Chapter 051: Jin Ding Xuan and Yunding
"Lao Liu! Mr. Zhang invited everyone to go to the high-end restaurant to rub a meal, stop doing it, put away the work under your hands, change clothes and open your eyes to Mr. Zhang. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info by the way, pack up all the tools and put them in the house, you can pay for it yourself, I don't care!" Hong Tao's teeth were about to be crushed, and at the same time, his admiration for his little uncle was also gushing like a river. These night girls are so hard to figure out, you have to be vigilant every minute. Their thinking mode is completely different from ordinary people, and when they get better, they call you daddy, and they turn their faces when they say they turn their faces, and they don't have any jokes. This is that he was cheated by Sun Lili once, and his vigilance was relatively high, so he was not fooled. But if you change to a young man who is not deeply involved in the world, you must not let them play with mental illness.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang...... As soon as the three workers heard that they were going to go to the restaurant, their bodies immediately became much lighter, and they climbed down from the gimbal after dividing five by two, as if they were all masters of light work.
"The more you are so tired that you can't walk, Mr. Zhang is moved, maybe I have to give one of you a good cigarette before leaving. Running Nima so fast, it must be that I don't work hard, if I were Mr. Zhang, don't talk about good cigarettes, I won't be invited to dinner!" "Since the two of them want to play with themselves, then Hong Tao will not be restrained, how to trick people, how to come." When did Zhang Yuanyuan talk about cigarettes, it doesn't matter if you don't say it, I'll make it up for you, anyway, the workers heard it, do you like to give it or not!
“…… Lili, your laundry worker is angry, this is revenge on us! I think one is less, I will give each person two!" Zhang Yuanyuan don't look at it as good as Sun Lili, but she is very clear about being a person, she understands the words of Hong Tao and these people, and she copes with it perfectly.
Jin Ding Xuan Restaurant is located at the northwest corner of the Dongzhimen overpass, which is the east exit of the later Shi Gui Street. However, at this time, there was no concept of Gui Street, and there were not too many restaurants on Dongzhimen Nei Street, and the scale was so large, just a well-known night market. In this era, there are actually not many night markets, in front of the Drum Tower, Xinjiekou, Caishikou and many other major transportation hub streets, there will be small vendors who come out from the evening to set up stalls, specializing in selling some wonton stew, stew, dumplings, noodles and other food, business hours will be late to midnight, which is a background of Kyoto's nightlife just beginning to rise.
I don't know when it began, there were several restaurants on the street in Dongzhimen that were open 24 hours a day, the most famous of which was Xiaolin hot pot, which had small profits but quick turnover, good taste and good business. After that, there were gradually more restaurants on this street, and they were all open 24 hours a day, and Jin Ding Xuan was the highest-grade of these restaurants.
In fact, the most important thing to thank for being able to walk into a nationally renowned food street was not the government, nor the diners who became famous later, but the ladies in Kyoto song halls and nightclubs at that time.
Those who are familiar with Kyoto in the 90s know that the management of the eastern and western urban areas is relatively strict, and there are many old streets and old houses, so there is not much room for development, especially for the new entertainment industry such as nightclubs and song halls, which are not suitable for large-scale operation. But the Chaonayang District bordering Dongcheng District has no concerns in this regard, it developed relatively late, and only really developed after the reform and opening up, and before Dongzhimen went east except for a long-distance bus station and an agricultural exhibition hall, it was farmland and villages.
Until the embassy area settled in this area, there were more big hotels around, such as the Great Wall Hotel, Kunlun Hotel, and later the Liangmahe Hotel, Kempinski Hotel, and Lufthansa Mall also came into being. Then there are clusters of high-end office buildings that have sprung up, and the area has become one of the most concentrated white-collar workers, high-income groups in Kyoto.
