It was 5:30 in the afternoon when I drove out. Xia Jinyuan and Ye Jian, who hadn't changed their casual clothes, walked out with the commander-in-chief in straight military uniforms from left to right. The light of laughter showed that the atmosphere of the conversation was very harmonious.
The place to eat was not a lively area, but a deep hutong alley close to Huangchenggen, and drove all the way to the front of a courtyard.
This was once the residence of a high-ranking official, but now it has become a private restaurant that ordinary people can't make reservations.
There were two pairs of guests coming to dine at the entrance of Ruishi Town House, and it can be seen in the twilight light that they are all visiting guests who are not rich but noble.
The box is quaint and typical of Ming and Qing interior decoration. Even the big chairs are made of good pinewood.
There are small ornaments such as jade bottles in the Bagebao, although it is a handicraft, the price is not cheap.
Xia Jinyuan carefully opened the chair for Ye Jian and took over Commander-in-Chief Xia's coat. He didn't pretend that the waiter himself hung it up.
"Private restaurants opened by acquaintances, the chefs hired are all chefs, and every one of them has special skills. We only trained to order a few lighter dishes, and next time I will bring you over to taste the more flavorful ones." Xia Jinyuan made the recipe. Open it, there is no greasy smell, and the smell of red sandalwood rushes to the face.
Ye Jian discovered that the original recipe was framed by red sandalwood and embedded in paper. It was not like a recipe, but rather like a work of art.
While waiting for the dishes to come up, the three of them talked about some interesting things in life, and did not mention anything about the army, and they maintained a high level of vigilance at all times.
When the food was served, Commander-in-Chief Xia would occasionally signal Xia Jinyuan to pick up dishes for Ye Jian, occasionally saying humorously, "Young people must be bold in young people."
He will say: "You are strong when you are young and I am strong when you are young. When you are old, it is all memories, Xiaoye, sometimes you make him work with more than one branch, so you should tune him out first."
When Commander-in-Chief Xia said these similar things, Ye Jian looked humbly and taught.
Xia Jinyuan said: "Your experience is purely misleading, teach less, and we will explore it by ourselves." Or perhaps, "You are vindictive, always remembering what I did to you when I was young and ignorant. , You have to look forward!"
As long as the two father and son meet Ye Jian, they will choose to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, just smile and watch without saying a word.
As soon as Commander-in-Chief Xia saw that Ye Jian stopped talking, he immediately turned his head and said, "Xiaoye, do you know why I am thinking about it?"
I really don't know.
Ye Jian poured the hot tea and asked with a gentle smile, "I really don't know." The commander-in-chief in private was so calm, she really didn't expect that she had no sense of tension anymore.
"If you don't remember, you won't be able to win the battle and be a kid. This thing will never be forgotten." Commander-in-chief Xia laughed. "This should be regarded as black history. He got into trouble outside, I thought. Just threw him to the juvenile management office and disciplined him, so he was able to make a bet with me."
Inadvertently, Ye Jian heard a dark history about Commander Xia, which was the dark history of the highest army leader, and she heard it without any preparation.
The situation is the same as when Xia Jinyuan mentioned Ms. Xiao last time, she listened to it completely without any preparation.
"I have ten rounds, and he also has ten rounds. I bet that whoever hits perfect will lose. If you lose, you have to run three kilometers around the playground. At that time, I thought it was impossible for me to lose. I'll still be able to play Jiujiuyiyi."
