Chapter 13: Dick. Silk look at the menu
If someone asks about any landmark buildings in Shonan City, everyone will immediately answer that the 67-storey Hongjinmen Hotel, located in the bustling business district of the river, will be the first to answer.
The cylindrical hotel is topped by an oval sphere that looks like the king's scepter from a distance.
However, Li Ming knew for the first time that this oval-shaped sphere turned out to be a revolving restaurant.
Exercising on Jiangbian Avenue, looking at this big hotel from a distance, Li Ming couldn't help but be excited in his heart.
Thinking about eating in such a big hotel, did Li Ming dare to think about it?
Can't.
You know, such a big hotel, even if it is an ordinary dinner, it will cost thousands of yuan.
Spend two months of Li Ming's salary to come here for a meal?
No kidding, a fool would do such a thing.
But now, is it a matter for Li Ming to come here to eat?
Not counted.
With millions of Li Ming in his pocket, let alone coming here to eat today, even if he orders all the most expensive dishes in the hotel, he can eat every day.
Thinking that he could enter and leave a hotel of this level at will from now on, enjoying the respectful hospitality of the waiters and the adoring eyes of the beauties, Li Ming was full of excitement.
Turned her head to look at Xu Qing, and found that the little girl was still looking at the food in the magazine expectantly, thinking that Xu Qing didn't know what this hotel looked like, Li Ming wanted to surprise her.
Quickly drove the car to the downstairs of Hongjinmen International Hotel, Li Ming said to Xu Qing with a smile: "Sister, we are here." β
Looking at the 67-storey high-rise and splendid hotel in front of him in surprise, Xu Qing, who is not a local, did not expect that the so-called revolving restaurant was actually in this 67-storey hotel.
Not to mention how well it is eaten, just by seeing this building, Xu Qing knows that eating here must be very expensive.
Grab Li Ming, who was about to get out of the car.
The little girl said apologetically: "Brother Li Ming~, let's change places, it looks so expensive here." β
knew that Xu Qing would say this, looking at Xu Qing's ashamed little appearance, Li Ming affectionately scratched Xu Qing's little nose, and pretended to be domineering: "Brother has a treat, don't refuse." β
After speaking, Li Ming got out of the car and came to the co-pilot.
The little girl likes Li Ming's macho appearance, and this kind of Li Ming makes Xu Qing feel extra secure.
Watching Li Ming personally open the car door for himself, Xu Qing's heart was pounding like a deer.
Although her little face was already flushed with shyness, Xu Qing looked at Li Ming bravely and meekly put her little hand on Li Ming's big hand.
Walking into a five-star hotel for the first time, looking at the palatial hotel lobby, Xu Qing was still a little scared.
Holding Li Ming's arm tightly with both hands, he whispered in Li Ming's ear: "Brother Li Ming~, it's so big here." β
Not only Xu Qing is afraid, but so is Li Ming, but as a man, especially a rich man, Li Ming is more excited and excited in his heart, in Li Ming's opinion, this is the life that a man should have.
Feeling the little girl's pounding little heart, Li Ming gave the little girl a reassuring look, and then said in Xu Qing's ear: "Don't be afraid, there is a brother." β
I don't know why, hearing Li Ming's words, Xu Qing was really not afraid, looking at Li Ming's indifferent expression, Xu Qing admired Li Ming even more.
whispered: "Brother, you are so powerful." β
Li Ming smiled: "What is this?" β
Under the guidance of the waiter, the two went to the revolving restaurant on the top floor together.
Finding a place to sit by the window, a waiter came to the two with a smile on his face.
"You two need something."
took the menu, but Li Ming didn't open it, but handed it to Xu Qing, and said proudly: "Sister, just order." β
Xu Qing already felt luxurious enough when she came here to eat, where was she willing to order, she shook her head vigorously, and her little head shook like a rattle.
Unable to shirk it, Li Ming took back the menu.
Seeing Xu Qing looking at himself with his hands on the table with a small face adoring, Li Ming said with a smile: "Then my brother ordered it." β
Li Ming had already thought about it, he must order a bunch of delicious food today, so that the little girl could eat to her heart's content, but when she opened the menu, Li Ming was stunned.
Butter baguette, what is this thing?
Tiramisu, what is this?
Macarons, brownies, haggis, Cobb Salad, English Chaffle, Li Ming thought with black lines in his head, whether these are the names of dishes or people.
French muffins, Buffalo spicy chicken wings, pan-fried foie gras, lava cake These things literally Li Ming knew what they were, but Li Ming didn't know if they were delicious or not.
Li Ming knew about pork burgers and fish and chips, but it was too embarrassing to come to a revolving restaurant and eat KFC.
was beaten back in one second, and Li Ming was full of helplessness.
I had the heart to ask the waiter, but when I thought about it, I couldn't ask, if I asked one or two dishes alone, it would be okay, if I took the menu and asked the waiter what they were made of, I wouldn't be ridiculed by the waiter.
