Chapter 787 ?
Xia Mingxing is very familiar with Shanghai. After all, she lived here for several years during college. She knew those time-honored restaurants with extraordinary skills. She found a small Cantonese restaurant.
It was originally a private restaurant, but now it is a public-private joint venture. By then, the indoor seats were already 90% full.
Xia Mingxing parked his bicycle and took Li Xingxing to an empty table in the corner. "Xingxing, sit and wait for me. I'll order food at the counter. What do we have to eat today? Is it feasible?"
"Okay." No problem.
When Li Xingxing went to a state-owned restaurant for dinner, he ordered dishes based on the existing menu, and the daily supply was different.
Xia Mingxing approached the counter, looked at the small blackboard hanging on the window, and said to the middle-aged waitress behind the window: "A part of brine platter, a part of stuffed tofu, a part of steamed pork ribs and white shrimps with soy sauce, eight liang of rice."
The small blackboard is marked with prices, and the money and food coupons are actively handed over.
The waiter lowered his head and registered the dishes he ordered, but did not look up. "There is no ribs, can I change it to dried plums and pork? There is only the last serving. Today's pork supply is very limited."
"It's just replaced it with dried plums and vegetables and pork." Xia Mingxing handed in the money and food coupons.
When he looked up and collected the money and tickets, a hint of surprise suddenly flashed in the waiter's eyes. After about half a minute, his fair and round face was filled with surprise expressions, "Xiaoxia? Are you Xiaoxia? I haven't seen you for many years since you graduated, and I almost recognized you. I remember you often came when you were in school."
Xia Mingxing nodded and said, "Aunt Liu, don't come and have a good time?"
"It's so good!" Aunt Liu smiled and looked up and down, "Xiaoxia, when did you come to Shanghai? I'll know that you look, dress and spirit, are you good at work?"
"It's okay." Xia Mingxing did not mention his current position. He looked back at Li Xingxing who was looking around. He turned his head and smiled at Aunt Liu, "He happened to pass by and took my wife to taste Uncle Liu's craftsmanship. Is Uncle Liu still the restaurant cooked? Or are Uncle Liu's two apprentices?"
When talking about her husband's apprentice, Aunt Liu's smile faded and soon cheered up: "It's Lao Liu who cooks and cooks every day, and he's alone enough. Who is your wife? Let me meet."
Xia Mingxing waved to Li Xingxing over.
Aunt Liu's eyes were stunning, "Xiao Xia, your wife is so beautiful!"
Before he finished speaking, Li Xingxing had arrived.
After all, the restaurant is small, and it is only a ten-step distance from the corner to the counter.
"Brother Xiaoxia, you called me? Didn't you agree to order food?" After saying that, Li Xingxing looked at Aunt Liu curiously, with an elf-like face, "Is this boss lady the boss lady?"
Aunt Liu smiled and said, "I used to be the boss lady, but now I am the waiter."
Li Xingxing expressed his understanding: "Yes, yes, now it is a public-private joint venture, and you should belong to the glorious working class. What delicious food does your home have?"
"Xiao Xia has ordered the dishes. You can sit back and I will send the menu to the kitchen for you to cook."
Aunt Liu delivered the menu to the kitchen and said to the tall and thin middle-aged chef: "Xiao Xia brings her wife to dinner, Lao Liu, you have to use real skills. Don't be perfunctory like you usually do. Xiao Xia's tongue is very picky."
"Xiao Xia? That boy is here?" Old Liu was very happy. "Show two bowls of oxtail soup to them first, and I'll treat you."
Aunt Liu responded, took out the soup bowl and served the oxtail soup, and then took it to the outside with a tray.
When Xia Mingxing saw her at her husband's desk, she quickly took over, "Aunt Liu, I didn't order soup."
"We make something for me to eat, and serve you two bowls to try whether Lao Liu's craftsmanship has improved or declined." Aunt Liu shook her wrist after he took over, "Xiao Xia's wife, try it."
"Okay!" Li Xingxing scooped a spoonful of cold water and drank it into his mouth, "There is Polygonatum, wolfberry, and the taste of beef bones and beef."
Aunt Liu touched her hands: "It's amazing! Polygonatum, wolfberry, oxtail soup."
Li Xingxing said casually: "Replenish the kidneys and nourish yin, and nourish the essence and strengthen the bones."
