Chapter Twenty-Eight: The First Date

Sun Fan had just arrived at the company and was about to go back to his office, when An Mengxin happened to come to him.

"Dinner together in the evening. An Mengxin said.

"Eat together? Oh, good, good. Slightly stunned, Sun Fan hurriedly agreed with a smile on his face. For the relationship, Sun Fan is actually still relatively immature, and the two should be in an ambiguous period, but they haven't even had a date. Sun Fan didn't take the initiative to mention it, this first date was actually mentioned by An Mengxin.

Sun Fan felt a little guilty, so he hurried back to the office, planning to book a restaurant first. It just so happened that Sun Fan knew that there was a very nice couple restaurant on Huating Street, and the owner heard that it was a Michelin-starred chef. So Sun Fan hurriedly searched the Internet and found the phone number of this restaurant.

"Welcome to Xingyue Xuan, how can I help you?" the phone rang, and a nice female voice came from inside.

"Hello, bring friends over for dinner in the evening, do you still have a place over there?" Sun Fan said.

"Wait a minute, I'll check. "The other side back.

After waiting for less than a minute, the voice came back on the phone: "Hello, sir." Now there is no place in the hall anymore, but there is still a couple's seat, and the gentleman who ordered the meal before happened to cancel it today. ”

Sun Fan didn't think about it and said, "Just this position, help me keep it." ”

"Uh, sir, please wait a minute. We also need to tell you that our couple's meals are handmade by our chef. Customers are not allowed to order food, and all items are at the discretion of the chef. In addition, the minimum consumption for couples is 3,666 yuan, and the specific amount is determined according to the price of the dishes on the day. Are you sure you need to order a meal, sir?" said a sweet voice on the phone.

Sun Fan frowned slightly, although he had never been to a restaurant that was too high-end before. But for him now, he still doesn't care about this money. It's just that Sun Fan feels that it is a bit unreasonable that he can't order food independently. After all, what if An Mengxin doesn't like to eat the dishes made by the chef?

After thinking about it, Sun Fan asked, "Can I order my own food?"

"Sorry sir, not really. The other man continued. Although he spoke very politely, Sun Fan could also feel that this rule should really not be broken.

So Sun Fan, who didn't know much about other restaurants, had no other choice, so he had to nod and say, "Okay, then you can keep it for me, and we will go over in the evening." ”

"Yes, sir. Have a nice evening!"

After booking the restaurant, Sun Fan returned to his villa, ready to find clothes that could be worn, but unfortunately he rummaged through the clothes in the empty wardroom, and did not find suitable clothes, all of which were bargains that he had not sold in his Taobao store before, not to mention thousands of good clothes, not even a piece of clothing that exceeded 50 yuan. Sun Fan, who has never cared about what he wears, wants to cry a little at this moment. In the end, there was no way, Sun Fan could only find a plaid shirt to put on, and a pair of jeans on the lower body.

But it's strange to say, it's only May now, and the temperature in Hecheng is less than 10 degrees, Sun Fan only wears a single shirt, but he doesn't feel cold at all. Compared with the relatively bloated people on the street, Sun Fan's outfit still looks good and looks very energetic. Just put on a plaid shirt, it looks a little childish, Sun Fan doesn't know if An Mengxin will be angry when she sees it, after all, An Mengxin herself is very concerned about the age gap between the two.

At half past five in the evening, Sun Fan went to An Mengxin's office to look for her. It's just that she still has things to do at hand, so Sun Fan can only find a random place to sit down and wait for An Mengxin to finish her work. The wait was more than an hour, and it wasn't until 6:40 p.m. that An Mengxin stretched and finished the day's work. At this moment, Sun Fan, a classmate, had fallen asleep on the desk, and he was on the table.

An Mengxin looked at Sun Fan, who was sleeping peacefully, and smiled a little lovingly in her eyes. took a napkin and gently helped Sun Fan wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth.

"Hmm...... Ha ......" snorted, Sun Fan slowly opened his eyes and saw An Mengxin wiping his saliva. Sun Fan raised his head and quickly wiped his mouth, only to feel that his palm was still a little wet. With an embarrassed smile: "Mengxin, you're done!" Let's go, let's go to dinner now, I've already booked the restaurant." ”

An Mengxin smiled slightly and nodded obediently. followed Sun Fan downstairs. It's just that Sun Fan, who was walking in front, didn't notice that An Mengxin quietly sent a text message on her mobile phone. The text message was about canceling a restaurant order.

The two walked downstairs, and since there was no transportation, they could only walk to the intersection and wait for the bus. Luckily, the building is in the center of the city, and there are plenty of taxis, and they quickly stopped a car.

It took less than 5 minutes for the two to come to Xingyue Xuan, and the fare was only 5 yuan. Sun Fan shook his head and sighed at the low price in 07.

When I came to the door of Xingyue Xuan, I saw at least a dozen couples waiting for a meal outside the restaurant. Fortunately, Sun Fan had already booked the position in advance.

"Hello, welcome to Xingyue Xuan, do you have an appointment?" asked the beautiful welcome lady who bent down and saluted.

Sun Fan nodded.

"Okay, please give your mobile phone number. I'll look it up. The welcome lady said.

Sun Fan reported his number, and the welcome lady quickly checked the appointment information. Seeing that it was a couple of customers, she was even more polite. Hurriedly took the two of them to the second floor of the restaurant and sat down.

On the way up, Sun Fan noticed. The first floor of the entire restaurant should belong to the hall area, and the second floor is the couple's seating area, the entire second floor is not small, but there are only less than 10 tables. Each seat is far apart and beautifully decorated, and although it is called a seat, it is very private. In the middle of the second floor, there is an open kitchen, where a chef in a black chef's uniform and his two assistants are busy.

