'Three sides of the theater are open to the public. ' He wanted to know about the golden dancers, but he was interested in a few of them. He was referring to the location where Donglai Shun was located during the Republic of China's time of liveliness and liveliness, as well as the hubbub from day to night.
The big red lanterns hung up on both sides and the tall memorial archways towered above them. Lin Bai took a look at the condo and felt it was rather unimpressive. When ordinary people came to eat, they would have to line up using numbers. Liu Jingtian used the skin of a tiger as a flag, and in the name of Old Man Liu inviting guests, he bluffed the two into a private room.
At first, Dong Laishun did the business of slicing mutton and buckwheat noodles, but it gradually developed to specialize in cooking mutton hotpot and stir-frying vegetables.
However, ever since Dong Lai Shun had moved to Wangfujing, he had gradually distanced himself from the market. At that time, there were still some dumplings and meatballs that ordinary people could eat. However, after all these years, they had gradually become places where people showed off their wealth and power.
Whether it was in terms of business or as a person, it was the same. There would always be a distinct pyramid that existed. Lin Bai knew that he did not have the ability to change the structure of this pyramid, so he could only ensure that his family would never be bullied by others.
"Although it's not a good time to eat mutton, it's still not bad to have a taste of this Eastern Laishun mutton." Liu Jingtian smiled as he spoke to the surprised Lin Bai.
Donglai Shun's founder, a Muslim named Ding De Shan, started selling mutton noodles and buckwheat noodles in the East market in 1903, and later added a pot of stickers and porridge. As business flourished, there were more lamb and fried vegetables, and a famous chef was poached from a competitor. From then on, the business grew.
Some people found it somewhat exaggerated to say that they had to line up for a meal. However, in the thirties and forties, Dongliu Shun had consumed over 50,000 kilograms of mutton during the high season. The numbers would always give people a sense of shock, and it was also a clear indication of what was going on.
"This Ding De Shan really has the mind to do business. For a returning citizen to mingle in four or nine cities, and to be able to do such a great thing from a small shop, it can be said to be a legend." After Liu Jingtian entered the private room, he looked around at the decorations and sighed with emotion.
Lin Bai felt that the name was a bit familiar. He was stunned for a moment before turning to Liu Jingtian beside him and asking, "Ding De Shan?"
"Yes, Ding Deshan is the founder of Dong Lai Shun. Could it be that cousin knows him?" Liu Jingtian smiled as he teased Lin Bai.
"I don't know him, but I heard from someone that they met and talked to before."
Liu Jingtian originally thought that Lin Bai was joking, but when he saw the expression on Lin Bai's face, he felt that Lin Bai was not lying, so he asked in surprise, "Cousin, how old are you talking about? "Eastern Lai Shun has a hundred and nine years of history. If this person had met Ding De Shan, he would at least be a little over one hundred years old."
Lin Bai smiled bitterly and shook his head. He did not reply, but his heart was filled with shock.
In the past, when he and old Daoist Mao Shan traveled down the mountain, he had once eaten a hotpot. After the old Daoist finished eating, he sighed and said with a sigh that the hotpot did not taste very good. At that time, Lin Bai asked him mockingly where the taste was good. He said that when he was in Beijing before, he saw a Muslim who was excellent at cooking mutton. He even helped him name a restaurant.
"Does this Eastern Lai Shun restaurant mean 'all is well from Jingdong'?"
How could Liu Jingtian understand this sort of thing? However, there was an introduction about 'Eastern Laishun' written on the wall behind him. After roughly sweeping his gaze over it, he actually found what Lin Bai had said. Liu Jingtian's face tightened as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He looked at Lin Bai and asked, "Cousin, how old is this old deity that you spoke of?"
"I don't know, I've never heard him say how old he is." The bitterness and depression on Lin Bai's face deepened.
He really didn't think that everything his Master had said was actually true, and he also didn't expect that he would walk to the place where his Master had once been. For a moment, he sighed deeply in his heart. He could not help but feel nostalgic for the old Daoist. He could not help but pick up the wine cup on the table and gulp down a few cups.
Liu Jingtian saw that Lin Bai's posture was off, but he didn't dare to say anything else. He could only play around and say, "Cousin, what dish do you want? The mutton here is different from the others, and they divide it in great detail."
East Laishun rinsed lamb meat is all the small tail sheep on the Siningol prairie, Inner Mongolia, and also more detailed, there are the brain, large trifurcate, small trifurcate, grind and cucumber strips these five parts. The sliced meat was even thinner, thinner, more uniform, more beautiful. One catty of mutton meat could cut out a hundred and eighty pieces of meat that were as thin as paper, as fine as crystal, as fine as silk and as beautiful as flowers.
In the end, Liu Jingtian decided to choose the cucumber strips for the rear legs of the sheep. Needless to say, Lin Bai didn't feel that this was mutton the moment this piece of meat was served. Instead, he felt that it was more like a handicraft, placed inside a blue and white porcelain plate that was custom-made by Jingdezhen.
