"Let's not bring Tian Zhuo this time. Haven't you told him yet? Let's go out for dinner tonight. I'll invite Tian Zhuo out for dinner in a few days." Tian Tian said.
"That's fine!" Gu Zhao also wanted to be alone with Tian Tian. When he heard Tian Tian's proposal, he immediately agreed.
After the two of them made a happy decision, they changed into clean clothes, and Gu Zhao rode his bicycle and took Tian Tian to the restaurant he had booked in advance.
Tian Tian doesn't like Western food, she prefers Chinese food. However, she is a little curious about modern Western food, so she wants to try it.
After arriving, there were not many dishes that Tian Tian could eat, as she was a bit picky about Western food, so she only ordered a steak, a bowl of cream and mushroom soup, and a French bread, nothing else.
Gu Zhao ordered a plate of pasta and a serving of snails.
Tian Tian looked at the snails and found it a little hard to accept. She didn't know why, with so many delicious foods, Westerners chose to eat snails.
But later I thought, maybe they eat snails the same way as the Chinese eat field snails. It just so happens that Tian Tian, as a field snail spirit in her previous life, doesn't eat field snails either.
Therefore, for Tian Tian, she is not sensitive to snails.
The two of them ate all the food they ordered and were only about 80% full. The money they spent could have allowed them to have two or three meals in different state-owned restaurants. The portions were large and one plate was enough to fill their stomachs.
But since we are here to eat Western food, we are here for this feeling and experience, so the price may be a little higher, but Tian Tian can accept that.
After dinner, it was already late, it was nine o'clock, the street lights outside were on, and Gu Zhao and Tian Tian went to the parking shed together to get their bicycles.
Most Western restaurants open late. At nine o'clock, there was still a large group of people sitting in the restaurant. There were also many cars parked outside, including cars, bicycles, and even a few motorcycles.
The restaurant was brightly lit, and there were many cars parked outside. In today's terms, these cars are considered luxury cars, and to some extent, they are also considered to be busy cars.
Tian Tian sat on the back seat of Gu Zhao's bicycle, leaning against his back, sighed, and said, "It's too tiring to eat here. Although the food they eat is indeed very different from what we eat, it takes so long to eat a meal. I can't bear it."
Tian Tian really likes to eat a mouthful of rice and stuff it full. She especially likes to eat vegetables with rice. For example, the three fresh vegetables from Northeast China are particularly suitable for mixing with rice. The rice is coated with rich sauce, and it is extremely fresh and fragrant in one bite, which can give people a very, very great sense of satisfaction.
But when you go out to eat Western food, you have to pay attention to your dining etiquette. You can't stuff the whole steak into your mouth, and you can't have your mouth full of sauce. It doesn't look good.
So Tian Tian pretended to be elegant and cut the steak into small pieces and ate it bite by bite. In the end, she ate a lot, but she didn't feel any satisfaction at all. Now that she had finished eating, her stomach was empty.
"Let's make another bowl of noodles when we get home tonight. Didn't your mother bring you a bowl of soybean paste? Fry an egg paste and cook some boiled noodles!" Gu Zhao was also a little hungry.
He is a man, so his appetite can only be bigger than Tian Tian's. What's more, the food he ordered was less than what Tian Tian ordered, so it was not enough for him to eat.
So the two of them got home at around nine o'clock in the evening, turned on the lights, and ran to the kitchen to cook another bowl of boiled noodles. The noodles were rich in flavor, wrapped in colorful and oily egg sauce, and dotted with green chopped green onions. When you take a bite, the salty fragrance of the sauce attacks your taste buds, making you finally enjoy and feel satisfied with eating.
"Our Chinese noodles are still delicious, unlike those foreign ones. After eating them, you feel like you haven't eaten anything!" said Tian Tian.
It's not like crossing the water, which gives people a sense of security that they can fill their stomachs.
After eating the noodles, the two were very satisfied and didn't want to wash the dishes. They went to bed a little late. Usually they went to bed around eight o'clock, but today it was already nine o'clock when they finished eating in the restaurant, and it was already ten o'clock when they got home and finished eating the noodles. Both of them were full and sleepy and wanted to go to bed immediately.
So I piled the bowls in the basin, ready to wash them tomorrow morning, and then went to bed after washing up.
Although I feel that Western food nowadays is not that delicious, Tian Tian mentioned before that she would treat Tian Zhuo to a meal. He should go there to broaden his horizons. Before he had eaten it, he thought it was some kind of delicacies from land and sea. Only after he had eaten it did he know the taste. He would no longer think that Western food was some high-end food and would no longer yearn for it.
Tian Tian asked Gu Zhao for his phone number, booked a table at the restaurant, and took Tian Zhuo to try the food at noon.
