Chapter 74: A classy Moscow restaurant

Wang Hu was slightly startled after hearing the old man's words. When he opened a few pieces of paper in his hand, he found that the name of the Moscow restaurant was written on it, and it was stamped.

Wang Hu looked up at the old man and found that the direction the old man was traveling was also the direction of the Moscow restaurant. There were several capable men behind him, guarding him as he walked in.

Wang Hu pinched the meal ticket in his hand and looked at the old man's back, his eyes full of surprise, although he knew that the old man was probably not an ordinary person to have a guard.

But being able to take out meal coupons and give them away casually, I guess the old man's status is unusual. After all, in this period, even the children of high-ranking cadres were proud to go to Moscow restaurants.

"Xiao Qian, you are tired of shopping! How about we go to eat?" Wang Hu walked around with Zhang Qian for a while, then walked over and said with a smile.

"Okay! What should we eat? I'll pay this time!" Zhang Qian said without thinking after hearing this. Wang Hu invited her to dinner in the morning, and she kept it in mind, thinking about when to treat her back. .

"Xiaoqian, you are out of sight now. Who among us is going with whom? Let's go, I'll treat you to a nice meal!" Wang Hu said and took her towards the Moscow restaurant.

"Xiaohu, you forgot, we asked just now that you need a meal ticket to enter!" Zhang Qian saw Wang Hu taking her to the Moscow restaurant, she leaned close to Wang Hu and whispered.

"Don't worry, come with me!" Wang Hu smiled brightly after hearing this, took her hand and led her towards the door of the restaurant.

"Please show me your meal ticket!" When the guard at the door saw Wang Hu and Wang Hu who were dressed in ordinary clothes, he didn't say anything and said businesslikely.

"No!" Wang Hu raised his hand and handed over a meal coupon. After checking it, the guard found that it was genuine. After looking at Wang Hu in surprise, he bowed without saying anything. Get out of the way.

Then Wang Hu, with Zhang Qian's surprised look on his face, took her into a high-end restaurant that was coveted in this period.

Wang Hu took her through the revolving door and followed the steps into a palace-like world, with a seven-meter-high roof, a gorgeous gold-plated chandelier, and four large bronze pillars standing in the center like a backbone. The entire restaurant was both gorgeous and magnificent. Noble, yet simple and solemn.

Moscow Restaurant, officially opened in 1954, was the first Western-style restaurant in Beijing after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

In the early days of its construction, the service targets were mainly officials stationed in China, experts from the former Soviet Union aiding China, and intellectuals who had returned from studying in Russia. Leaders of the older generation also held grand banquets here many times to receive important foreign guests.

Nowadays, politicians and the children of high-ranking cadres have become the main customers of Moscow restaurants. With meal tickets to enter, it is impossible for ordinary people to enter.

"This, this is too luxurious!" Zhang Qian said with awe as she looked at the splendid and beautiful restaurant.

Wang Hu looked around and didn't see the old man and the guard just now. He thought they had a better position and were not in the hall. Wang Hu, who originally wanted to thank him, had no choice but to give up.

"Okay, let's go, let's find a seat and sit down first!" Wang Hu pulled her to find a free seat and sat down.

As soon as the two of them sat down, a beautiful Russian waitress came over with a menu and enthusiastically asked them to order.

"Look, this service attitude is simply a few steps ahead of state-owned hotels!" When Wang Hu saw this, he often ate out, recalling the state-owned hotel waiters who always frowned, and couldn't help but sigh. .

"Come, Xiaoqian, let's see if there's anything you want to eat. I'll treat you to this meal! Don't be polite to me!"

When Wang Hu saw that there was Chinese on the menu, he didn't let the other party introduce it. He put the menu into the hands of Zhang Qian, who had not recovered from the shock, and said with a smile. "I, I haven't been here either, I don't know how to order!" Zhang Qian immediately refused at a loss after hearing this.

"It's just that I have never been here before, so I need to know more about it! Don't worry, I will bring you here when I have time!" After hearing this, Wang Hu comforted her with a smile on his face.

"Okay, let me take a look first!" After hearing Wang Hu's words, Zhang Qian calmed down and opened the menu to read.

"Xiaohu, the food here is so expensive!" After Zhang Qian opened the menu and looked at the names and prices, she couldn't help but move closer to Wang Hu and whispered to him.

"Don't worry, you can do whatever you want. I recently sold fishing to the recycling station and made a lot of money!" Wang Hu looked at Zhang Qian who was approaching him with bright eyes. He was also moved and whispered into her ear.

And the waitress, after seeing the intimate appearance of Wang Hu and Wang Hu, also lamented that the two men were so talented and beautiful.

She was very envious of Zhang Qian's fair and smooth skin. Although she was also fair, compared with Zhang Qian, her pores were larger, her skin was much rougher, and she also had some annoying tiny freckles on her face.

After Zhang Qian hesitated, she gritted her teeth and ordered two things, red cabbage soup for 0.8 yuan, and bread for 0.5 yuan.

"Xiao Qian, you just ordered something like this, do you want to raise me like a rabbit?" After Wang Hu saw it, he smiled bitterly, then leaned into Zhang Qian's ear and said teasingly.

After hearing this, Zhang Qian angrily stepped on Wang Hu's foot. Although the foot was not painful, Wang Hu still pretended to be in pain, which slightly satisfied her revenge.

Then Wang Hu took the menu and read it: braised beef in pot: 3.5 yuan, capital salad: 1.2 yuan, cream of mushroom soup: 1.2 yuan, grilled sausage: 1.8 yuan, braised small mud sausage: 1.6 yuan, coachman salad: 1.4 yuan , Butter toast mixed mix: 1.4 yuan, cherry ice cream: 0.5 yuan...

"Good guy, this dish is really not cheap!" After seeing it, Wang Hu understood why Zhang Qian only ordered the two cheapest ones.

The price is only one or two yuan. For the two people whose salary is less than [-] yuan, this is just one or two meals. They really can't afford it if they come more than once. Fortunately, Wang Hu does not rely on a fixed salary.

"One order of braised beef, cream of mushroom soup, grilled sausage, grilled mixed with cream, and cherry ice cream!" Wang Hu said to the waiter after thinking for a while.

Originally he had a big appetite and wanted to have two portions at the same time, but after Wang Hu saw the last ice cream, he changed his mind. Can two people eat two ice creams taste the same as two people eating one ice cream?

"Okay, please wait a moment!" After hearing this, the waitress took the menu and walked away.

"Xiaohu, you're crazy! Do you know how much this costs? If we add one yuan to our order, it's almost ten yuan!" After Zhang Qian silently calculated in the department store, she immediately faced Wang Hu anxiously whispered.

"Xiao Qian, if you come here for the first time, order more and taste it, and you will know which ones you like the next time you come! And this little money is what I pay for fishing for a while!" After Wang Hu heard this, he asked Zhang Qian He comforted her softly.

"But!"

"Stop it, come listen to the music here and relax!" Zhang Qian wanted to say something else, but Wang Hu immediately interrupted her and changed the subject. At this moment, "Moscow Suburban Night" was playing in the restaurant.

Zhang Qian became quiet after listening to Wang Hu's words. Listening to the soft tunes and Russian singing, she curiously observed everything around her and slowly relaxed.
