Chapter 144: Dinner Together
The architecture of the Bund is full of exotic atmosphere, and the location of Yade is located at No. 18 on the Bund, and the Italian architecture seems to tell the story of the old Shanghai.
It's not the first time Gu Cancan has come to the Bund, but every time he sees it, he has a different feeling.
Shi Lei was waiting at the gate of Yade early, seeing Qu Hongyu's car slowly driving from far and near, slowly stopping at the door of Yade, and then the driver quickly opened the door and got out of the car and helped open the door of the rear passenger seat.
Then he saw a fair-skinned slender leg with beautiful lines poking out, and Shi Lei felt his heart suddenly jump twice.
"Damn, am I leg control?" Shi Lei began to think wildly.
Gu Cancan got out of the car, and the first thing he saw was the exotic building in front of him, which had an indescribable sense of beauty, and then he saw Shi Lei on the side.
She was very impressed by this young man with a sunny smile and extraordinary skills, knowing that he was Qu Hongyu's little friend, seeing Shi Lei, her eyebrows raised slightly and greeted with a smile: "So you are here." β
Shi Lei was calm, feeling that the smile of the girl in the black dress in front of him was a little dazzling, his eyes moved to Jiang Meiying, who had just gotten out of the car, and replied at the same time: "Oh, I'll come out to breathe, and I'll wait for you to come over." β
Gu Cancan looked around slightly again, and then walked towards the door: "Well, then let's go in." β
The interior decoration of Yade is not the kind of luxury that Gu Cancan imagined, and it is not a golden wall splendor, but the decoration colors of white, beige and red are chosen, which looks elegant and unassuming.
It seems that the owner of the restaurant is also an elegant person, and the decoration does not make people see the luxury. The overall layout has a feeling of emptiness, and as soon as you walk in, you can experience that sudden quiet, which is also very warm.
Qu Hongyu's seat is in a quiet corner, near the window, which does not affect the night view of the Bund.
Seeing Gu Cancan and Jiang Meiying coming over, Qu Hongyu stood up, with a faint smile on his face, and said to Gu Cancan gently, "Cancan, you are here." β
"Hmm." Gu Cancan nodded, smiled at Qu Hongyu and said, "I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time." β
Qu Hongyu motioned for Gu Cancan to sit down, and at the same time whispered in his mouth: "No, I came early." β
Jiang Meiying was first shocked by Yade's low-key and luxurious atmosphere, and then shocked by Qu Hongyu's attitude towards Gu Cancan, could it be that this super diamond king Lao Wu really likes Gu Cancan?
She originally wanted to sit with Gu Cancan, but Shi Lei insisted on pulling her to sit on the other side of the three seats......
Gu Cancan looked at Jiang Meiying, who was reluctant to be dragged away, and said to Qu Hongyu, "Do you have something to say to me alone?" β
"No, no, I just want to talk to you." Qu Hongyu had a harmless smile on his face.
Gu Cancan pursed his lips and said no more, I will quietly see what tricks you have.
Turning his head, Gu Cancan looked at the night scene of the Bund outside the window, at this time the sky had just darkened, rendering the street scene with a layer of caramel color, all kinds of Western buildings under the sunset illuminated with a sense of the times of old Shanghai photos, as if telling the dream-like prosperous past of the old Shanghai Tang.
"For more than 100 years, the Bund has been a symbol of Shanghai." Qu Hongyu's gentle voice came, like a cup of strong coffee: "The buildings here are from the hands of many architects, and they are not of the same era, but their architectural tones are basically unified, and the treatment of the overall outline lines is also amazingly harmonious. Gu Cancan, it looks like you like the Bund, right? β
Gu Cancan grinned and said easily, "I don't like it." Seeing these exotic buildings reminds me of the time when I had to swallow my stomach even if I had a tooth that had been knocked out. β
"Uh......"
Qu Hongyu's expression was suffocated, thinking to himself that you did it on purpose, can you still chat happily?
"Let the past pass, the traffic of history rolls forward, and there is no turning back. The French cuisine at this restaurant is very good, what would you like to eat? Qu Hongyu decisively terminated the topic of the Bund.
At this time, a waitress appeared silently and presented a gorgeous menu.
Gu Cancan glanced at the waiter in surprise, why didn't this person make any sound when he walked?
She didn't answer, and said directly to Qu Hongyu with a smile: "I haven't eaten French food, or even Western food, you can make a decision." β
The male waiter glanced at Gu Cancan in surprise, he had seen a lot of beautiful girls who came to the restaurant to eat with his male companions, and it was really rare to see someone as frank as her.
Hey, isn't this girl Gu Cancan?
