Ode to Joy clearly loves you

In the following time, Ming Zhen enjoyed a food journey that delighted all five senses. When each dish came out, images related to the theme of the cuisine would appear on the wall. The corresponding themes of the images were expressed in various ways and described , some are clear and realistic, and some are metaphors that need to be savored carefully; in particular, several dishes are compatible with Chinese style, so the scenes and stories are also oriental. Tang porcelain is magnificent, Song porcelain is elegant and subtle, Ming Dynasty The porcelain is fine and rich.

Tan Zongming also used his deep voice to occasionally talk about a few pieces of porcelain he was familiar with. Ming Zhen listened carefully and asked some porcelain knowledge he wanted to know from time to time.

They are like friends who have known each other for a long time, talking about topics of interest; laughing together, tasting delicious food together, talking about what they know, and don't care about the passage of time at all.

During the intermission, because there were only the two of them as guests, the foreign chef made a special case and asked them if they would like to watch the production process of the delicious food, and the service staff delivered watermelon licorice popsicles.

Ming Zhen looked at the realistic ice products, and reached out to take one.

"This is not allowed." Tan Zongming raised his hand to stop it and said, "This thing is too cold." Stopped, "Patients who seem to have hypothermia should try to avoid cold food as much as possible."

Ming Zhen turned her head when she heard this, and after a while she pouted slightly, looked at the service staff apologetically, and withdrew her hand.

Unexpectedly, Tan Zongming picked one by himself, took a bite in front of her, and smiled, "It's delicious, very refreshing."

"Mister, be careful of your teeth." Ming Zhen's tone was sour.

"Then take a bite." Tan Zongming turned the ice product in his hand to her lips, with a smile on his lips all the time, "Don't bite too much."

Ming Zhen squinted, took a big bite right, and then covered her mouth, "It's so cold." The coldness is because the watermelon has been frozen, and the black seeds on it are seasoned licorice.Even if you know that you have lost your dignity and etiquette, don't think she is afraid.

Tan Zongming showed an expression of 'obviously reminding you to be careful', "But since you choose to eat it, you have to eat it no matter how iced it is."

"Of course, just eat slowly." She covered her lips slightly, trying to suppress the coldness with the temperature in her mouth, but she didn't seem to realize that there was something in his words.

Tan Zongming took the champagne and handed it to her, "What do you think?" Her Shuangji is actually not inferior to this place in terms of service and food. If this is a journey of taste culture that has been set, then Shuangji It is a taste free exercise as you like; Shuangji has an ordering game that is very interesting, that is, the chef cooks the dish he wants according to the customer's description. No matter what the dish is, as long as the customer is willing to wait, the chef will cook it according to the other party's description. system.

"Here? No. [-] in Asia, how can it be bad?" Ming Zhen took the champagne, "A few dishes are really enjoyable for the tip of the tongue, but when the food is no longer just for the taste buds, it is especially necessary for the guests to have a wide range of cultural heritage. Come and enjoy this meal, otherwise you will lack a little enjoyment other than food..." After a pause, "Thus, the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wisdom."

"I don't like it." Tan Zongming was straightforward, "Although the vision and taste are fully satisfied, but..."

"The feeling of being set is too strong." Ming Zhen took the wine glass and touched the glass in his hand lightly. The menu is set with a good story..." This is also what she doesn't like "But the number one in Asia is not for nothing, just one time is enough."

The two drank quite good champagne together, and they both understood that the so-called menu was nothing but the range set by the restaurant operator, and the menu in a thick book was not much different from the two options A and B here. But the former will make the guests feel that there are not so many masters, and here they can only choose A or B; and both of them are more used to giving others choices, so the discomfort arises spontaneously.

"Actually, you are already great." Ming Zhen held her other arm with one hand, "The menu must have been changed in advance, 9 appetizers became 7, and I have already enjoyed a main course." She has already noticed "As expected of Mr. Tan, you can break the rules of the number one restaurant in Asia." Now there are only the two of them who made a reservation for ten people, and the dishes should have been changed.

The two walked to the back kitchen together.

