The most famous French restaurant in Dongyuan City is not too close to where they are now. After all, this is a downtown area, and eating Western food requires attention to the environment. It is definitely not a wise choice to open a Western restaurant in such a downtown area.
Just imagine, no one wants to hear the sound of car horns coming from the street in a very romantic, charming and elegant dining atmosphere, right? How disappointing that would be?
Since Xue Tingting agreed with this proposal, Jiang Wen, as her best friend, naturally couldn't say anything she couldn't say. She looked at Qu Zhiheng and said, "Okay, let's go eat Western food."
With a ratio of three to one, how could he still refuse to go? Qu Zhiheng had nothing to say, so the four of them stopped a taxi, explained the location, and headed straight away.
About twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped. After paying the bill, Qu Zhiheng looked at the green western restaurant in front of him. The creative green decoration at the door gave people a feeling of being very close to nature.
Coupled with the name, you can imagine that the atmosphere inside will definitely be great.
"We're here, let's go in quickly." Xue Tingting was the first to say. For her, it's a good thing to have someone treat her to dinner. She doesn't care who pays the bill.
After saying this, Xue Tingting pulled Jiang Wen and pushed open the door and walked in. Qu Zhiheng paid the fare behind and quietly tugged on Lin Yaxin's clothes who were left behind.
"What for?" Lin Yaxin turned around and asked in a lowered voice.
"Well, you said you wanted to treat me to dinner, but don't blame me for not telling you, the food here is very expensive." Qu Zhiheng said with a blushing face.
Although Qu Zhiheng's family conditions are pretty good, he has never eaten Western food. Firstly, he is not used to and likes eating Western food. Secondly, eating Western food pays attention to the atmosphere. Generally, young men and women are more interested in dating.
His favorite place to eat. And when he and Jiang Wen ate together, Jiang Wen would never let her go to an expensive place, let alone a place like this.
"Don't worry, I can still afford it." Lin Yaxin smiled generously.
"There is one more thing." Qu Zhiheng said calmly.
Lin Yaxin couldn't help but urge: "Can you finish what you want to say at once? What time is it? There are so many cars parked outside this door. No matter how late it is, I don't know if there are still seats." Her worry was not unnecessary.
Yes, Luyin's business has always been very good, especially on weekends like this, which is usually described as hot. But now, there are a lot of cars parked outside Luyin, and I don't know if there are any seats inside.
"Well, I...I...I haven't eaten Western food yet. Please remember to remind me what to do later." Qu Zhiheng said in a low voice.
I thought Lin Yaxin would laugh at herself when she heard this, but Lin Yaxin just said lightly: "You are so stupid. You have never eaten pork and haven't seen a pig run? Wait a minute and see what I do. Can't you just watch it?"
After saying that, Lin Yaxin also entered the green restaurant. Qu Zhiheng thought it right and followed Lin Yaxin into the green restaurant. As expected, the decoration inside is also based on green. However, it is worth mentioning that
The tables and chairs inside are made of logs. Although I know they are fake, they look just like the real thing. Especially when combined with the green carpet under your feet and the blue sky above your head, it gives people a sense of authenticity.
The feeling of returning to nature.
Jiang Wen and Xue Tingting in front had already walked to the stairs on the second floor under the guidance of the waiter, and Lin Yaxin and Qu Zhiheng followed closely.
In front of a four-seater table, the waiter stopped and pulled the chairs for them to sit down. After the four people were seated, the waiter handed the recipe to Qu Zhiheng, who took it and saw this recipe
Using soft sheepskin with various beautiful patterns, it looks particularly elegant and delicate.
"Why is the menu so gorgeous?" Qu Zhiheng muttered in his heart. But he didn't know that the more luxurious a Western restaurant, the more luxurious the menu is. The menu is regarded as the facade of the Western restaurant, and the Western restaurant
The boss has always attached great importance to it and will use the best materials for the cover of the recipes to highlight the luxury of his restaurant.
Fortunately, there were French and Chinese characters on the menu. Qu Zhiheng looked at it for a long time and didn't know what to eat. However, it seems that if you want to eat Western food, you should order steak? As soon as he was about to order steak, Xue Tingting kept being rude.
He grabbed the recipe and said, "I'll order some real ink marks."
However, she was dumbfounded when she took the menu. There were a dazzling array of soups, staple foods, non-staple foods, and desserts. She didn't know what to order.
Jiang Wen saw Xue Tingting looking a little embarrassed, took the menu and said: "Let me order. Should we serve the dishes one by one according to the rules of Western food, or should we just eat a little simple?"
Although these words were spoken to three people, his eyes were clearly directed at Lin Yaxin.
