Chapter 45: Croissant Bread
"Kosson" means "sheep's horn" in French.
Therefore, croissant bread is also called "croissant".
Perfect croissant, golden in color and crispy on the palate.
Each bite is like stepping on a fallen leaf in your mouth, and you will hear a crisp "click".
The sound is undoubtedly an appetite motivator.
But it does not mean that this kind of bread can only satisfy people's appetites.
At some special times, it can bring people enjoyment even beyond its own meaning as food.
For example, December 25, 1997, Christmas morning.
In the restaurant of the presidential suite on the 37th floor of the Hilton Hotel, the first five-star hotel in Shanghai.
Zhuoqun, who had just gotten up, felt the supreme enjoyment of this physical and mental pleasure.
Because Connie, who was dressed in a bathrobe, was snuggled in his arms, carefully spreading a layer of citrus sauce on the hot croissant.
Then he brought the bread to his mouth with his own hands.
"Click!"
Zhuo Qun chewed contentedly, and his narrowed eyes were full of manly pride.
And after feeding Zhuo Qun, Connie herself took a bite.
The same "Click!"
In addition to the smile in her eyes, there was also the shyness of a newborn woman.
Such tenderness and sweetness, coupled with the linen table, shiny white porcelain tableware.
And a room full of pink and white roses.
and the warm and bright morning sunlight that shines into the room through floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
Who can say that this warm and beautiful sight is not as good as the croissant bread itself.
There's even a full French breakfast with scrambled eggs, bacon, cream with strawberries and freshly ground coffee.
What can make people's hearts ripple and have an endless aftertaste?
Yes, after half a year of acquaintance.
Last night, Zhuo Qun finally got his wish.
Completed the clearance of love in this place and completely owned Connie.
But to be honest, this beautiful romance is not easy to come by.
That is, he is absolutely useless if other ordinary people are there.
Because not only does it require careful design, but it also requires a lot of money to support it.
First of all, it's better to have a special day.
The reason why Zhuo Qun didn't choose Connie's birthday was mainly because he knew that Connie's colleagues were going to celebrate her birthday together.
He was sure that this birthday was destined to be a carnival party with mass participation.
Sure enough, on Connie's birthday, in addition to officially introducing Zhuo Qun as her boyfriend, to everyone.
Her attention has always been on her colleagues.
Later, a few girls were so excited that they went to the cash cabinet to sing.
It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that they returned to the base collective dormitory.
Zhuo Qun was only responsible for paying the bills, and by the way, he acted as a volunteer driver and bodyguard.
There is simply no chance to kiss Fangze
So he had to decide to wait patiently for another month, with Christmas Eve and Christmas as a breakthrough.
On that day, since the day has been chosen, it is time to make a series of special arrangements to create surprises and romance.
In addition to preparing Christmas gifts himself.
also mobilized a few buddies to help, ordering flowers, looking for actors, booking hotels, and booking courtesy cars.
In addition, he also asked Su Jihong to help, using methods such as shifting shifts.
Adjust Connie's work schedule and rest days according to his requirements.
In this way, on Christmas Eve, December 24, when Connie was going to fly back to Shanghai with the flight in the afternoon.
She didn't expect that Zhuo Qun, who had just sent herself to the airport and had not been separated for a long time.
was the first to board the plane with a red rose in her hand, and became the only guest who needed her services today.
Dare him buy out all the first-class cabins on this flight!
It is conceivable how excited Connie will be with this surprise like the plot of the movie.
But at this point, the romance has only just begun.
Because just after the two of them flew to Shanghai.
As soon as she left the terminal, Connie was greeted by an extended version of Rolls-Royce sent by the Hilton Hotel.
Then she got into the car amid the exclamations of her colleagues and followed Zhuoqun to the huge Christmas tree in front of the Hilton Hotel.
At this time, a group of foreign actors played Santa Claus and Christmas elves poured out of the hotel.
She was welcomed in public with gorgeous singing, dancing and magic shows.
And just after the song and dance performance, Connie, who got off the bus, thought it was over.
Zhuo Qun made his debut as the real protagonist of this performance.
He took advantage of his rebirth and completely plagiarized classic clips from the British film "Love Actually", which would not be released until a few years later.
It's in the song of "Love Is All Around" sung softly by a foreigner.
