Hua Junyao and Geng Mei knocked on the courtyard door, and what came out was an old couple, who simply said a few words of greeting and entered the courtyard. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"This courtyard is a little smaller, but it is better to be well preserved. Geng Mei lowered her voice and said, "The head of this family is an old couple, and their son works in the south, so they want to sell the yard and live with their son, and the price is a bit high, asking for 10,000 yuan." ”

Hua Junyao looked at the courtyard pattern quietly. This courtyard covers an area of about 300 square meters, the standard two-entry courtyard, a total of six rooms before and after, the architectural style of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China is still intact, but the furniture is new, it doesn't look very matched, it seems that you want to live in, you have to change the furniture.

As soon as Hua Junyao said that the price was too high, and before she said the price in her heart, the couple was not happy.

So Geng Mei pulled Hua Junyao and left, and the jeep pulled them directly to Houhai, which is very close to the Forbidden City, where there are large courtyards.

This future is a protected area, a prime location, every inch of land, from the heart, Hua Jun Yaojue as long as the price is right, he will buy it.

And here are all the kind of big courtyard houses, the location of the house is also good, located on the shore of the beautiful Houhai Lake.

The owner of the house was persecuted, and later the house became the office of the neighborhood committee, and after rehabilitation, the house was returned to the owner. The children are all in the United States, and after the policy was relaxed, they went to their children. When people are old, they want to enjoy the joy of family and leave the sad place, who knows when this policy will change again.

This is a three-entry courtyard official residence, which is quite well preserved, and I can't tell that this was once the office of the neighborhood committee. There is also a well and a small garden outside, but the heating equipment is an old-fashioned chimney tin stove, and the heating or underfloor heating has to be reinstalled. However, the weather is going to be hot, and there is no need to keep warm at the moment.

The overall layout of the house inside is still good, even better than the one I just saw. The whole set of furniture inside, the preservation is quite complete, the carvings on it have been artificially smoothed, but the wood is very valuable, there are huanghuali, red sandalwood, are precious wood.

I didn't throw it away because the neighborhood committee also needed office equipment, but it was just ruined, which is a pity.

The furniture is also left to her, and she can move in with her bag.

Hua Junyao was very satisfied, and bargained with the landlord for the last 18,000 yuan.

She was pleasantly surprised.

I paid a deposit of 1,000 yuan, and then initialed an agreement, it was getting late, and I made an appointment to transfer the next day before leaving.

Hua Junyao stayed at Li Gensheng's house for one night, and this night, she slept honestly.

The next day, I completed the transfer procedures, and moved in with my bag, although it was clearly for protection, but the taste of being watched was not pleasant.

Or is your home comfortable?

The driver carried the 'firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar' to the kitchen one by one, and the entire kerosene stove could be fired at any time.

"Go, everything is done. I'll take you to Lao Mo to open foreign meat. Geng Mei smiled and said, "After eating, let's go to the overseas Chinese store to buy something." ”

Lao Moxi's restaurant, the full name is Moscow Restaurant, and later the old capitalists called it Shun and became Lao Mo, which sounds kind. Lao Mo was built with the aid of the northern neighbors in 54, and at the beginning they invited all the master chefs of the northern neighbors, the tableware and utensils were all silver, and the dishes were all Russian court dishes.

However, in 71, when the two countries became hostile, all the foreign chefs were withdrawn, and after that, there was no need for tickets to eat, because there were few customers at that time, no more than 100 people a day.

Lao Mo's meal expenses at that time were four or five yuan per capita, and the monthly salary of skilled workers with slightly better treatment at this time was only thirty or forty yuan. The people who come here to eat are all upper-class people with backgrounds, returned overseas Chinese, and people from the big courtyard.

The "1954" on the door of the restaurant reminds guests that it has been around for more than 20 years.

Hua Junyao and the two of them arrived at Lao Mo at eleven o'clock, and Geng Mei thoughtfully found a slightly remote location in the hall.

From here you can see the whole of the hall, and they don't dazzle. When I got here, I left everything to Aunt Geng. She summoned the waiter and ordered the signature dish directly.

Soon, the red and white flower cloth table was filled with five or six plates of Lao Mo's specialties, such as canned stewed beef, creamy grilled fish, creamy mushroom soup, creamy roasted mix, and honey-made foie gras.

Hua Junyao picked up the knife and fork, and Geng Mei lowered her voice to explain, "These are all silver, and Lao Mo's silver knives and forks and other tableware are gradually taken away by the guests, and the loss is serious." Lao Mo now puts away the few silver tableware that has been left, and replaces all of them with ordinary tableware, and the silverware is only taken out and used when receiving VIPs. ”

"See how I use it?" Geng Mei patiently taught her, "Actually, I don't like to use knives and forks, so it's better to use our chopsticks." But it's better to learn from the locals. ”

Hua Junyao nodded, except for the 'clumsy' when she first started cutting, it was really difficult for her, and she quickly got started, and her movements were as elegant as flowing water, and she couldn't tell that she was a 'beginner' at all. ’

To be honest, Hua Junyao had no interest in the Slavic food in front of her, her eyes occasionally skimming over the tall glass revolving door, occasionally glancing at the lavish hall. With a seven-meter-high roof, a large ornate gilded chandelier, four large bronze pillars standing in the center like the backbone bones, and a waiter in a black "bragi" dress and a small pure white apron standing at the table, which is covered with a light yellow tablecloth, tall glasses, and a dark red square napkin. The whole restaurant is not only gorgeous and luxurious, but also simple and solemn.

"It's good to be young, you can learn everything fast. Geng Mei looked at her and smiled slightly, "To be honest, when it comes to food, these dishes are really incomparable to us, I really don't know why they are so popular." Glancing at the already filled hall.

There were so many customers, the tables in the restaurant were full, and the people waiting outside were picking up numbers as if they were rushing to buy them, and this situation may continue for a long time.

There are only a few restaurants that serve Western food, except for Lao Mo, the Xinqiao Hotel, the Jingcheng Hotel, and the Peace Hotel.

Hua Junyao smiled and did not comment, where there is a market, there is a sale!

After eating, Geng Mei took her to the overseas Chinese store to make a big purchase.

The old man gave a stack of overseas Chinese remittance vouchers, which amounted to 3,000 yuan. Overseas Chinese remittance coupons can go to overseas Chinese stores to buy things, many in-demand commodities can only be bought with overseas Chinese remittance coupons, and only overseas Chinese stores have them, and you can't go to overseas Chinese stores without overseas Chinese remittance cards, and with overseas Chinese remittance coupons, you can buy rice, flour, grain, oil, meat, eggs, etc., and you can also buy a lot of industrial products.

Hua Junyao took a closer look at the overseas Chinese remittance stamps in front of her, and found that there were many types of overseas Chinese remittance coupons, including grain stamps, cloth stamps, rice stamps, meat stamps, oil stamps, sugar stamps and various industrial product stamps, etc., which were slightly different from the commonly used coupons.

One thing in common is that it expires. (To be continued.) )
