It was already evening, and Shen Yu's contact person arranged Luo Shaoheng's room in the hotel where they were staying, and then asked the driver to drive the car to the usual place to eat.
What they went to was a restaurant specializing in Chinese cuisine. The three-story vermilion attic contained authentic special Chinese dishes.
At this point, the restaurant is already full of people. In the huge lobby on the first floor, there is no vacant seat at a glance. Two-thirds of the guests are foreigners. It seems that the dishes of this restaurant are very good. Likeable.
Although there are no seats in the hall, Shen Yu and the others don't have to worry at all. Someone stepped forward to greet them as soon as they entered.
Luo Shaoheng looked at the decoration of the restaurant's inner hall and found that it was completely Chinese style, from the screens, booths, wooden tables, calligraphy and paintings, and other decorations, all of which were full of charm. Make up, welcome them into the box with polite words and deeds.
The box is named after "Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter". Their box is the "Winter Box" at the end. A plum blossom is engraved on the vermilion door, and the word "Winter" is proudly written on the plum blossom.
The furnishings in the box are also antique, and even the teacups are blue and white porcelain cups of very good quality.
But what Luo Shaoheng cared about was not these, but the style here gave him an unspeakable sense of familiarity.
As soon as the few of them were seated, a middle-aged man wearing a Chinese-style cotton shirt came over. He knew from the waiter's address that he was the person in charge of the restaurant. As soon as he came, he took the teacup from the waiter's hand and poured it for Shen Mucheng. Serve tea.
The other party was so enthusiastic, Luo Shaoheng originally thought it was because of Shen Mucheng's noble status, or that they had business contacts, but after listening to their conversation, he realized that this restaurant with ancient decoration was under the name of Shen Mucheng industry.
His gaze swept across Shen Mucheng who was drinking tea with his head bowed, and landed on the hanging painting behind him, and he was concerned.
When ordering food, the person in charge personally ordered for them. Shen Mucheng asked someone to bring the menu to Luo Shaoheng, and Luo Shaoheng took it over and opened it without hesitation. He came to order. Although he didn't know how to cook before, he knew Shen Mucheng's taste clearly.
Of course, the people present didn’t know about this kind of thing. After he ordered four of Shen Mucheng’s favorite dishes in a row, Shen Mucheng’s hand holding the tea paused, and the corner of his eye fell on his hand flipping the menu. Then drink tea calmly.
Shen Yun is good at observing words and expressions, so he took the initiative to ask: "These dishes are the signature dishes of the restaurant, and Mr. Luo also likes to eat these dishes?"
"Yeah, I eat it often." Luo Shaoheng pretended not to understand him, smiled innocently, ordered another cold dish, and then told him to put less ginger and garlic.
The person in charge responded one by one, Shen Yun saw this and said: "Mr. Luo seems to be quite good at eating."
"It's okay, but I'm a little picky about what I like to eat." Luo Shaoheng said.
In fact, he is good at what he does. In the past, Shen Mucheng prepared the food, and he was only responsible for eating, so he didn't have to worry about it at all; Do something to keep my heart from being so empty, so I gradually learned all the dishes that Shen Mucheng likes to eat.
Originally thought that there would be no chance to make it for him again, but unexpectedly... Thinking of this, he glanced at Shen Mucheng, and happily handed the menu to Shen Yun: "I've ordered, you order."
Shen Yun took the menu, secretly praised "come prepared", and then added a few more dishes before handing the menu to the person in charge.
The other party took the menu and stood aside, and asked in a low voice: "The dessert that was adjusted before is already on the menu, do you want to have a taste?"
Shen Yun looked down at Shenmu City, and seeing that he had no objection, he asked Luo Shaoheng: "Does Mr. Luo like desserts? There is a new one in the store, you can try it."
"What dessert?" Luo Shaoheng asked with interest.
The person in charge took the dessert list on the side, turned to one of the pages and handed it to Luo Shaoheng, introducing: "Jiao Niang Coconut Milk Cake."
- Braised Coconut Milk Cake.
Luo Shaoheng was in a trance for a moment when he saw the dessert picture above, but he soon came back to his senses, handed the list back to the other party, and said with a smile: "It looks good, so let's have one, thank you."
The person who can sit at the same table with Shen Mucheng is definitely not an ordinary person. The person in charge was a little surprised by his polite attitude. He took the menu and said something, and then led the waiter down. They don't like having outsiders around to serve them.
After the others went down, Shen Yun, who was in charge of activating the atmosphere, took the initiative to ask about Luo Shaoheng after getting a hint from his elder brother.
Judging from Luo Shao's constant stay at the hotel and the camera he carried with him, Shen Yun guessed that he was here for a trip, and it was indeed the case when he asked, so he asked, "Where is Mr. Luo from?"
"I'm from city A, and now I live in the Yunshan tourist area of city A." Luo Shaoheng didn't hide anything.
"The scenery over Yunshan Mountain is not bad. Do you work there?" Shen Yun asked again.
"Well, I opened a resort over there." When Luo Shaoheng said this, he secretly observed Shen Mucheng's reaction, and found that he was still leaning on the back of the chair calmly, with a look of indifference to their conversation. The look of interest.
—It seems that he really doesn't remember the previous agreement.
Luo Shaoheng felt a little gloomy about this, but soon cheered up again, and said to Shen Yun: "The scenery of Yunshan Mountain is really good, you can come to play whenever you have a chance, and I will arrange the route for you, just now you can soak in natural hot springs in winter .”
