Coquettish Rebirth

After returning from Office 712, Jia Hongjian stayed at home for two days to rest, and then he planned to go to the capital.It had been several months since Jia Hongjian had visited Ye Jing's house, and this time Jia Hongjian happened to have something to go to the capital, so he might as well go to Ye Jing's house.

After arriving in the capital, Ye Jing came to pick up Jia Hongjian.After receiving Jia Hongjian, the beautiful girl quickly drove the car to share her schedule with Jia Hongjian, "First of all, let's go home first, let you take a bath and have a meal, and then you can take a nap." Three or four hours, and then we go to my house for dinner, how about it, no problem?"

"Is the food ready at home?" Jia Hongjian asked curiously, he wondered if this young lady cooked a table of meals herself?In the end, I heard the eldest lady reply, "Ah? No, I thought it would be troublesome to make it at home, and I had to wash it. I thought I could take you out to eat. Do you want to eat it at home? If you really want to eat it, I will eat it." Go buy something to cook."

How could it be possible for Jia Hongjian to be so sympathetic to the young lady so hard?So he waved his hand and said, "No need, let's just find a snack bar outside. For example, if we get that small shop in Northeast China, can we go to one to eat!" That's right, Jia Hongjian this time Come, one of the most important reasons is actually to see how the effect of this laid-off worker support plan in China is.After hearing what Jia Hongjian said, Miss Ye Jing suddenly became interested.She had heard Jia Hongjian talk about this plan before, but she was also very interested in what the plan was like!

Ever since.This side decided to do it, and the two returned to their small nest quickly. After putting away their things, Jia Hongjian didn't care about taking a bath, so he directly called the executor of the laid-off workers support plan. Xiao Zhang called.After getting the address of a nearby small shop from Xiao Zhang, Jia Hongjian and Ye Jing walked over directly.Soon, they came to the entrance of a "Kandong Snack" shop opened in a courtyard in the alley next to Jingshan Park. [

This "Kandong Snack" is naturally the name of Jia Hongjian's laid-off worker support plan.The decoration of this store, when you look at it from outside the door, is a bit similar to the Shaxian snacks of later generations, and they are all based on red.This is the scientific truth from color psychology - red and yellow are relatively more exciting.The colors suitable for the catering industry are yellow and red. Therefore, the main color of this store is red, and the auxiliary color is yellow.therefore.Under the combination of red and yellow.The storefront of this Kanto snack looks from the outside.That's really more festive and recruiting than the snack bars of this era!

Immediately after entering the restaurant, a middle-aged woman in her 30s and almost 40s greeted her, "Dinner? What do you want?" The proprietress asked with a friendly Northeast accent. "Let me take a look..." Jia Hongjian took a look. "Let's share fried noodles, another pot of meat, ten fresh skewers, very spicy, and another plate of Northeast Lapi, um, and fresh Xian cold noodles. That's all right, let's have these for now. "

Listening to what Jia Hongjian ordered, the proprietress put on an apron at that time, and then started to make things neatly.I saw the old lady in the kitchen took out a small sealed fresh-keeping bag, then cut it open and poured something into the pot, and then two or three minutes later, a plate of pot-wrapped meat was served.After the pot of meat buns arrived, Jia Hongjian took a look at it, then tasted it, and had to say that the taste of this stuff was a bit worse than Chef Zhang's.It’s a bit like the kind of microwave bento bought in convenience stores like Haode and Lawson in later generations. The meat is rotten enough, and the taste is good enough, but compared to the freshly cooked stuff Dong, it's still a little unclear, it's a little bit worse, maybe, the difference is the "fresh" energy.

In any case, these things are all heated and stewed in large steel tanks with a height of three or four meters similar to industrialization. Perfect.

Eating such food, as Jia Hongjian who worked hard in his previous life, it is definitely not difficult to eat, and it can even be regarded as delicious.He began to eat while snoring, and his eating posture was as if he hadn't eaten for several days—he didn't talk to Ye Jing when he was eating, and he just focused on eating seriously. Li took a bite as soon as he swallowed it.

After Xili Hulu had eaten almost everything, Jia Hongjian was full, and Ye Jing had only eaten half of Ye Jing's cold noodles!Just as Jia Hongjian was waiting for Ye Jing, another middle-aged man came into the store.The middle-aged man was wearing glasses, a woolen coat, and a briefcase, which looked like he was in an institution.After the middle-aged man came in, he just sat down when he heard the greeting from the proprietress, "You're here? Yo! Today is half an hour later than usual. Why, the Forbidden City is busy today?"

"Isn't it? The working group from above came to inspect again, patriotic health inspection. They have inspected and were taken by our leaders to inspect the quality of food and beverages in the big restaurants around the Forbidden City. We, middle-level cadres, have no choice but to follow. Have you taken care of yourself? What are you going to eat...give me two dumplings, sauerkraut and pork..." said the middle-aged man with glasses.

