LONG LIN LU DI YI GU NIU ROU SHANG

The most satisfying meal in Luoyang, the first time I ate what Wu Lala recommended and it was not bad. The beef soup was super delicious. It was just served without salt, you can add it as needed. The price was different, 15 yuan a bowl, and it felt like the meat was not much. But it was very fragrant, and you could have unlimited refills after drinking it. Many aunties who lived nearby brought their own pots to fill it up. The shredded pancakes were average, but it was not bad to go to the next door to buy a crispy oil twist to go with it. If I didn't have to go back to the hotel to work after eating, I really wanted to sit and slowly refill a few bowls

If you come to Luoyang and don't drink a bowl of beef soup, you will be embarrassed to say that you have been to Luoyang. With the crazy recommendation of my friend, I came to the first beef soup restaurant on Longlin Road. I heard that it is very popular on weekdays. I arrived at 11:30 on Saturday noon, and there were not many people. Environment: I heard that this store has been open for more than 20 years. You know, it is an old store, so the requirements for hygiene and other things are not so high. Beef soup^ I ordered a 20 yuan beef soup. My friend said that his family has 8 yuan, but I didn't see it on the self-service machine. Maybe it was cancelled. It is recommended not to put chili oil. Although the chili oil is not spicy, it covers the taste of the beef soup. It tastes oily. You can put less. It tastes good when soaked in shredded pancakes. The meatballs are 6 for one yuan, and the crunchy teeth are okay. In general, it is okay. It is not so amazing, but it is not a thunder. It is quite anti-hunger. Those who like to drink beef soup can come and try it.

Super pure beef soup, sprinkled with chopped green onions, it is very fragrant and the soup is delicious
