Chapter 270 Touring Kyoto

"Comrade Li, he just picks up rags and eats all day long, how can he still despise you!

You just took a sip with a spoon and let him drink it, and he still wants to thank you!" Lao Jin on the side saw Li Wen's embarrassment and explained with a smile.

"Yes, that's right, this Comrade Li, how can you despise others for eating these days? I have to thank you for the food!"

Liu, who was in ragged clothes, quickly caught Lao Jin's words and said with a smile on his face.

"That's it, Comrade Liu. I see you haven't ordered a meal, so let's sit down and eat together! Even the two of us can't finish the food on the table." Li Wen nodded and invited Liu Shao to eat with him.

"This, thank you so much." Seeing that Li Wen didn't dislike his rags, Liu Shao was a little touched for a moment.

"You're welcome, it's just breakfast. Let's sit down and eat together!" Li Wen smiled and waved his hand, and then continued to taste the noodle tea in his hand.

The noodle tea in Kyoto is different from the oil tea and bean paste in Li Wenqin's hometown. The noodle tea tastes like a strong sesame paste and ginger.

Serve a bowl like this in the morning and in winter. As the old Kyoto dialect says, "Ha! After drinking the noodle tea, your whole body will be warm and energetic."

"Comrade Li, you should drink this noodle tea like this. Pick up the bowl and sip it along the edge of the bowl. This way will not burn your mouth and is the most authentic."

Lao Jin watched Li Wen eat with a spoon, then picked up the bean juice in his hand and demonstrated.

"Haha! Then I will do as the locals do and try the authentic old Kyoto way of eating.

The way of eating this bowl is the same as how we eat glutinous rice porridge and mutton steamed buns in Qin Province." After Li Wen finished speaking, he tasted it according to Lao Jin's method.

Li Wen turned the bowl and took a few bites. In fact, it was just like that. There was nothing special about it. The only difference was that he ate it this way and it was slower.

What Li Wen likes most for breakfast this time is pea yellow and Sazi. These two snacks are very suitable for Li Wen's taste.

The others are just like that. After all, people wear less clothes these days, and it’s normal to have less ingredients.

"Lao Jin, how is Comrade Liu's meal? Is it enough?" The three of them had big appetites, and the breakfast table was completely wiped out.

"That's enough!" Lao Jin smiled and nodded.

"Comrade Li, I haven't felt so full for a long time. Thank you for the meal today.

From now on, in Deshengmen, if you have any questions, feel free to come to me, Bao Bao Liu, and I can still talk to you." Bao Bao Liu smiled and hugged Li Wen.

It’s just a meal! Li Wen didn’t reply and nodded with a smile.

"Bad Liu, please hurry up! You are using me, Lao Jin, as air." Lao Jin on the side saw that Liu Cha could do it on his own, so he hurriedly laughed and cursed.

"Let's go! Lao Jin, our first stop is the Forbidden City. I want to visit there." Li Wen didn't want to hear the two of them talking, so he stood up with a smile.

After dinner, Lao Jin worked hard on his bicycle, and it seemed that he was still very capable of making money.

"Comrade Li, I am familiar with the Forbidden City. I used to fly kites there when I was a child." Lao Jin showed off with a smile.

"Lao Jin, you are awesome!" Li Wen praised with a smile.

"Hey! Heroes don't mention their bravery in the past, but that can't be done now. You have to buy a ticket to enter." Lao Jin said with a smile.

Along the way, Lao Jin told various secrets about Kyoto, which made Li Wen gain a lot of knowledge.

"Comrade Li, this is the Tongzi River. There used to be a lot of people here, but now people often fish here."

Tongzi River is actually a moat.

Lao Jin parked the car on the bridge, pointed at the old and young men fishing in the distance and said.

Li Wen looked at the moat in the distance and the people fishing, and couldn't help but sigh.

If anyone dared to fish here a hundred years ago, it would only be those princes, Baylor. What a turn of events!

