Fix fixed point

The sun always goes to bed very early in winter.At six o'clock, it was as dark as the night, but fortunately there were street lights to light up such a dark night.The dim street lights lit up in a straight line, extending to places invisible to the human eye, blending with the dim sky like stars.It also adds warmth to such a cold night.

Ting Nuo is not tall, at first glance he doesn't look like a man popular with women.But his tanned skin and thick lips make him look sexy with a Latin flair.The neckline of his shirt was open unafraid of the cold, and there was still big red lipstick on his collarbone that was not wiped clean, as if he had just gotten off that woman's bed after putting on clothes in a hurry.He was holding the handrail of the bus with one hand, looking down at the text messages on his mobile phone.

[Frost Queen: Where the hell are you? ! ! ! ]

[Valentine: Coming Soon]

[Frost Queen: You'd better hurry up, Hong Rui hates waiting for people the most.You better hope you book a place that pleases him.Because I don't remember any place around here getting a star! ]

This is the woman in the kitchen, who has nothing to do with being gentle and virtuous!Ting Nuo shook his head, girls can't talk like that, they won't be able to get married.Before he could reply, he received another message.

[Frost Queen: Don't you have no booking at all?If that's the case, Hong Rui will definitely treat you like Iberian ham and chop it! ]

When Ting Nuo shrank his neck when he saw the name Hong Rui, he could imagine that Hong Rui would never have a good face towards his lateness.When he first joined the job, whenever Hong Rui frowned, he would tremble with fear for half an hour.Hong Rui, his boss, is a legendary character who is irritable, ruthless, and turns his face like a book.Even senior gourmets dare not make mistakes in front of him, because as long as he makes a mistake, even if it is only a tiny bit, Hong Rui can find it out, and then use a thousand times harsher language to give back until the other party feels that he is useless .Most people looked trembling in front of him, ready to be verbally attacked at any time.

But now Ting Nuo is much more casual. After all, a boss who is willing to invite employees to a birthday party will not be mean.Although they had a lot of employees, only he and Xiao Jane were the ones who really worked with Hong Rui—that is, Queen Frost, because her surname was Frost.Xiao Jian has been with Hong Rui much longer than him.Little Jane was his first student.After becoming a teacher, she won many awards, and she won the name of the Frost Queen entirely by herself, and decided to come back and follow Hongrui to make innovations.Ting Nuo himself joined at a later time. He is not a chef, he is far from a chef.He is a serious Cambridge graduate—material application. He joined Hongrui's team after working in Formula Racing for a while after graduation.He admitted that he was dizzy when he saw the condition of eating buns.

No matter it's his birthday or Xiao Jian's birthday, Hong Rui will reluctantly put down the work in hand, book a place with them, and treat them to dinner.

Today is the birthday of the Frost Queen.Tinno didn't book a place, but he wasn't panicked at all.

Ting Nuo jumped off the bus, and saw the Frost Queen wearing a men's black coat and stamping her feet fiercely with her back on his chest, her hands shivering on her chest.Ting Nuo looked down and saw her long legs exposed under the camel coat, and she was stepping on a pair of shiny crystal high heels.Of course it will be cold!He felt that other people's eyes were also glued to Xiao Jane's body, which made him turn his head and stare fiercely at those strange men a few times.They laughed and walked away.

"Hi, little Jane." Ting Nuo quickly hugged Jane from behind and greeted her affectionately.Jane turned around abruptly, looked up and down, and began to pick off Ting Nuo's clothes: "You don't take a taxi or take a bus?"

"You don't have to wait for the bus." Ting Nuo opened his hands helplessly, allowing her to take off her down jacket, and the men's woolen coat she was wearing, and handed it back to another man in black standing beside her. : "Hi, Hong Rui, I'm late, I'm sorry."

