Chapter 80
After coming out of Wangfujing Department Store, the two strolled along Wangfujing Street to Bianyifang. It is said that the roast duck here is particularly delicious.
Song Shuqian was curious, “I have only heard of Quanjude roast duck, why is there a Bianyifang?”
Wei Jianguo asked his comrades before coming, “Quanjude has a greater reputation, and its roast duck is roasted in a hanging oven. The people who come to Bianyifang are all gourmets, and their roast duck uses a stewing oven technology. Let’s eat Bianyifang today and Quanjude tomorrow and compare them to see which one you like.”
“Virtue, a spendthrift man.”
Song Shuqian originally spoke Jinling dialect and was influenced by her life in the Northeast. Now she speaks with a bit of Jinling Northeastern accent. Occasionally, when she speaks in dialect, she is like a chubby kitten imitating the cry of a lynx, which is so cute that it makes people’s hearts flutter.
Wei Jianguo can’t resist it at all.
Walking and walking, I saw Nei Liansheng, handmade thousand-layer cloth shoes and satin shoes, which look comfortable. “Husband, let’s go in and take a look.”
The shoes here are all sewn by workers stitch by stitch, and the quality is guaranteed.
“Can I try on the shoes?” Song Shuqian asked.
The waiter was a male comrade with a very good attitude. “Sure, what size do you want?”
Song Shuqian reported the number.
Wei Jianguo took the shoes and said, “Just sit still, I’ll do it.”
He helped Song Shuqian change her shoes. The waiter kept looking at them. He probably didn’t expect that there would be a man who was so considerate and obedient to his wife.
Song Shuqian chose a pair of satin shoes with embroidery on them, which were very comfortable to wear.
“I want this one, and you should try it too, husband. Buy two more pairs, just right for the hot weather.”
Wei Jianguo obediently tried a pair of thousand-layer cloth shoes and a pair of Jiefang shoes, and was very satisfied.
Before leaving, he asked for two pairs of shoes one size larger for Song Shuqian, “The doctor said that your feet will swell in the late pregnancy, buy a size larger to wear then.”
“Wait until they are swollen before buying, we don’t know how much bigger they will be by then. What if they are two sizes larger?”
“Okay,”
the two left Nei Liansheng with brown paper bags.
Song Shuxi felt very familiar with the packaging of this era. The Great Yong Dynasty also used kraft paper for packaging.
When they came to Bianyifang, they ordered a roast duck, a nine-turn large intestine, a portion of fish slices with sauce, and a sea cucumber with scallions. They couldn’t wait to start when the dishes came.
The roast duck slices dipped in sauce, scallion shreds and cucumber strips were wrapped together with a small pancake. When they took a bite, there was a “crackling” sound, and the fat instantly burst in the mouth, but it didn’t feel greasy at all, leaving only a rich aroma.
One after another, the two people didn’t have enough for one roast duck, so they added another one.
The fish slices with sauce are a classic of Shandong cuisine. The chef perfectly reproduced the effort. It was so smooth and tender that it seemed to melt in the mouth with a light sip.
The nine-turn large intestine, which has a heavier taste, is Wei Jianguo’s dish, which Song Shuxi doesn’t like.
“Husband will leave later. Pack a few and we will take them away. We won’t be able to eat them if we are greedy in the future.”
Wei Jianguo naturally had no objection.
After dinner, the two took the tram back to the hotel. Song Shuqian was a pregnant woman after all. She fell asleep while lying on the bed and didn’t have time to get up and clean up.
Wei Jianguo resigned himself to helping her clean up. He washed her face first with a warm, wet towel, for fear of waking her up.
Then he picked her up and went to wash her feet.
The most difficult thing was brushing her teeth. Song Shuqian loved cleanliness and had to clean her teeth carefully after every meal.
Helplessly, he could only wake her up. Song Shuqian was now physically moving but her soul was sleeping.
After waking up, she only had a vague memory, like, “I brushed my teeth.” She had no impression of what else she said and how to brush her teeth.
This was the experience Wei Jianguo summed up. It was right to let her sleep well at this time. He
wrote a message in a small notebook and put it where Song Shuqian could see it when she woke up.
Wei Jianguo went out to look for the black market. He planned to exchange some tickets.
His wife should do whatever she wants. If she likes it, she should buy it. She shouldn’t be entangled in counting tickets.
