Chapter 25： Only 4 left

　　 Meng Shitong is a freelance writer for a fashion magazine. What goes with fashion is food, clothing, housing and transportation.

After learning that there are young people in the city, the old food street with urban characteristics is about to be rebuilt, Meng Shitong also made a special trip with some friends, thinking about taking a walk now and taking some photos as a commemoration.

And Meng Shitong also plans to do a special interview after the old street is rebuilt to compare the old and new streets.

Old Street is not a long street, but a lot of criss-cross streets extending in all directions.

The most representative of them may be Meng Shitong and the others sitting on the street where the small restaurant named "Su Ji" is located.

Because the pavement on this street is older, and the whole street pavement is the kind of very simple wooden door panels.

After visiting other neighborhoods extending in all directions, Meng Shitong and his friends returned to this ancient street together. Because it was already afternoon, I planned to find a restaurant here to eat before going back.

And Meng Shitong is almost "Su Ji" at a glance, always think this small restaurant is very special.

Now sitting in a restaurant, holding a very special menu in his hand, looking at the names of some literati, poetic and picturesque dishes on it, Meng Shitong is more curious about this small restaurant.

glanced over the name of the dish on the menu, and quickly locked the top dish "Gold and Silver Play White Lion".

Meng Shitong raised his head to look at the lady boss who was in charge of recording the order and asked, "What kind of dish is this gold and silver play white lion?"

Su Ruoxi was a little embarrassed when she heard the name of the dish from the other party, because the name of the dish was given by her husband. She felt that the name of the dish was too elegant and not suitable for a small restaurant like Su Ji.

Before Su Ruoxi could explain, the old diners over there had already taken the lead to help explain.

"You have a unique vision. You can see the best dish on the menu at a glance. In fact, the dish is not very special. It is a lion head, but it is different from an ordinary lion head."

Lao Zhangtou emphasized: "Limited ones. If you want to eat, hurry up and make sure you won’t suffer."

Meng Shitong became more curious when he was said by a few elderly diners.

But without waiting for her to order this dish, the companion next to him took a look at the price and hurriedly whispered to dissuade.

"Shi Tong, don't order this, isn't it a lion head? It costs 60 for one, too expensive."

Meng Shitong glanced at his companion and then at the prices on the menu. After thinking about it, he raised his head and said to Su Ruoxi: "Then we will have four of us. It happens to be one for each of us."

I ordered Meng Shitong directly, and my companion couldn't help but pulled her and tried to stop it.

And Su Ruoxi heard this and said, "You want to order this? Then wait a minute, I'll ask if there is any more in the back kitchen."

Feng Ruoruo, who was by his mother's side, heard that her mother wanted to ask her father if she had any food, so she immediately asked: "Mom, let me ask."

Hearing her daughter said she was going to help and ask, Su Ruoxi agreed after thinking about it: "Well, you go and ask dad, do you still have Shuangtang catfish tofu lion head? There are more."

Feng Ruoruo saw that his mother had agreed, and immediately ran to the back kitchen. The short legs ran very fast, and he didn't know if he heard what his mother had said.

Meng Shitong looked at his companion and said, “It’s okay. Let’s taste it. This meal is a treat for me to experience the traditional food on this old street. Maybe I won’t be able to eat it anymore.”

The companions listened to Meng Shitong's words, and when they saw her asking for a treat, naturally they stopped talking any more.

And a group of old diners over there, Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Liu, they heard Meng Shitong say "I can't eat later", and their faces suddenly became sad.

Old Zhang head sighed and said, "Oh, I have eaten in this old street for most of my life. If the street is gone, I really don’t know where to eat delicious dishes."

Mrs. Liu also reluctantly shook her head and said, "Yes, I'm really afraid I won't be able to eat Su Ji's food for the rest of my life."

Listening to the sentimental words of the old diners, Meng Shitong couldn't help asking: "Old man, have you eaten in this restaurant for many years?"

Mrs. Liu looked at the other old diners, and then smiled and said, “I have eaten for most of my life. I used to live near here, but I moved out later, but I almost come here at least twice a week. ."

Other old diners also said that they have been eating at Su Kee for many years and they also like the taste of Su Kee.

There are some old diners who live nearby, and they even come to eat twice a day.

The old Zhang head said with a look of aftertaste: "Noodle fried rice in the afternoon, lion head with the setting sun in the evening, with a plate of side dishes and a sip of wine, it is really beautiful."

Listening to the old Zhang Tou's words, that kind of comfortable life scene suddenly appeared, which made the three tables of new guests present really a little yearning.

When everyone sighed in the restaurant, Feng Ruoruo ran into the back kitchen, looked at his busy dad, and shouted, "Dad."

Feng Yifan heard her daughter call herself, and did not stop what she was doing. At the same time, he turned his head and responded, "Is there, Ruoruo, what's the matter? Let's talk, dad listen."

But when the little girl was about to open her mouth to ask, she forgot what the dish was called?

Feng Ruoruo suddenly became a little anxious, standing on the other side of the cooking table for a while at a loss.

When Feng Ruoruo was a little nervous, Feng Yifan turned his head to look at his daughter, then smiled and said, "Are you going to ask if there are any dishes? It doesn't matter if you forget the name of the dish, you can describe what it is."

The little girl thought for a while, and then said: "I forgot, it's the gold and silver dishes that the aunt said."

When my daughter said this, Feng Yifan actually immediately thought of what the dish was. Because the name of the dish was something he could afford and created for his wife, he naturally understood what it was when he mentioned it.

"Oh, gold and silver play white lion, right? Go tell mom that there are four left."

Seeing that his father understood what he said, Feng Ruoruo also let out a sigh of relief: "Huh, does Dad know, there are four left? Then I'll go tell mom."

Watching her daughter run out quickly, Feng Yifan didn't forget to shout: "Run slowly, and be careful not to fall."

Feng Ruoruo was still very steady, and quickly ran to her mother's side and said: "Mom, Dad said, there are four left."

Su Ruoxi smiled and praised her daughter: "Well, yes, it's really hard work."

Meng Shitong looked at the little girl very interesting, and smiled and said, "Thank you little boss, for your hard work."

Feng Ruoruo was embarrassed to hide behind her mother when said by the other party, poked out a little head and said: "You are welcome, if you want something, you have to hurry up, otherwise there will be no more."

Meng Shitong smiled and nodded: "Okay, the boss, we want the last four."

Su Ruoxi also agreed, and gave some suggestions: "Okay, that dish is actually quite large, you can have a little bit less other dishes."

Meng Shitong expressed his gratitude: "Well, okay, thanks for reminding the boss."

Then Meng Shitong ordered a few more dishes that she thought was quite interesting, and she was most looking forward to the "Gold and Silver Play White Lion" with only four left.

After Feng Ruoruo got her mother to write the menu, she hurried to the back kitchen and put the menu in order. By the way, she did not forget to remind her busy dad.

"Dad, those four were ordered by others, don't give it to others."

Feng Yifan responded with a smile: "Okay, if the little princess is relieved, Dad will not make a mistake."

Feng Ruoruo turned around and ran out, seeing that the order was over, she returned to her grandpa, listening to her chatting with familiar grandparents.

The first thing that surprised Meng Shitong was that although Feng Yifan was the only one in the back kitchen, the speed of serving dishes was not slow.

The dishes of each table will be delivered quickly in batches.

And the first ones sent to Meng Shitong's table were the "Gold and Silver Play White Lions" placed in a small cup.
