After putting the dishes she wanted to eat on the plate with chopsticks, Ruan Jiaojiao tasted them one by one.

Songjiang sea bass is tender and delicious, and the taste is plump, which makes her, who has eaten a lot of top delicacies, also heartbroken, and really deserves to be called "the first fish in the world" by the ancient emperor.

However, even the most famous Peace Hotel in Shanghai, today only serves a small three, all on Ruan Jiaojiao's table, not as big as a palm, one will cost more than a month's salary of ordinary workers, it is a real rare commodity.

Ruan Jiaojiao was deeply impressed by the dish of Eight Treasure Gourd Duck, she once ate the first person in the modern cuisine, and the craftsmanship of a state banquet master is indeed worthy of its reputation.

This dish is very elaborate, it looks like a gourd in shape, there is no knife edge on the surface, and it is said that the bones of the duck are taken from the tail part in whole, which is a great test of skill.

This time, the Eight Treasure Gourd Duck is obviously more delicious.

The sticky rice is light and soft, and it is not monotonous and greasy at all with diced pork and squid and vegetables.

The duck meat is crispy and delicious, and it tastes wonderful with slightly sweet sticky rice.

The sautéed shrimp and the final borscht also tasted good, but these two dishes didn't have much skill, and the ingredients were not rare, not much different from what she had eaten in modern times.

Because the glutinous rice has a strong sense of satiety, and Ruan Jiaojiao's appetite itself is not very big, after eating a few mouthfuls of dishes and drinking a small bowl of soup, she is almost full.

Just as Ruan Jiaojiao was wiping her mouth with a handkerchief, her life housekeeper Xu Qiuwan hurriedly entered the restaurant, and then bent down and whispered something in her ear.

Ruan Jiaojiao nodded after hearing this, then put down her handkerchief and looked at the time, it was now half past eleven.

"Can you trouble them to come to the restaurant?"

"Of course, please wait a moment, and I'll bring them up."

Ruan Jiaojiao smiled and nodded in thanks, looked at Xu Qiujuan's figure leaving in a hurry, leaned on the sofa and took a sip of tea.

…

In fact, the Peace Hotel does not allow the father and son to enter the hotel, because they are not dressed in formal clothes, which will affect other guests.

But......

Ruan Jiaojiao is their most honored guest now, and the rules are in front of her, so she can naturally lean back.

The doorman at the door had heard the conversation between Ruan Jiaojiao and the father and son, so when he saw the father and son sweating profusely, one of them ran into the hotel without saying a word to inform Xu Qiuwan.

But the notice is a notice, there is no clear notice, and the father and son can only wait at the side door of the revolving door of the hotel.

The doorman saw Xu Qiuwan in the lobby nodding to him through the glass door, and then he immediately opened the side door and motioned for the father and son to enter.

"Ms. Ruan is eating in the restaurant, please come with me."

Xu Qiuwan stepped forward and bowed slightly, and raised his left hand lightly, indicating the direction of the elevator.

The father and son stood at the side door that was opened, and they felt a burst of coolness coming from inside, and there was a faint fragrance in the coolness, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

It wasn't until Xu Qiuwan smiled and spoke again that they walked into the Peace Hotel hand and foot.

Walking in the splendid lobby, the two of them pinched the undershirts and didn't dare to raise their heads, as if they felt that it was wrong to take a second look, so they could only follow closely behind Xu Qiujuan.

This Peace Hotel is a household name in Shanghai, but there are very few people who can actually enter it, at least among all the relatives and friends of the father and son.

From the past to the present, those who can come here are not only high-ranking officials and nobles, but also people at the level of factory directors.

Coachmen like them, even when they pass by the door, can only glance at it from a distance, and dare not get too close.

After the two followed Xu Qiuwan into the elevator, they were even more nervous, they were taking the elevator for the first time, they wanted to lean against the elevator wall and grab the handrail, but they were afraid that they would get dirty here, and their limbs were the same stiff.

"Ding—"

The elevator door opened again, and Xu Qiuwan smiled and signaled and guided the father and son to follow.

There were not many customers inside the restaurant at this time, but the father and son hurriedly looked at the people inside, and the disgust and surprise that overflowed their eyes made them even more inferior and overwhelmed.

"You guys are coming, sit down."

Ruan Jiaojiao smiled, and there was no disgust in her eyes, which made the father and son relax a lot.

Looking at the leather sofa, the two hesitated a little, and finally sat down cautiously with Ruan Jiaojiao's nod and encouragement.

After Ruan Jiaojiao saw the two of them sitting down, she looked up and glanced at Xu Qiujuan who was standing on the side.

Xu Qiuwan immediately nodded slightly, found the waiter and said a few words.

It didn't take long for the waiter to deliver two glasses of mild lemonade with a menu.

"It's hot, drink. You've come to me so soon, you must have not eaten lunch, so let's eat first, and order whatever you want. ”

Ruan Jiaojiao's dishes that she hadn't eaten much before have been removed, and the restaurant is not allowed to take tips from guests except for the doorman, and the best benefit for those who serve in the restaurant is the leftover meals of the guests.

In this era, no one will dislike these leftovers, let alone Ruan Jiaojiao who has used chopsticks to clip them, even if they eat them directly, they will be very happy.

"No, you don't have to spend that much. I, we'll just go home and eat after we're done with you. ”

After speaking, the coachman's son's stomach gurgled, and the father and son were red-eared and embarrassed.

Ruan Jiaojiao smiled and beckoned, and the waiter handed over a menu again.

"I want one braised pork, then one fried shrimp, and two yellow croaker noodles ......"

Before she could finish reading, the coachman's son hurriedly interrupted, "No, not so much! Somen noodles are ready! ”

"You help me do things, what is it to eat, then these are the first, and then make up for it."

People in this era are generally short of oil and water, and they prefer thick oil red sauce to light food.

After the waiter left with the menu, the driver's son began to talk about what they had asked.

"This Ji Wenhua is still very famous in the textile factory, and he is the workshop director of the textile factory, and his ...... The lover is the team leader of the textile factory workshop, the eldest son said that he was admitted to the college entrance examination, but he didn't go, and he wanted to re-take the university exam this year, and the younger daughter is still in high school, and she is also admitted to the university this year. ”

The coachman took a sip of water, moistened his throat and continued: "There are workers from the textile factory in the alley where we live, and I know a lot of things about Ji Wenhua. He was just an ordinary worker in the factory at the beginning, but later killed his relatives in righteousness, broke off relations with his father in the newspaper, and became the workshop director within two years. Their eldest son was originally going to go to the countryside, but he seemed to have spent a lot of money to find someone to replace his son, and then successfully arranged a temporary job for his son before others reported it, so he stayed in the city.

The family seems to be doing well, it is said that his wife buys several new clothes every year, and everyone in the family has a bicycle! Oh yes! With his seniority and qualifications, the factory originally arranged a house for him, but he refused, saying that it was for people in need. At present, facing the election of deputy director of the textile factory, many people have said that they want to vote for him. ”