Wei Jianguo is a little conflicted now. He wants to work hard on the mission and get promoted to become his wife’s support. He also wants to spend more time with her.
After only two minutes of conflict, he figured it out. His wife was never a dodder. He would train seriously, make good plans, and pay attention to protecting his own safety when on a mission. When at home, he would accompany his wife wholeheartedly.
The black market in Sijiu City is larger and bolder than that in other cities, and there are a lot of things. Wei Jianguo exchanged a lot of tickets, including the common meat tickets, cloth tickets, and sugar tickets. The most valuable thing was that he exchanged for a few foreign exchange coupons, plus the ones he exchanged from the division commander when he came out, so that Song Shuxi could go shopping happily.
He also bought a lot of candies, chocolates and prawn crisps that didn’t require tickets, and put them in the treasure gourd when he went back.
This time they went out and bought candies, enough for Song Shuxi to eat for many years.
Passing by Quanjude, thinking of his wife’s love for roast duck, he packed two more and put them in the treasure gourd to eat slowly.
Song Shuxi got up to drink water, called twice, but didn’t hear Wei Jianguo’s response, so she got up to look for it.
Seeing the note on the table, knowing that he just went out to buy things, she was still a little worried. She couldn’t sleep and started to look at the supplies in the space again.
This sight shocked her, they really bought a lot during this period.
Fortunately, the Song family is rich.
This sight, she found a box forgotten in the corner, as if there was a trophy that was embezzled after a victory. At that time, she was still a little girl with a clear distinction between love and hate and felt that her father’s behavior of withholding the trophies was very unfriendly.
She secretly put it away, intending to go back and ask her mother how to deal with it.
Later, things happened one after another, and she forgot about these boxes of things.
When she opened the box, the things were piled together in a mess, two-night pearls as big as eggs, a cut jadeite stone, a black and purple dagger, a soft armor, and the rest were jewelry.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Song Shuqian was very interested in the dagger and soft armor.
Take it out and play with it. When
Wei Jianguo came back, he saw his wife holding a dagger with a cold glow in her hand and playing with it. He tried to lower his voice and said softly, “Wife, I’m back and bought you some candy.”
Hearing this, Song Shuqian put the dagger aside and reached out for a hug.
Wei Jianguo hurried over and threw the dagger a little further away.
He hugged Song Shuqian and patted her back while saying, “That dagger must have killed many people. The cold air is about to overflow from it. It’s not something you can play with. Put it away quickly and don’t take it out again.”
God knows, he was scared to death.
He was a man who had been to the battlefield, so he naturally knew what weapons that were exposed to blood all year round looked like.
He was very superstitious about Song Shuqian’s matter. This kind of thing was not good for pregnant women and children. If possible, he hoped that his wife would never meet these things in her life.
Song Shuqian came through time and space, and she believed in metaphysics. She picked up the dagger and stuffed it into Wei Jianguo’s hand, “I give it to you. It’s only right for you to hold it.”
Wei Jianguo really liked it and felt that he could suppress his own evil spirit, so he accepted it.
“Jianguo, there is also this software, which I give to you. I found it when I was sorting out the treasure gourd, and I don’t know when I put it in.”
Wei Jianguo opened the soft armor, which was silver all over and woven very densely. He couldn’t pierce it with a portable dagger.
Wei Jianguo… Is this the golden silk soft armor that our ancestors talked about?
The couple began to do various experiments and finally found that this thing was indeed the legendary golden silk soft armor.
“Husband, put it on quickly and wear it close to your body, so that you have an extra layer of protection.”
“Wife, put it away quickly, this thing can be a family heirloom in the future.”
The two voices sounded at the same time.
You look at me, I look at you.
“Wife, put it away quickly, this is too precious.”
“No matter how precious it is, it is still an object. Since it is an object, it is used. Put it on quickly.”
In the end, Wei Jianguo was defeated. He dared not move when he put on the soft armor. This was a legendary thing, very precious, and he was afraid that he would break it.
Song Shuqian let him do whatever he wanted, as long as he wore it.
Wei Jianguo was now particularly curious about the Song family. What kind of family is it that can read and do business well and can also have the heirloom that the military family dreams of.
In Song Shuqian’s puzzled eyes, Wei Jianguo only said, “Wife, soft rice is so delicious, I want to eat it for the rest of my life.”
In terms of material conditions, Wei Jianguo was rotten. He wanted to eat soft rice and only eat Song Shuqian’s soft rice.
