Chapter 181: Interview (Part II)

"The history of this restaurant is as long as that of the imperial capital, and the people who come here to eat are all celebrities from the imperial capital." Mo Lan is like a tour guide who is familiar with the road, leading the way and talking eloquently.

"Can you change places? I don't want to be turned away. "Before he got sick, Chen Fang and his grandfather often frequented this red sailing restaurant, so they knew its rules very well, and unless they were noble, they didn't want to be their guests. If it had been open to civilians, it would have ceased to be a restaurant and a tourist destination.

"I didn't expect you to have some knowledge, so I brought you here to let you experience the food that only nobles can enjoy." Mo Lan smiled lightly and walked in front to lead the way.

She's a regular customer! Seeing the foreman who looked like a housekeeper taking the initiative to lead the way for Mo Lan, Chen was relieved to have a hint of enlightenment. She is a journalist, and in the imperial capital, except for a few political and military control areas, there are very few forbidden areas for journalists, and the restaurants that are places of consumption are certainly not included.

Mo Lan's purpose in coming to the red sailboat is by no means to show off, she regards herself as a friend, just like a child who finds a fun place and brings her best friends to play with her, Chen Fang can think of this because he has also done the same thing.

I think that at the beginning, the lion patronized the red sailboat for the first time, and was also given by Chen Fang to the deadlift, at that time, the lion's father was unlucky, as his son, obviously not qualified to patronize this restaurant. I vaguely remember that the lion was scared to death at that time, and he didn't dare to follow him, so he shouted vigorously at the door, and also released cruel words, if Chen Fang dared to force him again, he would break off his friendship with Chen Fang.

Later, Chen Fang was also very annoyed, and solemnly warned the lion that if he dared to be verbose again, he would break off his friendship with him first.

The lion was finally forced to compromise, and enjoyed the most memorable dinner of his life with trepidation, and then refused to care about it again, even after Bruce became the director of the CIA, the lion still avoided this restaurant, poor little lion, probably fell into some kind of problem, is it the psychological shadow of the legend.

Thinking of this, Chen Fang was full of guilt, his childhood memories were still there, and he subconsciously walked towards the still familiar table.

The arm was suddenly grabbed, and Mo Lan's voice whispered: "Don't mess around, the table over there is not where we stay." ”

Chen Fang woke up suddenly, this time is different from the past, he is in the light of Mo Lan, so he has the opportunity to open his eyes, don't make it difficult for her.

There is also a reason for the red sailing ship to refuse the commoners, different from the commoners who advocate equality, the nobles pay attention to their status, respect etiquette, they are also nobles, and they are divided into three, six, nine, etc., what identity should be done in what place, otherwise it is easy to cause chaos, for example, if Bruce messes up the rules, he goes to the restaurant first and occupies the best seat, and after a while, Chen Bowei also comes to patronize, how should he deal with himself?

All nobles know to abide by the rules, they also know their identity, and they know where to sit, so this kind of absurd thing rarely happens on the red sailing ship. However, the common people do not know the rules, and even if they do, they cannot distinguish who is superior and who is low, and if it is open to the common people, it will inevitably disrupt this conventional order. All in all, if the red house does not refuse, it is equivalent to driving away the aristocratic customers, and it is impossible to have both fish and bear's paws, and a store that has been in business for thousands of years naturally knows who to keep.

In order to distinguish and facilitate the nobles, the red sailing ship specially divided the hall of the restaurant into three parts with steps, and reserved the seats on the high place for the big people, and the seats of the nobles were usually in the largest area in the middle, and the last nobles who were barely qualified to enter sat on the outside.

Mo Lan picked a corner platform, which was on the lowest floor, so she didn't have to worry about conflicts with others, and by the window, she could enjoy the prosperity of the imperial capital comfortably.

Considering that the red sailing boat belongs to an aristocratic restaurant and his spending power is limited, Chen Fang pretended to glance at the menu, mainly to detect the price, and casually ordered a Xiao crab and a glass of Caputo wine, which he liked to eat in the past, so he should buy it at a high price to revisit.

The waiter couldn't help but be stunned, he had worked on the red schooner for two years, and he was very sure that there was nothing called Xiao Crab on the menu, and that caputo wine was common and famous, because it was the favorite of the Secretary of State.

Mo Lan thought it was a new dish, and was full of thoughts of trying it, so she also asked Chen Fang for one.

"Wait a minute." The waiter quickly recorded it, and walked gracefully towards the kitchen, never saying no to the customer, this is the iron law of the red sailboat, even if he can't make this dish, it should be the chef who apologizes, it is not his turn to call the shots.

While waiting, Mo Lan took out a data terminal and put it on the table.

