Chapter 286 Riverside Restaurant
Originally, Lu Li was just curious about the origin of the ring space.

After all, everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty.If other people find out about the existence of the ring space, they don't know what kind of chain effect it will cause; but unexpectedly, the truth of the matter is really close at hand and within reach, which makes Lu Li inevitably a little excited.

"I would like to invite you to appraise that painting of mine to see if it was created by your grandfather. I wonder if you would like it?" Lu Li took the initiative to send out the invitation, "I have always been very curious about the story behind this painting. , but I still have no clue, I didn’t expect that during this trip in London, I found a clue by accident.”

"Then you still haven't thanked me!" Anna's voice rang out loudly from behind.

Evelyn showed a puzzled look, looked at Lu Li, then at Anna.Anna shrank her neck like a mouse meeting a cat, showing a flattering smile, and Evelyn's pupils shrank slightly, "Anna? Are you going to steal the wallet again?"

"Hey, hey." Anna turned around quickly, turned her back to Evelyn, and yelled loudly, "No, of course not." But the voice was obviously lacking in confidence, and anyone with a discerning eye could hear the tricks in it.

Evelyn couldn't help touching her forehead, and smiled apologetically at Lu Li, "I'm really sorry."

"Anna is right. I really want to thank her. Otherwise, I wouldn't have walked into this secret bar." Lu Li said with a smile, "What's more, the wallet has already been exchanged, so I have nothing to lose."

That frank gesture made Evelyn dumbfounded, and Anna's voice rang out, "That's it!"

Evelyn glanced at Anna angrily, and then Anna suddenly died down, lowering her head in desperation, her entire back showing unspeakable grievances.

In stark contrast with the previous flamboyant and hot image, it really makes people laugh.

"Even if you don't say it, I still want to make a request and hope to have a look at the original painting. I didn't expect that you sent the invitation first. Thank you very much." Evelyn brought the topic back, " I don’t know if you would like to share with me the story behind this painting. Back then, my grandfather went to China, but there was no news. When the family received the news, he had already passed away.”

Just as Lu Li was about to open his mouth to agree, he asked Evelyn about the story of her grandfather, but before she could open her mouth, Evelyn continued, "I have an appointment at four o'clock, and I have to rush over now. No Do you know if you are free tonight? Or tomorrow?"

"I don't have a problem with my time." Lu Li handed over the decision to Evelyn.

"Then tonight." Evelyn made a quick decision without any hesitation, "How about a riverside restaurant at eight o'clock?"

Although this is Lu Li's first visit to the UK, he has heard of the name of the Riverside Restaurant, not because it is one of the four most famous three-star Michelin restaurants in the UK, but because this restaurant was founded by a pair of brothers Yes, the brothers not only changed the situation of the entire British catering industry, but even influenced the eating habits of the British.

In 2010, the brothers were interviewed and said, "Half of the Michelin-starred restaurant chefs in the UK are from our kitchens." This is not an exaggeration, it is a fact.Among them, the chef Gordon Ramsay, who opened up the world with "Hell's Kitchen", is also their disciple.

It can be briefly summarized that the riverside restaurant is one of the top restaurants in the UK, and a dinner may cost about [-] pounds or even more.In such a restaurant, it is impossible to have a seat without a reservation.

"Riverside restaurant? Are you sure?" Lu Li said without hiding his surprise.They go there temporarily, and 90.00% of them have no seats.

Evelyn showed a big smile, and said freely, "If there are no seats, then let's have a picnic by the river at the door."

After she finished speaking, she turned around without waiting for Lu Li's answer, and her bright red skirt bloomed again, "Norman, Anna." After saying hello, she quickly left the bar.

Come and go in a hurry.However, in just ten minutes, it left an extremely deep impression on people, as if the red skirt could still be caught in the line of sight.

As soon as Evelyn left, Anna immediately came alive, turned around, and looked at Lu Li viciously, "Don't try to trick Evelyn! She already has a boyfriend! And she is very affectionate!"

Lu Li couldn't help but smile, nodded, and directly agreed, "Okay."

This answer was really too quick and too straightforward, which made Anna stunned, but there was nothing wrong with Lu Li's answer. For a while, she didn't know what to do, so she could only clenched her fists. He waved vigorously in front of Lu Li, "I'm serious! Otherwise, next time, you won't lose your wallet!"

Lu Li gently closed his jaw, waiting for Anna's next words, but Anna had no more words, which made him chuckle, "Otherwise, it would be my hands or my feet that were lost. After that, no Should there be further threatening content?"