The man was tall and thin, with black hair and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He looked like a scholar.He took the coat and nodded as a greeting.He was very cold, his lips were purple from the cold, the fingers that touched Ting Nuo were full of coldness, and his eyes were as cold as the ceramic knife he used often.He glanced at Jane, and said nothing as if he took into account the mood of little Jane.All this made Ting Nuo feel guilty. "The restaurant is right there. Let's go there." Tino pointed at his destination. The neon lights formed two upside-down Fs, intersecting patterns, and the name of Fix's restaurant was lit underneath.

Jane's eyes were not on the signboard, she was looking at the long line of at least ten people at the door.When Hong Rui saw that shop, he couldn't remember who the chef was, and he had never heard of this shop.He put on his overcoat without saying a word, put his hands in his pockets, turned his heels and was about to go home. "Hey, Hong Rui, don't go, don't go." Ting Nuo didn't dare to reach out to pull Hong Rui, but Jian dared.Stepping on her high-heeled shoes, she bowed and clasped Hong Rui's elbow firmly, while winking at Ting Nuo: "You have reserved a seat, right? Then take us there now."

No one dares to compete with a woman in high heels.Hong Rui walked a few steps, and helped Jane, whose posture was unstable because of pulling him, and successfully let Jane let go of his elbow.Tino ran all the way into the restaurant, found the person sitting on the side, and handed him a £10 note.The man stood up and patted Ting Nuo's shoulder: "Brother, it's your turn soon. Where can I go to line up next time and find me again."

As soon as Hong Rui came in, he squinted and looked at the interior decoration of the restaurant.To be honest, as a birthday party, this restaurant is a bit shabby.In the middle of the restaurant is a C-shaped wooden dining table, which makes the restaurant look like it was converted from a bar. A C-shaped bar separates diners from servers, behind which are the wine racks, prep area and kitchen.Waiters walk around behind the bar, refilling drinks for customers.

Most of the guests eat around the bar, and there is another vertical row of tables against the outer wall, mostly for lovers.The aisle is between the bar counter and the tables against the outer wall, and it can only accommodate two people passing sideways.In total, only up to 20 people can be accepted.

There is an entrance and exit for the bar next to the gate, and a young girl with ponytails came out with a register book and a pen stuck in her ear, "Mr. Sanchas, your table is ready." She stopped At the same spot, he looked at the three people in front of him blankly and said, "Hey, it wasn't you who was sitting here just now."

"My friend is in a hurry and left first." Ting Nuo bent down and tried his best to make him smile sincerely, and explained in a soft voice: "I want a seat other than the bar counter, and it's reasonable for three people to sit four people."

The waitress bit her pen and thought for a while, then asked suspiciously: "You don't want to come to the line by yourself, do you want someone to line up for you?"

"I know that you don't make reservations for the convenience of the public, how can I do that?" Ting Nuo looked at the corner and said, "But if you want to change the seats for three of us, I won't object .”

The waitress glanced at the three of them and scanned the registered names again.At this time, the bell rang twice in a row from the kitchen. The waiter waved his hand, turned around and picked up three menus and said, "Okay, okay, I'll take you there."

Jane didn't look very satisfied. Under her coat was a navy blue lace skirt, which made her skin white and transparent.Around his neck is a necklace made of mabe beads and broken diamonds, even if he is sitting in the magnificent Ritz Hotel, no one will feel that it is out of place.She drew thin eyeliner, her bright red lips were full and plump, and her ice blue eyes glanced at Ting Nuo coldly when she passed by. Obviously, she didn't like Ting Nuo's paying for people to line up and open his eyes to tell lies. the behavior of.

And Hongrui wore casually, the iconic black turtleneck sweater, and because he was going out for dinner, he put on a blue-gray slim-fit suit jacket—French people are naturally good at dressing, and this suit is in between casual and formal. The outfits in the room are suitable for any place.Ting Nuo complained secretly in his heart, even if Hong Rui didn't look decent enough, no restaurant would dare to throw him out.

Hong Rui's blue-purple eyes swept across the ground and then the bar.Tino graciously hung up their coats and explained in a low voice before they got angry: "You know that I am serving as a judge in the Top Professional Chef competition. This is the shop of the contestant who is the most favored by the industry among the contestants. He is still very young. Young, only 24 years old and already in the top ten."

