The 136th chapter birthday wishes (2)

Restaurant-story restaurant next to Tower Bridge in London. This is the restaurant that I had already booked when I arrived in London the last time.

In London, when you want to have a meal at a popular high-end restaurant, you basically have to book more than one month in advance.

Zuo Zai's duck and waffle restaurants that he often visited before are open 24 hours a day, so there is a seat without reservations, but the ones that can be queued are all in ordinary locations. If you want a good view by the window, you must at least one or two months in advance.

Over the years, London's three-star Michelin has been eaten by Zuo Zai and Cheng Lie for several rounds.

The restaurant-story that Zuo Zai booked this time is not Mi San Restaurant.

But this is definitely a restaurant with the name of the dish - Story Restaurant.

Every dish in the restaurant is very interesting. The chef is particularly good at using apples to make dishes, such as hollowing out the middle of the apples to leave a complete appearance.

The diner thought the chef was willful and gave an apple dish. After a closer look, he found that the apple could be opened, and then he put a raw beef and apple salad in the middle.

The combination of ingredients is unique. Lavender and lobster are absolutely magical, and they are definitely not inferior to duck and waffle restaurants.

The best way to have a meal at the Story Restaurant is to be part of the restaurant. Take a book over and leave the book on the restaurant's bookshelf. If you come to this restaurant later, you can find the books you left behind at that time and what you wrote on the title page.

The most important thing is that the candles in this restaurant are very special.

The candle is made of very pure bread butter. After the candle is lit, the butter begins to melt slowly as the candle burns. The newly heated butter is scraped off with a bread knife and applied to the bread. It is warm and smooth, and has a unique taste in my heart.

Because the bread is so delicious, when Zuo Zai arrived at this restaurant for the first time, he was full just by eating bread.

There are 14 dishes in the whole-menu in the restaurant, but there is basically no room for Zuo Zai’s stomach to try.

The last time the Zuo family came to London, they decided to "eat again in the old place". They could book Cheng Lie's birthday, so they could come with Brother Lie.

"Brother Lie, do you think the butter burned by candle wicks is better than usual?" Zuo asked Cheng Lie a while ago.

"It's a bit special. Such butter seems to be integrated with bread, toast and toast butter, a double-baked combination." Cheng Lie's voice sounded very nice. After hearing Cheng Lie's double-baked combination, Zuo Zai couldn't help but eat a small piece of bread.

"I still won't discuss bread with you. If I continue to discuss this, I will eat bread until I'm full." Zuo Zai put down the bread in his hand a little reluctantly.

"Then what do you want to discuss with me?" Cheng Lie asked.

"Today is your birthday, so of course I want to discuss your birthday wish." Zuo Zai replied happily.

"Didn't you say that your wish won't work if you say it. This time you come to London, aren't you going to talk to me about your marriage proposal?" Cheng Lie asked with a smile.

"No, I'm going to talk to Uncle Cheng about the proposal, but I'll definitely come to celebrate your birthday first." Zuo Zai was telling the truth, with a little aggrieved on his face.

"Thank you for remembering my birthday." Cheng Lie said to Zuo Zai with a smile.

"I forgot who I have forgotten, and I can't forget yours. Last year, I didn't forget it, but I didn't dare to look for you." Zuo Zai spoke in a sincere tone.

Cheng Lie didn't say anything, smiled quietly, and looked at Zuo Zai gently, as if he was thinking about something.

"Uncle Cheng told you about the proposal of marriage? I originally wanted to wait for Uncle Cheng to confess to him in person, but Uncle Cheng has been in London for a long time and has not returned to Shanghai. I had to come to London to apologize for the crime." Zuo Zai continued to explain truthfully.

"Xiaomaibao." Cheng Lie called Zuo Zai, he hadn't called this title for a long time.

"Hmm?" Zuo looked up at Cheng Lie again.

"My dad probably won't go back to Shanghai in the near future." Cheng Lie said to Zuo again.

"Uncle Cheng wants to remanage the headquarters?" Zuo Zai was a little confused. Cheng Fengchun's current focus was obviously on doing charity in the country.

"No, my father is not in good health recently. He has been in the hospital for a while and should be discharged tomorrow." Cheng Lie and Zuo said a little.

"Ah? What's wrong with Uncle Cheng? Is it serious? Uncle Cheng is sick, why didn't you tell me? Let's go to the hospital for a look now." Zuo Zai didn't even want to eat.

"Now that time has passed, my dad should have a rest. Let's pick him up and discharge him from the hospital tomorrow. He will definitely be very happy to see you, otherwise if I go alone, he will be angry again." Cheng Lie continued to comfort Zuo Zai.

"What's wrong with Uncle Cheng?" Zuo Zai continued to ask.

"As soon as my dad arrived in London, he told me that he wanted to go to your house to propose marriage, and his family agreed, so I could only tell him the truth. As a result, my dad probably thought I was too useless and scolded me angrily, and then I was so angry that I fainted." Cheng Lie finally answered Zuo Zai's question.

Cheng Lie said he was angry, but what does this matter have to do with Cheng Lie?

The one who was injured was Cheng Lie, the one who was scolded was Cheng Lie, and even Uncle Cheng was irritated.

"It's all my fault." Zuo Zai's eyes turned red with guilt after hearing Cheng Lie's answer.

"My dad was anxious, so I shouldn't say it too directly at once. I always felt that my dad was strong and could withstand any blow. After thinking about it, my dad was already in his seventies and had to worry about my personal problems.

This is indeed mainly my problem. Don’t blame yourself too much. My dad’s current condition is not too serious. The doctor said that you should not be stimulated anymore. You will be fine after you go home and stay for a while." Cheng Lie tried his best to comfort Zuo Zai.

"Brother Lie, after all, this is my fault. Why do I always do the wrong things now?" Zuo Zai was very sad. He first hurt Brother Lie's heart, and now he hurt Uncle Cheng's heart.

"Xiaomaibao, today is my birthday. Is it appropriate for you to have pear blossoms and rain like this?" Cheng Lie asked Zuo Zai in a tone like spring wind and rain.

"It seems that it's not suitable. Brother Lie, are you really not going to tell me your birthday wish?" Zuo Zai adjusted his mood and asked with a smile.

"My dad said, your parents have promised him to go to your house to propose marriage. If my dad really goes, would you agree?" Cheng Lie asked tentatively.

"Is this your birthday wish?" Zuo Zai didn't know how to answer Cheng Lie's question, so he had to think of a new question.

"Yes, this is a wish that I will not realize after I say it." Cheng Lie replied with a smile.

"Brother Lie, I..." Zuo Zai was speechless.

"Look, I scared you. I asked this question for myself a year ago. I didn't celebrate my birthday last year, but if I wanted to celebrate it, I might have such a wish.

My dad can even think of proposing marriage, but why didn’t I think of it at that time?

If I were more proactive and took down your parents directly, my dad might not be irritated by me now. So, look, it’s my problem after all, right?” Cheng Lie tried to comfort Zuo Zai in a different way.
