royal family

Louis was sure that he had not forgotten any important details, so he was very curious about the origin of this strange wine.Gao Yuan and the others obviously smelled the scent very quickly. Compared with the cold and tall Louis, they were much more open-minded, and asked the waiter directly about the origin of the wine outside before they were seated.

The waiter smiled and replied: "This is Yumenxi's special wine. It is brewed by our Shaodong himself, using winter snow and various flowers. If you like it, you can try it later."

Gao Yuan frowned suspiciously, stared at the waiter for a long time before translating to Louis. Louis had a bit of surprise on his face: "Winter snow and flower petals? It's really a very characteristic method of country C. I have seen you all In this book, such weird recipes appeared several times, so are they all real?"

The cloak girl and Gao Yuan didn't know how to answer, but the guests who followed had already known about the wine at Yumenxi. After learning that there was still some wine in stock today, many of them subconsciously blurted out and asked the waiter to reserve wine for them. next bottle.Gao Yuan glanced at them in surprise, picked up the menu on the table and flipped through a few pages, and frowned even more when he found the prices of the dishes and drinks.It's not that he can't afford the price. After all, there are many places where meals are more expensive than Yumenxi, but in his opinion, selling a bottle of homemade wine for [-] yuan is too deceitful.The most common single-person set menu on the menu starts at [-] yuan, which only includes three dishes, one noodle, one dessert and one soup.Turning back, the price tags behind the names of the dishes such as abalone, ginseng, and belly are even more scary, and there are many dish names that are so literary that he can't tell the content from the name, and they are often thousands.

Although Gao Yuan is rich, it doesn't mean he likes to be taken advantage of. He immediately pointed to the names of the dishes and asked, "What is this golden bamboo shoot made of?"

The waiter replied simply and rudely: "Carrot."

"..." Gao Yuan glanced at her in disbelief, seeing that the other party didn't intend to feel ashamed of the price of his vegetables at all, so he had to point to the next name, "Then what about Xiangliu Kebu? What is it?"

"Stinky tofu."

"...Then what about Yu Qingfan?"

"It's rapeseed heart."

Rapeseed heart you sell for 380, are you kidding me?

Gao Yuan was almost laughed at by this gangster's attitude of slaughtering people, thinking that it would be better not to eat early and take Louis away.As a result, the other guests at the table didn't understand his intentions at all. Before he finished speaking, they asked with surprise on their faces: "Is there any leftovers for Xiangliu? I'm the last one."

The waiter saw that Gao Yuan and the others were difficult to deal with, so he stopped taking the initiative to talk to them, and replied with a smile while lowering his head and tapping the screen: "Before, it was out of stock because the temperature was not good. The fermentation of Huipai tofu is relatively slow, and the tofu tastes less if it is not marinated thoroughly. It’s authentic. Would you like to add another stinky mandarin fish? The ingredients are just marinated and haven’t been on the menu yet. Eat it with Xiangliu Kebu, not to mention how delicious it is.”

The old customers who knew Yumenxi's ability were almost drooling by her few words, and every time they turned a page, they felt that all the names of the dishes on the color page were quite appetizing.For a while, no one was in the mood to greet Louis and the others.Louis sat stupidly for a while, unable to figure out the words on the menu that were translated into foreign languages ​​with profound meaning, and couldn't understand what the people who ordered the dishes were talking about, so he couldn't help but ask the woman in the cloak beside him. after all.After knowing what the people on the table ordered, they immediately collapsed: "I don't want to eat moldy tofu and fish!"

"It's not like you haven't seen it before." The cloaked girl felt a little hungry when she looked at the picture at the back of the dessert page. She ordered a jade soybean milk and a char siu pancake, and she was too lazy to talk to him.Louis looked like he was about to spit it out, clutched his chest and shook his head vigorously to reject the two "stinky dishes".He has been searching for food for so many years, so he has naturally tasted different flavors from various places. The most unacceptable thing in the food of country C is the "stinky" taste. The good, fragrant and smooth ingredients must be rotten before eating.It is absolutely impossible for him to order this kind of dish in any restaurant, it is even more unacceptable than pig's trotters and chicken feet.He used to think that his bottom line for these slanted foods would be very low, until he accidentally ate a place that was said to be quite authentic stinky tofu, and the smell of moldy cheese and rotten eggs mixed together made him now I still have lingering fears when I think about it.

