Yunding Ranch

Chapter 86 Enjoy life
The soft and easy-to-melt butter is in the shape of a cake. You only need to swipe it lightly, and the smooth butter will smudge on the surface of the bread. The fresh and tender color makes people mouth-watering; And different options like olive bread.Before the appetizers are served, the free bread has already demonstrated the thoughtfulness and thoughtfulness of the service.

Lu Li was the first to raise the sherry wine in front of him, and the other three also toasted, "Let's have a good dinner tonight!" After speaking, Lu Li was about to drink, but Fred, who was sitting next to him, grabbed it. Grabbing his wrist, "Wait a minute." Lu Li looked over in confusion.

Fred said dissatisfied, "It's hard to come to a high-end restaurant. Your toast can't be so simple, right? At least say a few more words. Please, you're going to bleed a lot tonight. Are you sure you want to talk about it?"

Seeing Fred's exaggerated expression, as well as Marianne and Alice nodding repeatedly, Lu Li couldn't help but smile, "Thank you for being kind to me today, and emptying out my wallet together..." Before I had time to say the following words, three Everyone laughed loudly, and the exaggerated laughter made everyone around them look at them, and the four of them nodded to everyone quickly, expressing their apologies.

The guests didn't seem to care too much, and many of them kindly raised the cups in front of them, paying tribute to these wanton youth.

Lu Li looked away, looked at the three faces with lingering fears in front of him, felt that it was too funny, and laughed, "Thank you Fred for doing a strip/dress/dance at the bar entrance, making up for my participation in so many The biggest regret after the party, although the end was a bit hot..." Fred was dumbfounded, wanting to defend himself, seeing the giggling expressions of the two ladies next to him, but unable to speak, he was extremely depressed, "Thanks to Marianne for the tutu tucked into the underpants during the interview, I recorded that video all afternoon, and then it was all unusable..."

"Fourteen!" Marianne covered her cheeks in a rare shyness, and it was Fred's turn to be overjoyed.

Before Lu Li could speak, Alice shook her head anxiously. A bright smile appeared in Lu Li's eyes, and Alice's heart beat faster. She didn't know what secret Lu Li was going to reveal. Standing up, he covered Lu Li's mouth with his right hand.

Lu Li's eyes widened, and he lowered his eyes to look at the slender hand on his mouth, with a shocked look on his face.

Only then did Alice realize that the softness from her fingertips, the scorching temperature almost scalded her fingers, and the scorching heat was transmitted up her arms with lightning speed, and her cheeks were dyed with two blush in an instant. , As if the flames were blazing, Alice quickly withdrew her fingers, annoyed at her recklessness—the action just now was really too bold, and she could even feel the scorching gazes of Fred and Marianne.

God, she wanted to bury herself.

"But, you don't have anything special that I want to say." Lu Li's next sentence immediately broke the ambiguous atmosphere at the dinner table. Fred and Marianne struggled to hold back their laughter. Ellie Si bit her lower lip and looked at Lu Li annoyedly, but she didn't know what to say. Lu Li spread his hands to show his innocence, "Unless, you mean, you fell asleep on my shoulder in class back then. , ended up drooling on my favorite opinion shirt. Don't worry, I don't care anymore, that dress will be fine after dry cleaning."

Seeing Lu Li's serious and sincere expression, Alice was completely helpless, unable to laugh or cry. In the end, all her emotions turned into a smile at the corner of her mouth, and she burst out laughing, followed by Fred and Marianne also bowed their heads. Chi Chi laughed, judging from the degree of shaking of the shoulders, it was really hard work for them.

"Anyway, thank you for being able to accompany me through my wonderful college years." Lu Li raised his glass again, "Who is ready to waste tonight?"

Fred was the first to raise his glass to respond, followed by Marianne, and finally Alice. The glasses of the four collided in the air, and then all four drank it boldly, and then put their glasses down in a very heroic manner. On the table, the mood is agitated.

"Sir, do you need to open the champagne now?" The waiter came to the table again and asked politely.

One crow, two crows, three crows... Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay - for the toast, champagne should be more appropriate than sherry, right?Otherwise, why did Lu Li order a bottle of champagne?Then now...

Lu Li smiled and nodded at the waiter, "Yes, open it now, thank you."

After the waiter opened the champagne, he took away the sherry glasses in front of them, then replaced the champagne glasses, filled everyone up one by one again, and left after serving.

