Chapter 10 Zhu Lin’s admiration!
Lao Mo, whose full name is Moscow Western Restaurant, is a Western-style restaurant built in 1954 with the assistance of the northern superpower.

But at this time, it is no longer called Lao Mo, but Beijing Exhibition Hall Restaurant. Those who know the reason will know it. It is nothing more than the special nature of the past few years!
In the future, he will have to restore his name in 1984!
Lao Mo’s popularity in later generations was more due to his appearances in literary works, such as "Sunny Days" and "Blood Romance".

For the stubborn people in Beijing, Lao Mo is their holy place for reconciliation.

If any group of people quarrel or reconcile and then have a meal at Lao Mo's, it would be a great honor.

Li Changhe doesn't have any sentimental feelings towards this place. The reason why he proposed Lao Mo as an option is purely because Lao Mo is one of the few places in Beijing where you can eat Western food.

For Li Changhe, it is enough as long as he can eat meat and make up for the nutrition that is lacking in this era.

Walking through the revolving door of the main entrance, you will see the seven-meter-high rooftop hall. The gorgeous gold-plated chandeliers are indeed rare in this era.

However, to Li Changhe, the decoration was just average. After all, any luxury hotel in later generations would have better decoration than this.

The two of them chose a seat by the window and sat down.

Soon, a waiter came to greet us.

"Sir, what would you like to eat?"

"Show this lady the menu!"

Li Changhe said casually and naturally.

Zhu Lin took the menu with some curiosity, looked at the menu on it, and then frowned slightly.

Seeing Zhu Lin's expression, Li Changhe smiled and said to the waiter, "Well, go ahead and do your work. We'll call you when we've made our selection!"

"Ok!"

The waiter politely left.

Although the service attitude of state-owned restaurants in this era was very poor, especially the slogans "No beating or scolding of customers" were often posted.

However, as one of the earliest Western restaurants in China, Lao Mo’s training service model is very good.

After the waiter left, Zhu Lin looked at Li Changhe, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I shouldn't have brought you here. The prices are a bit high!"

Every dish on the menu costs two or three yuan, so a meal for two people would probably cost more than ten yuan.

Although Li Changhe said he was rich, Zhu Lin still felt that the price was too high.

When Li Changhe saw her frowning, he guessed that it was probably because of the price.

"It's okay. Just consider it as a chance to broaden your horizons. To be honest, this kind of Baroque architectural style is still rare in the capital at this time."

"Environment determines taste. Eating in this environment makes you feel good. It's normal for it to be a bit expensive!"

Li Changhe smiled and said to Zhu Lin to comfort him.

Zhu Lin sighed, then handed over the menu: "Forget it, just order something!"

"By the way, what is this Baroque style you just mentioned?"

Hearing Zhu Lin's question, Li Changhe flipped through the menu and casually said, "It is a European architectural style that originated from the Italian Renaissance. It is widely loved by European royal families and nobles. It is used to build palaces for luxury and enjoyment."

"Lao Mo's place is a typical Baroque style, with a large dome and three-dimensional reliefs. By the way, there are also many walls like this in the Old Summer Palace."

"In addition, there is the Gothic style, which is dark and mysterious, with various spires and pillars. Just like the Christian church in Haidian, it is a typical Gothic building."

Lao Guo once said that a crosstalk actor is a grocery store. In fact, this sentence is also applicable to novel writers.

Most of the later online novel writers, especially those who make a living by writing online novels full-time, have some knowledge of all sorts of things, after all, they often need to use them when writing.

Li Changhe is not a professional art student, but he knows some common things.

In comparison, Zhu Lin doesn't know much about these.

"I thought that foreign architecture always looks very different. I didn't know there is such a distinction."

"Li Changhe, you know a lot, don't you?"

Zhu Lin said with some admiration at this time.

At this time, Li Changhe stretched out his arm and snapped his fingers at the waiter, and the waiter came over immediately.

"Here, I'll have the lamb stew, a shrimp salad, a French fried pork chop, a filet mignon for the lady, and I'll have the tomahawk steak."

"By the way, can you eat it cold?"

Li Changhe thought of something at this time and asked Zhu Lin.

Zhu Lin was a little surprised at first, then she suddenly thought of something, blushed a little, and nodded.

"Then have another serving of ice cream after dinner!"

"These first!"

After all, there were only two people in Li Changhe's group, so they didn't need to order too much. "Okay, please wait a moment!"

After the waiter left, Zhu Lin looked at Li Changhe in surprise and anger: "You look very experienced, have you eaten here often before?"

"No, it's my first time at Lao Mo, but I've seen people eating at a Western restaurant in books before!"

Li Changhe had eaten it often in his previous life, but this was his first time.

"What about you, have you been here before?"

"I came here once or twice more than ten years ago, but I haven't come here much since then!"

Zhu Lin still feels a little emotional when he recalls it.

"But I think you're really generous, spending money lavishly without any regrets at all!"

Zhu Lin still felt a little distressed. Just the items Li Changhe ordered just now cost at least ten yuan, or even more.

"Do you know what the greatest pain in life is?"

At this time, Li Changhe suddenly asked Zhu Lin seriously.

Seeing his expression and hearing such a serious question, Zhu Lin couldn't help but show curiosity on his face: "What is it?"

"The most painful thing in the world is that people die without spending all their money!"

"you"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lin couldn't help but feel angry, but after feeling angry he felt very happy.

What kind of perverse logic is this?
"Of course, there are things that are more painful than this!"

Li Changhe said again, pretending to be suspenseful.

Zhu Lin knew that the other party definitely had nothing good to say, but he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is it?"

"People live, but money is gone!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

The classic quote from Xiao Shenyang finally made this dignified girl laugh after thirty years.

But soon, Zhu Lin realized the environment they were in, and immediately covered her mouth with her hands, then glared at Li Changhe fiercely.

But in Li Changhe's eyes, her "dissatisfied" look was seen as coquettish and charming.

Finally, after stopping smiling, Zhu Lin looked at Li Changhe and said, "Li Changhe, I didn't realize that you are quite talkative!"

"I just want to make a point. Money is something you can't bring with you when you are born and you can't take with you when you die, so don't take it too seriously!"

"Money is a bastard, spend it and earn it again!"

"Look, when I was poor some time ago, I never went out and stayed at home to eat. Now that I'm making money, I'll go out and have a good meal!"

Li Changhe explained calmly.

"Oh, yeah. What have you been doing at home these days? Hasn't your job been assigned yet?"

Zhu Lin remembered that her mother seemed to have mentioned several times that Li Changhe stayed at home every day and never went out to make connections to arrange a job. He was a nerd.

"It was arranged, but I didn't go!"

Li Changhe said lightly.

"Ah? You didn't go?"

"So what do you do at home?"

Zhu Lin was really curious this time. In this day and age, is it still possible to not go after being assigned a job?
“Review high school knowledge at home!”

"Review high school knowledge? What do you mean?"

Zhu Lin didn't react for a moment.

"College entrance exam!"

“I’m waiting for the college entrance examination!”

"I have a feeling that the country will definitely restore the previous college entrance examination system this year!"

Li Changhe said to Zhu Lin seriously.

He knew that the girl in front of him was a college student, but she did not become a college student through the college entrance examination. Instead, she was recommended by workers, peasants and soldiers.

"Young man, are you so sure?"

At this moment, someone behind him suddenly turned around and asked Li Changhe curiously.
