Chapter 389: Old Beijing Douzhi

389 Old Beijing Douzhi

When we woke up the next morning, everyone's spirits had returned to normal.

Breakfast is porridge cooked by the nanny, and of course there are side dishes and meat, all according to the set standards.

Shen Yiyi and her group also ate together with the dormitory. Although it was a big pot of rice, it actually tasted very good and was clean.

This nanny used to work in a hotel, but she retired when the hotel went bankrupt.

One of her nieces works at the first branch. After seeing the recruitment, she introduced her over. She has been working there ever since, cooking for the dormitory. Chu Hao and the other employees supervise the meals. These young people have also experienced the hard times in the past, and they all come back to the dormitory to eat.

They will save as much as they can, all five of them, because Shen Yiyi and Chu Bing have talked to them about it.

Especially Shen Yiyi, she asked them about their development intentions. Have they ever thought about settling down in Beijing?

It is not easy to settle down. First you need a house, and then you need a Beijing household registration. Both the house and the household registration require money.

So even though they earn a lot, they are reluctant to spend it because if they want to buy a house, it will cost a lot of money, so they have to save well.

Of course, they all have families, so they will definitely send some money back home.

Everyone gets a few days off every month, and it's up to them whether they want to take them all together or separately.

You can also take a break and go home to visit. Chu Hao and the others have been back before.

Although we keep in touch by phone, my family will get worried if I don’t see them for a long time, so it’s nice to go back and visit them.

None of them come from wealthy families, and they are truly children from poor families, and can endure hardships.

So their consumption is really low, they just want to buy houses and household registration here, and want to put down roots here.

After all, this is the capital city, who wouldn’t yearn for it?

Others may not know, but after they came here, they wanted to settle down here.

As they don't have to spend any money on food and accommodation, they save money very quickly, which also makes them very motivated.

Everyone eats together, so of course the nanny won't cut any money from the bill. But the nanny is a nice person, and she keeps a record of the bill for Chu Hao to review every day as required.

Besides, Shen Yiyi offered me a high salary, so it’s all right.

The cleaning lady also cleaned the dormitory building very well.

Let’s not talk about all this for now. After breakfast, Shen Yiyi drove her family out to have fun.

The first place we arrived was Tiananmen Square.

Mother Qin was so happy, "I actually saw Tiananmen Square earlier than your father!"

Qin Xiaoyan was also excited. This was the Tiananmen Square in Beijing as written in the book!

Hengheng and Fantuan are still young and don’t feel these things that deeply, but the two little brothers are also having fun here and are very happy.

Shen Yiyi took out her camera with a smile and took pictures of the two young men. Of course, she also took pictures of Qin's mother. She asked Qin's mother to pose and then took a picture of the little old lady in front of Tiananmen Square, her smile prettier than a flower.

Qin Xiaoyan also took a photo. It's a rare opportunity for her to come here, so of course she has to take photos as a souvenir. A photo doesn't cost much, so she's not stingy.

Not only do we take photos here, we also take photos in other places.

Walk around and have a look, not limited to this.

At noon, we found a restaurant to have lunch, and then found a hotel to take a nap.

Since I got up early in the morning and spent the whole morning shopping, I needed to take a nap.

After waking up, Shen Yiyi continued to drive them to visit tourist attractions.

Shen Yiyi was also moved, because Hengheng and Fantuan were really tough. The two guys were used to running around in the compound, so it was no problem for them to go out for a trip. They didn't even complain of being tired at the end of the day, but they did complain of being hungry.

But even if I brought some snacks, they wouldn’t be enough to keep the two brothers hungry.

At the end of the day, I had used up all the film I brought with me, but I still had a very satisfying shopping experience.

We still ate roast duck outside in the evening. There was no other way because Hengheng and Fantuan liked it so much, but we only ordered half a duck.

Shen Yiyi ate too much, and it tasted no different from ordinary roast duck, but if they liked it, she ordered it for them to eat. Of course, Qin's mother Qin Xiaoyan also ate it, and there were also some other special dishes.

When talking about the characteristics of old Beijing, we have to mention old bean juice.

This thing was also on the menu. Mother Qin wanted to order it, but was stopped by Shen Yiyi.

"This doesn't taste good. We can't accept the taste."

"What does it smell like?" Qin's mother was still a little curious.

Shen Yiyi thought about it and said, "It's just like the smell of those big masters tickling their genitals outside in the dog days of summer!"

These words made Qin's mother's face change, "Can this thing be served on the table?"

Qin Xiaoyan was also surprised, "Yeah, then it won't go bad, right?"

"The tastes vary from place to place." Shen Yiyi respects other people's food culture but is determined not to try it.

She had never drunk this stuff in her life, she just heard about it from others.

There is also a joke online that out of 100 cups of soy milk in old Beijing, 98 are bought by outsiders, and the remaining two are given to two female stars.

However, all outsiders who have drunk this stuff will spray it.

For example, the new guests at the next table also seemed to be tourists from out of town, so they ordered.

What is the result?

After spraying it, he called the waiter and said angrily, "What's wrong with you? Why did you bring such rotten stuff up here? There are children here. What if they get upset?"

They also have children and have filed a complaint against the hotel.

The hotel waiter was probably used to it, and said very experiencedly: "This is the flavor of soybean juice. This is also the authentic soybean juice of old Beijing."

As he said this, he poured a cup and showed it to them right in front of them, proving with actual experience that it really wasn't bad, it was just this taste.

The people at the opposite table looked unconvinced, but there was nothing they could do so they asked for the soy milk to be taken away.

Qin's mother was a talkative old lady, so she asked them what it tasted like. Was it the same as the smell of the old men's tickles in the hot summer?

"Auntie, how do you know? Have you drunk this? It tastes like rotten water!" The person on the other side immediately felt like they had found a like-minded person when they heard this. To be honest, they couldn't even get enough of the taste when rinsing their mouths.

Mother Qin secretly thought it was a close call, but she smiled and said that she had heard about it from others and she almost ordered it just now.

Then don’t be curious about what this soy milk tastes like, just drink corn juice or sour plum soup in peace!

The little incident during the meal passed, and after the meal, Shen Yiyi smiled and led her family home.

We passed by a very nice shop and bought some cakes and brought them back to share with everyone in the dormitory.

We have played all day today. Let’s take a shower and go to bed early because we are planning to go to the Great Wall tomorrow.

This is also a place where you must take photos as a souvenir after visiting the old capital, otherwise it would be a wasted trip.
