"But it's no use. A three-wheeled motorcycle is easily pushed away. We can't catch it at all. The businessmen here are all old neighbors. As soon as the urban management officers show up, the news will spread across the one-kilometer long street.
They can't even catch a strand of hair when they get there. It's actually more fun for the diners on the street. Hey! Everyone has fun every night. The urban management officers chase, the hawkers run, and the diners follow the food stalls. "
"Why? The skewers are not cooked yet, the wontons are still in the pot, and they've paid for it. If they don't follow them, they'll lose money. "
Qin Guan was amused at the thought. Isn't this a replica of my small business in Y City? It was just that the people here were even more clueless.
When Liu Xiaoyang saw that everyone was so interested, he became even more spirited. He continued, "The Dongcheng District Government saw that this wouldn't work. It was better to let it go than to block it, so they simply regulated this street directly. So, from the initial exclusion to the support of special economic zones, the Commerce Commission even named this place 'Dongnei Dining Street'. “
Everyone in the dormitory thought, "That's an interesting story. But this is the Ghost Street. How did it become a 'gui' character?"
Liu spread out his hands. "The word 'gui' is not elegant, so the staff of the Dongcheng District Committee tried hard to change the name of the street." “
"The bosses here thought it was impossible. The Fengshui here is based on the word 'gui'. If they changed the name, the Fengshui would be ruined. They wouldn't be able to do business here in the future. "
Speaking of this, Liu Xiaoyang looked around, put his head in front of everyone, and said in a low voice: "It's not for outsiders. It is said that everyone in the Fengshui Bureau has been invited. As for whether it is the Bureau of Commerce or the bosses here, there is no way to verify it."
"The master found the word 'gui', which has the same sound but a different character, and it has something to do with food. There were masters among the staff of the Commerce Commission, so they took the word out of the dictionary."
"The government of the Dongcheng District made a big bronze statue of 'gui' at the end of the Dongzhimen overpass. That's how the civilized Gui Street came to be. That's the origin of the Gui Street. "
Oh, everyone suddenly understood. But what did this have to do with Liu Xiaoyang's choice of Xiaolin Hotpot Restaurant?
Liu Xiaoyang looked at the crowd with disdain and said, "You don't even know Xiaolin Hotpot Restaurant, and you call yourselves gluttons. You're all bullsh * t!"
As soon as he finished scolding them, he received a few slaps on his forehead. "Be honest and continue speaking. Which one of you is from the capital? How dare you say you're fat?"
Liu Xiaoyang was beaten up a few times and became obedient. He picked up a pen to tick on the menu and continued to speak.
"More than 10 years ago, this Xiaolin Hotpot was called Xiaolin Restaurant. At that time, there were only a few shops and a small dirt road on this street. It was really like an old Beijing alley. At that time, people didn't have places to eat at night, and no one ate supper. "
"One day, a husband and wife came to this street and opened a small shop. A plate of fish-flavored shredded pork, fried rice, 10 cents a plate of soy sauce chicken head, and the most popular cold dish was 1 yuan a plate. People who rode to and from work would ask for a plate of mixed bean curd and a bottle of wine …"
"Just like that, the shop gained popularity. Every evening, when the couple was about to close the shop, there would always be a few spots of light swaying on the shop's door. The couple thought it was strange."
"Later, the old neighbors told them about the legend of this street. The couple thought, 'What kind of deity is coming to eat at night?' Since this place is facing the street and there are many cars on the road, there must be dinner at night. Let's wait. "Waiting for people is also waiting for ghosts … (Comrades, do you understand?)
"When it first opened, there would be some customers around during the day. At night, there were no customers at all. This was the only place on the entire street, and it was losing money. At that time, it was rare to see a 24-hour restaurant in the whole of Beijing. The passersby said, 'There's a place that sells supper at Dongzhimen.' After a few months, Xiaolin Restaurant had more customers at night than during the day."
"After the noise at night died down, those little spots of light never appeared on the door again."
"Here." Liu Xiaoyang threw the menu in his hand. "Waiter, order!" Then he stopped talking.
Everyone asked in unison, "And then?"
Liu Xiaoyang replied curiously, "And then? What then? Then it disappeared. Everyone saw that there were quite a lot of people at night, so they opened a second shop, and then a third. This street became popular. "
Heh, what a strong start and weak finish. Everyone knew what those spots of light were. As for why the rumor ended here, no one knew.
The boss and the lady boss kept it a secret. This might be the source of their business.
As for now, everyone in the dormitory turned their attention to the food.
Speaking of which, Liu Xiaoyang was very cunning. When no one was paying attention, he ordered all his favorite dishes. When all the dishes were on the table, everyone realized that they had been ordered by the waiter.
But forget it. Seeing that the dishes were delicious, everyone forgave him. The spicy crayfish was charged by the amount, 4 yuan per crayfish. Each person ordered 20 crayfish first. Soon, a big steaming pot was served.
Liu Xiaoyang ordered the double-flavor pot, and the juice was free. Before all the side dishes were served, they buried their heads in the crayfish.
As a foodie, what was the most important thing? That was professionalism.
Everyone should be familiar with crayfish and have eaten it before. But how many people could eat the crayfish in their hands in the most perfect way? I'm sure it was less than 20%.
。
However, under Liu Xiaoyang's recommendation, everyone in the dormitory quickly learned how to eat it. This should be the most standard way to eat spicy crayfish.
First, they divided the crayfish's body and pincers into two. Holding the body in one hand and the pincers in the other, they peeled off the meat from the tail, which was easier to eat.
Then, they peeled off the four pincers one by one and put the tender meat into their mouths one by one. The rest of the crayfish could be sucked in the delicious gravy.
Finally, they put all their fingers into their mouths and licked them. Finally, they finished the whole crayfish. Only in this way could they truly understand the true meaning of spicy crayfish.
All right, let's cut to the chase. How many of you are hungry? Please raise your hands! Anyway, they were eating fiercely.
When the bottom of the hotpot was boiling, they raised their heads and breathed heavily in satisfaction. Only then did they realize that they had met some acquaintances while eating crayfish.
Several strong men were sitting at a table diagonally across the hall. Bu Qinglu and Wang Hailiang were among them. There were two boxes of empty beer bottles on the table, but the dishes on the table had not been touched. The dinner had just started, but they were already drinking.
