Paris. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In a certain alley of a certain street, this alley is not as dirty as in movies or TV shows, but a bit like some ancient alleys in China, with some small shops and supermarkets opening intermittently on both sides. And the restaurant where Lin Xi wants to take Kim Tae-yeon to eat is at the end of this alley. There, a somewhat shabby-looking sign from the outside reads the name of the restaurant.

The name is also very interesting, it is called 'Old John's Restaurant', when Lin Xi first saw the name of this restaurant. I also laughed, how is this the same style as some people in my hometown who use their own names as store names. It was precisely because of this sense of familiarity that Lin Xi would go inside to eat, and then knew that there was this hidden delicacy here.

"Is this the place?" When Lin Xi brought Kim Taeyeon to the door of this restaurant, Kim Taeyeon also looked up at the recruitment and asked with some curiosity.

Nodding, after seeing through the glass that those were all old man's figures, Lin Xi also laughed, "Well, let's go, let's go in." The taste here is pretty good. It's a bit like some home-cooked meals, but with its own restaurant, so you can try it later. Compare it with what you ate last night and see which one is better. ”

"Okay, if it doesn't taste good, I'll bite you. Kim Taeyeon didn't hesitate, and walked in directly with Lin Xi, but he still temporarily threatened him, which made Lin Xi laugh a little.

Pushing open the glass door, the two slowly walked inside. Although the weather was not very cold anymore, the heating was still floating in the restaurant, so as soon as the two of them entered, they felt a warm rise from their bodies. And Kim Taeyeon, who was the first to walk in, was a little anxious at this time, after all, it was the first time she came here, so how did she know what to do next.

Fortunately, there was Lin Xi, and after feeling her doubts, he took her little hand and walked directly to the water bar on the beveled side of the restaurant. Inside and outside the water bar, there were customers and waiters standing or sitting. Seeing them laughing and chatting, eating and drinking some drinks in the restaurant, there is no need to ask if they are all old customers.

And Lin Xi didn't hesitate before and after he walked up, and smiled directly at a waiter in the bar, "Hey, help me call Old John." ”

Although the waiter didn't know why Lin Xi wanted to do this, he still nodded. Putting down the wine glass he was wiping, he turned and walked into a small door next to the bar. After a while, a white-bearded old man in a chef's uniform walked out of it, shouting in a loud voice as he came out, "Mark, who called me, the people here are all old guests, you don't know them." ”

"Boss, I really don't know this. The waiter who was called Mark was not timid, and teased in the face of his boss's questioning.

Lin Xi also laughed at this time, and shouted at the old man, "Hey, John, long time no see." ”

was shouted by Lin Xi like this, and the white-bearded old man who had already walked out, that is, the old John of the owner of this restaurant, also saw Lin Xi at this time. After frowning slightly, he quickly laughed again, and laughed a few times, "Haha, I said who Mark didn't know, it turned out to be you bastard." Say, why did you come here again, didn't you say you went back?"

"There's no way, the big boss of the headquarters is summoned, and we minions have to come over again. Faced with this problem, Lin Xi briefly explained. Then he looked around, and when he saw a booth by the window not far in front of him, he pointed there and said, "I'm going to sit there and serve me a few of your specialty dishes." Also, I brought my girlfriend with me this time. Don't embarrass me, John, or I won't pay. ”

"Go ahead, go ahead, you don't have to worry about this. After listening to Lin Xi's words, Old John also responded with a laugh. followed by Mark's reception of Lin Xi and the two, and he ran back to the kitchen to continue to be busy.

And Mark, the young waiter, took Lin Xi to sit in that position very competently, and then asked what he wanted to eat as usual. When Kim Taeyeon heard this question, she turned her attention to Lin Xi, how did she know what to eat here. As for Lin Xi, he waved his hand, "Mark, I don't need to order food, I just told John." When Mark heard this, he thought of the conversation just now, and then nodded his head as well, intending to turn and leave. It's just that at this time, Lin Xi stopped him again, and said with a smile, "You don't need to eat, but you still need to drink." Mark, you can help me with a bottle of John's own wine, I want last year's vintage. ”

Hearing this, Mark finally knew why Lin Xi and John were so familiar. There are many people who can make their own wines in this restaurant, but there are very few who know which wines are the best. But once you know, it is estimated that they are all drinking friends who have a good relationship with their boss. Because in addition to liking to cook, Old John has only one hobby, and that is drinking. It was precisely with this hobby, as well as some things learned from Lin Jun and at the cocktail party, that Lin Xi was able to have such a good relationship with him in Paris for more than half a month.

As Mark brought the wine, Lin Xi also happened to explain his matter with Old John to Kim Taeyeon.

"This story is really like a movie, isn't it true that some Western and European movie plots have such a situation?" When watching Lin Xi open the wine bottle, Kim Taeyeon also looked at her boyfriend with a look of adoration. Although this story is a simple story in every way, after being imprinted in Kim Taeyeon's eyes, it becomes like a movie plot, which makes her very addicted to it.

"Think too much, just like the old lady at the roadside stall you met in Seoul Taeyeon, I'm just old John I know here. It's all the same, but the characters are different in time and place. After opening the wine and slowly pouring half a glass for herself and the little one in front of her, Lin Xi answered the question she had just asked.

When Lin Xi said this, Kim Taeyeon also pouted all of a sudden, and she was a little angry. Looking at this little one, Lin Xi also laughed, and reached out to pinch the cute little nose, but was dodged by Kim Taeyeon's wrinkled nose.

"What's wrong, you're angry?" Seeing this, Lin Xi put away his smile and looked at Kim Taeyeon with some concern.

"Hmph, you can just say yes. It was originally a beautiful fantasy, but it was punctured by you like this, and you said that you should not be angry. With a cold snort, Kim Taeyeon looked at Lin Xi very arrogantly, with a look of indignation.

