When I went in, the space suddenly became bigger. It was a serious dining hall with only a few orange lights on and dim light. There is also an aisle on the right, parallel to the aisle just now, with a long queue. This is a snack street, with more than a dozen time-honored brands such as Yueshengzhai, tripe chicken, tea soup and plum blossom, rice cake money, cow, sheep head horse, bean curd white and so on. It is particularly interesting that the names of many private rooms are named after Beijing place names such as Qianmen and Chongwenmen, showing the flavor of old Beijing.
