Riding a donkey back to 60s

The slanting wind and drizzle, and the wet and cold weather made Xia Ye and Li Liqiu, who came from the north, a little uncomfortable.But I can't stop my enthusiasm for exploring a foreign land for the first time. Thinking about the food programs broadcast on TV in the later generations, Xia Ye plans to take Li Liqiu to search for Shanghai's food in the next few days!For the lunch meal, I plan to take Li Liqiu to J Jiang Restaurant to have a look together, I heard that the food there is more comprehensive and exquisite.When Xia Ye came to the Shanghai stock market, Xia Ye was ready for the Overseas Chinese Remittance Coupon. Although the processing workshop did not prepare too much, it was enough!It's just that Xiaobai has been absorbing energy and hasn't come out, Xia Ye is also worried.

J Jiang Hotel is located on Changle Road. It is a public-private partnership restaurant. It used to be composed of J Jiang Restaurant and J Jiang Tea Room. It is also famous all over the country in later generations. The Sichuan cuisine here is also very authentic!Xia Ye brought Li Liqiu here. For Li Liqiu, this journey was novel, with many people, many buildings, revolving wooden doors, and polite welcome, all of which gave Li Liqiu a novel feeling!When she came to the restaurant and took the menu from the service staff, Li Liqiu took it at a loss, and said softly to Xia Ye: "Yeba, is this too expensive? Is the meal ticket enough?"

Xia Ye raised her index finger and shushed lightly, patted her hand comfortingly and said in a soft voice: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, with me together, you can rest assured that you can play and eat happily, it's all enough." Yes! I have prepared a lot!" He took the recipes in Li Liqiu's hand.

Xia Ye reached out to call the waiter, pointed at the waiter's menu and said: "Braised lion's head, steak with nut sauce, drunk crab, catfish in white sauce, stir-fried shrimp, one fried, one small steamed bun, come again 1 bottle of Coke, [-] bottle of ebony soda, thank you!"

The waiter placed the order and took away the menu. Li Liqiu looked at Xia Ye, her big eyes twinkled and she looked at Xia Ye with admiration: "Yeba, you look so calm when you order!"

Xia Ye chuckled: "I'll come this time, next time you will come!"

Li Liqiu hurriedly waved her hands: "No, no, you should come! I will show up when I come!"

While speaking, two bottles of drinks were brought up first, and the bottles had already been opened!Xia Ye poured Coke and ebony soda into glasses respectively, pushed them to Li Liqiu and said, "Try and see which cup you like to drink?"

Li Liqiu looked at the two of the same color, and took a sip of Coke first: "It tastes weird, a bit killer? But it's okay!" He took another sip, squinted his eyes, with a satisfied smile .

Xia Ye looked at it and pushed the one with ebony soda forward: "Try this again!"

Li Liqiu sipped lightly: "Ah, it's not as good as the one just now!"

Xia Ye nodded and brought back the ebony soda, took a sip by herself, Li Liqiu looked at it, bit her lips and said, "You can ask for another cup!"

Xia Ye shook her head: "You can't burden the working people! This is very sweet and delicious!" As he spoke, he took a sip from the cup Li Liqiu had drunk.

Li Liqiu pouted: "You are such a rascal!"

Xia Ye shook her head and smiled, "How can I dislike my daughter-in-law!"

At this time, the waiter came over to serve the dishes: "Drunk crabs, fried shrimps, take it easy!"

Xia Ye expressed her gratitude, took the chopsticks, put shrimps in the bowl for Li Liqiu: "Eat, eat, daughter-in-law!"

Li Liqiu nodded, put it in his mouth, Xia Ye looked at Li Liqiu eating with satisfaction, smiled with satisfaction, picked up the drunk crab with his hand and put it on the plate in front of Li Liqiu, and asked: "Daughter-in-law, how about the shrimp?" Sample?"

Li Liqiu swallowed and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's delicious!"

Xia Ye tasted it, and it was light and refreshing, delicious and tender, so he said: "Shrimps are easy to digest, so it doesn't matter if you eat more! Try that drunk crab!"

Li Liqiu looked at it, and said in surprise: "Is this raw? Can it be eaten?"

Xia Ye nodded: "This is a famous dish in Shanghai. Men eat shrimp and women eat crab. It's very nutritious and marinated! It's delicious! Try it!"

Li Liqiu nodded, lightly bit the crab meat inside the crab shell, nodded: "It's so fresh, it smells like wine, it's sweet! It's delicious!"

Xia Ye smiled and removed the crab in his hand, put it on Li Liqiu's dinner plate, and said to Li Liqiu: "I'm not lying to you? Eat again! There are more!"

Li Liqiu nodded while eating: "You eat too! I'll do it myself!"

Xia Ye smiled: "If you don't know how to do it, you will prick your hand, I will eat while doing it!" Xia Ye said and started to eat.

The individual drunken crabs in the pot are relatively complete, the color is green and yellowish, the meat is tender, the taste is extremely delicious, the wine is rich, and the taste is sweet.Xia Ye couldn't help but nodded while eating, it was indeed the right time to come here.

