The five yuan was really well spent. Hong Yanwu and "Tang Xin'er" didn't whisper a few words before the waiter at the door informed them that they could go in to dine.
So in the eyes of many enthusiastic young people and ignorant teenagers who were either sneaking, shy, or pretending to be dignified, "Tang Xin'er" accompanied Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan into the brass door.
But when the rose-like silhouette disappeared, it seemed to have taken away all the fragrance. Immediately there were several uncontrollable, listless, and reluctant laments coming from outside the door.
When Hong Yanwu heard this, he couldn't help laughing and winked at "Tang Xin'er" several times. That meant you were really charming.
"Tang Xin'er" rolled her eyes at him with a hint of resentment, but said nothing.
As for Chen Liquan, he couldn't care less about the flirting between the two of them. He was completely attracted by the splendid decoration in the foyer.
When he was in Bincheng, he was very familiar with Russian-style small foreign-style houses, but after all, they were just foreign-style houses in the concession and could not compare with this kind of national palace-level building.
There are no seven-meter-high marble pillars, no luxurious gold-plated chandeliers, and no such magnificent and meticulous sculptures and decorations.
A commoner child like him living in a small bungalow has unprecedented access to the feelings of aristocrats, and the visual impact is certainly extraordinary.
But what I didn't expect was that once you walk through the foyer, turn left, and go up the stairs, you will truly enter a palace-like world.
As soon as you open the door, you can see four large bronze pillars standing in the center like the backbone under the carved backlit ceiling.
There is also a rockery stone pool directly in front of the hall, which spurts out fine water droplets from time to time.
Drink! Not to mention that Chen Liquan was shocked and dumbfounded, "Tang Xin'er" was also staring at it, and even the well-informed Hong Yanwu was a little surprised.
In fact, he was not looking for this level of decoration. The key was that the dining scene was grand! It was lively!
In the nearly 1,000-square-meter lobby illuminated by lights, hundreds of square tables and long tables were full of people. Except for a small number of people who looked like intellectuals, national defense green, tussah silk military uniforms, and sea soul shirts could be seen almost everywhere.
.
Amidst the bustle of people, changing cups and cups, the waiters continuously push carts to deliver meals, with an attitude that is gentle and polite that is most lacking in this era.
The various types of tableware are also quite exquisite. The cans of stuffed beef and cans of stuffed chicken are globe-like utensils, and even a few slices of bread are served on very formal plates.
The knives, forks and tea cup holders are all made of silver-plated goods, giving off a soft glow under the light...
All of this is in sharp contrast to all the "local" restaurants in the capital at that time. Moreover, this unique atmosphere of the times will never be completely restored in future film and television dramas.
It's really much more vivid than the scene in the movie "It's Sunny". This is a completely real-time presentation!
At this glance, Hong Yanwu, Chen Liquan and "Tang Xin'er" all felt that their trip was worthwhile. The three of them were all excited and couldn't wait to take a few steps to follow the waiter and take a seat early.
It's just that life is like this. There is a good side and a bad side. Good things and bad things are all mixed together. It cannot always be good or bad.
Although the dining environment of "Lao Mo'er" is so "high-end", the customer quality problem mentioned before also exists objectively, and it is highlighted at this time.
The waiter led Hong Yanwu and others to a small side table in a corner. Unfortunately, there was a large makeshift table next to it, and there were about 20 young men and women sitting around it, all of them were either wearing military shirts or
Wearing military trousers, he looks like he belongs to the military compound.
Moreover, they had probably been drinking for a while, and their behavior was quite eye-catching.
Some of them spoke louder than others, and some of them had red faces. All the men were either holding a cigarette in their hands or holding a cigarette in their mouths. They were sullen and looked like they had been drunk for three rounds.
Drunk state.
Hong Yanwu glanced over and knew that these people didn't have many "fuel-efficient lights" and were in the most trouble-making state. He was disgusted and a little worried.
Sure enough, just as he imagined, all the men in the group, when they saw "Tang Xin'er", were puffing away and chatting happily while clinking glasses, suddenly they fell silent one by one and began to wink.
Then, just as "Tangxiner" passed by, several boys suddenly whistled at the same time.
Needless to say, the teasing meaning is too obvious. I just hope that "Tang Xin'er" can look at them angrily. Just look at them and they can start a conversation. It's just a matter of sex, "Pai Po Po"
The old routine of "zi".
However, "Tang Xin'er" may be smart or experienced. She behaved extremely wisely. She didn't react at all, as if she didn't hear anything. She walked to her table and sat down with her back to them. She didn't give any advice at all.
They have little chance.
On the contrary, Chen Liquan couldn't stand it and couldn't help but glance back at them when he sat down.
But just at this glance, there was a follow-up.
One kid blurted out, "What are you looking at? Where is the 'criminal photo'? Which one are you from?"
Hong Yanwu knew in his heart that this was the rhythm of looking for trouble!
If he wanted to have a "Jianghu cut", I'm afraid he would have to go out and play with the roots of his arms. Even if he gets angry by beating these guys, the meal will be disturbed. Only do it if you are sick.
So I followed what I had already thought about, not to be angry, but to be reasonable.
"Everyone, excuse me. We are not from any movie, we are just here to eat. There is really no room, can we sit here? It shouldn't be in your eyes, right?"
This was said so politely that even the waiter couldn't stand it. She said to the group of people unceremoniously, asking them to be united and not to cause trouble.
The waiters here are not afraid of the "academic faction". Since the "movement", this place has become a hard-hit area for public security. Later, in order to maintain order, in addition to regular security, police officers were also stationed here.
Anyone who drinks and makes trouble will be sent to the "bureau" directly. Under strict control, the trend of picking fights and fights will soon be stopped.
Although these young men all have such connections behind them, and they will be released within a few days after being captured, they will inevitably suffer punishment inside, and they will also be beaten by their own father outside, which still has a great deterrent effect.
So in this way, the opponent Li Quciqian, who also knew how powerful he was, was silent, and a wave of small conflicts and crises were successfully resolved.
After all three of them were seated, the first thing they did was, of course, look at the menu on the table.
The rules here are actually closer to those of some modern chain fast food restaurants. The waiters can order for you, but you still have to pay first.
Hong Yanwu knew that Chen Liquan and "Tang Xin'er" were both curious and would have to watch for a while, so he politely told the waiter waiting aside to go ahead and call her after a while.
And when the waiter left happily, he picked up a menu himself. He read it carefully with the eyes of reading historical documents with great interest.

It should be said that the Western food menu in front of me is quite simple. It is a fold-out page with no English, no pictures or any text introduction, and it is very local.
Just from the names of the dishes, it can be seen that the localization has been very serious, and there is no possibility of producing authentic Russian dishes.
Relatively speaking, the "Lao Mo" that Hong Yanwu patronized after he became successful in his previous life seems to be closer to pure Western food.
At least, when he went to "Old Mo'er", some of the current dishes had mutated into names such as "Mimosa Salad", "Russian Cold Sour Fish", and "Kiev-Style Butter Chicken Wraps", which made them appear more exotic. Moreover,
There are also well-known Russian specialties such as vodka and caviar available for consumption.
At the same time, for some unknown reason, he also discovered something special.
The most sentimental signature dish - "Stewed Beef in Pots" cannot be found on this menu. The only similar ones are "Braised Lamb" and "Braised Chicken".
From this point of view, I am afraid that those who swear to brag about how they were at "Lao Mo'er" have a lot of water in their words.
Either I don't visit often, or I come here later. Otherwise, I wouldn't get the name of such an important dish wrong.
From this point of view, the truth that has been covered up in history is really countless.
