Let me tell you about a cheap restaurant I often go to
．
It's located next to the training school
where I have been studying English for the last two months. It only takes me five minutes to get
there, so it is very convenient. Inside the restaurant, there are huge mirrors on each wall to make
the place look larger than it really is
．
In fact, it is a tiny restaurant with only four tables inside, but the boss doesn't hesitate to set 2
more tables outside his door, on the sidewalk, whenever there are more customers. When the
weather is good, clients love to eat outside even though it is forbidden and the local police try to
restrict shop owners from encroaching upon the street.
I frequently go to this restaurant with my classmates because the food is very tasty, and the
prices are extremely reasonable. They offer typical Chinese food with a great choice of dishes
：
local specialties such as sweet and sour pork, as well as fish balls served in soup. But you can also
get spicy food, like spicy diced chicken with peanuts, or simple spicy green beans.
A lot of people have lunch there with their colleagues, and I often see people in uniforms such
as salesmen or policemen eating there
．
The sea food is not bad either, especially the fried mackerel
（＝
fish) and the spicy clams. Fuzhou is a coastal city so you can get nice sea food at the local
market every day.
In addition
，
the boss is a friendly old man, and the waitresses remember their customers and
what they like to eat. They often give us a small discount when we ask for the bill: they know how
to retain their clients. Of course the place is not spotless, and the waitresses don't use liquid soap
to clean the tables
．
So you shouldn't put your elbows on the table if you don't want your shirt to
get dirty…But the food is clean, savory and cheap
．
That's what really counts
（＝
matters)
