The man was full of praise, "This is the best sauce ever!" Even the plates! Extreme! ”

Lan Eucalyptus looked down at the plate, only to see a pure white high-legged French porcelain plate arranged like a painting, and the sauce was sparsely drizzled on the vegetarian foie gras, which was both seasoning and embellishment, and couldn't help but sigh, "Eating, if it is a ritual, is inseparable from the selection of utensils, and this item alone is already very good." Therefore, I like all kinds of food, but I am not overly obsessed with it. ”

At this time, Zhang Zisong also entered the café after parking the car. He walked straight to Mengshi and sat down, chatted a few words, vaguely felt that there were eyes looking at him, looked up and saw a man at the next table nodding and smiling at him, so he greeted politely, "My name is Zhang Zisong, this brother, how do you call you?" ”

"Chu Zehao. Fortunately! With that, Zehao stepped forward and handed Zisong the cigarette case with the lid open. Zisong habitually bowed his hand, "Thank you, I don't smoke." ”

Chu Zehao skillfully took out a cigarette from the Saint Laurent brand cigarette case. YSL Yves Saint Laurent is also hard to see, the cigarettes are good cigarettes, but they are too difficult to buy, and this box in hand is still the inventory brought back from France before. The French version of the packaging of Saint Laurent has the nobility and elegance of Western style, and it is low-key and luxurious.

Every time Zehao saw such a package, he thought, no wonder nine times out of ten French friends smoke. In France, whether familiar or unfamiliar people meet, they don't like to talk about the weather like the British, and they don't open their mouths like the Chinese and ask, "Have you eaten?" "There is a medium between the French and cigarettes.

While thinking about it, Zehao reached out and took out the Dupont lighter from the pocket of his trousers, slowly opened the hood, and made a "clang" sound. This is the signature sound of the Dupont lighter, and it is made by a metal block mounted inside the hood, and one can even adjust the sound frequency like a piano.

Zehao skillfully lit a cigarette on the flames, took a puff of cigarette in his mouth, tilted his head slightly, the smoke slowly spit out from his mouth, and played with the lighter in his hand casually.

This lighter is an old thing that Zehao brought with him, and he bought it when he first came to France to study, but the luster on it has been new for a long time. The lighter has a beautiful shape and a special design, using 24K gold casing to press the edge, and the fuselage is coated with Chinese lacquer mixed with "gold sand", engraved with exquisite patterns and ornaments, and the workmanship is very exquisite.

Zisong looked at it in his eyes, "Brother has good taste!. Dupont is the Rolls-Royce of lighters, and the lacquer model is more expensive than the gold-plated one! Zehao smiled inwardly, "Big brother really knows the goods!" The origins of traditional Chinese enamel production can no longer be traced, but during the Ming Dynasty in the eighteenth century, enamel products reached their peak in China and later spread to the European continent. When I was studying in France, this lighter was my longing for my homeland. ”

Zehao suddenly remembered that another classmate in France had told him that the production of lighters has to go through dozens of processes such as forging, molding, grinding, coloring, and polishing, and all of them are handmade. The Chinese lacquer used in it is full of color, and the sap used to make the enamel is all from the East, and the sap is collected in small bamboo tubes from June to November every year, and then transported to the French Dupont enamel factory in large wooden barrels, the enamel sap must be isolated from the dust and Egyptian sun, and the sap will be slowly poured from the barrel to another container layer by layer, and the upper layer will be brighter, so it will be used in the final process; Other layers of sap are used in the preparation process, and the formation of black enamel is made by mixing transparent enamel with an appropriate amount of iron.

The colors of the enamel range from marble green, stripes, tortoiseshell brown and late-night blue. Because of the traditional lacquer-making techniques, through countless experiments and sophistication of oriental craftsmen, the production of ingenious masterpieces. The process of making enamel is very mysterious, and the production of a Dupont enamel fire machine must go through 492 processes and 640 inspection procedures. The viscosity of the enamel varies according to the climate, the age of the tree and the place of origin, and each craftsman has his own method, so there is no similarity to preserve its uniqueness. Therefore, any two enamel lighters of the same color and different periods will have slight differences. This also makes the enamel statue covered with a mysterious light veil, exuding a sense of the times and an irresistible unique charm.

The background music playing in the café begins to shift to E major, with four horns playing the theme in a duet, and with the accompaniment of the harp, the sincere feelings flow through the music. The harmony of strings and woodwinds gradually calms down the grandeur and ends with a harp.
