Division Chief Wei, who brought the license plate, had already changed into casual clothes.
Looking at the time, it was already 4 pm. Division Chief Wei told Chen Weizheng that his next job was to take care of both public and private matters. His official job was to send Chen Weizheng home. This place was very remote, and even a taxi was not available. Tomorrow was New Year's Eve and the New Year holiday officially began.
Division Chief Wei lived in Fengtai. He asked Chen Weizheng where he lived. Chen Weizheng didn't know where he lived. He only knew that it was probably in the Southern Suburbs. He told Division Chief Wei not to bother about him and just to find a place with a taxi to drop him off.
After walking for about an hour, the car entered a large taxi port. Division Chief Wei said that this place was the intersection between the Southern Suburbs and Fengtai. He could only take Chen Weizheng here. Chen Weizheng had to figure out the rest of the way by himself. Chen Weizheng thanked Division Chief Wei and got out of the car with a few license plates wrapped in newspapers. The first thing he did when he got out of the car was to throw the license plates into the mobile phone.
He called Ren Sui and told him where he was and how to get back to Cuizhuyuan. Ren Sui said that he was eating roast duck at a parking lot called Lv Jiaying in the Southern District. He asked Chen Weizheng to take a taxi to the parking lot of Lv Jiaying.
Chen Weizheng found a taxi and said that he was going to the parking lot of Lv Jiaying. The taxi driver looked at him as if he had seen a ghost and said, "Brother Bing. Are you kidding me? This is the parking lot of Lv Jiaying. Where do you want me to go? "
"This is the parking lot! Where is the roast duck of Quanjude? "Chen Weizheng asked.
"That's the right question!" The taxi driver said, "You have to walk there. If you take a taxi, it won't be worth it and it won't be enough. But it's also hard to walk there. Do you see the overpass in front? You have to go there and then … It's hard to say. Just give me ten yuan and I'll take you there. "
Chen Weizheng was happy. He took out ten yuan and handed it over. It was really close, but it was a detour. It was hard to tell.
Ren Sui was waiting under the building. When he saw Chen Weizheng, he greeted him and walked into the restaurant. This was a very traditional and culturally decorated shop. It looked very cultured. His family had asked for a small private room of just the right size. Translation There were not many people Translation.... But if one wanted to be here at this time tomorrow, he had to be three months ago...
Duck's the main dish was duck...... After studying the menu for half a day, he ordered 1 Quanjude Premium Roast Duck, 2 trays of homemade Lotus Leaf Pancakes, 8 bits of Scallion Sweet Noodle Sauce, Old Yanjing Tofu, Old Street Braised Pork, Teppanyaki Fish with Mixed Mushrooms, Garlic Steamed Scallops with Vermicelli, Peanut Sauce with Black Fungus, Mixed Grain Cornbread, and Old Fire Soup.

Chen Weizheng asked if he could bring his own drinks. The waiter said that if the hotel had it, it was best to spend it in the restaurant. If not, he could bring his own drinks. Chen Weizheng felt that the waiter was right. He ordered two bottles of Flying Maotai. The waiter told him that each bottle was 2500 yuan. Chen Weizheng thought it was not expensive and could accept it.
Chen Weizheng asked where they went today. Liu Yi said they went to Summer Palace to see the snow and saw the legendary throne of Imperial Concubine Yi. Chen Weizheng asked how it was. Liu Yi said that the snow in the Summer Palace was really beautiful. She had a strong sense of belonging to the Summer Palace and felt that it was very comfortable to stay there. Chen Weizheng smiled and asked Ren Sui if there was a hotel in Summer Palace. If there was, he would let Liu Yi stay there for a few days. Ren Sui said that there shouldn't be. Even if there was, no one would dare to stay there. After the sun went down, there was a cloud of Yin energy. Other than the evil spirit of the Empress Dowager, there was also the resentful spirit of the short-lived Emperor. Whoever stayed there would be harmed by these things.
Lü Wei said that Ren Sui was scaring people. There was no such thing.
Chen Weizheng told Liu Yi that it was too cold now. When summer came, he would take her to Summer Palace to camp. Let's see if they could meet the evil spirit of the Empress Dowager or the beautiful Concubine Zhen. Liu Yi expressed her regret that Chen Weizheng could not go to Summer Palace to see the snow. She said, "Hubby, why did you go to a meeting today? You didn't even see the beautiful snow in Summer Palace."
Chen Weizheng told her that today's harvest was not small. He was promoted and was even selected as an advanced worker.
Liu Yi said, "It's possible to be promoted, but it's impossible to be selected as an advanced worker!" How could he be selected as an advanced worker if he was strolling around Qingshan Town every day? Unless …
Before Liu Yi could finish, Chen Weizheng pulled out a bright red certificate from his pocket. He really was an advanced worker.
"Brother, you really got promoted." Ren Sui asked.
"Really." Chen Weizheng said, "I didn't expect it either. I was promoted to colonel, but my unit is still in Qingshan Town and the capital. I can stay wherever I want. No one checks my attendance."
"Oh my god!" Ren Sui sighed, "Such a good thing actually exists. Why didn't I encounter it?"
The family happily finished eating a piece of duck. Chen Weizheng, Ren Guoan, and Ren Sui finished two bottles of Maotai and returned home. Lü Wei drove.
When they woke up, it was already New Year's Eve.
The evil capitalist still had to work half a day on New Year's Eve. After work, Ren Sui and Lü Wei went to the supermarket to buy some local dishes. Lü Wei considered that there would be four male classmates coming to New Year's Eve together. He was afraid that the prepared dishes would not be enough, so he asked Qin Juan to go with the four male classmates first so that they could help Li Jing do something.
