Looking at the three friends who were shocked and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, Lu Li said with a smile, "So, are you ready? We're finally going to try a Michelin-starred restaurant." www.biquge.info Actually, I was going to book a three-Michelin triumph, but it was too late to book, and I thought that I was already bankrupt in order to pay the inheritance tax, so it's good here. ”

The playful self-teasing made all three of them laugh heartily, but then they realized that their movements were too loud, and all three of them closed their mouths and controlled their voices. In fact, the truth is that Lu Li agreed too late, only two weeks in advance, there is really not much choice, and "in the flowers" is indeed their dream all along.

"Quick, quick, it's not good to extort fourteen sums now, I think he will squander the inheritance next month, and there will be no chance then. Fred said with a disgusted expression, and took the initiative to invite Marianne to go, this proposal was supported by the two girls, Marianne raised her chin proudly, and made a queen's gesture, "Where's the red carpet?

Looking at the backs of Fred and Marianne advancing, Lu Li turned his head to look at Alice and stretched out his right hand in a friendly manner, "Miss, I don't know if I have the honor to invite you into the restaurant?"

A playful smile appeared at the corner of Alice's mouth, pulled up the hem of her skirt, and squatted slightly, "My honor." Then he put his left hand in the palm of Lu Li's right hand, and then grabbed Lu Li's right arm and walked towards the door.

Fred and Marianne were stopped at the door, and after Lu Li stepped forward, after reporting his mobile phone number and surname, and after the duty manager confirmed, he called the ushers and led them into the famous "In the Flowers".

"Fourteen, your surname is Lu?" said Marianne curiously, "I know it for the first time. ”

"So what do you think my surname is?" Lu Li asked rhetorically, and Marianne was stunned for a moment, and gave a whimsical answer, "Uh...... Eleven?" caused the other three to laugh, but Marianne argued, "Who knows, if he can have a name of fourteen, why can't he be called Eleven?"

"You know what? In fact, my last name in Chinese actually means 'six'. Lu Li replied, and now Fred and Alice both showed surprised looks, and Marianne couldn't help but shake her head triumphantly, with an expression of "I'm amazing, right, praise me", but unfortunately, no one appreciated.

Alice asked, "But, isn't the Chinese six, not 'six'?" Alice accurately pronounced the Chinese sound, and it could be seen that her Chinese was still keeping up.

Lu Li had to explain the difference and origin between simplified and traditional Chinese in Chinese, in fact, it is somewhat similar to ancient English and modern English, and finally Lu Li simply borrowed a pen from the waiter and wrote the ten numbers in simplified and traditional Chinese, which suddenly became much more intuitive.

"Wow, although I can't read Shakespeare's sonnets, Chinese looks like alien. Fred marveled that most of Shakespeare's writings were written in Old English, especially sonnets, which were prohibitively difficult.

"Didn't you study art? I thought Shakespeare was a part of it. Lu Li asked rhetorically.

Without waiting for Fred to answer, Marianne turned her head and showed surprise, "You study art? Me too, I'm a ballet major." ”

"I'm a music major, and I also study photography. Fred couldn't help but get excited, it was too much of a coincidence.

Looking at the two like-minded people in front of her, Alice turned her head with a mocking expression, "Don't tell me, it's just a coincidence." ”

Lu Li felt very innocent and raised his hands, "It's really a coincidence." There were other reasons for inviting Fred and Marianne, and Lu Li didn't expect that the two people's majors would have something in common.

But Alice was visibly unconvinced, and then nodded, "Well, I trust you." Obviously, he gave a positive answer, but there was something in that sentence that really made Lu Li feel aggrieved, and he felt that he was really wronged, "Do you think I look like Cupid?"

Alice looked at Lu Li seriously, about three seconds later, and then said solemnly, "Like." ”

Lu Li raised the white square scarf on the table to indicate surrender, which caused Alice to laugh.

"Ladies and gentlemen, may I ask what you would like to drink to-night?" asked the waiter, smiling, politely approaching.

All three of them looked at Lu Li, the waiter originally looked at Fred - after Fred dressed up, it looked really convincing, not to mention, Lu Li is an Asian face, this kind of differential treatment of small details cannot be regarded as discrimination, it can only be regarded as cultural habits, Lu Li has long been used to it. But at this time, the waiter also followed his gaze and looked at Lu Li.

