Chapter 035: Santa Ana Ballroom
"Senior, what are we going to eat?" Misa Akiyama happily circled around Muyang, giving Muyang the feeling that she was taking her sister out to play.
"I don't have anything special to eat." Muyang said.
"Then I'll treat you to Japanese food, I know there is a very authentic Japanese restaurant." Misa Akiyama said.
"It seems that Japanese food is very expensive." Muyang has never eaten Japanese food, but in his impression, Japanese food is synonymous with not having enough to eat and being very expensive.
"Let's go have a try, sir." The girl actually used coquettishness, and there was no way to resist it. "Well, I really haven't eaten Japanese food yet, so let's try the authentic taste you said."
The "Matsunotei" Japanese restaurant is not far behind the north outside, and after the two of them finished in a booth, the girl handed over the menu with both hands and said, "Please order food, senior." ”
Muyang took the menu, he knew all the words, but he didn't know what it was, so he handed it back to Meisha and said, "It's my first time here, so let's have some of it." ”
"Okay, I'm sure I'll make my seniors love Japanese food." After saying that, he smiled sweetly and began to order.
After waiting for a while to order food on the table, Muyang's main feeling is that the plates are very exquisite, and the table is full of dishes, but I can't see how many dishes there are.
"Senior, this is naked, which is the meat of the tuna. This is カンパチ, Chinese name seems to be red trevally, this is the meat of salmon, this is ......" Akiyama Misa introduced to Muyang in the same way.
The meat is very delicious, a little bit of mustard, the taste is very good, but there are only a few slices, and Muyang looked at the price just now, this plate of sashimi costs 300 yuan, it's just a money grab.
"Senior, this is sushi, and the main ingredient is rice seasoned with vinegar, plus some ingredients such as fish, seafood, horse meat, vegetables or eggs." Misa Akiyama said as she sandwiched a piece of sushi to Muyang.
Muyang said in his heart, this is obviously whether the rice balls are good or not, it is nothing more than adding some ingredients, and it is being made more exquisitely.
"This is shrimp miso soup, please try it." The girl introduced the bowl in front of her with a few slices of wakame, Japanese tofu, and a soup with two shrimps on top.
"Japanese sake, drink and see." As he spoke, he poured wine for Muyang.
This meal, how to say it, the girl introduced a lot of food-related knowledge, so that Muyang learned a lot about the practice and history of Japanese cuisine, as well as the exquisiteness of eating.
But Muyang didn't eat enough, and he didn't eat well, he was even more determined in his previous thoughts, Japanese food is expensive and not full, as for the taste, it's up to you, anyway, Muyang thinks it's very ordinary.
Maybe the most enjoyable part of this meal is the girl's care, giving Muyang cloth vegetables and adding wine, it really means a bit of dedicated service, in fact, this is the most important part of this meal.
Muyang didn't know, the people at the table next to him had already seen that their eyes were already hot, they took their girlfriends out to eat, how could they have enjoyed this kind of treatment, they all had to take care of girls, seeing the beautiful girl opposite Muyang, taking care of Muyang wholeheartedly, I really saw it in my eyes, and I was jealous in my heart.
After the meal, the two walked around the campus, and Misa Akiyama said, "Senior, are you satisfied with dinner?" ”
"It's very good, mainly because Misa's care adds a lot to the meal."
The girl smiled sweetly, "Then the senior also has to take care of Misa." The girl said coquettishly.
"This weekend, I'll take you to appreciate the flavor of the old capital." Muyang said.
"Okay, I've been to the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, and I've eaten snacks in the capital in Wangfujing Snack Street, I don't know where the senior will take me?" The beauty of the yarn is full of brilliance.
"When the time comes, you will know, it is definitely the authentic flavor of the old capital that you have never seen." Muyang, a native of Beijing, still has this self-confidence.
Sending Meisha back to the dormitory, Muyang did not go back to the dormitory, but returned to his home, he has not done the task for a few days, he has checked some information in the past few days, and he feels that he is almost ready, and he is ready to complete the fourth system task today.
Using Transfiguration to change his appearance into Yamada Takano's appearance, Muyang traveled to a hotel in Tianjin.
