Lisco's American Life

When talking about Beijing’s food, we have to mention the leader among them, “Beijing Donglaishun Restaurant.”

Dong Lai Shun started his business during the reign of Emperor Guangxu and has developed into a time-honored brand. The mutton hot pot here is considered a masterpiece. The founder, Ding Deshan, developed it from a porridge shop into a restaurant. It has been passed down by future generations and has become a must-go place for entertaining guests in Beijing.

When people think of hotpot mutton, they always think of this signature dish. Donglaishun is a halal dish. The mutton is carefully selected and processed, and the way to eat it is also very popular. Therefore, it is unique in Beijing, where there are many major cuisines, and has become a famous restaurant in the city.

The famous writer Lao She and his wife Hu Jieqing, Chinese painting master Qi Baishi, Peking opera masters Ma Lianliang, Zhang Junqiu and other senior celebrities often entertained guests and friends in Donglaishun during their lifetimes and left calligraphy treasures for Donglaishun. Many former party and state leaders also visited Donglaishun many times during their lifetimes.

Hosted banquets to entertain foreign heads of state and dignitaries. Former US President Richard Nixon, former Secretary of State Kissinger, former RB Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka, President Zamora of Mozambique, President Ishaq Khan of Pakistan, and many government officials from Christian countries

and diplomats all gave high praise and evaluation to Donglaishun's delicacies.

Lisko got out of the car and took Megan to the head office of this well-known restaurant. Its decoration was from the Qing Dynasty, which was elegant in its classics and gorgeous in its atmosphere.

When Lisko entered, the room was separated by screens and became private spaces. The hot air was blowing here, people came and went, and the guests were all pushing glasses and setting cups. Lisko also saw some foreigners on the seats, skillfully using the

Washing various dishes with chopsticks.

Meghan looked at the copper stove on the table and the various dishes on the adjacent table, and was also very curious about this way of eating.

Lisko took the menu and ordered an extra large portion of beef and mutton and some vegetables.

Lisko also ordered some duck intestines and yellow throat. Megan had never seen them before and kept asking what kind of dishes they were.

The soup base is the mandarin duck pot, the red and white soup base is rolling inside, which looks particularly beautiful.

Megan didn't know how to use chopsticks, and the store thoughtfully provided her with a set of knives and forks. She watched Lisko skillfully use two wooden sticks to quickly rinse the food, and she wanted to try it too.

"Ouch, no, this is so difficult." Megan pouted. She had never used this kind of tableware before and felt like she couldn't separate the two chopsticks with her fingers.

"Here, you taste it and I'll help you make it." Lisko put the cooked meat into her bowl.

"Put it on a fork and dip it in some sauce." Lisko looked at Megan's clumsy look dotingly.

"Hmm~ It's delicious. How can you eat it this way?" Megan's eyes lit up as soon as she put it in her mouth.

"The meat is boiled in the boiling soup and won't stay in there for a long time. Basically it will be pulled out in less than 1 minute. At that time, the nutrition of the ingredients is not destroyed and the taste is very unique. When dipped in the special sauce, it will be delicious in winter.

There’s nothing better than eating this.”

Lisko introduced it to her.

Lisko was eating the red oil pot, while Megan was not used to chili peppers, so she ate the clear soup. The clear soup was made from mushroom soup and was delicious. After drinking it, the whole body was warmed, and the coldness of winter was dispelled.

While Lisko was eating by himself, he was rinsing Megan. He watched her exclaim as she tried the taste of different foods.

After blanching the tofu in the soup pot, it gained a little more flavor. Meghan kept eating, and almost all the vegetables and tofu went into her stomach.

Dessert after the meal is Guiling paste. The hot pot restaurant combines this slightly bitter health product with other things to make a delicious dessert.

"This is a kind of dessert. It is mainly made of eagle-billed turtle and Smilax cocos as raw materials, and is refined with rehmannia and other medicines. Because the hot pot we just ate was very hot, this kind of food can remove heat and dampness, nourish the skin and refresh the mind.

"This is the combination of yin and yang in Chinese culture." Liske introduced it to Meghan. She would not refuse anything with beauty properties, and she was amazed by the refreshing taste.

Early in the morning, Lisko called for breakfast in the hotel. The taste of soy milk and fried dough sticks really made him nostalgic. After packing their things, they were ready to go out. Today's destination is the Great Wall, a wonder of the world with a history of more than 2,000 years in China.

.

The Jinshanling Great Wall lies across the Yanshan Branch at the junction of LP County, CD City, HEB Province and Miyun District, Beijing. It is connected to the Simatai Great Wall to the east and the Gubeikou Great Wall to the west. It is located at the intersection of Beijing, Tianjin, Liaoning and Inner Mongolia.

The Great Wall of Mountains is located at 133 kilometers of National Highway 101, 130 kilometers from downtown BJ, 90 kilometers from Chengde Summer Resort, and 200 kilometers from Mulan Paddock. It is an important part of the golden tourist route in northern Beijing.

After a two-hour journey, Li Ke and Megan finally arrived after a 130-kilometer journey. Jinshanling Great Wall is the Great Wall scenic spot for insiders. There are no crowded viewing spots here. You can climb the Great Wall, appreciate maple leaves, and watch the sunset.

, you can experience everything here at once.

Autumn has passed, and Beijing is still a little cold in the morning. Walking on the city wall, the breath you exhale turns into mist. Lisko wraps Megan up in a down jacket and scarf, and the two begin their journey to the Great Wall.

Magnificent, golden mountains and seas of clouds, twists and turns, looming heights, majestic momentum, ups and downs, majestic situations... All the words Lisko could think of about the Great Wall can be used here, and the Jinshanling Great Wall gave him far more than

The peak - Wuling Mountain, the sparkling Miyun Reservoir and Simatai Reservoir can be easily seen.

Liske had never been here before. When he truly appreciated the scenery here, he realized that all his impressions of the Great Wall were completely refreshed. He had watched it on TV and in movies too many times. Only when you are here do you feel

own insignificance.

There were still some golden maple leaves left on the branches, stubbornly resisting the invasion of nature's changing seasons. Lisko reached out to catch a slowly spinning maple leaf, carefully put it away, and planned to go back and make a souvenir.

The rising sun rises from the distant mountains and casts a golden coat on the ancient city wall, making it even more primitive and mysterious. Lisko stroked the wall tiles and marveled at the high-end skills and hard work of the ancients.

"It's so beautiful." Meghan was already staring at it. She took off her gloves and took out her camera to take pictures.

"This place is so beautiful. I can't imagine that this was founded two thousand years ago. China is so great and mysterious."

There are many European and American tourists carrying oversized luggage and wearing shorts and short sleeves in the city roads. Most of these people are British. The Great Wall is the British’s favorite tourist attraction in China. Lisko forgot when he read the report, saying that there was
