Chapter 538 Leaving Spring City
As expected of the earliest passenger car production city in the country, there are so many trams on the streets of Chuncheng. Han Li sat casually on an "old electric motorcycle" at this moment, and chose a position close to the window to look at the city.
Chuncheng City is worthy of its name. At least the streets here are very well greened, and there are many trees on both sides of the street. Unfortunately, it is late autumn now and there are very few leaves on the trees beside the street. However, in summer, it must be a scene of green trees.
In addition to trams, the most common things on the street are bicycles, and occasionally an old Warsaw car passes by. At this time, Han Li heard an aunt whispering to someone next to her in the car.
"Hey, let me tell you, according to inside information, the light industry store south of the Mass Theater will have another batch of enamel products that don't require tickets tomorrow. Let's go there early to line up. If we go late, we won't be able to buy them."
"Really? That's going to take a long time to get up. My husband's cousin is getting married. We originally planned to go and exchange tickets, but if we can buy an enamel basin this time, we can save a lot of money."
"Who says it's not true? There are more and more happy events in winter. If you don't need it now, you can buy it back as a backup. Maybe one day you will receive news of relatives and friends getting married."
"Then let's get up early and try to buy two more."
Han Li heard this and remembered the situation when Hou Xiujuan's family introduced Chuncheng to him at the dinner table. In addition to those large enterprises, the more famous one here is the "Torch Brand" enamel products produced by Chuncheng Enamel Factory.
The enamel factory has many products, including wash basins, vegetable plates, cups and saucers, imitation porcelain cups, machine-made cups, soup pots, gold-lined bowls, tea trays, soup basins, spittoons, woks, etc.
In addition to supplying the store system, Chuncheng's "Torch Brand" enamel products also undertake customized services for some units. As long as you have relevant certification documents, you can choose to print a big "award" on the relevant items, as well as the name of your unit.
However, most of these prizes are enamel cups, enamel bowls and enamel washbasins, and the words printed on them are mostly titles such as "advanced producer" and "advanced worker".
Chuncheng Enamel Factory will process a batch of products below the first-class products every once in a while. Not only do they not require tickets and the prices are not high, every sale will attract everyone to buy, and sometimes they may not be available. The sales location is the "light industry store" mentioned by the aunt just now. This can be regarded as a kind of welfare for the local people in Chuncheng.
Han Li was thinking about this when he saw a few young men riding bicycles on the roadside quickly snatching a hat from a passerby. Before the person being robbed could shout, the young men had already ridden away on their bicycles, leaving only their laughter after they succeeded.
Han Li couldn't help but complain when he saw this scene. Isn't this a combination of the motorcycle gangs and the people in the city of Sijiu who snatched military caps in the future? I didn't expect that Chuncheng would play so wildly.
At this time, the other passengers in the car also saw this situation, so they began to curse.
"It's this damn gang of street urchins that are causing trouble again."
"Isn't it? They are numerous and have clear division of labor. They also carry bricks, steel pipes, and chain locks in their backpacks. It's better to hide when you meet them.
"It's better to sew a strap under the hat. "
Although Han Li did not pay special attention to what the people in the car said, the words "unit farm", "close to home", "early departure and late return" still entered his ears.
Just as everyone was discussing, the tram stopped at the door of a store. Han Li looked up and saw that it was the Second Department Store of Chuncheng. He gathered his clothes and shoulder bag and got off the bus.
According to the introduction of the Hou family, Han Li learned that the most famous stores in Chuncheng are the First Store, the Second Store, the Third Store, the Fourth Store, and the Fifth Store. The things sold in them are similar, but they recommend the Second Store. One is that the transportation is convenient, and the other is that you can go south from the "Sdlin Street" next to it. There are squares and very distinctive Workers' Cultural Palace.
There are many other buildings and government compounds around here that cannot be entered but can be viewed.
After leaving here, you can take a bus to Xinmin Street, where there are several buildings left by the puppet Manchukuo for viewing from a distance.
And not far from Xinmin Street is my country's first film production studio. If you are lucky, you may meet movie actors.
As for the imperial palace left by the puppet Manchukuo The palace is in another direction. It's a bit too rushed to visit today. It's best to go there another day. .
Listening to advice and having a full meal, Han Li's main purpose is to appreciate this city. Why wouldn't he accept someone's better route?
After Han Li got off the bus here, he looked at the old European street lamps erected on the stone steps next to the second store, which added a touch of exotic flavor.
There were many people coming in and out here. Han Li followed the flow of people and walked into this famous store in the local area.
However, Han Li wandered around inside. After a circle, he came out with a cloth bag in his hand, which contained several imitation porcelain cups, a soup pot, and some accessories such as head flowers worn by women.
Next, Han Li also went to visit the famous local circle building, walked around it, bought some beef and fresh fruits, and walked along Stalin Street to the square and the Workers' Cultural Palace. Then he took the tram to the intersection of Xinmin Street.
Xinmin Street runs north and south. It was originally called "Shuntian Street" and was the location of the four ministries, one court, and one government office of the puppet Manchukuo.
These buildings from the 1930s, which combine Chinese and Western styles, seem to be very spectacular, but if you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that most of them are in the shape of "日" or "亚".
