Chapter 36 Beijing
After getting off the plane, I took a taxi directly to the hotel. I haven't returned to Beijing for a long time. I was shocked by the air condition outside the airport as soon as I got out of the airport.Attorney Mi stretched out his hand in front of his eyes in confusion, and asked me innocently: "Is it my eyesight? Why do you feel that your vision is blurred?"
The corner of my mouth twitched: "It's not dizziness, it's just the poor and bad air conditions in Beijing"
Looking at the dark smog outside, the weather was gloomy and gloomy.My heart skipped a beat, and I felt sorry that Beijing was no longer what I remembered when I was a child after staying in the United States for too long.
Grandpa was really willing to spend money and booked a four-star hotel for us. The subway station is downstairs, so it is very convenient to go out.The two of them simply tidied up and looked at their watches. It was almost dinner time.Attorney Mi clamored to eat Beijing specialties, the well-known Beijing roast duck all over the world. I suddenly wanted to eat Ma Xiao, so I fooled him: "Let's not eat roast duck today, I will take you to eat spicy crayfish, which is also a famous dish in Beijing. feature"
Uncle stared round his eyes and asked, "Are there any smaller lobsters?"
"Yes, I'll take you to eat, it's as big as a palm"
Lawyer Mi had never seen a lobster the size of a palm, so he was very curious and immediately agreed.I am slightly allergic to seafood, so I took two allergy medicines before eating to prevent it.I used Baidu to search for a highly rated one, with more than 1000 messages, but it was a bit far away, and I had to take the subway twice.He took his wallet and took Lawyer Mi straight to the subway station downstairs.Before returning to Beijing, my grandma took me to download several apps, and even saved a map of the Beijing subway line in my phone.
It's exactly 5,6 or [-] o'clock now, and it's the rush hour for commuting. The people in the subway station are so confused, everyone is rushing home, scrambling to rush forward.I bought two tickets, swiped my card to enter the station, held my uncle's hand tightly, and warned him not to let go, it would be a big trouble if he got lost.When the subway came, a large group of people rushed to the door and pushed each other. My uncle and I were also pushed forward. Lawyer Mi was distracted and didn't pay attention.This hit was quite hard, and my uncle was stunned, and it took a long time to hold his forehead and cry out the pain.I pulled his hand away to check, but luckily it didn't break, it was just a little red.An old man next to him looked at it, and also teased him: "Hey, this tall guy, it's the first time I saw someone taller than the door, does it hurt?"
I smiled at him without saying a word.
Attorney Mi rubbed his forehead and huddled by the door, complaining aggrievedly: "Why do the doors in China are built so low!"
An Jing touched his arm and smoothed his hair. It's really not that the Chinese gate is built low, it's because you are so tall.
After half an hour squeezed in the sardine-like carriage, we arrived at our destination with difficulty.Uncle still had lingering fears after getting out of the subway: "The subway in Beijing is like this every day? How easy it is to cause accidents if it is so crowded." Go to Fuxingmen, and let you see what a real hell on earth is.”
When we arrived at the store, there was just one table left. If we were lucky, we could eat right away without having to wait for a table.Uncle looked squarely at the menu, which was all in Chinese, and waited eagerly for me to order.At the beginning, I only ordered 2 catties of crayfish, which were put in plastic bags and served in stainless steel basins.Uncle held the bag in silence, and looked at the waiter walking away with tangled eyes: "This is a black shop, why did she serve us a basin of garbage?"
"..."
Open the plastic bag to reveal the glowing red shrimp inside, lift two and put them in the uncle's bowl: "This is Ma Xiao, here, eat it"
Lawyer Mi was curiously picking at the shrimps in the bowl. He stretched out his big paws and fiddled for a long time without picking up any of them. Demonstrate"
The little girl is very experienced, with dexterous fingers, she peeled a whole shrimp in twos and twos, and the uncle watched it intently, and shouted magically, "OMG, youareamazing!", which made the little girl blush with embarrassment.
After being able to peel the shrimp, Lawyer Mi tasted the delicacy of Ma Xiao in an instant. He couldn't stop talking when he was yelled at by the spicy food. I haven't eaten it for a long time.The two catties of crayfish were finished in a short while, and another four catties were added, and I ordered fried noodles, grilled skewers, rice, couple's lung slices and other side dishes and beer.
My uncle is tall and big. After learning how to peel shrimp, he eats very quickly. After peeling one, a mouthful of rice, and a shrimp, if there is still room in his mouth, add another skewer, which will make everyone around look sideways. .The little girl from the previous waiter came up to talk to her, but she stopped when she walked to the table. After struggling for a long time, she came up and asked, "That...excuse me, can you speak Chinese?"
I swallowed the food in my mouth: "Of course, I'm from Beijing"
The little girl smiled and said, "Are you from Beijing? I thought you were Korean or Japanese."
