After hearing what the boss said, Yun Yan started chatting with him: "Boss, your sour plum soup must be very famous."
"Girl, I'm not bragging, it's just that universities are on vacation now. If you come here on normal days, you won't be able to get a drink without waiting in line for half an hour," said the boss.
Hearing him say that, Yun Yan became a little curious, and took out money to ask the boss to give her a cup.
Yun Yan took the sour plum soup and took a sip. The sour plum soup was smooth, sweet and sour, leaving a long-lasting aftertaste.
After drinking a cup of sour plum soup, Yun Yan felt that the heat had subsided and she felt much more refreshed.
"Boss, do you sell the ingredients for your sour plum soup? I'm here in Beijing for a trip and I want to buy a few packets to cook it myself!" Yun Yan asked.
"Of course, many customers usually come to buy the raw materials for sour plum soup and take them home to cook and drink by themselves!" said the boss.
So Yunyan bought ten packets of uncooked sour plum soup ingredients. The boss said that one packet could make three pounds of sour plum soup.
After buying the raw materials, Yun Yan asked the boss to fill her a cup of ready-made sour plum soup, intending to take it back to the guesthouse for Xinyi to drink.
After returning to the guesthouse, Yun Yan woke up Xin Yi and placed the food and sour plum soup on the bedside table.
Xinyi simply washed up and started drinking the sour plum soup.
"Sister Yunyan, this sour plum soup is so delicious! After taking a sip, I feel a lot more awake." Xinyi said after taking a sip of the sour plum soup.
"If you like to drink it, you will have plenty of opportunities in the future. The shop selling sour plum soup is on the street near your Peking University." Yun Yan said with a smile.
After drinking the sour plum soup, Xinyi started to eat. After several days of poor eating and sleeping on the train, she finally had a good meal today.
"Sister Yunyan, are there really so many food stalls near our school?" Xinyi asked after dinner.
"Yes, there are not only food, but also daily necessities and other things. It is more lively and convenient than the university in Guangzhou." Yun Yan said.
Hearing her say this, Xinyi couldn't help but yearn for her college life. She hadn't spent much money in the past few years, and with the bonus from the county and the brigade, she still had over 700 yuan.
I also heard that the university would provide living expenses, and students who performed well would receive scholarships. This way, she wouldn't be particularly short of money during her four years at university, and she wouldn't be like before when she saw something she liked and wanted to eat but couldn't afford it.
The next morning, Yunyan and Xinyi got up early. They had agreed before going to bed last night that they would go visit Peking University.
After washing up, the two of them left the guesthouse. Xinyi looked around as they walked to the commercial street near Beijing University. Although it was summer vacation, there were still many teachers and students staying on campus.
The two of them found a breakfast shop and ordered a bowl of noodles each. Yun Yan also saw douzhi (fermented soybean juice), a specialty of Beijing. In her previous life, she had seen people online specifically trying douzhi, saying it tasted like pig manure that had been sitting for two weeks!
Seeing the old man at the next table sipping it with gusto, Yun Yan seemed to understand why some people were willing to try douzhi. Seeing the locals enjoying it would certainly pique the curiosity of those who had never tried it.
However, Yun Yan didn't dare to try it easily. After all, a specialty product like douzhi that had not been promoted nationwide would definitely not be accepted by ordinary people!
After breakfast, Yunyan and Xinyi walked around the area again and then arrived at the gate of Peking University.
"Sister Yunyan, is this the most famous university in China?" Xinyi asked.
"Yes, this is also where you will start your new life in the future." Yun Yan said with a smile.
Originally, Xinyi wanted to go into the school early to take a look, but the security guard at the door said that she couldn't enter before the registration date.
Over the next few days, Yunyan took Xinyi to the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and the Great Wall, taking numerous photos. They then visited several of Beijing's more famous streets, eating roast duck at Jude and pastries at Xiangcun.
Yunyan also bought a lot of local specialties to take back to Guangzhou as souvenirs. After a few days of eating and drinking, she bought a lot of things.
The date for Xinyi to report soon arrived. Yunyan bought a train ticket back to Guangzhou in advance and decided to return to Guangzhou immediately after Xinyi reported to Peking University.
She had also been wandering around Jing City these past few days, but hadn't seen any suitable shops. The day before Xinyi reported for duty, Yunyan took her to the Friendship Store in Jing City.
Foreign exchange coupons were required to enter the Friendship Store, so Yun Yan asked someone to exchange three foreign exchange coupons for her.
After entering the Friendship Store, Yun Yan felt like she was browsing a modern store in this era. The items inside were dazzling, and they were all things that could not be bought in ordinary department stores outside.
The imported clothes, cosmetics, milk powder and all kinds of other things are dazzling.
Yunyan bought Xinyi an insulated lunch box and two thermos cups, as well as some other things. She spent all three foreign exchange coupons before preparing to leave.
When she reached the stairs to the second floor, Yun Yan met someone she thought she would never see again in her life.
"Yun Yan, long time no see!" Qian Qian saw Yun Yan and greeted her happily.
"Qian Qian, long time no see!" Yun Yan responded to her with a smile.
"Why are you in Jing City? Did you also get admitted to a university in Jing City?" Qian Qian asked.
"No, I was admitted to a university in Guangzhou. This time I accompanied Xinyi to register at Peking University." Yun Yan said.
Seeing Yun Yan pointing at the person next to her, Qian Qian seemed to have some impression of her, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her.
"Yun Yan, have I seen Xin Yi somewhere before? She always looks familiar to me." Qian Qian asked in confusion.
"Xinyi is from the Red Flag Brigade. You've met her before." Yun Yan explained.
After hearing her say this, Qian Qian remembered that she was the little girl who used to take loaches and eels to Yun Yan to sell. Her name seemed to be Pan Di!
"Yun Yan, we haven't seen each other for so long. Let's find a place to have a good chat! There's a restaurant next door that serves delicious food. Let's go and try it together." Qian Qian said.
Hearing her say this, Yun Yan did not refuse. She followed her out of the Friendship Store and went to a restaurant next door.
"Yun Yan, these are my brother, sister-in-law and my nephew. Their family is also having dinner here. Let me introduce you to them!" Qian Qian said after taking Yun Yan and Xin Yi into a private room.
"This is my brother Qian Shen, my sister-in-law Luo Yanqiu, and my nephew Qian Jingzhou."
"Brother, this is Yun Yan whom I mentioned to you." Qian Qian introduced them to each other.
After greeting each other, they sat down at the table to eat.
"I've always heard Qianqian mention you, but I didn't expect Comrade Yunyan to be so beautiful! I wonder if you are married?" asked Qian Qian's sister-in-law Luo Yanqiu.
"I'm not married yet. I'm still in college and have no plans to get married for the time being." Yun Yan said softly.
"Yun Yan, how many days can you stay in Beijing this time? I'm getting married the day after tomorrow. I wonder if you have time." Qian Qian said.
