Silly Zhu's Moving: The Old Neighbor's Nightmare

After waiting a short while, the waiter brought over the roast duck, followed by an experienced chef.

This is a live demonstration of duck-slicing skills. Under the watchful eyes of Sha Zhu and Yu Shui.

The experienced chef skillfully sliced ​​the roast duck into thin slices.

Each slice, skin and meat included, is arranged on an elegant plate.

Sha Zhu didn't even bother to count how many cuts the master had made. After the master put away his knife and politely left,

Sha Zhu then taught his younger sister how to roll up the duck meat herself.

"Rainwater, look here are shredded scallions, sweet bean sauce, and cucumber strips. After putting the roast duck in this thin pancake..."

You can spread some sweet bean sauce on it, and omit the scallions if you don't like them. Just roll it up and it's ready to eat.

As Sha Zhu spoke, he put the rolled-up roast duck into his mouth.

The roast duck is crispy and fragrant, the pancakes are soft and chewy, and the sauce is sweet and savory.

Sha Zhu nodded as he ate, muttering to himself, "Delicious, delicious, very good!"

Fortunately, Sha Zhu's voice was low, his mouth was full of food, and the hall was noisy.

We're fighting the US military right now, and you blurt out an English sentence.

This is a recipe for disaster! Luckily, it didn't attract the attention of anyone with ulterior motives.

Seeing her older brother eating, Yu Shui realized she couldn't even roll her little hands up properly.

The roast duck kept acting up, constantly falling into the plate below, but I ignored it and got impatient.

I just couldn't roll it right, and the more anxious I got, the worse it got. I was about to cry when I saw that Sha Zhu had rolled another one perfectly.

He immediately left his seat and snatched it from Sha Zhu's hand.

He didn't go back to his seat, but stood next to Sha Zhu and put it in his mouth.

Delicious food always brings satisfaction. The moment it touched her lips, the raindrops smiled.

"Is it good, Rainwater?" Sha Zhu, seeing his own roll snatched away, didn't continue rolling. He just watched Rainwater eat.

As Yu Shui ate the roast duck her brother had rolled up, she saw Sha Zhu asking her a question. She nodded quickly, "It's delicious, brother, roll some more for me."

"Rainwater, you can make a living by yourself."

"Brother, I can't roll it properly, can you help me?"

"Take your time if you can't roll it properly. I won't fight you for it. I'll watch you take your time, and if you can't roll it well, I won't eat it. Is that okay?"

"Fine, if I can't roll it well, you're not allowed to eat it either."

"Okay, okay, go back to your seat. I'll watch you do it. Slow down, don't rush. Haste makes waste."

Encouraged by Sha Zhu, Yu Shui finally managed to roll up a roast duck herself and revealed a satisfied smile.

When they had two servings, they even knew to try different side dishes and sauces according to their own tastes, wrapping them up separately in the roast duck and eating them.

"How is it, Rainwater? Can I eat it now, brother?" Shazhu asked.

"Sure, but you have to eat slowly. Your mouth is too big. You're eating three servings of roast duck, while I've only rolled one. That's not fair."

Rainwater looked at Shazhu with disdain and said.

Oh dear, you're so young and you already know how to protect your food. Don't you even realize that all this food is paid for by your brother?

"You little ingrate!" Sha Zhu ignored what Yu Shui was saying and slowly began to savor the roast duck.

The raindrops became more skilled and sped up, as if afraid of eating less than their brother.

Sha Zhu was enjoying his meal when Yu Shui suddenly stopped rolling up the roast duck, got off the chair, leaned close to Sha Zhu, and whispered something.

"Brother, look at the table next to us. The two people who just came in look really weird and scary." Yu Shui gestured for Sha Zhu to look over.

Sha Zhu stopped eating the roast duck and looked up.

They were likely from a Soviet country. A man and a woman; the man was tall and strong.

White skin, brown hair, and big blue eyes.

He has a high nose bridge, prominent cheekbones, and a long beard, so much so that he doesn't worry about food getting on his beard.

The woman was quite slender, a stark contrast to the chubby middle-aged women of later generations.

She had long blonde hair, green eyes, and fair skin.

The petite and slender woman sat next to the man; it was a beauty and the beast combination.

“Rain, what’s ugly about it? Look at that woman, isn’t she quite pretty?”

"What's so pretty about them? Brother, look at that woman, why are her eyes green? It's scary. Are those two monsters?" Rain said fearfully.

“There are no monsters there. You just don’t know much. You should come out and see the world with your brother.”

Those two people were from a Soviet country, which is to the north of our motherland.

Heading north from Beijing, past the Northeast, across the grasslands, and into Heilongjiang...

