1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 243 Maxim's Restaurant
After sending Su Ping away, Baihua Courtyard returned to its former tranquility.

On the morning of September [-], Qin Hua called and announced that the Q[-] Educated Youth Party would be held at the Capital Hotel on the [-]th in the afternoon.

Luo Tao also happily agreed and asked who was going. Luo Tao just wanted to take the opportunity to ask Li Su if he was going?
He said with a smile on the other end of the phone, "Don't worry!"The person you want will definitely arrive.

After hanging up the phone, Luo Tao began to struggle with how to face the woman he loved the most in his previous life at night.

It is probably impossible to renew the relationship in this life. Luo Tao has no ability to keep the red flag at home and the colorful flags fluttering outside.

In my previous life, I lived a vulgar and romantic life. In this life, I should be more elegant and be a good person.

Ever since he had little October, Luo Tao felt a little shy about Zhu Lin and was afraid that the mother-in-law would get sulky.Maybe it really took two lifetimes to change the love at first sight.

When I got home, I saw little October, who had not gone to Zhang's house to study today, chasing pomegranates all over the yard.

"Stop for a moment and look at the sweat on your head. Come here and let me wipe it for you." Luo Tao picked up the towel soaked in the faucet and wrung it out, and called him over.

"Dad, help me catch the pomegranate, I want to ride it." Standing on the aisle to the east courtyard, he asked Luo Tao for support, pointing to the pomegranate running towards the east courtyard.

Dog riding is okay.

"Okay, come here and wipe your face clean first. You are acting like a tabby cat every day. Your mother will beat you when she comes back."

"Huh!" He pouted and walked over.

"But when will mother come back?" He walked up to Luo Tao and looked up at Luo Tao.

"It's almost time. In the past two days, you have gone to Mr. Zhang's house three times, and your mother will be back."

Luo Tao wiped his son's sweat carefully, and at the same time patiently lied to him.

Afterwards, he lowered his head and counted on his fingers. He didn't know whether he really knew or was just talking nonsense. "It will take a long, long time."

"It's going to be quick anyway, you! As long as you act honestly, your mother will come back quickly. Go find grandma, don't run away blindly."

Luo Tao went away to Xiao Shiyue, and after washing his face, he went back to the study to practice calligraphy, the rubbings of the Ming Dynasty "Zhang Menglong Stele" that he just bought a while ago.

Luo Tao's current calligraphy skills are pretty good, and he can only say that he dares to pick up a calligraphy brush and write.

But at home, he can only rank third. The first is his father, Luo Shaoyi, who is good at regular script.

It's a pity that Luo Shaoyi rarely writes since he started working, and his skills have also dropped a lot. Fortunately, he has basic skills.

Now that he has nothing to do, he either goes to Lanting's study or the study in Lanting's small building, reading and writing, vowing to work hard to catch up on the lost time.

Recently, Luo Tao has also been influenced by him. He doesn't go out to meet guests or talk about things much, and he studies hard and practices calligraphy.

The second natural one is Zhu Lin. She has a bit of family background. Qi Lao said that one can tell by looking at her handwriting that she has been posting for many years.

Write the post calmly and with full concentration.

"Hey, did the sun come out from the west today? It's so rare. Why have I fallen in love with calligraphy recently?"

Luo Tao looked up at the heavy smoker Ma Weidu outside the window. This guy must be up to no good.

"It's not Lao Ma, how did you get in?" Thinking about how he got in after he had just locked the door when he came in.

"I opened the door and came in, what?"

Luo Tao was speechless. He was suffering from hysteria.

"Oh, something?"

He is a person who does not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

"Ahem, look what you said, I can't come and see you if nothing happens." Ma Weidu came in from the window and walked around the door.

"Come on, if there's nothing urgent, just sit down for a while and I'll practice these words."

"You practice, how can I disturb your good mood, Mr. Luo?"

Luo Tao concentrated on practicing calligraphy. When Lao Ma saw that there was no place to sit in the study, he stood watching without saying anything. His eyes brightened when he saw "Zhang Menglong Monument".But he still knew what was right. He couldn't dampen Luo Tao's mood at this time, otherwise he would be too unruly.

