Baguettes and Macarons

=========================

Louis didn't take a look at the tempting fresh food outside the door at all, but stayed with him to look at the hot menu in the store, which made Yu Chen feel embarrassed, and finally said to the clerk, "If you have any recommendations, come here Let's have one", he pushed Louis to the seafood stall outside to pick fresh oysters.

Louis squinted at the ones in Shiraishi Yuya's basket, picked out a few bigger and more expensive ones, then took the basket to the boss with his pocket in his pocket, and grabbed Yu Chen's wrist: "Go inside and order a drink."

As soon as he walked in, he asked loudly, "What kind of beer is there?"

Yu Chen said in a low voice: "Don't drink beer when eating seafood, it's not good for your health, and it also affects the taste of seafood." He looked at the glass wine cabinet next to the cash register, "These wines don't have wine labels, are they brewed by the restaurant?"

The waiter at the cashier said enthusiastically: "Yes, although it is self-brewed, this wine is a table wine in the Provence region. The grapes are all grown in the Provence region, and it is one of the famous signs of our restaurant."

Yu Chen pointed to a light golden glass wine bottle: "I would like to ask, is this bottle sweet white? What kind of grapes are it made from?"

"Grape varieties...I'll return this, wait a moment, I'll ask the owner."

Yu Chen hurriedly said: "No, don't bother, just get a bottle. Also, we ordered two portions of Provence fish soup just now, and it should be eaten with bread. Do you have any recommended bread?"

"Baguette." Louis interjected.

Yu Chen sighed: "Two short baguettes. The man with the child outside the door is our friend, and we will pay for the fresh food he chooses together."

The waiter said cheerfully, "Then please sit down."

The two picked a table for four by the window. From the floor-to-ceiling windows, you could just overlook the port facing the restaurant. Although this area was densely packed with fishing boats mooring in the harbor, there was nothing to see.But from here, you can also see Yuya Shiraishi and Jean-Luc who are lingering in front of the seafood stall. The former has already picked out a basket of seafood and put it on the scale of the stall owner, while the latter is still stacking up high without being satisfied. Oysters on a tall crab tower.

Shiraishi Yu also helped him hold the crab, bowed his head and spoke for a long time, before Jean-Luc put down the oysters that had no place to put them, handed the basket to the stall owner, turned around and ran towards the restaurant.

He was so excited that he didn't even look at the road, and Bai Shiyou followed him into the restaurant, and the first sentence was "slow down, be careful."

Before the words were finished, Jean-Luc stepped on a puddle of seawater that was sprinkled by the unknown guest, and fell to the ground.

Louis: "Hahahahahahahahaha."

Yu Chen patted his arm before he stopped laughing.Instead, Shiraishi Yu also strode forward, helped Jean-Luc up, checked the wound on his elbow, and cast a disapproving glance at Louis.

"are you OK?"

"I'm fine!" Jean-Luc jumped up vigorously and ran towards Louis, using street provocation tricks, and gave Louis the middle finger.

Bai Shiyou also breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Would you like something to drink?"

Yu Chen said, "I just ordered sweet white wine."

Shiraishi also shook his head, and squatted down: "I'm asking what you want to drink, can't you have a drink?"

"I'll drink that." Jean-Luc immediately pointed to the Coke.

Shiraishi also frowned: "Coke is very unhealthy, and if you drink too much carbonated drinks, you won't be able to eat."

"That sounds familiar." Louis plucked his ears with his little finger.Yu Chen immediately handed over a napkin and gestured for him to wipe his hands with his eyes.

Jean-Luc pursed his lips and said, "Then I'll just drink water."

Shiraishi You also stood up: "Is there any tea here?"

The waiter said excitedly: "You know how to eat seafood! We have cold black tea, which is most suitable with seafood. Children can drink it with sugar."

"Do you think it's okay?" Shiraishi Yu also looked at Jean-Luc.

Jean-Luc narrowed his eyes: "Well, add a few more sugar."

Shiraishi also gestured two fingers to the waiter: "Add two cubes of sugar."

Jean-Luc thought he hadn't heard, and said loudly: "I said more, not less."

Bai Shiyou also smiled and said: "Two yuan is already a lot."

Jean-Luc still had to argue, the seafood stall owner dragged a huge plate full of ice cubes, walked briskly into the restaurant with his stomach full: "Whose lobster platter is for you?"

Bai Shiyou also hooked the corners of his lips: "If you don't sit down, the two people over there will eat up the lobster."

Jean-Luc ignored the issue of adding sugar to the black tea, slipped around the seafood stall owner's legs, got to the table, and sat firmly on the chair.

Every table for two in the restaurant has an iron rack, which is specially used to hold cold cuts.The stall owner put the carapace platter away, and Louis immediately pulled a shrimp onto his plate.

Jean-Luc caught a lobster and looked out the window: "Where are the oysters?"

Yu Chen laughed and said: "The oysters should be eaten last, because they are so delicious. If you eat them in advance, you will feel that the crabs are bland."

