Chapter 925: Chef Zhao

Seeing that Lin Yin and the three of them were waiting at the door of the hotel early, looking forward to it, Xia Yunjie couldn't help but feel a warm current flowing through his heart, rolled down the window and waved at the three of them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Lin Yin and the three of them saw a BMW 730 car driving in at the beginning, but they didn't realize that Xia Yunjie was sitting inside, until he rolled down the window and waved at them, they found that Brother Jie actually drove a good car, and they couldn't help but greet it in surprise, and at the same time, they secretly sighed in their hearts, what kind of person is Brother Jie, it seems that he is very good abroad. This is true in Italy, and it seems to be the same in the small island nation of Cyprus, where not only do blonde girlfriends come here, but also travel in good cars like the BMW 7 Series.

When Lin Yin and the others caught up, Xia Yunjie had already parked the car and got out of the car.

"You didn't have to wait long, did you?" got out of the car, Xia Yunjie asked with a smile.

"No, no. Why didn't Miss Catherine come?" Lin Yin and the three of them nodded again and again, then looked into the car, and saw that Catherine was not in the car, and asked in some surprise.

"She asked me to say sorry to you, she couldn't come to the past two days because of an emergency, and said that she would invite you to her house for dinner another day, and then apologize to you personally. Xia Yunjie explained with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay. Lin Yin and the others hurriedly said when they heard this, and at the same time they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts. It's really Catherine who is glamorous, and her temperament looks so noble, which makes them very stressed, she didn't come, they can be more comfortable.

Xia Yunjie smiled, and then entered the Four Seasons Hotel together under the support of Lin Yin and the three of them.

The hotel is built right on the beach, facing the direction of the sea, and the terrain is gradually lowering, so from the direction of the sea facing the hotel, the lobby is actually on the second floor, and from the entrance of the road, the lobby looks like it is on the first floor.

The lobby of the hotel is gorgeously and concisely furnished, facing the direction of the sea is all huge transparent glass, which not only makes the whole lobby very transparent and bright, but also allows customers to step into the lobby, stand in the lobby, look through the glass, you can have a view of the beach and the sea, as well as the hotel's open-air restaurant and outdoor swimming pool.

However, the restaurant of the Four Seasons Hotel is on the first floor, and when you go down from the lobby, you feel that the restaurant is built on the basement floor, but when you go down the stairs and see the same huge transparent glass facing the sea, whether it is the beach or the sea, you can see it at a glance, and customers will suddenly find that it is still on the ground.

The Chinese restaurant of the Four Seasons Hotel is furnished in Chinese style, not only the decoration style is dark red tones, mainly wooden materials, revealing the antique taste, but also the decorations placed inside are also Chinese style, there are Tang Sancai, there are Qin terracotta warriors, there are Chinese knots and so on.

The welcoming lady and the waiter are also dressed in Chinese characteristics, all of which are short-sleeved Tang clothes.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Xia Yunjie felt a sense of cordiality as soon as he walked into the Chinese restaurant. The only thing that I am not used to is that the Chinese restaurant here is too quiet, and the people who sit at the table are all high-nosed foreigners. Unlike in China, most people still like a lively atmosphere, especially when eating and eating, talking and laughing, a noisy and lively scene.

"This is where you work now?" Xia Yunjie glanced around and asked with a smile.

"yes, yes. Lin Yin and the three nodded again and again with smiles on their faces.

When the three of them nodded and answered, a waitress in an embroidered Tang costume walked over, looked at Xia Yunjie curiously with a pair of eyes, and then whispered to Lin Yin and the three with a smile: "Lin Yin, is this the friend you want to invite today?"

"Brother Jie, this is Fan Yajun, a native of Tianjin. Lin Yin smiled and introduced to Xia Yunjie.

When people are abroad, it is much more cordial for compatriots to meet each other, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are familiar at first sight. Unlike in China, when guests come to eat, how can there be waiters who ask questions and introduce each other.

Xia Yunjie listened to Lin Yin's introduction and smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Fan Yajun's hand, and said, "Miss Fan, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm going to trouble you more tonight." ā€

"Brother Jie is polite, today you are a guest in our restaurant, please inside. Fan Yajun was about the same age as Lin Yin and the others, and when she saw them calling Xia Yunjie Brother Jie, she called them that, although she secretly thought that Xia Yunjie should be younger than her.

Xia Yunjie smiled noncommittally, and then followed Fan Yajun into the restaurant.

"Brother Jie, can you see that location?" After entering the restaurant, Fan Yajun pointed to a position by the window and asked softly.

"Yes, you can arrange it. Xia Yunjie nodded.

So Fan Yajun led the four of them to the table by the window and sat down. The table is a small round table that can seat six people without being crowded. After Xia Yunjie and the four of them sat down, Fan Yajun took the menu and said, "You guys take a look first, you need to order and call me." ā€

After speaking, Fan Yajun left, but instead of going to the door to greet the guests, she went to the kitchen.

Not long after Fan Yajun went to the kitchen, she walked out with a middle-aged man in a white chef's suit and a tall chef's hat.

