Chapter 8 Delicious and Delicious
Ann phone calls are not a trivial matter after all. Vertices are updated the fastest
In these years, whoever wants to install this thing, others must take a high look, and it is indeed convenient to get home.
So when the phone was secured, although Hong Yanzheng complained, he still solemnly pasted a piece of paper on the wall above the phone at home.
He told his parents that the contact numbers of the Hong family brothers and sisters were all on this piece of paper, as well as Shou Jingfang's.
He also said that the numbers copied with a red pen were 112 for the barrier desk, 113 for long-distance telephone registration, 114 for the number search desk, 115 for the service desk, 116 for the long-distance inquiry desk, 117 for the time reporting desk, 119 for the fire alarm, 110 for the theft police, neighborhood committees, police stations, and so on......
Then he began to use the phone again, telling his relatives and friends at home the phone numbers at home one by one.
In this process, he not only felt quite honored, enjoyed as much as a factory director, and even developed a game mentality towards the phone at home like a child.
Because this is completely different from the unit phone, it is all serious.
It's not the same as a pay phone, and you have to pay for it.
Now, it's play, it's pure play. And it doesn't cost him money at all, it's Hong Yanwu's bastard kid's money!
No, think about the hateful deeds of the "old thief", think about the lack of morality of those golden urns, who are you playing if you don't play this kid's phone?
That's not enough, how can you just play on the phone?
Thinking of this, Hong Yanzheng, who had an evil fire in his heart, took advantage of the fact that his family was busy with dinner, and hurriedly dialed again.
As the phone rang for a while, the voice of the ball mother in the west courtyard soon came from the phone.
"Where are you, who are you looking for?"
Hong Yanzheng hurriedly lowered his throat and began to pretend to be garlic.
"Frauli No. 2? Hey, I'm the 'Polar Bear' General Affairs Section. Yes, yes, look for Hong Yanwu...... Ah, there's an emergency in the factory, and you ask him to answer the phone......"
Immediately afterwards, I heard the voice of Qiuzi's mother going away from the phone and then calling Hong Yanwu at the door of Chen's house.
After a while, I heard Hong Yanwu's voice running from the house in response.
But when the other side picked up the phone, no matter how Hong Yanwu "hey" the phone, Hong Yanzheng just didn't speak.
This took two minutes, and the opposite side could only hang up.
Then after another two minutes, Hong Yanzheng dialed again.
This time, he learned the tone of the chief of the general affairs section of his unit, and said to Qiuzi's mother in an official tone.
"Ah, that's not like that. I had an urgent matter to deal with just now, and I've been waiting for him. Why is this hanging? Young people are just frizzy and too impatient. Yes, you call him again......"
Then Hong Yanzheng gently put down the phone, lit a cigarette, and listened carefully to the movement on the phone......
Regardless of how the brothers and sons of the Hong family coughed with the phone, let's talk about the third "peanut rice".
On April 28, 1982, the "Jianguo Hotel", a joint venture between the Beijing Branch of China International Travel Service and Hong Kong Huamei Hotel Development Co., Ltd., was opened.
This is the first foreign-related joint venture tourist hotel in Beijing, which adopts the management method of Holiday Inn in the United States.
With a construction area of 10,000 square meters and an investment of up to 20 million US dollars, the construction period took only two years.
Speaking of which, some people may be curious, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with Hong Yanwu?
No, it really matters, and it's more important to Hong Yanwu than the house and the phone.
Don't forget, this kid is different from ordinary people.
For him, the significance of this event is not only that there is a new place and opportunity to flip foreign exchange coupons.
What's more, he also has a place where he can come and go at will, spend with peace of mind, and relax and enjoy.
Isn't it also a pain to have money and nowhere to spend?
In fact, in his previous life, Hong Yanwu also liked the courtyard scenery between the two main buildings of the "Jianguo Hotel".
Because there is a winding stream there, and the stream flows, turns, bounces, and swings, and changes in a myriad of ways.
There is also a bubbling spring in the middle, which can be described as extremely natural and wild.
What's even more fascinating is that some of the rooms are adjacent to the stream, and the side of the building protrudes from the small terraces.
It is entirely conceivable how easy it is for guests to sit on the small terrace, look at the verdant greenery, listen to the murmur of the water, sip on a pot of fragrant tea, or clink glasses to drink.
Needless to say, in the hot summer of this year, Hong Yanwu can also rent a room here as Angelo and enjoy the long-lost beauty and air conditioning.
In fact, you don't have to wait until the summer, a few days later on "May Day".
Hong Yanwu asked this Yanmar boy to come forward and chartered a seat for ten people in the "Jestin Western Restaurant" on the first floor of the "Jianguo Hotel".
He invited the whole family to celebrate the festive season with his cousin Shou Jingfang.
It should be said that the joy of this meal is no less than the meal of mutton shabu that the Hong family just got the repayment from Chase Bank in the United States and ate at the "National Restaurant".
Here, through the glass wall of the façade of the restaurant, you can directly enjoy the beautiful view of the courtyard.
And I have to say that in the next few decades, in the central area of Beijing, I am afraid that only the two foreign-related restaurants "Jianguo Hotel" and "Shangri-La" can get similar enjoyment to the "Flower City" garden restaurant.
