Chapter 35: The Legend of Lao Mo
The northern capital, the west of the city.
On the side of the Xizhimen Exhibition Hall, there is a particularly beautiful white building, if there is no five-pointed star on the top of the white pillar rainbow, it will be like the court of Tsarist Russia, it is not a single restaurant for a long time, it is a holy place in the hearts of a generation.
In fact, most people in the real "Lao Mo" period, that is, 4 years ago, the Moscow restaurant was actually called the legendary era of the Beidu Exhibition Hall Restaurant, and they had never been here at all, so it was called a legend.
Lao Mo's business hours are very short, unlike the peace gate Xidan Dongtian that casually tossed, open at noon, and close at nine o'clock in the afternoon and evening, in fact, it is a special fake and serious Russian dining occasion, the outside is a palace-like staircase, and the inside is like an opera house-like inner dome towering, four copper-clad columns, gold-plated crystal chandeliers, snow-white napkins, full of maids dressed as waiters.
There is such a large hall in other Western restaurants and the ceiling of Lao Mo is not as high as Lao Mo, like a cathedral, how many recalcitrant masters outside will squint when they come in, basically the veterans in the courtyard only like to come, and the Great Hall has eaten and is not worried about this, patting the holy land of the mother-in-law and sniffing honey and pulling the share, ordinary people are absolutely stunned when they come in, who dares to fight with this day, all bragging.
In that era, it was still reliable to play in the Xidan Drum Tower, it was really not good for Wangfujing, there were parks and outside the second ring road in the group practice, and then there was a princess grave, running through the east and west long streets, and when you met the hard stubble, you could go to the square to ask for help from the government, and you could go to the Babaoshan cemetery to fight to the death.
Yang Wei was sitting in the small independent hall, and he was alone on a long table in the hall, and he wanted to set up a thank-you banquet, but somehow he remembered Lao Mo.
The first fifteen years of the Moscow restaurant are the honeymoon era, and the next fifteen years are the old Mo era of veterans and stubborn masters, and the last fifteen years have become the nostalgic era.
There are more high-end places than Lao Mo, but perhaps it is precisely because it is not foreign and not earthy, and it is connected to the world, and the traces of the years are so layered on Lao Mo like a cocktail, so that it can be so consistent with the memories of Yang Wei's previous generation.
In his last life, he heard the word Lao Mo for the first time was still very young, but just like the people of Beidu who passed outside the gatehouse all day long would not go to visit the Forbidden City at all, when he really came into Lao Mo, Hong Kong returned, or in the bureau of people, at most there was a sense of nostalgia, more than Lao Mo, but now in the eighties, the feeling is completely different, not to mention the era of the fifties to the seventies to enter with a ticket, don't look at the stubborn owners as if they were their own home, In fact, this is a place where the stubborn will be weak-hearted.
Before the 80s, there were two groups of people in the northern capital, one group was called veterans, and one group was the stubborn master, and later generations combined the two groups of bad boys into one and called the stubborn master, in fact, these two groups of bear children were highly opposed natural enemies, and the rats and snakes were put together, and they could never be unified.
What a veteran is, is a child in the compound.
Veterans either live in the sea, land and air compounds, or confidential, organizational, internal affairs, public security and other ministries and commissions, go out to wear silk military uniforms, tower hats, breeches, school boots, waist bolts brass head old belt, hanging military satchels, and 28 manganese steel manpower pedals.
The parents of the veterans are either busy with work or have been training in the field for a long time, and they have released this scourge without paying attention, and in the years of burning passion, and not going to school much, the veterans are even more happy, and they can't wait for the outbreak of the third world war, so that they can fill it in at any time, fight on the battlefield, shroud in horse leather, and vow to let the red flag be planted all over the world.
Veterans have enthusiasm and leisure, but they have no place to cool down, and they basically burn themselves, hoping to burn themselves to light up the world.
But to the disappointment of the veterans, the world war has not been fought, and they have nothing to do with national affairs, so they slowly feel that they are wasting their time, and they are in a panic, and they begin to go out to the street one by one to relax.
You ask me where I'm going, and I point in the direction of the sea......
After the reform and opening up, they should go to work, they should play something else, and there are very few veterans who become stubborn masters, because after the end of the classical era, they have long been unable to play together, not to mention that even the real stubborn masters are becoming fewer and fewer.
What is the stubborn master, that is, the master who takes play as a serious matter.
Play is a kind of career, do a career to be diligent, conscientious, play fennel beans have to study through the fennel has a few ways to write, I play things you can't play, don't know how to play, can't play, play not as deep as me, this is the greatest happiness.
I want to give you my pursuits, and my freedom, but you always laugh at me and have nothing......
The stubborn master is a modern idle Eight Banners supported by beliefs and theories, not a good thing but a good play, even the principle of playing, the real stubborn master and bastards, hooligans, ruffians are not the same thing, the latter can not be on TV and how to pour cultural relics with people.
