In the past few years, a lot of good things were unearthed from the ground of the Weiman Palace in Changchun, which Puyi had not taken away at that time. The boxes were all hung with locks, and it would be easy to open them with modern instruments, but it would destroy the blind man.

I had no choice but to invite this old man. I didn't expect that this old man was really capable. He opened the locks with just a few small iron wires and a small chisel in just one cigarette. He also said that these locks were made by himself when he was young and they were pure.

The craftsmanship left by the Manchus, no one in the world can develop except him.

"Oh? If you put it that way, he is still an expert! Experts have integrity. At such an old age, life, death and wealth are nothing to him. There must be something hidden in this brocade box.

He knows a thing or two about his secrets, but he doesn’t want to open them to us! We will set off back tomorrow, and I want to visit him personally!”

Not to mention, Yin Yang Sage is really clever. Fortunately, he left this note. After the mouse soaked in the dog soup at the Hot Spring Temple, the curse in the body was temporarily suppressed. I was afraid that his curse attack in the middle of the night would frighten Lili.

I purposely shared a room with him. He slept soundly that night and the curse did not occur. This restored him to the state he had been in the past few days. He only needed to drink some animal blood for food every day and he would be fine.

We set out on our way back home early the next morning. It was already afternoon when we drove back to Changchun. When we got home, we didn't have time to rest, so we wanted to visit the old locksmith quickly. The four of us prepared heavy gifts without stopping and went to visit him.

Mr. Zhang lives in Xinmin Hutong on the main road. Maybe this name is unfamiliar to outsiders. Now Changchun is developing very fast. The old alleys named after hutongs have long disappeared. However, when old Changchun people mention Xinmin Hutong,

But here, no one knows it, no one knows it. There is something special about this place.

In the previous dynasty, Changchun was called Xinminfu and was not the provincial capital. Jilin City was the provincial capital of Jilin. Later, in the late Qing Dynasty, because Changchun was located in the middle of Jilin Province and had convenient transportation, it was renamed Changchun, which means the four seasons are like the same.

Spring, just because the weather in Changchun is too cold in winter, people hope that the climate here is as pleasant as the distant sky.

The most prosperous street in Changchun Prefecture is called Main Street. From the Republic of China until Little Japan established its capital here, this commercial street has been developed. Main Street runs through Nanguan (Nanguan) and Changchun Station.

They are the earliest old residents in Changchun. The most prosperous alley on the main road is called Xinmin Hutong. The most prosperous stage of Xinmin Hutong was after the Japanese entered Changchun. This small alley is like the current pedestrian street.

There are shops from all walks of life on the left and right, and all the famous hotels are here, such as Hui Baozhen, Lao Han Tou, etc.... These big and time-honored brands that people are now familiar with are all originally from Xinmin.

It was founded in a hutong. The most famous one is the century-old brand "Dingfengzhen". Dingfengzhen specializes in making pastries, and the chefs were all employed by the last emperor Puyi at that time. To this day, Dingfengzhen is still a living treasure of Changchun.

The signature of this century-old brand, the pastries they make are crispy and sweet! If you have the opportunity to come to Changchun, don’t miss it.

Back to the main story, with the liberation of Changchun, the business district gradually moved to Stalin Street (now Renmin Street) on the west side, and Xinmin Hutong really gradually receded from the historical stage. Finally, even Dingfengzhen moved to the main street.
