Chapter 10: Dating (1)
In the evening, the sky is already gray, and the lights on the tall buildings are lit one after another, like stars falling.
A red imitation brick structure building on Huaihai Middle Road is particularly eye-catching. This is a long-established French restaurant.
Red House Western Restaurant.
In Shangyuan, many people in the Red House learn to "hold a fork in the left hand and a knife in the right hand", and many people's first love also started here.
For example, Ailing loved to eat Western food in the Red House back then, and the well-known Peking Opera artist Mr. Lan Fang also visited, and finally named the "Red House".
Traditional Western dining tables, classic Western oil paintings, retro bar counters and lighting make people feel as if they have traveled back in time and returned to the upper side of that era.
The "Red Rose" hall on the third floor.
A slender and upright figure was concentrating on the beautiful scenery in front of him, he looked up at the shadow opposite, and his gaze fell vertically on the soft, smooth and flat basswood drawing board.
The tip of the pen is sometimes lightly hooked and sometimes slowly picked and sometimes meandered down, outlined in plain ink, perhaps it is inspired, and the pen is like flowing water...
After a few moments, put the pen away.
"Little fox, come and see. Wang Hao beckoned and laughed in a low voice.
The Red House Western Restaurant does not provide reservations for dining, and when the two of them arrived, the waiter apologized: it takes about 30 minutes to wait for the meal, and you can rest in the waiting area after ordering.
When asking him if he had any other instructions, Wang Hao saw Hu Xiaomi, who was sitting on the sofa, exuding a different and moving aura all over his body, which was fascinating. So he asked the waiter for a drawing board and a pencil, and wanted to record this beautiful moment through his own hands.
Fox Xiaomi stretched her waist lightly, got up, walked to his side upside down, looked over, and a pretty woman jumped on the paper, as if every pore exuded a beautiful girl's youthful vitality.
Suddenly, the heart is happy!
"Yo, okay, you. Yes, yes, there are three points of skill for this girl. ”
She patted Wang Hao's shoulder, with a teachable expression of relief.
Wang Hao rolled her eyes, the dead girl is really thick-skinned, I know that your painting skills are good, so you don't need to show off like this, but she smiled and said:
"That's a long way from you. ”
Fox Xiaomi glanced up at him, this product has a lot of advantages, and his heart is inexplicably beautiful.
At this time, the waiter led the two to the table.
After sitting down, she held the painting and looked at it for a while, and after a glance, she pointed to the lower right corner of the painting and said, "Write something?"
"Sign?"
"Damn, can you do it, such a big beauty is slim, are you embarrassed to sign your name!?
"Nice?" Wang Hao twisted his chin, what did he write about?
When I looked up, I saw her pair of big headlights,
It's so bright!
In an instant, the inspiration was like a urine collapse, and I felt a little wet.
Looking down, I only heard the rustle of the tip of the pen sliding across the paper, and it was done overnight.
"Give~"
Fox Xiaomi took the painting, lowered her head and looked at it, "Well, the words are good." Then he hummed:
"Long legs, white skin, big chest, waist and thin face like makeup!August 20, 2003, Wang Hao. ”
"Huh, big breasts!"
Looking down at her pair of big headlights that made her proud, she looked at the serious Wang Hao again, and then glanced at the painting that was originally very pleasing to the eye, at this time she only had one thought, that is, to tear it up immediately.
After thinking about it, I was reluctant!
Let's switch objects.
"Wang Hao! Fox Xiaomi shouted and said angrily.
"Ouch, wrong, wrong. Wang Hao begged for mercy while dodging the little fox's tearing.
During the frolic, the waiter walked to the table with an aperitif and hors d'autificides, pistachios, almonds, peanuts, and olives, and reminded the two of them.
The two of them restrained their emotions, and Wang Hao dragged a sentence in French, "I'm sorry." ”
The waiter was surprised, but his attitude was even more eager, and he replied in French with a smile: "It's okay, your aperitif." ”
A soft sound of "Woo"...
