Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"Mr. Chen, Sister Xiaoli."

"Xiao Kun, you're here."

"How's it going? Have you packed everything?"

"It's packed."

"Where are Uncle Cai and Aunt Cai?"

"They went to the old house and said they wanted to find someone to repair it so that it would remain a memory."

Chen Zhihua said: "Lili and I have advised them many times to sell the old house here and move their household registration to Qiongzhou Island. They said they were unwilling to do so and wanted to return to the capital to retire."

"Old Chen, Sister Xiaoli, we Xia people all have a sense of homeland. It is hard to leave our homeland. Let's go, let's have breakfast first, and then I'll take you to the airport to catch your flight."

Yang Yukun carried the suitcase downstairs and put it in the car.

When Cai Xiaoli and her friends came back this time, they stayed at the Sanqiuye Hotel, the main branch of the railway station.

"Mr. Chen, Sister Xiaoli, what do you want to eat?"

"Noodles with soybean paste, I haven't had it for so many years, I really miss it."

"Row."

After picking up Chen Zhihua and Cai Xiaoli, Yang Yukun took them to the Xidan branch of the No. 1 Zhajiang Noodle Restaurant in the old capital.

"Xiao Kun."

"Sister Hou, where are you in the store today? Where is your brother-in-law?"

"He's in another store."

"Sister Hou, give us three big bowls of shredded pork noodles with soybean paste."

"Okay, find a seat yourself."

"Dude, can we share a table?"

"Sit down."

"Thank you, Lao Chen, Sister Xiaoli, let's sit here."

Since its opening, Liu Yunguang and Hou Su'e's noodle restaurant has never had a bad business, especially in the morning and at lunchtime, when there are often times when there are not even any seats available.

It's not even seven in the morning and there are no empty tables in the store.

The three of them found a table with few people and shared it with a friend.

"Old Chen, Sister Xiaoli, try the pickles made by Brother-in-law Hou."

Yang Yukun went to get some free pickles.

The pickles at the No. 1 Zhajiang Noodle Restaurant in the old capital are unique. They are all made by Liu Yunguang himself and are more authentic than those produced by Liubiju.

When the first noodle restaurant in the old capital opened, Han Chunming tasted the pickles made by Liu Yunguang and even learned the skill of making pickles from Liu Yunguang.

The amount of free pickles is limited, and only diners who arrive early in the morning can get them.

“Delicious, very unique taste.”

"I haven't eaten pickles in years. Xiaokun, do you sell pickles in Sister Hou's store?"

"Not for sale."

"Let's go to Liubiju first. I want to buy some pickles to take back."

"Okay, I'll get some more."

The dish of pickles was finished before the noodles arrived, so Yang Yukun went to get some more.

"Xiao Kun, your noodles are here. I'll treat you guys."

After the noodles were cooked, Hou Su'e personally brought the noodles to the table and served three bottles of Arctic Ocean soda.

"Thank you, Sister Hou."

"You're welcome, Gon. Would you mind introducing yourself?"

"Sister Xiaoli, this is Sister Xiaoli's lover Chen Zhihua."

Cai Xiaoli smiled and said, "Sister Hou, it's me, Cai Xiaoli."

"I was wondering why you looked so familiar, Xiaoli, it turned out to be you."

As soon as Yang Yukun and the other two entered the room, Hou Su'e felt that Cai Xiaoli looked very familiar, but she couldn't remember who she was for a moment.

Of course she knew Cai Xiaoli, Han Chunming's ex-girlfriend, who went to Guangdong after breaking up with Han Chunming.

After not seeing her for many years, Cai Xiaoli has changed a lot compared to before. If Yang Yukun hadn't been there, Hou Su'e really wouldn't have been able to recognize her.

"Sister Hou, when your store first opened, I ate noodles with mixed sauce at your place."

Cai Xiaoli remembered that the No. 1 Zhajiang Noodle Restaurant in the old capital was opened in February 1982. At that time, she had not yet gone south to Guangdong, and she and Han Chunming had eaten Zhajiang Noodles here several times.

"So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. When did you come back?"

"I've been back for three or four days. My cousin got married and we came back to attend the wedding banquet. We will be going back to Qiongzhou Island soon." "It's not easy to come back once, why don't you stay a few more days? Why are you in such a hurry to go back?"

