Chapter 187 Do you have confidence?
The current Taoranting still belongs to the outer city. It was the 52th district when it was first liberated, and it was merged with the outer th district to form Qianmen District in .

The well-known Temple of Heaven and Temple of Agriculture are located in the outer city, distributed on the east and west sides of Yongdingmen Street. In addition, there are the Temple of the Sun, the Temple of the Moon, and the Temple of Earth, a total of five altars, arranged according to the five elements and surrounding the Forbidden City.

The Temple of Earth is probably known to many people because of Shi Tiesheng's book "I and the Temple of Earth", but few people know about the Temple of the Sun and the Temple of the Moon.
Alexei, with a full belly, paced back and forth, swaying left and right, and left the place with satisfaction.

"Hiccup," Alexei said carelessly, holding a toothpick in his mouth and with his arms open, "De, are you going to Taoranting to see the snow this afternoon?"

Wang Deming quietly took two steps to the left, looked at him sideways, and said nothing. "If I give you a pair of big gold chains, you will be no different from the big brother from Northeast China in your previous life!"

Diana also moved a few steps towards Wang Deming, away from Alexei, and fanned the air in front of her nose with her hand, saying disdainfully: "Don't you need to find your two followers? You don't understand literature, why are you going with us?"

Alexey ate a lot of garlic at noon.
"Burp," Alexei burped again, and a biochemical attack with a garlic smell came again. Wang Deming and Diana stepped back at the same time.
“It’s because I don’t understand literature that I want to stay with you and continue to be influenced by it!” After saying that, he took two steps forward and burped again.

Wang Deming couldn't stand it anymore. He held his breath and stepped back again. He couldn't help but ridicule him: "You are not the one being influenced now! You are f*cking instigating both of us."

Diana did the same. She stepped back and clasped her hands together. "I beg you, today you should let your two followers be influenced by you and let me go."

Alexey finally realized the problem and scratched his head in embarrassment, "If you eat meat without garlic, the taste will be half as good!"

"Wouldn't it be even if you two ate garlic together at noon?"

Wang Deming was dumbfounded. You want to chase a goddess like this? You already look like a bear, which is very ugly. You might even become bald someday, which makes people dislike you.

As a result, when you were having dinner with your goddess, you ate garlic crazily without any scruples. Didn't you think about the follow-up? Or did you know in your heart that you had no hope at all?

So that's why you just throw the jar into the air?
"Alexei!" Diana couldn't help but yell, "You idiot!"

"Don't you know that when there are ladies around, you should at least ask politely if you can eat garlic?"

Alexei murmured in defense, "But my mother never said that."

Diana was completely speechless and waved her hands at him, "Then you will know today. So don't follow me and De, go back and drink with your followers."

"OK then"

The three of them returned to Xiaoshun Hutong the same way they came, and just as they turned in from Xianyukou, they ran into Wu Dinghuan.

"Deming, I finally got you!" Wu Dinghuan stamped his feet anxiously, "Come with me to Qinlao Hutong."

"I don't know which god from the Ministry of Health came today? He said we shouldn't give Chinese medicine to Soviet comrades and ordered us to stop immediately!"

Wang Deming frowned when he heard this. What's going on with the Ministry of Health? It's obviously a good thing, why do they want to stop it?

Diana was keenly aware of what was happening and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Alas, I'm afraid I can't accompany you to Taoranting to see the snow this afternoon." Wang Deming sighed and said regretfully, "Some people from the Chinese health department went to Qinlao Hutong for inspection today. They said that it was not legal for us to give your Soviet comrades Chinese medicine and acupuncture to regulate their bodies, so they have stopped us."

"What?" Diana was surprised at first, then she thought for a few seconds and said firmly: "I'll go with you to take a look."

"I'll go too!" Alexei quickly followed suit. Wang Deming rode a phoenix-shaped carriage carrying Diana and disappeared in a moment; Wu Dinghuan carried Alexei, whose legs were almost dragging on the ground, and grunted.
Alexie was so anxious that Diana was nowhere to be seen. He yelled, "Let me take over!"

Unfortunately, Wu Dinghuan didn't understand and thought that the Soviet friend behind him saw that he was too tired from riding. "No, it's okay. I can do it."

After a few irrelevant words between the two, Alexi simply put his feet on the ground, used his feet as brakes, forced the car to stop, and forcibly snatched the bicycle away, starting to ride it himself, and finally picked up speed.

He hurried to Qinlao Hutong, jumped off his bicycle and hurried into the courtyard. As soon as Alexei approached the hanging flower gate, he heard hearty laughter from inside, "Haha, Comrade Deming, I heard that you have done something big again. Well done!"

"It not only ensures the health of Soviet comrades, but also develops a drink that suits their taste. In the future, it can be exported to the Warsaw Pact countries. Great!"

“It’s all because of the Party’s policies!”

Alexei was a little confused. Judging from the laughter, it didn't sound like there was anything wrong.

After passing through the hanging flower gate and entering the courtyard, everyone was surrounding an old man with a wide mouth, a wide nose and a straight back. Wang Deming stood beside the old man, occasionally turning his head to translate for Diana, who was very well-behaved.

"Hey, is this Soviet comrade also your friend?"

Wang Deming turned his head and said, "Yes," and waved to Alexei, "Alexei, this is our leader Peng."

"Hello, leader!" Alexei was very tactful and shook hands with the leader politely.

"Haha, great! The friendship between you young people is a symbol of the brotherly friendship between China and the Soviet Union." Leader Peng was very happy and patted Alexei's hand. "I went to Moscow this year and met with Comrade Stalin and had a very pleasant conversation with Comrade Molotov."

"I must thank you for leaving Moscow and traveling thousands of miles to Beijing to support and participate in China's construction. I also hope that you can convey this letter of thanks to the comrades who came with you."

Alexei didn't dare to look up, he bent his waist and said politely: It's my duty.

"Hey, young comrade, don't be so reserved. Stand up straight and talk."

Diana chuckled, and Wang Deming explained with a smile: "We had Shaomai at Duyichu for lunch, and Alexi ate too much garlic, probably because he was worried about bumping into you."

"Haha." Leader Peng laughed heartily and patted Alexei on the shoulder. "What's the big deal? Garlic is the flavor of meat."

Then Leader Peng walked towards the third courtyard and instructed: "Comrade Deming, now that we have made a good start, we must expand the scale."

"Now that the Soviet comrades who came to Beijing to support construction like Chinese medicine so much, the comrades who will come to support construction in various parts of the country in the future will definitely like it too."

"You must shoulder greater responsibilities and make sure that Soviet comrades feel the warmth of home. Bring the experience here to all parts of the country and form a health care team to serve Soviet comrades."

Then he turned around and asked with a smile on his face, "How is it? Comrade Deming, do you have confidence?"

"Have!"

"Haha, good, we Communists should have this kind of enthusiasm!" Leader Peng patted Wang Deming on the shoulder affectionately and asked with concern: "Comrade Deming, last time at the Chinese Medicine Factory, did you need any support? How about this time?"
