"Is there anything curious about this? Comrade Susan? I asked, puzzled:

"Chiang, don't you think this architectural style is special? It feels a bit like the style of the Beijing courtyard house I saw on TV! Comrade Susan danced a little excitedly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the eyes of the Chinese people, such a house is not uncommon. But for Comrade Susan, it should still be quite new. I saw her holding her mobile phone, taking pictures here and there, as if she wanted to keep every corner of this place in her mobile phone. Just when I was about to sit for a while and let Comrade Susan take enough pictures, Comrade Susan suddenly shouted: "Ah......" I hurriedly ran to her side and asked what was wrong? Comrade Susan pointed to the handrail corridor on the second floor and said, "Chiang, look over there, ......" I looked up in the direction that Comrade Susan was pointing and saw that the handrail corridor on the second floor was empty, and there was nothing worth "shouting about". "What's wrong? Is that place going to make you scream out in fright? I asked, puzzled:

"Chiang, do you look at the pictures I took on my phone?" Comrade Susan pointed to the mobile phone in horror, I looked at Comrade Susan's mobile phone, and I was also startled, only to see that the mobile phone was a photo of the second floor that Comrade Susan had just taken, and the difference from reality was that there was a person in the photo who was now at the railing, looking at us.

When has anyone ever appeared? Where is this man?

When Comrade Susan and I were terrified, "Who are you?" A female voice that I can't say how loud it was, but it was very penetrating, came from behind us, and Comrade Susan and I instinctively turned our heads, only to see that our faces were pale. A short, dark-skinned woman stood behind us. He asked us both suspiciously.

Comrade Susan and I looked at each other. found that the woman in front of him was the person who appeared in the photo of Comrade Susan's mobile phone, and she didn't move, and came to our side from the second floor in a blink of an eye, and Comrade Susan said in a calm tone: "I...... We're here for you! ”

"Admired? What's the name? The woman became more and more vigilant and said:

"It's the alley food here, and the alley food here is very delicious, so it's ......," Comrade Susan explained.

"Oh...... You're here to eat alley food, huh? Hehe...... It's been a long time since we didn't cook alley food here. You'd better find another home! The woman flatly refused:

I always felt that the atmosphere here was a little weird, and when I saw that the other party had issued an "eviction order", I hurriedly borrowed the slope to get off the donkey. slipped away, I didn't expect Comrade Susan to play the role of Sherlock Holmes at this time, and immediately denied what the woman in front of me said: "It's been a long time since you didn't cook dishes?" As far as I know, I don't think I've been doing it for a long time, right? ”

"How so?" The woman smiled coldly and asked:

"These tables and chairs in this courtyard, if I'm not mistaken, should be for the guests to eat. Judging from the newness of its use, it doesn't look like it's been closed for a long time...... You see, there are still unwiped grease stains on this table! Comrade Susan pointed to the grease stains on the table and said:

The woman listened to Comrade Susan's explanation, and did not refute it. I saw that he didn't know when there was an extra rag and a notebook in his hand, and he wiped the table in the nearest position. While wiping, he said, "Since you said so, let's sit down and order." After the woman finished wiping the table, she began to hold a notebook and a pen, waiting for the record. Comrade Susan didn't seem to be very satisfied with the open-air sanitary environment in the courtyard, and Comrade Susan said bluntly: "You better take me to the box on the second floor."

"The second floor is a private room?" I looked up again in confusion, and I couldn't feel that there was a box on the second floor. watched Comrade Susan constantly rummage through her mobile phone, judging that there must be a guide and comment on the Internet to write about this alley restaurant. But Comrade Susan's request was obviously not satisfied by the woman, and she only heard the woman say very bluntly: "The private room upstairs is being renovated and rectified, and it is temporarily closed." If you have to have a private room, you will not be able to accept it. ”

With such a service attitude, if I had been in charge, I would have patted my ass and left, and you are not the only one who cooks in the hall, you have to make this money. Comrade Susan, however, seemed to be mentally prepared for such an attitude, and when she saw that there was no private room available, she could retreat and say, "Then here!" ”

"What do you want?" The woman still asked coldly:

Comrade Susan and I had just sat down, and we didn't see any menu, so we asked what we wanted. "Hostess, is there a menu?" I reminded:

"I'm not the proprietress , the proprietress has died a long time ago, there is no menu here, don't order to pull!" The woman didn't have the slightest enthusiasm for service at all.

I was so angry that I wanted to get up and leave, but Comrade Susan was obviously very satisfied with the environment here, holding his mobile phone and saying with a smile: "No menu, no problem, I have recommended dishes from other netizens here, I'll order these few dishes: Mom's braised pork ......"