"Compared to Mr. Ming, who can mobilize two forces to clear up all the unfavorable news on the Internet in an instant, I am nothing more than an axe." Even he, Tan Zongming, may not be able to control the Internet rumors so cleanly." It's not worth mentioning. "

"So I can take this meal as an apology." Ming Zhen categorized the reasons for his appearance. In the past two hours, they did not mention the reason for meeting each other, but Ming Zhen brought the words here, so naturally they were going to be crucified. "President Tan's apology, I accept; such an apology with so much thought really put me in a good mood, and I was tired."

"It can make you happy and prove that it is worthwhile for me to do all this." He did not argue, but took the initiative to clink glasses with her, "Although I have been scarred by your rejection; It should be so, but what, what! "

Ming Zhen smiled again, "It's just because the mountain is not the other mountain, so the Jingting Mountain is empty, and I hate seeing each other."

"Two dislikes?" He bowed his head slightly, deepening the curvature of the corners of his mouth. "Single dislike is more accurate."

Ming Zhen's eyes moved, not pure black eyes like flowing glass beads under the light at this moment, "In the second half, I don't mind changing people." This sentence is bilingual, changing people, you can change him, or you can change yourself "Tan Always be the host, so the guest can do as he pleases."

"Ming Zhen." There was a trace of charm in his smile, "Don't even think about changing someone! I'm here on a blind date, and you say I've tried my best, how could I let you escape so easily."

Ming Zhen was not displeased when he heard his confession so frankly, but nodded in agreement, "That's right, after all there will be no next time..."

"It doesn't matter what you say." Tan Zongming reached out and took the champagne from her hand, handed it to the service staff around him, led the seat in person, and returned to the room just now.

At this moment, the dining table has been changed, covered with a whole piece of green turf, with picnic baskets and portable radios, the music is the kind with noisy cards, silver water glasses, red checked tablecloths, and fresh white daisies on the turf. There is also a scent of green grass.

Tan Zongming personally pulled out the chair for her.

Ming Zhen takes her seat.

Tan Zongming went back to his seat and sat down.

The service staff served the dishes, replaced them with corresponding wines, and introduced them how to make the dishes.

Tan Zongming raised his hand and moved his hands.

The service staff all retreated, the light in the room was replaced with a soft light, and all the dazzling projections just now were turned off.

Ming Zhen picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and smiled.

Tan Zongming slowly cut up the red meat with a knife and fork to enjoy the staple food, and put down the knife and fork after eating some, "It's very good, don't you want to try it?"

"Is it because I own more than 20% of Red Star's shares?" Ming Zhen put down her wine glass, "Mr. Tan, has the board of directors of Shengxuan approved the acquisition of Red Star?"

"Yes, I just passed." Tan Zongming wiped his lips with a napkin and put down the napkin. "I must win the Red Star!"

"I've also made my position very clear." As one of the founders of Red Star, Ming Zhen's smile gradually faded because of this gentle man's expression that couldn't reach his eyes, "Okay, I heard your decision !I think this……"

"Mr. Ming is still too young?" Tan Zongming picked up the wine glass, "Don't understand the current situation?"

Ming Zhen puts her hands under the table: This is Tan Zongming's home game, so she can't help but decide by herself, "Mr. Tan is reminding me that 'people are knives and I'm fish'?"

"Ming Zhen, we are on a blind date." What he wants to remind is this "meeting of men and women for the purpose of marriage."

Ming Zhen blinked calmly, "So you should be thankful that my family education is good."

"Then what's wrong with me that you clearly have me in your heart, but you reject people thousands of miles away with your words like a knife." Tan Zongming propped his head on his hands.

Ming Zhen laughed, "Mr. Tan, self-knowledge is the most important thing in a person. I hope you and I will keep this noble spirit."

"You admitted it yourself, yesterday, no, early this morning." Tan Zongming didn't allow her to dodge for a while, "Ming Zhen, the phone record of Andy's call to you in the early morning in your mobile phone is actually I used this number to call you through some technical means Yes, you won't say you don't remember."

Ming Zhen didn't show any expression, "Then I also remember, I told you not to show up, don't send flowers, and don't disturb me."