Nowadays, the supermarket had become a semi-finished product market. If you were not particular, if you were not picky, you could buy a complete set of New Year's Eve banquet from the supermarket. It would not be too troublesome even if you went home to process it. When they arrived at the supermarket, Lü Wei first chose a large piece of spiced donkey meat. As the saying goes, dragon meat in heaven, donkey meat in hell. This was not a common dish in the south, but it was a typical dish in the north. Then he chose a set of Four Happiness Meatballs. Four Happiness Meatballs was a dish often eaten in China during the New Year. It was also called Braised Lion's Head in Soy Sauce. This was a famous dish in Huaiyang. There were fat and lean meats. The rosy and glossy meat was complemented by emerald green vegetables. The bright color and the aroma that assailed the nose could arouse one's appetite just by looking at it. The mellow and fragrant meat and juices were an irresistible top delicacy. The Four Happiness Meatballs in the supermarket were mostly finished products. When they got home, they only needed to add an appropriate amount of water to the casserole. Then they added the fried meatballs, sliced scallions and ginger, and pepper seasoning. Then the remaining soup in the casserole would continue to boil. Then they would add water and starch until it was thick. Then they would pour sesame oil over the meatballs.
Vegetarian dumplings were a custom of the northerners. Although the southerners also ate dumplings during the New Year, they were definitely meat dumplings. The northerners ate vegetarian dumplings because they wanted the word "vegetarian". Ordinary people hoped that the New Year would not have any big ups and downs and would be peaceful. "Susu quietly passes the New Year."
At this time, Lv Wei saw a special dish, Assorted Vegetables, also known as Ten Kinds of Dishes. It was a Jinling special dish, which meant that there were no less than ten kinds of vegetables stir-fried together. The more than ten kinds of vegetables also had different meanings. The soybean sprout looked like Ruyi, which meant that "everything is good"; the shepherd's purse sounded like "gather wealth", which meant that it attracted wealth; the celery sounded similar to "diligent", which meant that it took the meaning of "get rich through hard work"; the daylily meant that it was in the prime of life and had a bright future; the mushroom meant "harmony and beauty"; even the bean products, Qianzhang, also had the meaning of "prosperity for generations". Although the Assorted Vegetables in the supermarket were very different from Lü Wei's hometown, the taste of her hometown still made her unable to resist buying a large bag.
"Enough!" Ren Sui said: "Enough! As long as my brother is here, you don't have to worry about not having good food. "
At this time, Chen Weizheng did not go shopping. Instead, he was admiring the snow in Houhai's old alley.
Chen Weizheng came to Houhai to admire the snow because of Liu Yi's bewitchment. Early in the morning, Liu Yi opened his tablet and looked for the best place to admire the snow in Yanjing. He wanted to accompany Chen Weizheng to admire the snow. There was a paragraph on the internet that piqued Liu Yi's interest. "It's said that the alleys are the most unique in Yanjing. When it snows, you have to take a stroll around the alleys. The alleys in the snow have the unique atmosphere of old Yanjing. You can hear the sound of an old man sharpening his knife at a corner or meet a young man pushing a cart of bright red candied hawthorns. The most well-preserved alleys in Yanjing are in the Houhai area. The most typical area is Nanluo Gu Alley. There are eight symmetrical alleys in the east and west that are shaped like centipedes. That's why it's also called 'Centipede Street'. When it snows, you can feel the life of Yanjing's ordinary people the most. It's the most down-to-earth! "
When he arrived at Houhai, he realized that reality was far from the case. The snow on the ground had long been trampled into mud. The remaining snow was also filled with cars. Only the thick snow on the roofs of the alleys told people that it had once snowed here. He couldn't hear the sound of the old man sharpening his knife. The old man had already gone home for the New Year. The person pushing the cart of bright red candied hawthorns wasn't a young man, but a sloppy old man. Because it was cold, there was snot under his nose. He would occasionally wipe it with the back of his hand and pull it up.
Chen Weizheng said: "If this snot is smeared on the candied hawthorns, wouldn't it be even more translucent?" Liu Yi fiercely punched Chen Weizheng and said: "I'll never eat candied hawthorns again!" Chen Weizheng laughed. It wasn't his loss that Liu Yi didn't eat candied hawthorns.
After all, Houhai was Houhai. This place was full of hundreds of years of cultural sedimentation. It had nearly a thousand years of cultural atmosphere. Everywhere it reflected the style of old Yanjing. After walking around Houhai's food street, Chen Weizheng and Liu Yi finally bought two steamed rice balls. They laughed as they ate. They wanted to eat some of the capital's flavor, but in the end, they ate a Japanese rice bag. It seemed that cultural invasion was everywhere.
The sound of firecrackers could be heard in the city. The roadside stalls also started to pack up and the shops started to close. People were preparing for the New Year. After all, the New Year was the most important festival in the hearts of Chinese people. No matter whether they had money or not, no matter whether they had food or not, gathering together was a reunion. Let's go home!
Chen Weizheng took out a few jins of sea shrimp, a section of mackerel, and a few large crabs. These were all harvested from the beach half a year ago. He hadn't touched them since they were in the storage space. The preservation of freshness in the storage space was superb. Boiled sea shrimp, dry-fried mackerel, and steamed crab wouldn't do, but stir-fried with ginger and onions should be good. He also took out a box of Maotai. This was tonight's main drink.
Chen Weizheng gave the taxi driver 200 yuan before the driver agreed to send them to Cui Zhu Yuan. There were no returning customers and an empty car would waste a lot of gas.