At this moment, Ye Jing didn't pay attention to the situation beside her at all, she was eating her cold noodles hard, while Jia Hongjian was looking at the middle-aged man with great interest at this time - as a catering company The boss, for this kind of consumers who come across by chance, of course, you should pay attention to their situation!This is market research!

Soon, the proprietress brought up two plates of dumplings.Then the middle-aged man made soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and chili, and then he added soy sauce and vinegar seasoning, and then dipped the dumplings in big mouthfuls and ate them. After 20 minutes, the middle-aged man was still eating. I asked the proprietress for a bowl of dumpling soup, and came to turn the original soup into the original food.To be honest, after seeing this, Jia Hongjian really didn’t understand why some people like dumpling soup—this dumpling soup is just the water for cooking dumplings, and after boiling in a traditional iron pot, the water is poured out to drink. Seriously, it smells like washing pot water!Even the water smells like iron!If Jia Hongjian were to choose, he would rather not drink dumpling soup with water, but I guess this habit of drinking dumpling soup is because he was relatively poor in the past, and eating dumplings was only during the Chinese New Year. Water is not easy, and there are no thermos bottles, so they drink dumpling soup as hot water?

At this time, Ye Jing had almost finished eating. After Jia Hongjian paid the money, he saw that the middle-aged man over there had also finished eating, paid and prepared to leave.After Jia Hongjian gave Ye Jing a good look, he followed the middle-aged man out of the northeast snack bar.After walking a few steps, Jia Hongjian stepped forward and stopped the middle-aged man: "Master, I just heard in the store that you are a staff member of the Forbidden City?"

"Ang, what's the matter with you?" The middle-aged man looked Jia Hongjian up and down warily. "It's like this, Master, we two came from other places. Don't you want to take a tour in the Forbidden City? I want to go to the Forbidden City with you. Do you think so? This saves us from looking for it on the map, doesn't it?"

I have to say that the common people in the north are very enthusiastic. When the middle-aged man heard this, he nodded happily, "Sure, you can follow me, but let me tell you, I will start from The north gate of the Forbidden City, that is, the back gate, is the passageway for our staff. You are not allowed to enter. You have to enter through the main gate. But when you get to the back gate, I will guide you to the bus platform, and you can just make one or two stops I can arrive..."

This is the enthusiasm of the people in the north. If it is placed in the south, there will be no such enthusiasm. Many young people from the north who come to Shanghai and other cities to work hard always feel that many people in Shanghai are xenophobic. In fact, from Jia Hongjian's point of view, that's really not the case!Not to mention other people, even Jia Hongjian often asks for directions, and people still ignore them. In the eyes of Shanghai people, it means giving directions for free and not making money. I have no benefit at all. , it would be nice to show you the way, you still expect me to serve you tea with three kowtows and nine obeisances?As for when asking for directions, the passer-by speaks Mandarin, and the result is that the guide who speaks Shanghainese still ignores it. It cannot be said 100%, but at least 80% of the time, it is because the uncles and aunts over 4050 years old. I really can't speak Mandarin!In other words, Jia Hongjian's parents went to other places as educated youths and went to the countryside!Those who have never been to the countryside have never encountered a scene where they need to use Mandarin in decades since they were young. Speaking Mandarin with others is like speaking English with others. At that time, many sounds cannot be remembered. What can I do if I pretend to be Shanghai dialect?

Not to mention anything else, even Jia Jingxing's parents are stuttering in Mandarin, which is far less fluent than Shanghainese.This is the beginning of the generation of Jia Hongjian and Jia Jingxing, when Mandarin became standard, and even influenced by Mandarin, Shanghai dialect often changed its taste, and many times, Shanghai dialect was even pretended to be. It's the same as speaking Mandarin mixed with English, but now speaking Shanghainese mixed with Mandarin!

Of course, this is not to say that the northern students are overly sensitive. People in the northern part of the country have different folk customs. If you ask the road uncles and aunts, they will all come to join in the fun. It really makes people feel very warm. The northern students feel that they have been treated coldly. That's also understandable.However, Jia Hongjian never complained that he went to the capital to ask for directions. As a result, many enthusiastic uncles and aunts were warm and warm, but they pointed in the wrong direction, okay!

Having said that, here Jia Hongjian and Ye Jing followed the middle-aged man to the Forbidden City. Of course, they didn't want to really visit the Forbidden City, but they wanted to have a chance to chat with the middle-aged man. Opportunity to do market research and consumer feedback!

"Master, do you usually come to this restaurant to eat?" Jia Hongjian inadvertently started the questionnaire... (to be continued...)
