After entering the restaurant, men must put women first and pull out chairs for women to show their gentlemanliness.
In line with the idea of when in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Xu Xiuwen naturally acted like a gentleman for once.
Bai Yue'er also smiled because of his service.
After Xu Xiuwen and Bai Yueer sat down.
The waiter handed over the menu.
The dining procedure of French cuisine is aperitif first, followed by appetizers, mid-course dishes, main courses and desserts.
This French restaurant offers a lot of choices in every item.
Aperitif.
Xu Xiuwen helped himself and Bai Yue'er choose champagne.
The aperitif in French cuisine, also called the appetizer, is used before the formal meal to stimulate the appetite and increase people's appetite.
Light-bodied, high-acid wines are more suitable as aperitifs.
Champagne, cocktails, sparkling wine or fruity dry rosé are generally chosen.
Champagne is a light-bodied wine that won't overwhelm your taste buds, making it a common aperitif.

After ordering the food.
The sommelier came forward with the red wine and asked, "Would you like to try it?"
Xu Xiuwen waved his hand and said, "No need."
After the sommelier confirmed what he had said, he began to pour the wine.
After the sommelier leaves temporarily.
Bai Yueer looked into Xu Xiuwen's eyes and asked, "Why are you bringing me here for dinner?"
Xu Xiuwen did not answer immediately, but looked into Bai Yue'er's eyes and asked, "Don't you like it?"
Bai Yue'er looked at the smile in Xu Xiuwen's eyes and her heart skipped a beat.
She looked away, "I don't dislike it either."
Xu Xiuwen raised his glass and said, "You've been working hard during this period, so I brought you here to relax. Don't think too much."
Bai Yue'er nodded, then raised her glass and took a sip of the champagne in it.
The food was soon served.
First the lye bread, then the black truffle cheese ball.
Next is the appetizer.
Bai Yueer ordered egg caviar, which is one of the signature dishes of this restaurant.
There is butter scrambled eggs in the eggshell, vodka milk foam on top, and caviar on top.
Xu Xiuwen ordered foie gras, topped with candied pistachios and sour cherries, and toasted toast underneath. The surrounding jelly was made with port wine, which looked delicious.
Bai Yue'er gently scooped a spoonful and tasted it.
After tasting it, Bai Yue'er had a blank expression on her face.
Xu Xiuwen also tried the foie gras sauce, which had a sweet and sour aroma and tasted pretty good.
After Xu Xiuwen finished tasting it, he looked up and saw Bai Yueer's expression.
He asked, "Does it taste bad?"
Bai Yue'er was about to say, "Not bad."
Then I heard Xu Xiuwen say: "Then you try mine, I also want to try some caviar."
Xu Xiuwen said as he handed over the plate.
Bai Yue'er was stunned for a moment.
He woke up quickly.
Seeing that Xu Xiuwen had already handed the plate to her, she couldn't refuse and had to accept it.
Xu Xiuwen brought the egg caviar in front of him. Without noticing that Bai Yue'er had just taken a bite, he scooped a spoonful with a spoon and brought it to his mouth.
After taking a bite, he finally understood why Bai Yue'er had such a blank expression on her face just now.
Because this is considered a signature appetizer, it is indeed very ordinary.
After tasting it, I couldn't express any other expression except disappointment.
Bai Yue'er saw that Xu Xiuwen didn't care at all that he had just eaten.
Her heart was beating a little faster.
She lowered her head, hesitated for a few seconds, picked up the knife and fork, cut a small piece from the foie gras, and brought it to her mouth.
The foie gras had a nice flavor.
Bai Yueer took a bite and finally smiled.
"It tastes good, right?" Xu Xiuwen asked after noticing her smile.
"Yeah." Bai Yue'er nodded.
There was a pause.
“Xu Xiuwen…”
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
"nothing… "
Bai Yue'er didn't say it.
Next is the mid-game.
Icelandic Halibut and Crispy Crab Cakes.
Both the appearance and taste are pretty good.
Before the main course, Xu Xiuwen ordered another glass of port wine.
After the main course came.
Xu Xiuwen ordered the pan-fried Wagyu beef tenderloin.
He cut off a piece, tasted it, and nodded.
This dish was the best he had tasted so far.
Xu Xiuwen carefully cut the Wagyu beef tenderloin into small pieces of appropriate size.
Then he said to Bai Yue'er: "Yue'er, try this, it tastes delicious."
Xu Xiuwen handed over the plate.
Bai Yueer chose roasted free-range chicken with asparagus, mushrooms and Parmesan cheese sauce as her main dish.
The taste and texture are not bad, but there is no surprise either.
Because it’s not the first time we’ve exchanged dishes.
Bai Yue'er didn't refuse either.
However, after seeing Xu Xiuwen carefully cut the beef tenderloin.
Her heart still trembled.
She looked up at Xu Xiuwen.
Xu Xiuwen had a gentle smile on his face and his eyes were extremely gentle.
For a moment, Bai Yue'er even found it difficult to connect the man in front of her with Xu Xiuwen, who was filming in the "Boys Over Flowers" crew.