Comrade Susan ordered it here, and the woman wrote it over there, and introduced while remembering: "Mu Ma braised pork is the best pork belly picked from pork, marinated in a special sauce, and stewed in red sauce on the same day, fat essence (author's note: Shanghai dialect, lean meat is called fine meat in Shanghai dialect. Moderate, oily but not greasy, fragrant and ruddy. This dish is sold for 20 euros. ”

"20 euros?" Not only was I surprised, but even Comrade Susan was extremely surprised, and a dish of braised pork in the restaurant was sold for more than 140 yuan, as for how expensive it was? Even if it is a star-rated hotel, such a price is a bit outrageous! The woman was surprised when she saw us, and then said lightly: "Don't eat if it's too expensive!" ”

Comrade Susan nodded and said, "No problem, have one!" ”

When I saw that Comrade Susan agreed, I was too hypocritical, and asked the woman in turn: "Do you accept euros here?" If we don't have euros, you won't sell? ”

The woman said lightly: "We are looking at the price of people, what money you bring, I will offer the price of whatever money, isn't this little girl only having euros?" Then I'll open an offer for euros! ”

"How do you know she has euros on her?" I asked in surprise, and Comrade Susan also felt very strange and asked, "Can't I bring the renminbi?" ”

"Didn't you just pay in euros in the taxi? Could it be that I was mistaken? The woman said with confidence:

Comrade Susan was relieved. It turns out that you only took me euros because I only brought them. But I just feel like I have a lot of doubts. Not to mention where she could see the transaction we made at the entrance of the alley, it is not easy to see the entrance of the alley in this place, and she can also see the coins paid, which must be seen with a telescope. If he really saw it with a telescope, then as a business operator, does his pricing method have to be before people come to consume, and the woman has to ask in advance: what money did consumers bring? I asked, "Why are you wishful thinking that people pay for this girl instead of me?" ”

The woman said, "From the beginning to the end, this girl is coming here to eat, and you are alone." Will you know here? When Comrade Susan saw me and the woman raising the bar, she interrupted again and again: "Okay...... All right...... Don't argue and doubt, if you want to eat quickly, I'll continue to order...... Second course: I like shiitake mushrooms and greens. ”

"Shiitake mushrooms are made with good water shiitake mushrooms, with small green vegetables just on the market today, stir-fried on high heat, and then accompanied by our family's unique broth to replace MSG, so that this dish adds color and flavor, it is a rare mother's stir-fry. The dish costs 10 euros. The woman remembered and said:

"Just a green dish costs more than 70 yuan?" Once again, I "took the case" and resolutely resisted. The woman was about to say "don't order if it's too expensive". Comrade Susan hurriedly scolded me: "Chiang, what are you doing? And you don't have to pay. This dish is very good, I ordered it! ”

It can only be said that Comrade Susan is accustomed to the prices in France, which are calculated in euros, and it is only natural that 10 or 20 euros can buy vegetables. People are scolding me like this, what else can I say? Sitting back in place, Comrade Susan looked at his phone and clicked, "Another open and stuffy person." ”

"Little girl, very good at ordering, this open foreign stuffy egg is our signature dish here, the eggs are extremely fresh native eggs, open ocean are selected from the deep-sea prawns to dry, the combination of the two, the freshness of the ingredients themselves into together, delicious. In cooking, we will use the freshest soybean oil instead of salad oil for frying, and the soybean oil aroma will be integrated into the egg aroma, which can not only blend the two aromas and complement each other, but more importantly, it can also effectively remove the fishy smell of the open sea! Of course, before cooking, Kaiyang has been placed in the highest grade Shaoxing rice wine for brewing, after such brewing Kaiyang, itself has a strong aroma of wine, and its fishy smell is gone! The dish costs 15 euros. The woman introduced with a smile:

Seeing that I had no intention of "fighting", Comrade Susan nodded knowingly and smiled: "Okay, let's have a ...... Then a soup...... Yikes...... Many people say that this hibiscus whitebait soup is good, this one should be okay, right? ”

Whitebait is a specialty of Wuxi, and together with white shrimp and white fish, it is known as the "Three Whites of the Great Lake" (editor's note: in order to prevent readers from taking a seat, they are all pseudonyms), and its taste is delicious, and it is the most famous lake fresh dish in Wuxi. Shanghai is adjacent to Wuxi, so you can have this famous dish of Wuxi. Now that Comrade Susan has ordered this dish, I deliberately did not rush to say that this time period is not suitable for eating this whitebait soup, after all, the season is not right, and now I eat whitebait, most of them are frozen whitebait in the quick-frozen, and its taste and freshness are much worse than the freshly caught whitebait, that is because I want to see how this woman boasts, and then I will show myself as a Wuxi person, and humiliate it! It's a pity that the woman didn't brag at all, but said truthfully: "We have the freshest whitebait to use the freshest whitebait, now this season, is not the best season to eat whitebait, even if there is whitebait, it is all quick-frozen, for such ingredients, we don't do it, so if you have to eat, it can only let you find another restaurant!" ”

I have to say that this alley restaurant also has a little bit of its own principles, at least it can make conscientious dishes, and its requirements for themselves are also extremely high, not to make money and blindly cater to the tastes of guests.

