Smart Industrial Empire

At 11:30 noon, Yun Fei greeted Ni Lishuang and drove to the city alone.

After going around several times, I found the Erba restaurant that Bao Qi mentioned in a small alley not far from Tianfu Square.

A very ordinary restaurant that can be seen everywhere in Chengdu.However, from the outside, it looks like an ordinary restaurant that can no longer be ordinary, judging from the crowded guests, it is not as ordinary as its appearance and name.

Backed the car out of the alley, parked on the side of the road outside the alley, and ran to the door of the small restaurant to look inside.

It was time for dinner, and there were four small Eight Immortals tables in the small shop, and there was not even a single vacant seat.

"Is this guy playing me like a monkey?" None of the four tables were fully packed, and there was not a single waiter in the crowded hall, and many people who couldn't find a seat consciously lined up loosely outside. The formation waits, and as soon as someone leaves, the person in front of the line will automatically fill that position.Whether it is the people eating inside or the people waiting in line outside to eat, there is a strange sense of satisfaction on their faces.

The people eating inside eat very slowly, as if they are eating some delicacies from mountains and seas, enjoying it all over their faces; the people waiting outside are talking in low voices with the people in the front, back, left, and right.No one rushing the slow eaters inside.

Yun Fei was very curious. In this day and age, people in Rongcheng would take the initiative to line up when there was no one to maintain order, and their voices were not loud when they talked.In the entire hall, there is only one middle-aged waitress who is in charge of ordering and serving food. It seems that the woman's legs still have some problems.

There is no common loud noise at the Chinese dining table, and there is no interchanging of cups and cups. It seems, as if, that there is not even alcohol in this shop!

Yunfei thought that Bao Qi hadn't brought it yet.As a result, I saw a few middle-aged gentle men in suits but no ties walking towards the store without any vacancies, and then passed through the wall that looked flawless from the outside, and then disappeared. , There is a hole in the sky in this small shop.

Since Bao Qi called to invite him to eat in this mysterious little shop, he didn't pick him up outside the door, Yun Fei thought for three seconds, then walked towards the inside.

When he walked to the wall, Yun Fei realized that the outside looked like a whole wall.It's just a porch that uses the principle of broken lines of light to deceive people.Behind the entrance is a thick solid wooden staircase with a width of more than one meter. When people step on it, there is no sound.

"I thought you wouldn't come in after seeing the situation outside..." Yun Fei just turned around the entrance, when Bao Qi with a calm face appeared in front of Yun Fei.

"Why did you find such a place?" The two exchanged casual greetings as if they were old friends, as if Bao Qi was no longer the president of ICBC Rongcheng Branch, and Yun Fei was no longer the boss of Jiuyi Heavy Industry.The two of them are just the most ordinary old friends.

"In Rongcheng, a city full of delicious food, is there any place where delicious food can't be found?" Bao Qi took Yun Fei to the private room inside.While explaining to Yun Fei.

Rongcheng is a city of eating, drinking and having fun. Although it has not yet reached the level where catering accounts for a large proportion of the city's income, nor has it reached the level where you don't want to leave once you come, but it has a leisurely and slow pace.Perhaps it has become the mainstream of the entire city since the city was built thousands of years ago.

At the entrance on the second floor, a skinny old man with a wrinkled face who was at least in his 70s was dozing off with his eyes squinted.Beside the old man, there was a crutch with metallic luster.The old man seemed to sense the presence of the two of them, and opened his cloudy eyes.Seeing Yun Fei was a lot of fun, and then continued to squint and doze off.The old man didn't even look at Bao Qi next to Yun Fei.

all of these.All revealed weirdness.

"In ICBC, you won't get a penny loan anymore. I guess you can't get a loan in other banks, not even a penny." After being seated, Bao Qi poured tea for Yun Fei, Said lightly.

"Understood..." Yun Fei, whose face instantly became extremely gloomy, thought for a while, and then replied to Bao Qi equally lightly.

"Drinking tea, not only the food tastes good here, but the tea is also good. I don't think you can find a better place in Rongcheng." Bao Qi picked up the teacup not much bigger than his thumb and pointed at Yun Fei. After making a gesture, he savored it carefully.

There is an indescribable smell in the air, not fragrant, not smelly, or just tasteless.Yun Fei picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and realized that although it had the color of tea, it didn't have the slightest taste of tea, not even the taste of boiled water.

There was a tasteless taste in the air and the tea was equally tasteless.With the same neck, he swallowed the tasteless tea that had just moistened his throat.

After drinking the tea, Yun Fei's restless heart gradually calmed down, as if everything in this world had nothing to do with him.

No worries, no worries, just plain and no worries.

