This is a restaurant whose facade is hidden in an art district, and the alley is like a strange chessboard. I explored the high walls and iron gates all the way, and muttered in a daze: "You have to be sexually cold to be high-end, but I can't find the north.". If it hadn't been for a charming crape myrtle protruding from the low wall, new and dewy, and tremblingly greeted Yu Guang, I would never have paid attention to it, including of course those few "Charing Street 84" that were as small as vinegar dishes. No". After going back and forth twice, I breathed a sigh of relief and finally arrived.
Entering the door is an old-fashioned courtyard. The waiter in linen clothes has curly hair like a cloud, which is pulled three inches above the collar of his shirt. His eyebrows are like scabbards in water. His voice is crisp, tough, and soft like a breeze: " Mr. Munster has made arrangements." I nodded my thanks and was almost stunned when I entered the door. The yellow cypress trees were towering green, the bark of the bearberry tree was shining red on the ground, and the two atmosphere groups of monstera and tiger piranha were intertwined wantonly, with an indescribable wild rhyme.
The waiter walked through the mossy slope as thick as a small finger, and cut a branch of crape myrtle a few steps away. Probably because of the beauty of the crape myrtle, the dogwood with big flowers thanked it and bear fruit. I did catch sight of the farthest low wall, with roses nestled on it. The waiter didn't even look at it, but took Ziwei and walked straight to the bluestone road leading to the restaurant.
On the dome at the entrance of the entire restaurant, stretches of windmill jasmine protrude from the windows on the outer wall. Looking out, it is a blur, which has completely covered the way when you came. I seem to hear Naoki Sato's Ryoma Dianli, and Lisa Gerrard's vocal glands. She is the former lead singer of Dead Can Dance. I can't forget the name of the band, which means that you can dance even if you are dead. Those who mistakenly think that the voice is cold and silent will find that it is so lively that it can bring the dead back to life.
"Your place is our Ziwei School at No. 84, Charing Street. We don't open in spring, we grow plants and develop new dishes. In summer, there are "three seasons" menus, and the themes are "Grass Sheep", "Flower Chicken" " and "Rain Mushroom". This is a new dish of our "Rain Mushroom". You can take a look at the menu first." Before the waiter finished speaking, I saw all kinds of rare fungi squeezed into the appetizers and desserts, and my expression began to wander , to my Munster, for I have heard his voice.
"Mr. Meng Site is next door to Zhu Qiangwei Hall. This chef's recommended dish is not on the menu. Mr. Meng hopes you can try it."
"This is? Scrambled eggs..." In such a high-end restaurant, the last scrambled eggs were too dishonest, I muttered.
Fluffy scrambled eggs lay on top of the whale-shaped container with blue patterns in front of me. The smell is like sweet amber and fragrant wood. My body can't resist this quiet and seductive aroma. When wrapped in this fragrance and gently drilled into my nostrils, I was so relaxed that I was about to float.
"It seems to use special seasoning?"
"Yes, scrambled eggs with ambergris, and when the undigested squid beak-like jaws stimulate the intestines of the sperm whale, it produces an unusually aromatic substance called ambergris. It's found in ancient aristocratic perfumes. "
I was about to wow when another waiter brought out a wooden box lined with dried off-white seaweed and a marble-like craggy stone inside. "This is the ambergris brought by Munster, and the whale was dissected by him himself. The current price has reached 2 million euros. In 1693, the Amsterdam office of the Dutch East India Company bought it from Tido in the Moluccas (Moluccas) The piece purchased by King Tidore was even bigger than this one, with an estimated value of 116,400 Dutch guilders, which is equivalent to 1.13 million euros today. But Mr. Meng said that he would never give up and donate all of it to his good friend for the ambergris spice recipe. Edible. He made special emphasis on you, Miss Fairy. This special scrambled egg was eaten by King Charles II of England."
Because this wow is too big, I chewed and swallowed the scrambled eggs with a look of surprise.
Through the patterned light and shadow of the wine glass lamp barrel customized by Saint-Louis crystal lamp, I saw the shape of crape myrtle flowers projected on the wall, stretching out in clusters, like elegant dancing fans. Although the dancing beauties are blank , but the dancing posture can emerge out of thin air. I have to say that the "laziness" of ancient Chinese painters is really refined. And the cluster of charming red crape myrtle picked by the waiter in the yard just now has been inserted in a silver six-petal lotus-shaped "bottle". Ziwei became refined.
"Hello, what's the bottle?"
"Oh, this is an incense box from Holland. It was originally used to store ambergris. The square pillars inside are filled with incense, which can be burned inside. The six closed petals on the outside are used for heat insulation. When combined, they form a ball. It won't be hot in my arms."
"That's amazing... Where is Mr. Munster?"
"Oh, I'm still eating next door."
In fact, I've lost my appetite for waiting. There are famous paintings and sculptures on the two walls of the restaurant, and there is a gate on the wall between the corridors for the two halls to pass through. Such structures are common only in ancient European palaces, such as Versailles. The Chinese-style carved windows and cornices here have no sense of disobedience, but instead add to the sense of a museum. The restaurant is thick and readable, but it does not stick to the rules. It really looks like another face of the Frankish second-hand bookstore in London.
Gently push open the door leading to Menster. I just pushed a narrow door quietly, and the people inside didn't pay attention to me. Only a handsome woman glanced sideways in my direction, and Meng Site listened intently.
Sitting next to him was a handsome young man with an English-style waistcoat. His teeth and wristwatches were shining. He was probably the employer. He looked at Meng Site intently, and pointed to the egg tray on the table that was exactly the same as mine.
