Chapter 16 The coffee in your old Mo restaurant is too bad!
For a long time after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the relationship with the Soviet Big Brother was very good, and the Soviet Big Brother sent a large number of experts and scholars to the East, and after a five-year plan, the East changed from a backward agricultural country to a modern industrial country.
At the end of the first five-year plan, that is, in 1954, in order to let Lao Maozi have a place to gather and eat, Moscow Restaurant came into being on Xizhimenwai Street in the capital, and soon became Lao Maozi's favorite, and even many state banquets were held in Moscow restaurants.
The ingredients, cooks, waiters, etc., of the restaurant, are all from Lao Maozi, the taste is absolutely authentic, and later, after the relationship with Lao Maozi broke down, the original Lao Maozi left, but the Moscow restaurant still exists, and at the same time serves some dishes of Western Europe, and it is still the most popular Western restaurant in the capital.
As for Lao Mo's name, anyone who has watched "Blood Romance" should remember it vividly, and people in the old capital go to Lao Mo for dinner, which is more face-saving.
Today, Qin Feng also came to Lao Mo with Zhao Jiao.
The white Lao Maozi style building looks unique, and the main entrance faces a semi-circular walled garden with many sculptures.
Zhao Jiao's eyes looked at all this curiously, feeling very fresh, although he went out of the country, it was no different from going to the most remote countryside, and he didn't see the world.
When I came here, I felt that everything was so high-end.
Pushing open the revolving wooden door and walking in, Zhao Jiao almost screamed.
Wow, that's magnificent!
The ceiling is high, and the large chandelier with ornate gilding hangs down, and four huge bronze pillars poke into the hall, making the whole hall look like a palace.
The waiter in a black bragi dress and a small white apron walked over: "Sir, how many are you?" ”
"Four, I'll invite two friends." Qin Feng said: "Give us two cups of coffee first, and while we drink it, we will wait for our friends to arrive and then order the main meal." ”
As he spoke, Qin Feng glanced at the guests in the hall, most of them were foreigners, and there should be their own prey among them.
"Okay, this way, please."
Zhao Jiao felt that she seemed to have become a princess today, and her heart was rippling.
The dining table is covered with a light yellow tablecloth, with goblets and dark red napkins stacked on it, which looks so gorgeous and luxurious, simple and solemn.
"You two may be seated."
Qin Feng casually took out a big unity: "Thank you." ”
Watching the waiter leave, Zhao Jiao sighed with emotion: "Brother Feng, these two cups of coffee cost ten yuan?" ”
"Ten dollars is a tip, and the rest of the accounts will be settled after eating."
In recent years, wages have been rising, and under normal circumstances, you can earn more than 100 yuan a month, but if you work as a waiter in this Moscow restaurant, you can collect dozens or even hundreds of tips a day?
Zhao Jiao thought in her heart, if it weren't for Brother Feng's family, she would have come here to be a waiter.
The sound of an accordion sounded in the hall, and Zhao Jiao looked over and saw a beautiful foreign girl wearing a bright dress with an accordion hanging from her chest, playing and starting to sing as she played.
"Just as the pear blossoms are blooming all over the world, the river floats with a soft light veil; Katyusha stood on the steep shore, singing like a bright spring light..."
The girl sang in Russian, with a beautiful tune and a graceful voice, and after a song, Zhao Jiao couldn't help but applaud.
The other guests in the hall also applauded.
"Such a wonderful Katyusha can only be heard by Lao Mo." Qin Feng sighed, and then took out a big unity again.
Zhao Jiao's heart became nervous, Brother Feng, we are here to eat, not to give tips!
Qin Feng, who was generous, immediately attracted the attention of the waiter in the restaurant, and the waiter who had just entertained the two walked up with a tray and a smile.
"Coffee, two, please."
Now, there are already a group of people in the society who have become rich first, many of them are still young people, after all, young people have the courage to enterprising, and the two people sitting at this time are richly dressed, the men are handsome and the women are beautiful, and they are rich at a glance.
The waiter smiled and put the coffee on the table, but Qin Feng just sniffed it, and immediately shook his head: "No, your coffee is too low-grade, call the person in charge of making your coffee!" ”
"Sir, our coffee is Nestle, it's very high-end, you..."
"Nescafe instant coffee? No wonder it tastes so bad! Qin Feng shook his head: "Forget it, I thought you old Moduo was famous, it seems that since you changed to Chinese food, it has not been as good as before, and this has changed back to Western food, and you can't find the taste before." ”
"Sir, do you know that we have changed our food here to Chinese food?" The waiter was surprised.
"Of course, you closed down in 67 and reopened in 68, and the recipe was changed to roasted eggplant, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and the like, my old man took me to eat a few years ago, and in recent years, I heard that you have changed back to Western food, but I didn't expect it, it is still very bad!"
Zhao Jiao seems to have understood.
If you are the one who buckles the rope and comes in and says these few words, I am afraid that you will be beaten out. But now, these people have recognized Brother Feng and themselves as people with status, of course, they can't be underestimated, Brother Feng should show his coffee next, right?
"Forget it, I can't embarrass you. I'll take care of the coffee myself. When my friends came for a big meal, I wanted to taste the authentic taste, and by the way, bring a teapot and gas stove, and a garlic pot. ”
This doesn't meet the rules of our restaurant!
But in the next second, Qin Feng took out another big unity card in his hand.
So, the waiter hurried back to the back kitchen and quickly came out with a butane gas stove.
Zhao Jiao's eyes widened.
In the 80s, there was not much natural gas in the city, and many of them still used gas canisters, such a small butane gas stove on the tabletop, which she had never seen.
Turn on the fire and boil the water, Qin Feng took the garlic pot and looked at Zhao Jiao.
"Gillian, put our coffee beans in."
"Oh."
Whoa!
A few coffee beans were placed in the wooden mortar with a crisp sound, and the people who were eating in the hall immediately looked over, and one of the short men with the eastern face had a twinkle in their eyes.
Coffee bean! Where did this guy get his coffee beans from? In the East, this stuff is rare!
