1110. The tide rises and falls (4/5)
When they received someone, they went to the hotel and asked Li’s father and mother to rest first and then prepare to go for supper.
Li Du took Sophie to thank the staff of JPMorgan Chase for sending their parents to Los Angeles.
For dinner, he plans to order urasawa, the top Japanese restaurant in Los Angeles. The specifications of this restaurant are Michelin three-star. Li Du has eaten Michelin three-star, which is really very particular.
A meal at urasawa includes 30 dishes, and a minimum of $400 per person is worth. There are only ten chairs inside. It is very popular and you have to book a week in advance.
However, Li Du has JPMorgan’s palladium card, which is too domineering. It is simply a panacea in the service industry. It can be used anywhere and can be used to order seats temporarily.
Li Du discussed with his parents to eat Japanese food. When Li's father learned that it was a Japanese restaurant, he shook his head firmly: "No, we can't make money from Japan, otherwise how can we be worthy of your great-grandfather and great-grandma?"
During the Japanese invasion of China, their county town was once occupied by the Japanese army. Because their village was close to the county town, the Japanese forced men from the village to repair artillery towers and dig trenches.
Even though the common people worked honestly, the Japanese killed them due to unknown reasons. At that time, the powerful laborers in half of the village died at the hands of the Japanese.
Li Du's grandfather was still young at that time and was taken by his neighbors to row along the river. Later, the Japanese were beaten away and returned to the village.
Until now, it is unknown where Li Du's great-grandmother's corpse is. It is a very dark history. Until now, the old people there have to wipe their tears when they talk.
Li Du nodded and changed to a restaurant. Li's father taught him seriously, saying that the Chinese and the Japanese were irreconcilable, and sooner or later they would have to fight, so that he could not do business with the Japanese in the United States.
Li’s father’s patriotism is simply patriotism. Their generation was infinitely loyal and infinitely loved the motherland, which was something that Li Du’s generation could not understand.
Eventually they chose a French restaurant to eat French and Mediterranean dishes.
Li Du is engaged in warehousing and auction work, not only has many experiences in diet, but also involves food from all over the country.
The French restaurant is called Blue Pastoral. It does not participate in Michelin restaurant ratings, but is also well-known in Los Angeles. It is located on the central floor of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel building and can directly overlook the shoreline of Los Angeles.
The building has a total of fifty-five floors, a height of 220 meters. The top floor has a better view, but the things you see are not clear enough, and the middle floor is just right.
Li Du kept calling, and Li's father was puzzled and said, "It's just a meal, it's necessary to make so many calls?"
Sophie explained: "It's a hassle to book seats in these restaurants temporarily. Lee should be thinking of ways to get seats through friends' channels."
Li's father looked like he suddenly realized and secretly said to Li's mother: "It's too difficult to have a meal in the United States. It's better to have a home and go out to a lot of restaurants."
"You said that the restaurant can entertain Sophie and her parents?" Li's mother said disgusted.
Father Li said in disappointment: "Why can't it be? They just open their mouths and stomachs. Just eat enough, why picky?"
After entering the restaurant, he stopped saying that.
The blue pastoral restaurant takes a natural route, which is equivalent to opening up a small French farmhouse in a reinforced concrete city.
It occupies an area of one floor, with flowers, grass and trees inside, all of which are real plants.
The restaurant is like a farm, with small wheat fields, vegetable fields, and small breeding areas. There are swimming fish in the pool and chickens and ducks in the poultry house.
People travel through the restaurant, like walking in the farmlands in France. When they walk to the window and look out, they can see the vast harbor to the southwest, and the vast city of Los Angeles to the northeast.
This restaurant is like a city in the sky, where people are prone to having an idea: I live in the sky, I am with God, and I can control everything in the world.
Li's father was shocked by the scene he saw. This farmland restaurant style was not in his small county town, and it was even more amazing.
Li Du told the restaurant manager his contact information. The manager took them to the best location in the southwest, and turned his head out and was the harbor.
Li's mother sat in and said with a smirk: "I can't do it, I'm afraid of heights."
Li Du and Sophie ordered the dishes, and the restaurant served slowly, but some pre-meal snacks were also very good, such as the Nut Caesar salad.
Li's father whispered to Li Du that the salad was sprinkled with some nut fragments sprinkled on the cabbage.
Li Du laughed, it was indeed the case, but this is a famous dish.
Toast with foie gras sauce, fish cheese ice fish, ham and cheese puffs, mullet with shallots and white wine, nine-layer studded clams, tuna belly with oil soaked red pepper, almond hot sauce, Portuguese duck claypot rice, etc. Once the dishes start, the speed is very fast.
The sunset is setting and the night falls.
Los Angeles is a city that never sleeps. Although there are not many high-rise buildings in this city, the lights are endless, and it looks even more shocking at night than during the day.
The harbor area downstairs also lit up lights. Some cruise ships were brightly lit and officially set off at night to start a new journey around the coastline.
Li Du and Sophie took their journey in Australia and Africa as a topic, mixing Chinese and English, leading the topic on the dining table, making the four old men laugh constantly.
When Sophie was introducing the pygmy people in Africa, Li Du's cell phone rang. After he answered it, he nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, let's start."
When he answered the phone, Sophie didn't say anything. When he hung up the phone, Sophie introduced it again.
Li Du looked at her side face with a smile. When she was concentrating on explaining, she was quiet and looked beautiful.
Suddenly someone exclaimed: "Hey, look down, what is at sea?"
Guests near the southwest side turned their heads and looked, and then screamed: "It's fire, the sea is burning? What is this? How did it appear? Take a quick photo! How could the ocean catch fire?"
The exclamation attracted Sophie and others, and they also looked out the window.
Looking down from the window, the sea surface of the harbor was pitch black, but in this darkness, there was a blazing fire in their place!
Golden flames appeared on the sea in a linear shape. They were originally a point, and then spread rapidly to both sides. The two lines of fire drew a gentle arc on the sea. After reaching a position, they gathered in the middle.
The firewires finally glued together, and a huge, burning heart-shaped pattern appeared!
At the moment when the heart-shaped pattern was formed, a line of flames burned instantly: Sophie Martin, the tide was rising and falling, but love remained unchanged.
Chapter completed!