Bao Qi didn't speak, and neither did Yun Fei.The two of them drank the tasteless tea one cup after another, but they could taste a lot of it, and waited for the food to be served with calm and enjoyment.

Yun Fei found that the private rooms on the second floor of this humble and not-so-famous Erwa Hotel, separated by screens with vicissitudes and ancient atmosphere, are the real essence of this leisure city in Rongcheng.

After waiting for almost half an hour, the pot of tea reached the bottom among the two people who were silent and indifferent, only to see a middle-aged man in his 30s with a towel on his shoulders, holding a tray in his hand, serving food to them coming.

The meal is very simple, a plate of hot and sour potato shreds, a serving of pork ribs in honey sauce, a serving of stir-fried rapeseed head, a serving of twice-cooked pork with big knife, which is the most representative of Sichuan cuisine, and a bowl of Chinese cabbage with two pieces of Chinese cabbage in the middle. broth.

When Yun Fei saw these dishes, he wanted to ask Bao Qi on the opposite side which place he was playing, but Bao Qi waved his hand to stop him.

Seeing Bao Qi like this, Yun Fei resisted the tendency to beat him up, coupled with his hunger, he could only eat silently.As soon as I ate a piece of twice-cooked pork, I found that my tongue was so hot that I couldn't move it. In the cold winter, fine beads of sweat began to appear on my head.Seeing that Bao Qi didn't laugh at his embarrassment, Yun Fei wanted to find a glass of water to rinse his mouth, only to find that the water in the huge teapot had already been drunk by the two of them.

In desperation, he could only pick up the bowl of extremely clear cabbage soup and drink it vigorously. After taking a sip, he found that his mouth seemed to be full of salt.The spiciness has not dissipated, and it is too salty, so I can only pull the rice violently.When the taste in his mouth gradually faded, he extended his chopsticks to several other dishes by a strange coincidence.After each dish entered Yun Fei's mouth, the expression on his face began to change drastically.

There is no taste of potato shreds in the hot and sour potato shreds, only the sour ones can't be sour, but not the taste of vinegar; the honey sauce ribs also have no meaty taste, so sweet that people can't feel real, but there is no ordinary sweetness. The bitter taste is just pure sweetness, sweet to the heart; the fried rapeseed head is still mushy, only bitter; although there is no trace of chili pepper in the double-cooked pork, it is so spicy. unbearable……

When Yunfei couldn't feel the taste in his mouth, he realized that the dishes on the table had already bottomed out, and he didn't know when he had eaten up the big bowl of rice in front of him.In that bowl, there was not a single piece of rice left, as if it had been licked, it was extremely clean.

Yun Fei put down the chopsticks in his hand, raised his head, only to find that Bao Qi was staring at him with a smile.

"Serve..." Seeing that the two of them had finished speaking and had finished their meal, Yun Fei, who was about to ask the waiter to pay the bill, just opened his mouth when Bao Qi covered his mouth.

"Let's go, as I said, I invite you at noon today. If you have any questions, go out and talk..." Bao Qi opened his wallet, put the only one hundred yuan bill inside on the table, and pulled Yun Fei walked outside.

The old man at the stairway was still dozing off. Bao Qi walked up to the old man, bowed to the old man, and then went downstairs gently.

"Fuck, there is such a place in Rongcheng?" Bao Qi walked very fast, and stopped to wait for Yun Fei when he reached the outside of the alley.

"This shop has always existed. Ordinary people can only eat downstairs. You should be panicking? Ask, you know everything, and you can talk endlessly. Today I am in your light..." Sitting On Yunfei's co-pilot seat, Bao Qi picked his teeth, without looking at Yunfei, and said lightly, as if he was thinking about it.

"Did you order the dishes for lunch today on purpose? Sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, salty, all the five flavors of life are alive. What are you implying to me?" There are many questions that Yun Fei wanted to ask a long time ago. There is a mystery hidden in this ordinary The little shop is so weird.

"How does the food taste?" Bao Qi didn't answer Yun Fei's question, but instead asked about Yun Fei's food.

"You still ask me about the taste of this kind of food..." Yun Fei stopped suddenly as he said this.When he first started eating, it was true that none of the dishes tasted like food. Yun Fei felt that even the food made by someone who can't cook would not be worse than this.

When it comes to the smell, I realize that the various smells that made me miserable just now have become blurred in my memory.Now, instead, I began to recall the inexplicable and unclear feeling of mixing all kinds of backs.

"I didn't order those dishes, but the old man at the stairs specially ordered the cook to cook them for you..." Bao Qi began to explain to Yun Fei some really attractive things in this mysterious Erwa restaurant. (To be continued..)
