Siheyuan: I am a big capitalist after the founding of the People's Republic of China

In the parallel universe, during the winter vacation in 1951, the government decided to start demolishing the city walls of Sijiu City for the sake of urban development!

Whether it is ordinary people, scholars, or government officials, everyone in Beijing is talking about this. Some agree, some feel sorry, and some do not support it.

Li Zihang also wanted to buy a camera to keep a memory of the city that had gone through 600 years of ups and downs! So he acted like a spoiled child to the old man and bought him a camera!

The old man enjoyed the fun of his grandson acting like a spoiled child to him. He also agreed with Li Zihang's idea. The old man used his connections to buy a foreign famous brand point-and-shoot camera at the Friendship Store.

Since Li Zihang got this camera, he has left his footprints all over the city during the winter vacation.

At noon! Uncle Qi drove Li Zihang around the city for half a month. One day, he passed by a tavern under Zhengyang Gate and stopped to rest.

Uncle Qi parked his bike and walked into the pub first. Seeing that there were only a few people in the pub, he walked to the bar and asked if anyone was there.

"I'm here! Comrade, what do you need?" At this time, a young woman's voice came from behind the door curtain next to the bar.

Uncle Qi took a look at the visitor and said, "Madam, do you have anything to eat?"

Li Zihang was standing next to the bar at this time, and he also looked up at the young and beautiful proprietress.

The proprietress: "Hello, comrade! This is a tavern! We only sell drinks and some snacks."

Uncle Qi looked at Li Zihang with some embarrassment. He could drink a glass of wine and eat some snacks to fill his stomach. But Li Zihang couldn't do that.

Li Zihang saw Uncle Qi's embarrassment, and then said sympathetically: "It's okay, Uncle Qi, just eat your food. I see there is a Xiaolongbao and wonton shop across the street. Let's ask the boss lady and borrow a bowl to take away and eat here."

Uncle Qi looked at Li Zihang and said, "Okay! I'll do as you say."

When the lady boss heard Li Zihang calling her sister, her eyes smiled into crescents, "Little brother, how old are you and what's your name? You are so handsome! You will definitely charm a bunch of girls in the future."

Li Zihang: "Sister, my surname is Li, Muzi Li, the Zi in Muzi Li and the Hang in Hanging. I am less than 18 years old this year,"

The proprietress looked at the little kid in front of her and said in confusion, "Little boy, I think you are only seven or eight years old at most. How can you be almost eighteen?"

Li Zihang: "Sister! Isn't seven years old not eighteen years old? I was right!"

The lady boss was amused by Li Zihang's words and laughed. "You are indeed under 18. You are such an interesting little kid."

Li Zihang: "What should I call you, sister?"

The proprietress said: "My name is Xu Huizhen, and I am less than 80 years old this year." The proprietress, who has a very low sense of humor, continued to laugh after she said that.

All the male customers in the store were dazzled by Xu Huizhen's charming smile.

Li Zihang said speechlessly: "Sister Xu, I didn't ask you how old you are. What are you laughing at?"

Xu Huizhen laughed for a while and then said, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. What do you want to eat?"

Uncle Qi watched Li Zihang arguing with the young lady boss, making her laugh. He thought to himself, this guy, with his handsome looks, family background, knowledge, and eloquence, will definitely have romantic relationships when he grows up.

When the uncle, who was still thinking about something, heard Xu Huizhen ask what he wanted to eat, he replied, "Two liang, two pot heads, and three side dishes. Oh, by the way, boss lady, can you lend me two large bowls? I'm going to buy wontons across the street."

The proprietress said: "Come on! I'll get you some food and drinks. Please find a place to sit."

Li Zihang, who was sitting at a square table, looked around the pub curiously, while Uncle Qi took two large bowls to the shop opposite to buy wontons and steamed dumplings.

Li Zihang looked at the tavern with the characteristics of the times and had the idea of ​​taking pictures. So he walked around the tavern with a camera, trying to find a good angle.

