Chapter 3031 Eat a Feast
After the agreement signing ceremony, Deman once again invited Luo Ziling and several officials from foreign affairs agencies to have a drink together.
Luo Ziling didn't refuse, and the people from the foreign affairs agency were also polite and readily agreed.
The two sides stayed in the winery for an afternoon and talked about many things.
There are gossips and business matters, and the two sides talk about cooperation most.
Jin Yongming speaks French very fluently, and he naturally acted as a translator.
Sitting in the winery until evening, Luo Ziling only proposed to leave when it was time to eat dinner.
Deman did not invite Luo Ziling to dinner. The thinking of Westerners is completely different from that of Easterners.
They are willing to invite you to drink, but seldom invite you to drink tea or eat - this is Luo Ziling's feeling.
As for whether other people feel this way, he doesn't know.
When walking out of the winery with Jin Yongming, the other party very warmly invited Luo Ziling to sit with them.
"If I'm free, I'll definitely visit everyone!" Luo Ziling didn't refuse.
He also talked about his unpleasant meeting with Renault executives yesterday, but he didn't take it too seriously, he just said with a smile: "I believe they will regret putting on airs against me."
Jin Yongming euphemistically expressed his regret for not attending the meeting yesterday, saying that if he was accompanied by staff from foreign affairs agencies, the other party would not be so rude.
"It's okay, I don't have the same knowledge as them." Luo Ziling still didn't take it seriously.
Chen Xiaoyi went home early, she was afraid that running outside with the child every day would frighten the child.
So after signing the agreement and taking a few photos for Luo Ziling, she left first.
Luo Ziling originally wanted to go back for dinner, but Lin Lan didn't want to. She asked Luo Ziling to accompany her to eat famous French dishes.
In the end, Luo Ziling did not refuse Lin Lan's request.
After parting with Jin Yongming and other foreign affairs agency staff, he took Lin Lan to a Michelin three-star restaurant in Pakistan.
There are many Michelin three-star restaurants in Paris, which can be said to be world-famous. The rich and famous spend a lot of money there, but they must abide by the rules set by the restaurants.
The Michelin three-star restaurant is located on Avenue Montaigne. The owner of this restaurant is honored as the world's best chef, and the former French president Saxon is known as the person that France cannot lose.
This restaurant was designed by the famous designer Patrick Jouin. When you walk in, you will see three seats that look like silver space capsules, with a gorgeous and atmospheric crystal pendant on the roof, and a shell-like dining area beside it. The overall atmosphere is very luxurious.
The price of the dinner package is 490 euros, including pre-dinner wine and service charge. Of course, if you think the service is good, you can also pay an extra tip.
After Lin Lan brought Luo Ziling here, she smiled and said to him, "This is a very famous restaurant in France."
Before going abroad, Luo Ziling had never eaten French food, and had absolutely no understanding of French dishes.
Lin Lan said that this restaurant is good, so he also thinks this restaurant is not bad.
Lin Lan brought him here, and he didn't object.
But after seeing the prices on the menu and confirming with Lin Lan, he was still taken aback.
Nearly 500 euros per person, or nearly 5,000 RMB, is a total consumption of pigs.
However, what Luo Ziling lacked most was money, so he only complained and had no other dissatisfaction.
Luo Ziling didn't understand the dishes here, and he couldn't understand the menu anyway, so he asked Lin Lan to order.
Lin Lan ordered the signature dishes here, including muffins, Antarctic deep-sea langoustine, Caviar House&Prunier caviar, signature desserts, foie gras dumplings, mousse milk foam, truffles, snails, foie gras, and cassoulet.
Anyway, apart from the names of caviar, snail, and foie gras, Luo Ziling knew nothing about it.
Of course, Luo Ziling is full of curiosity about unknown things.
He knows the level of Michelin restaurants, and he knows more about the high-end existence of Michelin three stars.
He didn't take it seriously for two meals and a bottle of red wine, which cost two thousand euros.
But when what they asked for came up, Luo Ziling couldn't help being disappointed.
Those dishes looked beautiful, but the portions were very small, and they didn't suit Luo Ziling's taste at all.
In Luo Ziling's opinion, the barbecue in those barbecue restaurants at the entrance of Yan's gate is more delicious than these so-called big meals.
Anyway, he likes heavy dishes and is not very accepting of foreign cuisines.
"I might be a country bumpkin," Luo Ziling whispered to Lin Lan while eating, "Why can't I feel delicious at all?"
"When you go to this kind of place, what you eat is a kind of atmosphere, a kind of identity, don't you know?" Lin Lan gave Luo Ziling a blank look, "Anyway, you have a lot of money, so when I come by myself, I dare not eat in this kind of place. With you paying the bill, I dare to eat anywhere."
"Treat me for being taken advantage of?" Luo Ziling put a piece of pancake into his mouth with a depressed expression, and said while eating, "I still feel that the dishes I cooked myself last night are better than this one." It’s much more delicious. From now on, I’m determined not to live abroad, and I can’t get used to the food here. I can only live in China, and only Chinese food can save me!”
"You can buy vegetables and cook them yourself when you go abroad!" Lin Lan looked at Luo Ziling with an idiot face, "Didn't you cook them yourself yesterday? European pots can also cook the taste of Chinese dishes. I think you can I often run outside. The traditional medicine you practice is not recognized in Europe, and Chinese medicine is also restricted here. Maybe you can break this taboo through your own efforts."
"It's true!" Luo Ziling was a little touched after hearing this.
He knew what Lin Lan said was true, and Chinese medicine was rejected in Europe.
Didn't Deman, who I just met for a few days, call Chinese medicine as a witch doctor at the beginning?
If he puts in some effort, maybe more westerners can accept Chinese traditional medicine.
Lin Lan didn't say much, and buried herself in her food.
Lin Lan had a good taste for these things, but Luo Ziling didn't have much interest in eating them.
Most of the things fell into Lin Lan's stomach.
Lin Lan's daily consumption was no less than Luo Ziling's. In the afternoon, because of proofreading the contract, she spent a lot of energy, so her chest was already hungry.
And Luo Ziling planned to find a Chinese restaurant to ask for some stir-fried dishes after leaving here, so he first satisfied Lin Lan.
But while they were eating, something unexpected happened again.
Deman called Lin Lan and said that he wanted to see Luo Ziling at night, and asked Luo Ziling if it was convenient.
Luo Ziling asked Lin Lan to ask Deman why he wanted to see him.
Deman replied that he was a friend and wanted to see Luo Ziling for a checkup.
Hearing Deman said that it was a very good and well-known friend of his who wanted to see him for treatment. After thinking about it, Luo Ziling agreed.
