Chapter 1,556 Big changes(2/2)
"Seems to be."
"Don't we have a car now? There is no inconvenience anymore. Wherever you want to go, just tell me. I, Xiao Tao, am always at your disposal. While you are in the capital, I am your
A dedicated driver.”
"Thank you very much, but I don't really have anywhere I want to go. It's just the company or my home. The most I can do is go to the Temple of Heaven Park for a walk. So I understand, you should go about your business freely and don't worry about me.
It’s over.”
"Don't mention it, Brother Ning, you don't mind my "fashionable" hands. I also told you that I have traveled thousands of kilometers without any accidents. It's safe. Besides, there are a lot of things happening in our capital now.
New stuff. The Lido Hotel has the kind of 'disco' you mentioned. It seems to be called Zhu... Juliana's, which specially recruits foreigners. There is also Longtan Lake, which I heard is the first one.
A Sino-Japanese joint venture amusement park is also about to open. Are you tired of staying at home? Don’t you want to go and have a look? Let me tell you, the capital is changing every day. If you stay at home for months without going out,
, maybe it’s out of date..."
Xiao Tao drove the car onto the highway and started accelerating. He seemed to be showing off the flatness of the highway and his driving skills.
This white Fiat 126P was like an arrow, heading straight for the East Third Ring Road.
I dragged three older men with two large luggages and managed to reach over eighty miles without any effort at all.
As soon as the car arrived at the East Third Ring Road, Ning Weimin felt that Xiao Tao, who always liked to exaggerate and brag, was not exaggerating this time.
The Third Ring Road is like a big construction site, not to mention the roads and viaducts under construction.
After passing through the Third Ring Road and entering the East Second Ring Road, with Jianguomen Bridge as the center, various construction sites to be built and under construction are endless, and it seems that construction is starting everywhere.
Based on the impressions in his memory, Ning Weimin knew that these were high-end office buildings and hotels in the future.
What was even more unexpected was that Xiao Tao changed the route halfway and actually drove the car to Di'anmen on his own initiative, claiming that he wanted to meet Ning Weimin at a newly opened large restaurant.
"Wait a minute, the place your kid is taking me to, it won't be... it won't be Mingzhu Seafood, right?"
Ning Weimin's mind flashed with inspiration, and he suddenly thought of this answer.
They never expected that he would guess it right. Both Xiao Tao and Luo Guangliang were so surprised that they spoke almost at the same time.
One said, "What? You've been abroad all this time, and you actually know this place?"
Another said, "Yeah, they just opened their store not long ago. Brother Ning, you wouldn't tell me that the fame of this store has spread to Japan, right?"
I know, of course I know, why don’t I know?
Ning Weimin knew this restaurant for no other reason.
Just because this store is so dark, it is the first of the famous "three swords and one ax" in Beijing.
It is well known to everyone in the capital that it was one of the four most expensive restaurants in the capital in the 1980s and 1990s.
These four restaurants are Mingzhu Seafood east of Di'anmen, Da Sanyuan Restaurant next to Jingshan, Fei Niu Hotpot north of the former Oriental Hotel on Luomashi Street, and Shanfu Restaurant in Xinjiekou.
Beijing people are very humorous. Instead of directly saying that the prices of these four restaurants are high, they use metaphors of knives and axes.
It means that if you go to eat there, you will be brutally beaten and you will have to spend a lot of money. It is simply a knife-edge and an ax that exposes your bones. Eating a meal is like cutting flesh on your body.
As for why the first cut must be Mingzhu Seafood?
Mainly because in this day and age, eating seafood is something that you can’t be more awesome about.
The boss of Mingzhu Seafood is a Hong Kong native named Zhang Wanhong.
His greatest contribution to Beijing’s catering is to bring the Hong Kong catering service model to Mingzhu Seafood.
Anyone who has been here knows that in the days when state-owned restaurants were still the mainstay, it was pretty good to go out without letting the waiter scold you.
The characteristics of Mingzhu Seafood's service are proactively lighting cigarettes and pouring wine for guests and serving with a smile. These three points are enough to make customers happy.
In addition, six or seven authentic Cantonese chefs produced authentic tastes, which was in great contrast to the restaurants in the capital at that time.
Therefore, it became an instant hit after its opening and became well-known in the capital.
But the problem is that Ning Weimin is not someone who has never seen seafood. This is what he eats the most in Japan.
The so-called service is good, how can Mingzhu Seafood have as good a service as the Japanese?
Why would he come here to be taken advantage of, so he stopped him immediately.
"Xiao Tao, I accept your kindness. But it's really unnecessary. I know for sure that the owner of this shop belongs to Sun Erniang, and they just cut people into meat-filled buns. Killing people, killing people very hard.
Let’s forget it and don’t fall for his deception. Let’s eat somewhere else.”
Who knows that Xiao Tao is quite decent, "No, no need, Brother Ning, don't save it for me. I haven't told you the good news yet, our tricycle business is so profitable. Thanks to your blessing, Third Brother and I have
It’s a big profit. It’s just a meal, no matter how expensive it is, we can afford it. Don’t worry about it, we won’t let you spend money anyway.”
Look at what he said, this guy is really and really shocked, Ning Weimin is so angry and funny,
"What's the matter, you have to let me explain, don't you? As the saying goes, you can't do anything without doing anything, even if you work yourself to death, it won't work. If you want to treat me, then I have to be happy, right? I also told you, I am in Japan for seafood.
I'm tired of eating. Now I just want to have some taste of the capital and some home-cooked food. If you really think about me, just listen to me. Take me to the bathhouse for a bath first, and then we'll go to Uncle Kang's wine shop.
A bowl of noodles is better than anything else. Why should you take advantage of outsiders and suffer the consequences? No matter how easy it is for you to make money, there is no need to go out for a purpose, right?"
Don't say it, it will work once you say it.
Xiao Tao also thought about it, and San Sanran felt a little embarrassed.
However, just when he knew his mistakes and corrected them, Luo Guangliang, a more practical master than him, also intervened, which made Ning Weimin's face burn.
"Hey, isn't that right? Weimin, didn't you say 'four swords and one axe'? Why did you say 'three swords and one axe'?"
"Huh? Four knives and one axe? No way? This is the first time I've heard of this. Third brother, why don't you tell me which one I killed?"
"Okay, this first knife is of course your Tan Gong Restaurant, and this second knife is the turn of Mingzhu Seafood, this..."
Hey! Just ask, is this a redundant sentence?