The expression on the male waiter's face became exciting, he obviously recognized Gu Cancan, and wanted to say something, but his good professionalism made him choose to be silent in the end, but his eyes were a little burning.
Gu Cancan just smiled and looked at Qu Hongyu.
Qu Hongyu smiled, didn't take the menu, and said to Gu Cancan: "Cancan, do you have any taboos?" β
"No, I eat everything." Gu Cancan's eyes are a little shining, I'm looking forward to it.
As a foodie, it was really the first time in his two lives that Gu Cancan had eaten in such a high-end Western restaurant, but unfortunately Gu Cancan was not in the mood to pretend, anyway, he didn't plan to develop with Qu Hongyu, so he just did it rashly.
Qu Hongyu smiled and said: "Then let's do it, French baked snails, creamy mushroom soup, fried lobster meat, Bordeaux wine foie gras, arugula shrimp and tomato jelly, and their special strawberry tiramisu for dessert, what do you think?" β
Gu Cancan's eyes were blank and expectant, and when he heard this, he hesitated and said, "Will it be too much?" β
Qu Hongyu smiled and said, "No, Yade's dishes are very exquisite." By the way, would you like to drink some red wine? β
"Is there a Lafite in '82?"
The waiter replied in a deep voice, "Yes." β
Damn, do you really dare to say that there is? It must be fake.
Gu Cancan's face was full of disbelief, and he said with a teasing smile: "Hehe, I'm joking, I don't drink." β
"The best drinking period for Lafite in 82 years is 97 years, and if it takes a long time, it will start to "slag" and affect the taste. Qu Hongyu said with a smile: "If you like red wine, I have two bottles of 89-year-old RomanΓ©e Conti at home, and now is the most mellow vintage, I will bring it to you next time." β
Gu Cancan waved his hand again and again: "Don't, just listen to the name, you know that it is a very expensive wine, and I can't afford it." In fact, I don't drink much red wine, let me drink it, I can't drink the difference between tens of thousands of red wine and dozens of Changyu, it's all sour. β
The waiter couldn't help but laugh, Gu Cancan was really unexpectedly frank.
Qu Hongyu also smiled and said to the waiter: "Then let's do it." β
The waiter left, Gu Cancan put his left hand on his cheek, looked at Qu Hongyu, and said lazily: "The environment of this place you are looking for is quite good." β
"Yard is the only French restaurant in China with three Michelin stars, and of course, there is also a saying that Yard is only two chefs who are three Michelin stars, and Yard is not rated." Qu Hongyu explained: "But it is undeniable that Yade's French cuisine is very good, and the ingredients taste very good, you can experience it for yourself later." β
A thought suddenly popped up in Gu Cancan's mind, and she asked curiously: "Actually, I haven't always understood, doesn't Michelin make tires?" Tires are not related to catering rooms, why can it give restaurants a rating? Or is this Michelin not the other Michelin? β
Qu Hongyu explained to her gently: "It is indeed a rating made by Michelin Group. In 1900, the founder of Michelin Tyre published a guide for travelers to choose a restaurant on the go, called the "Michelin Red Book", which has been refurbished every year since then, and has been regarded as the food bible of Europe by "foodies", until later, fine dining restaurants around the world coveted these three stars. β
"I see. I really didn't expect Michelin to make tires to influence the status of restaurants in the world. Gu Cancan suddenly realized, he didn't expect Qu Hongyu to know so much out-of-the-way knowledge.
"Today, the Michelin rating is well established. How important are these three stars? Celebrity chef Alain Zick's suicide because his restaurant was downgraded from three stars to two stars, look at it, this is an honor that can cause death, which shows its authority. Qu Hongyu explained.
Gu Cancan nodded, and said with admiration for the first time: "Qu Hongyu, you know so much. β
Looking at the girl opposite smiling and affirming herself, Qu Hongyu suddenly felt very happy, and couldn't help but smile and said: "You know, I'm not in good health, I didn't go to school, and I usually have to read more miscellaneous books at home." β
"Damn, invisible pretending is the deadliest." Gu Cancan handed over a brother's look.
Qu Hongyu was a little sluggish for a while, and Gu Cancan, who suddenly became lively, made him a little uncomfortable.
"Hehe, by the way, it's time for Tianyu to release an album for you."
"The recording is done, and the record is probably being made now. It is estimated that it will not be long before the record will be available. Gu Cancan replied, turned his head to look at Jiang Meiying who was looking over here, and said to Qu Hongyu: "You put Meiying and Shi Lei aside, do you have anything to say to me?" β
Qu Hongyu smiled and said, "I really don't have this, I just want to chat with you." β
Gu Cancan's suspicious eyes.
"Well, the sales of Mango Phone 2 are much better than expected, and you have a lot of credit for your advertisement, so you can be regarded as thanking you in person."
