Chapter 315: 236. Tea Aroma Overflowing_3
At that time, I felt it was such an upscale place. Without an adult leading the way, I would never dare to come here on my own.
Years flew by, and the French restaurant had long been dethroned from the altar of my memory, becoming one of the usual places I frequented.
Time sped past, yet the gourmet food remained.
The world around us changed at breakneck speed, with an unending stream of new things. Fast food culture took over every aspect of people’s lives.
But when Lu Jincheng stepped into this corridor once again, it seemed as if time had never changed.
The commitment to ingredients and craftsmanship was just as strong as it had been years before.
Plump and tender snail meat, shelled by hand, infused with herbs from the south of France, added to a special white Tournedos sauce and baked in President butter to flavor, the rich French romance exploded on the taste buds in an instant.
One bite and you found the meat fresh and delightfully chewy with salty cheese hidden inside the snails, paired with a side of smooth, homemade mashed potatoes. The two delicious elements together would make you want to spin around as they melted in your mouth.
Grade 3A foie gras, lightly seared, turning the outside crisp and unlocking a rich aroma. Smooth and moist on the inside, the foie gras melted gently upon the tongue.
When eaten with just-right caviar, the richness of the foie gras and the fresh taste of the caviar created a multitude of textures. The chef also recommended pairing it with garlic bread for a different flavor experience.
"Done for, I ate too much today."
"Feel this, feel this; have I gotten fatter lately?"
Topics between sisters were always unbounded.
Zhou Sinin, who was indulging halfway through her meal, suddenly seemed to remember something and insisted that Guan Yongyi, sitting beside her, reach over and check.
"Winter is terrible... If only I were like you, never gaining weight."
"Let your boyfriend feel it."
The short-haired girl looked unamused, rolling her eyes hard as she withdrew her hand from the table to grab the wine glass in front of her.
She took a small sip, feeling unsatisfied, and with a gulp, took another big swig.
"Good evening, here’s your mille-feuille. Please enjoy."
Ending the meal with a dessert was an unavoidable courtesy of French dining.
Goya’s desserts always had a good reputation.
The mille-feuille, in particular, was a star product, each piece comprising 48 layers, including 25 thin-as-cicada-wings crepe skins, and 23 layers of creamy flavored whipped cream.
As the dessert arrived, the waiter also brought over the final dish, a fragrant rose dew.
Pure natural rosehip dew with fresh lemon helped relax and delight the senses after a hearty meal of meat. With just one sip, relaxation ensued.
Alongside it, wisps of smoke curled up like an enchanting fairy making a grand entrance, capturing the girls’ hearts in a single glance.
"He’s no fun; he always says the same two things! When asked, he only ever says, ’Not fat, not fat,’ lacking a real impact."
Zhou Sinin pouted, cut a small piece of mille-feuille, and arranged it in front of her. The spoon plunged in.
Just one spoonful was all it took for the refreshing sensation to open up among the various layers of sweetness.
Some flavors don’t need words; they can be conveyed through facial expressions.
She blissfully squinted her eyes.
"Isn’t that right, didn’t you ask me? You talk about being fat on one hand and eat dessert on the other, I think someone here doesn’t really want to hear the truth."
Mr. Lu expressed his dissent at this moment.
"You didn’t even feel it! Even if I asked you, you wouldn’t know."
"How much do you weigh now?"
A woman’s weight, regardless of the season, is always a secret.
"Er... that..."
Zhou Sinin paused, thought for a few seconds, then with a twinkle in her eye, she found a more tactful way to say it.
"I was really thin in the summer! Now I think it’s about ninety-eight or ninety-nine pounds... It’s winter; it can’t be helped."
But in front of boyfriends and best friends, secrets can sometimes be revealed.
"What about you, Guan Guan?"
Lu Jincheng smiled and turned his head, casting the question toward the quietly sitting Guan Yongyi. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Honestly, with Zhou Sinin’s golden height of 167-168 cm, not even reaching a hundred pounds, the word ’fat’ hardly had anything to do with her.
He could only cleverly use comparison.
"Ninety."
Guan Yongyi was concise.
"You see, speak with data, what counts as a good figure? You’re ten pounds heavier than her!"
The man drew out his voice, looking at Zhou Sinin meaningfully.
"Ah! Nonsense! I’m definitely not in the triple digits!"
As the saying goes, a fine woman never tips the scale at a hundred.
Of course, this only applied to girls below a certain height.
Most girls are quite sensitive to the boundary of three digits, and Zhou Sinin was no exception.
"After the mille-feuille, you’ll have reached it, don’t believe me? Shall we weigh ourselves on the scale at the entrance?"
"Get lost! You expect me to step on the scale with all these clothes on?"
Zhou Sinin pursed her lips with indignation, tossing her spoon aside.
He called me fat, I’m not eating anymore.
After thinking it over, it wasn’t enough for her to stop eating alone; she pushed the mille-feuille toward Guan Yongyi, cleared her throat, and gently said.
"Guan Guan, have some, it’s really good."
"..."
Guan Yongyi struggled to hold back her laughter and gave her a look.
The intentions of Sima Zhao were no secret – she might as well have vocalized her little scheme!
"Wow, wow, if you don’t want to get fat, just pass it on to your girlfriend. The scent of tea is rich, indeed..."
The man, still smiling, couldn’t help but fan the flames.
"Lu Jincheng!"
Zhou Sinin’s eyebrows knitted with complaints, her reproachful gaze solidly pinning down the man.
Who was he talking to!
"Alright, alright, it’s no big deal."
Guan Yongyi smiled and took up the spoon, scooping delicately before placing it in her mouth.
"Let me gain a bit, it’s okay."
So sweet.
And thus, she too squinted her eyes in delight.
