Chapter 75 Copper pot shabu-shabu (today's third update)
Capital, Sidaokou.

After beating up the thief in the morning, the group of them ate some eggs, cooked them, and had a makeshift breakfast.

So at this moment, Zhao Wenmu plans to take everyone to the guest house to drop off their luggage.

The admission notice of the Central Institute of Finance and Finance stated that if students and their family members came to the capital in advance, they can take the admission notice to live temporarily in the Haidian Guest House located in Dazhong Temple.

Now that the spring breeze of reform and opening up has begun, many people from all over the country come to Beijing.

However, the accommodation industry has not yet been liberalized, and rooms in guest houses are in short supply.

Fortunately, the school had informed the hostel in advance, and some rooms would be reserved there, and students and their families would be given priority.

After all, the school has one team and two brands, and the teaching of financial and financial cadres and undergraduates is carried out simultaneously. These so-called undergraduates are likely to be the future national financial and financial cadres.

Still worth taking seriously.

The huge articulated buses quickly become overcrowded.

Fortunately, Zhao Wenmu and the others got on the train at the departure station. Zhao Wenmu asked Zhao Jing to sit inside with her little daughter in her arms, and he himself sat outside with his luggage in his arms.

Many people saw that they had a lot of luggage, and their eyes were quite dissatisfied.

However, looking at the cold faces of Zhao Wenmu and Zheng Guangming, he dared not speak out.

At this moment, the roads in the capital are still very empty.

There are very few cars of all kinds, and the most common ones are buses.

The real overlord of the road is the bicycle. In some places, the dense crowd of cyclists even makes the intersections congested.

You must know that it is already past nine o'clock, and the morning rush hour has passed.

"There are so many people in Beijing!"

The little girl reached out to catch the villain riding a bicycle outside the window.

Looking out of the window, Zhao Jing couldn't help sighing softly, her face was flushed, and she was still in agitation and excitement.

Zhao Wenmu smiled, this is where it is, compared to later generations...

Thinking of this, Zhao Wenmu stopped. The capital city of later generations is indeed crowded, but there really isn't such a spectacle as the army of bicycles all over the streets!

It's no less powerful than a car torrent!

Thinking of this, Zhao Wenmu couldn't help but stare out the window.

Every era has its own scenery.

"Little brother, the business of selling crayfish in the capital must be better, right?"

Looking at the flow of people outside the window, Zhao Jing said excitedly.

"The capital has a large population and more rich people. The taste is not much different from Qilu's, and the climate is also similar. It is said that the personality is a bit like our Qilu people, not so stingy."

Zhao Jing didn't wait for Zhao Wenmu's answer, and talked to herself directly.

"I just don't know if there are crayfish and crabs near the capital. If not, transportation is a big problem."

In this day and age, trucks are owned by the public, and generally owned by various state-owned enterprises.

It is basically impossible for private individuals to transport things across provinces, not to mention impossible.

After all, why do state-owned factories ship things to you? Rich people don’t necessarily do things for you.

"Also, the capital does not know whether to allow the sale of crayfish."

As Zhao Jing spoke, her face gradually dimmed.

It seems that the dream of selling crayfish in Beijing is gradually being shattered.

"Daughter-in-law, selling crayfish in Beijing will definitely make money!"

Zhao Wenmu interrupted her decisively.

"Also, it will definitely be sold!"

"Sooner or later, we will sell crayfish to the capital!"

Zhao Wenmu spoke firmly and confidently.

There is nothing to be confident about this little thing.

"Ok!"

Zhao Jing never doubted what he said.

"ba ba"

The little girl also agreed.

Zhao Wenmu's hearty laughter echoed in the carriage, not paying any attention to the eyes of the people around him.

When they arrived at the guest house, several people checked in smoothly.

Zhao Wenmu and Zhao Jing didn't have a marriage certificate, so it was impossible to live together.

At this moment, without a marriage certificate and a letter of introduction, it is absolutely impossible for a man and a woman to live together.

The guest house is ordinary, similar to the Pingyang County guest house.

At the moment, Sidaokou is not well developed, and you can even see some farmland if you walk not too far away.

You must know that this place is within the North Third Ring Road!
The Third Ring Road was also completely completed in 81.

Although it took more than a day of tossing, several people still felt very excited, so they only rested in the guest house for an hour, and then went out directly.

"Let's go, I'll take you to eat the old capital's copper pot shabu-shabu!"

Zhao Wenmu held the little girl on top of his head and greeted everyone loudly.

In his previous life, he didn't know much about the capital city. His company was headquartered in Jiao'ao, and he later spent years in Qinghai, Tibet, and New Zealand.

The older he gets, the more difficult it is for him to have peace of mind. He bought several yards in some remote places and often stayed there for several months.

So his understanding of the capital is mostly because he will meet some partners in the capital.

What the other party brought him to eat was naturally the most authentic Beijing delicacy.

He prefers the braised meat in a copper pot. As for the Beijing roast duck, I can only say it's okay.

Of course, it is also necessary to take everyone to eat together.

This time they didn't take the bus, but directly found a few Sanbangzi, and asked them to take them to the most authentic copper pot shabu-shabu in the old capital.

Three jumpers introduced the same restaurant.

It seems that this one is really delicious.

So several people took three jumpers and rushed over in a mighty way.

It can be seen that the business of this store is indeed booming. Before noon, there are already many people waiting outside.

Zhao Wenmu simply asked for a private room.