"It's fine if you don't eat it." The cloaked girl herself really likes to eat stinky tofu, and she can't get used to his attitude of turning pale when she smells the smell, so she directly waved her hand to signal the other party not to bother her.Thinking that he would be at the same dinner table with two stinky dishes in a while, Louis's originally low spirits had faded to nothing, and his appetite was gone.He was very disappointed with the upcoming dining trip that he had hoped for just now, and he glanced at Gao Yuan who was also not fond of this place at the table, and felt a feeling of being a brother in distress.When asked what dishes to eat, I didn't want to study any more, so I ordered a set meal, thought about it, and said that I wanted to drink.

The waiter's dexterous fingers tapped on the screen for a moment, then he raised his head with a smile: "Sorry, the flower brew has just been sold out."

Gao Yuan is already very upset now, and immediately became a little angry when he heard the words: "There are still some just now, why did you suddenly say that they are sold out?"

The waiter's expression remained unchanged: "The last bottle was bought by a customer from Qizhenju next door 15 seconds ago."

He was dumbfounded when he heard the answer, thinking that this place sells wine in seconds!Unable to find fault, Gao Yuan was very powerless to deal with the old fritters of the Yumen seats waiters.He stared at the smiling waiter for a while, convinced by Yumenxi's wonderful service attitude, waved his hand and stopped talking.

The waiter rolled his eyes when he turned to go out. It had been a while since they had come across such a person since the reputation of Yumenxi was released.

It wasn't until after ordering that everyone realized that Louis was not in high spirits, because he hadn't communicated with people other than his group of friends, and no one knew what he was upset about.Seeing him pull the chair to the window with a melancholy expression on his face, the companions looked at each other a few times, and felt that the current atmosphere was weird.

Yan Xi paid attention to their movements the whole time, and also saw the process of Louis and the cloaked woman communicating. Although he didn't hear the specific content of their conversation, the disgust and vomiting expressions on Louis's face were not fake.Yan Xi could guess with his toes that he probably had some opinion on the dishes or the restaurant, and cursed secretly in his heart—Zuo.

The door of the box was knocked lightly a few times, and the waiter outside the cubicle opened the door a little later, his eyes turned around in the box, and fell on Yan Xi: "Mr. Yan Xiao, Young Master Yan is here to find you .”

"Shao Yan?" Yan Xi was stunned for a moment, then stood up nervously instantly, his master held him back, and everyone in the room noticed the waiter's words because of his movement.

Gao Yuan and the group of the cloaked girl exchanged glances together, and the cloaked girl tugged at Louis who was sitting by the bed, and whispered a few words to him.

The door was opened, and Shao Yan walked in with Tian Xiaotian.

He doesn't know how to treat guests, and coming here has nothing to do with other people, and he has never been reduced to trying to please anyone in his life, so Shao Yan kept his face expressionless the whole time, and just glanced at the room lightly.He was busy when Yan Xi called him, and now he has almost forgotten the content of the phone call, only vaguely remembering that Yan Xi said that he would bring a few difficult guests tonight.But what does this have to do with him?

The official spokesperson Tian Xiaotian put a few wine bottles on the table with a smile in his hands: "This is the wine you ordered just now, and I will deliver it to you first by the way."

The people who ordered the wine just now had smiles on their faces, and while politely saying the hard work, they quickly stuffed a few wine bottles into their bags.Just now, when Louis ordered wine and didn't get it, they felt bad. According to the domineering style of Gao Yuan and the others, they didn't know what they would do.Gao Yuan looked really bad when he saw that they were hiding the wine, he paid attention to their movement from the corner of his eye for a while, but his eyes kept falling on Shao Yan who didn't pay attention to them.

Shao Yan's person is a little different from what he imagined. In fact, he didn't seriously imagine what a stranger would be like. At most, he had a subconscious outline in his mind.For those who study cooking skills, especially those who cook Chinese cuisine, it is always inevitable to deal with oily fumes. Even if they don’t become greasy because of this, they will still carry some smoke and smoke on their bodies.Shao Yansiwen's attire made him think at first that Tian Xiaotian, who was wearing a chef's robe, was the master, but he changed his mind after discovering the way the two of them got along. Shao Yan was wearing a white T-shirt with a loose denim jacket, and pants were the most common Solid color body-fitting denim, wearing a pair of ankle-high sneakers, which is more common for young people nowadays, because he has a good figure and white skin, and the reason is inexplicably trendy. Compared with Yan Xi's deliberate attire, he looks more fashionable Be refined.Such a person seems to have nothing to do with kitchen or calligraphy at all. If he hadn't known the inside story, no one would associate him with these two professions.

