Chapter 61 Wedding Dress
"How about beef noodles, the same coarse noodles?" Zhou Qingti saw that he didn't know what to order, so he helped him make a decision.
"Okay." Lu Yanzhi had no objection, as long as he could taste her old taste.
"Two more servings of short ribs." The short ribs in this restaurant are marinated with curry powder, which is really delicious. You can eat as much as you want when you come here.
The tripe noodles were soon served on the table. Zhou Qingti skillfully took the jar of chili sauce from the table, opened it and added two spoonfuls.
This chili sauce is the boss's secret recipe, it's dry and fragrant.
Lu Yanzhi took a bite of the original beef noodles and found it delicious. The beef was soft, tender, salty and fragrant, the soup was full of meaty aroma, and the vermicelli was smooth and chewy.
He also followed Zhou Qingti's example and added a spoonful of chili sauce, which enhanced the aroma and made it even more fragrant.
Zhou Qingti ate the noodles with big mouthfuls of satisfaction, not even having time to talk to Lu Yanzhi. She even added some vinegar in the middle, and it was so delicious that she even drank the soup.
After eating, he finally had time to ask Lu Yanzhi: "Is it delicious?"
Lu Yanzhi nodded: "It's delicious."
He also drank up the soup. Zhou Qingti looked proud that his favorite thing was recognized.
As Zhou Qingti was about to scan the QR code to pay, Lu Yanzhi said, "How about having hot pot at home tonight? Take some of this meat home?"
It turned out that this was what was waiting for her, but she was also craving for it, so she asked the proprietress to pack up a portion of braised tripe and beef.
Coming out of the shop, Lu Yanzhi was still eager to try: "I hope I can taste more of the delicacies you've had before."
Zhou Qingti looked at him: "Aren't you indifferent to food?"
Lu Yanzhi: "But I have feelings for your past." Walk the path you walked and feel the evening breeze you felt.
Zhou Qingti leaned closer to him and smiled sweetly: "My past was a bit boring, not as exciting as it is now with you."
I went to school step by step, but was tortured to the point of baldness by the college entrance examination. My parents said: Everything will be fine once you go to college.
The result was not much better, and the parents said: It will be fine once you get a job.
It's like a donkey with a carrot hanging in front of it, being coaxed into walking around in circles on the same old path.
I became much happier after opening the dessert shop. I still walked in circles, but the carrots were replaced by small cakes.
After meeting Lu Yan, he untied the reins that bound her and she experienced the joy of running wild.
Lu Yanzhi rubbed her round head: "Me too."
…
Lu Yanzhi thought he could just hold his wife at home and be affectionate with her in the afternoon, but the old lady called them to a cheongsam studio.
She said she wanted to order a Chinese-style dress. The store was located in an alley in the downtown area, which gave it a romantic feel amidst the hustle and bustle of life.
The boss is a middle-aged woman with an elegant temperament. Her face has the calmness and tranquility of time. Her black hair is loosely tied with a jade hairpin.
She has bright red lips, dark brown wide-leg trousers, a beige long-sleeved jacket, and a silk scarf of the same color around her neck.
Her earlobes are adorned with pearl and jade earrings, giving her an oriental aesthetic.
Zhou Qingti admired in his heart: Elegant, so elegant, she must love traditional Chinese costumes.
Old Mrs. Lu was a VIP customer here, and she made them a pot of floral tea as soon as she arrived.
"My grandson is getting married, congratulations." The boss's surname is Qu, and her voice is the standard soft and sweet voice of a woman from the Jiangnan water town.
There were many cheongsams and embroidered robes hanging on the ready-made clothing display rack. Mrs. Lu was knowledgeable about the business, so she asked the boss to take out the "huang" (gown with dragon and phoenix pattern) from the gown and show it to Zhou Qingti.
The dragon and phoenix gown has three-quarter straight sleeves and a straight skirt, which makes it look slimmer than the embroidered robe. The dragon and phoenix gown can be divided into five grades according to the different densities of gold and silver thread embroidery and the proportion of red and gold.
