The last condition offered by "Tang Xin'er" was actually very simple, that is, let Hong Yanwu teach her how to cheat on mahjong tiles.
Her intention is also very clear, that is, it is better to fish for others than to fish for them! She wants to get the biggest benefit!
This is actually a bit like "attacking the son's shield with the spear of the son". Since Hong Yanwu is unwilling to be her partner and keeps claiming that he does not gamble, he can naturally teach her the skills, otherwise he is a hypocrite who is duplicitous and hypocritical.
people.
This shows how shrewdly she thinks!
It's just interesting to talk about it. The relationship between the two parties in a transaction is sometimes like a husband and wife doing housework.
Although the final result is that the negotiation between the two parties is to complete the transaction. The husband and wife argue also to live a better life. But who takes the initiative feels like a different world. The submissive party will always feel that
Awkward, so unnatural.
This is how Hong Yanwu felt.
Although he clearly knew this condition and would not cause any trouble for himself, he was quite happy to get the "Drunken Concubine", and even looked forward to the future contact with "Sugar Heart". But after all, this was a person who was being treated
The feeling of humiliation is also particularly strong when others lead you by the nose.
In fact, it’s no wonder that after meeting twice and being “taken” by someone twice, he was still just a girl. Which man can be so calm? What’s more, he is a man with decades more experience and knowledge than his peers.
Woolen cloth!
Therefore, it is inevitable that you will consciously think of something, such as "a dog lives a long life", or "a goose pecks its eyes when hunting geese all the year round".
Frankly speaking, he accepted it with a gnashing of teeth and a frown. It looked like he had signed some kind of treaty that "lost his rights and humiliated his country."
As for "Tang Xin'er", he is also a good person. When he saw Hong Yanwu's face, he knew that he was not happy. After being slapped, he immediately gave him a sweet date to eat.
"Let's go, I'll invite you to a restaurant. Let's consider it a thank-you banquet..."
But how could Hong Yanwu be so easy to fool? Of course, he was a little afraid of long nights and many dreams, but he had no such interest.
"Forget it, just give me the ticket and stop eating. Anyway, I won't change my promise."
But I didn't expect that "Tang Xin'er" had a very good reason to treat him. She said she was going to eat and take him to see places. Mahjong is not something that can be played openly. You have to make an appointment at the time and place to meet.
Just fine.
In this case, it’s not enough if I don’t go...
At almost noon, "Tangxin'er" led Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to "Old Zhengxing" at the front door.
This old Shanghai store was moved to Beijing under the instructions of the Prime Minister in 1958. Because it is located in the most prosperous business district in Beijing, it has already been packed with people. There are several customers standing on stools behind almost every table waiting to be seated.
.
This was also a scene of eating in a restaurant back in the day. Since the restaurant had too few resources, customers who wanted to eat as soon as possible had to wait for a table in this way. Once the diners were gone, the waiting people would
Just sit on it and you're done. Otherwise, you'll just have to watch.
Naturally, like this, the dining environment cannot be chosen. Most of the bones and vegetable scraps can be spat out on the table and on the floor, and strangers will look on when anyone eats.
It is not uncommon for waiting customers to get impatient and deliberately swing under the stools to rush people out, or for customers to quarrel over stools and seats. These are common situations.
I'm afraid only people like Hong Yanwu and others can tell that the table is occupied by gangsters when eating and drinking, so no one dares to harass them. From a certain point of view, this may be regarded as a kind of exclusive for "special groups"
"Welfare".
When Hong Yanwu saw this situation, he felt that it was not possible to find a seat, and was about to suggest changing places. When he saw the waiter passing by taking the initiative to say hello to "Tang Xin'er", he understood. He thought "Tang Xin'er"
You must be a regular customer who is used to coming here, and you can probably solve the seating problem through acquaintances.
But in fact, there was still a discrepancy between what he thought and the reality. Because "Tang Xin'er" neither asked anyone to help find a seat nor asked for a ticket, but actually took them straight to the back of the restaurant. Then she was familiar with the journey.
We walked all the way to the exclusive kitchen of "Bai An" and found a woman about fifty years old and called her "Yi Niang".
The woman was quite handsome, wearing a white coat, and was kneading dough. She looked like the master of "Bai An" here. When she saw "Tang Xin'er", she smiled brightly, and she was very affectionate.
What was even more surprising was that the two of them got together and actually talked about Wu Nong's soft language that was difficult for people in the capital to understand. Then the woman dropped what she was doing and took them to the second floor.
There were three private rooms specially prepared for leaders to dine. The woman took the decision and asked someone to open one with the window facing the street, where the sun was the warmest, and arranged for them to go in.
At this time, "Tang Xin'er" officially introduced the woman to Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan. "Father" is the name in Shanghai, which actually means "godmother". She is the goddaughter of this woman.
"Tang Xin'er" also introduced that her "host mother" was one of the first elders of "Old Zheng Xing" to move to Beijing. She is also the best pastry chef here. She casually mentioned "Aunt Bao" to anyone in the hotel.
, no one knows about it.
And her real intention is that Hong Yanwu will come here to meet her every Tuesday and Thursday at noon from now on. After they have dinner, they can teach and learn skills in the private room on the second floor. No one will disturb them.
.