After the chef came out, he first greeted the guests who were dining softly one by one, asking if the dishes were to their tastes and if there were any requirements, and finally walked to Xia Yunjie's table.

Before the chef arrived at Xia Yunjie's table, Lin Yin and the three had already stood up, and at this time, Xia Yunjie already knew from Lin Yin that this chef was the head chef of the Chinese restaurant of the Four Seasons Hotel, Zhao Xiaolong from Hong Kong.

Under normal circumstances, Xia Yunjie maintains a humble style, so when he saw Lin Yin and the three of them standing up, he also stood up.

Seeing Xia Yunjie stand up, Chef Zhao hurriedly took two quick steps, and when he walked to him, he had already stretched out his hand to Xia Yunjie with a smile and said, "You must be the compatriot Xia Yunjie Xia who Lin Yin and the others mentioned to me, Mr. Xia, I am very happy to see you, please sit, please sit." ā€

Chef Zhao said that the Chinese Cantonese accent is very heavy, but hearing this accent in a foreign country is very cordial, and this Chef Zhao is also polite, and specially came forward to greet him, which gives people a sense of kinship when they see their compatriots.

"Yes, I'm glad to meet you too. Xia Yunjie shook hands with Chef Zhao, and then sat down with a smile.

"The contemptible person's surname is Zhao, his full name is Zhao Xiaolong, a Hong Kong native, this is my business card. Zhao Xiaolong also sat down, and then handed a business card to Xia Yunjie.

Xia Yunjie didn't have the habit of preparing business cards, and when he saw that Zhao Xiaolong had specially given him a business card, he smiled apologetically at him and said, "I'm sorry, Chef Zhao, I didn't bring a business card." ā€

"It's okay, it's okay, listening to Mr. Xia's accent should be southern. Zhao Xiaolong waved his hand and smiled.

"Yes, from Gangnam Province. Xia Yunjie replied.

"It's not far from our Hong Kong, I heard Lin Yin say, you are here to travel to Cyprus this time, which is rare!" Zhao Xiaolong said.

"I have a friend here, so I came over to take a look, but why did Chef Zhao stay in Hong Kong and come here?" Xia Yunjie asked with some curiosity.

In his opinion, although the climate and environment of Cyprus are very good, it is far less prosperous than Hong Kong, and Hong Kong is also one of the international financial centers.

"Hehe, Hong Kong is good, but the pace of life is too fast, and the pressure of competition is also great, in order to support my family, I have to go to this foreign country to make a living, and Mr. Xia can travel around with a bag at a young age, which cannot be compared!" Zhao Xiaolong sighed.

"What about Chef Zhao's family?" Xia Yunjie asked again.

"They are not used to life in Cyprus and are still in Hong Kong. By the way, since Mr. Xia is from Jiangnan Province, how about I cook a few Jiangnan-style dishes?" Zhao Xiaolong said, just when he mentioned his family, there was a complicated look in his eyes.

"That's a real trouble for you. Xia Yunjie thanked.

"Don't bother, this is originally my job, and you are still Lin Yin's friend, that is, my friend. Zhao Xiaolong laughed and got up and left the table, saying, "Then I'll go and prepare first, and I'll come back to talk to you later." ā€

"This Chef Zhao is a good person. Xia Yunjie waited for Zhao Xiaolong to leave, and then said to Lin Yin and the others.

"Chef Zhao is very good, but I heard that he is more miserable. Lin Yin said in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" Xia Yunjie was not a gossip person, but when he saw that this Zhao Xiaolong was indeed good, he inevitably felt a little curious when he heard this.

"I heard that because he works outside all the year round, his wife can't bear the loneliness, and Hongxing is out of the wall, and she just divorced last year. The child was also awarded to her wife, and he had to send alimony to the family every year. Lin Yin said in a low voice, a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

"I see. Xia Yunjie whispered, and didn't say anything more, but Lin Yin and the three of them talked again, saying how bad his wife was. Originally, when he asked this just now, he still had the intention of helping Zhao Xiaolong, but it was difficult for a Qing official to interrupt family affairs, even if he was a god, he couldn't help this kind of thing.

While talking in a low voice, it didn't take long for Fan Yajun to bring a few plates of dishes, all of which were Jiangnan-style, and a bottle of red wine.

"Chef Zhao said that this bottle of wine is his. Fan Yajun helped open the wine, poured some into each person's glass, and poured the rest into the decanter.

"Brother Jie, Cyprus is the birthplace of wine, and even some of the vine varieties from France have been introduced here, and the wines here are still very good. Lin Yin took the opportunity to introduce the wines of Cyprus.

Xia Yunjie took a sip when he heard this, and sure enough, the taste was very mellow and authentic, not astringent, and nodded and said, "It's really good." ā€

It didn't take long for Xia Yunjie and Lin Yin to eat, drink and chat, and Chef Zhao came out to accompany him again, obviously this Chef Zhao is a more hospitable and affectionate person.

"Brother Xia, what kind of business are you doing, why did you come out to travel around at a young age?" After the two chatted familiarly, Zhao Xiaolong asked, and the title changed from Mr. Xia to Brother Xia.
