Half past six in the evening.

A small restaurant in an alley is full of people, and this is a non-famous food street in Jiangnan City, where people gather for a busy day.

Why do you say non-famous? Because most outsiders can't find it, and there are many locals who have never heard of it.

To say that the popularity of small videos in recent years has driven many Internet celebrities to check in, including food shops.

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

For those who are not in a hurry, or who are simply traveling, it is okay to wait.

But they don't know that in fact, the original and best food in Jiangnan City is often the kind of fly restaurant, which is located in the old neighborhood of Jiangnan City, hidden in the streets and alleys everywhere.

There is quite a taste of the big hidden in the city.

Take the alley that Officer Wang brought Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei to, in Jiangnan City, the taste of the dishes is also a must, but the exposure is not enough, and most of the bosses do neighborhood business.

Locals in Jiangnan City, who often have friends for dinner, like to drive here, and a group of people talk about the world and recall the changes in Jiangnan City.

And why did Officer Wang choose to come here? Because 100 yuan can eat an entire street.

It sounds like an exaggeration, but only those who actually come here know that it's entirely possible.

Officer Wang's first date was to take his current wife to visit this street.

Zhu Xinnian's dim sum shop, 4 yuan a bowl of small chaos is so much, 2 yuan a soup ball is very soft, oil dumplings are 3 yuan a piece, and it must be eaten while it is hot, these police officers almost all know.

Internet celebrity begonia cake always queues up, and the uncle who makes the cake has a very stinky temper, but the cake is crispy on the outside and oily on the inside, and the bean paste is very fragrant.

The yogurt in the store next door, the proprietress only eats the rose flavor, there is a small rose on it, the rose flavor is 15 yuan a bottle, and then go further is the meat and bone roast, buy a piece of roast bone for 17 yuan, so the big meat is very strong.

Grandma mung bean soup shop, 10 cups of Suzhou-style mung bean soup, which is full of glutinous rice, mung beans, red and green silk and dates.

Handmade hot and sour noodles, after beating, thin noodles flow out of the funnel hole and flow into the basin, and only 18 yuan a bowl.

Many people have also seen it with their own eyes to know that the original powder can be stretched for such a long time, and it is packed in a very environmentally friendly carton.

Officer Wang, who had just joined the work, took his girlfriend to eat from daytime to sunset, and he actually had 15 yuan.

The nameless night snack stall that lines up every day, the fried chicken leg of this house is 5 yuan a piece, and the lily mung bean soup, which are all the taste of my grandmother's house when I was a child.

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

Most of the people who come here to eat are with a nostalgic feeling.

"Gu Chen, you are a new member of the third group, you can pick one here. In line with the attitude of taking care of the newcomers, Officer Wang handed over the choice of the hotel to Gu Chen.

"Then go to this 'nameless restaurant'. "The 'nameless restaurant' that Gu Chen refers to is not without a name, but the name of the store is called 'nameless restaurant', which means obscurity.

"Do you also know this shop?" Officer Wang looked at Gu Chen curiously, surprised: "I'm quite good at picking, this was opened by the descendants of the emperor's imperial kitchen back then, and ordinary people can't find it." ”

In his opinion, this kind of hidden place in the city, unless people like himself who have lived in Jiangnan City for decades, ordinary people can't find it at all.

"The boss is very famous here, he is a disabled soldier, and he came here to volunteer when he was in elementary school, and he realized that his food was really delicious. ”

Gu Chen didn't hide the fact that he often went in and out of here, 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?" Lu Weiwei looked puzzled, feeling that she was a foodie who was outdated, it didn't make sense?

"Senior Sister Lu doesn't know about this?" Gu Chen was also curious, in his eyes, girls should be more good at eating than boys.

Lu Weiwei waved her hand and said: "It's not a secret, I have been studying in the capital since I was a child, and it was also because of my parents' work scheduling that I moved to Jiangnan City when I was in high school. ”

"Haha, it turns out that there is still something you Lu Weiwei don't know, okay, let's have dinner here. ”

Officer Wang has a sense of host.

In the past, everyone picked a place for dinner, and Lu Weiwei could always pick some places that made you start crying after eating and checkout, but when she came to this alley today, Officer Wang felt that she had also escaped.

And looking at Lu Weiwei, she seemed to be 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 owner hurried over and was very welcoming.

"So everyone knows each other?" Officer Wang also couldn't help but say, and hurriedly found the C position for himself.

"Officer Wang?" The boss looked at Lu Weiwei behind him again, and immediately became happy: "It turns out that there are three police officers here today, this is quite rare, Xiao Gu should be assigned to the Furong Police Station, right?"

Because of the familiar relationship with Comrade Wang, the boss also guessed like this.

"I just graduated and was assigned here, and I haven't worked for a full moon yet. Gu Chen also grinned.

The boss's name is Zhang Lei, a disabled soldier, who broke his leg to cover his comrades when he was sweeping Lei in the southwest, and now his left leg is equipped with a prosthetic.

After more than ten years, although it is inconvenient to walk, I am also used to it.

When Gu Chen met his boss for the first time, he also met in a volunteer activity organized by the school when he was a student at Jiangnan No. 1 Primary School.

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

"What do you want to eat at night? I'll make it for you. "The owner was also quite welcoming.

"I want my third child, Gu Chen, what about you?" asked Officer Wang.

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

Boss Zhang Lei nodded, took the menu and asked Lu Weiwei: "This female police officer should be here for the first time, right?

"Me?" Lu Weiwei hesitated for three seconds, scratched her face and said, "I'm the same as Gu Chen, I want whatever he wants." ”

"Okay, wait a minute. Zhang Lei, the boss who wrote the menu, walked into the kitchen happily.

Lu Weiwei was so excited that she hurriedly asked Gu Chen: "Senior Brother Gu, do you still know where there is a good place to eat? ”

"Okay. After Gu Chen learned that Lu Weiwei had moved in to Jiangnan City from other places, he had a sense of host's sight.

"Gangnam City is known as Gangnam Food City, and there are naturally many delicious places, if you have a vacation, I can take you with you. ”

"Uh-huh, that's great. Lu Weiwei was overjoyed, and her little fist clenched in front of her chest and she was excited.

As the night darkens, people who have been busy all day begin to gather here.

The courier brother, the cleaning aunt, the security uncle, the sales girl, everyone has a smile on their faces, enjoying the rare time after hard work.

......

PS: I like this kind of old alley very much, in fact, every city can be found, economic development, high-rise buildings are rising from the ground, many old alleys are slowly disappearing, sometimes, when I am upset, I will go to this kind of alley to walk, eat some street food, I feel that I can go back to my childhood.