"No, I also get paid for commercials. I don't think I have to credit for the good sales of Mango 2. You're an excuse, let's be honest, boy, what are your intentions in approaching me? β
The corners of Qu Hongyu's mouth couldn't help twitching, it was considered to have comprehended Gu Cancan's out-of-the-box thoughts, and the original trace of speculation in her heart was a little shaken, her performance, compared to her father, was really too far from the kind of image in his heart.
"I really don't have any intentions, I just want to make friends with you." Qu Hongyu said weakly.
Gu Cancan stared at him for a while, then suddenly smiled brightly and said, "Okay, I believe you." β
"You're like this, I can't believe that you are the lyricist who writes a cup of respect for tomorrow and a cup of respect for the past." Qu Hongyu couldn't help but complain.
Gu Cancan smiled: "Actually, it's a cup of respect for Baoqiang, and a cup of respect for milk." β
"......, what do you mean?" Qu Hongyu was puzzled.
"Haha, nonsense, it's not interesting." Gu Cancan suddenly said the wrong thing, and said something wrong: "Are you really my little fan brother?" β
Qu Hongyu had a wonderful expression on his face, and he was silent for a while before he said: "Am I older than you, how can I say that I am a fan brother." β
Well? Your focus shouldn't be here, right?
At this time, the waiter served the food, and the two stopped talking and began to enjoy the French meal.
Qu Hongyu's family education is strict, and he pays attention to food when he eats, and Gu Cancan is also happy to be quiet and learn Qu Hongyu's way to taste food.
After a long time, Qu Hongyu had stopped eating, and Gu Cancan was still dealing with the food on the plate......
In the end, Gu Cancan swept away the dishes on the table, patted his stomach comfortably, and squinted his eyes to reminisce.
Qu Hongyu kept looking at Gu Cancan, and saw that she didn't care about her image at all, leaning back on the leather sofa like a well-fed cat, with a happy expression, and couldn't help but show a funny smile on her face.
"Laughing at what?" Gu Cancan glanced at Qu Hongyu lazily.
"It's nothing, I just think it's appetizing to watch you eat."
Gu Cancan sat up straight, smiled and said, "Of course." β
picked up the knife and fork on the table and waved it twice: "I haven't heard a word." I took a knife in my left hand and a fork in my right hand to enjoy that life slowly. β
Qu Hongyu's eyes lit up, and he nodded in response: "A very philosophical sentence, this is your own original, right?" β
"No," Gu Cancan decisively denied: "It's what I saw in a book before." Okay, you're full of food and drink, and then, do you have any other arrangements, and I'll go back without me. By the way, are you alright? β
She saw that Qu Hongyu's face was already tired at this time, his face began to deteriorate, a little sallow, and his cheeks were a little abnormally red.
Qu Hongyu smiled tiredly: "It's okay, it's okay, okay, I'll let Uncle Zhang send you back." β
"Is it really okay? Why did your face suddenly turn so bad? Gu Cancan asked worriedly, there is still a word that has not been spoken, just according to your family's conditions, no matter how weak your body is, it should be able to make up for it.
Qu Hongyu was keenly aware of Gu Cancan's unfinished words, and smiled bitterly: "The poor physique brought from the mother's womb can be reversed by the power of non-medicinal stones." β
It turned out that this was the case, Gu Cancan glanced at Qu Hongyu with sympathy, even though the Qu family is extremely rich, there are always some things that cannot be changed if they are rich.
Shi Lei and Jiang Meiying greeted him, and Shi Lei stood beside Qu Hongyu without moving and gently supported his body.
The four of them slowly walked out of Yade, and the driver of the Qu family had already driven the car to the door to wait.
Qu Hongyu smiled and motioned for Gu Cancan to get in the car, Gu Cancan looked at him worriedly and said, "Qu Hongyu, you go back first, I'll take a taxi." β
"No, there's a car for me." Qu Hongyu looked at Gu Cancan, who was close at hand, looking at him with a worried expression on his face, his heart moved, he raised his hand and gently took off a broken hair on the shoulder of Gu Cancan's small white shawl, and said gently: "I'm really happy to have dinner with you tonight." β
Gu Cancan frowned slightly, then dispersed, and said with a faint smile at Qu Hongyu: "Me too, thank you for your hospitality." β
The two waved goodbye.
On the other side of the street, two men in ordinary baseball caps sneakily met and whispered, "Did you get it?" β
"Very clear!"
"Okay, pure genius music girl tryst handsome boy, tomorrow will definitely make headlines!"
"Hehe, Brother He, today's news has a breaking point, the editor-in-chief has to give us a big red envelope, right?"
"A must!"
