Chapter Forty-Nine: Like a Literary Youth
The next morning, as soon as Jian Chengyun entered the office with his front foot, the assistant on the back foot followed.
Jian Chengyun saw that the little assistant was a little embarrassed, he hadn't been working for long, but there were several assistants around him who went back and forth.
The assistant was holding a small stack of paper with information about the new restaurant densely written.
Each restaurant's specialties, taste preferences, and even the décor are printed out.
It's like a little research.
Jian Chengyun nodded with satisfaction and asked the little assistant to go back and continue working.
Jian Chengyun picked a Cantonese-style restaurant.
After he chosen, he searched online and found that the restaurant was a chain.
Quite a few branches have opened in other districts of City C, and each store is doing well.
He clicked in to see the details and found that there was only one store in his district, which opened a few days ago.
He flipped through the comment area again, and the general evaluation was quite good.
Jian Chengyun sent the selected restaurant to the assistant and asked him to help him book and arrange it.
During the break after lunch, Jian Chengyun sent the location of the restaurant to Sheng Baili.
After a few minutes, Sheng Baili replied with a good word.
The afternoon of waiting seemed extraordinarily long.
The light outside slowly dims over time.
Today's work is extraordinarily efficient, and Jian Chengyun's stacks of tall materials are getting shorter and shorter.
Twilight quadrangle.
Step on the point to get off work.
Jian Chengyun went straight to the restaurant after work.
Although I asked the assistant to arrange it, I was still a little worried.
After all, it's the first time I'm chasing a girl seriously, so it's better to be cautious.
This is the first step to attack his wife, and he has to go steady.
After arriving at the restaurant, Jian Chengyun was led by the waiter to the reserved seat.
He double-checked the menu and added a few more dishes under the waiter's introduction.
Tea was sizzling and steaming around the table.
Jian Chengyun looked at the window.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on Jian Chengyun's face.
Sheng Baili arrived as promised.
After she was seated, Jian Chengyun and the waiter said that it was time to serve.
Jian Chengyun and Sheng Baili sat face to face, with a little more restraint that they had never had before.
The last time I ate alone, I still deducted and searched for extremely money-saving meals.
And this time, the two of them sat brightly in a brightly bustling Cantonese restaurant.
"I don't know if you like Cantonese food, I think this store has a good evaluation." Jian Chengyun said.
"It's okay, but I don't eat a lot." Sheng Baili replied.
"Do you have any favorite dishes? We can add it. Jian Chengyun asked.
"No, I don't. The food you ordered should be pretty good. Sheng Baili said.
The two of them went back and forth to talk about questioning, and finally after the first course was served, they gradually became less embarrassed.
The first course is lotus leaf rice.
Fresh green lotus leaves are wrapped in grains of crystal clear white rice.
When the waiter helped them uncover a small opening in the lotus leaves, the fragrance of the lotus leaves greeted them.
"Are there lotus leaves this season?" Jian Chengyun asked.
"Yes. We have a dedicated supply chain. The waiter said.
"Then ......" Jian Chengyun seemed to have a lot of questions to ask.
"Let's eat it while it's hot." Sheng Baili interrupted Jian Chengyun at the right time, and the waiter gave Sheng Baili a grateful look.
Scoop up the rice with a wooden spoon and look closely, the rice is still wrapped in green.
Although there was a thin layer of oil in the past, there was no oil in the mouth when I ate it.
Sheng Baili smiled as she ate.
"Is it delicious?" Jian Chengyun asked.
"It's pretty good." Sheng Baili replied.
"The place I picked is okay." Jian Chengyun had a praising expression.
"Yes, you can." Sheng Baili did not hesitate to give affirmation.
The second course is a plate of pork ribs that looks unremarkable.
After Jian Chengyun and Sheng Baili took turns to clip a few pieces, they found that there was still a layer of bitter gourd slices on the bottom of the plate.
"If you want to open a big store, you still have to work hard." Jian Chengyun sighed in his heart.
White chopped chicken, **char siu, boiled cabbage heart, pineapple coo, ...... The same is also served one after another.
Their small table was filled with all kinds of dishes.
"It turns out that the Cantonese food that blocked our distance." Jian Chengyun said coldly.
Sheng Baili snorted and laughed, "That's also your own choice." ”
I can't eat the food on the table.
Obviously, the first dish is eaten the most. The rest of the story was delicious, but the more you got to the back, the more you couldn't eat it.
"Don't order so much next time." Sheng Baili said.
"Next time? Are you saying we'll be able to eat together next time? Jian Chengyun obviously didn't pay attention to too many dishes, his attention was on the next two words.
"Hmm. I'll invite you next time. Sheng Baili said.
Everything should be courteous, this is Sheng Bailey's idea at this moment.
After they talked for a while, they finally got on the last one.
The last dish is dessert: ginger and milk.
There are all ginger milk dessert shops, but the taste of ginger milk in this shop is stronger than the outside.
Sheng Baili heard Niu Nannan say that the taste of ginger hitting milk depends on the milk source. There are many kinds of milk, flower milk, yak milk, buffalo milk, etc. And the most perfect way to make ginger milk is buffalo milk.
The sweetness of buffalo milk and the mineral content of vitamins and other minerals it contains easily outperform ordinary milk.
Sheng Baili wasn't sure if it was buffalo milk, maybe it was.
Ginger is not visible in ginger milk, it has long since become ginger juice and milk blended together.
But it is indeed impossible to hide in taste and smell.
Although Sheng Baili couldn't eat a little, she still moved the spoon in front of her with interest when she saw the ginger hitting her milk like a pudding.
Jian Chengyun really couldn't eat it, so he watched Sheng Baili's small movements.
The white ginger milk exudes a strong aroma, and the milky aroma and the spicy ginger flavor seem to be destined to be together, just the right blend.
Sheng Baili scooped a spoonful of beanflower-like ginger into the bowl with a spoon, and the tender texture scurried in her mouth. The sweet and slightly spicy smell is also more pronounced in the spoonful.
"It's delicious." Sheng Baili looked up and said to Jian Chengyun.
After Jian Chengyun heard her say this, he also tasted it, and then said tentatively, "Then, do you want another bowl?" ”
"I can't eat it, I can't eat it." Sheng Baili waved his hand hurriedly.
In a word, the two people's ginger milk bottomed out.
They really endured this meal.
After settling the account, Jian Chengyun proposed to Sheng Baili to go for a walk to eliminate food, and Sheng Baili felt her slightly bulging lower abdomen, so she agreed.
Near the restaurant is Moon Lake Park.
They walked around the lake, tacitly without words.
I walked around the Moon Lake twice and was walking back.
A pair of old men who walked by pointed to the night sky and said, "The moon is so bright tonight." ”
They all looked at the night sky.
"The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, and so are you."
Jian Chengyun's words slid softly into Sheng Baili's ears.
Sheng Baili didn't speak, but she felt as if her left ear had been gently pecked by the evening breeze.
It turns out that Jian Chengyun can also look like a literary youth when he is not frizzy.
