Return To 1977 Chapter 778: Have a restaurant

lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!

Don't forget that "Zhang Dashao" didn't give the Hong family this face, but rejecting other people's kindness without any reason is also a burden.

In addition, "Zhang Dashao" usually does Hong Yanwu's "business" and sells a lot of "high-priced vegetables".

And only he himself knows best whether the money will be paid to the public in the end.

So no matter where you swing it, it's always a bit embarrassing.

So, within a few days, this "Zhang Dashao" made a rare invitation and wanted to treat Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan to a restaurant on the weekend.

Of course Hong Yanwu felt that he was good at this matter.

Not to mention that in his previous life, he had eaten all over the world in Paris, New York, and Tokyo. In this life, he also boasted that he had eaten in all the best time-honored restaurants and hotels in the capital.

In addition, he wanted to flatter you, so he said to "Zhang Dashao" over and over again, "How can the food outside be as delicious as yours? But since you have such a taste, we brothers are also willing to accompany you. Yes." Why don't we invite you? You can choose any place, whether it's Cuihua Building, Fengzeyuan, Judequan or Shundonglai. Hey, let's put it this way, even Jingcheng Hotel will do. Don’t be afraid of spending money, as long as you come back and order another dish from us.”

Look, you are actually willing to trade a meal for a dish? Is it okay to go to a hotel in Beijing?

Needless to say, these words naturally tickled "Zhang Dashao" again.

It's just that although this man was happy with "Kie Zhi", he didn't agree to go along with the situation. Instead, he provoked Hong Yanwu's mistakes.

"You are really a disgrace to your ancestors. Fortunately, you are still a descendant of the Hong family. Why do you speak in layman's terms every time you speak?"

Hong Yanwu couldn't help but be stunned, "Hey, what do you mean?"

"Zhang Dashao" informed with disdain.

Beijing dialect is very particular. In the past, almost every word had a clear distinction and could not be used incorrectly.

Take honorific titles as an example. The word "you" with a heart should be called "you", and the word "he" with a heart should be called "湀", all of which correspond to each other.

The same goes for describing where to go.

For example, when you say "go" somewhere, it usually means solemn and formal.

Go to work, go to Chang'an Street, go to the police station, this is fine.

When I say "go", I feel relaxed and equal.

Like going to the park, to the store, or to the cinema.

By analogy, let’s look at the word “下” in “xia dianzi”, then we’ll understand.

This not only implies self-promotion, but also implies that eating places should still be divided into upper, middle and lower levels.

Don’t forget, people in the capital always refer to stir-fry restaurants as “zhuangguan”, with zhuangguanzhuangguan at the top and restaurant at the bottom.

In that case, the level of the restaurant is of course the highest.

Most of the restaurants in Beijing are marked by the word "tang" appended to the name of the restaurant.

The standard in terms of scale is a spacious and spacious high-end courtyard, which can host dozens or hundreds of high-end banquets.

For example, the "Yanqing Hall" and "Yanxi Hall" opened by the Hong family in the past are among the top ten halls in the capital. They not only have a stage but also a garden.

Such a big business is just like a luxury five-star hotel. Of course, it cannot be maintained by receiving individual tourists. The main business is hosting weddings and weddings and birthday parties.

So people call it "Shangfanzhuang".

Whether it is admiration for the store owner's wealth or respect for the host family, it is worthy of the word "up".

The next thing that is lower than restaurants is restaurants.

As the names of restaurants imply, they are all suffixed with "楼".

Although a place like this can't host large-scale banquets, it is quite large because of its pavilions and private rooms.

In addition, there must be famous chefs and high-end specialty dishes to make it famous in the capital.

So this is the main place for receiving high-end individual guests and small gatherings, and it is also an integral part of Beijing's high-end catering.

For example, the "Yanmei Building" of the Hong family is one of the eight buildings in the capital. To say this, you have to say "go to Yanmei Building", and neither "up" nor "down" is appropriate.

Finally, further down the row, it’s the restaurant’s turn.

Compared with restaurants and restaurants, restaurants are not only smaller in scale, but also mostly bungalows without courtyards.

The font sizes are mostly "ju" and "ju", and modern ones are even more straightforward. They are often referred to directly as "such-and-such restaurant" or "such-and-such restaurant".

As for the signature dishes of restaurants, although there are many special dishes that are famous in Beijing, in most cases the dishes are sparse.

The raw materials are also ordinary, mostly chicken, duck and fish, and there are no delicacies, so the price is relatively cheap.

There is no doubt that this must be a dining place that receives ordinary customers.

The Hong family also has transactions like this. In the past, the Hong family's "Yanxing Residence" was one of the eight major residences in the capital.

So "going to a restaurant" is actually similar to "Qianlong went to Jiangnan". It can reflect people's psychological state.

Of course, there is an exception, that is when the customer mentions the specific store name.

To show respect for the store and my own modesty, I would say go to Xiamiju, Shaguoju, Liuquanju, or Guangheju.

From this point of view, "Zhang Dashao" revealed a lot of information in a simple sentence, which means that he has long excluded high-end places.

And speaking of this, there is another crucial reason.

That is high-end catering. Because they receive different customer groups, large restaurants and large hotels pay more and more attention to appearance and ignore taste for the sake of leading cadres and foreign guests.

In addition, they often participate in gourmet cooking competitions in the kitchen, which has led to the popularity of artistic platters. Therefore, many traditional dishes have to be mysterious, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also flashy.

"Zhang Dashao" despised such a dish that was extravagant and neglected the taste.

He gave specific examples for this.

For example, egg whites are whipped by hand and piled up like snow, which can be used as a substitute for cream.

As a result, one restaurant put "braised eel back" in the center of the plate, piled high egg whites around it, and renamed it "Jiao Hidden in the Snow".

They also invented a dish called "Snowflake Crab Bucket", which is crab powder put into the original shell, with a ball of egg white piled on top.

If you encounter this dish at a banquet, you can avoid the egg white when taking the chopsticks for the first dish, but you must remove the egg white before eating the second dish.

It can be seen that this kind of innovation is purely an act of taking off your pants and farting. The egg white embellishment not only does not help the dish itself, but also affects the taste of the dish.

On the other hand, the price has gone up, which is really a scam.

As for small restaurants, because the chef specializes in small restaurants all year round, many dishes are made by himself.

Concentrate on it and do it for several years, but your level is not low. You can often find good food.

So if you really want to eat, you are just a fool to go to the restaurant now. It is all a lie!

What an explanation. Although it seems a bit pretentious to say "Zhang Dashao" for a "restaurant",

Taking into account the Hong family’s background, it’s no wonder he wanted to make fun of Hong Yanwu.

Who told his ancestors to do this? As a descendant of the Hong family, I am not only ignorant, but also have forgotten my roots.

So instead of not caring, Hong Yanwu was actually very grateful and said that he had learned a lot.

He and Chen Liquan even had vague expectations in their hearts.

Why?

Just because of this particularity, they both felt that it might be unusual to go to a small restaurant with "Zhang Dashao".

Maybe it will open your eyes and really satisfy your appetite.
