Indulge in Life in America

Perse restaurant has always been recognized by tourists as a must-eat restaurant in New York. This restaurant was established in 2004 by the chef Thomas Keller who has the status of "Godfather" in the catering industry. It has returned to the original taste of the food and became civilized. In Apple City, the word PerSe means "essence" in Latin.

The 9-course menu every day fully demonstrates the original flavor of the ingredients, showing the essence of French cuisine to the fullest, and there are almost no duplicate ingredients. Each ingredient is personally selected and introduced by chef Thomas Keller. The degree of harshness is more than that of precision instruments.

It is also because Thomas Keller always pursues the beauty of the essence of the ingredients and presents them to customers in the most perfect way. With his almost critical attitude, he has established his legendary position in the chef industry, even the famous Hermès Group. Zeng came here especially, and jointly launched a silk scarf with him.

The restaurant is located in the Time Warner Building with beautiful views of Central Park. After receiving Amanda Hurst, Yang Cheng went straight to the restaurant. Today Amanda Hurst wore an all-black lady's suit with white high heels. With a white handbag, this all-black outfit is effortless, but sometimes it makes people feel dull, but Amanda's unique embellishment of white makes her whole person fashionable and capable.

However, when she first got off the car, this crazy woman did not hesitate to spit on the casually dressed Yang Cheng, "Oh my God, jason, did you dress like this to date me? The reporter thought I had a little white face again. ."

Yang Cheng ignored the sweat of his forehead and glared at the mad woman who couldn't stop talking, "If I was recognized as a little white face, there would be no normal man in the whole world, so can you raise me?"

Amanda smiled charmingly, and took Yang Cheng's arm to molested him, "Why can't it be raised? The dignified Hurst family can't afford a man?"

Damn, this kind of words can only be said by the crazy women of the Hearst family. Listen, they treat men as pets. Yang Cheng suddenly felt that his position in Amanda’s heart might not be as good as the one she raised. A group of Wang Xing people.

I stepped into the elevator without a good mood, and said to the elevator attendant, "perse restaurant."

As the elevator rose slowly, Yang Cheng moved her neck unnaturally. It turned out that Amanda was sneaking up again. Today, Yang Cheng wore looser slacks and did not tie a belt. This gave a crazy woman a chance. The opportunity.

Yang Cheng stared at the waiter with his head down slantingly in front of him without blinking, holding his breath, and letting Amanda's bare hands wander through the black forest wantonly.

"Ding Dong." Not long after the elevator reached the target floor, Amanda pulled out her hand unwillingly amidst the welcome of the waiter, obviously not embarrassing Yang Cheng, which made her feel a little frustrated. There is also the bravery and heroic spirit of women when sitting in the company, but the little girl's upper body is not happy with what she can't get, pouting and writing "in a bad mood, don't come to hot old lady" caveat!

Yang Cheng was too lazy to coax her, with a triumphant smile on her mouth, leading Amanda to the entrance of the restaurant. The iconic blue door, garden and porch dotted with vegetation have even become a place of pilgrimage for gluttonous diners.

The two entered the restaurant through the glass door next to them. After confirming the reserved seats with the waiter, they entered the main dining area through the salon area. A minimalist restaurant with extravagance came into view, with unknown names lingering between their noses. The fragrance of flowers and plants, as well as the light and pleasant murmur of water, are full of low-key luxury.

The main dining area with high and low design has only 15 tables, brown and gray alternately, large pieces of dried flowers hanging on the wall and other elements make the restaurant extraordinarily elegant and comfortable, and the large spacing between each table is also a feature First, in order to make the dining environment more comfortable, the restaurant reduces the passenger flow and only provides higher-end service quality.

The waiter dressed in a black Armani suit, with a standard and sincere smile on his face, greeted the guests with an elegant and solemn texture.

The table reserved by Yang Cheng is the best place in the restaurant. It is located in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the central park with a silver snow world is at your feet. Of course, if it is the central park with lush greenery in summer, everything will be more perfect.

A small round table is covered with white tablecloths and plates. It is simple but not simple. When you open the menu, the left and right pages are printed with exquisite artistic bronzing characters with today’s chef’s recommended set menu. On the right is another vegetable The set meal, of course, every day except for the foie gras and caviar, which are essential for a French meal, other dishes are different.

