Chapter 70: Lao Mo Eats (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation Votes)
Xu Damao parked his bicycle in front of a luxurious and elegant building full of rich woolly bear country style, Yu Haitang looked at the western restaurant in front of him like a noble palace, and was almost speechless.
"Come to Lao Mo for dinner......"
Yu Haitang gasped, feeling that the whole person's thinking was incoherent.
The 'Lao Mo' mentioned by the population of Beijing is a Western restaurant named after the capital of the big brother country, built in 1956, the splendid magnificent building and astronomical consumption level are the standard configuration of Lao Mo, luxury and style are incompatible with this era struggling in the food and clothing line.
Ordinary people can't afford to spend it at all, and they may order one or two appetizers and already spend a month's salary, which is mainly used to receive foreign guests, missions, experts and returnee intellectuals sent by Big Brother.
If Xu Damao wanted to come a few years ago, he was not qualified enough, not only his identity had to be there, but he also had to have a special 'ticket', and now without this high standard, this place quickly became a gathering place for the children of high-ranking officials.
In later generations, none of the novels and movies involving this era can bypass Lao Mo's restaurant, this is a symbol of the times, how can Xu Damao not come to visit, anyway, he has enough confidence.
When Yu Haitang came back to his senses, he didn't know how he was led into the luxury revolving door by Xu Damao, and at this time, looking at the golden gold-plated crystal chandelier in the entrance of the hall that was seven meters long, he instantly felt his insignificance, four golden bronze pillars, and sculpture buildings full of Mao Xiongguo style, which were very impactful.
Especially the waiter, all dressed in Bragi is eye-catching, holding a tray like a butterfly wearing flowers, crystal clear goblets, and delicate tableware of sterling silver, as if people are in another country at once.
"It's the first time I've come to Lao Mo, and I've only heard of it before." Yu Haitang immediately turned into a curious baby, and after taking a seat, she looked at the exquisite tableware of sterling silver and the exotic environment, and sighed again and again, "I still feel like I'm dreaming now, and there is a band to accompany me when I eat here!" ”
Xu Damao has finally crossed over, and he has not been to the more shocking restaurants in the future, but for the top ingredients and dishes, he can only look at the dust, and now he can live again, achieve financial freedom, and he can also enjoy the happiness of high-end cuisine.
After opening the menu, he politely asked Yu Haitang: "Do you have any taboos?" ”
Yu Haitang shook his head honestly and said, "I don't know anything about the dishes here, so you should order it." ”
Xu Damao quickly chose the dishes and said: "Creamy mushroom soup, French fried foie gras, two pan-fried steaks, and a bottle of vodka." In addition, ask the band to come and play a piece for this young lady. ”
"Okay!"
A series of exquisite exotic characteristics were served on the table, and the professional chef of Mao Xiong Country personally went into battle, giving enough face to the diners, how to discuss the taste of the dishes first, just this very beautiful plating is refreshing, Yu Haitang's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed again and again, but unfortunately there is no mobile phone in this era, and she can't send it to the circle of friends.
A small band of five people, carrying instruments such as violin and bass, gentlemanly came over and played up close.
Under Xu Damao's simple teaching, Yu Haitang gradually mastered the use of knives and forks, and soon the melt-in-the-mouth steak conquered her taste buds, the band played soothing music, and the violinist pulled the strings at close range, and the soft tune was intoxicating, this novel experience was something she had never had.
Xu Damao enjoyed the top ingredient that he couldn't afford to eat in his previous life, foie gras, ordered one after another, and ate it until it was refreshing.
Yu Haitang is not cold to sashimi, caviar and other ingredients at all, and her Chinese stomach can't adapt to this strange taste.
"What if I sneak this cutlery away?" Yu Haitang said on a whim.
Xu Damao smiled: "It won't be anything, if you are lucky and not discovered, then they will not pursue it." ”
"Really?" Yu Haitang's eyes widened and asked with some surprise.
"Of course!"
Xu Damao, this is not nonsense, Lao Mo Restaurant is famous for often losing tableware, plates, dishes, cups, sterling silver knives and forks are often taken away, and there was even a fierce man who successfully took away the chairs.
People who can come here to dine will naturally not covet this little profit, given that most of these are the children of high-ranking officials who want to do this for a novelty, so the restaurant generally will not pursue it.
Later, it was really stolen blood, so in the early seventies, Lao Mo couldn't bear it, and the sterling silver knives and forks were only for VIPs, and ordinary hall customers were replaced with ordinary knives and forks.
Yu Haitang stuck out his tongue and grimaced: "Then forget it, I'm not poor enough to be spineless." ”
She began to quickly calculate in her heart whether her only ten yuan left could pay for this meal, and by asking Xu Damao about the ingredients of the dishes on the side, she generally had some expectations in her heart:
"Two steaks are only three catties, according to the market price, it should not exceed two yuan, as for foie gras and so on, presumably the price will not be high."
