65: Morning tea
"I haven't finished it yet!" Gu Xier grabbed the thermos cup in his hand. "Shall we go for morning tea?"
Wen Ying raised her wrist and looked at her watch.
"Okay."
Along Fuxing Middle Road, a few steps away is the concert hall of the "flowing" Jianghai Symphony Orchestra. Across from the concert hall, the atmospheric Blackstone Apartments and the red-and-white Clement Apartments are both old buildings worth seeing. Lirong is located in the shade of the sycamore on Fuxing Middle Road, and it is not easy to squeeze out three or two parking spaces for oneself on the plot of land in the old French concession.
Gu Xier led Wen Ying into Lirong.
The decoration of the store is low-key, simple and gorgeous, from the gilt Guan Gong at the door to the indoor Tiffany blue, gold tableware, and Jingdezhen porcelain, which complement each other everywhere, and also has the honor of a Michelin-starred restaurant, giving people the feeling of being tall, and the decoration style is personally designed by Mr. Yukio Hashimoto, a famous Japanese space designer, with a simple style without losing elegance and luxury. The chef turned out to be the head chef of Hong Kong Lee Wing, and the standard is naturally very high.
Gu Xier: "Even the people who run the hall here are old Keller with a Hong Kong accent." ”
As a representative of slow life, Hong Kong-style morning tea also brings a touch of calmness to the fast-paced city of Jianghai.
The restaurant's executive chef has more than 30 years of experience in the kitchen. It opens at 7:30 every day and can meet the needs of "early" guests.
It's full.
Gu Xi'er was very gentlemanly and opened the chair for Wen Ying, and the table here was equipped with antique silverware and tableware, and immediately stepped into an immersive palace journey, adding mystery and French romance.
The waiter handed the menu to Wen Ying,
Wen Ying handed it to Gu Xier again,
Gu Xier: "Why don't you order?" ”
Wen Ying said softly: "I don't understand this, I will eat whatever you order." ”
This really surprised Gu Xier, the first time an ordinary woman comes to this kind of place, it is expensive, or signboard.
And Wen Ying grew up in Jianghai since she was a child, although now that the Wen family has been defeated, it is impossible that she has never been to this kind of place before.
Xiao Nizi wants to save me money?
Gu Xier took the menu and flipped it: "Black truffle wild mushroom dumplings, secret barbecued pork crisp, abalone sauce and phoenix feet, dragon and phoenix fried stuffed three treasures, rich fire duck side with splendid jade mandarin duck, Yangzhi manna with Leisha soup balls." ”
Wen Ying: "Order so much, can you eat?" ”
Gu Xier: "Uh...... I don't know which one you prefer, so order a little more variety and you can try a little bit of each. ”
Wen Ying: "Hmm. ”
Lirong's dessert menu is a wooden plaque in a wooden lacquer box, which is very old-fashioned.
Wen Ying couldn't help but admire: "It's so ceremonial." ”
The truffle flavor is strong, and the bacteria are stir-fried in warm oil beforehand, bringing out the pliable taste and aroma.
looked at Wen Ying sitting upright, "Why are you so restrained?" ”
Wen Ying: "......"
Gu Xier: "Just think this is a seafood stall, just like that day." ”
Wen Ying hesitated slightly, and said with a half-chuckle: "...... Is that okay? ”
Gu Xier: "What's not to do?" ”
Wen Ying: "......"
Suddenly, she was like a deflated ball, and her whole body relaxed.
Gu Xier watched her shoulders slowly droop.
In Wen Ying's dictionary, there is no relaxation of this statement, Gu Tingcheng has taught her since she was a child to be an elegant woman! The most elegant woman is not a woman who is impeccable in appearance, but a woman with the best manners. Elegant demeanor is the spirit of a woman, it will make an ordinary woman become extremely attractive, and show the beauty of a woman in every gesture.