Hong Yanwu had no choice but to nod in agreement. Not only could he find no fault with the arrangement of "Tang Xin'er", it could even be said that he admired it very much.
Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that this place has many benefits without having to think too hard.
First of all, the hotel is a public place, so it is not easy for others to become suspicious if they meet here. Secondly, in addition to eating and drinking here, it is also quiet and quite private. More importantly, "Tang Xin'er" chose this place, she
She doesn't have to reveal her whereabouts, and she also has the "home field" advantage. In every aspect, she can ensure her own safety to the greatest extent.
It can be said that it is comprehensive and nothing is left out!
Now that the business is settled, it’s time to eat.
"Tang Xin'er" really invited Hong Yanwu. In order to avoid Hong Yanwu, Chen Liquan argued with her. He didn't even order the food, but took out five "Great Unity" cards and gave them to "Aunt Bao", asking her to help buy the banquet.
.
This is not a small number! Don't forget, these days, a whole meal of "mutton shabu-shabu" for ten people only cost fifteen yuan. The last time Hong Yanwu and the others came back from Xiangshan, a roast duck meal for eight people only cost more than forty yuan.
I have to say that "Tang Xin'er" is really decent in handling things, which shows his sincerity.
As for the authentic signature dishes of "Lao Zhengxing", it is famous all over the world for its herring cuisine. "Paddle in the water", "Jianzhai", "chin", "belly crotch", and "bald lung" all refer to the different types of herring.
parts.
Among them, "bald lung" is the most precious, because it refers to the liver of herring, and six herrings need to be killed alive to make one dish. This method was also pioneered by "Lao Zhengxing".
It's a pity that black carp is a southern fish species and is rare to see in Beijing. In the past, Hong Yanwu and Gao Ming often went to the "Old Zhengxing" branch on Baiguang Road, and they were only lucky enough to eat "Shao Hua Shui" once.
On weekdays, these signature dishes are often only mentioned on the menu, but they are not available when you want to order them.
But this time it was different. Under the care of "Auntie Bao", not only was the famous dish of "herring chin dumplings" put on their table, but also "fried shrimp kidneys" that others couldn't order.
"Babao Chili Sauce", "Yellow Croaker", and the priceless "Stir-fried Eel Paste", "Braised River Eel", and "Crab Meal Tofu".
All these are the craftsmanship of the "Touzao" chef, and they are the most typical "local cuisine" dishes.
The staple food was not rice. "Tang Xin'er" preferred her "mother's" craftsmanship the most and ordered a bowl of "Yangchun Noodles" for herself. In addition, she also ordered "tiaotou cake" and "rice rice balls" for Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan.
These are also unique Shanghai dim sum, and they are specially made by "Aunt Bao" for them. Apart from them, other diners do not have this taste.
Needless to say, this table has a dazzling array of dishes and the taste is absolutely authentic!
When Hong Yanwu tasted it, he found it tasted better than the "Shanghai Old Restaurant" he had eaten at. It can be seen that these days, whether there is a relationship or not, the treatment received is completely different.
Although Chen Liquan is not very good at tasting, he still eats deliciously. He likes the taste of "Babao Chili Sauce" the most and feels that this assorted dish, which was transformed from "Kung Pao Chicken" by people in Shanghai, is more delicious than the original prototype.
Fits his tongue.
This is enough to prove the history of food. People in Beijing these days are not very good at eating spicy food.
The only thing that didn't go well with the dishes was the wine. Hong Yanwu originally wanted to drink some "rice wine", but unexpectedly "Tang Xin'er" took the initiative to ask for two bottles of "Fen wine".
At this time, Hong Yanwu firstly did not want women to look down on him, and secondly, he remembered that Chen Liquan only loved liquor, so that was it.
What is surprising is the way "Tang Xin'er" drinks. Even though she is very particular about her posture, she holds the wine glass with her hand and then just sips it with her mouth. If you don't pay attention, you can't see her drinking movements.
But she didn't drink slowly. She first toasted three glasses to Hong Yanwu, then three glasses to Chen Liquan, and then drank one glass at a time. After a while, the bottle of white wine drained a lot, and Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan both drank.
It can be seen that her drinking capacity must be quite high.
While the two of them were secretly amazed, Hong Yanwu lost his mind and knocked off his chopsticks.
And just when he reacted and lowered his head to pick it up, "Tang Xin'er" didn't even look at it. He actually stretched out his hand from the side and caught the chopsticks that were about to fall to the ground with a dexterity that was so dexterous.
You think she's doing acrobatics.
Not only Hong Yanwu, but also Chen Liquan was stunned at this time. They could see that her actions were completely subconscious, and it was not Kung Fu. She was in another category, and her level was far higher than any "Buddha" they had ever seen.
Hong Yanwu couldn't help but blurt out, "Sisters, are you a 'catcher'?"
"Tang Xin'er" looked at his astonished face and smiled again. But his answer was even more astonishing.
"You don't know yet? Hey, isn't this normal? Before everyone stops playing mahjong, I have to eat. By the way, do you know 'Ciermei' from Nancheng? Those two hands of hers,
I taught you..."
"Crimson Plum"?
That's right! There really is another explanation for that bitch's nickname, which is also called "It's gone if you rub it"...
