20 years of spring breeze

Chapter 125
Xiaowei frowned and thought about it, then nodded, vaguely remembering that there seemed to be two "red lanterns" hanging at the entrance of the state-run hotel in the county town.

Ms. Zhang said: "It's not popular anymore, and there are fewer fakes. It turns out that it's a big deal for hotels to hang up fakes. They hang up on time every day, and take them off on time at night. The manager is watching on the spot. Everyone I have to go out and line up. It’s so grand. That means the business is closed. If one day I forget to pick the pan, the guests have to eat it when they enter the room. The chef is gone and the manager wants to recruit it himself. Otherwise, it will ruin the restaurant’s reputation. It's ruined."

Sister Shang said: "No, I can still get pierced. I will do it twice a year, once for Chinese New Year, and once for changing. It must be better than anyone else's piercing."

Xiaowei asked: "Why do you have to hang this up? You have to hang it up and take it off every day, what a hassle."

Sister Zhang said: "We didn't see it in the early days, but we just heard from the old man. It turns out that there were not as many things as they are now. In those days, the windows and doors had to be sealed to resist the cold, so we couldn't see inside and out. Hanging means what it does, what it sells, whether it opens or closes. It’s just that I don’t pay attention to this in these years, and the door can be opened in winter, and the big glass windows are from top to floor. How can there be such things.”

Sister Shang said: "I remember it was eight years ago, right? Eight years ago, I started to feel unrealistic."

Sister Zhang said: "No, it's just that you don't need to go back and forth to pick them every day, just hang them like that, that is, in the past few years, ordinary restaurants still hang them. The meaning is different."

Xiaowei asked, "What do you mean?"

Sister Zhang said: "Hongmin is from the Han nationality and eats pork, while Lanmin is from the Hui nationality and eats beef and mutton. When you go into Lanmin's shop and ask for a slice of meat, they will chop up your entire body with a knife." .” Sister Shang laughed on the sidelines.

Sister Zhang went on to say: "You can't hang up three, five, six or seven things. They are single, double, four, and eight. Single is a small roadside restaurant. You can eat whatever you want, and you can't order. What is there for double?" What to do, you can order food, but you have to order what he has. Si Min eats whatever you want, and cooks for you what you want. This is a serious restaurant. Otherwise, people will be smashed."

Xiaowei asked, "What about the eight people?"

Sister Zhang said: "I have never seen it. It seems that I can eat whatever I want, right? As long as you can think of it, I will make it for you. I have never heard of a few people who dare to hang up in the whole Northeast." "

Sister Shang said from the side: "There are also Shuang'an, which has two floors, which means that the store is big enough to host banquets, and door-to-door service is also available."

Sister Zhang said: "There are also patterns on the circles. The ones drawn in the shape of a prismatic shape mean that there is no credit. The ones drawn with ingots can be credited but they must be mortgaged. The ones painted with cloud patterns are free, and no mortgage is required for credit."

Xia Maosheng said: "Isn't it amazing? Four, it's equivalent to knowing at least six of the eight major cuisines, except Eastern Cantonese cuisine and Southern Fujian cuisine."

Xiaowei nodded and said, "Excellent. There are so many things to pay attention to, this is the first time I've heard of it."

While the few people were talking, An Lao Wu and Bo Zi had almost finished serving the dishes, steaming all over the table.Xiaowei shook his head to clear out the messy thoughts in his mind, raised his wine glass and said, "Come on, acquaintance is fate, let's be together, I wish our cooperation will be smooth and everyone will get rich."

Everyone raised their glasses and clinked lively. Of course, it’s not necessary to drink as much as you like, but to Xiaowei’s surprise, even Li Wen, who was afraid to speak, served the baijiu. one fifth.

After the food was served, An Lao Wu walked to the table and said: "The food is ready, eat it slowly, and give a shout when it is cold. The dumplings are made for you, and they will be served later. Xiao Xia, don't worry, let Bozi take you after eating." go there."

You eat and drink as you say, and when there are too many people, it is lively. Especially when there are too many women and dare to speak, the laughter on the table will not stop. Several men are next to each other and are led by two The eldest sister took it out and talked about it.

Li Wen is like a squirrel, holding a bone in both hands and gnawing there, without saying a word, laughing and laughing, raising a glass and clinking after drinking, two big dark eyes are rolling back and forth Looking at the person who was speaking, she kept moving her hands and mouth, halfway through her drink, there were several gnawed bare bones piled up in front of her.

Li Bing didn't make too much noise here, but he ate slowly, as if he was a bit embarrassed to grind it out. After a long time, he didn't finish gnawing a bone, so he put it in the rice bowl and poked it with chopsticks.

Xie Na had chopsticks in her right hand and bones in her left hand, and she was eating vigorously while interjecting.

Needless to say, Sister Zhang and Sister Shang, the whole table was listening to them, and they didn’t miss the meal. They picked up the bone and took a big bite, and tore it clean a few times. The skill of throwing down the bone stick is another sentence that makes people laugh. if.

Li Gengsheng was silent in the audience, eating slowly like an invisible person, and he didn't drink much, not as much as Li Wen.

Sister Zhang wiped her hands with a napkin and said, "Look at Xiaobing, why does this look like a kitten? Can you get enough to eat? Don't you like to chew on bones?"

Sister Shang said: "What, she is embarrassed to be in front of everyone, and I don't know why she is so thin-skinned. Xiao Hongliang, why don't you take care of your own wife when you pick up Xiaobing's meat? Do you still want to marry? us?"

Liu Hongliang looked at Li Bing and said with a smile: "I'm just watching from the sidelines. I'm so anxious. If I had already brought the plate over, I can't eat this bone for her, right?"

Sister Zhang picked up the small bowl in front of Li Bing and put it in front of Liu Hongliang and said, "Come on, spit out the meat here. She can just eat the meat without chewing on it. You'll get the smell of bones." Li Bing blushed, He stared at Sister Zhang and shouted, "Sister Zhang~~."

Sister Zhang leaned back and said with a smile: "Oh my god, I'm so soft, I'm so weak. No, I have to learn this trick. I'll go home at night and go out with my old Zhang so that I don't have to talk about it." I'm not gentle." Sister Zhang's husband is also surnamed Zhang.

Xie Na swallowed the meat in her mouth and said: "You can do it, Sister Zhang. If you really come home and make such an appearance, your brother-in-law will jump off the building in fright, and you don't even look at your physique." Sister Zhang is 1.7 meters five , with broad shoulders and a big frame, he looks very big, but he is not really fat. After all, he is middle-aged, so he can't compare with a little girl like Li Wen.

Liu Hongliang actually took a bone and used chopsticks to dismantle the meat, put it in Li Bing's small bowl, dismantled two bones, and handed over some soup in the small bowl, Li Bing ate it shyly.It seems that Sister Zhang is not purely joking, the two of them have that kind of meaning.

It's almost time to eat and drink. The dumplings were brought up. Sister Shang and Sister Zhang each took a bite and watched while tasting. Sister Zhang said, "Don't tell me, it's really different. They're all stuffed with sauerkraut. This one is really delicious."

　How many traditions have disappeared into history, and we happily pursue other people's traditions and celebrate other people's festivals.A friend went abroad and told me about his experience when he came back. He told me very reverently, you know?It has been there for more than 200 years, and nothing has changed. The sense of history is so exciting.I was speechless, there was a broken wall behind his house, the wall was 600 years old, he still peed on it when he was a child, I never saw him get excited. . . . . . .
