No. 11, Yangfang Hutong, Beijing.

A taxi was parked steadily on the side of the road, and the driver pointed diagonally in front: "Here!"

This is an ordinary alley with a stinking and quiet feeling. There is a sign of "Lijia Cuisine" hanging on the lintel on the roadside, and the walls are covered with cement, without any beauty or style. It is an extremely ordinary small shop.

Wang Bo got off the car first and looked at it, and immediately smiled: "Old Zhou said he wanted to treat him, so he called everyone to the capital from a thousand miles away, so he let us have dinner in such a place? I thought he invited us to heaven and earth."

Song Weiyang flew from Shenghai with Wang Bo. He pointed to the store sign and said, "Did you see the signature next to those three words? The sign was written by Pujie, the younger brother of the last emperor Puyi."

"That's quite good." Wang Bo said.

When I knocked on the door and entered, the dining table was placed in the yard, and there was only one table in the whole shop.

"Lijiacai" has opened a store in the 1980s. At first, one table a week, but due to the shortage of supply, it was changed to two tables a week, and now it has become one table a day.

When you come here to have a meal, you have to make an appointment in advance, otherwise you won’t be able to eat if you have money. Two years ago, Clinton visited China and ordered food six months in advance. When the date approached, the place was very guarded. As a result, Clinton temporarily changed the itinerary, and the table of food was cheaper than the US Secretary of the Treasury.

There are countless celebrities at home and abroad that the store owner has received. Anyway, ambassadors from all over the country have been here. There are all kinds of Microsoft President, Standard Chartered President, the Queen of the Netherlands, the Minister of the United States, the President of France, and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom...

The host Zhou Zhengyu had arrived a long time ago and was chatting with Nie Jun, Ding Ming and Peng Shengli. Seeing Song Weiyang and Wang Bo came in, the few people immediately stood up to greet him. Zhou Zhengyu ran directly to hug him: "Old Zhou, Lao Wang, long time no see, I miss you so much!"

Wang Bo smiled and beat Zhou Zhengyu's chest: "Yes, Mr. Zhou has grown a lot stronger. Do you eat steak every day in the United States?"

"Stop talking, the Americans' food is really bad. After two years, my tongue faded out of the bird." Zhou Zhengyu complained.

"This place is good," Song Weiyang sat down on the bench, "Has Lao Li come yet?"

Ding Ming did not continue to gain weight, but became much stronger and smiled and said, "I guess it's coming soon. I called me before."

Song Weiyang looked at Nie Jun's hair bun and joked, "Oh, is Master Nie very stylish? Do you have a golden elixir in your belly?"

"Then you have to go to the hospital to take an X-ray before you can find out." Nie Jun replied.

Wang Bole said: "That thing can only reveal stones."

Suddenly, the sound of the door being pushed out came from outside, and Li Yaolin walked in with his head held high. This guy didn't wear glasses when he was in college, but now he was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, wearing a suit, looking like a man, and hugged the air with his arms and said, "Brothers, I'm here!"

"You still know how to come, you are the slowest. You will punish yourself three times later!" Wang Bo cheered.

"Okay, okay, I'll punish myself for three cups," Li Yaolin saw Nie Jun's hair bun at a glance and said in surprise, "Comrade Nie, have you really become a monk and become a Taoist priest?"

Nie Jun said arrogantly: "The world is home, how can we talk about entering and leaving?"

Li Yaolin sat down and greeted the others, and asked Zhou Zhengyu again: "Old Nie came out of the mountain and spoke like this?"

Zhou Zhengyu smiled and said, "I took him to see a psychiatrist yesterday. At the beginning, this guy refused to go there. Guess what? He made the psychiatrist faint. He was so poor-mouthed that he looked so mentally ill for a long time. He could change his career and say crosstalk."

Everyone laughed.

Peng Shengli asked: "Old Li's son is half a year old, why didn't he bring his younger brother, sister and nephew?"

"It's not weaned yet, so it's inconvenient to go out," Li Yaolin asked, "Where are you, why don't you bring your family? By the way, Lao Zhou should bring an American girl back."

Wang Bo suddenly became interested and asked: "Mr. Zhou, have you not picked up a few foreign girls in the United States?"

Zhou Zhengyu said proudly: "There are so many, and I have changed several times. The five permanent members of the United Nations have all lived together. Let me tell you, I also soaked in black pearls. The skin is not particularly dark, it is smoother and silkier. Needless to say, the figure is just a little heavy."

"Huh!" Everyone had a very tacit understanding and moved the stool away and took a step back.

