Shanghai is prosperous

Chapter 239 People rely on clothes
The three of them walked over and walked around these small restaurants, but Wang Yiyuan didn't find anything he particularly liked.But Wang Liping has a soft spot for a local noodle dish called 饹馇.

This is a noodle snack that is made into a cake shape with bean flour, cut into pieces and fried with Chinese cabbage.Wang Liping first tried to eat a small portion, and found the taste unique and delicious, so she asked the proprietress to fry a large portion, and she and Li Guanglin ate it for lunch.

Wang Yiyuan has never had much interest in pasta.The lady proprietress of the restaurant said, if you don’t eat the gala banquet, you don’t count as going to Tangshan.Little brother, you are from out of town, this dish is always delicious, do you want to have a portion too.

Wang Yiyuan waved his hand and said, I'm not used to pasta, so I'd better find a place with rice.But after asking many small restaurants in a row, they all directly said that there is no rice, only pasta and so on.

He had to turn back again.Seeing that Wang Yiyuan came back empty-handed, the proprietress smiled and said, little brother, don't look for it anymore, the small restaurants here basically don't sell rice.

She said, little brother, I will serve you a stewed fish, which is a big crucian carp from a nearby reservoir, and then a bowl of millet porridge, you can taste it first, and then add it when it tastes good, do you like it?Wang Yiyuan nodded in agreement.

The proprietress quickly served a piece of stewed fish from the big iron pot, and brought over a bowl of hot millet porridge.

Wang Yiyuan picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish and tasted it.They said to Li Guanglin, hehe, this fish is really delicious, the bones are crispy and the flesh is delicious.Da Li, come and try it too?

Li Guanglin took a bite of the fish, and said, is this our lumpy stewed fish?The taste, ingredients and seasoning are all the same.Wang Liping also deliberately tasted a little fish soup, and said, yes, it seems that even the taste of the soup is similar.

Wang Liping said to the busy proprietress, proprietress, your fish is made in the Northeast, right?

The proprietress replied that it is the method of stewing fish in the Northeast.Our family partner is from Harbin in Northeast China.Does it taste good?
Wang Yiyuan said that it is delicious and tastes good, but the salty taste is a bit heavier.You bring us two more fish like this, think of a way to make it a little lighter.

Not far from the shop, there is also a stall selling biscuits.The method of making sesame seed cakes looks quite unique. The crock is lying horizontally, the inner wall is pasted with cakes, and the outside temperature is baked inside.The baked sesame seed cakes are golden in color, crispy inside and out, and the meat filling is delicious, and the rich aroma can be smelled from such a long distance.

Wang Yiyuan got up and wanted to buy a few to try, but Li Guanglin stopped him and said, "Old Wang, we've already bought some biscuits."We were afraid that you wouldn't eat it, so we wrapped it up and didn't put it on the table.

Wang Liping took out the biscuits.Wang Yiyuan took a bite and couldn't help but praise, this sesame seed cake is always delicious.It is crispy and not greasy, crispy and delicious, and it has a special flavor in your mouth.

After eating a bowl of millet porridge, Wang Yiyuan ordered another bowl.When the proprietress brought it over, she asked casually, from the little brother's accent, he should be from the south, you come here to collect ceramics?

There was white sugar on the table, Wang Yiyuan picked up a spoon and added some to the millet porridge, and replied, yes.We just wanted to come and see the bone china here.

The proprietress smiled and said, then you really came to the right place here.The Gangyao Road ahead, and the road in front of our door, the places called Upper Village and Lower Village, are all small porcelain factories with all kinds of bone china.

The three of them sat at the small table outside the door and ate together.Wang Liping smiled, Lao Wang, now that you are in the real north, do you still want to eat rice?Shouldn't you taste more of the pasta here?
After eating for so many years, I still get used to rice.Wang Yiyuan smiled and said to Li Guanglin, Da Li, you performed very well this morning, beyond my imagination.The off-the-spot performance is also very good, it seems to be better than me, more like a customer, and even has a bit of a big boss.

Li Guanglin smiled while eating sesame seed cakes, Lao Wang, as long as you don't laugh at me, it's fine.In fact, I was quite nervous at the time, and I felt sweat coming out of my back.Fortunately, there is still a thick coat, otherwise I will show my timidity on the spot.

Wang Liping said, hehe, I also think that Da Li performed well this morning, which is quite like that.Come, come, eat more to make up for your hard work.

Li Guanglin paused for a moment, and laughed at himself, after working for so many years, this time can be regarded as a small boss, and he has passed his addiction.

Wang Liping pointed at Li Guanglin with her chopsticks, and deliberately reprimanded, Xiao Mian, are you freaking out?Why didn't I realize before that you have the ability to pretend to be a wolf with a big tail?
Li Guanglin looked a little embarrassed and just lowered his head to eat.

Wang Yiyuan said that it seems that there is some truth in the saying that people rely on clothing and Buddha depends on gold clothing.I think the northerners here are like this. Compared with us in the south, they may pay more attention to face-saving things.

Wang Liping said, what you said, Mr. Wang, actually makes sense.It's not that I'm making fun of you. To be honest, your current outfit is indeed not as good as our Da Li's.

Wang Yiyuan looked at his and Da Li's clothes, and said, my outfit is still fine.It's clean and refreshing.Hehe, the point is, I think these are very comfortable to wear on my body.

Wang Liping said, is it enough just to be clean and fresh?Look at the shoes you are wearing today, they were bought from a street stall for tens of dollars, right?

Knowing that Wang Liping must have a long story to continue, Wang Yiyuan just drank porridge and ate fish, and didn't say anything more.

Wang Liping said, Lao Wang, let me ask you, people in the north can't tell who is poor, and people in the south can't tell who is rich. Do you know this saying, and why?
Wang Yiyuan shook his head, expressing his ignorance.

Wang Liping said that the weather in the south is relatively hot, so they don't pay much attention to their clothes. Jeans and T-shirts are ordinary, casual and comfortable, and they are all the same on the street.Maybe it’s because of the cold weather in the north. If you have money or not, you have to buy a few sets of decent outfits, not only to keep out the cold, but also to show off.

She said that people rely on gold-coated horses and saddles, and they will suffer for their face.In fact, it mainly refers to us northerners.Northerners are more face-saving and like to judge people by their appearance. If they are poor, they will look down on them.

Li Guanglin echoed that southerners are relatively low-key. They have been instilled in childhood not to reveal their money, and the richer they are, the more they pretend to be poor, otherwise they will be called nouveau riche.We northerners, on the other hand, are relatively high-profile, hanging on big gold chains, wearing big gold rings, wearing gold and silver, and jewelry, which is very stylish.
