The menu of a small tea restaurant includes the world. No matter rich or poor, you can find your own foothold in the tea restaurant. Don't complain about the poor service attitude of the tea restaurant. Eating in a tea restaurant is like fighting a war.

Jiuji beef brisket is famous in rivers and lakes, and the tomato powder in Shengxiangyuan opposite is also very popular. Although Cuihua has opened in rows, its pork buns are still tasteless.