"It's not that I have to drink this soup, it's just that someone on the big Internet recommends it, so I just follow it step by step. So do you have anything to introduce? Comrade Susan asked modestly:

"If I had to introduce a soup. I don't think you'll be able to finish eating," said the woman.

"If you can't finish eating, you can pack it. It doesn't matter. You've got it! Comrade Susan said:

"Chicken soup ......," said the woman.

I thought it was some kind of high-end dish, it was chicken soup for a long time, no wonder, lane dishes, it was originally synonymous with home-cooked food, if it was really said that such as Buddha jumping over the wall, Peking duck dish name, we didn't dare to order, although the chicken soup is ordinary. But it is in line with the characteristics of lane dishes.

"Yes! I'd like to make up for that, too! Comrade Susan immediately confirmed:

"We used Chongming's local chicken for this chicken soup (Chongming Island, a district in Shanghai, is the third largest island in China and the largest alluvial island in China. And Ningxia wolfberry, placed in a clay pot, first boiled on a large stove, and then placed on a briquette stove to simmer over low heat, the ingredients are simple, but the ingredients are fresh, compared with other chicken soups. Our chicken soup kneeling is simple and elegant, and it is unique! Take a bite. Full of fragrance! This chicken soup costs 55 euros to add! The woman said:

"No problem! Two more bowls of rice. Comrade Susan said:

"The rice used in our rice is made from black rice, the best rice from Northeast China and glutinous rice from Nanyue, and then baked with millet, which is fragrant and fragrant, with a moderate soft and hard taste, and glutinous, sticky, sweet and chewy in the mouth. A bowl of rice costs 3 euros. The woman introduced:

"Okay, two bowls, not enough more!" Comrade Susan said very open-mindedly:

"Anything else?" The woman then asked:

Comrade Susan looked at me and asked, "Chiang, are these meals enough?" Would you like to get some wine? As soon as she talked about wine, the woman explained: "The wine we have here is home-brewed osmanthus rice wine......

"Wait...... "I know that if I let this woman introduce her, I will have to pay a sky-high price, I still eat honestly, if I really want to drink, I can find a restaurant to get away, there is no need to spend such unjust money here," ...... I eat and don't drink. ”

When Comrade Susan saw that I didn't order, he said to the woman with a smile: "Then let's order so much for the time being!" Sorry for you! The woman coldly put away the pen and paper, dropped a sentence and said, "Then wait a while." With that, he drifted away......

This time, I stared at how the woman went upstairs, ignoring the way she went downstairs. But this thing is also absolutely over, I don't know where a gust of evil wind blew, it actually blinded my eyes, and when I rubbed my eyes and barely opened my eyes, the woman still quietly went to the second floor!

"Chiang, do you think this meal is expensive?" Comrade Susan asked me curiously:

"Expensive!" I temporarily gave up my "attention" to the woman and explained to Comrade Susan: "These dishes and two bowls of rice cost 106 euros, nearly 800 yuan, do you know? Just the two of us, on the Chinese territory, 800 yuan can eat for 8 days! I don't say anything else, just say that the rice, in other places, is at most 2 yuan, and you can eat it casually. This meal is sky-high, and you, a girl from France, are rich and capricious, if you change me, you would have patted your ass and left! See? With so many tables and chairs, just the two of me dining, you can see how expensive it is here, right? ”

"Won't you? Look......" Comrade Susan handed her mobile phone to me and said: "This restaurant is still very popular, so many reviews, and almost all of them are praise......

"I can't read French...... I replied to the mobile phone handed to me by Comrade Susan:

"You can't read French, but you can read numbers, right?" Comrade Susan insisted on letting me see it, then I would reluctantly look at it, I took a closer look, although most of them could not be understood, but I could still understand the euro symbol and Arabic numerals on it, after seeing a string of numbers, I asked in surprise: "Comrade Susan, don't you see the quotation on this?" If I'm not mistaken, the greens and shiitake mushrooms on this are only 1.5 euros, and ...... The price of this stuffy egg is only 2 euros...... See? I hurriedly handed the phone back to Comrade Susan and said:

"Yes...... I saw it when I ordered, so why make such a fuss! Comrade Susan shrugged her shoulders at me and said:

"You know if you don't say it? Let her make a price, which in Shanghainese is 'when the ginseng is chopped'! I excitedly said:

"'When the ginseng is chopped'? What do you mean? Comrade Susan was puzzled:

"It's that we are easy to bully, what she wants, we will do!" I explained:

"Didn't she say that? If it's too expensive, don't point it, you can go. She didn't stop us! Comrade Susan actually replied to me like this. I said in an unbelievable tone, "She's so expensive, then let's go!" She is not the only restaurant in Shanghai, and it is better to go anywhere than here! ”

"As for it? I'll eat this meal, and I don't eat this at once, I can't eat it this time, and it's hard to have a chance to eat it next time, in order to save some money, my wish can't be realized, it's not worth it, right? I think it's worth it to have more than 100 euros to fulfill my wish! Comrade Susan explained: (To be continued.) )
