While Liu Baiyu was chatting with his boss, these comrades ate happily. Some people simply soaked the rice in the soup and chewed it slowly to taste the taste.

The so-called "pickled and fresh" is one of the special dishes in Jiangnan that Shanghai people often eat. It is Subang cuisine, a representative signature among Hangzhou cuisine.

The nightclub of this dish has a salty and fresh flavor, the soup is white and the meat is crispy and fat, the bamboo shoots are fragrant, crispy and tender, and the umami flavor is strong. The main ingredients are the soup cooked with spring bamboo shoots and fresh and salty pork belly slices. "Pigment" means salt; "Fresh" means fresh; "Du" means stewing on low heat.

Liu Baiyu also felt that the fat-headed and big-eared boss and the boss lady were much more honest than their grandson. It was not used (composite condiments) to deceive people, but used the original soup. Of course, Liu Baiyu forgot one thing that this era of compound condiments is a high-end product that only big capitalists can enjoy, and this small restaurant is obviously not affordable!

Liu Baiyu took a sip, and the spoon took a handful of steaming soup pot and tasted it: "...This fish is pretty good..."

Just as Liu Baiyu was having a good meal, a group of company employees wearing gray uniforms suddenly rushed in from the hotel, as well as two porters with bulging muscles and dark complexion.

They walked into the restaurant very familiarly. They each found their usual tables, and without looking at the menu, they shouted loudly to the boss's wife to serve the food. It was obvious that they were all old customers.

Liu Baiyu looked quietly. Unexpectedly, the company employees ordered three dishes, one soup or four dishes, one soup on almost every table. Although it was not a big fish or meat, there was also a little meat such as eggs or shredded meat in the dishes.

Even the two porters who were obviously purely manual laborers, in addition to two bowls of high white rice, also ordered a large bowl of pickled tofu soup and a salted fish. Then each person divided half a fish, and chewed it with delicious taste.

Later generations of regional differences between Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou and the general regions were always criticized, but according to conscience, after the founding of New China, the regional differences had been greatly narrowed.

In fact, judging from the average living standards of China in this era, the lives of Shanghai citizens are already very high, even comparable to those of second-rate countries in Europe at that time.

Even the poorest physical laborers at that time could generally afford steamed buns, noodles and white rice as long as they had a job, as well as vegetables, pickles, tofu and fermented bean curd.

——At the same time, in the rural areas of the North China Plain, even the so-called middle-aged farmers who have land also use sweet potato porridge mixed with elm leaves to satisfy their hunger. From time to time, they can eat a few meals of white flour and are considered rich farmers. If they can use white flour as a staple food all year round, it is simply a luxury life for the landlords. Ordinary landlords often eat rice and white flour, which is called a spoiler.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable that the Chinese in the Republic of China yearned for the flower world of Shanghai so much. Considering that Shanghai was still under the crazy speculation of speculators, prices soared, all this was obviously even more rare.

However, while continuing to go shopping after lunch, Liu Baiyu realized that his take-for-nothing was slapped in the face again. It turned out that in Shanghai, the fresh food in the vegetable market was relatively cheap, while those "high-end Western foods" that were placed in regular stores and needed to be processed in finely, were extremely expensive. Liu Baiyu saw with his own eyes in a candy store that a small box of things that looked like a fake that was severely cracked down by the state. The very rough and rustic Suzhou candy was sold to a large ocean, which was 1,500 yuan.

As for those more exquisite so-called Western candies, the price is even more staggeringly expensive... In short, the price of a small piece of chocolate is enough to buy a bowl of braised pork in a small restaurant like Shuanghesheng! Also, remind everyone that based on Liu Baiyu's English level, six spelling errors were found in more than a dozen words of so-called Western candies - so, this so-called Western candies are actually counterfeit goods similar to the current Kangshuai Fu instant noodles - of course, it is not impossible to say that it is a high imitation.

So, when he came out of the candy store, Liu Baiyu secretly decided in his heart that when he went beyond the material store in 2008, it would be right to open a candy store with some high-quality Dove chocolate. Anyway, there are so many rich people in Shanghai that the big capitalists of this era don’t care about this little money as gifts for their daughters. It will definitely make their little loli happy... Well, maybe give some big white rabbit milk candy to the middle class to differentiate their products?

Back at No. 173, Shaanxi North Road, Liu Baiyu bowed deeply to several comrades, and shocked the comrades who regarded Liu Baiyu as their idol...

"Chairman Li Desheng once said that when you get to the bottom, you should be a student first and then a gentleman! Don't point fingers casually! Although I didn't point fingers, I don't agree with everyone's pricing in my heart. Fortunately, I still remember what Chairman Li Desheng said - practice is the only criterion for testing the truth. After a field investigation, it turned out that it was me who was wrong. Everyone's labor results were very great, and it was amazing!"

A silence followed by a burst of thunderous applause:

"Comrade Liu Baiyu, your contribution is even greater!"

"We just did what we should do!"

These comrades are from the heart. In fact, it is normal for Communists to reflect on themselves in this era, but intellectuals - have you heard the literati of the Republic of China reflect on themselves deeply? Anyway, I have never heard of them...

Although Liu Baiyu is essentially a modern loser, based on the various theories he has come up with, it is unquestionable to say that he is a big intellectual, and the Taishan Beidou in the academic world is unquestionable...

Mr. Chen Gang was also very moved and shook hands with Liu Baiyu warmly:

"Chairman Li Desheng told me that you are a young man with rare character. I still have a little doubt. Now I believe it - it is rare for young people to actively admit their mistakes if they have the ability. The Chairman said he would use you very much, and it is absolutely right!"

Liu Baiyu didn't understand the implicit meaning of President Chen Gang:

"You are too rewarded by Mr. Chen. Criticism and self-criticism are one of the important requirements of our party. I just implemented this standard!"

"However, I hope everyone will continue to be a realistic style. I will give me some of these things - not limited to quantity, but I have to eat them. I have to write opinions and market analysis for each portion. This is a political task - let's start!"

Liu Baiyu pointed to a few big iron boxes. After rushing forward, the comrades opened it, took a breath of air conditioning, and they all were stunned-

Inside are Wangzai small steamed buns, Wangwang snow cakes, Dove chocolates, Shanghaojia potato chips, cookies and other snacks from modern times!

"This, the leader, eating and drinking is also a political task?" the girl in glasses asked hesitantly.
