The Periodic Table of Words and Spirits at Hogwarts

"My mother is not in the capital for business. You can stay at my house today. Do you want one room or two rooms?"

Shen Jian said to Zhang Qi.

"Two rooms, thank you, we are engaged and not married"...

Zhang Qi, who was sitting in the back seat, reached out to the co-pilot's seat and pinched Shen Jian's face.

"By the way, is Lieutenant Luo someone in the circle?"

Zhang Qi suddenly asked Shen Jian seriously.

"?"

Luo Yiheng was originally busy driving slowly on this snow-covered road, but he was obviously stunned when he heard this.

"Yes, and no."

Shen Jian thought about it carefully, and then answered.

"Strictly speaking, he can be regarded as our grassroots personnel, but he does not know the truth of this world."

"Uh, what are you talking about"?

Luo Yiheng felt a little hairy in his heart. How did Lieutenant Shen Jian know about his daily work?

Lieutenant Luo Yiheng's daily work is actually very simple. It is to report some abnormal events gathered from all over the country to the higher-level departments. This work should have been completely confidential!

What else is the truth of the world? Why can't I hear it at all?

"Relax, Comrade Lieutenant. Everything you usually gather will be reported to us in the end. For example, you are the ones who are responsible for providing us with clues, and we are the ones who are responsible for handling these things on the front line."

"Also, drive safely."

Shen Jian stretched out his left hand and gently patted Luo Yiheng's shoulder.

"Are you, a member of the Logistics Brigade of the Capital Military District"?

Luo Yiheng swallowed his saliva to strengthen himself, and then asked a little hesitantly.

"Yes, I thought you could see something through my hair color."

Shen Jian nodded and said.

"General Xu Lin"...

Luo Yiheng held back for a long time before he said hesitantly.

"She is my mother."

Shen Jian nodded again, as confirmation.

"By the way, where are we going for the first stop?"

Zhang Qi asked Shen Jian.

"Let's throw your luggage in the car first. Lieutenant Luo Yiheng will drive the car to my house and bring your luggage to the room."

"We'll get off the car next to the Drum Tower in a while. My younger siblings must have been frozen when we got off the plane? I'll take you to the barbecue season later to warm up."

Shen Jian said with a smile.

"Okay, are you treating me?"

Zhang Qi asked with a smile.

"I'm a treat. This month's allowance has just been issued, and I don't usually spend much money. Today it's even cheaper for you."

As Shen Jian said that, he took out a thick kraft paper envelope from the inner pocket of his clothes, and shook it in front of Zhang Qi's eyes.

"Good guy, you are treated well!"

Zhang Qi smacked his lips while looking at the thick envelope.

"That's not it, anyway, we are also a special force in China, and the meals and subsidies must be paid at least according to the standards of the first-class people in the Air Force."

Shen Jian proudly raised his head.

Luo Yiheng also saw the envelope out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly felt a little sour in his heart.

The work in a special department like him is relatively leisurely, and the subsidy is not bad, but compared with his colleague, it is still a lot worse.

"Don't be envious, Lieutenant Shen Jian's work is very exciting and exciting, even more exciting than when you work in the front-line troops."

Zhang Qi said coldly.

"Ah? How did you know that I used to work in the front line"?

Luo Yiheng asked in surprise.

"I can tell from the way you walk, not to mention whether you still have clean gun calluses on your tiger's mouth."

Zhang Qi said lightly.

Luo Yiheng just remembered that he took off his gloves when he shook hands with this Mr. Hilbert just now.

It is estimated that the moment the child shook hands with himself, he noticed the abnormal roughness, so he confirmed his identity.

"By the way, Lieutenant Luo Yiheng, I think you must know Mr. Hilbert's grandfather."

Shen Jian thought for a while, then said to Luo Yiheng.

"Ah, who is Mr. Zirol's grandfather"?

Luo Yiheng asked in confusion.

"My Chinese name is Zhang Qi, as for my grandfather"...

"It's Mr. Zhang Yan."

Shen Jian finished the second half of the speech for Zhang Qi.

"!!!"

After Luo Yiheng heard this, his mouth opened violently in surprise, and his chin hit his chest.

God! Zhang Yan!

This name is really too familiar, especially for people in their special department.

That is one of the founders of Shenzhou Techco!

"It's here"!

Just when Lieutenant Luo Yiheng hadn't recovered from the shock just now, the convoy had already arrived at the Drum Tower.