As expected of a puppet dynasty supported by Japan, the buildings here are full of their intentions of aggression and expansion.
However, it has now been requisitioned by various units. The middle section of Xinmin Street is Xinmin Park, but the locals call it Sanhe. Han Li did not ask for the specific reason. He is just a simple tourist now.
When Han Li walked on this street that combines Chinese and Western styles, he suddenly remembered his experience in Ice City, so he subconsciously stretched out his mental power.
Although the name here is loud, it is just a puppet court after all, so Han Li's mental power was in vain this time. At least he did not find anything valuable in the range he covered.
When Han Li finished walking on this Xinmin Street, which is more than a thousand meters long, the sky had already darkened. Then he found a post office and called Hou Xiujuan's home, saying that he had walked too far today and would not go back there.
Hou Xiujuan tried her best to persuade him, and even wanted her elder brother and Niu Dahai to come and pick up Han Li, but he refused.
It turned out that after the family separated from Han Li, they found a very famous doctor and asked him to re-diagnose according to Han Li's method. The final conclusion was the same, and even the prescriptions were not much different. Moreover, the doctor's diet and daily life were not as good as Han Li's, which made Hou Xiujuan feel proud at her mother's home.
After Han Li hung up the phone, he found a restaurant on the street, had a simple meal, and found a hotel to rest. Today was over.
Early the next morning, Han Li simply moved his body in the room.
Check out, eat, and continue to visit this city that he has not yet finished.
However, Han Li spent most of his time today taking various buses to visit. It must be said that the buildings in Spring City are different from those in Ice City. Maybe the situation has improved a little this year. Many girls on the street are wearing colorful clothes.
Moreover, there are many cinemas here, such as Hongqi Cinema, People's Cinema, Changjiang Cinema, Chaoyang Cinema, Mass Theater, etc. There is at least one cinema in one area, and some places even have two.
Han Li's final destination is the palace of the emperor of the puppet Manchukuo. It occupies a very large area and has been named the Puppet Manchukuo Imperial Palace Museum since 1962. Some places are open to the public.
Han Li bought a ticket and walked into the building with blue bricks and red walls. Although there is no maintenance, the ancient fragrance and carved beams and painted buildings here all tell the luxury of the past.
Han Li visited most of the places in Chuncheng in just one and a half days. It would be a bit too flattering to say that he was just a quick visit.
In the evening of the same day, he met with Niu Dahai and his wife, and was naturally warmly entertained by the Hou family at night.
After returning to the guesthouse after a good meal, Han Li lay on the bed and said to Niu Dahai.
"Brother, if there is nothing to do here, I plan to go back tomorrow."
"Why go back? There is nothing to do, so you can play for two more days. My brother-in-law has already arranged the work on hand, and he is just saying that he will take us around."
"I have almost finished my shopping in the past two days, so I won't play with everyone."
"What can you do in two days, and there are many places that you can't enter without someone to take you, so you should have fun for a few more days."
What's the point of playing with other people's families? It would be awkward to death on the way, so Han Li was not moved at all, and finally Niu Dahai had to agree.
However, it was not so easy for Han Li to leave. In the morning, Hou Xiujuan's brother came to treat them to dinner again.
When he heard that Han Li was going to leave, he persuaded him for a long time, and finally he couldn't persuade him, so he delayed it until noon, saying that everyone would have a meal together after everyone got off work.
At lunch, all the Hou family members came, and their tone was a little more polite. After all, Han Li had such medical skills at such a young age, and his future achievements were expected to be high. No one knew when this man would come to him.
Moreover, the dishes they prepared for lunch today were quite rich, and the table in the private room was almost full.
Among them were pot-baked pork, three kinds of fried food, sauerkraut mutton, braised pig face, snow-covered bean paste (snow-coated bean paste), black and white cabbage, five-spice salmon, and chicken stewed with mushrooms.
Among them, the three kinds of fried food and snow-coated bean paste were specially made by Hou Xiujuan's father who went to the kitchen and found the chef in charge.
The three kinds of fried food is a famous local dish. It is made of pig intestines, big tripe, and pig liver. It looks simple, but the taste is not that good when made by ordinary chefs.
As for the snow-coated bean paste, it is even more rare. It is one of the famous dishes at the imperial banquet of the puppet Manchukuo court.
First, you need to season the bean paste and beat it into a ball, then coat it with whipped egg whites, fry it until the surface is slightly yellow, then take it out and sprinkle it with sugar.
It looks simple, but it is the dish that chefs are most afraid to order now.
The reason is that it needs to beat the egg whites, and it needs to be beaten continuously until the chopsticks can stand in the middle. Most people will get cramps in their hands when making this dish.
The dishes made with care are naturally very delicious, and the atmosphere at the table is also very good.
After finishing the meal, Hou Xiujuan and his brother personally sent him to the train station. Han Li also stuffed a large travel bag in his hand, saying that it was filled with Spring City specialties, and it was the kind that couldn't be pushed away.
However, when the other party wanted to help buy a ticket, Han Li quickly said no, and took out his internal certificate.
"Brother, you are good, you can get such things."
"This was given by a leader of the Ice City Railway Bureau. It is only useful when taking the train."