At this moment, the head chef is holding a beautifully carved kitchen knife, and the rhythm of "da-......" is clearly and quickly cutting the ingredients in his hands. The sound of the knife is not abrupt in the beautiful and pleasant music, but harmoniously blends with the environment, so that people can't help but leave saliva just by listening to the sound.

"Monsieur and Madam, today's main course is: Bordeaux anel eel, foie gras, Saint-Jacques scallops, mustard crepes, and dessert: roasted Camembert cheese. Suggested wine pairing: Bordeaux dry red or Sancerle white wine. The two sat down, and after the waiter served two glasses of lemonade, a waiter with a delicate menu smiled at them.

Sun Fan was slightly speechless, and when he came up, he directly told himself what to eat tonight. An Mengxin saw that Sun Fan hadn't spoken yet, so she looked at Sun Fan with a smile and didn't speak.

Sun Fan thought for a while and said, "That is, we can't choose the dishes, but we can choose the drinks at will, right?"

"Yes, sir. The waiter smiled.

"Then what wine do you suggest we choose?" Sun Fan was very clear about beer, but he really didn't understand these red wines at all, so he asked modestly.

"Sir, I suggest you choose Bordeaux Dry Red, which is best served with today's dinner. The chef had opened a bottle of wine in advance, and had been awake for an hour and forty minutes, and another 20 minutes was the best time to taste it. Your main course will be served just in time. The waiter suggested professionally.

Sun Fan didn't know anything about decanting wine at all, but considering that it might take another two hours to sober up with other wines, he said helplessly: "Then let's have a bottle of Bordeaux dry red." After thinking about it, he said, "Get me another bottle of Sprite." ”

"Sprite?" the waiter muttered, but immediately came to his senses and said, "Yes, sir." After saying that, he retreated.

Since dinner hadn't come up yet, after ordering wine, Sun Fan and An Mengxin chatted happily and warmly.

As for the waitress beauty, after receiving Sun Fan's order, she hurriedly came to the first floor to find the manager of this restaurant.

"Manager, the customer in the couple seat upstairs ordered the Bordeaux dry red that the chef had opened in advance. The waiter said a little worriedly. Although she showed excellent quality when she received her, she couldn't help but be a little worried when Sun Fan really ordered the wine. After all, Sun Fan's clothes are a little too ordinary, and the bottle of Bordeaux dry red costs more than 20,000 yuan.

After seeing the waiter's expression, the manager asked about the specific situation and hurriedly went up to the second floor. When the manager saw Sun Fan and An Mengxin, his heart was slightly relaxed. He still has the eyes to look at people, although Sun Fan is dressed ordinary, but the overall temperament is very good. As for An Mengxin, although she is wearing a professional outfit, she can't pretend to have that noble temperament. This is also the temperament that An Mengxin quickly developed with the growth of sailers.

However, the manager couldn't help but be slightly worried and hesitated. He walked quickly to the open kitchen in the middle. I would like to ask the opinion of the chef and the owner of the restaurant.

He whispered a few words in the chef's ear, and then the chef glanced at Sun Fan and them. I said something to the manager again, and the manager nodded and left, and then there was no situation where they came to Sun Fan in advance to settle the bill.

In fact, An Mengxin had already noticed that the manager had gone upstairs to look at them, and even Sun Fan saw the eyes of the chef after that. Sun Fan didn't think much about it, but the shrewd An Mengxin had already guessed the whole story. But in the end, they didn't look for it, and An Mengxin didn't pay attention to it anymore. But she did remember this matter silently.

The dinner afterwards was a pleasure, and the chef of the restaurant was a Michelin-starred chef, and the dishes were very delicious. The only pity is that the amount is too small, which may be enough for An Mengxin, but it is too small for Sun Fan. As for the bottle of Sprite that Sun Fan ordered, it was not used in the end, because Sun Fan found that this red wine was still very delicious after taking a sip of the dry red Bordeaux that he had woken up. During this period, the chef personally came up to ask if the taste of the dish was suitable and what suggestions he had for it. and personally toasted Sun Fan and An Mengxin with a glass of wine.

After the meal, Sun Fan was wiping his mouth, and the waiter girl who was in charge of ordering came up with a list. He smiled and said, "Hello, is the meal quite enjoyable?"

Sun Fan and An Mengxin nodded, smiling and saying they were very happy.

So the girl took out the list and gave it to Sun Fan and said, "Sir, the total consumption this time is 26,000 yuan, do you pay cash or credit card?"

"How much?" Sun Fan couldn't help but raise his voice.

The waitress girl still said with that professional smile: "26,000 yuan, of which Bordeaux dry red is 21,999 yuan, dinner is 4,999 yuan, and the manager has removed 998 yuan of change for you, which is exactly 26,000 yuan." ”

"I also removed the 998 yuan change, 998 yuan is change?" Sun Fan couldn't help but mutter. There was a slight pain in my heart.

Hearing Sun Fan's muttering, the girl's heart suddenly tightened. Thankfully, what she feared didn't happen. Sun Fan still took out his bank card very happily.

After checking out, the manager himself walked over, still holding a delicate card and a bottle of wine.

Bowing slightly, the manager said: "Happy dining for the two of you, this is a little gift from our store to the two of you, please smile." ”

Sun Fan took the gift from the manager and said suspiciously, "This is?"

"Oh, this is a little gift from our store, this bottle of white dry wine is also from Bordeaux, the market price is about 2999 yuan, no two people drank Bordeaux top dry red before. In addition, this platinum membership card is given to customers who spend more than 20,000 yuan at a time, with this card, you don't need to make a reservation in advance for dinner on the second floor of the store, and you can get a 9% discount. The manager said.

Sun Fan smiled slightly, smiled and accepted the gift. I thought silently in my heart: I earned back 2,999 yuan.
