Siheyuan: Pushing Huairu, the Prime Minister admits defeat

Chapter 254: Douzhi explains people's hearts, and the suffering is self-evident

Ji Xiaotao was originally a person of thick nerves, unruly and heroic character. Today, she was completely subdued by the soy milk. After rinsing her mouth with water several times, she still had a bitter face and kept complaining.

Li Weijun is indeed very open-minded about this. There are too many things in the world that are beautiful on the outside but rotten on the inside. It is as difficult as ascending to heaven to want to be consistent in appearance and reality.

But if we look at it from a compromise perspective, with the West Lake vinegar fish as a base, this Laobaijing soy milk doesn't seem so unacceptable.

Li Weijun still has lingering fears about the sensory explosion he had when he first ate West Lake Vinegar Fish in his previous life. It's as if Lao Baijing soy milk is the stench of a hot-tempered man's armpit the next day, mixed with body odor and foot odor.

The fishy taste of West Lake vinegar fish is like eating a freshly caught fish that has not been scaled and has only been sprinkled with a little vinegar. The vinegar tastes like vinegar, and the fish tastes like fish, and each one is difficult for the taste buds to accept.

Ji Xiaotao felt as if her tongue was stung by a scorpion, and was about to pour out the full bowl of soy milk.

Li Weijun took it expressionlessly: "In a year of great disaster, it is not good to waste. And those stewed dishes may not taste as delicious as you think."

Everything has its reason for existence. The reason why douzhi, which tastes so good, has been preserved in the capital is entirely because heroes are made by the times.

In the era of material scarcity, this bowl of stinky soy milk could replenish the protein and various nutrients needed by the human body to the maximum extent, and was especially loved by rickshaw pullers and rickshaw drivers.

I work hard pulling a rickshaw but can hardly save up a few coins. Apart from occasionally eating some delicious snacks, the other thing I eat most often is soy milk.

Speaking of this thing called Dengyanshi, it is as famous as douzhi, and you can imagine how lethal it is. To put it nicely, it is the leftovers from major restaurants, boiled in a bucket. To put it bluntly, it is actually sewage, which is just the leftovers of the guests poured into it.

Place it at the entrance of the hotel, and you can use the chopsticks once for one penny.

Because the soup base was turbid, it didn't care what was inside the wooden barrel. If you scooped it with chopsticks, no matter if you got anything or not, the penny was gone.

If you are lucky, you can catch some meat such as chicken necks. If you are unlucky, it is normal to catch a fish bone.

Since the process of fishing requires one to concentrate with one's eyes wide open and pray carefully in secret, it has earned the name of "staring food".

The reason why these two Beijing delicacies have become indelible in people's memory is simply because material resources were too scarce, and people just made up the names to have fun despite the hardship.

Later, some outsiders mistook it for a local delicacy and came to enjoy it. But after taking a bite, they regretted it so much.

However, it is these seemingly hard-to-swallow things that feed the poor people who were starving during a special period of time.

After finishing the bowl of soy milk, Li Weijun smacked his lips and felt that it was indeed a bit unpalatable. No wonder Ji Xiaotao vomited it out immediately after taking a gulp.

After finishing the meal, Li Weijun looked at Yi Lei who was guarding the jeep and asked in confusion, "Where is Zhang Yunzhen? He is always with me, afraid that I might encounter any safety problems. But today, the sun rose from the west and there was no sign of him."

Not to mention, during this period of time, Zhang Yunzhen wished that there was a guard by his side around the clock with no blind spots. Now that time suddenly disappeared, Li Weijun was more or less unable to adapt.

Yi Lei was currently eating a pancake and some pickled vegetables, and he also looked puzzled as he said, "Brother Zhen, I don't know what's going on. Ever since I went to the steel mill this morning, I've always felt that he was timid, like a tiger seeing a cat. I guess he's hovering around, waiting for an opportunity to act as a secret sentry."

"A tiger seeing a cat? He's a strong man, what is there to be afraid of? Could it be that someone has swallowed him alive?"

Li Weijun couldn't figure out the trick and could only blame it on human laziness. Zhang Yunzhen worked as a security guard intensively all day long, so it would be a good thing for him to relax and have some time to spare.

