Day 7 continue
Dinner that night was at Qin Chao Wa Guan, a Qin dynasty themed restaurant near my cousin Bo's home. Bo and his wife and daughter live in the west side of the city, in a gated community of high-rise apartment buildings. They bought their 4-bedroom/2-bathroom apartment 3-4 years ago. It looks really nice and modern, with all new matching furniture through out. It cost 3,000 RMB/sq m (~$35/sq ft) back then, the total space is ~150 sq m (1615 sq ft), so that was ~500,000 RMB ($62,500). They spent another 200,000 RMB ($25,000) on upgrades and interior decorating. Now the place is worth 1.8 millions RMB ($243,000+). I heard story like that over and over in China. Real estate price has skyrocket-ed in recent years. For ordinary people, the housing price is so out of reach now, it is on par with the U.S. market in some cities.

There were 11 people total at the dinner. We ordered 1 soup (missing here), 6 cold dishes, and 14 hot dishes. Yes, there were way too many dishes. But guess how much all these cost? Answer is at the end.
Cold dishes:
1. Shredded tofu noodle.
2. Shredded jellyfish.
3. Fern root noodle.
4. Nanjing salted duck.
5. Duck wings.
6. Pig ear.
Hot dishes:
7. Wa Wa Cai, some kind of baby bok choy.
8. Chicken joints.
9. Stir fry river shrimp.
10. Pig intestine.
11. Mystery dish. I can't remember what this was anymore. :)
12. Steam assorted eggs.
13. Golden needle mushroom.
14. Goose intestine.
15. Ginkgo seed.
16. Bamboo lamb.
17. Bull frog.
18. Eggplant.
19. Fish bubble.
20. Some kind of bun and mixed vegetable. The bun was hollow at the bottom, so you could put the vegetable there, and eat the bun with the vegetable together.

Answer: Dinner cost 845 RMB ($115).
