On August 2 1 last year, I went to Zhoucheng, just before my son left. In the evening, he invited two friends, his wife and nephew, and then the six of us and our grandchildren held another party. We didn't attend at first, but we attended halfway.
At six o'clock in the evening, before we drove, because my son had arranged in advance, his two friends greeted us at the door. The janitor's face is not very big, and four "shrimp-flavored crab craftsmen" shine. The door faces east, and there is a pedicure shop in the south, which looks a little delicate.
Into the restaurant, followed by tobacco, alcohol and other necessities of life, turn inside. It's full of people, and the space is not small. A chandelier hung on the steel roof, giving off a faint light, with six or seven tables in the middle. We stay in the south and east, and the C-shaped sofa is closely connected. There is also a KTV in the middle of the north wall with a wall-mounted TV.
According to my son's friend, there were two empty tables left in the hall, and then there were no seats at all. It seems that this restaurant is prosperous and popular, and it is not too much to be packed. My family and I always sit on the sofa, and they sit on the other three sides. The table is not very big, rectangular, and even the chairs are white stubble. It may be the product of my hometown, because our county is known as "the hometown of desks and chairs in China".
Near the south, slightly lower than the main hall, there are also tables connected together, and seats and numbers are available at intervals, which are suitable for couples or two friends, father and son (female) and mother and son (female). There are two artificial trees on both sides of the hall. There are birds on the trees, and the one on the west is wrapped in colored plastic paper. There are thick ropes hanging down, and there are light bulbs at the lower end, which are not very strong and orange.
Each table has a color-coded menu with a small piece of paper printed with several different flavors of lobster. There are many dishes attached below, and there are small boxes at the back. If you want something, just tick the box. The main course here is lobster, which is cheaper per catty 19.8 yuan than other places, and there are many other vegetables and varieties.
The hall was full of tables, men, women and children, people coming and going, and hundreds of people gathered together, making a lot of noise. Even face to face, you can't hear each other clearly without talking loudly. If you are old and have heart disease, this place is rare, and the noise is unbearable for you.
Lobster has several cooking methods, such as frying, spicy cooking and salty taste. Only you can't think of it and can't do it.
First, a pot of lobster braised in spicy oil was served. As for what seasoning is put in it, it is not clear. A pot is full of soup and shrimp, and lobster is red. Other seasonings float on the soup. I drank white wine with Guo and beer with my son and Mr. Meng, but none of my family drank it. Wife and nephew want to drive, not drink. I caught one, and my whole body was red. It looks good, but when I eat spicy food, I don't like it very much, but in Rome, I have to eat it.
Lobster is not small, but there is not much meat. It's just a pleasure. It looks great when you are satisfied and in a mood. When you look at the hard shell, except for the big head, its meat is terrible, only a little.
Then I served a plate that was not spicy, with a lot of minced garlic in it. It seems that you can't eat this food without seasoning, otherwise the taste will be greatly reduced. It's delicious, so we can talk while eating, because my two friends and I have been sitting there, and they are not at home, but they are young after all. Here, I am an elder, and I am older. I listened most of the time, interrupted occasionally, and talked a few words. I listened more and said less.
I don't know whether my son's two friends are bike lovers or radio lovers. Among them, Meng Xiao is a chef in the bank, waiting for the unit leader to eat. The young man is about forty years old, with short hair and fine features. Do you think he has been in the company for many years and his brain is not flexible? After all, dealing with leaders every day, no brains, no scheming, it is not easy to mix here. According to my son, he has a calculation and a lot of benefits to make the leaders happy. People are like this. If you can mix, it won't be bad. When it comes to the reputation of a chef, there are many benefits. Follow the mountains and rivers, because that's not the way to go.
Guo is a policeman and general manager of the March 8th convenience market in Chengdu, and he deals with small vendors every day. He usually comes into contact with unscrupulous people in the world. In the words of the peasant family, he is a social weakling, and his mouth will say, "Uncle". When we clink glasses, we always put them lower than mine, which is my respect. This person has many wineries, and he is a little person who walks the rivers and lakes, but it can be said that.
This man is a fat man, with a big waist and baldness, like Lu in the Water Margin, but he has a flexible mind, a glib tongue and a fluent accent. He also has difficulties in dealing with millions of beings in this ordinary post.
Listen to him, talk about what he saw and heard, talk about some leaders drinking together, fighting hard, drinking to a certain extent, reaching out and throwing a few tablets of "metformin" into their mouths, regardless of his high blood pressure and high blood sugar, alcohol test, who cares, whether he lives or dies. That sounds funny. Being a leader is natural and unrestrained, but there are also difficulties and unique conditions for being trampled on.
My son once said that Xiao Guo plays cars and sells used cars in his spare time. Over time, he has made progress and gained experience in a certain field. He will find the doorway and benefit from it. Small fruit wages are not high, there is no external search, and there is no tertiary industry. Can he support his family?
Lobster is connected to two cauldrons, then cooked peanuts, shredded potatoes, cucumber with sesame sauce, sweet pumpkin, and a small dish of jiaozi. Halfway through, our grandson and his mother (daughter) arrived again. The daughter-in-law and granddaughter didn't eat much, and the grandson began to eat again. He likes seafood and so on, and lobster is also his favorite, especially lobster with spicy taste. Before long, there was a pile of lobster skins on the mountain table in front of his seat. It seems that his food is delicious and good, otherwise he would have eaten somewhere else and come here. Can his stomach take it? Look at him eating a greasy face with relish. It's not as good as delicious. When he spoke, he was too flustered to speak.
Granddaughter is young and eats little, but it is children's nature to be active and playful. She is no exception. She ran back and forth in the hall, climbed the karaoke table, and danced and sang by herself. It didn't matter if there was no audience. Only her grandmother cares about her. In her world, happiness is always with her. This is a happy childhood, a happy childhood.
Unconsciously, I spent an unforgettable night here. My family, relatives and friends got together, pushed a cup for a change, told anecdotes, told stories about my love for my children, got together again and again, met again and again, and formed the friendship of ocean deep in each other's hearts. Life is too short, how many more days can we get together?
All good things must come to an end. Getting together is a profound friendship and a manifestation of friendship. In the handshake, we waved goodbye. On the way, the lights flashed, the vehicles shuttled, and they went home, never returning to the community for a long time.