"Please give us an aperitif first, do you have any recommendations for tonight?" Lu Li's knowledge of alcohol was very limited, and the knowledge he had learned was only on paper, so he chose the wisest and safest method - asking the waiter.

"Now there's Paromino's sherry, which is a bit sweeter and perfect for late spring evenings, and it's a great choice for ladies. The waiter smiled and made an introduction.

"No problem, then Shirley's Bar. Lu Li closed the wine list, "Also, give us a bottle of champagne." ”

The three of Fred were a little commotioned when they heard this, but because the waiter was nearby, they held back. The waiter asked again, "Is Moët & Chanden okay?"

"No problem. Lu Li closed the wine list and handed it to the waiter, who took the four wine lists, then bent down and saluted, and then retreated.

In a top restaurant, a thick wine list is even more than a menu. It looks like it can already be used as a killing weapon, and the layman will definitely get drowsy after watching it.

"Fourteen!" said Fred, in a low voice, "are you crazy?" Champagne?"

Marianne also whispered, "I just glanced at the price, I don't know if it's eighty dollars or a hundred dollars, wait, am I looking at the price of a cup or the price of a bottle?"

"I just looked, a normal glass of wine here costs twenty-five dollars!" Alice was also worried.

Lu Li looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help laughing, the three of them were leaning against the edge of the table, speaking in a low voice like a spy, that look was really funny, he also did the same, leaned his chest against the table, and whispered, "Why do we all have to talk like thieves?" As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was furious, all three of them rolled their eyes in unison, and Lu Li sat up straight again, "The price of champagne is not as expensive as you think, the bottle I ordered just now is eighty dollars, don't worry." ”

For the sake of the future winery, Lu Li consulted a lot of information and knew a lot of knowledge on paper, but the actual operation was lackluster.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, a bottle of champagne was eighty, and the four of them averaged it, and the price was not so unacceptable. "But what is that paromino? I know the sherry, but this is the first time I've heard of it. Alice asked curiously.

Fred understands this, "It's a small town in the Andalusian region of Spain, where sherry is produced, and the taste is sweet and light. "These are also the basic information you need to know when working in an olive garden. The average consumption in the olive garden is relatively low, but the basic liquor is provided.

"I think it's time for us to start looking at the menu. Lu Li suggested, "If we keep struggling with the price here, I think we will eat late tonight." ”

The four of them then looked down and browsed the menu. As expected, the chef's recommended menu, which includes an appetizer, main course and a soup, costs $99 for just three courses, and a staggering $135 for a four-course chef's tasting menu.

"If you have a curious meal, just order it, don't order all the set meals, it looks really weird!" Lu Li knew that they must all have one idea in their heads, and sure enough, after he finished saying this, the three of them raised their heads and looked at Lu Li with an embarrassed expression, the meaning was self-evident, Lu Li smiled dumbly, "Everyone orders the set meal, it is obviously four young people who have never seen the world have come to see each other, and I don't think there is any difference between the gossip of the waiter and the olive garden." ”

Fred was the first to understand what Lu Li meant, and laughed in a low voice, "Since you said so, then I'm welcome." I saw the little lambs and I wanted to try it. ”

Lambs are a common ingredient in Italian cuisine, and there are similar dishes in the Olive Garden, but the taste is indescribable. Fred clearly wanted to get a taste of what a fine dining restaurant would like.

"Don't you want to try the steak here?" Lu Li knew Fred, who had an obsession with beef - like most Americans, they preferred beef to lamb.

"Among the Flowers" is so famous because it combines the cuisine of Italy's Mediterranean coast and draws on the flavors of France's Riviera, which is also located on the Mediterranean coast, to create its own style. Although Italian cuisine is highly regarded all over the world, there are very few purely Italian restaurants that can be awarded Michelin, and this restaurant is also a specialty. In addition to pasta cooked with seafood, steak is also a must.

Lu Li had just seen that the most expensive dish on the menu was a 36-ounce steak, marinated in Bordeaux red wine, and the finest beef loin was $125 - almost as much as the price of a set meal. Of course, there are other different steak options beyond that, and the price is much more normal.

Fred struggled a little, but finally shook his head, he still couldn't do it. The price of a dish, they have to work hard for most of the night. It is worth mentioning that the price of "Among the Flowers" is very affordable, and among the Michelin stars, it is relatively inexpensive.

Lu Li looked at Fred's tangled expression and chuckled, "That's fine, you order lamb, then I'll order steak." ”
