Now that we are in Haishi, we naturally want to eat Haishi’s specialties.
The hotel they stayed in was in the bustling area of Haishi, and there were many shops selling various things around it.
Before going out, Zhao Qinglan asked the front desk if there were any delicious local restaurants or restaurants around.
The front desk was still the one who checked her in, and he was also impressed by Zhao Qinglan, a "big customer".
When Zhao Qinglan asked, the other party enthusiastically recommended two shops.
There happened to be a restaurant relatively close to the hotel. After asking how to get there, they walked there.
Perhaps the food here is really good, and since it is a restaurant, the store is already 70% to 80% full.
Zhao Qinglan wanted to have a good meal with her family, so she asked if there were private rooms.
Fortunately, there were still private rooms, and they walked in under the guidance of the waiter.
After getting the menu, Zhao Qinglan looked directly at everyone.
"What do you want to eat?"
"I can eat anything." Li Huai was the first to express his opinion.
The Dawa brothers and sisters didn't know much about Haishi's local cuisine, so they all looked at Cheng Tao after hearing this.
Fortunately, Cheng Tao still knows a little bit. "Aunt Zhao, our braised pork, eight-treasure duck, white chicken and shrimp are all good."
Zhao Qinglan lowered her head and looked at the menu. All these dishes were available, so she ordered them all. In addition to the few mentioned by Cheng Tao, she also ordered braised pork belly, sweet and sour short ribs, sea bass, and crab meat buns.
Since these were all meat dishes, she added two more vegetarian dishes and a soup.
The staple food is of course rice. The daily staple food of Haishi people is rice. Although Zhao Qinglan and the others usually eat more noodles and steamed buns, they can't eat rice.
There were seven of them in total, and they had ten dishes and one soup. She thought it should be enough, and if there was not enough, they would add more dishes.
Because most of what Zhao Qinglan ordered were big and expensive dishes, the waiter also looked at her a few times.
When several people were communicating, the waiter could tell that they were not locals. Thinking that they were probably from out of town and wanted to taste the specialties of their sea market, the waiter emphasized a few words when announcing the dishes to the chef.
The master chef in charge of the kitchen immediately became excited and felt that these dishes should be prepared with special care and let outsiders try their delicious dishes.
No, I asked a few more words from the cook and the apprentice.
Zhao Qinglan still didn't know that they were being taken seriously by the master.
While waiting for the food, Zhao Qinglan also asked Qi Cheng Tao what interesting places he could visit in Haishi.
She only knew that there would be an Oriental Pearl TV Tower in Haishi in the future, but now Pudong has not yet been developed, so how could she know that there was anything to visit in Haishi now.
Cheng Tao worked hard to explore the limited knowledge about his hometown in his mind.
I have to say that the serving speed of the restaurant is quite fast. It takes about seven or eight minutes for the first dish to be served, and then another dish will be served every minute or so.
When all the dishes were served, the waiter closed the private room door and went out.
Erwa's eyes lit up when he saw so many dishes that he had almost never eaten.
Zhao Qinglan had eaten some of these dishes in her previous life, but she didn't know they were Haishi specialties at that time, and she had never tasted some of them either.
While tasting delicious food, her professional habits couldn't help but emerge.
Well, this eight-treasure duck is good, it also contains diced bamboo shoots, ham, chestnuts and other ingredients.
The white-chopped chicken is plump, tender and delicious.
The braised pork is fat but not greasy, crispy but not rotten, sweet but not sticky, thick but not salty.
The sweet and sour short ribs are sour and sweet, and taste great.
Except for Cheng Tao and Zhao Qinglan, who had just eaten at home, they were all hungry. They were all full of praise after eating the various dishes that the chefs showed more than usual.
They didn't evaluate it as accurately and professionally as Zhao Qinglan, but they just felt it was delicious!
If it tastes good, eat more. Originally, it was a bowl of rice per person, but it was all gone after a while. Zhao Qinglan had to ask the waiter to bring ten more bowls of rice.
The rice bowls here are small bowls, and people with big appetites will have to eat several bowls to be full.
By the end, they had eaten more than twenty bowls of rice in total, so Cheng Tao, who was not very hungry, only ate at least one bowl.
After eating so much rice, there will be no food left on the table, and every plate will be eaten cleanly.
Erwa put down the bowl and chopsticks and burped.
The waiter originally saw that there were only two adults in their group, and he was wondering whether he would be unable to eat after ordering so many dishes and so much rice.
When Zhao Qinglan went out to pay the bill and the waiter came in to clean up, she was shocked by how clean the table was.
"This is really delicious."
She couldn't help but spread the word again. The master chef in the kitchen couldn't be more proud.
The fat master put his hands on his hips and began to lecture his apprentices.
"Cooking is a craft, and there is no room for luck. If you do it well, the guests will be satisfied with the meal and will be rewarded. If you don't do it well, nothing will work. Today's incident is an example. The guests can eat all the plates.
Yes, this is the greatest respect for our cook, do you understand?"
The apprentices nodded one after another. As expected, the master was still very good.
After reprimanding his apprentice, the fat master hummed leisurely.
Although Zhao Qinglan and the others were not as full as Erwa, they were all quite full.
Now that she was full, she was too lazy to move. She originally wanted to go shopping, but now she said directly: "How about we go back to the hotel and take a rest before walking around."
Li Huai was noncommittal, and the children had no objection at all.
When they arrived at the hotel, Zhao Qinglan realized that Cheng Tao wanted to stay in Dawa's room and did not want to go home.
"Cheng Tao, aunty doesn't welcome you, but wouldn't it be bad if you stopped staying at home just after you came back?"
"Aunt Zhao, it's okay. My grandparents are easy to talk to. I will call them shortly to tell them that I won't be going home today."
"Okay, remember to say it."
As soon as Zhao Qinglan left, Cheng Tao used the hotel room phone to call home.
Grandpa Cheng and Grandma Cheng were quite surprised when they heard that their grandson was not coming back.
When they learned that their grandson was going to stay in the room of the kid named Cheng Tao and experience some kind of hotel, the old couple couldn't laugh or cry.
They were originally worried that inviting the family to their home for dinner would put pressure on the other party, but now their grandson seems like he has never seen the world and is staying in his hotel room.
They all find it funny just thinking about it.
The old couple didn't know much about this hotel, so they could only ask Cheng Ce, his grandson.
After learning from Cheng Ce the consumption level of this hotel and the basic situation of Zhao Qinglan and his wife, they also had a high opinion of this hotel.
When Secretary Cheng mentioned it to his family, he did not mention the identities of Zhao Qinglan and Li Huai. He only said that they were the parents of the children's friends. They also thought that they were ordinary people.
But now, Grandma Cheng was more enthusiastic about inviting Zhao Qinglan and the others to her home for dinner.
After all, their grandson not only eats and drinks with others, but now also lives with them. They come all the way, so they can't show a little expression?