The time and space of the Republic of China was still in the morning, Muyang took a bath directly, and then slept beautifully on the soft big bed, and slept directly until four or five o'clock in the afternoon before getting up, washing up, putting on a military uniform, Muyang went out of the hotel.
Muyang did not drive his sidecar motorcycle, but directly waved and stopped a rickshaw on the street.
"Imperial Army, where are you going?" The coachman, who was wearing a felt hat with his feet tied, asked deferentially.
"Go to Santa Ana Ballroom." After Muyang finished speaking, he leaned back on the seat, the driver didn't dare to slack off, lifted the handlebar and ran quickly, not to mention, he ran fast and steadily.
Seeing this three-story building, Muyang knew that he had arrived at the place, threw a silver dollar to the coachman, and walked straight into the building.
"Santa Ana Dance Ground" on William Street in the German Concession, on the second floor of the Majestic Cinema.
Dahua Cinema is a luxury cinema built in October 1916 by Belarusian Kulayev, which was the most luxurious cinema in Tianjin at that time.
On the second floor is the Santa Ana Ballroom, accompanied by a band and accompanied by White Russian dancers. In the early years, Zhang Xueliang and Miss Zhao Si used to dance in this dance hall. The third floor of the theater is the projection room and the manager's office, and on the roof of the third floor is a large platform of more than 300 square meters, which opens an open-air dance hall and a restaurant in summer. There is a luxury elevator that runs from the downstairs to the open-air dance hall on the third floor.
After the outbreak of the Pacific War in 1941, Japan imposed military control on Guanghua Cinema, and the current manager is called Imada San, who still implements the original business strategy, but the current Belarusian dancers have become multinational dancers, of which Japanese dancers account for more than half.
It's still early, Muyang took the elevator directly to the open-air platform on the third floor, there is Western food served here, Muyang is going to eat a little bit here, and go to the dance hall in the evening.
"Good afternoon, Your Excellency Nakasa, what is there for you?" A Japanese kimono woman hurried over to greet her.
"Get me a seat, I'm going to have dinner here." Muyang said as he took off his gloves and hat and handed them to the waitress.
The waitress hurriedly took the things handed over by Muyang, "Please come with me." "Lead the way in front after bowing.
"What do you have here?" After sitting down, Mu Yang wiped his hands with the wet towel handed over by the waiter and asked.
"Your Excellency, we mainly serve Western food here, including French steak, German pork knuckle, spaghetti, venison stewed in red wine, cheese baked mashed potatoes, ......" The waitress said a lot of dishes, it seems that this place is not limited to the taste of any country, it is a hodgepodge, but fortunately, all of them are specialties of various countries.
"Alright, bring me a black pepper steak, a roast lamb chop, a German elbow, a dessert, and a French onion soup." Muyang slept a lot, felt a little hungry, and ordered all the things.
"Do you need a drink?"
"Bring me a bottle of red wine, what's the best introduction?"
"Do you think it's okay for Changyu to solve Baina?"
"Chinese red wine, it's not bad, just him."
At this time, Japan was already in a state of confrontation with the West because of the war, so European red wine was rarely shipped to the East.
In fact, although Changyu Cabernet is produced in China, its taste is also recognized internationally, and it is not inferior to the red wines produced by those French second-class wineries.
Muyang didn't eat Western food much, but he still went to his cousin Song Xi twice, and carefully studied the dining etiquette of Western food, which was also to prepare for diplomatic work in the future.
The meal was served, maybe it was because the raw materials were original, or the chef was skilled, Muyang felt that the food was very delicious, which made him have a great appetite.
Muyang took a knife and fork to eat slowly, and drank a sip of red wine from time to time, at this time there were already two or three more tables of guests on the open-air platform, all of whom were Japanese officers, the highest rank was a Dazuo, with a kimono woman with heavy makeup on his side, but looking at the age gap, he knew that the two should not be husband and wife.
And the closest table to himself was a Japanese soldier Shaozuo, only a table away from him, and when he sat down, he met Mu Yang's gaze, and the Japanese soldier Shaozuo nodded politely, and Mu Yang also nodded in return.
However, Mu Yang found that the woman brought by Shao Zuo was wearing a cheongsam, and the two of them spoke Chinese after sitting down, Mu Yang was sure that the woman was Chinese, and he couldn't help but look at the woman carefully and curiously.
