Body 249. Praise
Jian Xiaoqi hasn't figured out what this matter has to do with He Lao? But Siyan suddenly stopped talking again, making her so curious that she felt like she had been scratched by a cat!
In the end, he couldn't hide his words, Jian Xiaoqi soon couldn't sit still, and licked his lips, "And then?" β
Si Yan really smiled, and continued to turn the cup in his hand, his voice was low and full of charm: "Old He has a closed disciple, in Rong'an City, this restaurant is opened by his disciple!" β
At the mention of this, Jian Xiaoqi's eyes immediately lit up, "Listening to what Old He meant, his disciple is 'better than blue'!" β
The instinct of a foodie couldn't help but think: He Lao's craftsmanship is already full of praise, so isn't the craftsmanship of this closed disciple even more amazing?!
Si Yan was amused by her imagination, his long arm stretched out in front of her across the two seats, and tapped on her forehead, "Silly girl, 'blue is better than blue' is just a concept, and no one can surpass He Lao's craftsmanship for the time being!" β
Si Yan explained disappreciably, and took another sip of tea carelessly, admiring her collapsed face. The businessman is very profitable, if He Lao really surpasses himself, then why should he go to great lengths to ask He Lao to go out of the mountain in person?
Jian Xiaoqi had never eaten the dishes made by this old disciple of He Lao, but she had tasted He Lao's craftsmanship, and she was already full of expectations for it. Who knows, Si Yan's words dispelled this bubble!
"That'...... Since he is a disciple of He Lao, his craftsmanship will not be bad after all, right? β
Jian Xiaoqi is a good person to feed, and if he can't eat the best, he will retreat to the next best, but beg this closed disciple not to disgrace He Lao's reputation.
Si Yan didn't deny this, and nodded: "This is natural, otherwise, with He Lao's temper, he will never be allowed to smash his signboard!" β
Jian Xiaoqi was relieved and waited patiently for the dishes to be served.
The old man of the Si family has a relationship with He Lao, so this closed disciple of He Lao naturally also knows Si Yan. Hearing the waiter say that Si Yan came to the "building in the building", he immediately put down the kitchen work in his hand, served a plate of freshly prepared dishes, and asked someone to open a bottle of good wine and send it over in person.
"Si Shao, it's really you! What a rare guest, why didn't you mention it to me before you came? I'll reserve a seat for you! β
This restaurant has a total of four floors, except for the first floor is the hall for dining, the other three floors are private rooms. For example, on the second and third floors, there are 32 boxes on each floor, but on the fourth floor, there are nine top-level boxes, which are set up for those who are rich or have special status!
Among them, these nine boxes are divided into grades, from low to high are three series of water, building and sky, each series of three boxes, the difference is that the line of sight of the lake view is different!
When Si Yan and the others came, there were already people in the "Outer Heavens", so they could only retreat and choose this "building within a building"!
Listening to what the restaurant owner meant, he has such a good relationship with Si Yan?
Jian Xiaoqi sat on the side and wandered out of the world, his eyes falling on this old disciple of He with some curiosity. This man is about thirty years old, and he looks like most chefs who are slightly fat, and his face is ruddy, and he knows that he is very moist at a glance.
Moreover, Jian Xiaoqi noticed that this person was talking with some businessmen's oily tone in his tone. No wonder business here is so good, this guy looks like a bit of a brain!
However, what worries Jian Xiaoqi is that this disciple's attention is all on business, can his cooking skills be very good? So, she stared eagerly at the dishes on the tableβ
Over there, the conversation between Si Yan and the disciple surnamed Liu was not over:
"Mr. Liu, you're welcome, we're just here to eat, it doesn't matter where we sit......"
Si Yan opened his mouth like this, but he actually saw Jian Xiaoqi's eyes staring at the table and couldn't move, knowing that she was hungry, so he also wanted to end the conversation.
Liu Mengyun smiled apologetically: "Hey, then how embarrassing ......" Then, he personally poured them a glass of wine, pointed to a few dishes on the table, and said embarrassedly: "Si Shao, I was negligent this time, so I specially cooked these two dishes myself, I hope the two of you can like it." β
Liu Mengyun didn't recognize Jian Xiaoqi, thinking that she was talking about Si Shao's female companion, so when she spoke, her eyes kept staring at Si Yan.
Fortunately, Jian Xiaoqi didn't care either, and only took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to his words, and secretly grimaced at Si Yan. Si Yan immediately understood, nodded and smiled at the wine and food sent by Liu Mengyun, and then found a reason to send people away.
This Liu Mengyun obviously has something to say, but he knows that he can't disturb Si Shao's meal, so he nodded, "Okay, when the two of you have eaten, I'll make amends-"
Then he went down with the empty tray......
"It's finally time to eat!"
The conversation just now never ended, Jian Xiaoqi's anxious mouth was about to burst into flames, as soon as this person left, she couldn't care about being polite, and couldn't wait to stretch out her chopsticks.
As a result, someone moved one step faster than her.
"Let's eat!"
