Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 820 Finally home

The next day, after Han Li stretched his muscles in the room, he washed himself.

Picking up a book and reading it, he waited for the Hou family to come over, planning to leave after saying hello.

But Han Li didn't expect that Hou Xiujuan and her eldest brother came and took him to have breakfast and refused to let him go. They also said that the last time Han Li came, their family was distracted by the child and they didn't do their best at all. The friendship between landlords is already very unfair to people.

This time, I decided to take Han Li around Chuncheng and taste the specialties of Chincheng. If Han Li left like this, others would say that his family was not good at being a good person.

They also said that they had informed the hotel early in the morning and asked people to reserve all the food, which was definitely something that could not be eaten elsewhere. And so on.

In the end, Han Li was led by Brother Hou to visit Spring City for a day. Not only did he have a car for the entire trip to Spring City, but he also had a guide who explained to him the history, background, and current use of some buildings. This was comparable to the last time Han Li visited Spring City. It’s much better to just watch it all over while traveling alone.

Moreover, this eldest brother Hou is also a reporter for Spring City Newspaper. There were many places that Han Li couldn't go to last time. This time, under his leadership, he took a good look at them.

For example: Originally "Shuntian Street" was the seat of the four ministries, one hospital and one government office of the Puppet Manchu Empire.

Even though these buildings have been used by various units for many years, they can still show the original ambitions of the Little Red Dot and the Puppet Manchu Empire.

But when Han Li stepped into the so-called Palace of Qinzheng, he mentally searched and caught two round beads. Han Li was already very familiar with this kind of thing, and each one represented a language.

Han Li put the two jade beads into the decomposition space while thinking about it. After returning to the car, he chose to accept the language contained in the two round beads.

Among them, the eight Manchu bowls belong to the Xia Bazhen, but they are divided into two types: thick and fine.

Han Li visited the "Changying", known as the cradle of the country's film industry, where he saw the stills of the actors and actresses from the filming of "The White-Haired Girl", "Iron Warrior", "Dong Cunrui" and "Little Sisters of the Hero of the Prairie".

These dishes are all served in large bowls, which look bold and delicious.

Among these countries was Burma. At that time, like the Puppet Manchu Empire, they all belonged to the puppet state of the little red dot.

But Han Li thought carefully and understood that when the Manchu Empire was established, some puppet states and occupying countries seemed to have recognized his existence.

Braised fish fillets, braised shrimps, sweet-scented osmanthus fish bones, sea cucumber meatballs, whole stewed egg custard crab roe, loose meat, chicken mushroom powder, bowl of seared frog.

This time, when Han Li was waiting for his elder brother to take him to a place he had not gone to last time, he subconsciously used up his mental strength, hoping to gain something, but he found nothing along the way.

These two beads were "Burmese" and "Manchu". Han Li was stunned for a moment when he saw these two language beads.

The languages ​​Han Li currently speaks are: English, Little Red Dot, Mongolian, Russian, and Burmese, these five national languages.

During lunch, Hou Xiujuan and her family took Han Li to eat eight bowls of Manchu food.

However, due to the hasty preparation time, they ate eight large bowls of both thick and thin dishes today.

According to those who have discovered this kind of thing before, under normal circumstances, only when a person dies will there be an extremely small chance of staying.

It is said that this Manchu Eight Bowl is a dish in the Manchu-Han Banquet. The Man-Han Banquet includes the upper eight delicacies, the middle eight delicacies and the lower eight delicacies.

Not long after, a faint smile appeared at the corner of Han Li's mouth. Although these two languages ​​​​were useless, he was still happy with the language proficiency he picked up for free.

After all, it was the former imperial palace of the Puppet Manchu Empire. It was normal for those who came here to go to court to be killed. It was not unusual for someone to be proficient in Manchu, but what about the Burmese language? Did Puyi dare to kill diplomats from other countries at that time? Isn't this too courageous?

So the Burmese who died here and left behind jade beads who were proficient in language must have been deliberately killed here by Little Red Dot to show to the puppet Manchu Empire. Is this purpose? It's nothing more than killing chickens to scare monkeys, to warn and deter these henchmen.

Not to mention asking them to recognize each other's existence, even if they let each other know each other, it would be no problem, but it is still impossible to kill each other's diplomats.

After eating and drinking, they came to the Imperial Palace Museum of the Puppet Manchuria. Not only did they not have to spend money to buy tickets when they entered this time, but they also had many more places to visit.

Manchu, a domestic language, can only be counted as half because its current audience is too small. Especially if you leave the Northeast, it is basically useless.

At present, not many people in Chuncheng and Sijiucheng in the North, the two largest Manchu bases at the time, can speak Manchu.

Finally, eldest brother Hou took Han Li to the Zoological and Botanical Garden here to see the largest Clivia flower breeding base.

There is nothing interesting to see here in the mess, but there are still some tenacious Clivia scattered around, and Han Li also secretly collected some and put them into his vast peach orchard.

In the evening, all the Hou family members came together, and they accompanied Han Li to eat the most famous pork bone in Spring City in the North.