"I still want to eat something of this level."
"It's not difficult. There is also a lost dish in Canada called fried fish and bear's paw. Therefore, Mencius' negation is valid abroad."
"Is there such a thing?"
"That's right, with your blood and blood at your age, the front left paws of male salmon and male bear cubs that have not ejaculated must be able to make up. The female salmon that looks like plastic orange beads, salmon roe, is very common. , male salmon sperm, I don’t know if you have tried it, it’s delicious. I’m afraid that few Japanese have eaten this kind of thing they call さけのしらこ (Shage No Shirako), which is actually salmon Shirako. I am Bear expert, the female pilot next door, Ms. Lin Lin, is a salmon expert and can take you there in a helicopter. The female bear is only half the size of the male bear, but if someone touches the cub, it is much stronger than the male bear, and its explosive power is the king of the forest But at my level, don't worry, we can catch the fish when the mother bear catches the fish. The little bear and the fish just happened to be caught in one catch!"
"Cool!" The young man untied a sleeve nail excitedly.
"Meng Site often gives lectures to everyone, and she is very good." I could just see her, Lin Lin, with a square face and a high nose, a man's bones, a slender waist leaning towards his gaze, and a muscular buttocks. The denim skirt was taut, and the slender crossed Erlang curled up. And my Meng Site, his hand, clearly landed on her shoulder, hooked it intimately, and then loosened it. He mentioned her to me, his "comrade in arms".
Lin Lin has a kind of courageous beauty, and when she speaks, she raises her eyebrows at the critical point of logic to show emphasis. Anyway, she has the kind of heroic spirit that I don't have, full of it. "Many people think that Canadian salmon are on the west coast, adjacent to the Pacific Ocean. The most famous is British Columbia (BC), where you can see the heroic migration of salmon. Nova Scotia (NS) is in the east, that is, near the Atlantic Ocean, the fjords There are more wild Atlantic salmon over there. I don’t know if you have heard of Tasmanian salmon. In 1984, the Tasmanian government purchased the original salmon eggs from the Garden Hatchery in Nova Scotia, Canada , established a marine farm in Dover, southern Tasmania. Did you know? The famous gourmand Chua Lam once said that his popular Norwegian salmon in Hong Kong has a stronger taste than Tasmanian salmon , and even more oily, until he met the Tasmanian salmon, he recognized the elegant delicacy of this salmon. The native species is much more extreme!" They have a very good understanding.
"My family has many rules. Is there any legal risk? Or is it moral?" The young man buttoned his open sleeves again.
"Don't worry about that! My job is a forest guide. Lin Lin and I are also lifelong members of the Salmon Conservation Association. Salmon has great benefits here. Only after we protect it can we have food. The domestic and foreign mechanisms are different. Please forgive me for speaking bluntly. The driving force here is our own personal interests. If the driving force is strong, we will do it seriously and take over more conservation organizations. This is a fact, and work cannot be carried out without profit-driven work. Black bear conservation level least concerned ( LC, which means the least to worry about), shows that there are a lot of black bears, according to North American law, we are only hunting within the legal range, so there is no need to worry.”
"I understand money. I'm worried, why don't you tweet? It seems illegal in China."
"Thoughtful! Except for the factors of laws and regulations, many people will be filled with righteous indignation when they talk about animal protection, but their cognition is fundamentally wrong. Let me give you an example, the white rhino in Africa, including the extinction of the northern white rhino last year, if you go online Check the laws and regulations of world organizations on animal protection, including those of the WWF Animal Foundation. The conservation level is NT, the penultimate level, which is affected to a certain extent. This conservation level is six levels behind what you heard, and the sixth level is extinct in the wild. The seventh level is extinction. There are more than 20,000 heads in South Africa, and now it may be 18,000. The northern white rhinoceros is a close subspecies with the southern ones. The difference between Cantonese and Beijingers is completely the same species. The conservation level In one. Rhinoceros is not a paleontological species. It is not as good as crocodiles and pandas. Regarding conservation, reproduction is actually not a problem. The biggest problem is to prevent poaching. The South African government is very poor and has no money for animal protection. In the 1980s, there were many big ones. The farmer said to discuss it. So the government did not spend money, but just let the farmer open the countryside to breed rhinos, and give quotas every year to encourage paid hunting. Anyway, they mainly hunted old and frail ones. The farmer said Yes, a complete rhino hunting industry will be formed. Stopping poaching at this time is the work of conservation, otherwise it will harm the interests of farmers. Legally, people who encounter poachers can shoot.”
"Where's the male teddy bear? It's so cute." I really wanted to ask this question for the young man.
"Miss Xian'er, we serve you the main course, and it was delivered by air." The waiter reminded me to go back to my seat.
I concealed myself, looked back through the crack of the door, and looked straight at the entire hall, which consisted of an adjoining corridor. Old-fashioned typewriters, top hats, quills, handwritten letters, and even a copy of Shostakovich were displayed in the glass side cabinet. Strange piano score. Near the end of his second piano trio, he eats mushrooms and sees the villain moving, which is weird, humorous, and exciting. Maybe it's because of these thoughts that I'm a little lost.
"Miss Xian'er, why are you so inactive about eating? You still have time to look at the piano score, the food is getting cold!" I'm sure it's Meng Site's gentleness in my ear, half of my waist is hugged by a big hand, familiar, but also is strange.
Without thinking about it, I turned around and circled his neck. I was accidentally attacked by his lips. I stuck my face on his beard and was trying to catch him, but I broke free lightly.
"That is, Lin Lin?"
