Chapter 139 Restaurant-Back to 18, I became rich by spending money
"There's a place selling candied haws here. I haven't had it for a long time. The boss wants a string of original hawthorn ones. Ah He, do you want one?" After parking the car, Wen Yan couldn't wait to run to the crowded place. Nowadays, it is rare to see candied haws sold on the street. After seeing it, she couldn't wait to go up and buy one, and didn't forget to ask her boyfriend behind her.
Meng Qinghe looked at her with amusement. It turned out that she still remembered that she had a boyfriend. She shook her head and said, "Just buy one. You can eat it."
After saying that, he held her hand tightly. There were so many people around, and she might get lost if he wasn't careful, so it was better to hold her hand tightly.
"Stroll around for a while. Don't eat too much from the stalls. Leave some room in your stomach. I'll take you to dinner. There's a star-rated restaurant next door with the best view. I've already booked a private room in advance." He held her hand and advised her worriedly.
It's not easy to book a restaurant here on New Year's Eve. He booked a private room for tonight a month in advance. What if this little idiot eats too much and can't eat anymore? The room was specially prepared for this little foodie.
When Wen Yan heard that he had other plans later, she immediately nodded excitedly. She would definitely control herself.
After walking around for a while, Wen Yan ate half of the candied haws and didn't want to eat anymore because she was tired of it. Then she handed the candied haws in her hand to Meng Qinghe.
He was not surprised at all. Each fruit in this candied haws was quite big. When he bought it, he must have known that she would not want to eat it after eating half of it.
After seeing enough, Meng Qinghe took her to the city wall. The tickets were booked in advance on the official website. The official sold the tickets in advance to prevent too many people from causing congestion tonight.
"There is a lantern show on the city wall, with all kinds of lanterns. Every year, the lanterns will have corresponding themes based on major events that have occurred in the year, and there are also related souvenirs on sale." Meng Qinghe introduced to her as they walked up the stairs.
After going up, what comes into view is a colorful picture. At a glance, there are various animal lanterns and lanterns with different themes, and there are people standing in front of each one.
Wen Yan was indeed very interested in these, and enthusiastically pulled him to the front of each large lantern so that they could see it more clearly.
One of them is the Beauty Lantern, which has a total of six sides, each of which is painted with a picture of a lady. There are also small lanterns on sale next to it, which are specially for tourists to buy.
Wen Yan looked at each beauty painted on the lamp. They were not industrialized beauties processed by modern art, but great beauties from the ancient Tang and Song dynasties. Their every frown and smile were full of charm, and corresponding poems were inscribed next to them.
Wen Yan felt that this lantern was very much to her liking and had a great feel to it. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it, so she picked one from the lanterns on sale nearby.
Each of the lanterns sold had a different beauty on it. Wen Yan picked the lantern with the most beautiful beauty based on her feeling and asked Meng Qinghe to comment on it. "Look, is my lantern the most beautiful?"
Meng Qinghe naturally believed that his girlfriend had the best taste, and replied with a smile, "The one you picked out is naturally the best looking. Is this the one? If there are others you like very much, we can buy a few more."
After thinking for a while, Wen Yan felt that the one in her hand was unique, so she said firmly, "No, the others are not as beautiful as the one in my hand."
Meng Qinghe had no choice but to smile and pay the money.
Wen Yan took a look at the payment interface and found that these lanterns were quite expensive. A small lantern cost 359, but they were made very delicately and were worth the price.
"Let's go, it's almost time. I'll take you to dinner. The fireworks will be at nine o'clock, and it will be almost time after dinner." He held the lantern in one hand and held her hand in the other and walked downstairs.
When they arrived at the restaurant, there was a receptionist at the door. After looking around, Wen Yan found that compared with other restaurants, this one looked not popular at all from the outside, unlike other restaurants that had queues at the door.
"Good evening, both of you. Do you have an appointment?" the receptionist asked politely.
"My last name is Meng, and I booked a room at Lan Pavilion."
