According to Bai Mei's income level, it is normal consumption to have afternoon tea in a place like this, but when Bai Mei saw the price tag, she was still surprised.
680 yuan per set.
The so-called set is actually an afternoon tea for two people. The set includes a three-layer pastry platter and drinks.
Regardless of the portion size, reputation or environment, it seems that they cannot support the price.
You know, even if you have afternoon tea at the incomparable view of the Bund, it will only cost this price.
It must be the taste.
Bai Mei quickly adjusted her mentality. Since she was going to treat a guest, she should be happy and think more about positive energy.
"It's just a set menu. What else are there to choose from? Let's go." Bai Mei looked at the card-style menu and smiled at Zhou Ya.
"No, it's up to me." Zhou Ya said, waving to the waiter at the bar.
"Mrs. Du, are you going to do the same thing today or do you want a change?"
"According to my usual taste, I'll have a double portion." Zhou Ya seemed to remember something, and said: "By the way, I've had coffee today. I'll replace my portion of coffee with Lianwu Avocado Salad. I'll drink it."
Free water."
"Okay, Mrs. Du, wait a moment."
Bai Mei was in a trance, feeling like she had traveled to Shanghai in the old days. The elegance of a Shanghai-style woman was vividly reflected in Zhou Ya.
And she has that familiar feeling about her, just like greeting friends in your own living room.
"I come here every day when I have time before picking up the kids, so they all recognize me." Zhou Ya said as she suddenly pretended to be Qing Mimi and lowered her voice, "I am their top-up member.
Recharge 20,000 yuan at a time to enjoy a 35% discount, and you can also have a la carte privileges."
Bai Mei wanted to laugh in her heart. This was all a promotional trick deliberately created by the merchants to let rich people like Zhou Ya enjoy a unique sense of dignity. She was all too familiar with this.
But she said: "It's so good, but what if I charge 50,000 yuan?"
Zhou Ya was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Then I guess I have to send it home directly. They don't rely on the scenery to win here."
"Haha," Bai Mei smiled, "the view is not bad. After all, you can see the Huangpu River, and the Pudong New Area is opposite."
"Do you usually dress like this at work? So cool!" Zhou Ya changed the topic, and she could see her sincere appreciation in her eyes.
"Oh, how could that be possible?" Bai Mei said, "I usually wear slim-fitting work clothes. I'm not wearing this because of a blind date."
"A blind date?" Zhou Ya said in surprise, "Miss Bai, you have such good conditions, why do you still want to go on a blind date? Your pursuers are not allowed to line up to go to France?"
"That would be great if that's the case," Bai Mei sighed and said, "I have failed 32 times. Anyway, I have made a formal decision today. I will refuse to go on blind dates from now on. I would rather give up than give in."
"Then I, the matchmaker, will be unemployed before I even start my job." Zhou Ya said humorously.
The waiter came with a dining cart and placed the pastries in place one by one.
There are only four items in total, divided into two parts and placed separately.
"This is my favorite flavor. How about you try my recommendation?"
Bai Mei took a bite and was immediately amazed by the cake in her mouth!
It feels so dense and delicate, and its silky smoothness makes you want to take another sip.
"It's delicious! It's really great!" Bai Mei said convincingly, "It's recommended by an expert."
"This is an authentic French Daluoyou. This pastry chef was formerly a master chef appointed by the Elysee Palace. He has three Michelin stars. He stayed here because he married a Chinese wife and liked Shanghai." p>
Bai Mei listened with gusto, and the taste buds in her mouth were blooming like spring breeze and rain. It was naturally enjoyable.
"And look at the appearance of this pastry. It has added Baroque style culture into it, making it more exotic. Eating is like enjoying a symphony of classical music. Isn't it a great deal?" Zhou Ya looked like a very good person.
The sensational explanation tries to resonate with Bai Mei.
"I made a profit, but I won't know whether it's a good deal or not until I pay the bill." Bai Mei replied humorously.
The two had a great time chatting while eating.
Naturally, the conversation turned to Zhou Ya.
It turns out that Zhou Ya is a full-time wife with a daughter and a son. The daughter has just entered elementary school and the son has just entered kindergarten.
Every day, picking up and dropping off her children is her main job, and it is also her opportunity to go out and show herself.
Therefore, she likes to dress herself beautifully and delicately.
For a full-time housewife, the school entrance is the biggest stage in their life.
Of course, this place for afternoon tea is the celebrity backstage where Zhou Ya rewards herself, just think of it as a big-name dressing room.
This is also where her true temperament comes from.
Zhou Ya told Bai Mei that the reason why she wanted to change her house was because of her mother-in-law's suggestion to replace her current house with a villa. The old man would pay for the difference in replacement price and give decorations as gifts, if it involved re-decoration.
"I'm envious, your husband's family is really rich." Bai Mei couldn't help but admire.
When the two communicated to this extent, they naturally took a big step towards becoming best friends.
"What's there to envy? You just give it to me for free, with conditions." Zhou Ya complained like a little girl without a fortune.
Invisibly, the affinity value is instantly filled up.
"If it were me, I would have to agree to any condition!" Bai Mei was away due to work, so she naturally wanted to sing praises to Zhou Ya's mother-in-law.
If there were more such good Chinese mother-in-laws, she would be truly blessed and would have to sell as many houses as possible.
"Will you agree to have three children?" Zhou Ya asked back.
"This... I definitely can't answer it. I don't know how hard it is to take care of children and how painful it is to give birth," Bai Mei faltered, "But wouldn't it be more lively with more children?"
It can be seen that Bai Mei has not seriously considered the issue of children, so she seems very ambiguous.
It's no wonder that her marriage hasn't been settled yet, and it's really too early to think about children and it's hard for her.
As smart as a white rose, when she saw the displeasure on Zhou Ya's face, she instantly understood what women have in common.
"Yes, what age are we now? They still treat us as fertility machines and bring chips with them. Do you think this is a reward or a threat?" Bai Mei said seriously, "I really can't think about it."
Seeing that her difficulties were understood, Zhou Ya felt relieved. "I believe that marriage is the end of love, and children are naturally the fruit of a couple's relationship. I think two children are enough, and there is no need for a third one."<
/p>
Saying that, Zhou Ya took a big bite of the cake.
Bai Mei lowered her head, silently eating and thinking: There is clearly a story in this expression and attitude! Could it be... Mr. Du... Oh, there is something in the words here, it's not easy to guess. It's like entering a wealthy family and it's like the sea.