Looking at it, Li Wen couldn't help but smile in his heart. He used to love looking at the Qinman Siheyuan, but he didn't know if there was a Yan Laoxi in the Siheyuan in the world, and whether he had ever fished here.

After stopping by the moat for a while, Li Wen took out his camera and took a rare photo and recorded it.

"Comrade Li, today is the weekend and there may be more people visiting the Forbidden City. Let's go in early!" Lao Jin said with a smile.

When they arrived at the Meridian Gate, Lao Jin checked in the tricycle and the two of them walked towards the ticket office together.

"Comrade, how much does it cost to buy two tickets?" Li Wen leaned against the window of the small house and asked with a smile.

"It's a dime a piece, look at the ID." A lesbian said enthusiastically.

Li Wen and Lao Jin quickly handed over their identity certificates and two cents.

The lesbian glanced at it and saw that Li Wen was not a local, so she asked for Li Wen's pass. Seeing that there was no problem, she tore off two tickets and handed them to Li Wen.

"In this day and age, the ticket price for a visit to the Forbidden City is only 10 cents. It's really cheap!" Li Wen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Walking through the broad Meridian Gate, Li Wen immediately saw the Jinshui Bridge that is often shown on TV, where ministers and soldiers pass by.

The Forbidden City is indeed magnificent. It took the two of them three hours to visit the main palaces.

Li Wen, who had never seen the Forbidden City before, was fascinated by it, especially the large square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. He used to watch it on TV, where the emperor waved his hand and made all his beloved queens fall asleep.

Li Wen, who was greedy, wished he could go up and experience it himself, but he was prohibited from going up due to the protection of cultural relics, which made him sigh.

Li Wen also curiously used his mental power to explore under the dragon chair to see if there was a grasshopper gourd hidden by the last emperor.

The result is of course a pity, there are no grasshopper gourds, some have died long ago, and some are just a few pellets of mouse droppings.

As he continued to go deeper, the curiosity and wonder in Li Wen's heart gradually turned into regret.

Most of the palaces and squares in the Forbidden City lack maintenance. The roofs and floors are covered with weeds, and many of the walls and palaces are in dilapidated condition.

This made Li Wen couldn't help but sigh. Although the Forbidden City has entered the crowd, it has also lost its former pride and become lonely.

"Lao Jin, let's go! Let's go to the next stop, Old Summer Palace." Li Wen waved to Lao Jin on the side.

"Comrade Li, there is nothing interesting to see in the Old Summer Palace. It is now all wasteland and farmland." Lao Jin explained.

"Let's take a look! It's like remembering history." Li Wen said with a sigh.

"Comrade Li, the Old Summer Palace is too far from the Forbidden City. Let's walk that way while shopping!

And it’s almost noon, so I’ll take you to have lunch by the way.” Lao Jin suggested.

"Okay! Lao Jin, how about we have Kyoto roast duck for lunch?" As soon as Li Wen heard about the meal, he immediately recovered from the regret of the Forbidden City.

"Comrade Li, you are really a gentleman, Liu Ke really didn't talk nonsense." When Lao Jin heard that Li Wen wanted to eat Kyoto roast duck, he opened his mouth in shock.

"Lao Jin, in this life, tasting delicious food is the simplest and most accessible happiness." Li Wen said with a smile.

"Okay! I'll satisfy my craving for being honored by you today. Sit down and let's go!" Lao Jin has not had roast duck for many years, so he is naturally excited to have a meal today.

"Lao Jin, didn't you say that Quanjude is the most authentic? Why did I go to Bianyifang today? The name sounds like it's not upscale." Li Wenming asked knowingly.

"Comrade Li, I personally feel that the roast duck at Bianyifang is more authentic than that at Quanju.

Biianfang has a history of more than 500 years, and the duck here tastes good and the price is affordable." Lao Jin pulled Li Wen to the door of Biianfang and explained with a smile.
