Chapter 147: The First Night
This Junior Suite costs thousands of euros a night, plus an additional 100 euros in taxes. The decoration style is not the opulent kind, but the color is elegant, with a few wood-framed oil paintings hanging on the plain walls, and a few small sculptures in the corners. The furniture is all fabric, and it looks warm and comfortable.
Two bedrooms stand side by side, one is a double room and the other is a twin room. Naturally, Wang Ye lived in a big bed, and the two girls lived in twin beds.
Looking at the two bedrooms next to each other, the doors were next to each other. Xue Yiyi felt a little strange in her heart, after all, Wang Ye was a strange man. Although he is Tang Doudou's old classmate, he has always been polite and personable since today's contact. But people know their faces but don't know their hearts, what if he has any bad intentions at night......
When I walked into the bedroom, I deliberately checked the door and found that it could be locked from the inside, and I was immediately relieved.
The three of them put down their luggage and washed up briefly, and the time came to Paris time at nine o'clock in the evening.
Dinner is eaten in the hotel, don't go out at night, the security abroad is actually quite poor, especially in Paris,
After a day of in-flight meals, you can enjoy a French meal.
French cuisine is known as the first of Western cuisine, and it is indeed worthy of its name. The characteristics of French cuisine are: a wide selection of ingredients (such as snail foie gras are delicious in French cuisine), fine processing, exquisite cooking, strong and light taste, and many varieties of colors.
Although the baked snail is famous, Wang Ye can't accept this kind of thing, so he asked the two girls, and they also shook their heads again and again.
But the foie gras has to be tasted, and if you don't eat foie gras, you can't say you're eating a French meal.
When it comes to French cuisine, I won't comment on the taste, but when it comes to the delicacy and tediousness of the dining process, it is definitely second to none.
The three of them sat at a table covered with a snow-white tablecloth, ironed without a single wrinkle, and at one end of the table was a delicate little vase with flowers.
On the cloth napkin in front of each person are delicate porcelain tableware, three sets of silver knives and forks per person, and crystal wine glasses are divided into large, medium and small sizes, lined up. Depending on the type of dish you eat, the waiter will pour you different types of alcohol at any time. Aperitif, dry red, dry white, will be paired with different wines when eating different meats.
Tang Doudou looked at the dazzling tableware and wine glasses in front of him, a little timid, and secretly asked Wang Ye: "With so many tableware, can you use them up?"
Wang Ye smiled and comforted her: "It's okay, foreigners don't use chopsticks when eating Chinese food." Just use a pair of knives and forks, we are here to eat, not to learn table manners. Besides, it's just the three of us here, and it's not a formal occasion, just casual. ”
After listening to Wang Ye's words, Tang Doudou breathed a sigh of relief, and Xue Yiyi also relaxed, in fact, she didn't understand, but she was embarrassed to ask.
The three of them sipped an aperitif and ate a small snack as they waited for the dishes to be served.
After a while, the head plate was delivered.
This is a vegetable and fruit salad, there is nothing to say, it is relatively healthy, boiled vegetables, and it is not delicious.
After eating the first plate, remove the plate, and the second course is served.
The second course of French cuisine is soup, which is more famous, and the French onion soup and French fish soup are recognized as delicious in the global culinary world.
Wang Yebang asked the two girls for clear soup, made of beef, chicken, fish or vegetables, etc., which will remove the fat in the raw materials during the cooking process, and the taste is very light, so it is called clear soup. It's a bit of a famous domestic dish "boiling water cabbage", of course, there is still a gap.
He himself wants a thick soup, which is made with flour, butter, egg yolk, cream, fresh milk, meat, vegetables and other ingredients, and the taste is relatively strong. This is a bit like Wang Ye's favorite red beet soup, which is more to his liking.
The third course is the side dish, which usually includes freshwater fish, marine fish, shellfish and soft animals. One of the more obvious characteristics of side dishes is that the color of the meat is white, so it is also called white meat, while the main dish is usually red meat.
The side dish is a French grilled scallop. On top of the clean white shells, scallop meat baked in butter is sprinkled with salt, black pepper and other seasonings. It tastes unique, and it is different from the charcoal-grilled scallops of domestic seafood stalls.
Finally, there is the main plate, which is the main meal - orange foie gras.
The so-called foie gras in many French restaurants is not actually foie gras, but duck livers instead. Because it is difficult to select foie gras materials that are really suitable for cooking, the breeding process is cruel. Many countries have banned breeding, and most restaurants can only use duck liver instead.
However, Wang Ye ordered pure foie gras today, since he wants to eat it, of course he can't eat counterfeit goods.
Cut into thick slices, the foie gras is marinated in spices and brandy for eight hours, then slow-roasted for about an hour, cooled and plated, and topped with orange juice, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, etc. It tastes soft and delicate, and it really lives up to its reputation.
The two girls were full of praise for eating, but if they knew the origin of the foie gras and the process of raising it, I am afraid they would not be able to eat it.
Of course, Wang Ye will not sell this knowledge on the dinner table, I have to say, sometimes ignorance is also a kind of happiness.
I ate several dishes, but the amount of each dish was very small, so I didn't feel very stretched. The whole meal took a full two hours, no wonder it was said that the French were loose and inefficient. It turns out that their time is wasted on eating.
When the meal was over, it was eleven o'clock in the evening, and the restaurant was about to close, so the three of them got up and went back to the upstairs room.
The hotel room is not too large, and it is impossible to have a separate bathroom in the natural bedroom, and three people share one. Wang Ye politely asked the two girls to wash up first, he sat on the sofa and took out his mobile phone to check the messages in QQ.
Seeing Nie Xiaoying's message saying that she had started school, she asked Wang Ye what she was busy with recently.
replied to her that she is now in Paris to participate in Fashion Week, and it is estimated that she will be busy for more than half a month before returning to China.
There is also a message from Meimei, her father's condition has stabilized, there are signs of sobriety, and the doctor said that he may come to his senses at any time.
Wang Ye was also happy for her, and finally got through this difficulty, and left a message asking her if the medical expenses were enough, and if it wasn't enough, he would transfer some to her.
After processing the messages one by one, the two girls also finished washing up and came out of the bathroom. Because there was a man named Wang Ye in the room, they were all wrapped in bathrobes when they came out, and they didn't dare to be too casual.
However, even if she was wrapped in a bathrobe, Xue Yiyi's graceful figure was difficult to hide. The slender white long legs loom under the bathrobe, which is reverie.
