Chapter 327: Eating and Watching a Movie
When they came out of the Ancient Capital Museum, it was dinner time. Yu Zhan had already booked a restaurant. He had never been to the ancient capital before and had no friends there. He didn't know which restaurant was good here. He could only search on Dianping.com and found a French restaurant with a high ranking and high taste near the cinema.
Yu Zhan knew that Liu Lan didn't like Western food, so he wanted to book a table at a Chinese restaurant or a Japanese restaurant. However, today was Chinese Valentine's Day, and the better Chinese and Japanese restaurants had already been booked. For this, he apologized to Liu Lan, "I'm not well prepared. If you don't want to eat Western food, we can look for something else nearby."
Liu Lan didn't care at all. "It doesn't matter. I haven't eaten Western food yet. I'll just try it."
When they arrived at the restaurant, Liu Lan finally understood why there were still vacancies in this restaurant before the holiday, because it looked very expensive... This is a very professional French restaurant, the chefs are all French, and the customers are mainly foreigners. The overall environment of the restaurant is elegant and romantic. There is also a piano in the middle of the restaurant, and a beautiful woman in a dress is playing the piano to accompany the music.
Later, Liu Lan checked on Dianping.com herself and found that this restaurant was called the most luxurious restaurant in the ancient capital, without a doubt.
However, even in an expensive place, there are also rich people willing to spend money. Yu Zhan acted too late and failed to book a private room. Fortunately, the restaurant takes the privacy of the guests into consideration and the distance between each table is far enough.
French cuisine is known for its exquisite preparation and complicated preparation steps. Liu Lan, who was having Western food for the first time, was dumbfounded when she saw the plates, spoons, knives and forks of different sizes, and cups of different heights in front of her. She didn't know where to start.
Yu Zhan smiled and said, "Just now in the museum, you taught me how to use those ancient utensils. Now it's my turn to teach you how to use Western tableware."
Liu Lan immediately adopted an attitude of humble learning.
...
...
"Let's start with the plates closest to us. The largest plate is called the dinner plate, which is used for dinner. The larger fork on the left is the dinner fork, the smaller fork next to it is the salad fork, and the small knife in front of them is the butter knife..."
Yu Zhan explained very carefully. Every time he mentioned a kind of tableware, he read out its corresponding English name and asked Liu Lan to repeat it after him. He said that she was busy with Chinese calligraphy during the summer vacation and neglected to learn English. She had lost her English and she had to catch up quickly!
The waiter who was serving on the side couldn't help but look over there, and listened attentively to the two people's "teaching". He found it very interesting. Among the customers who came to their restaurant, many were trying Western food for the first time. Some of them were straightforward and didn't care about table manners, using knives and forks interchangeably; some were shy and awkward, and they were very uncomfortable during the meal. It made him tired just watching.
This girl is a bit contradictory. She also knows nothing about Western food, and doesn't even know some common English words. But when she was learning the use of tableware from her boyfriend, her manners were very elegant. She was obviously a very polite person. When talking about Western food, she was as frank and cute as a child.
For example, the waiter heard Liu Man muttering, "I haven't even taken a few bites of the food, but the table is almost full of cutlery."
The waiter couldn't help laughing, no wonder the girl's boyfriend looked at her with such doting expression.
Eating a dinner is like taking a class. Liu Man learned Western table manners, common English used in dining, and types of French cuisine...
But Liu Lan was very happy. She and Yu Zhan always had endless topics to talk about. Even though they grew up in very different environments and were good at completely different things, they were willing to communicate and share. There were no secrets between them anymore.
After dinner, it was exactly 7:40. The screening time of "Listen, the Sound of the Wind" was uniformly scheduled for 8 o'clock in the evening across the country. Yu Zhan and Liu Lan walked for ten minutes to the cinema. Maybe it was the premiere of the movie and Valentine's Day, the cinema was crowded with people. There were long queues in front of the ticket counter and ticket exchange machine. Most of these people were couples, and there were also groups of same-sex friends.
Seeing so many people, Liu Lan said, "It's our turn to get tickets, but the movie may have already started. We have to hurry, hurry up," and she was anxious to get in line.
Yu Zhan held her wrist and said with a smile, "Let's go in directly, no need for tickets."
???
Liu Lan had a face full of question marks.
Although she had never been to a movie, her predecessor had been there. In her memory, the process of watching a movie was usually to choose a movie and buy tickets online, and then exchange the electronic tickets for paper tickets on the spot, just like what other young people were doing at this time.
Besides, before the date, Yu Zhan told her that he had booked the tickets online in advance, so how could they go in directly?
Yu Zhan said, "Now we can check the electronic tickets. I can just show my phone to the ticket inspector."