Lawyer Mi quickly peeled a bowl of shrimp, and pushed it in front of me like offering a treasure, "Asher, eat quickly, this shrimp is so delicious, let's make it ourselves and eat it when we go back."
I was in a hurry to eat just now, and I was a little overwhelmed, so I pushed the bowl back: "You eat, I'll take a break first"
He happily took the bowl back, grabbed the shrimp and ate it up in a few bites.The little girl kept looking at Lawyer Mi, and quietly asked, "Is he a foreigner? I think you two speak English, are you American?"
"Yeah, Americans"
"It's the first time I saw such a tall person. I was shocked when he came in just now. It's too tall."
After chatting with my little sister, Lawyer Mi peeled another bowl of shrimps, held two and handed them to my mouth: "This is big, ah, open your mouth"
Habitually opened his mouth to bite, and yelled back at him with the shrimp in his mouth: "Didn't I say to rest for a while? You eat by yourself"
"This one is big, hey, I just want to eat it for you."
Lawyer Mi saw that there was soup on my chin, so he picked up a paper towel and wiped it off, rubbing and rubbing the tip of my chin with his fingers.Our intimate behavior obviously made the little girl's face stiff, and a guest asked for more water, she immediately responded, took the opportunity to leave, turned around and walked away with the water jug.
I chewed on the shrimp and looked indifferently at the fleeing figure of my little sister, then turned my head and said to my uncle, "Peel me another one."
Lawyer Mi immediately picked out the big one, twisted it with two fingers, and the meat shell was easily separated, and a large lump of pink and tender shrimp meat was handed to his mouth.
The fighting strength of the two was very good. After nearly an hour and a half of a meal, Lawyer Guangmi killed six catties of crayfish and more than 20 skewers, which were full of two large pots of shells and sticks.After the meal, I took Lawyer Mi to press the road, and experienced the old Beijing style in a thick smog.The two of them walked to Sanlitun.Sanlitun is where embassies and nightclubs are stationed. There are many foreigners, and it is even more lively at night, with a large crowd gathered.I checked the map and found that there was a big Uniqlo in front of me, thinking that I could just buy a few pairs of underwear.Just crossing the road, a man with a camera reached out to stop my uncle, and talked to him: "Hello, can I take a picture?"
Lawyer Mi, whose Chinese ability is 0.5, froze in place, turning his head to look at me with question marks in his head.I went up and waved my hand to explain: "No, thank you."
But the man didn't give up, and kept following: "Just one photo, I don't need your money, I took street photos for magazines"
Translated the words to Uncle, and heard that it was a street photo shoot, Lawyer Mi's enthusiasm for being a model before was on fire again, without further ado, he nodded in agreement, and then quickly posed in his pocket with the cool and domineering president Action, the man held the camera and kept changing the angles to take several pictures. After the shooting, he took out his business card and handed it over: "Your foreign friend has a good figure, long legs, and an inverted triangle. If anyone wants to be a model I can recommend a good company to him.”
After finishing speaking, he winked at his uncle, that virtue... at first glance, he is a gay.My face turned black from the winking eyes.Lawyer La Guomi turned around and left, almost yelling: Uncle Nima, you are simply a humanoid GPS that attracts good gays in China?A lot can be scanned anywhere.Afterwards, countless people kept giving my uncle small cards along the way, pulling me and asking, "Is this foreigner your friend? Can you ask me if he wants to be a model? He's really tall."
I rejected all of them one by one. My uncle didn't understand at all, and asked in a daze, "What are these people doing?"
Talking nonsense without shame, "They think you have too many spots on your face, and want to introduce beauty products for spot removal to you"
Lawyer Mi: ...
The next day, I took my uncle to Nanluoguxiang, where I ate Shuangpi Nai and drank soybean juice.There are many small shops in Nanluogu Lane to buy gadgets, such as marriage certificates, dog loyalty certificates, both in Chinese and English. Lawyer Mi picked up one of them curiously: "Your Chinese marriage is so casual, you can get married on the street. buy a marriage license"
"It's just an imitation. I usually buy it for fun. In China, men can't marry men. Even if they fill in this, they don't count. The government doesn't stamp it. Without a stamp, it's not considered a formal marriage."
He held the marriage certificate and looked at it for a long time, pursed his mouth, bought two copies, and gave me one: "I don't care, buy two copies, and we will fill them out when we get home. If they don't let me, I will carve a seal by myself , who cares”, is really naive.
Passing by a store of stinky tofu, Attorney Mi took three steps back holding his nose, and looked at the crowd in front of the store in disbelief, "You Chinese are simply amazing, what kind of food is so smelly that you are willing to eat it? There are so many people? "
I also lined up to buy a copy, my eyes were shining, and I kept stretching it out in front of my uncle to recommend: "This is the essence of Chinese food. I have wanted stinky tofu for a long time, and I dreamed about it at night. Come, eat a piece, but It's delicious."
