Chapter 29, Dinner Date

One after another exquisite dishes were placed on the table, and the three girls couldn't help but take out their mobile phones to take pictures.

After asking the three girls for their opinions, Jiang Chen ordered a bottle of white wine for them on the recommendation of the waiter. Since he was driving and had to take the three of them back later, he stopped drinking.

Although Jian Bund is a Michelin-starred restaurant, the price per customer here is not very high. For a meal like this, the combined consumption of several people is only a few thousand yuan, and the bottle of wine may be priced at a vegetable price. several times.

Of course, it is relative to say that it is not high. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is almost their monthly salary, and most people are not willing to come here for consumption.

Jiang Chen specifically asked the waiter and learned from his mouth that the reason why white wine was recommended was because the ingredients of Fujian cuisine mostly use delicacies from the mountains and seas, mainly to highlight the taste of the ingredients, and there is less human intervention in the later stage. The taste tends to be fragrant and elegant, and sometimes the taste is sweet and sour.

Therefore, most dishes can be paired with fresh and refreshing white wine, because white wine has much less tannin than red wine, is light-bodied, and will not conflict with the elegant taste of the dishes.

Moreover, white wine generally has a prominent floral and fruity aroma, which complements the elegant aroma of dishes. Finally, most white wines have high acidity, which can help remove the fishy greasiness of food and bring out the umami flavor of food.

Unexpectedly, there were so many explanations in it. After hearing this, several people instantly felt that their experience points were rising, and they couldn't wait to start using their chopsticks.

"Wow, it's worthy of the Michelin Black Pearl. This one is delicious! This one is also delicious." Zhao Xiaoyu is usually a snack foodie. Suddenly seeing so many delicious foods, she couldn't stop and kept putting them in her mouth. Holding the food, his cheeks were stuffed and bulging.

"Are you reincarnated from a starving ghost? You're not afraid of being choked to death." Chen Yuwei picked up a tissue and wiped the residue from the corners of her mouth. Seeing her gobbling, she couldn't help feeling a little helpless, and raised her forehead with her hands.

Chen Yuwei and Jiang Ling were much more reserved. They calmly picked up the delicacies on the table, put them into their mouths and chewed them slowly. They commented on these delicious meals and made some exclamations from time to time.

"How is it? The dishes I chose from this restaurant are still suitable for your taste?" Jiang Chen looked at the appearance of the three of them and asked with a smile.

"It's super good, and the food is delicious. It's really a treasure restaurant. It's really a worthwhile trip." Chen Yuwei nodded and replied, and at the same time gave Jiang Chen a thumbs up.

"Indeed, the taste of my hometown, I didn't expect to be able to eat such authentic Fujian cuisine in Linhai." Jiang Ling is from Hu Jianren. She is very familiar with the taste of her hometown and was very surprised after tasting it.

"After eating this meal, I feel a little homesick." Jiang Ling's eyes showed a look of longing, and she glanced through the window into the distance, feeling a little absent-minded for a moment.

"If you miss home, why didn't you go back during the National Day holiday?" Jiang Chen asked.

"Hi, our team just took on a big job before the National Day. We have been working on this project throughout the holiday. We only finished it two days ago, so we don't have time."

Indeed, newcomers who have just joined the company are not qualified to be picky.

Jiang Ling is from Xia City, Hu Jian Province. The distance from there to Linhai is not much different from when Jiang Chen returned to his hometown. Coupled with the time, he has not been back for a long time.

Zhao Xiaoyu, who was heartless and happily eating, was from Lin'an. It was very close to Linhai, so he could go back often.

The food continued to be served, and the four of them chatted happily.

Jiang Ling looked at Jiang Chen and said, "I heard that you work in a communications company? What do you usually do?"

"Well, I just started working. The leader took care of me and assigned me some trivial chores. I spent most of my time fishing." Jiang Chen said truthfully.

"It's so enviable!" After hearing Jiang Chen's fate, Zhao Xiaoyu couldn't help but join in the conversation.

