Siheyuan: Traveling through Cai Quanwu, pretending to be Uncle Shazhu

After the materials were complete, Sister Zhou immediately started the process for Shazhu Xiaowu.

Sister Zhou was very efficient at work. In less than five minutes, she handed two marriage certificates with their names on them to Sha Zhu and Xiao Wu respectively.

"Take it, comrades. I wish you a happy life in the future."

After handing the marriage certificate to the two, Ms. Zhou, a staff member, smiled and blessed them.

"Thank you."

After expressing their gratitude, Sha Zhu and Xiao Wu walked out of the neighborhood office in a daze, holding their marriage certificate.

"Xiaoqing, we are married."

After leaving the street office, Sha Zhu shouted excitedly.

Sha Zhu's voice was so loud that people passing by looked at him sideways when they heard it.

"Uh-huh."

Xiao Wu was equally excited. He touched the marriage certificate and nodded continuously.

Then, Sha Zhu's face darkened, and he murmured to himself at the sky with tears in his eyes: "Mom, did you see that? My son has a wife now."

"Okay, Brother Zhuzi, our mother in heaven will definitely bless us if she sees us." Xiao Wu whispered to comfort Sha Zhu.

"I know, I just can't help it." Sha Zhu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes to show that he was fine.

"Okay, Xiaoqing, let's go."

The actions of the two attracted the attention of many passers-by, forcing Sha Zhu and Xiao Wu to leave quickly.

If he stayed any longer, Sha Zhu was afraid that others would mistake him for a psychopath.

"Xiao Qing, it's still early, let's go shopping first, and then go to Lao Mo's for a meal to celebrate."

"I haven't eaten Western food yet. Let's go and try it out."

Sha Zhu was riding his bike and made a suggestion to Xiao Wu who was sitting in the back.

In order to register today, they both took leave in the morning, so naturally they didn't need to go to work.

"Forget it, Lao Mo is too expensive. We still have to make a living in the future, so we should save a little and just eat something casually later."

"Besides, to go to Lao Mo, you need a meal voucher. Do you have one?"

Xiao Wu didn't really want to go to Lao Mo. She had heard that a meal there cost a lot of money.

Ordinary people are reluctant to go even if they have meal coupons. I heard that it costs nearly half a month's salary to go there once.

"Hey, Xiaoqing, I actually have Lao Mo's meal coupon. I brought it with me when I went out today." Sha Zhu said very proudly.

Xiao Wu didn't expect that Sha Zhu gave her a surprise. He actually got a meal voucher for Lao Mo from somewhere.

"Where did you get this meal voucher?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.

"I got it from my uncle." Sha Zhu answered honestly.

This Lao Mo meal ticket was bought by Cai Quanwu when he was buying various tickets on the black market. He didn't know when.

Cai Quanwu didn't notice it at the time, but it was accidentally discovered by Sha Zhu later. Seeing that Sha Zhu was interested in it, Cai Quanwu gave it to Sha Zhu.

Although Cai Quanwu didn't have much money before traveling through time, he went to various Western restaurants when he was dating and going on blind dates.

Every time I go there, I have to have a bowl of instant noodles when I get home.

I am not full and I am not used to the food.

Cai Quanwu had no interest in Western food, so naturally it was a good choice for Sha Zhu.

"Where did uncle get it?"

Xiao Wu was very confused. With Cai Quanwu's status, he shouldn't have such a thing.

But she heard that this thing is not easy to make.

Although Lao Mo's Restaurant printed a lot of these meal coupons and distributed them to various units in the city, those meal coupons were basically in the hands of the unit leaders, and it was not easy for ordinary people to get them.

Take their grain store for example, even those at the director level may not be able to get a position there.

unless……

"It should be from the black market."

"I guess my uncle knows someone in the black market. Every time he goes there, he can get a lot of good stuff back."

Sha Zhu lowered his voice and told Xiao Wu his guess.

Xiao Wu thought, it is true.

Apart from this kind of place, Xiao Wu couldn't think of where else Cai Quanwu could get Lao Mo's meal coupons.

