Chapter 381: 208 Ocean Avenue (Middle)
After walking into 208 Ocean Drive, Emma Watson's eyes were not idle, she didn't expect that the door didn't look like much pomp, but inside there was a cave, an antique hall, full of art.
At this time, a waiter came over with a smile on his face and said to Xiang Ying Ying in Chinese: "Mr. Xiang, you are here, everything is arranged here, I will lead the way." ”
Emma Watson looked at Xiang Yingying blankly, as if waiting for Xiang Yingying to translate, but Xiang Yingying just smiled at her, and then led her to follow the waiter through a carved arch on the side of the hall to a small courtyard called "Four Seasons Courtyard".
There are four private rooms in this small courtyard, respectively**Mu Chenyang, summer dyed safflower, autumn hidden tree shadow, winter soaked snow, decoration style is different, but they all belong to the ancient Chinese style.
After Emma Watson entered the small courtyard, she was immediately attracted by this very cultural environment, and quickly took off the toad glasses, and looked here and there, with great interest.
Xiang Yingying did not urge her, but followed very patiently and helped her translate the names of the four private rooms, although after being translated into English, there was no original artistic conception, but it was enough to make Emma Watson charm for a long time.
After Emma Watson finished reading it, Xiang Yingying took her to Winter Immersion Snow. Winter Immersion is a suite, with a dark red classical round table in the middle room, not to mention the carved tabletop, and even the turntable on it is made of solid wood.
The outside room is an ancient bed-like sofa with a fully hollow carved backrest, and a low-legged coffee table is placed in the middle, with a cushion on each side of the coffee table.
"Haha! It's such a big sofa! Emma Watson sat up with a grin, looked up at Xiang Yingying with her little head and asked, "Tell me quickly, what kind of place is this?" ”
"It's a Chinese restaurant, but it's membership-only and it's not open to the public. The owner here is a Chinese-American, and counting up, he seems to have had an imperial chef in three generations. Xiang Yingying said this, looked at Emma Watson with a blank face, and explained with a smile: "It's the chef who cooks for the emperor, just like your British chef who specializes in cooking for the British queen." ”
"During the six months I trained here, I became good friends with the owner of this house, so I specially asked you to come over today to taste authentic Chinese court cuisine, so that you can taste what it is like to be an emperor." Xiang Yingying said.
"Good! All right! Anyway, the environment here is very good, and I like it more, but I don't know how the food tastes? Emma Watson said expectantly.
"Don't worry! Guaranteed to make you want to eat it again. It's still early, let's have a snack and drink some tea before eating. Xiang Yingying suggested.
"Okay! Anyway, I happened to be a little hungry. Emma Watson said with a grin.
Soon, the waiter brought four plates of small snacks with beautiful colors and a pot of tea.
In fact, the so-called four plates are actually eight, two on each plate, and after the waiter put the dim sum, he pointed to a plate of yellow, flower-like dim sum and introduced: "This is called pine nut lily cake, which looks like a lily flower, and is crispy and delicious." Rich in vitamin E and zinc, it is a classic nourishing spot for moisturizing the skin and delaying skin aging. ”
Emma Watson listened to the waiter's introduction while looking at the pine nut lily cake in front of her, and said excitedly, "Oh! Oh, my God! It's really like a lily, it's so beautiful that I can't even bear to eat it. ”
When Xiang Yingying heard this, he grinned, suddenly held one in his hand, stuffed it whole into his mouth, and said vaguely while eating: "Woo! Not bad! It tastes good! ”
Faced with Xiang Ying's drastic approach, Emma Watson rolled her eyes speechlessly, carefully picked up the pine nut lily cake, took a small bite, and immediately closed her eyes with satisfaction.
At this time, the waiter pointed to another plate of round and very cute pastry and introduced: "This is called coconut fragrant glutinous rice, which is made of glutinous rice flour, custard, shredded coconut and other raw materials through eighteen processes. Glutinous rice cake is also known as the champion glutinous glutinous, according to legend, Zou Yinglong, a native of the Southern Song Dynasty, went to Beijing to take the exam, and the emperor Ningzong personally ordered him to be the champion and the first, and praised the glutinous rice cake he offered, and gave the name "Zhuangyuan glutinous". ”
Next, the waiter introduced two kinds of dim sum, Huangqiao baked cake and jujube paste shortbread. Xiang Yingying and Emma Watson listened to the story behind the dim sum while eating delicious court dim sum.
What is food, not only to taste its taste, but also to understand its soul, complement each other before it can be called food.
Look at Emma Watson who was conquered with just four snacks. Xiang Yingying maliciously slowly sneered: "I just like to see foreigners who don't know it." ”
At this time, Xiang Yingxing's mobile phone suddenly rang. He took it out and looked at it, and found that it was Mike, so he said hello to Emma Watson apologetically, then left the table and walked to the window to answer the phone.
"Hey! Hero, where are you? On the other end of the phone, Mike asked with some excitement.
"I'm eating out, what's wrong Uncle Mike?" Xiang Hero vaguely guessed why Mike was so excited. Because, now everyone around him is concerned about one thing, and that is when he can play the Championship Challenge.
Sure enough, Mike said excitedly: "That's right, I just received an official notice from the UFC, hoping that we can rush to Las Vegas tomorrow to finalize the official time of your fight with Robert Viteker." ”
"Actually, the time is right, the 2018 World MMA Awards (orld MMA Aards) award ceremony will also be held in Las Vegas in three days, so that we don't have to toss back and forth."
"Oh! This award ceremony! You don't say I almost forgot. Xiang Yingying said.
"You can forget this, you shouldn't have even been nominated for the Comeback of the Year, Knockout of the Year, Breakthrough Rising Star of the Year and Match of the Year!" Mike has finally managed to fit into the big heart of the Xiang hero so far.
"Huh! How can this be forgotten? I want to see how many prizes I can win? Xiang Yingying laughed.
"How many more would you like to take? No kidding, as long as you can win the best breakthrough star of the year, which is the most important award for newcomers. On the other end of the phone, Mike shook his head and smiled, he didn't think that a hero could win multiple awards.
Next, Xiang Yingying hung up the phone after discussing the itinerary with Mike tomorrow morning. Then he couldn't wait to call Qu Zimo and tell her the exciting news, hoping that she could accompany him to Las Vegas to attend the awards ceremony.
Qu Zimo was very happy when she learned the news, but she had no way to come to Las Vegas, because Qu Tiancheng had some physical problems in the past few days, and she had to stay and take care of her.
As soon as Xiang Yingying heard that his master was not in good health, he was anxious, and he couldn't wait to fly back to China immediately, regardless of whether he had a grand ceremony or not.
In the end, Xiang Yingying still heard Qu Tiancheng's voice on the other end of the phone, so he put down his snack a little, but secretly decided that after the time of the championship challenge was confirmed with Dana White, he would return to China directly from Las Vegas and not participate in the MMA annual ceremony.