Wang Bo said to Nie Jun: "Yesterday Zhou Zhengyu took you to the hospital, so you should accompany him to have a blood test and check AIDS or something."

Nie Jun shouted directly: "Boss, add another set of public chopsticks!"

"Go roll!" Zhou Zhengyu was furious.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

There was another burst of laughter in the courtyard.

The store has started serving. An old man in his 80s came out with a crutch and introduced: "This dish is a bacon in Beijing, one of the traditional palace representative dishes. It is cooked with fine pork belly, sugar, salt, cooking wine, and secret seasonings. It dyes bright colors with red cabbage heads, and finally smokes it with jasmine tea, brown sugar and peanut skin to taste. Guests please try it to see if the bacon is in the taste."

Wang Bo reacted the fastest and stood up to support the other party: "Sir, please sit down, don't stand."

"You are guests, I'll just stand." The old man waved his hand and smiled, and he didn't even persuade him to sit down.

Song Weiyang asked: "Sir, live a long life?"

The old man said: "This year, it's 80."

"Then you have a strong body." Song Weiyang said.

"Eat well, sleep well, and your health will naturally be better," the old man handed out a few business cards. "If guests feel it fits the taste, then welcome to come again next time."

The old man was a little interesting, obviously he had recognized Song Weiyang. There was also a photo wall in the main hall, and there were more than ten photos of the old man with Chinese and foreign leaders, as well as Bill Gates, Jin Yong and other domestic and foreign celebrities.

The old man himself also has rich life experience. Before liberation, he studied chemistry at Fu Ren University, studied aeronautics engineering at Beiyang University, and after liberation, he transferred to Peking University to study architecture. When Peking University and Tsinghua University adjusted the department of architecture, he transferred to Tsinghua University to study under Liang Sicheng. However, when he was a teacher in college, he first taught basic chemistry and analytical chemistry. When he retired, he was a professor of applied mathematics at Capital University of Economics and Trade.

The old man's grandfather was the governor of the former Qing Dynasty's Interior Affairs Office, and was responsible for the meals of Cixi and the emperor. The recipes in this small shop were all the original palace recipes.

"Grandpa, I'm here to see you!" A beautiful little girl of fourteen or fifteen years rushed in.

The old man immediately said goodbye with a smile and went to the inner room with his granddaughter to chat. If the butterfly effect did not occur, the girl's future husband would be the magician who "witnessed the miracle moment".

"There is jade tofu!"

Soon, my sister-in-law came out with the dishes and introduced: "This jade tofu is not made of tofu, and the ingredients used are green beans. Although it looks ordinary, it needs to be fried repeatedly for 30 minutes. It is just right to control fire and oil. If there is a little mistake, it will taste the same. Guests please try it!"

When each dish was served, the little girl would introduce it in detail, and finally went to the inner room with a smile.

Zhou Zhengyu shouted: "It's all authentic court dishes. I'll treat you this time. I told you that I ordered the meal more than 20 days in advance and almost didn't order it. Someone canceled the order, so he only counted it for me, otherwise I wouldn't have such a blessing today."

"Yes," Wang Bo gave a thumbs up, "I heard that there is a heavenly world in the capital, and that is the first place to go. Lao Zhou, if you invite the heavenly world again tonight, I will call you brother in the future!"

Peng Shengli gnawed the bacon and pointed at Wang Bo and joked: "Typical corrupt elements, don't tell others that I know you!"

Wang Bo sighed: "I will never have the chance to be corrupt in the future. My buddy signed up to go to the western region and had to stay in remote areas for several years before I could come back."

"What's the situation?" Song Weiyang asked.

"Didn't the country implement the strategy of developing the western region?" Wang Bo explained, "There are tasks in the regiment that encourage young cadres to go to the western region to support construction. My current work is really boring, and I signed up as soon as my mind is hot. My girlfriend knew that she had a big argument with me several times in the future. It seems that she would break up. Alas, I regret and be glad now, I regret that I was too impulsive, and I was glad to see the true face of the woman. It's really, fortunately, I'm not married, and I'm afraid now."

Li Yaolin asked: "Where are you going?"

Wang Bo shook his head and said, "I don't know, I have to wait for the notification from the superiors."

Song Weiyang said: "Yes, it's time to make a breakthrough while you are young and accumulate more life experience."

Wang Bo smiled and said, "Let me think about it. I am a regular student in Shenghai now and a famous university student. After going to old, young, and poor areas, I should give me a deputy county magistrate. At that time, I have to ask our boss Song to attract investment and other things so that I can quickly send me back to the flower world of big cities."
