Chapter 243: Tan Family's Official Mansion Cuisine
Zheng Xudong shook hands with Liu Yifei's mother Liu Xiaoli before carefully looking at the woman in front of her, Liu Xiaoli was born in fifty-nine years and is fifty-one years old this year, but from the appearance of it, she is not forty years old at most, and her skin is abnormally fair, it seems that Liu Yifei has inherited the characteristics of her mother's white skin. The long maroon shawl hair was just a little longer than that of her daughter Yifei, her round eyes were very bright, there was a small mouth under the straight nose bridge, and her thin lips were coated with a faint layer of almost invisible lipstick.
She wore a white gold necklace around her thin neck, and the pendant of the necklace was a cute little pig, and it seemed that she belonged to a pig. She wore a coffee-colored half-sleeved knee-length skirt with snow-white calves exposed underneath, and a pair of blue sandals with heels six or seven centimeters high at her feet. The toenails were painted with dark blue nail polish. The overall outfit looks stable and generous.
Today's Liu Yifei is much more youthful and beautiful, wearing a Cartier red hairpin on her black shawl hair, a light makeup on her face, a layer of colorless lip gloss on her lips, wearing the Cartier black pearl necklace they ordered in New York around her neck, a Cartier red watch on her left wrist, and a Chanel white pearl bracelet on her right wrist. LIKE HER MOTHER, SHE WORE A LIGHT GREEN HERMΓS PLEATED KNEE-LENGTH DRESS, AND A PAIR OF JIMMY CHOO'S WHITE LEATHER TEXTILE HEELED SANDALS.
He went to the back door of the Rolls-Royce and pulled the door, "Please!" and said with his hand making a please.
Liu Yifei's mother consciously came to the driver's back seat and opened the door and sat in, Liu Yifei pouted and said to him: "Villain, you sit in the middle, and I sit on the side." β
Zheng Xudong said with a smile: "My dear, this is the new four-seater version of the Rolls-Royce, only two people can sit in the back, go in, don't let your mother wait." β
"Oh!" she bent down and sat in the car, and when she got in, she found that in the middle of the two seats was a leather armrest nearly 30 centimeters wide, and at the front of the armrest was a center console with electronic knobs to adjust the volume of multimedia and the temperature of the air conditioner. Looking at the interior decoration again, the apricot yellow interior gives a warm feeling, and the carpet is also very soft to step on. She and her mother looked at each other, and they could see in each other's eyes that this car was very new and expensive!
Liu Xiaoli scolded her daughter Liu Yifei, meaning "ask." β
Liu Yifei understood when he saw it, and then asked Zheng Xudong in the front row: "Villain, when did you buy this car?"
Zheng Xudong had already thought that she would ask this question, and he already had the answer in his heart, "Yifei, this car was bought in the United States, and I only picked it up last night, and I will take it out today to pick you up and my aunt, or I will be worried about what car to drive to pick you up!"
"How much does this car cost?" asked Liu Yifei.
"Eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars. In China, I paid a fee of 50,000 yuan. Zheng Xudong said. "By the way, Yifei, Aunt Liu, let me introduce you to my newly hired driver, Tang Luoyong. A native of Gan Province, a veteran. β
Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli greeted each other with Tang Luoyong respectively, and then Tang Luoyong stopped talking and continued to drive.
"Adong, can I call you that the same as Yifei?" asked Liu Xiaoli.
"Of course you can, you can call me Adong in the future. Zheng Xudong replied.
"Ah Dong, have you been to this Tan family's official restaurant that we are going to at noon before?" asked Liu Xiaoli.
"Auntie, I really haven't been to this house. Just by hearing about it, you know it's very high-end, and the price is very expensive!" he replied.
"You're right, this restaurant is indeed not cheap, I used to eat Tan official dishes in Kyoto with Yifei's father, and it was very painful to eat in our time, it seems that you are going to break the bill today." β
"It's okay, Aunt Liu, we met for the first time today, and we will become a family in the future, we don't have to be so polite. β
Liu Xiaoli was very satisfied with Zheng Xudong's attitude, "It seems that I am going to use my daughter's face to rub your meal today." She said jokingly.
"Auntie, we specially invited you to eat today, how can you say that you are rubbing rice, right, Yifei. Zheng Xudong hurriedly stated his position, if he didn't answer well, he would lose points from Yifei's mother.
"Hmph, you can talk about it!" Liu Yifei said with a smile on his lips.
"Alright, you two, don't act in front of me. Liu Xiaoli scratched her daughter's face with her fingers, and then continued: "Let me introduce you two to this Tan official cuisine, which only opened in Kyoto before 2002, and only successfully landed in SH Beach in early 2002, when the restaurant was known as "SH No. 1 Expensive" restaurant, and its cuisine was praised by discerning SH diners and the media as "China's ninth most expensive cuisine... β
Soon the car came to the outside of Tan's official restaurant located at No. 580 Nanjing West Road, the magic capital, the waiter saw a black Rolls-Royce come to the door of the hotel and hurriedly stepped forward to wait for the car to stop and gently opened the back door, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli got out of the car from behind, Zheng Xudong told Tang Luoyong that he would go out to eat, and he would call him after eating, Tang Luoyong said, "Got it, boss." Then I saw Zheng Xudong carry a paper bag from the car, get out of the car and drive away.