Yang Cheng glanced briefly and said that there was no problem. He especially emphasized to the waiter that he opened a bottle of table wine and two signature foie gras, and then sent the waiter away.

Spacious dining environment, no partitions in time, as long as the voice is lowered, the guests do not have to worry about the conversation being eavesdropped, Amanda is satisfied with a napkin on her lap, holding her cheek, her misty blue eyes are full of sadness Bei Chi Qingqi asked Yang Cheng, "You are not curious why I have to date you today?"

Yang Cheng wiped the sweat on the palm of her hand with a warm wet wipe, and the corners of her mouth rose. This question could not help him, "I know, it will be your birthday soon? If I remember correctly?"

Amanda was really surprised now. The angelic face was so surprised that it was deformed, and she even opened her mouth in a gloomy manner. Yang Cheng reminded him amusedly, "The waiter is here, if you don't want to be laughed at, just shut it up. The mouth is good."

Amanda hurriedly shut up and glared at Yang Cheng amorously, but the smile on her face couldn't be concealed. After the waiter poured the pre-dinner wine for the two of them, Amanda couldn't wait to ask, "You Did you check it on purpose? I don't believe you will remember my birthday."

Yang Cheng said heartily, "Fortunately, the little master is clever, do your homework in advance, otherwise you don't want to go home completely today."

But his lips murmured, "Are you kidding? We have been playing together since we were young, don't I remember your birthday?"

Amanda may be too happy, and didn't go deep into it. For the time being, she believed Yang Cheng's nonsense, "Then tell me, why should I celebrate this birthday with you?"

Yang Cheng didn't want to answer this question, but in the eyes of Amanda's expectation, she replied softly, "I remember you made a wish at your birthday party for a year, hoping to marry yourself when you were 30. , If you don’t have the one you like, find an ideal lover who can see it, and have a perfect 419."

Amanda snapped her fingers happily, "In all, I didn't pick the wrong person, you remember all of them?"

Yang Cheng slandered in his heart, "I also hate myself, why do I suddenly think of it?"

Just when Yang Cheng didn't know how to answer, the waiter who came over to serve with a plate with a smile saved his life.

In Amanda's murderous eyes, she coughed awkwardly, "Dine first, and there will be time to chat tonight."

But I kept beating the drum in my heart, "Stay? Flee? Stay? Flee?"

The first appetizer was French cheese puffs. In order to conceal the uneasy Yang Orange, I grabbed one, and I could feel a faint warmth at my fingertips. After putting it in my mouth, the crispy cheese under the transparent skin instantly When the pulp bursts, the mouth is immediately filled with a strong milky fragrance, and the light salty taste will quietly wake up the long-sleeping taste buds like the spring breeze. Because of its sweet and salty taste, it is delicious with a pre-dinner wine. It also has a thick and noodle flavor, which is very suitable for appetizers;

And with the appearance of appetizers, tonight’s gluttonous feast officially kicked off. The second appetizer is a delicate salmon cone. A beautiful silver container contains a cone the size of a finger. The skin is crispy like ice cream, with smooth sweet onion whipped cream inside, and the plump salmon with a faint smoky smell. The taste is not heavy, but the layered texture is fascinating. It seems to be licking one. Sweet cone ice cream;

Then carefully baked the warm yeast bread with butter, which provided sufficient starch and heat for today's dinner;

With just two appetizers, it gives people a feeling of satisfaction and expectation of the next main course. Amanda also wants to use her spare time to continue to ask questions, but perse's serving speed is accurate to milliseconds, so she doesn't give her this opportunity at all. .

With the first main course, there is also a small mica spoon. Needless to say, the diners who come here know that this is the only constant dish in Perse restaurant-oysters and pearls. This dish is not only It is the shop’s signature and has become a classic of modern cuisine.

Yang Cheng also had the opportunity to taste this dish again after many years. He opened the lid and found a hill of black and shiny caviar. This is the longest-lived white sturgeon caviar from the North Pacific coast. The two on the left The oysters are perfectly similar in shape and size. They are one of the best products in a hundred. The yellow sauce is covered with a layer of sago, and the color is perfectly matched.

