Finnelu Charles
Finillo Western Restaurant is the highest and largest western restaurant in Nikko City. The restaurant covers an area of about 1,600 square meters and has three floors, each with a different style of decoration. The first floor is luxuriously modernized, with slightly dim lighting, which sets off the style of the place, the second floor is decorated in the European medieval style, and sitting here is like traveling back in time to Europe hundreds of years ago, and the third floor is a futuristic ultra-sci-fi theme decoration, with maglev tables and chairs scattered one by one, holographic projection menus placed on the table for guests to order, and even the waiters are using robots.
After the three of them entered the restaurant, they went straight to find a vacant seat on the first floor and sat down, a blonde waiter came forward with a tray and bowed slightly, and whispered to Lei Ningxue: "Hello, this beautiful lady, welcome to the restaurant, what do you need to order?"
"Hello, please bring me a foie gras, a cup of borscht, a vegetable platter, and a sirloin steak, which will be 7 medium rare, and I will ask for these. Lei Ningxue clicked it, and added after ordering: "By the way, please get me a tomato sauce again, thank you!"
At the same time as Lei Ningxue finished ordering, the waiter also finished recording and said, "Okay lady." After speaking, he asked Mo Li and the others, "May I ask what do you need?"
Seeing the waiter culture, Duan Yu scratched his head, looked at Mo Li and said, "Big brother, I don't understand these foreign things, just help me order." ”
Mo Li didn't see anything, and ordered: "Please serve us six ribeye steaks, two medium-rare and four medium-rare, with some black pepper." ”
"Yes, sir. Do you need a drink?" asked the waiter again.
Hearing this question, the others didn't speak, but Duan Yu couldn't wait, and hurriedly said: "Hold two boxes of snowflakes for me first, and I want to step on the box with my eldest brother to drink!"
"I'm sorry, sir, we're in a Western restaurant, we don't have any drinks you ordered, do you need anything else?" the waiter replied politely.
Duan Yu heard the waiter say that there were no snowflakes, and he didn't force it, but touched his chin and said, "No, then you can get us a box of Moutai, I like to drink that, it's exciting!"
"I'm very sorry, sir, we don't have Moutai here. The waiter still replied politely, but his face changed slightly.
"Moutai doesn't have it, then let's have two pots. Duan Yu said with some dissatisfaction, and muttered to himself after speaking: "What else do you say about the best restaurant, what do you want!"
The corner of the waiter's mouth twitched, and he said, "Hehe, Mr. is really joking, if you don't need drinks, I'll order you first." ”
Duan Yu wanted to say something, but Lei Ningxue's face couldn't hold back, and her eyes motioned for Duan Yu not to speak, and she clicked herself: "That's it, you help us open two bottles of 09-year-old Lafei and wake up first." ”
The waiter glanced at Lei Ningxue with a little gratitude, and responded, "Okay, kind lady, I'll go and place an order for you." ”
While waiting for the meal, a piano in the center of the restaurant played a beautiful piano music. Anyone who knows a little bit of music can hear that this is Beethoven's "Baga Taylor in A minor", which is also the famous "To Alice".
The beautiful piano sound did not attract Mo Li and the others, but caused Duan Yu's dissatisfaction, and he muttered: "What kind of thing, someone makes noise when you eat!"
Although he was chattering by himself, Duan Yu's voice was not very small, and the guests at several tables around him could hear it clearly, pointing at Duan Yu, and saying to the people who were dining with him, "Hey, husband, look at this person, he is really uneducated." "He himself is not as good as others, and he also said that others don't play well, which is really shameless. ”。
The discussion of the surrounding tables gradually aroused the curiosity of the entire restaurant, and after everyone's "exchange", the entire restaurant knew that Duan Yu said that people were not playing well. Then there were a few bold people who encouraged Duan Yu to go up and let him play one.
The young man in a suit who was playing the piano stopped playing the piano, stood up with his hand on the hem of his clothes, and said to Duan Yu: "As everyone appealed, this gentleman said that I don't play well, so I also want to see what it is like to play well, and I ask Mr. to give me advice." ”
Where does Duan Yu know what kind of piano, he has to look at Mo Li and Lei Ningxue with a plea of help. Where has Lei Ningxue been pointed at by so many people? Suddenly buried her head in her chest in shame, as if she had never seen anyone in her life.
Seeing this, Mo Li shook his head helplessly, stood up and bowed slightly: "I'm sorry, everyone, my little brother is straightforward and fast-talking, he doesn't have any bad intentions, and he will say what he thinks." I'm here to compensate you for him, disturb everyone's dining Yaxing, and look forward to everyone's Haihan. ”
"Is it true that I think I play very badly?"