This dish uses pork stick bones with large pieces of meat. They are first marinated with soy sauce, sugar, pepper, cinnamon and other seasonings, then cooked over high heat, and then simmered over low heat until the bones are crispy and the meat is fragrant. , until the sauce is rich.

Brother Hou Xiujuan greets people in the morning and can't eat it until evening. It takes a long time to stew and simmer. When you bite it, it feels really good.

It is said that this dish originated during the "Little Red Dot" occupation of this place. In the early days, the little dwarfs only ate meat, but in the later period, when various meats were in short supply, they focused on bones.

The atmosphere at the wine table was quite good. After the five-course meal and three rounds of wine, Han Li once again thanked the Hou family for their hospitality and expressed his intention to leave tomorrow. This time, Hou Xiujuan and the rest of the Hou family did not try to persuade him to stay. They decided that after breakfast tomorrow, Brother Hou and Hou Xiujuan would take Han Li to the train station together.

The next day, when Han Li got on the train again, in addition to the four large travel bags and a bulging snakeskin bag given by Aunt Liu and the others, he had three more large travel bags.

In addition to the Lao Maosheng candies, elm dried tofu, and red stone millet that were available last time, there are also many "Ding Feng Zhen" pastries and "Really Different" pickles.

It is said that Dingfengzhen was founded in 1911, and the public-private joint venture "Dingfengzhen" food store was established in 57.

With the help of the state, semi-mechanized production has been achieved. Although the annual output has reached more than 1,100 tons, it is still difficult to meet the market demand. For this big bag of pastries, most people have to wait in line even if they have a ticket. It takes a few days to buy it.

As for the "really different" pickles, there are various meats such as pork belly, soy sauce meat, bacon, barbecued pork, amomum elbow, smoked tripe, braised chicken, roast chicken, smoked croaker with green onions, smoked beef jerky, etc. The fat meat is not It is greasy, lean and meaty, shiny in color and delicious in taste, and is deeply loved by everyone.

The main craft of "Really Different" pickles is the sauce. Its special sauce allows these meats to be stored at room temperature below 30 degrees Celsius for a long time without deterioration.

This has also made "Really Different" pickles and "Dingfengzhen" pastries a must-have for locals when visiting relatives and friends. Even those who come here on business will buy some for their families to taste if they know about it.

Dingsi year, Guichou month, Jiawu day, the first day of February in the solar calendar, the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month.

After Han Li left Spring City in the North Country, he listened to the clanging and clanging sounds of trains for more than a day. At 2:30 this afternoon, he finally set foot on the land of Forty-Nine City again.

After the train slowly arrived at the station and stopped, everyone else was anxious to get off. Han Li waited until everyone in the sleeper car walked out, then took out a wooden stick and a ball of rope from the decomposition space.

He tied all seven large travel bags and a bulging snakeskin bag to both ends of the wooden stick used as a pole. When he picked it up, it felt a little heavy at the front. He took out a bag filled with mountain goods from the decomposition space. I tied the bag on and found the balance before getting off the car.

Maybe it was because he didn't have to leave again after coming back this time, so the feeling here was particularly different for Han Li now. Even the annoying dust and soot that he usually found when walking on the streets became much less pleasing to his eyes.

No one knew when Han Li came back. It took at most twenty minutes to take a shortcut from Xizhimen Station to Mianmian Hutong, so he carried these things with a wooden stick and walked home step by step without impressing anyone.

“Hi uncle”

"Han Li, you are back. I heard that you were admitted to Yanda University this time?"

"A fluke, a fluke."

"You kid, just lie to me. Your eldest sister, second sister, youngest sister, and the two adopted daughters-in-law your mother took in all passed the exam this time. Are you telling me it was a fluke?"

"Haha. This may be related to the atmosphere in my family where we usually like to read and study."

"Hello, uncle"

"The boys from the Han family are back. Your family has been doing very well recently. All the children in the family have passed the exam this time. Okay, okay, it really makes the men in our alley look good."

"Good luck, good luck"

"Grandma Wang, are you still picking up the soles?"

"Are you? The son of a wealthy family? Didn't you go to the countryside to join the queue? Now you have to pick out so many things, are you coming back?"

"I'm back and I won't leave again."

"It's better not to leave, it's better not to leave. You are the only child in your family. I really don't know what your parents thought at the beginning, but they let you, a baby boy, go to the countryside to farm."

"Hi Auntie"

"Han Li is back. I heard that you didn't become the vice-president of Yandalian after passing the exam?"

"Don't I want to come back and spend more time with my parents and get closer to our neighbors?"

"You? I heard that it will take several years to go to school this time. Your family has to support three girls to go to school. How much money has your family spent in these years?"

"We are also responding to the call of the country. As the old saying goes, plant a plane tree and attract a phoenix. A higher education level is not a bad thing."

As Han Li said hello and walked home, the aunties behind him began to murmur.

"Does the old Han family have good feng shui? Not only all their children have passed the exam, but even their goddaughter has passed the exam."

"It's really hard to tell."

"Tch, what's the benefit of going to college? You won't be a stinky old man in the future."

"Jin family, are you crazy? You don't dare to say such nonsense."

At this time, He Mi, Qi Zhaodi and Hou Yuhua were busy at Han Li's house.
