Fengcheng old events

Chapter 3 Fengtian
Liu Huaqi turned his head and asked Zhang Jingyi who was sitting beside him, "Jingyi, are you hungry?"

Zhang Jingyi nodded, his face flushed red, and he lowered his head.

Liu Huaqi turned to his son sitting on the other side: "Zhaorui, are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"

Liu Zhaorui thought for a while, and said, "I want to eat steak. But it's up to my aunt, she can eat whatever she wants."

Liu Huaqi said: "I remember there is a Russian restaurant here, I don't know if it is still open now, there are steaks, Russian-style beef and potatoes, grilled sausages and onions, the taste is not bad." He turned his head and asked Zhang Jingyi: "Can these be eaten? Otherwise, let's go out for a while and find a restaurant you like slowly."

Zhang Jingyi nodded and said, "Okay. I don't know if there are any barbershops run by foreigners nearby. I haven't had my hair done for a few days."

Liu Huaqi said: "Let's take Zhao Rui to eat steak first, and then I will accompany you to search around here slowly, there will always be some." Turning to He Zishan, he said: "Mr. He, come together, let me do it for you, It is hard work for you to accompany us for hundreds of kilometers."

He Zishan said: "It should be, Comrade Hua Qi, you don't have to be so polite."

Liu Huaqi stood up, put on his coat, and asked He Zishan, "What money do you use here?"

He Zishan said: "Guangyang, Yingyang, ruble, and French currency are all acceptable. The Zhonglian roll of the National Party has also come over, and the Japanese yen can also be circulated. I don't know if anyone is willing to accept only Manyuan. The National Party's bank can take it. Swap Man Yuan into other currencies. Comrades from the Fengtian Provincial Party Committee have prepared some legal currency for you.”

He took out a large kraft paper envelope from his purse and handed it to Liu Huaqi.

Liu Huaqi thought for a while, reached out to take the envelope, and said, "I'm not being disrespectful, now I have no income, and I still have a family to support, so I really don't need money."

He Zishan said: "The organization has taken this into consideration. We will pay all your expenses in Fengtian. Anton will arrange a suitable job for you when you arrive. Don't worry."

Liu Huaqi nodded, put on his coat, stuffed the envelope into his pocket, helped Zhang Jingyi get the mink hat, put it on for her, and said to Liu Zhaorui, "Put the hat on well, don't blow the wind."

The four people left the room and went down the stairs to the lobby on the first floor. Liu Huaqi walked over, said a few words to the service staff in Russian, and walked back and said, "Fortunately, the restaurant is still there, even the location hasn't changed."

He Zishan smiled and said, "Mr. Liu is really familiar with Fengtian."

Liu Huaqi nodded and said, "I've lived here for a while."

After leaving the gate of the hotel, the cold wind and snowflakes were blowing in front of me. There were not many people on the street, trams jingled past, and several cars that looked like square boxes were parked by the side of the road.

He Zishan beckoned, and a "taxi" pulled by two horses ran over. Curtains were added around the car to keep out the cold wind, and there was a copper charcoal stove inside.

The four got into the car, and Liu Huaqi said, "Take Naniwa-dori (Zhongshan Road) to Kasugacho (Taiyuan Street), and then go to the Russian restaurant at the fork."

The owner of the car flicked his whip, and the two horses moved against the wind and snow.

Liu Huaqi said to Zhang Jingyi: "Fengtian has been here longer than Bingcheng, and there are more good things. Here, Minghuchun, Dongtingchun, and Lumingchun are all good restaurants. The dishes are better than New World, but the dishes are slightly different. It's different, I'll take you to eat it when you're rested tomorrow, and see if you like it, and I'll follow Zhaorui today."

Zhang Jingyi blinked and looked at Liu Huaqi: "Is it better than New World?"

Liu Huaqi said with a smile: "It's better, you don't travel much, and you don't know much. Fengtian has a shop here for 200 years, and even the raw family has become a mature hand, not to mention there are masters sitting in the battle."

Zhang Jingyi asked: "Have you eaten?"