Just in front of many hotel guests who were attracted to it.
He imitated Mark's actions in the movie and began to show his love through huge pieces of paper handed over by a hand.
Confess to Connie.
Because the content of the pictures and texts on the card is similar to copying the movie in its entirety.
The confessions conceived by the screenwriter seem to be both sincere and humorous.
And the move itself is full of suspense and fun, so that all the onlookers can't help but secretly praise it.
So Zhuo Qun not only moved Connie on the spot, but also didn't want it.
As soon as the card was displayed, it was immediately reciprocated with love.
He also received applause and encouragement from onlookers and a whistle and thumbs up.
After that, it was the two of them who went to change into evening dresses for formal occasions.
Join hands for a lavish Christmas dinner filled with music, champagne and streamers.
After having a good time, they finally stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the presidential suite and enjoyed the fireworks display specially prepared by Zhuo Qun.
In front of the brilliant fireworks that lasted for half an hour.
Connie could no longer resist the successive emotional bombardments, and completely melted into Zhuoqun's arms.
The rest, that's a matter of course.
In short, this romantic night was like a fairy tale, and both people got great joy and physical and mental satisfaction from it.
Then you can imagine when you get up the next day.
When Connie opened the gift box handed to her by Zhuoqun, she was pleasantly surprised to find a Cartier diamond-encrusted watch worth 200,000 yuan.
The concentration of their love will inevitably continue to increase, not decrease.
This may be the most perfect and dreamy courtship process in the real world.
So on the day of December 25th, when they had breakfast and walked out of the hotel.
Although there isn't much Christmas atmosphere on the streets, Huhai is no stranger to them, and there is no exoticism like Paris.
But they all have a sense of novelty like a romantic poem.
Together, they walked around the Bund and strolled through the streets and alleys.
Lunch at a small restaurant or café with a good eye on the spot.
I also watched a movie in the afternoon, and I was all interested.
Even though it was snowing, they had to go back to the comfort of their hotel because of the cold.
But in the wafting aroma of black tea and pastries, they can still find happiness by snuggling up to each other and chatting lazily.
At this time, the Shanghai Sea shrouded in cold mist outside the window has become the perfect background for their passion and love.
And in the evening, when the streets are full of lights, Connie makes a new request.
"I still want to dance today, but I'm going to go to JJ and dance Disco, okay?"
Zhuo Qun couldn't help but smile at her childishness.
To be honest, he has good coordination, is more talented in dancing, and is considered a strong point in jumping.
Even after the age of thirty-five, I can dance a few songs in a nightclub.
Now that he is young and strong, he is naturally not afraid of this matter.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the ballroom in the evening.
Zhuo Qun had no discomfort at all, and naturally took Connie out of the popular "three steps of nightclub" twenty years later.
There's even some Mike Jackson's moves.
And that roundabout posture with casual dance steps made Connie like it very much at first glance.
If you like it, you have to learn, and she learns really fast.
So when she was able to dance with Zhuo Qun, it shocked the audience.
Even the lead dancer standing on the stage stopped dancing and began to pay attention to their movements.
Especially the people around them, the couples all stepped aside, spontaneously formed a large circle, and admired their dance that transcended the times.
At first, everyone was a little hesitant, but the music and dance steps quickly raised the enthusiasm.
More and more people are starting to imitate their movements and dance steps.
That's it, after a few songs.
Most of the people at the scene seem to have become time-travelers twenty years later, changing their dance steps into classics that have been honed by time.
This unusual phenomenon has even led to the owners of discotheques.
And it is necessary to hire Zhuo Qun and Connie to be the lead dancers.
Therefore, there are two greatest joys that this incident brings to Zhuoqun
One is the boss's reaction when he rejects it.
At first, the boss thought that he didn't give face, and kept raising the price in anger.
But then he was told by his subordinates that he was the guest of the most expensive private room.
So the boss's face quickly changed between surprise, hesitation, regret and ridicule.
can catch up with the change of face of Sichuan Opera, which can be called wonderful.
The second is that he unintentionally changed the history of popular dance and accelerated the revolution of discotheque.
The popularity was much greater than he could have imagined.
This made him can't help but reverie.
If his dance moves could really spread so quickly, would it really become a phenomenal fashion craze?
Let foreigners also chase the fashion he brought?
