We ate lunch at a Nong2 Jia1 Le4, which means "have fun in farmers' home". There are no menus in rural Yunnan restaurants. You order in the kitchen by looking at what ingredients they have, and tell them what you want to eat. Since there is no menu, there is no price either. You pay whatever they ask after the meal. For the most part, the bills had been very reasonable. There were a couple of surprises but we paid anyway.
