Chapter 210: Snacks in the Hutong

The residents in the small alley were obviously used to the white smoke. They walked through the white smoke one by one, walked to the snack bar, sat down, and started ordering food.

"Bring me a bowl of noodles."

"I want two plain stuffed buns."

"Bring me a bowl of porridge and fried cabbage."

"Here you go, sir, your steamed buns and your noodles."

There were more people coming and going, and the alley became lively.

Gu Xiaoyou felt like a traveler traveling with a group. He was originally wandering around a high-rise scenic spot, but accidentally broke into the local residents, and the atmosphere of life was everywhere.

The lively scene reminded Gu Xiaoyou of the scene downstairs in the apartment where he lived when he was in school, and his parents took him to the breakfast shop to have breakfast.

"The smell of fireworks is so strong." Gu Xiaoyou said with emotion.

She strolled towards the corner of the alley and randomly found a shop to enter.

As soon as I entered the door, the waiter came to greet me and asked enthusiastically: "How many guests are you?"

"It's just me." Gu Xiaoyou replied.

"Okay, please come in. Can you please sit here?" The waiter arranged Gu Xiaoyou in a seat by the window, where he could see both the layout of the store and the scenery in the alley.

Gu Xiaoyou nodded with satisfaction: "Okay."

The waiter immediately took off the handkerchief from his arm and wiped it on the chair: "Sir, please have a seat."

After Gu Xiaoyou sat down, the waiter brought over the menu from the snack bar: "Sir, please take a look at the menu and see what you want to eat."

Gu Xiaoyou opened the menu and looked at it. They were all homemade side dishes, nothing special.

"Just bring me a bowl of noodles."

"Okay, a bowl of noodles with soybean paste." The waiter announced the name of the dish loudly, and the kitchen began to prepare the food after receiving it.

Gu Xiaoyou looked around curiously. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the counter. There was a bearded man at the counter, looking through the account books. Gu Xiaoyou guessed that this was either the accountant or the shopkeeper.

After making random guesses, I continued to look at other places. All the wine was placed behind the counter. The shop was not big, with seven or eight sets of tables and chairs. There was a small door at the end, which seemed to lead to the kitchen.

Gu Xiaoyou was looking at it when the waiter came back with a bowl of noodles: "Your fried noodles."

"Thank you." Gu Xiaoyou thanked him and looked at the noodle bowl on the table. He saw an unknown brown-red sauce on the beige noodles, and there was a slight amount of noodle soup in the noodle bowl.

"Not even a cucumber shred, bad review." Gu Xiaoyou muttered in a low voice, picked up the chopsticks, mixed the noodles and sauce together, and took the noodles dipped in the sauce into his mouth without any expectation.

After chewing for a few bites, Gu Xiaoyou put down his chopsticks with some disappointment. The noodles were somewhat chewy, but the sauce was too unpleasant, just fried soybean paste.

Even if it is fried with eggs, this sauce will taste better.

Gu Xiaoyou sighed and looked at the menu again. There was really nothing he wanted to eat, so he left a few coins and left the snack shop.

The waiter sent Gu Xiaoyou out enthusiastically: "Come back when you have time."

"Oh." Gu Xiaoyou waved her hand perfunctorily, saying she would never come again.

After trying the craftsmanship of this snack shop, Gu Xiaoyou did not dare to be careless anymore, and carefully selected the shop with the largest number of people and went in.

The waiter was equally enthusiastic and greeted her as soon as she entered the door: "Who are your guests?"

"It's just me." Gu Xiaoyou replied.

"Okay, please come inside. Do you want to sit in the lobby or sit by the window?"

"Let's just go to the lobby." The waiter was quite attentive.

"Okay, please come over here. Is this okay?" The waiter chose a spot in the center and asked.

"Okay." Gu Xiaoyou nodded and sat down on the chair passed by the waiter.

The waiter handed over the menu and said enthusiastically: "What would you like to order, sir?"

The menu at this store is obviously thicker than that at the store just now.

Gu Xiaoyou asked casually while browsing: "Does your store have any special dishes?"

"Yes, the shop's specialties include spicy diced pork, stir-fried chicken breast, vinegared cabbage..." The waiter reported the names of six or seven dishes, and then asked: "What would you like, sir?"

"Just spicy diced pork and a bowl of rice." Gu Xiaoyou flipped through the recipe and replied casually.

She came mainly to study the market, not to fill her stomach.

"Okay, just wait." The waiter responded and went to the kitchen to order the food.

When Gu Xiaoyou was looking through the menu, he suddenly thought that the services of the two waiters were also different. Although the waiter of the first store was enthusiastic, he was not attentive enough. He just completed the waiter's task and that was it.

As for the waiter at this store, he is very attentive and patient, and must be more polite. If she were to choose based on service, she would be more willing to choose this store.

"It seems that a good waiter is also very important." Gu Xiaoyou murmured thoughtfully, keeping in mind the need for a good service attitude.

At this time, the waiter brought a tray over and gently placed it on the table: "Your food is ready."

"Spicy diced pork and a bowl of rice." The waiter put the food on the tray on the table one by one, put away the tray, and thoughtfully added: "If you have other needs, please tell me."

"Okay, thank you." Gu Xiaoyou said with a smile. Sure enough, good service makes you feel different.

The waiters she recruits in the future will need to be trained in this way, she thought as she picked up the bowl.

"The rice is quite fragrant." Gu Xiaoyou took a mouthful of rice and commented.

Then he turned his eyes to the vegetable plate and saw that it was so brightly red that at first glance he couldn't tell which ones were chili peppers and which ones were diced pork.

She picked up the chopsticks and picked around on the plate. She finally picked out a piece of meat and picked it up to take a look.

"It's so small, it's really a diced meat." Gu Xiaoyou said in surprise.

She sighed, put the diced meat on the chopsticks into her mouth, and chewed it all in less than three bites.

"It tastes good, but the cook is too stingy." Gu Xiaoyou complained dissatisfiedly, picking at the plate with disgust, eating a few bites of diced pork, stuffing a few mouthfuls of rice, and then put down his chopsticks.

After all, she doesn't have the habit of eating chili with rice.

"Bill, please."

"Come on." The waiter came over immediately: "It's sixty coins in total."

"Sixty cents, let me count." Normally, she would just throw down all the money and leave, but today's diced meat really offended her, and she didn't want to give any more cents.

But the waiter's service is good.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiaoyou took out another copper plate from his purse, counted it, found out the amount, and put it on the table: "Here is eighty copper coins, and the extra is a tip for you."

"Thank you, sir. Please go slowly."

The waiter happily sent Gu Xiaoyou out of the door.
