Siheyuan, the opening gun is aimed at Yi Zhonghai

As soon as the institute got off work, Zhou Zheng took Tian Xinyue and He Yushui to a nearby state-owned dumpling restaurant.

There were a lot of customers in the dumpling restaurant, and it was a lively scene.

Zhou Zheng looked at the small blackboard in the dumpling restaurant, which read "Today's special, dumplings stuffed with egg and chives, 1.2 yuan (per pound)", so he leaned close to Tian Xinyue's ear and chuckled, "Hey, Qinghui, these are stuffed with chives."

He didn't speak loudly, but He Yushui could hear it clearly. She looked at Zhou Zheng curiously, "What's wrong with the chive filling?"

Without waiting for Zhou Zheng to answer, Tian Xinyue gave Zhou Zheng a fierce look, then leaned close to He Yushui's ear and whispered, "Aphrodisiac!"

He Yushui's face turned red and she looked at Zhou Zheng shyly.

Zhou Zhengze walked towards an empty seat as if nothing had happened, and the two girls had no choice but to follow him.

At this time, the waiter of the state-owned dumpling restaurant came over and greeted: "Sir, how many pounds of dumplings do you want?"

Zhou Zhengdao: "Three pounds of dumplings, a pot of hot tea, and a bottle of Xifeng."

The waiter took a pen and scribbled on the paper stack before saying, "Three pounds of dumplings are 3 yuan, hot tea is 6 cents, and Xifeng wine is 8 yuan, totaling 7 yuan."

He Yushui hurriedly took out 11 yuan from his bag and handed it to the waiter.

The waiter took the money, nodded politely to He Yushui, and looked at Zhou Zheng with contempt.

This action made Tian Xinyue cover her mouth and laugh.

Zhou Zheng didn't care and laughed: "Well, it's obvious that this guy is not married."

Tian Xinyue gave Zhou Zheng a look and said with disdain, "You're still talking about him. If you were half as honest as he is, we sisters would be very lucky."

Zhou Zheng said frivolously: "Oh, you like honest people, then fine, I will resign tomorrow and take you guys to the countryside to farm. I can't let this colorful world pollute me, hehe."

"Virtue~" Tian Xinyue curled her lips.

Soon, the waiter brought the dumplings to the table, "Guest, your dumplings are ready, enjoy."

At the same time, hot tea was also on the tray. He put the dumplings down first, then put the teapot at the foot of the table, and took out a bottle of Xifeng wine from his clothes pocket.

However, he found that he had not brought the wine glass this time, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, sir, I forgot to bring the wine glass. Please wait a moment, I will get it for you."

He Yushui couldn't wait to take out three pairs of chopsticks from the chopstick cage and gave them to Zhou Zheng and Tian Xinyue respectively. Then he adjusted the position of the plates, picked up a dumpling and put it in his mouth.

The dumplings were still very hot when they came out of the pot, and He Yushui was so hot that she breathed out hot air and fanned her mouth.

Tian Xinyue teased, "Yushui, why are you in such a hurry? No one is going to snatch it from you."

At this moment, the waiter returned, bringing back three wine glasses and three plates with garlic sauce in them. "Sir, our dumplings taste better when dipped in garlic sauce."

Garlic sauce is made by crushing garlic and adding it to soy sauce. Dumplings dipped in garlic sauce will have a special aroma.

Zhou Zheng took three plates from the waiter and distributed them.

The waiter took advantage of this gap to put down the wine glass and said, "Sir, please enjoy your meal."

In fact, the attitudes of most waiters in state-owned restaurants in this era were good, not as bad as rumored, and the "customers" in the sentence "Do not beat customers without reason" did not refer to normal customers who came to the store, but refugees from the surrounding areas of Beijing.

This thought flashed through Zhou Zheng's mind, and then he began to eat with relish.

He Yushui opened the bottle of Xifeng wine and filled the three people's glasses.

In the hot summer, it is only in the evening that you can feel a bit of coolness. It is quite pleasant to eat dumplings and have a drink.

Not everyone in the dumpling restaurant is so leisurely. People wearing cloaks and braids tend to order more side dishes; those wearing shirts and work clothes will order a pot of liquor; most of the people wearing coarse cloth shorts eat in a hurry and finish a plate of dumplings in no time.

The table where Zhou Zheng was sitting was against the wall on the east side, and nearby there was a table of men in coarse cloth and shorts.

One of the young men, who had a thin, dark face and a mustache, said, "Have you heard? It seems that there will be another war in the north. I guess the price of grain will go up after the autumn harvest."

Another middle-aged man with a round face and upside-down triangular eyes said, "Oh, where did you hear these rumors? If there really was a war, it would have been reported in the newspapers first. There is no evidence of this."

The dark-faced young man snorted, "I was just saying that. I heard it from a customer when I was carrying a bag today. This national event has nothing to do with us."

The round-faced middle-aged man sneered, "Then don't say it, so as to avoid trouble from your mouth."

Another middle-aged man said, "Okay, that's enough, why are you talking about this? What, now that you have enough money, you are free, right?"

Zhou Zheng just listened to these two sentences, thinking about the major events that happened in China in 1954. After confirming that there were no special records, he shook his head secretly and said sarcastically, "What nonsense."

I ignored what these people were talking about and started eating dumplings.

A group of customers came one after another. Zhou Zheng finally finished his meal and took away the remaining half bottle of Xifeng wine. He saw the waiter passing by his table and greeted him politely, "Let's go, buddy."

The waiter smiled back, "Come again."

After walking out of the state-owned dumpling restaurant, Zhou Zheng looked up at the sky.

Seeing red clouds rolling in the sky and golden stamens floating in the clouds, he said, "The clouds will burn in the evening, and the weather will be fine tomorrow."

Tian Xinyue and He Yushui couldn't help but look up.

"It's so beautiful!" He Yushui exclaimed.

Zhou Zheng took out his camera and took two photos of the sky, then chuckled and said, "Let's keep this beautiful scene."

Tian Xinyue smiled slightly, "Even if one roll is not enough."

Zhou Zheng took out two more boxes of film from his pocket and said, "That won't be a problem for me."

Tian Xinyue grabbed the camera and ran ahead, "Let me take a few pictures too. Fire clouds of this scale are rare."

It was indeed just as Tian Xinyue said, the entire sky was almost dyed red, layer upon layer, like fiery red petals spread across the sky, it was so beautiful.

The "clicking" sound of the camera attracted pedestrians on the road, diverting their attention to Zhou Zheng and others.

But when he saw Zhou Zheng and the others taking pictures of the sky with cameras, he couldn't help but look up at the sky.

"Wow, the clouds are like fire. I'm afraid it will be a sunny day tomorrow."

"You know what, the sunset clouds today are so beautiful. I never noticed them before."

"..."

Zhou Zheng and his friends did not stay where they were, but walked to the other side of the road while taking pictures. The car was parked on the opposite side of the road.

The car was a gift from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill after the research institute was built. It was not a good car, but it was also rare.

This also means that Zhou Zheng can drive a car openly in the old city.

But Zhou Zheng rarely drives this car. The shock absorption and sofa are really not good. There is no air conditioning in the car. If it is summer, when driving at noon, the heat in the car can make people fall down.

It can be said that it is just a formalistic appearance, and is far less comfortable than the car that Lou Xiao'e placed in her small world.

The three of them got into the car.

Zhou Zheng started the car and asked, "Which park are we going to?"

Tian Xinyue said: "Well, let's go to... Shichahai. There are too many mosquitoes in the park at night. I don't want to feed mosquitoes, hehe~"

Zhou Zheng thought about it and said, "Okay, let's go to Shichahai."