Liu Huaqi nodded and said, "You must like Minghuchun's Bird's Nest and Yipinyi, and Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, which you haven't seen yet. Dongtingchun and Lumingchun, I'm not sure if you will like it, anyway. Let's talk about it after eating, it's all Shandong cuisine.

Fengtian also makes good dumplings, called Bianjia dumplings, do you like dumplings?I haven't asked you yet, and it's rare to see you wanting to eat this in Bingcheng. "

Zhang Jingyi nodded vigorously, and reached out to hold Liu Huaqi's arm.

Liu Zhaorui and He Zishan sat across from each other, and He Zishan said: "Lu Mingchun is very good, not only the food is good, but the people are also good."

Liu Huaqi glanced at He Zishan and nodded.At that time, Lu Mingchun was the main activity place of our party in Fengtian.

At that time, Fengtian had 72 restaurants on the sixth floor of Sanchun, and 81 relatively famous restaurants. Led by the rising star Lu Mingchun, the private sector was canceled after liberation.

In [-], the old chefs of Sanchun and their descendants discussed to reopen the restaurant. Minghuchun, Dongtingchun and Lumingchun are combined into one, which is today’s Shaoyuan Restaurant in Taiyuan Street, Fengtian. The name comes from A plaque hanging in the lobby of Laolu Mingchun.

Later, Lu Mingchun was rebuilt, and Dongting Chunming Lake Chun was also rebuilt one after another.However, it is already a different name.

There were passers-by on the street, wearing cotton robes and dog fur hats, walking by the side of the street with their hands folded and their heads tucked in. Zhang Jingyi looked at them with wide eyes, feeling very novel.There are also human-powered rickshaws, and the drivers trot on the ice and snow with white breath, which is a bit faster than the jingling bells of the trams.

Liu Huaqi stroked Zhang Jingyi's head and asked, "Does it look good?"

Zhang Jingyi nodded: "It's bigger than Bingcheng, and the roads are wider. There are more people." After a pause, he added: "There are also more buildings."

The owner of the car slapped his whip again, and the car stopped steadily at the entrance of Molinaya Restaurant.

"Sir, we're here." The owner of the car pulled off the scarf covering his mouth, which was actually a piece of cotton cloth, opened the curtain of the car a little, and said to the four people sitting in the car.

Liu Huaqi got out of the car and stretched out his hand to help Zhang Jingyi down. Over there, He Zishan had already handed the owner a Guangyang. The price of this kind of carriage is quite high. At this time, four people can eat a good meal in the restaurant for only three yuan. Or four bucks.

The carriage was immediately called away by the two boys. In such weather, riding in a four-wheeled carriage with a charcoal stove is also considered a kind of enjoyment.

The restaurant is built on the side of the road. It is a red brick building. There is a cable-stayed canopy facing the street to keep out the rain and snow. At this moment, it is covered with snowflakes, and there are icicles hanging down from the edge. It seems that the boss is not A not very diligent person.

After entering the room, with a string of beautiful wind chimes, the waiter wearing a traditional flower skirt with Maozi came up and greeted with a smile.

He found a random table, ordered steak for Liu Zhaorui, and ordered thick soup and salad for Zhang Jingyi, and then Liu Huaqi asked He Zishan what he wanted to eat.He Zishan was not too polite, and ordered goulash and sausage, as well as some bread and oxtail soup.

He Zishan also understands some Russian, so it is no problem to communicate with the waiter.

After eating and drinking the tail soup, Liu Huaqi asked the restaurant to cut some beef sausage and put them in paper bags. Then he paid the bill, and the four of them got up and came out of the restaurant.The cars here are not easy to call. The four of them waited in the small hall at the entrance for a while, and after finishing their cup of coffee, they saw a car approaching.

He Zishan went out to stop the car, said a few words, and waved his hand to indicate that he could take a seat. Liu Huaqi took Zhang Jingyi and Liu Zhaorui out of the glass door of the restaurant, and the four of them got in the car and returned to the hotel. It was impossible to go shopping in such weather.

A group of people surrounded the hotel, looking up.

It's replacing the hotel's plaque.The original Yamato Hotel sign and the Japanese neon signs were removed, and replaced with a larger sign: Railway Hotel.