Dishes were served one after another, whether it was stewed lion's head or steak with nut sauce, the taste was very authentic, and Li Liqiu's mouth was shiny.After eating everything, Li Liqiu straightened up, let out a sigh of relief, wrinkled her nose and said to Xia Ye: "Ah! I'm so useless! I'm a bit full!"

Xia Ye went on to say: "If you're not promising, you're going to be worthless! Just be my little daughter-in-law!" Then she passed a napkin across the table to Li Liqiu's mouth: "Wipe it quickly, the pork rib juice is sticking to it!" !"

Li Liqiu's face turned red, and she glanced around, seeing that no one noticed, she hurriedly took it over, lowered her head and wiped it vigorously, raised her head, and asked Xia Ye: "What about now?"

Xia Ye looked at the little red face wiped by Li Liqiu, and sternly said: "Then what are you doing so hard? It's very clean! Next time, be gentle!"

Li Liqiu smiled flatteringly at Xia Ye.

Xia Ye recruited the waiter to settle the bill. When Li Liqiu heard the number 88, her little face was always bewildered, and she was still a little anxious!In the days when ten yuan can make the couple well-off for a month, 88 is really a huge sum of money!Although Li Liqiu ate very happily, but now she is also a little uneasy, which is too calamity.

Xia Ye looked at Li Liqiu, who was absent-minded and worried since she came out of the hotel, and had no choice but to lead her back to the Shanghai Hotel, and when she got to the room and closed the door, she took Li Liqiu's little hand and asked softly: "What's wrong? "

Li Liqiu said worriedly: "Yeba, is there not enough money? What can I do if I don't have enough? There is also a house, is such a good room expensive! I didn't even ask and lived here, how stupid!"

Seeing Li Liqiu's anxious look, Xia Ye had no choice but to turn around and pretend to take out two wads of money from his pocket: "Yes! You are a little fool! Little fool! Look!"

As soon as Li Liqiu saw the money, she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands, for fear of exclaiming, and when she recovered, she quickly asked, "Where did this come from?"

Xia Ye nodded Li Liqiu's head: "Little fool, have you forgotten the rich land we went to?"

Li Liqiu shook her head, expressing that she hadn't forgotten, Xia Ye nodded to her: "How do you know me and the people in the factory? I also sell wild animals and grains, and our family has a lot of money! What about you! Just eat and drink, absolutely Enough to eat! Stop thinking so much with your little head!"

Li Liqiu nodded again and again, almost fainted at Xia Ye, why is her Yewa so powerful? !

Xia Ye said to Li Liqiu: "Are you tired? If not, let's go to the department store here! I heard that there are also imported products!"

Li Liqiu nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, hurry up!"

Xia Ye led Li Liqiu to the first state-owned department store retailer after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Shanghai No. [-] Department Store.

The Shanghai No. [-] Department Store is operated by several stores in a Huizi-shaped shopping mall with signboards. The opening in the middle of the Huizi is the warehouse area of ​​each store. Each store has its own cabinet. Many department stores can You can buy it here, and now you can buy it in pieces, that is, a finished piece of clothing. You can buy it in pieces, such as the cutout, to meet the needs of the people. After all, it can be worn for another three years after sewing and mending.

Maybe I ran into Dachangxiu, the store was very crowded, and I had to queue up to buy something!When I got here, I would definitely buy some clothes for Li Liqiu, so Xia Ye took Li Liqiu to pick out red clothes and line them up to buy.There is a saying in the countryside that it is best for the bride to wear red all the time during the wedding month, which is a blessing for a prosperous family and a happy mood.Xia Ye wanted to give Li Liqiu the best luck, so Xia Ye bought one of all the red clothes, but there were too few of them!In addition to clothes, because it is close to Suzhou and Hangzhou, there are all kinds of silk fabrics, and bed sheets and bed covers are popular in Shanghai. Xia Ye had a hard time and bought seven or eight!If it wasn't for the consideration that they need to be placed outside for people to see, she would have wanted to buy some more. The quality at this time is good, not expensive, and has a long service life!

Li Liqiu also helped Xia Ye choose some shirts and some fake collars, thinking about buying a few for his brothers and sisters, and bought two clothes, trousers and shoes for the mothers of the two families. Hua, if she didn't care about money, she would also want to buy, buy, buy, and was afraid that if she bought too much, it would be inconvenient to carry, so she had to give up reluctantly.

Xia Ye looked at it and hurriedly said: "Buy it! Can't we just pack up and mail back what we bought later? I remembered that when we came here just now, didn't we pass by a post office?"

When Li Liqiu heard this, her eyes lit up, she nodded and said, "Okay! The things here are so complete and the colors are correct, much better than those in the county. It would be a pity if I didn't buy them back! The buttons my mother was looking for are also here. I saw it! My aunt wanted to hook a sweater last time, and I also saw that there are all wools here, so I want to buy it!",

Xia Ye looked at her dotingly: "Then why are you thinking about it? Buy it! As long as we can use it at home, we are not wasting it! Go! Go in line!"

So the two started the queuing mode to purchase everything that can be used at home or for marriage, from large ones such as cloth, clothes, and shoes to small ones such as thread ends and buttons. With a regretful face, I squeezed out of the shopping crowd, walked to the post office, and packed two large packages and mailed them back to the village.
