Reborn Tycoon Rise

"Mr. Xu, there's no need to send him off again." After sending Rao Bing to the door, Rao Bing replied with a smile.

Xu Zhidao: "Director Rao, walk slowly."

Back indoors, he looked at the time and saw that it was almost ten o'clock. He was also a little hungry. Although there was no shortage of food in the State Guesthouse, Xu Zhi decided to go shopping around the capital and experience the delicious food in the capital.

The accommodation provided by the State Guesthouse was similar to the villas of later generations. Xu Zhi walked into the side hall at the back and saw his parents and sister watching TV together.

Xu Zhi asked: "What program are you watching?"

Xu Yaxin said: "There's nothing interesting, just some news, and it sounds so awkward. We just saw you talking about something outside, but you didn't dare to go out."

Xu Zhi said: "We've finished talking. I decided to go out for a walk and find a place to have lunch. Do you want to go together?"

Wang Hua looked at the weather outside and asked, "It's snowing outside!"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, there will be a special car here to take us there."

"Mom, you don't have to worry about such small things." Xu Yaxin turned to Xu Zhi again and asked: "Then where should we go to eat later?"

Xu Zhi thought for a while and said, "How about we go eat Quanjude Roast Duck, which is very famous in the capital!"

"Quanjude, I've heard of the name of this store in Xiangjiang." Dad Xu Hongbang suddenly said: "Since you are going out, you should change your clothes quickly."

Xu Hongbang is an efficient type. While others were still discussing where to go to play and where to eat, he listened and got dressed.

There is heating in the hotel, so if you go out now, you will naturally need to change into thick clothes. After the four people were ready, Xu Zhi called the waiter outside and informed him to arrange a car and driver.

The car was still an Audi. The people in the Xiangjiang delegation were all people who had seen the world. They probably knew that the quality of local "Shanghai brand" cars was not good, so they specially brought in some imported cars.

"Master, go to Quanjude Roast Duck Restaurant." Xu Zhi greeted the master after everyone got on the bus.

The driver, who was about 30 years old, said: "Okay, everyone, sit down."

It was not during working hours, it was snowing outside, and there were no people on the road. Although the car could not drive fast because of the snow, there was no traffic jam after all, and the car arrived at its destination quickly.

There are very few people who can drive in this era, and even fewer people who can drive imported domestic cars. From the time Xu Zhi and others came in to the time the car arrived at the destination, the driver didn't say a word at all. Obviously, his professional quality is very special. Gao also reminded Xu Zhi of the legendary five-character profession!

"If you don't visit the Great Wall, you are not a true man. It would be a pity if you don't eat roast duck!" The roast duck here is Quanjude.

Quanjude is a time-honored Chinese brand, founded in 1864. After hundreds of years of development, it has witnessed the rise and fall of the Chinese nation. At this time, Quanjude was not a chain store on the bad streets of later generations, but a simple state-owned hotel. The entire signboard was just ordinary red. The fonts and the entire wall are pink and white, which is far less fancy than later generations, but it is said that the delicious food is first-class and makes people forget to come back.

It is not easy to eat in a state-owned hotel in this era, especially in Quanjude. However, Xu Zhi and others were riding in an Audi car. It attracted a lot of people's attention from the moment they drove to the door. After entering, not many people came over and acted stupidly. asked if there was a note, and the waiter led a few people directly into a private room.

"Sir, this is our menu." In the private room, the waitress handed the menu to Xu Zhi. She had a keen eye and could tell at a glance that this young man had the final say for the four people in front of her.

In later generations, if you want to eat a roast duck in Quanjude, even if it is the most ordinary chain store, even if there are only a few people, if you don’t prepare several hundred yuan, you may not even see the duck skin, but just the roast duck, basically two Three hundred yuan, and it was now 1981. When the recipe was placed in front of Xu Zhi, the price amazed him.

"A roast duck is 8 yuan, half a duck is 5 yuan, duck bone soup with vegetables is 5 cents, and the sauce is 0.2 yuan."

“Muxu pork costs 9.5 cents, and oily pork costs 1.6 cents.”

"Sliced ​​meat and tofu are 0.55 yuan, and fried prawns are 4.8 yuan."

"Spicy chicken is 2.6 yuan, duck liver is 0.6 yuan."

"Sweet and sour fish fillet is 1.5 yuan, and fried squid is 2.8 yuan."

"One tael of rice costs 0.03 yuan."

…

…

The most expensive dish is roast duck, which costs 8 yuan, and Maotai wine is also 8 yuan.

But if you think this price is very cheap, you are wrong. In 1981, the salary of most people in Beijing was less than 50 yuan. If four people had a meal here, half a month's salary would be lost. In later generations, the average salary in Beijing in 2019 was 6,909 yuan. A meal for three or four people usually only costs 1,000 yuan. It seems that it was obviously more expensive in the 1980s.

Not to mention that in this day and age, even if you have money, you can't come here.

Xu Zhi discussed with his family and ordered 6 dishes, namely roast duck, sliced ​​meat and tofu, fried shrimps in oil, braised sea cucumber, sliced ​​mushrooms and bamboo shoots, and crucian carp and tofu soup. I ordered a bottle of Maotai for my dad, which cost 26 yuan in total.

One meal eats up half a month's salary of an ordinary person. It is not something that ordinary people can afford in the mainland.

Soon, the waiter brought the wine and food. Dad’s Moutai was not in a glass bottle, but in a bottle that looked like a flask. Judging from the volume, it was probably only 200 ml.

The roast duck came quickly, along with the pickles and dough. Xu Zhi skillfully picked up the dough, put the duck meat with dipping sauce, added some cucumber shreds, radish strips, green onion strips and minced garlic, wrapped it up and put it directly into his mouth. middle.

The duck meat is tender and the sauce is thick but not greasy. Seeing his family eating it, Xu Zhixiao asked, "How is it? It's delicious!"

Xu Hongbang nodded and said: "It's not bad, but it's a bit heavy."

"I think it's okay!" Xu Yaxin said.

"It can't be said that the taste is heavy. Maybe you have stayed in Xiangjiang for a long time and are used to the light taste." Xu Zhi explained: "Xiaoxin went to the United States. There are all kinds of flavors there, so you can get used to the taste of this capital."

"Okay, you are right." Xu Hongbang smiled, took a sip of wine and said, "This wine is good, we can buy some and take it back to Xiangjiang."

"No need. In Xiangjiang, there is a company that specializes in Maotai liquor from the mainland. You can also buy it there." Xu Zhi explained with a smile.

"Oh, okay, I'll go take a look next time." Xu Hongbang nodded and said.

In this era in the Mainland, every dish in a restaurant is very generous, which is completely different from Xiangjiang. The stomachs of the four of us felt almost bursting, and there was still less than half of the food left to finish.

"Pack these dishes." Wang Hua greeted the waiter. Not wasting is a habit that will not change even if he has money.

Several people walked to the door and were about to return to the car. Suddenly, a person came from behind and said softly to Xu Zhi: "Sir, do you want to exchange foreign exchange certificates?"
