The leisurely life of the rich start

"In the early years, a lot of young people, that is, young people, came to Macau to work, saying that being a waiter was better than working hard in a factory. Now in many big cities in the mainland, wages have been equal to or even surpassed in Macau. Young people It’s too late to regret.”

"I came here in the 90s. On the day of the reunification, our taxi drivers were honking their horns on the street... A few years ago, my family went to Tiananmen Square. Wow, it was really majestic. We even got up early to watch the flag-raising ceremony , so sharp..."

"This is the Friendship Bridge. It cost more than 90 million yuan to build in 6, which is very prestigious."

After chatting with the driver, Zhang Da was about to take out his wallet to pay when he arrived at the destination. Unexpectedly, the driver smiled and took out his mobile phone:

"You can transfer it on WeChat, we are also keeping pace with the times now."

After saying goodbye to the talkative driver, Zhang Da dragged his suitcase into the lotus-shaped Grand Lisboa Hotel.

I don't know if it was because the casino was also inside the hotel, so Zhang Da didn't see the doorman outside the hotel, but after entering the lobby, a waiter immediately took the suitcase in his hand.

Several other idle waiters in the lobby greeted Zhang Da together, and then another person led him to the front desk to check in.

After paying 1000 yuan as a deposit, Zhang Da walked into the elevator under the guidance of the waiter.

Chapter 7 8 Restaurant

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the room, Zhang Da stretched himself comfortably.

Through the clean glass inside and outside, you can see the Nanwan artificial lake.

Since it is called an artificial lake, it was naturally built through land reclamation.

Looking into the distance, you can vaguely see a majestic bridge.

Faced with such beautiful scenery, Zhang Da couldn't help taking a photo.

After standing by the window for a while, Zhang Da, who felt a little tired, sat on the sofa in the room, casually looking at the facilities in the room.

The decoration of the hotel is European-style, with thick carpets on the floor, and the purple lampshade on the floor lamp also has a luxurious and rich feeling.

After putting on his slippers, Zhang Da couldn't help but let out a groan.

The slippers in the hotel are much thicker than those on the plane, so they are very comfortable to wear.

Walking around the room in slippers, Zhang Da, who hadn't been to the toilet for a while, felt a little urge to urinate.

After going to the toilet in a bathroom separate from the bathroom, Zhang Da walked into the bathroom to wash his hands, and was instantly attracted by the small bottles and cans beside the sink.

All HERMES are produced, with French and English written on the front and back. Relying on his solid English skills, Zhang Da can distinguish their uses.

"What a luxury!"

At this moment, Zhang Da was only amazed.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Zhang Da felt that it was worth the money, or even more than it was worth, in the face of the one-night room fee of a thousand or so.

After resting in the room for a while, Zhang Da took the elevator to the lobby again, this time he planned to appreciate the antiques and luxury items in the lobby.

In the center of the lobby, on the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, there is said to be the largest D-color diamond in the world; on the other side, the dragon boat made of pure gold almost blinded his eyes, so that when he saw the gold-plated peacock, he felt nothing but it .

Among the antiques, Hermès, the imperial throne made by Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty can only "condescend" to the side of the lobby.

After turning a corner, another huge piece of jade came into view, and the scene of "Havoc in Heaven" was vividly carved on it, which made people admire the designer's meticulous craftsmanship.

As for the many western artworks, Zhang Da can't see anything famous, he can only feel that they are of great value.

And all the exhibits in the lobby belong to the owner of the hotel - the richest man in Macau.

After turning around, Zhang Da deeply realized that his little money was nothing more than a drop in the bucket in front of real rich people.

Just as he was sighing, the system that had been quiet for two days suddenly "speaked".

"Hey, congratulations to the host for unlocking the achievement 'Broaden Your Eyes' and rewarding you with 1000 million Ruanmei coins."

'This achievement seems to be quite easy to unlock? '

Zhang Da thought as he came to the second floor through the spiral staircase.

The famous Michelin three-star 8 restaurant is on the second floor of the Grand Lisboa Hotel.