The copper pot shabu-shabu is still very distinctive.

The copper pot with a simple shape has a heavy sense of history.

The air outlet on the top of the copper pot was opened, and the charcoal was burned to the peak, and soon the soup in the pot was bubbling and bubbling.

The soup is very clear and translucent, with only a few red dates, wolfberries, and scallions in it.

The meat is freshly cut and looks really tender.

The dipping sauce is very rich, including sesame sauce, leek sauce, garlic, chopped green onion, coriander, chili oil...

You can combine them at will.

Northerners are generally used to sesame sauce or leek sauce.

And sugar garlic.

This is a good thing for appetizing.

Put the fat mutton in the pot for a few seconds and it can be picked up. Wrapped with dipping sauce, the taste is really delicious.

Naturally, Qilu people cannot do without chopped green onion.

Zhao Wenmu made Zhao Jing a combination of chopped green onion, coriander, and sesame sauce, and added a lot of chili oil to her.

Since the family started selling spicy crayfish, this girl has become more and more fond of spicy food.

The others adjust the dipping sauce according to their own preferences.

At the beginning, they were a bit cautious, but with Zhao Wenmu making samples, everyone quickly let go and started eating freely.

Zhao Wenmu ordered two more bottles of beer and three sodas.

"ba ba"

"Ya Ya Yo Ha" (Maybe I want to drink too?)

The little girl watched the crowd feasting on them, babbling anxiously.

"Third brother, can I eat shabu-shabu every day in the future?"

When Zhao Wenqiu thought of such a day, he felt extremely looking forward to it.

"Little sister, this meal costs 14 yuan in total. You can eat it every day. Can you afford it?"

Zhao Wenmu replied without thinking.

The price is actually quite affordable.

The five of them ate several plates of meat, some vegetables, and so many beer drinks. Even if they ate crayfish in the convenience market, if they wanted to eat so happily, they would probably cost more than this price!

This year, the income gap between Beijing and Pingyang County is not very big, and the price difference is actually not that big.

The only difference is that there are more cadres in the capital.

In this era of planned economy, many things can only be used by cadres, so there are many things in the capital that cannot be seen in Pingyang County.

If we only talk about the income and expenditure of ordinary people, the gap is not that big.

"Wow, so expensive!"

Several women habitually felt pain in their flesh.

But they are all people who have worked in crayfish stalls for a long time. After a little thought, they found that hot-boiled meat is actually not more expensive than crayfish.

Immediately my heart was balanced again.

Continue to munch on meat.

Zhao Wenmu is very satisfied with their performance, isn't it just for spending money?
After lunch, a few people did not go to Tiananmen Square and other places that they had longed for for a long time. After all, Zhao Wenqiu will report to the school tomorrow.

That's the top priority.

Thinking of this incident, several people were very excited.

So, they just poked around a bit.

On a summer afternoon, a few people walked eastward from Sidaokou, walked along the tree-lined road, passed the Baita Temple, and walked to Beihai and Nanluoguxiang.

Standing by the water, the cool breeze blows, which makes people feel refreshed.

Among the lotus bushes on the willow bank, there are sheds built with reed mats that are higher than the embankment. They used to be tea sheds.

The wooden brackets below are inserted in the river mud, the top is covered with wooden boards, and the top is covered with reed mats, which is quite charming.

The edge of the high platform stretches out to the water, and you can have a panoramic view of the lotus pond.Although the reed shed is poorly equipped, the interior layout is still comfortable. The rattan chairs are used, and it is very cool to sit on it in summer.

Zhao Wenmu and others found a tea shed and sat here listening to the wind and admiring the lotus.

Someone was carrying a burden to sell lotus seed porridge, and everyone ordered a bowl of lotus seed porridge dotted with various candied fruit. It was refreshing, sweet and glutinous, and very refreshing.

Shichahai waters are connected to Zhongnanhai.

Sitting here, you can overlook the Zhongnanhai Sea, and the heart of the Republic is right in front of you. Several people are also very proud.

From here, not far away is Nanluoguxiang.

Zhao Wenmu called a few "rickshaw pullers", that is, rickshaw pullers, and wanted them to take everyone for a stroll in the alley.

Zhao Jing and the others were a little embarrassed at first.

After all, this kind of rickshaw is not like a bus or a taxi. Sitting on it still feels strange, as if you are a capitalist who oppresses the people.

It is normal for people of this age to have such thoughts.

"Several guests, we earn money to support our family through labor, and we are also inheriting the traditional culture of the capital. This is a glorious job. You ride our rickshaw, that is the support for our work, and it is also glorious!"

A coachman hurriedly said upon seeing this.

I have to say, these words are very insightful.

It was obviously a specially thought-out rhetoric, after all, they must have seen this kind of embarrassing guests a lot.

After listening to it, several people felt a lot more comfortable.

So everyone stopped thinking about it and sat down one after another.

Zhao Jing sat in one with her little daughter in her arms, and Zhao Wenmu sat in the other one and followed closely behind.

The coachman kindly said that the family of three could ride in the same car without being tiring.

Zhao Jing still shook her head and refused.

Rickshaws walk leisurely in the alleys of the capital. Whenever pedestrians pass by, the driver will pull the horn on the handlebar as a reminder.

There is also a foot bell on the car, and when the person in the car steps on it with his foot, it will make a "ding ding ding ding" sound.

Don't have a style.

In the evening, a group of people went to eat the famous Quanjude Roast Duck.

Then wait for the next day to come.
