Originally, Lu Li was just a little curious about the origin of the ring space. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After all, the puppet is not guilty, but he is guilty. If someone else learns about the existence of the ring space, they don't know what the chain effect will be, but unexpectedly, the truth of the matter is really close at hand and within reach, which makes Lu Li inevitably a little excited.

"I want to invite you to appraise my painting and see if it was created by your grandfather, I wonder if you would like to?" Lu Li took the initiative to send out an invitation, "I have always been very curious about the story behind this painting, but I have never had a clue, I didn't expect that this trip in London accidentally found a clue." ”

"Then you don't thank me yet!" Anna's voice rang out loudly behind her.

Evelyn looked puzzled, looked at Lu Li, and then at Anna. Anna shrunk her neck like a mouse meeting a cat, showing a flattering smile, and Evelyn's pupils shrank slightly, "Anna, are you stealing your wallet again?"

"Hey, hey, hey. Anna quickly turned around and turned her back to Evelyn, shouting, "No, of course not." But the voice is obviously lacking in confidence, and anyone with a discerning eye can hear the cattiness.

Evelyn couldn't help but hold her forehead and smiled apologetically at Lu Li, "I'm really sorry." ”

Anna was right, and she was indeed thanking her. Otherwise, I wouldn't have walked into this secret bar. Lu Li said with a smile, "What's more, the wallet has been replaced, and I have nothing to lose." ”

That frank gesture made Evelyn laugh dumbly, and Anna's voice was already bubbling, "That's it!"

Evelyn glanced at Anna angrily, and then Anna suddenly died down again, bowing her head gloomily, and her whole back revealed an unspeakable grievance.

In stark contrast to the previous flamboyant and hot image, it really makes people laugh.

"Even if you don't say it, I want to make a request to see the original painting. I didn't expect it, but it was you who sent out the invitation first, thank you so much. Evelyn pulled the conversation back up, "I wonder if you'd like to share with me the story behind this painting." At that time, my grandfather went to China, but there was no news, and by the time the family received the news, he had already passed away. ”

Lu Li just wanted to open his mouth to agree, and then asked Evelyn's grandfather's story along the way, but before he could speak, Evelyn continued, "I made an appointment with a guest at four o'clock, and I must rush over now." I wonder if you're free tonight, or tomorrow?"

"I don't have a problem with my time. Lu Li left the decision to Evelyn.

"Then tonight. Evelyn didn't hesitate and made a neat decision, "Eight o'clock, how about the riverside restaurant?"

Although this was Lu Li's first visit to the UK, he had heard of the name of Riverside Restaurant, not because it was one of the four most famous Michelin-starred restaurants in the UK, but because it was founded by a pair of brothers who not only changed the situation of the entire British restaurant industry, but even influenced the eating habits of the British people.

In an interview in 2010, the brothers said, "Half of all Michelin-starred chefs in the UK come from our kitchens. "This is not an exaggeration, but a fact. Among them, Chef Gordon Ramsay, who opened up the situation in the world with "Hell's Kitchen", is also their disciple.

To sum it up, the Riverside Restaurant, one of the best restaurants in the UK, can cost around £300 or more for a dinner. In such a restaurant, it is impossible to have a seat without a reservation.

"Riverside restaurant, are you sure?" Lu Li didn't hide his surprise and said directly. Ninety-nine percent of them go there without seats.

Evelyn smiled and said, "If there are no seats, then let's have a picnic next to the river at the door." ”

After speaking, she didn't wait for Lu Li to answer, she turned around, and the big red skirt bloomed again, "Norman, Anna." After saying hello, he quickly left the bar.

Come in a hurry, go in a hurry. However, in just ten minutes, it left an extremely deep impression, as if the red skirt could still be captured in sight.

As soon as Evelyn left, Anna immediately became alive, turned around, and looked at Lu Li viciously, "Don't hit Evelyn's idea! She already has a boyfriend! And she is very affectionate!"

Lu Li couldn't help but nodded, and directly agreed, "Okay." ”

This answer was really too fast and too crisp, which made Anna stunned, but Lu Li's answer was fine, and for a while she didn't know what to do, so she could only clench her fists and wave vigorously in front of Lu Li's eyes, "I'm serious! Otherwise, next time, you won't lose your wallet!"

