Chapter 575: Old Shop
Song Yuanchao returned to Jinling and stayed there for a few days, and then they set off together for the great northwest.
This time, there were only four husband and wife Song Yuanchao and Qin Zhengguo, who did not choose a faster and more convenient plane, and took the train.
He still thought he was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, but now he is a thirty-year-old man, looking at his big belly, one ass is going to occupy a position of one and a half people, and he still has a hard seat? It is estimated that after sitting for half a day, the back pain will be unbearable.
Besides, although the whole country has been rectified this year, and the public security has been much better, can you ensure that there is nothing at all in the way to the northwest? Although a few of them were dressed ordinary, this ordinary was just that, compared to those comrades who still had patches on their clothes and pants, they were as dazzling as fireflies in the dark as soon as they sat there, not to mention Qin Zhengguo's obviously unusual figure.
So for the sake of safety and to take care of the two female comrades, Song Yuanchao still bought a sleeper.
There are exactly four people in a room, it stands to reason that Song Yuanchao and Qin Zhengguo should be on the upper bunk, but in the end, Song Yuanchao and Qin Zhengguo occupied a row of upper and lower bunks, and Song Yuanchao was on Qin Zhengguo, because considering his tonnage, now Qin Zhengguo is fat like this, and even if he can climb up, everyone is still worried that sleeping until midnight will collapse the upper bunk, so he can only be treated so specially.
The journey was long, and they had to take a car through Chang'an to a small station further northwest, and then change trains to a remote county seat.
When you get to the county seat, you have to continue walking, and it takes about half a day to reach your destination.
When Song Yuan Dynasty returned to the city, this road walked for ten days and ten nights, and now the conditions are different from those days, but it is only more comfortable along the way, but the journey is not much shorter.
It will take most of the time for the train to pass, and the car to go to the county seat on the day of arrival at the station will be long gone, and the earliest will be the next morning.
They stayed for the time being, and in the early morning of the next day, they left their rooms early and rushed to the long-distance bus station, and it took them another whole day to arrive at the county seat they were going to.
This is a small county town in the northwest, such a county can only be found on the map, except for the locals, people from other provinces rarely know this place, but when they got off the long-distance bus and stood on this land with their feet, the four of them were extremely emotional.
"Aid Korea, do you remember that over there?" Qin Zhengguo looked left and right, and suddenly stretched out his hand to point in one direction, Song Yuanchao looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a state-run hotel at a glance.
Song Yuanchao immediately laughed, how could he not remember this place? Back then, he and Qin Zhengguo came here to have dinner.
At that time, there was not enough food rations to eat, especially at the end of the year, when everyone was hungry. In order to live, Song Yuanchao and Qin Zhengguo came out together to ask for food, Lin Yan and Ying Caixia stayed in the team, trying to find a way to dig some wild vegetables in the nearby mountains, and with the help of Wangjiatun's old Uncle Wang, they barely survived.
This state-run restaurant is where they came to eat, and Song Yuanchao still remembers the tall chef with a stubble on his face at the restaurant, Master Yu.
Chef Yu makes a good noodle and is an old employee of this restaurant. The Northwest was known as the "Carbs Province" in later generations, and it can be seen from this term that the favorite of the Northwest people is pasta.
At that time, Song Yuanchao and Qin Zhengguo wanted to come here for food, and they were almost kicked out, but the Master Yu who looked fierce was very good, seeing that Song Yuanchao and Qin Zhengguo were so hungry that they couldn't even walk, they quietly took them to the back, first made two bowls of noodle soup and gave them to drink first, and then stuffed them with a few wild vegetable dumplings and a small bag of multigrain noodles after they eased up.
You must know that food was very precious at that time, even if Master Yu was a cook, he couldn't eat enough many times. The food given to them was Master Yu's own rations, squeezed out of between his teeth.
Thinking of the past, Song Yuanchao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it just so happened that they had just arrived at today's dinner and had nowhere to go, so he immediately proposed to go there to eat something first, and then find a guest house to settle down.
The state-run hotel still looks the same, the door face has not changed, only to find that the inside is a little different from that year, and the repainted white wall has less slogans of those years, and there is more of the atmosphere of the new era.
The business of this restaurant is not very good, after all, this is only a small county, there are not many people in the whole county, and secondly, how can the locals have two restaurants in three days? Everyone cooks at home.
In addition to some units to entertain or people who come on business trips will enter the hotel, it is good for locals to come once a year, so there are three state-run hotels in the entire county, and this is one of them.