The delicacy of Dong Lai Shun's meat was once famous, having tasted it during the visit of Secretary of State Kissinger to China. Having gotten used to frying food like the hamburger, the foreigner was stunned when he saw the piece of mutton. He praised that the meat was' an exquisite handicraft like a flower '.
Once he started eating, Liu Jingtian was immediately dumbfounded. This Lin Bai was like a hungry beast that had starved for more than ten days. A plate of mutton was poured into his stomach, and the plate was as big as a plate. However, it was not enough to fend off a glutton like Lin Bai. At the end, he waved his hand and had the waiter serve another ten plates, one plate for one catty. This was a total of ten catties.
Liu Jingtian wasn't the only one who was dumbfounded. Even the waiters at the side were stunned. After working in Dongliu Shun for so many years, it was the first time in his life that he had seen someone who could eat like this. A plate of mutton eighty to ten was eight hundred. Luckily, Liu Jingtian was not lacking in money, if it had been anyone else, they would have probably cried while holding onto Lin Bai.
"Cousin, how long has it been since you last ate? Or have you not eaten any meat in all these years?"
Liu Jingtian looked at the table that had been swept clean and the stack of plates piled high in front of Lin Bai. His face was no longer filled with astonishment, but instead, an expression of fear. Ye Zichen stuffed the ten catties of mutton into his stomach. If his cousin's belly was full, then wouldn't he need his father to break both his legs when he went back?
"I've grown up on the mountain and hadn't eaten my fill in all these years of trekking to the north. In addition, the lamb is really too delicious. I just couldn't explain how much I wanted to eat …"
Lin Bai scratched his head and smiled shyly at Liu Jingtian. He looked extremely bashful, completely different from the image of that old turtle from a moment ago. The waiter who was standing at the side was surprised when he saw the expression on Lin Bai's face. He actually felt that he shouldn't have been so stunned just now. This child was really pitiful, yet he was still looking down on him.
Liu Jingtian had seen Lin Bai's ordinary appearance, how could he be deceived by him? He only stared intently at Lin Bai's only son, afraid that his stomach would suddenly explode.
"This lamb taste is really good, no wonder the old thing said that the name he gave this restaurant was enough to ensure that they wouldn't fall over for a hundred years."
After eating his fill, Lin Bai's heart felt much more at ease. Even when he recalled the old Daoist Priest's past, he felt incomparably proud. After all, to be able to give such a name to such a century-old Daoist was a rare glory.
"Bullsh * t, blow it up to the sky, give Dong Lisheng a name. Third Bro, help me look at the sky. Why are there so many monsters? "
Lin Bai's voice had been rather loud the entire time, but the soundproofing of the private box was quite ordinary as well. When Lin Bai's words were heard from the outside, a sharp voice instantly sounded out in sarcasm.
Lin Bai knitted his brows, not saying a word. The attendant at the side pretended not to hear the sound and was about to clear up the items on the table. The door to a room was kicked open.
"Aiyo, this little brat must be the reincarnation of a hungry ghost. The two of them just ate so much, I can't help but complain that the cow flew into the sky!"
A group of youngsters walked in. They were all wearing black vests, and a few of them had tattoos on their thin shoulders. Lin Bai curled his lips and ignored them. He had seen many people like this in the martial arts world, but he didn't expect that there would actually be people like them in the 4th or 9th city.
"I was wondering why the hell I couldn't find a box. So it was because you two bastards took it." Hurry up and get out of here, and give this man a place! " The leader, a young man with yellow hair, stabbed towards the seat of honor at the table. He crossed his legs and looked at Lin Bai with a grimace.
Lin Bai did not utter a single word. He exerted some force with his feet and the table crashed towards the youngster. The boiling hot oil and broken porcelain plates shattered the entire room. The originally incomparably arrogant young man continued to cry and howl as the hot soup boiled in boiling oil. The group of young men behind him even stood straight, blankly staring at the room.
"How can you be like this? We're having a good meal and you're upsetting our table. How much did you spend on this table?" Lin Bai was both shocked and angry. The expression on his face was clearly drawn in place, and his face was full of fear. It was as if he wasn't the one who had flipped the table just now.
The moment he heard Lin Bai's attitude, he knew it was going to be a scam. He quickly said, "Our table has over two thousand yuan worth of food, and with this broken plate, we have to accompany a thousand or eight thousand yuan no matter what."
Lin Bai shook his head and looked disdainfully at Liu Jingtian, "Look at the blisters on his body. He's here for the water treatment, he's a rich man. We need at least ten to twenty thousand yuan."
The two brothers chatted for a while and then chatted with each other for a while, completely disregarding the group of people around them.
Lying on the ground, the young man was dumbfounded. He turned his head to look at the other people at the entrance and shouted at them, "What are you blanking out for? Hurry up and call Brother Kun over!"