Lu Li gently retracted his jaw and waited for Anna's next step, but Anna had no follow-up, which made him chuckle, "Otherwise, it's my hand or my foot that will be lost." After that, shouldn't there be further threats?"

The teasing tone made Anna's eyes widen, "You!"

The other guests in the bar burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was so lively that Anna had no choice but to turn around in hatred and sulk at herself.

Lu Li drank the whiskey in his glass, thanked Norman for his hospitality, and then left the bar. Anna refused to have any form of communication with Lu Li, leaving only a back, and "watching" Lu Li to leave.

Back on the street, Lu Li was a little distracted, and the surrounding scene was still a little different from the classics in the bar. Raising his head and taking a serious look around, Lu Li still didn't see any signboards, not even the slightest sign could be found, it was completely like an ordinary house.

It's the kind of place that only a true London local can find. But if you can explore it, you will experience the most authentic London life.

To be honest, Lu Li does need to thank Anna.

Lu Li then returned to the hotel and found formal clothes in his suitcase - a three-Michelin-starred restaurant such as Riverside Restaurant, you must wear formal clothes to enter, and if you are wearing sneakers or jeans, the restaurant has the right to refuse to let guests enter, even if the guests have completed the reservation four months in advance.

There are really not many occasions for Lu Li to wear formal clothes, even when the "New York Observer" interviewed, he did not wear formal clothes. For journalists, unless they are financial reporters or attending a White House press conference, they rarely need to use formal clothes, especially for field reporters like Lu Li who are running outside, and casual clothes are their best companions, commonly known as "combat clothes".

Therefore, before leaving, Lu Li was a little hesitant, and the formal outfit really took up too much space. But after hesitating, he brought it anyway, after all, this is England, and they are going to France to taste fine wines, and possibly attend formal occasions.

I didn't expect that it was not used in France, but it was used in England.

Unlike Los Angeles and Texas, London is in a sense more similar to New York – public transportation is so well developed that it is more convenient for tourists to use public transportation or a taxi than to rent a car. Just looking for a parking space takes a lot of time and can be expensive.

So, Lu Li didn't rent a car in London. However, the riverside restaurant is not in the city of London, and Lu Li called a private car through the hotel, and slowly left the bustling and noisy city in the remaining sunset on the skyline.

The Riverside Restaurant is located in the small town of Bray near London, about a forty-five minute drive away.

The town is famous throughout the UK for being home to two three-Michelin-starred restaurants in just one street, and not only the British, but also many tourists come here just to taste the best of the best – foodies in every corner of the world.

Today is just an ordinary Wednesday, a normal working day, the town of Bray is very quiet, there is no roar of engines, there is no crowd surging, there is no bustling lights, the Thames River flows quietly in the night, simple wooden houses, restrained gray walls, dim street lamps, summer irritability and hustle and bustle have quietly precipitated, seems to disappear in the gurgling water, such a peaceful and peaceful rural scene, outlining a typical British style painting.

The Riverside Restaurant was founded by a pair of French brothers, Albert and Mike Lou, who came from a poor family, dropped out of school early to work and study in a bakery, and their biggest dream was to open their own bakery in the future.

The two brothers showed their culinary talent early, but in France, where they barely got ahead, an unexpected trip to England showed them the terrible state of the British restaurant industry, which can be called a gastronomic desert, so the two brothers decided to move to England and open a restaurant.

Unexpectedly, this decision turned out to be the two brothers' biggest names in the history of British food, with the elder brother owning a two-Michelin-starred restaurant in London and the younger brother owning a three-Michelin-starred restaurant by the river. Not only that, but they also opened many restaurants in various cities in the United Kingdom, and received numerous accolades, the elder brother was awarded the French Legion of Honor, and the younger brother was awarded the Order of the British Empire in 2002, and was personally awarded to him by the Duke of Edinburgh, Philip, the head of the British Empire.

It can be said that without these two brothers, the food situation in the UK would be even more terrible. It's absolutely unimaginable!

After winning three Michelin stars in 1985, Riverside has maintained this accolade to this day, making it the longest-standing restaurant outside of France.

For Lu Li, a foodie, the riverside restaurant is naturally very attractive, but it is too difficult to book, and if you don't book three or four months in advance, you can't find a place at all. When the trip to the UK was finalized, it was already too late, and Lu Li thought that he would miss it and could only wait for the next time.

Unexpectedly, but in another way, he finally came to the riverside restaurant.
