Chapter 75 One hundred yuan can eat up the whole street

Chapter 75 One hundred yuan can eat the whole thing

Half past six in the evening.

There are people coming and going at a small restaurant in a certain alley. This is a famous food street in Jiangnan City. People who have been busy all day gather here.

Why do you say not famous? Because most outsiders can’t find it, and many locals have never heard of it.

The popularity of short videos in recent years has led to many places where Internet celebrities check in, including gourmet restaurants.

However, Internet celebrity check-in shops that rely on hype often have to wait in line for a long time, and the taste is not necessarily authentic.

For those who are not in a hurry or are simply here for a trip, there is no harm in waiting.

But they don’t know that in fact, the most authentic and delicious food in Jiangnan City is often the fly restaurant, which is located in the old neighborhoods of Jiangnan City and hidden in the streets and alleys.

It has the feeling of being hidden in the city.

Take the alley where Officer Wang took Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei to. Even in Jiangnan City, the taste of the dishes is outstanding, but the exposure is not enough. Most of the bosses are doing neighborhood business.

Locals in Jiangnan City often like to drive here when they have friends for dinner. A group of people chat and recall the changes in Jiangnan City.

And why did Officer Wang choose to come here? Because one hundred yuan can eat up the whole street.

This sounds exaggerated, but only those who have actually been here know that it is entirely possible.

Officer Wang took his current wife to visit this street on their first date.

At Zhu Xinnian’s dim sum shop, a bowl of mini-chaos is 4 yuan for a large portion, 2 yuan for a very soft glutinous rice ball, and 3 yuan for a steamed meatball, and they must be eaten while they are hot. Officer Wang almost knows this.

Internet celebrity Begonia Cake always has a long queue. The uncle who makes the cake has a bad temper, but the cake is crispy on the outside and oily on the inside, and the bean paste is very fragrant.

For the yogurt in the store next door, the proprietress only eats the rose flavored one with a small rose on it. The rose flavor costs 15 yuan a bottle. Further ahead is the pork and bone roast, which costs 17 yuan to buy a piece of roasted bone. The meat is so big and strong.

Grandma’s Mung Bean Soup Shop sells Su-style mung bean soup for 10 yuan a cup, which is full of glutinous rice, mung beans, red and green shredded silk and candied dates.

Handmade hot and sour noodles, after being beaten, the thin noodles flow out from the funnel hole into the basin, and it only costs 18 yuan a bowl.

Many people only know that the powder can be stretched so long after seeing it with their own eyes, and it is packed in a very environmentally friendly carton.

When Police Officer Wang just started working, he took his girlfriend to eat from day to day and still had 15 yuan left.

There are no-name late-night snack stalls that line up every day. The fried chicken legs at this restaurant are 5 yuan each, and the Lily Mung Bean Soup is the taste of my grandma’s house when I was a child.

These old alleys inherit the oldest and most basic appearance of Jiangnan City.

Most of the people who come here to eat have a sense of nostalgia.

“Gu Chen, you are a new member of the third group. You can choose a hotel here.” Officer Wang gave Gu Chen the choice of hotel in an attitude of taking care of the newcomers.

“Then let’s go to this ‘Wu Ming Restaurant’.” The ‘Wu Ming Restaurant’ that Gu Chen refers to does not have a name, but the name of the restaurant is ‘Wu Ming Restaurant’, which means unknown.

“Do you also know this store?” Officer Wang looked at Gu Chen curiously and was surprised: “You know how to choose. This is opened by a descendant of the emperor’s chef, and ordinary people can’t find it.”

In his opinion, unless someone like himself has lived in Jiangnan City for decades, ordinary people would never be able to find such a place hidden away in the city.

“The boss is well-known here. He is a disabled soldier. He came here as a volunteer when he was in elementary school, and only then did he realize that his food is really delicious.”

Gu Chen didn’t hide the fact that he frequented this place. In fact, when Officer Wang drove the car to this road, Gu Chen basically knew that dinner was basically settled here.

“So you all know this?” Lu Weiwei looked puzzled. She felt that she, a foodie, would sometimes fall behind. Doesn’t it make sense?

“Sister Lu, don’t you know this place?” Gu Chen was also very curious. In his eyes, girls should be better at eating than boys.

Lu Weiwei waved her hand and said: “To be honest, I have been studying in the capital when I was a child. It was also because of my parents’ work schedule that I moved to Jiangnan City when I was in high school. But besides studying in high school, what else can I do? After the college entrance examination, I moved to Jiangnan City. I went to a police academy in another place. If I had known about this place, I would have brought my group of sisters here to sweep the streets. “

Officer Wang seems to be a host.

In the past, when everyone gathered for dinner and picked places, Lu Weiwei could always pick some places that would make you burst into tears after finishing the meal. Today, when you came to this alley, Officer Wang felt that he had escaped a bullet.

And looking at Lu Weiwei, she seemed very happy.

“Uncle Lei, long time no see.” Gu Chen walked into the store and greeted the lame middle-aged man.

“Xiao Gu? Have you returned to Jiangnan City? I haven’t seen you for a long time.” The boss came over quickly and was very enthusiastic.

“So everyone knows each other?” Officer Wang couldn’t help but said, and quickly found the C position for himself.

“Officer Wang?” The boss looked at Lu Weiwei behind him and immediately became happy: “It turns out that three police officers came today. This is quite rare. Xiao Gu must have been assigned to Furong Police Station, right?”

Because of his familiarity with Comrade Lao Wang, the boss also guessed this.

“I was assigned here just after graduation, and I haven’t been working for a month yet.” Gu Chen also said with a smile.

The boss’s name is Zhang Lei, a disabled soldier. When he was clearing mines in the southwest, his leg was broken while protecting his comrades. Now his left leg is equipped with a prosthetic leg.

After more than ten years, although walking is inconvenient, I have gotten used to it.

The first time Gu Chen met his boss was during a volunteer activity organized by the school when he was studying at Jiangnan No. 1 Primary School.

For more than ten years, Gu Chen has gathered his friends and classmates every year to come here from time to time to take care of business, so he is very familiar with the boss.

“What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll cook it for you.” The boss was also very enthusiastic.

“I want my third child. Where are you, Gu Chen?” Officer Wang asked.

“I also want my third child, Uncle Lei knows.” Gu Chen also smiled.

The boss Zhang Lei nodded and asked Lu Weiwei with the menu: “This female police officer must be here for the first time, right? What do you want to order?”

“Me?” Lu Weiwei hesitated for three seconds, scratched her face and said, “I’m just like Gu Chen, I want whatever he wants.”

“Okay, everyone, wait a minute.” The boss Zhang Lei, who had written the menu, happily walked into the kitchen.

Lu Weiwei was so excited that she quickly asked Gu Chen: “Junior brother Gu, do you know where there is a good place to eat? Let’s go eat someday.”

“Okay.” After Gu Chen learned that Lu Weiwei moved to Jiangnan City from other places, he felt like he was a host.

“Jiangnan City is called Jiangnan Food City. There are naturally many delicious places. If you take a vacation, I can take you there with me.”

“Yeah, that’s great.” Lu Weiwei was so happy that she clenched her little fists in front of her chest with excitement.

As the night gradually dimmed, people who had been busy all day began to gather here.

The courier guy, the cleaning aunt, the security guy, and the sales girl all had smiles on their faces, enjoying the rare time after hard work.

……

PS: I like this kind of old alley very much. In fact, I can find it in every city. With the development of economy and the rise of high-rise buildings, many ancient alleys are slowly disappearing. Sometimes, when I am upset, I will If you go for a walk in this alley and eat some street food, you will feel like you can go back to your childhood.