Gu Tingcheng: For women, the most important capital is not just beautiful appearance, but elegant temperament. Beauty radiates from the inside out, and the charm is eternal!
And Gu Xier can easily break Gu Tingcheng's teaching to Wen Ying! Only when she is with Gu Xier will she take off all her disguises, and she will have a rare ease.
The corners of Gu Xi's lips raised slightly, and he smiled: "What are you eating for?" ”
Wen Ying: "For ...... For what?? It shouldn't be for the sake of not being hungry. ”
Gu Xier: "It's not a special era!" Eating now is for enjoyment. How can you be comfortable when you're so tight? ”
Gu Xier's words seem to be demagogic, Wen Ying: "Hmm." ”
Gu Xier: "Yangzhi manna with Leisha soup pills." Try. ”
Yangzhi manna has a fragrant and sweet aroma of mango, accompanied by the bitter taste of grapefruit, Leisha soup balls are lightly fried sesame soup balls in hot oil, the surface is wrapped in a layer of finely crushed peanuts like snowflakes, the crispy soup balls on the outside and glutinous on the inside bite a small bite, then the sesame seeds are inverted, the taste is extremely smooth, like silk sliding over the tongue......
Gu Xier seemed to offer a treasure: "How is it, it's delicious?!" "It's like that's what he did.
Wen Ying: "It's okay. ”
Gu Xier looked diligent but slightly disappointed: "Do you want another one?" ”
Wen Ying: "Don't. ”
Gu Xier: "It's obviously delicious, is it just like what the book says, women say no, but they want it in their hearts?" ”
Wen Ying: "......"
Gu Xier: "Do you want to live in my house?" ”
Wen Ying didn't hesitate: "Don't." ”
Gu Xier smiled with a hippie smile: "Don't say it on your lips, do you mean it in your heart?" ”
Wen Ying: "Where?!" ”
Gu Xier: "Look at you?" I'm kidding you, look at your blushing. ”
Wen Ying put down her chopsticks and touched her face: "No." ”
Gu Xier touched her head: "Nothing!! ”
Wen Ying lowered her fan-like eyelashes: "No blush." ”
The corners of Gu Xier's mouth were slightly raised: "I'm embarrassed to look at me!" ”
Wen Ying immediately met his eyes again: "No, no." ”
Gu Xier picked up a black truffle wild mushroom dumpling: "Come, open your mouth." ”
Wen Ying looked left and right: "I'll come by myself." ”
Gu Xier's face was slightly happy, and he was instantly angry: "No! ”
Wen Ying: "So many people. ”
Gu Xier: "If you don't eat it again, if I hold it like this, more people will look at you." ”
Wen Ying had to open her mouth obediently.
Gu Xier saw her little pink tongue.
Didi~~ Gu Xier glanced at his mobile phone, with a slightly surprised and confused look, and soon acted as if nothing happened:
"Hurry up and eat, they'll be coming to your store in a moment."
Wen Ying: "Who?" ”
Gu Xier: "Song Lan." ”
Wen Ying hesitated slightly: "Oh." ”
Gu Xier seemed to be comforted: "There is also Yan Yan." ”
Wen Ying smiled slightly and said softly, "Oh." ”
Gu Xier: "She seems to have called Shen Zhupenny." ”
Wen Ying: "Oh. ”
Gu Xier laughed happily, smiling proudly and presumptuously: "This kid eats stupidly!" In a moment they will come and slaughter them severely! I'm sorry for myself if I don't kill you! Let them buy, buy, buy! ”
Wen Ying laughed, and said gently: "But, these are your friends, I'm embarrassed." ”
Gu Xiyi looked at Wen Ying and smiled, and then said, "I'll let them buy it later." ”
Wen Ying nodded with satisfaction: "Hmm." ”
Gu Xier sandwiched another black truffle wild mushroom dumpling and sent it to Wen Ying's mouth: "Then you are obedient and eat this too." ”
"Ahh
