Chapter 147 The first night
This exquisite suite costs up to thousands of euros per night, and only taxes are 100 euros. The decoration style is not the kind, but the color is elegant. There are several wooden frame oil paintings hanging on the plain walls and a few small sculptures placed in the corners. The furniture is all fabric, which looks warm and comfortable.
Two bedrooms stand side by side, one is a queen-bed room and the other is a twin room. Of course, Wang Ye lives in a queen-bed room, and two girls live in a twin room.
Looking at the two close bedrooms, the doors were next to each other. Xue Yiyi felt a little strange. After all, Wang Ye was a strange man. Although he was Tang Doudou's old classmate, he has always been polite and graceful since he came into contact today. It is obvious that people know each other but not, what if he has any bad intentions at night...
When I walked into the bedroom, I checked the door specifically and found that it could be locked from the inside, and I felt much more relieved.
The three of them put down their luggage and washed up briefly. It was past nine o'clock in the evening of Paris time.
I ate dinner in the hotel, so don’t go out to wander around at night. The public security abroad is actually quite poor, especially in Paris.
My stomach, which has been tortured by a plane meal for a day, can now enjoy a French meal.
French cuisine is known as the first Western cuisine and is indeed well-known. The characteristics of French cuisine are: a wide range of ingredients (such as snails and foie gras are all delicious in French dishes), fine processing, exquisite cooking, strong and light taste, and many varieties of flowers and colors.
Although the baked snail is famous, the king of kings is a bit unacceptable. I asked the two girls, and they shook their heads repeatedly.
But you have to taste the foie gras. How can you say that you are a French meal if you don’t eat foie gras?
When it comes to French meals, I won’t comment on how they taste, but when it comes to the fineness and cumbersome dining process, it is definitely second to none.
The three of them sat next to the dining table covered with snow-white tablecloth. The tablecloth was ironed without any wrinkles. There was a delicate small vase on one end of the table with flowers inside.
There are exquisite porcelain tableware on the cloth napkin in front of each person, and three sets of silver-made knife and fork for each person. The crystal wine glasses are divided into three sizes, large, medium and small, and arranged in a row. Depending on the type of dishes you eat, the waiter will pour you different wines at any time. Aperitifs, dry red and white, and will be matched with different wines when eating different meats.
Tang Doudou looked at the dazzling tableware and wine glass in front of her, showing a little timidity, and secretly asked Wang Ye: "Can you use so many tableware? Will people be laughed at if you use it randomly?"
Wang Ye smiled and comforted her: "It's okay, does foreigners use chopsticks to eat Chinese food differently? Just use a pair of knife and fork. We are here for dinner, not to learn table etiquette. Besides, there are only three of us here, and it's not a formal occasion, just do whatever you want."
After hearing Wang Ye's words, Tang Doudou breathed a sigh of relief, and Xue Yiyi also relaxed. In fact, she didn't understand either, but she just didn't have the nerve to ask.
The three of them tasted the aperitif, ate snacks, and waited for the dishes to be delivered to the table.
Soon, the head plate was delivered.
This is a vegetable and fruit salad, there is nothing to say, it is just healthier, and boiled vegetables in water cannot be said to be delicious.
After eating the first plate, remove the plate and the second dish is served.
The second dish in French cuisine is soup, which is more famous. French onion soup and French fish soup are recognized as delicacies in the global culinary industry.
Wang Ye helped the two girls to ask for clear soup, which is made of beef, chicken, fish or vegetables. During the cooking process, the fat in the raw materials will be removed, and the taste is very light, so it is called clear soup. It has a bit of the meaning of the famous domestic dish "boiled water cabbage". Of course, there is still a gap.
What he wanted was a thick soup, which added flour, butter, egg yolk, cream, fresh milk, meat, vegetables and other ingredients to the soup, and the taste was relatively strong. This was a bit like Wang Ye’s favorite red beet soup, which was more suitable for his taste.
The third course is side dishes, which usually include freshwater fish, seawater fish, shellfish and molluscs. One of the relatively obvious features of side dishes is that the color of the meat is white, so it is also called white meat, while the main dish is usually red meat.
The side dish was ordered French roasted scallops. On the clean and shiny shells, scallop meat baked in butter was placed with salt, black pepper and other seasonings. It tasted unique and was different from the charcoal roasted scallops in domestic seafood stalls.
Finally, there is the main plate, which is the main meal - orange foie gras.
Nowadays, the so-called foie gras in many French restaurants are not real foie gras, but instead they are replaced by duck liver. Because it is difficult to select foie gras that are truly suitable for cooking, and the breeding process is relatively cruel. Many countries have banned breeding, and most restaurants can only use duck liver instead.
However, Wang Ye ordered pure foie gras today. Since he wanted to eat it, of course he could not eat fakes.
Cut into thick slices of foie gras with spices and brandy for eight hours, roast them slowly for about an hour, cool and put them on a plate, drizzle them with orange juice, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, etc. The taste is soft and delicate, and it really does not disappoint its reputation.
The two girls were juicing, but if they knew the source of foie gras and the breeding process, they might not be able to eat it.
Of course, Wang Ye would not show off his knowledge on the dining table in a bad mood. I have to say that sometimes ignorance is also a kind of happiness.
Although I ate several dishes, the amount of each dish was very small, so I didn't feel very full. It took me two hours to eat, no wonder I said that the French were casual and inefficient. It turned out that they were wasting their time on meals.
After dinner, it was eleven o'clock in the evening and the restaurant was about to close, so the three of them got up and returned to the room upstairs.
The hotel room is not too large, so naturally there is no independent bathroom in the bedroom. The three of them share one. Wang Ye politely asked the two girls to wash first. He sat on the sofa and took out his cell phone to check the message on QQ.
I saw Nie Xiaoying’s message saying that she had started school and asked Wang Ye what he was busy with recently.
He replied that she was attending Fashion Week in Paris and would probably be busy for more than half a month before she could return to China.
There was also a message from Meimei that her father's condition had stabilized and there were signs of awakening. The doctor said that he could wake up at any time.
Wang Ye was also happy for her. He was finally about to overcome this difficulty. He left a message asking her if the medical expenses were enough. If they were not enough, they would transfer it to her.
After processing the messages one by one, the two girls also finished washing up and came out of the bathroom. Because there was a man Wang Ye in the room, they were all wrapped in bathrobes when they came out and didn't dare to be too casual.
