Chapter 38 Molecular Cuisine
When entering this restaurant decorated like a science laboratory, Song Zhiwei sighed in amazement: "I heard that molecular cuisine is related to high-tech cuisine, but I didn't expect that even the restaurant looks so grand."

Ye Jiaqi smiled and said, "Probably because it is different from ordinary restaurants."

Under the guidance of a waiter dressed as a scientific researcher, the three of them came to an "experimental table" and sat down. Even the periodic table of elements was printed on the table.

The waiter told them that the restaurant does not have an à la carte menu, but only offers five priced set meals.

Song Zhiwei wanted to order the cheapest one, but Ye Jiaqi told the waiter first to order three top-level set meals.

"Although it is a set meal, the dishes are freely matched, so each of us will not eat exactly the same." Ye Jiaqi explained.

"You young people just like novelties. Look at this table, chairs, and lamp." Lin Qiong looked around curiously, and commented, "It doesn't look like a restaurant at all, it's too cold and warm. But Wei Xuan should like it Here, next time you come together."

Song Zhiwei didn't know if the "you" in her mouth meant her, Ye Jiaqi and Wei Xuan, or only the latter two.

"Okay, Brother Yuexuan will come with you next time." Ye Jiaqi nodded obediently.

Lin Qiong chatted again about the interesting things about the two of them when they were young, and Song Zhiwei, who had nothing to say, looked at the periodic table of elements on the table boredly until the first appetizer was served.

Unlike the pots and pans in ordinary restaurants, the tableware here looks like test tubes, measuring cups, petri dishes and the like for scientific experiments.

The food in the petri dish was square and looked like a few small pieces of bread stacked on top of each other. Song Zhiwei didn't think too much, picked up the fork and ate it into her mouth in one bite.

"Miss Song, don't you like the taste of truffles and caviar?" Ye Jiaqi asked in surprise when she saw her actions.

"What truffles and caviar?" Song Zhiwei was stunned for a moment and asked back.

Ye Jiaqi pointed to the empty food plate and said, "That's what you ate just now."

Song Zhiwei was dumbfounded, "I thought it was ordinary bread."

She swallowed such an expensive ingredient without tasting it carefully, and Song Zhiwei was very distressed.

"Molecular gastronomy is actually to 'deceive' diners in terms of appearance, but it is food full of surprises after eating." Ye Jiaqi explained with a smile, "So what you see that looks like bread may be caviar, and what looks like caviar may be caviar. Some kind of fruit. In order to let the diners know what kind of ingredients they are eating, there are markings on the tableware.”

Song Zhiwei took a closer look and found that there was indeed a line of small characters on the edge of the "petri dish", but because it was in English, she didn't notice it at all just now.

That’s right, the top-level set meal costs close to a thousand yuan per person, how can the restaurant fool the diners with ordinary slices of bread.

"Then I was wasted." Song Zhiwei smiled awkwardly.

"Jiaqi, if you don't remind me, I really can't tell what I'm eating." Lin Qiong took a small sip and said in surprise and joy.

"Aunt Qiong, eating every dish is like guessing riddles, it's very interesting." Ye Jiaqi smiled playfully.

For this meal, they ate foie gras that looked like chocolate, sea bass that looked like charcoal, and ice cream that looked like apples.
Every dish is different from what it looks like, and every bite has an inexplicable little happiness, which makes people feel good amidst the surprise.

"Molecular cuisine is not only a modern cooking style, but also a science and an art." While savoring, Ye Jiaqi said, "Many people think that molecular cuisine is just a culinary concept full of gimmicks. Plating different appearances, so as to achieve the purpose of selling high prices. But I think that molecular cuisine perfectly integrates modern technology and traditional culinary aesthetics, combines two seemingly contradictory concepts, and creates layers of innovation, just like a person The outside and the inside, the outside should be fashionable and generous, but the inside should be kept humble and simple.”

"Jiaqi, after all these years you have not changed, you are still the good girl that Aunt Qiong grew up with." Lin Qiong said happily.

Song Zhiwei felt that Lin Qiong was a bit preconceived when she judged a person's character by just a few words, but she had to admit that many of Ye Jiaqi's words could resonate with her. resemblance.

Involuntarily, Song Zhiwei picked up the wine glass and toasted her: "Miss Ye, what you said is really good, please allow me to toast you."

After the meal, when it was time to pay the bill, Song Zhiwei really wanted to pay her own share, but she had no choice but to ask Ye Jiaqi to treat her.

"Miss Ye, thank you for this meal, I will treat you to dinner another day." Song Zhiwei said shyly.

"Okay." Ye Jiaqi didn't refuse, nodded gently and smiled, "It's a pleasure chatting with Ms. Song, I hope we can meet often in the future. I'm not familiar with Rongcheng, so I don't know if Ms. Ye can be my tour guide." 'Woolen cloth?"

Just as Song Zhiwei was about to agree, Lin Qiong interrupted: "Xiao Song is usually very busy with work, Jiaqi, if you want to get familiar with the customs of Rongcheng, you can find Aunt Qiong, and if I don't have time, Wei Xuan will also accompany you. "

Hearing what Lin Qiong said, Song Zhiwei had no choice but to change her words: "I'm really busy at work, and working overtime is uncertain, and I'm afraid it will delay Miss Ye's arrangements. I can try my best to make time, but I can't guarantee that I will be there. Sorry."

"It's okay." Ye Jiaqi said quickly, "Then Miss Song's time will prevail. If you are free, ask me out, and I will definitely attend."

"Ok."

It was getting late, Song Zhiwei said goodbye to Ye Jiaqi and Lin Qiong, and took a taxi home alone.

Looking at the back of her getting into the car, Lin Qiong couldn't help muttering: "I don't know if she understands what I mean today."

"Aunt Qiong, what are you talking about?" Ye Jiaqi asked without hearing her muttering.

"It's nothing." Lin Qiong immediately recovered her smile, and changed the subject, "Jiaqi, Wei Xuan is going home for dinner tomorrow, so come to Aunt Qiong's house if you have time."

Hearing Wei Xuan's name, Ye Jiaqi's face seemed to be stained with shyness, she nodded, "Okay, Aunt Qiong."

"You haven't seen each other for so many years, Wei Xuan must be very happy to see you." Lin Qiong said with a smile.

"I'm also looking forward to seeing Brother Xuan." Ye Jiaqi replied with a shy smile like a girl.

Compared with Lin Qiong and Ye Jiaqi, Song Zhiwei was not in a very good mood after returning home. For some reason, she felt as if she had gone to a "Hongmen Banquet", which contained too much meaning.

Even if she thought too much, Ye Jiaqi and Wei Xuan didn't have that kind of relationship, but she also felt that with Wei Xuan's conditions, only an elite beauty like Ye Jiaqi was worthy of him.
