Chapter 134 Take her to see the prosperity of the world
After taking the elevator upstairs, not long after, Lin Li took Guan Ju'er to this Western restaurant located on the 36th floor of the Shangri-La Hotel.
This is a very high-end creative French restaurant with an elegant environment and many signature dishes. No matter the appearance or taste of the dishes, they have their own uniqueness.
Because it is located in a five-star hotel, and it is on the 36th floor of a high-rise building. Standing on the staggered steps, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the entire Bund no matter what angle you look out from. Especially the emerald-colored glass
Decorated with purple leather, the layout is gorgeous and low-key. When you look at the Bund at night, you will even feel like you are in the most prosperous place in the world!
The reason why he brought Guan Ju'er here to dine was because, in addition to the most basic style, Lin Li also hoped to leave as deep and a good impression on her as possible on their first date.
His idea was very simple, and it was very consistent with a saying that was later circulated on the Internet, that is, "If she is not deeply involved in the world, take her to see all the prosperity of the world"!
Guan Ju'er is 22 years old this year. She has just graduated from university and started working. She has not experienced much yet. She is right between innocence and maturity. It is time to take her to see all the beautiful things in the world and accompany her.
She witnessed all the processes of curiosity, excitement, happiness, and obsession.
Of course, to achieve this, you cannot do it without certain financial capabilities.
However, this was within Lin Li's ability.
Facts have proved that this is the case. Although the conditions of Guan Ju'er's family are not bad, it is the first time in his life to come to such a high-end restaurant.
Looking at the unique, luxurious and elegant decoration inside, as well as the magnificent night view overlooking the entire Bund, you can imagine how much it touched her soul!
"Xiaoguan, look at what you want to eat, just feel free to eat."
After being received by the waiter and seated in the booth, Lin Li looked at her and said.
Since he is a top chef, he is generally not picky about eating out, but rather pursues enjoyment and the taste of the food itself.
Just when Guan Ju'er opened the menu and saw the prices of the dishes above, his eyelids immediately jumped, and he didn't know where to start.
Lin Li originally wanted her to relax a little so that she could adapt to the environment here as soon as possible and not to worry about the price, but looking at her like this, he knew that she didn't listen to what he said, so he couldn't help but say again: "Then what?
No, let me have some."
Then he asked again, and after learning that she didn't have any food taboos, he directly ordered two avocado king crab rolls and a selected three-course European lobster set as appetizers, and then ordered more
A luxurious seafood platter, which includes lemon prawns, Hokkaido scallops, king crab legs, conch, oysters and razor clams, as well as 10 grams of caviar per person. The final staple is an Australian Wagyu sirloin steak, and
I ordered a black truffle risotto for Guan Juer.
As for the appetizers, desserts, and soups, let the chef do whatever he wants, and in the end only the wine is left.
As a former top tycoon, Lin Li would naturally not make any crazy stunts like spending a lot of money and opening a bottle of Lafite 1982. He invited Guan Ju'er to eat here just to enjoy the style and food here, not
To show off your wealth.
In addition, he didn't have any special pursuit of wine, so each of them only wanted a glass of medium-grade, affordable red wine.
However, although Lin Li felt that he did not order much and only ordered the dishes according to the normal amount of food for two people, and there was no extravagance at all, but every time he ordered a dish, Guan Ju'er, who was sitting opposite him, was frightened.
Even though she didn't know the specific figure of the final bill, she briefly estimated what Lin Li had just ordered and calculated that it was initially as high as three to four thousand yuan, which was equivalent to her entire month's salary!
It wasn't until the waiter left that Guan Ju'er trembled his lips: "It's really too expensive here!"
Although she had already had a hunch that the price of a high-end Western restaurant like this would not be much cheaper, the per capita consumption of 2,000 yuan still shocked her to the extreme.
"It's expensive for a reason. As long as it's worth the money, I hope the food later will not disappoint us."
Lin Li smiled softly and said: "Don't be stressed, Xiaoguan. Just treat it as a one-time experience. After all, we won't be able to come to such an expensive restaurant every day in the future, right?"
Guan Juer originally felt some pressure and felt that the gap between him and Lin Li seemed a bit big, but when he heard his words, he felt ashamed and sweet, and immediately threw all those worries behind his mind.
.
Not long after, the kitchen started serving food.
Because Lin Li was very busy during the day, he didn't eat much at noon. He was already hungry by now, so he took a bite of the pre-meal bread and found that it tasted good. The bread was soft and sweet, the fillings were delicious, and the ham pieces were fresh and fragrant.
tooth.
The characteristic of French cuisine is that it is always a big plate with only a little amount. Seeing Guan Ju'er cautiously gesticulating left and right on the plate in front of him, as if he didn't know where to start, Lin Li immediately laughed.
He said: "Don't worry about any etiquette issues, as long as you have a normal meal."
He then demonstrated it to Guan Ju'er, picked up the fork and finished a dish in two bites.
If it were an ordinary person coming to eat high-end French food, they would probably pay attention to some etiquette to show off, but with Lin Li's identity in the previous world, he would not care about such things. The so-called dining etiquette in Western restaurants is simply used to restrict
Ordinary people, real upper-class people, even if they are squatting on the street and masturbating, there will be people kneeling down and licking their manners and praising their good looks.
After hearing what he said, Guan Ju'er gave up the idea of eating elegantly and tasted the food in front of him casually.
After taking a bite of blue lobster, which she had never eaten before, she immediately felt a deep-sea surf trio that seemed to come from the tip of her tongue. The meat was thick and firm, and the taste was extremely rich and rich.
Paired with the soup made of fresh green beans and fragrant Libyan ham, every little bubble on top can be said to bring out the deliciousness of lobster meat to the extreme.
And its shape is quite three-dimensional, in order to match the flexible and firm shrimp claw meat with the refreshing tomatoes and fragrant cheese, highlighting the original sweet taste of the fresh blue lobster.
While the two were enjoying the delicious food, Lin Li also brought up appropriate topics at the right time and chatted with her.
In this regard, Guan Ju'er and his original incarnation Zhao Qiping do have certain similarities, that is, they both like reading and music.
Under Lin Li's deliberate guidance, Guan Ju'er seemed to be very talkative, and the atmosphere at the dinner table quickly became very harmonious, and the relationship between the two parties quickly became closer!