The waiter opened Georges' Versailles half-dry champagne and poured it on the two of them, and when they left, the little fox whispered, "Do you know French?"
"I can speak some simple everyday language, when I was in the United States, my neighbor was Canadian, and French is one of the official languages of Canada, so I learned a little from him. After speaking, he poked his head forward, covered his mouth, and whispered: "Drag two sentences of French, the restaurant knows that we know how to do it, so we don't dare to fool around." ”
As soon as Wang Hao explained, the noble son Fan just now collapsed in an instant, and Hu Xiaomi couldn't help laughing, her posture trembled, and she was so stirred by him, she felt that the sense of restraint that she had come to this kind of place for the first time was gone, and she was coquettish:
"What the hell..."
As Wang Hao expected, the service of the restaurant obviously felt that it had been raised to a higher level, and it was more formal.
French cuisine is the most prestigious dish in Western cuisine, there are many kinds of knives, forks and forks, and the tableware is also a dish and a change, cold dishes, hot dishes, after a while the temperature will be changed for you, and you will be removed without waiting for you to eat clean, and the next dish will be replaced.
After the aperitif, the waiter will serve the appetizers: cold salmon sour cream sauce, fruit salad, French onion soup, French oxtail soup, braised mandarin fish, salmon in red wine, pasta with shrimp with cream, baked snails with cheese, pasta with basil pine nuts;
French cuisine is served in a standardized manner, and like appetizers, it is served in the order of cold cuts, soups, seafood, and snacks.
Looking at a lot of sprinkled Yangyang, in fact, the amount is not large, to put it bluntly, it is to let you pad your stomach and "warm up" first, Wang Hao specially ordered two sets, and let the little fox taste them one by one.
The two of them chatted about the dishes one by one.
"Try this, don't underestimate this bowl of onion soup, this is a bowl of kung fu soup. The onion has to be stir-fried for more than ten hours, and there is no very rushing taste of the onion after the entrance, and it is fragrant. ”
To tell the truth, he had eaten this place in his previous life, but he rarely came to Shangyuan later, because the chef who has been cooking Western food for celebrities has retired when he is old, and his skills have not been passed on, and the dishes in the Red House are all made by some small apprentices, so it is not as good as now.
The little fox took a spoonful, put it in his mouth and sipped it, his eyes lit up: "Why don't you change them, you eat me." ”
After speaking, he was not polite, and directly pulled the onion soup in front of him, and pushed the oxtail soup to Wang Hao.
Wang Hao smiled and drank the oxtail soup in the bowl little by little, smashing it and smashing it.
"Drink soup, drink soup, blind biaji, it wasn't like this just now. ”
"It's said that beautiful women's mouths are like relish, I have to taste it. ”
"Bah, you, stinking and poor. ”
At this time, it evoked her memories, before going out in the evening, Wang Hao invited Sister Li to have dinner together, and Sister Li's words and eyes full of deep meaning made Hu Xiaomi ashamed.
"Hey, just kidding, why are you still shy? ”
"Alright, eat. ”
Wang Hao smiled, changed the topic, and told her about the historical allusions of the Red House Restaurant.
The little fox listened with relish, but interrupted him halfway, and his little eyes rolled with a hint of cunning light, and said:
"Wang Hao, how can I listen to you and feel like a person. ”
"Who?"
Wang Hao was puzzled.
"Fang Liwen, isn't there such a paragraph in the plot: Fang Liwen took Xiao Tao to eat Western food, and he also worked like this, which made Xiao Tao obsessed, and in the end, Xiao Tao paid the bill. You're not going to fool me like that, are you?"
Nima!
Wang Hao has a few skulls on his head, this can also be linked, girl, how big your brain is.