Hong Rui looked at the back kitchen, which was blocked by the wine rack.If they sat at the bar they might still be able to see it.But sitting in a low position in the corner, the chef could not be seen at all. Hong Rui closed his eyes and listened for a while, then said: "There are eighteen chairs here, and only one person can be heard walking in the kitchen, and only A man talks to the waiter, so the dishes here are all made by a chef." Although he is French, he has no accent at all, and he speaks quickly and in a low voice, "He must be moving very fast, and the time is right. The ability to master must be very precise. He is also very organized, and it is very clear which one to do first and which one to do next."

"That's right." Ting Nuo snapped his fingers and said, "That kid washes and cuts vegetables as fast as a gust of wind. He was sent to prepare a banquet for 90 people during the emergency mission, and he was not in a hurry. The same thing, the brain is very clear."

"But as a chef, the most important thing is the taste, not the speed." Jane said sullenly, "It's not good, and you don't even have a chance to cook. If it's really good, why haven't I heard of it?"

"It is said that I have heard people talking about it. This is his adoptive father's shop. When his adoptive father was preparing to retire and open the shop, he took it over." Ting Nuo opened the brand new menu, "All the dishes inside have also been changed."

Two professional chefs and a half-way gourmet look at the menu differently from the general public.There should not be too many dishes on the menu. If there are too many dishes, it will definitely not be freshly prepared.In Hongrui’s restaurant, basically every dish has a dedicated chef, and occasionally one cooks two dishes. His restaurant offers a total of 14 seasonal dishes, cheese is not included.

They all know that there is only one person cooking here, so this is the shortest menu they have ever seen.There are two meat dishes for appetizers and appetizers, as well as a vegetarian option, and two desserts suitable for vegetarians.And Chef's Choice of the day.Hong Rui looked at the menu carefully. The soup is a vegetarian starter and can be prepared in advance.Another oxtail-stuffed ravioli can also be prepared ahead of time, and can be served with a vegetarian soup base with no extra effort.The third appetizer was fried cod, which was a bit interesting. Hong Rui guessed that there must be a cod in the main course, which was made from the leftovers of that fish, and he was a person who was very cost-effective.Today's chef's special starter is roast beef bone marrow, which looks like a gift from Xiangshu's butcher shop.Sure enough, the main course included a fried cod, a steak, and creamy mushroom lasagna for vegetarians.The menu looks good, with soups, steaks, fish, and vegetarian dishes, but it exposes the shortcomings of small businesses and a lack of labor.

The ingredients they use have always been fresh and high-grade, and these ingredients are not very attractive to the eyes of the two. Jane glanced at the wine and didn't have much expectation for the food.But from another point of view, apart from the hardware cost, this menu has spent a lot of thought. The chef here is a smart person.Hong Rui looked at today's chef's special main dish, which is matsutake eggs - which is incompatible with this small shop, matsutake is a luxury ingredient.Evaluating desserts was Jane's job, and he never cared much.

Ting Nuo kept looking at Hong Rui's expression, seeing that he didn't look like he was going to leave, and finally let go of his hanging heart.He raised his eyebrows and said to Jane proudly, "Look, Hong Rui didn't say anything."

"This dish is a bit shabby for a birthday party." Hong Rui opened his mouth to pick a mistake: "This kind of place doesn't have decent drinks."

"But we're here for dinner. Believe me, he's going to be famous soon, and we'll have to rely on our boss's name if he wants to eat in the future." Ting Nuo smiled flatteringly.The waitress took the initiative to bring them free water and some olives as a snack, and asked with a smile on her face, "Have you decided what you want to eat?"

PS: Hongrui's name is Henri Ducasse.

Jane's name is JaneFroster, so Froster is translated as Frost by me.

Tinno is the abbreviation of Valentino, who is jokingly called lover by Jane.
