Chapter 347 Affordable Northeastern Food

The two of them hugged each other like this, walked through the streets, crossed the intersection, and entered the small alley that the lady at the front desk mentioned. There are no lighting facilities in the alley, so they can only walk in the dark. Fortunately, deep in the alley ahead, there is a yellow light sign, which points out the direction for Qiao Ruida and the two of them.

"The place where the light sign is located is what the front desk lady said is Zhao's home cooking, right?" Du Qingqing pointed to the light sign in front and asked.

"It should be it. This place is really secretive. If we hadn't asked someone for directions, we would have never found it."

As we got closer, we could already see clearly the words on the light sign, which were the words "Zhao's Home Cooking". The place where the light sign is hung is a bungalow with blue bricks and red tiles, wooden doors and windows, and it looks very old. It was already November, and the temperature at night was already very low. Perhaps to keep warm, the wooden door of the restaurant was closed, but there was a white light peeking out from inside, so it should still be open for business. The two of them walked to the restaurant, and Qiao Ruida reached out and pushed open the wooden door. Perhaps there was some malfunction in the lotus leaf, and when she opened the door, she made a harsh "squeak" sound.

Qiao Ruida and Du Qingqing walked into the small restaurant. The area inside was only about 40 to 50 square meters. There was a service desk opposite the door, but there was no one at the service desk at this time. Against the wall, there is a shelf with some liquor, beer, drinks, cigarettes and the like. There are about a dozen tables on both sides of the service desk, with some plastic stools scattered around. This is where guests eat. There were no customers or waiters in the restaurant at this time. Maybe it was too late or maybe it was too remote and no one came to eat. On the right side of the restaurant, towards the inside, there is a door open on the wall. It should be a kitchen or something like that. Through the glass, you can also see a corner of the cabinet.

"Hey, the lights are on in this restaurant. Why is there no one there? Where are the boss and the waiters?" Du Qingqing asked with some confusion.

"Maybe I was watching TV in the kitchen, and I heard the sound of the TV. Is there anyone in the store, boss, here for business!"

Following Qiao Ruida's two shouts, a man's voice came from the kitchen, "Come on, come on, you two, please sit down wherever you like, Daya, make a pot of tea for the guests!"

As he spoke, a burly, ordinary-looking middle-aged man opened the kitchen door, walked out, and continued to ask: "You two, what do you want to eat?"

Qiao Ruida took Du Qingqing, found a seat by the window and sat down, and asked, "Don't you have a menu here?"

"I'm really sorry. We are a home-cooked restaurant here. We have limited ingredients and can't cook many dishes, so we don't have a menu. You can take a look at the whiteboard on the wall over there. It has the names and prices of the dishes. Our store can All the dishes are on top." The middle-aged boss smiled apologetically and pointed to the wall inside the shop.

Qiao Ruida followed the boss's instructions and looked at the wall inside. There was a small whiteboard about two meters long and one meter wide hanging on it, with more than a dozen dish names sparsely written in black pen on it. Behind the name, the price of the dish is also marked. If you look carefully, you can still see some traces of alteration on the names of these dishes. It seems that this small shop often needs to change the list of dishes according to the different ingredients prepared.

"Three delicacies from the ground: 5 yuan, chicken stewed with mushrooms: 7 yuan, goose stewed in iron pot: 15 yuan, gaba pot: 10 yuan, pork stewed with vermicelli 10 yuan, pork slices 9 yuan, these dishes are not expensive. Qingqing, what do you want to eat?" Qiao Ruida didn't order immediately, but asked her girlfriend for her opinion.

"Let's have a local three delicacies and a chicken stewed with mushrooms. I have long heard that the chicken stewed with mushrooms in the Northeast is the most authentic and tastes particularly good. I just want to try it today." Du Qingqing randomly ordered two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian. , all famous Northeastern dishes.

"Add another goose stewed in an iron pot and two bowls of rice. I heard that the portions of Northeastern cuisine are very generous. I think three dishes should be enough for the two of us." Qiao Ruida was afraid that it would not be enough, so she added another goose stewed in an iron pot.

