Chapter 820 Finally Home

The next day, Han Li finished stretching his muscles in the room and washed himself.

He picked up a book and read it while waiting for the Hou family to come over, intending to leave after saying hello.

But Han Li didn't expect that Hou Xiujuan and her elder brother would not let him leave after taking him to breakfast. They also said that the last time Han Li came, their family was distracted by the children's affairs and did not fulfill their hospitality at all. They were very sorry.

This time, they would take Han Li to stroll around Chuncheng and taste the specialties of Chuncheng. If Han Li left like this, others would say that their family was not a good person.

And they said that they had greeted the hotel early in the morning and asked them to reserve all the food, which was definitely not available in other places. And so on.

In the end, Han Li was dragged by Brother Hou to visit Chuncheng for a day. This time, there was not only a car for the whole journey, but also a guide to explain to him the history, background, and current use of some buildings. This was much better than the last time Han Li visited alone and took a quick look.

Moreover, this elder brother Hou is also a reporter of Chuncheng Newspaper. Last time, Han Li could not go to many places. This time, under his guidance, he enjoyed them well.

For example, the original "Shuntian Street" was the location of the four ministries, one court, and one government office of the puppet Manchurian Empire.

Even though these buildings have been used by various units for many years, they can still show the ambitions of the little red dot and the puppet Manchurian Empire.

After visiting "Changying", which is known as the cradle of national film, Han Li saw the actor stills when filming "White Haired Girl", "Iron Warrior", "Dong Cunrui", "Heroic Sisters of the Grassland".

At lunch, Hou Xiujuan and her family took Han Li to eat the Manchu Eight Bowls.

It is said that the Manchu Eight Bowls are dishes in the Manchu-Han Banquet, which has the upper eight treasures, the middle eight treasures, and the lower eight treasures.

Among them, the Manchu Eight Bowls belong to the lower eight treasures, but they are divided into coarse and fine eight bowls.

However, due to the too hasty preparation time, they ate both coarse and fine eight bowls today.

Fried fish slices, braised shrimp, sweet-scented osmanthus fish bones, sea cucumber meatballs, whole egg custard and crab roe, loose meat, chicken and mushroom powder, and stewed frog in a bowl.

All these dishes were served in large bowls, which looked generous and delicious.

After eating and drinking, they came to the Puppet Manchuria Imperial Palace Museum. This time, they didn't have to pay for tickets, and there were many more places to visit.

When Han Li was waiting for his elder brother to take him to a place he hadn't been to last time, he subconsciously stretched out his mental power, hoping to gain something, but he didn't find anything along the way.

But when Han Li stepped into the so-called Qinzheng Hall, his mental power groped and captured two round beads. Han Li was very familiar with this kind of thing, and each one represented a language.

These two beads were "Burmese" and "Manchu", and Han Li was stunned when he saw the two language beads.

According to the previous discovery of this kind of thing, under normal circumstances, only when a person dies will there be an extremely small chance of staying.

After all, this place was the former palace of the puppet Manchukuo Empire. It was normal for those who came here to attend court to be killed. It was not uncommon for people who were proficient in Manchu language to appear, but what about Burmese? Could it be that Puyi dared to kill diplomats from other countries at that time? He was too bold, wasn't he?

But Han Li thought about it carefully and understood that when the puppet Manchukuo Empire was established, it seemed that some puppet countries and occupied countries recognized its existence.

Among these countries was Burma. At that time, they were all puppet countries of the little red dot, just like the puppet Manchukuo Empire.

Let alone let them recognize each other's existence, even if they let them... It's no problem, but it's still impossible to kill each other's diplomats.

Then the Burmese who died here and left behind the jade beads proficient in the language must have been deliberately killed by the little red dot here for the puppet Manchukuo Empire to see. What's the purpose? It's nothing more than killing the chicken to scare the monkey, to warn and deter these lackeys.

Han Li put the two jade beads into the decomposition space while thinking, and chose to accept the language contained in the two round beads after returning to the car.

Not long after, Han Li's mouth slightly raised a faint smile. Although these two languages ​​are useless, he is still happy to be proficient in these languages ​​for free.

Han Li currently knows five languages: English, Little Red Dot Language, Mongolian, Russian, and Burmese.

Manchu, a domestic language, can only be considered half, because its current audience is too small. Especially outside the Northeast, it is basically useless.

At present, even in Beiguo Chuncheng and Sijiucheng, the two largest bases of the Manchus, not many people can speak Manchu.

Finally, Brother Hou took Han Li to the zoo and botanical garden here and looked at the largest Clivia flower cultivation base at that time.

There is nothing good to see here, but there are still some Clivias with strong vitality scattered around. Han Li also secretly collected some and put them in his vast peach garden.

In the evening, all the members of the Hou family were present. They accompanied Han Li to eat the most famous pork shank bones in Beiguo Chuncheng.

This dish uses pork shanks with large pieces of meat on them. They are first marinated with soy sauce, sugar, peppercorns, cinnamon and other seasonings, then cooked over high heat and then simmered over low heat until the bones are soft, the meat is fragrant and the sauce is rich.