Li Ming didn't want to be treated as a bun, so he pretended to turn the page and think about countermeasures.
As soon as I looked up, I happened to see Xu Qing on the opposite side with her little face in her hands and a cute expression.
Li Ming thought to himself, let's ask my sister for help, my sister is so kind, she won't laugh at me.
Afraid that the waiter would see his embarrassment, Li Ming pretended to move the stool to Xu Qing's side.
whispered in Xu Qing's ear: "Sister, help my brother take a look, what are the things on it, and why are the names stranger than the other." β
Xu Qing was curious, why was his brother's expression so rich when he looked at the menu.
Hearing Li Ming's words, Xu Qing looked at the menu and immediately understood the reason.
The names of the dishes on the menu of Western restaurants are directly translated according to the pronunciation, and the so-called macaron is a homonym of the French word macaron, which means finely grated, referring to a type of almond biscuit that originated in Italy.
Xu Qing was about to tell Li Ming the meaning of this word, but when she saw Li Ming pretending to read the menu in a serious way, she didn't know why, Xu Qing suddenly felt that Brother Li Ming was so funny.
The little hand covered his mouth and "poof" and was happy.
Seeing the little girl laughing at herself, Li Ming was stupid, she was so angry in her heart, girl, where is your kindness, where is your cuteness, how can you laugh at my brother like this.
looked at Xu Qing with a puffed face, thinking that the little girl would tell herself after laughing enough, but who knew that this little girl naughtily lay in Li Ming's ear and said, "Brother, I don't know what is written on it." β
Li Ming was speechless.
"Then what are you laughing at?"
"I don't know, I just think it's funny."
After speaking, Xu Qing couldn't help it, lying on the table and having fun, I don't know why, Xu Qing just wanted to see her brother's embarrassed appearance.
Looking at the little girl snickering on the side, Li Ming thought to himself: You dead girl, sincerely look at my brother's jokes, right?
deliberately "hummed" in Xu Qing's ear, Li Ming said: "Little girl, do you think you can do it like this?" Looking at the little girl's delicate little earlobes, Li Ming really wanted to bite it.
Clearing his throat and leaning on the backrest, Li Ming pretended to be a successful person.
While pretending to look through the menu, he said to the waiter, "Tell me about your specialties." β
The waiter had already received instructions from the lobby manager downstairs, and knew that the two people sitting in front of him were driving Bentleys, so he immediately reported the most popular dishes in the store.
Li Ming didn't care about anything else, anyway, listening to the waiter report the name of the dish was like listening to the book from heaven, and he didn't know what the waiter said, so he ordered everything recommended by the waiter.
At the same time, Li Ming was also looking for it on the menu, although some dishes on the menu did not know what they were, but Li Ming understood the price behind the menu.
Suddenly, I saw a dish labeled $4500.
He said to the waiter, "Give me a copy of this." β
Seeing the dish Li Ming pointed out, the waiter's eyes lit up, and he said confirmatively: "Sir, do you want a caviar of Iranian white sturgeon?" β
Li Ming nodded.
Seeing another thing marked with $3,000, Li Ming said, "I want a copy of this too." β
The waiter reconfirmed: "Do you want a 92-year-old ChΓ’teau Lafite?" β
Li Ming nodded.
Xu Qing didn't understand the white sturgeon caviar, but Rafi Xu Qing was like thunder, and Xu Qing, who was snickering on the side, hurriedly wanted to stop Li Ming.
"Li Ming......"
Before the word "brother~" in the back was spoken, Xu Qing found that his little hand had been grasped by Li Ming's big hand, and under his shyness, he couldn't say a word in the back words.
After the waiter left, Xu Qing said shyly: "Brother Li Ming~, the things you ordered today must be so expensive, why are you so wasteful." β
For Li Ming, spending money on Xu Qing is such a thing as expensive and wasteful?
No, whatever Xu Qing wants, as long as Li Ming can do it, he will buy it for her, and he scratched the little girl's nose affectionately, Li Ming said: "Silly girl, my brother has money now." β
"That can't be like that." Xu Qing still disagreed.
Looking at Xu Qing's anxious little appearance, Li Ming hugged Xu Qing in his arms with a big hand, and said sincerely: "Sister, no matter how expensive this meal is, can it be as expensive as your friendship with your brother, if it weren't for you in the past two years, my brother would have been unable to hold on, you are so good to your brother, why can't you let your brother be good to you now." β
As an orphan, Li Ming has never been so good to him, Xu Qing is the first person to really care for him, in Li Ming's heart, he has long decided that Xu Qing is his most important person, the person he wants to care for with his life.
Listening to Li Ming's sincere words, Xu Qing blushed and said, "Brother~, how can I be as good as you say." β
Li Ming knew that Xu Qing no longer objected.
Feeling the thin body of the little girl in his arms, Li Ming said distressedly: "I know that I care about others, and I don't care about myself, look at how thin you have become, eat more today." β
The little girl nodded shyly in Li Ming's arms.
