The two fathers discussed it, and turned left into Nanning Street. The inside is full of low-rise houses, and many facades have been changed, but the appearance is much lower than the grade outside the road, and the price is also cheaper.

Both sides of the narrow street are full of small facades, and a mess of handwritten plaques are hung on the doors of each house in a mess.

The two fathers discussed it, chose a restaurant, and walked in.

The restaurant is very small, with only three tables and a small kitchen. The owner is a chubby man in his thirties with a professional smile on his face. It's like meeting long-lost relatives.

"Come on brother, come in, come in and have some tea, how many people? Come and sit here, it's spacious here. Brother, take the children to play in the park? It's a little late now, it's best to come to the park in the morning, this time I can’t finish all the projects, so I’m at a disadvantage. What should I eat? Oh, these young men, they are so big, they can eat. When I was so old, I had two big bowls of rice and four or five steamed buns. It's not a dish."

"Come on big brother, smoke. Do you want to eat something? Don't look at my small shop, I will never fool you when I make food. I am a certified chef. If you say it's not delicious, I won't pay you a penny. Take you."

Xia Maosheng smoked a cigarette on the side and said, "Where is the menu? If there is no menu, please introduce it to the boss. What are there and what can you do?"

The boss smiled and said: "This brother's accent is from Chaoyang, right? That sounds kind, I have friends from that side. My shop is small, so I don't have a whole menu. We don't have any high-end items in this small shop." If you can’t sell it, it’s just home-cooked food, home-cooked food, you can just say what you want to eat.”

Xiaowei glanced at Xia Maosheng. Xia Maosheng's accent was a big problem. Most of the accents in the Northeast could not be heard with a little attention. No one doubted that he was from the local area, but Xia Maosheng The accent sounded like it was from Liaoxi, but he didn't seem to care.

You must know that in this day and age, the market is chaotic, and it is very normal to kill and bully foreigners. When locals buy things for [-] cents, they dare to ask you for [-] yuan as soon as they hear that you are from outside. If they fail, they will be beaten.

Yang Tiebin's father also took a look at Xia Maosheng, turned his head and said to the boss: "Just get some home-cooked dishes, such as dried tofu, meat, mushu meat, five dishes, two bottles of beer, and one bowl of rice per person. It's not enough." We are asking for it."

The boss walked to the entrance of the dining room and rushed to the back kitchen and shouted: "Dried tofu, simmered meat, wood shredded meat, roasted eggplant, pickled vegetable powder, and then make a vegetable stew. Six bowls of rice. Hurry up, make it better." After that, go to the side He took two bottles of old snowflakes and put them on the table, opened the caps with a bottle opener, and asked, "Why do you still use it?"

Father Yang waved his hand and said, "It's almost there. Let's just leave it at that. It's not enough. It's a pity if there are any left."

The boss nodded, pulled a stool beside him and sat down, and said, "Boss, are you from out of town?"

Father Yang glanced at Xia Maosheng, and said: "These children are classmates in the chef class of the Cultural Palace. I am inviting the children out for a meal. We have them everywhere. It is fate to meet together. This In the past few years, with many friends and multiple paths, no one knows who can be used in the future."

The boss nodded and said: "Brother, that's right. The little brothers are all chefs? My chef is also from there. The teachers are all Liu Jingxian's apprentices, and the teaching is pretty good. Try it The taste of my dish is definitely not bad, even if my shop is small, otherwise I would have to sell dozens or even hundreds of them."

Xiaowei said: "Then why don't you open a big one? I see that the sales on the street outside are pretty good."

The boss said: "I can't rent a house. The location of the hotel is not good. You can see if you are free on the street? Besides, the cost of rent, decoration, and taxes is too high. It's better to get a In this small shop, you save me and earn money, so you don’t have to be so tired.”

After a pause, the boss said again: "By the way, you don't care what you eat over there, right? From then on, you will come here to eat every day, and I will make it for you when the time comes. I will definitely give you a discount. Just let me know what you want to eat the day before. Sometimes you bring your classmates here, and there are many people eating, and I will add some food for you when it is over."

There was a shout from the kitchen, and the boss went out and brought in the food, served it to several people, and asked, "Do you want garlic, a single-headed purple garlic?" He said and put the rice vinegar bottle on the table. For the dividing line, go east to eat white vinegar, and go west to eat rice vinegar.

He just set up a small shop in his own house, no waiter was invited, and one person was busy inside and outside.During this period, the market was not regulated, that is, the era of self-management profiteering. There were many small shops like this, robbing people from expensive big shops. In the late 90s, when the market was rectified and profits were suppressed, such small shops lost their living space. slowly disappeared.

Yang Tiebin's father shook his head, and Li Guangzhao's father said: "Take a few, I'm going to catch a cold these days, so eat some garlic tops. Does the boss have tea? I'll chew some to get rid of the smell."

The boss nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I'll get it for you. I don't have any good tea here, just jasmine, and you'll make do with it. Then you're eating some vinegar. If you have a cold, I'll get you some white vinegar." He ran to the kitchen and brought some heads of garlic and a bottle of white vinegar over in a short while.

Putting down the bottle of vinegar, the boss smoked around again, sat down and said, "What about you guys, anyway, you have to eat every day, so if you bring some people over, you can save yourself some money, right?"

Xiaowei poured some white vinegar for himself, and said with a smile: "Then you can't talk about my place. My home is in the Nanhu area, the electric power community. Today is the first day that the classmates meet, so let's join in the fun. I have to go home later. Eat, my daughter-in-law can't do it alone at home."

The boss was stunned for a moment, smiled, and said, "Then you go back at noon? Your wife stays at home when she doesn't go to work? Look at you, you are not very old, do you have a wife?"

Xiaowei said: "I'm not married yet. My wife is studying at Northeast Institute of Technology, she graduated and got married. I have to eat out at noon, and it's troublesome to run back and forth. My wife eats in the cafeteria at noon."

The boss immediately felt a little awe-inspiring, and handed Xiaowei a cigarette to light the fire, and said, "Okay, brother, you are hiding your secrets, then your wife will be very powerful in the future. Northeast Institute of Technology, you will come out Cadres, the starting point is not low. There are some engineering colleges in our province, and the status of alumni is quite useful."

Both Li Guangzhao and Yang Tiebin looked at Xiaowei, and even Xia Maosheng, who seemed to be indifferent all the time, turned his head to look at Xiaowei and said, "Okay buddy, you're amazing."

Both Li Guangzhao's and Yang Tiebin's fathers raised their glasses and said, "Come here, Xiao Zhang, you have to go, you kid can do it, you can't forget Xiao Guang (Tie Zi) when you have a bright future, come here, take a glass, say anything Gotta make one."

The boss stood up and handed over a glass. Xiaowei had no choice but to ask Li Guangzhao's father to pour him a glass of beer.

Drinking cups are popular in the Northeast during this period, that is, the liquor is produced as a glass, and the wine is filled with a glass. Just open the lid and drink directly, a glass of three or four.Wash the glass after drinking and it will become a real glass, which is usually the case in restaurants.

Everyone made a fuss, poured beer, dragged Xiaowei to do it, made Xiaowei blush, drinking is really inherited, if you can't drink it, you can't drink it, what do you say? It’s bullshit, no matter how much you practice, it’s only one cup that turns into two cups. I’ve never seen someone who can go from one or two to one catty after practicing.
