Chapter 215: Am I a Random Person?
Gu Chen received a call from Guan Zhilin in the evening, when he was worried about who to eat with at night, because He Chaoqiong, who was the only one in Hong Kong, happened to have something at home and wanted to go home for dinner tonight, so he agreed without thinking about it, and made an appointment to eat together in the evening.
When Gu Chen came downstairs to Guan Zhilin's house at the appointed time, he was just about to make a phone call, when he saw Guan Zhilin walking out of the corridor. Maybe it was because he was going to attend the concert, Guan Zhilin was dressed very formally, the red dress showed a beautiful collarbone and a ditch full of temptation, he immediately got out of the car, and put a faint smile on his face: "This red dress really matches you, I believe Miss Guan will definitely be the most beautiful listener at tonight's concert." Although it may seem vulgar to praise a beautiful woman for being pretty, I really can't think of a more appropriate adjective. ”
"Hehehe......" Guan Zhilin covered her mouth and chuckled, a pair of beautiful big eyes seemed to be able to speak halfway: "Do you usually talk to the beautiful lady Chen Shao like this?" ”
"Does Miss Guan think I'm such a casual person?" Gu Chen's words caused Guan Zhilin to chuckle again, and then sat in the car at Gu Chen's signal.
It was still early, and the driver first sent Gu Chen and Wang Guxian to the restaurant that had already been booked, which is a very famous French restaurant in Hong Kong, with exquisite and delicious meals and a classical and elegant environment, which is an excellent choice to create an atmosphere. Of course, the price is also expensive, and the average white-collar worker can't afford it.
In a position near the corner, Gu Chen gentlemanly pulled out a chair for Guan Zhilin.
"Thank you."
After Guan Zhilin sat down, Gu Chen sat down opposite, and at this time, a waitress came over with the menu: "Good evening two, what do you need to use?" ”
Gu Chen made a gesture of invitation to Guan Zhilin, and smiled slightly: "Lady first." ”
Guan Zhilin is not hypocritical. Flipping through the menu, she glanced at Gu Chen before looking at it, and said, "I see that you are quite familiar with this place, why don't you give me some recommendations." ”
To be honest, Gu Chen was electrocuted by the obviously provocative glance: "The foie gras and caviar here are very good, the foie gras is flown in from France every night, so it is rationed, if the business is good, I can't eat it." Caviar is also an authentic caviar from the Caspian region of Russia, although it is not the best white sturgeon caviar. But the quality is also very good. ”
Guan Zhilin quickly closed the menu and ordered the French foie gras and caviar recommended by Gu Chen, plus an after-dinner dessert. Gu Chen also ordered foie gras and caviar, but the dessert he ordered was different, and when he returned the menu to the waiter, he said: "I really want to still have a bottle of 67-year-old Potus here that you haven't finished." ”
"It's good. Chen, wait a minute. ”
Guan Zhilin turned her head and looked around, and saw that there were not many people in the store: "The environment here is quite good." It's just that the location is a bit remote. ”
"There is an old Chinese saying that the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys. Besides. A restaurant like this has never been profitable by volume. ”
Guan Zhilin nodded approvingly: "I forgot that you also have a restaurant, I have been to the Tan Jiaxuan in Central a few times, it is really delicious, and the environment and service are very classical." Although the price is quite expensive, there is still an endless stream of people who go to eat, and I have to locate myself in advance every time I go. I didn't expect you to be good at writing songs and scripts. Even running a restaurant is so good. ”
"Hehe, in fact, many things seem difficult, in fact, he is just like that, the key is to have the courage to try. Like an extreme sport that has emerged in Europe in recent years. It's called bungee jumping, which is to tie an elastic rope to your feet and then jump from a height of dozens of meters. But in fact, many people have fallen in love with the sport after trying it out. ”
"Sounds incredible."
Seeing Guan Zhilin's slightly open expression of surprise, Gu Chen suddenly had the urge to turn into a beast: "People in Europe and the United States are naturally more adventurous than Asians, otherwise there would be no Age of Discovery in history." Hehe, it's a bit far-fetched, in fact, the restaurant's business can be so good, mainly because of the attractiveness of the Tan family's cuisine, if it is replaced by other dishes, it is estimated that it will be much worse. ”
At this time, the ordered meal was delivered, and at the same time, a half-aged bottle of 67-year-old Potus was delivered, one waiter set the meal and left, while the other waiter opened the cork that had sealed the curk and poured wine into the goblet in front of Gu Chen and Guan Zhilin.
Since this bottle of Potus was left over from the last time he and Zhou Comin came, Gu Chen just tasted it briefly, and after making sure that there was no problem, he let the waiter leave.
""East Becomes West" successfully painted with a box office of more than 32 million, and I haven't congratulated me as one of the heroines." Gu Chen raised his goblet and touched Guan Zhilin lightly.
Guan Zhilin took a sip, put down the wine glass, and said: "The box office of 32 million is the lowest since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, it doesn't seem to be worth celebrating, so the company didn't hold a celebration banquet." And you're the boss of the company, so if you want to congratulate you, I should congratulate you, right? ”
Although the box office of "East Becomes West" is the lowest since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, it can only be described as high compared with other film companies, so according to Zeng Zhiwei's meaning, "East Becomes West" was planned to hold a celebration banquet when it was painted, but Wang Jing felt that the box office was too low and there was nothing to do, so he canceled it.
"Now you are going to find Wang Jing, he was afraid of being laughed at, so he didn't hold a celebration banquet." Gu Chen directly put all the responsibility on Wang Jing, then picked up the knife and fork and enjoyed the delicious French foie gras: "I won't talk about work today." After a pause, he gently raised his fork, on which a small piece of foie gras was forked: "Modern people think of France when they think of foie gras, but it was not the French who first used foie gras, as early as thousands of years ago, the ancient Egyptians discovered that wild geese would eat a lot of food before migrating and store energy in their livers to meet the needs of long-distance flights." ”
"The wild geese caught during this time were also the most delicious, and it was natural that people immediately thought of forcibly feeding them, although the method was a bit cruel, but it did make foie gras delicious and nutritious, and later this method spread from Egypt to Rome, then to France, and then gradually developed into the current French famous dish."
Guan Zhilin listened with interest, and after Gu Chen finished speaking, she raised her wine glass and touched Gu Chen lightly, and asked, "What about the wine?" This Bertus wine seems to have been produced in France as well. (To be continued......)