In addition to the exquisite ingredients, the logic of this dish is also intriguing. Yang Cheng remembers communicating with Thomas Keller before. The white sago represents pearls, and the pearls are born in a mussel shell. The use of raw oysters to replace mussels is closely linked and has a profound meaning.

The taste of eating can not be described in words. You can only experience it by tasting it yourself. The intoxicating aroma and sweet taste blend and balance the fresh and salty taste of caviar sauce. The plump oyster is added to increase the texture of the grains, and only the full flesh of the first part is used. Because it has been heated with wine juice, there is no extra fishy smell, only fresh sweet and warm.

Before Yang Cheng and Amanda could catch their breath, they digested the beauty of the first main course, and the second duck liver cold pie was brought to the table. It melted in the mouth, it was refined and full, and the faint aroma of wine was still in it. With a hint of milk, the duck liver that melted in the mouth like an ice cream made Yang Cheng feel like a carnivore for the first time tonight, and a layer of crispy celery roots and western pears attached to the duck liver The shredded cubes exude a burst of fragrance, and quickly eliminate the greasy feeling brought by eating meat. It is paired with thin milk flakes and crispy hazelnuts that seem to be transparent, and it is made with aged Italian vinaigrette. The sour-flavored jelly bars make the taste in the mouth reach a perfect balance.

"Um~ so full~" Amanda murmured after eating the duck liver, stroking her belly.

Yang Cheng eats faster, drinking red wine early and waiting for the next dish to arrive, "I'm full so soon? Look at the menu, not counting dessert, there are at least 3 dishes, but there is no waste here."

Amanda put her slender fingers into the dazzling blonde hair, and squirmed back casually, and said unconvinced, "Who said I can't eat anymore, don't worry, there is still a lot of room for my appetite."

Yang Cheng shrugged and declined to comment, and laughed at her when she couldn't eat it. The effect was better.

"Oh, I almost forgot to do business." Amanda called out suddenly, took out a stack of documents from her bag and put them on the table and pushed them to Yang Cheng.

Yang Cheng opened the contract in wonder, and asked casually, "What is this?"

"Didn't we set up an investment company in Country Z before? This is the final contract. We have not matched the time and we forgot to sign it for you." Amanda took out the Montblanc signature pen that was always inlaid with diamonds. Put it on the contract.

Yang Cheng said, took off the pen cap, and browsed roughly. The investment amount, capital injection, and dividend ratio were all right, so he didn't look at it carefully~www.wuxiaspot.com~ directly turned to the penultimate page and swiped Shuan signed his own name, and even returned the pen to Amanda. "Have you found any good projects during the establishment?"

Amanda took it and checked it again, carefully put it back in her bag, took out the makeup case and took a photo, and smiled lightly, "Don't say it, according to your reminder, I specifically asked the staff over there to pay attention to several areas. I really found a few companies with good potential. One of them is a special car company modeled on Uber. I think it has great potential. After all, there are a few hundred million people and the market is too big. Just biting off a piece of meat is enough. I've been eating for several years."

Listening to Amanda's not very vivid metaphor, Yang Cheng asked with a wry smile, "Which company is it?"

He probably had a guess in his mind that it was established at this time, and the one that can be noticed by Amanda again should be "Didi", right?

Sure enough, Amanda said, "It's Didi. It's good to remember this name. Even a foreigner who doesn't understand Chinese can easily remember me. I have the potential to become a brand."

"So? How much did we invest?" Yang Cheng is most concerned about how much money can be allocated. Like Jack Ma said, there is no one who has the power to recognize money.

Amanda put up an index finger, "100 million U.S. dollars, we are too late to follow up. The D round was led by the social giant Penguin Group in Country Z. A total of 700 million U.S. dollars was raised. We only got less than 2% of the shares. , Even the board of directors cannot enter."

Yang Cheng smacked his tongue. He really didn’t understand this. He always felt that Didi was a money-burning company, and a certain transportation department might not allow anyone to jump out to grab cakes from them. In his opinion, Didi would not be able to do so in the long run. So I didn't put too much attention on it. I didn't expect it to expand so much now. "Less than 3%, is the valuation approaching 5 billion so quickly?"