The few people in the bar were attracted by Li Zihang's behavior of walking around with a camera. They were all whispering to each other.

After walking around, Li Zihang still thought that he could take a panoramic photo of the bar by standing at the door. He adjusted his position and pressed the shutter. At the moment he pressed the shutter, a young man who looked very much like He Daqing walked out of the side door of the bar. This scene was frozen in the film.

After taking the photo, Li Zihang quickly ran to the man who looked like He Daqing and tentatively called out, "Uncle He."

The man who looked like He Daqing looked at Li Zihang expressionlessly: "Young Master, you have the wrong person. My last name is Cai, and my given name is Quanwu. My last name is not He."

Li Zihang replied embarrassedly: "I'm sorry. I got the wrong person. You look too much like a neighbor I know."

Li Zihang chatted with the uncle surnamed Cai for a few more words, then returned to his seat and started eating when his seventh uncle came back.

After eating a few bites of wontons, Li Zihang said unconsciously, "Hey! It tastes like wonton Hou."

At this time, Cai Quanwu, who came over to serve the dishes, put down the dishes and gave Li Zihang a thumbs up with a paralyzed expression.

"Young man, you are really good at talking. The owner of the wonton shop across the street is the nephew of Mr. Hou, the wonton owner. The craftsmanship is passed down from generation to generation."

After listening to Cai Quanwu's words, Li Zihang said, "No wonder. Thank you for clearing up my confusion."

Cai Quanwu: "You're welcome! Please enjoy your meal."

While Li Zihang and Uncle Qi were eating and discussing where to take photos in the afternoon, Xu Huizhen brought another plate of pork skin jelly. Then she sat down and said, "You two, this is your first time visiting our store today. I'll give you a plate of snacks to go with your wine. I hope you'll come to our store often in the future."

Uncle Qi looked at Xu Huizhen who was sitting down and said with an honored expression: "You are so welcome. Just for this dish sent by the boss lady, I will come to support you often."

Xu Huizhen was also a person of temperament. She clasped her fists and said, "Then I would like to thank you in advance."

Then she said to Li Zihang: "Little brother, I see you have a camera, can you take a picture of me? Don't worry, I will pay you."

Li Zihang: "Sister Xu, what are you talking about? Taking a photo is just a piece of cake for me."

Xu Huizhen: "Then I'd like to thank you, brother. You eat first, I'll come find you after you finish eating." After saying that, she left.

A quarter of an hour later, Uncle Qi went to the bar to pay the bill. Xu Huizhen saw that the two had finished their meal. After receiving the money and the change, she asked Li Zihang to take a photo of her.

Xu Huizhen: "Little brother, wait for me. I'll go to the backyard to get the child. You take a picture of us mother and daughter together." After saying that, she walked towards the backyard.

Li Zihang and Uncle Qi looked at each other and saw what the other was thinking. Cai Quanwu, who was sitting next to the bar, also saw what they were thinking and said:

"Madam, my husband had an accident. Now I'm single with a baby." After saying that, she ignored the two people.

Uncle Qi: "Big brother, you and the boss lady are~"

Cai Quanwu: "I am just a slacker, looking for a job here with the boss lady. The boss lady is kind and took me in."

Li Zihang asked Uncle Qi what "瓊脖" means in a low voice, and Uncle Qi explained in a low voice. Before liberation, people were often seen walking briskly with their necks hunched and carrying things on their backs on the streets of the old city. This was for people who were moving or delivering goods for others. This kind of industry was called "瓊脖" or "肩持" in the old city's 72 trades.

After a while, Xu Huizhen came out holding a sleeping baby in a bundle.

Li Zihang asked the proprietress to sit on a bench, and took a photo while holding the child, using the bar counter as the background wall.

After taking the photos, Li Zihang exchanged a few words with Xu Huizhen and said that the photos had been developed and would be sent over. …