He opened his mouth and swallowed a big piece, so startled that the uncle backed away again and again, with a disgusted expression on his face: "Asher, you really eat it?"
"Nonsense, why would I buy it if I don't eat it?"
He arrogantly waved his hands and fanned the wind, "Then eat slowly, and don't think about me kissing you again after eating."
Rolling his eyes, he ate another piece, "It's as if I care about you kissing me, how can you have precious stinky tofu?"
Attorney Mi's second-grade glass shattered all over the floor.
Uncle's tall man is also very eye-catching in Beijing. He dresses in a coquettish style, and his legs are so old and he likes to wear tight-legged pants to show off.It's the weekend, so many people come out to play.Tantan, a well-known dating app in Beijing, is also promoting in Nanluo.A group of foreigners wearing suits and holding a rose stopped people on the street to take pictures.
A little girl next to him saw my uncle and secretly said to her friend, "Look at this man, he is so tall."
Her friend echoed in a low voice: Yes, the legs are so long and handsome. Are you a model?I just kept staring at him.
The foreigner who promoted gave a rose to one of the little girls. The girl hesitated for a long time, then ran over suddenly, handed the flower to the uncle with trembling hands, and said in English "You are so handsome, this, this rose." Flowers, for you"
Who is Attorney Mi?French purebred golden retriever, a race with romantic factors in its bones.He smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to take the flowers, followed the little girl's hand, and gently lowered his head to kiss the back of her hand. He teased her in a low voice in English: "Thank you, my beautiful lady."
The girl blushed with shame, clutching the back of her hands and being dragged by her friend and screaming.
He picked up the flower, broke off the end, simply took off the thorns on the stem, and handed it to me, "This charming gentleman, are you willing to accept this flower and spend the rest of your life with me?"
The two girls next to me started screaming again.
I had double-skin milk in my left hand and takoyaki in my right hand, with a piece of stinky tofu stuffed in my mouth, and I was in a daze.
Due to the smell of stinky tofu, Attorney Mi did not stage a man-to-man kiss in public, but symbolically pinched his nose and leaned over to touch my cheek.
I took the opportunity to open my mouth and let out a big breath, "Does it smell like this? Look at your talent..."
Lawyer Mi, who had nowhere to escape, sniffed, and twisted his face from being smoked.
In the end, the flower was inserted into the schoolbag, and the two ate along Nanluoguxiang from beginning to end, takoyaki, Spanish churros, double skin milk, hot and sour noodles, donkey meat fire, fried liver, meat sandwiches, triangular barbecue .Attorney Mi, who had eaten, had two holes in his belt loose and still refused to stop talking.I didn't let him eat any more, but he was still not happy, yelling, "It's rare to come to China, I've never been here before, let me eat some more."
"Don't you still want to eat roast duck? If you eat too much, you won't be able to eat at night."
When Mr. Mi heard about the roast duck, he looked at the hot and sour powder in his hand and gritted his teeth, "Take the last bite!"
After talking, Hululu poured the whole bowl of soup and powder into his stomach.
"..."
I had roast duck for dinner. I regretted it as soon as I entered the door. The aroma of the roast duck was very tempting. I ate all the snacks in a mess in the afternoon. Now my stomach is still full and I am not hungry at all.I ordered half a roast duck, ordered three meals and a pot of tea.Slowly drinking tea while looking at a string of dead ducks hanging on the turntable in the kitchen.
Mi Jinmao stared at the duck with bright eyes, and sniffed vigorously, "It's so delicious."
I’m allergic to ducks, so I can’t eat them. I used to eat roast ducks because other people ate duck meat. I eat scallion burritos with sauce. Uncle eats ducks by himself. I’m sorry to see me eating scallions. I called the waiter and even wrote and gestured for half a roast. Chicken, please cut it up in the kitchen and let me roll it up.They ate too much in Nanluo, and the two of them were full without eating a few bites.Packing leftovers in their hands, they walked the street hand in hand.
Attorney Mi was full of food and drink, and his energy level was also lifted. He dragged me to look left and right on the street.After walking for more than an hour, I returned to the hotel. As soon as he entered the door, he yelled that he was hungry after exercising, saying that he was hungry for roast duck again, so I had to carry the roast duck downstairs and ask the kitchen to help heat it up.While I was taking a shower, Lawyer Mi ate up the remaining half of the roast duck and chicken. When I came out of the bathroom, there was no bones left in the bag.
The result of eating wild food is very serious. In the middle of the night, Lawyer Mi Huali suffered from stomachache, vomiting and diarrhea, lying on the bed half dead, and kept moaning: "Chinese food is delicious, but the sequelae are too great up"
Hehe, how can Chinese delicacies be digested by the stomachs of delicate Westerners like you?