"Well, young man, the portion of this goose stewed in an iron pot is not ordinary, but extremely large. Just this one dish cannot be eaten by the two of you. Do you think you should order one or two less dishes to avoid wasting it?" Otherwise, the Northeastern people are honest. This middle-aged boss actually persuaded the guests to order less dishes to avoid waste. This is simply impossible in other parts of China.

"Boss, just do it. We have some colleagues who will come over for dinner later. Don't worry that the portions are too big to be eaten."

"Okay, please wait a moment. I'll go to the kitchen and start cooking." After hearing what Qiao Ruida said, the middle-aged boss gave up persuading and went to the kitchen to cook.

At the same time, a little girl with braids walked out of the kitchen, carrying a stainless steel teapot, walked to Qiao Ruida's table, and placed the teapot on the dining table, "Brother, sister, please use Tea."

"Thank you, little sister, but you only have teapots and no teacups here. How can we drink tea?" Du Qingqing glanced around the restaurant and couldn't find where the teacups were. He could only ask this person the waitress asked.

"Oh, I almost forgot. All the teacups and tableware have been washed and disinfected in the kitchen. I'm going to get you two teacups." The little girl stuck out her tongue and ran back to the kitchen. After a while, two glasses were brought up.

Du Qingqing took the cup from the little girl's hand, scalded it with tea, then filled it up, pushed one cup in front of Qiao Ruida, and said: "The temperature here in the Northeast is really low, especially at night, so wear thick sweaters. I can’t bear it anymore. Reda, have a cup of hot tea and warm yourself up.”

Qiao Ruida held the teacup in her hands and said: "We have just entered Liao Province, and the temperature has only dropped four to five degrees. The really cold place is still behind. I heard that over the Mohe River, it is already more than ten degrees below zero, and there is heavy snow. After two games, it was really cold.”

"It's only November, and winter has just entered, and it's more than ten degrees below zero. Then in December and January, the coldest months, how low does the temperature have to be?" Du Qingqing has never been to the Northeast, and is not familiar with the cold winter here. I had no idea at all, so I couldn't help but ask. "The coldest time in Mohe is January, with the average temperature around -11°C. In extreme cases, it is common to drop to -26 or 11°C. Under that kind of extreme cold, humans, especially those of us living in warm zones It is difficult for people to adapt and they are prone to frostbite. This is why we chose to go to Mohe for winter testing of new cars in the early winter of November." Qiao Ruida took a sip of hot tea and patiently educated Du Qingqing on this knowledge. He also read it from books. He had never experienced how cold Mohe's winter was.

The boss acted very quickly, and in just ten minutes, three dishes were served one after another. It was also after seeing these three dishes that Qiao Ruida finally understood how generous the portions of Northeastern cuisine are. In other places, when you go to a restaurant to eat, the dishes are all served on a plate. It looks large, but in fact the quantity is not much. In the Northeast, the dishes are all served in small stainless steel pots, such as ground fresh vegetables and chicken stewed with mushrooms. The full small pots are simple and affordable, and the aroma is fragrant. They are very appetizing at first sight. The goose stewed in an iron pot worth 15 yuan is even more exaggerated. It is actually installed in a stainless steel basin the size of a basin. Except for a few potatoes and lettuce, the rest is just pieces of goose meat and thick soup. , looking at the weight, it weighs at least ten kilograms. No wonder the boss said that the goose stewed in an iron pot is too much for two people to eat. The whole goose stewed in it is enough for at least eight people at a table. Fortunately, while waiting for the food to be served, Fu Xiaoyi and others who were traveling with the convoy also came over one after another. From afternoon to now, the convoy has been on the road and no one has had dinner. FX City is too deserted. There is only this small restaurant open near the Bohai Hotel, so everyone comes here to look for food. With so many people here, you don’t have to worry about not being able to eat the goose stewed in the iron pot.

"Little sister, can you bring us some empty pots? The goose stewed in an iron pot is too big for the two of us to eat, so we thought we would share some with other colleagues." Qiao Ruida stopped after delivering the food and was walking back. The little girl who left the kitchen said.

"Okay, little brother, I'll get it for you right now." The little girl with twin ponytails agreed and walked into the kitchen after agreeing. In a short time, she came out with three small stainless steel basins. At the same time, there was also a spoon for serving dishes, which was quite thoughtful.

