Zhu Hongxing is a noodle shop in Suzhou, the façade is very grand, it is said that the price is also particularly expensive, every time we pass by it, we do not squint, knowing in our hearts that we have nothing to do with it. We ate noodles only to the snack bar at Sanyuanfangkou, which was a frequenting place for students from several nearby schools. Even the noodles in the snack bar, I don't often enjoy them. A bowl of large glossy noodles in the store costs two and a half grain stamps and nine cents, while buying baked potatoes from a small stall to eat only costs three or four cents is worth a bowl of noodles, and there is no need for food stamps.
Only The fat teacher Wang, who teaches mathematics in Su High School, often goes to Zhu Hongxing to eat noodles or tangyuan, and it is said that Teacher Wang's father is a big capitalist in Shanghai, who earns more than 100 yuan a month, and it is not enough for one person to spend. During the Cultural Revolution, Teacher Wang took a tricycle to Zhu Hongxing to eat noodles, which became a huge crime that sensationalized the whole school, in fact, his legs and feet were inconvenient, and if he did not take a tricycle, he could not go to Zhu Hongxing at all.
However, Chen Benye and I suddenly had a whim, and we went to Zhu Hongxing to eat noodles once.
That day we walked back to the school from Guanqian Street, and when we passed Zhu Hongxing, we inadvertently glanced at the price list at its door and found that in addition to those who did not know what "shrimp waist noodles" and "eel paste noodles" and other famous colors (shrimp waist, can a small shrimp also be specially cut off its waist?). Of course, it is a yellow eel, but why chop it into a paste? There are even "big glossy surfaces" and "medium glossy surfaces", and a bowl of large glossy surfaces is only two cents more expensive than the Sanyuanfang snack bar, and the food stamps are the same two halves. Hey! It turned out to be only two cents expensive, not an astronomical amount as we thought! We were tempted to pay only two cents, so why not give it a try? After a few days, Chen Benye and I really went to Zhu Hongxing to take an adventure.
Although we did have enough money in our pockets to buy a bowl of large glossy faces, we were still a little discouraged when we walked to its red-painted gate, as the saying goes, the shop is a big bully, which is really not bad at all! We walked into the store, casually found an empty table and sat down, just trying to scout where to buy chips, when a waiter came to the table. He looked at us and asked, "What do you two eat?" ”
We replied, "Two bowls of large glossy surfaces." ”
"Do you want something else?"
We look at each other, we already want a big glossy surface of one point per bowl, why do we want anything else? So he said, "Nothing else." ”
After a while, two bowls of steaming noodles were brought to the table. We took a sip of soup first, wow! It's unusual! The soup is exceptionally delicious, and it is perfectly qualified to treat this soup as a dish alone. Then use chopsticks to pick up the noodles to take a look, found that it is particularly thin, a bite in the mouth, slippery and tough, really delicious. In an instant, the two bowls were facing the sky.
The way to pay is also different from the Sanyuanfang store, we have not yet walked to the counter at the door, only to hear a shout behind us: "Two bowls of large glossy noodles-" The tail note dragged long, like singing. At first, I thought that the waiter dog looked down on people, afraid that we would run away without paying, so I shouted. But then I heard another cry: "A bowl of shrimp loin noodles--" Which made me understand that he treated every guest equally.
This adventure excited Chen Benye and I for several days, and anyway, we finally ate noodles in a famous noodle shop in Suzhou! But at the same time, I was a little worried that if they knew about it, would they criticize us for pursuing a bourgeois way of life?
