The group stopped in front of the Kyoto State-owned Hotel. Mu Qingli stopped there with her bicycle and looked at the facade of the Kyoto Hotel.
The Kyoto State-Owned Hotel was considered a very high-end restaurant in that era. It was a ten-story building that looked grand and majestic. There were few pedestrians and cars on the wide road in front of the door, but there were many blue and white buses passing by.
Qin Xiao parked the car and came to Fu Hongzhou and the others. This time it was true that driving was not as fast as riding a bike.
"Let's go! What are you looking at?" Qin Xiao said, and walked towards the hotel first.
Mu Qingli and Fu Hongzhou parked their bicycles and walked towards the hotel.
When these young people entered the restaurant, they attracted a lot of attention.
After all, the people who come to Kyoto Hotel at this time are basically middle-aged people, or older men with a certain status. Young people who come here are all accompanied by their families.
There are very few young people like Mu Qingli who openly enter the Kyoto Hotel to have a meal.
There were quite a few people sitting in the lobby of Kyoto Hotel, and the dining tables in the lobby were all very high-end. They were not the kind of tables that you would find in a small restaurant with just a few simple chairs.
The tables in the lobby are all covered with dark red tablecloths, and are large and square. The chairs are also mahogany chairs with smooth lines and a simple and elegant look.
"Just sit here! Come on!" said the host Bo Chuyan, pointing to a large round table.
Mu Qingli discovered that there were waiters here, all of them were men, no women.
After they sat down, a waiter brought the menu and the order book and left. This was much more comfortable than the waitresses who looked up to them at the windows of state-owned restaurants in the county and town when they ate there.
Mu Qingli looked at the way of ordering food which was somewhat similar to the modern way, and exchanged a glance with Fu Hongzhou, and they both smiled knowingly.
In Kyoto Hotel, they ate at the Chinese kitchen and also ate Chinese food. It is said that this hotel also has a Western restaurant, but there are very few people dining there. Most of them are probably foreigners, or the hotel is hosting a banquet for foreigners.
"This is not the county or the town, there is not much to eat. The dishes here are complete, just order whatever you want! You're welcome!" Bo Chuyan handed the menu to Fu Hongzhou, asking him to order what Mu Qingli liked, or let Mu Qingli order by herself.
Fu Hongzhou naturally didn't bother to be polite with him and ordered a few dishes that Mu Qingli liked.
The first one was Kyoto roast duck, and the second was crystal pork elbow. Both dishes were chosen by Mu Qingli as her favorites.
"Hongzhou, you like spicy rabbit meat, give me one!" Mu Qingli said, pointing to the menu.
"Yeah! Okay! No need to be polite to him!" Fu Hongzhou wrote down the name of the dish and said casually.
Bo Chuyan secretly gave Fu Hongzhou a glare, thinking he was a guy who valued women over friends.
Wang Shuhui ordered a serving of spicy tofu, and Mu Qingfeng ordered braised oxtail, which both Mu Qingli and Wang Shuhui loved!
Qin Xiao was even funnier, he directly ordered a steamed giant soft-shelled turtle, while Zhang Wenshan chose hand-cut lamb.
Seeing that everyone had a dish, Bo Chuyan finally ordered a plate of five-spice braised beef for himself, and also asked for a small cold dish. He also ordered dumplings from Kyoto Hotel as the main course, but it was marked that they would be served in an hour. He also asked for a bottle of Maotai for eight yuan.
Everyone is generally short of meat and no one wants vegetarian food.
"There's no class today, and Hongzhou won't be going back to the army, right? Let's have two drinks!" Bo Chuyan smiled and took the bill from the waiter and said directly to the Maotai that was served first.
"I'll be back early tomorrow morning!" Fu Hongzhou said, and placed the wine glass in front of himself.
Bo Chuyan took another wine glass and placed it in front of Mu Qingfeng and Qin Xiao, and poured them some wine.
Then he poured some for himself and Fu Hongzhou.
"Mu Qingli, would you like a drink too?" As he said that, Bo Chuyan glanced at Wang Shuhui, Zhang Wenshan and the others.
"I don't want to drink!" said Mu Qingli.
"I don't want to drink either!" Wang Shuhui waved her hand to refuse.
"Let me have a drink!" Zhang Wenshan took the wine glass generously, held it in front of Bo Chuyan, waiting for him to fill it up.
Bo Chuyan chuckled and poured a glass for Zhang Wenshan.
"You drink too?" Qin Xiao couldn't help but ask with some disgust.
"What's wrong with drinking? You're the only one who talks too much!" Zhang Wenshan said to Qin Xiao bluntly.
"...It's not good for girls to drink!" Qin Xiao didn't know whether he couldn't stand Zhang Wenshan drinking, or he simply couldn't stand girls drinking, but he said another sentence anyway.
Zhang Wenshan snorted with a hint of arrogance: "Hmph! Watch me drink you down!"
Qin Xiao couldn't help but frown after hearing this, but thinking that the other party was not related to him, he didn't say much and kept silent.
"Wenshan, don't get yourself drunk, or we won't take care of you and send you back!" Mu Qingli said with a smile.
"You dare!" Zhang Wenshan glared at Mu Qingli and said in a feigned anger.
"Haha! Do you think I dare?" Mu Qingli joked with a smile and glanced at Qin Xiao.
"Just wait! I'll beat Fu Hongzhou up a few more times to vent my anger!" Zhang Wenshan threatened.
"Really?" Mu Qingli didn't care.
"Ali, don't trust her. I always beat her. She can't beat me!" Fu Hongzhou said seriously with a cold face.
This made Zhang Wenshan look at Fu Hongzhou even more unconvinced. She took note of it in her heart and decided to continue fighting with him when she got back. She just didn't believe it.
After a while, the dishes arrived one after another, filling the table.
"Tsk tsk, this dish is so exquisite, whether it's the knife skills or the plating, it looks like a carefully crafted work of art. How can I bear to eat it?"
Mu Qingli looked at the table full of meticulously crafted dishes, with the plates also decorated to perfection. She couldn't help but sigh, "They are truly exquisite works of art."
