Chapter 217 Hutongs and Siheyuans in Yanjing!

After Song Xinmin and Hou Kai left.

Yang Ming rested in the luxury suite of Yanjing Hotel.

There is no computer here, but there is a TV and newspaper.

What I am reading now is the domestic newspaper.

The information in the newspaper is not all, but I can learn a lot.

. . .

At noon.

Yang Ming, Azhu, Zhong Chuhong, Lin Xiuzhi, Tang Yun who just came, and Chen Zhenhua's bodyguards went to Yanjing Hotel for lunch.

Yesterday, Tang Yun, who accompanied Mr. Yang to climb the Great Wall for a day, found that she was a little overwhelmed after coming back as an old Yanjing person. She was also very curious about how Mr. Yang, a wealthy man from a wealthy family in Hong Kong, did it.

After having breakfast in the restaurant of Yanjing Hotel.

Tang Yun asked: "Mr. Yang, where are you going this afternoon?"

Yang Ming has been to many places these days.

Like the National History Museum, the Forbidden City, Tiananmen, the Summer Palace, and the Badaling Great Wall that we went to yesterday, and it should be the Ming Tombs. Xiangshan Park has not been to yet.

The Ming Tombs is the largest existing imperial mausoleum complex in China and even in the world, with the most mausoleums of emperors and empresses.

It belongs to the mausoleum and underground palace of the Ming emperor.

It is okay to visit during the day, but it is not suitable to visit at night because it is gloomy.

Yang Ming does not plan to go for the time being.

As for Xiangshan Park.

The red leaves of Xiangshan Park are famous both at home and abroad.

Especially when autumn comes, the red leaves of Xiangshan begin to turn red gradually.

During the National Day, the red leaves of Xiangshan are even redder. Yang Ming plans to take time to see it before leaving Yanjing.

"Miss Tang, I want to take a look at the local area. However, we will not take the car."

Local area?

The most representative features of Yanjing are of course the hutongs and siheyuans.

Before this, Yanjing had demolished many hutongs and siheyuans.

Some hutongs and siheyuans are still retained, which are basically where local natives live.

Tang Yun is an old Yanjing native. She grew up in Yanjing and is Rong Zhijian's cousin. Naturally, her family is quite well-off.

Now I know that Yang Ming wants to see the real life in the local area.

"Mr. Yang, let me take you to see the hutongs."

Hutongs?

Hutongs, also called "lilong (lòng)", "xianglong" and "xiang", refer to the smaller streets between the main streets in towns or villages, which lead to the interior of the residential area.

It is an indispensable part of local traffic communication.

According to the accessibility of the road, hutongs are divided into dead alleys and live alleys.

The former has only one opening, the end goes deep into the residential area and is interrupted inside; while the latter connects two or more main streets.

Hutongs are a major feature of Yanjing and Gusu.

But Gusu is called "xianglong".

When Yang Ming lived in Yanjing in his previous life, he certainly knew about hutongs and courtyards.

At that time, Yanjing was already very modern.

Those very distinctive hutongs and courtyards were basically demolished and turned into high-rise buildings in Yanjing.

At this time, in the late 1970s, when the terms "the first ring road, the second ring road, and even the third ring road" of Yanjing had not really appeared, real estate had not yet become commercialized, which meant that there were still many hutongs and even courtyards.

In that case, Yang Ming really wanted to go and see.

Zhong Chuhong, Ah Zhu, and Lin Xiuzhi were from Hong Kong. They had no idea what the difference was between hutongs and the streets and alleys in Hong Kong.

Only when they really saw it, they really knew the difference.

Yang Ming, Ah Zhu, Zhong Chuhong, Lin Xiuzhi, and Chen Zhenhua, led by Tang Yun, did not need to take those high-end Red Flag cars.

The group left the Yanjing Hotel and went to a nearby hutong.

On the way.

Yang Ming saw many young men and women wearing factory-like uniforms talking and laughing as they passed by.

Some of these young men and women rode 28-bar bicycles, while others walked.

Yang Ming knew that these people should be the people who had iron rice bowls in this era.

They either worked in government agencies or in state-owned enterprises in Yanjing.

At the end of the month, they get different wages and benefits according to different levels.

Even so, they are already a group of people with relatively high incomes in China.

Compared with these people, most ordinary farmers may not have an income of a few yuan a month, and they can't even eat enough. They may not have many meals of meat throughout the year.

This is the situation under the planned economy in China in this era!

Ah Zhu pushed Yang Ming in a wheelchair, and Tang Yun introduced him next to him.

Tang Yun was wearing a very beautiful flowery skirt and a hat. She looked as well dressed as the fashionable young men and women in Hong Kong.

Such skirts are not available in China. Obviously, this should be sent to her by the Rong family overseas.

In order to leave a good impression in front of Mr. Yang, Tang Yun also dressed well.

Tang Yun introduced it next to her, and Yang Ming also wrote it down.

When they came to a place.

Yang Ming had already seen the houses on both sides of the middle of the road.

The road was not big. Except for some old trees without leaves, the two sides should be the courtyards that Tang Yun said.

Why are the alleys in Yanjing different from the alleys in other cities?

The difference lies here.

The formation of the hutongs in Yanjing is mostly related to the local courtyard houses.

There are courtyard houses on both sides of the alleys and a road in the middle, which forms a hutong.

However, the alleys in other cities may be small roads formed by villages in the city.

"Mr. Yang, this is a very unique alley in Yanjing. In addition, there are courtyards on both sides of the alley."

Yang Ming looked over.

One of the courtyards was really big, but when he looked inside, he didn't see many people.

Tang Yun introduced as she walked.

Not only Yang Ming and his friends, in fact, they occasionally had other white tourists who had just come from abroad for inspection or sightseeing, and those white tourists took out their cameras to take pictures.

Later, many of the alleys and courtyards of this era that remained were mostly photographed by those white people.

It's not that there are no cameras in China, nor that you can't take pictures.

Nowadays, the material and spiritual aspects of China and foreign countries are like two different worlds, and no one has the leisure to take pictures everywhere with a camera.

"Master, the tree in front is so beautiful."

Azhu suddenly stopped and pointed to an old tree in front.

The old tree no longer had leaves, and it was full of golden persimmons.

This is the persimmon tree.

However, persimmons can be eaten directly or made into persimmon cakes, but not many people really like to eat them.

Long-term consumption of large amounts of persimmons, or consumption on an empty stomach, may cause certain effects, such as increasing the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and irritating the gastrointestinal tract.

If persimmons are consumed excessively, they may increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and easily cause abdominal distension or nausea and vomiting.

At the same time, persimmons are cold fruits. For people with weak spleen and stomach, excessive consumption of persimmons may also irritate the gastrointestinal tract, and may also be accompanied by adverse reactions such as increased frequency of bowel movements.

This persimmon tree has branches full of persimmons, but no matter how poor it is, not many people actually eat them, so many are eaten directly by birds or crows on the tree, or fall to the ground.

Looking back now, as a landscape tree, it is still quite beautiful.

In addition to persimmon trees, there are also locust trees.

Yang Ming remembered that he had come to the preserved alleys and courtyards in his previous life, and basically, he could no longer see any trees.

This is the characteristic of Yanjing Hutong in the late 1970s!

Not many people.

Very quiet.

The road also looks relatively clean.
