Ten years as a substitute!Now that she leaves, she regrets it too much

After Jiang An and Lin Xixi entered the store, they felt a little incredible when they saw the crowd of customers inside.

"Why are there so many people in the hotel?"

I have never seen a small restaurant with so many people before.

Lin Xixi was particularly curious about the situation. There were many small restaurants like this in Shanghai.

Although there are people coming and going, I have never seen so many people together.

"I guess most of them are tourists from the south."

Shen An feels that small restaurants like this are generally very famous, but they are only limited to local diners.

"And if a small restaurant like this wants to become famous locally, time is of the essence. Some require ten or even decades of quality assurance."

"So if you think about it, even if it is a delicious restaurant, after more than ten years, the guests are familiar with it, so there should not be so many people."

Just after he finished speaking, before Lin Xixi could agree, a big brother looked at him and said, "Brother, what you said is wrong. Judging from the way you are dressed, you must have come from other places."

"You don't know, you who eat here must be the first group of outsiders in recent times."

"The first group?"

Jiang An was stunned. The local tourism industry was so popular right now, and everywhere was crowded, like this famous shabu-shabu restaurant.

Will there be any out-of-town guests?

"Not really."

The elder brother smiled: "The people who eat here are all locals. Look, there are people wearing slippers over there. If they are outsiders, can they withstand the winter in the north?"

"indeed."

Shen An nodded, but he didn't understand why this happened.

"Of course it's because my store is too small and it doesn't meet the requirements of those customers."

At this moment, an old man in his 70s or 80s walked out of it. Although he looked very old, he was energetic and in good health.

If this were not the case, there would be no way he would still be working in the store so late at night.

"Old Chen, hurry up and go eat. I'm still waiting for you to come to a place for me to let the guests who have reserved tables come over."

Booking a table?

When Jiang An heard this, he couldn't help being a little stunned, and he glanced at Lin Xixi and knew that the little girl must have the same idea as him.

It would be too embarrassing if the old man mentioned that the guests who booked the table were them.

Although they didn't say anything, it was as if the old man had read through their thoughts and said, "Are you the guests that Miss Chen mentioned?"

"Don't worry, I'm not talking about you."

"follow me!"

The old man speaks with a loud voice, but it’s not his fault. The first is that he is old. If he doesn’t speak at the top of his voice, he won’t have the strength to keep up.

Then there are too many customers in the store, and they are noisy. If you don't call, you will come.

I couldn't hear what he was saying at all, I could only see his mouth moving.

Following the old man's footsteps, Lin Xixi and Jiang An cautiously entered the store.

You really need to be careful, because not only are the aisles here narrow, but you also have to avoid people who may pop out from behind you at any time to serve food.

Not only that, there was actually a table of guests sitting there eating in this corridor.

Jiang An could tell how popular it was, but this environment...

Of course he didn't care, he was mainly worried that Lin Xixi wouldn't be able to adapt.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xixi looked excited at this moment, as if everything here was very attractive to her.

"Teacher Jiang, this is so down-to-earth, right?"

"I think it's completely different from the one in Magic City!"

"That's true, be careful!"

While Jiang An was talking, Lin Xixi almost bumped into a box. It was the kind of plastic box specially used to hold drinks. If she hit it, she would definitely get bruises.

"Come on, this is it!"

Following the old man almost through the house, they came to the innermost door. The old man took out the key and opened it. Surprisingly, it was his home.

"this is……"

Jiang An was a little confused, and Lin Xixi was also stunned.

But the old man led them inside very simply: "This is my home, with the shop in front and my home in the back; Xiao Chen and I have a good relationship."

"I also said that you are important guests, so let's have a meal here today."    "The taste is guaranteed to be the same."

The old man is so enthusiastic, what else can Jiang An and Lin Xixi say?

The two of them could only go in, but when asked if they wanted to change shoes, the old man smiled and said, "Why don't you bother yourself so much? Why are you changing shoes?"

"Just go in. It's just like your own home. I've asked my son to prepare it for you."

"Don't worry, we'll treat you to this meal!"

"That won't work!"

Jiang An hurriedly called the old man to stop. It was already very troublesome for them to eat at someone else's house today. How could they feel better if they didn't ask for money.

But the old man's attitude was very firm: "What are you doing!"

"You said we're treating you, so that's our treat."

"Sit down quickly!"

"Little calf, the guests are here! Hurry up and put the table away, everything is put on it."

The old man shouted, and he heard a young man inside agree and come out: "Hello, welcome to my hometown."

"Don't talk nonsense."

The old man yelled, then turned around and left: "I'll leave the house to you, be sure to take good care of it."

"I still have something to do here, and I need someone to take care of me in front of me."

……

After Jiang An and Lin Xixi sat down in the room, the tripe-shabu pot on the dinner table was also boiled.

Looking at the bright red bottom of the pot, which was full of seasonings, Lin Xiaoxi almost drooled.

But now is not the time to take action.

The uncle's son said: "The difference between our family's Shabu-shabu and other people's is that they usually have money tripe, hairy tripe and beef tripe."

"But in addition to these, our family also has sheep tripe, chicken tripe, and the most precious tripe collar!"

Belly collar? !

Jiang An's eyes lit up when he heard this. He hadn't eaten this kind of good food in Shanghai for a long time. Because the belly collar itself is fat, it is not suitable for the taste of southerners.

Naturally, they are rare. In addition, Jiang An himself is not a foodie, so it is impossible to spare time every day to make these.

So he never had it in these years.

The texture and taste of belly collar only remain in Jiang An's memory.

Seeing his change, Lin Xixi became even more curious about what a belly collar was: "How come I've never seen one before?"

"Let me tell you, the belly collar is actually the bulge on the tripe. There is only a small piece on the entire tripe."

"This is very precious."

As Jiang An spoke, his eyes wandered around the table: "Yes! That's it!"

When Jiang An brought the plate over, he couldn't control himself. This is the taste of his hometown.

"Look, this is it."

But the problem is that Jiang An was talking lively, but Lin Xixi got a little excited after seeing the fat on her belly collar.

"Teacher Jiang, are you sure this thing is really edible?"

"Or can I bear it?"

As a professional foodie, although Lin Xixi has no taboos, she is also very restrained when it comes to these overly fatty foods.

After all, eating too much will make your body uncomfortable.

As a beauty, you have some small demands, but this is not too much.

"Don't worry, beauty."

There was no need for Jiang An to speak. The old man's son vowed: "You can eat our belly collar. I promise you won't make a sound once you eat it."

Silent?

Isn’t it over?

The young man saw that she had misunderstood and said hurriedly: "What I mean is that if you eat our belly collar, you will definitely be able to eat it without making a sound. Although there is fat on it, our seasoning is good."

"With one bite, all the greasiness will be eliminated, leaving only the delicious taste."

"Then when you eat it, remember to eat it with dipping sauce, so that it will be more delicious."

As he spoke, the young man took the lead and put all his belly into the clay pot: "This is because the meat is thick, so it tastes better if you cook it for a while. The rest can be eaten as long as you put it in the pot."

"Excuse me, you two. I'm right over there. If you need anything, please call me." (End of Chapter)