The entertainment industry is grasping high consumption, and if you want to take their wages from the pockets of ordinary people, you will have to die of poverty. Therefore, this area has become the place where Kyoto's nightlife really began, and the first batch of karaoke halls were basically Hong Kong and Wanwan people, most of whom rented a place in restaurants and guesthouses, and sold dog meat in the name of hotel facilities. Seeing that the government is not strictly managed, and this thing does make money, it is slowly separated and found a place nearby to make it bigger. At that time, the song halls and nightclubs in this area were very high-end, and they were one by one, and everyone passing by here could be blinded by their neon lights. When night falls, the area becomes a city that never sleeps, and there is a lot of traffic in front of every house.
With industry, there must naturally be employees, and when trading is popular, it is natural to have customer flow. Since this kind of industry came from Hong Kong and Wanwan, the habit naturally followed them, so the people who had been tossing and turning for hours in the night market suddenly found a problem: where to feed the hungry stomach? At that time, there were not many restaurants in Kyoto that could open in the middle of the night, not to mention that there were really none.
If there is demand, there will be a market, and there is not a small restaurant on this street in Dongzhimen, so these people came here, no matter whether it is delicious or not, fill your stomach first. At first, most of the people came to the night club, ladies and taxi drivers who did night work, but as more and more people came, the restaurant owners also found that the original dishes alone could not meet more and more demand, so the decoration should be renovated, the expansion should be expanded, and the good chef should be invited, and the original night market shop soon became a big restaurant, and the business object also changed from local residents to night staff and guests.
By '97, it was one of the most famous restaurants in Kyoto, but it was even more famous at night. During the day, the business on this street is very ordinary, and it is not lively until after dark, especially after midnight, when the night markets everywhere close, it really becomes a city that never sleeps, and the street is full of high-end cars and taxis. The night club staff, the lady and the guest who were originally the waiters all threw away their original identities and sat at the same table pushing cups and changing glasses, eating with sweat and joy.
Hong Tao usually doesn't come here because he doesn't feel like he belongs in this kind of environment, and if he doesn't sleep hungry in the middle of the night, he goes to a street stall to eat. Although it is cold in winter and hot in summer, you have to be bitten by mosquitoes, but you can eat safely and comfortably. However, he sometimes patronizes the Gudelin Restaurant at the west entrance of this street, which is a time-honored restaurant, and it is not clear whether other dishes are well cooked, anyway, only the stewed and roasted dishes sold at night taste good, which is more delicious than the stalls, and the price is not expensive.
However, he is no stranger to Jin Ding Xuan, it is not that he often comes, but there is a game hall called Genting next to Jin Ding Xuan, which has mahjong machines and wins Marlboro cigarettes. Although Hong Tao is not good at playing cards and gambling, he likes to come here to shoot mahjong machines for a few hours when he has nothing to do, and he loses hundreds of ten yuan, in exchange for a few packs of Marlboro, he thinks it is very beautiful. If you want to talk about this person, there is always a time when the brain is short-circuited, but there is a difference between someone who short-circuits often and someone who short-circuits occasionally.
"Hey, Mr. Zhang, why don't you go eat first, I'll go back later, and leave me some vegetable soup." After getting out of the taxi, there was the door of the game hall in front of him, and Hong Tao was a little itchy again. Eating is dispensable for him, he eats every day, it doesn't matter if he has one more meal or one less meal, but he must not pass through the door when he passes by the game hall, and he has to go in and shoot a few dollars. Maybe you can get a cigarette or something with good luck, but it's not a cigarette, it's that energy.
"Wait, I'll go too, you can't shoot this, my sister will take you to play!" Sun Lili seemed to know what Hong Tao was going to do, so she didn't follow Zhang Yuanyuan and them to the restaurant, but trotted a few steps and caught up with Hong Tao.
"You still shoot mahjong machines?" Hong Tao was very unhappy that Sun Lili would play with him, even if she paid for it. Because playing this level by yourself is very smelly, it is considered an ulterior privacy.
"Why can't I shoot a mahjong machine! Your sister and I won a bicycle a few months ago, don't believe me, go ask Sister Zhang." Sun Lili didn't consider Hong Tao's feelings at all, and deliberately took out her proud achievements to show off, saying very loudly, for fear that others would not hear her.
