2634 The 'lost' beauty
It was mainly because Dong Fang’s words had evoked memories of her youth, and she was a little distracted. Old people liked to recall the past, so people often said that the mark of a person’s age was whether they had begun to recall the past.
Just as Dong Fang and Madam Jin were talking in a low voice, Bao Wenli finally recovered from the baptism of all kinds of luxury watches. The main reason was that he had never seen the world. Although he usually liked to look at luxury watches, it was the first time he had seen so many luxury watches in real life with at least two digits, followed by four zeroes. He was very excited.
However, he was now attracted by the solid menu on the table. It was not only thicker than a brick, but it was also beautiful and beautiful. The antique and charming lotus flowers on the cover were enough to shock people’s eyes.
“Let me see how expensive this so-called most delicious dish is.”
Bao Wenli felt that he had to know in advance so that he could share the cost of the meal with Dong Fang. There was also a basis to avoid paying too little, which would go against his original intention.
“Hiss …”
He didn’t expect that his eyes would almost pop out when he casually flipped to a page. He took a deep breath and rubbed his eyes hard with his hands. He found that it was indeed written that the classic Roast goose was 5888 Yuan per piece, and the spicy hot pot base was 3688 Yuan per serving.
It was really just a casual flip and he was stimulated. A dish that cost more than a thousand Yuan, Bao Wen had never eaten it before. Not to mention eating it, he had never seen or heard of it. It was the first time he knew that a dish could cost more than a thousand Yuan. As for the latter part, his hands trembled and he did not dare to look at it.
In his mind, a dish that cost more than a hundred Yuan per dish should be very expensive. He was already prepared to spend at least a thousand Yuan on this meal. Even if the two of them shared it, it would only cost a few hundred Yuan. He could still afford it. Now, it seemed that he was still too young.
Bao Wenli couldn’t help but look at Dong Fang, who was talking gently to his grandmother. For a moment, he didn’t know if he should tell his grandmother about this. This place was really too expensive. He felt that he wouldn’t be able to eat.
Thinking that he was eating such an expensive dish, Bao Wenli felt that his heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney were all in pain. Of course, the most painful thing was definitely his heart, his heart was in pain!
Dong Fang saw that Madam Jin was lost in her memories, so she kept quiet and did not disturb her. However, she noticed that something was wrong with Bao Wenli’s expression. His face was a little ugly, surprised, and some other meanings. It was too complicated for her to distinguish them at the moment, but when she saw the menu spread out in front of him, she had an idea.
Although Madam Jin was the most skilled person in their village, and the government had also put in a lot of effort in developing the Miao village in recent years, economic development could not be done in a short time. Madam Jin’s family was not very rich, and it was just ordinary.
It was normal for her to not understand when she suddenly saw that the prices of so many dishes were very different from those of ordinary restaurants. Seeing that Bao Wenli had hesitated several times to speak to granny Jin and finally decided to speak, Dong Fang immediately said,””Mr. Yang, you can take a look at these pages. They are all Miao tribe dishes. You can see what you want to eat. You don’t have to be polite. Just order whatever you want. The main reason why I’m treating you today is to celebrate with everyone. Let’s have a good time. Don’t be embarrassed.”
With a gentle smile on her face, Dong Fang quickly turned the menu to the Miao section of the ethnic food section and handed it to Bao Wenli.
The Han name in Baowen was Yang Wu, but this was the name he would introduce when he went out to work. He was usually called by the Miao name in the village.
Bao Wenli, who had been mentally prepared to talk to grandma about the price of the dishes even if it would ruin her good mood, was interrupted when she was about to speak. Then, she subconsciously looked down at the menu as Dong Fang moved.
Several dishes that came into view cost 90 or 100 to 200 yuan. Although there were expensive dishes later, he knew many of them. These dishes were all big dishes in the Miao village. They were not often made. They were only made during festivals. The process was cumbersome and the ingredients were particular. It was only natural that they were more expensive.
He then looked at Dong Fang, who was looking at him gently. Bao Wenli immediately understood what Dong Fang meant. He looked at the menu and then at his grandmother, who was still in a daze and did not notice what was going on. He gritted his teeth and said,”Alright, thank you, miss Dong.”
In his heart, however, he made up his mind to order two snacks or a cheaper vegetable dish. Although it still cost a few hundred Yuan, which was a pain, it was not impossible to afford.
Seeing Bao Wenli agree with her, Dong Fang heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She knew that Yuan Zhou’s restaurant had the best price-performance ratio. However, for a person who came here for the first time, especially for people like Bao Wenli who didn’t know anything about Yuan Zhou, she naturally couldn’t accept it. Fortunately, she didn’t say it out loud. Otherwise, she could imagine granny Jin’s reaction.
At this moment, su Ruoyan had finally finished ordering the dishes of the people in front of her. She walked in front of them and, following the order of order, asked Zhang Xin who had entered the door first.
Zhang Xin, who had enjoyed the show for free, had forgotten about the Cantonese dishes she had previously thought of and immediately thought of Miao dishes. Anyway, she had prepared the sour plum sauce, so no matter what food it went with, it would go well with it without any pressure.
“I’ll have a sour fish soup, a three-colored glutinous rice, and a stir-fried preserved meat with folded roots. I’ll have these first. ” Zhang Xin was rarely so generous.
It was mainly because when she looked at the menu just now, she felt that these dishes went well with her sour plum sauce. Besides, they were here to celebrate, so she ordered some extravagantly.
“Alright, please wait a moment.”
Su Ruoyan memorized Zhang Xin’s dishes and turned to ask Dong Fang and the others,””What would you like to order?”
Dong Fang and Bao Wenli immediately turned their eyes to Madam Jin. Since there were elders present, it was natural for the elders to order first.
Su Ruoyan also shifted her gaze to granny Jin. It wasn’t her first time seeing an ethnic person come to eat in ethnic clothing, especially after Yuan Zhou served the new ethnic cuisines. She felt it was her first time seeing such an elegant old lady.
Although her face was full of wrinkles, one could still see the beauty between her eyebrows. Even though she was old, she was still a beautiful old lady. Coupled with the clanking Miao costume, she looked even more beautiful.
Madam Jin finally returned to her senses after being stared at by a few people. When she saw the small notebook and pen in su Ruoyan’s hand, she knew that the young lady was here to order. She then looked at Dong Fang and Bao Wenli and asked,””I wonder if there’s any cured meat?”
Madam Jin’s eyes were gentle. It was obvious that she had thought of something beautiful. In fact, she was thinking the same.
Cured meat was very famous in the Miao tribe. Many parents would make a jar of cured meat when their children were born and take it out to serve their guests when they got married.
Madam Jin had such a jar of bacon, so not only did she remember the sweetness of her wedding, but she also remembered the jar of bacon. Therefore, when Dong Fang mentioned it, she thought of it and suddenly wanted to taste the bacon again to see if it was still as beautiful as she remembered.