"It's the end of the year, and there's a lot going on. The company has a lot of things to do, so I can't leave for too long."

"There are indeed a lot of things to do near the end of the year. What time is your flight?"

"Nine and a half years, arrived at Qiongzhou Island at 1:30 p.m."

"I wish you a safe journey. Come back more often when you have time. Our imperial capital has changed a lot over the years. If you don't come back for many years, I'm afraid you won't even be able to tell where is where in the future."

"The capital has indeed changed a lot over the years. Many places have changed. Yesterday morning, Lao Chen and I went for a walk and almost got lost."

"So you should come back often when you have time, and come back more often to catch up with your friends."

"Will do."

"Then take your time eating, call me if you need anything."

"Sister Hou, you are busy."

"Old Chen, Sister Xiaoli, are you full? Would you like another bowl?" Yang Yukun put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked Chen Zhihua and Cai Xiaoli.

"I am full."

"I'm full too."

"Then let's leave. I'll go to Liubiju with you to buy pickles first, and then I'll take you directly to the airport to catch your flight." Yang Yukun said hello to Hou Su'e, "Sister Hou, we'll leave first."

"Okay, Xiaokun, Xiaochen, Xiaoli, take care."

"Sister Hou, you are busy."

"Goodbye, and have a safe journey."

"Thank you."

After having breakfast at the No. 1 Zhajiang Noodle Restaurant in the old capital, Yang Yukun took Chen Zhihua and Cai Xiaoli to Liubiju to buy some pickles, and then headed straight to the capital airport.

Forty minutes later, Yang Yukun sent Chen Zhihua and Cai Xiaoli to the airport.

It's 7:30 in the morning now, and they both have a flight at 9:30 in the morning, so they have plenty of time.

"Old Chen, Sister Xiaoli, I have prepared some special products of the imperial capital for you. I also made roast duck and roast goose, and two jars of wine."

"Xiao Kun, thank you. When you have time, Jingping will take Xiao Zongzi and the others to visit Qiongzhou Island."

"Okay, call me when I get home."

"Then we'll go in first, and you can go back too."

"Let's go."

"Go back."

After walking up a distance, Chen Zhihua and Cai Xiaoli turned around and waved to Yang Yukun.

After watching Chen Zhihua and Cai Xiaoli enter the station, Yang Yukun turned around and left, returning to the Qianmen building.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm back."

"You're back. Lao Chen and Sister Xiaoli left?"

"You should still be in the terminal waiting to board the plane. Have you and Xiao Zongzi had breakfast?"

"I ate it. I made some egg fried rice with yesterday's leftovers."

"Where's the little Zongzi? Where did this girl go?"

"Fei Fei and Meng Meng just came over to play with her. This girl went to the compound with Fei Fei and Meng Meng."

Starting from yesterday after school, Xiao Zongzi officially started her winter vacation and will go back to school after the Lantern Festival.

Shortly after breakfast, Feifei and Mengmeng ran over to find Xiao Zongzi.

After playing at home for a while, Xiao Zongzi and Feifei Mengmeng went to the slum together.

"By the way, Xiao Kun, the Shencheng Restaurant's self-use building and the City Plaza Commercial Complex have all been completed and delivered, and the investment promotion work for the City Plaza Commercial Complex is almost done."

"The New Year is only half a month away. Do you want to go and take a look?"

"General Manager Luo went there yesterday. I plan to go again after the New Year."

"Row."

Xu Jingping had told him before that the Shencheng Restaurant's own building and the City Plaza commercial complex project would be completed before the end of the year.

The project in Shanghai has been completed, and will be completed in Guangzhou and Shenzhen soon. Zhiweilou Catering Company will also start restaurant self-use buildings and city square commercial complex projects in other cities.

Yang Yukun also planned to take a trip to Pengcheng before the New Year. The agricultural development company needed funds, and the dividends from Jiantu Mingkun Investment Group were all kept in the Nanyang Commercial Bank.

Xu Jingping has already registered the Agricultural Development Company. He needs to transfer the funds into the company's account. After the New Year, the company will recruit people and start farm, ranch and fishery projects.

Transferring money is more troublesome these days, so he has to go there in person. (End of this chapter)