"Before, the two of us were very curious, what kind of man could capture our Yuwei's heart? You must know that in the four years of college, many boys confessed to her, but none of them could catch her eye. ." Jiang Ling looked at Chen Yuwei and Jiang Chen, paused and continued:

"No one expected that in the end, he would fall into the hands of his childhood sweetheart. You guys don't even dare to act like this in TV dramas, right?"

"That's right, if this happened among classmates, all the boys in our class might send you blades." Zhao Xiaoyu nodded with deep sympathy.

"Why, is Yuwei so popular with boys in school?"

Jiang Chen turned to look at Chen Yuwei and found that there was already a pair of loving eyes looking at him. The two of them smiled at each other and held the hands under the table unconsciously.Chen Yuwei's eyes stayed on Jiang Chen: "When my mother told me about this at first, the purpose at that time was to meet an acquaintance. I thought it would be good to have another friend in this city in the future. I didn't expect that Together."

Jiang Chen's hands clenched tighter: "Maybe this is fate. Maybe we fell in love at first sight when we were young."

"Ah bah, it's just me being cheap, so I shouldn't be asking about this. Isn't this handing the knife into your hands to stab me?"

Jiang Ling, who discovered the little tricks of the two, suddenly regretted opening her mouth. She was accidentally fed a mouthful of dog food by the two of them, and the food on the table suddenly became less fragrant.

"Come on, I'll have tea instead of wine today, let's have one together."

"Thank you, classmate Jiang, for your hospitality today..."

Jiang Chen said as he picked up the cups and touched them one by one, then drank together.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

The sun had just crossed the horizon, revealing half of its body.

By the Pujiang River, a handsome man with a strong body and strong steps was jogging on the special road. His clothes were already wet with sweat.

After returning from exercise, Jiang Chen simply washed up and put on some clothes, then went downstairs and drove his urus to the company for work.

On the first day of work after the holiday, Jiang Chen didn't want to be late, so Jiang Chen had to be more diligent.

Jiang Chen raised his hand and looked at the time on the watch.

He went to work at nine o'clock, and it was just early eight o'clock now. Since the company was not far away, Jiang Chen had plenty of time, so he went to find a place to have breakfast.

It took more than 20 minutes before and after Jiang Chen arrived at the entrance of the company, drove down the underground parking lot, and found a relatively secluded place to stop.

As soon as I got off the car, I saw a figure getting out of the opposite car. It was Director Guo, Jiang Chen's direct leader. The two got out of the car at the same time and happened to meet each other.

"Uh, hello, Director Guo." Out of respect for the leader, Jiang Chen said hello first. He had already been seen by the other party and couldn't hide even if he wanted to.

"Jiang Chen, you came here quite early. You~ have you changed your car again?" Director Guo looked at Jiang Chen and his new car in surprise, but couldn't help complaining in his heart:

"My dear, is there a mine at home and a Lamborghini on the road? What the heck, it's so annoying that people are comparing themselves to each other. I've worked hard for so many years, but no one has even a single hairy leg, and my family has so much money. You still have to take a knitting class for money, the world of rich people is really confusing."

"Hey~" Jiang Chen nodded. He didn't know how to answer, so he had to scratch his head to hide his embarrassment.

"Hi, you kid~~
Let's go upstairs together. "

Director Guo called Jiang Chen enthusiastically and walked towards the elevator together.

Although he is new here and has only been working for a few months, Jiang Chen is still very satisfied with his workplace.

His colleagues in the office treated him very kindly. Perhaps because Jiang Chen was a newcomer and there was no direct competition with them, it was easy to get along with them.

Director Guo, the direct leader, has a good temper and knows how to care for his subordinates. Judging from his interactions these days, he is not a narrow-minded person. This makes Jiang Chen breathe a sigh of relief. After all, for this job that allows him to fish. Work has already created a relationship (well, the main thing is that he can fish at work), and he doesn't want to give up for the time being.