Jean-Luc snorted, grabbed the lobster tail with both hands and pulled it, spraying soup all over himself.Louie sneered while biting the shrimp shell with his teeth.

He laughed for a long time, peeled off the shrimp, only to find that Yu Chen was pouring white wine into three goblets, as if he didn't even look at the platter.Louis just remembered that he said he doesn't eat raw seafood.

Then there is no other way, you can’t force him to eat.Louis picked up the lemon on the cold plate, squeezed a little on the shrimp, and began to feast on it.Shiraishi Yu didn't know what to say to the waiter, so he walked to the table, sat on the only vacant seat next to Jean-Luc, and said in a low voice, "Please extend your hand."

Jean-Luc was puzzled, reluctantly put down the lobster, and stretched out his hand.Bai Shiyou also tore off the small piece of paper he was holding in his hand, took out the band-aid inside, and stuck it on his scraped wound, then wiped his hands with a wet towel to pick up the lobster.

"Eh?..." Jean-Luc stared at his arm for a long time before he realized, "Thank you, Mr. What."

"It's okay, let's eat." Shiraishi Yu also picked up the knife and fork, and elegantly dismembered the lobster, as if by magic, without splashing any juice.He peeled the shrimp, but he didn't rush to eat it. Instead, he cut off half of the shrimp meat and put it on Yu Chen's plate, "Try it, the lobster sashimi is delicious, you won't hate it."

Yu Chen didn't move: "Thank you, Yuya. But I really don't eat sashimi."

"People have said that they don't want to eat it, so why do they have to force him to accept it?" Louis muttered.

Yu Chen was sitting next to him, and when he heard this, he patted his arm under the table to comfort him, and changed the subject: "Yuya, why don't you try the wine here, although it's not AOC level, but it has a special flavor."

Shiraishi also put down the knife and fork, shook the wine glass, sniffed the aroma of the wine, and finally took a sip: "Mmm, it's sweet and sweet, with a faint floral aroma. I guess it's made from Chardonnay grapes."

"But I think it's Bai Xie Ning." Yu Chen raised his wine glass, "How about we make a bet?"

Bai Shiyou also smiled: "What are you betting on?"

Yu Chen raised a finger: "The loser will have a drink at the Yell Islands at noon tomorrow!"

"Well, anyway, there will be no Hennessy on the island, I can afford it." Shiraishi Yu also readily agreed.

Jean-Luc asked curiously, "What are Chardonnay, Blanche, and Hennessy?"

"Eat your shrimp." Louie said in a rough voice, who also didn't understand.

Yu Chen beckoned to the waiter, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, but I still have to trouble you, can you ask the shopkeeper for me, what kind of grapes are used in this wine?"

The waiter readily agreed, and came back after a while and said, "The owner said it was a white Xie Ning grape."

Shiraishi Yu also lowered his eyes and remained silent.Yu Chen smiled and said, "Then you want to buy us a drink tomorrow, Yuya."

Shiraishi also put down his glass: "Sure enough, I can't compare to you in terms of aesthetics or understanding of wine."

"I'm just kidding, don't take it too seriously." Yu Chen didn't get the expected reaction, and quickly explained, "I just cheated!"

"Don't console me."

Yu Chen said solemnly: "It's true. I just asked the waiter, and he said that this wine is a regional table wine, made from grapes in the Provence region. Provence is adjacent to the Mediterranean Sea, so it must be the Xenin Blanc, which loves the ocean climate. .I'm sorry, I was the one who got smart."

"So that's the case, do you want to think about the problem from a different angle?" Shiraishi Yu also murmured to himself.

Louis sneered: "He was just joking, can you not treat it as a class? You can make people can't even eat like this."

Shiraishi also lowered his head and said nothing more.Yu Chen said in a warm voice: "When you come out to play, you should have a good rest, don't even think about working, Yuya."

Bai Shiyou also said hello, and at this moment, the seafood stall owner brought the cold shellfish over with brisk steps and put them on the shelf, blocking the sight of the two of them.

Yu Chen stared at the plate of shells, and said to himself: "Mucum..."

Louis stopped gnawing on the shrimp shells, and said to the stall owner, "Can I trouble you to cook the crabs quickly and serve them up?"

"Coming soon!"

Bai Shiyou also raised his head and glanced at him with a complicated expression.

The stall owner quickly brought over boiled crabs, and Louis dropped the gnawed mussels and began to dismember the crabs.This crab is very plump, even the legs are as thick as a thumb, and it is full of meat when it is cracked open.Because it is caught in seawater, it has a salty taste of sea salt, so there is no need to add any seasoning.Louis picked up a hill of crab meat and put it on Yu Chen's plate: "Stop drinking, eat crabs."

"Thank you." Yu Chen thanked him, and lowered his head to join Taotie's queue.

Fresh oysters were brought up after the crustaceans had been swept away.Jean-Luc, with an extraordinary enthusiasm for oysters peculiar to the French, which is difficult for foreigners to understand, grabbed one and sucked it hard, and drank the oyster meat.
