Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 32

While chatting with the audience, he walked quickly towards [Yangliu Lane]. In less than half an hour, Li Xiao arrived at the door of [Yangliu Lane].

[Yangliu Lane] Located in a small alley, it is a shop converted from a residential building.

Li Xiao turned around with the camera and was at the end of the long line. Taking advantage of the time in line, he introduced to the audience:

“[Yangliu Lane] was originally just an breakfast stall, and the founder Yang Deshun lost his job during the layoff wave that year.”

"Although the wife still has a job, there are elderly people and children in the family, so it is impossible to rely on one person to support her."

"So, Yang Deshun set up a breakfast stall in his yard. At first, he only sold porridge, noodles, and steamed stuffed buns."

"The people who come here are all neighbors. After all, it's in an alley, not a main road. Ordinary people don't know it at all."

"The business is not warm, barely earning two hard-earned money."

"The turning point came in the sixth year of Yang Deshun's opening of this breakfast restaurant, when a veteran chef who retired from a state-owned restaurant returned to his hometown."

"And the hometown of the master of the state-run restaurant is in this alley. The master's surname is Liu, and his full name is Liu Aiguo."

"Master Liu came back here and saw that Yang Deshun's breakfast shop was not warm, and he didn't intend to guide him."

"After all, at that time, their own craftsmanship was still very precious, and many people even had the habit of passing it on to their males but not their females, let alone passing it on to outsiders."

"However, on a rainy day, Master Liu accidentally fell into the alley when he was returning home from shopping for vegetables, because at that time, adults were going to work and children were also going to school."

"No one heard it at all, except Yang Deshun who was cleaning."

"Yang Deshun immediately put down what he was holding and went to help the old man up."

"What happened later became a matter of course. In order to thank Yang Deshun for saving his life, Liu Aiguo taught him most of his skills."

"However, Yang Deshun is not an ingenious person. After studying for a long time, the best one is this soup dumpling."

"So, this soup dumpling has become the signature of Yang Deshun's breakfast shop."

"Because of doing well, more and more people around know about it, and the business is getting better and better."

"Later, Master Liu was too old and passed away. Yang Deshun renamed his breakfast shop Yangliu Lane in order to commemorate the kindness of his master's inheritance, which means the story of Yang Deshun and Liu Aiguo in this alley."

Li Xiao's voice was not low, and the passengers and nearby residents who were queuing around also looked over.

One of them was an elderly man who looked like a nearby resident. It was rare to hear someone talk about the story of [Yangliu Lane], and his eyes could not help showing nostalgia.

Some young tourists only knew that the soup dumpling here was good, but they never knew that there was such a story here, and they all whispered to each other.

After queuing for a few more minutes, it was finally Li Xiao's turn.

【Yangliu Lane】Because it was remodeled from a residential building, there is a big courtyard as soon as you enter the door. At this time, the big courtyard is full of people, and there are several baskets of soup dumplings on each table.

Following the lead of the waiter brother, Li Xiao walked into the door.

【Yangliu Lane】The interior is very retro, with not much decoration, and the floor is the terrazzo floor that was popular in the past.

Terrazzo floors are durable and look great as they brighten over time.

On the left hand side of the entrance is a white wall, and the wall is covered with photos of the owner Yang Deshun and various celebrities and dignitaries. Li Xiao scanned the camera around the photo wall, and there was a burst of discussion in the live broadcast room.

"Wow, who did I see, Jay Chou, it was actually Jay Chou, Jay Chou was really thin and handsome back then!"

"Wow, the one in the upper left corner is actually the leader of our province, is that an exaggeration?"

"Wait, isn't that Zhang Tianwang?"

It's no wonder that the audience in the live broadcast room were surprised. In fact, everyone on this wall is very important.

A wall full of photos is better than any publicity.

Li Xiao also noticed that the photo in the middle of the photo wall, which was several circles larger than the other photos, was a photo of Yang Deshun and his master Liu Aiguo.

But it looks like it was painted by someone later, after all, the photography technology at that time was not so clear.

Li Xiao said to the live broadcast room

"It seems that the stories in the novel are not all groundless. In fact, many stories are only processed through a certain amount of art. These stories all have prototypes."

"Look, isn't [Yangliu Lane] just a story about a good person who gets rewarded, a hardworking person who refuses to give up, and finally gets the help of a hidden master to obtain a peerless magic?"

While speaking, Li Xiao followed the waiter to the balcony on the second floor.

[Yangliu Lane] has only two floors. The upper floor should have been four rooms, but they have all been opened up to form the same hall as the lower floor.

The balcony that was originally used has also become an open-air dining bar.

Since Li Xiao was alone, he was placed on the fence.

It’s actually a little inappropriate to say it’s a fence. In order to increase seats, [Yangliu Lane] installed a circle of wooden boards on the fence, which is a bit like a high platform for a bar.

The only difference between the two is that one is drinking and the other is eating buns.

Scan the QR code on your mobile phone to order, and the dishes here are quite rich.

In addition to soup dumplings, there are also some pasta and dumplings, as well as various styles of pastries.

However, Li Xiao didn't order these good-looking items, after all, most of them were added later to enrich the menu.

I ordered a cage of original soup dumplings for 15 yuan, a cage of crab powder soup dumplings for 80 yuan, and a cage of fresh shrimp soup dumplings for 25 yuan. The checkout payment is 120 in total.

After confirming the payment, Li Xiao shook his head and complained to the audience in the live broadcast room
"Look, I also ordered the three-cup soup dumpling [Small Crab Noodles], which cost me 500 yuan, while [Yangliu Lane] is only 120.

However, to be fair, the materials over there are indeed a bit more expensive, but they are not so outrageously expensive. Three steamed buns cost 500, which is unaffordable. "

Immediately there was contempt in the live broadcast room

"The anchor said that he couldn't afford it, and after eating the 500 yuan small crab noodles, he immediately went to eat the 120 yuan soup dumpling. My God, it's only 8:[-], and it's still breakfast time.

I ate 620 yuan for a breakfast, outrageous, really outrageous. "

"Don't say that upstairs, it's just that the anchor is getting ahead.

I am an old fan. I used to see the anchor eating more than ten yuan of snail noodles and spicy soup every day, and I felt bad for him.

Otherwise, it would be to pick up black promotions from some small shops, how could it be so bold now. "

"Eat more than a dozen yuan of snail noodles? Can't you? I've been following this for a few days, and I haven't seen any cheap meal for the anchor?"

"Hey, it's true, but at that time the anchor fans were few, now there are more fans and higher incomes, so they can show us delicious food-."