During the whole process, the four of them were silent, and looked at each other. After the waiter left, the laughter finally couldn't be held back, and came up from the chest muffled.Sure enough, it was Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden and made a lot of jokes.

When I was still in college, I actually had many good memories. Life was always full of bumps and bumps, but the pressure of life and the urgency of employment seemed to deprive me of the ability to recall happiness, and the vitality gradually became lifeless. Day after day, he was just busy mechanically, studying, working, taking exams, and then reincarnated again. Even if some interesting things happened, he could not find the beauty and happiness hidden in the things.

Just like the dementors in "Harry Potter", losing the ability to find happiness, even positive and beautiful things will become cold and wet.

During the period of staying in Yundian Ranch, after breaking away from the depression and shackles of the steel forest, the whole person suddenly became enlightened. It has nothing to do with money, the future, life, and mentality. As long as you learn to use the right Looking at life with a mentality, everyone can find happiness around them, even if it is just a small happiness.

Just like Fred, Marianne and Alice.

Lu Li still remembered that in his first semester after coming to the United States, talking in English and studying in English were two different things. The unfamiliar foreign language, unfamiliar environment, and unfamiliar learning methods almost crushed his shoulders.However, during those years of walking in the dark in the library, there was always a little brother from Sweden. Their study time was almost similar, and their rest rhythm was almost similar. The two of them always went to the library at two o'clock in the morning. Take a breath of fresh air outside, and then take a long sigh, it seems that you need to reorganize your thoughts, and then devote yourself to learning again.

They never spoke or passed each other by name, but they always greeted each other politely when they met.

In the past, such memories seemed to be hidden behind the pressure, silently accumulating dust.But looking back now, in that darkest time, there was a little partner walking side by side with me, even if it was just a stranger who didn't know the name, that was happiness.Because, at least you're not alone.What a wonderful thing.

Someone once said that life has never lacked happiness and beauty, but it lacks a pair of discovery eyes.Lu Li has always felt that this is useless chicken soup for the soul, because it can't solve any real problems; but now, Lu Li knows that it can't solve the problem directly, but it can change the person who solves the problem, and then let the person solve the problem .

Looking back suddenly, we will be grateful for all the stumbling blocks in the past years, because it is those setbacks that made us who we are now.

This was the real reason why Lu Li invited guests today, not only to thank them for their help, but also to thank them for their company.

"So, how is your foie gras?" Lu Li asked curiously.

Marianne curled her lips, "To be honest, I didn't taste anything special, but I know, it's really delicious, I almost swallowed my tongue, if you want me to describe it, it's thirty dollars the taste of."

This answer immediately made everyone laugh. After each dish was served, the waiter would introduce the raw materials and ingredients in detail, including the cooking method. Marianne ordered foie gras as a starter. According to the introduction, this is a French cuisine. The method is the most high-end among all methods of processing foie gras.

That's why Lu Li asked this question. Fred pointed to the appetizer on his plate, "My taste is very good. The combination of sardines, honey and fennel is surprisingly pleasant. Where's your caviar?"

Lu Li chose sturgeon caviar, "This is the first time I taste caviar, so there is no comparison. But now I finally understand why rich people always like to pair caviar with champagne." Delicate and mellow, elegant And long, like a ballet on the taste buds, people can't help but want to close their eyes and taste it carefully.

Everyone looked at Alice in unison. She ordered lobster soup with black truffle. Lu Li and Fred hesitated for a long time when ordering. It seemed like a pleasure to order this soup.

Alice nodded, "It's really delicious, the taste is very delicate, and it's very sweet. After drinking it, there is still a faint aroma on the lips. However, I think the portion is a little bit less, and I haven't enjoyed it enough yet." Alice lowered her voice and complained, "I thought there were only so few French dishes. Isn't Italian food very bold?"

"I think the chef may be worried that we will ruin the shop." Lu Li also said in a low voice, and the four of them looked at the shiny plate in front of them, there was no crumb left, and they agreed.

Fred picked up his champagne and took a swig, "So, when is the next course? We don't have to eat a meal for four hours like the French do? If it's in the olive garden, I You should fall asleep standing up."

"Calm down, calm down." Lu Li also picked up the champagne glass, "We are high-class people dressed up to attend the dinner party, quality, we all pay attention to quality." After taking a sip of champagne, he felt a little out of breath for a while, and coughed sullenly stand up.