The most advanced one is the Guahuang, in which red is almost invisible, and the patterns embroidered with gold thread are luxurious and majestic.
All the dragon and phoenix gowns are hand-embroidered stitch by stitch and are very precious.
The dragon and phoenix gown culture was fortunately preserved only in Guangdong during the "interruption period of Chinese clothing", so the authentic dragon and phoenix gown uses the Cantonese embroidery method.
The dragon and phoenix gown symbolizes wealth and happiness. In traditional Chinese customs, the dragon and phoenix are symbols of status, and the other symbolizes inheritance, meaning that blessings are passed down from generation to generation.
We are in a rush to get a custom piece made now and have it completed before Zhou Qingti's wedding.
But Mrs. Lu has the money, so there is no need to worry about not being able to complete it.
Zhou Qingti and Lu Yanzhi both took the clothes in to try them on, and Boss Qu went in to help her put them on.
"You have a great figure, and the dragon and phoenix gown is especially suitable for you."
It was the first time that Zhou Qingti knew the difference between the dragon and phoenix gown and the Xiuhe gown.
Since they are all top-notch, as long as they look good, you can measure the size and start making them.
The first time I saw Lu Yanzhi wearing a Chinese gown, it was bright red, and he looked quite pleasing to the eye.
Like a dandy prince in ancient times, Zhou Qingti looks more noble and gentle when wearing a dragon and phoenix gown.
The two admired each other and decided on the Chinese-style dress.
Next, they had to choose the bride's headdress and round fan. Zhou Qingti sighed as she chose.
"Chinese design is so beautiful. Our ancestors' aesthetic taste is truly world-class."
There were so many styles that it was overwhelming. In the end, Zhou Qingti chose two dough fans.
One is light beige, embroidered with crabapple flowers and cranes, and has a wind chime chain hanging on the handle.
The other one is red, embroidered with a pair of lifelike mandarin ducks. The Cantonese embroidery is particularly three-dimensional, and the round fan is decorated with many gold tassels.
It's breathtakingly beautiful.
After the dress was decided, Mrs. Lu asked Zhou Qingti to try on a cheongsam.
"Wear more nice clothes while you are young."
Since she was already there, Zhou Qingti didn't act pretentiously and chose a cheongsam with bamboo leaf embroidery and a light green color with a large round collar.
Full of ancient charm, elegance and beauty, the cheongsam perfectly showcases Zhou Qingti's figure.
The height of the slit of the skirt is just right, and when she walks, her long, white legs are faintly visible.
There was a flash of surprise in Lu Yanzhi's eyes. She was very suitable for cheongsam. He had always thought that his mother looked best in cheongsam.
I also helped her choose a beige cheongsam with a curved collar and silver thread.
The one he chose was very suitable for Zhou Qingti. Standing there, she was as cool and pure as an orchid.
In the end, the old lady didn't have to pay, and Lu Yanzhi used his card to pay the deposit.
It was already dark when they came out of the cheongsam shop. Lu Yanzhi originally wanted to ask the old lady to go to the suite for dinner together.
But the old lady was unwilling: "You guys go back and eat, I'm busy."
The old lady couldn't eat much at night, and now she had to worry about her grandson's wedding, so she didn't even have time to prepare.
Lu Yanzhi did not force her. Seeing that the old lady's spirits had improved recently, she felt that having something to do was a hope.
"I'm going to meet the wedding dress designer tomorrow to get my measurements and choose the style." Lu Yanzhi held the steering wheel with his hands and wore the watch Zhou Qingti gave him on his wrist.
"Okay, my mother and I will go." Zhou Qingti wanted to leave a surprise on the wedding dress and didn't want him to see her in it too early.
Lu Yanzhi didn't know what Zhou Qingti was thinking yet, so he frowned and said, "I can go with you after I finish my company work tomorrow."
"Oh, I'm leaving it as a surprise. I want you to see the most beautiful me on the wedding day." Zhou Qingti said coquettishly.
