Chapter 59: An Unexpected Harvest
Time flies, time flies, in the middle of 'suitability' and 'discomfort', Zhang Muzi has unknowingly stayed in Seoul for nearly two months, with some boring study and life, looking for fun new habits gradually formed, the closer to the joint entrance examination, he felt that life was easier than the beginning.
One evening in the early summer of June, and on Sunday when there was no need to make up classes at night, Zhang Muzi told Gu Qiaona to be 'nervous' for a week according to his newly formed habit, and he wanted to relax, and after school, he didn't go back to 'settle down' at all, so he went directly to the fast food restaurant opposite the 'tutoring center'. Ate two servings of three-ball chocolate ice cream and cooled down.
After that, I called the familiar shop, booked the room and dishes, and took the car to the top Japanese-style restaurant that is only two or three kilometers away from Wenchang Cave, but it can be called two worlds, built in Baitandong, Jiangnan, and the name is vulgar and elegant.
Seoul 'Gangnam' refers to the largest water vein in the territory of the 'Han Dynasty' and the birthplace of the original civilization of the Han Dynasty, which flows through an area of no more than 40 square kilometers on the south bank of the Seoul water system.
Although this area is pitifully small, due to the late development time, the timing coincided with the economic take-off of the Republic of China, and unconsciously gathered most of the wealth essence of the entire golden age of the "Korean Dynasty".
Baektan-dong is the essence of this quintessential area, and the top restaurants in this place have naturally long since gotten rid of the style of showing off their customer status with grandeur.
In addition, Hichimaru's Japanese-style cuisine is already quiet and elegant, so the entire store is separated by rockeries and flowing water, and it is built like a wooden house and grass hut built by himself in the mountains, full of a natural and wild atmosphere.
The reason why Zhang Muzi came to this kind of restaurant with his age and temperament is of course not a gimmick such as coveting some kind of quiet style in the city, but simply because more than a month ago, when he met his asset manager for the first time in Seoul, he inadvertently followed Charles to this restaurant, which claims to serve the world's top breed of beef.
I tasted Charles's hometown specialty, the 'Borneo Shorthorn' from the Scottish Alpine Pastures of the British Isles.
As a result, the taste of this subbreed of cattle, which originated in the Borneo subcontinent of Asia and is recognized as the ancestor of the world's top beef cattle, immediately conquered Zhang Muzi's palate, and he easily became a regular customer of this restaurant.
And because young people come to this kind of 'famous restaurant' alone to dine at this grade and price, and Zhang Muzi's shot is quite generous, so soon, almost all the waiters in the 'Niulan Pavilion' also remembered the appearance of this high school student, dressed ordinary.
However, every time I dined, I only ordered the top "Borneo shorthorn" frost-ridden boy who was directly airlifted into the restaurant by 'British' every day, and the price of luxury agricultural products announced in London that day, combined with the exchange rate of pounds and yuan.
So much so that as soon as he entered the door, four waitresses wearing kimonos with scattered cherry blossom patterns in various colors greeted him at the same time, bending down and bowing like the soft wind blowing willows, and said softly: "Zhang Sang (Mr. Zhang), welcome, 'Juxijian' has been prepared for you, please come with me." ”
Don't think that this kind of hospitality is the characteristic of 'famous' restaurants, but in fact, in a restaurant like this, which is ridiculously expensive in the eyes of the general public, the customer circle is quite closed, and ordinary people enter the restaurant unintentionally, and the waiter may even refuse it because there is no vacancy.
For example, at this time, Zhang Muzi smiled and nodded, and said pretentiously, "Then please take care of me today." When I walked along the cobblestone walkway to the private room I had set, I saw a group of young people who looked like college students showing regretful or relaxed expressions when they passed the front desk made of huge tree stumps.
Someone else unwillingly confirmed: "Is there really no place, it's only six o'clock now, how can it be full so early?"
In the face of this unintentional question, standing behind the front desk, the foreman, who was wearing a flowing Himaru Masamune Tange silk kimono but was still quite beautiful in his mid-teens, showed eight snow-white teeth and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, there are a lot of regular customers who have booked today, so I can only ask you to come back next time." ”
This explanation made the young people helpless, so they could only turn around and leave, but they didn't expect a middle-build, slightly obese young man in the crowd to suddenly pause, looked at Zhang Muzi who was staggered by in surprise and said, "Muzi, why did you come here?"
"Brother Kyeongyeon, uh, Sister Tae-jin and Tae-hee are also there," Zhang Muzi paused for a moment, greeted him, and said with a smile: "Of course I came to the restaurant to eat." ”
An Qingyan, whose personality is too different among the Korean and Korean people, and who is a little elf and eccentric, heard this, patted Zhang Muzi on the shoulder and said: "Do you come to this kind of restaurant for dinner alone, Dafa, it is really worthy of being the only child of a family with three commercial buildings and four 'tutoring centers' in 'Yuanbei'."
