for you later." Yan Xiecheng greeted.

When Yu Haitang heard that it was okay, she quickly picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of butter fried cake and put it in her mouth: "This is so delicious, crispy and fragrant."

Seeing Yu Haitang's mouth full of oil, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li also started to eat, a bite was sweet, crispy and fragrant, watching the two girls couldn't stop eating.Well done, this trip was not in vain.

After waiting for a while, hot pot and mutton were also brought over.

It is said that Donglaishun's mutton is a small-tailed sheep weighing 35 to 45 catties.The meat is tender, low in fat, and all sliced ​​by hand.There are strict requirements on size and thickness, which makes the taste of mutton completely different from other restaurants.

Watching the served meat slices being rolled into small tubes and neatly stacked on the plate.There are eight small bowls next to it, all of which are selected seasonings from Donglaishun.

They are chili sauce, braised shrimp oil, soy sauce, butter, sesame paste, fermented bean curd, crushed peanuts, and chive flowers.

Looking at the meat and seasonings on the table, "Stop looking, eat quickly, let's continue playing in the afternoon after eating." Yan Jiecheng watched the two staring blankly at the food without moving his chopsticks and said hastily.

Only then did the two move. It was the first time for the two of them to see so much mutton, so they hesitated for a while.

Yan Xiecheng skillfully put the mutton into the pot, once cooked, it tastes fragrant and tender, not greasy or greasy is really a pleasure.

After dinner, Yan Jiecheng brought the two of them to the Temple of Heaven.

The Temple of Heaven is the special altar for the ancient emperors to offer sacrifices to the heavens and pray for a good harvest. It is the largest and most perfect ancient heaven-worshiping building complex in the world.The total area is 273 million square meters.

The three of them entered through the south gate and arrived at Yuanqiu first.The surroundings of the round mounds are round, so they are called round mounds.Go up through the board steps, with Han railings on both sides.There is a board in the center of the round hill, surrounded by nine boards, and then a board in the outer circle, and so on in multiples... It represents nine nines return to one.

Come to the back wall.The wall of the back wall is empty, and the sealing is particularly good, so there is a back.Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li walked to one side, and Yu Haitang followed Yu Li.The two shouted at both ends, trying to verify whether they could really hear each other's voices from such a distance.Because I yelled too much, I couldn't hear the noise clearly, but I could hear it.

Finally, the three saw the majestic Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests.The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is the most outstanding building in Tiantan Park.There are no nails or bricks in the whole building, it is all built with heads.The three of them looked from outside the door, and saw four pillars in the middle for the first time, named Tongtianzhu.The pillars are carved with patterns of dragons and phoenixes, representing the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.The beams above are all made by Si Luan.The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests is so exquisitely built that it is impossible to find the first one in the world.