It was Tian Zhuo's first time to attend such an occasion. Even though he had prepared himself mentally on the way, he was still a little nervous when he actually arrived at the restaurant.
The moment he opened the menu and saw the prices, Tian Zhuo wanted to stand up and leave.
Although Tian Zhuo didn't do it in the end, he flipped through a few pages of the menu and said to Tian Tian: "Sister, the prices on this menu are too expensive, right? Let's not eat here."
Tian Zhuo spoke so loudly that people at the next table could hear him clearly.
The waiter who was waiting for them to order naturally heard it, and couldn't help showing a look of contempt on his face. Those who can come to the Western restaurant to eat are not rich, but they are all from a well-off family, so when they come to eat, they basically don't consider the price issue, they just order when they come, which is very direct.
It is very rare to see people like Tian Zhuo who come here and still consider the price of the food. Especially since Tian Zhuo is wearing very ordinary coarse cloth clothes and his skin is very dark and rough. You can tell at a glance that he is a country boy. He must come here to eat just to save face.
Tian Tian didn't feel embarrassed, but smiled as she flipped through the menu and said, "It's okay, let's try it. After knowing what Western food tastes like, we won't come here again. We've been thinking about it in our hearts. This will also broaden our horizons."
"Just order with confidence! I must have brought enough money to invite you to dinner, so you don't have to worry about not being able to pay! Just sit down and order." After saying that, Tian Tian ordered a bowl of pasta and nothing else.
She had a full meal at noon, so she didn't have the mood to eat anything else. Besides, she didn't expect to be full here. She came here mainly to keep Tian Zhuo company.
She tried Gu Zhao's pasta yesterday and thought it was very good, so she ordered a bowl of pasta today.
When the waiter heard that Tian Tian only ordered one serving of pasta, he thought she couldn't afford anything else, and the look in his eyes became even more contemptuous.
Tian Tian had already noticed the waiter's gaze. Because she had worked everywhere in her previous life, she was very sensitive to other people's gazes.
Moreover, in her previous life, when she accompanied a very rich roommate to a luxury goods counter to buy something, the cashier at that time looked at Tian Tian with this kind of eyes.
Tian Tian had gone there with her roommate, and she had no plans to buy anything. She also knew that with his financial strength at that time, it was indeed a bit too much for him to buy luxury goods. She had gone there with the idea of wanting to experience more worldly things.
But the look in the teller's eyes really made Tian Tian feel uncomfortable, so she went outside the store to wait for her roommate.
Her roommate also noticed that the cashier looked down on Tian Tian, so she immediately called another cashier who was very nice and smiling, bought a bunch of things, packed them up, and took Tian Tian away.
At that time, Tian Tian would feel uncomfortable because of other people’s looks, but now she doesn’t care anymore.
After all, her two lives combined are almost fifty years old. If she still cares about such a small matter, then she has lived in vain.
But what surprised Tian Tian was that Tian Zhuo didn't care at all about what other people thought. Perhaps he didn't notice the contempt, and he muttered to himself while flipping through the menu.
“It’s too expensive!”
“It doesn’t taste good!”
“This dish doesn’t look very good!”
"There's only so much food on a plate. It's not enough to fill you up!"
The waitress next to him originally looked down on Tian Zhuo in her heart, but after hearing Tian Zhuo's complaints, she felt a little uncomfortable and the smile on her face became forced.
"Sir! Our dishes are made with very sophisticated ingredients. The raw materials are different from what you usually eat in restaurants! So the price will be a little bit higher, but the quality of the dishes is definitely worth the price."
"What's the matter with quality? There's no need to be so particular about eating. As long as it can fill your stomach, it's enough!" Tian Zhuo complained in a low voice.
However, after looking through the menu countless times, Tian Zhuo still ordered a paella.
Although Tian Tian had never eaten paella in this restaurant, she saw others eating paella yesterday. It was just a small round bowl placed on a plate. Judging from the amount of rice, the bowl was only the size of a palm. Even if Tian Zhuo was at an age when he could eat, it probably wasn't enough for him.
So Tian Tian opened the menu again and added a few dishes that looked larger and more filling, such as a different flavor of pasta, a soup, and a stew similar to vegetable chowder.
The waiter was relieved to see that Tian Tian and the others had finally ordered their dishes, but he felt even more contemptuous in his heart. People who dine in this restaurant are very particular about ordering dishes. They have a set order for serving dishes, such as what the appetizer is, what the main course is, and what the dessert is.
But there is no order to the dishes of Kantian Dessert, they just look messy and at first glance, they are all main dishes.
"Let's have another dessert!" Tian Tian was not very fond of other dishes, but she still liked the desserts here. The main reason was that she really wanted to eat various ice creams and cakes.