"Thank you, little sister." Qiao Ruida took the small basin and spoon, took out more than half of the goose stewed in the iron pot, and gave it to colleagues sitting at other tables, and said, "Everyone, come and try this authentic iron pot. The smell of stewed goose smells quite good.”

"Thank you, Mr. Qiao!"

"This is the big goose stewed in an iron pot that costs fifteen yuan on the menu. It's too much."

"With such a big pot of vegetables, I'm afraid the whole goose will be stewed in it, but we fellow Northeasterners are really honest."

"Waiter, bring us a bottle of Erguotou. Such a good dish, just enough for two cups."

There were more than twenty people sitting in the small restaurant, and only a few people from the logistics team responsible for vehicle maintenance and charging did not come. As soon as there were more people, the atmosphere naturally became lively. People were drinking, eating, and chatting. It was very lively. It was late at night, so many customers came, and all they ordered were hard dishes. The boss and his daughter were also very happy. The sound of cooking in the kitchen never stopped, and the little girl was busy serving food to the guests. Tea, food and simple smiles warmed the whole winter.

The food in this restaurant, despite its poor appearance, is very particular about the ingredients used. The chickens are real three-yellow chickens instead of broilers, the mushrooms are hazelnut mushrooms, and even the meat from the goose is delicious. The particularly strong flavor should come from the free-range geese raised by farmers. With good ingredients and decent cooking skills, the taste of the dishes will certainly be the same. Qiao Ruida and Du Qingqing opened their bellies and ate happily. In the end, they couldn't eat any more and gave up.

When everyone finally finished eating and settled the bill, the boss only charged 350 yuan. On average, it was a little more than yuan per person, which was really a great deal.

After driving for a long time during the day, Qiao Ruida and Du Qingqing were both very tired. After returning to the hotel, they washed up hastily and went to sleep early. Fu Xiaoyi and the few people in charge of video shooting and editing had a hard time. They had to work overtime to edit the video material shot during the day and publish it online to warm up the publicity of the new car that was about to be launched.

The next morning, everyone got up early and bought some snacks such as soy milk, fried dough sticks, and steamed buns for breakfast at a nearby breakfast stall. At eight o'clock in the morning, the convoy set off on time and continued driving north along the highway.

There were more people watching the live broadcast today, with 400 million people online as soon as it started, and the highest number of 700 million people at noon. Today's live broadcast has also made some adjustments. In addition to introducing the configuration and performance of the sports car, it also includes shooting and explanation of the scenery along the way. When passing some famous scenic spots and historic sites, the convoy will also stop and go around the scenic spots in the name of rest. In this way, this live broadcast room becomes more like a travel live broadcast, its appeal is greatly increased, and the number of people online continues to increase dramatically.

When we stopped for lunch, we were unable to catch up with the city, and there was no restaurant in the service area. The team had to make a fire to cook their own meals. Fortunately, we had anticipated this situation before setting off. We brought a lot of vegetables and rice in the car, and there were also a lot of various meats stored in the refrigerator of the RV. With these reserves, a group of more than thirty people can have enough food for ten and a half days without any problem.

The people in the logistics support team were cooking and cooking in the RV, while the rest were free to move around and just make sure to return to the team before eating. Traveling long distances by car is actually very tiring. The space for movement in the car is too small, the posture is always sitting, and the blood flow is not smooth. Over time, you will feel uncomfortable. As a driver, you should always pay attention to the road conditions and concentrate on driving, as you will get tired more easily. Taking advantage of the cooking time, let everyone have some fun and move their hands and feet. There are only advantages and no disadvantages.

After a break at noon, the live broadcast temporarily stopped. Fu Xiaoyi put down the camera, moved his arms, and asked, "How long do we have to run until we reach Mohe?"

"There is still at least 1200 kilometers from us to Mohe. According to the current speed of our convoy, we will reach Mohe in at most two days." Qiao Ruida took out two bottles of mineral water from the glove box and handed them to Give Fu Xiaoyi a bottle, open one himself, take a sip of water, moisten his throat, and then say.

"It's okay, it's okay. There are only two days left. Just hold on and it will pass."

Although the SONY camera was portable, it weighed about ten kilograms. It was really painful for Fu Xiaoyi to carry such a big thing for several hours every day for shooting. (End of chapter)
