Li Zhongxin and Masako Mitsui chatted in the car for a while, and the car had already returned to the city.

After they arrived in the city, they did not return to the hotel, but took a bus to the old Shanghai Stock Exchange hotel in Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Li Zhongxin and his parents made an appointment with them when they set off in the morning. During dinner, they gathered at the old Shanghai restaurant and tasted the authentic old flavor of the Shanghai market together.

The old hotel in Shanghai recommended by Wang Yajie was founded in the first year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty. It was originally named Rongshun Pavilion, which is an old hotel with a history of more than a hundred years.

When Chinese people eat, they like to eat old restaurants, especially restaurants over a hundred years ago, because Chinese people know in their hearts that restaurants that can be operated from a hundred years ago to this time basically have unique characteristics and are well managed. People choose places to eat, and the older the shops, the more popular they are.

Just like Quanjude’s roast duck restaurant and Tianjin’s Goubuli buns, these things are super old stores passed down from generation to generation. These restaurants can be said to be a banner among Chinese hotels. They are all super awesome in terms of taste and service.

Li Zhongxin still remembers that in later generations, whether it was the roast duck restaurant in Quanjude or the Goubuli buns, they were all listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. However, in later generations, people had no initial feelings for these super old stores. As soon as these super old stores were listed and started to operate capital, the original intention of the hotel management would undergo a huge change, and everything was seen to money and lost the soul of a century-old store.

This old hotel in Shanghai is not far from where Li Zhongxin and his friends live. At Yuyuan Mall, known as the Mingyuan of the Sea, according to Wang Yajie, this place may have been the birthplace of the Shanghai market's dishes at the beginning. The dishes are known for their fine selection of ingredients and pure flavor.

Zhang Huanying, the founder of this old hotel in Shanghai, is from Chuansha, Pudong, and is not too far from Zhongxin Company's industrial science and technology park in Pudong.

In the first year of Guangxu, the chef rented a disrepaired building on the old schoolyard road on the west side of the old Chenghuang Temple in New Taipei Gate, opened a husband-and-wife shop, named it Rongshun Pavilion.

At that time, the store was small and the equipment was old, with only two and a half tables. Master Zhang, named Zhang Huanying, took care of himself, his wife and son, served the hall. Because of his superb cooking skills and affordable dishes, the market was crowded shortly after the opening.

As the business became better and more famous, the store name was gradually changed to Lao Rongshunguan. However, the regular customers in the store were used to calling it old hotels and gradually became famous, so the boss simply changed to Lao Rongshunguan as the store name.

This old Shanghai restaurant can be said to be a very authentic special dish in the Shanghai market. It has always paid attention to the characteristics of the dishes. The ingredients are fresh and fresh. The ingredients are taken seriously. They should not be taken without fresh or live. Especially the fish and shrimps must be lively.

In the century-old growth process and development practice, the old hotel applied different cooking methods to different ingredients and parts, absorbed the cooking characteristics of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, and changed the rich oil red sauce to the original flavor, and focused on cooking, keeping the fragrance, crispness, freshness, and tender without losing the nutritional content, thus developing and enriching the national dishes, forming a unique Shanghai flavor. The signature special dishes include Babao duck, three-silk, Babao hot sauce, salt and pepper ribs, squirrel yellow croaker, bamboo shoots and eel paste, etc.

In the 1930s, the Rongshun Pavilion store had developed to two floors, but Zhang Huanying's son inherited his father's business and was diligent in starting a business. The dishes were of color, fragrance, taste, and shape. He was good at learning and created a number of special dishes, such as the casserole, the big fish head sauté, the eight-treasure duck, etc., which became increasingly famous.

It is precisely for this reason that people in the Shanghai Stock Exchange call the places they often go to "old places", and the old diners in "Rongshun Pavilion" call it "old hotel".

Li Zhongxin pays attention to eating well everywhere, eating local specialties, and eating the most authentic things.

Li Zhongxin didn't care much about travel, because Li Zhongxin felt that living alone was nothing more than four words - eating, drinking, and having fun.

In later generations, his mother often taught him that it was very interesting. He could eat all his food, wear 28, bet half, and get free for a job. It was precisely for this reason that Li Zhongxin always adhered to a principle, that was to do something about food as much as possible, and basically nothing else was important.

With his current status and value, he doesn't have to consider what he wears at all. Basically, what is popular or what clothes are the best at this time is basically these clothes, and he doesn't have to worry about the clothes. Even Masako Mitsui prepares him more than a dozen sets of clothes every year.

Li Zhongxin has not liked gambling since he was a child. It is okay to have fun, but Li Zhongxin really doesn’t care much about gambling.

When playing mahjong or poker, everyone is usually the one who wins money and treats guests. Basically, the money is given to the hotel. Li Zhongxin doesn’t like the big gambling thing at all. Li Zhongxin thinks that if he has the time to gamble, he will do anything casually than spending time on this matter.

As for the last thing, Li Zhongxin felt that he didn't need such a situation at all. He could find any kind of woman he thought, but now it is not the time of the ancient feudal dynasty, and it is not illegal to find any number of wives casually.

Li Zhongxin didn't have much feeling about women. In the last life, Li Zhongxin was just simply with his wife and had no idea of ​​going out to talk about anything. But in this life! Li Zhongxin has no idea of ​​finding a woman at this time.

Therefore, whenever Li Zhongxin goes to a place, the most important thing is to eat and drink. No matter when, food and drink must be raised. He takes his parents out. He even feels that to do this and give his parents happiness is not just something that can be said by his mouth, but it is done.

After Li Zhongxin and the others arrived at the old hotel, they sat down for a while and saw Feng Banshan bringing Wang Yaqing and the others in.