"Okay, as long as you remember." Tan Zongming ignored her three farewells. "Then let's talk about the blind date. Besides cooking and music, what else do you like to do on weekdays?"

"Actually, I only slept for four hours in two days, and now it's more than ten hours." Ming Zhen lowered her posture, "I'm exhausted, and I may not be able to answer the answer you want in my current state, so I just Let's continue to enjoy the rest of the meal, okay?" When the situation is not in your favor, calmly find a way to decline, show weakness appropriately, and overcome strength with softness.

Tan Zongming kept his eyes on her, watching her who used showing weakness as a retreat, and regained her calmness, "Okay."

"Can I share this matter with Andy?" Ming Zhen picked up the knife and fork and lowered her head to cut the lamb chops.

I really can't take it lightly, the last second showed weakness but immediately counterattacked when people thought they had won "Of course." But he was sure that she would not say to Andy, "Andy and I are old friends, I believe she will support it I."

Ming Zhen put a small piece of mutton into her mouth with a fork, keeping her eyes downcast, "This mutton dish is not as amazing as the foie gras, it's a bit more regular, I have to tell Uncle Qi that there's no need to look forward to this dish, he knows I'm coming Let me just say that I need to express my feelings." The tone was flat, as if chatting, "He seems to have confessed his love to Andy." Put down the knife and fork.

"It must be scarred by rejection like me." Tan Zongming crossed his hands and propped his elbows on the table.

The service staff stepped forward to replace the set of dishes and wine.

"Andy is hesitating." Ming Zhen sat upright, "Don't want to ask me what I think of Uncle Qi?" For Andy.

"I just want to know what you think of me." Tan Zongming was very clear that she deliberately intervened in Andy's affairs, reminding herself that she would always refuse, "Although you are studying science, I am deeply impressed by your emotional side. "

Ming Zhen looked at his slender fingers: They are really the same kind of people, they all know what they want, and at the same time they understand who is out of reach, but they just don't understand how this division appeared between them completely. Different results; he is here, it should be that he has considered all the issues that will be touched between them; according to the investigation he has done, although this man has many romantic affairs, he will not do anything that will damage his career He is smart and shrewd in dealing with complex interpersonal relationships, and he can even be called a master, so he used to distinguish the pros and cons, weigh the pros and cons, and avoid the important ones.

Tan Zongming found that her eyes were focused on his hands: hand control?

"Unmarried, plus points, too many girlfriends, minus points." Ming Zhen moved her eyes away from his hands, and approached the dining table, "Enthusiastically ambitious, plus points, too ambitious, minus points; Emphasizing love and righteousness, plus points, conscientious Belonging, minus points; charming, plus points, hurting, minus points.” This is Qu Xiaoxiao’s way of measuring.

"Have a good impression, bonus points, crush, bonus points." He added.

She made up the knife with "thick skin, minus points, intimidation, minus points."

"It seems that the basic score is very important." Having said so much, the key is the base score. "Eighty? Ninety?"

"The bottom score is not low." Ming Zhen admitted.

Tan Zongming was delighted with her confession, "Leave room for words, followed by 'but, but, what a pity'?"

"The man who wanted my life yelled at me when he was arrested, 'If I dare to like someone, he will kill that person!', and now he has escaped from prison for five years, and I have a crazy personality about this person. Some people know that he is a lunatic but he does what he says." Ming Zhen smiled, "I really want to stop your plan to buy Red Star, and it can't be done in this way; Mr. Tan, secret love is a pantomime, confession may become a tragedy, I accept the tragedy , but never accept the tragedy." He was the only one in his eyes, full of them.

Tan Zongming looked at her, he didn't want to think about other things for a while: knives and candy are still equal.

The service staff appeared at the right time and delivered the next staple food and wine.

"I only slept for four hours in two days, and then I was in a tense state for more than ten hours." Tan Zongming repeated her words, "Let us continue to enjoy the good time of this meal." Toast.

"I wish for it." Ming Zhen also toasted, "Cheers."

Ming Zhen, who had been speaking Chinese all the time, came up with a word that looked like a toast, but Tan Zongming noticed something strange from her smile. In addition to being a word for toasting, this word can also be expressed as-goodbye.