Under the guidance of the hotel staff, Zhang Da soon came to the door of Restaurant 8.

A huge "8" logo stands at the entrance of the restaurant, and the restaurant bar also has an "8" logo, and the Michelin three-star medal stands "lonely" on the cabinet next to the bar.

The waiter who spoke Cantonese consciously switched to Mandarin to communicate with Zhang Da after hearing Zhang Da's Mandarin.

After confirming the name of the person making the reservation, the waiter led Zhang Da into the restaurant.

After passing through a slightly dark path full of koi carp, Zhang Da's vision suddenly opened up, and he entered the dining area.

In the center of the restaurant, a giant floor-to-ceiling crystal light ball is emitting light. Needless to say, the "8" logo can be seen everywhere on the wall, and all kinds of goldfish that resemble ink paintings or projections are also amazing.

The whole restaurant is full of elegance and luxury.

"The goldfish in the restaurant means full of vitality, and the character '8' symbolizes auspiciousness and wealth, which are the characteristics of our restaurant."

Seeing that Zhang Da was quite interested in the decoration of the restaurant, the waiter took the initiative to introduce.

After sitting in the seat, Zhang Da discovered that there were even two lovely goldfish and a small "8" logo on the bone plate, and the details were quite in place.

The waiter quickly delivered the menu. Except for the hard dishes and seafood recommended by the chef on the homepage, which are relatively expensive, the prices of many dishes on the menu are relatively "people-friendly".

Half a shredded chicken with crispy grapefruit is 180 MOP, cloud leg steak with seasonal vegetables is 140, and the hotel's special chrysanthemum fish ball soup is 150.

The prices of these dishes are almost the same as many high-end Chinese restaurants in Jinling, or even cheaper.

But unlike those restaurants without any titles, this is the top Chinese restaurant that has won three Michelin stars for four consecutive years.

In an instant, several restaurants were on Zhang Da's "blacklist".

In the end, Zhang Da ordered char siew in rose honey sauce, steamed crab claws with protein in fish soup, A5 Wagyu beef watercress roll and a stir-fried bean sprouts.

It is worth mentioning that when Zhang Da finished ordering the first three dishes, the waiter reminded that it was enough to eat. After Zhang Da said that he had a big appetite and couldn't finish the package, he ordered fried beans for him. Seedling.

After asking Zhang Da if he had any taboos, the waiter took the menu and left.

Looking at the back of the waiter leaving, Zhang Da couldn't help feeling:

Regardless of the dishes, the service alone is several times higher than many restaurants that also charge service fees.

Leaning on the back of the chair, Zhang Da leisurely looked at the goldfish on the surrounding walls. After a while, the waiter put a small plate in front of Zhang Da.

"Hello, sir, this is a complimentary appetizer, abalone and morels."

"Thank...thank you."

Looking at the small abalone and the morel stuffed with broccoli on the dinner plate, Zhang Da couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

You call this a hors d'oeuvres?

Is this the strength of Michelin three stars?Really long experience.

Zhang Da shook his head and smiled wryly, picked up the abalone with chopsticks, and stuffed it into his mouth.

In his opinion, in this combination of "one meat and one vegetable", the morel taste may be lighter, so it should be eaten first.

But it was discovered at the entrance that the morels were stuffed with beef.

The rich meaty aroma exploded in the mouth, but unfortunately the sauce on the morel mushrooms was a bit salty, which immediately diluted the meaty taste.

Zhang Da hurriedly took a sip of water to dissolve the salty taste, swallowed the food in his mouth and picked up the abalone.

The abalone was also poured with the same color sauce as the morel. Zhang Da instinctively felt that it would be a bit salty, but after the abalone was eaten, it was full of umami.

The salty sauce that doesn't go well with the morels can perfectly set off the freshness of the abalone, and even achieve the effect of enhancing the taste. The taste is no worse than that of abalone in some restaurants that costs more than [-] yuan per case.

Michelin three-star experience for the first time, it was a small climax!

After finishing the two snacks, Zhang Da drank his saliva and nodded with satisfaction.

