Chapter 147 Tiananmen in the New Era (55)

"Dayong, except for a few mice in the mountains and fields, most of the others are inedible.
Especially people in cities are very likely to get sick.

I haven't eaten it before, so I won't tell you about it.
However, starting from March, the State Council has distributed relief food to the elderly and orphans in the city every month.

Although the food is not very good, it is not enough to starve to death.
You don't need to eat this anymore, it can kill you if you're not careful."

Although what He Yuzhu said was true, people's circumstances are different.
For someone like him who traveled through time from the later era of material abundance and is a chef at home, it would certainly be difficult for him to get over the psychological barrier of eating rat.

But Dayong and his friends are obviously different.
When they had no food to eat before, they were lucky to have mice to eat. How could they be picky?

They had eaten so much in the past and nothing had happened to them, so at this moment they did not agree at all with He Yuzhu's statement.

Seeing that He Yuzhu was unhappy, they did not say anything to him.
He just smiled and turned away.

Seeing that they ignored him, He Yuzhu didn't bother to care about it, and didn't even step forward to stop them from leaving.
Just keep shoveling the soil with Tieqiu.

As he carried a load of soil to the truck parked in the middle of the square, he heard the neighbors nearby praising him.
"Ouch!

The pillar, I didn't see it.

You are so strong at such a young age.
This load of soil must be at least 100 to 200 kilograms, and he just picked it up, it's incredible!"

"That's right. Zhuzi, you are only 14 this year. As expected of a chef who flips the pot every day, your strength is extraordinary."

"That's right, the He family has three generations of chefs.
Zhuzi has never been hungry since he was a child, and he has been playing with knives and flipping pots since he was a child, so this strength has naturally been developed!"

……

Hearing the compliments from the neighbors, He Yuzhu didn't take it to heart and just smiled at them.
Then he worked with the driver to pour the sand into the truck.

Then go back and continue digging.

There is strength in numbers.
In just a few days, the half-meter-high gravel, sand, feces, weeds, and silt in the Jinshui River on Tiananmen Square were all cleared.
As the bulldozers, rollers and other construction machinery used to build the temporary airport before liberation began to enter the site,
Smooth the road surface,

It took only 10 days to renovate Tiananmen Square.
The towering city towers and bright red city walls look majestic and spectacular from afar.

apart from,

城门楼子上还没有悬挂那8盏高2.23米、周长8.05米、直径2.25米、重80公斤，看上去雍容华贵，落落大方的大红宫灯；

There are no portraits of leaders wearing octagonal hats, tweed uniforms, and kind smiles on the city walls;

The square does not have a white marble base, a flagpole with a maximum length of only 22.5 meters, or a monument to the people's heroes. It is just a small square of 54000 square meters that can only accommodate 16 people.

This ancient tower, which has a history of more than 500 years, has regained its youth.

Just like this new era.

The white marble pedestals, flagpoles, portraits of leaders, large red palace lanterns and other landmark items not mentioned above all require extremely sophisticated craftsmanship to complete.

Naturally, it had nothing to do with He Yuzhu and other common people who came to participate in voluntary labor.
Therefore, after clearing the square, the Military Control Commission temporarily blocked the scene.

Leaving Tiananmen Square,
He Yuzhu did not follow Li Hongying and the others back to Nanluoguxiang, but instead went to the overpass.

Since he was not very clear about the exact time and place where Sun Tie appeared,
So he could only wander around near the overpass.

See if you can get lucky.

After wandering around for several days, on the afternoon of September 9, He Yuzhu finally found Sun Tie, who was buying vegetables with a shoulder pole on his shoulder, in the crowd.

"Brother Tiedan, you finally showed up, but it took me a long time to find you."

Seeing He Yuzhu appear in front of him, Sun Tie, who was dressed like an old farmer, was also surprised, and asked in surprise,

"Zhu Zi, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Seeing that he hadn't realized what was happening, He Yuzhu couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"You disappeared for such a long time without a word, and Sister Zao has been looking for you. Some time ago, she even dragged Sister Hongying to go to Brother Lin to report the case.

If Brother Lin didn't know your identity,

To cover you.
The fact that you were an instructor in the Security Bureau has long been discovered. We'll see if Sister Zao will give you trouble when the time comes."

Sun Tie has been concentrating on his task for a while and has really ignored Tian Zao's feelings.

Now I heard from He Yuzhu that Tian Zao had been looking for him for a long time.
My heart skipped a beat.
"Zhu Zi, is your sister Zao okay now?"

"Brother Lin has been finding many excuses to delay this for a while now. It's fine for now, but he has no idea how long it will last.

When will you be able to finish your vegetable selling mission?"

After saying that, He Yuzhu looked into Sun Tie's vegetable basket and found a lot of peppers in it.
So he said with some doubt,

"Brother Tiedan, you guys are the ones who thought of selling chili peppers in Beiping.

The common people in Beijing eat Shandong cuisine.

You don’t need so much chili peppers on a daily basis. This isn’t how you make Sichuan or Hunan cuisine!”

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Sun Tie did not argue. He remembered that his family had been chefs for generations, so he asked,

"Zhu Zi, can you cook twice-cooked pork?"

"Brother Tiedan, you have asked the right person.

My great grandfather was the family chef of the famous Cantonese scholar Tan Hanlin when he was in Peking. When Tan Hanlin was appointed as the provincial education commissioner of Sichuan, my great grandfather was one of the servants who accompanied him.

So although our He family has inherited Tan cuisine, we also have some recipes from Shandong cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, and Sichuan cuisine.
I know how to make twice-cooked pork, the king of Sichuan cuisine.

You suddenly brought this up, do you need my help?"

Sun Tie had just asked casually, but after hearing He Yuzhu say that he could make twice-cooked pork, he had some ideas in his mind.
However, He Yuzhu was not told directly what the matter was.

"I wanted you to help me.

But I still have to go back and report this matter to my superiors, and I can only tell you the details after getting his approval.

such,

Come see me here tomorrow morning, and we'll talk more about it then."

"Okay, I'll come early tomorrow morning.

But Brother Tiedan, don't you want to go back and see Sister Zao? Do you want me to go and tell her she's safe?"

Hearing He Yuzhu talking about this, Sun Tie felt very conflicted.

But in the end, I refused cruelly.

"Forget it. This mission is very important. I won't go back. And don't report to me that you are safe.
I'm afraid Zao'er will come and kill me early tomorrow morning if he finds out.

Given her temper, something will definitely go wrong, so I'll have to explain it to her myself after I complete the task."
