In the past few years, a lot of good things were dug up from the underground palace in Changchun, all of which were not taken away by Puyi at that time, and the boxes were all hung with locks.I had no choice but to invite this old man. I didn't expect this old man to be really capable. He opened it with a few small wires and a small chisel in the effort of a cigarette. He also said that these locks were made by himself when he was young. They are pure locks. The craftsmanship left by the Manchus, no one in the world can open it except him.

"Oh? According to you, this is still an expert! An expert has integrity. At such an old age, life, death, and wealth are just clouds to him. I am sure there is something ulterior in this brocade box." He knows a thing or two about his secrets, and he is unwilling to reveal them for us! We will set off to go back tomorrow, and I want to visit him personally!"

Not to mention, the sage Yin Yang is really clever. Fortunately, he left this note. After soaking in the dog soup in the hot spring temple, the curse in the body of the mouse was temporarily suppressed. I purposely shared a room with him, and he slept soundly all night, and the curse never happened.In this way, he returned to the state he had been in the past few days. He only needs to drink some animal blood for food every day and he will be fine.

The next morning we set off on our way back to our hometown. It was already afternoon when we drove back to Changchun. When we got home, we didn’t have time to rest and wanted to visit the old locksmith. The four of us prepared gifts without stopping, and came to pay a visit.

Mr. Zhang lives in Xinmin Hutong on the main road. Perhaps the name is unfamiliar to outsiders. Now that Changchun is developing rapidly, the old alleys named after Hutongs have long since disappeared. It’s just that the old Changchun people mentioned Xinmin Hutong. Come but no one knows no one knows.This place is particular.

In the previous dynasty, Changchun was called Xinmin Mansion, and it was not the provincial capital. Jilin City was the provincial capital of Jilin.Later, in the late Qing Dynasty, because Changchun was in the middle of Jilin Province and had convenient transportation, it was renamed Changchun, which means that the four seasons are like spring, just because the weather in Changchun is too cold in winter, and people hope that the climate here is like the distant sky. pleasant.

The most prosperous street in Changchun Prefecture is called Dama Road. From the Republic of China until the establishment of Little Japan as its capital, this commercial street has been developing. Dama Road runs through Nanguan (Nanguan) and Changchun Station. It is the earliest old resident of Changchun.The most prosperous alley on the main road is called Xinmin Hutong. The most prosperous stage of Xinmin Hutong was after the Japanese entered Changchun.This small alley is like the current pedestrian street.

There are shops of all walks of life on the left and right, those famous big restaurants are all here, what is Hui Baozhen, Lao Hantou, so different, etc... These time-honored big brands that people are familiar with now are all originally in Xinmin Started in the alley.The most famous one is the century-old brand "Dingfengzhen".Dingfengzhen specializes in making pastries, and the masters were all employed by Puyi, the last emperor at that time.Up to now, Dingfengzhen is still a living golden signboard in Changchun, a century-old brand, and the pastries it makes are so crispy and sweet!If you have the opportunity to come to Changchun, don't miss it.

Returning to the main story, with the liberation of Changchun, the commercial district gradually shifted to Stalin Street (now Renmin Street) on the west side, and Xinmin Hutong gradually receded from the historical stage, and finally even Dingfengzhen moved to the street facing the main road. .Xinmin Hutong was rebuilt in the early 90s. This small alley that was bustling a hundred years ago has now become a large open space, just waiting for developers to build buildings.
