According to Xu Jianguo's memories from his previous life, this restaurant continued to exist until his death, but over the years, it had been transformed from a state-owned enterprise to a private one.
In addition to hot pot, dishes such as fermented black bean fish, twice-cooked pork, and kidney slices in fermented black beans are also specialties of this restaurant.
Because it was the first time for Wenwen and Lele to come to Chengdu, and when they were in Binhai and Dawali before, they rarely had the opportunity to leave the base.
So on the way to the restaurant, the two little guys' big eyes were filled with curiosity. Everything they saw was new, and they felt overwhelmed.
The jelly in Daya and the other two's hands was discovered by Lele, who found it by following the smell.
Ever since arriving in Chengdu, Daya and Erya's Mandarin accents have involuntarily switched to the Bashu style.
Whether asking for directions or buying jelly, they spoke authentic Sichuan dialect, which made Wenwen and Lele feel quite magical. They kept clamoring to learn from their eldest and second aunts.
Wen Sitian had never been to Bashu since she was a child, and Luo Jing had never taught her Bashu dialect, so she only inherited her mother's Bashu genetic characteristics in eating spicy food.
Soon, the family arrived at this state-owned restaurant. After entering, Wen Sitian led the children to find a seat and sit down, while Xu Jianguo was responsible for ordering food.
In addition to hot pot, we also ordered several of the restaurant's specialties.
Such an arrogant way of ordering food immediately attracted the attention of the waiters and other guests, but when everyone saw Xu Jianguo wearing a cadre military uniform, no one said anything anymore.
Considering that Lele and Wenwen can't eat spicy food, and there is no double-flavor hot pot in the restaurant, Xu Jianguo specially asked the waiter for two empty bowls, poured some hot water in the bowls, and allowed them to rinse the bowls in the clean water while eating hot pot.
Unlike the copper pots in Jingzhou, the copper pots in Bashu are flatter and larger, making it much more convenient to pick up things.
Except for the copper pot which was brought by the waiter, all the rest of the dishes were brought by Xu Jianguo, Wen Sitian and Daya themselves. This was also a major feature of state-owned restaurants in that era.
As the red soup base continued to boil, lunch officially began.
Different from Wen Sitian and the other two who had expressions of enjoyment on their faces, Xu Jianguo, Funiu, Wenwen and Lele would make bursts of "hissing" sounds from time to time.
Seeing the three little guys sweating and sticking out their tongues while eating, Xu Jianguo took out the military kettle from the space while no one was paying attention. Inside was chilled Le Duoduo, which he had specially prepared in advance for today's hot pot.
After asking the waiter for a few clean cups, Xu Jianguo poured a cup for everyone, which eased the anger in their hearts.
The meal lasted more than an hour. When the family put down their chopsticks, they all leaned back in their chairs involuntarily, their movements so coordinated as if they had rehearsed it in advance.
After resting for a while, the family left the restaurant under the shocked gaze of the waiter.
I glanced at the time on the military watch on my wrist. It was a little after one in the afternoon.
After discussing it, the couple finally decided that the family would return to the space first, and then Xu Jianguo would take the three girls to Daya and Erya's hometown.
…
With a flash of white light, Xu Jianguo and his four companions appeared in a small forest not far from the Lingyun Buddha in Jiazhou City, Bashu.
Walking out of the grove, there is a dirt road outside, which is where Xu Jianguo first met Daya and Erya.
The destination of their trip was Xiapingba Production Team, not far from here, which was also the hometown of Daya and Erya.
After walking for about half an hour, a small village appeared in front of the four people.
Looking at the familiar scene in the distance, Daya and Erya were a little dazed, until Funiu called them, they came back to their senses.
According to the results of the previous discussion between Xu Jianguo and the two sisters, they decided to adopt a polite approach before force. They went to the production team to find their team leader and handle the relocation of the grave through formal channels.
Although this is a bit troublesome, it won't give people any room for criticism.
Ten minutes later, a group of four people walked into the village. It was afternoon working time, so most of the villagers were in the fields at this time.
When Xu Jianguo and his companions entered the village, there was a big willow tree. Some old people and children in the village were enjoying the coolness under the tree.
Seeing four people from other villages walking straight past them, an old man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies asked them what they were doing.
The old man had few teeth left in his mouth, so his speech was a little lisp, and coupled with his thick dialect, Xu Jianguo couldn't understand anything he said.
But with Daya and Erya here, there is no need to worry about translation issues.
The two girls knew the old man, but they did not recognize him directly. Instead, they looked at their brother and translated his words.
Xu Jianguo smiled slightly and asked Daya to tell him that they were here to find their team leader. After that, he took the lead and walked towards the village.
After saying something to the old man, Daya ignored him and left with Erya and Funniu, following Xu Jianguo.
When the old man heard that they were looking for the captain, and Xu Jianguo was wearing a military uniform, he no longer took it seriously.
But just as he sat down with his back against the big willow tree, another old man beside him suddenly said, "Sixth brother, do you think that girl who just spoke looks familiar?"