"Come on, the two of you, please get off the bus and leave your luggage on the back seat. Lieutenant Luo Yiheng will deliver it directly to your room."

Shen Jian opened the car door, and a cold wind rushed in instantly.

"Okay, I'll trouble you to spend today!"

Zhang Qi jumped out of the car first, then turned around and slowly helped Astoria get out of the car.

"Lieutenant Luo Yiheng, I will trouble you with the rest, and I would like to remind you that some things should not be said."

Shen Jian bent down, knocked on the car's window, and said to Lieutenant Luo Yiheng.

"clear"!

Lieutenant Luo Yiheng said with a bitter face.

Sure enough, it's better not to know some things, and it's easy to cause trouble for yourself when you know it.

———————————

According to legend, in the 28th year of the Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty (1848), Ji Decai, a Muslim in Dongtongzhou, Beijing, set up a stall selling roast lamb in the "Lotus Market" by the Shicha Seaside, marking the "Barbecue Season". Ji's family has been operating roast lamb here for many years. After saving, they bought a small building and officially opened the "Barbecue Season" barbecue restaurant. The location of the barbecue season is exactly the "Yinding Mountain View", one of the "Eight Scenic Spots of Yanjing". Facing a wave of clear water, it is really a good place to taste the barbecue while looking at the sunset of Xishan in the distance.

The Drum Tower, just a short distance from the north, is also a famous commercial and prosperous place in the capital. Merchants from all directions and tourists from all over have brought unprecedented development and prosperity to the barbecue season. The "wildness" of eating barbecue and the "game" of how to eat barbecue attracts diners from all walks of life. In the restaurant during the barbecue season, there are iron scallops, and the pine cones are burning below, and the smell is fragrant. When eating barbecue, they all stand around the fire, one foot on the long bench and the other on the ground. Hold the seasoning bowl in one hand, and in the bowl are seasonings mixed with soy sauce, vinegar, minced ginger, cooking wine, braised shrimp oil, shredded green onion, and coriander leaves. With a long bamboo chopstick in one hand, the thinly sliced ​​mutton is dipped in the seasoning, and then grilled on a fire. When the meat is cooked, eat it with candied garlic, cucumber strips, hot ox tongue cake, or drink it with wine. Especially in the cold autumn and cold winter, I eat profusely and sweat profusely.

This is the origin of the famous barbecue season.

"It's snowing a lot this winter, otherwise this street should actually be full of people."

Walking on Drum Tower Street, where pedestrians were a little sparse, Shen Jian explained to Zhang Qi and Astoria.

Zhang Qi translated it to Astoria in English.

"But this is just right. Usually, this store can't get a seat. If you want to come, you even have to book in advance."

Shen Jian said to Astoria, and Zhang Qi was in charge of the translation.

"It is estimated that there are not many people in it today, and it is very convenient to eat and serve food."

With that said, Shen Jian led Zhang Qi and Astoria towards the front of the commercial street.

Astoria looked at the quaint Chinese traditional buildings on both sides of the street and showed a surprised expression.

"Most traditional buildings in Shenzhou are made of wood, and nails are rarely used, because every part can be perfectly snapped together."

Zhang Qi explained to Astoria.

"The restaurant we are going to is the most famous restaurant in Peiping, China. It has hosted many domestic celebrities and foreign dignitaries. It can be regarded as a signature restaurant in China."

While talking, a gorgeous two-story pavilion appeared in front of everyone not far away.

Although the entire hotel is only on the second floor, the hall is very spacious. The traditional wooden building and the bright and quiet glass perfectly interpret what is called the combination of tradition and modernity.

"come in".

Shen Jian greeted the two and walked into the lobby of the hotel.

In the simple and elegant lobby, there are many famous calligraphy and paintings hanging, the environment is comfortable and pleasant, and the air is filled with the heat of charcoal fire and the aroma of barbecue, which really makes people feel very happy physically and mentally.

There is also a plaque hanging inside the lobby:

"The flavor of the Northland, the four seas are happy together".

This should be the banner inscribed by Mr. Huang Hua back then. The hotel engraved this banner on the plaque.

He stomped off the snow stuck on his shoes at the door of the hotel, and a few people walked slowly to the front desk.

"Yo! Mr. Shen"!

A middle-aged man who was at the front desk bowing his head to book accounts just raised his head, then quickly walked around from behind the wooden table with a look of surprise, and walked quickly to the front of Shen Jian.