Mo Li frowned slightly, and replied, "Your Excellency, are you trying to force my brother to make a fool of yourself?"
"Don't dare, don't dare, I'm just holding a learning attitude, to see how superb the piano skills are for those who can say such things. It's a brother's misunderstanding. The man in the suit said with a smile, but there was no half respect in his words.
Mo Li's brows furrowed even deeper, and he said, "Does Your Excellency have to be so aggressive?"
"It's not that I'm aggressive, but I really want to see that brother's piano skills. The man in the suit continued.
Seeing that the man in the suit was so unrelenting, Mo Li sighed helplessly, shook his head and said, "In this case, then I'll let you see what it means to play the piano." ”
As soon as Mo Li's voice fell, he walked towards the playing piano in the center of the hall. Walking to the piano, Mo Li patted the man in the suit on the shoulder and said, "Give you a chance one last time, do you still want to listen to me play?"
"Don't talk nonsense, pretend, if you have the ability, you can play!" The man in the suit was shocked by Mo Li's momentum, but he forced himself to calm down and hold on.
Mo Li smiled slightly, sat down, put his hands on the keys, brushed them from left to right, and then smoothed the keys with both hands, and closed his eyes slightly.
Seeing this scene, Duan Yu whistled loudly and shouted loudly, "Come on, big brother!"
Seeing that Moli was so good, thinking that Moli was indeed a piano player, the people around him didn't dare to say anything, but were looking forward to Moli's performance.
The moment the piano sounded, except for a middle-aged man with slightly gray temples, all the masks collapsed to the ground, including Duan Yu and Lei Ningxue.
As everyone got up, there was immediately scolding from below, all shouting for Mo Li to "get out". Moli remained unmoved, and continued to play his own piano music.
As the performance progressed, the face of the man in the suit changed slightly, as if he heard something, but he couldn't say it clearly, he didn't know it, he just wanted to wait for Mo Li to finish playing, and then ask him well.
As time went on, the scolding continued, but it wasn't as it had been.
In "Shaolin Football", Xing Ye has a line that says it very well, "Happy times always pass quickly." In a short time, Mo Li finished playing. After the performance, Mo Li got up gently, took out a box of cigarettes from the pocket of the man in the suit next to him, took out one and put it on the piano strings, bent down and took a light breath, and the cigarette was lit.
As Mo Li's piano sound ended, the middle-aged *** with slightly gray temples rose up and took the lead in applauding. Seeing the middle-aged people taking the lead in applauding, although most people didn't know why, they still applauded.
After a burst of applause, the middle-aged man walked up to Mo Li, stretched out his hand in a friendly manner, and introduced himself: "Charles, Finnilu Charles, the owner of this restaurant." I was really impressed by his piano skills. I have long heard that when the hand speed is fast to a certain level, the strings that are played can ignite the paper, and now I can see it, which is really a blessing for three lives. If I'm not mistaken, Sir just mixed "To Alice," "Piano by Night," "Castle in the Sky," "Canon," and two pieces of music that I didn't hear either, and I guessed right?"
Mo Li shook hands with the visitor gently, and responded politely: "Mo Li, the ink that dances and makes ink, and the deviant leaves." Your ears are good, but the last two songs...... Actually, it's normal that you can't hear it, the last two are "Croatian Rhapsody" and "Wild Bee Dance", but I played "Croatian Rhapsody" at 0.5x speed, and "Wild Bee Flying" at 0.3x speed, otherwise this kind of fast-paced concert will ruin the tranquility of "Castle in the Sky". ”
When Finilu Charles heard this, he suddenly realized: "Oh, I see, no wonder even I didn't hear it. Sir, this music mix seems to have opened the door to a new world for me. This is the black gold card of our Finnilu restaurant, and Mr. can come to dine at any time, all for free. As he spoke, he handed Mo Li a card with a gold-rimmed black background.
Mo Li smiled and refused: "Mr. Charles is polite, I don't want this card, it's okay to eat Western food occasionally, as a descendant of Yan and Huang, I still prefer to eat Chinese food." ”
Seeing this, Charles didn't force it anymore, but pushed the man in the suit in front of Mo Li and introduced him to Mo Li: "This is Claude Charles, my son, you can call him Little Charles, or you can call him Claude directly." My son graduated from Berklee College of Music, just graduated in July this year, and after two months at home, I asked him to come to my restaurant to play the piano for my restaurant, and I was responsible for giving him a salary of 6,000 yuan a month. I hope that in the future, if it is convenient, Mr. Mo can give more guidance to my son Charles Jr., so that his future music path will be smoother. ”
