The building in front of Tong Yu resembles a privately owned courtyard house, with a retro flavor unique to the older generation of Beijing, but still revealing a touch of luxury. There is an open area at the back of the yard with many tables, chairs and benches, just like the outdoor area of many cafés. Next to it is a large pond, which is no longer blooming this season, but there are still large lotus flowers in full bloom. Tong Yu guessed that it was probably a fake flower placed in the water.

He glanced at the location sent by Ai Xin on his mobile phone again, and made sure that he was not in the wrong place, so he walked in. After walking a few steps, a waiter dressed in Republican period clothes took the initiative to greet him.

"Hello sir, several?"

"Uh...... Friends are inside. Tong Yu hesitated, but still didn't pull down the mask, and his voice sounded like an urn, "The surname is Ai." ”

"Oh okay, Miss Ai, is she?" the waiter glanced at the machine in his hand, and nodded quickly, "In the private room of Zhulin Yayuan, you wait a minute." ”

"Hmm. ”

Tong Yu stood in place for less than a minute, when another waiter appeared and took him to the private room.

What Tong Yu didn't expect was that there was actually a second floor in this place. He really wanted to go to the courtyard he just saw to eat, although the weather was cold, but it seemed that the environment was still very good. However, thinking about his identity, he still put away this heart and obediently followed the waiter to the private room.

This so-called "Bamboo Forest Elegant Garden" private room does not have walls, but several rows of bamboo rows stand on the ground, enclosing an independent space, which is very innovative.

Tong Yu looked at the bamboo wall and was wondering where the door was, so the waiter pushed the bamboo wall first, revealing the space inside. He laughed, this is quite like the secret room that often appears in costume dramas, push the door open and enter, and the door will close automatically.

"Coming?"

Ai Xin was sitting inside, drinking tea, and grinned when he saw Tong Yu, which made this cold winter a little warmer.

"Waiting a long time?"

Tong Yu took off his coat, put his hand on the chair, and was about to take off the mask, when he looked back and saw that the door was closed, before taking off the mask and hat and sitting on the rattan seat.

"No, I've just arrived. Ai Xin smiled and pushed the menu on the table in front of Tong Yu.

"Just order it. Tong Yu pushed the menu back, and looked at the layout of the room again, it was indeed very elegant, "This place is good, how did you find it?"

"Internet. ”

Ai looked at the menu without raising his head, picked up his mobile phone and raised it in front of Tong Yu, and spit out three words.

What, I'm not an old man!" Tong Yu rolled his eyes and took out his mobile phone to play.

"Do you eat fish?"

Ai Xin pointed to the pictures of several kinds of fish on the menu, and she was a little undecided.

Tong Yu looked at the menu, hesitated for a while, didn't answer, and looked back at Ai Xin.

She immediately understood, flipped a few more pages back from the menu, pointed to it and asked him, "Then will you eat shrimp today?"

"Well, good. Tong Yu nodded and opened his mouth again, "Just order it, don't ask me." ”

"Good. Ai Xin responded, but laughed in his heart. This guy obviously didn't want to eat fish today, and he still refused to speak, but fortunately he asked more, otherwise he wouldn't be able to eat well for a while.

"I'm done, I'll go and place an order. ”

Ai Xin picked up the menu on the table and the list he had written, and stood up.

"Huh?" Tong Yu was stunned and raised his head to look at her, "No waiter?"

"No, I told them not to come in. ”

Ai Xin smiled, took the things and pushed the door open and went out. After a while, she returned to the private room, still carrying two cans of drinks in her hands: "I'm going to drive today, so I won't drink." ”

"Hmm. Tong Yu nodded and took the drink in her hand. Although he didn't come by car today, he didn't really want to drink either.

The two men sat for a while, but neither spoke. Ai Xin was playing with her mobile phone, for fear that Tong Yu would ask her where she had been in the past few days. And Tong Yu looked at her playing with her mobile phone, thinking about how to ask her what she had done in the past two days.

"The ......"

"That's right......"

Both men raised their heads at the same time and looked at each other.

"Let's talk about it first. ”

Ai Xin looked at him, and his heart was no longer struggling, it was better to let him ask now.

"Nothing, just to say it's a nice place. ”

Tong Yu shrugged his shoulders, but suddenly felt that he didn't need to ask. He knew that Ai Xin had promised and would not hide anything from him, but that was not encouraging Tong Yu to break the casserole and ask for the end. Since Ai Xin doesn't take the initiative to talk about many things, there is no need for him to worry about it.

"Huh?"

Ai Xin didn't expect him to say this suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, and nodded quickly: "Well, I read it on the Internet and said that the environment is very good, and many private discussions and banquets will choose here, and the food will not look too unpalatable, which is quite suitable for coming with you." ”

If it is both private and tastes good...... Tong Yu thought, in this way, this place is no different from his own home.

"By the way, there will still be waiters coming in when the food is served in a while. But don't worry, the staff here is very high-quality, and there are often some celebrities who eat here. Ai Xin looked at him thinking, thinking that he was not at ease, so he added.

"Nothing. Tong Yu waved his hand, thinking of his two unwarranted scandals and the repercussions on the Internet, maybe he didn't need to be as cautious as he imagined.

Ai Xin wanted to say something more, but the door was pushed open, and the waiter pushed a small cart with exquisite dishes on it. He pushed the cart to the table, brought the dishes to the table one by one, bowed again, and then pushed the cart out of the room.

Ai Xin is very satisfied with this, she has always disliked the waiter being too attentive or talking too much, and just wants a quiet environment when eating. When she went out to place an order just now, she specially asked if she could try to put the dishes on at one time, so as not to disturb the meal when the waiter came in too many times, but she didn't expect the waiter to agree very happily. Ai thought to herself that maybe she wasn't the first guest to make this request at this restaurant.

Tong Yu glanced at the dishes on the table, the tableware was not big, some were still casseroles and crockpots, and it didn't seem to be very large. A white porcelain cup holds braised pork and is sprinkled with green green onions. Another white porcelain plate is painted with plum blossoms, which should be braised in oil and winter bamboo shoots, which is very suitable for Tong Yu's appetite. The black casserole is filled with milky white soup and steaming, and inside is dried bamboo shoots, matsutake mushrooms, and duck. In addition to the drunken shrimp ordered by Ai Xin, there is also a plate of stir-fried vegetables.

Five or six dishes were placed on the table, although it was a bit too much for two people, but Tong Yu's appetite was greatly boosted, and he picked up the chopsticks and prepared to taste the winter bamboo shoots first.

"Let's have soup first. Ai Xin held a small bowl in his left hand and a soup spoon in his right hand and walked around the casserole for a while, then took out a bowl of soup and put it in front of Tong Yu.

"Hmm. Tong Yu nodded, tasted the fragrant duck soup with a small spoon, and smacked his lips.

"Is it okay?" Ai Xin is also the first time to come to this restaurant, and she is really a little unsure.

"Yes. Tong Yu drank the soup in the dry bowl in one gulp and picked up the chopsticks again. For some reason, since he met Ai Xin, he has found that eating can also be a very enjoyable thing. He had never felt this way before.

"Hmm. Ai Xin also picked up the spoon and took a sip of the soup, which tasted good. She couldn't help lowering her head and laughing secretly, sure enough, Liu Yarong had completed the task very well.