It was getting dark, so when he saw that he could not get the reason out of him, Li Weijun drove his jeep and prepared to go back to the courtyard to have a rest. He had to report to the track and field team tomorrow to familiarize himself with the content of his work. Although it was only an honorary title of deputy coach of the track and field team, he had to do his job accordingly.

If you miss the first meeting, it will inevitably give people the bad impression that you are spoiled.

However, as soon as the car engine started, Ji Xiaotao sat in the co-pilot seat without any explanation. Li Weijun usually only let Qin Huairu sit in this special seat, and even the guard Zhang Yunzhen could only sit in the back seat.

Seeing Ji Xiaotao sitting in the passenger seat with ease and a look of being a dog-skin plaster, Li Weijun couldn't help but frown and asked in confusion.

"I'm not saying anything bad about Comrade Ji Xiaotao, but a silly girl still knows to run home on a rainy day. It's getting dark, why don't you go home and rest instead of hanging around outside? What if you run into any danger?"

Ji Xiaotao seemed nonchalant. She pouted and explained, "I just arrived here. Although I have a job at the newspaper, and I have my registration certificate, notice letter, and introduction letter in my bag, it's so late, and there is no one from the newspaper to pick me up. You can't just watch me wandering the streets alone."

She said this with such confidence that Li Weijun lost his temper. Now was a particularly sensitive period, and he hadn't dealt with Qin Huairu and Jiang Xifeng properly, so how could he have the mood to interfere with Ji Xiaotao?

Besides, the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, so it is a bit inappropriate for them to be alone. If they were ordinary people, Li Weijun might not care so much.

However, Li Weijun knew Ji Guochun's hot temper well, so he could only keep his distance from the only daughter of Chief of Staff Ji Guochun for the time being.

When a scholar encounters soldiers, it is difficult to clear his mind.

Amid Ji Xiaotao's strong objection, Li Weijun drove the jeep and stopped in front of the state-owned hotel. Looking at the Welcoming Pines lined up in front of the state-owned hotel, Ji Xiaotao looked stubborn and shook her head like a rattle.

"I won't stay in a hotel. I don't have a letter of introduction or ID card, so the hotel won't accept me."

Seeing that Ji Xiaotao was determined to get out of this, Li Weijun sighed helplessly and exposed her mercilessly, "Auntie, didn't you just say that you had your introductory irritability in your bag? How come you are an undocumented person again? Just control your temper and cooperate. You only need to stay in the hotel for one night, and the newspaper will naturally arrange accommodation for you the next day."

Seeing that the lie was useless, Ji Xiaotao denied it flatly and said, "I'm a girl, you don't have to worry about running into bad people, and besides, I'm afraid of being alone and feeling insecure, and I'm even more afraid of thunder. The summer rain is so fast, and it's hot and stuffy. What if it thunders and rains at night? I don't care, I won't stay in a hotel."

"Thunder and rain? You are a girl..."

Thinking about how Xu Damao, a grown man, was beaten black and blue by Ji Xiaotao during the day, Li Weijun felt that this lie was too clumsy.

Which weak little girl could take an overnight flight to the capital without any hesitation, and as soon as she arrived at the steel mill, she made a great name for herself.

With this attitude, if you say Ji Xiaotao is the reincarnation of Cheng Yaojin, Li Weijun will believe it without a doubt. How could such a heroic woman be afraid of the sound of thunder?

However, Ji Xiaotao was determined to stay in the jeep. Due to his status and the venue, Li Weijun could not use force, so he had no choice but to drive Ji Xiaotao back to Nanluoguxiang.

At the same time, I prayed secretly in my heart that in this turbulent time, it would be best not to make trouble out of nothing.

Although I have the ability to win glory for my country and breaking the world record in the 100-meter track and field is a foregone conclusion, I should not be too happy too soon. Before the dust settles, everything is empty talk like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.

Only when he made a stunning debut at the Liben World Games, shocked the whole world, and received many honors, could Li Weijun become truly unbridled and aloof from the world.

At the very least, a person like Ji Guochun would think twice before doing anything.

Otherwise, it is easy to dodge an open attack but hard to guard against a hidden arrow. You never know when you might be caught and you won’t be able to express your suffering in any way.