When Song Yuanchao came in, there was no one in the store, there were only two outsiders who looked like they were engaged in supply and marketing at a table, the ticket clerk sitting behind the counter at the door was lazily wearing a sweater, and a few waiters occupied a table and were smoking and drinking tea.
When Song Yuan entered the door for the four of them, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.
It's impossible not to be attracted, although they went out dressed very low-key, and deliberately changed into their most ordinary clothes, but these four people stood over there, not to mention the temperament on their bodies was different from ordinary people, plus Song Yuanchao and Qin Zhengguo were wearing Mao suits, Lin Yan and Ying Caixia were wearing women's blue jackets, slightly permed hair and black leather shoes on their feet, which looked very stylish.
The nearest ticket clerk subconsciously stood up, and the half-punched sweater in his hand was quickly put aside.
Both Android and Apple are available. γ
These four people look strange, but they are full of style, especially the chubby man's belly bulging in his tunic and a pen pinned to his chest.
This state-run hotel belongs to the county's industry, and although most of the people who work here are related households, they also have some eyesight.
For a while, the biller thought that Song Yuanchao was a big leader from the county or city, and hurriedly put a smile on his face.
Who are Song Yuanchao? Seeing what the other party was thinking at a glance, he and Qin Zhengguo looked at each other and smiled, and then asked Lin Yan and Ying Caixia beside him what they wanted to eat.
In fact, the food in the restaurant is hanging over there, so you can see it clearly at a glance. Lin Yan and Ying Caixia looked at the menu and discussed, and the two ordered the noodles.
Song Yuanchao and Qin Zhengguo are also hungry for this, since they left here, they haven't eaten authentic Zhenzi noodles for so many years, they immediately ordered four bowls, and then asked for two side dishes, and after taking out the money and the national food stamps to buy the brand, the biller shouted at a few people chatting not far away, one of them stood up and walked over to take the sign from Song Yuanchao's hand and asked them to wait, and then turned to work inside.
I found a table and sat down, and after waiting for a while, two side dishes came up first.
It's not a delicacies of the mountains and seas, it's just a cold dish with special characteristics in the northwest.
The taste is very authentic, Song Yuanchao took a bite of Kuaizi and nodded again and again, this taste is much more delicious than what they ate back then, but it is also normal, the materials were poor back then, and they couldn't even eat enough, let alone vegetables, it is common to mix a cold dish with less salt and less oil during the New Year's holidays, and many times some vegetables can only be used as a substitute, wild vegetables are not good, bitter and astringent, where are there such conditions now?
"A few people will use it first, wait a while, and come right away."
The young chef in white clothes and white hat put down the cold dishes and said to Song Yuanchao and them, his attitude was very good, maybe because he couldn't tell them where they came from, and he thought they were cadres from above just now.
Song Yuanchao nodded with a smile and said thank you, and the four of them continued to eat the dishes, and after a while, four bowls of steaming noodles came up.
The noodles came, and the red cheeks covered the noodles with a fragrant aroma, which made Song Yuanchao can't help but move his index finger, and without saying a word, he picked up the fast seeds and ate them.
It's been a long time since I've eaten such fragrant and authentic noodles, not to mention Song Yuanchao and Qin Zhengguo, even the two ladies Lin Yan and Ying Caixia are also eating with their eyebrows flying.
"This noodle soup is for the four of you to rinse your mouth." Just as he was halfway through eating, the young chef came over with a plate again, put down the plate and put the four bowls of noodle soup in it one by one, and said politely with a smile on his face.
Qin Zhengguo was slightly surprised, glanced at the young man and asked with a smile: "I said this little comrade, your current service attitude is very good, I have been here with you before, but I don't have this treatment." β
"It turns out that a few of them are old customers!" The young chef immediately smiled: "No wonder a few people feel familiar as soon as they enter the door, you haven't been here for a long time, right?" β
Song Yuanchao smiled secretly in his heart, is his face familiar? This young man looked like he was in his early twenties, how old was this young man when they left the Great Northwest? No matter what, it's impossible to see them here.
However, Song Yuanchao just said this in his heart, the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, not to mention opening the door to do business This is also a common clichΓ©, there is no need to take it seriously.
"Isn't the whole country now engaged in reform and opening up? The state is advocating a new atmosphere in the new era, and we are also serving the people in this work, of course, we must be anxious about what the masses are anxious about, and thinking about what the masses think, which is also our own job. "Young chefs are not very old, and this sounds quite reasonable.
As soon as he said this, Song Yuanchao laughed, especially Qin Zhengguo, who nodded again and again, and deliberately praised the young chef: "You little comrade has a good consciousness, well, not bad...... Do a good job and have a future...... There's a future! β