It is also after the reform and opening up, the real stubborn masters are more fun, gold and stone antiques, four treasures to play, a field for a seam, what can not be played, who is still stupid to sweep the street, most of the people who are still wandering on the street are not stubborn.
The 80s is the last afterglow of the stubborn master, and after the 90s, it is not for nothing that he is still pedaling a bicycle wrapped in bricks and shaking around, but it is all a small joke, after all, the stubborn master is a symbol of a generation, and it is not so easy to eliminate, I can't have brothers and sisters to have fun, and you don't play when I grow up, that's not good, I also have to play for two years.
In Yang Wei's generation, it is difficult to see the scene of sharp confrontation between veterans and stubborn masters, and they are fighting everywhere, the real veterans and real stubborn masters all exist only in the classical hooligan era, and the era passed and took them away.
Even if the veterans and stubborn masters who came from that era, people are still those people, but they are not veterans and stubborn masters, veterans do not die, stubborn masters live forever, and the people who remain are just more memories of a special era, a kind of legend that has been handed down, just like Lao Mo, only the old Mo in the memory of the veteran and the stubborn master, can fit with that era.
Yang Wei's current Moscow restaurant is just a Western restaurant where many people have special memories, with the passage of time, this memory will become more and more blurred, the square table and stool become a couch, and then remove the couch and become a table and stool again, the golden pillar has also been washed into bronze by the passing time, from the Soviet girl dancing to the dancing Russian woman, and then no one dances, Lao Mo will become more and more ordinary.
didn't catch up with the good era of eating fruit plates and ice cream and counting plates to check out, and before the guests arrived, Yang Wei sat alone on a chair and took a glass of kvass with a glass of champagne, and drank it contentedly.
This dish is more greasy than the other, suitable for alpine bear creatures, he is prepared for guests, ready to deal with two bites of meaning on the line, I don't plan to increase the amount, first eat half full will not be with him for a long time, he is still young.
After a while, two familiar and two vaguely familiar figures entered the hall, and were led by a waiter in a maid's fashion costume and walked towards Yang Wei.
Song Wan and Yinghua are not familiar with the current Yang Wei at all, and when they saw the child behind the table, they shrank down the bench and stood up, and at the same time showed a smile, Song Wan even praised Sun Hongxia beside him: "This is your child, it's really polite." ”
"My little cousin!" Sun Hongxia's face was solemn, and she raised her palms towards Yang Wei and solemnly introduced.
Song Wan suddenly stumbled under his feet when he heard the sound, and his body was unstable, if it weren't for Yinghua's quick eyes, he would have hung his head on the ground.
Wang Bing, who was walking behind, was very satisfied with Song Wan's performance in front of him, and retracted his curiosity with satisfaction, and turned his head to signal to the waiter: "Everyone is together, serve the food." ”
The waitress said yes and arranged for the meal.
"Brother Song, Sister Xiaohua, sit down." Sun Hongxia diligently helped Song Wan and his wife pull the stool to give up their seats, looking enthusiastic, I don't know if I have been with someone for a long time, I didn't show my mouth at all before I came, and I was interested in watching people's jokes, until I satisfied the dark psychology at this time, and then I went back to make up for it.
Song Wan sighed, his body was boneless and soft on the chair, looking like he was about to die: "Hongxia, Hongxia, Brother Song didn't offend you, how many times have I shouted for you along the way, uncle, you really dare to agree for others." ”
Sun Hongxia didn't do much, Yinghua sneered, thinking of his lover's gratitude and reverence for the elders in the car, and then looked at the little kid with small arms and legs in front of him, and couldn't help laughing: "Yes, when you see a rope, you can climb along it, and I don't know if I fell into the well and drowned in my previous life, this resentment is too big, hello uncle, haha, I am your Yinghua niece." ”
Yang Wei smiled and stretched out his little hand, holding Yinghua's outstretched hand, and the watermelon head nodded slowly, indicating that he recognized this eldest niece, and his unceremonious attitude made Yinghua even more laughing.
Yinghua has a cold and reserved temperament unique to playing art things, a bit like the unique elegance and loftiness of reading too much, and a bit like dancing ballet, which makes people feel stretched and straight, and the neck is longer, it is usually difficult for her to be so relaxed when she meets strangers for the first time, and even she doesn't realize it.
Song Wanyi covered his face, withdrew his hands and immediately replaced them with a sweet smirk, smiling at Yang Wei like a child: "Little brother, let's make our own friends, okay?" ”
Yang Wei smiled even sweeter, and also understood Song Wan's character, poured two glasses of small champagne that he had blended, put them on the table of Song Wan and his wife, returned to the stool and sat down again, staring at Song Wan with round eyes: "Teacher Song, since you have asked for this, then I will not engage in the same set of resignations, don't complain in the future that I don't respect the teacher, and deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors." ”
