Chapter 667: Based's Cafeteria (Part I)

After Paul made the arrangements, everyone put away their luggage, took a shower, changed their clothes, and prepared to experience the bustle of Paris at night.

"Wow, Shan Da Beauty, this dress is good!" Seeing Shan Jian walking out of the room, Lin Xiao couldn't help but light up and praised.

Shan Jian, who usually only wears sportswear and chef clothes, changed into a full-length black evening dress this time, which reflects the skin like snow, and with a tall figure and beautiful appearance, it looks like a blooming mandala flower in the light.

"Is it really pretty? I've been buying this dress for a long time, and I've never had a chance to wear it. Hearing Lin Xiao's praise, Shan Jian showed a shy expression.

"Believe in my vision, the return rate is guaranteed to be above 90%. Lin Xiao swore solemnly.

"That's natural, Master Shan Jian has always been responsible for our appearance upstairs. Liu Mang straightened the bow tie on his shirt and said with a smile.

The suit on his body was bought for him by Li Ruonan the last time he went to the United States. Although he rarely goes to a Western restaurant to eat, Liu Mang still knows some etiquette, and formal attendance is a basic respect for the chef and the restaurant, which is the same as eating in a high-end Chinese restaurant, you can't put your feet on the chair.

"I haven't bought a suit, is this suit?" He Donglin asked after changing into a white tunic suit.

"Of course, the tunic and cheongsam are the formal wear of our country, and the national leaders wear them. ”

Everyone took the elevator out of the hotel, and at the entrance of the hotel, an elongated Lincoln was waiting, and several doormen in crisp suits respectfully pulled the car door.

"This car is also included in the room rate?" Shan Jian pulled up the skirt of her evening dress and walked into the carriage.

"That is, hundreds of thousands of dollars a night are not spent in vain. Lin Xiao smiled.

"The service of the hotel is not bad. He Donglin said happily.

"If you have money, you are the master, and wherever you put it is an eternal truth. Lin Xiao pulled the car's own wine cabinet, took out a few goblets from it, opened a bottle of champagne, and poured it for everyone: "Let's drink some aperitifs first." ”

After a glass of champagne and a small talk in the spacious carriage, the car stopped at the Boulevard de la Rifali in Paris.

"Ladies and gentlemen, our destination has arrived. Paul, who was sitting in the front, pressed the button on the car, and the baffle between the cab and the car slowly fell.

"Okay, let's get out of the car. Liu Mang pushed the car door and walked down first.

At the foot of the house is a small alley four or five meters wide, hidden behind a tall building, the floor of the alley is paved with cobblestones, and the top is polished smoothly, which seems to be very old.

"This is Aaron Basard's restaurant?" Lin Xiao said in surprise as he looked at the restaurant in front of him.

Aaron Basard's restaurant is not very large, with a narrow door at the entrance with a colorful neon sign on the door, which feels like a grocery store in China in the 80s and 90s.

"Yes, sir. Aaron Basad inherited his father's shop, which has been open for three generations and almost 200 years. Paul replied.

"Brother Lin, in China, there are many really good restaurants hidden in the market, and it seems that France should be similar. Liu Mang has a lot of feelings for this Basad shop, because it reminds him of his hermit's shop.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the spot has been booked, and the driver and I will be waiting for you in the car. Paul bent down in a gesture of please.

"Thanks, Paul. ”

"Sir, this is what I should do. ”

Guided by an attendant in a white vest, Liu Mang and the others stepped up a staircase made of logs. The staircase is covered with a scarlet carpet, and the walls on both sides are hung with oil paintings of various styles.

Lin Xiao, who was walking at the back, looked at the past with a pair of paintings: "Tsk...... This Basad is really not inconspicuous. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Look at this. Lin Xiao pointed to the signature under one of the paintings: "Marcel Reis, one of the most famous contemporary French painters, is known as the living Gauguin, the neorealist closest to Pop Art." His paintings are full of tension and imagination, and he is good at using a large number of colors and rhythmic brushstrokes to show the splendor of life. ”

"Master Lin Xiao, you know a lot. Seeing Lin Xiao shaking his head and commenting on the matter, his always simple and simple eyes couldn't help but show a hint of admiration.

"Heck, it's just a hobby, just a hobby. Lin Xiao scratched his head and said with a smile.

"Really?" Liu Mang walked down two steps, approached the painting Lin Xiao said, looked at it carefully for a while, and finally said: "To be honest, I really can't appreciate it." Could it be that my artistic literacy is too low, and I haven't reached that level yet?"

The painting in front of me is colorful, there are no people or objects at all, only red, black, yellow and other colors are painted with various distorted lines, like a child's graffiti.

"I'll be honest with you. Lin Xiao put his mouth to Liu Mang's ear: "Actually, only ghosts can understand, I just said all that!"

"You! I almost got tricked by you again. Liu Mang couldn't cry or laugh.

"What was deceived?" Shan Jian looked dazed.

"Uh...... Brother Lin, he ......"

Liu Mang was about to answer, but was interrupted by Lin Xiao: "Old Liu, save me some face in front of beautiful women." ”

"Well, I think it's a really good painting. Liu Mang touched his nose and said stupidly.

"Haha. ”

Walking up the stairs, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and upstairs was a bright hall, which was thousands of square meters in size. However, there are not many tables for people to eat in the spacious hall, only about a dozen, and the rest of the space is filled with statues of various people and animals. At first glance, it looks like an art gallery instead of a restaurant.

"Lao Liu, you're right, people can't look good, and the same is true for restaurants. Lin Xiao looked at the restaurant, and heard melodious music in his ears, and a small band was playing the famous "French Time" on the stage on the side of the hall.

"Guys, this way, please. The attendant welcomed Liu Mang and them to a table by the window in the dining room.

After sitting down and looking around, Shan Jian secretly stuck out his tongue: "Fortunately, I didn't wear sportswear today, otherwise it would make people laugh." ”

The men and women who came to eat in the restaurant were all well-dressed and gentlemanly, and the conversation during the meal was also very quiet, for fear of disturbing others, and there was no atmosphere of people in a domestic Chinese restaurant at all.

"Brother Lin, you know French, so let's do it. Taking the menu from the attendant, Liu Mang glanced up and handed it to Lin Xiao.

"Okay, then I'll do it. Lin Xiao licked his lips and opened the menu: "French cuisine is nothing more than three treasures, foie gras, snails and oysters." Let's get it together today. ”

"Whatever you want, you're in charge. ”

"That's good. Lin Xiao greeted the attendant and muttered a lot of names in French.

"Poof!" After Lin Xiao finished reporting the name of the dish, Shan Jian covered his mouth and snickered.

"What's wrong?" Liu Mang, who was sitting next to her, said in surprise.

"Chef, don't you think French is interesting? It's like spitting. ”

"That's a bit of a thing. Everyone laughed.
