Today, Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu were not squatting at the door. The mother and daughter were both wrapped in quilts and lying on the kang in a daze, staring at each other. The two little brothers walked out the door smoothly.

After they walked out of the door, Xu Damao asked, "Brother Zhuzi, where are we going?"

He Yuzhu said: "I'll take you to a good place. Just follow me. Don't talk too much. Just watch with your eyes."

"Oh!" Xu Damao didn't dare to ask again, but he held He Yuzhu's clothes tightly. Then the two brothers staggered all the way south. On the way, Xu Damao saw more and more people coming. He wanted to ask where they were going several times but didn't dare to ask. His little hand also changed from holding the clothes to being held by He Yuzhu.

There were also children about their age begging on the street with broken bowls in their hands. Xu Damao looked at his own clothes and asked in a low voice, "Brother Zhuzi, are we short of a bowl?"

"Go away, do you really want to be a beggar?" He Yuzhu pulled him and continued walking.

After walking about halfway, Xu Damao pulled He Yuzhu and said, "Brother Zhuzi, I think I've been to this place before. Isn't this Wangfujing?"

"You came before?"

"Yes, I brought my dad here once, and he ate half a roast duck from Quanjude." Xu Damao swallowed his saliva as he said this.

"When I have money in the future, I will bring you here to eat. We can eat a whole one." He Yuzhu patted Xu Damao's little head.
"Really?" Xu Damao was excited.

"How can I, your brother, lie to you? But the prerequisite is that you have to be obedient." He Yuzhu said with a smile.

"Be obedient, I will definitely be obedient. Brother Zhuzi, if you say go east, I will definitely not go west. If you say catch a dog, I will definitely not chase a chicken."

"Who did you learn all this from?"

"hey-hey."

"Okay, there are too many people in front, so please don't talk. We can't get into the big store either. If you want to eat some snacks on the road, just pull my hand."

"Okay." Xu Damao said happily.

When the two brothers entered Wangfujing Street, Xu Damao's eyes were no longer able to look. He had only been out a few times. He had been to this place before, but that was when he could remember things, and he had long forgotten it.

To be honest, He Yuzhu was a little dazzled. Dong'an was full of small stalls and vendors, while this side was full of old brands and foreign companies.

The people on the street are even more diverse, wearing long gowns and top hats, suits and leather shoes, student uniforms, cheongsams and jackets. There is really everything.

Rickshaws shuttled back and forth among the crowd. The drivers were wearing tattered clothes and running hard, with all kinds of passengers sitting on their rickshaws.

The sounds of horse hooves, wheels, shouts, and laughter intertwined together to form a unique symphony.

He Yuzhu calmed himself down and turned his gaze towards Mitsui & Co. He saw it as soon as he came in from the intersection. He inadvertently stayed at the door of the company for a few seconds. Perhaps it was too early and there were not many people coming in or out. Then he pulled Xu Damao and continued walking forward.

He Yuzhu even took a special look at what was opposite Mitsui & Co., and found out it was a teahouse. He planned to walk along this street, and then go into the teahouse if he could after coming back, or just stay on the side and continue observing if he couldn't.

After walking a distance, He Yuzhu felt his hand tighten. It turned out that Xu Damao didn't leave. The boy was staring at a candied haws seller next to him and was almost drooling.

"Want to eat?" He Yuzhu said softly.

"Yeah!" Xu Damao nodded.

"Come on, I'll take you shopping."

"Really?"

"That can't be false."

The two brothers came to the vendor selling candied haws. The vendor looked at their clothes, especially the one wearing Labatai, and frowned.

"Do you two have money? I'm not giving away these candied haws for free." "How much is a bunch?"

"Three big coins in a string."

"Give me two strings, the biggest ones." He Yuzhu pretended to rummage around in his pocket for a long time and took out a silver coin and handed it to the vendor.

"Okay!" As a businessman, there is no business that he doesn't want to do, so the vendor immediately put on a smile.

In fact, there is no biggest one. Each bunch has the same number of hawthorns. The vendor picked out two bunches of larger hawthorns and handed them over, then took out four copper coins in change.

After Xu Damao took it, he couldn't wait to start licking the candy on it, and then showed He Yuzhu a big smile and said, "Brother Zhuzi, it's sweet."

"It's sweet." He Yuzhu bit off a candy ball, which was sour and sweet. In fact, most of the candied haws at that time were made with malt sugar or brown sugar. Anyway, it couldn't be that sweet if it wasn't white sugar. However, the hawthorn was good and very soft.

The two brothers continued strolling while eating candied haws. Xu Damao mostly looked at the food, but he didn't stop and didn't hold He Yuzhu's hand.

He Yuzhu was observing the surrounding environment and how many young people and gangsters there were on the street. There were really no young people patrolling this place during the day, but there were quite a few gangsters in groups of two.

Before they reached the end, they had finished their candied haws. Xu Damao, still unsatisfied, asked, "Brother Zhuzi, can you have another one?"

He Yuzhu shook his head: "Let's eat something else. We can't just eat this one thing when we come out."

"I want to eat fried liver."

"Where is it? Lead the way. I really didn't notice it."

"Hehe, I've seen it a long time ago. Brother Zhuzi, come with me." Xu Damao said with a smile, then took He Yuzhu's hand and walked back.

The stall selling fried liver is also a roadside stall. There is a big pot on the yellow clay stove and two small tables on the side.

"Boss, give me a serving of fried liver." He Yuzhu shouted as he walked to the stall.

"It's a good deal, one silver dime." The boss was busy without even raising his head. He Yuzhu handed over the money, and the young boss realized that it was two children.

When the boss saw that it was an older brother eating with his younger brother, he considerately gave them an extra spoon. The two brothers sat at the square table. Xu Damao did not move first, but waited for He Yuzhu to scoop a spoonful before he started eating.

He Yuzhu tasted it and it was just so-so, still had some fishy smell, probably because of the lack of ingredients. Xu Damao ate it voraciously, because it was meat after all.

Soon, a bowl of fried liver went into Xu Damao's stomach. He then burped. He Yuzhu smiled and asked, "Is it delicious?"

"Delicious, delicious!" The child just ate it for the novelty. This thing was definitely not as delicious as the food at the He family.

"Let's go after we're done eating."

"Okay, Brother Zhuzi!" Xu Damao stood up and patted his full belly.

What they didn't notice was that someone had been following them since He Yuzhu paid for the candied haws. Now that he bought fried liver, there were a few more people following them. Those people thought they were some young master and his henchman in disguise.

When passing by Quanjude, Xu Damao sniffed and paused for a moment. He Yuzhu looked at the sign of Quanjude and shook his head at Xu Damao.

It's not that I can't afford it, it's just too eye-catching. Two children definitely can't go in to eat. No one will let them in dressed like that. If I pack it up, I'm just waiting to be noticed.

The person who was following them saw this scene clearly and thought to himself, "These are two fat sheep. Can Quanjude afford them?"
