Li Liang and Chenchen walked around the streets together for a long time, and Li Liang found that in the past few years of reform and opening up, Yangcheng has been affected by external shocks really greatly. Li Liang has been to the Gangshan area, and he has also passed through Gannan City, these two areas in the province of Gannan Province, basically still stay in the inherent impression of people in the 80s. But in Yangcheng, which is at the forefront of reform and opening up, the situation is very different. Whether it is a variety of fashionable goods from the port city, or people's thoughts, all of them show the charm of openness!

The two of them walked all the way, the streets of Beijing Road in Yangcheng, in addition to several other shopping malls such as Yangcheng Department Store were crowded, even the streets were full of stalls and vendors selling all kinds of fashionable goods, almost every few tens of meters there was a stall selling jeans, and other goods such as electronic watches, star posters, radios and so on, and even when Li Liang was walking around with Chenchen, there was a mysterious figure, and asked in a low voice: "Comrade, do you want tapes? Teresa Teng's, do you want it?"

This kind of scene reminds Li Liang of the scene of sneaking up on the street after the 90s to secretly sell colored CDs! It is really very similar, although the time and space are different, but the similar scenes are almost exactly the same!

Li Liang bought two pairs of jeans for Chenchen, and Chenchen insisted that he didn't want to, but was forcefully suppressed by Li Liang. At the same time, Li Liang also bought two for himself, relatively speaking, the style of today's jeans is not so rich compared with later generations, the most obvious is the narrow jeans popular for girls in later generations, there is no now!

"Liangzi, tell you not to buy it, you still buy it, how to wear it to school when the time comes, you will be laughed at by teachers and classmates!"

Li Liang said with a smile: "Chenchen, don't worry, you can wear it boldly, when the time comes, your classmates, I estimate that many people will wear it like you!"

Chenchen was still a little worried, Li Liang looked at her wrinkled face, so he changed the topic and said: "Chenchen, are you hungry, I'm dying of hunger, I haven't eaten anything in the morning, let's find a place to eat!"

Li Liang said to eat, and sure enough, Chen Chen's attention was diverted, so the two of them began to look for a place to eat on the street! Not to mention, Li Liang and Chen Chen really found a lot of places to eat after such a search.

There are many time-honored shops on Beijing Road, which have been renovated after liberation, and are now mostly public-private partnerships.

Li Liangdong looked west and soon found one!

He pointed to the door of the house and said to Chenchen: "Chenchen, let's go eat Western food today, how about it?"

"Western food, it's very expensive, isn't it!" Chenchen followed the direction of Li Liang's finger and saw the restaurant Li Liang was pointing to at a glance!

This shop looks very old, the door face is antique wood grain decoration, it looks half-old and not new, there is a pair of signboards hanging on the left and right of the door, only to see the book: the first in Yangcheng, a century-old brand!

"It's not expensive, let's try it today!" Li Liang said with a smile.

After Li Liang finished speaking, he took Chenchen's hand and walked into this century-old brand side by side!

The shop they entered was called Taipingguan, which everyone in Old Yangcheng knew. The Taiping Pavilion was founded in the 11th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1885 AD).

The founder, Xu Laogao, was originally a chef in Shamian Qichang Foreign Company, and he was well versed in Western cooking skills. Later, he left the foreign company to open a stall specializing in frying steak at the Taiping Tower of Taipingsha Chengyuan on Beijing South Road to make a living, because of his cooking method, attracted a large number of Chinese and foreign businessmen, and later moved to the city wall, and named Taiping Pavilion because of the place, becoming a restaurant specializing in Western food that began to take shape.

After the liberation, the prime minister visited the Taiping Pavilion twice and proposed to expand the Taiping Pavilion. Under the personal intervention of the prime minister, the Taiping Pavilion has been expanded, and the scale has become larger and larger, and it has gradually developed into the largest western restaurant in Yangcheng. The citizens of Yangcheng are accustomed to saying: eat Western food, go to the Taiping Pavilion.

The Taiping Pavilion is worthy of being a century-old store, although it is famous, but the service staff does not look like a big bully. Li Liang was carrying a bag of jeans in his left hand, and after he led Chenchen in, he soon had an enthusiastic service staff guide Li Liang and them to find a window seat on the second floor, and they did not look down on Li Liang and Chenchen at all because they were not dressed fashionably!

"Hello, what do you two need?" asked a 40-year-old Yangcheng aunt in Mandarin with a hint of Cantonese.

"It's the first time we've eaten Western food, can you give me a recommendation?" said Li Liang, who played a man who had never eaten Western food before. In fact, although he has never eaten Western food in his life, he has eaten it in his previous life!

"We have a lot of signboards here, such as braised pigeon, pepper beef short ribs, German salted pork knuckle, flame ice cream, fried ice cream, net red bean ice, cheese baked spaghetti, cowboy bones, salted beef belly, milk tea, fried rice, comb, chicken wings, chicken chops, seafood salad, banana boat, mango ice cream, braised spaghetti with ham and shredded chicken, New Zealand lamb chop, cheese baked broccoli, New Zealand sirloin steak and so on!" It's your first time to eat Western food, so I suggest you order this steak set, which includes steak, soup, meal kits, ice cream, and a full portion, and you can eat one by yourself!"

"Okay, just according to your recommendation!" Li Liang thanked with a smile, "Thank you, eldest sister!"

"How cooked do you want the steak to be?" asked the aunt.

Chen Chen said that he was confused when he heard this, and looked at Li Liang with blank eyes!

Li Liang said: "Both portions are medium-rare! In addition, one part black pepper juice and one part mushroom juice!"

"Okay, wait a minute!"

After ordering, soon the aunt gave two sets of Western tableware, and after the aunt left, Chenchen sat opposite Li Liang and asked in a low voice: "Liangzi, why didn't you ask the price just now, will it be too expensive?"

Li Liang comforted: "Don't worry, Chenchen!"

The speed of serving food in the Taiping Pavilion was very fast, Li Liang and Chenchen chatted, and after waiting for about ten minutes, two steaks came up. Li Liang motioned to the waiter to put the steak set with mushroom juice in front of Chenchen, and gave him the black pepper juice!

Chenchen is really eating Western food for the first time, how to use a knife, how to hold a fork, all of them are watching Li Liang operate step by step. Li Liang, in order not to show his feet, also looked around at the neighbors, pretending to be in a posture of learning and using!

The two of them eat very carefully, except for Chenchen who is a little unaccustomed to using knives and forks at the beginning, in general, the steak made by the Taiping Pavilion is very authentic!