However, the "Jianguo Hotel" is completely different from the private garden with the layout of the flower city and the regular private garden, and compared with the royal style of the "Shangri-La".
The combination of scenery and architecture here is ingenious and subtle, you have me, I have you, and the word "Tibet" has been brought to the extreme.
Outside the walls, or even inside the lobby, you will never think of a cave inside.
Then this kind of elegant scenery of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and leisurely seeing Nanshan" must be in line with the aesthetic taste of Hong Lucheng and his wife and Shou Jingfang.
Therefore, when several elders walked into the restaurant, they were all extremely surprised.
Shou Jingfang even claimed that the four words "beautiful and delicious" can be used here, which is quite appropriate.
In addition, don't look at the fact that there are not many people in the restaurant, the chef's skills are also so-so and unsatisfactory according to Hong Yanwu.
But eating Western food is a novel scene that most of the Hong family children have never been exposed to.
Add shiny candlesticks, knives and forks, white tablecloths, fragrant flowers, and comfortable sofa chairs.
Young people also have a sense of excitement here.
When it comes to dining, they are not comfortable with the exotic dishes of creamy mushroom soup, foie gras pie with bread, fruit and vegetable salad, grilled lamb chops with asparagus, and apples with vanilla ice cream.
But the interest in wielding knives and forks was excellent, and the laughter and laughter continued.
In this case, the children of the Hong family also heard the past that was rarely confided in by the previous generation.
First of all, Shou Jingfang told everyone about his and Hong Lucheng's experience of eating "Qishilin" for the first time in Jinmen when they were young.
said that there were snowflakes in winter, and the two brothers made a foreign car and rushed there.
Just because I didn't understand German, I spent six oceans, but I only called six "Germans" with different tastes...... It's ice cream.
Because this thing was put in a butterfly champagne glass, and a small German flag was always planted, so he called it accordingly.
This thing can't be returned.
Well, the two of them could only get two more cups of hot coffee in the end.
It was bitter, sweet, hot, and cold, and I swallowed it completely with my nose pinched......
This old story made everyone laugh even more.
Because no one expected that the embarrassment that their previous generation encountered when they were young would be so cute and interesting.
Then, Hong Lucheng and Wang Yunlin also aroused the interest of the conversation, and they reminisced about the Western food in the old Beijing with Shou Jingfang.
According to what they said in their chat, in the past, the foreign food for foreigners in the capital was not called Western food, but "fancai".
The western restaurant is not called a western restaurant, it is called a fancai restaurant.
What is more interesting is that there was a "Ji Shilin" in the capital that opened in the early 40s, which was opened by the driver of Bao Wenyue, a warlord in the northeast.
In fact, it has nothing to do with "cheeseline", it is purely popular.
However, many people in the capital mistakenly thought it was "Qishilin", and as a result, this fake and shoddy product actually made a lot of money.
They also said that except for the "Western Gentry Association" in Dongjiaomin Lane, the rest of the well-known Western restaurants in the capital are all improved "Chinese Western food".
From the "Rokukoku Hotel" and "Jingcheng Hotel" to the "Chuying" and "Ermiaotang" of the citizen class, this is all the case.
Therefore, the names of the dishes in these restaurants are British, French, Russian, and German, and most of them are unreliable, or even completely apocryphal.
For example, the British are fond of french fries and fried fish, so all fried foods dipped in breadcrumbs are named British.
Germans love to eat small elbows, as long as it is pork knuckle, without exception, all of them are German.
The French like all kinds of sauces, so our people invented a kind of homemade sauce with red and green, sweet and sour taste, with tomato paste, diced carrot, diced mushrooms, peas and raisins as the main ingredients.
As long as the juice is poured on the food, it can be named French.
The only thing that is really not too outrageous is Russian food.
There is an important reason for this, that is, since the beginning of the twenties of the last century, a considerable number of former Tsarist Russian nobles have entered major cities in our country because of national turmoil, which is called "White Russia".
In order to earn a living, they opened Russian restaurants in these cities or worked as chefs in Western-run restaurants, thus introducing authentic Russian cuisine to the country.
Therefore, during the Republic of China, many economically affordable families would make more authentic "borscht", which was the most representative and thrifty Russian cuisine.
For example, the older generation has always believed that the concept of "salad" must have potatoes and mayonnaise, also because of the influence of Russian cuisine.
On the other hand, the salad on the table today is made without potatoes and only with olive oil and apple cider vinegar, which is more in line with the tastes of Western European countries......
In this way, this meal not only allowed the children of the Hong family to increase their knowledge and knowledge, but also became a happy time that will always be retained in their memories.
Even Hong Yanzheng didn't get angry or spoil the scenery, anyway, he had already reported the assets of the third child to his parents, and there is a good saying, if you don't eat for nothing, you won't eat for nothing!
He knew very well in his heart that even if he didn't eat, the money of the "old thief" would not be saved.
It's better to simply eat and enjoy it, so as not to spoil the good things in vain.
If you are angry, you are not afraid, and you will continue to use the phone to play "walking monkey" with that kid in the future, or it will be over.
