Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 27 The regrettable city wall

"Doing business?" Vanilla asked and then shook her head: "I don't know anything."

He Yuzhu was a little surprised, not expecting Xu Huizhen to make this suggestion.

Thinking about her future achievements, it seems that she has the idea of ​​​​doing business at this time.

Xu Huizhen said: "You see, the area near Qianmen is a crowded place. You can just rent a house and sell breakfast."

Vanilla shook her head: "No, I can't do it."

Xu Huizhen didn't want to be a vegetable washer for a long time. After a few days, her hands were swollen and turned white. Besides, one month's salary was too low, so she didn't want to work for a long time.

I was thinking wildly in my mind about whether I could do some business.

Other businesses require a lot of capital, that is, you don't invest much money like making breakfast, and you just earn hard money, but if you do well, it will be much better than being a waiter.

Xu Huizhen said: "I can make meat cakes, pies, pancakes, jujube cakes and crispy horns. I can teach you all these."

The types of snacks Xu Huijun mentioned are traditional Beijing snacks. They are baked products and are relatively easy to sell.

Vanilla said: "Let me think about it, I'm just used to being a waiter."

He Yuzhu said: "If you want to start a small business, I think selling steamed buns is a good idea. I buy a lot of these. After steaming them at home, I take them out in a basket and sell them directly."

Those snacks are a little more complicated to make, not as simple as meat buns.

He Yuzhu has a recipe for steamed buns, but it's not an exclusive recipe. It's just an ordinary recipe. It's not a big deal to teach vanilla.

He Yuyu also said: "My brother's steamed buns are delicious."

"Really?"

Vanilla said with a smile, then put some meat into He Yuyu's mouth and praised her a few words, which made He Yuyu's beautiful eyes turn into crescent moons with laughter.

He Yuzhu was not old enough and did not drink. The four of them were full quickly. When He Yuzhu went to check out, when he asked about the bill, he was paid by Vanilla before eating, so he gave up.

When he got home, He Yuyu was already sleepy. He brought warm water and asked her to wash her face, brush her teeth, change the basin and wash her feet.

After a lot of tossing, He Yuzhu was not sleepy anymore, so he pestered He Yuzhu with questions and coaxed him to sleep for a long time.

The next morning, he agreed with He Yuyu that he would come back a little later in the evening and let her play by herself at home.

He Yuyu raised his little face and asked, "Brother, you can't run away, can you?"

He Yuzhu smiled and said: "Where can I run? Don't worry, I will raise you and marry you off in a glorious way."

The 7-year-old girl already knew what marriage meant, and her face turned red: "I won't get married, I will just follow my brother."

He Yuzhu smiled and sent her to preschool.

When I came to work in Tai Feng Building, Zhang Yong arranged a lot of chores. Fortunately, Wang Song was kind and helped me with them.

When it was time to get off work, He Yuzhu did not go back to the courtyard as usual. Instead, he took the No. [-] bus from Yongdingmen and went all the way to Dongzhimen.

After getting off the bus, passing through Dongzhimen, and arriving outside the city, He Yuzhu suddenly discovered that someone was demolishing the city wall in the distance.

It is obvious that this is an organized and disciplined collective activity. The demolished bricks are piled up in random piles, waiting for the donkey cart or mule cart to pull them.

He Yuzhu suddenly felt like witnessing history.The city walls of the capital have experienced hundreds of years of wind and rain, and experienced the baptism of countless wars. In the end, in order to ensure the integrity of the cultural relics, Mr. Fu was instigated to rebel and the capital was peacefully liberated.

Let the city wall be preserved, but I didn't expect that in just two years, the city wall that had existed for hundreds of years would be sacrificed for the so-called economic development.

In He Yuzhu's view, some key local intersections can be demolished and built gates can be retained, so that most of them can be retained. However, with the one-size-fits-all approach, the city walls that have been built for hundreds of years will soon disappear and cease to exist.

He Yuzhu secretly said a few times that it was a pity, but he was too gentle and did not have the ability to prevent this kind of thing from happening.

Suddenly I remembered that I was going to build a house soon, and I still lacked bricks for two rooms. Should I come over at night, put more bricks into the space, and use all the bricks on the city wall to build a house later?
Anyway, all the bricks demolished by their units were used to build houses. It shouldn't be a big deal if they didn't count the piles and collected some for themselves.

But there is another thing that shocks He Yuzhu right now, that is, there are too many people fishing on both sides of the moat.

Standing on the bridge and looking towards both banks, I saw a man fishing with a fishing rod two or three meters away. There were also many elderly people fishing on the bridge.

He Yuzhu lay on the bridge and watched for a while, and could see people catching fish from time to time.

It's just a little uncomfortable to see this. He Yuzhu heard a lot of rumors when he was a child. Many people died and were thrown into the moat.

As long as you plunge down hard, you can fish out some dead bones from the bottom of the river.

Seeing the kind-hearted old man next to him, he asked: "Master, can the fish in this moat be eaten?"

The old man tilted his head and glanced, then asked with a smile: "Do you think there are still dead people in here?"

"No?" He Yuzhu asked.

"Of course not, it's all the old almanac."

The old man said: "Last year, the government organized people to drain the water in the moat, clean it again, collect all the bones of the dead and bury them together, and then dug out a lot of silt. Now in the moat All the water is brought in from the Yongding River, and of course the fish brought can be eaten."

"Oh, that's right! I said, thank you, uncle." He Yuzhu said politely.

"You're welcome. If you want to fish, just go through the East Gate. There is a shop over there that sells fishing gear." The old man also pointed out the location of the shop.

He Yuzhu thanked him again, but he didn't come here because he wanted to fish. The steel rolling mill is located a few miles away from Dongzhimen.

Dongzhimen is the most convenient way for Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai to enter the city. He Yuzhu, standing on the bridge, can use the space at close range to feel whether they are carrying private goods stolen from the steel mill.

The den where they sell stolen goods is a hardware store not far from Dongzhimen.

If Jia Dongxu is found to have private goods again, then He Yuzhu will kill his relatives and everyone will get the stolen goods.

So He Yuzhu just needs to stay on the bridge for now, and wait until the two of them pass by to find out if there is any problem with them.

It happened that He Yuzhu got off work earlier than the normal time, so when he walked from the restaurant at the front door to the outside of Dongzhimen, Jia Dongxu hadn't gotten off work yet.

He Yuzhu then chatted with the old man and turned on his mental power to observe the situation under the water.

At the beginning, I was a little disgusted with my own space because I couldn't plant and breed. But then I suddenly thought that I have a special ability, that is, I can put all the items within 10 meters into the space.

Although the distance of 10 meters is not much, it is enough to cover the river water under the bridge and scan all the way to the river bed.

The whole shape is a semicircle, and you can clearly feel that there are several fish swimming around in the range. Maybe they are full and have not bitten the hook.