Lin Yaxin said: "Forget it, that would be too troublesome and there is no time. Just order steak, vegetable salad and dessert. By the way, a bottle of wine. Let's have a drink."
Hearing what Lin Yaxin said, Jiang Wen nodded and said to herself: "Foie gras is a famous dish in French cuisine. I have to order it. Give me a chicken liver steak and dessert, ice cream."
With the first person ordering, the rest of the group went quickly. Because of Jiang Wen's words, all four of them ordered a portion of foie gras. As for Lin Yaxin's suggestion of having a glass of wine, the three of them had no objections.
However, they didn't order any wine, and it looked like Lin Yaxin was going to order it.
"Well, are there Patus here?" Lin Yaxin asked the waiter standing on the side.
Hearing Lin Yaxin's words, the waiter's eyes clearly flashed with surprise, but he still nodded and said, "Yes."
"Okay, give us Patus." Lin Yaxin ordered a bottle of Patus.
The value of this wine is that the winery ranks first among the eight famous wineries in the Bordeaux production area. It is currently the king of Bordeaux wines with the best quality and the most expensive price. It has the style of a king. The price is about more than 10,000 yuan per bottle.
Naturally, Qu Zhiheng and Xue Tingting didn't know the price of this wine, otherwise, they would definitely be shocked. Jiang Wen on the other side didn't show anything. Like the two of them, she didn't seem to know about this wine.
price.
Soon, the waiter brought Patus and their orders. In front of each of them, there were four cups, a large cup, a medium cup, a small cup and a slender cup. Qu Zhiheng took it casually
He picked up a wine glass and was about to pour the wine. Jiang Wen, who was sitting next to him, touched him lightly and said, "You got it wrong. The small cup is for white wine, and the medium cup is for red wine. The big cup is for drinking.
For water, the slender glass is for champagne."
When Qu Zhiheng heard this, he put down the small cup with a little embarrassment and picked up the medium cup. Who said that he was a man and couldn't let the three women pour the bar? Isn't that a gentleman?
Qu Zhiheng did not admit his mistake this time and added red wine to everyone's glasses. He was about to pick up the wine glass and take a sip, but was stopped by Lin Yaxin: "Wait a minute, the wine hasn't woken up yet."
Because red wine is called a vital liquid, it is because red wine contains tannic acid (tannicacid). The changes caused by tannic acid after contact with air are very rich. To distinguish the changes in a bottle of wine, it is best to
The best method is to pour 2 cups for the first time after opening the bottle, drink one cup first, and leave the other cup until the end. You can feel it clearly. The change time of each bottle of wine is different. How to discover the wine
Your vitality depends on your own feelings and experiences.
Lin Yaxin was able to stop Qu Zhiheng. She was obviously very experienced in this area. Sure enough, after more than ten minutes, Lin Yaxin brought the wine glass to her delicate nose, smelled it, and said, "You can drink it."
Jiang Wen also picked up the wine glass and took a sip, but shook her head and said, "This wine is a little too long."
Wine does not become more fragrant as it ages. After the peak period of wine aging, it will only get worse, just like beauty also has its twilight years, and then gradually becomes old and yellow and enters the degradation period. Therefore, wine also needs to be drunk at the appropriate time to taste it.
The ultimate flavor.
Lin Yaxin agreed and said: "Yes, it seems that the patus in this restaurant are not very popular."
Qu Zhiheng and Xue Tingting were watching a performance because they also drank Patus, but they couldn't taste any special taste.
With this lesson in pouring wine, Qu Zhiheng finally knew how troublesome it was to eat Western food. He didn't dare to move around casually anymore. He just followed Jiang Wen and Lin Yaxin's example. However, he still knew how to hold a knife in his left hand and a knife in his right hand.
Holding a fork. This time, Qu Zhiheng gained some experience, and Jiang Wen and Lin Yaxin instilled some rules for eating Western food from time to time. For example: when drinking from the cup, you should first swallow the food chewed in your mouth, and then put the knife and fork away.
Place it in a figure eight or cross shape on the plate, wipe your lips clean with a napkin, and then drink wine or water.
When drinking, you need to keep your head straight and sip slowly. When you drink to the end, there is still a little wine left in the glass.
When eating, you should put down your knife and fork. They should be placed on both sides of the plate, with the knife and fork heads facing inward.
Although Lin Yaxin and Jiang Wen had instilled this common sense into Qu Zhiheng, Xue Tingting, who had been eating steak unscrupulously, slowly followed their instructions.
Finally, after finishing the dessert, the Western meal was finished.
Qu Zhiheng looked around and saw that there were no guests dining, and whispered to the three of them: "I won't come here to eat this shabby Western food a second time."