A smile immediately appeared on the face of the cloaked girl, she was actually just upset with Yan Xi, but had no objection to Yumenxi and Shao Yan.When she first saw Shao Yan's cover photo in the magazine, she felt that the other person looked good, but she didn't expect that the real person she saw now was more delicate than the hard photo.Because of the makeup on when taking the photo, the effect is somewhat powdery, but Shao Yan’s facial features do not need to be modified with these tools at all. In terms of delicacy, it is not much worse than the photo, but it is more A natural and fresh taste.His usual domineering temperament is not something that can be captured at a moment in a hard photo. Standing there naturally makes people unable to take their eyes off.

After being glanced at by Shao Yan when he entered the room, the cloaked girl inexplicably felt her heart beat a little faster. Gao Yuan noticed her nympho from the corner of her eyes, and kicked her under the table with a fly swallowing expression on her face.

"Your uncle!" The cloaked woman shook for a while, supported the table so as not to fall to the ground, kicked Gao Yuan back in surprise and cursed in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"

Gao Yuan was speechless for a moment while clutching the part kicked by the toe of the high heels.

Shao Yan was already used to being watched, so he put a bottle of flower wine in front of Yan Xi, glanced at him up and down, and said: "This is the passion fruit wine that just came out. It’s already been reserved over there, and this bottle is for you. You haven’t been back for a few days? Auntie asked about you a few days ago, remember to call her when you have time.”

Yan Xi looked at him flattered, never expecting that such a good thing would be shared with him.The wine bottle was placed on the table, and the eyes of the other guests on the table were subconsciously attracted.Different from the faint green color of the flower wine, the passion fruit wine is light golden, and the light refracted when it is served in a transparent bottle is much more dazzling.The guests who had just put away a few bottles of flower wine just couldn't take their eyes off the wine bottles. While imagining what the wine would taste like, they looked at it with envy and jealousy.Louis at the table couldn't understand what they were saying. He only saw Shao Yan bringing Tian Xiaotian in to deliver the wine. He thought the wine was for everyone to drink, so he asked Shao Yan, "What is this?"

Shao Yan didn't like foreigners, so when he heard him talking to him, he tugged on Yan Xi's collar and said in a low voice, "What's this guy talking about?"

His hands were so strong that Yan Xi was almost pulled away from his seat. After staggering a few times in a panic, he realized what Shao Yan meant, and he hurried to help answer.

Shao Yan has no interest in socializing with strangers. Seeing Louis chattering endlessly, hearing foreign words hurts his head, he turned around and left: "Then I'll go first."

Yan Xi couldn't resist Louis's attitude of asking for wine from acquaintance, and immediately panicked when he saw him leave. As soon as the door closed, he tried to quickly collect the wine like the few seniors just now, but his hands were pressed by several people around him Living.

"..." Yan Xi wanted to cry, stared at the wine bottle and said slowly, "This is mine..."

Gao Yuan and the others in the first seat didn't speak, but the group of Yan Xi's seniors quit. One or two were full of good words, and they wanted to grab his wine.

Gao Yuan saw that their battle was so lively that it was like a show, he felt it was amused, and looked at each other with a few friends, and they all saw the disapproval in each other's eyes.Isn't it just a bottle of wine, it looks like some fine wine, this group of people are not so new to the world, but their posture is really ugly.

Yan Xi's face was so weak that he had been spoiled by playing, he huddled in his position and slapped himself desperately in the heart——I'm sick! I'm sick!It's okay to bring this group of people to the imperial banquet, now it's all right, even the wine has been robbed, next time he does this kind of thing, he will be a bastard tortoise!

He was unwilling and unwilling to give up. Seeing that this group of people started to unseal, he wanted to rush to snatch them back, but was held down by his teacher. It is definitely a good deal to give up a bottle of wine on this occasion.Yan Xi also knew this truth, but his consciousness couldn't control his body, he watched the wine that could belong to him slowly being unsealed, and the pain in his heart didn't need to be mentioned.

As soon as the wine bottle cap was opened, the disapproving eyes of Gao Yuan and the others were immediately put away.Especially Louis, who straightened his back muscles in an instant.