He wiped his face and said angrily: "After that, am I such a person? Such a righteous young man, what did you say?" ”
"Cut, you're not that kind of person, you specialize in that kind of thing, you fight so fiercely, you can't do such a promising career, study Western food, and paint. ”
"Eat your noodles! Tell you, I'm a pretty good cook." Wang Hao showed off.
"Then BJ, you give me something to eat. "What Hu Xiaomi said was extremely natural.
Wang Hao covered his face, am I too dirty, or is this society too pure, gritted his teeth, forced a smile, for fear that he couldn't help but spray, and said:
"Okay, I'll do it! I'll give it to you. ”
Fox Xiaomi heard that the voice was wrong, raised her head and glanced at him, and said angrily:
"You're sick, please let me eat it, and talk with your back molars!"
"Ahem!"
Wang Hao just took a sip and was choked directly.
"It's okay, they're all so adults, how can they still choke. Okay, after eating the noodles you made, I'll invite you to eat them. Stingy!"
This girl said a lot of things.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ahem. ”
Although Wang Hao likes her kind of horizontal, women have to be like this, and they must have a wild charm like a "thorn", but they still coughed non-stop, and even the waiter was led over, and greeted him with concern.
He waved his hand to indicate that he was okay.
At this time, the main dish was served, and the waiter cleaned up the knives, forks and plates of the appetizer, and then put on the tableware that matched the main dish selected by Wang Hao.
Wang Hao ordered the red wine filet mignon for Little Fox, while he himself served the restaurant's signature dish of thick steak with yellow and yellow mustard sauce.
The steak is medium-rare, with a regional pink visible interior and mixed with light gray and brown of cooked meat, and the whole steak has a well-balanced temperature and taste, and is paired with a German ice wine, the blue ice king Pfalz.
Icewine is a sweet wine. A wine made from grapes that are naturally frozen on the vines when the temperature is low.
Some people say that the birth of ice wine was a beautiful mistake. Two hundred years ago, in Germany, vineyards were hit by a sudden frost.
In order to save the loss, the winegrowers had to make a mistake by pressing the frozen grapes and fermenting them in the traditional way. Who knows, the willows and willows were unintentionally inserted, and the wine with a full body and unique flavor was brewed, which created the advent of ice wine.
Germany is the first country in the world to make icewine, and although up-and-coming Canada is currently the largest producer of icewine, the icewine laurels in the hearts of good drinkers still tend to favor Germany.
The price and distinctive blue bottle of the "Blue Ice King" from Germany's most famous appellation region are just as welcoming as its wine.
After listening to the meat jokes for a long time, Wang Hao intimately helped the little fox cut the steak diagonally into pieces, and fed her a piece of his own mustard steak, and said softly:
"You try this, mustard steak, it's also very popular here, I'm afraid you can't eat spicy, so I didn't give you an order.
Different from the traditional Western frying method, this steak in the red house is rolled out of the sauce, so the steak is particularly flavorful, and the yellow mustard is also very in line with the taste of the Chinese people.
Served with fried potato strips and seasonal vegetables, the mustard is fragrant and the meat is extremely tender and delicious, making it the most appetizing dish. ”
"Water, water, flush and spicy. ”
Fox Xiaomi's little hands kept fanning the wind around her mouth, as if this could relieve the spicy sensation in her mouth.
Wang Hao hurriedly summoned the waiter and asked for a glass of water for her.
"Goo-dong, goo-dong!" the girl drank very loudly.
"Why can't this restaurant even have water, but it still needs it. Hu Xiaomi took the meal paper handed by Wang Hao, twisted Qiong's nose lightly, and complained.
Wang Hao shrugged and said, "If you don't take the initiative to ask for water, the waiter won't take the initiative." ”
"Damn! you can't decorate less, what kind of shoulders are you shrugging, I know you're handsome, you can see it." ”
After a while, the little fox regained his strength, ate the steaks on the plate one by one with a fork, and said:
"It's still delicious with me, come on, ah~"
