。 ,!。 (Chapter 2)

Song Yanzhi didn't know what Tang Yan was thinking, although he was also a little strange about Tang Yan's sudden change of attitude, but when he thought of Tang Yan's strange behavior, he didn't think it was too strange.

She was still very happy, and she had been in Paris for two months, and although it was easy for young people to fit in, and her French skills were fine, no matter how proficient she was, she was not as pleasant as her mother tongue. And the strange pronunciation of French really makes Song Yanzhi dislike it very much, she is always worried that after she speaks French for a while longer, her throat will be bad, and there is really no language that has to cough like phlegm before every sentence.

I took Tang Yan to a pretty good restaurant, even in France, even on the most popular Cité Island in the center of Paris, this restaurant is quite high-end.

I have long heard that the food in this restaurant is delicious, but Song Yanzhi has never had a chance to try it. High-end restaurants, of course, mean that they are expensive, not to mention that their taste is quite outstanding.

Here, a meal for two people can cost thousands of euros, which is quite expensive even in Europe. If you order some good quality wine and add something else, two or three thousand euros will be spent casually.

But even so, the demand for seats here is still in short supply, and in order to ensure the quality of the food, it has its own rules, which is only served once per table per meal, and will never be like other restaurants, where customers leave and then turn over and continue to do business. After all, there are only so many fresh and high-quality ingredients.

If it weren't for the fact that the owner of this restaurant was an old friend of Song Yanzhi's grandfather, Song Yixuan, the former president of Jiangcheng University of Technology. If they come here like today, there must be no place. In Paris, no matter what the celebrity is, if you want to dine at this restaurant, you need to book a table at least three to five days in advance.

After Song Yanzhi came to Paris, the owner of this restaurant also invited her to taste the food in his restaurant many times, but Song Yanzhi felt that if she brought an ordinary friend, she would not be respectful enough. But if you go alone, it seems that in this kind of restaurant where everyone else is in pairs or even four people, it will seem too lonely.

Now that she finally has the opportunity to come, although Tang Yan is not even an ordinary friend, but in Song Yanzhi's opinion, Tang Yan should be a person of great taste (Nima, where did this strange idea come from?). Is it because Tang Yan is so good at painting? ）。 If you bring him, you shouldn't be ashamed of yourself. I have to say that Song Yanzhi will definitely pay the price for this kind of thought.

I called Song Yixuan's old friend in advance, and the old friend immediately happily asked Song Yan to come forward, and when I heard that she had a male companion, the old man said very urgently: "It seems that our little angel has finally found his lover!" Song Yanzhi blushed on the phone. It's not easy to explain anything in front of Tang Yan.

Because the tables were already fully booked, the old fellow named Henry had specially added a table to them, and placed it closest to the Seine, entirely at the expense of the dining space of the other guests.

When Tang Yan and Song Yanzhi entered the restaurant, everything was still normal. Even if you are led to the table by the waiter and sit down, drink water, look at the menu, or something. It's all normal, too. There was only a little accident when ordering, but it didn't hurt.

Looking at the menu full of French in his hand, Tang Yan complained in his heart, why doesn't Nima have a picture, why don't you get a few renderings to bluff people! These French letters, Tang Yan felt that they were no different from English, but together, Tang Yan did not recognize a limited number of words such as "Paris" and "Burgundy". In English, these words are all loanwords, and the spelling is basically the same as in French, otherwise Tang Yan would not have known them.

Song Yanzhi ordered his own meal very easily and skillfully, and when he saw that Tang Yan was still looking at the menu over and over again, he said in his heart that this guy is actually quite picky.

"The quality of the food here is top-notch in the whole of Europe, so you don't have to worry about it." Song Yanzhi reminded in a whisper.

Tang Yan heard that Song Yanzhi meant to make himself not so picky, he simply closed the menu, threw it directly on the table, and said to Song Yanzhi: "Actually, I don't know French, otherwise you can help me order!" Or just like you. ”

Song Yan was stunned, and then laughed: "Then you still pretend to watch it for a long time." ”

"Who knew they didn't even have pictures on the menu, I almost learned those big money and told the waiter to fry a copy!"

"Flip a copy?" Song Yanzhi didn't understand, but she reacted quickly and couldn't help laughing again, at this time, she had already begun to think that Tang Yan was quite interesting, at least, compared to her previous impression of Tang Yan, the current Tang Yan was much more interesting.