Before her own chopsticks reached the plate, Si Yan had already sandwiched a piece of pork ribs and put it in her bowl, and smiled slightly in her mellow voice: "Oh, I know that you are a carnivore, these are all for you to eat!" β
Then, he put the little yellow croaker in another plate and put it in her bowl, and this time the line was changed to: "This is for the bamboo pole to eat, oh, I will also find you a master!" β
In this way, Jian Xiaoqi has two mouths, and he can't keep up with this speed!
In the end, she was so anxious that she stretched out her arms to firmly protect the mouth of her bowl, and then shook her head at him: "Okay, don't want it, you can eat it yourself!" β
Si Yan stopped and raised his eyes to look at her: "Enough?" β
Jian Xiaoqi nodded, "Enough is enough!" β
Si Yan smiled again, the chopsticks in his hand flicked on the plate, and there was a little banter in his deep eyes, "Then are you still angry that I brought a bamboo pole to you?" β
So she was waiting for her here!
Jian Xiaoqi gritted her teeth in anger, her eyes staring at his chopsticks, which contained her least favorite dish. After a while, as he was about to leave the plate with chopsticks holding the dish, she finally shook her head.
"If I'm not angry, how can I be angry!" The smile on his face was a little stiff.
Si Yan deliberately raised his eyebrows to look at her, "Really not angry?" β
Jian Xiaoqi took a deep breath and shook his head again, "Of course, this is just a trivial matter!" It's just that it sounds more like self-comfort.
Si Yan smiled indifferently, put the dishes in the chopsticks into his bowl, and then tasted it slowly, chewing it carefully, as if he had tasted someone else's deliciousness.
"Well, it's not bad!"
He watched Jian Xiaoqi speak, and coupled with his deliberate slowing down, it looked like some kind of suggestive words.
Jian Xiaoqi turned his head silently, pretending not to see his movements.
Si Yan teased a few times, and when he saw that it had some effect, he let go decisively, and as soon as he stopped, the meal was much more peaceful.
Later, Si Yan kept observing her and found that she only used her hands on the dishes she liked. couldn't help frowning slightly, this picky eating habit is not good!
So, he coaxed her to divert her attention, "There are a lot of good dishes here, you can try them all, remember which dishes you like, and order them next time you come." β
Jian Xiaoqi was skeptical, but he still tasted a little according to his words. Sure enough, there are a few dishes that don't look good, but the taste is okay.
"Well, it's not bad!"
Jian Xiaoqi ate with satisfaction, his eyes narrowed with enjoyment......
After eating and drinking, Jian Xiaoqi felt that her life was complete, and when Si Yan invited someone to call Liu Mengyun to come, she quietly held a cup of tea and sat by the window near the lake to enjoy the night view of the lake.
Jian Xiaoqi sat comfortably on a chair carved from sandalwood and moire, holding a cup of steaming tea in his hand. That is today's most famous "cloud tip", a cup is worth 10,000 dollars, but she uses it as an after-dinner digestion aid.
Jian Xiaoqi looked into the distance, and the entire lake seemed to be covered with fog, and the night lights dotted around the lake were also half engulfed by the fog, as if it was faintly covered with a light veil......
The night breeze was blowing, and she was wearing Si Yan's blazer, and the big clothes covered her, covering her tightly, and she couldn't feel the coolness at all.
In my ears, on one side was the sound of the lake slapping against the embankment, and on the other side was the sound of two men talking behind me. Si Yan's voice was low and sexy, and it sounded more lazy, like a cup of intoxicating wine.
At the beginning of speaking, Jian Xiaoqi couldn't hide his curiosity and listened for a while, most of the time it was Liu Mengyun who was talking, his voice was a little excited, mixed with "branches", "shares" or something, and Si Yan just made one or two "um", "hum" and the like from time to time. It's really like his style!
Jian Xiaoqi sat there and listened for a while, then couldn't help but laugh while holding the teacup, she estimated that He Lao's closed disciple had a feeling of "playing the piano to the cow", right? However, she was not interested in any of this, so after listening to it for a while, she felt a little drowsy.
"Hmm......"
Putting down the teacup, Jian Xiaoqi yawned lazily, tightened the coat on his body a little tighter, and then shrank into the big chair.
The cool water vapor on the surface of the lake slowly rose, and the attic was as warm as the sun, and gradually, Jian Xiaoqi's head slowly became heavy as if it had been filled with grout.
β¦β¦
Jian Xiaoqi couldn't remember when they talked about it, and he couldn't remember exactly when he fell asleep or how he left. When she opened her eyes again, it was on the big bed in her own little apartmentβ
"Shhhh
Suddenly she opened her eyes, the light above her head was a little dazzling, and she covered her eyes with her arms for a while before putting them down. Glancing across the room, lotus-colored curtains, antique table lamps, and the book "A Quick Plan for Raising a Cat" that she hadn't finished reading last night were also on the bedside table......
It's her little apartment, yes!
"Huh?"
Her mind gradually cleared up, but Jian Xiaoqi was even more confused, didn't she enjoy the lake view at night in the restaurant? Isn't it...... A spirit, Jian Xiaoqi shuddered violently.
