Chapter 60 Pansies

Pansy is the name of this western restaurant.

For a western restaurant, such a name seems a bit too "plain". Compared with the restaurants named in English, Italian, etc., the name of this restaurant is really not particularly brilliant.

But when Kitagawa Che was led into this Western restaurant by the welcoming waiter with a polite smile at the door, he realized what the secret of this restaurant's success was.

Walking into the lobby of the restaurant, the first thing you see is a small stage-like performance stage, which is big enough to accommodate a small band to perform. However, it seems that because of the special arrangement of tonight's program, there is only one on the performance stage. piano.

Surrounding the performance stage are small and spaced independent booths. The partitions between the booths are decorated with various flower pots and decorations. The overall color is light-colored. Mainly, there is a warm-colored mainless lamp above each booth that slightly sheds light at a very reasonable angle. The soft light is not dazzling. On the contrary, it can also give people an inexplicable sense of relaxation.

As for the small circle of booths near the central performance stage, in addition to the soft lighting, you can also enjoy the large resplendent chandelier in the restaurant, and a clear enough line of sight to watch the performance up close.

As you can imagine, outside the window not far away is the night scene with the lights on, but the store is brightly lit. Amidst the flowing music, the light of the crystal chandelier is gradually dimming. In the blurry halo, what was once out of reach seems to be very close at hand.

After waiting for Kitagawa Teru to look around the restaurant and look back, Rina Toshima, who was standing next to him, coughed lightly and reminded him in a low voice, "The reservation is on the second floor."

When he came back to his senses, he gave Tsugumi Rina an apologetic look, but the latter shook his head, and gave a look to the waiter who had been waiting for them.

"plz follow me."

The waiter took over the conversation very appropriately at this time and led them up the stairs to the seat reserved by Rina Toshima on the second floor.

But rather than booking a good location, it is better to say that this location has been reserved for the only shareholder Makoto Makoto Rina since the store opened.

This location has the widest sight range in the store. Looking down, you can clearly see the center of the performance stage. Looking out, you can easily see the night-dark street scene outside the window.

The two sat down at the booth, and the waiter handed over the menu.

"I'll just keep doing the same here."

Rina Toshima didn't even look at the menu, and handed it to Kitagawa Teru.

"Okay." The waiter nodded slightly and quickly wrote down a series of dishes in a small book. Then he turned his eyebrows and his eyes fell on Beichuan Che's side face. He bowed and whispered respectfully. Asked, "What about you?"

"One serving of ribeye, if it's cooked, follow the recommendation."

Kitagawa Che handed the menu back to the waiter.

"Medium, can you accept medium rare?"

To be on the safe side, after taking the menu, the waiter still asked.

"can."

Beichuan Che nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

Makoto Tsugumi said in advance that the raw materials of this restaurant are quite good, and the prices on the menu are enough to prove this point. So, if the raw materials are good enough, in terms of rib-eye steak, the recommended degree of doneness is five points Well-done to medium-rare, which cooks the inside of the steak while retaining the texture and tenderness of the steak itself.

But in the final analysis, as long as it is not one or three, it is actually acceptable to be mature, and it is only a range in itself.

"One portion may not be enough. Can I order another one?"

Rina Toshima raised her eyebrows and looked at Kitagawa Che, reminding him.

Based on what she knew about Bei Chuan Che's appetite, such a serving of ribeye was probably not enough.

"Didn't you order it too?"

Kitagawa Che met Makoto Tsugumi's eyes.

"Joke, it's not like you don't know how much I can eat." Tsugumi Rina raised her eyebrows, "I have a big stomach, and the ones I ordered are only enough for me. For you, I suggest adding another pasta , or another steak, it’s all right, and it’s even okay to add another grilled chicken wing.”

The purpose of their visit this time is to have a full meal. As for what others think, that is other people's business.

On this point, Toshimaru Rina has always looked free and easy.

In life, if you care too much about other people's opinions, it is definitely easy to ignore your own ideas.

"Of course, personally, I recommend Shuangjiang. I have tasted the Shuangjiang Zhi here before, and it is very good."

Rina Toshima blinked.

"Then please add another frost."

Beichuan Che looked at the waiter.

"Okay, in terms of maturity, it's also [-]%, okay?"

the waiter asked.

"can."

"So, as for drinks, it's still the same?"

The waiter turned around and asked Rina Toshima what she wanted.

When the sole shareholder came to dine alone, he would always drink some red wine, but if he still drank today, it would not be a big deal, and she could tell that Beichuan Che was actually young.

"No, I won't drink wine today, let's drink tea." Rina Toshiro thought for a while, "A pot of rose tea."

"Okay, then, please wait a moment."

After the waiter took note of the order, he bowed politely, turned around and left lightly.

"It's almost time now." When the waiter walked away, Tsugumi Rina took out her mobile phone from her pocket and glanced at the time, "I'll see tonight's pianist in about two to three minutes." .”

"player?"

Kitagawa Che looked at Makoto Tsugumi Rina curiously.

"From six o'clock in the evening, there will be a fixed piano performance here. Are there fixed or random players? I didn't ask about the specifics." Makoto Makoto paused, and his eyes fell on the lobby on the first floor On the stage, Mei Mou was full of anticipation, "The last time I came, it was a month ago. Now who he invited, I really don't know."

"Then this time it's quite mysterious."

Kitagawa Che added with a smile.

"Maybe." Rina Tashigi paused and continued to introduce responsibly, "The piano performance will last until eight o'clock in the evening. During this period, the restaurant will provide various snacks and freshly made desserts. These are free of charge. It’s worth mentioning that if you come to dine on a birthday, you will get a [-]% discount on your meal and a birthday cake as a gift.”

"Then, can the bill be waived?"

Kitagawa Che made a little joke.

"Okay." Rina Toshima nodded, "Just go down later and I'll get you a card."

"Forget it." Bei Chuan Che shook his head, and then looked towards the center of the stage in the hall. You are cheap, I am not at ease."

"Should I say it's you?" Rina Toshima chuckled, lowered her eyebrows slightly, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "However, there are exceptions other than using cards."

"Ok?"

Kitagawa Che glanced curiously at Tsugumi Rina's side face.

"Female guests named Morishima are exempt from the bill."

Tsugumi Makoto Rina sighed, and there was more reminiscence in his eyes.

Beichuan Che didn't rush to answer, but just silently waited for her next words.

"The other owner of this store is an uncle of mine who is still unmarried." Rina Tashiru paused and explained, "The reason why this store is called Pansy is because that person likes this flower. , plus..." She stopped and looked at Beichuan Che, "Do you know what the flower language of pansies is?"

Beichuan Che shook his head.

"It's missing."

Rina Toshima didn't show off and gave the answer.

Sometimes, life is such a coincidence that the person my uncle misses day and night has already had a daughter, and her daughter is still studying in his class.

"Is he still waiting?"

Beichuan Che hesitated for a moment and then asked.

"He intends to wait."

Rina Toshima lowered her eyebrows.

For no reason, Kitagawa Che thought of a movie he once watched. He held the grandest banquet in the city just to wait for his childhood sweetheart, but just like the green light that looked across the other shore, it seemed very close. But there is already a long river of undercurrents that cannot be crossed.

Clap, the lights dimmed.

A spotlight quietly fell on the side of the stage.

"Oh." Toshimaru Rina whispered, reminding Kitagawa Che, "The performance has begun...??"

Suddenly, her voice stopped abruptly.

Under the spotlight, a figure familiar to both her and Beichuan Chejin came into their eyes.

As the lights moved, the beautiful figure walked step by step towards the piano in the middle of the stage.