The mercury-colored metal shell has a simple and regular appearance, and with a leather case of the same color, it feels very comfortable. As a professional, Chen Fang pays more attention to the interior, and the screen is large, indicating that this terminal has rich functions, and the independent numeric keypad is the symbol of a professional model.

"I heard that you are an outstanding data engineer, so I asked someone to find a data terminal to give it to you." Mo Lan imitated the wording of the media report, exaggerated compliments.

"It's beautiful." Chen Fang said that the beauty is not only not the appearance, experts can see the power of this model, the portable data terminal is different from the big guy, can DIY improvement by itself, due to the hardware is not compatible, supporting research and development is required, players can not get out, only strong large enterprises have research and development capabilities. Even if Chen Fang wants to build a good terminal by himself, he can only take the formal way, basically, the latest model of a well-known company, represents the most high-end model, and the KV logo on this terminal shows that it is a stunner from a famous family.

"This is KV's highest-end professional test model, which is not yet seen on the market, and should be worthy of your identity. In terms of functionality, I won't play with you as an expert. Mo Lan explained lightly.

"It's too precious for me to take it." Chen Fang pretended to shirk it, and even he felt fake, and he had goosebumps all over his body.

"Just take it as if I asked you, take it." Mo Lan said bitterly: "The mention of your old-fashioned terminal makes people angry, even if you are very high, you have to consider others, who still uses a single digital screen now?" If you send a message and transcode, who can do it if you change it to an ordinary person? Every time I contact you, I feel like I'm back to my old job. ”

"To tell you the truth, not counting my previous colleagues, there are only two people who can communicate with me in numbers." Chen put away the gift with a hippie smile.

At noon, the hall of the restaurant gradually became lively, sure enough, they are all characters with heads and faces, and they are very orderly, they will not look left and right when they enter the hall, and go straight to their own area, but all the people look at the window together, there is a pair of young men and women, the man is handsome and dignified, the woman is beautiful and incomprehensible, the two talk and laugh freely, and enjoy themselves, in the lifeless restaurant, like a touch of emerald green in the middle of winter, which makes people intoxicated, it feels good to be young, but let them rack their brains, I can't think of the family background of this man and woman, judging from the position, their family's reputation is obviously not high.

In other words, Chen Fang's Xiao Crab finally appeared, and it brought a full shock as soon as it appeared on the stage, attracting countless eyeballs.

The so-called Xiao crab, it is better to call it a giant crab, or a mutated variety, with a pair of giant rings, hard carapace, and sharp inverted teeth at the edges, like a majestic general, if someone encounters this kind of monster on the beach, the only thought is to escape.

Helplessly, this buddy's fate is not good, so he was cooked, his whole body was red, steaming with a rich aroma of wine, and he was placed on a special metal plate.

"This is Xiao Crab?" Mo Lanhua's face changed miserably, and she secretly hated that she couldn't suppress her evil curiosity, which was good, but her image was completely ruined. If she hadn't followed the trend and asked for a guest, she would have suspected that Chen Fang was deliberately playing tricks on him, and she would have known that Xiao Crab was this kind of thing, and she would even stop Chen Fang from messing around.

Girls should take into account their image when eating, especially in public, in the field of nobility such as the red sailboat, they must be more cautious, hard things can not be wanted, elastic ones cannot be wanted, too large pieces must be given up, everything that needs to be gnawed, do not even think about it, and ignore it directly from the menu.

Mo Lan is still full of confidence in the skills of dining, and if she changes to other crabs, she thinks that the process of enjoying can be elegant, but this Xiao crab is clearly a poison that destroys the image.

Not to mention eating, from the moment it is brought out, it is doomed, whose table this thing is carried to, whose image is finished! Especially on a girl's table, you have to be treated like a monster. What's worse is that I still have two copies at this table, one in front of Chen Fang and one in front of her, and I can't use Chen Fang as a shield.

"Sir, this is your Xiao Crab, you enjoy it slowly." After receiving the tip from Chen Fang, the waiter took out a pair of wooden hammers from behind his back that matched the size of the giant crab and said politely, "You may need this." ”

"Nonsense! If it weren't for this thing, why would I tip you? Chen Fang secretly felt pain and took the hammer from the waiter's hand.

When Chen Fang and his grandfather came, they were not yet ten years old, how can ten-year-old children know what food is, it is nothing more than playfulness, especially Chen Fang, a child who loves to challenge, there is nothing like the fun of wielding a hammer and smashing the monster into pieces, and then swallowing the monster in one go.

The secretary of state is notoriously doting on his grandson, every time he comes to this restaurant, he will ask for a Xiao crab, let the fragments of the monster's corpse splash all over his body, smile and admire his grandson's battle, and now, the kind old man sitting opposite has become Mo Lan with a bitter face.

"No, please." Looking at the wooden mallet raised high, Mo Lan whispered softly.