The person who opened the lid held up the cork and took a few deep breaths intoxicated. The fragrance of passion fruit, which is completely different from that of fresh fruit after brewing, rushed out domineeringly like a flood.There is no tranquility and freshness that fruit wine should have. This taste is rampant, and it invades the highland in the moment when people have no time to resist.Gao Yuan has never seen any kind of wine with such an arrogant aroma. The moment the lid is opened, it almost fills the entire box, which is just as unreasonable as the passion fruit, which is the raw material for brewing it.Louis couldn't help squinting his eyes when he smelled the smell. After taking a deep breath for a while, he stood up and reached out to the person who was holding the wine bottle and was still reluctant to pour it: "Give it to me."

The man shrank his hand subconsciously, and he handed it over in a hurry after he realized who the speaker was.When Louis got the bottle, his temperament became sharper. He stared at the bottle and shook it back and forth to check, took a small white porcelain cup, and poured out half of it with a very solemn gesture. .

After the slightly viscous wine is poured, long strands of wine are pulled out, and the three colors of transparent light gold and snow white are extremely thoughtful.Gao Yuan also sat a little closer, feeling inexplicably in his heart that the pattern on the bottle should be replaced by a five-clawed golden dragon. He saw Louis wipe the wine that was about to flow from the bottle mouth with his fingers and put it into his mouth, wrinkling his face and thinking Looking around, he inexplicably began to salivate.Louis held his fingers in his mouth and didn't move for a while. He was so anxious to see Gao Yuan that he almost died of panic. After a long while, he smashed his mouth and poured the wine in the small wine glass into his mouth without saying anything.

Gao Yuan waited for him to share the wine, and the next moment he saw the other party touch the cork and cover the bottle.

He hesitated for a moment: "...what are you doing?"

Louis smiled, showing his satisfaction after eating the food he liked. He naturally stuffed the bottle back into his coat pocket, and replied, "I want to take it back."

How can there be such a reason!

Gao Yuan didn't do it anymore, he looked like he was not interested just now, but now he wants to eat alone when he encounters something good?The cloaked girl looked at him with a smile, and Gao Yuan held Louis's hands tacitly for a second, and the cloaked girl took out the wine bottle in her pocket!

Louis was stunned: "How can you touch my pocket?"

"You're the one who's shameless first." The cloaked woman spoke bluntly, choked back, and then roughly opened the bottle cap, pouring out all the remaining wine in the small bottle with lightning speed.The small wine glass was half full, just enough to pour twelve glasses. Louis was pressed on the stool and couldn't stop him. He watched the other party put the empty bottle in front of him, and his eyes were filled with the desolation of losing his lover.

The spacious box was filled with the aroma of wine because of the action of the cloaked woman, and Yan Xi's heart was pierced. He got up to distinguish, and tremblingly stretched out his hand to the glass that seemed to be full, but was cut off by Gao Yuan halfway.

Gao Yuan looked at the wine glass for a while, and the source of the aroma was getting closer, but it was not so strong that it was uncomfortable.Although he read all the delicacies, Gao Yuan couldn't help being intoxicated by the sweet taste when he ate this glass of wine. He could somewhat understand why Louis made such an unreasonable move just now, because now he really There is also an urge to take all the wine glasses on the table.

Holding the wine glass, Yan Xi took a sip preciously, the aroma and taste of the wine in his mouth was different from or even better than Huaniang, which made the regret in his heart more intense.He couldn't help thinking, how else can he not pretend to be aggressive and get struck by lightning? He only pretended to be aggressive in the morning, and now the retribution is coming!

The small wine cup was divided instantly, and Louis held his own small cup and was reluctant to drink any more.When the waiter came in to deliver the food, he was taken aback by the smell, and then he saw the foreigner in the room muttering something to him, and Gao Yuan translated on the side: "He said to bring some more of the wine we drank. "

The waiter made a distinction and smiled apologetically: "Sorry, this wine hasn't officially started selling yet."

Louis became anxious immediately when he heard this, grabbed Gao Yuan's clothes and blamed him for holding him down just now, the waiter's action of putting the plate on the table fell into the corner of his eye, and the pagoda-shaped dishes on the plate were taken away part of his attention.

The rich fresh fragrance began to slowly overwhelm the taste left by the passion fruit wine. The smell drifted through the nose with the slowly rising heat. Louis wrinkled his nose and sniffed. Unable to resist the temptation, he could only throw it away angrily. Hands clutching the collar.