At this time, Shen Jian had already changed into a dress without any logo in the car, so he was not worried that others would recognize his profession.

"Yo! Good afternoon, Manager Feng."

Shen Jian replied in an authentic Beijing accent.

"This is, a foreign guest"?

Boss Feng quietly approached Shen Jian and pointed at Astoria cryptically.

Although the barbecue season has hosted many foreigners since its establishment, the number is still relatively small.

So today, Boss Feng naturally felt very novel.

Especially this little white girl's hair color and pupil color, Boss Feng has never seen such a strange color when he is so old.

"Yes, British aristocrats, you just got off the plane and came here... Have you sliced ​​the lamb shank or something?"

Shen Jian asked Boss Feng a little worriedly.

"Put your heart back in your stomach. I've opened a shop for more than 10 years, and you still don't believe in my ability"?

Boss Feng said with a smile.

"Xiao Hu! Private Room No. 3 on the 2nd floor, please serve a pot of hot tea first, and the dishes will arrive soon!"

"Good shopkeeper"!

The waiter called Xiao Hu hurriedly ran out of the back kitchen and said to Shen Jian.

"Mr. Shen, this way"!

"Come on, Zhang Qi, help some younger siblings."

Shen Jian said to Zhang Qi, then turned sideways out of the way to the stairs.

Zhang Qi nodded to express his gratitude, then gently took Astoria's hand and helped her to walk upstairs slowly along the stairs.

Astoria has not fully adapted to living with one eye, and often falls unconsciously when walking.

And it happened to be a little cold outside just now, and his limbs were a little stiff, so Zhang Qi still needed to be supported from time to time by his side.

The two slowly walked up the stairs, with Shen Jian following behind the two of them.

"Master Shen, this girl is a little weak."

Boss Feng whispered to Shen Jian from the side.

"So bring her here to eat and make up for it."

Shen Jian replied.

"Hey! Don't tell me, mutton is the most suitable for nourishing the body. Let this girl come to me to eat a few more times, and I can guarantee that my face will be red in less than half a month!"

Boss Feng boasted with a smile.

"Don't brag about it, hurry up and serve the food. It is estimated that these two have never eaten since they got on the plane at Paris airport. Now they are going to starve."

Shen Jian said to Boss Feng with a smile.

"Don't worry, the lamb shank I bought at the farmers' market in the western suburbs this morning was just slaughtered in the early morning, so it's fresh!"

Boss Feng proudly patted his chest.

"Barbecue season is an ancestral handicraft. We guarantee that each piece of meat will be given to you so that it can shine under the lights!"

"Stop talking nonsense, and serve the food quickly. By the way, let's serve six bottles of Arctic Ocean first~www.wuxiaspot.com~Young people don't like tea."

(It is 1993 now, and the Arctic Ocean will not disappear completely from the market until 1994. At this time, the Arctic Ocean is still a very famous soda)

"okay"!

Boss Feng turned around and walked towards the back kitchen. He planned to rush the dishes, but don't let these foreigners who came from afar go hungry.

This is the signboard of your own house, but you must not smash it in your own hands!

At this time, Zhang Qi and Astoria had walked into Box 3 on the second floor.

This is the box at the end of the corridor. The decoration is not particularly luxurious, but it definitely has charm. And because it is at the end of the corridor, there is no need to worry that the noise of other diners will disturb the interest of the customers in the room.

And here is a private room facing the street, the floor-to-ceiling windows are convenient for ventilation, and you can enjoy the street view outside.

Little Julisot filled the charcoal stove with fine pine charcoal, and then put an iron grate on the stove.

"The three of you, please wait a moment, the meat slices from the kitchen will be delivered right away."

Xiao Hu said to the three people who walked into the private room, and then took out 6 bottles of soda from the box in the warehouse on the second floor not far away and put them on the table. He took out a bottle opener and opened the bottle cap.

"Oh, the Arctic Ocean, I haven't had this drink for a long time."

Zhang Qi took a straw and inserted it into the bottle to take a sip.

Um, it is indeed the taste of my childhood.

Zhang Qi vaguely remembers that this very famous soda water factory was on the verge of bankruptcy due to its financing failure in 1994. Although the cold drink product has not disappeared, the most famous soda drink product "Arctic Ocean" has been discontinued for nearly 15 years.

Maybe you can make a wave of investment in this factory?

Zhang Qi thought silently in his heart.
