Chapter 109: Night Tour of the Pujiang River (Part II)
"Are you going to hold my hand all the time? So how will I eat later? Don't worry, I won't run away. "I was so annoyed and funny by him.
Duan Sirui let go of my hand with some unease, and then smiled awkwardly.
I had to pretend to be relaxed and open the topic: "What are you going to invite me to eat today?" ”
Sure enough, this sentence eased the embarrassment between us a little, and Duan Sirui said "confidentiality" mysteriously, and led the way in front and walked towards the hotel he had booked.
It is a private restaurant leaning on a cruise ship on the edge of the Huangpu River, although the place is small, but you can enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Pujiang River while eating, but it is also very chic. The owner of this shop only accepts reservations for one table of customers every day, and after listening to the owner's self-introduction, it will take at least more than a month to wait for the place to be completed. I glanced at Duan Sirui, who seemed to be in high spirits, did he start queuing up to book a table a month ago?
The first to come up are osmanthus sugar lotus, Sixi roasted bran, choked shrimp and drunken crab, all of which are very famous Shanghai local cold dishes. I finally understood that this private restaurant is based on Shanghai's local cuisine.
I have a sweet tooth, so the fragrant/soft glutinous sugar lotus root and the salty, sweet and refreshing Sixi roasted bran are very much in line with my taste. Then, a series of dishes with all colors and flavors were served. Among them, there are shrimp roe and black cucumber with bright color, soft and glutinous flesh, thick marinade, and mellow taste; It is cooked with eight main ingredients, such as shrimp, chicken, duck gizzard, pork leg, belly, kaiyang, shiitake mushroom, bamboo shoot slices, etc., and is fresh and spicy. There are plump, plump, fat but not greasy eight-treasure duck made of mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, diced ham, diced meat, diced chestnuts, shrimp, lotus seeds, and glutinous rice; There are Songjiang perch with white flesh like snow, fat and tender, fragrant on the tongue and endless aftertaste; There are turquoise and virtuous, wine-scented fried grass heads. These dishes are all classics of Shanghai's local cuisine, which makes my appetite move.
Even more pleasing is the very different cityscapes on both sides of the Pujiang River. On one side, the high-rise buildings in Pudong are lined up one after another, and countless lights illuminate the tower body of the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, and the three balls on the tower body emit red, white and green light, just like a crystal clear "pearl"; The tall Jin Mao Tower, the World Financial Center and the Shanghai Tower, the tallest building in Shanghai, are like glittering pagodas against the backdrop of white lights, complementing the Oriental Pearl. On the other side of Puxi is the bustling Bund. There are various buildings of different styles, such as the Customs House, the Peace Hotel, and so on. Gothic spires, ancient Greek vaults, baroque colonnades, Spanish balconies...... Compete and be beautiful under the colorful lights. The modern and classical buildings on both sides of the Pujiang River echo across the river, playing a symphony of harmonious development.
The good times always pass in a hurry, and Duan Sirui and I soaked up the scenery and food until late at night before slowly pacing back to the Four Seasons Hotel.
At the door of the hotel, Duan Sirui suddenly spoke, breaking the silence of the night: "Qingrui, this morning, I didn't say it casually. Now I seriously ask you to be my girlfriend! ”
I was shocked on the spot, and the shadow of Li Xuanyang appeared in my mind. I blurted out, "You're not for me." ”
"Qingrui, your words are too hurtful."
