Chapter 211 Go to Lao Mo's Restaurant to Learn
The four of them worked for a whole morning and finally finished making all the dumplings and wontons.
Lin Siqiao asked Lu Jianchuan to go to the utility room and move a pickle jar to the yard.
When winter comes in Beijing, every household will pickle some eight-treasure vegetables, pickled garlic, and mustard greens in advance.
Lin Siqiao originally thought that he would adapt to the local customs and pickle less vegetables, so he even bought a jar for pickles.
Later, after Lin Siqiao went to the service center several times, he discovered that the service center sold ready-made pickles with a wide variety and inexpensive prices.
Then why should she go through the trouble of pickling it herself?
You can buy it as you eat.
Later the pickle jar was left idle, but now it comes in handy.
Lin Siqiao froze the wrapped dumplings and wontons outside for half an hour to make sure they would not stick together before pouring them into the pickle jar.
Just cover it with plastic film and leave it in the open air.
The weather will get colder as time goes by, and this will be enough for her to eat for a long time.
However, Lin Siqiao is not the kind of person who eats alone. Recently, she has often followed Aunt Lu and others to Aunt Fu's house for free meals.
So when the dumplings and wontons were packed, she asked Lu Jianchuan to send some over.
Lin Siqiao also did not forget Yun Shu's portion and packed a separate bag for her.
Of course, Lin Siqiao did not forget to remind her.
Yellow croaker and shepherd's purse are both irritants, so just let Yunshu eat them herself, and don't be soft-hearted and share them with Chen Yucheng.
He is now in the critical period of postoperative recovery and needs to pay special attention to his diet.
Even the slightest inflammation could cause discomfort to his body.
After listening to this, Lu Yunshu nodded. She knew the seriousness of the matter and would not act on her own on such a matter.
After explaining all this, Lin Siqiao went to the kitchen, fried the remaining yellow croaker bones and heads in lard until both sides were golden brown, and then poured in a whole bottle of boiled water.
Just like that, after simmering on high heat for half an hour, a pot of milky white yellow croaker soup was ready.
Wild yellow croaker is already delicious, and the broth made from it can be paired with freshly made yellow croaker wontons.
With a bite of wonton and a sip of soup, everyone's mouth and taste buds reached an unprecedented satisfaction!
After dinner, Mother Lu didn't go anywhere in the afternoon. She just sat at home with the children, drinking tea and chatting.
Before they knew it, it was almost time to leave, and several people sent Lu's mother to the train station.
When she came, Mother Lu could only carry a small luggage bag, but now when she left, she had more than twice as much luggage.
Lu Jianchuan bought a few platform tickets and sent Lu's mother to the train in advance.
Although Mother Lu was a little reluctant, the children would be on vacation in just over a month, so there was nothing to be sad about.
"It's getting late, you should go back quickly."
After Lu Jianchuan put his luggage away, he nodded.
"Mom, be careful on the road and give us a call when you get there."
"Don't worry, this is not the first time I've been away from home. You guys, on the other hand, must take good care of yourselves."
"knew."
The three of them nodded in unison, but no one moved.
Only after the train left the platform did they follow the crowd out of the station.
Lu Jianchuan sent Lu Yunshu to the hospital first. Lin Siqiao felt that since he was already there, he had to go and visit her, otherwise it would be very impolite.
Lu Jianchuan glanced at the sky and hesitated.
Lin Siqiao immediately said, "Just go up and take a look. It won't take too long."
Lu Jianchuan nodded helplessly.
It was true that he agreed, but he really just took Lin Siqiao up to take a look.
Lin Siqiao had just said hello and had not had time to sit down when Lu Jianchuan spoke.
"We have something else to do. We'll come see you another day when we're free."
“…”
Lin Siqiao was speechless. If he had known this would happen, he would have rather not come up.
But Lu Jianchuan acted as if nothing had happened and didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.
After leaving the hospital, he straightened his cuffs and looked over seriously.
"Xiao Qiao, where are we going now?"
Hearing the expectation in his tone, Lin Siqiao suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
It was true that she had made an appointment with Lu Jianchuan, but she...
Forget it, let’s talk about it when we get there.
"Come on, follow me."
Lin Siqiao took him on bus No. 32, and half an hour later, they arrived at a restaurant called Beijing Exhibition Hall.
When people first hear the name, they might think it is a state-owned restaurant.
However, the actual situation is that this is the famous Western restaurant in Beijing - Lao Mo!
As one of the oldest Western restaurants in Beijing, it has been able to stay here for nearly 20 years, so it must have its strengths.
So, Lin Siqiao came here today partly to make an appointment with Lu Jianchuan.
On the other hand, I also wanted to come here to learn from them and take a look at their pricing and the taste of the food.
As for the decoration... there is really no comparison.
Before coming, Lin Siqiao had heard that Lao Mo's luxury and grandeur were among the best in Beijing!
Now that I'm here, just by looking at the door, I know what seeing is believing.
Entering through the luxurious revolving wooden door is a seven-meter-high hall. The ceiling above your head is decorated with plaster floral decorations made of pine branches, pine cones and snowflakes.
Under the illumination of the gilded crystal chandelier, everything seemed so beautiful that it seemed unreal.
The restaurant is surrounded by four huge copper pillars that stand from floor to ceiling, on which are carved various cute little animals.
There are Russian oil paintings hanging high on the walls, pale yellow tablecloths, translucent high-foot glasses, and exquisite silver tableware, as well as a small fountain in the center of the restaurant.
It has to be said that Lao Mo's wealth is deeply engraved in his bones.
You know, such decoration would be considered a high-end restaurant even in later times, let alone in this era.
But what's strange is that it's clearly dinner time, but Lao Mo's business is not very good.
Lin Siqiao took a look and saw that there were only four tables of people, including her and Lu Jianchuan.
They are all Chinese.
Lin Siqiao was wondering why there was not a single foreign friend when the waiter came over.
"Good evening, comrades. What would you like to eat?"
The waitress handed over the menu. Although her words were polite, her expression was not very enthusiastic.
After Lin Siqiao glanced at it indifferently, his eyes fell on the menu, which was just two thin pieces of paper.
The above dishes are basically Russian-style cuisine.
I thought that such decoration would be shockingly expensive, but after taking a look at it, it’s actually not that bad.
Generally, if two people come, they can eat a full meal for five dollars.
Five dollars may be a lot for ordinary people, but from the beginning of its construction, Lao Mo was not positioned for ordinary people at all.
So this price is actually not expensive for foreigners.
Seeing this, Lin Siqiao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Lao Mo only dares to sell at this price, so if she wants to double it, will anyone buy it?