We made a lot of determination to celebrate our birthdays, so we came to 'Jiangnan' Baitandong for a party, but there were no seats left. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a young man beside him who was dressed fashionably and had an ordinary face but a thin and toned figure shook his head with a smile and said: "Qingyan, in front of my younger brother, don't talk about yourself so unproductively, okay, didn't I say it, since I have a birthday, then I will be responsible for all the expenses tonight, and you don't say 'weird things'." ”
"Wow, it's worthy of being Zhu Zhengzhe, the chief student of the 'Seoul' Medical College last year, it's really heroic," An Qingyan said with a coaxing applause: "Okay, this one is full, let's go to the restaurant next to it." ”
"Well, take this brother with you, and let's go with you. Zhu Zhengzhe nodded, pointed at Zhang Muzi and said politely.
"I..." Zhang Muzi was stunned, shook his head, and said in return: "No need, I have already booked a room in this store, hey, if you don't mind, you can use it together, you don't need to change restaurants so much." ”
Hearing this, Zhu Zhengzhe hadn't answered, An Qingyan had already asked curiously: "Booked a room, Muzi, didn't you come to eat by yourself?"
"It's yourself. Zhang Muzi naturally didn't say that the reason why he came to 'Niulanting' was to book a room, because the diners of this restaurant are usually very high-end, and in the hall, many people would look sideways at his mouthful of oily food, and found a reason to say: "But when I eat 'Japanese cuisine', I like to have a quiet atmosphere, so I like to eat in the room." ”
"Luxury, it's really an annoying extravagant habit, but today I am blessed by your extravagant habit," An Qingyan asked again with a 'tsk...' sound, "But there are seventeen people here, is the room you set big enough?"
"It should be enough," Zhang Muzi was a little impatient with An Qingyan's verbosity, and said directly without nonsense: "Come with me." After stepping on the stone road and continuing forward, I crossed a rockery covered with moss, and came to a sliding door with bamboo strips as bones, silk cloth as skin, and a three-character wooden sign of 'Juxijian'.
After a pause, the waitress who had been waiting by the door immediately bowed down and pulled the silk door open, revealing a room about 14 or 5 feet in size, with three whole tatami mats on the floor, and a very small and extremely delicate Japanese-style open-air garden with a stream, dwarf cherry blossoms, and bamboo waterwheels.
Taking off his shoes and stepping into the 'Juxi Room', Zhang Muzi saw the Japanese square table placed on the tatami mat in the middle, and there were several plates full of black lacquer plates that were half an inch square, red and white with tender pieces of meat, and quietly swallowed his saliva.
After that, he turned his head to look at the group of young men and women who were following him, and was about to tell the waiter to change the square table into a long table, when he saw that several helpers with towels tied to their heads and dressed in cyan Japanese labor had already moved the four Japanese-style wooden long tables and the matching cushions into the room with great speed, and placed them side by side with their hands and feet.
At the same time, the group of young men and women also walked into the 'Juxijian', looked at the environment, and praised the voice: "Wow, this restaurant is really good...";
"It's really a complete Japanese-style atmosphere, it's like going to 'Himaru'...";
"The layout in the room is completely art, art, it really deserves to be a restaurant in Baitandong...", while sitting down naturally according to the order of the elders and young, unconsciously, Zhang Muzi, who was originally the owner, was squeezed to the bottom position.
After taking their seats, while everyone was still chatting, the waitress in kimono had already served each of them a plainly printed menu.
Seeing that the ingredients written on it were quite high-end, and the general price was two to three times higher than that of ordinary restaurants, no one was embarrassed to order first for a while, but at this time, Zhang Muzi, who was in the corner of the room, shrank his eyes and completely focused on a small semi-finished promotional poster that he had accidentally skimmed.
The poster is a long-haired shawl beside him, fair and delicate skin, and the facial features on the round face look unusually delicate After kneeling down on her knees, she casually placed it on the tatami mat in the tablet to open the page, the pattern like water waves on the azure background has not been completely completed, but the hundreds of various exotic animals as the theme have been completed for the most part.
Zhang Muzi stared at the poster for a while, an excited flush appeared on his cheeks, he took a deep breath, pointed to a body in the center of the body with a streamlined spindle shape, unable to see the head and tail, the pitch-black skin appeared unusually smooth strange creature, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice: "That, may I ask, is this animal a 'Ten Thousand Beasts'?"