The free snacks were prepared with great care, and Zhang Da was looking forward to the next dishes.

After a while, the barbecued pork was served on the table.

Chapter 8 Contentment

"Our family's char siu is only made from the first cut of fresh plum head pork, which is the lean meat under the pork neck bone. Usually, when meat stalls cut meat, this is where the first cut is made.

Compared with ordinary pork plum meat, this piece of meat has no tendons, and the taste will be softer and tender.

Because of the strict selection of materials, only three and a half catties of plum meat can be made into the plate of barbecued pork in front of you.The sauce is made with maltose and our secret marinade. "

"Okay, thank you."

After thanking Zhang Dadao, he couldn't wait to pick up a piece of char siu and put it in his mouth. As the waiter said, it was fragrant, soft and tender.

But what is even more amazing is the sauce on the meat, which is sweet and has a fruity fragrance, making the char siu taste not greasy at all.

Zhang Da dipped some sauce into his mouth with his chopsticks alone, feeling the aroma of pears in the sauce.

'It's really good! '

After eating a few more slices of barbecued pork, Zhang Da leaned back on the chair comfortably.

Although a piece of char siew costs more than 300, but such a taste, coupled with such an environment, can be said to be worth the money.

Zhang Da, who was enjoying the delicious food, did not know that there was a waiter not far away watching his every move.

Seeing that more than half of the char siew on the table was eaten, the waiter lowered his head and whispered a few words into the portable microphone.

So, when Zhang Da was about to finish eating a plate of char siu, steamed crab claws with fish soup and protein were served.

This is a typical dish. The waiter helped Zhang Da uncover the bowl, and emphasized that the steamed eggs in the bowl are made entirely of egg whites.

However, if you only look at the surface, this dish is nothing more than adding a crab claw in the center of the steamed egg.

"Okay, thank you," Zhang Da thanked as usual, "Please add a Coke for me."

This plate of char siu has already made him happy, even if the restaurant's Coke is more than 10 times the premium, he still plans to have a drink.

"Okay, sir, would you like some lemon and ice?"

"Well, both!"

After ordering Coke, Zhang Da picked up a small spoon and lightly took a spoonful of steamed egg white.

The moment Xiaoshaokan touched the steamed egg, Zhang Da's expression changed slightly.

This steamed egg is too smooth and tender.

His arm didn't exert any strength at all, and the spoon easily "scratched" the steamed egg, reaching the bottom of the bowl.

Zhang Da's eyes widened involuntarily as he carefully put the steamed egg into his mouth.

The umami taste of the fish soup rushes straight to the forehead, and the egg white is even more tender than imagined, it melts in the mouth...

No, it should be said that the protein has been "melted" before the entrance, and there is no feeling of eating solids at all when the entrance is in the mouth. With this extremely fresh fish soup, it is like inhaling a breath of fairy air.

Zhang Da believes that even without the crab claws in the middle, this bowl of 240 MOP steamed eggs seems to have "returned its cost" with only fish soup and egg whites.

good!Next, try the "gifted" crab claws.

Well, simple crab flavor, two words, fresh and sweet.

The more wonderful point is that the super delicious fish soup does not cover the umami taste of the crab claw itself. If you ask a more "Michelin" word to express it, it will be "full of layers".

After gulping down the steamed eggs, Zhang Da wanted to have another serving.

But considering that there are still two dishes behind, he gave up.

So, when the waiter came to remove the empty plates again, Zhang Da asked with luck:

"Hello, I would like to ask, is it still possible to book a seat for tomorrow?"

"Sorry, sir, the seats are fully booked until Sunday, and if you want to make a reservation, you can only make it through the official website or send an email."

The waiter explained slightly apologetically.

"Ah, got it, thank you."

Touching his chin with some regret, Zhang Da could only wait for the next dish to be served.

The third course was a hard dish, A5 Wagyu Beef Watercress Roll.

A5 Wagyu is the grading of the top Wagyu by Neon people who have a good and bad life, and it can almost match the M9+ grade Wagyu in Australia.

This dish is more "unpretentious", simply relying on ingredients to win.
