Chapter 362 Eating in the Air Raid Shelter
When Xiang Yisen's deep gaze glanced over at her, the Shanshuang girl nervously pinched the hem of her clothes. Later, she saw that he just looked at her casually and turned back without saying anything.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't know why. Among the three people in the team, they were not afraid of Lu Jinzhong or Yu Qing, but they were afraid of this tall and handsome man who said nothing.
His aura is so intimidating!
Seafood Street is still as lively as ever.
No!
It should be said that it was more lively than the last time they came!
The products at the street stalls have a few more varieties than last time.
Yu Qing observed the past, mainly looking at the quality and style of these products. The quality of the goods she wanted to purchase was more important than quantity.
When we arrived at Brother Hai's shop, just like last time, he was sitting in the shop eating breakfast.
Seeing the group of them, he was obviously shocked, "Beautiful girl, oh! I never expected you to come to Yangcheng. Please take a seat."
"Brother Hai, long time no see! You are still so rich and charming." Yu Qing looked at him and said with a shy smile.
"Haha, pretty girls speak beautifully." Brother Hai smiled broadly. After asking him to sit down, he looked at the unfinished breakfast on the table and asked politely: "Have you eaten breakfast? If not, I will have it brought over.
"
"Thank you, we have already eaten."
Brother Hai packed up his breakfast in the back kitchen, came out and sat down and asked, "When did you arrive in Yangcheng?"
Yu Qing smiled her signature smile, very sweetly, "Yesterday, I came to say hello to Brother Hai when I couldn't get here."
"Haha, okay. Just because you regard Brother Hai as a friend, I will treat you all to dinner at noon today, so that you can take care of yourself." Brother Hai said boldly.
"That would be disrespectful." Yu Qing was not polite to him. The two of them had business dealings, and it would be unkind to be too polite to each other.
A few people chatted for a while, and Yu Qing and Brother Hai learned about the changes in the seafood street during this period, as well as some of the popular products.
At noon, Brother Hai was the host and took them to a private restaurant without a sign in the back street.
The environment is quite quiet. In a city with high temperatures like Yangcheng, the air here is cool. When you come in from the outside, you feel that the temperature here has dropped a few degrees.
The dining table is placed in a shady corridor, and there is a breeze blowing through it, so it is very cool!
Brother Hai entered the kitchen at the back first and didn't know what he said to the boss. When he came out, he asked everyone to follow him.
He explained: "It's cool to sit in the corridor, but it's still hot when you eat. I'll take you to a cooler place."
Yu Qing couldn't think of any place that could be cooler than here. There seemed to be no air conditioning in China at this time.
Brother Hai led everyone through the main room and out the back door. There was a small private room behind the main room, which looked like a private room in a hotel in later generations.
After entering, there is a set of tables and chairs in the room. Beyond the tables and chairs, there is a staircase extending downwards at the innermost position.
"Ho! There's something special about this place!" Lu Jinzhong didn't expect that he would have to go underground just to have a meal.
Brother Hai said proudly: "You haven't eaten underground, have you?"
"..."
Everyone thought this sounded strange.
"Isn't there a tomb down here?" The girl with double eyelids pulled Lu Jinzhong and asked in a voice that only two people could hear.
Just thinking about it was terrifying. The girl with double eyelids shuddered. It would be too unethical to occupy the tombs of ancestors just for a meal.
Lu Jinzhong didn't think much about it at first, but was shocked by this reminder, "Can't? Don't scare me! I've been scared since I was a child, I've never seen anything before."
Yu Qing and Xiang Yisen looked at each other. This was really their first time eating underground.
Hegola turned on the street light next to the stairs, walked underground first, and said to himself: "Don't be afraid, this used to be an air-raid shelter, but later it was abandoned. The owner of this place happened to be a restaurant owner, and he found that eating underground was not only quiet but also quiet.
It was cool, so he took advantage of the air raid shelter behind the house."
Xiang Yisen took Yu Qing's hand and followed.
Yu Qing was even more curious. She had only seen the word air-raid shelter in textbooks before. This was the first time she had seen a real air-raid shelter.
The stair passage is not wide and can only accommodate two people walking side by side. As you go down, a cool air surges up from the underground, and the heat outside quickly recedes from your body.
Underground is a not-so-wide passage, only about ten meters long and about three meters wide. There is an electric light installed every one meter on the wall.
This passage is just wide enough to place a square table and chairs, and there is still one side left for people to pass through. There is also a ditch under the corner opposite the table. Miraculously, this ditch is still running water.
This is strange!
The owner of this restaurant should have repaired it. The ditch has been smoothed with cement and a faucet has been installed on it so that customers can wash their hands there.
There are five tables arranged in the entire passage, and now they are the first table of customers at noon.
"It's so cool in here!" Yu Qing washed her hands and face. It felt so comfortable.
"Haha, right, I'm not lying to you, it's really cool here." Brother Hai smiled and introduced: "This place is not open to the public. Usually the people who come here are old customers, and most of the people who come here to eat are for the underground.
It's for the air-raid shelter, especially in the dog days of summer. If you arrive late, you won't have a place here."
"We are the earliest ones here today." Yu Qing said with a smile. She could not imagine the feelings of people hiding in air-raid shelters in the past.
"Yes, when it's time to eat, the seats here will be full." Brother Hai helped everyone pour a cup of herbal tea.
While a few people were talking, the waiter came down with the dishes.
Brother Hai: "I don't know what kind of taste you like, so I ordered some Cantonese specialties. The cooking skills of this restaurant are good and the taste is very good. You can try them later."
"Okay, actually I also like Cantonese food."
Yu Qing did not deal with Brother Hai just to be polite. Although she likes spicy food, she also likes Cantonese cuisine that focuses on health care.
The taste of Cantonese cuisine pays attention to "clear, fresh, tender, smooth and fragrant". It pursues the original taste of raw materials. The original dishes are desirable and memorable.
So when the dishes such as white-chopped chicken, honey-glazed black barbecued pork, steamed grouper, keel-stewed corn, and boiled shrimp are served, they are really delicious and delicious.
Everyone wasn't feeling hungry yet, but as soon as the food arrived, just the smell of the food made them ravenous.
Yu Qing served half a bowl of soup to Brother Hai, Xiang Yisen and herself, and said to Xiang Yisen: "This is their old-fashioned soup. It has been simmered for several hours. It is nutritious and nourishes the stomach."
"Yes, pretty girl knows our Cantonese cuisine very well." Brother Hai asked Lu Jinzhong and the others to pick up whatever they wanted to eat, you're welcome.
Halfway through the meal, a plate of water chestnut cake was finally served.
Yu Qing discovered that many of the people's food here are associated with horse's hoof. The factory also produces various canned water chestnuts, and many dishes include water chestnuts.
She was thinking about buying some water chestnuts to take back when she went back. They were good for eating raw or cooking. She liked to use water chestnuts to make soup.
