Back to the magic capital, first come to Jiujiantang to see the fish that I haven't seen for a long time, but fortunately, the property is attentive and healthy.

Chat with the manager and recommend a restaurant called Paul, the miraculous thing is that Paul's owner has passed away, but the restaurant doesn't seem to have changed.

The legendary boss Qiang old man has a net worth of hundreds of millions in his life and sits on 3 lanes of bungalows on Fumin Road. drove a luxury car and bought a famous brand, and had enough of a luxurious life.

Some people also say that it is true to be rich, but his diligence and thrift have not changed at all. Not only do you wear cloth shoes, you can use an old man's machine, and even the toilet paper has to be counted clearly.

There are different opinions, and I don't know who is true and who is false. But the more this happens, the more curiosity arouses people's curiosity.

In fact, putting aside the legendary life of the old strong man, there are many topics to talk about Paul's Restaurant alone. His death this time has even caused several generations of Modu people to fall into the tide of collective memories at the same time.

Paul Restaurant can be popular, in addition to just catching up with the good era of economic take-off and the old man's habit of judging the situation has an inseparable relationship. In the early days, a strong old man with only a few dollars in his trouser pocket set up a beachhead on the side of the road that specialized in repairing bicycles.

Pedestrians passing by will come to him for repairs if their cars have lost their chains and punctured their tires. Most of the bicycle repairers in those days have now withdrawn from the market along with bicycles. But Boss Qiang knows how to seize opportunities and adapt to the market, and after accumulating some experience, he changed his career to repair cars.

He found that every time the car drivers came to fix their tires, they wanted to find a place to rest their feet and have a light meal. So I decided to change careers again, and immediately put down the small house at the door to make catering.

Other people's restaurants are honestly stir-frying their own dishes, and he wants to create new tricks. In his shop, the fritters are stuffed with meat and wrapped in a thick sauce, and the eggplant is also eaten in a fancy way, not only wrapped in lettuce, but also rolled into the dough and eaten together. People who are accustomed to Shanghai-style life, when they saw such fusion dishes, felt that they were both authentic and innovative.

It took 10 years to go from a small 20-square-meter street stir-fry to a gradual take-off.

Then the old man Qiang bought a 30s western-style building on Fumin Road, a two-story European-style building, which looked more and more modern and fashionable under the cover of Fa Tong. It was also from that time that Paul's Restaurant began its golden age.

This kind of place must be walked around, and from the outside, the red brick and tile Paul Restaurant shows a strong European style.

In the midst of ups and downs, it witnessed the most glorious 20 years from 1990 to 2010.

Countless guests at home and abroad have put company banquets, New Year's parties and entertaining friends in the private room of Paul Restaurant. Even on weekdays, the number of guests who come here to eat is still full of people.

Walking into the hall, you can clearly feel the strong retro European style of the seventies and eighties, with carved wooden chairs, spiraling European-style escalators and glittering crystal chandeliers. Each object seems to tell the story of these years.

In front of you, there is a huge transparent glass cabinet containing fresh seafood, and your aunt will beckon you in while shouting: The river shrimp are going to be eaten, and they are very fresh recently.

"When you come here to eat, you must order a Swiss veal steak, coconut green bean puree and braised pork 3-piece set. Eating it together is Paul's taste. ”

Walking in the private room, all the features are here, and the biggest fun of this kind of place is to chat with old guys. I heard that even if the restaurant is profitable, the strong old man who started by repairing bicycles has not changed his frugal nature. Usually, he still dresses casually, and comes to the store with a pair of slippers.

Sometimes I would ride a worn-out bicycle, and the crunch sound could be heard from far and wide. When the employee hears it, he knows that the boss is coming, and he should hurry up and be quick to do things.

They are a family and do things by themselves. Even if the sewer is blocked, the strong old man is reluctant to hire someone and jumps in to clean it up himself.

In the middle of the night, she wrapped her cotton coat in a cotton coat to buy vegetables, and even the green onions in the store were picked by herself......

Johnson shook his head, no wonder since ancient times catering has been called diligent, no matter how big the boss is if he doesn't manage it carefully, he won't be able to stand it sooner or later.

The signature dish Swiss steak is served, a large portion of steak, each slice thickly sliced. I like to dip it in homemade white sauce, which will have a very light mustard flavor in it. It tastes crispy and soft, with a fragrant sweetness and a pronounced peppery flavor.

The feeling of green bean puree is a bit useless. When you eat it, you can feel that the beans are ground very delicately. But I don't know why, the taste of green beans and the fragrance of coconut are combined, and the whole is indescribably strange.

Paul tofu is the sweetest dish, and the tofu is wrapped in a sweet sauce. After just a few bites, I was tired of being defeated. Of the three dishes, except for the Swiss steak, the other two dishes were either too oily or too greasy.

In fact, no matter how deep you think about it, it is reasonable. In the early days of the restaurant, Paul's Restaurant was fashionable from the name to the dishes, and the prices were affordable. Treat and eat here, and your face is the same.

But time flies too fast, the restaurant industry has developed to the iPhone X era, and Paul is still like the legendary strong old man who uses the old man's machine, forgetting to keep up with the times.

But I suddenly found that whether it was the grandfather who brought his grandchildren to the mouth, or the tourists who came from other places, they all ate happily.

Maybe I'm overthinking?

Probably cooking is the same as being a person, each with its own eyes. No matter how the times change, there are always people who like this old taste.

I have nothing to do shopping, no matter what time it is, I come to a building by chance, and the overall appearance is like a peony. Especially against the backdrop of night lights, it is colorful and charming.

Curious to get off the bus, it's actually a glass museum?

The first piece claims to be a depiction of Maui, a volcanic island in Hawaii, and the whole work is vibrantly colored. In SC Johnson's understanding, scorching red and yellow are the colors of fire. Black, the color that the volcanic ash has given to the land of this volcanic island.

But it feels more like a peacock's feathers, colorful in the light. Zooming in on the details of the work, it is even more amazing that glass art can be so incredible.

Then there are the African-themed works, and it is difficult to associate the clear blue with the scorching heat of Africa without reading the relevant introductions. If you dig deeper into the background, you can better understand this blue, which means that the rainy season in Africa gives life to the earth.

It's not the same land, but the sky is the same blue. The same rainwater soaks the soil and water. Just like the great migration of the African wildebeest, this magical land always has unexpected places.

Others don't know, for the immersive self can feel the details are very careful, the production process is very complicated, blowing patterns, but also to make into a network of lines, it is very difficult to operate, so the finished product is more precious.

I found a group of very interesting works, called Endeavour. Listen to the staff and be inspired by those boats in the Venetian River. I have been away from my hometown for a long time, and I have been half-worn recently. Only the mirror lake in front of the door, the spring breeze does not change the old waves.

It brings a deep feeling to SC Johnson, in addition to the skillful technique, that is, the different nostalgia expressed by the artist. No matter what nationality you are, the memory of your hometown should be something special. Each unique feature of the work is that the texture is different, and there are thousands of variations under the unified shape.