Hou Xiujuan's elder brother greeted people in the morning, and he could not eat it until the evening. It took a long time to stew and simmer, and it felt really good when people took a bite.

It is said that this dish originated from the period when the "Little Red Dot" occupied this place. The dwarfs only ate meat in the early days, but in the later period, when all kinds of meat were in short supply, they turned their attention to bones.

The atmosphere at the table was quite good. After five dishes and three rounds of wine, Han Li once again thanked the Hou family for their hospitality when it was about to end, and said that he wanted to leave tomorrow.

This time, Hou Xiujuan and the other people in the Hou family did not keep him too much. It was decided that after breakfast tomorrow, Hou's elder brother and Hou Xiujuan would send Han Li to the train station together.

The next day, when Han Li got on the train again, in addition to the four large travel bags and a bulging snakeskin bag given by Aunt Liu, he had three more large travel bags in his hands.

In addition to the candies, elm dried tofu, and red shale millet from Lao Maosheng, there are also many "Dingfengzhen" cakes and "Zhen Bu Tong" pickles.

It is said that Dingfengzhen was founded in 1911, and the public-private joint venture "Dingfengzhen" food store was established in 1957.

With the help of the state, semi-mechanized production has been achieved. Although the annual output has reached more than 1,100 tons, it is still difficult to meet the market demand. Even if ordinary people have tickets, they have to queue for several days to buy this big bag of cakes.

As for "Zhen Bu Tong" pickles, there are various meats such as pork belly, braised meat, smoked meat, barbecued pork, amomum elbow, smoked tripe, braised chicken, roast chicken, scallion smoked yellow croaker, smoked beef jerky, etc. The fat meat is not greasy, the lean meat is not dry, the color is shiny, and the taste is delicious and palatable, which is deeply loved by everyone.

The most important process of "Zhen Bu Tong" pickles is the sauce. Its special sauce can keep these meats for a long time in a room temperature environment below 30 degrees Celsius without deterioration.

This also makes "Zhen Bu Tong" pickles and "Ding Feng Zhen" pastries a must-have for locals to visit relatives and friends. Even those who come here on business trips will buy some back for their families to taste if they know about it.

Ding Si Year. Guichou Month. Jia Wu Day, February 1st of the Gregorian calendar, 24th of the twelfth lunar month.

After Han Li left the Northern Spring City, he listened to the clanging of the train for more than a day. At 2:30 this afternoon, he finally set foot on the land of Sijiu City again.

After the train slowly arrived at the station and stopped steadily, everyone else was anxious to get off. Han Li waited until everyone in his sleeper car walked out, and then took out a wooden stick and a ball of rope from the decomposition space.

Seven large travel bags and a bulging snakeskin bag were tied to the ends of the wooden stick used as a shoulder pole. It felt a little heavy in the front when he picked it up. He took out a bag of mountain products from the decomposition space and tied it to it. After finding the right balance, he got off the train.

Maybe it was because he didn't have to leave again after coming back this time, so Han Li felt very different here. Even the dust and coal dust that he usually hated when walking on the street became much more pleasing to the eye.

No one knew when Han Li would come back. It would take at most 20 minutes to take a shortcut from Xizhimen Station to Mianhua Hutong, so he didn't impress anyone and just carried these things on a stick and walked towards home step by step.

"Hello, uncle."

"Han Li, you're back. I heard you got into Yan University this time?"

"Lucky, lucky."

"You're just talking nonsense to me. Your elder sister, second sister, younger sister, and your mother's two adopted daughters all got in this time. You're telling me it's lucky?"

"Hehe. This may have something to do with the atmosphere of reading and studying in my family."

"Hello, uncle."

"The boy from the Han family is back. Your family has been amazing recently. All the children in the family got in this time. Great, great. It really makes the men in our alley proud."

"Good luck, good luck."

"Grandma Wang, are you still sewing soles?"

"You are? The son of a wealthy family? Didn't you go to the countryside to join the production team? Are you carrying so many things now? Are you coming back?"

"Back I'm here, and I won't leave anymore."

"It's better not to leave, it's better not to leave. You are the only child in your family. I really don't know what your parents were thinking when they let you, their precious child, go to the countryside to farm."

"Hello, auntie."

"Han Li is back. I heard that you passed the exam and even became the vice president of Yanda University, but you didn't want to do it?"

"I just want to come back to spend more time with my parents and get closer to our neighbors."

"You? I heard that it will take several years to go to school this time. Your family has to support three girls to go to school. How much money will your family waste in these years?"

"We are also responding to the call of the country. As the old saying goes, planting a phoenix tree will attract a phoenix. It's not a bad thing to have a higher degree."

Han Li greeted and walked home, and the aunts and aunties behind him started to grumble.

"Does the old Han family have good feng shui? Not only did all their children pass the exam, but even their adopted daughter passed."

"It's hard to say."

"Tsk, what's the good of going to college? You'll be a stinky old man in the future."

"Jin family, are you crazy? Don't say such nonsense."

At this time, He Mi, Qi Zhaodi and Hou Yuhua were busy at Han Li's house.