More than half an hour later, Luo Tao finished writing the last word, "Okay, your calligraphy has become more advanced, and your writing skills have become much better, and this calligraphy is also good."

Ma Weidu picked up the calligraphy written by Luo Tao and appreciated it carefully without hesitation.

Luo Tao just smiled when he praised him. This guy knew calligraphy with a hammer, and Luo Tao's hard-stroke calligraphy was a few blocks ahead of him.

"No, when did you fall in love with calligraphy? Mr. Zhang couldn't have forced you to practice calligraphy!"

"Ahem, what are you talking about! This is a hobby, just leave when you have something to say."

Mr. Zhang has said to his friends more than once that Luo Tao's handwriting is poor. Ma Weidu has also followed Luo Tao into this circle, so of course he knows it.

When he noticed that this grandson came empty-handed, he immediately wanted to drive him away.

"You're not authentic, I'm inviting you to dinner today." He looked smug, completely ignoring that every time he came, it was the first time he took some decent gifts.

"where?"

"How is it, Maxim?"

What Lao Ma said was that Maxim Eight was so popular in Beijing in the 90s. It was the first truly authentic Western restaurant in China. Lao Mo and Xinqiao Hotel were both Russian-style restaurants.

I went there in my previous life when I had money, but it was no longer as glamorous as it was back then.

Maxim is China's first Sino-foreign joint venture hotel. It is located on the south side of Chongwenmen intersection. It just opened in September this year. When it opened, it was directly featured on "Xinwen Lianbo". You can say it is awesome or not.

This place is known as the "Holy Land of Rock and Roll". In the 80s, there was a saying in the Beijing rock and roll circle: "Rock and roll is not close to the people, it is only close to Maxim."

This is quite reasonable. Cui Jian's "Nothing" and "Girl in the Flower House" were both sung here.

I heard that "The Girl in the Flower House" was written especially for Maxim's young master.

At that time, people from the entertainment and modeling circles gathered here. After the reform and opening up, China's social etiquette and fashion world began to sprout from the Maxim Restaurant of Chongwenmen Hotel in Beijing.

The owner of this store is a woman named Song Huaigui, known as the "Godmother of Chinese Fashion."

The first-generation Chinese model participated in a clothing show held by Pierre Cardin at the Beijing Hotel in 1981 for the general public in China, and later became the agent of Pierre Cardin Asia Pacific.

Later, she led the Chinese models out of the country.

Her marriage was also questioned by senior leaders because it was the first foreign-related marriage after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

"Hey, you're in the bank, where are you going?" In fact, it's not expensive to eat there, just to make him angry. Nowadays, only art people go there to eat.

Most people can't handle the decoration there. Huang Yuanchao went there on the day they opened and said the decoration was quite shady.

Luo Tao never wanted to go to a nightclub in his life, and he felt dizzy just looking at the dim space.

"*Bank, I'm still here talking to you. Didn't I talk to you last time? Wang Shuo still remembers it!"
He co-opened a Sichuan restaurant with others. Of course, it's not as big as yours. Don't you want to celebrate?Just ask me to give you a favor.Just say whether you want to go or not? "

Luo Tao wondered why he didn't remember, the first time he submitted a novel for "Youth Daily", Lao Ma showed it to Luo Tao, and after reading it, Luo Tao gave two words, "rogue".

The novels I wrote were too bold. In the early 80s, they contained large-scale scenes that made me blush.

As a side note, people in the 80s were also very bold. For example, the Lantianye version of "Feng Shen Yan Yi" had a large scale, and the [-] version of "Liao Zhai". Did you feel scared when you watched it?

"What time is it today?" If it was noon, Luo Tao could also consider going to have a look, but there was no need to talk about it in the evening. Their level was not high enough for Luo Tao to change places.

"Of course it's night, why are you busy?"

"That won't work. I'm going to the Capital Hotel in the evening for our educated youth gathering. I don't have time to go to your place. I'll invite you some other time, okay."

Ma Weidu could only leave with disappointment. He knew that the group of people who were educated youth together with Luo Tao were much more powerful than them.
