Chapter 51: Strange Tales of Snack Bars

"Two bowls of flat food, two mixed noodles, a cage of xiaolongbao and two tea eggs——"

After shouting at the boss, the two sat down. Dr. Wei first opened the silence: "Huang Yuan, judging from your experience, how does this Shaxian snack feel?" “

Huang Yuan's junior high school, high school, and graduate students are all in different cities, and he can be regarded as an insider in terms of eating, so he can naturally rate this kind of small restaurant that is often eaten. He replied honestly, "Generally, on the upper side." "Indeed, the taste of this shop is ordinary, and the decoration is almost the same as the standard of Shaxian snacks. It may be that I have eaten less of this cheap rice recently, and the evaluation of Shaxian snacks has risen slightly.

The phrase was quickly drowned out by the noise around it. Compared to Huang Yuan's noncommittal evaluation, this is arguably one of the hottest restaurants in Xincheng. The table next to it is almost all filled with guests, and even the lowest workers will squeeze out a few dollars to eat a magical flat food and bibimbine here for a few days.

As soon as the two of them came, they shouted "a table" of dishes in Chinese, and they were immediately cast envious glances by the people around them. Although this configuration is not luxurious - the big killer such as stew pot and fried noodles with ingredients and fried ginkgo has not yet been sacrificed.

Other restaurants may be on the expensive side. The yellow braised chicken rice, which is also a national chain, is not as good as the pancake fruit that is opened in the store. Probably because it's too expensive. There is no cheap white feather broiler, and the price of yellow braised chicken rice is really ...... I was also tired of the new district staff in the canteen who could afford to eat. In this regard, the owner of Yellow Braised Chicken Rice is more depressed, and he can even be seen playing Hero Invincible in the store. The Wallace bullfrog shop next door can approve his shipment on the grounds that "I can't find the ingredients in Elta for the time being", so why can't I do it myself? The chickens provided by the farmers of Elta are not clean vegetables, and they have to be cleaned up and disinfected with boiling water - when will the chicken farms on the outskirts of the new city produce chickens? Seeing that the chubby boss of the bullfrog shop, Ou Jin, had a smile on his face that had become brighter and brighter recently, and the light was so bright that it covered his leather shoes, which really made him very unhappy. Although everyone is a public official, the salary is fixed, the financial meal, and selling more and selling less is just a sentence mentioned by the leader, but I can't raise my head! It's shameless for everyone to have a meeting! What a sad story.

Some street stalls have been maliciously turned into big business by his colleagues, such as pancakes and fruits, which are actually decorated in the same style as Ken Chicken. The concise and efficient live performance makes everyone in line addicted, and the selection of adding ingredients to separate the high and low grades makes everyone have a lot of fun nibbling on the same pancake fruit (which looks the same). Not to mention Malatang, low cost and high sales, every day a group of high-income people among the indigenous people are happy to be abused by Ma and Spicy to death, spitting fire on the sky and stomping on the ground. Seeing these snacks become more and more popular with the local people like Kenda Chicken and McDonald's Chicken, which just entered the country in the 80s, is really a laugh - and it also makes the owner of Yellow Braised Chicken Rice stuffed.

Other shops are doing well, and large items such as grilled fish and boiled live fish are also well received. It's just that on weekdays, a pot of fish on a piece of red paper may be four or even two or three people in China, and five people have to add food. In Elta, you can see at least 10 people there serving a pot of fish with a pot of rice, and the same construction team is using the AA system to consume. When Dr. Wei heard about it, he couldn't help but sigh that this TM is the consumption level driving consumption mode.

It's the last weekend before the New Year's holidays. The general structure of the new city has been completed, and the next week we can see the completion of many projects, the last salary before the new year, and then the commercial street in front of it can be seen to be even busier. Rolling paper soda candy will continue to lead the three major consumer goods boom in Elta, I wonder how many cheap goods in the wagon will be exchanged for the willing labor of the Elta people?

It is true that the standard of living of the Elta people who came to the new city in search of work has advanced almost a thousand years, and they themselves may feel that their living conditions have changed dramatically, but in our eyes there has been little progress. Chestnuts, for example, the Elta people worked so hard to buy butt-wiping rolls in their dormitories for use as treasures in their living rooms. After wiping your hands, you have to keep wiping your buttocks. It's like we pull a roll of paper tubes, hulala, and turn a few heels and don't feel distressed, and the table is wet and directly take the pumping paper paste.

Because of this, tissue paper is not available in major restaurants. Huang Yuan and Dr. Wei are also old drivers, and they have them in their pockets. Take it out, unfold it, wipe your mouth, and throw it in the trash. The two of them only finished working overtime in the afternoon, and they parted ways here. Dr. Wei was in for a treat, but he paid the bill with a slightly unhappy look, not because it was expensive or unpalatable, but because the cashier gave him all the same steel hammers.

At first, the Elta people were at a loss for things like paper coins. Of course, it is impossible for the old fritters in charge of the distribution of money bags in the new district not to know this, so the salaries are all coins - anyway, there is not much money, and the weight of the steel hammer is more reassuring than the ticket, and a bunch of five cents and one cent are specially issued. The same is a week's salary, five yuan a big ticket and five one yuan big steel hammer is a world of difference, ten five cents feel different, although the face value is the same. Although the Elta people are now accustomed to a large coin, the change is still widely circulated in the market. Even outside the new town, these coins are beginning to dominate the market for other silver and copper coins.

Dr. Wei was upset with these dozen steel hammers, thinking about where to spend the money so as not to put it in his pocket and panic, when Huang Yuan called.

Huang Yuan didn't listen to the phone all the time, but his face turned cloudy, and he could see that he was going to be in a hurry and feel at ease.

Dr. Wei didn't ask any questions, just waved goodbye and continued to spend money elsewhere. He later learned that it was the little policeman in Xincheng who informed Huang Yuan that his girlfriend had been stolen and set up an ambush. Then he told him that the thief had been beaten and his teeth were thrown on the street. This frightened Huang Yuan a lot, and the little policeman finally calmly told him that Luo Aya was now at the door of the police station and asked him to take it back.

It sounds like a small thing, but it caused Dr. Wei to work extra for several days. He gritted his teeth on this matter before the New Year's holiday, and personally submitted an article to the Pioneer Daily, saying that "all the masses should be mobilized to investigate suspicious persons" and "strengthen the household registration file system in Xincheng".
