60s: I have a store

Chapter 85 The wild boars all turned around and laughed (Subscribe)
"It would be nice if we could go to Lao Mo's for a meal."

Luo Dapeng makes a wish.

The Lao Mo he mentioned is the Moscow Restaurant. Since it opened in 1954, it has been a Western restaurant that many Beijingers are eager to go in for a meal.

It is said that the decoration inside is all in the style of Big Brother, and the kitchen equipment is advanced, almost all of which is electrified. There are seven large refrigerators, two large electric stoves, and various electric stoves for making coffee, baking snacks, and frying oil.

All the tableware used by "Lao Mo", except for the porcelain which was fired in Jingdezhen, was supplied by Big Brother, including more than 10,000 glass and crystal cups.

Zhou Yimin couldn't help but think of a joke about Lao Mo's tableware in later generations.

It is said that Lao Mo's spoons were all made of silver. Some people would secretly take the spoons away after their meal, which gave Lao Mo a headache. In the end, he had to change them to steel ones.

When it first opened, the Moscow restaurant only served a small group of people, generally experts from Big Brother, foreign guests, etc.

At that time, ordinary people who wanted to go in to eat and see the world needed an admission ticket.

The admission ticket was made by Lao Mo himself, it was a receipt from a Moscow restaurant.

Now, several years have passed, and everyone is still enthusiastic about Lao Mo. The long queue makes several circles outside the tall restaurant.

If ordinary people can go to Lao Mo once, they can enjoy it for a month or two.

Especially for a spirited young man like Luo Dapeng, the temptation is very strong. The spirited young men in the capital are generally called "naughty masters". Being able to have a meal with Lao Mo is not only a matter of money, but more importantly a symbol of status.

The gangsters regard going to "Lao Mo" to eat Western food as an activity full of honor. To them, it is not just a dinner party, but closer to a ritual pilgrimage.

"Lao Mo, let's do it next time!" Zhou Yimin said.

In fact, he was not very interested in Lao Mo.

As a soul of later generations, what country's style restaurants have you not seen?

What kind of Western food have you not tried?

The current Lao Mo is a bit like the future KFC and McDonald's. In the beginning, a lot of people went there to eat, thinking that it was very high-end and it was a great thing to have a meal there.

Little did they know that the thing was actually just fast food.

Afterwards, Zhou Yimin took them to a famous restaurant for dinner.

The most famous restaurant should be Fengzeyuan, which has received many foreign guests and has a very high reputation.

When talking about restaurants in the capital, we have to mention "Badalou", "Badatang", "Badachun" and "Badaju". Of course, many of these time-honored brands no longer exist for various reasons.

Zhou Yimin ordered several dishes.

Not to mention Zhou Dazhong, even Luo Dapeng and Li Youde had rarely eaten a meal of this scale!

They finished off several dishes in a real clean-plate action, almost licking even the soup clean.

“This day is so relaxing!”

Luo Dapeng touched his belly and felt satisfied for the first time in his life.

Now, he and Li Youde are following Zhou Yimin's powerful "friend" and earning a lot of money. In the future, it won't be a problem for them to have a meal at this kind of restaurant every month.

……

Director Li brought bananas home, which naturally caused another round of exclamations from his family.

"Yimin is amazing! This kind of fruit is not common in our north, right?"

"Not only is it uncommon, I've only seen it twice in my life."

Director Li told the family, "The day after tomorrow, Yimin will come over for dinner."

"Then we have to prepare well."

Although Director Li's daughter-in-law has never met Zhou Yimin, she is very grateful to him. The milk her child drinks now is still provided by Zhou Yimin!

"I'll queue up and buy a roast duck then."

There is an old hen at home, and I was thinking of slaughtering it these two days to give some nourishment to my daughter-in-law who is in confinement.

"Go cut some more meat!"

The family discussed the menu and took Zhou Yimin's upcoming dinner very seriously.

After eating, Zhou Dazhong returned to the steel plant in an orderly manner. Unlike Zhou Yimin, he would not go to the factory unless he had a task to complete.

Zhou Yimin went home to catch up on his sleep as he didn't sleep well last night.

In a daze, he heard someone knocking on his door.

"Yimin, Yimin! The people from Zhoujiazhuang are looking for you."

Zhou Yimin opened his eyes, cleared his mind, and realized it was Li Youde's voice, so he had to get up and open the door.

"People from Zhoujiazhuang?"

"Yes! He's just outside the yard and didn't come in." Li Youde said.

Zhou Yimin was puzzled. Why did the people from Zhoujiazhuang come to see him at this time? Who were they? He walked out and saw that it was Zhou Dafu and five other young people from the village.

"Da Fu, looking for a job again?" Zhou Yimin asked with a smile.

It was no secret in Zhoujiazhuang that Chow Tai Fook wanted to move into the city.

"Uncle Sixteen, we went into the mountains and caught some prey, look..." Zhou Dafu pointed to the two sacks behind him, one of which was still oozing with blood.

Good fellow! If someone saw this in the future, they would think it was a case of dismemberment!
As for the other sack, there was still movement, and the things inside were alive.

"Let me see what it is."

Zhou Yimin guessed that this guy was probably stimulated by Zhou Dazhong's entry into the factory, and he was still not giving up. A group of people secretly went into the mountains to hunt, hoping to make money to buy jobs.

"It was a wild boar and some pheasants."

Zhou Yimin opened it and looked. It was a wild boar that was dead. It was not big, less than 5 kilograms, probably underage. There were pheasants, still alive and kicking.

But, what's wrong with you kid?

Zhou Yimin also discovered that Chow Tai Fook seemed to have a lame leg.

"What's wrong with your foot? Was it hit by a wild boar?" Zhou Yimin asked him.

Zhou Dafu looked embarrassed and said nothing.

Others laughed mercilessly, saying, "He sprained his ankle while running. The wild boar wasn't chasing him at all."

Zhou Dafu was like someone's tail was stepped on, and he was furious: "Didn't you come for me in the first place?"

"Don't flatter yourself. From the beginning to the end, the wild boar never looked at you in the eye."

"Yes! Seeing you fall, the wild boar turned around and laughed."

Zhou Yimin: “…”

How dare you go into the mountains to hunt?

Zhou Yimin caught a pheasant and said, "You guys wait here, Dafu, come in with me."

When he came out just now, Zhou Yimin saw an old man at home.

Zhou Dafu didn't understand, but he still obeyed and limped behind Zhou Yimin.

"Uncle, are you busy?"

"Yimin, what's the matter?" The old man, still holding Chinese herbal medicine in his hand, looked at Zhou Yimin who was holding a pheasant in one hand.

"This kid sprained his ankle, I want you to take a look."

After saying that, he handed the pheasant to the middle-aged woman next to him and said, "Auntie, this pheasant is your consultation fee!"

"Oh! Yimin, you are too polite. Just look at my feet. It's just something your uncle can do easily." The aunt said happily.

Only then did Chow Tai Fook realize that his uncle had asked someone to treat his feet.
