Taking a taxi to Maxim's restaurant, Zhang Yuanyuan looked up at the French letters "MAKCNM" shining in front of him, and couldn't help but raise a smile on his face.
On the way to take a taxi, she has used her mobile phone to search for Maxim's restaurant on the Internet, she learned that this is the first Sino-French joint venture Western restaurant in China, officially opened in 1983, in the 80s, 90s, Maxim restaurant can be described as one of the most foreign places in the imperial capital, is the initial definition of many people for "tall".
Zhang Yuanyuan was happy in his heart, Mr. Jiang chose the place for his first date here, which completely showed his attention to her, but I don't know if Mr. Jiang would like her dress today.
She took a light breath, stabilized her mood, and slowly walked up the stairs, through the transparent glass door, and officially stepped into the dining room.
At a glance, the floor of the restaurant is covered with geometric mahogany veneer, the walls are gilded rattan patterns, the chandeliers and sconces in the shape of maple chestnut leaves, the crystal glass walls that seem to be endless, and the classical frescoes from the Louvre, and the gorgeous colorful ceiling, as if you are in the French court in the 19th century.
The hall is flickering with candlelight, filled with the fragrance of roses, and the music is beautiful and classic, at this moment, romance and elegance, classical and fashion, are vividly interpreted.
A casual glance at someone else's table, red wine, French round snails, creamy mushroom soup, Angus rib's eye steak, vanilla garlic bun......
Although Zhang Yuanyuan has never been to France, and it is the first time to eat Western food in such a formal place, she feels that true French romance is like this.
I didn't see the handsome Mr. Jiang in the hall, but I shouldn't have seen her, Mr. Jiang sent her a text message just now, saying that it was on the second floor.
Compared with the lobby, the second floor is quieter, and the window position can see the prosperity of Chongwenmen West Street.
But she looked around, but she also didn't see Mr. Jiang, who was in her heart.
So, she hesitated for a few seconds and took out the phone to dial it.
"Sorry, the phone you are calling is off, please call again later."
Zhang Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, she thought she had dialed the wrong number, and took a closer look, yes, so she called again, but she still didn't get through.
At this time, she realized that Mr. Jiang actually sent her a message, but she hadn't noticed it before.
"Honey, I suddenly have something to deal with, when you arrive, order food first, order whatever you want, and I'll be here in a while."
She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It turned out that there was something temporary and walked away, thinking about it, after all, Mr. Jiang opened such a big animation company, and Cat and Mouse are so popular now, they must be very busy every day.
At this moment, a waiter walked up to her with a professional smile on his face: "This lady, how can I help you?" ”
Zhang Yuanyuan pursed his lips, looked at her and asked tentatively, "Excuse me, is there a gentleman named Jiang Qiao who has ordered a meal here in advance?" ”
"Yes ladies, please come with me." The waiter nodded slightly.
Zhang Yuanyuan was completely relieved, and followed the waiter to a window dining table, where delicate goblets and knives and forks were placed on the silky chiffon tablecloth, and the chairs were also mahogany, with a very elegant style.
She sat down and looked around at the beautiful interior decoration, the bar full of European aristocratic atmosphere, the elegant stools, and the ubiquitous example of pure French elegance.
She suddenly had an indescribable excitement in her heart, she didn't even dare to think of such a high-end Western restaurant before, but after today, there should be no problem with eating like this.
"Ma'am, do you order first or wait for your friend?"
Zhang Yuanyuan hesitated slightly, it stands to reason that she should wait until Mr. Jiang came before ordering, but she hasn't eaten dinner since she came back from Qitian Animation Company, and her stomach is already hungry at this time.
"Let's order first."
She thought that she would order the dishes first, and when Mr. Jiang came, she could just eat, which was perfect.
And Mr. Jiang also told her in the text message, can you order food first?
"Okay."
Zhang Yuanyuan took the menu, looked at the beautifully made booklet, and once again sighed at the high-end of Maxim's restaurant, and then looked at the price, wow, it's so expensive, a casual dish is hundreds of yuan.
But if it's not expensive, how can it reflect the taste of this restaurant?
"A wild foie gras mushroom soup with black truffle oil."
"Australian scallop with caviar with seasonal vegetables with raspberry juice."
"Iron steak ribeye steak with black pepper sauce."
"Another whipped cream mushroom soup and a French classic game snails."
"Finish with pan-seared sea bass with anchovy prawns, strawberry Napoleon mille-feuille and cranberry red velvet cake."
She ordered eight dishes in one bite, none of which she had ever eaten, but looking at the long name, it was very fragrant.
"Would you like to have some drinks? Lady. The waiter asked.
Zhang Yuanyuan thought about it seriously, drank some red wine on a date, shortened the distance between the two, and could even do something more out of the ordinary with the strength of the wine, which was just enough to pave the way for tonight's unforgettable night in advance.
She blushed slightly and nodded, but looking at the expensive price of red wine, she thought that she didn't spend money herself anyway, so she ordered a bottle of Bordeaux red wine with more than 3,000 yuan.
"Okay ma'am, please wait." The waiter bowed respectfully and left.
After ordering, Zhang Yuanyuan let out a long breath, looked left and right at how others were eating, and took out his mobile phone to check, whether he was holding a fork in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, or a knife in his left hand and a fork in his right hand.
If you don't pay attention to these details, even if you go to a high-end restaurant to eat, you will be seen at a glance that it is a dumpling.
After waiting for a long time, the waiter arranged one dish after another, and the table was full.
She looked down and sniffed the French classical snails, the perfect blend of snail beef, butter, mashed potatoes, egg yolks, and whipped cream, it smelled so good.
It is a famous French dish!
Zhang Yuanyuan swallowed his saliva, and his stomach screamed very angrily. glanced at the time, it was already past eight o'clock, but Mr. Jiang still didn't come.
Resisting the delicious taste, she asked the waiter to open the red wine and pour a third of both goblins.
Time passed minute by minute, and by half past eight, Zhang Yuanyuan couldn't help but be hungry and called Mr. Jiang.
It turned out to be still off.
Come to think of it, Mr. Jiang should have been entangled in official business, but since he said that he was coming, he would definitely come, after all, even the dear was called, and it was obvious that he wanted her body tonight.
So, Zhang Yuanyuan decided not to wait, and ate first.