His chopsticks are excellent, standard and dexterous, and after probably confirming that the thing on the plate is tofu, he uses a little force.The tofu is extremely tender, and I don't know how to shape it. The outer shell is fried golden and crispy, like a thick filament surrounding the tofu.The thick soup has a rich taste, but it was poured on the crispy skin of the tofu but failed to penetrate. When the tofu was picked up, it dripped heavily into the plate, which did not affect the taste of the tofu at all.

After one bite, the unexpected crispness fills the whole mouth instantly.Louis enjoyed and was puzzled, only felt that the tofu in his mouth had a special taste, softer than clotted tofu, with a special smell that he had never tasted before, like truffle mixed with cinnamon.The special ingredients are combined with the proper soup on the outside, which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, rich and delicious, making people unable to stop once they eat it.

Louis' taste buds activated by the passion fruit wine were instantly satisfied like never before. The tofu was a huge piece, and he stuffed it into his mouth in two or three bites. He couldn't tell what it was made of until he finished eating it.He sniffled, covered his slightly embarrassed eating with his hands, and asked the waiter vaguely in English: "What's the name of this dish?"

Apparently, the waiter had seen such customers a lot, turned a blind eye to his chewing mouth, and replied without changing his face: "This is Xiangliu Kebu, Huipai cuisine. Tofu is very special from ordering to fermentation process. Only The fermentation is thorough enough, and the shell is so crispy when fried. The sauce on the outside is made by our own Shaodong, and it must be eaten while it is hot after pouring it on. It is crispy and crispy. After cooling down, the taste will not be so good."

Louis stared straight at his mouth, chewing noticeably slower.He looked at the few pieces of tofu left on the plate after being looted by everyone, and then distinguished the name of the dish that the waiter said just now, and repeated hesitantly after a few seconds: "Xiangliu..."

He slowly turned his head to look at the cloaked woman who was eating hard. The cloaked woman raised her eyes and gave him a smirk. Louis froze for a moment, then slowly put down his chopsticks and covered his chest.

Consciousness is a little nauseous, but the body is honestly more hungry.

Stinky tofu...

This is actually stinky tofu...

He actually ate a whole piece of stinky tofu...

God……

Tears flashed in Louis' eyes, and he couldn't cry no matter how hard he cried. The waiter made it worse and brought in the stinky salmon covered with finely chopped ingredients. He refused to move his chopsticks in the position.

No one persuaded him to eat, so Gao Yuan quickly snapped off the mandarin fish's tail and put it into his bowl.The well-marinated mandarin fish meat is as firm as a garlic clove, white and delicious, with amazing elasticity.The fish scales are fried and cooked again, soaking up the delicious soup. The mandarin fish meat has a unique flavor.

After eating a fish tail, Gao Yuan was not satisfied, but his stomach became even more frenziedly hungry.The strong fresh fragrance of mandarin fish whetted his appetite and greatly increased his appetite.He couldn't help but regret that he had said too much at the beginning, and now he seems to have lost two points of confidence when he put his chopsticks down.

Louis smelled the stinky smell of mandarin fish with an expression of wanting to stay away, but when he saw Gao Yuan and the others eating, he was a little salivating.The unlucky mandarin fish stared at Louis with grievances, staring at his unrepentant eyes. Louis felt a little terrified, but seeing that a plate of food was about to be divided up, his inexplicable courage overwhelmed the terrified at once.His powerful instinct made him temporarily ignore the terrifying origin of mandarin fish.As soon as the delicious and plump fish was in his mouth, he couldn't help but clenched his fists, and all the thoughts of smelly and fragrant were thrown away in the next second.

The people on Yan Xi's side hardly moved, and Louis and his group of friends ate the fish with the soup until only a clean skeleton remained.Seeing that there was still some time before the next dish was served, Louis wiped his mouth, got up and said, "I'll go out and make a phone call."

No one paid any attention to him, Gao Yuan fiddled with the plate with a careless look, found some fish that slipped through the net, immediately took it out and ate it.Yan Xi felt elated, and always looked at him vaguely, Gao Yuan felt ashamed and couldn't suppress his instinct, he couldn't stand being looked at, so he stared back fiercely.

Yan Xi curled his lips, thinking what the hell, concentration power is not as good as me.

Louis got out of the box and took out his mobile phone to make a call after walking to a secluded corner.Hearing the familiar voice of the friend he hadn't seen for a long time, he lowered his voice and announced excitedly: "Get ready to come to country C quickly, there is work to do."