After the calculation, Yu Haitang gradually gained self-confidence, and ate more and more at ease, thinking in her heart, this good place experience is enough for her to go back and blow for a year, this environment is really refreshing, it means that Li has repaid the money or paid her salary next month, she plans to come again, Xu Damao seems to have opened the door to a new world for her, and she is full of instinctive curiosity about these.
"Hello, pay."
Xu Damao looked at the bill sent by Miss Bragi, and was a little surprised, the cost was much lower than expected, and the precious ingredients such as black truffle and caviar were added so many times in a row, and only one hundred and thirty-six yuan was spent in total.
Yes, it is good and cheap, and you can come often in the future.
Xu Damao took out ten yuan and handed it to Miss Braji, eating in Lao Mo is similar to the rules of the West, all of them have to tip, and the waiter and the band will divide it evenly through the proportion.
"Thank you." Miss Braggi spoke, and then politely withdrew.
Yu Haitang snorted and said, "This time it should be my treat, how can I make you pay, my money here is just enough." ”
"Just enough?"
Xu Damao raised his eyebrows, and looked at Yu Haitang in surprise, could it be that she is also a hidden little rich woman?
This is not right, Yu Haitang and Yu Li's family conditions are the same, how can they carry a few hundred yuan with them.
When he saw Yu Haitang offering a treasure and offering a ten-yuan unity, he understood what she meant on the spot, and almost laughed out loud of a pig, daring to love Yu Haitang to take the tip as the meal money this time.
Xu Damao couldn't bear to puncture Yu Haitang's beautiful fantasy, so he couldn't help but have a strange smile on his face, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I paid subconsciously, so let's do it, this meal is mine, and I'll let you ask you next time." ”
"Alright then!" Yu Haitang readily agreed, and then said with endless aftertaste, "How can this Lao Mo restaurant be as expensive as rumored, although the amount of each dish is very small, which makes me feel that ten yuan is not worth it, but the service attitude and exotic environment of the people are indeed a very novel experience, and when I have money next month, I will come again!" ”
"Ahem......"
Xu Damao pinched his arm vigorously and forcibly suppressed the laughing action.
"Begonia, you go to the cart first, I'll go to the toilet inside." Xu Damao branched out in Haitang and went to pay alone later.
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Yu Haitang walked out of the revolving door, facing the spring breeze blowing, she felt refreshed, to the first western restaurant in the capital, this experience is simply as fresh, as fresh as going to a foreign country, unheard of, unseen dishes, exotic buildings, resplendent halls, all Miss Braggie, and a band that plays music for your dinner......
Scene after scene appeared in front of her, and she would have something to brag about in the future.
"Hahahaha......"
Watching Yu Haitang get out of the revolving door, Xu Damao couldn't hold it back anymore, he leaned back and closed back with a smile covering his stomach, and finally tears almost came out, and the words that came out of her serious mouth were extremely contrasting and disobedient, Xu Damao really couldn't bear to debunk it.
Ten yuan is not worth it, and Yu Haitang's stalk can make him laugh for a year.
After Xu Damao paid for the meal, he came out of the luxurious revolving door, and Yu Haitang was already waiting with her bulk second-hand car.
"Shall we go back directly?" Yu Haitang asked meaningfully.
"Let's go to the department store in Xizhimen, I'll buy something."
Hearing Xu Damao's plan, his heart jumped, and he pretended to be calm and asked, "What are you going to buy?" ”
"Well, buy some cigarettes, alcohol and groceries, and get a set of coats by the way, I also heard from your radio script today that the price of watches and bicycles has dropped significantly, so buy one for each by the way."
Yu Haitang's heart trembled, and secretly screamed that it was not good, Xu Damao really hadn't given up his plan to buy a bicycle, but fortunately he came out with him today, she said with a smile: "Anyway, I'm fine now, why don't we go together, I'll take you by bike." ”
Xu Damao smiled, feeling that Yu Haitang's character is straightforward, and getting along with him can indeed bring him a lot of novel experiences, just like a girl riding a bicycle to lead people, and she is the only girl she knows who dares to say this, and it is estimated that she dares to do so.
"Okay, then I'll get your light on you."
Xu Damao was not polite, he was sitting on the back seat with a stride, Yu Haitang didn't think there was any problem, he rode on the car and pedaled hard in front, and soon got on the road with the help of Xu Damao.
But when the next pair of strong arms wrapped around her slender waist, Yu Haitang's heartbeat missed half a beat, and at this time it felt that something was wrong, she had never been so close to the opposite sex, and she instantly felt that this proposal was not good, and now this hand was crooked, and she almost fell down several times.
Yu Haitang gritted her teeth and forced her composure, she would definitely reprimand herself aggressively if she changed someone else, but Xu Damao did not have the psychology of rejection, in her heart, Xu Damao was already the perfect boyfriend.
Xu Damao quietly slowed down the strength of his arm, so that Yu Haitang would not be too embarrassed, and his heart was indeed like a mirror, when the girl did not refuse to contact with your super friendship, then the attitude towards you was self-evident.
As long as he wants, the factory can be taken down in minutes.