The teasing tone made Anna's eyes widen, "You!"

The other guests in the bar burst into laughter. The atmosphere was lively, and Anna had no way to continue to refute. She could only turn around bitterly, sulking with herself.

Lu Li drank the whiskey in his glass in one gulp, thanked Norman for his hospitality, and then left the bar.Anna refused to have any form of communication with Lu Li, leaving only a back view, "watching" Lu Li to leave.

Back on the street again, Lu Li was in a daze. The surrounding scene was still a little different from the classic scene in the bar.He raised his head and looked around carefully. Lu Li still didn't see any signboards, not even a sign. They looked like ordinary houses.

A place like this can only be found by true Londoners.But if you can explore it, you will experience the most authentic London life.

To be honest, Lu Li really needs to thank Anna.

Afterwards, Lu Li went back to the hotel, and found his formal clothes from the suitcase. Michelin three-star restaurants like Riverside Restaurant require formal attire to enter. If you are wearing sneakers or jeans, the restaurant has a The right to refuse to allow guests to enter, even if the guests have made an appointment four months in advance.

There were not many occasions where Lu Li wore formal attire. Even when he was interviewed by the "New York Observer", he did not wear formal attire.For journalists, unless they are financial reporters or attending the White House press conference, they rarely need to use formal attire, especially for field reporters like Lu Li who are running outside, casual attire is their best partner , commonly known as "combat clothes".

Therefore, before setting off, Lu Li was a little hesitant, pretending to be formal would take up too much space.But after hesitating, he finally took it. After all, this is England, and they will go to France to taste high-end wines, and they may also attend formal occasions.

Unexpectedly, it was not used in France, but it was used in England.

Different from Los Angeles and Texas, London is more similar to New York in a certain sense - public transportation is very developed, and there are countless personal cars. For tourists, it is better to use public transportation or taxis instead of renting a car. will be more convenient.Because it takes a lot of time just to find a parking space, and the parking fee is really expensive.

So, Lu Li didn't rent a car in London.However, the riverside restaurant is not in the city of London. Lu Li called a private car through the hotel where he was staying, and slowly left the bustling and noisy city in the lingering sunset glow on the horizon.

The riverside restaurant is located in the small town of Bray near London, and it takes about 45 minutes to drive to Momo.

In a short street, this town gathers two Michelin three-star restaurants and is famous throughout the UK. Not only the British, but even many tourists will make a special trip here just to taste the top delicacies—— Foodies exist in every corner of the world.

Today is just an ordinary Wednesday, a normal working day, the town of Bray is very quiet, there is no roar of engines, no turbulent crowds, and no bustling lights, the Thames River flows quietly in the night, simple Wooden houses, restrained gray walls, dim street lamps, the irritability and hustle and bustle of summer have all quietly settled down, seeming to disappear in the gurgling water, such a peaceful and peaceful rural scene, outlines a typical British style painting.

The Riverside restaurant was established by a pair of French brothers, Albert Lu and Mike Lu, the two brothers came from a poor family, dropped out of school early, worked and studied in a bakery, and their biggest dream is to open their own bakery in the future shop.

The two brothers showed their culinary talents early on, but in France, where there are so many masters and strict classes, they hardly had a bright future. An unexpected trip to the UK made them see the dire situation of the British catering industry , here can be called a gourmet desert, so the two brothers decided to move to the UK and open a restaurant.

Unexpectedly, this decision made the two brothers change the history of British food. The elder brother owns a Michelin two-star restaurant in London; the younger brother is the owner of a riverside restaurant with three Michelin stars.Not only that, they also opened many restaurants in various cities in the UK and received numerous praises. The elder brother was awarded the French Legion of Honor, while the younger brother was awarded the Order of the British Empire in 2002 and was headed by the head of the British Empire, Edinburgh Duke Philip personally presented him.

It can be said that without these two brothers, the current state of food in the UK will be even more dire.This is absolutely unimaginable!
Since winning the Michelin three-star restaurant in 1985, the riverside restaurant has maintained this honor until now, becoming the restaurant outside of France that has maintained the Michelin three-star honor for the longest time.

For Lu Li, a foodie, the riverside restaurant is naturally very attractive, but it is too difficult to make a reservation. If you don't make a reservation three or four months in advance, you can't find a place at all.It was too late when the trip to England was finalized. At first, Lu Li thought he would miss it and had to wait for the next time.

Unexpectedly, but in another way, he finally came to the riverside restaurant.
