The sound of the horn on the street brought back Ye Kai's thoughts, he looked at the scenery outside the car window, and felt a little familiar: "Monkey, is it almost to the wide and narrow alley?"

Sun Shang responded vaguely, and was concentrating on finding a parking space:

"Almost, just a little bit earlier. ”

As a landmark attraction in Rongcheng, Kuanzhai Alley is an important check-in place for outsiders to travel to Rongcheng, and the whole is an antique courtyard of Qingdai bricks and tiles, which is a rare large-scale ancient street of the Qing Dynasty in Rongcheng.

However, their target today is not Kuanzhai Alley, but a small street not far away, Changfa Street.

After getting out of the car, Zhou Sihui took a few steps to the front and said, "This should be a community, right?"

Ye Kai observed the surrounding environment and affirmed: "Be confident, you should go, this is a community." Monkeys, are we going to eat in this neighborhood. ”

"Don't underestimate this community. Sun Shanggang parked the car, walked over and said, "I haven't been to the place I took you to this time, I heard that it is a black pearl two-diamond restaurant on a review website, and it is the only one in Rongcheng." ”

"Black Pearl?"

Ye Kai understood, he often looked for food on this website, and he also knew a little about this rating.

Modeled after the Michelin restaurant star, Dianping.com also divides the better restaurants in China into three levels, calling them Michelin-starred restaurants in China.

Compared with Michelin-rated restaurants, Black Pearl is obviously more to the appetite of Chinese people.

Ye Kai was looking forward to it.

But the first step to enjoying the food must be to enter the restaurant first, they have already walked back and forth on this street twice, and still can't find where the entrance to the restaurant is.

"I ...... I'll make a call. Sun Shang gave up.

The phone was quickly connected, and Sun Shang listened to the voice from the microphone and looked around, and finally looked behind Ye Kai. After pulling the unknown Ye Kaipao aside, he said.

"Is it a black door with two knockers on it, and the one with two stone lions in the doorway?"

With that, he stepped forward and grabbed the knocker and knocked on it.

"Here?" Ye Kai said in surprise.

They had passed by this place three times, and they were still discussing who lived in such style, but they didn't expect this to be the restaurant they were looking for.

The door was opened, and a woman wearing a cyan Republic of China disc button small round neck dress opened the door and asked, "You are the person who called just now?"

"Yes. Sun Shang said, "My surname is Sun." ”

She got out of the way and led a few people through the door, saying, "Come with me." ”

The restaurant is small, or rather small, just a three-room residential building converted into a dining room, and the interior of the restaurant is decorated with simple and beautiful decorations.

This restaurant only receives one table of guests for a meal, Sun Shang was lucky, and he didn't come to this dinner today, so he was caught up by them.

They were taken to a room with four chairs.

On the wall are ink-style lotus flowers and herrings, which look like they have an abnormal texture, Ye Kai was a little curious, and touched it with his hand, and touched the uneven unidentified gum.

It should be that after it is painted, paint is used to add texture to the painting and make the painting look more realistic.

Let Ye Kai comment, as a Chinese painting, this is a bit nondescript.

Below the painting is a table with porcelain, and the log of the dining table is in the same style, on which are placed two tableware with somewhat exaggerated shapes.

It is the style of blue and white porcelain, but it is made into tableware.

The woman I saw just now walked into the room with the food, she should be the waitress of the restaurant, she put the appetizer on the table, and said, "This is a pre-dinner dessert, and an appetizer." ”

After she put it down, she introduced: "The dessert is jam ice powder, red lettuce cake, and the appetizers are pickled pepper phoenix feet, cumin charcoal roasted pork, rice pepper fungus, and crispy cashew nuts in sauce." ”

"Please enjoy it slowly, and the next dish will come up soon. ”

Saoirse eagerly held up the fork and said to Ye Kai: "It looks great, can you eat it?"

"Of course, eat. ”

Ye Kai tasted the taste unceremoniously, anyway, they were all divided into meals, and everyone was rationed.

With a little fungus, there is a sweet and sour feeling, and the overall taste is not much different from the pickled pepper fungus outside, but this one tastes more elastic, and you can feel a feeling of springing teeth when you bite into your mouth.

"It's delicious—" Saoirse said, taking a bite of the ice powder.

Ye Kai also gave her his own.

The ice powder is very small, about the same as the mouth of the cup they drink tea, so even two girls can eat a dish in one bite.

"What a feeling. Ye Kai asked.

Saoirse had a fork in her mouth and said without hesitation: "Sweet and delicious." ”

The next dish came up, and the waiter continued: "This dish is shrimp multicolored noodles, and the strange sauce is poured on the noodles. You can eat the cold dishes slowly, and I will bring you the hot dishes after you press the bell. ”

Ye Kai translated for Saoirsa, then lifted the sauce in the small cup and poured it directly on the noodles.

The noodles are ordinary cold noodles, but as the name suggests, they are multicolored noodles, yellow, green, brown, etc., but there are still very few, and you can eat them with chopsticks.

Sun Shang tasted exaggeratedly, looked at the door, and whispered to Ye Kai: "What do I think, it's the taste of cold noodles." ”

The razor clams next to it are shelled, and the leaves are open and eaten together in the mouth.

It's delicious, it's just too little.

The wheat flavor is very strong, and the noodles are not only wheat, but also because the color is infused with the juice of other plants, and not because the pigment is used to change the color.

The sauce is similar to the sweet water sauce, but the miraculous thing is that it does not have the taste of MSG, and other ingredients are used to enhance the umami flavor of the sauce.

It seems that his sense of taste has also improved, and it is impossible for him to taste so much in the past. may be the same as Sun Shang, I think it is the taste of cold noodles.

Seeing that Saoirse was enjoying eating very much, Ye Kai felt in his heart that it was worth the trip, and the most important thing during this time was to accompany Saoirse.

As a foreigner who has just arrived in China, this meal has just begun.

When you're done eating, press the bell.

The waiter served four bowls of soup: "This is the signature of our store, sitting on a bar and a big knife with gold wire noodles." The noodle soup is soup with the boiling water cabbage, and please enjoy it. ”

"Boiling cabbage?"

Even though Ye Kai didn't know much about eating before, he often heard about this dish.

The dish is golden brown and has a small cabbage inside, but the thread-like noodles are the real protagonist of the dish.

Anyway, he is so famous, Ye Kai didn't taste it first, but picked it up and put it under his pen to smell it.

It doesn't have a strong smell, it's a light fragrance, but you can also smell the umami of chicken soup.
