After hearing what she said, I immediately felt much calmer and relaxed. I said to her sincerely: "Zhong Feng, I sincerely hope you are happy. You should know that."
She nodded and said to me softly: "I know, of course I know. Brother Feng, I also hope that you can live a normal life earlier."
At this moment, I felt touched and sad in my heart. But I smiled and said to her: "What's wrong with me now? And I think I'm pretty good like this now."
She sighed, and then looked at the time again, "Let's go out to eat. It's almost time. You can go back and do your own thing after we finish eating earlier."
I also looked at the time and found that it was already past five o'clock. I didn't expect that time would fly so fast when I was with her.
When I got outside, I found that all the lights in the restaurant had been turned on, and there was a light mist floating inside, which should be dry ice. The mist made the entire restaurant look misty and hazy, like heaven and earth.
"It's so beautiful." I couldn't help but sigh.
"The most important feature of our place is the environment, followed by the taste of the food. You know this," she said with a smile.
I nodded, "Yeah. Everything has to be unique. Zhong Feng, to be honest, I admire you and envy you because you are very lucky. You have met your current man, and he has the same goals as you.
In this way, with your restaurant, your dreams in this life can be realized. Many of us have our own dreams, but few of them can actually be realized."
She shook her head and said: "You are not completely right. When I was still running Nanyuan Restaurant, one day he came to my restaurant to have dinner with his friends. He also mentioned such an idea inadvertently,
Most people would probably laugh it off after hearing it, because such an idea is too dreamy and seems too far from reality. But I listened carefully and quickly put his idea into practice. So.
, if you dare to think, you must dare to do it. Moreover, in order to do this, in addition to having a certain financial strength, you must also overcome countless difficulties. His creativity is an idea, and I want to turn it into
Reality. At the beginning, we first have to find a place. It is difficult for ordinary people to think that this place is suitable for opening a restaurant, but from the very beginning I hope to find such a place, because according to his vision, returning to nature is what the restaurant requires.
Environment, if I put his creativity in a certain building, the effect would be much worse. Then there is the research and innovation of dishes. You know, the most difficult thing is innovation. Now we are in every restaurant
The dishes you eat are all similar, because they are the result of hundreds of years of practice by chefs of all ages. How to match food, what materials are suitable for what seasonings to make what kind of taste, etc., are all refined over time.
.Now our dishes are all brand new and cannot be eaten elsewhere, which is very difficult."
I seemed to understand a little bit, "So you have considered cooking methods close to Cantonese cuisine, because that way you can maintain the original taste of the food ingredients. Right?"
She smiled and answered me: "That's true. We took a shortcut at this point, because no matter how innovative the dishes are, they must obey the minimum principles. Those principles have been passed by hundreds or even thousands of people.
It took thousands of years of practice to figure it out. For example, we cannot make scrambled eggs with tomatoes spicy, potatoes cannot be used to make kimchi, etc. These are the most basic regular things. Therefore, we first used
The more special materials are the roots, leaves, buds, petals, etc. of various flowers and plants, as well as various edible wild vegetables. The main ingredients are mainly artificially bred game, but also conventional beef, chicken, duck, fish, etc.
Wait. In this way, it will be much easier for us to innovate a whole new set of dishes. It is just like you as officials. If you want to achieve different political achievements, you have to be ingenious, but the principles cannot be
Change, otherwise it will be messed up, and what you do will be unacceptable. Haha! Brother Feng, do you think this is the case? "
I smiled and said, "That makes sense. Zhong Feng, you taught me a lesson today."
She kept chuckling, "So, you made the right choice to stay for dinner today."
I laughed.
Zhong Feng is a smart woman, and she is very confident. This is what makes her most unique.
We walked across a small bridge inside a restaurant. The bridge was made of wood. There was running water under the bridge, and mist was drifting. There were trees on both sides of the bridge, real trees. I knew that this place was designed to create a landscape.
It cost her a lot of money. Moreover, every part of her restaurant was built from perfection.
She is a woman who lives her dream and works hard to realize her dream. This is very amazing.
When we walked across this small bridge, she suddenly asked me: "Brother Feng, what is your dream? I mean your biggest dream."
I smiled bitterly and said: "My dreams are very messy. When I was in middle school, I hoped to become a soldier, but I failed to pass the military academy exam. After I went to college, I dreamed that I could become an excellent doctor in the future and be able to conquer all kinds of diseases.
I had a terminal illness. After graduating from college, I started working. At that time, I realized that my dream was almost ridiculous. Then I told myself that it would be great to become a qualified doctor in this life. Now... now I have no dream.
.”
She looked at me in surprise, "How could that be? Don't you want to be a bigger official in the future? That way you can do more good things for the people?"
I smiled bitterly and shook my head: "I still believe that it is destiny that a person can become an official. As for me now, the first thing I have to do is not to cause trouble, not to be corrupt, and not to derelict in my duties. This is
It’s something you can grasp and control yourself.”
She nodded, "You are very honest. Brother Feng, now I realize that you, the mayor, are not as happy as I am."
I smiled and said: "Yeah. Now I also understand a truth, that is: a person's dream cannot be too complicated. For example, your dream has always been very simple, that is, to open your ideal restaurant. This is not
?You made it happen.”
She immediately laughed, "That's stupid of me, okay? I don't have any lofty ideals. I just want to do the things I like well."
I smiled and said: "Yes. Each of us has limited time and energy, so it is enough to have only one dream and work hard to realize it. Someone once said: If a person persists in doing something, as long as he can persist
Most people can succeed in more than five years, unless the person has a bad character."
She smiled and said: "I think this is what I said to you, right?"
I was suddenly stunned, "Really?" Then I laughed, "It seems like we said something like this when we were together before."
As she was talking, she took me into a small private room. The tables inside were not big, and it was probably a place specially set up for special groups. Her restaurant was very expensive, so she wanted to have such a private room.
It's really a waste of area.
She smiled and said to me: "This is a small private room I set up specifically for couples, and it is also a place where my friends and I gather for a small gathering. By the way, Professor Wu came here for dinner not long ago. She also asked me about
You, I said I haven’t contacted you for a long time.”
I was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she was talking about Wu Yaru. I hurriedly asked her: "How is she now?"
She sighed and said, "She is much older and looks very bad. But I couldn't ask her about her specific situation, and she didn't tell me much. But I can feel that she doesn't seem to be doing well now."