Further north is their country. It's so cold there, it's winter all year round. They eat meat, drink milk, and eat potatoes every day.

“Eating meat every day,” Rainwater said in surprise.

"Yes, they eat beef every day, aren't you envious? They can't afford vegetables, they don't even have cabbage, lettuce, or radishes."

Even the rarest cabbage was reserved for large farm owners, the wealthy, and government officials. They didn't even have cornbread.

The rain rolled its eyes; who would eat cornbread when there's meat to eat?

Sha Zhu continued, "When I was at Fengzeyuan, I met a lot of foreigners."

And then there are the Africans, whose entire bodies are jet black—their skin, faces, hands, and eyes are all black.

It's the same color as the black mud you play with or the black coal you burn at home.

Do you know what they eat?

The rain shook its head.

"They don't have to do anything all year round, they sleep all day, they don't work or go to work."

Cassava, wheat, corn, and potatoes grew in the fields.

Fruits and vegetables are everywhere. You can lie down in a tree, take a nap, and when you wake up, you can just pick some fruit from the tree and eat your fill.

On the African savanna, all kinds of animals graze freely; camels, antelopes, cattle, and horses roam in herds.

You can catch just one and roast it; you can catch as many fish as you want in the lake. There's more than you can eat, absolutely more than you can eat.

"Wow, they're so happy, but it looks so ugly," Rain exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, so happy, so happy!" Sha Zhu chuckled and whispered twice.

"Eat quickly, finish your food, we're going back. Don't waste any food."

Look at them, they can't even afford cornbread, they've never even seen what cornbread looks like.

Waste is shameful. Waste is a grave crime.

By the time the two finished eating the roast duck, it was getting dark outside. The two foreigners had already left.

Sha Zhu picked up the packaged roast duck, took the rainwater with him, and left Quanjude.

On the way, Sha Zhu asked Yu Shui, "How was it? The roast duck was delicious, wasn't it? Do you want to eat it every day?"

“Brother is bragging,” Rainwater said.

"Yeah, that's true. If you eat it every day, you'll get tired of it. You have to change things up."

Today it's Peking duck, tomorrow it's Donglaishun. Look at the rain, over there's Duyichu Shaomai Restaurant, over here is Yitiaolong Lamb Restaurant.

After we've tried all the food on this street, my brother and I will go and visit all eight of Beijing's most famous restaurants.

Apart from Dongxinglou in Dong'anmen, Anfulou in Wangfujing, and Cuihualou in Bamiantang,

Restaurants like Taifenglou, Zhimeilou, Hongxinglou, Zhengyanglou, Xinfenglou, and Chunhualou are all located in the Qianmen Dashilan area. You can eat your way through the eight major restaurants and the eight famous restaurants.

"Your brother will broaden your horizons."

Rainy Day excitedly looked at the shops on both sides of the street, searching for good food, while rolling her eyes at her brother. Her brother's talk got more and more outrageous.

When Sha Zhu rode his bicycle past the martial arts master's house, he stopped to say hello.

"Master, this is a roast duck I packed for you from Quanjude. Eat it while it's hot."

"This is my younger sister, He Yushui. I sold our old house and moved to a place near the military control commission."

The new house needs to be rebuilt, which will probably take two months. I'm bringing my sister to stay at the foreman's house for two months.

"Okay, no problem, you can stay for as long as you want. Your Master Wang has told me about your family situation."

"When are you moving in? Do you need my help with your things?" Master Li Xinggong asked.

"No need, sir. Just give me a key, and I'll find a rickshaw puller to bring it over tomorrow," Sha Zhu said.

"Okay, why don't you stay today? It's getting dark, and it's not safe to go back at night," said Master Li, glancing at the sky.

"No need, sir. I have things to do on my way back today. I need to tidy up my things at home. It's not a long distance; I can ride a bicycle there quickly."

"Okay, drive carefully and be safe. Take your flashlight with you."

If you really run into bad guys, you have to strike first and take them down in one fell swoop. Don't hesitate." Master Li wasn't too worried about Sha Zhu.

"Okay, I understand, Master. Goodbye, Master." Sha Zhu hurried home, his clothes soaked with rain.

"Brother, are we only moving here for two months? And what happened to our house? I don't understand anything," Yu Shui asked Sha Zhu while sitting in the car.

"Well, Dad said we're moving because there are bad guys in the neighborhood. We'll come to Master's house to learn martial arts for two months before moving back. But you're not allowed to tell your friends."

"You're still young and don't understand adult matters. Just listen to your brother, and I'll take you to eat all the good food and drink in the world. We'll eat our way through Qianmen Street, and then I'll take you to raid Wangfujing Snack Street."