"Little angel! You've been here for so long, and you haven't come to me, is this your little lover? I'll take a look, well, it's not bad, it's healthy, it's also very manly, it's not like the lads in Paris now, all of them look like sissies. Old Henry's voice came from behind the waiter, Tang Yan turned his face to look and saw an old man with gray hair and beard, with a warm smile on his face, looking at himself.

Song Yanzhi's face immediately turned red when he heard this, fortunately Tang Yan didn't know French, otherwise he would lose his adult.

"Grandpa Henry, what nonsense are you talking about, he is just my alumnus in Jiangcheng, my grandfather likes him very much, saying that he is a genius who has not been seen in painting for a hundred years. I was also surprised to meet him in Paris, so I invited him here for dinner. ”

Old Henry didn't refute Song Yanzhi's words, in his opinion, Song Yanzhi's red face was shy, he and Song Yixuan had known Song Yixuan for so many years, studied and worked together, and had long understood the culture of the Republic, he knew that Orientals were more reserved and not as open as their French.

"It seems that you are really a genius to be able to praise your grandfather like this, and I will test him later." Old Henry said with a smile, then looked at the waiter standing by and asked, "Haven't they ordered any good food yet?" ”

"The lady has already ordered, the gentleman hasn't."

Old Henry nodded and asked Tang Yan in extremely stiff Chinese: "Young man, why don't you order yet?" ”

"So you know Chinese? Do you know that you were very rude and actually talked to her in French in front of me? I don't speak French, so I can't order! ”

Old Henry immediately burst out laughing, and he began to think that Tang Yan was very funny, as is the case with the French, who often have a good or bad impression of a person with a single sentence.

"Then why don't I call the shots for you?" Old Henry continued to speak in stiff Chinese.

Tang Yan nodded: "This is your restaurant, you must know best what is delicious." I can tell you, old man, if the food is not good, I will only ask you. ”

Seeing that Tang Yan said very politely, Song Yanzhi frowned and complained a little anxiously: "Tang Yan, don't be like this, Grandpa Henry is a very good friend of my grandfather." ”

Old Henry laughed: "It's okay, it's okay, I like this kid, he speaks differently than you Orientals, it's very direct, I like this kind of communication." ”

Immediately old Henry whispered a few words to the waiter, and the waiter nodded and left, obviously already helping Tang Yan order a good dish.

"The little angel is here, and I will give you a very good bottle of red wine, which is from my own winery, and I brew it myself." With that, old Henry left, and soon came back with a bottle of red wine in his hand, beckoned a waiter to come and open it and pour it into the decanter, and said, "The time should be just right, and the wine should be ready when the food is served." ”

"Grandpa Henry, sit with us for a while!" Song Yanzhi sent out an invitation.

But old Henry didn't sit down, but looked at Tang Yan and said, "I heard that you are very talented in painting?" ”

Tang Yan glanced at Old Henry and said, "What is genius?" ”

Old Henry was slightly stunned, and Tang Yan continued: "There are many geniuses in the Academy of Fine Arts every year, but how many people can become real masters? I've never considered myself a genius, so I'm just a little bit of talent. However, with this little talent, it is enough to defeat you mortals! ”

Song Yanzhi saw that Tang Yan's words were becoming more and more unreasonable, and hurriedly said: "Tang Yan, don't talk nonsense, Henry is a very famous painter, you don't want to get an axe." ”

Maybe it's because Tang Yan and Song Yanzhi are both very fast, and Old Henry's Chinese level can't reach such a level, so he roughly understands a little bit and knows that Tang Yan is very proud, but he doesn't know what the conversation between them says.

"Little angel, what did he just say?" After Song Yanzhi finished speaking, Tang Yan showed a disapproving expression on his face, old Henry could naturally see it, he knew that it was useless to ask Tang Yan, and Tang Yan couldn't speak French, so he went to ask Song Yanzhi again.

Song Yanzhi was helpless, and he didn't want to deceive old Henry, so he translated it as it was, and old Henry smiled when he heard it: "He is very sharp, and geniuses are like this." Did you just tell him that I was a painter? ”

Song Yanzhi nodded, and Old Henry said directly in French: "Little angel, you help me translate it for him." Song Yanzhi nodded again, and old Henry continued: "The genius I am talking about is not the kind of guy who becomes famous as a teenager, I also believe in my old friend, Song Yixuan is also the same as me, since he said that you are a genius, I believe that you will definitely have something that makes him quite amazing." If you don't mind, after eating, I would like to invite you to my studio to sit down, and I also want to see your genius from the East, what makes Song admire you so much! ”

After listening to Song Yanzhi's translation, Tang Yan said without thinking: "You don't need to go to the studio, I can let you see it here!" ”
