Xu Xiuwen sat in the car and looked at the courtyard in front of the car.
Li Heng introduced it when he saw it: "This restaurant is a time-honored brand, but most people don't know about it. Even if they know about it and want to eat here, this restaurant won't accept them unless they are brought here by regular customers."
As he was speaking, the guard saw the car, confirmed the pass on it, and opened the gate.
Li Heng drove the car slowly into the compound.
After entering the gate of the compound, the inside suddenly became bright.
There were already several cars parked in the yard.
As soon as Li Heng parked the car, a middle-aged man came up to him from the side.
The middle-aged man was wearing a red robe and looked wealthy.
Wait until Li Heng gets off the bus.
The man responded with a fat smile: "Mr. Li, what are your plans for today?"
Li Heng glanced at him with a slightly cold expression.
"Arrange a larger courtyard for me, bring out all your signature dishes, and prepare a few jugs of your special rice wine. I want to have a drink with my friends."
"Okay, Mr. Li, please wait a moment."
After saying that, the man led Li Heng and Xu Xiuwen through several porches and into a large courtyard.
There is a small river and a pavilion in the yard, which is very suitable for tasting tea and wine.
The man did not stop and continued to move forward.
There is a big house right in front.
After entering the house.
Inside is the dining area.
But all the decorations are full of ancient charm.
Judging from the color and fragrance, Xu Xiuwen guessed that the dining table and chairs might be made of huanghuali wood.
Everything in this room reflects the heritage of this hotel.
Xu Xiuwen asked casually: "Li Heng, how is the food here?"
Li Heng said confidently: "The chefs here are all Empress Dowager Cixi's imperial chefs. You can't eat better dishes anywhere else."
Hearing him say this, Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but look forward to it.
While waiting.
Li Heng asked again about how he and Li Haimei met.
It was impossible for Xu Xiuwen to tell him all the facts.
He processed the story a bit.
I heard that Li Haimei was almost drugged.
Li Heng's face turned pale and his fists were clenched tightly, as if he was going to hit someone.
After hearing that Xu Xiuwen saved Li Haimei, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xu Xiuwen with eyes full of gratitude.
Xu Xiuwen asked, "You and your aunt have a good relationship, right?"
Li Heng said: "Well, I am 10 years younger than my aunt. Before I was 8 years old, she almost raised me. But since she left home, I have never seen her again."
"Xu Xiuwen, tell me more about my aunt."
"Okay. Li Haimei..."
During the chat.
Unconsciously, it brought the two closer together.
Li Heng suddenly said: "Xu Xiuwen, although you are my aunt's boyfriend, you are 7 years younger than me. I will not call you uncle."
Xu Xiuwen smiled bitterly and said, "I understand."
"How about this, if you really marry my aunt in the future, I will call you uncle. Before that, let's just get along as friends."
Xu Xiuwen's eyes lit up, "Okay."
"I am a few years older than you. From now on, you should call me Brother Heng. If anyone is blind in this place of Kyoto, just say my name."
"Okay, Brother Heng, you can call me Xiuwen from now on."
"Okay, Xiuwen."
The two had just decided on how to address each other from now on.
The restaurant started serving the food.
In a blink of an eye, the table was filled.
Looking at the exquisite dishes in front of me.
Xu Xiuwen was dazzled.
He finally understood the pain that Cixi felt when eating.
Because his choice difficulty also occurred
There are so many dishes that even if you only eat one bite each, it's enough to fill you up.
After the dishes are served.
A waitress came in with a wooden tray.
There were five white jade wine jugs on the plate.
After the waitress put down all the white jade wine jugs, she turned to Li Heng and said, "Dear guest, this is our store's special rice wine, it has a strong aftertaste, please drink according to your ability."
Li Heng nodded.
Then, the waitress opened the white jade wine jug and prepared to pour wine for the two.
Li Heng waved his hand and said, "Okay, we don't need you to serve here, you can go down."
The waitresses obeyed and left the room.
Li Heng picked up a white jade wine pot, opened the lid, and poured himself a bowl of wine.
Xu Xiuwen followed suit and poured himself a bowl as well.
The rice wine in this store seems to be a special rice wine.
As soon as the lid is opened.
The aroma of rice wine hits your nose.
The color of rice wine is white but not turbid, clear but not light.
You can tell at first glance that this is high-quality rice wine.
After Li Heng poured rice wine into the bowl, he held the bowl and said, "Xiu Wen, this first bowl of wine is for you. Thank you for saving my aunt."
After he said that, he drank the rice wine in the bowl in one gulp.
Seeing that he was straightforward, Xu Xiuwen naturally felt it was difficult to be polite and could only drink up the rice wine in the bowl in one gulp.
As soon as he took a sip of the wine, Xu Xiuwen's eyes suddenly lit up.
This rice wine is sweet but not greasy, sour but not astringent, and has a sweet and mellow taste that is very impressive.
Xu Xiuwen put down the wine bowl and praised: "Good wine, good wine."
Li Heng smiled and said, "Xiu Wen, try the dishes here and see if they suit your taste."
Xu Xiuwen picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece.
"Hmm... Not bad, not bad, it tastes really good."
Chapter 517 A Trouble (One More Chapter)
Then the two of them ate, drank and chatted.
Xu Xiuwen found that Li Heng was quite to his liking.
Although he is the child of a high-ranking official, he is very approachable.
There are many topics that the two of them can chat about.
The most talked about topic is women.
Maybe he was drunk.
Li Heng even asked him why he was with his aunt Li Haimei.
After all, there is a dozen years difference between the two.
Xu Xiuwen didn't explain in detail, but just smiled and said, "You don't understand the charm of a mature woman."
Li Heng shook his head: "I don't understand. I just like young girls. Their skin is so smooth, how can a mature woman compare to that..."
Xu Xiuwen shook his head. "If your aunt heard what you said, you would be in trouble."