"Brother Zhuzi, it's OK for you to know about this, but you can't tell anyone outside."

Xiao Wu admonished Sha Zhu.

Xiao Wu had already guessed what Sha Zhu said.

Otherwise there is no way to explain where some things come from.

Xiao Wu once suspected that Cai Quan was not involved in black market operations, but later he learned some things from Sha Zhu and dispelled this idea.

How could someone involved in black market operations not go to the black market for half a month or even twenty days?

Of course, Xiao Wu is not averse to these things. In this era, almost every household will go to the black market to buy some things, and her father will occasionally go to the black market to look for some uncommon things.

"Xiaoqing, don't worry, I know the seriousness of the matter. I haven't told anyone about this except you."

Sha Zhu tried to prove with words that he was tight-lipped.

"As long as you know."

Xiao Wu was very satisfied with Sha Zhu's performance. She was really afraid that Sha Zhu was a big mouth and would tell everything to others.

The two chatted along the way as they rode their bikes toward Lao Mo's Restaurant on Xizhimen Outer Street.

Sha Zhu thought about finding a place nearby to play first, and then go eat at dinner time.

After walking around the area, when it was time for dinner, Sha Zhu took Xiao Wu to Lao Mo's Restaurant.

After showing the meal ticket to the security guard, the two entered through the revolving door, walked up the stairs, and entered Lao Mo's room.

Both of them had heard others talk about Lao Mo's luxury, but they were still deeply shocked after entering.

The seven-meter-high roof, the gorgeous gilded chandelier, and the four large bronze pillars standing in the center like a backbone give people a high-end and classy feeling.

A waiter wearing a black "Brahmi" dress and a pure white apron stood beside the table, which was covered with a light yellow tablecloth and placed with tall glasses and dark red square napkins.

The whole restaurant was gorgeous, noble, simple and solemn. The two of them were like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and found everything they saw new and interesting.

Led by the waiter, the two sat down at the dining table, and then ordered some of Lao Mo's signature dishes under their guidance: braised beef, steak, goose liver, pickles and beetroot soup, which was a combination of meat and vegetables.

After ordering the dishes, the two of them had time to look around at the guests eating.

Many of the guests are not ordinary people just by looking at their temperament, and there are also many foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes.

The two of them were secretly amazed.

After the waiter brought all the dishes, the two looked at each other and began to eat carefully.

The two of them didn't say a word throughout the meal. They finished the meal tremblingly, paid the bill and left.

After leaving Lao Mo, Xiao Wu took a deep breath and said with a sigh:

"I will never come here again, even if you kill me. This is not the place we should come to."

"It's so expensive to eat a meal, but I can't even breathe a word. It's so frustrating."

Don’t be fooled by the timid look of Shazhu in Lao Mo. He becomes the king of big talk after coming out.

"Well, just come here to try something new. I think the food inside tastes just average, just a little oily."

Listening to Sha Zhu's pretentious words, Xiao Wu rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "I don't know who was so nervous that he almost couldn't hold the knife and fork."

Hearing this, Sha Zhu's face turned dark. This was really a case of bringing up something that was not relevant.

"How could I be nervous? I'm just used to using chopsticks, and it's my first time using a knife and fork, and I'm not used to it." Sha Zhu tried to argue.

"Okay, stop making excuses for me. I'm not blind."

"But, Brother Zhuzi, you are right. Just come here to try something new. No normal family can afford to eat here. One meal costs half a month's salary."

Xiao Wu’s first impression of Lao Mo now is that he is expensive.

"Okay, let's stop talking. We've already eaten. Even if you want to come again in the future, you still need a meal voucher. Otherwise, they won't let you come."

"I'll take you back to work first, and then I'll come to your house to find you after get off work."

Sha Zhu didn't want to discuss with Xiao Wu any further. It was meaningless. You couldn't come here just because you had money.

After hearing what Sha Zhu said, Xiao Wu stopped talking and said directly:

"Okay, let's go then."