Hands raised, the action that had not been done for a long time was used by Lin Xi again this time, and then he put on a pitiful look, "Well, I know." I was wrong, my beautiful Taeyeon will forgive me, and I will apologize to you for this meal. ”

"Hmph, if you want to be beautiful, if it doesn't taste good, then you're really guilty. Seeing Lin Xi like this, Kim Taeyeon was also amused. But as soon as he laughed, he took it back again, pretending to look at Lin Xi with a cold and arrogant look, with a proud face.

"Uh-huh, you know, you won't be disappointed. Before that, drink some wine to quench the fire, don't be so angry, it's not good to be angry. Lin Xi was also willing to play this game with Kim Tae-yeon, and with a smile he pushed the wine he had just poured in front of her, and continued to smile, "This wine is the one I just told you, Old John himself has been the most successful in making it for so long." ”

Looking at the glass of wine in front of him, although it was a little far away, Kim Taeyeon still smelled a little bit of wine, not bitter and choking, but a little sour. So she raised her glass and looked at the wine in the glass, "Is it really delicious?"

"I can't say it's delicious, but it's not the same as the wineries I drank with you before. Just like I brought you to this store now, the taste is not the same as the taste of a star restaurant. It's the same thing with this wine. After speaking, Lin Xi continued, "Because you haven't sobered up yet, Taeyeon you want to drink it or shake it, I'm afraid it won't taste good, and you will drink it a little rush." ”

Kim Taeyeon obediently shook it with Lin Xi a few times, and only took a sip of the wine after a while. And Lin Xi, who was on the other side, also showed a smile after watching her drink it, as if waiting for Kim Taeyeon's reaction.

After drinking the sip of wine, Kim Taeyeon pursed her lips and felt it for a while, then looked at Lin Xi and said her thoughts with a smile, "It seems to feel pretty good, although it doesn't taste as good as the director's wine, but it doesn't seem to be very bad, it's two feelings." Well, I personally like the taste, although it smells a little sour, but it tastes sweet with grapes. ”

"Because you're a child, you like to drink sweet, and you eat sweet. I'm really afraid that when you get old, what will happen to your teeth. After listening to Kim Taeyeon's thoughts, Lin Xi also said this with a very doting but uncompetitive smile.

"Hee-hee. After being told by Lin Xi, Kim Taeyeon also laughed very shyly, and then pretended to be cute again, "Lin Xi, can you wait for us to leave and bring a few bottles of this wine from this restaurant." I want to take it home and drink it, and give it to Pani as a gift. The taste of this wine is also very good to our taste. ”

"Okay, I'll ask Old John later, I don't think there's a problem. Without hesitation, Lin Xi directly nodded and agreed. Even if this old John refuses to make more moves, he can still deduct some points from him, and Lin Xi has this confidence at this time.

Then the two no longer discussed this issue, but discussed where to rest and where to play after eating. It wasn't until Mark came up with his lunch that the two ended the conversation and looked at the dishes in Mark's hand. After a few times in a row, the table in front of Lin Xi could be regarded as their lunch.

"Eat it, try it. Looking at the delicacies in front of him, Lin Xi didn't make the first move, but looked at Kim Taeyeon opposite and smiled softly.

Kim Taeyeon nodded and tried the bowl of soup with a spoon. With Kim Taeyeon moving, this lunch has finally begun. Maybe it's because there is no work and no pressure, this lunch Lin Xi and Kim Taeyeon ate for more than an hour. By the time Mark had cleaned up the things on the table and left, and had served them a dessert after dinner, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon when the two of them walked in.

However, this kind of lunch time seems to be just right for some people in Paris. Because Westerners rarely have such a thing as lunch, they pay more attention to dinner, because that is the time for them to enjoy after work. In general, lunch is connected with afternoon tea, so an hour or two of meal time is not surprising.

"Is it delicious?" Eating the dessert that Mark brought up, Lin Xi only ate two bites, and then he was a little greasy, and then he was snatched by Kim Taeyeon and ate two portions by himself. Looking at such a cute little one, Lin Xi also asked with a smile.

"Well, it's sweet, it's delicious. Eating dessert, Kim Taeyeon replied with a squint of joy and a smile.

"What about the lunch just now, and how about the seafood last night. Lin Xi, who took a sip of lemonade, continued to ask.

This time, Kim Taeyeon just stopped the food in front of her and hesitated. As if comparing the taste of last night's seafood dinner, he blinked a few times before he spoke, "I like it here." There was no long speech, and Kim Taeyeon directly gave her opinion.

"It's because some of the dishes here suit your taste, Old John just likes sweet tastes, and at first glance it suits your child's taste. Of course, Lin Xi understood Kim Taeyeon's thoughts, otherwise how could he take Kim Taeyeon to come here for lunch today after almost half an hour's drive from the center of Paris. It's because I know my girlfriend's childish taste that I brought her here.

After being seen through by Lin Xi, Kim Taeyeon was ashamed again, followed by anger, and glanced at the past, "Then you still ask me, I really want to bite you." ”

"Haha. After receiving Kim Taeyeon's eyes, Lin Xi also laughed happily. Then the two of them continued to sit and rest for a while, and then Lin Xi got up and walked to the bar and chatted with Old John, who was already busy. Finally, when Lin Xi and Kim Taeyeon left the restaurant, they already had an extra case of wine in their arms, and they were followed by Mark, a young man, who was also holding two boxes in his hands.

And old John, who was sitting at the bar of the restaurant, watched the delivery of these wines, and his eyes also showed a trace of distress and reluctance. However, thinking of the return gift that Lin Xi had just given him, it turned into expectation again, and he laughed. (To be continued.) )
