Dining places designated by the prefecture

Tang Qie is a very nostalgic person. For example, he only drinks one brand of mineral water, and only eats one flavor of biscuits. As long as these things are still available for sale, no matter how messy the new products become, he can stick to them. heart.

Of course, sometimes he will encounter some uncontrollable factors and forcibly change his choice.

For example, just today, after finishing his part-time job, he was about to go home for something to eat, but found that the small restaurant he often went to was not open.

The community he lives in is called Waterside Flower City, which is a mid-to-high-end community in the city. Because it is located in a golden zone, there is a very bustling commercial street on the periphery of the community, where restaurants and clothing stores abound.Every time he goes to eat at the sixth rice bowl restaurant from the left at the gate of the community.

The small restaurant was run by a couple, and they sold fried rice bowls and the like, because Tang Qi's mother was a successful company executive and was usually very busy.Since he could remember when he was a child, his mother would always go on business once or twice a month.In addition to developing Tang's independent character, this also made him a frequent customer of that small restaurant.

The owner of the small shop has been here for seven or eight years. It has always been rain or shine, and it is open on time every day. It did not expect that it would suspend business today.Tang Qi stood at the door, staring at the notice posted on the rolling gate for a long time,

In this case, you can only change one.He didn't bother to choose, and planned to choose a restaurant nearby to eat casually.He looked around and found that the nearest restaurant to him was a restaurant called Naihe Restaurant.

The decoration of this restaurant is very distinctive. The outside of the shop is paved with black stones, and the signboard is made of wood. It is not known whether it is written with paint or some red dye. The font is like a simplified version of Xiaozhuan.There are no publicity tools outside the store, and a curtain is installed on the door, which completely blocks the sight of the outside world.

Generally speaking, this kind of distinctive store is still very popular with young women, but Tang Qie is not very attractive.He prefers to go to stores with their doors open and price lists posted on the door.If I remember correctly, this store seems to have been here for several years. The rent of the storefront downstairs is extremely high, and the operating pressure is high, so the store is updated very quickly.

If this store can be opened here for several years without standing still, then it must have its own set of special features, right?

Tang Qi thought for a while, and finally walked in.

Opening the door curtain, what comes into view is a wall with black wallpaper printed with dark patterns, and a picture hanging in the middle, the two characters Fengdu are written in the bottom of the pen, and the left and right walls are decorated with The candle-shaped wall lamp, against the backdrop of the Yingying lights, these two words seem to be stained with evil spirits, swaying with the flickering lights.

Because "Feng" has too many strokes, Tang Qi didn't recognize the character at first glance.

Walking around the entrance, the sight immediately opened up. The decoration of the store is also very retro, matching the design of the store entrance. The tables and chairs in the house are all wooden, and there are some ink paintings and calligraphy imitations on the walls.

Tang Qie found that the store looked small, but the area inside the store was definitely more than the space of a store, and the area of ​​tables and chairs alone was twice the size of the small donburi restaurant he often went to.How big does the store have to be if you include the kitchen and other things?

He has lived here for several years, and he is fairly familiar with the internal architecture of the community, but he really doesn't understand the situation of this store.

I looked around the store for a few minutes and saw no one coming to entertain me. The empty store gave Tang Qie a bad feeling, and was about to leave when the curtain on one side of the store leading to the back was lifted. A tall, thin man dressed in white came out from here. The other party glanced at Tang Qie and said lazily, "Eat?"

The shop assistants all came out, and Tang Qi couldn't do anything to turn around and leave, so he just sat down and said, "Well, please show me the menu."

The tall and thin man glanced at Tang Qie, and at that moment Tang Qie began to wonder if he had said something wrong, and the other party's expression made him feel like an idiot.

The tall and thin man walked to the innermost counter against the wall, rummaged around, found a menu that was at least [-]% new and threw it to Tang Qi, "Brother, is this your first time here?"

"Hmm." Tang Qie already had black lines on his face, he really wanted to know, with such a waiter, how could this store not fail?

Hearing what Tang Qi said, the tall and thin man showed a genuine expression, then he pointed to the menu and said: "Actually, this thing is just a fake, so we will show it when the leaders come down for inspection. What to eat directly, we all get the ingredients directly from below, which is convenient.”

under?Tang Qi thought that the employee was showing off that their store had a lot of ingredients in the warehouse, so he didn't pay attention. Besides, he said that basic dishes like shredded pork with green pepper and scrambled eggs with tomato can be made by any restaurant, right?

He didn't even look at the menu, and said directly to the tall and thin man, "Let me have a bowl of rice with shredded green peppers and shredded pork, and a bowl of soup."

The tall and thin man nodded, turned around and went to the inner room.Tang Qi was the only one left in the store.Speaking of which, Tang Qie has seen this store for several years. Every time he passed by, he felt that the business of this store was bleak. He always thought that this store might not survive for a few days, but he did not expect to be able to persist until now.

While he was thinking wildly, there was a sudden movement outside the store. First he heard the sound of the door curtain being flipped, and then he saw a black cat pacing in slowly from outside the store.

Looking at the species, this is a very ordinary garden cat, with one blue and one yellow eyes, the whole body is pitch black, and the fur is smooth and smooth. It seems to be a domestic cat.

The black cat was obviously very familiar with this place, so it climbed up on the chairs and stepped across the tables, and finally jumped on the counter, bent down, curled up, and stared at Tang Qi with a pair of mandarin duck eyes.

Generally speaking, mandarin duck eyes appear on white cats, but this is the first time Tang Qi has seen black cats also have heterochromatic pupils.And the first time he saw this cat, he felt that this cat was different from others, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.It can only be said that this cat seems to be psychic, as if it has something to say to itself.

Like now, the cat is staring at him as if he were looking at fresh food.

It wasn't until the tall and thin clerk came out with the dishes that the embarrassing situation of one person and one cat staring at each other was broken.

When the clerk saw the cat came back, he didn't care that he was still carrying the food, and said, "Hey, old ancestor, you've come back. You haven't been here for a few days, and there is no one in charge of the shop."

This is probably an authentic cat slave. The cat was also accustomed to it. It scratched its face with its paws and continued to lie comfortably.

After the clerk served Tang Qie with rice, he turned to the front of the counter and began to talk to the cat respectfully.

"Old ancestor, a boy surnamed Yu came to you a few days ago, and I sent him away. At first he wanted to hang on, but in the end he insisted on asking me to give you this." The clerk said. He took out an old knife and coin pendant that can be seen everywhere on the night market stalls from his pocket, and waved it in front of the cat.

Then he was silent, as if waiting for the cat's reply.

But... how is this possible?Can the cat still say no?

After a moment of silence, the clerk probably felt that the atmosphere was too awkward, so he added: "Why are you so quiet today?"

The cat didn't speak.

The clerk continued to guess intimately: "Could it be that the people below are making you unhappy?"

The cat still didn't speak.

"Could it be that the subordinate told you about the Yu family..."

Before he could finish speaking, the cat who had been silent all this time finally moved. It straightened up unbearably, and patted the tall and thin man's face with its paw, hitting the bridge of the nose.The extremely standard Chinese was spit out from the mouth, still with a Beijing accent.

"You didn't realize that this customer is human!"

The author has something to say: it may be a little bug, so I plan to fix it again.