All seats in the store are reserved by appointment, and private rooms can only be reserved by members.
After the front desk confirmed their identities, someone came down quickly and asked them to go upstairs.
As soon as I entered the restaurant, I could no longer hear the noise outside, as if I was far away from the downtown area. The sound insulation here was very good and the environment was also very good. Wen Yan nodded in his heart.
Once you enter the private room, a waiter will hand you a hot towel to wipe your hands, help you hang up your coat, and pour you some water.
There was a menu in front of everyone. Wen Yan flipped through it and saw that every photo on it was very appetizing. The prices were also very attractive, with no dish costing less than three figures.
"First, two bowls of fish maw and chicken soup to warm your stomach, then the premium marbled beef and truffle chawanmushi, and then a vegetable. Ah Yan, take a look at the menu to see if there is anything you are interested in. I ordered all the specialties here." He had been here before for a dinner with his family, so he didn't look at the menu and ordered directly.
The main thing is that the soup is very fresh and nutritious, very suitable for girls to drink.
Wen Yan flipped through the menu and thought every dish looked delicious. However, they couldn't finish it all, so they controlled themselves and ordered two of the best-looking dishes. "Let's add a serving of braised pork with baby abalone and a Lanzhou lily caviar. Hmm... let's also have a small plate of broth with kale."
After a moment of hesitation, he decided to give up and said, "I want another dessert, glutinous rice balls with fermented glutinous rice."
She couldn't control her mouth after all.
After ordering the dishes, Meng Qinghe asked all the waiters to leave as there was no need for outsiders to disturb them.
"The service here is good. Each private room has a corresponding waiter. They will watch your glass and refill your wine at any time. They will also explain the dishes to you when they are served. Of course, the best thing here is the taste. As you just saw, the cuisine here is more Cantonese, but the other dishes are also very good.
You can apply for VIP membership later, and then you can come with your friends. Of course, you can also come directly with my name, but no matter who you are, you must make a reservation one day in advance. The private room must be reserved a week in advance. For major holidays, it is a month in advance.
Wen Yan nodded, looking forward to it.
So as long as you have money, the service in any high-end place will be good. For example, a certain Di Lao place that is famous for its service actually has good service at an affordable price. Ordinary people generally don't go to high-end places, so when they compare, they think the service is good. In fact, after getting used to high-end places, they just think it's just like that.
The dishes were served quickly, starting with the soup.
Taking a spoon to scoop up the soup, there were sea cucumbers, fish maw, scallops, a small piece of abalone and chicken. The soup was very delicious. Wen Yan took a sip and felt that this soup must be very nourishing.
She quickly finished the whole bowl of soup and wanted to see if there was a tutorial online so she could make it for her family.
The dishes were served very quickly. Since there weren't many customers at the private restaurant, the serving speed was naturally not slow.
I took a bite of the braised pork, ahhh~
It’s really delicious!!!
I picked up a piece and put it in his bowl. "Eat it quickly. Don't keep looking at me while I eat. This meat is really delicious."
Meng Qinghe knew that the food here must suit her taste. Seeing her eating so happily, he was satisfied. He always wanted to feed Wen Yan to gain weight, but his girlfriend usually ate little at school, so he was helpless.
"As long as you like it, the dishes here can be ordered as takeout for VIPs. If you want to eat them in the future, we can order them often."
Wen Yan nodded and agreed. Although the takeout from high-end restaurants was a bit expensive, it was worth spending money to appease her stomach.
The beef came, and the chef cut the roasted beef into pieces that were just right for your mouth. As soon as it was served, you could smell the overbearing aroma unique to beef.
"Try a piece of beef, it's very tender, eat more."
Seeing Wen Yan eating non-stop, Meng Qinghe was very happy and kept feeding her. Watching her eat was a pleasure. It seemed that he could ask more friends to learn more about this aspect in the future, find more delicious restaurants, and try to feed Wen Yan fat!