"Okay, I have a chance to go." Shen Yun replied verbally, but everyone knew that Shen Mucheng had the final say on whether to go or not.
Next, Luo Shaoheng asked some things about Shen Mucheng and the others. Without any company secrets involved and Shen Mucheng agreed, Shen Yun more or less revealed some information to him, so that Luo Shaoheng knew that Shen Mucheng City is from City B. City B and City A are not far apart, but they are not close. No wonder the two haven't met each other in these years.
Most of the time, Luo Shaoheng and Shen Yun were chatting, Shen Yu occasionally interjected a sentence or two, and Shen Mucheng drank tea on his own throughout the whole process, and only replied a word or two when Luo Shaoheng asked him about it.
The conversation was quite pleasant, and everyone stopped to eat tacitly until the waiter brought the dishes up.
The last dish served was dessert. When the small lid was opened, a small square piece of translucent white pastry was placed in the middle of the plate with golden patterns on the edge. There was a delicate flower dotted on the upper left corner of the pastry. The light hits the bright white porcelain dish, reflecting a faint halo, making this crystal-colored pastry very delicate and attractive.
Luo Shaoheng picked up the small spoon that came with it, gently cut off a small piece, and put it in his mouth.
The soft and glutinous pastry has a faint aroma of wine, mixed with the fragrance of coconut milk, forming an inseparable taste. The taste is a bit Q, but also smooth, which is very attractive to the taste buds.
It's just that it tastes sweet, but in Luo Shaoheng's heart, he tastes bitter.
- Braised Coconut Milk Cake.
No one here knows that it should actually be called fermented coconut milk jelly. This is what Luo Shaoheng figured out by himself. The wine is mixed with coconut milk, which adds a bit of wine aroma and reduces its own sweetness.
Although Luo Shaoheng didn't have much talent in cooking, he learned quickly in making desserts. After contracting the cooking task for two people in Shenmu City, he took the initiative to learn dessert making and cake baking from his own chef. .
Because Shen Mucheng doesn't like to eat too sweet, he researched various light and delicious desserts, trying to make them delicious but not greasy. Although panna cotta is easy to make, it is more troublesome to mix the wine and control the sweetness of the coconut milk so that the wine does not take away the taste. He spent two days researching with his chef before adjusting the taste to his liking.
After making the first intact and pleasant-tasting fermented coconut milk jelly, he couldn't wait to take it home, threw himself on the back of Shen Mucheng who was working in front of the computer, hooked his neck and asked him, "Guess what?" What did I bring you back?"
Shen Mucheng stopped what he was doing, tilted his head and kissed him, and asked cooperatively, "What dessert is today?"
Luo Shaoheng has been learning desserts for a while, and he brought them back every now and then. From the beginning, he didn't like them, but gradually he felt that the taste was pretty good, especially the ones made by Luo Shaoheng himself.
Luo Shaoheng put the small lunch box behind him on the table and said, "Open it and have a look."
Seeing his excited look, Shen Mucheng stretched out his hand to open the box.
Inside is a small portion of frozen coconut milk jelly, because it was a little hot on the way back, the color does not look so bright, and the bottom of the plate is still a little watery.
"What is this?" Shen Mucheng reached out and took out the dessert from the lunch box.
"Brown-brewed coconut milk jelly, Master Zhang and I have newly researched it." Luo Shaoheng pulled up a stool and sat down beside him, seeing that the color of the dessert was a bit dull, he couldn't help but be disappointed, "It was beautiful when it was just frozen, and it was crystal clear. "
"It's pretty good too." Shen Mucheng patted his head to comfort him, "Only made one?"
"I've done a few of them, and the others are not very successful, you should eat and see." Luo Shaoheng urged him.
"Huh? Just me eating alone?" Shen Mucheng looked at him with slightly raised lips, with a smile in his eyes.
"Yeah." Luo Shaoheng nodded, put his hand on his shoulder and leaned over to kiss his lips, rubbing it a few times and said: "You eat it, I can eat you."
Shen Mucheng chuckled a few times, stretched out his hand and pulled him into his arms, lowered his head and kissed him: "I'm very happy."
…
"Mr. Luo, what's the matter with you?" Shen Yun found that Luo Shaoheng was in a daze after taking a bite, so he couldn't help asking.
"No, I remembered something." Luo Shaoheng raised his head and smiled at him, "This is quite delicious."
"Isn't it? The recipe for this dessert is the idea of the BOSS." Shen Yun said, he also thinks it's delicious, but the sugar is a little less.
"Really?" Luo Shaoheng looked at Shen Mucheng with a hint of surprise.
Shen Mucheng put down the spoon in his hand, glanced at Shen Yun lightly, and gave him a silent warning, then looked at Luo Shaoheng and asked, "Are you used to eating?"
"Get used to it!" Luo Shaoheng said immediately, and showed him a bright smile. When he smiled, his eyes curved into a beautiful arc, like a crescent moon. This smile swept away all the sadness and despair he had shown before, obviously It's a good mood.
Shen Mucheng nodded and didn't say anything more, his attitude was still lukewarm, but Luo Shaoheng didn't care at all, instead he was extremely excited in his heart.
Shen Mucheng actually thought of this dessert? Does that mean that he still has some impressions of the past? He couldn't suppress the joy in his heart when he thought of this.
For the current situation, even if Shen Mucheng only remembers a little bit of things related to the past, it is a gift from heaven to him, and it is worthy of surprise.
Of course, the fact that Shen Mucheng is still alive is the greatest gift.
As for the others, then he can slowly understand things clearly.