Liu Yifei held Zheng Xudong, and Liu Xiaoli stood beside her daughter and walked towards the Tan family's official cuisine. After entering, the waiter asked, "Sir, do you have a reservation?"
"Yes, I called in the morning and booked our private room here, please go and confirm. Zheng Xudong said.
"Okay, wait a minute. After speaking, he looked at the order record in his hand. "You are Mr. Zheng, and the phone number is 139XXXXXXXX. β
"Yes, I am. β
"Okay, please come with me. As he spoke, the waiter led the way in front of him.
Zheng Xudong saw that the entrance of Tan's official restaurant was a three-storey antique building door, and after entering, there was a magnificent individual guest hall, a small and elegant royal garden, and a skillful painted corridor, all of which were tailor-made by famous teachers at a glance, with a very typical Ming and Qing architectural style. All the wooden ware is made of mahogany, the antiques are full of shelves, the bonsai is exquisite, the four walls are all famous calligraphy and paintings, and the utensils and costumes are even more beautiful, showing the official (king) mansion style and royal style. Its taste, its connotation, its gorgeousness, and its delicacy are all rare in the magic capital catering market.
The private room area they booked was winding and secluded, and was named after the famous gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, such as the Humble Administrator's Garden, the Yellow Crane Tower, and the Guyi Garden. The name of the private room they ordered today is called "Yueyang Building", and the private room is made of mahogany from the baseboards, wainscoting, top corners, door covers, window grilles, round tables, and square chairs, and the four walls are hung with famous calligraphy and paintings; golden napkins and plates, apricot-yellow edging plates, apricot-yellow tablecloths, plus a waitress in an apricot yellow top and elegant Chinese classical songs, a feeling of being in the palace arises spontaneously.
Liu Yifei's mother sighed: "I haven't come to eat Tan's official cuisine for almost 20 years, and it seems that I am still so rich and generous." β
Although it was a private room for six to eight people, the three of them did not sit separately, they sat together, Liu Yifei sat in the middle, and Zheng Xudong and Liu Xiaoli sat on both sides.
The waiter handed the menu to Zheng Xudong and asked him to order, Zheng Xudong took the menu and asked the beautiful waitress: "Do you have any special dishes here?"
The waiter stood behind him and said, "Sir, our signature dishes here are Buddha jumping over the wall, Guanfu Yipin wings, Guanfu braised Australian abalone, blueberry yam, bird's nest bird's nest, clear soup bird's nest... The waiter said more than ten kinds of signature dishes of Tan's cuisine in one breath, but Zheng Xudong heard a question, "I heard you say more than ten kinds of dishes, why do you have this kind of bird's nest, abalone, and wing-based dishes?"
At this time, I heard Liu Xiaoli say: "Adong, I can explain to you this question, Tan's cuisine is mainly "good at dry goods", "good at cooking Haibazhen in broth", and the cooking method is mainly burning, stewing, simmering, leaning, and steaming, which is also the uniqueness of its dishes that distinguish them from other private dishes. β
Zheng Xudong then understood, it turned out that people are specialized in doing this, he took the menu and ordered the clear soup lion's head, the village chief of fish and rice, the golden rice roasted sea cucumber, milk soup bayu, Shanghai-style smoked fish, and the four beauties of Beijing...
"Adong, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat these if you order these!" Liu Xiaoli looked at him, Zheng Xudong ordered these and said without stopping.
"Mom, don't worry about him, he eats a lot of food, I'm afraid it's not enough for him to eat. Liu Yifei explained beside him.
"Yes, Auntie, I'm growing up, so I'm eating more. Zheng Xudong also said with some embarrassment.
"Alas, how can any parent be afraid that their children will be able to eat? Our generation thinks that being able to eat is a blessing! Eating too much proves that the body is strong, and this is a good thing. Liu Xiaoli said happily.
Zheng Xudong handed the menu back to the service staff, "Just order these first." Then asked Liu Yifei's mother and Liu Yifei, "Auntie, what kind of drinks do you and Yifei drink?"
Liu Xiaoli glanced at her daughter, Liu Yifei tilted her head and thought about it and said, "Adong, in fact, I still want to drink red wine." My mom wants to drink liquor. β
Liu Xiaoli also said: "Yes, you should drink some liquor to eat these seafood products." β
Zheng Xudong glanced at the waiter, and the waiter hurriedly said: "Two ladies, the liquor we have here is Moutai and Wuliangye, which are basically the liquor of the year, and there are also a few bottles of vintage liquor. For example, Moutai in 2005 and Wuliangye in 2000. We have more than a dozen kinds of red wine, all on the menu, I don't know if there is one you are satisfied with. β
Liu Yifei took a look at the menu, but didn't find the red wine he was willing to drink, pouted and said, "Otherwise, my mother and I will drink white wine." β
Zheng Xudong saw her reluctant look and said, "No, you wait!" After speaking, he walked towards the paper bag he brought on the cabinet at the door.
